Subject: Practice News Story #3: Crime
Posted: Sept. 26, 2007
Headline: Crime
Dateline: LOGAN, Utah
A burglary took place yesterday morning sometime between 2 and 4 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meeting house on the corner of 1600 east and 900 north in Logan. An estimated $600 in damage and stolen property has been reported to local authorities.
Sherriff Deputy Geoffrey Hasty from the Logan City Sherriff’s Department responded to the call made by physical management manager Bob Knotz. Mr. Knotz arrived at the LDS church house that morning to do some repair work on ceiling tiles when he “noticed two broken monitors on the floor and immediately knew something was wrong and called police”.
Apparently a window had been left open by Bishop Lawrence Shirk, who had been there the night before. Bishop Shirk said he was “enjoying the smell of the rain” and just “forgot to close the window”
The Sherriff’s department has evidence that points them to two suspects that they are trying to reach for questioning.

I was born in Tacoma, Washington in 1976. My father was in the Air Force and our family traveled to Asia and Europe for assignment. In 1986 my father retired from the military and we found our home in Providence, Utah.
I attended secondary and high school in cache valley.
In 1992 I followed my high school sweetheart to St. George, Utah and we married in 1993. Not surprisingly we separated in 1995. In August of 1996 my son was born. I tried to return to my education by taking my GED at Bridgerland Applied Technology Center in Logan.
The need to feed myself and my baby put me directly to work in a production job at ICON Health and Fitness in Logan.
I met my second husband in 1997 and our daughter was born in 1998. I attempted to attend USU during my second pregnancy, but the stress of full time work, a toddler and a baby on the way kept me from being successful. In 2002 my third child was born and my marriage once again ended.
By this time I held a position in the marketing department at ICON as the print production coordinator. I traveled to China several times for work and enjoyed my job immensely. In 2005 I was laid off as a result of budget cuts.
After the lay-off, it was painfully obvious that without a college degree, I would not be able to acquire a similar position at any other company. I took a low-paying part-time job as a bartender at Mulligan’s Social Club and re-entered school at USU.
When I am not attending school or doing homework, I love spending time with my beautiful children and my wonderful boyfriend. I love to watch movies, and really, the news. If I actually get a chance to have control over the TV, it is usually on a news channel. I have a subscription to the Salt Lake Tribune, but don’t get as much time as I would like to read it.
To answer the question I’m sure you’re dying to know; my grandmother died on November 22, 2006. That is her face tattooed on my arm.
