Bennett pitchingCommon 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 specifi c 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, confi ned 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 indica-tion 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 Kendall-ville 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

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 fi rst 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 fl ipping pages of textbooks and no one taking

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.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — A teenager who may have had a grudge against a teacher opened fi re 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 unspecifi ed 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.
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 fi rst report of a gunman, offi cers 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

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. Seniors Jacob Brown, Nathan Wible and Tim Macon and sophomore Tanner Fought were working on computers and remote-controlled machines they had built from kits and programmed.
In a hallway outside the classroom, Brown demonstrated a remote-con-trolled tank he had built in
his free time after school. He used a wireless video game controller to move the battery-operated device up and down the hallway. 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. They are self-taught. This Hour of Code introduces all of our students to computer science and skills they can use in the future,” said Peterson.
According to the code.com website, 1.4 million jobs in computer program-ming will open over the next 10 years. Computer scientists write applications for phones, search for cures for diseases, create simulated movies, work on social media and build robots.
Peterson said he can foresee a time when computer science becomes a part of the high school course curriculum.

Library boardmember makescomments clear
KENDALLVILLE — Kendallville Public Library Board President Kem Prince is clarifying his comments reported in Thursday’s story headlined “Library pauses expansion effort.”
Prince said some ants had been discovered in the library basement, and an exterminator suggested the
ants may be coming through the foundation.
“We thought it would be best to investigate the issue before beginning the basement completion project,” Prince said in a email message. “It may be the issue is nothing more than routine pest control, but we want to make sure of that.”
Prince also said the project could be speeded up if clutter in the area was eliminated.

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 offi ce earlier this year for backing the laws, and a third recently resigned to avoid a recall election.
The district attorney prosecuting the theater
shooting, George Brauchler, lives near the high school. At a news conference, he urged anyone who needed help to call a counseling service and gave out a phone number.
Tracy Monroe, who had step-siblings who attended
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 fi rst 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 fi red in our school.” Monroe rushed to the school and was relieved when Jade texted that a police offi cer entered her classroom and she was safe.

caught in the rails,” Wiley said.
The video shows vehicles stopped for the crossing gates, and one driver who apparently noticed Sills got out of his car, but the collision happened in a split
second, said Waters. Video evidence shows the wheelchair was facing north and not parallel with the tracks, and it was on the pedestrian crossing and had not fallen off the edge, the investigators said.
A test showed no evidence of alcohol or drugs
in the train engineer’s blood, the investigators said.
The westbound freight train was 10,000 feet long and traveling 59 mph. It takes about a mile for a train of that length and moving that fast to come to a stop, according to Waters. The train stopped with the
lead engine nearing the S.R. 3 bypass at the west edge of Kendallville.
Locking up the train’s brakes could have led to a derailment, Wiley said.
“It was an unfortunate situation,” said Wiley. “We don’t know why he stopped on the crossing.”

LAFAYETTE (AP) — The state highway depart-ment 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, offi cials 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 Legisla-ture budgeted this year for transportation improve-ments, said Alan Plunkett, the highway agency’s Crawfordsville district deputy commissioner.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s govern-ment was confronted Friday with a new and chilling allegation about the bogus sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s memorial: He was report-edly accused of murder 10 years ago.
Offi cials said they were investigating the revela-tion 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 comprehen-sive report,” said Phumla Williams, the top govern-ment 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 halluci-nated 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 televi-sion report did not disclose
any details.Offi cials at the Johannes-
burg court where the murder charge was reportedly lodged were not in their offi ces 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 confi rm 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. In
an interview with the AP, he blamed his past violent episodes on his schizo-phrenia, but declined to provide details.
The fi asco surrounding the use of Jantjie to provide sign language transla-tion before a worldwide television audience has turned into an interna-tional 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
elections next year.The U.S. assistant
secretary of state for African affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfi eld, 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-Greenfi eld told reporters in Kenya that U.S. offi cials are concerned about security and how Jantjie could have gotten so close to world leaders. She said offi cials were also dismayed because people watching around the world who needed sign language weren’t able to understand what was said at the ceremony.
False interpreter may have faced murder charge

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-year-old girl by two high school football players.
The four include Mike McVey, Steubenville’s top school offi cial, whose attorney promised to fi ght the charges.
“We are confi dent that we are going to prevail in these cases and prove they’re unfounded,” said McVey’s attorney, Charles Bean. “This was an investi-gation 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 individ-uals have been indicted by the rape investigation grand jury, whose work is fi nished.
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 fi fth 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 Steuben-ville 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 offi cial business and perjury.

Saturday’s Statistics
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama adminis-tration 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 consid-ered 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 surveil-lance 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.

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-re-bounded 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 fi ve turnovers in the fi rst 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 fi rst. 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 fl oor. It fi nished 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 fi nished with four of the team’s 13
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 fi nished with less than 50 points.
Bellmont came out in a zone defense against the Knights and East Noble looked off guard at fi rst. As the team settled down, the points came to the tune of double-digit scoring in the fi nal three quarters.
Knights go to 2-0 in NHC

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 fi nally got that confi dence to put it up.”
Put it up Kain did, nailing 5-of-6 three-point tries to score 22 points. Teammate Shawna Carbone didn’t have a point in the
fi rst quarter, but led all scorers with 26, with many of her points coming on second-chance opportu-nities. Carbone added a team-high 13 rebounds as Prairie Heights held a 35-29 advantage in that category.
“Everybody was more confi dent 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 fl oor 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.

