Prosecutor investigating claims that molestation of daughter led to incident BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
A Renton woman pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a charge she lit her husband on fire in bed after dousing him with gasoline July 16 at their Renton apartment. Tatanysha Marie Hedman, 40, is being held in the King County Jail in downtown Seattle on $500,000 bail on a charge of first-degree assault, domestic violence. Her next appearance in King County Superior Court is Aug. 14. Her husband, Vincent E. Phillips, was able to drive to a nearby 7-11 store on Southwest Sunset Boulevard, where he asked the clerk to call medical aid. He suffered burns to his head and upper body and was treated at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. In an interview, Hedman told Renton detectives she intended to [ more BURNING page 6 ]

From the front of their home on North Riverside Drive, Diane Dobson and Kevin Hays have a great view. Directly across the street from the house is the Cedar River in all its glory, with parks and housing on the other side. But lately, the river has not been all they have seen. There are drug deals, prostitution, sex in public and other obvious violations of the law. There are groups of people partying under the bridges and running drugs up and down from the Lower Cedar River Trail to customers on the roadways, they say. There are pimps and prostitutes operating on the trail and in the parks around,

Nestora Salgado of Renton is being illegally held in a Mexican prison, despite a ruling from the Mexican government that she be released. SUBMITTED
It’s been nearly a year since Grisel Rodriguez’s mother, Nestora Salgado, was illegally imprisoned in Mexico and though the tears flow easily when she talks of her, Rodriguez tries to keep a clear head. “We’ve got the easy part,” she said, wiping away tears. “She’s in prison.” Salgado, a Renton resident and naturalized U.S. citizen, was elected to lead a community police force in her hometown of Olinala, Mexico, when local
authorities in the poor, violent region known for crime and corruption charged her with kidnapping and sent her to a federal prison. Salgado was elected leader of a legally sanctioned civilian police force that defended the community from drug cartels and corrupt public officials. In performing her duties, Salgado angered local officials who seized her on trumped-up charges. A Mexican federal judge struck down the charges against her and called for her release last March, but the state

convert the floor of the Pennsylvania Convention Center into a giant maze populated by outrageous and colorful fantasy characters who tasked players to solve puzzles to proceed. The maze became a popular recurring feature of Origins and, later, Gen Con. Believing in the appeal of the concept, Selinker drafted a book adaptation of the game — something he dubbed a “solve your own adventure” novel — and shopped it around to publishers to see who might bite. It did not go well. “Puzzlebook publishers were completely mystified,” he said. “I was honestly surprised at how condemning they were of the idea, but none of them thought a reader would sit down and solve puzzles to get to the next part of a story.” Without backing, the manuscript sat in a drawer for two decades.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“One day you are doing social work and the next day you are in a maximum security prison.“ Jose Avila, whose wife, Nestora Salgado, is imprisoned in Mexico
Every concert at Amphitheatre begins on a long and winding road With origins murkier than a malfunctioning stage fog machine at a progressive rock show, ConcertGuy is an enigma. Some claim he entered the world 45 years ago, having escaped his mother’s womb on a muddy field in Woodstock, N.Y., even as Jimi Hendrix was closing out that infamous rock festival with his blistering take on “The StarSpangled Banner.” No way, others argue, he is older, blinking into existence at a Mississippi Delta crossroads in the 1930s, spawned by the unholy joining of the blues, Appalachian country and jazz. And still others claim ConcertGuy is just some middle-aged dude from North Dakota. All we know is we call him (pause for dramatic effect here) ... ConcertGuy. And he knows his stuff. Whatever his origins, one thing is certain — ConcertGuy knows his stuff. His first concert outings were in the early 1980s, when his parents introduced him to live music at shows by Roy Orbison, The Mamas & the Papas and The Beach Boys. As soon as he was old enough, he began to hit shows, starting with Rush’s “Singles” tour in 1983 at the San Diego Sports Arena. Now with attendance at nearly 1,000 concerts of all genres under his belt, ConcertGuy knows the ins and outs of venues large and small, as well as a list of dosand-don’ts to keep you rocking and rolling without a hitch in your headbang. On July 19, Journey and The Steve Miller Band hit the White River Amphitheatre, selling out the 20,000-seat venue and clogging traffic in and out of the area. For some attendees, multi-hour waits in concert traffic on the two-lane State Route 164 resulted in late arrivals, with many missing the Steve Miller Band and some arriving just in time to listen as Journey finished its set. The situation repeated itself this past Sunday at the Mötley Crüe and Alice Cooper shows. Many blamed the Amphitheatre for poor management and wretched organization in the venue’s parking lot. Open spots were scarce by the time the doors opened, and several people claimed they had bought VIP parking only to find the lot full. They even blamed the City of Auburn and the Washington State Department of Transportation for allowing the Muckleshoot Tribe to open the Amphitheatre without upgrading SR 164. The reality is that proper planning before a show can negate a lot of disorganization. ConcertGuy recommends not being just another sheep in the herd but finding another way besides SR 164 to get to the venue. For instance, if you’re coming from the south, try SR 410 through Buckley and Enumclaw instead. The route to the Amphitheatre is clearly marked, with a left-handed run off the highway just after the White River Bridge putting you on track to catch SR 164 going west. ConcertGuy

