A Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church building was broken into early Wednesday, January 31, 2007. According to Sheriff Deputy Geoffrey Hasty, the burglars are probably juveniles. There were two CPUs taken from LDS church Bishop Lawrence “Larry” Shirk’s office. Two computer monitors were also found smashed in the hallway.
Evelyn Breathwaite, who lives across the street said that she “heard banging, and like glass breaking” early Wednesday morning.
The maintenance manager of 5 buildings in the area, Robert Knotz, was the one who discovered the vandalism. Knotz went to the building at six o’clock a.m. Wednesday, and immediately saw the damaged monitors.
Bishop Shirk reported that Tuesday night he “opened up window to listen to the rain” and he apparently forgot to close it. The vandals came in through that window. The CPUs carried no confidential information; he just used them for personal information. Bishop Shirk said that they are valued at around 600 dollars total, while the monitors were about 50 dollars each.
Bishop Shirk said that it appears the two or more vandals were simple trying to have fun and goof off.

Extra Practice News Story 2: Fire
Shortly after 2 p.m. on Wednesday, January 24, a fire broke out in a Mexican restaurant called Pedro's on the corner of Washington Blvd. and 21st Street. The fire destroyed the inside of the restaurant. The fire did not affect any surrounding buildings, however the two apartments in the upper level of the building were damaged by smoke.
No one was seriously injured in the blaze. Mercedes and Maria del Mar, ages four and two, and their father, Miguel Sanchez, were in the upper apartment where they live at the time of the fire. They were rescued through a window by fireman Greg Chamberlain. "It wasn't really that big of a fire,” Chamberlain stated.
The Sanchez's were taken to Ogden Regional hospital with only minor injuries due to smoke inhalation. Medical Team Leader, Captain Rick Thompson gave the girls and their father oxygen after they were rescued and said that they seemed to be fine. Restaurant owner and cook, Pedro Sanchez, also sustained some burns to his hands, but was not seriously hurt.
Michael Freeman, age 16, was just finishing his lunch at Pedro's restaurant at the time of the fire. "I just saw smoke and heard him [Pedro] yelling and got out." The fire apparently started by some grease on the stove in the kitchen. "I tried to get the extinguisher, but I couldn't," said Pedro Sanchez. Sanchez did not want to comment on the approximate value of his restaurant, but stated that he has owned it for two years and he plans on rebuilding what what damaged in the fire and staying in Ogden.

Practice News Story 1: Accident
Yesterday afternoon around 4 p.m., a Dodge van carrying about 10 Utah State University students rolled on Interstate 84, just West of Tremonton.
They were on their way home from an Agricultural Systems Department field trip.
Kyle Holden, who is the manager at a farm implement store was driving his truck along side the van. Holden said that Professor Parker was the one driving the van. They weren’t going faster than 80 MPH, because Holden passed them going 80 MPH.
People in the van have not been named yet. Robbie Peterson was one of them, he was taken to a hospital in Ogden, 3 others were taken by life flight, and one was taken in an ambulance. Survivors are being flown to neighboring hospitals.
Police Lieutenant Ed Michaund was the first law enforcement officer on the scene. He said, “It’s one of the worst things I’ve had to witness.” Kyle Holden and Jennie Smith were the only witnesses. They tried to help as much as they could, but everyone was in bad shape. Jennie recalled seeing a big dust cloud after they went off the road. She was the one to call 911.
