The Georgetown library kicked off its Summer
Reading Program on Wednesday with the Read
Across Texas Round -up party at Chatauqua Park.
Despite the threatening sky, a good time was had by
r
all,and thankfully the rain held off.
"I truly enjoyed seeing so many faces, both familiar
and new, said Rosa Garcia, director of the library's
children's programs. "It was such a joy, and I really
_ hope that kids will make the connection between the <
library, books, and fun, because that is the perfect
%. -; ` `` y • • `: K combination for a relaxed, productive and memorable`
`or
< ' _k summer.
f ' , "And of course we couldn't have done it without all
the help from our wonderful volunteers."
le
' Joe McDermott was the main attraction, providing
his signature sound and lots of laughs. Parents and
kids alike enjoyed such songs as "My Family Car is a
- - `"' "� •», z = Helicopter" and "Don't Drop A Brick on Your Foot," .
.,;s i all punctuated with Mt McDermott's bantering with .
the kids in the audience.
'NeMatt Wilkie was on hand from Kelly's Kids to give
roping lessons to all the little aspiring cowboys and "
7 cowgirls, while his sister Amy provided rides on a big
bay horse named Easy.
For those too small to climb onto Easy, miniature
`,u. - _ ._• ' w.., KY °' �;.pony rides were also offered by Takota's Ponies.

BONZO CRUNCH the Clown makes a balloon horse for the children at the library's end-of-
summer
nd-ofsummer party to celebrate the reading program. Bonzo said he is a graduate of the Ringling
Brothers Clown College.
BEYOND BOOKS
'To the Library and Beyond! " the Georgetown library's summer reading program was a
complete success with more kids than ever signing up to read books during the summer
months, and even more attending the regular, weekly events at the library.
The library and others hosted a Grand Finale Party Friday at the community center in San
Gabriel Park. Children enjoyed games, bouncing on a parachute, refreshments and more.
Much of the support for the summer reading program came from the Assistance League of
the Georgetown Area. The group underwrote the June kick-off performance by Joe Scruggs,
the internationally known musician of children's music. The league also sponsored Friday's
concert by Joe McDermott and the Bonzo Crunch act.

4B Williamson County Sun, July 11, 2001
Lights, camera and collectibles: Big screen
stars shinefor'movie me►norabilici collectors
I first began visiting Austin's
-monthly collectibles market, better
known as City Wide Garage Sale,
close to 15 years ago.
The first time I walked into the City
Coliseum to take in the show, my eyes
were drawn to row upon row of old
i movie posters lining one of the
i bleacher spaces up front.
If you visit City Wide most any
month, you've got a good chance at
finding a similar display of posters to
greet you as well.
Once you begin looking around, as
with most large antique malls and flea
market style shows, you'll find a host
t of other movie mementos to go right
along with them.
Luckily, for collectors just starting
to notice movie memorabilia, the
Collector's Compass series of books
just released Movie Collectibles, pub-
lished by Martingale & Company.
This book, written by a panel of
bInternational Soctpty of Appraisers
experts, covers a good variety of
movie items including posters, stills,
glass slides, toys, kitsch and ephem-
era.
"The movie thentPr was a place you
could escape to and forget the trials
and tribulations of growing up,"
states the book with fond remem-
COLLECTION
CONNECTION
by Pamela Wiggins ,
brance. '
Now, those some children who sat
in darkened theaters on Saturday
afternoons munching popcorn and
eating Milk Duds seek out all the
collectibles associated with favorite
movies made 25 or even 50 years ago.
It's not all about expensive posters,
however. Favorite contemporary
movies offer action figures and other
novelty items available in retail out-
lets for less ambitious collectors,
including children.
However, there's a little extra trea-
sure -hunting boost that conies with
combing garage sales and flea mar-
kets searching for a few items
featuring the stars of favorite movie.
In fact, some movies spark such an
interest that whole collections are
built around them. 'fake "Gone with
the Wind," "The Wizard of Oz" and
"Star Wars." All these movies have
legions of fans eagerly seeking some-
thing new and exciting to add to a
collection. This includes vintage and
more modern finds. -
Of course, many movie stars them-
selves garner lots of attention from
enthusiastic collectors. Take pop cul-
ture icons Elivs, Marilyn and James
Dean for example.
Most anything vintage that bears
their likeness will bring in a few ex-
tra bucks for the seller.
Everything from a pin back button
to a movie magazine featuring a fa-
vorite star can hold at least a little
value. And these items don't neces-
sarily have to feature such big name
stars either.
A fan of Carmen Miranda would
relish finding an old movie still just
as much as the Elvis collector, only
hers might not cost quite as much.
But don't expect cartoon stars to be
less expensive:
Unless it's a fairly unpopular car-
toon movie, that's not necessarily
true. Fans of various Disney flicks
ferret out collectibles constantly and
will often pay big bucks to own rare
items. Older toys featuring Steamboat
Willie, the forerunner to Mickey
Mouse, often sell for hundreds if not
thousands of dollars now days.
When looking for movie memora-
:Boer ,goat enthusiasts participate in
hilia to add to your own collection,
try to focus on what you like. Buy
things you'll enjoy owning and dis-
playing in your home.
These items make a great addition
to a media room or game room, by
the way.
But, always go for quality rather
than quantity when you can. Look for
Items in excellent to pristine condi-
tion, since they'll hold their value
much better in the long run.
And consider picking up a copy of
Movie Collectibles the next time you're
shopping around in a major book-
store. It's worth the effort just for the
wonderful pictures of familiar movie
posters, including a nice color spread,
hidden within the pages.
If you actually take the time to read
this introductory guide, or a similar
title on the topic, you'll learn lots
more about a very interesting collect-
ing genre.
It's one sure to grow in popularity
as more and more fans discover the
movies and stars of yesteryear.

