Nippon arrives at settlement Neither company nor manufacturer admit fault BY PAUL GOTTLIEB PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — In just nine weeks, Nippon Paper Industries USA and biomass-boiler manufacturer FSE Energy had been set to do battle in federal court over $17 million in disputed monetary charges.

PORT ANGELES — Once food banks in Clallam County began comparing figures last year, they found that nearly one-quarter of those living in the county had used their services in 2014, said the director of the Port Angeles Food Bank. The Clallam County Food Bank Coalition was established last May, Jessica Hernandez, executive director of the Port Angeles Food Bank, told about 15 people at a Port Angeles Business Association meeting Tuesday. “When we put all of our information together, we saw — and this is 2014 because [we] have not put [our] numbers together yet for 2015 — in 2014, our food banks served one in every four people in Clallam County,” she said.

Thousands of tremors registered in region Experts: Quake activity is unlikely BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — The multitude of slow slip tremors geologists have measured over the past few days in the Pacific Northwest are not unusual and probably don’t portend earthquake activity, experts said. Since New Year’s Day, the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network has registered over 2,000 of the low slip and tremor events beneath the Peninsula, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Vancouver Island, according to The Outdoor Society — a online magazine celebrating outdoor recreation based in Olympia. The tremors began registering Dec. 19 on Vancouver Island north of Victoria, eventually expanding south across the Strait and into Washington state.

On Tuesday, most registered tremors occurred in eastern Clallam County. Episodic tremor and slip is a seismological phenomenon observed in some subduction zones, including the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which lies beneath the North Olympic Peninsula, according to geologists. The phenomenon occurs in the Pacific Northwest as part of cyclical 14-month spans and is characterized by non-earthquake seismic rumbling, or tremor, and slow slip along the interface separating the Juan de Fuca and North America plates, they said. The phenomenon also has been observed by geologists globally in Japan, Mexico and New Zealand. The recent activity is not nec-

essarily indicative of an impending earthquake, said John Vidale, Pacific Northwest Seismic Network director, from Seattle. “We don’t think the ongoing tremors [are] dangerous,” he said. “They might trigger an earthquake, but probably it won’t. If it triggers anything, it probably wouldn’t be anything big.” And while geologists have “learned never to say it is never going to happen . . . it is certainly nothing to get alarmed about,” he said.

Rumblings in the deep Beginning at 12:15 a.m. Monday, the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network — headquartered at the University of Washington in Seattle — plotted more than 400 slow slip and tremor episodes registered by seismology equipment installed throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Newsmakers Celebrity scoop ■ By The Associated Press

Swan song for TV’s ‘Idol’ in 15th year IT STARTED JUNE 11, 2002, with a couple of unfamiliar hosts posing in an empty theater and making an overblown declaration to TV viewers. “Live on this stage, an unknown talent will be launched into superstardom,” said Brian Dunkleman. “You at home decide who will become the next American idol,” intoned Ryan Seacrest. The reasonable reaction: uh-huh, sure. But it turned out the two were underselling Fox’s “American Idol.” The singing contest, which begins its 15th and final season today, was a blockbuster that invigorated its network. It made stars of Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and others, and resurrected the TV talent show as a boom industry that includes NBC’s “The Voice” and ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” “American Idol,” from megaproducer Simon Fuller and based on his British hit “Pop Idol,” did even more.

Judges Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr., from left, appear at auditions for the final season of “American Idol” in Little Rock, Ark., in August. It breathed life into the music industry as it and network TV both grappled with technology-driven changes in consumer habits. The show’s end is the result of dwindling ratings, the inevitable fate of even durable performers. Whatever its change in fortunes, the series will get a send-off worthy of a television landmark, said executive producer Trish Kinane. As she sees it, that means paying tribute to its past while focusing on the battle among this year’s contestants to become the last “Idol” winner. To accomplish that “organically,” Kinane said, past winners and familiar runners-up will be sprinkled throughout the season, starting with the open

auditions in which Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Taylor Hicks and others were on hand to share tips with the hopefuls. Plans also call for duets pairing contestants with their now-famous predecessors, who “all want to be involved, somehow,” Kinane said. A famous non-Idol, Kanye West, made a surprise appearance at the judges’ auditions in San Francisco in September, with wife Kim Kardashian West along as his cheerleader. His “tryout” is included in today’s episode. The season debut is a four-hour, two-night affair, airing from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST today and Thursday and opening on a retrospective note with the Seacrest-Dunkleman ’02 clip.

In the 1960s, he managed rock super group Cream and its guitarist Eric Clapton before signing brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb, collectively known as the Bee Gees, whose melodic folkrock achieved late-’60s success before a career slump. Mr. Stigwood moved into theater — bringing Broadway hit “Hair” to the London stage — and film, producing cinema versions of the Andrew Lloyd WebberTim Rice musical “Jesus Christ Superstar” and The Who’s rock opera “Tommy.” He also produced the

1977 dancefloor drama “Saturday Night Fever,” with a soundtrack that brought the Bee Gees mega-stardom that reached a pitch as high as Barry Gibb’s signature falsetto. That film and the Stigwood-produced “Grease,” released in 1978, also made John Travolta into one of the decade’s biggest stars. Mr. Stigwood’s golden touch failed him with “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” a Beatlesbased movie musical that was a critical and box-office flop in 1978. Sequels to “Saturday Night Fever” and “Grease” also underperformed, but Mr. Stigwood found success again in 1996 with movie musical “Evita,” starring Madonna as Argentine first lady Eva Peron.

PAUL BLEY, 83, an avant-garde jazz pianist, has died at his Florida home. The publicist for Mr. Bley’s record label, ECM Records, said Tuesday that he died of natural causes Sunday at his Stuart, Fla., home. Born Nov. 10, 1932, in Montreal, Mr. Bley began studying music at age 5 and formed his first band at age 13. While still a teenager, Mr. Bley replaced Oscar Peterson at the Alberta Lounge and co-founded the Montreal Jazz Workshop, where he invited Charlie Parker to play. He studied at Julliard in the 1950s, and in the 1960s, he pioneered using electric pianos and synthesizers. In a career spanning seven decades, he played and recorded with Lester Young, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus, Chet Baker and many other musicians.

