t’s not often you play a video game in front of an audience, but as Mason Beckler defeated the final boss in the new game “Lord of the Bats,” created by the folks at DigiPen in Redmond, the room erupted into applause. “Well, that was an experience and a half,” Beckler said with a laugh, causing the room to erupt again. It was the first time Beckler of Renton had played the game he helped design and both he and the game drew rave reviews from those watching. Beckler, 16, has cystic fibrosis and the Make-A-Wish Foundation and DigiPen teamed up to grant him his wish of designing a game, which is now available to play for free online. “It is exactly everything I hoped,” Beckler said after playing through the game’s levels. “It’s harder than I thought it was. And I thought it was hard to begin with!” “Lord of the Bats,” a side-scrolling, cartoonish game about Private Battede, a bat in a necktie tasked with finding a magic
The 2014 Washington Healthy Youth Survey found Renton students using drugs, alcohol and tobacco at a lower percentage than their peers across the state, with the exception of a handful of behaviors for 10th-grade students. The report is a statewide survey of some 223,000 students from grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 that was conducted by the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) last year. More than 3,200 students in the Renton School District volunteered to participate in the survey. For the most part, Renton teens are smoking, using e-cigarettes and vaping, using prescription drugs and alcohol at a lower percentage than the state reports. Marijuana use and bullying were also lower in the district, except for reports by sophomores. More than 800 of the district’s 10th-grad[ more SURVEY page 5 ]

McTeacher Night a success for Dimmitt BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Community members and Dimmitt Middle School teachers and students helped raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Pennies for Patients,” May 7 during their annual “McTeacher Night” fundraiser. For the event, teachers from the school help serve patrons at the McDonald’s at 73 Rainier Ave. S. About 20 percent of the total earnings collected from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. went to the charity. This year the event raised $500, but students are still collecting money in their classrooms for the month of May to send to the Leu-
kemia and Lymphoma Society. Twenty-five teachers volunteered their time to participate in “McTeacher Night.” It also brought out Battalion Chief John Lecoq and crew from the Renton Fire and Emergency Response Operations. A department truck was on hand for tours and demonstrations. There were also “McMusic Performances” by Dimmitt orchestra and choir students. “It’s always crowded and everyone’s happy to donate,” said Claudia Paul-Hergert, Dimmitt Middle School counselor and event organizer. Reporter Tracey Compton can be reached at 425-255-3484, x5052.

Get ready for cap-and-trade CPR in Olympia Cap-and-trade seemed dead and buried among the year’s fallen legislative ideas — until it wasn’t this week. Its adherents in the Democratic Party unearthed a retooled version of a bill that lapsed in regular session and are trying to revive it. There was to be a public hearing Thursday in the state House Appropriations Committee. They hope to pass it during this special session or the one likely to follow. That’s going to require a lot of cardio-political resuscitation. Gov. Jay Inslee proposed the concept that 37 Democrats introduced as House Bill 1314. But there were never enough votes in the 51-member Democratic caucus to pass it, so it quietly went away. It doesn’t appear the situation is any different with the new revisions, but House Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, is going to let his members try again. The goal of the bill is unchanged. It would set a maximum limit on carbon emissions for the state and over time would reduce that cap in pursuit of eliminating the heat-trapping gases associated with climate change. It still would make the biggest producers of emissions pay for every ton of carbon they release. And it is still predicted to generate $1.2 billion a year, of which $500 million would go to elementary and secondary schools and colleges. But in one of the striking new features, the amended bill would reimburse those big polluters for much of their expenses. One-fourth of the revenue, $333 million, is earmarked for rebates to oil refineries and fuel suppliers that top the list of polluters. As drafted, companies like Tesoro, Royal Dutch Shell and British Petroleum stand to receive rebates of 75 cents for every $1 they pay per ton of pollutants. That means for every $1 that would be spent on education, 66 cents would be paid back to polluters. That’s hardly the two-fer Inslee originally envisioned for a cap-and-trade program. In another change, the revised bill earmarks $193 million a year in payments to forest landowners who sell timber to Washington mills. In exchange, those landowners must agree to open up part of their property for public access. There’s also money set aside to help “tradeexposed” and “energy-intense” industries that might be affected by the program, plus tax credits for truckers of agricultural and lumber products. Supporters made these changes in hopes of securing votes from Democrats wary of capand-trade, especially those from rural areas where the timber industry is a major employer. While these funding moves are one prong of their strategy, another is fear that a 2016 voter initiative by environmentalists could pack a greater economic wallop to companies large

