PORT ANGELES — City officials issued an emergency declaration Tuesday following the break of a 10-inch water main on Marine Drive. It paved the way for Lakeside Industries to start an estimated $125,000 in repairs related to the break that happened Monday afternoon, city Public Works and Facilities Director Craig Fulton said. Fulton, saying the cast-iron water main is 74 years old, attributed the breach to its age. “They rust,” he said. “I can’t tell you what the exact reason was. Age is the primary factor and degradation of the pipe over time.”

Break repaired The rupture has been fixed, but its impact has rippled across heavily traveled routes, inhibiting vehicle access to the city’s industrial core while Marine Drive is repaired. Lane restrictions for portions of Cedar Street, Tumwater Truck Route and Marine Drive to Hill Street could end sometime tonight or by Thursday morning, once repairs are completed, Fulton predicted Tuesday afternoon, urging non-essential traffic to avoid the area. “We don’t know what to expect once we go underground and remove asphalt,” Fulton said.

15 tons of food are offloaded from oil rig to area pantries BY ARWYN RICE PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — The Polar Pioneer rose from the water on the deck of a giant transport ship Tuesday, but before it was lifted, it had a massive gift for the people of Clallam County. About 15 tons of food were offloaded last week from the oil drilling platform and distributed to food banks and food pantries across the county. “This is huge for us. It was all hands on deck,” said Jessica Hernandez, executive director of the Port Angeles Food Bank, who accepted the donation on behalf of the Clallam County Food Bank Coalition. “This is $40,000 of food,” she said. The donation included large volumes

It was enough to make a significant impact toward getting area food banks through the spring, Hernandez said. Coalition members — Serenity

Sequim approves funding for deal on SARC City earmarks $30,000 for 3 years BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — The city will provide $90,000 over the course of three years to the Olympic Peninsula YMCA should the nonprofit assume management of the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center. City Council members present at Monday’s regular meeting — Erik Erichsen was absent — voted unanimously to approve the funding should established prerequisites be met. The $30,000-per-year earmarked by the city is contingent upon the YMCA assuming operational control of the SARC facility

and approval of SARC’s request of $760,500 from the Clallam County Opportunity Fund to replace an air handler in the facility’s pool room. The city’s yearly payment will be drawn from its parks-restricted funds. The exercise center at 610 N. Fifth Ave. houses the city’s only public pool. SARC was closed indefinitely Oct. 30 due to a lack of funding. “SARC is very important to our community,” said Mayor Candace Pratt. “By making this small investment, the city is supporting the

Reduced memberships The annual allotment provided by the city would be used to help pay the cost of reduced memberships provided to eligible underprivileged families, seniors and youths.

“These funds, along with generous contributions from YMCA members, other individuals and businesses will help us ensure that no one is turned away because of inability to pay the full membership rate,” Len Borchers, Olympic Peninsula YMCA acting director, said in a letter to the city dated Dec. 8. The City Council also voted in favor of a resolution endorsing the SARC board’s request — submitted earlier this year — to Clallam County for assistance from the Opportunity Fund. The Clallam County Opportunity Fund Advisory Board plans to arrive at a recommendation on SARC’s request when it meets at 10:30 a.m. Friday at 905 W. Ninth St., room 208, in Port Angeles.

The recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners, which will take up the matter at a later date. “This would be one of the best possible uses for economic Opportunity Fund dollars,” Ted Miller, council member, said during the meeting. “I certainly hope the county will approve it and strongly support the endorsement of it.” The YMCA has reviewed a Sequim-area market study conducted in October by Strategic Research Associates of Spokane and is preparing a management contract to submit to the SARC board in the near future, Borchers has said.

A3 Briefly: Nation Baltimore jury say deadlocked; keep discussing BALTIMORE — Jurors in the manslaughter trial of a police officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray said Tuesday they were deadlocked, but the judge overseeing the case told them to keep deliberating. The jury sent a note to Baltimore Circuit Judge Barry Williams after about nine hours of discussions over two days. Porter It wasn’t clear if they were stuck on one or more of the four charges Officer William Porter faces. He is the first of six officers to stand trial in Gray’s death. As the jury deliberated, armored vehicles and police were stationed around the city, and officials promised they were prepared for any unrest. Last spring, parts of the city were burned and looted as frustrations grew over the police department’s alleged mistreatment of blacks.

Southwest chill hits A wintry chill was taking hold Tuesday in the Southwest, where forecasters warned of freezing temperatures in the desert and wind that could kick up freshly fallen snow in mountainous areas. The chilly predictions follow storms that moved across the West this week and dumped several inches of snow in north-

ern Arizona, while leaving behind more than a foot in Wyoming and Montana. The Salt Lake City area had its first major winter storm Monday with highway troopers reporting hundreds of accidents and slide-offs as nearly 1 foot of snow blanketed northern Utah. Rain soaked parts of California as rigorous weather brought cold temperatures, powerful winds and pounding surf. In Arizona, temperatures Tuesday and today in the community of Bellemont, near the mountain city of Flagstaff, were predicted to be sub-zero with surrounding areas below freezing and dry, said National Weather Service meteorologist David Vonderheide.

Fogle sentence appeal INDIANAPOLIS — Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle is appealing the more than 15-year prison sentence he received for possessing child pornography and having sex with underage prostitutes, which was longer than the maximum term prosecutors agreed to pursue as part of his plea deal. Attorney Ron Elberger said Tuesday that he’s appealing Fogle’s sentence, but he declined to discuss it in detail. He filed the notice of appeal in federal court in Indianapolis on Monday. Fogle pleaded guilty last month to one count each of distributing and receiving childporn and traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a child. As part of his plea deal, he agreed not to seek a sentence of less than five years in prison and prosecutors agreed not to push for more than 12½ years behind bars. The Associated Press

Threat that closed L.A. schools treated as hoax BY ADAM NAGOURNEY AND RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA THE NEW YORK TIMES

LOS ANGELES — After the Los Angeles public schools were shut down Tuesday in response to threats of a bomb and poison gas attack, officials determined that the threats were probably a hoax, but not before the lives of millions of city residents — students, parents, teachers and school staff members — were thrown into disarray. The threat came in an email sent to board members of the Los Angeles Unified School District, said Charlie Beck, chief of the Los Angeles Police Department. New York City officials said they received a similar threat to schools on Tuesday but did not close schools after concluding that it was a hoax. Law enforcement and schools officials said the emails to both cities originated in Frankfurt, Germany, or were routed through there, and appeared to have come from the same sender. The FBI was working with local law enforcement agencies in investigating.

