Children’s book author Jean-tittle is surrounded. by winners of the Short Story Contest. They are, from left to right: sichaet Kalesnikoff, Linda Hall, Allison By LINDA HALL The Castlegar Library celebrated National Book . Week by inviting two authors of children's books to the library and sponsoring a short story contest. Eric Wilson of Nelson, author of the popular Tom and Liz Austen. mystery series for young adults, presented a workshop on writing and publishing children's books. To the dozen people who attended, he related how he got his start in children’s books. As a teacher of a group of delayed learners, he desperately wanted them to read — and read a lot. But he found that few books held their interest. He took up the challenge and decided to write one. The kids loved it. Encouraged, he sent it off to a publisher. It came right back, rejected. With his first book making the rounds from publisher | to publisher he started others. He has published six books for young people featuring Tom Austen, an “average” teenager who becomes involved in an incredible number of mysteries, SI EM ENS, Walter A Brommeland, Shannon Colville, Hedda Brecken- ridge, Kevin Stein and Denis Peregrym. Missing from photo are: Gary Kooznetsoff, Pauline Orr “sand Carrie Bristow. celebrated hijackings, hostage takings and crug dealings; and his “glder and wiser" sister, Liz, who invariably gets involved along with him. (P.S. Wilson never did get that first book published.) On Monday night Jean Little, another -children’s author, came to the library along with her seeing-eye dog, Zephyr, for a special story-telling time. She had such a magical way of talking and had so many stories, that even the youngest of the group sat spellbound the entire evening. Right from the start, Little stated it was evident that she would be a writer. “My first word was Mommy, my second word was Daddy, and my third word was ‘book’.” She has been writing poems, stories and has been telling “yarns” ever since she was small. Her first book, “Mine For Keeps,” came about in a similiar way to Eric Wilson's, She was teaching. handi- capped children and found there were no “real” books about them. All tle books about handicapped children presented them in a very untrue light, she said. “They were always angelic. They would sit at the windows and look at the children playing and sigh. In the end they either were miraculously cured or they died. ROYAL COUPLE...

The Plane Crash By MICHAEL KALESNIKOFF Grade5 One night CPA's 747 took off on No. 3 runway. The plane was bound for Van- | couver "from New. York. When the plane reached the Rockies it ran into a bad storm. The wind was very strong, and the pilot could not see through the falling snow. Soon the plane was out of control. It fell faster and faster, and soon crashed on a snowy mountain, The plane's wings were bent, but luckily no one was hurt. However, it was very, very cold. The passengers thought they would freeze. Luckily some explorers saw the plane crash. They started to walk towards the plane. DRESS? TK aa AIG ‘When the explorers had almost reached the plane a- big, white, furry monster jumped out in front of them. It roared and roared. The men were frightened. They started to run. One man got his gun and fired a shot into the air. Now the monster was frightened and ran back to his cave. The explorers went to the plane and helped everyone out. They showed the passen- gers the way to the village, : and in a couple of hours everyone was safe. And the monster? He moved into the plane, and lived happily ever after in his new home. FEUER ULE pe Divided We Fall : By : HEDDA BRECKENRIDGE "AND GARY KOOZNETSOFF The whole problem began in the kingdom of Gnarre. The king — Roste — decided that, Gnarre was too small and constricting (it shared an island with another king- dom). Gnarre was a very small kingdom with no for- ests or resources to speak of and it was flat-and dry — basically a desert. The only interesting thing’ about Gnarre was the many-colored sand in the desert. What King Roste proposed was to'join Gnarre and Hol- arre thereby increasing size as well as the resources. Holarre — the neighboring kingdom — had forests and mineral resources as well. The king of Holarre — Vrime — thought this was a ridi- culous idea (who would want anything to-do with that desert?) and so refused Roste'’s offer. At this, Roste grew an- gered and worked himself into a fury. After consulting his ministers he challenged Vrime to a joust: if Roste