Lighthouse machinists have been making aircraft parts for The Boeing Company since 1951. Each month, they produce more than 5,000 unique parts and 45,000 individual part pieces (540,000 per year) for Boeing, with an acceptance rate of more than 99.9 percent. As a Boeing contractor, the fortunes of The Lighthouse for the Blind are directly connected to the fortunes of Boeing’s commercial aircraft sales. And those sales are directly connected to the ability of Boeing’s customers to purchase its planes. That’s where the Export-Import Bank comes in. [ more BRUNELL page 5]

[ BRUNELL from page 4] The bank’s mission is to support U.S. jobs by making it easier for American companies to sell their products abroad. Since 1935, the Export-Import Bank has provided financing and loan guarantees to foreign companies seeking to buy American goods. A federal agency, the bank borrows money from the Treasury and pays interest on the funds. It then lends that money to foreign companies at higher interest rates. The Ex-Im Bank supports itself through interest payments and fees; no tax money is used. Each year, Congress must vote to reauthorize the bank, but this year, with the June 30 deadline looming, some politicians are balking. They question whether the federal government should be providing loans to foreign customers of U.S. companies. Because of its role in financing airplane sales, some opponents call the Export-Import Bank “Boeing’s bank� and characterize the program as corporate welfare. That’s not the case. The Wall Street Journal reports that last year, nearly 90 percent of the bank’s deals, worth more than $5 billion in financing and insurance, directly served small businesses. In Washington, more than 150 small businesses have used the bank. While critics say the Ex-Im Bank gives U.S. companies an unfair advantage, it’s just the opposite. It levels the play-
ers were surveyed and of those 19 percent used marijuana in the 30 days prior to the survey, compared to 18 percent of 10th graders surveyed statewide. Also, on bullying, 24 percent of Renton 10thgraders reported to have been bullied in the 30 days prior to the survey, compared to 23 percent of their peers statewide. “The results of this survey fluctuate as the percentage of students in each grade level who choose to take it differs each time,� wrote Randy Matheson, district spokesperson in an email. “This is a voluntary, self-reporting survey; so, some students take it serious while others do not. Because of the erratic data, the best method that health professionals and other school staff can use when addressing youth health issues is creating relationships and working directly with all students.� Statewide DSHS reports
improvement, particularly at the 10th-grade level, with prevention education. With an increase of 46 percent since 2010, 56 percent of 10th-graders reported that they received information about alcohol and other drugs at least once from their schools. The survey also found that the percentage of 10th-grade students who said their parents talked with them more than once in the past year about not using alcohol increased to 38 percent from 35 percent in 2012. “There are still too many students using alcohol (one-in-five 10thgraders) and marijuana (nearly one-in-five 10thgraders), risking their health, safety and futures,� wrote Deb Schnellman in an email. Schnellman is the communications and health promotions manager for the state DSHS. “Only a third of 10thgraders think regular marijuana use is risky, a drop from 46 percent in
ing field. Gov. Jay Inslee says the Export-Import Bank is a vital tool for hundreds of Washington companies, from aerospace to agriculture. “The bank allows these companies to export their products, grow their businesses and supports tens of thousands of jobs.� While politicians argue the philosophical merits of the Export-Import Bank, Lighthouse president and CEO Kirk Adams, who is himself blind, sees the issue in simpler terms: if customers can’t buy airplanes, his machinists will be out of work. “Those folks are not getting other jobs,� notes Adams. “Those people are going home and collecting a very small Social Security disability insurance check, and sitting on the couch waiting for us to give them a call letting them know they can come back to work.� Don C.

