What river marks Iowa's
eastern border? Name the
mountain range which
makes up the Continental
Divide? Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon began construction
in 2002 on a controversial
wall in what Middle Eastern
country?
These were just a few of
the questions Alan Adams
answered correctly to win
the Kings Mountain Middle
School Geography Bee
Thursday morning.
Adams, an eighth grader,
said his seventh grade social
studies class helped.
“I just remembered every-
thing I learned,” he said.
Adams also prepared by
studying atlases.
The geography whiz said
he wants to travel and see
how other people live.
Social studies instructor
Tim Reed coordinated the
bee. He's upbeat about
Adams chance of advancing
to the state competition.
“I've never had a student
get as many right as he did,”
Reed said.
Television shows like the
“Amazing Race” and news
programs pique students
interest in geography,
according to Reed.
“It’s neat to give them a
global perspective,” Reed
said.
Students were particularly
interested in knowing more
about the south Asian
nations hit by a tsunami, he
said.
Adams will take a 70-
question test which will
determine if he is one of the
100 students from across
ams winner in
eography bee

Laureate Program
Delegation on medicine in
his choice of Australia,
Brazil, China or South
Africa.
JOEL SANTORA
Santora will take part in career-focused study, excitement
and adventure in his choice of locale. He will begin a
unique, life-changing journey of medical and cultural
exploration that will fuel his ambition and provide him
with a tremendous head start toward his dream of becom-
ing a medical professional.
Students participating will study and learn from distin-
guished medical leaders and researchers at top hospitals
and universities. Those include The University of Sydney
School of Medicine and James Cook University in Australia;
The University of Natal - Nelson Mandela School of ,
Medicine and The Medical University of Witswatersrand in
South Africa; Peking Union Hospital College and Chengdu

Health's Osvaldo Cruz Foundation in Brazil.
Students will observe how modern medicine interacts
with one of four distinctly different cultures. Students going
to Australia will see an airbase of the unique Royal Flying
Doctors who reach out and treat people of the outback; in
South Africa, they will experience the many challenges of
caring for growing numbers of HIV/AIDS patients; in
China they will witness first hand the interrelationship
between western medical science and traditional Chinese
healing; and in Brazil they will learn how public health offi-
cials mobilize to proactively treat disease and promote good
health for a diverse population.
