Sheriff’s Office: No good leads in hunt for missing 13-year-old BY JEREMY SCHWARTZ PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — After following up on more than a dozen tips, the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office said it has no confirmed information on the whereabouts of a 13-year-old Port Angeles boy who has been missing for approximately three weeks. Detective Sgt. Lyman Moores said Thursday that deputies have followed up on most every lead since Joshua Gershon was reported as a runaway by his stepfather, Otto Gershon, on Oct. 3. Moores said possible sightings reported of Joshua included a wooded
area in west Port Angeles near Stevens Middle School and the Discovery Bay area in Jefferson County, though no sightings were confirmed. “We’re getting a lot of response from the general public as J. Gershon far as people who may have seen him,” Moores said. “We don’t have a specific direction in which we’re looking.” Joshua, who has run away before, was last seen near his home in east Port
Angeles wearing blue jeans, a dark-blue coat and tennis shoes. He is about 5 feet tall, weighs 90 pounds and has short brown hair and blue eyes. Moores could provide no other specific updates on the search, only that Clallam County sheriff’s deputies and detectives are still actively searching for Joshua and following up on leads as best they can. Joshua’s information has been entered into a national law enforcement database, Moores said, so that agencies across the country will know he has been reported as a runaway. TURN TO MISSING/A6

Flu season is around the corner, and health officials on the North Olympic Peninsula are reminding the public to get vaccinated and take common-sense preventative steps to keep the bug in check. Flu shots are being ALSO . . . offered by health care pro■ Where to viders and most pharmaget flu shots cies in Clallam and Jefferon the North son counties. Olympic Anyone older than 6 Peninsula/A6 months is encouraged to get a shot. “Get it now,” said Iva Burks, Clallam County Health and Human Services director. “It’s not too early.” State officials said there’s no shortage of the flu vaccine this year. Dr. Tom Locke, public health officer for Clallam and Jefferson counties, said it’s “always difficult to know” how severe the flu season will be. “Unfortunately, we have no reason to believe we’re not going to have a flu season,” he said. Influenza generally peaks in January, but getting vaccinated now will provide immunity through spring. “There are some people who have already had [the flu],” Burks said. “We are recommending that everyone get their flu shots.”
Three forms Jefferson County public health nurse Jane Kurata said the vaccine is available in three forms: the regular flu shot; a high-dose vaccine for people 65 and older; and a nasal spray for healthy people between 2 and 49 years old. Kurata said the vaccine is especially important for young children, people older than 65, pregnant women, parents of newborns and people with pre-existing conditions such as asthma, heart disease and diabetes. “Vaccine is the best protection we have against the flu,” said Dr. Maxine Hayes, state health officer. “Getting it now, before people around you start getting sick, will protect you through the flu season, which usually peaks in January but starts earlier.” TURN