The minimum temperature since Jan. 1 each day, Sands said, have been as follows: Jan. 1, 29.9; Jan. 2, 19.2; Jan. 3, 33.3; Jan. 4, 33.3; and Jan. 5, 29.5. There was light snowfall generally through the lowlands and foothill country about Port Angeles and to the westward yesterday. The combination of snow and freezing temperatures made roads and streets slippery and increased the necessity for careful driving by all motorists.

President acts alone on gun control push Obama’s focus on background check loophole BY JOSH LEDERMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Tears streaking his cheeks, President Barack Obama launched a finalyear push Tuesday to tighten sales of firearms in the U.S., using his presidential powers in the absence of tougher gun restrictions that Congress has refused to pass. The president struck a combative tone as he came out with plans for expanded background checks and other modest measures that have drawn consternation from gun rights groups, which Obama accused of making Congress their hostage. Palpable, too, was Obama’s

extreme frustration at having made such little progress on gun control since the slaughter of 20 first-graders in Connecticut confronted the nation more than three years ago. “First-graders,” Obama said woefully, resting his chin on his hand and wiping away tears as he recalled the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. “Every time I think about those kids, it gets me mad.” Obama’s 10-point plan to keep guns from those who shouldn’t have them marked a concession by the president: He’ll leave office without securing the new gun control laws he’s repeatedly and desperately implored Congress to pass. Although Obama, acting alone, can take action around the margins, only Congress can enact more sweeping changes that gun control advocates say are the only way to truly stem a scourge of mass shootings. “It won’t happen overnight,”

Obama said. “It won’t happen during this Congress. It won’t happen during my presidency.” But, he added optimistically, “a lot of Obama things don’t happen overnight.” The centerpiece of Obama’s plan is an attempt to narrow the loophole that exempts gun sales from background checks if the seller isn’t a federal registered dealer. With new federal “guidance,” the administration is clarifying that even those who sell just a few weapons at gun shows, flea markets or online can be deemed dealers and required to conduct checks on prospective buyers. Whether that step can make a significant dent in unregulated gun sales is an open question, and one not easily answered.

Briefly: World 1 U.S. service member killed, 2 hurt in attack Marja, AFGHANISTAN — One U.S. service member was killed and two were wounded in hours-long fighting Tuesday in southern Afghanistan, where Taliban insurgents have made recent inroads. The fighting, which reflects intensified efforts by the U.S. and its Afghan partners to push back against Taliban gains, was near the city of Marja, Helmand province, which shares a border with Pakistan. The Taliban in recent weeks have focused their efforts on retaking parts of Helmand, and the U.S. has countered with U.S. special operations forces working with Afghan troops. Details on the battle were sketchy. “There is still a fight going on,” Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said hours after the casualties were sustained. “We don’t yet have all the details surrounding what has taken place.” He said Defense Secretary Ash Carter was being briefed on the situation by commanders in Afghanistan, but many key

details were unclear. Cook said two U.S. helicopters were dispatched to the scene to provide medical evacuation for the U.S. casualties but could not complete the mission. One was waved off after taking fire and returned safely to its base, he said. The other landed safely but was unable to take off because its rotor struck a wall.

U.S.-led coalition BAGHDAD — The U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State group said Tuesday that the militants have lost 30 percent of the territory they once held in Iraq and Syria. Baghdad-based spokesman Col. Steve Warren told reporters the extremists have lost 40 percent of their territory in Iraq and 20 percent in Syria, adding that they are now in a “defensive crouch.” Since the U.S.-led coalition began launching airstrikes in 2014, Kurdish forces have pushed IS out of parts of northern Iraq, including the town of Sinjar, and driven the extremists out of a band of Syrian territory along the Turkish border. Further south, Iraqi forces and Shiite militias recaptured the Iraqi city of Tikrit last year. The Associated Press

Leader of armed group wants land transfer before trip home BY REBECCA BOONE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BURNS, Ore. — A leader of the small armed group that has been occupying a remote national wildlife refuge in Oregon said Tuesday that they will go home when a plan to turn over management of federal lands to locals is implemented. Ammon Bundy — one of the sons of rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a 2014 Nevada standoff with the government over grazing rights — told reporters at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge that ranchers,

loggers and farmers should have control of federal lands. Bundy offered few specifics of the group’s plan, but LaVoy Finicum, a rancher from Arizona, said the group would examine the underlying land ownership transactions to begin to “unwind it.” Finicum said he was eager to leave Oregon. “I need to get home,” he said. “I’ve got cows that are scattered and lost.” As of Tuesday morning, authorities had not shut off power to the refuge, Finicum said. “If they cut it off, that would be

such a crying shame, all the pipes would freeze.” As the occupation entered its third day, Ammon Bundy said the group felt it had the support of the local community. However, the county sheriff has told the roughly 20 people to go home, and a community meeting was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. While the anti-government group is critical of federal stewardship of lands, environmentalists and others say officials should run the lands for the broadest possible benefit of business, recreation and the environment.

CALIFORNIANS WERE WARNED against abandoning conservation efforts Tuesday as several weeks of expected storms spawned by El Niño began hitting the West Coast. Heavy rain and snow are welcome after four years of drought in California, despite their potential for causing flash floods and mudslides. But even a very wet winter won’t be enough to replenish water supplies depleted by four years of drought. The powerful El Niño system — a warming pattern that lifts vast amounts of precipitation from the Pacific Ocean, funnels it across North America and alters weather worldwide — is expected to cause unusual weather nationwide for months.

THE MOTHER OF a fugitive teenager known for using an “affluenza” defense in a deadly drunken-driving case agreed Tuesday to be sent from California to Texas to face a charge. Tonya Couch, 48, appeared for an extradition hearing in downtown Los Angeles, where she was flown last week after being deported from Mexico. She said very little, answering “yes” when asked if she is the Tonya Couch wanted by the state of Texas. It’s unclear when she will be sent to Texas, where prosecutors charged her with hindering the apprehension of a felon. Her next court date in Los Angeles was set for Jan. 19, but authorities in Texas could pick her up at any time.

