It was a hard choice for Savanna Tink to select a sled she wanted Thursday at the annual Shop With a Cop event at the Angola Meijer store. She was
helped by Angola Police Patrolman Brandon Booth and dispatcher Sandy Ferrell, not pictured.
ANGOLA — Sirens flashed from emergency vehicles in the Angola Meijer parking lot Thursday night as children descended upon the store looking for just the right Christmas gifts. It was all part of the annual Steuben County Shop With a Cop event. Emergency personnel were paired with children between the ages of 6-11 to shop for Christmas. More than 100 children each received $200 to shop and were recommended for the event by their school guidance counselors. “We spent about $200 a kid — which doubled it from last year,� said Steuben County Sheriff’s Deputy Rich McCarty, who organizes the annual
event. He said Meijer and Walmart helped with the program this year. Many families got involved with the event. Steuben County Sheriff Chief Deputy John Gonya assisted children with his wife, Kelly, who works in probation, and their sons, Logan and Caleb. Logan said he came to help others willingly. “It’s the Christmas season,� he said and his brother agreed. “They wanted to do this. We’ve been looking forward to it,� Kelly said, as she helped Jaden Redding check out clothes. Over in the boys’ clothes, Steuben County Coroner and Angola Fire Department Captain Bill Harter helped fit brothers Jayson and Terrence SEE SHOP, PAGE A7

Colorado student wounds two others, takes own life CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — A teenager who may have had a grudge against a teacher opened fire Friday with a shotgun at a suburban Denver high school, wounding two fellow students before killing himself. Quick-thinking students alerted the targeted teacher, who quickly left the building, and police immediately locked down the scene on the eve of the Newtown massacre anniversary, a somber reminder of how commonplace school violence has become. One of the wounded students, a girl, was hospitalized in serious condition. The other student suffered minor gunshot-related injuries and was expected to be released from the hospital Friday evening, authorities said. A third person was being treated for unspecified injuries but had not been shot, a hospital spokeswoman said. Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson initially reported that the most seriously hurt student was wounded after confronting the gunman, but he later said that did not appear to be the case. The gunman made no attempt to hide the weapon when he entered the school.

AMS robotics team state bound Stutzman votes yes on budget pact BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., voted in favor of a budget agreement that passed Thursday by a vote of 332-94 in the House of Representatives. “While this bipartisan agreement isn’t perfect, it stops President Obama’s dangerous habit of governing from one budget crisis to the next,� Stutzman said in a statement released after the vote. “Each Stutzman of the president’s manufactured crises brought new calls for more taxes and higher spending, and that’s exactly what I’m working to prevent.� He added, “This is by no means a permanent solution, but it does give Congress an opportunity to cut our debt, end ObamaCare’s pain, and lower taxes for families and businesses.� Earlier in the week, Stutzman had said he was undecided about how he would vote on the judgment agreement.

ANGOLA — A technological contingent from an Angola Middle School after-school program made a name for itself this year. A team of sixth- and seventh-graders is competing today in the state’s largest LEGO competition at Indiana University-Purdue University, Fort Wayne. Part of the SLAM Dunk after-school program provided through the Steuben County Literacy Coalition, the team took third in the region at a FIRST LEGO League competition a few weeks ago in Fort Wayne. This is the second year AMS SLAM Dunk has been involved in the national robotics program for children ages 9-14. A grant provided through the Indiana Department of Education and IndianaFirst provided the materials for a demonstration board and last year’s projects, built around the theme “Senior Solutions.� The Angola students went to the regional last year, but this year they excelled, said tutor Jay Carey, a Trine University civil engineering student and SLAM Dunk tutor. “We started working on this about the second week of September,� said Amy Sams, an Angola Middle School remediation teacher and coordinator of SLAM Dunk at AMS. “Every year, you get a kit to set up the board for all the challenges,� said Carey. While the grant was not renewed, Sams said she was able to purchase this year’s
kit, titled “Nature’s Fury.� The students completed the three-part challenge for regional judges at the LEGO League competition at the Public Safety Academy in Fort Wayne. “It’s pretty cool,� said sixth-grader Kaitlyn Mory. Her favorite part of the competition, which was held on a Saturday, was seeing the relics from Fort Wayne’s past, “old fire helmets, axes, police badges.� They competed against 14 other teams from as far as South Bend and south of Fort Wayne — taking third place. They programmed their robot to conduct a series of actions that either simulated natural disasters or did rescue missions after a storm. “We programmed it and make it do three things,� said Hamza Tariq. The programming is done on a laptop, seventh-grader Casey Robinson said. The robot portion of the challenge must be completed in 2 1/2 minutes, said Tariq. This week, the LEGO team has been practicing the robot routes over and over, said Casey. If it is only an inch or two off, it could run into an obstruction instead of topple a tower. The programming requires students to use mathematics principals to determine the number of wheel rotations needed to go from Point A to Point B, maneuver obstacles and pick up and drop items. The three-part competition also included a presentation by the students, in which they

AMS provides thousands of donations to Project Help Students take fund raising efforts to a higher level BY AMY OBERLIN aoberlin@kpcmedia.com
ANGOLA — Angola Middle School students brought a truck load of nonperishable items for Project Help of Steuben County this week. The food drive was organized by a seventhgrade committee made up of six girls and led by Kim Griffiths and April Bock. “They are doing lots of nice things. We’re really excited about it,” said assistant principal Rob Bach. The group consists
of Halai Faulkner, Destiny Brown, Samantha DeNio, Sadie Shannon, Anna Nisun and Rouz Althaiban. A few weeks ago, the girls made Cozy Country Cherry Pie and Precious Peach Pie for a charity pie auction. After that, they decided to do their own community benefit and organized a schoolwide canned food drive. While they were making their plans, Bach offered to provide a pizza party for the homeroom at each
grade level that brought the most food. Angola Middle School Booster Association leader Steve Bowers was also involved. “We just kind of liked the idea,” said DeNio. The girls made fliers encouraging students to bring donations. “We put the posters all over the school,” said Brown. On Friday, when more than 4,400 items had been collected, the girls collated and boxed them to be picked up by Project
Help that afternoon. Ramen noodles, Jell-O and Febreeze were among the common items. “A ton of noodles,” said Faulkner. The donations were collected in around 30 homerooms in the sixth through eighth grade, then displayed in their boxes in the cafetorium Friday afternoon with huge yellow numbers announcing the grand total of items: 4,477. The donations went across the socioeconomic spectrum.

