NATION/WORLD East Oregonian Page 6A Friday, September 29, 2017 Puerto Ricans say U.S. relief efforts failing them SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The Trump administration declared Thursday that its relief efforts in Puerto Rico are succeeding, but people on the island said help was scarce and disorganized while food supplies dwindled in some remote towns eight days after Hurricane Maria devastated the U.S. territory of 3.4 million people. President Donald Trump cleared the way for more supplies to head to Puerto Rico by issuing a 10-day waiver of federal restrictions on foreign ships delivering cargo to the island. And House Speaker Paul Ryan said the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief account would get a $6.7 billion boost by the end of the week. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke declared that “the relief effort is under control.” “It is really a good news story, in terms of our ability to reach people,” she told reporters in the White House driveway. Outside the capital, San Juan, people said that was far from the truth. “I have not received any help, and we ran out of food yesterday,” said Mari Olivo, a 27-year-old homemaker whose husband was pushing a shopping cart with empty plastic gallon jugs while their two children, 9 and 7, each toted a large bucket. They stood in line in a parking lot in the town of Bayamon near the hard-hit northern coast, where local police used hoses to fill up containers from a city water truck. “I have not seen any federal help around here,” said Javier San Miguel, a 51-year-old accountant. Trump tweeted later: “FEMA & First Responders are doing a GREAT job in Puerto Rico.” He also took issue with media coverage of the administration’s response, writing: “Wish press would treat fairly!” Job in jeopardy, HHS chief promises to repay costs WASHINGTON (AP) — Fighting to keep his job, health secretary Tom Price said Thursday he’d write a personal check to reimburse taxpayers for his travel on charter flights taken on government business and pledged to fly commercial — “no exceptions.” The repayment — $51,887.31, according to Price’s office — covered only the secretary’s seat. Price did not address the overall cost of the flights, which could amount to several hundred thousand dollars and is under investigation. “I regret the concerns this has raised regarding the use of taxpayer dollars,” Price said in a statement. “I was not sensitive enough to my concern for the taxpayer.” His mea culpa came a day after a public rebuke from President Donald Trump. A former congressman from Georgia regarded as a conservative policy expert, AP Photo/Ramon Espinosa People affected by Hurricane Maria bathe in and collect water piped from a creek in the mountains, in Naranjito, Puerto Rico, Thursday. Residents of the area drive to the pipes to bathe because they were left without water supplies by the damage caused by Hurricane Maria. The pipe was set up by a neighbor who ran it from a creek in his property to the side of the road in order to help those left without water. Price said he hopes to keep his Cabinet seat. At the White House, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders wouldn’t go that far. “We’re going to conduct a full review and we’ll see what happens,” Sanders told reporters. Travel by other top officials is also attracting scrutiny. Price said the president had personally let him know of his displeasure. “As he has said publicly, he wasn’t happy, and he expressed that to me very clearly,” Price said Thursday evening on Fox News. All his travel was legally approved by officials at Health and Human Services, Price said. It amounted to 10 trips with 26 different segments. On Wednesday Trump had declared that he’s “not happy” over reports that Price flew on costly charters when he could have taken cheaper commercial flights. Asked whether he’d fire Price, Trump said, “We’ll see.” Dakota Access developer gives $15M toward security BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The builder of the Dakota Access pipeline sent North Dakota $15 million on Thursday to help pay law enforcement bills related to months of sometimes violent protests over the project’s construction. Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners has wired the money, said Mike Nowatzki, a spokesman for Gov. Doug Burgum. Company investors also contributed, he said. The $3.8 billion pipeline began moving oil from North Dakota to a distribution point in Illinois in June. The project is still being contested in federal court by American Indian tribes who fear a leak could endanger their water supply, and protests from August to February resulted in a large-scale police response and more than 700 arrests. The state has arranged for a bank credit line of up to $43 million to cover policing costs, including $5 million just added this week. Maj. Gen. Alan Dohrmann, who heads the North Dakota National Guard, has said costs shouldn’t go past that figure. Burgum said in a statement he was grateful for the contribution. “We remain committed to pursuing all available avenues to ensure that North Dakota taxpayers alone don’t bear the enormous costs of law enforcement, life safety and other resources expended on the protests,” he said. North Dakota officials, including the state’s congressional delegation, have long pushed for federal reimbursement to cover all costs related to the protests. Burgum asked President Donald Trump for a disaster declaration earlier this year to cover the costs of the protest, but the request was denied. The state on Monday did get a $10 million grant from the U.S. Justice Department to help pay some of the policing bills. Get flu shots, U.S. urges amid concerns about bad season WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s flu shot time, and health officials are bracing for a potentially miserable fall and winter. The clues: The Southern Hemisphere, especially Australia, was hit hard over the past few months with a flu strain that’s notorious for causing severe illness, especially in seniors. And in the U.S., small clusters of that so-called H3N2 flu already are popping up. “We don’t know what’s going to happen but there’s a chance we could have a season similar to Australia,” Dr. Daniel Jernigan, influenza chief at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told The Associated Press. The worrisome news came as the government urged Americans Thursday to make sure they get a flu shot before influenza starts spreading widely. Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price got his own jab to publicize the importance, saying, “There’s no reason not to get protected.” Last year, only about 47 percent of the population was vaccinated. CDC’s Jernigan cautions there’s no good way to predict how bad the upcoming flu season will be. That H3N2 strain caused infections here last year, too. And although strains that circulate in the Southern Hemisphere often spread to North America and Europe, there’s no guarantee it will make a repeat performance. Still, H3N2 is “the bad actor,” said Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University and the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. “If you needed another reason to get vaccinated, there it is. Best get that protection.” Climber: Rock fall strikes Yosemite for a second day SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A massive new rock fall hit Yosemite National Park on Thursday, cracking with a thundering roar off the iconic El Capitan rock formation and sending huge plumes of white dust surging through the valley floor below. It was not immediately clear if there were new casualties, a day after another slab dropped from El Capitan, killing a British climber and injuring a second. Ken Yager, president and founder of the Yosemite Climbing Association, said he witnessed the most recent rock fall that appeared to be “substantially bigger” than the earlier one. Driving past the base of El Capitan, Yager said he saw the dust cloud and emergency workers rushing to the scene. Images posted on social media showed a massive cloud of thick dust spreading across Yosemite Valley. Climber Ryan Sheridan had just reached the top of El Capitan, a 7,569-foot formation, when the rock slide let loose below him Thursday. “There was so much smoke and debris,” he said by cellphone from the top of El Capitan. “It filled the entire valley with smoke.” Sheridan had also climbed up El Capitan a day earlier, when the first rock slide occurred and said this one was huge in comparison. “It was in the same location of the previous rock fall. A larger rock fall let loose, easily three times the size,” Sheridan said.
