Champion is once again spelled "G-r-i-m-a-l-d-o" after another rousing Inland Northwest Regional Spelling Bee in Lewiston, Idaho. Julia Grimaldo, a seventh-grader from Orofino Junior-Senior High School, repeated as the winner at the competition, which Lewis-Clark State College hosted. Julia carries on the family tradition set by her older sisters, Anna and Frances Grimaldo.