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Shiers’ editorial cartoons not funny, informative
Regarding Frank Shiers Jr.’s editorial comics: These “cartoons” are not funny, they are not informative, that are poorly done in all respects and exude derision which is offensive to anyone civilized. The recent ‘toon heckling the police/fire department of Renton over laws dealing with
fireworks was dreadful; however, the most recent rant on the President’s sagacious comments about the fires is repugnant. Does this individual think that he/she is funny or that we share their opinions? Well, I certainly do not! What motivation is there for the Reporter to keep this chap in print?

A quick entrance via Gate 3, and in no time you’ll be watching your favorite band. If you’re coming from the north, try bypassing SR 164 by taking SR 169 through Renton, Maple Valley, Black Diamond and Enumclaw, where it meets SR 164. It’s a bit farther in miles but should save you time. And hey, it’s a pretty drive. But above all, leave early. Give yourself some time. If you’re like ConcertGuy, you rush around all week trying to finish work for the day job, then rush to get to a venue to relax and watch a show. You don’t need that stress. And when you get to the venue, just remember to be nice. Members of the parking staff aren’t professional car parkers. The bulk of them are young adults just earning a few extra bucks during the summer to help guide traffic. Don’t expect them to work miracles. A little empathy and understanding will make them more receptive to go out of the way to help you. Hopefully, when the show is over and it’s time to leave, you’ll be so relaxed by your musical experience that you have an extra reservoir of patience. You’ll need it. Getting in out of the parking lot is a chore, and there is simply no way to move 10,000 cars out of the lot through a mere three exits and down a two-lane highway efficiently. Should there be more exits and a wider highway? Yes. Are there? No, and there likely won’t be anytime soon, no matter how loud you squawk. ConcertGuy recommends doing what he does, and that’s packing a few goodies and getting your
tailgate done after the show. Sure, you could be there awhile, but hey, you’re still basking in the glow of seeing (insert your favorite band name here) live, right? That covers coming and going, the two most stressful phases of attending a show at the White River Amphitheatre. Among the other complaints most often heard are the high cost of food and beverages and the wait time for the aforementioned. ConcertGuy recommends eating before the show. It’s cheaper and less time consuming to grab a burger in Bonney Lake or Auburn and scarf it down before coming into the venue. If you’re the type who insists that quaffing a $9 beer is crucial to the concert experience, just remember to bring your ID and check if you need a wristband. Some shows require you to wait in line for a wristband then wait in a line for your drink. If you mix these up and waste precious time waiting for a drink before you’ve waited for the wrist band, you may be a little upset. Hopefully, these few tips will enhance your experience at the Amphitheatre. It’s not perfect, but hey, neither are you. And having a world-class music venue just miles away, rather than halfway across the state, like the Gorge Amphitheatre, is a good thing right?
ConcertGuy is actually Auburn Reporter photographer/journalist Shawn Skager, who is fortunate enough to get the opportunity to shoot rock stars for his paper ... when Mötley Crüe’s management says it’s OK.

