COMPANY TO START UNIQUE LAND TRUSTS

LOGAN, UT - ABC Real Estate LLC is looking for people to invest in a system created by Bill Gatten known as a Beneficiary Directed Equity-Holding Landtrust, or BDEH Land Trust. Preston Parker, president of ABC Real Estate has started up this company to help save people money and boost the economy out of the slump it is in. In order fo the BDEH Land Trust to work, people need to help invest in a resident’s home while another beneficiary uses his credit score to help get the mortgage down on the house. The resident uses the credit score of the credit benificiary to save money and with the help of the investor (who puts money down on the home) to make the payments on their home. Whatever money is left over on the house payment goes to the beneficiaries.
Although this is going to help home owners keep their house and get their payment down, a credit score around 680 is needed, along with a down payment of about twenty percent from the investor on the home. The resident is required to sign an agreement to the beneficiaries that if the payment isn’t made within ten days of its due date, the lose their home to the beneficiaries. This will help many people who have a low credit score, can’t make a down payment on their home and also whose debt to income rating is too high.

Letter to Cousin

Dear Parker,

Hey cousin, how is life going in the pizza business? I am taking a wonderful class about writing in Public Relations, so far its going great. We are learning what words we can use and how to form sentences so that the public and readers like you can understand what we are writing about better. I found out today that sarcasm shouldn’t be in your writing, because people can’t tell you are being sarcastic unless they hear your voice, weird right? And, if I am to use humor, I should only tease up and not down, because you want to leave the person you are making fun of feeling good about themselves, even though you were being sarcastic about the compliment you just offered them. This class is going to help me in my profession and hopefully in my life, I plan on using the things I learn throughout the class daily to prepare me for a job in the field of public relations! Well cousin, I have to get going, but I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for reading!

For Immediate Release:

TREMONTON, Utah – Utah Highway Patrolman Jason Jensen was the first to arrive at the scene of the horrific rollover accident involving a Utah State University van traveling with ten Agriculture students and one Professor. Jensen, who arrived just after 4 p.m., believes the van was traveling at “high velocity… close to speeds around 95 to 100 miles per hour.” Jensen also noted that at least four of the occupants were dead on the scene. “I have been in the force for 15 years and this is the worst accident I have ever seen, it’s a tragedy that will affect people for years,” Jensen said when asked about the accident.

Kyle Holden, and eyewitness to the rollover, said he was traveling in a separate vehicle when he started to pass the van and saw the rear driver-side tire blow up in a cloud of smoke. “Evan (Parker, Professor and driver) lost control and swerved off of the road.” Holden recalled the van rolling up to four or five times and saw bodies projected from the van.

The Dean of the College of Agriculture, Noel Cockett, mentioned that it is Agriculture week at the university and had great things to say about the students. “This was an exceptional group of students.” Cockett mentioned the names of six, two of whom survived and four who died. The survivors are Robert Peterson and Jared Nelson who are in critical condition, two others survived but their names are not being released. The four who passed and were released were Professor Evan Parker, Steven Bair, Kurt Madsen and Brad Wilcox.

Gettysburg Address


Some four months after the battle where 160,000 troops fought and 7,500 American soldiers, North and South, died at the battle of Gettysburg, President Abraham Lincoln gave a speech in front of 1,500 people, that will not be soon forgotten. President Lincoln is going to have the battlefield where so many soldiers fought and died, dedicated a portion of the field as a cemetery to all the soldiers who gave their lives, so they can have a final resting place.
Lincoln went on to say that, “we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow, this ground”. Claiming the soldiers who fought bravely had already done so “far above our poor power to add or detract”. This powerful and well thought out speech touched many people, and added to the dedication ceremony. Lincoln hopes that people dead, “shall not have died in vain”, in hopes that maybe they did all this for a reason and this war may soon be over.