After receiving an intelligence briefing, Representative Adam Schiff, a Los Angeles-area Democrat who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement that “the preliminary assessment is that it was a hoax or something designed to disrupt school districts in large cities.”

Explicictly to students The Los Angeles threat was explicitly “to students at schools,” said Ramon C. Cortines, the superintendent of the district, the nation’s second largest. He said “some of the details talked about backpacks and other packages.” “It was not to one school, two schools or three schools — it was many schools, not specifically identified,” Cortines said at a news conference shortly after 7 a.m. “I am not taking the chance of bringing children anyplace, into any part of the building, until I know it is safe.” U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, a Democrat who represents parts of Los Angeles, said the writer of the email claimed that “he has 32

jihadist friends” ready to attack the schools using bombs, nerve gas and rifles. The writer identified himself as a practicing Muslim who had attended a Los Angeles high school and had been bullied while he was there, according to Sherman, who said he had been given a copy of the email by one of the school board members who had received it. Sherman said that elements of the message did not appear credible, including the number of potential attackers and the claim that they had access to nerve gas. It was signed by a male Arabicappearing name, he said, but added: “The word Allah appears several times in the email, but once it’s not capitalized. “A devout Muslim or an extremist Muslim would probably be more careful about typing the world Allah.” The author appeared knowledgeable about the way schools in L.A. are set up, referring to the system by its official name. “Just because parts of the email are false, doesn’t mean it’s all false,” Sherman said.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Supporters of the Islamic State group in Afghanistan are attempting to establish a regional base in the eastern city of Jalalabad, the commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, General John Campbell, said Tuesday. In an interview with The Associated Press, Campbell said that “foreign fighters” from Syria and Iraq had joined Afghans who had

declared loyalty to the group in the eastern province of Nangarhar, bordering Pakistan. He said there were also “indications” that the IS supporters in Nangarhar were trying to consolidate links with the group’s leadership in Syria and Iraq. The Islamic State group controls about a third of Iraq and Syria. Fighters loyal to the group in Afghanistan include disaffected Afghan and Pakistani Taliban who have fought fierce battles

with the Taliban in recent months. Afghan officials have said that IS supporters control a number of border districts in Nangarhar and have a presence in some other southern provinces, including Zabul and Ghazni. Until now, however, it was unclear whether loyalists in Afghanistan had institutional links to the group’s leadership. Many of those who had declared allegiance to IS were “disenfranchised Taliban” from both sides of the border, Campbell said.

Food: Pallets CONTINUED FROM A1 The Jamestown S’Klallam tribe in Sequim and the Quileute tribe in LaPush each received food, and the food bank is seeking a way to transport a portion of the donation to the Makah tribe at Neah Bay, Hernandez said. Hernandez said the supervisor of the operation from the Polar Pioneer’s crew did not ask for a tax receipt for the donation or identify what company donated the food. The donor of the food was platform owner Transocean Ltd. of Zug, Switzerland, Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said Tuesday. The 355-foot-tall oil platform was leased to Royal Dutch Shell, the parent company of Shell Oil, for summer drilling operations.

European destination The Polar Pioneer was floated onto the giant MV Dockwise Vanguard, a 902foot semi-submersible heavy-lift ship, early Tuesday and is expected to depart from Port Angeles for the North Sea on Monday. Crew for the Polar Pioneer was reduced to the minimum needed for the trip, and the Port Angeles Food Bank got an initial call that the rig had three pallets of food to donate, said Kevin Perry, warehouse manager for the food bank. Armed with volunteers and trucks from many of the coalition organizations, they met a boat at the Port of Port Angeles docks Thursday to collect the pallets of food. “By the time they were done, there were 16 pallets,” Perry said, adding that some pallets of food were delivered after Thursday’s initial shipment. On Tuesday, food bank volunteers were still weighing and sorting many of the boxes of food from the donation, he said. The Port Angeles Food Bank kept about half the food, stored in every nook and cranny the agency could use in its Valley Street warehouse. Hernandez said some of the meat is in such large portions, such as giant roasts, that the food bank will need to reach out to local meat processors to have the meat cut into portions small enough for average household use.

he donor of the food was platform owner Transocean Ltd. of Zug, Switzerland, Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said Tuesday.

The city of Sequim, YMCA, SARC, Clallam County, Olympic Medical Center, Sequim School District and private donors provided money for the $36,000 feasibility study and are working together on the YMCA-SARC management proposal. The study was designed to gauge public interest in a YMCA-SARC partnership. Sixty-nine percent of the Sequim-area residents surveyed were in favor of a YMCA-SARC partnership, according to the research firm.

“It’s going to feed a lot of people,” she said. The Salvation Army will use much of the 1.5 pallets of food it received for the soup kitchen, said Major John Tumey, who manages the Port Angeles chapter of the church and charitable organization. “It is food we don’t have to go buy now,” Tumey said. Much of the food received was various meats, one of the more expensive items to purchase, he said, and in expensive forms not often served at the soup kitchen. “The roasts are huge. We will be able to get four or five meals from one roast,” he said. Tumey said he did not yet know how many pounds of food the Salvation Army received. “We’re still weighing it,” he said.

Day-to-day oversight Upon approval of the contract, YMCA would assume management of day-to-day operations, while the SARC board would remain intact and could call for tax levies in the future if needed, Frank Pickering, SARC board chair, has said. During the transition phase, renovations would begin at the facility and would need to be completed before it reopened to the public. Renovations would take at least three months to complete, YMCA officials have said.

Departing ships The Dockwise Vanguard, with its cargo the Polar Pioneer, is scheduled to depart Monday, according to officials from Dockwise Shipping of the Netherlands. Dockwise owns both heavy-lift ships that visited Port Angeles Harbor this week. The 738-foot-long semisubmersible MV Blue Marlin submerged Thursday and the drill ship Noble Discoverer loaded Friday. The Blue Marlin departed the harbor with its ship aboard at 5:22 p.m. Monday — a day earlier than initially scheduled by Dockwise. It takes one day to submerge the heavy-lift ships and about three days to lift and secure the cargo. Operations can continue normally in bad weather as long as winds remain less than 15 knots, according to Dockwise officials. Port officials have said the Noble Discoverer is headed next to the West Pacific. The Polar Pioneer initially visited Port Angeles in April to prepare for a summer of drilling for oil in the Chukchi Sea, off Alaska, and returned to Port Angeles in late October to offload equipment. It will be heading back to the North Sea off the European continent, where it operated for 30 years, port officials have said. The Dockwise Vanguard is the largest ship of its type in the world and can lift more than 120,000 tons of cargo.