Reading program finale rewards precocious page. ftirners
By ERIN SHERBERT
Leven -year-old Collin Clay joined the
Georgetown summer reading pro-
gram when he was two, and at the
same time he started reading to his own
pre-school class.
And because he was influenced by the
reading program at such an early age, now
he is more than comfortable picking up
700 -paged books and racing through them
in four days.
"I read 20 junior fiction books this
summer, which were each 300 pages long,"
Collin said. "I've been in the reading
program for as•long ,as,I can remember, .. '-
Collin was one of the approximately 200
kids who participated in the annual
Georgetown Public Library summer
reading program, and one of the estimated
250 people who attended the program's
grand finale family event last Thursday
evening at Chatauqua Park.
Out of the thousands of pages Collin read
this summer, the new Harry Potter book
was on the top of his list.
"The Harry Potter series is definitely my
favorite," he said. "But I just like reading,
really, just to sit back, relax and read."
- The grand finale carnival event is a fttn
incentive to move through those pages, he
added.
"At first I was an OK reader, but when
you read a lot it makes you a faster
reader," he said. "I'll keep it up and read
everything even though the program is
over." .
The event honored the hard-working
readers with carnival games, special prizes,
reading certificates, food and live music
performed by Honky Tonk Heart. The
picnic was sponsored by the Assistance
League of Georgetown Area. The special
prizes included a bicycle and a $100 savings
bond.
The little incentives the program offers
helps get kids reading, said Collin's
mother, Robyn Clay, as she handed out
balloons for the water balloon toss.
She added that Collin has his own web
site, where he critiques and discusses
books he has read.
"The program stimulates more and more
readers and socializes them, I mean look at
all these events," Ms. Clay said. "It's
evolved and gotten bigger and bigger and
now the only problem is we don't have
enough room."
Kids and parents spent two hot hours
wandering from the face painting booth to
the moonwalk and then straight to the
cotton candy stand, where the line never
came to an end. The younger ones stayed
close to their parents on the playgtvunc4-* r�
where kids took turns on the slide, and tied
colored balloons to their wrists.
After the hot dogs were served and the
sun started going down, Honky Tonk Heart
plugged in their guitars and mics for a set
of country tunes.
The kids who had read the most books
received certificates and stuffed animals.
The best "easy reader" award went to 8
year-old Abbey Pennington, who completed
125 books, and said she couldn't decide
which was her favorite.
"I liked all the books," she said. "And all
the activities."
Her mother, Sherry Pennington, said
Abbey has been attending the reading
program for five years, and that the soon-
to-be third grader can already read well
above a fourth grade level.
"Of course the program improves their
self esteem and grades," Mrs. Pennington
said, adding that when the children go
back to school their new skills show up in
standardized test scores. "It expands their
interests because of the variety they get
from the program, and that makes them
love reading and that's important."
Chris Logue, father of 7 -year-old
Courtney and 5 -year-old Christiana Logue,
said he has been sending his daughters to
the program since they were babies, noting
that the earlier kids get started reading, the
more they will be able to learn.
"I always told them if they learn how to
read, then they can do anything," he said,
adding that his first grader is already
reading at a third grade level.
The summer reading program is formed
through the Central Texas Library system,
and this year gave kids a chance to read as
many books as possible 1%om June 1 to July 27.
In effort to advance young readers, each
child was required to read or have 10 or
more books read to them The kids kept
track of the number of books they read
with a reading log, and for every five books
read, they were rewarded with their name
on the wall.
The program's activities included special
events such as a magician, storybook
theatre, a zoo show and a ventriloquist,
and ended with the grand (male family
night in the park.
Rosa Garcia, children's services coordi-
nator for the Georgetown Public Library,
said the purpose of the program is to keep
kids learning during the summer while
entertaining them
"The event was to celebrate reading,"
Ms. Garcia said. "I wanted to do something
big so the kids remember it and keep on
reading. We just hope they become library
users for life and develop a love for books."
COTTON CANDY, above, is as messy
to make as it is to eat Grant Halydier,
14; volunteered to run the machine,
but didn't know what he was getting
himself into. He had more of the
sticky pink stuff in his hair, on his
shirt and around his watch than he
managed to get on the paper cones
for hungry people waiting in line. He
never gave up or asked for help,
though.
The little readers had plenty of fun
things to do at the picnic, left There
were swings, slides and jungle gyms
in the park, along with one of those
moonwalk air-filled bouncy things, and
hot dogs, chips, cookies and Sno
Cones to eat if you didn't think you'd
get too sick jumping up and down.

