Man killed by train stopped on tracks GOOD MORNING Bennett pitching Common Core tests INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Indiana Schools Superintendent Tony Bennett is back in the public eye, helping to pitch a Common Core test to state education leaders four months after he resigned as Florida’s schools chief in the midst of a school grade-change scandal. ACT spokesman Ed Colby said Friday that Bennett will help the company pitch its Aspire test throughout the states, but deferred specific questions to Aspire’s president. ACT is more widely known for its college-entry tests administered throughout the Midwest. But it also is among many testing companies looking to sell tests to states that have adopted Common Core standards.

KENDALLVILLE — “Why� is the one question investigators cannot answer regarding the tragic death of Ray Sills. The 41-year-old Kendallville man, confined to a wheelchair, was killed Tuesday, Oct. 15, when he was struck by a train on the Main Street railroad crossing. This week, Kendallville Police Chief Rob Wiley and detective Lance Waters released results of the police department investigation into Sills’ death. Norfolk Southern

Police and Noble County Coroner Joan Cripe also participated in the investigation. Cripe ruled in October that Sills died from blunt-force trauma. Sills, who suffered from cerebral palsy, often traveled on city sidewalks and crossed the railroad tracks many times in his battery-powered wheelchair. Investigators have concluded that at about 5:15 p.m. on Oct. 15, Sills started across the tracks despite the crossing gates being down, red signals flashing and bells ringing, indicating an

approaching train. The engineer was blowing the train’s whistle, something trains passing through Kendallville must do when approaching railway crossings. “He intentionally entered onto the tracks when warning devices were on, and there was no indication he attempted to get out of the way,� Wiley said about Sills. He added that Sills stopped in his wheelchair before the train struck him. Norfolk Southern Police shared video footage from a camera on

the lead train engine with Kendallville Police Wiley said it clearly shows what happened, adding, “For an unknown reason, he did not attempt to move away from in front of the train.� Investigators examined the crossing and tracks and interviewed witnesses to eliminate possible explanations for the tragedy. “There’s no indication from the evidence and the video that there was a malfunction in the wheelchair or the wheelchair got SEE TRACKS, PAGE A2

Students shot at school Stutzman votes yes on deal

Colorado youth wounds two, then 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 from a parking lot and started asking for the teacher by name, Robinson said. When the teacher learned that he was being targeted, he left “in an effort to try to encourage the shooter to also leave the school,� the sheriff said. “That was a very wise tactical decision.� Jessica Girard was in math class when she heard three shots. “Then there was a bunch of yelling, and then I think one of the people who had been shot was yelling in the hallway ‘Make it stop,’� she said.

Students comfort each other outside of Arapahoe High School after a shooting on the campus in Centennial, Colo., on Friday.

A suspected Molotov cocktail was also found inside the high school, the sheriff said. The bomb squad was investigating the device. Within 20 minutes of the first report of a gunman, officers found the suspect’s body inside the school, Robinson said. Several other Denver-area school districts went into lockdown as reports of the shooting spread. Police as far away as Fort Collins, about a two-hour drive north, stepped up school security. Arapahoe High students were seen walking toward the school’s running track with their hands

in the air, and television footage showed students being patted down. Robinson said deputies wanted to make sure there were no other conspirators. Authorities later concluded that the gunman had acted alone. Nearby neighborhoods were jammed with cars as parents sought out their children. Some parents stood in long lines at a church. One young girl who was barefoot embraced her parents, and the family began to cry. The shooting came a day before the anniversary of the Newtown, Conn., attack in which a gunman killed 20 children and six adults

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman 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 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.

East Noble goes quiet during ‘Hour of Code’ BY DENNIS NARTKER dnartker@kpcmedia.com

KENDALLVILLE — More than 1,200 East Noble High School students joined students from around the world this week for an Hour of Code during Computer Science Education Week. Friday morning during the first hour of classes, the high school hallways were quiet and vacant, but students weren’t taking exams or reading books. They were engaged in coding on their laptop computers. For one hour, they were computer programmers. “This could not be done if we didn’t have One-to-One,� said East Noble Principal Steve Peterson, who moved around the school building looking in on classrooms. At several stops, students were keyboarding to design Christmas cards and applications for smartphones and coding Angry Birds, a video game, to learn the science of computers. Students worked quietly on their own or helped each other with problems assigned by teachers, who offered guidance when needed. There were no instructors lecturing, no students flipping pages of textbooks and no one taking SEE CODE, PAGE A2

One-to-One is the East Noble School Corp.’s initiative started in the 2011-2012 school year to give every student access to a computing device — an iPod or iPad in the lower grades and laptops in the upper grades. Last week teachers viewed a video that explained the Hour of Code and offered online tutorials they could use to introduce their students to computer coding. Friday, students watched a short video featuring Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, NBA star Chris Bosh and Blackeyed Peas rock band founder will.i.am. “The Hour of Code is a campaign to prove that regardless of age, race or gender, anyone can learn how to not just consume, but build the technologies of the future,” said Peterson. He stopped by a Principles of Engineering and Introduction to Engineering Design class.

