If you feel you need some help with managing those crucial morning hours, the following suggestions should help you avoid the rush: Start going to bed earlier. It may take your body a few weeks to adapt to retiring earlier, but in the long run it will be easier for you to rise at an earlier time. Place all items you carry to work and your children carry to school in one familiar place. It's a good idea to place near the door your keys, briefcase, purse, school supplies, important papers or letters to be mailed. You may even want to install small lockers in your garage for easy access. Keep petty cash on hand for bus fare, school lunch needs, the parking meter, work breaks, etc. Lay out clothing choices (in the evening) for the next day. Morning dressing becomes hassle-free if preparations are made the night before, such as pressing or sewing on a button. This also scramble prevents the of nothing to wear. Pull yourself from your pillow at least 1 12 hours prior to leaving for work. A few more minutes added to your morning preparation time can prevent frantic dressing, no breakfast and forgotten tasks that need to be done before leasing for work.

The four new classes key in on such areas as beginning theater, musical theater, directing and a unique class, Just for Girls." It's time to add these kinds of classes," said Jo Ann Callahan, performing arts committee chairwoman and teacher of the four courses. We have so many children and youth trying out for our plays and there are so many who don't make the cast that we felt we needed to do something. This is an opportunity to give Farmington's many gifted children more opportunities. We want to help these youth hone in on their skills and give them preparation to move up a level," said Callahan. The Beginning Theater class is not an acting class, said Callahan, who has been involved in all aspects of the theater for more than 25 years. It is designed to give you a basic understanding of theater, costume, makeup, set design, stage direction and blocking. We hope youth who take this class will not only become good directors, but better consumers of Live theater and the media. Registration for Beginning Theater runs through Sept. 1 1. The class is open to youths ages 7 to 15. Classes begin Sept. 16 at 4 p.m. and run for 12 weeks. Cost is $12 per month or $36 for the entire session. Classes will be taught by Callahan at the Farmington City Pool lobby. I'm very excited about the Young Directors class. This is a class for older youth, ages 13 to 19, who have perhaps been in plays before and want to learn what makes a good director and how to direct a play, she said. They will leant everything from concept to completion of a play. We hope to involve them in the direction of the childrens theater in the spring. This is an opportunity to direct youth in all aspects of the theater," she said. Direction of a play is actually done in the mind first, before you ever start putting the play together and even before any auditions," said Callahan. Registration runs through Sept. II. Gasses are for 12 weeks and are taught by Callahan in the F armington City Pool lobby and begin on Sept. 14 at 3 p.m. Cost is $15 a month or $45 for the entire session. The Musical Theater class is designed to help children feel good about themselves by learning to listen to music, project their voice, sing solos, and perhaps participate in a little bit of part singing, said Callahan. We are also going to take the giant leap and learn how to sing and move at the same See ARTSr'8 Salsa Brava to perform at Layton Concert in the Park orchestra aims to bridge many 11-pie- different cultures By RUTH MALAN Standafd Examiner correspondent LAYTON - Salsa Brava will be performing for the Layton Arts and Humanities Council's free Concert in the Park at 7.30 pm.