Young ladies take tea
Library hosts fourth annual tea party
From toddlers to little girls, young ladies were
dolled up in their finest hats and dresses for a
March 16 tea party held at the Georgetown Public
Library.
About 90 parents and children attended the tea
party, which has become an annual affair.
Entertainment included a talent show and chil-
dren's music played by Arte Musique, a trio of
clarinet, flute and piano players.
The main attraction, of course, was "tea," or in
this case punch, and sweet treats. Seated at tables
decorated with tiny hat stands and pastel orna-
ments, the girls alternated between ladylike deco-
rum and a child's usual abandon, while parents
recorded the scene on cameras.
Above, four -year-olds Hadley Ullmann and
Sarah Walker and three-year-old Catherine
Dietlein seem to have worked up an appetite get-
ting dressed to the nines for the party. Two-year-
old Mary Buchanan, right, sported her own ver- '
sion of a teatime hat but didn't quite have the
energy to last through the entire party.
Some children arrived at the tea party by
horsedrawn carriage, which picked them up at
the Square and delivered them to the library.
This free event is so successful that parents
and children alike look forward to its arrival
each year, said Georgetown Public Library
Director Eric Lashley. Volunteers provided finger
sandwiches and cookies, while Chris and Rachel
Logue donated their china for the day, as they
have done in years past.

Time for Tiles

a small group of family members that included her
daughter, 011ie Crozier, 4. The Georgetown Library
Foundation hosted its first "kid -centered" fund-rais-
ing project. Children were invited to come to the
library and paint a four -inch -by -four -inch ceramic
tile to be used eventually to decorate a new library.
Each tile costs $12 and artists from Glaze and Fire
studio were on hand to help children paint and
design. The foundation will sponsor another tile -
painting session on March 15, a Monday, the first day
of spring break, from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

and sweet treats may have been too much for Lily, while Sara looks a wee bit
tired and Brittany is still going strong. About 90 children, dressed to the nines,
attended the annual event. 1beF?q p9