A MAN ARMED with a knife held 11 children and his girlfriend inside a motel room for five hours before he stabbed himself in the neck Tuesday morning, ending a standoff with police, authorities said. No one else was injured. Authorities had surrounded the motel and tried to negotiate with Korrie Thomas, 36, before a SWAT team eventually stormed the room and found him critically injured, police said. DeKalb County District Attorney Robert James said Tuesday that Thomas should have reported to prison to begin a 15-year sentence in November, after he pleaded guilty last year to armed robbery and aggravated assault.

County Treasurer Selinda Barkhuis said Tuesday the absence of publicly available material that corresponds with the consent agenda, especially budget modifications, represents a “complete lack of transparency.” “I want you to be aware that all the public has available to it is the actual agenda, not any of the items that are attached,” Barkhuis told commissioners during the public comment portion of their Tuesday meeting. “I would, in particular, point out that none of the budget modifications are attached either.” Complete meeting packets, which are posted every Thursday for the next week’s board meeting, are usually chock-full of con-

tracts and other materials that correspond to action items. But due to a lack of scheduled action items for this week’s meeting, the packet was left blank except for the statement: “The January 5, 2016 agenda only contains consent agenda items for action. They have traditionally not been scanned and included in the packet.” Items on the consent agenda were the ratification of vouchers for Dec. 21 to Dec. 25, payroll for a period ending Dec. 15, budget modifications for Dec. 14 to Dec. 31 and workers’ compensation expenditures for November.

Postponed action Commissioners Mike Chapman and Mark Ozias agreed to postpone those items until next week’s meeting to allow the public to review the material online. Commissioner Bill Peach was absent Tuesday because he was serving

with the state Board of Natural Resources in Olympia. “As long as there’s no confidential person- Ozias nel information or anything like that, I see no reason why we shouldn’t put as much information out as possible,” Ozias said during his first business meeting as a newly elected commissioner. Chapman agreed that even routine documents should be made available to the public. “It certainly is a problem that the county treasurer can’t find the documents the board is intending to vote on,” Chapman said. “So we have to fix that, and I appreciate that coming forward. I apologize that over the last decade or more, it kind of hasn’t happened. So that one’s on me.” Said Barkhuis after the meeting: “I appreciate the board’s responsiveness, and I look forward to working with this board to restore public transparency and trust.”

Barkhuis clashed with last year’s board after commissioners approved $1.3 million in infrastructure grants to the port and city of Port Angeles without signed contracts or a budget emergency hearing. Commissioners agreed Monday to work more collaboratively with elected county officials and department heads.

Board named Meanwhile, Chapman and Ozias approved Tuesday the ratification of a Monday vote to name Chapman as chairman and Ozias as vice chairman of the 2016 board. The appointments were agreed upon Monday because of Peach’s scheduled absence Tuesday. Chapman, D-Port Angeles, is by far the longestserving commissioner. He was first elected in 2000 and was re-elected three times. Peach, R-Forks, has served for one year. Ozias, D-Sequim, was sworn in Dec. 29.

Jefferson Healthcare commissioners to hear presentations on school bonds

The slow slip and tremor episodes were recorded as far southeast as Quilcene, as far west as Joyce and as far north as Hillcrest in British Columbia, according to an interactive map found online at www.pnsn.org/tremor. Each event is marked with a dot on the map. “Each dot is actually five minutes of detection, so it is basically a continuous process,” Vidale said. “It is going to rumble for weeks as the slow slip progresses along the faults. So those dots are not earthquakes; they are just a detection that the fault is rumbling down there at the location from where we think the activity is.” The vast majority of tremors cannot generally be felt or even observed without very precise equipment, Vidale said. “This is imperceptible to people,” he said.

Normal phenomenon The tremors plotted on the map are “something that we see about once a year in this region in an episode that lasts a few weeks or a month, and it indicates that the plate interface is moving maybe an inch, very slowly, but it kind of rumbles while it is moving,” Vidale said.

“Any particular spot moves for a day or two, but it takes a couple of weeks for the episode to run down the length it is going to run.” And while geologists speculate the tremors “might make it as far south as Olympia, [they] might run out of steam today, for all we know,” Vidale said. “We are just watching to see what happens.” The events are not aftershocks of the magnitude-4.8 earthquake that hit northeast of Victoria on Dec. 29, Vidale said. “We haven’t seen any aftershocks from that earthquake under Vancouver [Island] — not a single one, which is actually not shocking for a deep earthquake,” he said. “That one was 50 kilometers [31 miles] deep. Those deep events just don’t have many aftershocks.” However, that earthquake might be the result of a slow slip, he said. The slow slip “might have triggered that earthquake under Vancouver [Island] because it does shift those stresses a little bit in the region,” Vidale said. “But we don’t see any effect from the earthquake on the tremor, in this case,” he said. “That is unusual because usually, a tremor doesn’t trigger much of anything.”

PORT TOWNSEND — Jefferson Healthcare hospital commissioners will hear presentations today on the Chimacum and Port Townsend school districts’ bond issues. The commissioners will meet at 3:30 p.m. in the Jefferson Healthcare conference room on the

third floor at 2500 W. Sims Way. Commissioners also will elect officers and hear a primer on law pertaining to open public meetings and open records. The school bond propositions will be on the Feb. 9 special election ballots. The Chimacum district is asking voters to approve a $29.1 million general obli-

gation bond measure to renovate and expand Chimacum Primary School and the district’s main campus. Improvements would include code compliance, infrastructure and energy efficiency. The bonds also would be used to improve the multiuse community fields. The Port Townsend district is asking for approval

of a $40.77 million construction bond measure to replace Grant Elementary School with a new elementary school for grades pre-K through 5. The bond also would be used to improve safety, security and accessibility at the high school. The agenda is at www. JeffersonHealthcare.org/ Commission.

New Washington rule opens bathroom, locker room use to transgender people BY WALKER ORENSTEIN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OLYMPIA — A new rule in Washington state created by the Washington State Human Rights Commission requires buildings open to the public to allow transgender people to use restrooms and locker rooms of the gender they identify with, officials said Tuesday. The policy took effect

Dec. 26, commission Executive Director Sharon Ortiz said. Schools must “assess the use of locker rooms by transgendered students on a case-by-case basis,” the rule says. It adds, “in most cases, transgender students should be allowed into the locker room of the gender they identify with.” The commission, created by the state Legislature, is

responsible for administering and enforcing the Washington Law Against Discrimination, said Ortiz, who was appointed executive director in 2009. The commission began considering the new policy in 2012, she said.