Youth Blogs • Use your gifts well 1 Peter 4:10-11: God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen. BY TRACEY ZIMMERMAN
EVERY one is gifted at something. For some of you, you are gifted at sports. You have a God-given natural ability that you are fine tuning and using to the best of your ability. Some of you are gifted at school. You approach a test or task at school with confidence because you know that you got this. For many you are a natural born leader — your friends look at you when a decision needs to be made. They know that you will be able to make a decsion with authority. This passage reveals several things to me. The first being this, God gives each of us gifts. We are all wired differently. We aren’t all wired for music, sports, studies, or more. We are all wired to try, though. I see in this passage that we are to bring glory to God in all we do. So, that school assignment that you’re not all
that jazzed about … remember you are working for the Lord. One of my favorite Psalms is Psalm 121. In it we read “where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.” If I look at both of these passages I can discern that God will and has made a way for me. In some instances the way will be easier because he wired me for something special that I can do like no one else. In other cases it will be more complicated because you are not wired that way, but you will still need to achieve or accopmlish that goal. You cannot just say, “Well it isn’t my gift.” You see our help comes from the maker of heaven and earth so we can and will be able to do more than we can imagine when we put our faith and trust in him. As you think about presents this year do not forget to thank your heavenly father for the the gifts that he has given you and continues to give to you! Dear Heavenly Father, We thank you for all the good and perfect gifts that you give to us everyday. We thank you for the strength you give to us to face whatever challenge will come our way. Thank you for all your love and devotion to us, even when we do not follow your ways. THE REV. TRACEY ZIMMERMAN serves youth at the Pleasant Lake United Methodist Church.

The Bryan, Ohio Church of Christ donated hymnals. “God has blessed me to be a part of this great work and Jerusalem will continue to be in my prayers as I follow Christ to a new work in Texas,” said Hammond.

False interpreter may have faced murder charge JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s government was confronted Friday with a new and chilling allegation about the bogus sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s memorial: He was reportedly accused of murder 10 years ago. Officials said they were investigating the revelation by the national eNCA TV news station. But they were unable, or unwilling, to explain why a man who says he is schizophrenic with violent tendencies was allowed to get within arm’s length of President Barack Obama and other world leaders. Investigators probing Thamsanqa Jantjie “will
compile a comprehensive report,” said Phumla Williams, the top government spokeswoman. But she did not say how long the investigation would take and insisted details would not be released until it was completed. “We are not going to sweep it under the carpet,” Williams said. “We want to own up if there is a mistake, but we don’t want to be dishonest” to Jantjie. An Associated Press reporter found Jantjie at a makeshift bar on the outskirts of Soweto Friday, not far from his concrete house close to shacks and an illegal dump where goats pick at grass between the trash. Asked about the
murder allegation, Jantjie turned and walked away without saying anything. A day earlier, he told the AP that he had been violent “a lot” in the past, has schizophrenia and hallucinated during the Mandela memorial that angels were descending into the stadium. He also apologized for his performance, but defended his interpreting as “the best in the world.” His assertion was ridiculed by deaf advocates who said he didn’t know how to sign “Mandela” or “thank you.” The outcome of the reported murder case that eNCA said dated from 2003 was unclear, and the television report did not disclose
any details. Officials at the Johannesburg court where the murder charge was reportedly lodged were not in their offices Friday afternoon and did not respond to email requests seeking comment. There were no records of a murder case involving Jantjie at South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority, but spokesman Nathi Mncube said that doesn’t necessarily mean Jantjie was never a suspect. “I cannot confirm that the guy was charged, but I cannot deny it, either,” he said. “There are no records right now.” Jantjie also faced other lesser criminal charges in the past, eNCA reported.

elections next year. The U.S. assistant secretary of state for African affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said Friday that “we’re all very upset” about Jantjie, who was just 3 feet from Obama at the memorial service for Mandela, who died Dec. 5 at 95. Thomas-Greenfield told reporters in Kenya that U.S. officials are concerned about security and how Jantjie could have gotten so close to world leaders. She said officials were also dismayed because people watching around the world who needed sign language weren’t able to understand what was said at the ceremony.

an interview with the AP, he blamed his past violent episodes on his schizophrenia, but declined to provide details. The fiasco surrounding the use of Jantjie to provide sign language translation before a worldwide television audience has turned into an international embarrassment for South Africa, whose ruling party, the African National Congress, and president, Jacob Zuma, have already lost popularity because of corruption scandals and other public grievances. But the ANC is far more powerful than the opposition and Zuma, who was booed at the Mandela memorial, is likely to be its candidate in

