Human rights groups working to free Renton woman Nestora Salgado has been held in a Mexican prison since August By Alejandro Dominguez adominguez@larazanw.com

Two or three times a year, Nestora Salgado visited her home state of Guerrero, Mexico, to visit relatives still living there and bring clothes to poor children. The Renton resident and naturalized American citizen was still attached to her small, indigenous town of Olinala. The region has been a victim of a big wave of homicides, kidnappings and people being tortured. Last year, when she was at the state, her neighbor was found
dead after suffering torture. That was when she and the rest of the town had enough, said her youngest daughter, Grisel Rodriguez, 23. Since then, Salgado joined the community police and became a leader of that organization. Rodriguez said the police was made of town people and was created under state law. Still, Salgado made enemies, which is why she has been arrested under charges of kidnapping six people, according to Rodriguez. “The crime file is completely fabricated. There’s no proof. This is all political,” Rodriguez said. Salgado was arrested Aug. 21 alongside
13 more people, one week before she was scheduled to return to Washington state. Rodriguez said her mother is being jailed because she wanted a town official to be put on trial. The official was arrested by robbing possessions of homicide victims and the government wanted to release him, but Salgado was adamant for him to be put on trial. “My mother is a brave person and she speaks what she has in her mind when something is wrong,” Rodriguez said. “And that’s the problem, because the government did not like she brought light to the political corruption.” To pressure the Mexican government, [ more Nestora page 12 ]

As occupancy at The Landing is ready to pass the 90 percent mark, developers Pearlmark Harvest Lakeshore, formerly Transwestern Harvest Lakeshore, is preparing to sell the 21-acre shopping center. Though the buyer has not been announced, Senior Property Manager Rod Swift said this week the goal is to complete the sale by the end of the year. “This always has been the plan,” Swift said, adding that the recession slowed the sale plans some. Swift said the buyer is a “large institutional investor” with national experience managing shopping centers, including another property in the area. Swift this week told the City Council not to worry about the future of the property as the buyer plans to make the center part of its “core fund,” or longterm investment asset. “It’s a serious buyer who’s going to take serious care of this property,” he said. Opened in 2007, occupancy at The Landing has been steadily increasing, even through the reces[ more landing page 7 ]

Martin-Dent. He is the outreach coordinator for the program. The program’s numbers actually drop slightly in December then pick back up after the holidays. Why numbers drop off and return isn’t known for certain. Martin-Dent speculates that the increased number of food drives might have a temporary impact on hunger in communities, decreasing the need for an emergency food bag. Another possibility, he said, is a drop because of the number of schools they distribute through are closed during the holiday season. Program staff echoes sentiments that the need for emergency food bags is growing. “The expiration of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits that went into effect last month has already led to an increase in the number of clients we serve,” MartinDent said. “We have been actively encouraging our supporters and the communities we serve to contact their members of Congress to prevent additional cuts to SNAP.” Miracles Food Bank and Outreach Skyway’s Miracles Food Bank and Outreach center has plenty of food, but needs workers.

Renton Salvation Army Like Miracles, the Renton Salvation Army typically has a “very strong” food supply too this time of year, according to Capt. Chris Aird. It isn’t until after the first of the year that donations go way down, he said via
email. This Thanksgiving their food bank helped 546 families. “The numbers show that we have helped more families this year than last year,” Aird said. “From this, I would say that the need is growing. The answer to why is a little harder to explain because there is no one real reason. Our economy, lowwage jobs, medical needs, grocery prices increasing and food stamps being cut, would be a few of the reasons.” Next year he has plans to do some remodeling in the lobby of the food bank to accommodate those waiting to get assistance.

