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!

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.

Gates mentioned a former press release will be held in a couple of weeks about what they will be doing in Africa. The trio will be joined by Warren Buffet, who will also be supporting the foundation to see that their goals set for the people of Africa will be a success and they will continue to take care of themselves long after they leave.