School workers plead not guilty in Ohio rape case STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Four eastern Ohio school workers entered not guilty pleas Friday to charges stemming from a grand jury investigation into other alleged crimes spurred by the rape of a 16-yearold girl by two high school football players. The four include Mike McVey, Steubenville’s top school official, whose attorney promised to fight the charges. “We are confident that we are going to prevail in these cases and prove they’re unfounded,” said McVey’s attorney, Charles Bean. “This was an investigation that went nine months, and this is all they have?”
Special Judge Patricia Ann Cosgrove accepted the not-guilty pleas Friday in Jefferson County court and let the four remain free without bond. In total, six individuals have been indicted by the rape investigation grand jury, whose work is finished. McVey and three others are charged with trying to thwart the investigation into the August 2012 rape of the West Virginia girl by the football players. The players were convicted in March and sentenced to the state’s juvenile detention system. McVey is Steubenville’s superintendent. The others are former Steubenville
schools’ technology director William Rhinaman, football team strength coach Seth Fluharty and volunteer football coach Matt Belardine. A fifth defendant, elementary school principal Lynnett Gorman, is accused of failing to report possible child abuse, apparently involving a teen sex and drinking party in April 2012 unrelated to the West Virginia girl’s rape, her attorney, Dennis McNamara, said after the hearing. “None of this has anything to do with her job,” said McNamara, who added that Gorman learned about the party second- or third-hand while checking
to see if her son had been involved. According to a Steubenville police report, a possible sexual assault of a minor sometime in April 2012 was reported to police on Sept. 3, 2012, after the allegations involving the other girl emerged. A sixth defendant, Hannah Rhinaman, is the daughter of William Rhinaman. She is accused of stealing school equipment in an alleged crime investigated by the grand jury but unrelated to the rape case. The football players’ rape of the 16-year-old girl drew nationwide attention because of allegations that prosecutors should have

charged more people. McVey’s charges include felony counts of obstructing justice and tampering with evidence and a misdemeanor charge alleging he made a false statement in April 2012. Belardine, whose house authorities said was the scene of the underage drinking party that preceded the rape last summer, faces several misdemeanor charges. Fluharty was charged with failing to report possible child abuse in August 2012. William Rhinaman is charged with evidence tampering, obstructing justice, obstructing official business and perjury.

Damina Reynolds had his heart set on a toy firetruck, but also opted for an Angry Birds hat with Steuben County Sheriff’s Deputy Adam Miller. “He’s looking for gloves, pants and shirts,” Miller said. Owen Phibbs was also looking for pants, shoes and warm gloves with Angola Police Officer Clay Rust. Pink was a popular color for girls’ clothing. “I have a couple of Barbies to play in a house,” said Hayley Bowers who teamed with Angola Patrolman Darin

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Lance Stephenson had 20 points and 11 rebounds to help the Indiana Pacers improve their franchise-record home start to 11-0 with a 99-94 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night. Center Roy Hibbert added 18 points and 11 rebounds as Indiana overcame an off night from Paul George, who had 10 points on 2-of-12 shooting in the Pacers’ first game since defeating the two-time defending champion Miami Heat on Wednesday night in a rematch of last season’s Eastern Conference Finals. George entered the contest averaging 24.7 points a game. Al Jefferson had 21 points and nine rebounds for the Bobcats, who extended their losing streak in Indiana to eight games. Charlotte was trying to win on the Pacers’ home court for the first time since Nov. 28, 2008.
Stephenson added seven assists and David West scored 14 points, George Hill had 13 and Luis Scola 11 for Indiana (20-3). Rasual Butler, playing his most significant minutes (23:47) of the season, scored eight points on 3-of-5 shooting. The Pacers led 56-55 at halftime, but trailed by 90-89 after Gerald Henderson sank a 15-foot jump shot with 5:17 left in the fourth quarter. Stephenson’s layup made it 91-90 with 4:18 to play and Indiana never trailed again. PACERS-BOBCATS NOTES: The Pacers host the Pistons on Monday night before their grudge match next Wednesday at Miami. … The game was a homecoming of sorts for Cody Zeller, the Bobcats’ No. 4 pick in the recent draft and a former Indiana standout. Zeller, who entered the game averaging 5.3 points and 4.2 rebounds, had seven points in 18:59.

BRUSHY PRAIRIE — The icing was just a little bit sweeter on the birthday cupcake for Prairie Heights coach Jennifer Holden Friday. The tasty treat came on the heels of the Panthers’ 68-46 Northeast Corner Conference win over the Eastside Blazers. “We’ve been kind of timid offensively, and I’ve been on McKenzie Kain all year, ‘You’ve got to shoot, you’ve got to shoot,’ because she’s got a great shot,” Holden said. “Tonight, she just finally got that confidence to put it up.” Put it up Kain did, nailing 5-of-6 three-point tries to score 22 points.

first quarter, but led all scorers with 26, with many of her points coming on second-chance opportunities. Carbone added a team-high 13 rebounds as Prairie Heights held a 35-29 advantage in that category. “Everybody was more confident tonight, and we had different people step up tonight,” Holden said. “It was a good night. “They did a nice job of seeing each other, getting the ball up the floor and keeping their heads up,” she added. “I couldn’t be happier.” The Panthers improved to 5-5 overall, and 2-3 in conference play. Eastside (0-7 overall, 0-4 NECC) came out in a trapping defense that slowed Prairie Heights initially. SEE PANTHERS, PAGE B2