Protected class Under the state’s antidiscrimination law, sexual orientation is a protected class, like race, which includes “gender expression or identity,” Ortiz said. Ortiz and Margaret Chen, a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the policy clarifies law that existed under that anti-discrimination law. Sen. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale, disagreed with the commission’s new policy. “Parents have a right to expect that when their chil-

dren go to school, the boys will use the boys’ locker room and the girls will use the girls’ locker room,” he said in a written statement. Some opponents of a widely publicized city ballot measure in Houston that sought to create nondiscrimination protections for gay and transgender people highlighted part of that ordinance regarding public bathroom access for transgender people, saying it would let sexual predators enter women’s restrooms. The measure failed in November. Chen said laws already exist to protect against people who might abuse the policy. “Transgender people are already living and working in Washington state, and we think they should be treated with dignity and respect like everybody else,” she said.

Settlement reached in ‘Angry’ suit SEATTLE — A pet toy company that designed a line of products after the “Angry Birds” video game characters has settled a lawsuit brought by a Seattle artist. The artist, Juli Adams, said she came up with the idea for “Angry Birds” pet toys and designed them for the company, the Hartz Mountain Corp., in 2006, before the video game existed. Adams said she was cheated out of millions of dollars when Hartz entered a deal with Rovio Entertainment, which makes the insanely popular “Angry Birds” video game, three years later. She argued that Hartz licensed her intellectual property to Rovio without her permission. Rovio

wanted to market plush pet toys based on its video game, but it couldn’t because her work already had the U.S. trademark for “Angry Birds” pet toys. That prompted Rovio’s deal with Hartz. The settlement was finalized last month. The terms are confidential, but Adams’ lawyer said she’s happy with the result.

Nippon: Biomass CONTINUED FROM A1 The company asserted Nippon was responsible for damaging a biomass boiler mud-drum that had to be replaced and ballooned FSE’s $38.9 million contract to $43.7 million in expenditures for which it billed Nippon. Among the egregious acts, FSE said, was Nippon repeatedly hosing down an empty, hot mud drum, which holds steam, with cold water, allegedly causing stress fractures in the vessel.

Food CONTINUED FROM A1

“We are not going to have any comment on the settlement with FSE or current operations at this time.”

The coalition includes the Port Angeles Food Bank, Serenity House, the Port Angeles Salvation Army, Sequim Food Bank, Olympic Community Action Programs’ Senior Nutrition Program and area tribes. Hernandez did not provide the numbers served in 2014 and said that countywide, statistics for 2015 are not expected until at least February. The numbers have been rising, at least at the Port Angeles Food Bank, she said. Continuing a trend established in 2013 and 2014, the Port Angeles Food Bank saw a 10 percent increase in the number of visitors seeking food last year. “Year over year for the past three years, we have seen an increase of [about] 12 percent in clients,” Hernandez said. “Each year, I am serving anywhere from 10 [percent] to 12 percent more people than the year before. “And that is not people coming back every time, every month. Those are individuals, another 12 percent, that I didn’t see the previous year. They had never walked through my doors.”

STEVEN JOHNSON Nippon mill manager much fanfare in November 2013 but was plagued by full-capacity startup delays that were exacerbated by the defective boiler.

Nippon countersued, seeking $10.8 million. The paper manufacturer blamed FSE for procuring and installing a defective mud drum and for misaligning the mud drum with an adjacent steam drum by more than 1 inch. Nippon said that resulted in seepage of water droplets and contaminants that damaged turbine blades that were intended to produce electricity — and add profit to the company’s balance sheet. “FSE Energy filed suit against Nippon Paper in the United States Federal District Court for the Western District of Washington in Tacoma to collect sums allegedly due under the contract on Nov. 21, 2014,” said the joint statement issued by FSE’s lawyer. “Nippon Paper filed a counterclaim alleging a variety of complaints about FSE Energy’s performance. “FSE Energy and Nippon Paper settled their dispute out of court. “Neither party admitted liability and the terms of the settlement are confidential.” The boiler, which burns woody debris to generate steam for the plant, is the key component in Nippon’s costlier-than-expected biomass cogeneration plant, which was pegged to cost $71 million when it was announced in August 2010. The plant also was touted as an environmentally friendly “green energy” project that would spew less pollution than the oil- and biomass-driven boiler it was replacing. The plant was dedicated with

“The boiler is now online and the assembled turbine is producing electricity,” according to the joint statement supplied by Bransdorfer. Bo Thibaut, CEO of FSE, said in the news release that the company was “pleased” to resolve the legal actions. And Nippon mill manager Steve Johnson said Nippon is “satisfied with the outcome.” Johnson declined to comment Tuesday after being asked in an email for an update on the boiler’s performance and company efforts to retool the plant after last year’s shutdown of one of Nippon’s two paper machines. “We are not going to have any comment on the settlement with FSE or current operations at this time,” Johnson said. In a June 12 interview with the Peninsula Daily News, Johnson said the company was continuing to address operational problems with the boiler. “We’re still tweaking it,” he said. As part of a $1.22 million project, Nippon purchased a new paper-pulping machine in mid2015 that will be fed recycled paper. Nippon has been planning to refocus its production away from telephone book paper, which it has produced in a declining market, to other forms of fiber. Nippon employed about 160 hourly and salaried employees as of mid-June.

By the numbers Altogether in 2015, the Port Angeles Food Bank served 20,186 individuals — representing a total of 9,030 households, Hernandez said. Of that, 2,157 individuals were new clients who had never before patronized the food bank, she said. Broken down by age group, the food bank served 5,734 juveniles, 10,301 adults aged 19 to 54 and 4,151 adults older than 55. Also in 2015, the food bank received about 250,000 pounds of food through general donations and 15,000 pounds of gleaned produce — extra fruits and veggies collected and donated by farmers and gardeners, Hernandez said. During the year, the Port Angeles Food Bank — acting as a repository for various other food banks throughout Clallam County — distributed about 50,000 pounds

Port Angeles Food Bank Executive Director Jessica Hernandez replenishes shelves for eventual public distribution Tuesday. of food to other organizations, Hernandez said. “We know that our voices together are going to be louder and more impactful,” Hernandez said. Some of the “most tremendous partnerships” have been “with the fellow food banks and meal programs,” she said. “The overall health of Clallam County [can] only be addressed by a multifaceted approach, a multiagency approach.” Before the coalition was founded, the members “weren’t working together,” Hernandez said. “They weren’t speaking. They were . . . separate silos.” That no longer is the case, she said. “We have been meeting monthly. We are sharing abundances,” she said.

