Geo Quiz Team from Berwick academy takes the Gold SOuTH BerWICK – The Geo Quiz champions from Bondgarden Farms were unseated as the Berwick Academy team moved in to take the gold in the South Berwick-Eliot Rotary’s sixth annual Community Geo Quiz, which raised more than $8,500 for a school in northern Haiti last weekend. Bondgarden Farms, which has won the last three Geo Quizes, was edged out by the Berwick Academics, led by high school history teacher Chris Onken, all in fun and to benefit a small school in northern Haiti. The money raised at the recent event that drew about 200 people to the Great Works School came from local businesses and individuals who sponsored the quiz teams for at least $150. Some donated as much as $1,100 to support a team. “There was an incredible amount of support for this project and the quiz as a whole,” said Bonnie Peterman, international director of the South BerwickEliot Rotary who helped organize the event. “The game was as much fun as the cause was
