Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Involved with Africa Service
ABUJA, NIGERIA-Ted Turner and Bill and Melinda Gates were seen stepping off of a private jet together in Abuja, Nigeria to meet with African officials. The cause of this meeting is not known at this time.
Mayor Malik Ok, Mayor of the city, was available for questioning, but did not give much away. Ok said, “We have had some meetings and phone conversations over the last 3-4 months. We also made agreements not to talk about specifics but, they are very generous people-I believe they have our interest at heart.” Africa has very little funding to educate people to the level they want.
Bill Gates was also very ‘hush-hush’ about the meetings and the plans that seem to be forthcoming. Gates said, "Nothing specific has been announced, but it looks like in the next 2-3 months something involving education and millions of dollars will be announced. We are going to help out with health education.
Ted Turner will be helping in setting up a foundation similar to that of the United Nations Foundation. Their belief is to teach people to support themselves. The foundation will be helping in building ‘brick and mortar’ facilities as well as give workshops on many different health related topics. Ok said, “With the proper education, our people will no longer be infected with the diseases we are now facing.”
Staff will be provided to begin the education, overtime, and local staff members will take on the teaching positions. It looks to be a 10-year project, and then the local government will be able to fund it. The foundation is affecting at least five different nations.

USU Fieldtrip Turns Car Accident Into a Fatal Nightmare
TREMONTON, UTAH-Each year Utah State University celebrates AG Week. Many activities are involved, including a fieldtrip with several students from the Agriculture Department. This year is an AG Week that will never be forgotten.
Around 4 p.m. today the University van carrying one instructor and ten students lost control and rolled off the highway. When Lt. Jason Jensen from the Utah Highway Patrol and his partner arrived at the scene Lt. Jensen said, “When we got there, there were bodies everywhere, literally scattered across the area.” Seven were declared dead at the scene and the remaining four were taken to neighboring hospitals. The speed of the vehicle is unknown at this time. “In my eleven years of experience, to be thrown the way these individuals were thrown, there is now way seatbelts could have been wore.” Said Lt. Jenson. Preliminary investigations have not taken place, but will be done so to determine the actual cause of the accident.
Kyle Holden, a former student and employee of Greenline Implements was in a separate vehicle traveling with the van. Kyle had planned the fieldtrip to Tremonton to show the students a combine in a field near Tremonton. Heading south on I-84 Kyle witnessed the tragic accident. “I was passing Evan, who was driving. I made eye contact with him, at the same time I saw smoke coming from the back of the van. Seconds after that I saw the van go off the shoulder and start to roll. It was the worst thing I have ever seen in my life.” Said Holden. “These were good kids. The few hours I spent with them let me know that. As a student, Evan Parker was my favorite instructor. He is the reason I graduated. To have something like this happen is difficult, it’s hard to put into words.
Noel Cockett, Dean of College of Agriculture said, “This is certainly something that will affect many6 students. This is one of our best classes we’ve ever had. Evan Parker has also said that. This is going to hit at the heart for a lot of people. Some of the students were married and had children. This is going to be very difficult.
The Agriculture Department will meet in the morning to discuss and make plans as how to deal with the University’s faculty and students. Cockett said, “This is a huge shock. We are all in a state of mourning.”

Big Plans for Africa and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?
Logan, Utah-A private jet landed earlier today in Abuja, Nigeria. Those coming off the jet included Bill and Melinda Gates and Ted Turner. They were seen meeting with African officials. Mayor Malik Ok, mayor of Abuja, Nigeria, was interviewed, however, not much detail has been let out concerning the meetings of these high rank individuals. Ok did state that some meetings and phone conversations had been taking place between he and members of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation over the last several months. Ok said, “We have made arrangements not to discuss specifics but I can say that these are very generous people. They have interest in raising education in my city and country. I believe they have our interest at heart.” Ok also stated that the individuals from his city would build new buildings that will hold health classes. The education that will be offered will be health education. Too many people in Africa are dying from diseases that can be avoided such as polio, malaria, HIV, etc. “With the proper education our people will not be inflicted with these diseases.” Said Ok.
Africa does not have the funds to educate their people to the level they want. With the help coming from Ted Turner, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the donations that have come from Warren Buffet a higher education will be available. The education will not be that of certificates or degrees, but will be a way to living a better, healthier life, and being able to support oneself more efficiently.
With not a lot to say, Bill Gates was found for a short interview. Gates said, “Nothing specific has been announced, but it looks like in the next few months something involving education, and millions of dollars (many thanks to Warren Buffet) will be taking place. We are going to help out with health education.”
With nothing set in stone as of yet, Africa is looking at a ten-year plan. They will receive funding for approximately ten years before their own government will be able to take over and fund the education themselves. Local city members will be trained and be able to teach the classes themselves, keeping the education alive.

Utah Jazz Take a Victory Over Cleveland Cavaliers
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah-The Utah Jazz defends their home court with a 106-99 sweep over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Andrei “AK-47” Kirilenko had an amazing game with 21 points and 21 blocks. “I decided I was going to block shots this game, that is where I focused and it worked out.” Said Kirilenko after the game. Prior to the game, Kirilenko had watched video clips of the Cavaliers, mainly LeBron James, to be prepared and know what to anticipate. When asked about James, Kirilenko said, “He moves fast!”
During a post game interview, Jerry Sloan, the head coach of the Utah Jazz, said, “I feel our guys could do better on defense. Kirilenko had a great game, but a lot of guys could do better. The final score of 106-99 is a close game.” With one minute remaining in the game the score was 100-99 for the Jazz. Paul Millsap had the ball and scored a three, seconds later C.J. Miles also scored a three, ending the game and putting another win behind the Utah Jazz.
The lead scorer of the game tonight was Carlos Boozer with 29 points and 7 rebounds. LeBron was in second with 28 points. LeBron, after the game, said, “I really felt that, even though we never had the lead, we were in the game the whole time. Salt Lake City has one of the loudest crowds and they protect their home well. I think the crowd took us out of the game more than anything.” LeBron remembers being in high school watching Kirilenko play and thinking he deserved to be a star. “I haven’t seen that Kirilenko in a long time, but I definitely saw him tonight.”
The Utah Jazz never went behind in this game. The score was tied up eight different times, but the Jazz managed to keep the pressure on and keep the lead. Sloan plans on working on defense, running some plays, and stepping things up for the next game on Friday November 9th against the Seattle Sonics at Seattle.
