Large print book collection grows with dollar donations Birthday money adds up for library with 40 new titles BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — A donation from a 97-year-old woman subsidized the purchase of 40 large-print books by the Port Townsend Library, expanding its inventory of books developed for the sight-impaired. Prior to her birthday in July, Barbara Clayton, a resident of Seaport

Landing — a retirement community — decided she wanted gifts that would benefit the local library, a cause she has supported all her life. “My family usually gives me clothes and chocolate,” she said. “I have enough clothes to last me and have enough chocolate, although sometimes I give it to other [Seaport Landing] residents to make me more popular.”

Gifts to library Clayton asked her family to contribute any gifts for her birthday to the Port Townsend Friends of the Library, which eventually took in about $600.

This included a $97 contribution from Clayton, a dollar for each year of her life. After collecting the money, the Friends of the Library met and settled on large-print books. “Large-print books are wonderful for people who are avid readers but have a vision impairment,” said Melody Sky Eisler, director of the public library at 1220 Lawrence St. “They are in demand in Port Townsend, and our patrons are always asking for new titles.” The new books were made available for circulation Wednesday.

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — The Poma lift has begun operating and is expected to be open Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The lift to the Hurricane Ridge Ski and Snowboard Area’s longer, steeper runs began operation Jan. 9, and plans are to open it again for the long Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend. “You need to be at least an intermediatelevel skier,” said Russ Morrison, a past president of the Hurricane Ridge Ski and Snowboard Club, which operates the ski area in Olympic National Park. Hurricane Ridge Road will be open, weather permitting, Friday through Monday, although the Poma lift will not be open until Saturday. Monday will be a free entry day to the park. The ski area needs about 2 more feet of snow for the best possible ski conditions, but the current snow is excellent for so early in the season, Morrison said. During the past week, some snow has fallen, but it was not certain how much because the automated weather station on Hurricane Ridge is broken, and no one has been to the area since Sunday, he said. As of Wednesday morning, the park service reported 70 inches of snow — 5.8 feet — with at least 3 inches of new snow at the snow stake. Morrison said last weekend’s Poma opening is among the earliest he could remember, and he has been skiing at Hurricane Ridge since 1968. The combination of the early opening and clear weather has produced very busy ski weekends, he added. When the parking lot is full, long lines can form at the Heart o’ the Hills entry station because only one car is allowed up for each car that exits the parking lot at the Ridge. TURN

1st Security taking over 4 bank branches Staff to stay; accounts open Jan. 25 BY CHARLIE BERMANT PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT TOWNSEND — Once Bank of America leaves the Olympic Peninsula, its replacement will provide a level of customer service not available from a large national bank, according to the 1st Security Bank CEO. “We are the benefactor of Bank of America’s decision to get out of the marketplace, which is shocking to me,” Joe Adams told about 60 people at a meeting of the Port Townsend Kiwanis Club on Wednesday. “We are really excited to be out

here and to be part of these communities.” At noon Jan. 22, Bank of America locations in Port Townsend, Port Hadlock, Sequim and Port Angeles will close. They will reopen as branches of 1st Security at 9 a.m. Jan. 25. The bank has no plans to close branches. The impending sale of four North Olympic Peninsula branch locations to 1st Security Bank, based in Mountlake Terrace, was announced in September. No purchase price has been reported. The four branches join the seven the bank has in Seattle, Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mill Creek,

Redmond, Poulsbo and Puyallup. The four Peninsula branches began life as Seafirst Bank and were purchased by Bank of America in 1983. The transfer to 1st Security signals a return to local service, Adams said. He compared the newly configured bank to locally-owned Kitsap Bank and First Federal. There is enough room for all these community banks, he said, and enough big bank business that community banks can acquire.

Iran frees U.S. sailors day after boat capture BY ALI AKBAR DAREINI AND ADAM SCHRECK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEHRAN, Iran — All 10 U.S. Navy sailors detained by Iran after their two small boats allegedly drifted into Iranian territorial waters around one of Iran’s Persian Gulf islands a day earlier have been freed, the United States and Iran said Wednesday. A senior U.S. defense official said the 10 American sailors briefly held by Iran arrived at a U.S. military facility in Qatar following their release.

Defused situation The sailors’ swift release quickly defused what could have escalated into an international crisis days before Iran is expected to meet the terms of last summer’s nuclear deal with world powers. The deal gives Iran significant relief from painful economic sanctions.

The nine men and one woman were held at an Iranian base on Farsi Island after they were detained nearby on Tuesday. The tiny outpost has been used as a base for Revolutionary Guard speedboats as far back as the 1980s.

Sailors not harmed The Navy said there were no indications they had been harmed while in custody. Iranian state television aired later Wednesday dramatic sunset images of the moment the Revolutionary Guard forces boarded the American vessels and captured the sailors, showing them all kneeling on the deck, their hands on their heads. After their release, the sailors departed the island aboard the boats they were detained with, the Navy said. They were picked up by Navy aircraft and other sailors took control of their boats for the

return voyage to Bahrain, where the U.S. 5th Fleet is based. The sailors were being taken ashore somewhere in the region so that they could receive support to reintegrate with their unit, said 5th Fleet spokesman Cmdr. Kevin Stephens. He declined to say where they were traveling to or provide details on their identities. Stephens said the priority now is “determining . . . how exactly these sailors found themselves in Iran. And that’s something we’re going to be looking at.”

Photos published The Revolutionary Guard’s official website published images of the detained U.S. sailors before their release, showing them sitting on the floor of a room. They look mostly bored or annoyed, though at least one of the sailors appears to be smiling. The sole woman had her hair covered by a brown cloth.

Briefly: World Turkish police arrest five in fatal bombing ISTANBUL — Turkish police have arrested five people suspected of direct links to the deadly suicide bombing that killed 10 Germans in Istanbul’s main tourist area, officials said Wednesday. More than a dozen other suspected Islamic State group militants were detained Wednesday in other parts of the country Ala and 59 a day earlier, but officials said they don’t appear to be tied to Tuesday’s attack just steps away from the Blue Mosque in Istanbul’s historic Sultanahmet district. One suspect with a link to the attack was detained in Istanbul late Tuesday, Interior Minister Efkan Ala said during a news conference with his German counterpart. He didn’t provide further details. Turkish media said police raided a home in an affluent

Istanbul neighborhood, briefly detaining one woman suspected of links to the Islamic State group, although it wasn’t clear if she was the suspect Ala was referring to.