at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Arapahoe High stands just 8 miles east of Columbine High School in Littleton, where two teenage shooters killed 12 classmates and a teacher before killing themselves in 1999. The practice of sending law enforcement directly into an active shooting, as was done Friday, was a tactic that developed in response to the Columbine shooting. Since Columbine, Colorado has endured other mass shootings, including the killing of 12 people in a movie theater in nearby Aurora in 2012. But it was not until after the Newtown massacre that state lawmakers moved to enact stricter gun-control laws. Two Democratic lawmakers were recalled from office earlier this year for backing the laws, and a third recently resigned to avoid a recall election. The district attorney prosecuting the theater

The device had light and sound sensors and was capable of carrying a video camera. “We’re programming these to do what we want them to do,” Brown said. All four students said they plan to study engineering in college. “This movement, organized by Code.org and supported by Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and over 100 others, is a statement that today’s generation of students is ready to learn critical skills for 21st century success,” Peterson said about the Hour of Code. “Some of our students can code.

Columbine, was standing outside Arapahoe High on Friday looking at her phone, reading text messages from her 15-year-old daughter inside. Monroe said she got the first text from her daughter, sophomore Jade Stanton, at 12:41 p.m. The text read,

“There’s sirens. It’s real. I love you.” A few minutes later, Jade texted “shots were fired in our school.” Monroe rushed to the school and was relieved when Jade texted that a police officer entered her classroom and she was safe.

I-65 to be widened LAFAYETTE (AP) — The state highway department is planning to widen an eight-mile section of Interstate 65 near Lafayette to three lanes in each direction. The project, which will add lanes to the highway between Indiana 38 and Indiana 25, is meant to relieve congestion on the heavily traveled route between Indianapolis and Chicago. The highway agency plans to seek bids on the project next fall, with completion expected in late 2016 or 2017, officials said. The new lanes for the estimated $69 million project will be built in the

existing highway median, so no property will need to be purchased. Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski said the additional lanes will help drivers in the area. “Getting six lanes in our urban area for people coming into and out of our community is a big deal,” he said. The project will be funded with money the Legislature budgeted this year for transportation improvements, said Alan Plunkett, the highway agency’s Crawfordsville district deputy commissioner.

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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration will continue the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs and cyber command operations under the direction of a single military commander, officials said Friday, the same day a review board sent the White House more than 40 recommendations on intelligence collection and government spying. The White House did not make the task force’s report public. Published reports Friday described the recommendations as limited in scope. Following revelations this summer about sweeping phone and Internet data collection in the U.S. and

around the world, the administration had considered splitting oversight of the NSA and the military’s Cyber Command unit. But National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said Friday the government believes that maintaining the oversight responsibilities together under one command is the most effective approach to accomplishing both agencies’ missions. Gen. Keith Alexander, the NSA’s director, currently oversees both the agency’s surveillance operations and Cyber Command, which monitors and responds to computer intrusions and espionage. Alexander is expected to

step down this spring. The administration’s decision means he will be replaced by another senior military commander instead of a civilian director, as recommended by some national security experts. Later Friday, the White House said the review group working under the Director of National Intelligence delivered its findings on NSA surveillance to President Barack Obama. The DNI’s Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technology held no public meetings and met several times with business and privacy groups out of the range of the media and public.

LIGONIER — If a basketball team wants to win, it helps if it holds their opponent scoreless in the first four minutes of the game as the West Noble girls discovered Friday night. The Chargers recorded a conference win over Churubusco by a 65-51 score in the West Noble gym. While Churubusco scored 39

points in the final two quarters, the Lady Eagles put only 12 points on the board in the first two quarters. West Noble, meanwhile, jumped off to an 11-0 start and never had to look back despite the second-half surge by ‘Busco. With the win, West Noble moved to 4-1 in the NECC and 6-3 overall. Churubusco dropped to 1-3 in the conference and 4-6 on the season. Eight different girls scored for West Noble, with Kelsie Peterson,

steals. “I just try to read them and I know my teammates will be there to pick up my girl, so I try to be a little more aggressive,” she said. Buckets didn’t come easy for the Knights (6-1, 2-0 NHC) either, even though the score would dictate otherwise. Friday night’s score was just the second time this season East Noble finished with less than 50 points.

In that opening run for West Noble, Peterson knocked down three field goals and a pair of free throws, while Shearer hit a pair of three-pointers in the first period.

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

KENDALLVILLE — East Noble continued its strong start to the girls’ basketball season with an easy 49-16 victory over Bellmont on Friday in the Big Blue Pit. It was a complete defensive effort from the Knights, who disarmed the young Squaws team right away. East Noble utilized its full-court press early and pushed Bellmont to hurry the ball down the court in a race against the backcourt 10-second rule. “We out-sized them, out-rebounded them and just were able to get some quick buckets out of the press. Our height helped us inside for sure, but (Bellmont’s) youth and inexperience against our defense and experience was a bigger factor,” EN coach DeAnn Booth said. The Knights forced five turnovers in the first quarter, as they built a 9-2 advantage through one. Kerri Schrock entertained with an in-bounds pass off a Bellmont player four minutes into the game to cap a 7-0 Knight run. Bellmont forward Meredith Werling scored to break up the streak with 3:46 remaining in the first. However, that score was the last for the Squaws for nearly 13 minutes. During that time, Bellmont gave away four turnovers and went 0-for-8 from the floor. It finished 7-of-34 overall. “Our defense is our key this year. We try to base our whole team on our defense and our offense will run off of that,” Schrock said. The Knight senior finished with four of the team’s 13