~Concluding another, successful summer, library anticipates fall programs
LIBRARY
NEWS
by Judy Fabry
The vibrant sounds of marimba
music and a dance contest with lots
of energetic winners wound up this
summer's reading program. Pizza
from Papa John's, ice cream from
Shake's, cake from Central Market,
drinks and ice from McDonald's,
and nachos fortified the active
crowd.
Rosa Garcia, children's services
coordinator, awarded prizes of tro-
phies and $25 gift certificates from
Hill Country Bookstore to the sum-
mer's Star Readers: Colton Bostick,
who read for the most minutes;
John Gonzales, who read the most
books; and Jacob Barker, who lis-
tened to the most books.
Anyone who turned in a complet-
ed reading log was eligible for the
drawings for the grand prizes. The
winners of the $100 savings bonds
donated by First Texas Bank were
Allison Young (fifth grade at
Williams), Noah Henry (kinder-
garten at Annie Purl) and Rebekkah
Sheridan (second grade, home -
schooled). The winner of the $50
gift card donated by Wal-Mart was
Chloe Reeve (fifth grade, Cooper).
We can never mention too often
the groups that provide absolutely
essential financial support to the
summer reading program. The
library's city budget can't begin to
cover the cost of the performers Ms.
Garcia engages, the food she serves
and the supplies required for the
craft programs.
Georgetown is fortunate to have
organizations and individuals that
give generously, year after year, to
support the library's children's pro-
grams.
This year the Friends of the
Georgetown Library contributed
$2,000, the Georgetown Library
Foundation and the Sun City
Kiwanis Club each donated $1,000,
Kelly Clayman donated $100, and
the Georgetown Optimist Club
donated $100.
Local businesses that donate"
coupons, gifts and merchandise
also play an important role in sup-
porting the summer reading pra_. _,
gram. For their, generosity . we
thank Central Market, Daylight
Donuts, Gatti -land, McDonald's,
Papa John's, Pedernales Power
Company, Peter Piper Pizza, Pizza
Hut, Shake's Frozen Custard,
Shipley Do -nuts, Subway and
Whataburger.
Georgetown also has talented
people who are willing to share,
without charge, their considerable
knowledge or skills. Among those
who did so this summer were
■ Mary Beth Huba, who for the
20th year provided weekly story-
telling sessions for the school-age
crowd.
■ Laura Snyder, who returned for'
the sixth year to provide a new craft
project each week.
s Michelle Chambers and Lysa
Saavedra, who presented, the
Creative Life workshop on card -
making.
■ Tonya Pearce, who led the
Creative Life workshop on scrap -
booking.
■ John Miller of Kok Sool Won of
Georgetown, who, with his stu-
dents, gave an exciting display of
the martial arts.
■ The Hein family, who shared
their knowledge of beekeeping with
the children.
■ Bat Conservation International,
whose staff member helped the
children understand bats.
■ The Blankenship family of
Shake's Frozen Custard, who came
to the finale and personally served
more than 300 servings of custard.
Hord, Yvette Navarro, Sadaf, Sarah
and Noreen Rafique, Nicole
Remson, Antoine Sedwick and
Frank Wyatt.
Some ambitious teens worked
with Ms. Garcia all summer long,
helping with registration, moving
shelving, assisting the performers,
doing crowd control, answering
questions and, especially impor-
tant, putting the children's room
back in order after the summer pro-
gram ended.
They included Becky Adams,
Miriele Clifford, Briana Liu, Alex
Martin, Angela Martin, Will
McKinnon, Mitch Mussett, Yvette
Navarro, Morgan Philpott, Ryan
Philpott, Noreen Rafique, Roman
Rodriguez, Meghan Saavedra,
Kirstin Wade and Sarah Williams.
Sarah Rafique, a teen volunteer
whose work during the summer
went above and beyond the call of
duty, won Ms. Garcia's special
thanks.
Staying out of the limelight, but
never far away when their help was
needed, Teresa Bostick, Robyn and
Charys Clay, Julie Faircloth, Susan
Williams, Kathleen Lindsey and
Maggie Aronson provided invalu-
able help throughout the summer.
Ms. Garcia also recognized Kelly
Dupen, who painted the windows of
the children's room, and Tina
Spencer, who stayed at the finale
until well after 7 p.m., painting the
face of every child who wanted to
be painted.,

We also have declared September
Manga Mania Month at the
Georgetown Public Library.
If you have teenagers in your life,
you probably already know what
manga or anime are. If you're as
out of touch with popular culture
as I am, think story -length cartoons
and animated films. Much of this
genre is coming out of Japan, but it
doesn't have to because it has
caught the imaginations of people
of all ages all over the globe.
If you'd like to know more, visit
www.mit.edu/people/rei/Expl.html
for an interesting explanation. (Yes,
that's the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology's Web site. This isn't
Just for teens!)
At the library we call our manga
books graphic novels, and they have
been getting checked out as quickly
as they come back in. Kate Di
Pronio, who selects our young adult
books; has, a special affinity for
teens and has worked hard to pro-
vide some special programs during
September that are related to this
genre.
Author/illustrator Rod Espinosa
from Antarctic Press is coming on
September 10 to discuss how he gets
his ideas and translates them to
paper. He will talk about how to
become a graphic artist and do
some original illustrations for us.
On September 17 we'll be show-
ing an anime DVD called
"Graveyard of the Firefly." And, on
the following Friday, September 24,
David Satterthwaite from River
City Toys will lead the audience in a
role play of "Big Eye, Small
Mouth."
All these programs, which are
open to everyone but are intended
for the 13 to 18 age group, will begin
at 6 p.m. after regular library hours.
Please plan to arrive between 5:30
and 6 p.m., before the library closes.

