AARP sees benefit to new statute AARP members, prospective members are encouraged about the potential benefits associated with the States first comprehensive "Do Not Call" bill passed in the 2003 legislative session. Senate Bill 194, crafted by Attorney General Mark Shurtliff and sponsored by Sen. Dave Thomas, with the assistance of Rep. Brad Winn, is expected to provide protection from unsolicited intra-stacalls and faxes generated by telemarketers. "AARP Utah is concerned about consumer fraud perpetrated in our state by unsolicited calls and faxes, said Rob Ence, State Director of AARP Utah. "Hundreds of telemarketing firms make unsolicited calls to thousands of people in our state every day and many other companies send unsolicited faxes. Well over half the number of people targeted for these calls and faxes are age 50 plus. Estimates indicate that approximately 10 percent of the unsolicited calls and faxes they and te other consumers receive are from fraudulent sources, costing consumers in America more than S40 billion annually. The bill mirrors protections provided at the interstate level by recent Federal Do Not Call efforts. To be launched the latter part of this year, the State "Do Not Call" registry established by this bill will prevent unwanted telemarketing calls and faxes. "Better than 73 percent of the 1 80,000 AARP members in Utah have indicated that legis- lation providing consumer protection against fraud should be a high priority," Ence said. '1 have heard the same level of concern from as well. S.B.194 is an excellent piece of legislation that provides much needed protection to Utah consumers from unscrupulous telemarketers and others who send unsolicited faxes," Provisions of the bill will also eliminate caller identification blocking used by many . rs telemarketers to mask the source of then call, regulate the use of predictive dialers and restrict the use of account information. Regulations and procedures for those wishing to have then names placed on the registry will be developed by the Utah Division of Consumer Protection, working with the Attorney General's Office and an advisory committee and will likely be announced for implementation in early fall. "AARP Utah appreciates the efforts of all involved with the introduction and success of this faxes are encouraged to watch for and participate in the new State Do Not Call registry.

It provides information and resources; engage in legislative, regulatory and legal advocacy, assist members in serving their communities; and offers a wide range of unique benefits, special products, and services for . its members.

Don't know why because I have been a widow for 26 years, but 1 was curious about what others thought and found that each one had a different view of marriage. One comment made from a woman I talked to was that when she sees this certain couple, she always knows which one is the mad one because that person is always two or three steps ahead. People bragging that they haven't had an argument in 40 years of marriage either have poor memories or a very dull life to recall. One gentleman said he found out that after winning an argument with his wife, the wisest thing a man can do is apologize. It is my considered opinion that some people get divorced for trivial reasons. But, then, some of them got married for trivial reasons. The divorce rate would be lower if, instead of marrying for better or worse, people would marry for good. One lady said she could remember her first kiss, now she has a daughter who can't even remember her first husband. The girl got married because she didn't like to spend her evenings alone and then got a divorce for the same reason. A recently married young girl made the statement that marriage is like twirling a baton or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy till you try Most girls The best comment was man who about a middle-age- d girL He didn't know whether to & V m Getting married is like buying on credit You see something, you like it you make it your own, and you pay for it later. A husband announcing his 50th wedding anniversary explained his happy marriage. "At home 1 rule the roost and my w ife rules the rooster."

Maybe that's the reason so many mothers cry at weddings. A kiss is what a husband struggled for before marriage and what his wife struggles for after marriage.