won, the kingdoms would be joined and if Vrime won, the countries would remain sep- arate. At first Vrime refused, but Roste continued to send insulting messages. Stung, Vrime agreed to the joust. Roste had a_ beautiful daughter named Celeste with long, dark hair and milky. white skin. Vrime had a son — Mare — who was as blonde as Celeste was dark and was very tanned. Celeste and Marc were deeply in love but -'they rarely saw one another although they lived. fairly close. ' The day of the joust finally arrived. It was to be held on the border between the two countries. The subjects gathered around the field and Marc. and Celeste stood to- gether, There was a blare. of trumpets and King Roste of Gnarre, astride his horse and wearing a heavy suit of ‘ar- mour, entered the «field. When the cheers had: sub- sided the trumpets : sounded Roste sighed heavily and rose. "My minister is right, Vrime. We have been fool: ish. Let Celeste and Marc marry and become king and queen. They will rule well over the island.”.Roste and Vrime shook hands, smiling. The crowd disolved into joyous cheers and applause. Celeste blushed happily as Marc took her in his arms. again and King Vrime of § Holarre (garbed the same as Roste) cantered briskly. onto the field, * A hush fell over the crowd. Celeste dropped the haridker- chief and the joust began. Vrime galloped toward Roste and Roste quickly struck out with his spear. Vrime fell to -the ground, unable to save himself because of the heavy armour. Roste stood in his saddle to acknowledge his victory but he overbalanced and toppled from his horse. The kings’ squires rushed onto the field and led the horses out, then opened the helmets of Roste and Vrime:" Two very sheepish looking grizzled’ old men emerged from the armour. Now Roste’s wisest minis- ter stepped forward and cried loudly, “My friends]. ret us no longer be -ruled::b: these foolish men.

Let them rule and guide us.” The Story of the Water Lily By LINDA HALL When Besty Betger looked out of her window that morning all she saw was water. No trees. No flowers. No. grass. Not even the mountains. Her house and all the other houses on the block were floating in a gigantic lake. She ran down to the kitchen. where her mother was pouring orange juice. “Mom, Mom! Did you look outside? We're floating!” Her mother glanced up. “I guess it rained last night. Well, you and Troy will have to get to school as best you n.” Betsy gulped down her Cheerios and juice and. ran downstairs to pump up their old rubber raft. With some difficulty, be- cause everything kept float- ing around and changing position all the time, Betsy and Troy managed to find the school. They tied the raft up to the bicycle rack and went inside. All day long the school drifted around, swaying back and forth. The teachers, as you can imagine, had a bit of a problem keeping the stu- dents well-behaved and qui- et. In Betsy's class, Ms. Powell couldn't write on the board. Her letters kept get- ting all squiggly. Art class was no better. Paint jars kept spilling all over the floor, and in music class, the piano kept rolling out from under Mr. Utley, the teacher. Jennifer McAllister was the first to notice Stedman's floating by. Shoppers sat on roofs of their cars and used their shopping bags or purses to paddle themselves home. During the morning Super- Valu drifted by so close that everyone thought for sure they would crash, including Ms. Powell who made all children sit on the floor with their heads down. The build- ings missed each other. by inches, and everyone gave a great big sigh of relief. The shoppers looked in the class- room windows and waved. The lady in the bakery threw a bagful of giant cookies in to the kids. Just before lunch all the fish out of the aquar- ium. When Ms. Powell's back was turned, he scooped them up one by one and threw them out the window. On the,.way home Betsy, and Troy passed Safeway where old, absent-minded Mrs, Baird was standing at the entrance holding -‘her grocery bags and calling for help. She had forgotten to tie up her Toyota, and it had floated away while she shopped. The kids finally found it, the front bomper firmly hooked under the li- brary's drainpipe. After they towed it back, Betsy saw a yellow bit of something glistening in the exclaimed as they paddled closer. “Well,” said Troy, “I guess if we can't have real ground flowers .. .” -At home, Betsy gave the lily she had picked to her mother who put it ina pretty glass bowl and set it on the piano.