Much of the damage caused by the break was invisible to the naked eye. When a 10-inch pipeline blows water under high pressure, it pushes up on asphalt, and the soil underneath is pushed away, forming voids. “It’s a major service line that impacts a lot of customers, and it has significant destructive forces on roads,” Fulton said.

Christmas comes early with Sequim toy giveaway BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — Santa’s elves took some time off from the North Pole to help needy parents pick a few gifts for their girls and boys Tuesday during the annual Toys for Sequim Kids giveaway. The giveaway, organized by Sequim Community Aid, was held at the Sequim Prairie Grange. About 80 parents perused toys and clothing neatly arranged on tables in the morning, with more expected to trickle in throughout the afternoon, said Donna Tidrick, Sequim Community Aid president. The parents “are very grateful and have been very patient,” she said. “Everybody goes out smiling, and we’ve got a lot of toys. The community really responded.” Eligible recipients were

families living within the boundaries of the Sequim School District. The toy giveaway was particularly aimed at the unemployed and working poor, Tidrick said. Richard Pharr of Sequim said he has been indirectly involved in the annual tradition since he was a child because his parents brought home toys from the giveaway to give to him. Now the father of four children, Pharr is having a turn picking out a few toys to place under his Christmas tree. “It is relaxing to know there are places like this to help people,” he said. It can be difficult to find enough money to purchase presents, he said. “That is a big reason I am here,” he added. “I was only able to get [my kids] one good thing this year. Now I can give

them a few extras.” He was guided through the toy aisles by Cindy Bower of Port Angeles, a volunteer “elf” with Sequim Community Aid. “My friend told me what a great opportunity it was to help the people that really need it this time of year, and any of us could be in that position very quickly,” Bower said. Helping others is “the reason for the season,” she said.

Some extra help Lynn Linville of Sequim, mother of three, was attending the giveaway for the first time this year, she said. The extra presents will help because “I am on Social Security, and my husband works at a minimum-wage job,” she said. Linville said “it makes me feel really great that they have help out there for

kids. It is awesome.” And her kids “are going to be very excited” when they awake to see their tree stocked with presents Christmas morning, she said. Linville was paired with volunteer elf Gisela Gala of Sequim. Gala has been volunteering as an elf for over a decade, she said. “I love it,” she said. “I have volunteered all of my life. When you are so blessed yourself, it is so nice that so many of us can give and help others.” For more information 93,000 acres about Sequim Community DNR manages about Aid, a nonprofit established in 1947, phone 360-681- 93,000 acres of forest trust land for Clallam County, 3731. which is more than any ________ other county.

No public testimony was given before a unanimous vote to declare a 2001 Dodge Grand Sport passenger van and 1999 Ford box van as surplus. The passenger van was seized by the Olympic Peninsula Narcotics Enforcement Team, and the box van was used by animal control and the Humane Society before it was decommissioned in 2008, county undersheriff Ron Cameron said.

PORT ANGELES — A 23-year-old Forks man has been arrested for investigation of first-degree assault for allegedly stomping and kicking an unconscious man in the head during a Sunday morning fight outside the Forks Roundhouse. Reyes Salazar-Candia faces a formal charge at 1 p.m. today in Clallam County Superior Court. The arrest was based on the account of one witness

and the condition of the alleged victim at Forks Community Hospital, according to the affidavit for probable cause. A Forks police officer observed at about 1:42 a.m. Sunday the unresponsive and intubated alleged victim with a bruised and badly swollen eye, a bruised nose, cut lip and numerous swollen bruises across his forehead. A physician told Officer Michael Gentry that the man had sustained a blow-

out fracture to the left orbital wall and that he could lose function of his eye without surgery. The female witness told police that Salazar-Candia and the alleged victim had been arguing earlier at a party at the Roundhouse on the 100 block of state Highway 110. She told police that Salazar-Candia had pulled a knife and threatened to kill the man a few days prior, Gentry wrote in court papers. The woman said a large group of men, including Salazar-Candia, had sur-

PORT ANGELES — Bill Peach has been endorsed by his fellow Clallam County commissioners to represent timber counties on the influential state Board of Natural Resources. Peach, a retired forester from Forks, and Cowlitz C o u n t y Commissioner Dennis Weber Peach are vying to fill a seat being vacated by outgoing Clallam Commissioner Jim McEntire. Commissioners Mike Chapman, Peach and McEntire voted for Peach as part of their consent agenda for Tuesday’s business meeting. “Thanks very much for the support,” Peach told his colleagues. McEntire was defeated in last month’s general election by Mark Ozias, who will be sworn in as a Clallam County commissioner Dec. 29. McEntire had three years left on his term with the state Board of Natural Resources, a six-member panel that sets policies that govern how the state Department of Natural Resources manages its considerable resources. “I just think it’s noteworthy that Clallam County is once again in the running here,” McEntire said in a Monday work session. “I’m just glad that Bill has decided to step up, and he’s got my full support.”

Each timber county gets one vote for the county representative on the DNR board. County boards can vote as a unified panel or submit fractionalized votes as individual commissioners. The unified vote from the Clallam County board was added to the consent agenda at Chapman’s request. The election will be certified next Tuesday. The Board of Natural Resources meets on the first Tuesday of the month in Olympia. If Peach is elected, Chapman asked that he share information from DNR with county commissioners and those who attend their meetings, as McEntire has done regularly. McEntire predicted that next year would be busy for the Board of Natural Resources. The board is tasked with developing an update to a habitat conservation plan, considering new protections for the threatened marbled murrelet, setting the next decadal sustainable harvest calculation and working to reduce arrearage — timber that was earmarked for sale but wasn’t sold. “Thanks for wanting to do it,” McEntire told Peach. “It’s going to be a busy, busy year.”

Authorities perplexed by birth defects BY JONEL ALECCIA AND JUSTIN MAYO THE SEATTLE TIMES

Sally Garcia still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what went wrong with her baby. When the tiny girl was born May 25, 2012, she weighed 3 pounds, 6 ounces, measured 19 inches long â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and was missing most of her brain and skull. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hoped that when she was born, she would be perfect and nothing would be wrong,â&#x20AC;? recalled Garcia, 26, of Prosser, about an hour outside of Yakima. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They pulled her out and my mom started to cry. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I knew she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t OK.â&#x20AC;? Dark-haired and darkeyed, Maria Rosario Perez lived 55 minutes that Friday afternoon before she died of complications of anencephaly, a rare and fatal birth defect. A nurse had just enough time to make casts of the babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands and feet so the family would have something to keep. About two in every 10,000 babies in the U.S. are born with anencephaly each year. It occurs when the neural tube, which forms the brain and spinal cord, fails to close early in pregnancy. What happened to Maria was a rare tragedy, a fluke, doctors said. But records show at least 40 other mothers have lost babies to the disorder in

Yakima, Benton and Franklin counties since 2010 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a rate as much as five times higher than the national average. State and federal health officials have been trying for two years, without success, to identify whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind one of the largest documented clusters of anencephaly in U.S. history. A lack of folic acid, a B vitamin, raises the risk, and anencephaly is generally more common in Hispanic women, but exactly why the rate is so high in Central Washington has confounded state experts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a high priority for our department,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Kathy Lofy, Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health officer.

