‘Spell Check!’ seeks contestants

Wednesday, February 6, 2013 — Issue 189

BRATTLEBORO — Latchis Arts celebrates its fifth annual “Spell Check! A Spelling Bee for Grown-ups” on the main stage of the Latchis Theatre on Saturday, April 6, at 6 p.m.

This challenge pits trios of spellers against one another before a whimsical panel of judges and emcee Tom Bodett (www.bodett.com).

Community members are invited to form teams of adult spellers and gird for an evening of lexical lightheartedness. The wordplay's the thing, but so are Spell Check's catchy team names, comical costuming, and promise of bragging rights, if not fame and fortune.

Team registration is $100, and each team must raise an additional $100 sponsorship.

Fifteen teams took to the boards in 2012, but only one spelled winner: ExSPELLiarmus, composed of Elizabeth Catlin, Nancy Goodhue, and Robin Patch.

As nature preserves go, the ridgeline property rising up from the West River as it straddles the towns of Dummerston, Brookline, and Newfane doesn't look much different from the rest of the vistas one sees while driving on Route 30 west of Brattleboro. Yet these 626 acres make up a parcel so biodiverse that it includes representatives of nearly every important species of flora and fauna in the Green Mountain State. It is one of the few large semi-wilderness areas...