Public meeting on Regency Woods fire aftermath scheduled for Saturday Fire started outside, but officials lack ‘definitive’ cause of blaze that displaced 39 BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The Renton fire department will host a community meeting Saturday, Aug. 9, to help ease residents’ concerns about the four-alarm fire July 19 at the Regency Woods apartment complex. The fire displaced 39 residents, most of whom found alternate housing quickly. The building where the fire started has been torn down, and two others were heavily damaged. What happened that windy afternoon, said assistant fire marshal Ted Hickey, was a “violent ugly thing” where some people had to jump to safety from windows. For some residents there was almost a level of PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, he said. City officials were discussing whether to show a video of the entire fire taken from a nearby construction site. Hickey said the city has to be sensitive about the trauma the fire caused to residents. In the aftermath of the fire, residents have expressed appreciation for the speed of the fire response but concern about coordination and execution of an evacuation plan for other buildings in the large complex and beyond, according to a top fire official. The meeting is 10 a.m.-noon at Carco Theater next to the Renton Community Center, 1715 S.E. Maple Valley Highway, Renton. Elected officials, along with fire department personnel, will attend. The invitations were going out to Regency Woods residents and to neighborhoods nearby that may have been affected by the fire. Wind-blown embers set brush and grass fires beyond the apartment complex. Such community meetings are not typical but the Regency Woods fire was “large in scale,” said Renton Deputy Fire Chief Erik Wallgren. The cause of the $3 million is undetermined, one of four classifications used by fire investigators. A fire’s cause is undetermined when investigators have suspicions about a fire’s origin but not enough evidence to prove the cause in a court. Because of high winds, estimated at 20 to 30 mph, there was a strong possibility the fire could have spread deeper into the complex, according to fire officials. Investigation of the fire was complex, because of the number of residents the lone fire investigator needed to interview and the fact the fire destroyed clues to its origin,
according to Hickey. Assisting the fire investigation was a security camera at a worksite several hundred feet away that was pointed at the Regency Woods building where the fire started. The security camera captured the moment the fire flared on the southwest corner of a three-story, 12-unit building and until it was extinguished. That information showed investigators where to excavate into the building’s rubble to search of evidence, according to Hickey. The excavation didn’t reveal any evidence that was a “definitive” link to the fire’s cause, Hickey said. And it’s possible that water used to fight the fire flushed away evidence, such as cigarettes. Possible causes were a beauty bark fire, a cigarette or briquets from a barbecue. Investigators didn’t find any evidence of briquets and that area outside the building is not where maintenance workers clean up cigarettes, according to Hickey. Another “likely cause” is a beauty-bark fire, said Hickey, who has investigated fires for more than 30 years. In that scenario it’s possible the fire could have started many feet away, smoldered underground and then popped up by the building, he said. The official report won’t be available for several weeks, but “unless some miracle pops up,” the cause will remain undetermined, Hickey said. “I know that frustrates people, but I don’t think it frustrates them as much as it frustrates us,” he said. Hickey said he’s heard the questions about the evacuations of other Regency Woods buildings and as far away as Renton Hill, mostly about when residents could return to their homes. Evacuations are coordinated by the Renton Police Department. “I thought our crews did an awesome job and the Police Department did an awesome job of getting people out of the way,” he said. our Call in Yo go! orders t

teacher. Richard Anthony Hicks, 46, a real-estate agent, entered the plea Monday morning in King County Superior Court in Seattle. He was released from the King County Jail in Seattle July 21 after posting $250,000 bail. The collision between a powerboat he was piloting and a disabled sailboat with seven passengers aboard occurred at about 10:30 p.m. off Seattle’s Leschi neighborhood.

Renton detectives investigated her claim, including interviewing the child, and forwarded their investigation to the King County Prosecutor’s Office, which is reTatanysha Hedman viewing the case. Hedman’s story has raised widespread interest, in part because of her motivation. There’s at least one effort on the website gofundme. com to raise money to pay for her bail and her legal expenses.

Two passengers were injured and 33-year-old Melissa Protz was killed. According to court documents, Seattle Police investigators determined that Hicks was driving at a reckless speed and under the influence of alcohol. He should have known not to operate a motorboat at a high rate of speed because of the likelihood of sailboats and other boats on the water, according to documents. A case setting is Aug. 18.
Three injured in crash on SR 900 Three Renton residents were injured in a car crash Sunday night on state Route 900, just west of Renton city limits, when a car driven by a 27-year-old Issaquah man crossed the center line and hit their vehicle head-on. Police believe alcohol was involved. All three passengers, a 27-year-old woman, a 43-year-old woman and a 2-year-old girl, were injured and transported to Harborview Medical Center for treatment. According to police, at about 7:30 p.m. Sunday evening, a white Lexus GS3 was traveling east on SR 900, juts west of 151st Avenue Southeast. The Lexus crossed the centerline and slammed head-on into the second vehicle, a 1995 Honda Accord. State police are pursuing driving under the influence - vehicular assault charges against the driver of the Lexus.

