Giani, Executive Director of the Utah Department of Commerce, announced today that the Utah Division of Consumer Protection has received several reports that a fake email is circulating which informs the recipient that unless they register their cell phone numbers with the National Do Not Call Registry this month, their information will be published to telemarketers. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which houses the National Do Not Call Registry, has posted the following language on their website (http://www.ftc.gov/donotcall) regarding this email to ensure consumers won't be fooled; From the FTC: Cell Phones "You may place your personal cell phone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. The registry has accepted cell phone numbers since it opened for registrations in June 2003. There is no deadline to register a home or cell phone number on the Registry. You may have received an email telling you that your cell phone is about to be assaulted by telemarketing calls as a result of a new cell phone number database; however, that is not the case. Federal Communications Commission regulations prohibit telemarketers from using automated dialers to call cell phone numbers." "This cell phone email is an urban myth that keeps re ❑ surfacing every few months. Family and friends may think they are forwarding you useful information, however there is no deadline and your cell phone number will not be given to telemarketers if you don't act," said Francine A. Giani. Utahns are encouraged to register their phone numbers with National Do Not Call registry by logging on to www.donotcall.gov and choose "Register a Phone Number". Users will be instructed to enter their phone number and email address connected to the registry. Consumers may also obtain the same information by calling 1-888-382-1222. Phone numbers that are placed on this registry do not expire thanks to new legislation that was passed in 2007. real estate auctions 40+ Utah Home Auctions Begin Dec 1st Nominal Opening Bids from $1,000 For details, see & williamsauction.corn 4,44 Many Available for Online Bidding .

I .1 A BIG AND SMALL ENERGY SAVER FOR EACH ROOM OF YOUR HOUSE Saving the environment can be an overwhelming task. With everything in the news about how to make your home more energy efficient, it's easy to become bewildered when thinking about all the improvements you could make. But there's no need to worry, as you don't have to make your home into a model for green living all at once. In fact, if everyone did just a few little things, the earth would see a gigantic benefit, so you can still do your part even if it doesn't mean retrofitting your entire home. And a few small measures, like taking the ENERGY STAR "Change the World" pledge, can result in you seeing immediate savings. Some of the world's leading brands recently teamed up with energysavings experts to build an energy-neutral house to test earth-friendly practices in Boulder, Colo. Lifestyle experts were then invited to live in The Green House for three days, test its environmentally friendly products and experience the benefits of eco-friendly living. The main takeaway from The Green House project is that there are a variety of steps you can take, big ones and smaller ones, to make each room in your home more eco-friendly: Bathroom Big: Install a low-flow aerating showerhead. Most models allow you to save around 30 percent on water usage without compromising on your shower experience. Small: Avoid using toxic cleaning products, as chemicals find their way into the atmosphere and water- ways. As you run out of old cleansers, replace with nontoxic cleaning products. Kitchen Big: Replace your old refrigerator or dishwasher with an energy-efficient model. Look for models that either meet or go beyond ENERGY STAR levels, like a new 4-Door French-door refrigerator from LG that's 20 percent more efficient than the minimum ENERGY STAR standard. The fridge achieves efficiency through linear compressor technology that alters output based on demand from the refrigerator. This means fewer temperature swings, ultimately using less energy and saving you money. Small: Plant a garden, as the food out of your garden will be fresher and won't need to be transported to the store or to your home. Bedroom Big: Buy all-natural bedding that is made from earth-friendly materials. Small: Unplug gadgets like cell phone chargers and unused appliances before going to bed, since they can use energy even when they are plugged in and not in use. Laundry room Big: Buy an energyefficient washer and dryer. Consider a high-efficiency, front-load machine like a SteamWasher from LG. It uses more than 50 percent less water per load and is roughly 86 percent more energy-efficient than conventional top-load machines. Small: Clean your dryer vent after each load, because even a partially clogged vent will hurt your dryer's efficiency. Energy center Big: Invest in a programmable thermostat, which can save you money by setting temperatures lower when you plan to be away or while you sleep. Some even can be controlled remotely while you are away. Small: Replace incandescent light bulbs with more energy-efficient CFL or LED bulbs. Garage Big: If you're in the market for a new car, buy a gassipping hybrid. Small: Take public transportation. Better yet, where possible, bike or walk on one trip each week where you would usually drive. Living room Big: Buy an ENERGY STAR-rated TV that will save you money when it's both on and off. With very low standby and on-mode power consumption, some new LED HDTVs from LG use only about 7 cents of electricity a day for average viewing of six hours daily. Small: Unplug your DVD player or other accessories when they are not in use, especially when leaving for an extended time like a vacation. Whether they are big or small, your energy-saving contributions won't go unnoticed by Mother Nature or your pocketbook.

The Lady Cats started it with two games at Richfield. They beat Duchesne by 30 points on Friday night and came back on Saturday with a close game against Monticello 2A team losing by 4 points.