Missed opportunities But a Seattle Times investigation finds that even as cases continued to climb, health officials tasked with solving the mystery have missed opportunities for answers. They have not contacted most of the women who lost babies to anencephaly. They have not collected samples or conducted tests that could reveal potential genetic or environmental links to the problem. They have not reached out as effectively as possible to tell families how the disorder might be prevented. And, as the government

review of the cluster moved forward, state Medicaid officials didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change rules that limited womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s access to free folic-acid supplements, including in the three affected counties, where up to 80 percent of births are paid for by the state. Outside experts said the probe underscores both the difficulty of investigating birth-defect clusters, which are rarely unraveled, and the need for vigorous effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I judge that it will be unlikely that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find anything that will be compelling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I think we need to give it a try,â&#x20AC;? said Peter Langlois, a senior epidemiologist for the Texas Birth Defects Registry, who is advising Washington officials. The interviews, tests and outreach arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required, but all are included in standard protocol developed by researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). â&#x20AC;&#x153;It breaks my heart that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not been more productivity,â&#x20AC;? Allison AshleyKoch, a professor of medicine and biostatistics at Duke University, said of the investigation. She is compiling the largest genetic study of anencephaly in the world and has followed the Washington cluster. Two years ago, AshleyKoch said, she and her colleagues contacted CDC officials, offering to help collect biological samples and ana-

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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;electric slide,â&#x20AC;? 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!!

A nurse sounds alarm Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cluster was discovered after a nurse, Sara Barron, noted in 2012 that two babies with anencephaly were born within weeks of each other at the 25-bed community hospital in Prosser, PMH Medical Center. Disturbed by the spike, Barron notified state health officials, who reviewed birth records and found nearly two dozen cases in the threecounty area in the previous three years. The CDC launched a study that examined medical records of 27 women, including Garcia, who had babies with neural-tube defects in the counties from 2010 to 2013. Their records were compared with those of 108 women with healthy pregnancies. The analysis showed the rate of spina bifida, one type of defect, was far lower than the national average, but anencephaly, much higher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A clear cause of the elevated presence of anencephaly was not determined,â&#x20AC;? the 2013 report concluded. The study stopped there. No women were interviewed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or told they were among dozens in the region whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lost babies to a rare birth defect. At the time, CDC officials

said they lacked funding for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;boots on the groundâ&#x20AC;? epidemiological study. With the rate still rising, Washington state health officials launched an investigation in June 2014, tapping a 16-member advisory panel of medical experts, researchers and community members. The group pledged to find ways to reduce the number of cases, improve reporting and determine whether more investigation was necessary to find the cause â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or causes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is doing what they can and more,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Christopher Spitters, a panel member and health officer for the Yakima Health District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inability to pinpoint one or more culprits certainly is not for lack of trying.â&#x20AC;? Washington health officials have analyzed existing reports on contaminants such as nitrate levels in drinking water and pesticide use in agriculture, and considered whether there could be genetic markers for women more likely to have babies with neural-tube defects. But they have collected no blood samples, performed no genetic tests and conducted no examination of water, soil or pesticide levels in the region â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and have no plans to do so. The advisory committee has agreed with Wasserman that further tests arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t warranted by existing evidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a state health organization; we are not a research organization,â&#x20AC;? Wasserman said. In January, state officials began interviewing mothers of infants with neural-tube defects, including spina bifida. So far, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve interviewed 15 women, including 11 of the 41 women who lost babies to anencephaly, Wasserman said. Seven more potential interviews have been identified since April, including three mothers of babies with anencephaly, but health officials are still following up, she said. They will compare the answers with those from healthy control-group members, according to CDC protocol. Results should be available by spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that there is an urgency,â&#x20AC;? Wasserman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking is unusual.â&#x20AC;? Experts in birth defects, epidemiology and health communication say the problem may not be with what health officials have done â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but what they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would suggest that there seems to be a gap in

the research so far,â&#x20AC;? said Linda Neuhauser, a clinical professor at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Public Health, who specializes in community-health interventions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually gone in and interviewed [all] the people yet . . . Because if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have some windows into possible causes.â&#x20AC;? Sally Garcia, eager to share her story to help others, said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointed at not being contacted. The omission is by design. State officials plan to talk only to women with due dates within two years of fall 2014 to include them in the study. That method excludes Garcia, whose daughter was born in spring 2012. Women pregnant a few years ago might not recall the information solicited in the survey, such as the foods they ate, the medications they took and other details, Wasserman said. But with 41 women involved, the experience of each one is potentially valuable, said Dr. Lowell E. Sever, a retired CDC birth-defects expert who has studied neural-tube defects in Washington state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can have information thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s valuable, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not scientifically valid,â&#x20AC;? said Sever. Even those who fall within the study limits may be missed. Researchers get womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names and phone numbers from health care providers, then send letters to the last known addresses. But in some cases, the women are difficult to find. If researchers call 10 times and get no answer, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop trying, Wasserman said. Email, social media and home visits have not been tried. With no known cause for the cluster, health officials are focusing on raising awareness about the importance of women taking folic acid before pregnancy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear, however, whether health workers and their clients have gotten the message. And while county officials obtained some free folic-acid supplements, state Medicaid officials have been limiting coverage. Under Washington law, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apple Health Medicaid plan covers the vitamins only after a woman is pregnant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; too late to prevent neural-tube disorders, including anencephaly.

The Port Angeles School District currently requires 22.5 credits for graduation. The district’s request to the state said, “More time is needed to explore the available options (such as scheduling changes) to implement the change in the most effective way that still allows students the flexibility to explore electives and [vocational] offerings while meeting the graduation requirements.” A task force would be formed to explore ways to restructure the school’s schedule, the district wrote in the application. “We will probably be requesting the waiver for Lincoln High School in the future,” Gabbard said. The small alternative school, which has only 75 students, is likely to struggle to create a schedule to meet all students’ needs, he said.