South Korea fires shots SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea on Wednesday fired 20 machine gun warning shots after a North Korean drone briefly crossed the rivals’ border, officials said, the first shots fired in a Cold War-style standoff between the Koreas in the wake of the North’s nuclear test last week. The North Korean drone was flying dozens of yards south of the border and turned back to the North after the South fired the shots, South Korean defense and military officials said, requesting anonymity because of office rules. North Korean drone flights across the world’s most heavily armed border are rare but have happened before. North Korea has in recent years touted its drone program, a relatively new addition to its arsenal. In 2013, state media said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had watched a drone attack drill on a simulated South Korean target. The Associated Press

House approves resolution restricting finances for Iran BY RICHARD LARDNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Less than 24 hours after Iran’s detention and release of U.S. sailors, the House approved GOP-backed legislation that amplifies Republican distrust of Tehran and would give Congress greater oversight of the landmark nuclear agreement. Lawmakers voted 191-106 Wednesday to approve the Iran Terror Finance Transparency Act, spurning a veto threat from Pres-

Quick Read

ident Barack Obama. The White House said the bill could cause “the collapse” of the July agreement and that the president will reject the legislation if it reaches his desk. The vote came as the potentially volatile incident in Iran’s territorial waters was swiftly resolved. The 10 U.S. Navy sailors were freed unharmed early Wednesday as the White House cited new lines of communication with Iran established during the nuclear negotiations as key to the

speedy resolution. The House bill would bar the removal of certain individuals and foreign financial institutions on a restricted list kept by the Treasury Department until the president certifies to Congress that they weren’t involved in Iran’s ballistic missiles program or in terrorist activities. The vote count fell well short of the number needed to override a veto. Republican leaders agreed to allow members another opportunity to vote Jan. 26.

World: Airliner search turns up ocean shipwreck

A WATCHDOG HAS found no evidence of bias in how the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency conducted a study on the potential effects of largescale mining on a world-premier salmon fishery in Alaska’s Bristol Bay region. The inspector general for the EPA also concluded in a report released Wednesday that the agency did not predetermine the study’s outcome. But the report found that a nowretired EPA employee in Alaska used his personal email in 2010 to suggest edits to a tribal petition requesting that the agency take action to protect the Bristol Bay region.

MEMBERS OF THE Michigan National Guard began arriving in Flint on Wednesday for briefings on the drinking water crisis ahead of a larger contingent of Guardsmen who will help distribute bottled water, filters and other supplies to residents. Gov. Rick Snyder had activated the National Guard late Tuesday. Flint’s tap water became contaminated with too much lead after the city switched its water supply in 2014 to save money while under state financial management. Local officials declared a public health emergency in October after tests that showed children with elevated levels of lead.

SOME DETROIT SCHOOLS were closed Wednesday because of an absence of teachers, although the number was lower than in previous days. The district reported at least five closings Wednesday, compared to about two dozen Tuesday and more than 60 on Monday, affecting tens of thousands of students. Teachers are upset over class sizes, pay, the condition of buildings and a plan by Gov. Rick Snyder to deal with millions in debt by creating a new district. Teacher Nina Chacker said teachers have been ignored and “had to cause an interruption” with the so-called sick-out.

AN UNDERSEA SEARCH for a Malaysian airliner that vanished almost two years ago has found a second 19th-century shipwreck deep in the Indian Ocean off the west Australian coast, officials said Wednesday. A sonar search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 found what appeared to be a man-made object on Dec. 19, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said in a statement. An underwater drone captured highresolution sonar images on Jan. 2 that confirmed that the find was a shipwreck, said the bureau, which is running the search for the Boeing 777 that vanished March 8, 2014.

Clallam commissioners back $54M school bond BY ROB OLLIKAINEN PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — In a shift from longstanding practice, Clallam County commissioners will publicly support school bonds and levies. The three commissioners Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution backing the Sequim School District’s proposed construction bond that will appear on the Feb. 9 special election ballot. The $54 million measure, if approved by voters, would pay for a new elementary school and other major improvements for the district’s aging and cramped facilities. County commissioners have not taken official positions on school bonds and levies for the better part of a decade. “We’ve left it up to individual commissioners representing those districts to write letters of support,” said Mike Chapman, longtime commissioner and board chairman. “I wouldn’t say that either process is the right way to go, but state law did change where it makes it more difficult for individual elected officials to take individual support. So state law somewhat points us in a direction of taking public support.”

As such, Chapman predicted that future boards would back school bonds and levies as part of an economic development initiative. “It would be difficult for the board to sit up here and say we’re all for economic development but not support strong schools,” Chapman said. “But I also think it would be difficult for boards of commissioners to sit up here and evaluate particular ballot items. We could get bogged down, and that’s not going to be our business. That’s up to the local school boards.” Commissioners should not “pick winners and losers” because every bond and levy is vetted and approved by a majority of an elected school board, Chapman said. “Once a bond gets to the ballot, it’s a good idea,” he said. “Whether the voters want to fund that good idea is always going to be up to the voters. And it’s probably not going to matter what the board of commissioners say.”

Public testimony Commissioners received public testimony Tuesday from supporters of the Sequim construction bond for the second time in as

many weeks. If approved, the bond would be used to renovate and expand Greywolf Elementary, build a new elementary school, repurpose Helen Haller Elementary for alternative school uses, renovate and expand Sequim High School, demolish a Sequim Community School building and upgrade the district kitchen and maintenance facility. The bond also would fund a new science wing of six laboratory classrooms at Sequim High and add band, orchestra and choir rooms to the performing arts wing. Brandino Gibson, Citizens for Sequim Schools vice president, told commissioners that schools are a “focal point for a community.” “This is not just a Sequim issue,” Gibson said. “This is a community, county issue.” If the levy passes, the estimated rate would be $2.16 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, which is less than half of the state average of $4.54, Gibson said. “That’s a pretty astounding statistic,” said Commissioner Mark Ozias, whose district includes the Sequim-Dungeness Valley. Commissioner Bill Peach agreed that strong schools are important for

The Friends of the Library took special care to avoid buying duplicate titles, Eisler said. She said large-print books can cost twice as much as standard books because of the printing process and the use of more pages. They are, she said, generally more durable and better constructed than standard library books.

economic development. Voters in the Sequim School District nearly passed a $49.3 million construction bond that appeared on the Nov. 3 ballot. The measure failed by just 54 votes, with 59.6 percent of those in the Sequim School District voting yes. School bonds require a 60 percent supermajority to pass. Speaking as a citizen of the county, Port Angeles School Board member Sarah Methner testified in support of the Sequim school bond. “These schools are old and they need to be fixed,” Methner said. “We can compete better, we can attract new business, we can attract young professionals if we have the schools.” The Sequim City Council unanimously supported the construction bond Monday.