For Immediate Release

Logan – A Utah based company known as, ClearPoint Instruction LLC, is giving hope to many “to be” patients at hospitals. They are offering what very well could be the future of orientation for pre-surgery patients (among others), so they will know exactly what to expect upon entering the hospital, and the preparations to take before entering. The simple DVD’s they offer explain to potential patients the before, during, and after effects they will go through while in a hospital. ClearPoint has already made its way to two of Utah’s hospitals, Mountain West Physical Therapy and Cache Valley Specialty Hospital, showing great affects on the patients who received the treatment.

Senior Vice President Project Manager of ClearPoint, Preston Parker, is very excited about the company and hopes to seethe product being used in many hospitals throughout Utah and the nation. “Patients who are less educated upon entering a hospital tend to recover slower and aren’t as happy as those who are more educated about the procedures and processes they undergo,” Parker said. “We hope to educate people so they are not afraid of surgery, or pregnancy, which makes their stay in the hospital minimal if they do what is required of them before and after surgery.”

ClearPoint shows simulated instruction, and leaves out the “gory” details, making sure patients won’t be scared after watching the DVD’s about what is being done to their bodies. It is clearly a product to educate and inform potential patients and is a great way to help people better understands exactly what is expected of them to make their doctor’s job as easy as possible. Clearpoint has already released several DVD’s some of which explain; Surgery, Pregnancy, Post-op/Physical Therapy along with In and Out Patient DVD’s to name a few. Clearpoint can help any medical organization meet all Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accreditation standards and national patient safety goals.

Burglar Suspects to be Tried

LOGAN, Utah

Two burglary suspects are being tried after being arrested by Sheriff Deputy Geoffery Hasty. The two acquaintances are suspected of breaking and entering a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints last week in Logan, Utah. 35 year old Jim Michaels and a juvenile, 15 (whose name is not being released), are both suspected of the burglary.

The Defense Attorney of Michaels, Robbie Cochran, believes the forensic evidence found at the scene of the crime to be “flimsy” and not enough to convict Michaels of any crime. Michaels posted a $5,000 bond and is to be tried on March 21st, and could face up to six months to a year in jail.

The two suspects are former acquaintances and both have prior records, which were not discussed during the interview.

Practice News Story 3: Crime

Burglary at LDS Church in Logan

Early this morning, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the corner of 9th North and 16th East was broken into. Two computers were stolen in the process, and Sheriff Deputy Geoffrey Hasty is investigating the burglary. Although no suspects are being pinpointed at the moment, he has some leads. He believes this to be the act of at least two juveniles, breaking in through a window in the Bishop’s office. “The window is just high enough that you would have to be hoisted up by another person to get in,” said Hasty. Two monitors were smashed in the hallway of the LDS Meetinghouse, leading to charges of vandalism as well as burglary.

The first person to arrive on the scene was the maintenance manager Robert (Bob) Knotz. “It looked as though the burglars entered through the window and unlocked the door from the inside.” Although Bob says coming up to an unlocked door usually doesn’t mean anything, he still wanted to investigate and stumbled upon the two smashed monitors in the hallway of the Mormon Church. Knotz doesn’t believe this to be a hate crime toward the LDS Church, but more of just some juveniles being kids.

Around 2 a.m. a neighborhood resident, Evelyn Breathwaite, heard something disturbing shattering noise across the street from her house. Although Evelyn lives right across the street from the LDS Church, she never would’ve thought someone would have broken into it. “Nothing like this has happened to this Church in 50 years” Evelyn stated, and she still considers it to be a safe neighborhood and isn’t scared to stick around.

Xbox 360: Halo 3

To me there is nothing better then sitting down in front of my TV, inches away, playing Halo 3 on my Xbox 360 for hours on end. I love to get online and play some sweet multi-player action with some of my best friends. Although there are many other games that I enjoy playing, Halo 3 online is the only way to go for me, anyone who disagrees with me hasn't attempted the intense game play and action you can receive while playing Halo 3.