courts have ignored the federal mandate and she is still behind bars. So far, Salgado has been denied a lawyer and medical treatment, has not been allowed to make international phone calls and, according to family, has lost 30 pounds due to lack of proper food and water at the Mexican jail where she is being held. Rodriguez, who has not seen her mother since before the arrest, said her older sister is able to make a 1,000-mile trip from another part of Mexico to see Salgado every 12 days, though their visits are often ended around the two-hour mark, well before the fourhour visitation is supposed to be up. Because of the nature of her arrest, a large group supporting Salgado’s release has sprung up. This month, the ranks of those supporting her release grew to include Rep. Adam Smith and the Renton City Council, who on Monday conducted the first reading of a resolution supporting Salgado’s release. The resolution is expected to pass on Monday. “The more people we get behind it, the more pressure can be put on the Mexican government to do the right thing,” said Councilman Greg Taylor, who took the lead
in drafting the ordinance after members of the Freedom for Nestora Committee spoke before the council in July. “Isn’t it obvious?” he said, when asked about how he got involved. “When I read the info about the reasons she was imprisoned, it certainly didn’t seem right.” Taylor also said it was “critical” for the council to be part of the effort to free the Renton resident. Mayor Denis Law also spoke with Smith about the issue last week. Earlier this year, Smith joined the growing ranks of those calling for Salgado’s release and is presently working to get the State Department to work on her behalf. This week, Smith, who has said he is “outraged” by Salgado’s imprisonment and the conditions in which she is being held, met with the Early Anthony Wayne, the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, regarding the case. “Nestora was unjustly arrested for exercising the rights guaranteed to her indigenous community by the Mexican constitution,” Smith said in a press release. “Not only have the federal courts acknowledged this, but a federal judge issued an order for her immediate release from the maximum security prison she is in since she is no longer being

Councilman Greg Taylor shakes hands with Grisel Rodriguez Monday as members of the Freedom for Nestora Committee look on. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter charged for federal crimes. Despite this ruling, she remains detained in unacceptable conditions and has not been granted due process. “The United States must do more to pressure the Guerrero state courts to schedule a trial immediately or release her per the federal courts’ decision,” he concluded. “As Renton residents, we would love to see that happen,” Law said of the federal government getting involved. For members of Salgado’s family, the most difficult part is knowing that Salgado did nothing wrong and was simply trying to make things better in her hometown. “One day you are doing social work and the next day you are in a maximum security prison,” husband Jose Avila said. But the entire family said Salgado knew the risks when she went to Mexico, but felt the issues were too important and she had to go, something she had done every year since 2004. “We knew she had a passion,” Avila said. “She really believed in what she was doing,” agreed Rodriguez. “She knew the dangers.” Now, the family is fighting to get Salgado’s

story out and to get their local representatives on board. Smith is in their camp and both U.S. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell have agreed to get involved. Along with the family, a large group of supporters, the Freedom for Nestora Committee, meets on the first and third Saturday of every month in Columbia City in Seattle. The group is hosting a rally on Aug. 21, the one-year anniversary of Salgado’s imprisonment, to demand Secretary of State John Kerry act to secure her release. The rally is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Federal Building Plaza at 915 Second Avenue in Seattle. Demonstrations and speak-outs are also scheduled in Los Angeles, New York City and worldwide, including Mexico, Australia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic and England. Closer to home, the committee thanked the Renton council for its efforts. “It means we’re a step closer to bringing my mom home,” said Rodriguez as she wiped away tears. “Thank you,” said Kenneth Randolf, a member of the Freedom for Nestora Committee after the reading. “Next time we see you here we hope it’s with Nestora with us.”

streets, instead staying in their cars. “We view the city’s response as a knee-jerk reaction to my address to the council,” Dobson said. Dobson and Hays also try to make a distinction between what they see as the chronically “homeless” and “vagrants” committing crimes. Though there is some overlap, both said they generally support the plight of the chronically homeless and want the city only to go after those breaking the laws, not just looking for a place to sleep for the night. Their home is near the Salvation Army, which hosts a dinner every night for the homeless and they said vagrants from around the area seem to be flocking to Renton to take advantage of the food and the city’s “hands-off approach” toward homelessness. Hays said he would like to see better communication between the city and the residents, who live there and see every day which of the people are troublemakers and which are not. The mayor took exception to Hays’ characterization and said several officers have been sent to speak directly with Dobson and Hays regarding their concerns. “There’s been a lot of individual and direct communication with the individuals that are down there,” Law said. “We’re closely listening.” To comment on this story view it online at www.rentonreporter.com.