ANGOLA — A short-handed Angola boys basketball team fought a solid Northridge squad hard Friday night. But the Raiders had a little more offense in a 49-37 victory. The Hornets (3-1) were without one of their top scoring options in senior Aaron Lloyd with what coach Ed Bentley called a minor knee injury. Senior role player Trevor Lynch was not available either. Bentley said Lloyd will be ready for Angola’s next game this coming Friday at home against perennial Northeast Corner Conference power Westview. Foul trouble and small flurries of turnovers hampered the Hornets Friday. But they overcame that for much of the night with effort and defense. “It’s hard to simulate their pressure. But our young guys gained some experience,” Bentley said. “I was pleased with their competitive drive. “Northridge is very good, but I’ll challenge anybody (with my guys),” he added. “They play hard. We had foul trouble and
missed spots in our rotation. But you can’t fix heart and passion. We’re going to defend and that’s not going to change. I’m tickled to death.” Angola cut a nine-point third-quarter deficit down to three late in the stanza with an inexperienced five on the floor, including sophomore Hunter Kohart and freshmen Jake Honer and Myles Turner. Hornet senior Kent Kohart hit a three-pointer with a little over a minute left in the quarter to bring his team within three at 30-27. That was the score heading into the final quarter. Then Northridge (5-0) turned takeaways into buckets to start the fourth. That began a 10-0 run which put the Raiders in front at 40-27 with about 5 1/2 minutes left. Angola had three turnovers in the first 55 seconds of the fourth quarter and ended up with 20 turnovers for the game. The Raiders’ length and trapping half-court defense created problems for the Hornets. Angola only shot 33 percent from the floor (14-42).

Eagles might prefer to be playing outside MINNEAPOLIS — The Eagles can be assured of one warming thought as they head to Minneapolis this weekend: There won’t be 6 inches of snow on the field. Nope, the game will be indoors. Not that Philadelphia would mind playing in inclement weather after its 34-20 victory over Detroit in blizzard-like conditions last Sunday. Seems odd, doesn’t it, that the team at a disadvantage in wintry weather in this matchup hails from Minnesota. “I don’t think we need to take our rain gear,” offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said. No, as long as the Eagles bring LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson and Nick Foles on offense, operating behind that suddenly powerful line, they should
be in good shape — in the Metrodome or on the tundra outside. “Yeah, I wonder, they’ve put up some numbers on snow,” Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said, noting McCoy’s franchise-record 217 yards rushing against the Lions. “For a back to be able to run like against Detroit, I think they have a pretty good front, it’s pretty impressive. Now you get him on a fast track, you wonder is that a good thing or a bad thing? We’ll have to find a way to slow him down.” Minnesota’s star running back Adrian Peterson, the 2012 league MVP, has a sprained right foot. The Vikings (3-9-1) have an even bigger challenge if he can’t go against the ever-improving Philly defense. The Eagles (8-5) have won five of their last six
against Minnesota and they are 5-1 on the road this season. They’ve also won their last five outings to move to the top of the NFC East. Week 15 began with an upset as San Diego handled Denver 27-20. Philip Rivers threw for two scores to rookie Keenan Allen and kept the Chargers’ offense on the field for nearly 39 minutes. Stuck on the sideline most of the night, Peyton Manning ended up with 289 yards and only two touchdowns. The Broncos (11-3) fell at home in the regular season for the first time in 14 games. The Chargers (7-7) snapped Denver’s 10-game AFC West winning streak and stayed in the hunt for a playoff spot. On Monday night, Baltimore is at Detroit.
HEIGHTS: Blazers come away with JV victory FROM PAGE B1
Once the Panthers solved it and got the ball across half-court, Kain went around the perimeter with three bombs in the opening quarter as the hosts led 12-6 after one. The Blazers forged a 12-12 in the second following slashing scores by Kaci Shook and Brianna Moore and score in the paint by Maddy Minehart, but the Panthers scored the next seven, including another Kain bomb. After Eastside’s Moore scored from the lane, Carbone scored all eight points in the Panthers’ 8-0 run. Later, teammate Rene Lewis got in on the three-ball show with one from the wing, and Kain hit two free throws as Prairie Heights led 32-18 at halftime. The Panthers finished the game making 26-of-60 field goal tries (43 percent) and 7-of-16 (44 percent)

Haley Kleeberg contributed six rebounds and four points, Saige Dunafin added four assists, and Alicia Beechy had six points and three assists. Eastside got 24 points and 14 rebounds from Minehart. Ward added eight points and six rebounds. Blazer coach Shane Conwell declined comment after the game. Eastside hosts Lakewood Park Tuesday. Prairie Heights is at Churubusco Saturday.

HORNETS: Northridge takes freshman contest FROM PAGE B1
Senior Justin Davis led the Hornets with 12 points and eight rebounds despite being saddled with foul trouble for most of the night. Junior forward Robby Honer pitched in with 10 points and seven boards. Bentley will take those numbers from Honer in a regular basis, but was more impressed on how he defended Raider 6-foot-7 senior standout Nate Ritchie. Ritchie had 22 points, nine rebounds and three steals. But it was not a comfortable 22 points for the slashing forward against the 6-2 Honer. Ritchie is considered an NCAA Division I prospect, and IPFW men’s basketball coach Tony Jasick

Serge Ibaka added 19 points and 10 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the season and Reggie Jackson also scored 19 for Oklahoma City, which has won five straight and 13 of its past 14 games. The Thunder are unbeaten in 11 home games this season and have won four straight at home over the Lakers.

SPORTS BRIEFS • Tigers, Chamberlain set deal DETROIT (AP) — The Tigers have finalized their one-year deal with right-handed reliever Joba Chamberlain. Chamberlain joins a retooled bullpen that also includes free agent acquisition Joe Nathan. The hard-throwing Chamberlain, whose slide has been inconsistent in recent years, was 2-1 with one save in 45 games and a career-high 4.93 ERA last season for the New York Yankees. Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski indicated Friday that the team may not make any more major moves this offseason. The Tigers traded slugger Prince Fielder for second baseman Ian Kinsler last month, and their lineup figures to have less power and more speed next year. Chamberlain missed almost the entire month of May last season because of a strained right oblique. He was limited to 49 games over the previous two years because of elbow and ankle operations.

