In Juab County, the program can be viewed at the Extension office located in the courthouse. A majority of state legislators are expected to attend the town meeting, held in the chamber of the Utah House of Representatives, including Senator Lane Beattie, president of the Utah Senate, and Rep. Melvin Brown, speaker of the House. "This kind of direct access to question-and-answ- er 6-- state legislators, just three weeks into their 1997 session, is almost unheard of" said Bob Gil- liland, USU Extension director. "It is a tremendous opportunity for Utah dtizens to be heard and have input in the legislative pro- cess." Legislative leaders are expected to take a few minutes to welcome viewers and outline progress on some issues faring Utah. Then the floor will be open to Utah dtizens to address their own concerns to lawmakers. Such issues as education, state taxes, highway funding and preparations for the 2002 winter Olympics are expected to be raised.

Research literature terms this phase of life as a crisis when persons come to a realization that they may never reach their career goals. Even those who have been successful occupationally may feel dissatisfied and wonder if it was all worth it. Women who have spent a majority of their married lives with children and household activities may wonder what their role is now. Mid-lif- e also often comes with an increased need to provide care for the elderly. Women tend to view this as more of a crisis than men do because they will likely provide more of the care. Mid-lif- e becomes a time when it is necessary to accept reality and learn to live with it, yet the increased health problems, worries and pressures can be difficult on a marriage. Once the adjustment has been made, however, marital satisfaction tends to increase for many couples. Some suggestions to enhance or hasten the adjustment brought on by caree- r-oriented follow. mid-lif- e The marriage relationship needs first priority. Earlier in life, children and careers often took first priority. It is important that husbands and wives reestablish their commitment and determination to make the marriage meaningful to both. Appreciation, understanding and support as well as meaningful time together become more important than ever. Role sharing may need to be adjusted to ensure an equal balance. The intimate aspect of the relationship may also require additional effort. A sense of humor is essential. Remember to laugh at yourself and your mate.