As part of its efforts to build trust between law enforcement and the diverse communities in Renton, the Renton Police Department is partnering with different faith organizations. Recent protests in Ferguson, Mo., followed by other events in different parts of the country have brought national attention to the importance of strong police-community relationships, which has been a priority for the City of Renton and the Renton Police Department. “We from the AfricanAmerican clergy of Renton are very pleased to join forces with the City of Renton and its law enforcement department to be the change we want to see in our community,� Reverend Dr. Linda Smith, Pastor SKY Urban Empowerment Center, said in a press release. “As we move forward our goal is to engage our com-
munity, educate our youth, strengthen relationships with law enforcement, and review and revise policies and practices to promote equity. � “As law enforcement leaders, each of us has an essential obligation and a unique opportunity to ensure fairness, eliminate bias, and build community engagement,� said Police Chief Milosevich. As part of this effort, the African-American Pastors group and the City of Renton in partnership with the Renton School District will host “Teen Summit: Improving Positive Relationships with Law Enforcement & Our Youth and Community,� first of a series of community forums from 10 a.m. to noon, June 20 at Renton High School. The forum will include various staff from the Renton Police Department, leaders from the African-American faith communities, students, parents and the general public. It is an opportunity for youth and community members to interact with local law enforcement and for authorities to hear the community’s views on policing.

G.G., Buckley Welcome to incredible edibles and my first suggestion is to plant what you both like to eat. Radishes are quick to sprout and a harvest can be had in as little as 30 days, but most kids don’t appreciate the sharp bite of a fresh radish. You may want to grow with bush beans
A.
Q.
I am tired of green tomatoes at the end of the summer. What varieties that tastes better than “Early Girl” will ripen up and turn red before the end of September? I already grow my tomato plants in the sunniest spot of the garden. S.M., Renton Look for orange or yellow tomatoes with small fruit if you want to have plenty of flavors from ripe tomatoes. Yellow pear tomatoes, Husky Gold, Gold Nugget and any of the small fruited cherry tomatoes such as Sweet 100 or Sweet One Million will have a sweeter flavor than the early ripening Early Girl or Early Cascade varieties. You may also want to make this the summer you use a hoop house of clear plastic or spun polyester over your tomato plants to capture the heat and protect them from cool nights. If you only want a few plants, grow your tomatoes in heat-absorbing black plastic pots that sit against a West or South facing wall. Growing them near a mass of concrete from a driveway or patio will also help to raise the night temperature and encourage early ripening of the fruit.

I want to start growing my own vegetables but deer are a problem in our neighborhood. What do you recommend to keep deer away from my vegetable garden? K. Email A fence is the best defense for deer. They are browsers and will taste anything but using deer repellent sprays on your food crops is not recommended. You do not need to spend a lot of money fencing off a deer free zone. Farm and home center stores now sells black plastic webbing on a roll made to create an almost invisible deer fence. You just supply the sturdy fencing posts using metal rebar or stakes that will rise seven feet from the ground and attach the flexible fencing material with plastic ties or stables. You will need to construct a gate or leave a flap that can be opened up and closed in the fence line. As an added bonus the webbed plastic disappears from a distant view and if secured to the ground with pegs will keep out raccoons, cats and dogs.

and cherry tomatoes instead. Don’t forget you can plant nasturtium seeds now for summer long color and the leaves, blossoms and seed pods are all edible and fun to add to summer salads or as a pickle substitute inside a hamburger. Some young gardeners prefer fruit to vegetables and strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are all crops that do especially well in the cool summer climate of Western Washington.