Pacers up home record to 11-0 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An off night from Paul George wasn’t enough to derail the Indiana Pacers. Lance Stephenson had 20 points and 11 rebounds and center Roy Hibbert added 18 points and 11 boards to help Indiana overcome an off night from George to improve their franchise-record home start to 11-0 with a 99-94 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday night. “I think he was in the flow for most of the game,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said of Stephenson. “Lance has great will, too. Lance made sure we had energy at both ends of the floor.” George, who entered the contest averaging 24.7 points a game, finished with 10 points on 2-of-12 shooting for Indiana (20-3). The 23 games are the fewest the Pacers have needed to reach 20 wins in franchise history,

beating the old mark set when they started 20-7 in 2003-04. That team finished 61-21, best in franchise history. Al Jefferson had 21 points and nine rebounds for the Bobcats (10-13), who extended their losing streak in Indiana to eight games. Charlotte hasn’t won on the Pacers’ home court 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. “That’s a good win against a good team that we have respect for,” Vogel said. “We understood this would be a battle of a game and it was.” The Pacers led 56-55 at halftime in their first game since

defeating the two-time defending champion Miami Heat on Wednesday night in a rematch of last season’s Eastern Conference Finals. They trailed by 90-89 after Gerald Henderson sank a 15-foot jump shot with 5:17 left in the fourth quarter, but Stephenson’s layup made it 91-90 with 4:18 to play. Indiana never trailed again though it was tight until the end. “We had them where we wanted,” Jefferson said. “We didn’t do a great job getting back on defense. We played a heck of a game. We had a chance there at the end to be exactly where we wanted to against a good team. We were right there.” Jefferson scored on a layup with 2:14 to pull Charlotte within 96-94, but two free throws by Hill and another by George with 8.1 seconds left sealed the victory. “They made a couple of free

throws and got it up to a five-point game, but we were right there with them,” Bobcats guard Gerald Henderson said. “They’re a good defensive team. They are a team that doesn’t let you get to the rim. So we tried to drag them out to the perimeter and then attack against them.” Though they failed to avenge a 25-point loss to the Pacers on Nov. 26 in Charlotte in the teams’ other meeting this season, the Bobcats accomplished one of their goals by shutting down George. Playing their fourthstraight game without Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (broken hand), the Bobcats called on Jeff Taylor to contain the Pacers’ star forward. “Jeff guarded him a lot,” Henderson said. “I guarded him. He’s a tough cover. He can score in every way. You have to play him physical without fouling. He missed a lot of shots tonight. He’ll

Tiffani Wilson came off the bench and led the Knights with 13 points. Kavan Edwards and Lanie Allen finished with seven each. Edwards also had a team-best eight rebounds. “We can bring those girls in at any time and get quality minutes out of them. That is one of the great things about our team… We are really deep, so we don’t lose a lot when our starters come off the floor,” Booth said. Next week’s schedule is loaded for the Knights with road games against Snider (Tuesday) and Columbia City (Dec. 21). Booth said the team would have to do a better job against the zone if it wishes to win next week. “We have the right idea at times, but we

go get 30 tomorrow.” Vogel took some of the blame for George’s off night. “He didn’t get a lot of clean looks. That’s on me,” Indiana’s coach said. PACERS-BOBCATS NOTES: The Pacers host the Pistons on Monday night before their grudge match Wednesday at Miami. The Bobcats play the Lakers on Saturday in Charlotte. … 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. … Pacers forward Danny Granger (calf injury) didn’t suit up after saying earlier this week he might play against Charlotte.

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.

Defending champions Perry, O’Hair share lead NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Defending champions Kenny Perry and Sean O’Hair shot an 8-under 64 in modified alternateshot play Friday for a share of the first-round lead in the Franklin Templeton Shootout. The teams of Matt Kuchar-Harris English and Charles Howell III-Justin Leonard also shot 64 on the Ritz Carlton Resort’s Tiburon course. The 24 teams will play better ball Saturday and finish with a scramble Sunday. Retief Goosen and Fredik Jacobson shot 67, and Jason Dufner and Dustin Johnson matched Chris DiMarco and Billy Horschel at 68. Tournament host Greg Norman and Jonas Blixt had a 72.

Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose share lead in Thailand CHONBURI, Thailand (AP) — Propelled by a hole in one, Sergio Garcia carded a 7-under 65 Friday to share the lead with Justin Rose halfway through the Thailand Championship. Garcia, who finished fourth last year, had a bogey-free round which included an ace on the 236-yard eighth hole. Their two-round tally was at 11-under 133, two strokes ahead of Anirban Lahiri (64), Alexander Levy (65) and Alex Cejka (71).

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

AP

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.

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. give myself permission to LOU ANN Ithink about those days on HOMAN- 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.

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.

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.