Alaska Airlines flight makes emergency landing THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPOKANE — A smokefilled cabin forced an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Spokane to make an emergency landing. Alaska spokeswoman Halley Knigge said flight 2372 landed safely in Spokane at 8:15 a.m. Tuesday with 75 passengers and 4 crew members on board. There were no injuries. Knigge said about 15 minutes prior to landing,

passengers reported “heavy smoke” throughout the cabin. She said the cause is unknown and the Bombardier Q400 has been taken out of service and will be inspected. Passenger Ryan Mitrovich told The Associated Press that after the smoke was detected, flight attendants walked up and down the aisle looking for the source, and soon afterward, the pilot announced they’d

be making an emergency landing. “By the time we did land, there was a good cloud of smoke in the cabin,” Mitrovich said. He said the situation was “kind of scary” but that no passengers panicked. “It was definitely a little bit of a thrill,” said Mitrovich. The aircraft was met by emergency crews when it landed.

PENINSULA DAILY NEWS for Wednesday, December 16, 2015 PAGE

Revenge of the fly fishermen IT WAS A TOUGH week in the news if you care about steelhead fishing. I blame myself. Pat It’s all part Neal of a fly-fishing grudge that goes back to February 2009 with the tragic death of a 30-pound wild steelhead on the Hoh River. The fish’s killer, a fly fisherman from Port Townsend with no prior incidents or known motive, was innocently casting when tragedy struck. A fish was hooked. A struggle ensued. The perpetrator described the death of the fish in lurid detail. While the results of an autopsy

were not available, witnesses claimed the fish was bleeding from the gills after dragging the fly fisherman around the river for 30 minutes. The killer revealed that the “trauma, stress and emotional scarring put a knot in his stomach.” We felt bad for the poor guy catching that big fish, but it sounded a little like a loan shark complaining about tennis elbow after breaking your kneecaps. What did he expect? Government warning labels on fish hooks tell us not to put them in our mouth. Putting a hook in a fish’s mouth kills a certain number of them even after they are released. The steelhead killing set off a brutal onslaught of rage and anger from Internet anglers who would never have an opportunity to catch that giant fish because they were on their computers.

In the interests of responsible journalism, I confessed my own role in the incident. The unlucky fly fisherman was only able to land the monster steelhead because I had already caught and released the fish earlier in the day. The fish was tired. It never occurred to me the fish would be killed by a fly fisherman. I thought it would get caught in a tribal gill net. So it was no surprise when last week, it was announced at a state Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting in Port Townsend (just a coincidence I’m sure) that among a shopping list of other special fishing rules catering to fly fishermen was a law that would make it illegal to fish from a boat in sections of my home river, the Hoh [“OUTDOORS: State Commission Curtails Retention On Many North Olympic Peninsula Rivers,” PDN, Dec. 13].

There are accurate and timely sources of information available, but you have to look carefully to find them. Try not to get fooled by rabble-rousers like Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and others. Steady and reasonable always is the best choice. Make your voting decision count by reading and listening carefully. And try not to get caught up in the exaggerated portrayals of the U.S. being overwhelmed and attacked by Muslim radicals. Certain politicians love to use this to distract us from issues we really need to focus on, like minimum wage, living wage, the effects of climate changes and the quality and cost of education. George Reimlinger, Port Angeles

OUR

Furthermore, keeping a wild steelhead will be forbidden. Any fly fisherman unlucky enough to land a dying steelhead will have to throw it back in the river to rot. Ironically, under the terms of the Boldt decision, the fish harvest is divided equally between tribal and sport anglers. If one side fails to harvest its share, the other side can. That means every steelhead caught and released by a sport angler is one more that can be caught in a gill net. It’s all part of a management strategy — eliminating plants of hatchery fish and restricting selective sport fisheries while increasing non-selective commercial fisheries — that has shut down steelhead and salmon fishing in waters throughout Western Washington. Is there a fair and sensible alternative to this discriminatory practice?

It should come as no surprise that the best winter-run steelhead fishing in Washington is found on rivers not managed by the state of Washington. The Quinault and Suez rivers are managed by the Quinault and Makah with hatchery programs that use native brood stock.

nardino [Calif.] massacre, I can’t help but think how similar it must have been in Germany during the late 1920s — the singling out of a group in society to blame for all the ills of the country and the calls for the elimination of that group. Statements like Jerry Falwell Jr.’s call to arms at Liberty University to “end those Muslims,” later

walked back (too late) to “Islamic terrorists,” is chilling beyond words. Then the unsubstantiated statements made in the Dec. 6 letter to the editor, “Refugee Crisis,” made to scare people into thinking that the North Olympic Peninsula is going to be invaded by thousands of refugees with unknown motives, play right into the hands of ISIS

[Islamic State group]. The more we isolate the Muslims and take away their hope for an equal place in this society, the more they will take refuge in the radicalized segment of Islam. This is very scary rhetoric. Let’s tone it down before we become Nazi America. Michael Cohoon, Port Townsend

The year of unearthed memories CHILDHOOD FEARS AND adult traumas are stored differently in the brain than happy memories. They are buried like David porous capBrooks sules deep in the primitive regions, below awareness and beyond easy reach of conscious thinking and talking. They are buried so deep that they are separated from the normal flow of life, and so time cannot work its natural healing powers. There is a vast psychological literature on the diverse ways people are held back by these hidden capsules. Often, they don’t feel fully grounded or empowered. Some people experience a longstanding but vague sense of unease about the crucial matters of life, a tangled, inchoate sense of depression in the heart that is hard to pinpoint and articulate. The symptoms differ according to the nature of the hidden memories.

Some people dissociate from their experiences, detaching themselves emotionally from their surroundings. Some feel compartmentalized, as though they are actors trapped in many roles at once. Some fear making commitments because of the ways past bonds have been simultaneously loving and frightening. Some suffer from nightmares, or numb themselves through substance abuse, or have their emotions powerfully undone by certain triggers. There are hundreds of psychological methods that try to unearth the memory capsules and restore a sense of empowerment. The process is hard. As Judith Herman writes in Trauma and Recovery, “The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma.” But people with patience and resolve can look forward to a life in the sunshine. They face their fears, integrate the good and bad memories — recognizing that many different truths lie side by side. After years, many build a sturdy sense of self and make lasting commitments that bring joy, strength and peace. The parallel is inexact, but peo-

