Couple encouragereading, writingAnyone can be an author
By SHAREE DEMPEWOLF“You can be an author,” said Dave
Sargent as he opened his presenta-tion at Oberlin Elementary Schoolon Wednesday, Jan. 4. Mr. Sargentand his wife, Pat Sargent, are au-thors from the South.
The couple visits elementaryschools across the country free ofcharge, where they talk about theirwriting experiences and tells stories.Mr. Sargent writes fiction, but Mrs.Sargent is a nonfiction writer.
Mr. Sargent was born and raisedon a dairy farm in northwest Arkan-sas. After struggling with reading,and then reading for years, he beganwriting books in 1990. It was thenhe decided to dedicate his life to en-couraging children to read andwrite.
Mrs. Sargent is a former teacherand was born and raised in southeastOklahoma, where her parents wereboth teachers. She shared why shebegan writing in the fourth grade. Ablack and tan coonhound, namedBarney the Bear Killer, saved herlife when she was 8 years old. Shehas a scar on the left side of her faceto back up her story.
Mr. Sargent told the Oberlin stu-dents stories about a skunk namedSandy that was 9 years old and verysmart, and a 3-year-old bat namedDing Bat.
Mr. Sargent asked for a studentwho liked to read and liked schoolto go up to the front of the gym. Hethen told her to pick the oldestteacher; the student chose fourth-grade teacher Sherri Ruf.
Mr. Sargent then told his audiencea story and when he was done, ex-plained that since he was a fictionwriter, everything he told them wasfake or made up, including namingMrs. Ruf as the oldest teacher, sinceshe is really one of the youngestteachers.
Mrs. Sargent next told nonfictionstories about her life growing up bythe Red River. Most of Mrs. Sar-gent’s stories were about her dogBarney, who saved her life as achild.
Mrs. Sargent has written severalbooks about her adventures in thesouth. She told about her coon hunt-ing adventures, with her dog Barneyby her side.
Mr. and Mrs. Sargent have hadover 400 books published in theUnited States, Australia, and China,including the Animal Pride series,Feather Tail series, Barney the BearKiller series, and the I Can Read,Too series.
After Mr. and Mrs. Sargent fin-ished telling stories, students andteachers could buy their books,which the Sargents autographed.

New StudentDuygu Kavran
By KAITLYN STAPPDuygu Kavran is our foreign ex-
change student from Bursa, Turkey.Her parents are Fatih Kavran andSerpil Kavran. Duygu is currentlystaying with Delayne and RichardMay, Danica and Nolan, along withour other foreign exchange student,Jinkeyung Baek from Korea.
In Turkey, Duygu had alreadygraduated from high school. Shechose to be in the foreign exchangeprogram as a class of English for herschooling.
Tungsiper High School was thename of Duygu’s high school inTurkey. There she participated involleyball. Duygu said the sport isthe same in both countries, butschool in Oberlin is very different.
Duygu’s school had uniforms,and students there can’t choose theclasses they want to take. She alsosaid the education system in Turkeyis very hard. Students in that coun-try train for the university they aregoing to attend, Duygu explained.At the end of high school they arerequired to take a university exam
and to prepare for this they go tocourses after school from 5 p.m. to8 p.m.
The food in Turkey is pretty muchthe same as ours, she said. Duygulikes eating vegetables and meat inTurkey, but here we cook the meatand prepare the vegetables differ-ently.
She likes American food a lot,though. “My house mom is a verygood cook,” Duygu said.
In her spare time, Duygu likes tohang out with her friends. She saidthat her hometown is very crowded,and much, much bigger than Ober-lin.
Duygu has adjusted to our schooland fits in well. The girls at schoolare very curious about her cultureand are constantly asking her ques-tions. But she said it doesn’t botherher because after they get throughasking her questions, she asks themabout their culture.
Duygu is planning to attendAnatolion University in Turkey.There she hopes to major in com-mercial advertising and public rela-tions.
