SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A new poll shows Gov. Jon Huntsman shouldn't worry about packing his bags after the November election. More than eight of every 10 registered voters strongly or somewhat approve of how Huntsman is doing his job. The Republican is seeking a second term this year. Thirteen percent said they somewhat or strongly disapprove and 3 percent said they didn't know, according to a poll by Dan Jones & Associates for the Deseret Morning News and KSL-TV. The polling firm interviewed 601 people, March 17-20. The survey has an error margin of 4 percentage points. While Utahns love their governor, the affection isn't the same for their lawmakers.

Families talk on web By CATHERINE SMITH Deseret Morning News OREM Utah (AP) - Jennie Taylor and her children haven't touched or played with their husband and father, Utah National Guard Ll. Brent Taylor, in nearly a year. But they have at least seen him. Brent Taylor is stationed in northern Iraq with the National Guard. The Taylors own a webcam and talk to Brent about twice a week, depending on his schedule. And although their conversations generally aren't long, they do get to see him. "Its a life saver," Jennie Taylor said of the webcam. "We have a 1year-old and a 2 1/2-year-old, and it's the only way they know who their dad is." Now, the greatest thing to happen to military families, as Taylor calls it, is coming to libraries throughout Utah Valley, specifically for the use of families of deployed soldiers. Kraig Thornc, district four senior vice commander for the Veterans of Foreign Wars, started a program to deliver webcams to every library in Utah County. Numerous families of deployed soldiers who don't have either a computer or a high-speed Internet connection to keep the video streaming, can go to their library and talk and see their deployed family member. Taylor, who is also the Family Readiness Group Leader for the 116th Convoy Security Cocppany, says she was surprised at the number of families she knew who could- 2800 E Deer Valley Drive #6310 - Silver Baron Lodge M'» contemporary condominium I 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom - 2334 square feet Great floor plan - Huge master bath - Private hot tub on deck II Amazing amenities and common area facilities nearing completion i stefanikimche REALTOR i t office 435 645.8111 mobile 435 901.1251 stefani@sksmanagement.com Lockout capability - Beautiful views BAnGKOK Offered at $1,650,000 THAI on L.^J main 605 Main Street • Park City • 649-THAI (8424) www.bangkokthaionmain.com "i M ' i L • FfSTOF AWARIUtt EXCtUENCI: Each OFf-cQ Independently Q-ftTicd & Oper.iTcd UTAH 2007-i .

''Libraries have been willing and; receptive,'1 she said. "They recog-, nize there's a need for those farni-^ lies to stay in touch that way." Thorne said he stumbled upon the, idea for the webcams last year. The! VFW was giving out phone cards' when the thought occurred to him. • "For the cost of two of those; cards you can buy a webcam," he; said. He wrote letters to several; libraries and asked if they would be; willing to accept a webcam and set it up on a computer specifically fori military families to use. So far, the: VFW has given the webcams, pro-' vided by donated funds from!1 Mountain American Credit Union, to Pleasant Grove, Lehi and Orem' libraries and intends to give one to! every library in the county. ; Both Thorne and Taylor said they hope the webcams will catch* on with other divisions of the VFW! throughout Utah. Their next focus; will be in Weber and Davis coun-i ties. Taylor said. The VFW does its! best to help and support veterans' and the families of serving militaryi men and women.
