TUCSON, AZ, April 16, 2014 (Press-News.org) As the only qualifier from Tucson, Bobby hopes to represent his school, his church and his community at the National's in a way that reflects all that God has done in his life.
A very gifted young man, Bobby has been a spelling whiz from an early age. He began reading 2nd grade level books at age 2 and by Kindergarten his reading level was "off the charts". By the time he was in second grade, Bobby was double promoted to the fourth grade class at Calvary Chapel Christian School.
With several spelling bee class wins under his belt and a District win last year in the sixth grade, Bobby has proven to be a spelling genius. This year he took first place in his class and then proceeded to place first in the District, which sent him to the Rocky Mountain State Regionals where he finished in the top 3. This streak of spelling successes has qualified Bobby for the ACSI Nationals.
Bobby's parents, Bob and Jennifer Deyoe are seeking support from the Tucson community to help cover the traveling expenses of attending the National Spelling Bee in Dallas, TX. To support the Deyoe family, please visit their fundraising page :https://rallyup.com/bobby-spelling where you can make a secure online contribution to Calvary Chapel Christian School on behalf of Bobby to help send him and his proud parents to Nationals.

2014-04-16
"This time of year many patients make the transition to outdoor activities-hiking, sailing, walking along the beach. This means they are going to be exposed to a good amount of UV from the sun.

"But we want to remind them that as they spend more time involved in outdoor activities-especially near the seacoast or water, they tend to underestimate their risk of sun and UV damage to their eyes. It's actually greater than ...

According to numbers from the Mayo Clinic, there was approximately one "foreign object" case for every 5,500 operations from 2003 to 2006. Furthermore, ...
