Theater gives youths chance to excel By SUSAN TANNER HOLMES Standard Examiner correspondent - to produce true need commitment, support. Those three requirements have been pulled together by the Farmington Performing Arts Committee to produce their first annual Youth Theater production. We've been looking for a way to provide something for those youth who havent made the cast of our big summer Callahan, direcproduction, said Jo-Ator and chairwoman of the I armington Performing Arts Committee. Its so disheartening to have to turn down these kids. I know how much courage it tJkes to audition. For the past several years Callahan and others have been looking for ways to involve the 50 to 75 youths between the ages of 9 and 15 who are just a hairbreadth away from making the production. Now, through the support of many, the Youth Theater will present its first production, Krazy Kamp, on March 13,14 and 16. Performances are at the offices, 130 N. Main, and tickets are $2. Youth theater helps Jordan be more outgoing and not inhibited, said Sydna actor. I Brown, mother of the 13- - ear-ol- d think it helps him with his schoolwork and tn band. He has to organize his lime because theater takes a lot of time. This is a great thing to increase The children feel good Farmington about themselves and they're learning to get along with others and support each other, said Jann Leonard, whose daughter Michelle, 10, is in the production. Its an opportunity for kids who dont excel at sports to shine as well. It gives them a peer group and companionship, said Callahan. These are not kids who are going to get into trouble. It teaches them to think on their feet - if they miss a cue they have to do something. Learning, growing and developing is what youth theater is all about. Youth theater, unlike true childrens theater, is designed to have youths participate. True childrens theater is produced by adults for childrens enjoy menL Farmington hasnt had a youth theater program for more than 10 years. The mam thing we want these youths to learn is how to be up on stage in front of an audience and not completely lose their cool, said Callahan. We want them to learn how to speak in public, do characterization, learn to project their voice and understand costuming and props. Farmingtons program is designed to involvje youths in the total learning process and teach them performing skills. In addition, the Performing Arts Committee is working to offer more opportunities and more classes for youths within the city, said Callahan. The program also helps the youths know how to audition for productions in the future. One of the things we After fire is out, none of us likes to the possibility a fire in our homes, it does, unfortunately, happen to many of us. This w inter the Extension Office has received many phone calls asking how to clean household textiles and clothing after a fire. And, sad but true, it doesnt take a very big fire to create quite a cleanup challenge to the Mc-Clo- y, Sometimes school has one way to do of being tested, said Julie Lberhard, mother of the plays leading character. Drama gives kids a different way to excel. It helps them intellectually and emotionally. It helps with learning and applying what you are learning. Children have to focus to learn their parts and to be m the nght place at the right time. It keeps them mentally alert and helps them m everything they do. Acting and being the lead in a production like Krazy Kamp, where you're the things and one way . camp director. Eve Hunicutt, can give you a sense of power, said Maria Eberhard. Its fun being noticed and acting out a certain personality, but it's more fun being just one of the cast than having the lead and all the lines. Krazy Kamp will help many of these youths, ages 8 to 15 to get ready to try out for Farmington's summer production, Singing m the Rain. They will learn the basics and that not all of performing is standing on the stage and saying your lines. They will come to rehearsal many times and never set foot on the stage. Callahans philosophy encourages many to add energy and enthusiasm to their part by helping with the direction. It helps them become hooked on live theater. Children are wonderful because they still have their imagination intact, Callahan said. They can visualize what to do and I like to give them freedom to choose what they want to do. In theater, you are e world. Most adults are in a afraid, but the young are just full of great ideas. My reward is to see the growth that comes to the kids. The Performing Arts Committee is always looking for volunteers to help with production, scenery, staging, costumes, publicity, and working with adults and children.

Main. make-believ- 451-23- Jo-An- heres how to get house cleaned up long have they been in the business? While Fire creates two types of smoke damage - the visible soot and the invisible odor. Each fire is different and poses its own set of cleanup concerns, and, therefore, it is not possible to give just one solution. I or example, smoke odor from wood would react differently to certain cleaning products than smoke odor from plastics , look for most in a youth is whether or not they will show up to rehearsal, or are they too programmed with other activities. Responsibility is vital. Acting can be a life changing experience. Wanting to be involved is the key. Michelle Leonard, 10, remembers being m a play in third grade. I got to say one line, she said. Its fun to be in the play. I like learning how to be different characters and use a different kind of voice, different feelings and have different interests. This is Michelles first real play and she is new at all of this. Shes a quiet child but likes reading out loud, said Leonard. Being in the play gives my girls a chance to develop their talents and be in a positive environment, said Wendy who has two daughters in the production. They can be with kids with similar interests, and I w'ant them to have positive things to do and still be with their peers. Ask for references. Discuss what types of action and chemicals they will be using. Ask for an estimate of cost in writing. Even small fires can cause sufficient damage to be extremely and costly to take care of. If your home is damaged by fire or smoke, consider contacting a professional fire restorer as one of your first steps. Also, contact your instance company for their suggestions and advice Ifyoudolook into hiring a professional, consider them as you would any other professional coming into your home for repairs: Ask about experience - how Sometimes a professional fire restorer can provide helpful hints for you to try, but check around and ask a couple of other professional opinions. You dont want to create more mess or damage by doing it yourself. If you are dealing with heavy fire damage, it will pay to have a professional. If you are dealing with the odor that remains in the clothing, upholstered furniture, carpets, draperies, and other places in your home, consider the following' Change furnace filters daily the first week or so after the fire. for more information ft American Cancer Society of Davis County is seeking volunteer board members for opportunities such as interacting with retail outand communities lets, physicians, 0 schools, and planning c j or Lenore Robbins at 774-655- 2 3 f- ? violence and maintain grounds and the facility Tor information contact Judy Kasten Bell at 786-101 or Susan Porter at The North Davis Rotary would like responsible adults to become mentors for Explorer Post 600 for information contact Howard WhiteExt. 240. way at 479-546United Way of Davis County in Layton needs a volunteer to help update the Community Resource Directory and help with some general office work Come help the community m a cheerful office environment Eor more 1. information call 497-9- 1 The Davis County Coalition for Character needs volunteers to assist with various aspects of the Team Up for Character Relay The race will be held m Clearfield May Please call Kristen Hall at -- t pm TTie Program needs adult volunteer advocates for children who are victims of crime All adults may apply to be CASA volunteers, but men and individuals who are multilingual are particularly needed Training times and other information may be obtained by calling Jennifer Weaver at 779-65The Davis Citizens' Coalition Against Violence needs volunteers to help with crisis calls, intake at the slielter, provide support for victims of domestic i N vt i' t s I ' , ' ,s . t ? - A jt Cl ' t tA V XV fr ' J ts to 5 General opportunities CASA A ; f 4 4 This is a luting of volunteer positions asmlahie throughout Dusts Counts lor more information, call the Dusts Counts United Was Information & Referral Ser1 Monttas through tn-daine at 'ti t, e 't,- - ,jaM kids who are going to n .

This is different than just masking odors with perfumes, aerosols and sprays. Open windows and doors for ventilation. If smoke damage is really bad, you may need to completely remove and replace insulation m your attic. If there is no soot damage, vacuum your carpets well, using a new vacuum bag, possibly even using the kind for people with allergies (HLPA). If there is no soot damage, vacuum your upholstered !umi-tur- c also When there is soot damage, I would seriously consider hiring a professional, Wash down walls using a solution safe for the type of paint you have. Launder all washable clothing, bedding and household items that may be smoke damaged. The most important guideline to keep in mind is to use the appropriate chemicals, the nght equipment and techniques.