PORT ANGELES — Clallam County commissioners have put the brakes on naming a Port Angeles representative to the Trust Lands Advisory Committee. Commissioners Tuesday removed Port Angeles Deputy Mayor Cherie Kidd from a resolution appointing new members to a 16-member ad hoc panel that will study state management of revenue-producing forest trust lands. City Councilman Lee Whetham told commissioners that the council had not discussed the city’s participation on the committee, let alone the appointment of a specific member. “If you guys would grant us the patience for us to actually have this open, public discussion during our

council meeting, that would be much appreciated,” Whetham said. The next council meeting will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 321 E. Fifth St. Whetham said he learned third-hand Monday that the city was slated to participate and that a representative had been forwarded by exMayor Dan Di Guilio. “Again, I ask that you postpone the actual name and keep our spot open at the table for future discussion by Port Angeles City Council,” Whetham said. “It’s not a democratic action that’s occurred, and I’d like to just put the brakes on. Keep our spot at the table if we choose to participate.” Board Chairman Mike Chapman said a city representative would be appointed to the committee with City

Council approval. Kidd could not be reached for comment Wednesday. She told commissioners in a Nov. 23 work session the city “would be happy to participate” if wanted, needed or requested. Kidd thanked commissioners Jan. 5 for providing the additional spot. “It’s an important issue for our community,” she said of timber sales. “It brings in sales tax to the city, sales tax to the county.”

Modified resolution The modified resolution that commissioners passed Tuesday appointed to the committee Josey Paul of the North Olympic Group of the Sierra Club, Coleman Byrnes of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society and Darryl Wolfe of Olympic Medical Center. The committee had sought members from those organizations and the city of Port Angeles because representatives expressed a willingness to participate. The Clallam County

Trust Lands Advisory Committee held its first meeting Dec. 18. Its second meeting will be at noon Friday at the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles. The committee will hear a presentation on Clallam County trust lands and DNR trust management. Last summer, the elected Clallam County Charter Review Commission voted 10-4 to ask the board of commissioners to assemble a committee to examine state management of county trust lands. Specifically, it asked the committee to examine the “history, issues, benefits, challenges” of reconveying state Department of Natural Resources trust lands back to the county for management. If reconveyance is not in the county’s best interest, the committee will engage DNR on how it is fulfilling its trust obligations to the county, its citizens and junior taxing districts that rely on timber sales to fund schools, hospitals, libraries and fire districts.

PORT TOWNSEND — Larry Crockett, who has served as the Port of Port Townsend’s executive director since 1999, has announced he will retire June 1. Crockett made the announcement Wednesday. “The time is right for me to step away,” he said in an email. “We have a stable commission in place, current port projects are well in hand and we have sufficient time before the next budget cycle begins. “This is a window of opportunity that I hope will allow the port to move forward with minimal impact. Crockett “I’ll be 69 this summer, and I have some other adventures I want to try while I am still in good health.” Commission President Peter Hanke said commissioners will begin discussions immediately on a process for replacing Crockett. He said Crockett has accomplished much during his tenure. “When Larry was hired in 1999, the port couldn’t pay its bills and had to secure a line of credit just to meet cash flow,” Hanke said. “He and his staff have done an outstanding job of placing the port on sound financial footing, which enables more than 400 marine trades jobs to flourish in an environment where other ports are struggling.” Born in Presque Isle, Maine, Crockett earned a bachelor’s at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., and a master’s at Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Fla. He served 30 years in the U.S. Army, retiring in February 1999 as a full colonel. While in service, he attended numerous schools, including the Command and General Staff College and Industrial College of the Armed Forces. He has commanded at all levels and is a decorated combat veteran, according to the press release. “The thing I miss most about the military was the fact that in 30 years of service, I felt that I was part of something larger than myself,” Crockett said. “I never thought I would get that feeling again after retiring. But I found that again at the Port of Port Townsend.” The port’s executive director is responsible for all operations and lease negotiations with more than 175 tenants/businesses, leading a staff of 26 people who oversee operations of three marinas, boat yards, industrial parks and Jefferson County International Airport.

Briefly . . . Kids Create Art continues SEQUIM — The Kids Create Art program series continues at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave., on Saturday. These introductory art classes take place from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. every third Saturday of the month, January through May. Led by local artists, each Kids Create Art session — recommended for ages 7 to 12 — offers students an opportunity to explore various artistic media. All classes in the series are free, but with class sizes limited to 20 attendees, preregistration is required. To register, visit the Sequim Library events calendar at www.nols.org, phone 360-683-1161 or email youth@nols.org. All materials are provided. The Jan. 16 session, “Color Blooms,” has participants mixing colors in unexpected ways by creating layers and learning how colors change from light to dark. Students also explore the meaning of colors, as well as their expressive qualities. Melissa Klein is a local artist and is teaching art at the North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center. Building on skills explored in the January session, Klein returns Feb. 20 with “Color, Color, Color.” Students experiment with light and shadow to make their paintings come to life. Klein demonstrates how changing the color palette can dramatically alter the feeling of a painting. Students are encouraged to attend both classes, but attendance at both is not required to participate in either session. Artist Carrie Rodlend leads the March 19 session, “Spring Equinox and Landscapes.” This session gives students an opportunity to develop a story about the abundance of spring in a painted landscape.