Thinking ahead

we need to make sure we are taking care of, so at the Port Angeles Food Bank, we are growing our Friday Food Bag program,” she said. “Every week during the school year, we provide supplemental food for the weekend for 500 elementary kids.” That helps because “studies show that kids that are hungry have more discipline problems, they are sick more often, they miss more school,” Hernandez said. Adults also need good nutrition, she said. “Hunger is related to the greater issues that we face as a community,” she said. “If you don’t have the nutrition and the sustenance that you need, you look to fill that gap elsewhere,” including through the substance and alcohol abuse, she said. Feeding senior citizens is a priority, Hernandez said. “We are finding different ways to reach those very vulnerable populations because it is not just homeless people,” she said. “These are our neighbors. These are the people that are family members or a kid who is struggling or maybe dealing with drug addiction and often on the streets. “We all know people like that, and those are the folks [we] are trying to lift up.”

That will someday include joint fundraisers in addition to sharing food stuffs, she added. “Working together as a collective has been a tremendously powerful experience thus far, and [we] are really excited going into 2016,” she said. “We are looking at writing some goals, writing a mission statement [and] getting our efforts even further put together.” A main focus of the Port Ange________ les Food Bank is “feeding kids,” Hernandez said.

The fire began in the couch at about 10 a.m. Monday in a home on Adams Street. The homeowners evacuated the smoke-filled residence minutes before fire crews arrived and extinguished the fire, said Keppie Keplinger for East Jefferson Fire-Rescue. Firefighters had the blaze under control in four minutes, she said. Deputy Chief Ted Krysinski said there were no injuries and only minor damage to the house. Crews from Quilcene Fire Rescue and Discovery Bay Fire Department were dispatched to cover East Jefferson fire stations that responded to the call. “Homeowners are urged to keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heating equipment,” Keplinger said.

Orcas tracked SEATTLE — Federal

biologists are once again tracking the winter movements of the endangered population of orcas that spend time in Washington state waters. Researchers with NOAA Fisheries have been following an adult member of the K pod since tagging the animal with a satellitelinked transmitter Thursday. The satellite tracking project and other research are helping answer questions about where the orcas go during the winter, what they eat and what risks they encounter. The whale, named K-33, was tagged as it swam north out of Puget Sound and spent several days with other members of the K pod, hanging out at the west entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Researchers are hoping to find out how the whales respond to the effects of El Niño in the North Pacific Ocean this winter. Peninsula Daily News and The Associated Press

Sequim council fills seat, elects mayor associate degree at Peninsula College. If he were selected, he said that when his term ended, he would take part in a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, then attend the University of Northern Colorado.

BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — Two new members have joined the City Council. One of them is a voting member. Bob Lake, 61, of Sequim was selected Monday night to fill the seat vacated by the resignation of Ken Hays. A new position — that of student liaison — was created for Wendell Lorenzen, 18, an applicant for the council seat. Lorenzen will sit with the council and may take part in discussions of issues the council considers but does not have a vote, Mayor Candace Pratt said shortly before she turned the gavel over to the new mayor.

New mayor Councilman Dennis Smith was selected mayor after Pratt declined to be considered for the position. Councilman Ted Miller was selected deputy mayor. The board interviewed four candidates for the vacant council position. Hays resigned Dec. 14, a month after he was reelected to the position, having run unopposed in the Nov. 3 general election. Hays, who had served on the City Council since 2008 and was mayor from 201013, said he wanted to spend more time with his family. Applicants for the position were Lake; Lorenzen; Brandon Janisse, 30; and Roger Wiseman, 72. Lake, a retired safety engineer, has lived in Sequim since May 2014 after spending three years

Backgrounds

ARWYN RICE (2)/PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

Bob Lake of Sequim, left, was selected by the City Council to complete the elected term for Ken Hays, who resigned in December. Wendell Lorenzen, right, was asked to serve in a non-voting capacity on the City Council as a student representative after not being selected from a field of four applicants for an empty seat. in New Zealand. He said he has also lived in Boston and in Michigan, and has been active in local and national politics. “I’ve been on lots of different boards, just not a City Council,” he said. He has a master’s in business administration, was a member of a national board for safety engineers, is a current member of the city Parks and Recreation Board and is a volunteer for the Peninsula Trails Coalition. Lake will resign from the parks board, and the city is seeking a new member of that body. As a former safety engineer, Lake said he knows how to evaluate risks and benefits, and make decisions based on the best possible decision for the city, in both economic and human terms. While Lorenzen was not selected for the vacant council position, he was

offered and accepted a position as youth liaison on the board through the end of the school year. When the council asked the candidates why they did not run for election in 2015, Lorenzen said he was not yet old enough at the time of filing.

Recently turned 18 A senior at Sequim High School, Lorenzen turned 18 in mid-November. He said he was disappointed to be unable to vote in the Nov. 3 general election. “I feel my age group isn’t being represented. It’s resulting in low voter turnout for young people,” said Lorenzen, whose mother, Susan Lorenzen, was a city councilwoman from 2008 through 2011. “I want to be a voice for the under-50 crowd in Sequim,” the applicant said. He demonstrated his understanding of the city’s

The Daily Herald reported that authorities took the baby Dec. 18 after her mother called 9-1-1 to say the girl was listless and unresponsive. The 19-year-old mother, Jerrica Schreib, and her 42-year-old boyfriend, Donald Coons, were arrested Friday in Everett for investigation of criminal mistreatment of a child. Three older children are in

state custody. Coons’ attorney has said his client has had no criminal convictions since 2004. Schreib’s attorney has said she had no criminal history.