In addition, two candidates filed to run for Council Position 4, currently held by Greg Taylor. Taylor’s plans are as of yet unknown. Running for his seat, however, are Monique Taylor-Swan and Charles D, Seil, both of whom filed on Monday. Seil has a website touting his work as a volunteer around the city, including work in graffiti abatement, the 2015-2016 citizens budget advisory committee and as president of his neighborhood association. According to the site, he is a 24-year resident of the city and is married with four adult children. The Renton Reporter contacted Seil, but was unable to schedule an interview prior to the deadline of this issue. Taylor-Swan is more of an unknown at this point. She does not seem have an active campaign website yet and the number listed on her campaign profile returns as inactive. She did not return an email request for an interview before press time of this issue. Also filing early this week were Mayor Denis Law and councilmembers Don Persson, Ed Prince and Ruth Perez. Challenger Carol Ann Witschi, who is running against Palmer, also filed early in the week. Three members of the Renton School Board have filed for re-election,
he third week of May is when you may be tempted to plant everything into your vegetable garden, and it is true that tomatoes, squash, beans and basil will survive if planted into the ground in mid May. But hold on; in past years in Western Washington we still can be hit with cool night temperatures that dip below 50 degrees and these chilly nights will not mean death to the warmth loving veggies but it could stunt their growth. Experienced gardeners wait until the first or even the second week of June before leaving basil outdoors overnight and unless you have a raised bed or a hot spot against a West or South facing wall your tomatoes will do better if you delay planting until June. Planting the seeds of corn, beans and squash this week is also a gamble. The seeds may sprout but a cool night could send the new seedlings into a dreary funk with little growth. If you wait until the second week of June the seeds will sprout sooner in the warm soil and without the worry of cool nights the new sprouts will quickly catch up with any seeds that were planted in May. This means you have extra time to prepare the soil by removing the weeds, adding compost or other organic matter and working fertilizer into the soil where you will be planting vegetables. Coleus is another plant that hates cool nights. If you plant coleus out-

Renton man hit with pool ball inside sock The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
A transient wielding a sock with a Lucky 13 pool ball inside struck a 65-year-old Renton man in the calf April 20 while he was sitting on a bench next to the Cedar River. The victim told officers the 42-year-old suspect, who is known to officers, called him an offensive name. The suspect told the victim and two others with him to leave because they were disturbing him with their loud talk. The suspect then hit the victim with the pool ball, leaving a painful mark. Witnesses knows the suspect as “Matt with no dog.” He was found at the Salvation Army eating dinner. He was taken outside
after the crowd inside started to confront officers. He resisted, hitting his head on an officer’s patrol vehicle, causing a bloody nose. He eventually was controlled on the ground and searched for weapons. He continued to resist. When a crowd started to intervene, officers moved him down the block, where he refused medical attention. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree assault. BOY PEPPER SPRAYED: A 2-yearold boy was hit by pepper spray during a domestic argument early on April 21 on Northeast 18th Street. The ex-boyfriend of the child’s mother wanted to talk to her, then he discharged the pepper spray at a man who was standing inside the house by an open window. The man ducked but the spray hit the 2-year-old, whose face barely cleared the
window sill. The mother declined treatment for the boy. The ex-boyfriend was found nearby; he told an officer the man inside the house had sprayed him while he stood outside. The officer reasoned it was unlikely the man inside reached outside and sprayed the pepper spray toward himself and the child. Renton prosecutors were considering whether to cite the 32-year-old Tacoma man with breach of peace. FOUR TIRES SLASHED: The four tires on a 1997 four-door Lexus sedan were slashed and white paint poured on the hood and windshield the evening of April 23. The vandalism occurred in the 800 block of Rainier Avenue North. The car had been parked in its carport. Damage was estimated at $2,800. METH FOUND ON SHOPLIFTER: A 27-year-old Auburn man who concealed electronics under his coat April 21 was arrested after walking out of the Target at The Landing without paying for them.
A man who was handing him some of the items but didn’t conceal any was trespassed from the store. Multiple items were recovered from underneath the suspect’s coat, valued at about $430. During the search, officers found a small plastic bag of a cloudy crystal-like substance. The .15 grams field tested as methamphetamine. The Auburn man was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of drug possession and third-degree theft. CATALYTIC CONVERTER STOLEN: A catalytic converter was stolen April 20 from a 2004 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck at a park and ride lot on Hardie Avenue Southwest. The owner had left the truck full of gas but the tank was empty when she returned. The exhaust pipes were also damaged. The loss was estimated at $600. Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5150.

