The Wintermann Library is pleas- ed to have Julian Franklin, a magi- cian, present the Summer Reading Program Wednesday, June 12, at 2:30 p.m. for all ages. The program is en- titled "Julian Franklin's Wild West

Bible Verse of the Week "To love is a command of God." John 15:12-15

Submitted by Neddy Phillips

Reading Show". Franklin is an Educational Enter-

tainment Specialist who uses magic, puppetry, comedy and storytelling to bring Texas History to life.

The adventure begins when David Hopperfield, a magic bunny, is acci- dentally transported back in time. Only by unlocking the secrets of the library will the audience be able to save the bunny.

The children will laugh at the an- tics of Pedro the Spanish Rat (a pup- pet), and will be amazed as David Hopperfield the magic bunny "disap- pears" from the "time machine" and suddenly appears in an old photo- graph. They will remember helping to draw the faces of historical figures in Texas history like Sam Houston, Davy Crockett, Santa Anna and the notorious pirate Jean Laffite. They will really remember when their drawings come to life and begin talk- ing to them with voices from the past.

Make sure your child doesn't miss out on this fun-filled program full of good times, laughs, smiles, storytell- ing, puppetry, magic and educational entertainment.

There will be an information session at the j.W. Marriott (5150 Westheimer, Houston) Monday, June IOth at 7:30PM. Come and learn about curriculum, campus life and admissions for the upcoming Fall 2002-2003 enrollment. PUBLIC INVITED

ABOUT TOWN..

•The Dean's List for the 2002 Spring semester has been announced at San Angelo University. Among the honorees was Lai nee Renee Labay of Eagle Lake taking interdisciplinary studies. To be eligible for the Dean's List, students must be enrolled full- time and maintain a 3.25 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.

•The Chamber of Commerce would like to thank Bill Kell for his continued support of Eagle Lake and its organizations. Mr. Kell's gener- ous offer to permit the Chamber to erect the "Welcome to Eagle Lake" sign on his property is a great show of support of the community. Contri- butions like Mr. Kell's keep this com- munity going. Thank you, Mr. Kell!

•It has been reported by a long- time resident of this area that people are eating and drinking in the Lake- side Cemetery, then leaving the trash for others to pick up.

First of all, it is a CEMETERY, not a park! Second, wasn't everyone taught to pick up after themselves in kindergarten?

Please, have a little respect for those buried there and their families!
