Rickey Carter 8 and Jeffrey Lowe 9 both of Dallas: and Jessica Zucha 7 and Becky Swonke 9 both of Houston All of the children enjoyed acting with Duncan "The kids called her 'Mom' Parker said "She was absolutely delightful to work with" Now Leah is involved in filming three more sing-along musical videos of Barney and the Gang The star of the show is the friendly purple dinosaur Barney whose video voice is done by David Voss Barney Leah said being in the spotlight doesn't bother her "I don't get nervous because I like all the people I work with" she said She prepares herself by looking over the script but doesn't have to memorize a lot of lines "It's sort of ad-libbing" she said "They tell us what to do" "She's one of the most professional performers we've worked with" Barney said of Leah "She's a wonderful child actor to have on the set You can count on her to get things on the first take" The youngsters worked on the first video during February weekends They worked on the second Barney and Camping Out during spring break The third Barney in Mother Goose Land will be filmed as soon as school is out the three should be on the market in late June Leach said The set looked almost like fairyland last week while filming the second part of the series The brightly lit colorful outdoor setting contained a pond with lily pads surrounded by flowers an Oriental bridge trees and a mysterious cave where a "sleeping bear" lived While the segment in which Barney and the children find the bear's cave was filmed not a complaint was heard as the children had to do the same scene over and over at least I 0 times "They are very professional" Leach said To produce each video it takes about six weeks which includes two days of rehearsal five days of actual filming plus pre-production and post-production work Leach said The first three-volume video set The Backyard Show Three Wishes and A Day at the Beach has sold extremely well "Over 150000 units have been sold in the last year and a half" Parker said "We've surpassed a gold as there are 25000 units in a gold for a non-theatrical release in the ITA International Trade Association" The first series won honors including The Parents' Choice Award from a foundation in Boston whose advisory board includes literary specialists and other well-known people including Barbara Bush and Julie Andrews It also was nominated for the American Film Institute Conference Award and has been mentioned in magazines and television programs including TV Guide Redbook and Entertainment Tonight The series is produced under the Kids

everyone on 'She wanted to see this community grow in the right manner" he said "She's a good person and I hate to see her go" Bowling said that her concern for development in this city of 13000 was sparked by her concern for the children "I've always worked with children until I got involved in city politics and then I was working for them" said Bowling who at different times had been a Girl Scout counselor substitute teacher and school bus driver After moving to Keller from Houston 13 years ago Bowling joined the soccer association She later joined the parks and recreation board in 1984 and ultimately the Planning and Zoning Commission in 1986 "She has been an inspiration to me" AIDS 13 Alto SPECIALIST 5' 1 I 0 -41501 OUND 4 EACH SE CALL: 114410 10000 2ct 1 Dog ght Jv 3 or AIDS ffeut

McMurray vice chairman of the commission also expressed regret at Bowling's resignation "I'm extremely sorry to see her go she was a real asset to the city" he said "She knows more about the way this city works than anyone does" The council presented Bowling with a certificate of appreciation for her work and wished her well in Philadelphia One council member Gene Stockton playfully refused to accept her resignation "What if we don't accept it? I guess you'll just have to stay" he said Council members said they will look into a replacement for Bowling "in the near future" Offices are located at: 807 Forest Ridge Suite 100 Bedford Texas 76022 News: 685-2307 Advertising: 685-2300 0 NAMEPLATES 1 Machine Stamped tlie 0 la 1 Made 4 Nylon Show Leod nke ore id Yy 0 EI 4 Nylon Show Ceo'cl 1 t3- Pk Ig 14 PONE NUMBER While You Wait Debbie From entered his 5-year-old daughter in a kiddie beauty pageant Debbie swept all three trophies including the one for most talented On the advice of a media professional Cynthia Slaboda registered her daughter with the Kim Dawson Agency in Dallas Soon afterwards Debbie appeared in her first commercial for McDonald's When Universal Studios conducted a nationwide search for an actress to play the part of the tough-talking waif for its Western pilot Longarm Debbie was among the finalists After numerous call-backs in Dallas and Hollywood she got the part One look at Debbie's demo tapes makes it easy to understand what Hollywood producers see in the brown-eyed teen She comes across like a young Meryl Streep with the chutzpah of Tatum O'Neal Lest one think however that TV and movies are all glitz and glamour consider a typical day on a studio set for Debbie She must report to the studio at 5 am go for makeup hairstyling and costuming study any last-minute changes in the script then go to school Go to school?