‘Tis the season to support local businesses During the holiday season, Americans across the country have a unique opportunity to strengthen their local economies, support their communities, and get great services and products by shopping small — shopping at small businesses, that is. The holidays give us all the chance to reconnect with our neighbors and, whether you’re grabbing a cup of coffee from the shop around the corner or patronizing a local book store, every purchase at a small business makes a difference in your community. America’s 28 million small businesses are the backbone of our economy, creating two out of every three net new private sector jobs, and we all have a role in helping small businesses succeed. At the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), we are committed to ensuring small businesses have access to the capital, counseling, and contracting opportunities they need to start and grow a business. Since 2009, SBA has supported more than $126 billion in lending to more than 260,000 small businesses and entrepreneurs across the country. In fiscal year 2013 alone, SBA supported more than $29 billion in loans to America’s small businesses and entrepreneurs. Since 2009 in the Seattle District, SBA guaranteed $2.9 billion in supported loans. SBA also has an extensive counseling and training network of Small Business Development Centers, Women’s Business Centers and SCORE volunteers which cumulatively reach more than one million people each year. In the Seattle District Office, our partners have provided counseling and training to more than 7,500 small businesses. In addition to helping small businesses access the tools and resources that can help them take their business to the next level, SBA also encourages the federal government to shop small by overseeing its supply chain for small businesses. Federal contracting is a winwin. The federal government gets to work with innovative small businesses—often with direct access to the CEO—and small businesses get an important source of revenue. In fiscal year 2012, 22.25 percent of federal contracting dollars went to small businesses, up from to 21.65 percent in fiscal year 2011. And for the first time, more agencies than ever before reached or surpassed their prime contracting goals. In Washington state, nearly $2 billion of federal contract dollars awarded went to small businesses in fiscal year 2013. On Nov. 30, millions of Americans shopped small in celebration of Small Business Saturday. By shopping small and supporting local business during the rest of this holiday season, we can all help give millions of families the opportunity to achieve the American dream. When small businesses succeed, we all win.

Ethanol Shuffle: There are limits Have you heard of the Ethanol Shuffle? One step forward, two steps back. Actually, it’s not a dance; it’s part of California’s clean energy policy — a program our governor wants to emulate. Gov. Inslee recently signed a pact with California, Oregon and British Columbia pledging to support cap-and-trade, carbon taxes and low-carbon fuel standards as part of his climate change agenda. Why should you care? Because you will be paying the bill. The governor’s own consultants estimate that his low-carbon fuel regulations will increase gasoline and diesel prices $.98 to $1.18 per gallon. Not surprisingly, that is complicating legislative efforts to increase our state’s 37 cent/gallon fuel tax by 11.5 cents to fund transportation improvements. If both measures pass, Washington drivers could be paying $4.50 to $5 a gallon. California appears to be the model for Gov. Inslee’s climate change legislation. As it happens, that state has much to teach us — namely, that low-carbon fuel standards are costly and unworkable. California is the only state in the nation with a low-carbon fuel standard. Enacted in 2007, the program seeks to reduce the amount of carbon emitted by gasoline and diesel by 10 percent by 2020. The technology to achieve that goal didn’t exist in 2007, but because the limits took effect gradually, bureaucrats presumed the technology would be available by the time it was needed. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and now California’s refinery system is in turmoil — and consumers are on tap to pay the price. This is what happened. For a couple of years, California refiners were able to comply with the regulations, either by blending Midwest ethanol in their fuel or by purchasing “credits” that benefit electric or hydrogen-powered vehicles. But, as California’s carbon limit became more severe, refiners could no longer comply using corn-based ethanol. That’s where the Ethanol Shuffle comes in. Don Brunell

COMMENTARY
RENTON
OPINION
[6] December 13, 2013
California’s rules give preference to Brazilian ethanol made from sugarcane, saying it’s better than corn-based ethanol at reducing the carboncontent of gasoline. The Renewable Fuels Association finds that ruling puzzling considering that sugarcane farmers in Brazil burn their fields each year, releasing tons of greenhouse gas emissions, they ship most of their product to market in trucks, and Brazilian ethanol must be shipped almost 8,500 miles to the U.S. Still, to get maximum compliance credits, California refiners import Brazilian ethanol rather than use American ethanol. But there’s a problem. Brazil needs ethanol for its own use, so the U.S. sends American ethanol to Brazil, while Brazil sends it sugarcane ethanol to us. The Ethanol Shuffle. Leaving aside the additional transportation costs, the Renewable Fuels Association estimates that the transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions of the Ethanol Shuffle are more than double the level they would be if each country used its own ethanol. But it gets worse. A study by the international Boston Consulting Group estimates that, by 2015, there won’t be enough sugarcane ethanol or electric car credits available to allow refiners to meet California’s ever-lower carbon fuel standard. At that point, California refineries can either go out of business or sell their fuel outside the state, creating a fuel shortage in California that will drive up gas prices and reduce gas tax revenues to the state. As we consider our own environmental policies, we should remember two things. First, Washington is not California. Our problems are not as severe, so any benefits that result won’t be worth the cost. We don’t need to import California’s draconian regulations or repeat their mistakes. And second, while ideals are good, policies must be tempered by common sense and an understanding of their true cost. Is that too much to ask?

