Bemiller prepares to go international
By Anthony Godson Editor As if playing the game of basketball wasn't fun enough, imagine spending a week playing basketball in Australia, and then spending three days in Hawaii for a little down time. "I was shocked and .couldn't believe that I was selected," North Wood junior Ben Bemiller said about having such an opportunity to compete in the 2005 Down Under Hoops Classic. International Sports' Specialists, Inc. brings teams of 12 from almost all 50 states to compete against teams from Australia. Somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 athletes will be competing in total. With so many teams competing one might just sit back an enjoy the scenery, but Indiana coach Johnny Holmes has told Bemiller that rest and relaxation isn't the only thing on his mind. "He told me that we are going there to win," Bemiller said. Bemiller and his other 11 Indiana teammates will be meeting right before their trip to Australia on July 16. Once on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia, the guys will begin practicing with international
SCHOOL kindergarten, it actually lowers the number of students in each half day kindergarten by four to five students. Full day kindergarten teacher Honey Walters talked to the board about her work with the students, and the accomplishments the students have made. "I've had an absolutely wonderful year," Walters said. "It's exciting to see what these kids can do." . Walters said that a normal school day involves a lot of repetition, which helps keep the students focused. The students begin by writing in journals, then sharing their writings. Walters then works on the students' oral language skills. In the beginning, she would read a sentence' and ask the student to repeat it, but because of a language barrier, sometimes that would be difficult, y "They may not know* the' language, so they can't repeat it," Walters said. Walters now reads a sentence, has the student repeat the first portion word-by-word, then allows the student to finish the sentence 6n his or her own, using the correct grammar.
Kiwanibull
Submitted by Don Borger We had a double program for this meeting. Our former district Governor, Bill Dawson, was with us and gave an interesting talk about Kiwanis for the benefit of the visitors. He titled his talk, "What Difference Can I Make." A very interesting and timely pep talk. Bilk served as president of the Early Birds Kiwanis Club, as a Lt Governor for Land of Lakes and finally as District of Kiwanis Governor. He and his wife Joan are active members of the Goshen Kiwanis Club. Another former District Governor, Dave Holderman and another

rules. "We'll be spending seven days in Australia and have practice, then have our tournament," Bemiller said. "After that, we'll be flying to Hawaii." Before flying to Hawaii, Bemiller will be taking in all the fights Down Under including visiting many sights in Sydney, seeing an Aboriginal show and doing some boomerang throwing. From there, the group will fly to Hawaii and visit Waikiki Beach and Pearl Harbor. With all of the exciting activities going on, Bemiller is only focused on one thing playing basketball. "I'm pretty much most excited about playing basketball," Bemiller said. As is to be expected the trip between July 16 and 27 isn't free. Each player must first pay $4,000 to play, and the Bemiller Family has already begun raising funds. "Right now we are putting flyers together to hand out to businesses asking for a little help," Bemiller said. "We will also be raising money by selling Nelson's chicken." While the Bemiller's have plans to raise money, they are also happy to receive any sup-
Also to help the students, eight volunteers visit the class. In the beginning, the volunteers would read to the students, but now the students are beginning to read to the volunteers. "I just felt my kids needed more oral language," Walters said about having the volunteers come into the school. The progress the students have made has impressed Walters, a former first grade teacher. "If I had kids came in (to first grade) with what these kids know, I would have been thrilled," Walters said. As a closing statement, Walters left-the board with something to think about. "If these kids could 'do this with me, can you imagine what all kids could do with a full day kindergarten," she said. Sabo, who has spent some time being read to by the students, was also impressed with the progress of the students. "It's, exciting to see the progress these kids have made*," he said. "Ffte of these students had a score of 0 (on -the Oral Language Assessment). They couldn't repeat a sentence, now they are reading. They are still at risk, but at least we have a foundation."

Goshen Kiwanian joined us with an interclub. then for the benefit of the visitors, each of the regular members had a chance to fell the group what the Kiwanis club has meant to them and how it has helped them in their work and daily life. A very interesting program for our potential members as well as our current club member. "Let your speech be always gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone," Colossians 4:6 Last Week's Meeting We were privileged to entertain group of visitors who had been invited to join us by members as potential members. This group included Jeff Lentz, Tanya Denlinger, Sam Beachy, Derek Parker, Craig Walters, Dwight Moudy and Lindsey London. We hope that all these folks will see fit to join us as full fledged Kiwanians in the near future. We were reminded that Jeff Kitson will be hosting a group of willing enthusiasts for a dean-up-paint-up session at the Little Paws playground Saturday, May 14 If any of you folks would like to join Jeff and his wife in this project, you are most welcome to join them at the playground. The 50/50 wipning number was held by Joe Sabo (again) but he failed to draw the joker from the pack. So next week the prize will be $23 plus what comes in next week. It keeps building and building-

• Sabo recognized North Wood's English, Fine Arts and Science Academic Teams on their qualifications for the state competition on May 7.. In qualifying, the science team actually had a perfect score, a first at North Wood. • The board accepted a bid of $39,500 from Brown &' Brown General contractors to put in a new mezzanine in the main gym for storage. • The board tabled a bid for a new synthetic floor in the activity center. The board had two bids for the job, one coming from Foster Floor Specialty for $103,850 and one from Dynamic Sports Construction, Inc. for $70,100. Because of the discrepancy in prices, the board is looking into other flooring jobs Dynamic Sports has done, to be sure the work is done properly. Sabo commented that floors done by Dynamic Sports in Pennsylvania and Ohio have been researched and, "concerns have been raised." Officials will go to Grace College in the coming days to look at their floor, which Dynamic Sports did, to see if the board will go with the company. If they decide not to go with Dynamic Sports, the job will then not be done this summer.
