I have been very busy following some bills pertaining to the safety of Utah children. I have had 7 gang bills and so far they are progressing nicely. Some have even made it through. Senator Greiner from Ogden has been the key sponsor and some have been from Rep. Wimmer. The reason it is Sen. Greiner is that he is the chief of police in Ogden City and knows just how bad the gang problem is first hand.
My biggest battle each day are the snow storms and getting to SLC safely. The other part that is difficult is my teaching schedule, which starts early in the morning and then I have to be back by 2:30 or 3:00 each day.
Plus I am getting over twenty students ready for the piano festival March 20. What stress!
The legislature if struggling with cutting funds in every part of Utah government. I am very glad I am not a legislator at this time. If a bill has a fiscal note with it, consider it dead. Anyway, I am sure you don't want to hear all this especially when some live in Idaho and Alaska. oh, and Wyoming. At least we are not in debt like California. IT is a state law that the budget must be
balanced by midnight on the last day of the legislature. Good for Utah!!!!!

Chugg Sisters Trip to St. George and Baby Josie
Last weekend Connie, Shirley , Jane and I went to St. George for a sisters' trip. We stayed at Shirley's palatial home in Ivins and enjoyed the beautiful blue skies and red hills of Dixie. We viewed movies and ate out and talked. We even found Dale and LaRita on their way home to Farr West and had dinner with them.
It was a great break from our hard winter up here in Midway. The other wonderful thing that happened was Clair and Lisa were there also visiting Tyron and Sloan. The reason being that Sloan just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl they named Josie. Clair had used a business trip and brought Lisa with him to be able to do all this. They are wonderful grandparents, traveling many miles to see those little kids. Sloan did great and Ty was over the moon with happiness. I even got to hold the little baby.
