THANK YOU FROM Ken Geddes, Ron Matthews Staff Restaurant, located in the Scotsman Motor Inn would like to thank our customers in Castlegar and area for making our first year By LYNNE VANLUVEN Edmonton Journal EDMONTON (CP) — One way to get a quick laugh out of prickly author W.P. Kinsella is to suggest that-he looks a little like George Custer, the American general who led his men into an Indian massacre in 1876. “Someone else told me that on ce," admits the blond, bearded Kinsella, visiting his home town to promote The Miss Hobbema Pageant, a new collection of stories about Alberta's Ermineskin In dian reserve wonder if one who Readers sometimes there ate two Kinsellas writes about Indians and one who pens baseball stories. Lately Kinsella, $4, has garnered ore fame in the latter category, since his 1982 novel Shoeless Joe became the hit Field of Dreams movie The Miss Hobbema Pageant is Kinsella's_ seventh collection of atales featuring introspective writer Kinsella pens about Alberta Silas Ermineskin and his rowdy sidekick Frank Fencepost It brings to “about 97 or 98"" the total of such stories of aboriginal joys and woes by a writer who claims “the only Indian I know is (painter) Allan Sapp.’ OUT OF TIME “I've been writing about Silas for about 20 years now and though he’s become a more sophisticated writer in that time, he’s only aged about three or four years,"’ Kin sella says He thinks it’s going too far to call Silas his alter ego: “I just put myself in *s. shoes and say, “How would I react if I were in this situation? The Ermineskin stories are set in Hobbema, an oil-rich Indian community south of Edmonton. When told that a Hobbema resident was writing a review of his latest book, Kinsella’s face drop: ped slightly: ‘She'll cut it ratshit,”’ he predicted In the eveni, Marilyn Buffalo Indian McDonald’ S$ review calls the book alicious,” sexist,”* * as well as “racist and A tall, thin man with a penchant all jackets and gold jewelry, Kinsella is shy; he dislikes new stories writer interviews and has stock answers to most questions, FREE TRADER He considers himself a North American writer and says colleagues caught up in Canadian nationalism are whiners. He backed the Canada-U.5. free-trade deal and was excoriated by fellow writers for doing so Beneath Kinsella’s ire lurks long. standing resentment at being dismissed by the academic writing establishment despite or because of — his poular success, art of the Canadian psyche Says you’ ve got to cut down who succeeds,” he says. “My first books got wonderful critical acclaim, were well regar ded,” Then they sold. Now they're totally dismissed by pernicious little nit-pickers in the academic community.” Kinsella has no explanation for the success of his Indian tales ex cept to say that they're good stories which make people laugh yone he recalls. ** Castlegar Cougars Athletic Association EVERY MONDAY 6p.m.-11 p.m. 30 GAMES — 60 % PAYOUT Early Bird Starts at 6 p.m. Regular Bingo Starts at 7 p.m. Come Out & Help Support Our Club SCOUT HALL — 216-8th Ave., Castlegar DE AD POE ETS aS wien GROSS S$ evvnsooane 27 SHRIMP PLATTER 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Available Mon.-Sat., 2 For 1 NOVEMBER SPECIAL °9.95 Eat in only.

Also.on thelist by Edward Swartz, a personal injury lawyer; Were a crib toy that its own manufacturer had warned to “keep out of baby’s reach,” a doll and play clothes by Playskool and chewing gum cigarettes Swartz called the toys on his 18th annual list ‘ta time bomb ready to ex. plode.”” A spokesman for a trade group representing 240 companies that ac count for 90 per cent of the U.S. toy market downplayed the criticism. ‘...@ time bomb ready to explode.' — lawyer Edward Swartz on his annual list of hazardous toys “‘He finds these toys that nobody's buying and nobody's playing with,”” said Jodi Levin, of Toy Manufacturers of America Swartz said the toys he listed were bought within the past six weeks, but one company said its toy that made the list — the X-15 Rocket Plane — hasn't been manufactured for three years “We weren't selling enough of them,” said Joe DiStefano, president of Estes Industries. Swartz cited two toys that replicate implements of destruction in the popular horror movies A Nightmare of Elm Street and Friday the 13th. SMALL WARNING He said the Freddy Krueger gloves, with plastic knives for fingernails, come in a package from the manufacturer, Marty Toy Inc., bearing a warning in small letters: ‘‘Do not wave, poke or jab this glove at anybody's face, eyes, ears or nose He also complained about an array of Friday the 13th replica weapons.
