The Ken Jennings of Cottonwood Heights, that is. Because the Murray home address and telephone number of Ken Jennings of "Jeopardy" fame are not listed, Jennings of Cottonwood Heights has received 20 to 30 calls a day - primarily from members of the national media wanting to interview him.

One day he even got a call from Ken Jennings of Alpine, who is the father of "Jeopardy's" Ken Jennings.

That Jennings gave the other Jennings a telephone number at Sony where fans could call for information on "Jeopardy's" Jennings, who was not allowed by the TV show's producers to take phone calls.

Finally, when Jennings' historic run on "Jeopardy" ended, the two Kens met and the Jennings of Cottonwood handed over a huge cardboard box of mail and packages that had been sent to him instead of the "Jeopardy" Jennings.

But the calls to Jennings of Cottonwood Heights, who owns Hart Signs in Salt Lake City, continue - now from people and organizations who want donations.

Don't lose them: We have written from time to time about school teachers having to reach into their own pockets to buy supplies for their classrooms because the Legislature is too stingy to come up with the cash to adequately supply schools.

But maybe a Granite School District promotion will save some of its teachers a couple of bucks.

In celebration of Granite's 100th birthday, the district is distributing today 80,000 commemorative pencils, one for every student and employee. Etched on the pencils is the slogan: "A century of success. A future of service."

At a cost of 5.3 cents a pencil, the district is spending a total of $4,230, which comes out of its Public Relations Department budget.

That's cheaper than a hearty bacon-and-eggs breakfast at a typical Republican fund-raiser.

See no evil: If you are shipping toys and clothes for the grandkids for Christmas, make sure you don't pack the goodies in a box labeled Popov, Jim Beam or Gallo.

The shipping agencies won't take them.

UPS, the U.S. Postal Service and others have a policy against taking packages in liquor or wine boxes, even if the contents have nothing to do with liquor or wine. Some Utahns have learned the hard way this season.

The policy is related to laws prohibiting the shipment of liquor across state lines.

Oxymoron? There's a local group on the http://www.meetup.com site that call themselves "Atheists of Zion."