Diana came to Crestwood post surgically for removal of a left frontal lobe brain tumor. She was experiencing progressive weakness and confusion, along with word finding difficulties when she was hospitalized. She arrived with weakness specifically on the side of her body; she was unable to write or tie her shoes as she once had. Within days, Diane was able to maneuver in her wheel chair around the facility, always smiling and willing to work with her occupational, speech and physical therapists. She eventually graduated to using a rolling walker, improvising her balance and endurance in standing to complete valued tasks such as jamming with her husband, Ron, as he would frequently bring in their music book and play Bluegrass tunes. They have spent many years together attending Bluegrass festivals and it was evident that as Diane progressed in her therapy, she was able to easier engage in playing her baritone ukulele or guitar as Ron strummed his mandolin by her side, both singing to their hearts content, bringing smiles and tapping toes to those who stopped to listen. Within a few weeks, Diane progressed to walking without an assistive device and was found many times in occupational therapy doing the “electric slide,” confidently completing the grapevine with ease. By the end of her time at Crestwood, she easily was able to care for herself, completing her basic routine with independence, accessing medical appointments with her husband and socializing within the facility with ease. We wish her the best of luck and will miss her!!

In 2015, he was defeated by Pam Leonard-Ray and in 2013 by Miller. Wiseman described himself during the interviews as a good collaborator, a “research and policy wonk.” When asked why he had not run for election in 2015, he said he was out of town during much of the filing period. Janisse and Wiseman were encouraged to join the city’s parks and recreation board or the planning commission.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS for Wednesday, January 6, 2016 PAGE

Fly-fishing resolution hits a snag BECOMING A FLY FISHERMAN, like a lot of futile New Year’s resolutions I have mistakenly made in the past, was not as easy as I had imagined. It was more of a case of if Pat you can’t beat Neal them, join them. First, I had to find my old fly-tying vise. It lay hidden like a lot of other vises under a deep layer of old baggage I thought I had tossed out long ago. But there it was, a rusted relic of a childhood wasted wrapping duck feathers and bucktails onto a hook in an effort to make something that looked like meal that

a trout might eat. We tied three basic flies of black, brown and gray until a buddy bragged the blue fly worked best. We called all these flies “Dust Bunnies” because that’s pretty much what they looked like. We liked to tie all of the different-colored flies together on one leader so it looked like a hatch was happening every time you made a cast. Tangles were frequent, but on that rare occasion during a feeding frenzy, when two or even three trout would hit the flies and rip the leaders apart in a desperate struggle, there would be a scant moment of triumph to remember for all these years. Just my luck: My old fly-tying vise was rusted shut. The mice had eaten all the deer hair and duck feathers and made a nest out of the fancy

chenille and tinsel. The guides on my bamboo fly rod were rusted and broken. I knew I had to gear up to go fly fishing. That’s when the New Year’s resolution hit a serious snag. These days, you need a $1,000 rod to go fly fishing if you’re not going to get laughed off the river. Add that to the $500 waders with the $500 wading shoes and the $500 wading jacket in teal blue, and you’re just getting started in the sport of kings that fly fishing has become. It can cost thousands of dollars to go fly fishing before you have made your first cast. Fly fishermen must be “knowledgeable and skillful, embodying a universal set of ethics-shared values, respectful attitudes and right behavior towards the outdoors, fish, wildlife and people who inhabit them . . . to

Peninsula Voices

be as good a fisherman or woman as we possibly can,” according to the book Beyond Catch & Release: Exploring the Future of Fly Fishing, by Paul Guernsey (Skyhorse Publishing, 2011). Guernsey warns the catchand-release fly fishing community that the animal rights organizations view fishing as a euphemism for impaling and suffocating intelligent social animals for the perverse enjoyment of those who like watching creatures being tortured. Fishing is viewed as a barbaric act of animal abuse that will not be tolerated. Beyond Catch & Release advises that fly fishers should prepare themselves for this eventual attack on our fly fishing heritage by fishing without hooks or by sitting on shore and simply viewing the fish with polarized glasses instead of trying to catch them.

OUR READERS’ LETTERS, FAXES AND

You’ve been warned. Given the current state of fisheries management, it is only a matter of time before even catch-and-release fly fishing for steelhead will be outlawed on the North Olympic Peninsula. First, they outlawed the bait fisherman, but I didn’t say anything. I wasn’t a bait fisherman. Then they outlawed the float fisherman, but I didn’t float, so I didn’t say anything. Then they outlawed fly fishing, but there was no one left to care. When fishing is outlawed, only outlaws will fish.

Fluoridation As I understand it, the purpose of adding fluoride to the community water supply is to help disadvantaged children avoid tooth decay. Many dentists support this, and apparently, so do some elected officials in Port Angeles. Fluoride is frequently declared safe in the USA, although many other nations prohibit the use of fluoride in food or water. The fluoride pumped into water supplies in the USA is typically fluorosilicic acid or sodium fluorosilicate, both highly corrosive. Scientists are just beginning to connect the dots between these acids and medical problems such as dementia, osteoporosis and colon cancer. And if research in the future uncovers positive links between added chemicals and medical problems, Port Angeles should be prepared to pay billions in damages. Let’s imagine Dorothy Sloven, a poor East End child whose teeth are at risk. Dorothy’s tooth enamel is being attacked by acids, thanks to her

sugar-rich diet. Theoretically, the fluoride in the water supply will interact with Dorothy’s tooth enamel to form a compound less susceptible to erosion. Of course, everyone else in Dorothy’s family will get dosed, including her 75-year-old grandmother, her cat Boots and Mrs. Sloven’s African violets. All the surrounding neighbors will get a con-

tinuing dose, too, even those with no children. It’s like trying to kill a fly with a stick of dynamite. In my personal opinion, civic officials are neither qualified nor licensed to offer medical advice or treatment. Civic water supplies should not be dosed with questionable chemicals. David L. Hough, Port Angeles

Global warming I’m lucky to have read the recently printed letters on global warming, and I have to say I agree almost completely. Top scientists around the world studying things like Antarctic ancient ice cores, effects of massive deforestation, desertification, oceanic measured changes, etc., have got it all wrong.

