ClearPoint Instruction making everything more clear for patients
ClearPoint helps patients feel more at ease
Logan, UT.- When you are about to receive some kind of medical treatment, it can always seem frightening. Most of us don't have a clear knowledge about what we are about to go through. Well all of that is changing thanks to ClearPoint. This is a company that provides patients with information about certain types of medical procedures they are about to undergo including pregnancy, in/out patient surgery and physical therapy just to name a few. There is no cost to patients. It is all included with the cost of the surgery.
Preston Parker, senior vice president of ClearPoint, said, “This is a way to cut down on time and money. Patients who lack information have a slower recovery time. Patients come more prepared and this reduces the amount of surgeries hospitals have to reschedule. It really is a win win situation.”
ClearPoint meets with doctors here in Cache Valley to learn about the information for procedures. They then provide simulated instruction, DVD's and different literature to show patients what is going to happen.
ClearPoint was created in January of 2006. It is currently working with Mountain West Physical Therapy and Cache Valley Specialty Hospital but hopes to soon be expanding. So far there is no negative feedback. The company is partly founded by health-care providers.

PNS: Crime
Burglary in local LDS meeting house
Early yesterday morning, a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was burglarized. The meetinghouse is located on 900 North and 1600 East in Logan Utah.
Sheriff Deputy, Jeoffery Hasty, said there was no forced entry. He believes two juveniles climbed through a small open window. There were two smashed computer monitors on the floor, and various computer equipment is missing. Right now they are working with finger print evidence to determine the suspects. Hasty said that the case is "pretty cut and dry".
Lawrence (Larry) Shirk is the presiding bishop over the Hillcrest 1st ward which meets in this building. Shirk was the last one to leave the building last night. He had opened up his window for some fresh air and forgot to lock it. Shirk said that luckily all church records had been deleted off the computer equipment stolen, and transferred to newer devices. He left the building around 11:00 p.m.
Robert (Bob) Knotz was the first to arrive at the building. He got there around 6:00 a.m. and promptly called the police. "I’m glad nobody got hurt…I’m excited to get back to my ceiling tiles".

PNS 1: Accident
Tragic Crash for Utah State University
At four p.m. today a Utah State University van carrying ten Utah State students and one instructor rolled on Interstate 84 just west of Tremonton. As part of Utah State Universitys Agriculture week, the students and instructor were taking a field trip.
Kyle Holden had accompanied the group and was driving alongside them when he noticed something was not right. He reportedly saw smoke coming from the back of the vehicle. Then witnessed the van swerve in and out of lanes before the wheels caught and it spun out of control. "It all happened so fast…." Holden said.
Lt. Jason Jensen of the highway patrol was the first law enforcement offical to arrive on the scene. Jensen said that three to four individuals were pronounced dead at the scene and the rest were taken to near by hospitals. He speculates that the van was going at least 95 to 100 miles per hour and that this factor was a major contributor to the accident. In Jensens 15 years of experience he has never seen a crash of this calibur when seat belts were being worn.
Noel Cockett, Dean of the college of Agriculture, got a phone call from a university rep. Telling her of the news. Evan Parker, the driver, was pronounced dead at the scene. Evan was 45 years old. Steven Bear, 24, also pronounced dead at the scene along with Brad Wilcox and Curt Madsen. Jared Nelson and Robert Peterson are recovering at Ogden Regional Hospital. The names of the other victims are being withheld.