ples and cultures also have to deal with the power of hard memories. Painful traumas and experiences can be passed down generation to generation, whether it is exile, defeat or oppression. These memories affect both the victims’ and the victimizers’ cultures. Many of the issues we have been dealing with in 2015 revolve around unhealed cultural memories: how to acknowledge past wrongs and move forward into the light. The most obvious case involves U.S. race relations. So much of the national conversation this year has concerned how to think about past racism and oppression, and the power of that past to shape present realities: the Confederate flag, Woodrow Wilson, the unmarked sights of the lynching grounds. Fortunately, many people have found the courage to tell the ugly truths about slavery, Jim Crow and current racism that were repressed by the wider culture. Many of the protests on campus and other places have been about unearthing memory or asserting a narrative, or, at their worst, coercing other narratives into silence. There have been pleasant and

unpleasant episodes during all this, but overall, you’d have to say this has been a good and necessary stage in the nation’s journey. Unhealed cultural memories have shaped other policy areas. In the Middle East, Sunnis and Shiites are battling bloodily over competing pasts. In its sick way, the Islamic State group is driven by historical humiliation. Thus, we find ourselves involved at all levels in the therapy of memory. I’ll only mention three concepts that might be useful going forward. The first is Miroslav Volf’s notion of soft difference. The person who feels that diversity is filled with hard differences sees the world divided between his group and the alien. A demagogue like Donald Trump offers the following bigoted choice: Submit or be rejected. The person who sees diversity as characterized by soft differences allows others the space to be themselves and sees her mission as one of witness and constant invitation. The second is the distinction between blame and responsibil-

ity. Where there is blame, there must be atonement and change. If you emigrated from Norway to the United States last year, you’re not to blame for the history of racism, but as a new American, you probably have a responsibility to address it. An ethos of responsibility is less defensive than an ethos of blame and provides a better context for cooperation, common action and radical acceptance. The third is the danger of asymmetric rhetoric. If one person in a conversation takes the rhetorical level up to 10 every time, the other person has to rebut at Level 10 and turn monstrous, or retreat into resentful silence. Rhetorical passion, which feels so good, can destroy conversation and mar truth and reconciliation. Even after a tough year, we are born into a story that has a happy ending. Wrongs can be recognized, memories unearthed, old hurts recognized and put into context. What’s the point of doing this unless you’re fueled by hope and comforted by grace?

Briefly: State Limited tour operations recommended OLYMPIA — State regulators investigating a Seattle tour company following a deadly crash on Seattle’s Aurora Bridge have found 442 violations and have recommended penalties against Ride the Ducks Seattle. But staff of the state Utilities and Transportation Commission in a report Tuesday recommended the company be allowed to resume operating a limited fleet of amphibious vehicles, under certain conditions. A three-member commission will determine whether Ride the Ducks can resume operations at a hearing Monday. The commission can penalize the company up to $1,000 per violation. Regulators also proposed issuing an “unsatisfactory” safety rating, based on one “acute” and six “critical” violations, as well as two accidents in 2015. Five international college students were killed in the Sept. 24 crash when a repurposed military “duck boat” swerved into an oncoming charter bus.

Joe Kennedy, said he filed the complaint Tuesday with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It alleges the Bremerton School District discriminated against him when it suspended him Oct. 28. Kennedy had prayed before and after games, sometimes joined by students, since 2008. The district asked him to stop when the practice came to its attention this year, but he persisted by silently taking a knee and praying. The district argued that students could feel coerced to participate in religious activity when they see their coaches lead or endorse it.

Mill to close OMAK — A plywood and veneer mill in northcentral Washington is closing early next year, affecting about 175 workers. The owner, the Colville Tribal Federal Corp., said it is closing Omak Wood Products, citing factors including losing a major customer, the wildfires and falling plywood prices. KPQ-AM reported that Colville tribal spokesman Jim Boyd said the closure will have a big impact on the community. He said the tribe is looking at ways to keep the operation open. Following a previous shutdown, the mill in Omak reopened in 2013 under an agreement between the tribal group and New Wood Resources, a Shelton-based company that is a unit of Connecticut-based Atlas Holdings LLC. The plant manufactures softwood veneer for Northwest markets and Douglas fir plywood for industrial and other applications. The Associated Press

Girls Basketball

Sequim defeats PT 56-31 BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — Jordan Miller and Adrienne Haggerty led Sequim to a 56-31 nonleague girls basketball victory over Port Townsend. Miller scored 18 points and Haggerty put up 16 for the Wolves, who improve to 2-2. Ella Christiansen added eight points as eight Sequim players scored in Monday’s win. The Wolves jumped out to a 16-4 lead after one quarter, and extended that lead to 37-8 at halftime. Port Townsend was down but not done. “[Our players] never quit, even when they get into a hole early on,” Redhawks coach Scott B. Wilson said. “We made some halftime adjustments and played the Wolves better than even in the second half.” Port Townsend outscored Sequim 13-6 in the third quarter and 23-19 overall in the second half. The Redhawks were led by sophomore Kaitlyn Meek, who scored 13 points, nine of them in the third period. “Junior post Jenna Carson showed some great moves beneath basket on her way to 10 points,” Wilson said. The Redhawks (0-5) play their first Olympic League 1A game Thursday at home against rival Chimacum (2-3). Sequim opens its Olympic League 2A season tonight at Kingston (0-1, 1-3).

Bremerton 54, Chimacum 46, OT CHIMACUM — The Cowboys took the Knights down to the wire and then some. Chimacum started slow and due to unforced turnovers trailed 22-14 at halftime Monday. “In the second half, Mechelle Nisbet really set the tone for us with lock-down defense that earned us points and seemed to really bring up our overall defensive energy, when she made back-to-back steals for scores,” Cowboys coach Trevor Huntingford said. “Mechelle can be an absolute defensive monster when she is locked in.”

Riders hold Trojans to 22 points BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles and Olympic went five minutes without scoring a point in their Olympic League 2A girls basketball opener. No big deal for the Roughriders. It means the defense is working. And there’s no doubt their defense was on point in their 37-22 win Monday night. “They might be a little more worried, and we’re like, what’s new?” Port Angeles coach Michael Poindexter said. “But, hey, if we’re playing a 12-10 game, at least we’re ahead by two. “We don’t fret.” The Riders improve to 6-0 and have yet to allow a team to score more than 27 points this season. The Trojans (0-1, 0-2), who are expected to be one of the contenders in the Olympic League 2A Division this season, entered Monday averaging 53 points per game. Port Angeles held them to less than half that, and Olympic made only 16 percent of its field goals. The defense definitely set the tone, but the Riders are used to that. Defense is their thing. It was the offense, which has struggled at times this season, that had them excited after the game. “I think we played pretty well tonight. It was a pretty exciting game. We finally got our offense together and didn’t score only six points in the first half,” senior guard Maddie Boe said. “I think we all were just confident enough to hit our shots when we were open, and we hit them down the stretch.” Said junior post Nizhoni Wheeler: “I think we just executed well on offense and drove