By KRISTEN MCLAUGHLIN
This summer, children will have
the chance to read, learn and have

music, storytelling and more.
"I was really happy with the
kick-off," said Rosa Garcia, the
library's children's services coordi-
nator. The event, which included a
special concert by Sara Hickman,
attracted close to 1,000 people.
Although "Color Your World" start-

Gltown library
writes the book

By USA SCOTT
ver wonder where an ant hides in the rain?
Apparently a mushroom would make an
excellent umbrella.
In Mirra Ginsburg's book, Mushroom in the Rain, one
little mushroom becomes a roof over the heads of a
butterfly, rabbit, mouse and fox. After things dry up, a
little animal discovers that, what was once a tiny . .
mushroom peeking out from a clearing, has grown into
a comfortable shelter with a little help from Mother
Nature's raindrops.
It is through the pages of a book with a little help
from summer reading programs that a child's mind also
grows.
The Georgetown Public Library will offer the Texas
Reading Program June 1 through July 29. The summer
project is a self -paced reading program with children
keeping track of what they read and earn a certificate
at the end of the summer.
The kickoff party is June 1 at 10:30 a.m. at the
library. Children of all ages and their parents are
invited. The theme this year is "Open a Book; On With
the Show!" About 300 children are expected to attend
the kickoff.
"When some of them first start coming, they don't
even know how to read. It is the most rewarding thing
to see children getting a book to look at and later
getting a book to read," said Rosa Garcia, Children's
Services coordinator for the Georgetown Public
Library. "I want them to have a good positive experi-
ence."
To see the looks on the young faces at Thursday's
storytime, one might think reading a book at the public
library is as entertaining as riding a bike or making
mud pies ... maybe even more f1m. After all, when it
comes to using an imagination, the possibilities are
endless.
"It's not just books," volunteer Robyn Clay said,
referring to storytime. "They have crafts, animals and
clowns."
This summer, the Georgetown Public Library
Children's Summer Reading program will feature
events with Dipsy Daisy the clown at the kickoff party,
The Funky Monkey Puppet Brigade, Aladdin, and Alice
in Wonderland. ,
If children rub a magic lamp and make a wish,
Austin Puppeteer Don Harms will make a musical live
art experience appear for his audiences during Aladdin
and His Magic Lamp. They can also tumble down a
rabbit hole when a fairytaler appears in glittery gowns
and jewels to recreate Alice and Wonderland during
family night.
"I always like to have a special night for parents to
come and have fun with the kids. We put a lot of
emphasis into entertainment for the summer program,"
Ms. Garcia said. "We have more activities. It's bigger
and better."
Those participating in the summer program will
recieve more than a good time. The library provides
incentives throughout the summer. There will also be a
drawing at the end of the summer that includes a bike,
$1oo savings bond, Beanie Babies, books and vendor
coupons which can be redeemed in Georgetown.
RUTH WHORTON, 18 months old, of Georgetown, enjoys her first library trip with her mother Luci Whorton.

Awas a loo at the Georgetown Library Wednes-
day morning. Kids gathered to check out
Michael Hicks' show that told a tale of exotic
animals. The animals left 'thieir :mark at
Georgetown's library, literally.
Pickel, the African bullfrog, got a little nervous
while in front of the kids and released his frog fluids
into the hands of Mr. Hicks, who was holding him.
Luckily, there was disinfectant close by.
Apparently, Pickel does this often during zoo
shows, but it wasn't anything Mr. Hicks hasn't
dealt with before.
Other featured friends included a rock iguana
named Dinosaur, a wallaby, Lapita the parrot,
one sassy kitty and a six-foot python.
"The kitty cat was my favorite, because he was
nice," said Desmond Brook, 5.

Library's summer reading
club -ends with big clown
and talking EMS robot
By PAULA BAKER
A combinatic,n of overcast skies
and excitement filled the air as the
Georgetovm Library's Summer Read-
ing Program celebrated its
culmination at Chautauqua Park
Thursday morning.
Bonzo Crunch the clown greeted
the children _. they entered the park
"Hello, Hedo!" he said. Children
pointed at his oversized shoes and
giggled.
"Wonder U those shoes really fit
him?" one child asked. Dressed in a
red and white striped shirt, brown
vest and red hat, Bonzo Crunch de-
lighted the children with his antics.
Four face -painters sat at a picnic
table, dipping their paintbrushes in
brightly colored paint and drawing
designs on children's faces.
"Don't touch it 'til it dries," Erica
D'Amat<;'s mother told her. Erica, 5,
had just had a flower painted on her
cheek.
"I knew what I was going to get
before I got it." she said. "It feels