Briefly . . . PA schools mull meals provider PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles School Board will consider hiring Sodexo, which prepares meals during school hours, to also provide after-school meals. The board will consider the proposal during its 7 p.m. meeting today at the Central Services Building, 216 E. Fourth St. The regular meeting may be preceded by an executive session at 6 p.m. The meals would supplement tutoring done by AmeriCorps volunteers and similar programs. Funding for the supplemental food services contract is expected to come from the federal Child and Adult Care Food Program through the state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Sodexo would obtain the food, prepare the meals and deliver the meals to each site for $3.07 each, an amount that OSPI would reimburse. Meals would begin Feb. 23 and end June 30. The board also will consider a second grade paraeducator at Jefferson School because of high enrollment.

A pair of shuttered houses at 413 W. Second St. in Port Angeles are part of a parcel being considered for purchase by the Port of Port Angeles.

PA port mulls buying 2nd Street property priate renovations, could be used to support the industrial park with off-street parking or ancillary use by the port’s facility maintenance department, which is located less than 80 feet to the east, Kerr said. “This property, because of the location, will help with potential . . . parking if it is necessary,” she said. “It will also help our facilities maintenance have an easier route for keeping their maintenance supplies, vehicles and such at a closer location to their actual building for maintenance.” After negotiating a purchase price, port staff would obtain an appraisal and complete Phase 1 of the process, an environmental site assessment.

BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — The Port of Port Angeles is negotiating the terms for a purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition of a 0.32-acre property at 413 W. Second St. The cost had not been determined as of Tuesday, when the three port commissioners directed Karen Goschen, the port’s interim executive director, to begin the negotiation process. This property, zoned as commercial/arterial, would allow for expansion of the port’s industrial and commercial land holdings on or near Marine Drive, Tanya M. Kerr, the port’s property manager, told commissioners during the meeting. The property, which is across from the port’s newly minted Marine Trades Industrial Park, is owned by Josh Armstrong. The property could be used as a parking lot or as a storage yard, Kerr said, although “plans are not set in stone.” Two vacant residential buildings are on the property. A third building was demolished within the past two years, Kerr said. If purchased, the port mostly likely would demolish the remaining buildings, she said. The property, with appro-

to proceed,” she said. Based on the results of the appraisal and site assessment, port staff would conduct additional reviews if necessary. If there are no significant concerns, and if the purchase price is within 110 percent of the appraised value, Goschen may proceed to the closing of escrow with approval of the commissioners.

Other agenda items In other business, the port commissioners: ■ Authorized $8,000 to fund an upcoming business trip by Jennifer States, the port’s director of business development, to attend the JEC World Composites Show and Conferences in Paris from March 8-10. ■ Increased Goschen’s salary by $1,000 a month while in the post of interim executive director — retroactive to Jan. 1 — which increases her annual salary by $12,000 to $143,770, and increased her vacation time from three to five weeks to be accrued on an annual basis while in the position of interim executive director.

“This property . . . has been residential, we believe, since at least 1914, so we don’t think there is going to be much” turned up in the assessment, Kerr said, “but we would like to make sure.” The site “is located near the gas station,” which is to the northeast of the property, she said. “The gas station has ________ their tanks in [a] location which is just north of our Reporter Chris McDaniel can area, so we do want to have be reached at 360-452-2345, ext. some studies done just to 5074, or cmcdaniel@peninsula make sure that we are safe dailynews.com.

Hillary has her ‘Groundhog Day’ “Slip slidin’ away Slip slidin’ away You know the nearer your destination The more you’re slip slidin’ away.” — Paul Simon IT’S HAPPENING Cal AGAIN. The Thomas “inevitability” of Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy may not be so inevitable after all. Unlike eight years ago when Barack Obama beat her for the Democratic nomination and ultimately won the office Hillary and her supporters believed she was entitled to, this time her main opponent is not just Sen. Bernie Sanders, a socialist, it is Hillary Clinton herself. Serious media and congressional investigations into Richard Nixon’s Watergate crimes did not begin until after his landslide

win in 1972. In Hillary Clinton’s case, damaging investigations are occurring in the middle of her campaign. Catherine Herridge, chief intelligence correspondent for the Fox News Channel, reports: “The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state has expanded to look at whether the possible ‘intersection’ of Clinton Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public corruption laws, three intelligence sources not authorized to speak on the record told Fox News. “This track is in addition to the focus on classified material found on Clinton’s personal server.” As www.investors.com notes, “Hillary Clinton’s support among Democrats nationally has taken a serious tumble, falling eight points to 43 percent, according to the latest IBD/ TIPP Poll. “Support for her chief rival, Bernie Sanders, rose six points to 39 percent.

“As a result, Clinton’s lead over Sanders, which had been 18 points, is now just four points.” According to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist College poll, Clinton and Sanders are in tight races in both Iowa and New Hampshire. With fewer than three weeks before the Iowa caucuses, such numbers are not good news for any candidate, especially Hillary Clinton, whose veracity and job record in the various offices and positions she has held are anything but stellar. Very quickly, Clinton has gone from big mo, to slow mo, to no mo. Americans wisely don’t fully trust politicians of either party, but Hillary Clinton suffers more than most. Last August, a Quinnipiac University poll found that only 34 percent of those Americans surveyed believed Clinton is “honest and trustworthy.” Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the poll, reports CNN. com, said that Clinton is experiencing a “continuing slide” with

how she is “perceived by voters who continue to say she is not honest and trustworthy.” Democrats are likely worried not just about whether Clinton can capture the nomination — and the odds still favor that outcome — but whether she will be further damaged by the FBI investigations and whether that damage could possibly lead to an indictment, as some Republicans hope. Donald Trump has added to Clinton’s woes by bringing up her husband’s past behavior toward women at a time when she has positioned herself as the women’s champion. Voices are being heard among

the political classes about the possibility of replacing Clinton on the Democratic ticket with Vice President Joe Biden should that become necessary. Such a move could severely impair the Democrat’s ability to win the female vote. In a highly unpredictable political year, the Biden scenario would take unpredictability to a new level. I saw a bumper sticker recently that proclaimed the driver was “Ready for Hillary.” With the candidate’s disapproval numbers rising and her approval numbers slip slidin’ away, it doesn’t appear that too many other voters are, in fact, ready.

