Sidney student heads to national spelling bee after acing the word "hydraulic"

The Daily Star, which was one of the sponsors of Saturday's Regional Spelling Bee, reports that 12-year-old Tatum Kiff from Sidney Central School won a trip to Washington, DC. She'll compete against other kids from across the country in the Scripps National Spelling Bee this June.

The winning word that led Kiff to victory? "Hydraulic." That's a pretty appropriate piece of Catskills vocabulary to master, we think.