Cascade Water Alliance provides safe, clean and reliable water to its members through partnerships ensuring water for today. But it is also creating a lasting legacy by continuing a lean, nimble governance model of regional collaboration, leadership and effective, efficient public resource management. And we are enhancing our future regional water source Lake Tapps in east Pierce County for eventual water use. This year Cascade repaired the 100 plus year old system so it will be ready for future use. We’ve fixed the barrier dam and replaced the headgates and 2,300 feet of timber flume with a new concrete flume. We’ve repaired the conveyance system that runs from the White River to the reservoir and back to the river and we are now refilling the reservoir. Why? Because although we don’t need that water now planning for future infrastructure takes years to design and build. The result of these projects will be a more reliable and predictable system for decades into the future. When you turn on the tap, you will have water today… and tomorrow.
Cascade replaced a crumbling flume with a new cement one to get water to Lake Tapps.

Using Water Wisely
Rainwater catchment takes advantage of our plentiful rainfall and can be used for watering plants or for flushing toilets, saving thousands of gallons of valuable drinking water per year for better uses.
Wise water use today means we can delay future infrastructure development by using every drop of water available in the region before developing new sources. Cascade and its members in 2014 did just that—they saved approximately 65 million gallons of water, 1.8 million kilowatt hours of energy and avoided one million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions.
Front loading clothes washers with the Energy Star label not only save huge amounts of water and energy, but they clean your clothes better with much less wear and tear on the fabrics. It’s still important to run only full loads.
A WaterSense certified toilet uses a little more than one gallon per flush, but gets the job done.
Cascade’s program strives to lower regional water demand, particularly in summer, or peak season, so that Cascade can delay or defer development of the White River / Lake Tapps Project or other sources of new water supply. Cascade offered 30 Cascade Gardener classes that drew more than 725 attendees, provided 423 water education programs to 10,509 students at local schools, trained local schools, parks district staffs, builders, retailers and even horticulture students about wise water use. We educated our residents at local fairs and events, and provided free water saving items.
The flapper valve inside the toilet tank eventually wears out and will allow leakage. It’s important to check for leaks at least once each year. You can drop a leak detection tablet (available free from Cascade) into the toilet tank or use a few drops of food coloring. Wait ten minutes without flushing and if you see color in the bowl, the flapper is leaking and should be replaced.
Cascade and its members’ goal is a cumulative savings of 0.6 million gallons per day on an annual basis and 1.0 mg per day on a peak season basis by 2020. We’re well on our way to exceeding that goal. Working together to fix toilet leaks, use water efficient appliances in kitchens and bathrooms and improving your irrigation systems really does make a difference. Here’s how...
An Energy Star certified dishwasher may only use a few gallons per cycle. It’s still important to run only full loads.
May 15, 2015 [11]
WaterSense certified faucets provide plenty of flow for washing hands or brushing your teeth, but save thousands of gallons per year compared to older faucets.
A WaterSense showerhead has been tested and certified for performance as well as efficiency. WaterSense showerheads provide plenty of flow, but still keep your water use low.
Landscapes designed with deep, healthy soil and hardy plants are beautiful and will need little to no water beyond rainfall and far less chemical inputs.
A WaterSense certified home may save a million gallons of water and thousands of dollars in reduced utility bills over the lifetime of the home.