Stateless and the State of the Union PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA delivered his final State of the Union address Tuesday night before an almost-full joint session of Congress. Almost full because of the Amy empty seat Goodman next to first lady Michelle Obama. The White House stated, “We leave one seat empty in the First Lady’s State of the Union Guest Box for the victims of gun violence who no longer have a voice — because they need the rest of us to speak for them. “To tell their stories. “To honor their memory.” That symbol, the empty chair, creates a moment to reflect on who else wasn’t seated in that august gallery in the Capitol, like the undocumented immigrants rounded up in the New Year’s raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Hundreds, if not thousands (the number is not known), of people, mostly from the Central American nations of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, have

been arrested in raids across the country. Entire families, single mothers with children and individuals, many of whom fled for their lives from violence in their home countries, now are being swept up by armed federal agents and prepared for deportation. I asked Maryland Congresswoman Donna Edwards, now running for the Senate, about the ICE raids. “I think it’s irresponsible,” she told me. “This sort of extreme enforcement in communities that, in the congressional district that I represent, is causing so much great fear — children not going to school, people not going to work, being afraid to be seen and visible in their communities.” Her sentiments have been echoed on the campaign trail by both Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The raids have provoked protests across the country. Last Friday, seven people were arrested in New York City in front of the local ICE headquarters, chaining themselves together and blocking traffic. Among those arrested was Claudia Palacios.

Her story is remarkable. She was born in Texas and served for five years in the U.S. Marines, with two years in Okinawa and several years around the world deployed with a Marine Expeditionary Unit. Even though she served her country honorably, this U.S.-born military veteran has documentation issues of her own. Her mother was undocumented. Like many pregnant women in her situation, she was afraid to go to the hospital. Claudia was born with the help of a midwife in a trailer park. It was the midwife who signed her birth certificate. “That birth certificate was recognized by the military in order for me to join the service,” she told us on the “Democracy Now!” news hour. “Once I was an active-duty service member, I applied with the Department of State for a passport, and they failed to recognize my birth certificate.” Now, out of the Marines without her U.S. military I.D. badge and no passport, “I’m basically stateless,” she explained. “I can’t leave my country.” The empty chair was on the first lady’s right.

The same White House press statement that described the symbolism of the chair said that Vazquez “came to the United States as a child in search of a better life. “From age 12 when he moved from Mexico to Phoenix, Ariz., Oscar excelled in the classroom. . . . But without legal status, he couldn’t secure a job to provide for his new wife and newborn child.” After receiving a green card, his biography continued, “Oscar enlisted in the Army to serve the country he loves and calls home. “Oscar served one tour in Afghanistan and is now a proud U.S. citizen.” Claudia Palacios was not satisfied: “I think it’s a mockery to have him be a guest, an honored guest, at the State of the Union,” she explained, “and then not even initiate the conversation of immigration and how we are going to deal with this or how

NEW YORK — Blood pressures are rising at many small businesses now that tax season is underway. Although many owners hire accountants and attorneys to complete their income tax returns, taxes are a hassle. In a survey released last year by the advocacy group National Small Business Association, nearly 60 percent of the owners surveyed said the administrative burdens were the biggest problems posed by federal taxes. And 85 percent of the more than 675 owners said they relied on a professional to prepare their returns. Owners can make the process easier by being organized and watching out for tax pitfalls, accountants say.

incomplete records are one of the biggest problems accountants see at small businesses. Rather than using accounting software yearround, owners stuff receipts and bank statements into file folders and then have to sort them as the tax deadline approaches. Using accounting software to organize records will ease the process and help guard against costly errors, said Scott Berger, an accountant with the firm Kaufman Rossin in Boca Raton, Fla. ■ Tax time, a teachable moment: Many owners don’t bother to ask for a copy of their tax returns, said Emilio Escandon, an accountant with Morrison, Brown, Argiz & Farra in New York. That’s a bad idea — a tax return is like a report card, providing a snapshot of how a business is doing, he said.

“You should go through that report card and see where you can improve,” Escandon said. ■ Employees and freelancers: Small businesses that hire freelancers need to be sure these workers are truly independent and shouldn’t be classified as employees. Many companies use freelancers because they don’t want obligations like Social Security and Medicare taxes or providing health insurance. But under the law, freelancers can’t be treated like employees in terms of what they do and how much control a boss has over them. The IRS and state tax officials are paying closer attention to how workers are classified, looking to catch businesses violating the law, said Michael Greenwald, an accountant with Friedman

LLP in New York. Companies must give W-2 forms to employees and 1099s to freelancers detailing their 2015 compensation by Feb. 1. ■ Your home office and car: The deduction for using part of your home as an office has long been a point of contention between owners and the IRS. If an owner uses half the family room to run the business, the government won’t allow a home office deduction. A home office must be a separate space used solely for business purposes. On the other hand, the government recognizes that owners use cars for personal and business use. But owners must keep a diary of how many miles they drive for business each day, and calculate their deduction based on that amount.

All-Peninsula Boys Cross Country MVP

PT dock should be ready for derby

No time for excuses

THERE’S GOOD NEWS on two fronts for blackmouth anglers participating in the upcoming Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby on Friday, Feb. 19, through Sunday, Feb. 21. Boat ramp construction at Michael the Port of Port Townsend’s Boat Carman Haven launch is on schedule and should be finished in advance of the derby, Deputy Port Director Jim Pivarnik said Wednesday. “Due to salmon recovery schedules, Feb. 15 is the last day we can work in the water, but the project is expected to wrap before that date,” Pivarnik said. “The ramp should be wide open for the derby.” The ramp’s width is to expand by 18 feet, adding a second lane. A 6-foot-wide float is also to be added between the two lanes. The project will double the boat ramp’s current capacity, allowing a boater to launch while another is retrieving their boat. Pivarnik also said that during Wednesday’s Port Commission meeting, Port commissioners approved eliminating launch costs for derby participants. “We did. We joined the Port of Port Angeles in waiving boat fees for the derby,” Pivarnik said. A full blackmouth season in Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet) is the other piece of good news. Angling opportunities will receive a boost Saturday when Area 9 opens for hatchery chinook retention. The daily limit in Area 9 is two salmon. Hatchery chinook must be a minimum of 22 inches in length. Finding legal-sized fish should be much less of an issue than just a few months ago. A blackmouth season was scheduled for November until massive numbers of sublegal-sized chinook turned up in state Department of Fish and Wildlife test fisheries throughout Puget Sound. Thankfully, the prevalence of these puny fish has fallen in the last few months, according to Puget Sound Recreational Salmon Fishery Manager Ryan Lothrop. “Things are looking much better,” Lothrop said. “We’ve gone out test fishing in November, continued to test fish in December, and they have been out the last couple days, and things are progressively getting better. “Some sublegals may have left to migrate out to the ocean, and others are likely to have increased in size. “Typically, you do see juvenile fish leaving during the winter.” Anglers are still likely to encounter undersized fish, however. “There are more normal legalsized fish than sublegal, but there is still a higher sublegal ratio than during normal years,” Lothrop said. “Delaying the season until this scheduled winter opener will likely prove to be very beneficial in terms of having a longer season and fishing all the way until the scheduled close on April 15.” Lothrop said a total of 4,729 legal and sublegal encounters will be allowed during Area 9’s blackmouth season.