Food-tech startups aim to replace eggs and chicken SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The startup is housed in a garage-like space in San Francisco’s tech-heavy South of Market neighborhood, but it isn’t like most of its neighbors that develop software, websites and mobile-phone apps. Its mission is to find plant replacements for eggs. Inside, research chefs bake cookies and cakes, whip up batches of flavored mayonnaise and pan-fry omelets and French toast — all without eggs. Funded by prominent Silicon Valley investors and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Hampton Creek Foods seeks to disrupt a global egg industry that backers say wastes energy, pollutes the environment, causes disease outbreaks and confines chickens to tiny spaces. The company, which just started selling its first product — Just Mayo mayonnaise — at Whole Foods Markets, is part of a new generation of so-called food-tech ventures that aim to change the way we eat. “There’s nothing to indicate that this will be a trend that will end anytime

A technician holds a species of yellow pea used to make Just Mayo, a plant-based mayonnaise, at Hampton Creek Foods in San Francisco. Can plants replace eggs? A San Francisco startup backed by Bill Gates believes they can. Hampton Creek Foods is scouring the planet for plants that can replace eggs.
soon,� said Anand Sanwal, CEO of CB Insights, a New York firm that tracks venture capital investment. “Sustainability and challenges to
the food supply are pretty fundamental issues.� Venture capital firms, which invest heavily in early-stage technology
companies, poured nearly $350 million into food-related startups last year, compared with less than $50 million in 2008, according to the firm. Plant-based alternatives to eggs, poultry and other meat could be good for the environment because it could reduce consumption of meat, which requires large amounts of land, water and crops to produce, backers say. It could also benefit people’s health, especially in heavy meat-eating countries like the U.S., and reduce outbreaks of diseases such as avian flu, they say. “The biggest challenge is that people who consume a lot of meat really like meat, and to convince them to try something different may be extremely difficult,� said Claire Kremen, faculty co-director of the Berkeley Food Institute at the University of California, Berkeley. The American Egg Board, which represents U.S. producers, said eggs can’t be replaced. “Our customers have said they’re not interested in egg substitutes. They want real, natural eggs with their

familiar ingredients,� Mitch Kanter, executive director of the board-funded Egg Nutrition Center, said in a statement. The industry has reduced its water use and greenhouse gas emissions, and hens are living longer due to better health and nutrition, he said. Hampton Creek’s quest to replace the ubiquitous chicken egg is also backed by PayPay co-founder Peter Thiel and Khosla Ventures, a venture capital fund started by Sun Microsystems co-founder Vinod Khosla. In its food lab, biochemists grind up beans and
peer through microscopes to study their molecular structure, looking for plants that can fulfill the culinary functions of eggs. So far, the company has analyzed some 1,500 types of plants from more than 60 countries. The research has resulted in 11 “hits,� said Josh Tetrick, the company’s CEO. “Our approach is to use plants that are much more sustainable — less greenhouse gas emissions, less water, no animal involved and a whole lot more affordable — to create a better food system,� said the former linebacker on West Virginia University’s football team. The company’s first product — the mayonnaise — is sold for roughly the same price as the traditional variety. It soon hopes to start selling cookie dough and a batter that scrambles like eggs when fried in a pan. “The egg is a miracle, so one of the hardest parts of replacing it is all the functions that it can do,� said Chris Jones, the company’s culinary director of innovations and a former contestant on Bravo TV’s Top Chef.
Soybean exports The great Christmas tree debate revisited reach record highs in 2013 ST. LOUIS – The U.S. soy industry has done it again, exporting an eye-popping 1.7 billion bushels of U.S. soy to customers around the world in the 2012-13 marketing year, which ended Sept. 30. The value of these exports comes to a record of more than $28 billion, a 19 percent increase from 2011-2012. The final figures show farmers continue to meet customer demand for a reliable supply of quality products. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, this total includes more than 1.3 billion bushels of whole U.S. soybeans, meal from 454 million bushels of U.S. soybeans and oil from 186 million bushels, which represents 56 percent of U.S. soybean production from last year. “The reliability and quality of the U.S. soy supply are just a few reasons that customers keep buying U.S. soybeans, meal and oil,� says Jared Hagert, soybean farmer from Emerado, N.D., and United Soybean Board (USB) farmer-leader. “Continuing to meet our customers’ needs is very important to
U.S. soybean farmers, and these numbers prove we are doing that.� Soy exports for the 2013-2014 marketing year are off to a good start with 87 percent of the total 2014 export forecasts already sold. • Top buyers of whole U.S. soybeans in 2013 include: China: 772 million bushels of U.S. soybeans Mexico: 98 million bushels of U.S. soybeans Japan: 63 million bushels of U.S. soybeans • Top buyers of U.S. soybean meal in 2013 include: Mexico: meal from 59 million bushels of U.S. soybeans Philippines: meal from 47 million bushels of U.S. soybeans Canada: meal from 43 million bushels of U.S. soybeans • Top buyers of U.S. soybean oil in 2013 include: China: oil from 37 million bushels of U.S. soybeans Mexico: oil from 35 million bushels of U.S. soybeans India: oil from 21 million bushels of U.S. soybeans
This article by Andrew Casler was featured in the Ithaca Journal last week, and I thought it brings up an interesting debate many of my friends and I have each year. I ask ELYSIA So you: What of RODGERS kind Christmas tree decorates your home each year, live or artificial? Americans buy more live Christmas trees than artificial ones, according to National Christmas Tree Association statistics. In 2012, 24.5 million live trees were sold versus 10.9 million artificial trees sold. Of the U.S. households that displayed Christmas trees in 2012, however, 83 percent had an artificial tree, according to the American Christmas Tree Association. The difference is attributed to an artificial tree not requiring replacement each season. And that sets up the debate of which is the better choice: Live trees support American farmers, while artificial trees mostly come from overseas manufacturers. Artificial trees don’t need to be watered. Live trees make your home smell like fresh evergreen. Artificial trees don’t shed needles on the floor. Tree farms support the maintenance of