Bethany Clendennen,10, had a rain-
"" bow, befitting of the weather, painted
Non one cheek and "AMI" painted on
the other.
Susan Williams, one of the face-
-painters said, "She has aspirations of
becoming a vet"
In a grassy area of the park, chil-
dren sat amazed as they watched
Sparkle, the fairy of Kidstuff Party
Company, perform her magic.
"How many dots on this card?"
Sparkle asked the children. "We are
going to play a 'membering game.
How many dots do you see here?"
"One!" the children yelled in uni-
son.
nison. "How many dots on this side?"
She asked. "Four!" yelled the chorus
of children. "How many on this side
again?" Sparkle asked She turned the
card over and two dots instead of one
magically appeared -
"How'd she do that?" Danielle
Fliehs, 8, asked her dad.
Just then, the rain began to fall. As'
everyone took shelter under the Edna
Powell Picnic Pavilion the children
yelled, "It's raining!"
In the meantime, Mike Kelly, a
paramedic with Williamson County,
showed up with one -year-old Andy,
the miniature EMS robot Andy stole
the show as the children flocked
around him. Using a remote control,
BRIANA MIRANDA, 7, a student at Annie Purl Elementary, was the winner of the $100 savings bond from first Texas Bank that was given at the library's reading cion `
party in the park. Briana is swinging at the Fun Fest with. Megan Higginbotham, 8, a student in private school.
Mr. Kelly was able to make Andy talk,
dance and even wink at the children.
"I teach safety rules to children,"
Andy said "I tzch them how m stay
safe, use the±r seat bels, never moss
the street without an adult or ride a
bike or skateboard without a helmet"
"The kids seem to really like him,"
Mr. Kelly said 'Whey just mob him.
They like him because they can in-
teract with him."
And the children did mob Andy.
They had many questions for -him.
"Are you electric?" Katelyn Miller,
6, asked the robot
"Yes, I am," Andy replied.
"We're people," Katelyn informed.
"Can you dance?" Andy Asked her.
"I can dance, too," he said "Want to
dance?" With that, music began and
he began to dance.
Amanda Dixon, 3, watched Andy
dance and then began to dance with
him and Katelyn
Noreen Rafique, 5, was curious
about Andy's eating habits. "Do yoc
eat?" she asked. "We do."
After the children ate lunch in thE
park, they slowly drifted of, saying t
fond farewell to the Summer Reading
Program until next year.

Summer reading program attracts 800 young readers
AND Tf1E DOG JUMPED OVER THE MOON, ER, POLE,
• - Taylor lone
STEPHEN RODRIGUEZ, 8, holds a pole at Wednesday's library event, while Mako the Belgian malinois shows his tricks.
By JULIE ALLISON
ore than 100 children at
the Georgetown Public
Library laughed and
applauded Wednesday as dogs ran
through tunnels, jumped over poles
and caught Frisbees.
Kim Donnell came from Waggin'
Tails Dog Training In Round Rock
and brought 10 canines, from the
three tiny papillions to two large Bel-
gian malinois that look like German
shepherds. Ms. Donnell explained to
the children how to approach a
strange dog safely and how to take
care of a dog.
Two of the children raised a pole
higher and higher as Mako the Bel.
gian malinois champion jumper leapt
higher and higher.
Four -and -a -half year old Lindsey
Allen watched the tiny papillion.
"They're cute. I like the baby dog the
most," she said.
The dog show was part of the
library's Texas Summer Reading Pro-
gram, which has attracted more
children than ever.
"We have nearly 800 Georgetown
children reading books in the
library's summer reading program
re
Some children have ad over a hun-
dred books this summer," said Rosa
Garcia, the children's librarian.
Jenise Rodriguez, 10, said, "I've
read 353 books this summer. We go to
the library about every other day. I
a Horse.'
Terry Lindsey, a biligual kindergar-
ten teacher at Carver Elementary, is
the mother of a seven-year-old who is
in the reading program.As she re-
turned an armload of about 40 books
Wednesday, she -said, "My son Bobby
just finished reading his 99th book
this summer. We go to the library a
couple �of times a week.,The summer
reading program is great. This library
is great. I love it. It's a lifesaver for
me as a teacher. I live in Jarrell, but
ifs*well worth the $15 yearly fee."
This year's theme was "The Incred-
ible Dream Machine." For every five
books a child reads, he or she adds a
star, moon or planet to the bulletin
board. For every 100 books a child
reads, he or she puts his name on
castle.
"So far, we've had seven children
who have read more than 100 books,'
Ms. Garcia said. "And there's more
reaching that goal every week."
Children who have read more
s 100 books are Mary Bacelis, Ernest
Garza, Alyson Youngpeter, Jenice
Rodriguez, Katherine Davidson, Sh-
annon Beardon and Stephen
Rodriguez.
"I've read 136 books so far. I like
the Nancy Drew mysteries, The Face
on the Milk Carton and Whatever
Happened to Janie? We go to the li.
brary at least once a week. I'm reading
the Red Wall series. It's a fantasy
story about mice, weasels and rodents
who are in an abbey and they help
travelers," said Mary Bacelis, 11.
Mary's mother, Rocio Bacelis, said,
"I read to her a lot when she was little,
especially the Little Golden Books."
Public services librarian Eric
Lashley said the library has been
checking in or out about 1,200 books
a day this summer and 70 percent are
from children in the reading program.
Joseph Rothenberg, 7, has read
more than 60 books this summer. He
said his favorite books were the Dr.
Seuss books, especially Fox in Socks,
The Sleep Book, Green Eggs and Ham
and The Cat in the Hat.
"I like reading mystery books, es.
pecially The Boxcar Children. I like
reading because it is more entertain-
ing than watching TV. I like reading
so much that I read 404 books (6,000
pages) in the summer reading pro.
gram," said Alyson Youngpeter, 10.
Sara Beth Torrance, 6, likes the
Hank the Cowdog books.
Her brother, Stephen Torrance, 9,
said, "I read The Complete Book of
luau "VC uanaw WL 1101 VVVAI Ulu Aa1LL,
"I like Horses and Ponies."
Her brother, sixth grader Josh
Berger, said, "I like A Father's Prom-
ise, which was about World War II. I
also like the Hardy Boys books,
Garfield, Star Wars and Hank the
Cowdog books." '
Warren Williams, 6, has read many
books about tiger sharks, --hammer-
head sharks and great white sharks.
He's read so much, he's become a
young shark expert.
"If you are near a shark you should
be still and not make any loud Poises.
If your hand is bleeding, you should
keep it out of the water, and don't
forget to bring this piece of paper with
a you to remind you of what to do," he
said, referring to the reporter's note-
book.
has stories, finger plays, songs and
crafts for three -year-olds and older.
The summer reading program cel -