With runners shelved, Hawks should air it out I’M GOING TO under-react on this one. The knee simply refuses to jerk to a hasty prediction of imminent doom for the Seattle Seahawks. The spate of injuries to their corps of key running backs is not nearly enough to derail a red-hot Seahawks team as it powers toward the playoffs. Even without Marshawn Lynch and Thomas Rawls, in addition to injured tight end Jimmy Graham, the Seahawks offense has become good enough and sufficiently versatile to sustain the string of dominant performances it’s mounted. Any team with those guys

would be better, of course. They Dave just have to be Boling different now. Have to exploit other strengths. And there’s enough there, still, to win out and be a nightmare draw in the playoffs. The questions, though, have to be asked: What happens to the “next man up” philosophy when you run out of next men? What happens when the customary solution to your problems

is actually your main problem at the moment? Seahawks and their fans will find out as they enter the final three weeks of the regular season. The recent editions of Seahawks teams, whenever facing hardships, always reverted to their core identity. They rededicated themselves to bludgeoning defenses with the run. But those power backs are all broken. The new guys? The new next men? Who knows? Nobody knew much about Rawls when he got his first chance this season, either.

Lynch has been out since midNovember with some manner of abdominal injury that had to be surgically repaired, and his return date remains speculative. His replacement the past four games was Rawls, a surprise apprentice who blossomed into a star.

Running out of options But Rawls broke his ankle and tore ankle ligaments in Sunday’s win over Baltimore. Running back options now include Bryce Brown, who was re-signed Tuesday, and Fred Jackson, a 34-year-old who has

seen situational duty and doesn’t seem suited for heavy early-down work. Derrick Coleman is a fullback by trade but had a nice run against the Ravens. (Another running back DuJuan Harris, was waived to make room for Brown.) Coach Pete Carroll said they are not going to alter their traditional run/pass balance, no matter who is getting the snaps at running back. Maybe that works. Maybe not. Running backs without jobs tend to be that way for reasons. TURN

After Hayley Baxley drew a charging foul for the Riders, sophomore Brennan Gray hit a jumper that made the lead 27-18 and flipped the stagnant momentum to Port Angeles. “I told her that that was a big bucket,” Poindexter said. It started an 11-0 run that lasted until there was 1:37 left in the game. By then, the score was 36-18 and the game was all but over. The Riders’ cushion really got fluffy when Olympic tried to press. On one press attempt, Nizhoni Wheeler took an inbound pass deep in the Trojans’ end of the court. Somehow, all of the other nine players on the court were behind her, so she dribbled it down the court for an easy layup. “Poindexter just says the post can bring the ball up, so I was like, I’ll go for it,” Wheeler said. “And then I remember watching Bailee Jones when I was little, and she just came down [and scored], and I just remembered that. “I thought they were going to come down because they were all fast, but no one came.” Poindexter credited former Port Angeles boys coach Lee Sinnes for teaching him that

press break, and the Riders have utilized it ever since, including when Jones was manning the post. Wheeler led the Riders with 10 points and nine rebounds. “She had a great night,” Poindexter said. “Very calm. And she dealt with physicality well, she didn’t retaliate, she kept her composure extremely well. “Very mature game from her, I thought. Great leadership.” Johnson had a solid all-around game for Port Angeles, finishing with nine points and five steals and tying Wheeler for the team lead with nine rebounds. Boe, playing with a brace on her ankle after injuring it last week, scored four points and dished out five assists. Defeating Olympic so decisively probably gives notice to the rest of the league that the Riders are back near the top after dropping to the middle of the pack in 2014-15, but Poindexter downplayed the big-picture meaning of the victory. There are 11 more league games left, including one at Olympic on Jan. 15, and Poindexter anticipates the Trojans, the defending league champions, will play much better. “It’d be fine if we lost it because

it’s a long season,” Poindexter said of Monday’s game. “Every game’s going to be a battle, and I think our kids know it’s going to be a four- or five-team race. And they’ve also been around. They’ve seen, like, on any given night, things happen. “It’s a big deal emotionally to start the league season well, but nobody’s pretending that it means a whole lot, because they know there’s some good teams coming and any team can beat any other team, mostly, on any given night. “So I think we’re mature enough to go, ‘Hey, that felt good, but . . .” But . . . “It does, it feels awesome,” Poindexter said, “because they beat us twice last year.” Port Angeles plays its final league game of 2015 tonight at North Mason (5-1).

Bremerton assistant football coach suspended for praying files complaint BY GENE JOHNSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — A Bremerton high school assistant football coach who was suspended for praying at midfield after games filed a discrimination complaint against the district Tuesday, claiming among other things that the district did not punish the team’s offensive coordinator for similarly performing postgame Buddhist chants, his lawyers said. The Liberty Institute, a Texas-

based, nonprofit law firm that’s representing coach Joe Kennedy, said he filed the complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It alleges the Bremerton School District discriminated against him when it suspended him Oct. 28. “BSD violated my rights to free exercise of religion and free speech by prohibiting my private religious expression and taking adverse employment action against me on the basis of my religion, notwithstanding my

request for a reasonable accommodation that would allow me to practice my sincerely held religious beliefs,” Kennedy wrote. “Moreover, BSD does not uniformly or consistently enforce its discriminatory policy. I have observed other BSD employees engage in visible religious expression without adverse consequences.” He referenced one employee who “regularly engages in a Buddhist chant near the 50-yard line

at the conclusion of BHS football games.” A school district spokeswoman declined to answer questions about the allegation, saying the district had not been officially notified of Kennedy’s complaint. The Liberty Institute released a version of Kennedy’s complaint that redacted the employee’s name, but it identified him as the varsity team’s offensive coordinator. The offensive coordinator, Dave Boynton, declined an inter-

view request from The Associated Press on Tuesday. “With all due respect, this is something that’s going to be resolved down the road, and I have not been deposed by either side yet,” he said. Kennedy had prayed before and after games, sometimes joined by students, since 2008. The district asked him to stop when the practice came to its attention this year, but he persisted by silently taking a knee and praying.