green space and preserve some animal habitat. Transporting an artificial tree from the store is easier, they’re quick to set up, and they last for years. With childhood memories of sleigh rides at a Christmas tree farm and a love for the smell of a fresh holiday tree, Elizabeth Lamb, a plant scientist at Cornell Cooperative Extension, is a stalwart for live trees. Lamb said tree farms are one of the best examples of New York state agri-tourism. Farms can offer train, sleigh or hay rides, bonfires or wood stoves, visits with Santa and reindeer, and other ways to make a day of choosing a tree, she said. Buying a tree grown locally keeps money in your hometown economy, Lamb
added. “It’s just a lot more fun to go out and get your own tree,� said Lamb, a Danby resident. “So much of this is personal opinion, and it’s what you grew up with.� Cutting through the debate, one trade group says both tree types are great. The American Christmas Tree Association is a nonprofit organization representing artificial Christmas tree retailers and real Christmas tree retailers. “We advocate the use of Christmas trees, the more the merrier,� said ACTA executive director Jami Warner, of Los Angeles. “It doesn’t matter what kind of Christmas tree, real or artificial, as long as people are purchasing and enjoying Christmas trees. That’s good for the industry.� For sustainability,
Warner said parts of artificial trees can be recycled when their useful life is over. The plastic trees don’t biodegrade, however. Lamb said that municipalities may collect live trees and turn them into mulch. She also pointed to Florida, which sinks old Christmas trees to make ocean habitat. Moving the needle toward further sustainability, some tree farms sell Christmas trees with roots bagged in burlap. The bagged trees, typically younger and smaller than an average cut Christmas tree, can be decorated for the holiday and planted outside when the ground thaws. Bob Hunt, owner of Hunt’s Family Tree Farm, sells bagged Christmas trees. “We bought a tree spade in 1995, and we started digging live trees then,� he said. “There was a market for people who wanted trees for their yard; landscapers needed them.� After that, Hunt’s Christmas tree customers started buying live trees. Warner said ACTA sponsored an analysis of live and artificial trees’ impact on the environment. “It’s a wash between real and artificial trees, from an environmental standpoint,� Warner said. “Neither tree has a significant impact on the environment.� ELYSIA RODGERS is the agriculture and natural resources director for the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service in DeKalb County.
Help offered in marestail battle WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue and Ohio State University Extension have partnered to publish a new fact sheet aimed at helping farmers battle herbicide-resistant marestail and its yield-reducing affects on soybeans. Marestail, also referred to as horseweed, primarily emerges in late summer into fall and again from late-March through June in both Indiana and Ohio. The weed competes with soybean plants for soil nutrients, space and water. Mature marestail also can hinder soybean harvest, and it doesn’t respond to treatment from one of the most commonly used herbicides. “Most populations of marestail in Ohio and Indiana are resistant to glyphosate, and will not be controlled by burndown or post-emergence applications of glyphosate alone,� said Mark Loux, Ohio State Extension weed scientist. Glyphosate resistance means farmers need to pay extra special attention to herbicide application timing so they can try to control marestail during early growth stages when it’s most treatable. It also means soybean growers likely will need to use a cocktail of other herbicides to achieve marestail control. “We continue to struggle with marestail control, so we need to emphasize that it’s a multistep process,� Johnson said. “Soybean growers need to plan a two-pass burndown system with an application in
fall followed by another in spring, or an application in early spring followed by another at planting. “Burndown treatments have to be done before soybeans emerge. Once soybeans emerge, it’s too late.� In addition to the problems with herbicide resistance, marestail is hard to control because it reproduces easily and quickly. According to Johnson and Loux, marestail plants can produce up to 200,000 seeds that are transported by wind, spreading herbicide-resistant populations. The plant is most easily controlled when it’s still in the seedling or rosette stage, so farmers need to apply burndown herbicides before marestail reaches the stem elongation period. The weed overwinters in the rosette stage and remains there through late April when stem elongation, or bolting, starts. Marestail can grow to heights of 3-6 feet and plants that emerge in the fall will start bolting earlier than the springemerging plants, Johnson said. But it’s the spring-emerging plants that cause the most problems for many eastern Corn Belt soybean producers. “Spring-emerging marestail has been the most problematic to manage in the southern half of Ohio and Indiana — especially the plants that emerge in May and June,� he said.