juggling.

The audience of excited children
of all ages whispered softly, await-
ing the start of the Georgetown Li-
brary Book Club's end -of -summer
party.
The crowd of more than 500
bright-eyed children and their
grownups turned out July 28 at San
Gabriel Community Center for the
culmination of a summer's worth
of reading library books and attend-
ing weekly programs. The events
were coordinated by children's li-
brarian Rosa Garcia.
Evan Jones, 2, who attended the
party with his sister, Cherilyn, 5,
and mother, Mariann Jones, was
having plenty of fun at the event —
and that was before he won the
grand prize in a drawing. He won a
bicycle donated by Wal-Mart.
Jennifer Garza, 11, was honored
for being the most prolific reader.
She earned a special certificate,
first -prize gold medal and $100 sav-
ings bond from First Texas Bank
for reading 460 books.
Christopher Gilliam, a Commu-
nity Montessori School third -
grader, received the silver second -
place prize and a certificate for
reading 260 books this summer.
The Davidson family, including
Jottings
MANDY ROTHENBERG
Nita and her two children,
Catherine, 7, and Alisa Beth, 8, gar-
nered a first -prize gold medal and
certificate for Family Read -To-
gether, having read 324 books to
each other.
Awards also were presented to
special library volunteers such as
Michelle Crider, the Super Volun-
teer of the Year, and Lorenzo
Dominguez, Seth Miles, Alex Miles
and Eva Carta.
After a few impromptu songs,
such as "If You're Happy and You
Know It," storyteller Mary Beth
Huba entertained the audience of
readers with a group activity called
"Going on A Bear Hunt."
Suddenly, magician Rodney
Rash rolled in his props, and the
show began. Rash explained that
the crowd was to moan "awww"
when he would say, "And that's the
end of this trick." But when he'd
exclaim, "But wait! I have an-
other," the crowd was to cheer.
The captivated audience closely
watched the cleverly concealed
tricks, amazed at Rash's smooth
actions. Rash said he learned his
skills in library books.
The Sunshine Generation, a
group of singing and dancing
youngsters, entertained the audi-
ence with several songs, accompa-
nied by dancing, such as "Splish,
Splash," and "Skitamarinky-dinky-
dink."
Finally, the audience was treated
to pizza, cookies and soft drinks,
while the winners of the drawing
for the grand prize and other prizes
were announced. The names of all
children who completed reading
lists for Georgetown Public
Library's Reading Program were
entered in the drawing.
Mariann Jones, mother of the
youngster who won grand prize in
the drawing, expressed apprecia-
tion for the library's efforts.
"I think (the book club) is a won-
derful idea," Jones said. "It gives
kids a really good activity for the
summer. I really appreciate all of
the work the library book club puts
into it, and I appreciate the gener-
osity of the local sponsors."
Mandy Rothenberg will be an
eighth -grader this year at
Georgetown Junior High School.

SUN CITY SMILE
Publicist serves as bridge to community
f Sun city Georgetown were not
just for senior citizens ages 55
and older, Connie Watson said
she would be a resident.
Watson, 30, manager of public
relations for the 9,500 -home
project being built northwest of
town, said the Sun City lifestyle is easy to
promote.
"I would love to find something like it now,"
said Watson, who works in the Sun City
Georgetown office "To have a recreation cen-
ter nearby that offered so many activities
would be great. Sun City offers so much for
its residents."
We believe in being a good community
member, and we believe in donating to
things that will help children in the city,
which is important to the city and
important to the corporation.'

