The mock legislature was made up of ninth- to 12th-grade students from 16 Utah counties. They took real Utah bills that would directly have an effect on them, researched, presented and debated them, then voted on whether they should become law. Some of the bills they voted on were whether to raise the. minimum wage or not, putting a ban on smoking inside cars with minor children and granting grant-ing a high school diploma to any student who could pass the states competency test. They assembled in the newly remodeled capitol room for the Utah House of Representatives hosted by Rep. Paul Ray even before the real lawmakers had a chance to use it. The 4H Teen Council members mem-bers took their trip to the city a step further and in keeping with the theme "Hands to larger service ..." They delivered quilts made by multiple Uintah County youth and the Helping Hands Club and donated them to Shriners Hospital. They also delivered baby booties they had made on small looms to the LDS Humanitarian Center, where they will be distributed around the world.

But, Emily wasn't feeling feel-ing very well. "We were driving home, when Emily suddenly just crumpled over," said Emily's mother, Jill. "She said, 'Mommy, I broke my muscle." Later that evening, after donning her Halloween costume, Emily began to vomit violently.' "She made sure that Emily had the very best care..." Jill called DinosaurLand Pediatrics and spoke with Dr. Vanessa LaQuinte who immediately ordered a CT scan. The scan showed that Emily had a burst appendix appen-dix and she was quickly hospitalized. "Dr. LaQuinte was great," said Jill. "She made sure that Emily had the very best care, including consulting with physicians physi-cians at Primary Children's Hospital. She took the time to explain what happened and how it would be treated. Even when she wasn't on call, she came by the hospital to check on Emily."
