RULE CHANGE SAVES ROTARY’S PRIDE

With memories of an embarrassing rout in 2008, Rotarians regrouped in the Second Annual Knowledge Bowl competition with the crack Steamboat Springs High School team by changing the rules.

“If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, was our strategy this year, “ Rotary President Mike Forney said. Each of the three competing teams featured two Rotarians and two students. Math questions were also eliminated this year, much to the relief of at least one Rotarian who proclaimed last year, “I don’t do math!”

The mixed teams successfully answered 22 of the 36 questions posed by high school Knowledge Bowl coach Barb Tuchlinsky.

“Rotarians called out six correct answers,” Karl Gills said. “Last year we managed three.” A round of cheers and applause rose from the crowd of 90 each time a Rotary member answered a question correctly. The competition was part of the Steamboat Springs Rotary Club’s regular Tuesday luncheon meeting on March 10th at the Steamboat Grand.