Area 6 update Blackmouth fishing has been open in Marine Area 6 (East Strait of Juan de Fuca) since Dec. 1 and is scheduled to run through April 10. Lothrop said that based on data collected through Dec. 31, Area 6 anglers are just about halfway to the fishery’s chinook guideline. “I don’t see any major worries at this time,” Lothrop said. “We are maybe a little ahead of schedule on catch numbers, but there’s no real danger of having this fishery cut off early.

Sequim’s Despain is area MVP BY LEE HORTON PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

SEQUIM — Neither rain nor slips nor mud, nor slips from the mud to the gravel was going to stop Brendon Despain his senior season. “This year, I didn’t make any excuses,” Despain said. “I didn’t want anything to get in the way.” And not much did. Despain placed ninth at state, won the Olympic League title and helped Sequim win its third consecutive district cross country championship and finish third at the Class 2A state meet.

Sub-16 He also was the only area runner to finish a 5-kilometer race in less than 16 minutes, and he has been chosen as the All-Peninsula Boys Cross Country MVP by area coaches and the Peninsula Daily News sports staff. Even when something got in Despain’s way, he was not stopped. The Westside Classic district meet at American Lake Veterans Golf Course in Tacoma was a muddy mess.

Lynch practicing, but will he play? BY NICK PATTERSON THE [EVERETT] DAILY HERALD

RENTON — Marshawn Lynch is back to being day-today. The Seattle Seahawks running back, who has missed the past eight games because of an abdominal injury, fully participated in practice Wednesday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. H o w ever, it’s still not k n o w n whether Lynch will Playoffs play in this S u n d a y ’ s Sunday divisional vs. Panthers playoff at Charlotte g a m e against the Time: 10 a.m. C a r o l i n a On TV: Ch. 13 Panthers. “ We ’ r e going to go day-to-day, day-today is how we’ll do this,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said before practice. “We’ll evaluate the next day and see how it goes. I can feel he’s encouraged to go forward again, and we’ll see if we can get it done.” Lynch seemed set to return to the field for last Sunday’s wild-card game against the

THE [EVERETT] DAILY HERALD

Marshawn Lynch’s status for Sunday’s game against Carolina is still unknown. Minnesota Vikings after practicing in full throughout the week. But following practicing Friday afternoon Lynch did not board the team flight to Minneapolis that evening, missing out on Seattle’s 10-9 victory in historically cold conditions.

‘Looks good’ Carroll said Monday that Lynch did not suffer a setback during practice last week, and Lynch was back taking a regular workload at practice Wednesday. “He looks good,” Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell

Bevell said following Wednesday’s practice, adding that Lynch looked a little better than he did in practice last week. “I can’t judge each and every day, but probably one of the best days he’s had out here today. He’s in there, he’s moving around, he’s making more cuts, probably a little more tempo to it as well. “We’ll just continue to go dayto-day with it.” Was Bevell surprised Lynch didn’t make the trip to Minnesota after practicing in full last week?

“Surprised? Probably,” Bevell said. “He practiced the whole week. But only Marshawn knows how he’s feeling. It’s something we can’t determine. “I can’t determine it by even watching him. It’s a feel a thing. He had surgery, they cut on him, so he has to have a feel and he has to feel very confident that he’s going to be able to go out and do it. “We don’t just want him to go in and have a couple plays and be done. We want him to be able to finish the game and continue to play, and I think that’s what he’s trying to get a feel for.”

Ryan reflects Seahawks punter Jon Ryan was sporting the scars from Sunday’s game against the Vikings. A cut across the bridge of his nose and a pair of bruises under his eyes were evidence of the broken nose he suffered in the first quarter, after a botched snap had him trying to hurdle a defender, only to fall flat on his face. But Ryan finished out the game, and Wednesday he looked back with good nature upon the incident. TURN

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera said running back Jonathan Stewart, wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. and safety Kurt Coleman will play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC divisional playoffs. All three starters participated fully in practice Wednesday. “Those guys got a lot of good work in and [the bye week] served its purpose,” Rivera said. Getting Stewart back will be a huge plus for the Panthers against the league’s No. 1 ranked run defense. Stewart, a Washington native and product of Lacey’s Timberline High School, ran for 78 yards and

two touchdowns in Carolina’s 27-23 win over Seattle on Oct. 18. The Pro Bowl running back ran for 989 yards and six touchdowns before injuring his foot in Week 14 and missing the final three weeks of the regular season. Still, Carolina stretched its string of consecutive 100-yard rushing games to 27 without him. The Panthers have the league’s No. 2-ranked running game. “We feel good about him,” Rivera said of Stewart. “No limitations.” Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. (leg) and safety Kurt Coleman (foot) also returned to work after sitting out Week 17, a game in which the Panthers beat Tampa Bay to clinch home-field advantage throughout the

NFC playoffs. Ginn caught 44 passes this season for the Panthers — including a team-high 10 touchdown receptions — and averaged 16.6 yards per catch. He gives the Panthers a deep threat that can help stretch the defense and open things up for tight end Greg Olsen to operate underneath the coverage. Coleman tied for second in the league in interceptions with seven. “That’s good — it felt right out there” at practice, quarterback Cam Newton said of having Stewart and Ginn back in the huddle. “Ted is looking fast and Jonathan is looking strong. That’s what you want to see.” The only player who did not

Rams face huge tasks before reaping LA rewards BY GREG BEACHAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — When the Rams take the field for their regular season opener in September, they will end the NFL’s 21-year journey back to a sprawling, vibrant city that loves both a spectacle and a winner. September is a long way away, though. The Rams have an incredible amount of work to do before they can truly call Los Angeles home again. They must decide where to play on Sundays until their palatial, billion-dollar new home in Inglewood is completed in 2019.