Sacks taking down offenses Boys: PA wins BY BARRY WILNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Khalil Mack had five of them. Dee Ford, Mo Wilkerson and Aaron Donald each had three. The sacks brigades were out last week to the tune of a season-high 86. Quarterback knockdowns played a huge role in the outcomes of their games. That could become a trend in the NFL’s stretch run. Sacks are like slam dunks, worth only one tackle, but with a carryover effect that can change the course of any match. That was certainly true in the cases of Oakland’s Mack and Kansas City’s Ford, who were virtually unblockable in the second half of their team’s victories Sunday. In a pass-happy league, the only weapon more valuable than a quarterback who can tear apart defenses is a pass rusher who can rip up the QB’s protection. Eleven players had multiple sacks this week, according to STATS. Their skills aren’t merely reflected by the stats. For Mack’s five sacks, giving him a league-best 14 for the season, there were maybe another half-dozen on which he was oh so close. “What you see statisti-

NFL cally, it doesn’t really determine whether you think is better or not, but at the same time, I’m going to keep working to get better,” Mack said.

Like a legend The Broncos and the rest of the NFL can only shudder to think about that prospect for a linebacker many are comparing to Hall of Famer Derrick Thomas. “The way he can get around the corner and bend and get low to the ground,” said Raiders safety Charles Woodson, now in his 18th pro season, on Sunday, “it kind of reminds you of Derrick Thomas. “I remember playing Derrick Thomas my first game in the NFL against the Chiefs and he had six sacks against us. Today, Khalil kind of reminded me of that.” Just think how that feels from the quarterback’s perspective. “I felt the pressure, I knew it was coming,” Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler says of Mack, a second-year pro. “Obviously, I knew that he would be coming quick. He got there faster than I could get the

football out. “Mack is still as good as anybody in this league after this game. He played a tremendous football game. “Sometimes it’s hard to do, but sometimes you have to give credit to the opposing team when credit is due. Mack played a phenomenal football game.” That Mack was so dominant against an inexperienced QB played into his success. Same thing for Wilkerson against Marcus Mariota and the Browns with their nine knockdowns of Blaine Gabbert. Indeed, opponents can put together a blueprint for how to deal with younger passers from studying the highlights (or lowlights, depending on your perspective) of those games. “The hunger has been building in us,” says Desmond Bryant, who had 1 1-2 of the Browns’ nine sacks. “Every time we’ve gone out and not gotten the result that we wanted, the hunger has grown more and more, and we finally got the job done.” Unquestionably, the sacks total was bolstered by so many teams being banged-up on the offensive line. Generally, only seven O-linemen dress for games, and if one or two go down, there’s often a huge drop-off

to the backups. Considering that so many teams already are without key blockers through injuries, the continuity up front is diminished. It gets worse when the replacements also go down. Another factor playing into the upswing in sacks — four of the top six weeks for total sacks have occurred in the past month — is specialization. While offensive linemen rarely leave the field and are not particularly interchangeable, the rotations on defense, especially in the trenches, are continuous. That means fresher bodies posing threats to tiring ones. Maybe even unfamiliar pass rushers grab the limelight. Ford stepped into the role of injured star linebacker Justin Houston for the Chiefs and got his first three sacks of the season. “That’s lovely,” teammate Marcus Peters said. “That shows the depth we have. He had some huge shoes to fill with Justin out, but he came in and made some key plays for us and he ended the game the right way.” Ratcheting up the pass rush will be critical to success in the final three weeks of the season.

Rawls, meanwhile, was making a push to get his name in the discussion for offensive rookie of the year in the NFL. Quite an achievement for an undrafted free agent. When I saw Rawls stand and walk off on his own, hardly limping, it seemed certain he’d be back soon and his injury wasn’t serious. But when the extent of the injury was announced, it was a further reminder that this is one tough dude.

Defense is key Really, the best way around whatever issues facing the offense is to have the Seattle defense continuing to play as it has the past two weeks. When the Seahawks

went on a winning streak late last season, they held the final six opponents to a scant 39 points — an average of 6.5 points a game. They’ve given up just 13 points combined the past two games. The next two games, Cleveland and St. Louis at home, should not tax either side of the ball. And the finale at Arizona could feature the Cardinals junior varsity if their playoff position is already determined. The timing seems perfect to give Wilson the green light and see what develops. They might like what they see.

U.S. Fed betting it will avoid central banks’ previous errors BY PAN PYLAS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve is poised to raise interest rates today for the first time in 9½ years. It might not take so long to know whether its decision was correct. History is filled with cases, from the Fed in the 1930s to the European Central Bank in 2011, when central banks raised rates prematurely, sometimes with dire consequences. Raising rates or otherwise tightening credit too soon can slow borrowing, jolt confidence and choke growth. When the global financial system started buckling in 2007, central banks cut rates to fight the worst economic catastrophe since the 1930s. As the crisis escalated in late 2008, many rates were slashed to record lows. The Fed cut its benchmark rate to near zero. Mindful of the risks of higher rates and of the U.S. economy’s lingering weaknesses, some economists have suggested that the Fed could wait a bit longer before raising rates, especially with inflation still low amid slumping oil and com-

Stern, Sirius deal THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen prepares to testify Feb. 24, 2015, on Capitol Hill in Washington, before the Senate Banking Committee. The financial world’s worst-kept secret is that the Federal Reserve is all but sure to raise interest rates from record lows, on Wednesday. modity prices. In a survey of top academic economists, the University of Chicago found that while 48 percent favored a rate hike, 36 percent felt the Fed should hold off. Andrew Levin of Dartmouth College is among those who think the Fed is acting too soon. “The economy is not that close to normal yet,” Levin said. “Inflation has been persistently falling short of the Fed’s target.” Levin notes, too, that while the unemployment rate is a low 5 percent, millions without jobs have given up looking for one. Levin said employers would have to add 200,000

jobs a month for at least another year to restore the job market’s health. For any central bank, the hardest task is to continually straddle a delicate balance: Keeping rates too low for too long can inflate asset bubbles as investors seek returns that are higher — but riskier — than returns on government debt. Low rates can also weaken the ability of central banks to combat a new crisis or recession. But equally, central bankers must take care not to increase rates too soon. Since the global financial crisis, several central banks, from Israel’s to New Zealand’s, have raised rates

only to have to reverse course soon after. Chair Janet Yellen summed it up in a speech Dec. 2. Yellen said delaying a first increase too long might later compel the Fed to raise rates faster than it would like. “An abrupt tightening would risk disrupting financial markets and perhaps even inadvertently push the economy into recession,” she said. “Holding the federal funds rate at its current level for too long could also encourage excessive risktaking and thus undermine financial stability.”

What I do mind, however, is the hostility I encounter. “What makes you think you’re better than the rest of us?” is the most common comment. I don’t think I am, and I certainly have never implied it. I need a response that won’t fuel the fire and will hopefully allow me to eat in peace. Thoughts? Vegan Girl in Massachusetts