Celebrity hypocrites I’m annoyed that so many Hollywood celebrities hate the system that made them rich. Actor/comedian Russell Brand told the BBC he wants “a socialist, egalitarian system based on the massive redistribution of wealth.” Director George Lucas got rich not just from movies but also by selling Star Wars merchandise. Yet he says he believes in democracy but “not capitalist democracy.” Actor Martin Sheen says, “That’s where the problem lies … It’s corporate America.” And so on. On my TV show, actor/ Kevin Sorbo pointed JOHN author out that such sentiments little sense coming STOSSEL make from entertainers. “It’s a very entrepreneurial business. You have to work very hard to get lucky, mixed with any kind of talent to get a break in this business. I told Clooney, George, you’re worth $100 million — of course you can afford to be a socialist!” It’s bad enough that celebrities trash the only economic system that makes poor people’s lives better. What’s worse is that many are hypocrites. Celebrities who support big-government politicians routinely take advantage of tax breaks, which reduce the amount they contribute to that government. It’s nice that Obama supporter Bon Jovi has a foundation that builds houses for poor people, but at tax time, the musician labels himself a “farmer.” He pays only $100 in state property tax. And his tax dodge gimmick: raising honeybees. Bruce Springsteen sings about factories closing down but pays little tax on the hundreds of acres of land he owns. His dodge: An organic farmer works his land. Hollywood’s campaign to “save the earth” brings out the most hypocrisy. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently announced, “I will fly around the world doing good for the environment.” Really? Flying around the world? I’m amazed they’re not embarrassed by what they say. Maybe they don’t know how clueless they are because reporters rarely confront them about their hypocrisy. Hollywood reporters want access to celebrities, and posing uncomfortable questions reduces access. To fill the gap, Jason Mattera, author of “Hollywood Hypocrites,” confronts hypocritical celebrities. He and his cameraman located Harrison Ford after the actor had himself filmed getting his chest hair waxed. Ford said the pain of ripping out his chest hair should make us think about the pain the earth feels when trees in a rainforest are cut down. Chest hair, rain forest — get it? But that environmental message came from a celebrity who owns seven airplanes. Ford once even flew his private jet to get a cheeseburger! “I don’t care that he owns seven airplanes,” said Mattera, “but do not lecture the rest of us that we’re on the precipice of global warming Armageddon while you have a Sasquatch-sized carbon footprint.” Even though Ford ignored Mattera when confronted by him, at least he was forced to listen to someone questioning his positions. Some actors wake up to the burden of big government when they try doing something outside acting. Actors usually collect a paycheck. They rarely deal with government regulation; their agent handles the details. When actor and lifelong Democrat Rob Schneider tried launching a business, he was so offended by California’s burdensome regulation that he left the state and changed political parties. Arnold Schwarzenegger was enthusiastic about free markets when he owned a bricklaying business. But, unfortunately, during his time as California governor, he started to act more like a supporter of big government. Being a politician has that effect on people, especially in California. Actors Drew Carey and Vince Vaughn are among the few others who’ve seen the light. On ReasonTV, Carey said, “We don’t need a centralized government to tell us what to do all the time.” On a radio show, Vaughn recently said, “I’m very supportive of Ron Paul … As you get older … you just get less trust in the government running anything. If you look at the Constitution and the principles of liberty, the real purpose of government is to protect the individual’s right.” Hooray for Carey and Vaughn. Maybe they’ll convince their colleagues.

Recent polls show the president’s approval rating has tumbled into the 30s and continues to drop like a stone. The number of citizens who trust Barack Obama to tell the truth and manage the government is equally dismal. It must be especially galling to the White House that former President George W. Bush’s approval rating, for the first time ever, is higher than this president’s. What happened? The most immediate cause is clearly the disastrous failings of the Obamacare website. To his chagrin, the president, who likes to compare himself with Abraham Lincoln, found that on its first day of operation the Obamacare website enrolled fewer than four score and seven applicants. That’s a joke, and the electorate knows it. To add further to the president’s discomfiture, on two separate occasions HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius saw the Obamacare website crash just as she was showing it off to carefully selected audiences. In these early days of December, we will soon know how closely the administration’s promise
matches reality. There’s no question that a private company — Amazon, for example — that fielded such a miserable excuse for a website would flounder faster than you could say, “Site down, please try later.” The difference? Government agencies are almost expected to be wasteful and unproductive. Private companies, on the other hand, exist for two reasons — to provide desirable goods and services at affordable prices, and to earn profits for their shareholders. They are managed responsibly, or they go out of business. Beyond the problems of a Homer Simpson website, the president’s repeated assurances that Obamacare would permit us to keep our present doctors and insurance policies have proven to be, in Churchill’s memorable phrase, “a terminological inexactitude.” Or, as the scorned masses in flyover country would say, a lie. How did we come by such a leader? There’s little doubt that Mr. Obama’s race was an important factor in his first electoral victory. To their credit, many voters saw Mr. Obama’s candidacy as a chance to repent as a nation for the racial sins inflicted upon black Americans. It was a noble impulse, but it focused solely upon the color of the candidate’s skin, while ignoring the content of his character. The media, however, in consort with the p.c. thought
police, instantly labeled as “racist” anyone who dared to suggest that Mr. Obama’s qualifications needed looking into. Those qualifications, to put it gently, were almost nonexistent. Barack Obama burst forth from the seamy world of Chicago politics with little to recommend him but an undistinguished record as an Illinois state senator, and he sailed into the U.S. Senate and through the maelstrom of presidential politics on a bright wave of fuzzy rhetoric. His oratory, delivered with the fervor of a tent evangelist and complemented with an on-again, off-again, folksy accent, made the media swoon. The difficulty, though few dared to say it at the time, was that Mr. Obama, for all his dash and charisma, had never governed or managed anything in his entire life. Whether Mr. Obama can reclaim the country’s trust and admiration is highly uncertain. His countrymen can only hope that somehow the President will rely upon the better angels of his nature, such as he may summon, to awaken him to his sworn duties, and to help him set aside his malignant narcissism long enough to become the kind of president that so many of us wish he would choose to be.