They must find or build a training complex to be their home for the other six days of the week, and their players, coaches and key employees must find homes close to it. They’ve got to move untold tons of equipment from the franchise’s current base in Earth City, Missouri, to their new home 1,800 miles west. They’ve also got to decide what to wear: The current uniforms or their classic LA blue and gold? After that, all they’ve got to do is hire hundreds of new employees, sell tens of thousands of tickets and corporate sponsorships, establish charity connections to

restore community ties and promote their product to 18½ million people who have been getting along just fine without pro football. And if the Rams truly hope to succeed, it would really help for local boy Jeff Fisher to put a winning team on the field in September. The franchise hasn’t publicly announced how it will do any of that. Rams employees spent Wednesday learning about the months of hard work ahead, and Rams spokesman Artis Twyman said the team hasn’t made any logistical decisions yet about the move.

Ran a personalbest 16:50 at 2A state meet, at which he placed 45th.Also was top-15 at league and districts.

Harold Huff, Sequim—Coach of the Year: Wolves won third consecutive Olympic League championship, third straight district title and placed third at state, their third top-five state finish in a row.

Runners were selected by area cross country coaches and the sports staff of the Peninsula Daily News.

MVP: Got up and helped Wolves win district CONTINUED FROM B1 Coming off a league championship and a personal record time of 15:52.97 the week before, Despain was running with a tight pack when, about a mile into the race, he slipped on the mud and slid onto a patch of gravel. “I just biffed it way hard,” Despain said. He received a big scrape that started on his lower led and went up. More than two months laster, he still has a scar, on, well, “my butt.” That’s not all. One of the runners near him stepped on his fingers, and another tried to jump over him but ended up kicking him in the head. “I don’t blame them,” Despain said. “It all happened so fast.” Near the end of his junior season, just when he was hitting his stride, Despain got sick. He went on to finish 34th at state. It was 19 places higher than his sophomore year, but not quite what he was hoping for.

“He didn’t have a particularly strong race at state [in 2014],” Sequim coach Harold Huff said. “He was coming off a respiratory infection, and I felt sorry because he had been running really well. “He was disappointed with state, but it wasn’t his fault.” This slip wasn’t really his fault, either. He just took a corner too quick, and if not for all that mud . . . No excuses. Despain’s chances for an individual district championship were all but gone, but, and this was much more important, the Wolves needed him to win the team title. Running alongside of and being encouraged by freshman teammate Ash Francis for much of the remainder of the race, Despain finished eighth. Jackson Oliver was the top Sequim placer at sixth, Francis took ninth, Wendall Lorenzen was 14th and Chris Jeffko came in 17th. Had Despain or any of those

other four finished a spot or two lower, the Wolves would have been denied their third straight district crown. Instead, they edged Liberty of Issaquah 54 to 55. “That’s probably one of my favorite moments,” he said. “Even though I didn’t do my best, Jackson and Ash pulled through and we won districts. “It was fun. That was a good day, despite everything that went wrong.” When Despain moved to the North Olympic Peninsula from the Tri-Cities area before his sophomore year, he was leaving 3A cross country powerhouse Kamiakin and would be joining a young but talented Sequim team. Perfect fit. “I was tickled pink,” Huff said. “He was good from the get-go. And we were already going to be good, he just made us that much better.” Despain, Oliver, Jeffko, Lorenzen, C.J. Daniels and Christian Ash were all sophomores, and Mikey Cobb and Peter Ohnstad

The Olympic Peninsula Salmon Derby will be held Feb. 19-21, the weekend following President’s Day weekend, for the second straight year. The derby, which features 500 square miles of fishing territory, five weigh stations and a $10,000 first prize, is part of the Northwest Marine Trade Association’s Northwest Salmon Derby Series. Tickets are $40 for one day or all three days when purchased at various North Olympic Peninsula outdoors stores, including Swain’s General Store in Port Angeles, Brian’s Sporting Goods in Sequim and Four Corners Store and the Fishin’ Hole in Port Townsend See the complete list of locations selling tickets at www.gardinersalmonderby. org. Tickets also can be purchased online for $42.50 through that same website. All ticket sales end Wednesday, Feb. 17. No tickets will be sold at weigh stations during the derby. Thanks to donations, there also are tickets available at no cost for Wounded Warriors. See the website for more information. The event spans much of the north Olympic Peninsula, with weigh stations at Freshwater Bay, Ediz Hook in Port Angeles, John Wayne Marina in Sequim,

In rod we trust A fishing rod, reel and net is the potential prize for taking a short survey on a state Department of Fish and Wildlife program designed to enhance recreational fisheries in Puget Sound The survey is designed to gauge public understanding of the Puget Sound Recreational Salmon and Marine Fish Enhancement Program. The survey is available through March 31 on the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s website at tinyurl.com/ PDN-FishSurvey16. The program was created by the state Legislature in 1993 to improve and promote recreational fishing in Puget Sound and support sustainable populations of salmon and marine bottomfish. The sale of certain fishing licenses fund the program. Participants in the survey will be entered into a random drawing for a fishing net, rod and reel set valued at $500. The winner of the drawing will be selected in late April.

were juniors that first year at Sequim. “We kind of had a really young group, so we were able to mature as runners together,” Despain said. “We all grew as a team.” And the team’s accomplishments became more important than individual success. With those eight runners, the Wolves claimed their first district championship and took fifth at state in 2013. They won districts again and placed second at state in 2014. Then, without Ohnstad and Cobb but with Francis, came this season’s third district title and a third-place finish at state. The team’s success was so important that Despain forgot about writing down before the season that he wanted to finish in the top 10 at state. “I didn’t really look at it until December,” he said. “I said, ‘Oh, wait, I got ninth. I did it.’” Despain hasn’t decided whether he will keep running at