It’s no secret these folks are all collaborating in a liberal agenda to foist onto us the outrageous belief that not only is Earth’s climate changing rapidly, but also that we may be the causal agent. It’s comforting to know there are individuals who, through in-depth analysis of all the factual data from Fox News, and also from renowned polymath Rush Limbaugh, plus other infal-

lible sources, can thoroughly and completely debunk all the “junk” science the rest of us may have bought into. These folks thus understand better than we that the Earth is tough and can absorb whatever humankind can throw at it. So we should all stop worrying needlessly and wasting precious time pointlessly recycling, reusing, economizing and worrying about coal, shale oil, CO2 and mountains of trash. We can just consume our way to a more prosperous and happier future. For if the truly unimaginable should happen, in spite of our efforts, and Earth became inhospitable and unlivable for nearly all besides super arrogant and wealthy Mr. Trump, then we’ll simply pack our things and move, en masse, to the nearest next planet with good soil, water, abundant forests and plenty of oil underground. I’d like the address, as I hope to get in early on that real estate market. Let’s just hope that planet is round, though, not flat like this one. Tom LaRue, Sequim

Finding the sweeter middle “LISTEN,” MY FRIEND Claudia said last month when we were sitting around in her living room, all very merry on eggnog she swore was hardly spiked. I believe the words she used were “virginal, basically,” which is about as racy as Claudia ever speaks. “What you and Larry have is rare.” She was touching my arm now. “My God, you still hold hands.” “Not always,” I said. Not to deflect, just to get back to lighthearted celebration. Her comment made me remember two not-so-lighthearted moments earlier that evening. Sure, Larry and I walked hand in hand up to her front door, but in the car, he got so mad at me, he yanked his hand away. His mood shift seemed to pop

Just like I can string most of my life together by remembering other things that pop up out of nowhere and take me by surprise. Like when I went into the Goodwill to look for a gift for Claudia’s gift exchange (she’s the only hostess I know who asks that all of the gifts be secondhand), and I saw a saucer that belonged to my mother’s pattern. It’s not a rare pattern or expensive. I think the grocery stores gave them away if you spent enough. As a girl, I never dreamed the dishes would mean so much to me down the road. Now, the nostalgia I feel whenever I see one is not so much for my mom, but for my childhood, until my heart either melts or freezes, depending. Either way, I buy the dish. This time, as a present. I don’t know if Larry and I are

Professor to talk on empathy Anti-drug group to focus on 3 areas at Thursday meeting BY DIANE URBANI DE LA PAZ

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — In a free lecture, Peninsula College professor Janet Lucas will discuss something she’s long studied: empathy and compassion. “The Art and Science of Empathy: Its Role in the Classroom and in Our Lives,” Lucas’ multimedia presentation, is open to the public at 12:30 p.m. Thursday in the Little Theater at Peninsula College, 1502 E. Lauridsen Blvd. An English professor who believes in poet Rainer Maria Rilke’s philosophy of “living the questions,” Lucas plans on delving into: ■ What is empathy?

■ Why do we sometimes not empathize with one another? ■ How does empathy affect Lucas our lives? Lucas, who earned her doctoral degree in 2011, wrote her dissertation about empathy and last October gave her “Art and Science of Empathy” talk as the keynote speech at the meeting of the Washington Community College Humanities Association. The subject is as timely as ever, Lucas believes, as popular culture and media spread stories of struggle around the world. “Empathy is so impor-

tant,” she said, “in today’s world of political controversy and xenophobia,” the fear of people and things that seem foreign or strange. In Thursday’s lecture, Lucas will also discuss how scholars, from economists to neuroscientists, are exploring our brains on compassion and empathy. We’re thinking about these feelings in new ways, she said. Lucas’ talk is part of the free, public Studium Generale series at Peninsula College. For information about this Thursday’s lecture and future presentations, see www.pencol.edu, and to reach Lucas, email jlucas@ pencol.edu or phone 360-4176221.

PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles Citizen Action Network, aka PA CAN, will have its first meeting of the new year this Thursday, and everyone concerned about greater Port Angeles’ drug problem is invited, said cofounder Angie Gooding. The 6 p.m. meeting will be held at the Clallam County Veterans Center, 261 S. Francis St., a new location for the group. “We’ll continue our work focusing on three areas,” Gooding noted on her Facebook page.

First is finding additional housing for recovering alcoholics and other addicts through Oxford House, an international program with homes across the North Olympic Peninsula. “We need Realtors’ help with searching for additional housing,” said Gooding. “Our second focus is to help teenagers find healthy activities in town. Long term, we’d like to create something like the Boiler Room, an activity center for teens in Port Townsend. “This will be a joint effort with Revitalize Port Angeles,” which began PA CAN last year.

“We need help from churches, businesses and Realtors in this effort.” PA CAN’s third focus is on job opportunities and readiness for local residents, including recovering addicts. The ability to earn a living and give back to the community, Gooding said, is a major factor in fighting addiction. “We need business people’s guidance and partnership in this effort,” she said. PA CAN meetings will be held every first Thursday of the month, Gooding noted. For information, see the Port Angeles Citizen Action Network page on Facebook.

B Hall of Fame

Bonds, Clemens may get boost

PC still in good shape Pirates’ start is similar to that of last year’s team BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

BY RONALD BLUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and other tainted stars of the Steroids Era appear likely to get a boost in Hall of Fame balloting, but not enough to enter Cooperstown this year. Ken Griffey Jr. seems assured of election on the first try when results are announced today, possibly with a record vote of close to 100 percent. Mike Piazza, Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines also were strong candidates to gain the 75 percent needed for baseball’s highest honor. Following the elimination of about 100 retired baseball writers from the electorate, Bonds and Clemens were on track for a 5-10 percentage point increase. After drawBonds ing about 37 percent of the ballots last year, they were in the 48 percent range this year according to www.bbhoftracker. com, which tabulated public votes adding to more than one-third of the total. Last July, the Hall’s board of directors cut eligible voters from approximately 575 to roughly 475 by purging writers who had not been covering the game for more than a Clemens decade. Previously, the electorate included people who had been active members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America for 10 consecutive years at any point. “We have a somewhat different electorate,” John Thorn, Major League Baseball’s official historian, said Tuesday. “I think possibly the current electorate was not content to keep kicking the PED crowd down into a hole and leaving the Hall of Fame with a crater in its plaque room.” Marc Maturo, a reporter covering New York baseball for Gannett in the 1970s and ’80s, was among those who lost voting rights. He said he would have voted for Bonds, Clemens, Griffey and Raines. “The whole process I think was done too quickly, wasn’t given enough thought,” he said. Now a writer for the weekly Rockland County Times, Maturo pointed out players who received one or two votes in recent years, such as Armando Benitez, Aaron Boone, Bret Boone, Darin Erstad, Kenny Rogers, J.T. Snow and B.J. Surhoff. “They call these courtesy votes or friendship votes,” he said, “That should eliminate you. They’re not Hall of Famers by anyone’s imagination. But people vote for them. To me, that’s wrong.” TURN

