Kimbel wins spelling 'bee- aI,00a00i,n, ..... € By CAROLYN MADDUX The Bob Kimbel, Incorporated team- Curt Bennett, Joan Ben- nett and Christe Bennett - won the 1999 Spring Spell-E-Bration event last Thursday night at Saint Edward's Hall. That's not news. Kimbel is now a three-time winner, having taken the honors in 1995 and 1997. What's news is that The Shel- ton-Mason County Journal team, whose best effort to date was a third place at the first Spell-E- Bration back in 1994, took sec- ond, narrowly beating the Hoods- port Spellbounders, who were third-place winners last year, too. ()KAY, SO OUR point of view is a bit prejudiced. From a prejudiced point of view, then, here's how it went. Master of ceremonies John Glenewinkel warmed the audi- ence to the competition by issuing l0 words for any spellers who coughed up a $5 entry fee. He was helped out by Pat Edmondson, who sang a song of her own com- position containing all 10 words: technotronic, colossal, millenni- um, scenario, infinitesimal, nona- genarian, picayune, ubiquity, en- trepreneur and desiccate. Sheran Bullock won that com- petition, spelling seven of the 10 CHAMPIONS AGAINI The Bob Kimbel, Incorporated team of (from left) Christe, Curt and Joan Bennett show off the ceramic trophy and commemorative plates they garnered in the team's third win. sinus, sticky, mongoose, wary, church, yield, beetle, cricket, con- sider and derby. But it was a tell- ing round: the Friends of William G. Reed substituted an i for an e in despair and went down to des- pond, and eager SHS Queen Bees couldn't believe reek was simply reek and spelled wreak. In Round 6, everyone made it through contemplate, remorseless, marjoram, perilous, asunder, bal- sam, possessed, bantam, inveter- ate, ermine and verbatim. How- ever, the groundwork for tragedy was laid; a large gold-and-black mylar bee balloon, after accompa- :;,, nying the Mason Orchard Bees to : "::: :' tinate, caveat, descried, capri- cious, cetaceans, mistral, polio- myelitis, and juvenilia. IN THE NINTH round, Olympic College went in the hole on caldera, CHOICE friends missed catachresis, and the Biene-Buyog-Bee group mistook Seder for "satyr." The remaining teams squeaked through with Lil- liputian, piqued, jeremiad and Menkenese. The Journalites went into a trance. Could they still be in the running? The WCC team Currently Un- known, last year's champions, found its Unknown word one for the books: florilegium, and after the remaining teams spelled amethysts and pertinacious, the North Mason teachers were scratched by pruritus. That left three teams in the running, but the Hoodsport Spellbounders were left feeling sheepish by ar- gall. And The Journal was still in. THE RULES change when only two teams are left. For one thing, spellers who can earlier write down their word and read in at the microphone can no long- er read from a written spelling. For another, misspelling a word isn't an automatic ouster; the other team must spell it correctly and spell the next word right as well. The Journal gang blew it by dining before the spelling bee: their nemesis word was precibah "before dinner." Curt Bennett marched to the mike and spelled it right. The last word was chinchilla for the win. Note: Our computer's spell- check function didn't know preci- bal either. For that matter, it didn't know 18 of the words in- cluded in the competition. So none of us needs to feel bad; that's more words than the whole field of teams missed at the spell- iii i i iili ? iiii!/iii;i ( i :)iii / i i!: : :!

"E-r-m-i-n- e," spelled Elspeth Pope before adding plaintively, "And is there a 16-foot person in the Crowd who could get my balloon down?" The Mason Bees, bereft of mas- cot, were among the teams that buzzed out in the seventh round when Dr. Barnard moved into the "difficult" list for the final stage of the competition.
