Junior high students, attending a writing workshop by freelance writer and Beacon News correspondent Linda Schweitzer at the Oswego Public Library, questioned the news staff about job, personal interests and advice for beginning writers.

"Be professional and polite," Schweitzer told the students."Introduce yourself, state the reason for your call, and ask if they would care to answer some questions."

"Once you've asked your questions, be sure to listen carefully to the answers," she said.