HALL/B4

PORT ANGELES — Team A is 6-4. They’ve lost to Wenatchee Valley, Big Bend and twice to Lane. Team B is 9-4 with losses to Wenatchee Valley, Bellevue and Lane, twice. Team A is the 2014-15 Peninsula College women’s basketball team before Northwest Athletic Conference North Region play began last January. The Pirates lost only one more game — to Bellevue — and went on to claim the NWAC championship by beating nemesis Lane in the title game. Team B is the 2015-16 Peninsula women’s team, which opens NWAC North play at Edmonds (1-11) on Saturday. The Pirates are coming off a rough 84-53 loss to Lane on Dec. 19 in the Battle in the Olympics crossover tournament title game in Port Angeles. Viewed with the context of a defending champion, particularly one that started this season 6-0, the Pirates’ start this season might seem disappointing, while a similar start last year was anything but. That shellacking Lane dealt Peninsula on its own home court is particularly discouraging. But maybe that was more about the unbeaten Titans being really good than anything related to the Pirates. Peninsula shot 23 percent from the field in that game and scored only 20 points in the second half. The Pirates were in the game until they went ice cold. Peninsula also struggled with their shooting in the first two tournament games, but still

Wilson earning giant salary Quarterback lifted Seahawks from slumping to contending

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson (3) tries to evade Cardinals linebacker Dwight Freeney (54).

IN THE AVALANCHE of astounding statistics, unprecedented successes and months of MVP-quality play, it’s a little hard to remember Dave when the Boling questions were being asked about Russell Wilson’s value. Heck, he looks like a bargain now, having earned his $21.9 million annual average salary in just the second half of the season when he lifted the sluggish Seattle Seahawks to a level of play that suggests they can threaten another Super Bowl run.

And that’s even though the path would follow a difficult road. But it wasn’t that long ago Wilson was struggling with his passer rating in the low 90s and the Seahawks looking like remote longshots to even sniff the postseason. Back then, so many of us wondered if he’d been changed by the big checks, or by his photogenic girlfriend, Ciara, a singer and star of hip-hop videos and training camp sidelines. How could he not be changed by the lifestyle, including life in a mansion and the sight of his ubiquitous image on endorsements across every medium? And how about the infamous Super Bowl interception against the Patriots? TURN

Title fight: Clemson’s O-line vs. Bama’s defensive front BY PETE IACOBELLI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson’s offensive line has conquered challenges all season. Its final one — and perhaps biggest — will come in the national championship game against Alabama’s dominating defense. “We’ve always been a question mark around here,” Tigers center Jay Guillermo said. There certainly will be more questions about the line and the top-ranked Tigers (14-0) leading up to their matchup Monday in Arizona with the powerful Crimson Tide (13-1), which completely shut down Big Ten champion Michigan State 38-0 in the Cotton

College Football Bowl last Thursday night. No. 2 Alabama held the Spartans to a season-low 239 yards as linebacker Reggie Ragland and defensive end Jonathan Allen had their way with Michigan State’s offensive line, combining for four sacks and six tackles for loss. The Clemson offensive line — none who were starters before this year — know they have to fare better, even if there are questions whether they actually can. “People doubt us all the time,” Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said. “Nobody believes in this team except these guys.”

WASHINGTON — Cornerback Cary Williams has signed with the NFC East champion Washington Redskins ahead of their wildcard game against the Green Bay Packers, taking the roster spot of safety Kyshoen Jarrett, who heads to injured reserve. The addition of Williams, released by the Seattle Seahawks last month, and loss of Jarrett were part of a series of moves announced by the Redskins on Tuesday.

■ Mike Shanahan: Won two Super Bowls with Broncos. Dolphins, 49ers possibilities. ■ Chip Kelly: Was 20-12 first two seasons before 6-9 cost him job in Philadelphia. Titans, 49ers, Browns possibilities. ■ Mike Smith: Led Falcons to playoffs four times in seven seasons. Dolphins interviewed him Monday. ■ Jim Schwartz: Was 29-51 as Lions coach from 2009-13. Was DC in Buffalo in 2014 when Bills had fourth-ranked defense. Browns have interest.

Making moves Center Kory Lichtensteiger was activated off IR after missing the second half of the regular season with a neck injury; he is expected to reclaim his starting job from fill-in Josh LeRibeus. Backup center Brian de la Puente was waived. The Redskins also released linebacker Derrick Mathews from the practice squad and signed cornerback Al Louis-Jean to the practice squad. The 31-year-old Williams had 46 tackles in 10 games with Seattle this season. The Redskins are Williams’ fifth NFL team since he entered the league in 2008.

Current coaches ■ Sean Payton: Saints HC past 10 seasons. Won one Super Bowl. Has two years remaining on contract. Giants, 49ers, Eagles would have interest if he’s available. ■ John Harbaugh: Ravens HC past eight seasons. Won one Super Bowl, six winning years. No reason to think he’s leaving unless Eagles make a trade offer Baltimore can’t refuse.

DEAR ABBY: At the age of 15, I was raped by my first boyfriend. It’s how I lost my virginity. Shortly afterward, I became severely depressed and bulimic. I blocked my trauma until 11 years later, when I had a flashback. I sought out a therapist and have been seeing him for the past six months. I feel so much resentment and anger toward my family for not having helped me through this difficult time. They didn’t know about the rape, but they knew about my eating disorder, and I’m sure they must have noticed my depressed mood. They simply looked the other way, and I was offered no help whatsoever. I am angry with my mother especially, because she has always been detached and critical of me. I’m afraid to tell her what happened for fear of being blamed. She has now been diagnosed with cancer, and I’m afraid she’ll die before I get the courage to tell her. What can I do? Angry in California
