He said it's crucial for Spanish Fork Police to have at least one reliable line. "There's something happening almost all the time on our lines," he said.

"Joseph" proved a success, (in Salt Lake City, but he still wonders if Utah has gotten over its embarrassment of him the way theTrest of the country has. "The name has been dragged through the mud," he said with just a hint of disappointment left over from the shoddy treatment the Osmonds received during the darker days.

He mostly failed at this throughout the '80s, until his 1989 song "Soldier of Love" brought him back to the forefront, followed by his six years in "Joseph." " 'Soldier of Love' broke the ice, but 'Joseph' put the icing on the cake," he said. "You can fake it for a while, but not for six years. That was when I started to realize they were taking me seriously." And what about the current crop of young singing stars? "I think it's great, because I know what it feels like," he said. "I talked to the NSync guys, and they knew about my career from VHl's 'Behind the Music.' They know it's inevitable that it comes to an end. I didn't know. I had nothing to compare it to."

"We would not at all be starting from scratch," Romesburg said in January. He said much of the new school realignment, development and initiation of new degrees would be funded internally and through new enrollment and growth funding. New funding, in the form of matching funds or part of the governor's approval, if legislatively approved, would be used to achieve all the goals within, the planned time frame and to start some of the new degrees.

The current album is "This Is the Moment," on which Donny sings some of his favorite Broadway showtunes. The accompanying tour will last at least 18 months and is his first concert tour in 11 years, and his first international concert tour in 20.
