Book Worms live up to their name By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes The Book Worms sure live up to their name. Book Worms is the name of a team from Clear Lake El- ementary competing in Satur- day’s Oregon State Battle of the Books competition at Cheme- keta Community College in Salem. It’s the fi rst time a team from Clear Lake has advanced to the state level, school program co- ordinator Holly Rushton said. The team of four fourth graders is led by captain Atticus Lush, Roman Eggert and twins Pawat and Pawit Potisuk. Kam- ryn Long is the alternate. Lush’s grandmother, Connie Otto, is the team’s coach. Otto noted the team is mostly intact from last year, when it advanced to the re- gional level. Since all team members have one more year left at Clear Lake, expect more of the same a year from now. “They will stay together,” Otto said. “They have become quite a team. They know the books inside-out.” In the third to fi fth grade age group, the 16 books in- clude Charlie Bumpers vs. the Teacher of the Year, Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library, How to Train Your Dragon, The Lightning Thief and Mission Unstoppable. Otto is thrilled with how in-depth her students – three age 10, two age 9 – discuss de- tails of the books. “To hear third or fourth graders argue about a charac- ter is phenomenal,” the retired literary teacher said. “It makes this woman’s heart sing, for sure. They’re not talking about video games, they’re talking about books.” Team members began read- ing the books last summer and have 20 sets of 16 questions over things such as titles, au- thors, setting, time and plot to quiz each other on. In compe- titions, teams getting the most points when answering those questions have advanced to the state level. Last year Pawat Potisuk was on the team, while Pawit was an alternate. Now they’re both regular team members. “That makes it a lot more special,” Pawat said. While they are twins, Pawat and Pawit are different. For ex- ample, they were both asked which of them is better in OBOB competition. “I don’t know,” Pawat said diplomatically. No such modesty from Pawit, however. “Who’s better? Me!” Pawit said with a big smile. “It’s main- ly because last year I fi nished all of the books.” Eggert takes credit for con- vincing Lush to add Long to the team. “I am Kamryn’s best friend and I knew she was a good reader,” Eggert said. The move paid off at re- gionals, with the two swapping positions a couple of times. In addition, Lush – who also serves as the team’s speaker – got sick during a match and Long stepped in. “It feels awesome stepping in like that,” Long said proudly. Lush has come up with a game plan to help get the team ready for state. “I’ve asked everyone to re- read most of the books,” he said. “I have asked everyone to make sure to really go over What Was the March on Washing- ton? and What was Ellis Island?, since we have to remember street names and dates. Pawat and Pawit read all books be- fore summer was over. They are our secret weapons. They’ve read every book several times. Roman recently reread all the books, a week or two ago.” All of the students are ner- vous about Saturday’s big competition, while also being excited. They are also looking forward to another chance next year. “We’ll have the same team next year,” Lush said. “Al- though if we win state, I guess it might not be so new if do it again next year.” Regardless of how the team does Saturday, Rushton said much has already been accom- plished. “I’m so proud of them,” said Rushton, the librarian at Clear Lake who helped bring the competition back to the school three years ago. “This is such a great experience for them, to show what they can do. The whole school is behind them.” Bird habitat symposium on April 21 The Salem Audubon So- ciety will hold a symposium on maintenance and restora- tion of Willamette Valley bird habitats at Capitol Subaru on Thursday, April 21. The symposium will in- clude a panel discussion on status and restoration of vital habitats in the region as well as the opportunity to meet ex- perts and obtain information. Three major habitat types will be the focus: riparian and wetlands, grassland and oak woodland. Participants will include representatives from the conservation district, nurs- ery industry and researchers. The event will be at Capi- tol Auto Group’s Subaru dealership at 3235 Cherry Ave. N.E. from 7 to 9 p.m. For more information e-mail Society administrator Laurie Buswell at laurie@salemaudu- bon.org.