Cascade is also part of the Central Puget Sound Water Supply Forum that is currently undertaking a regional resiliency project envisioned to help the water utilities of King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties take proactive steps in evaluating and enhancing this region’s water supply system resiliency. The work will help determine how the region’s utilities can be better prepared for the impacts of significant system stresses and how utilities can continue to provide services to our region’s homes and businesses during and after such events.

For only the fifth time since 1976 and the first time since 1995, the All-City Track championship trophy belongs to the Hazen Highlanders. Though the May 8 event at Renton Memorial Stadium is officially a Seamount League meet in which all three schools play against each other in “dual meet” format, many of the competitors give a bit extra as they play for school pride and intra-district bragging rights. In the combined format, Hazen raked in 144 points, while Lindbergh took second with 132 and Renton earned 101. However, things were a little different in dual meet match-ups. On the boys side, Lindbergh topped Renton 78-67 and beat Hazen 83-62 while Renton bested Hazen 81-63. On the girls side, Lindbergh beat Renton 84-62, but the Highlander girls brought it home with a 108-42 victory over the Indians and a 94-55 win over the Eagles. According to Michael Maloney, one of Hazen’s coaches, one of the team’s goals this year was to beat Renton and Lindbergh, which he called “great programs that are well coached and never easy to beat.” “Friday night was the culmination of all the hard work and dedication these guys put in to getting that trophy back to Hazen,” Maloney said in an email. “We had a great team full of special people this year and I couldn’t be more proud that they were the group to bring the trophy back to Hazen.” According to Maloney, Hazen athletes set 72 personal records at the meet. With the win over Renton, however, Lindbergh’s boys team secured a 7-0 finish and first place in the Seamount League standings. Renton’s boys fell to 6-1. Hazen’s boys finish the year 5-2. On the girls side, Hazen’s victory helped push them to a second-place finish in the Seamount with a record of 6-1, with Lindbergh following at 5-2 and Renton in fourth with a 4-3 record. Kennedy Catholic’s girls won the Seamount this season.

knowledge they’d gained during their time at DigiPen, a Redmond-based school aimed at video game design. “It was a great coincidence to find a kid with a wish like this,” said Devin Jensen, team co-leader. Beckler first brought his idea and notebooks to the Asclepius team in Novemeber and the group talked about what he wanted for the game, both in style and substance. According to Art Producer Joe Erskine, Mason brought “pages upon pages” of art, narrative and concept ideas to the first meeting in October 2014. “The guy came prepared,” said Erskine. Even Beckler admits to “overscoping” the game, which had to be “massively toned down.” “It got sort of pretentious at one point,” he said, adding that at some point it all clicked for him: “He’s a bat.” Together, Beckler and team whittled down the original idea to three playable levels through a handful of other meetings and the programmers and designers, all of whom were students at DigiPen and worked on “Lord of the Bats” as part of a senior project or on their own time. All of the artists, for example, who transformed Beckler’s original designs into the characters on the screen, worked for free, for example. Jensen said Beckler had final approval, but “very rarely” gave a thumbs down. And the team itself loved the idea and the game. “It’s awesome,” Jensen said. “You’ve got bats and robots… I was ecstatic about this project.” As he played through the game, Beckler ran a running commentary of what he was seeing and doing, and was thrilled to see his characters come to life in ways he hadn’t envisioned.
Barbecue causes fire at apartment complex
Mason Beckler, center, poses for a photo with DigiPen’s Project Asclepius team that built “Lord of the Bats” based on his designs. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter “I don’t think you could have made that any more terrifying,” he said at one point. “Perfect.” On one level, Beckler even gave the audience a glimpse at the creative process, noting “At one point, he had a buzzsaw instead of a laser.” According to mom Angie Beckler, Mason is a “video game fanatic” who loves Super Mario Brothers from the first time he played it. Angie said while Mason never really used coloring books, he always drew his own pictures and Real Estate for SaleReal Estate Real Estate for Rent for Sale Other Areas San Juan County Manufactured Homes

used his imagination so she was really excited to see him through this process. “He lit up,” she said, adding that Mason had further come out of his shell playing the game in front of the audience. “He’s not like that,” she said with a bright smile. “He just blossomed.” “Lord of the Bats” is available for free play at games.digipen.edu.