It’s time to wish upon a Christmas star With the pumpkins tossed into the old garden and the forlorn Pilgrim packed away with Thanksgiving memories, I am ready to make merry and decorate this old house. Kathy and I borrow Aaron’s truck and drive out to Gary Stroh’s for apples and our Christmas trees. It is cold on this afternoon as we follow Gary among the small tree forest he has created for wanderers such as us. There are other families as well, only they seem to find their trees quicker than we do. Gary holds the trees up one by one while intermittently going into the shop to sell apples and cider, but always returning. We finally find our trees, and I laugh at the two of us tramping through his little forest much like the Baldwin sisters from “The Waltons.” Gary saws the bottom off the trees and we both save ours. I use mine as a token of thankfulness. When I have a table full of friends we pass around the Christmas tree piece and each one in turn shares a story, a poem or a prayer. Gary puts the trees into the truck, and we go in to pay, gathering up apples as well. This is my first year to buy my tree from Gary. Without family, it felt a little lonely to go out to Booth’s. We buy poinsettias from Rural King and head on home. Kathy and I haul her tree up to the porch. I insist that I can handle mine alone. Oh, how wrong I am. Hmm … now when was the last time I carried a tree into my house? Usually my boys do it for me so it is no wonder I carried it apex first through my front door. The first half of the tree fits nicely under the old lintel, but then we (the tree and I) are stuck. I pull and pull as in the Russian tale of the enormous turnip. With branches snapping off and almost losing my front door as
well, I finally get it inside. Just then Aaron shows up at my door and the two of us put it in the stand. He can’t stay as he has plans with his family. I decorate alone. I haul down boxes of lights and antique ornaments and find little notes hidden among the treasures. These notes are hand written to Santa in days of yore and Santa’s returned messages. I must cry. There is no other way. LOU ANN I give myself permission to about those days on HOMAN- think the farm with three little SAYLOR tow-headed boys and the merriment we all enjoyed. The rest of the house receives bows and lights and, in the end, all is well. School finishes with a flurry this week with finals and saying farewell to my classes. These young people have amazed me this semester … their youth, their enthusiasm, their humor. I believe it is true that students can teach us more than we will ever teach them. I bring in Tom’s doughnuts to the early morning finals and return projects and such. We do our work and finish all the tasks, except for one final event. I tell them to put on their winter garb (they were warned ahead of time!) and we head out to the courtyard. It is 7 degrees in one class. In the other class the snow falls like feathers from the sky. We make a circle and I pull out the last of the poetry books and read to them. I tell them about the movie “Dead Poets Society” with Robin Williams. They are cold, but they listen in the silence of the morning to e.e.

• cummings, Robert Frost, Dylan Thomas and others. Curious students as well as last year’s students walk by; some stay to listen, but the cold gets them in the end and they meander off. We are all cold, but I don’t want them to forget this class so I must end with a memory. It is finally time to let them go. I thank them for their good work, for Poe night, and we say farewell. I run errands in town and arrive home at dusk. I plug in all the lights in this old house. Memories from the past haunt our every move, but this is the day we are given. With the tea kettle whistling on the stove, I find the end piece from my Christmas tree and make a wish upon the Christmas star.

She is a storyteller, teacher, writer, actress and a collector of front porch stories.

Girl’s doubts put her at odds with parents DEAR ABBY: I’m 16 and come from a devout Roman Catholic family. My parents have taken my brother and me to church every Sunday without fail my entire life. We pray before meals, before school, at bedtime and at other times every day. My room is filled with religious objects. As far as I know, everyone else in my extended family is equally fervent. My problem is, I have never felt very religious. Since I was 10 I have challenged the teachings of the church and, as I mature into adulthood, I’m beginning to identify as agnostic. When I told my parents, at first they were angry and disappointed. Then they told me I was “just going through a phase.” I know this is more than a phase. It’s a personal belief of mine they have been trying to bury my

have minimized your feelings by saying they are only a phase because it was dismissive. That said, you must not allow their devout faith — and your lack of it — to become a contest of wills or a basis for argument. This is an important time in your life with your parents as you enter adulthood. Thank them for the great foundation they have given you. Tell them you hope they will continue to love you as you explore what your beliefs are on this spiritual journey — because it IS a journey. The opposite of faith is not doubt; it is certainty.

CPR is a combination of chest compressions, artificial respiration and defibrillation. In artificial respiration, air is squeezed through a mask placed over your mouth and nose to move air in and out of your lungs. Defibrillation delivers an electric shock to your body. This can restart your heart if it has stopped beating. The next step is advanced cardiac life support, including mechanical ventilation. • Mechanical ventilation.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m drawing up a living will, but I don’t understand many of the medical terms I’m encountering. Can you help? DEAR READER: Many people, certainly including me, have asked themselves how they would want to be cared for if they became very sick and unable to speak for themselves. The two most common ways of doing that are to designate one trusted person, such as your spouse, who knows your wishes to make decisions for you — a health care proxy. Another is for you to write a living will. In a living will, you specify how you want to be cared for. A living will is used to determine how aggressive you would like your medical treatments to be as the end of life nears. I’ll explain several terms that you probably are seeing in a draft living will. As you read, think about whether you would, or would not, want
entire life. I can’t continue letting them ignore the real me. The stress of constantly having to lie to my parents about my faith is tearing me apart to the point that it interferes with my DEAR schooland ABBY work social life. How can I convince Jeanne Phillips them that this isn’t a phase, and that I’m not the Catholic girl they want me to be? If they continue to refuse to acknowledge my religious beliefs, who can I turn to for support? — AGNOSTIC DEAR AGNOSTIC: Your parents should not
into the trachea (windpipe). Mechanical ventilation can be used short-term as a bridge to recovery, or long-term. • Organ-sustaining treatment. This is a set of drugs, medical procedures and machines that can keep you alive for an indefinite period of time. Mechanical ventilation is one common example. Another is kidney dialysis, a machine that cleans toxins out of your blood when your kidneys cannot do the job. Such treatments cannot cure a terminal condition. I’m like most people: I didn’t exactly look forward to drawing up a will or a living will. But I saw the burden that not having done so caused the families of my friends and patients. That convinced me to do it. DR. KOMAROFF is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. His website is AskDoctorK.com.
