Two Monitors Destroyed at LDS Church
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is missing two computer monitors this morning due to a break in. The church is located on 900 North, 1600 East. Maintenance man, Robert (Bob) Knotz, made the call to Logan Police Department around 6:15 a.m. where Sheriff Deputy Geoffery Hasty arrived at the scene. Hasty said it is still early in the investigation, but it is suspected two juveniles entered through an open window and attempted to take the monitors. The monitors were found smashed in a hallway and nothing else was taken.
Evelyn Breathwait has lived directly across from the church parking lot for almost 60 years now. When asked if she had seen anything suspicious, she stated, “I awoke last night around 2 a.m. to what sounded like metal or glass scraping and thought it was the garbage man. When I looked out the window and saw the garbage cans untouched, I just went back to bed and didn’t think much of it.” Breathwait says she still feels this is a safe neighborhood and that this is not a common occurrence.
Bishop Lawrence (Larry) Shirk of the Hillcrest 1st ward, was the last to lock up last night. He said there was no suspicious activity at 11 p.m. when he left. Bishop Shirks office window had been left open where the monitors were taken. The LDS Church plans to press charges.

Extra Practice News Story 2: Fire
A typical day at Pedro’s Mexican Restaurant ended in disaster yesterday afternoon around 2 pm when a grease fire broke out. The restaurant, located in the main level of a three story apartment building, was on the corner of 21st and Washington Boulevard. Fortunately, only five people were in the building, all of which survived. Police arrived at the scene approximately around 2:07. Deputy Fire Chief Greg Chamberlain said the investigation had not yet begun, but they had no reason to suspect arson.
Pedro Sanchez, twenty-seven, is the owner of the Pedro’s Mexican Restaurant. He had been cooking hamburgers when the fire started. Only one person, customer Michael Freeman, was in the restaurant and he was able to call for emergency services. Three others, Miguel Sanchez, the brother of Pedro, and his two daughters were in the second level of the building. Maria del Mar, age four, and Mercedes, age two, were taken to the McKay-Dee Hospital for smoke inhalation, while Miguel was treated at the scene.
Rebuilding of the restaurant looks promising for Pedro. “Many have already offered to help rebuild. People like coming into the restaurant and we hope to grow bigger.” He has been in the United States for two years now, while his brother and two nieces are still awaiting residency. The apartment building owner Rachel Calhoun offered no comment at this time.

Practice News Story 1: Accident!
USU Van Tragedy
11 people traveling on a Utah State University agriculture field trip were in a rollover accident at approximately 4 pm yesterday. Robert Petersen, Jared Nelson, and one other unnamed passenger are the only survivors and all receiving medical treatment from Ogden hospitals. Highway Patrolman Lt.

The driver, Professor Evan Parker, age 45, Steven Bair, age 24, Brad Wilcox, and Kurt Madsen have all been pronounced dead.
University Official, Noel Cockett, the dean of the College of Business, said the University is just devastated about the accident. Cockett made the comment that Evan Parker had recently told him, “These students are the best I’ve ever seen. They are the cream of the crop.” All activities for Ag Week have been cancelled and a memorial will be held later this week.