A Wednesday fire at an apartment unit in Skyway was apparently caused by a barbecue left to cool overnight on a deck. King County Fire District 20, along with units from Tukwila, Renton and Kent, responded to a reported multi-family structure fire at the Aspen Ridge Apartments in the 12600 block of 68th Avenue South just after 6:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. The first arriving engine found fire from the balcony of an upstairs unit. Minor fire extension was found in the floor between units. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire was ruled as accidental by the King County Sheriff ’s Office Fire Investigation Unit. A disposable barbecue had been place on the deck floor to cool overnight. Damage is estimated at $3,000. When done using disposable barbecue kits, put water in the pan to cool before throwing it away as instructed by the manufacturer. This was the second large fire response in the area Wednesday morning. King County Fire District 20 units responded to a house fire in Renton prior to this incident. The Aspen Ridge call came in just as units were clearing the fire in Renton. Employment General

County Council joins call to release Renton held in Mexican prison Five members of the Metropolitan King County Council added their voices to citizens throughout the region calling for the release of Renton resident Nestora Salgado, a U.S. citizen who has been imprisoned in Mexico for close to two years without due process of law. Since August 2013, Salgado has been detained in a Mexican prison without trial. She was arrested on charges related to her leadership position in an indigenous community police force in her hometown of
Olinala, Guerrero. “Health, safety, and recognition before the law are all values we hold in the highest regard,” said Council Chair Larry Phillips said in a press release. “It is my hope that the U.S. Department of State will take immediate action on behalf of Ms. Salgado to ensure she receives them not only as a matter of human dignity, but also as a matter of right.” “It is my sincere wish that Ms. Salgado receive necessary medical care immediately, and that she is quickly reunited with her family in Washington state,” said Council Vice Chair Joe McDermott. “I am troubled to know that she is being held without trial, and I urge Secretary Kerry to do everything
possible to ensure a speedy resolution to this matter. Members of Salgado’s family and other advocates for Salgado’s release addressed the Council at the April 27 Council meeting. They stressed that Salgado has been denied access to attorneys and adequate medical care to address the neuropathy in her hands and feet. “Nestora Salgado must be released immediately. As her daughter testified, Ms. Salgado needs immediate medical attention and is in danger of death if she does not receive it,” said Councilmember Larry Gossett. “Ms. Salgado’s false imprisonment is one of the numerous human rights violations occurring in Mexico as a result
of both the US and Mexican government turning a blind eye to what is occurring in the country. We must do everything to change this policy—beginning with the return of Nestora Salgado to her family in the US.” “This matter is urgent. I hope the United States State Department will increase its efforts and take affirmative action to free Nestora Salgado from imprisonment in Mexico,” said Councilmember Dave Upthegrove. “Ms. Salgado needs to be back home with her family in Renton.” The Councilmembers have signed a letter to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry asking for the U.S. State Department to continue its efforts to have Salgado released.

Ask Your Lawyer by Dan Kellogg
Where Should I Store My Documents? Estate planning documents should be stored where it is least likely that they will be inadvertently destroyed, or otherwise damaged or misplaced. The most obvious location to protect against these factors is a safety deposit box at a bank. Some thought should be given to those who will have access to open the safety deposit box after death. If no one has been authorized, it will be necessary to petition the Court for an order to open the box for inspection. Then the original Will must be delivered to the Superior Court. If no one has a key for the box, then the bank will charge to drill open the lock. I have more than 40 years of experience in estate planning and will handle your case personally. Please call 425-227-8700 to schedule an initial appointment. Committed to you and the community.