LIGONIER — If a basketball team wants to win, it helps if it holds their opponent scoreless in the fi rst four minutes of the game as the West Noble girls discovered Friday night.
The Chargers recorded a confer-ence win over Churubusco by a 65-51 score in the West Noble gym.
While Churubusco scored 39
points in the fi nal two quarters, the Lady Eagles put only 12 points on the board in the fi rst 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,
again, leading the way with 16 points. Paige Shearer, a sophomore and starter for the Chargers, added 13 points.
Montana Martin led the Lady Eagles with 14 points while Alyssa Anderson had 12.
In that opening run for West Noble, Peterson knocked down three fi eld goals and a pair of free throws, while Shearer hit a pair of three-pointers in the fi rst period.

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 fi nished the game making 26-of-60 fi eld goal tries (43 percent) and 7-of-16 (44 percent) beyond the arc. The Blazers were 18-of-49 (37 percent) from the fi eld and 1-of-6 (17 percent) from three-point range.

Tiffani Wilson came off the bench and led the Knights with 13 points. Kavan Edwards and Lanie Allen fi nished 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 fl oor,” 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
don’t execute at the right time. We are going to have to play better. We will have to hit a better percentage of free throws and hit a better percentage from the fi eld,” Booth said.
East Noble JV 44, Bellmont 19The Knight reserves jumped out early
and never looked back, amassing a 16-7 lead after one in its blowout victory. Bellmont scored just four points in the second half.
MacKenzie Bryan led EN with 12 points. Bryan also recorded two steals and three assists. Kaley Fulk had seven points and six steals. Paige DeCamp added seven points and four takeaways.
Morgan Ellsworth’s seven points paced Bellmont.

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 fl ow 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 fl oor.”
George, who entered the contest averaging 24.7 points a game, fi nished 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 fi nished 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 signifi cant 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 fi rst 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 fi ve-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 fourth-straight 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
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. He hasn’t played since the fi fth preseason game on Oct. 15 and remains day to day.
Pacers up home record to 11-0
SPORTS BRIEFS•
Tigers, Chamberlain set dealDETROIT (AP) — The Tigers
have fi nalized 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 Chamber-lain, 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 fi gures 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 modifi ed alternate-shot play Friday for a share of the fi rst-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 fi nish 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 fi nished 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).

On The Air•
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. So I ask you: What kind of Christmas tree decorates your home
each year, live or artifi cial?Americans buy more
live Christmas trees than artifi cial ones, according to National Christmas Tree Association statistics. In 2012, 24.5 million live trees were sold versus 10.9 million artifi cial trees sold.
Of the U.S. households that displayed Christmas trees in 2012, however, 83 percent had an artifi cial tree, according to the American Christmas Tree Association. The difference is attributed to an artifi cial tree not requiring replacement each season.
And that sets up the debate of which is the better choice: Live trees support American farmers, while artifi cial trees mostly come from overseas manufac-turers. Artifi cial trees don’t need to be watered. Live trees make your home smell like fresh evergreen. Artifi -cial trees don’t shed needles on the fl oor. Tree farms support the maintenance of
green space and preserve some animal habitat. Transporting an artifi cial 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, bonfi res 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 nonprofi t organiza-tion representing artifi cial 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 artifi cial, as long as people are purchasing and enjoying Christmas trees. That’s good for the industry.”
For sustainability,
Warner said parts of artifi -cial 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 sustain-ability, 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 artifi cial trees’ impact on the environment.
“It’s a wash between real and artifi cial trees, from an environmental standpoint,” Warner said. “Neither tree has a signifi cant impact on the environment.”

Covering All Of Your Acres
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The startup is housed in a garage-like space in San Francisco’s tech-heavy South of Market neighbor-hood, but it isn’t like most of its neighbors that develop software, websites and mobile-phone apps. Its mission is to fi nd plant replacements for eggs.
Inside, research chefs bake cookies and cakes, whip up batches of fl avored 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 confi nes chickens to tiny spaces.
The company, which just started selling its fi rst 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
soon,” said Anand Sanwal, CEO of CB Insights, a New York fi rm that tracks venture capital investment. “Sustain-ability and challenges to
the food supply are pretty fundamental issues.”
Venture capital fi rms, which invest heavily in early-stage technology
companies, poured nearly $350 million into food-re-lated startups last year, compared with less than $50 million in 2008, according to the fi rm.
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 benefi t people’s health, especially in heavy meat-eating countries like the U.S., and reduce outbreaks of diseases such as avian fl u, 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 diffi cult,” said Claire Kremen, faculty co-director of the Berkeley Food Institute at the Univer-sity 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, biochem-ists grind up beans and
peer through microscopes to study their molecular structure, looking for plants that can fulfi ll 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 fi rst 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.

