Construction crews- - are racing, teachers are biting their nails, and amid the confusion Principal Jeannine Crabtree sits calmly. What Im being told is that the school will be ready. The exterior will definitely be ready. The classrooms will be ready. The media center may not be all the way done, but it will be close. Well be ready, says Crabtree. Crabtree is talking about the major remodeling project going on at her school. West Point Elementary. West Point is an aging school and had problems plaguing four classrooms in the oldest part of the building. Problems like a steam pipe under the floor that occasionally would let steam escape into classrooms, making them moist and muggy. Hollow, creaky floors. And old windows that would stick shut and even when pried open, would only raise 4 inches. But no more. Since February West Point Elementary has been under reconstruction. Teachers and students moved from the four oldest classrooms into portable classrooms. Demolition crews removed the four classrooms and construction crews began building with him.

The people out here working are doing a great job, and construction is going quickly.

The stage is to the right of the fair entrance at the FairPark, 151 S. 1100 West. Her performance is one of some 15 free concerts at the fair, which runs Wednesday through Saturday. However, there is a $2 charge for concerts and an admission charge of $5 for adults and $2.50 for children for the rodeo. Lyn, who had performed frequently as a dancer and defines herself as a natural ham," sang publicly for the first time 12 years ago at a Miss Sunset pageant, where she won the pageants talent competipre-rod- tion. After nearly 12 years of dancpering, that was my first formance as a singer, Lyn said. Surprisingly, by accident, my dream of becoming a country western artist was quickly being realon-sta- ized. grade Cristina Coronado, daughter of Gregorio and Paula Coronado of Layton, has been named to the deans list at the University of Notre Dame for outstanding scholarship during the spring semester. The deans list is comprised of a select group of students who have succeeded in maintaining a scholastic average of 3.4 and above during the past semester. Coronado, a 1993 graduate of Layton High School, will be a senior in the University's College of Arts and Letters, majoring in government. . . . Since that time, Lyn has won a host of other talent competitions and has been featured regularly at local county fairs as well as the Utah State Fair. She has recorded four cassette tapes which she sells at several dozen public and private performances each year. All this, without any vocal lessons, as she likes to keep her sound natural. Lyn said she has a natural country twang, but she will admit to taking some lessons on proper breathing techniques. Lyn said she was surprised to find out how supportive people in Utah are of country artists. She has been able to rely mostly on her talents for success, as she hasn't always known much about the local entertainment business. The singer likes to perform popular songs as well as two of her own composed by a local writer.