SEATTLE — Lorenzo Romar is the last person who’s going to get overly excited about Washington sitting on top of the Pac-12 Conference standings after two weeks of league play. Pleased? Absolutely. But forget about Romar declaring his team of young pups ready to be the elite of the Pac-12 this early. “We’ve played three games and have 15 to go,” Romar said this week. “We wouldn’t trade it to be 0-3, but there is just so much time. Two weeks have gone by and there are nine weeks.” While Romar is correct that it’s still very early, Washington’s 3-0 start in conference play is a surprise for a team made up mostly of freshmen and that was picked to finish 11th in the Pac-12. That may still very well

happen. But the Huskies have so far displayed a resilience that is giving Washington optimism that this season may turn out better than first expected and may just see the end a four-year NCAA Tournament drought. “There’s no question this team has a lot of character,” Romar said. The Huskies certainly didn’t take the easy way to the 3-0 start. They went to double overtime before beating UCLA on New Year’s Day. They rallied from 22 points down to beat USC less than 48 hours after knocking off the Bruins. And last weekend, the Huskies needed overtime to get past rival Washington State. It’s been an exhausting stretch for the Huskies, but

hugely beneficial for a young team that stumbled early and is still gaining experience every time it steps on the floor. That stumble came at the conclusion of the nonconference season when Washington lost two of its final three games, both at home. Their 97-83 loss to Oakland on Dec. 19 could be explained away by the scintillating performance of guard Kay Felder, who had 38 points, nine assists and couldn’t be stopped no matter who was guarding him. But it was the 83-78 loss to UC Santa Barbara on Dec. 28 that jolted the Huskies. “That loss made us refocus and we came into that next game against UCLA to open the Pac-12 ready to go and realizing that we can’t just come into our gym feeling like we can beat any team because we show up,” freshman guard Dejounte

Murray said. Romar certainly wasn’t pleased with the loss to UCSB but wondered if the conference wins would have happened if not for that unexpected defeat. “The Santa Barbara game, I think our guys realized that ... teams are really good at this level even if they’re not in the Top 25,” Romar said. It’s helped that senior guard Andrew Andrews is playing the best of his career. Andrews is leading the Pac-12 in scoring at 21.6 points per game and had games of 35 points versus UCLA, 24 against USC and 29 last week against Washington State. And he’ll be looking for his first career win over Arizona tonight as the Huskies try to validate their early success with a pair of games in the desert. The Huskies have just one win in their last eight trips to the McKale Center.

Preps: Quilcene girls hold on CONTINUED FROM B1 Adams, who was bulldogged in the post throughout the game by the Bulldogs, finished with 11 points for Forks. Prose added seven and Baysinger scored six. Forks (3-5, 5-7) next plays at Rochester (1-6, 1-12) on Friday. The Spartans defeated the Warriors 58-49 in the teams’ early meeting last month. “That should be a tough test,” Gooding said. “Hopefully we can get a streak going. We had a sreak going the other way, so we want a winning streak to go here. “Hopefully the boys like

the taste of a ‘W’ and can Quilcene coach Briana keep it going.” Weller said of Tuesday night’s win. Forks 55, Montesano 41 “The girls played well for Forks 14 5 12 24— 55 3½ quarters.

DEAR ABBY: I moved overseas for work when I was 18. My father divorced my mom around the same time. I used to come back to the U.S. for two weeks every year to visit and stay with Mom. However, for the past eight years, she has sent me emails “suggesting” in a roundabout way that I was not totally welcome. Because of this, I haven’t been back in six years. For the last 20-plus years, I have given my mother about $7,000. Because I’m not welcome in her home, I told her I won’t give her any more. She is now showing regret for her previous emails, but for me, it’s too late. Since I’m no longer sending money, she will have to sell her condo. She’s getting old and doesn’t have much time left, and I can’t wait until she passes on. I despise her. For me, it is unacceptable for a mother to not welcome her son into her home for two weeks a year. Am I overreacting? Is my level of hate valid? Rejected Son in Thailand

Dear Abby: I’ve been married to my wife for nine years. She is addicted to Ambien and pain meds. I love her with all my heart, but the constant trips to the hospital and emergency rooms have left me feeling numb. The episodes are all pretty much the same “Groundhog Day” scenario. I’m in so much pain emotionally. They treat her because she claims to have lupus. The real story is her addiction. My question is, what do I do? She has been to the hospital at least 30 times in our nine years of marriage. Please help me help her. Thank you. Tired in Texas Dear Tired: You say the people at the hospital are unaware that your wife is a prescription drug addict. Why haven’t you told them the truth and revealed where your wife is getting all those pills? For too long, you have tolerated a situation that is destructive for both of you. You may love your wife and want to be supportive, but you can’t save her from her addiction. Only she can do that by admitting she’s out of control, seeking help and sticking to a program.

Dear Rejected Son: Not knowing your mother’s reason for implying you weren’t welcome to stay with her, your question is hard to answer. I understand why you would feel hurt, even angry. But looking forward to the day she’s no longer on this earth strikes me as an overreaction. From what I have read on the subject — as well as personal experience — I have concluded that hatred is like acid. It hurts the hater worse than the person at whom it is aimed. At this point, your mother has lost her son, and now she’s losing her home. I’d say that’s a large dose of punishment for her lack of hospitality.

How to clean car wiper blades Dear Doctor: What is the best way to care for the windshield wiper blades on my 2009 Honda Accord? I’ve cleaned them with water and occasionally glass cleaner to make sure there is no dirt on the wipers to scratch the windows; however, I’ve noticed the wipers leave lines on the windows in the exact same arch. The Honda service department told me the blades have graphite on them and they should not be cleaned other than by cleaning them with the fluid in the windshield wiper reservoir. Claire Dear Claire: This is a great question, and for those of us who drive in the Snow Belt, it’s even more important to have a clean windshield — especially at night. You need to start with a quality windshield wiper blade, not a cheap blade. Next, clean the windshield with a quality cleaner and fill the reservoir with a quality washer fluid. Use a quality washer fluid, not the cheap blue fluid; use a purple or orange fluid for the best

When I’m at a stop and step on the gas to accelerate, the engine bucks a bit before launching off like a rocket, especially in the beginning when it is cold. What else am I missing? James Dear James: The sudden acceleration can be caused by many issues, including but not limited to the throttle cable, throttle position sensor and dirty throttle body causing lower-than-normal idle speed. Anytime there is a driveability issue and the “check engine” light is not indicated, it will take the work and knowledge of a technician to find the problem. The technician should look at the live data and compare it to factory specs.