Continued from lA
best because the lion tried to go to
sleep but he couldn't because the
little mouse was sneezing!" said
reading program participant
Mary Crider, 6, an Annie Purl
Elementary School first -grader.
Shaver's show also included a
special appearance by a life-sized
Aesop himself.
The audience's attention then
was turned to professional ven-
triloquist Jim Dickson and
"Johnny B," his dummy.
Johnny B and Dickson, in an
amusing way, tried to stress the
importance of reading and edu-
cation. However, Johnny B
seemed to be interested only in
girls and daydreaming.
After the entertainment, the
audience enjoyed pizza, cookies
and soft drinks. While they
munched on their food, the sum-
mer reading program winners

FUNNY MEN: Ventriloquist Jim Dickson chats with his dummy, John B., during the summer reading program at the Georgetown Community Center.
Program readers enjoy end -of -summer bash
By Mandy Rothenberg
The audience of excited chil.
dren of all ages whispered softly,
awaiting the start of the
Georgetown Library Book Club's
end -of -summer party.
But as the show Thursday in
the San Gabriel Community Cen-
ter got under way, the whisper-
ing turned to laughter and song.
A crowd of about 150 bright -
eyed children and parents turned
out for the culmination of a
summer's worth of reading li-
brary books and attending
weekly programs coordinated by
librarian Rosa Garcia.
The end of the summer read-
ing program included a puppet
show, a ventriloquist, snacks and
prizes.
The show started with some
impromptu singing while puppe-
teer Mary Shaver attended to
some last-minute details. Volun-
teers from the audience led the
crowd in singing "London
Bridge" and "The Mighty
Jungle."
Then Shaver and tier little
witch marionette took over, start-
ing with an explanation of how
the puppet operated, with differ-
ent -colored strings controlling
certain body movements.
The lights were turned off, and
the music started, with Shaver
performing the first of her
Aesop's fables, "The Mouse and
the Lion King." The humorous
characters often made the audi-
ence laugh.

Library festivities
make reading fun
By Melanie E. Bryce
Sun Staff Writer
Georgetown Public Library
marked the beginning of a fun -filled
summer for kids at a wild and crazy
party Friday morning.
Clowns, puppets, a rabbit,
McGruff the crime dog, volunteers
and at least 100 children cavorted
through the library, while keeping to
the main point: the kids pledged to
spend time reading this summer.
"The summer reading program
tries to keep kids interested in read-
ing while at the same time having
fun," children's librarian Rosa Gar-
cia said.
"Anybody is welcome at any time
to register with the program — they
don't even have to have a library
card."
Volunteers meet at the library
every Thursday morning at 10:30 to
offer activities to book -hungry chil-
dren.
"We do stories and craft, such as
decorating a T-shirt, and we have a
little bit of music," Garcia said.
Books For All
From getting their faces painted to
having autographs signed by Vince
and Larry the crash dummies, Geor-
getown kids were serious about hav-
ing a good time at the festivities co-
sponsored by H.E.B. and
McDonald's.
"I came today to look at books and
check them out," six-year-old Eric
Purcell said. "I just like to read."
"We came here because we
wanted to get some library card&and
books and we wanted to see our
friends," Kera Tuten, 7, said.
"I came for the fun outside and to
be able to come inside the library to
read," 10 -year-old Carlos Vasquez
said. "There's a lot of interesting
things in different books and I like to
read."
Debbie Mathis of Georgetown reads to her five-year-old daughter
Lauryn at the beginning of the summer reading program Friday. The
program continues through July 29.
While children were being enter-
tained and educated by silly charac-
ters on the art of reading and the im-
portance of summer safety, parents
were happy with the interest in read-
ing expressed by their kids.
Parents Love It
"I want them to be able to do some
more summer reading, " Debbie
Mathis said of her five-year-old
daughter, Lauryn, and her two-year-
old son, Bradley.
"I read to them at home all the
time, and I want them.to have more
appreciation for reading instead of
just watching cartoons."
The program began Friday and
will run through July 29, when there
will be a giant bash at the Geor-
getown Community Center at 10
a.m.
On that morning, the libimy'will
sponsor a showing of The Wizard of
Oz performed by marionettes and a
prize drawing will be held for chil-
dren registered with the program.
Wal-Mart is donating a bicycle, and
both Nations Bank and First Texas
State Bank are donating savings
bonds.
"This is something that we do
every year," Garcia said. "We want
the children to come to the library.
And we want them to feel like the
librarians and the books are their
very best friends."