Council approves new fireplace, sculpture for The Landing By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
A new fireplace and sculpture is coming to The Landing instead of a large sign tower that was originally planned. According to the agreement between the city and the shopping center, when the occupancy rate at shopping center passes 90 percent, the developer was required to install the tower, valued at about $400,000. But this week, with occupancy at 89.47 percent and more on the way, the developers came to the council and asked to change their plans as they felt a sign tower was not necessary at the center.
Instead of the sign tower, the developers proposed a new fireplace to replace the existing structure in front of the movie theater and a large, artist-commissioned sculpture for the traffic roundabout at North 10th Place and North 10th Street. “Hopefully these amenities we’re proposing will be a good alternative to a tower,” Senior Property Manager Rod Swift told the council. The change request is predicated by a pending sale of the shopping center and an attempt to bind the next owner to whatever decisions were made regarding the current contracts, which will transfer. According to Swift, the
idea for a new fireplace is to create “another gathering place” at The Landing with a low-slung hearth that will allow people to sit around it and feel the warmth, similar to the fireplace at Kent Station. The current fireplace is enclosed in glass and does not provide any warmth for the area. “It’s not the most exciting design,” Swift said of the current piece. New benches, furniture and other seating areas will also be added to the area. “We’re really excited about this design, especially compared to the first one,” Swift told the council. In addition to the new fireplace, the developers are proposing a $225,000 sculp-
ture, referred to as “the sundial” in a description provided with the council resolution. The metal sculpture will be metal and surrounded by lighted stone. Swift said though it was called “the sundial,” the renderings of the sculpture, which would be artist commissioned, show a design reminiscent of an airplane wing, which would honor
ing
t Star
Renton’s “heritage and future” as an Aerospace leader, as well as harken back to land’s previous owner, Boeing. “It’s a much more impactful and iconic design than any tower will be,” Swift told the council. Though the measure was approved unanimously, council members did express some concern that
the fireplace and sculpture were not necessarily what was needed. Councilman Rich Zwicker, who predicated his remarks by saying he was not on the council when the original agreements were approved and that it was his final meeting as a council member, said he was “leery” of using [ more fireplace page 8 ]

The city will continue to own the parking garage located at the Landing, but council members this week said they would be willing to sell that property as well, should the buyer be
interested. All contracts currently in place between The Landing

something they thought would make their business more inviting. He also questioned the timing of the proposal. Swift told the council the timing was because the original agreements set a 90 percent occupancy as the trigger for the sign, which Councilman Don Persson said was the idea of former councilman King Parker as a way to draw shoppers to the facility. But Persson also said he did not think a sign was necessary anymore and that the new designs are “more in tune” with what

Students counted nearly 1,500 food items that will be distributed to Maplewood Heights families.

Mayor Denis Law also said he did not think it was necessary to promote the Landing with a big sign and would prefer the changes. “I’m much more interested in the developers making an investment for the experience of the citizens using it,” he said. Councilwoman Marcie Palmer also said that the Landing still needs a place for children and she sees no enhancements for kids in the new designs. Swift said there was not room at the Landing to
provide a space for children except in front of the theater and the developer thought the fireplace was a better use of the space. The changes were unanimously approved. In addition to the new amenities, the council also approved a change to the parking garage agreement that would reserve 18 spaces on the top level for Providence Medical Center. It also passed unanimously. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050

