I'd read in the news that the organiza- tion was going through some challenging times with the Federal Trade Commission, so I was eager to learn what he had to say. First, let me remind you that I am a huge fan of LifeLock, a company that offers identity theft "insurance." I do all I can to protect my identity, and then I carry LifeLock protection in case something happens. To me, it's like auto insurance. I drive safely, but if I get whacked, I want to know that I'm covered and my insurance company will take care of the damage. If my identity is stolen and my good name is put through the wringer, I know that LifeLock knows how to restore it and will spend up to a million bucks to get the job done. I like that. Back to Todd's letter, which, as it turns out, warmed my heart. I can iden- tify with anyone who gets exuberant to the point of exaggeration and hyper- bole. In a nutshell, the FTC took Todd and LifeLock to task for misrepresent- ing and exaggerating the benefits and wonder of the service. You might remember seeing TV commercials in which Todd had his Social Security number painted on the side of a truck, which he drove through New York City. In a taunting kind of way, he challenged any- one to try to steal his identity. The claims were shocking: that even after broadcast- ing his identifying informa- tion, he was certain no one could steal his identity. LifeLock went on to suggest that by putting fraud alerts on its cus- tomers' credit files, it was locking out thieves. That claim caused a big stink, as well. Fraud alerts are OK, but they don't prevent thiev- ery. In a way, it's like lock- ing the door after the bur- glars have gone. made amends. The company is finan- cially strong. And now Todd and his dedicated team can get back to the work of providing identity theft protec- tion. Mary Hunt As it turns out, the FTC sued LifeLock for mislead- ing the public and giving a false sense of absolute confidence. And LifeLock lost, to the tune of something close to $12 million. Ouch. That's some kind of slap on the wrist for going overboard with the advertising claims. LifeLock has paid the fines, changed its advertising claims and Everyday Cheapskate Have I lost confidence in LifeLock? Not at all. I don't depend on this company for prevention. I want it in my corner in case the worst hap- pens, in the same way I count on my homeowners and auto insurance companies to be there if we have a fire or car accident.

Shasta-Tehama Home and Garden Show returns After the wild success of last year’s show, the Shasta- Tehama Home and Garden Show event is returning this year to the Tehama County Fairgrounds in Red Bluff from noon to 6 p.m. Friday, April 30, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, May 1 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, May 2. Admission and parking are free thanks to Fox 20, My 21, the show’s sponsor. "Who doesn’t love home shows?" said Bob Bock, show coordinator. "It’s a once a year opportunity to see a myriad of different home and garden-related businesses for three days all in one place." Visitors can expect another large show with well over 100 exhibitor spaces including a multitude of outdoors displays. There will be a wide array of top- notch exhibitors such as remodeling experts, build- ing contractors, carpenters, specialists in kitchen and bath, landscapers and more. There will also be a brand new arts and crafts vendor section. "You could very easily change the name of the event from Home and Gar- den Show to Home Idea Show, because that’s exactly what it is," Bock said. "Ideas don’t cost you anything." The Tehama County Fairgrounds will come alive during the weekend with a total of six major simultane- ous events taking place, all in one place: The 39th Annual "Silver Buckle" Arabian Horse Show will take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday; the 49th Annu- al "Red Bluff Garden Clubs Flower Show" will be Satur- day and Sunday; the 8th Annual Fiber On The Foot "Alpaca Show" will also be Saturday and Sunday; and the 11th Annual 4-H Fair and 6th Annual "Cinco de Mayo" celebration will both take place Saturday only. "What makes home shows so popular is that it gives attendees the opportu- nity to arrive unannounced, without giving out any per- sonal information, to talk to a number of extraordinary exhibitors and get the best deal – all on their own terms," Bock said. "It gives people the chance to select who they feel will do the best job for whatever endeavor they are after." Besides the exhibitors, people can look forward to fantastic food vendors. Look out for barbequed tri-tip roast, Greek specialties, Ital- Chili weather ian and Polish sausages, quesadillas, and the usual snack food like ice cream, smoothies and kettle corn. "Expect a very friendly greeting and a mellow atmosphere," Bock said. "This is an old fashioned home show like the way home shows used to be. Watch the fairgrounds come alive with loads of indoor and outdoor displays, incredible food, prize give- aways, demonstrations and more." This is a free event. "If you have spring fever, come to the home show for spring therapy," Bock said. "Home show prices are the best prices, particularly at this stage in the economy. There’s no better time to get the best deal on home remodeling and improve- ments." DMV to be closed on Fri.