The great Christmas tree debate revisited
GRAPHIC CONTRIBUTED
Of the U.S. households that displayed Christmas trees in 2012, 83 percent had an artifi cial tree, according to the American Christmas Tree Association.
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 fi nal fi gures 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
Soybean exports reach record highs in 2013
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 glypho-sate 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 elonga-tion 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 spring-emerging 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.

Many helped church provide Thanksgiving dinners
To the editor:Trinity Church United Methodist of
Kendallville has been providing Thanks-giving Dinner to our community for more than 20 years now. This year, we were able to serve a traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings to 550 area residents. This is no small task, and there are many people to thank:
Thanks to Tim Holcomb for all his guidance and helpful tips, and to Chef Peter and the students at Impact Culinary School for preparing the many turkeys needed to feed such a crowd. Thanks to community members like Whitney Holle, Shelly Williams, The Greg Barnard Family and the Troyer Family who graciously gave their time and talents to help with this effort.
Finally, thanks to the many members of our Trinity family who donated dollars, baked pies, made dressing, potatoes and gravy, dished up food, and personally delivered more than 400 of these holiday meals. It would never have happened without your contributions.
We are grateful.Dian Lute and LouAnne Pillers

Whether Obama can reclaim country’s trust is highly uncertain
To the editor:The electorate that twice put Barack
Obama into the White House appears to be having second thoughts.
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 fi rst 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 fi rst 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 discomfi ture, 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 fi elded such a miserable excuse for a website would fl ounder 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 profi ts 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 termino-logical inexactitude.” Or, as the scorned masses in fl yover 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 fi rst electoral victory. To their credit, many voters saw Mr. Obama’s candidacy as a chance to repent as a nation for the racial sins infl icted 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 qualifi cations needed looking into.
Those qualifi cations, 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 comple-mented with an on-again, off-again, folksy accent, made the media swoon.
The diffi culty, 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.

THE NEWS SUN kpcnews.com B5SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2013
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 fi nd 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 fi nally fi nd 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 fi rst 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 fi rst through my front door. The fi rst half of the tree fi ts 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 fi nally 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 fi nd 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. I give myself permission to think about those days on the farm with three little 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 fi nishes with a fl urry this week with fi nals
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 fi nals and return projects and such. We do our work and fi nish all the tasks, except for one fi nal 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 fi nally 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 fi nd the end piece from my Christmas tree and make a wish upon the Christmas star.
LOU ANN HOMAN-SAYLOR lives in Angola at the White Picket Gardens where you can fi nd her gardening or writing late into the night under the light of her frayed scarlet lamp. She is a sto-ryteller, teacher, writer, actress and a collector of front porch stories.
It’s time to wish upon a Christmas star

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/
author Kevin Sorbo pointed out that such sentiments make little sense coming 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 fl y 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 fi ll the gap, Jason Mattera, author of “Hollywood Hypocrites,” confronts hypocritical celebrities.
He and his cameraman located Harrison Ford after the actor had himself fi lmed 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 fl ew 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 burden-some regulation that he left the state and changed political parties.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was enthusi-astic 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.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m drawing up a living will, but I don’t understand many of the medical terms I’m encoun-tering. 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. Th e 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
certain procedures or care.• Artifi cial nutrition. When
you are unable to swallow anything by mouth, nutrients and fl uids can be supplied
through a tube inserted through your nose into your stomach. Such a tube can’t be left in long-term (beyond a few weeks). For longer-term use, a tube can be inserted directly into your stomach. Th at requires a minor surgical procedure. Also for
longer-term use, a tube called a catheter can be placed into one of your veins if your gut isn’t working properly.
• Cardiopulmonary resusci-tation (CPR) and advanced cardiac life support. If your heart or breathing stops, CPR can be used to try to resusci-tate you. CPR is a combina-tion of chest compressions, artifi cial respiration and defi brillation. In artifi cial respiration, air is squeezed through a mask placed over your mouth and nose to move air in and out of your lungs. Defi brillation delivers an electric shock to your body. Th is can restart your heart if it has stopped beating. Th e next step is advanced cardiac life support, including mechanical ventilation.
• Mechanical ventilation. A ventilator or respirator pushes air into your lungs if you cannot breathe on your own. A tube attached to the machine is inserted into your nose, mouth or neck (through a small surgical procedure). However the tube enters your body, it is passed down
into the trachea (windpipe). Mechanical ventilation can be used short-term as a bridge to recovery, or long-term.
• Organ-sustaining treatment. Th is is a set of drugs, medical procedures and machines that can keep you alive for an indefi nite period of time. Mechanical ventila-tion 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. Th at convinced me to do it.

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 fi lled 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 fi rst they were angry and disappointed. Th en 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
entire life. I can’t continue letting them ignore the real me. Th e stress of constantly having
to lie to my parents about my faith is tearing me apart to the point that it interferes with my school-work and social life. How can I convince 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
have minimized your feelings by saying they are only a phase because it was dismissive. Th at said, you must not allow their devout faith — and your lack of it — to become a contest of wills or a basis for argument. Th is is an important time in your life with your parents as you enter adulthood. Th ank 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. Th e opposite of faith is not doubt; it is certainty.