Safety: A crate should be used for your dog’s safety when traveling. Crates are available from most pet supply stores. Be sure to provide plenty of water and a favorite toy to make your dog as comfortable as possible. Also be sure the crate…. • is large enough to allow the dog to stand, turn and lie down • is strong, with handles or grips, and free of interior protrusions • has a leak-proof bottom covered with plenty of absorbent material • has ventilation on opposing sides, with exterior rims or knobs to prevent blocked airflow • has a “Live Animal” label, arrows upright, with owners name, address, and phone number. Helpful Tips: • Make sure your dog has a sturdy leash and collar. The collar should have identification tags, a license and proof of rabies vaccinations. Your home phone number should be on the tags as well. • You may want to consider a permanent form of ID (such as a microchip or tattoo) that can increase the likelihood of reuniting you with your dog if it gets lost far from home. • Carry recent pictures of your dog with you. If you are accidentally separated, these pictures will help local authorities find your dog. • Take the phone number of your veterinarian and any special medication your dog needs. Some dogs can’t adjust to abrupt changes in diet, so pack your dog’s regular food, bowls and a cooler of water. • If you think you might need to board your dog at some point during your travels, be sure to bring your dog’s complete vaccination records.

Renton police officers once again responded to a complaint of a loud party on Monroe Avenue Northeast, this time on Nov. 30 involving between 100 and 150 people. Halloween night, officers responded multiple times to the house in the 770 block of Monroe Avenue Northeast because of loud noise from a crowd that spilled into the street; five people were cited with breach of peace. Three weeks later, officers returned and residents were given a verbal warning. On Nov. 30 at about 11:30 p.m., about 100 people were at the house, including minors, for a party themed “jocks and geeks.” Officers determined the

Graham said he was proud that his team only turned the ball over nine times, compared to 21 on the other side, but said his team’s poor shooting led to the loss, as Lindbergh made 20 of 73 field goals during the game. Graham also said the Seahawks front court, featuring three players taller than 6-foot-5-inches, made it difficult for his team. Anthony Hill led the way for the Eagles with 18 points and 10 rebounds while Michael Smith added 14 points and 9 rebounds in the loss.

Lindbergh boys basketball ‘deepest’ team in years
December 13, 2013 [11]
www.rentonreporter.com By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Lindbergh boys basketball coach Robert Graham says this year’s team might be the deepest he’s coached in three years and the Eagles have their sights set on a Seamount League championship.
Three of last year’s starters, Tyrell Shavers, Anthony Hill and Nate Cunningham, are all back for the Eagles as they try to improve on last season’s 12-9 record, 9-5 in the Seamount League. Along with the returners, Graham said a pair of transfers could make a difference this year. At 6-foot-3-inches,
Graham called Isaiah Ellis “the strongest kid I ever coached” who can play inside or outside and Jalen Thomas from Odea adds to a strong backcourt for the Eagles. “The future is very bright at Lindbergh this year,” Graham said in an email.

several organizations protested Tuesday in favor of Human Rights and for Salgado’s release at different Mexican consulates in the United States including Seattle, New York and San Francisco. The protests are part of a strategy to bring pressure to the Mexican government to release her, said Thomas Antkowiak, law professor and director of International Human Rights Clinic at the Seattle University School of Law. The clinic has worked pro bono in helping people who have been unlawfully imprisoned in countries such as Nicaragua, Mexico and more. Antkowiak has been helping with Salgado’s lawyer in Mexico. Salgado is currently jailed in a prison the state of Nayarit where conditions are bad and she has had obstructed access to her lawyer, he said. He said her best hope is to bring political pressure with international advocacy and bringing political leaders for her case. She also has an advantage in that she has American citizenship. “If we generate enough pressure, we hope that she can be released,” Antkowiak said.
In response, Washington U.S. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell have made inquiries about Salgado’s health and situation, which prompted U.S. Embassy officials to make a special visit to Salgado in El Rincon, the Mexican federal prison. The visit, in addition to increased public outcry and media attention, has resulted in prison authorities giving Salgado back the bottled water her family had bought, so she now has safe water to drink. Salgado was also paid a visit by the prison warden and has been told that she will be seen by a doctor next week, according to a press release from the campaign to free her. However, her family says Salgado is still being held under inhumane conditions, and they believe that sexist hostility to her as a woman leader is why she is being singled out for some of the harshest treatment among the 14 indigenous leaders that have been arrested by the Mexican government. Antkowiak has also filed a petition with UN asking for Mexican government to bring more information about Salgado’s arrest. The petition was filed on Nov. 25 and it is still pending. “I think we can get her out of jail and back home to her family where she belongs,” he said.
