Teacher
shares
personal
odyssey
By KATHLEEN DUFFY
The Mt. Laurel Sun
Walking off a shuttle bus in
Ames, Iowa, for the World Fi-
nals with her Odyssey of the
Mind team shortly before they
were to compete, teacher Car-
olyn Adragna lost her footing
and shattered her lower leg.
In the next few days,
Adragna would witness the
power of human kindness
firsthand over and over again.
The team flew to Ames on
May 23.
Once arriving, they met up
with a team from Woodstown
High School whom had trans-
ported the seven members sets
and props.
There were over 800 teams
participating at the Worlds,
she said, with upward of 10,000
people in attendance at the
University of Iowa.
Teams were from all over
the world, from Poland to
China to Singapore.
It was enormous, she said.
The team had to rebuild
their set after it arrived since it
was in pieces to make the trip,
and they had two days in
which to prepare.
Adragna attended the
events opening ceremonies.
Preparation continued.
After the students had their
set built, they headed out to
lunch taking a university shut-

Brandon Imp stands atop a mountain on the Appalachian Trail in 2010. He will be at the screening at Lenape High School on Saturday, June

Documentary a labor of love
By KATHLEEN DUFFY
The Mt. Laurel Sun
Imagine embarking on a
2,178.3-mile hike through 14 states
on the Appalachian Trail along-
side your best friend and sibling
with a video camera rolling.
That is exactly what Katherine
Ringleader Imp, a former resi-
dent of Mt. Laurel and graduate
of Lenape High School, did for
five months in 2010.
The three of us are very dif-
ferent, Imp, the documentarys
director, said. The one thing we
have in common is that we all
love adventure.
Approximately 2,000 people at-
tempt the journey each year, but
only 1 in 5 actually reach the end
point: Mt. Katahdin in Maine.
The three young hikers added
an extra element to their adven-
ture: a video camera.
Head out to Lenape High
School at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June
30 for a documentary screening of
Beauty Beneath the Dirt.
As a result of months of edit-
ing work on about 80 hours of ma-
terial, the film is currently 68
minutes long.
There is an entrance fee of $10
at the door.
Imp, her brother Brandon
Monkey Imp and best friend
Emily Lightning Ginger began
the Appalachian Trail thru-hike
at Springer Mountain, Georgia in
March of 2010.
We didnt know anyone from
Mt. Laurel or the South Jersey
area who had done this, Imp
said. This film is less about hik-
ing the Appalachian Trail and
more about three young city
kids.
The trio averaged about 20
miles each day on the trail with