they say. There is noise and litter – some of it drug paraphernalia – and public urination. It’s the same people year after year, they say, doing the same things, all in full view of the public. But what they don’t see, according to Dobson and Hays, is the city or police doing enough about their concerns. Recently, for example, Hays and Dobson saw three naked men under one of the bridges across from their house. They called the police, but when the officer arrived, Dobson said he parked on their side of the bridge and very slowly walked across, giving the men time to scramble into some bushes. The officer looked into the area where the men were reported and then walked back to his car and drove on. The men immediately returned, according to Hays. “As a citizen, I’d hope if I report something, officers would speak to any witnesses,” Hays said, adding that much of their dealings with police in the area have been similar. Earlier this summer, Dobson took her concerns to the City Council. She first appeared with a similar issue last summer but was compelled to return this year because she felt nothing was done about it, and it was getting worse. Other neighbors in the area reported similar sightings and issues but declined to go on record. For their part, Mayor Denis Law and police Chief Kevin Milosevich concede that there has been an increase in the homeless population this summer, as well as some of the crimes associated with it, but disagree with Dobson and Hays in their characterization that the city is not doing
anything to help the neighborhood. “There’s no question there’s been an increase,” Law said of the homeless population downtown, but added “We’re trying to find solutions.” The homeless, both Law and Milosevich said, have as much right to a park, which is what the Lower Cedar River Trail is, as everyone else and must be seen breaking the law for police to do anything. “The trail is a park. The same rights you and I have . . . a homeless person has,” Milosevich said, but said with the increase in homeless population this summer “we’ve got to keep an eye on it.” Milosevich reiterated that they have to follow the Constitution and that being homeless is in itself not a crime, the officers must witness something illegal. Law said there is a fine line between those who don’t look right and those who are breaking the law and until it is the latter, the city’s hands are effectively tied. However, Law said the city has taken several steps to address the concerns of downtown residents, such as Dobson and Hays, including increased police bike and foot patrols through the area. The mayor said park crews have also increased their presence in the area on weekdays. Law said the increased police patrols allows the city to write more citation or make arrests if needed. He also said repeat offenders are to be trespassed from the park for a year and the police have recently banned four or five individuals from using the parks. “If we catch them there again, they go to jail,” Law said, though he said putting homeless people in jail was not something the city wanted to do. After the parks close at dusk, however, Milosevich admitted the police could be more aggressive in trying to empty them out, specifically the trail. “We can do a better job at sweeping the parks,” he said. “We’re trying to do that right now.” The city also plans on investigating the use of barriers to prevent benches from being used as beds, as well as working with police to install cameras in the area. Additional signage instructing anyone seeing illegal activity to call 911 has also been installed. In addition, according to an email from Deputy Public Affairs Administrator Preeti Shridhar, Community Services will begin coordinating with local services on outreach efforts as well as researching “different types of irrigation systems that could be programmed to go on sporadically during the hours the trail is closed to deter unwanted activity.” Hays and Dobson said they have seen the increased presence and appreciate it, but still do not feel enough is being done and do not feel that all of the officers who patrol the area take seriously the directive to physically walk the

Awards honor emerging artists Renton Annual Art Show on July 24 presented the first-ever Norma Denzer Cugini Emerging Artists Awards for outstanding student artists to three local students. Funded through a grant from the Renton Community Foundation‚ Norma Denzer Cugini Arts Fund, $400 in cash prizes were presented to this year’s‚ winners. First prize of $300 went to Charlie Jones for her work, “The Joy of Sun.” Second prize of $50 went to Everett Russell for his work, “The Volcano.” And honorable mention and $50 went to Casey Repp for his work, “Botanical Feathers.” The fund was created in late 2013, as a surprise birthday gift for Cugini. Her three children, Robert Cugini, Crissa Cugini and Cathy Cugini O’Neill ‚ wanted to honor her work with the art show. They made the initial donation to begin the fund, which was then added to by friends and family. The Renton Annual Art Show was initially started by Helen Anderson in 1961. Anderson ran Renton Clothing at the Renton Shopping Center, now Fred Meyer. Back then, it was only supported by the merchants and was quite small. But the second year, Anderson went to Norma Cugini and asked her to become the first chairman. “I agreed,” Cugini said. “And we partnered with Allied Arts that second year.” From there, the art show took off. Today, Renton Annual Art Show is a non-profit, all volunteer organization that produces an exhibit of work by outstanding Northwest artists to the community during the IKEA Renton River Days festival. In those early days however, volunteers had to come out in front of the judging panel, holding up the artwork. Cugini brought her three little children to help. “They felt very put upon,” Cugini said, laughing. “But they loved every minute.” Cathy Cugini agrees. “She used to make us volunteer every year. But we all have very fond memories of it.” Norma Cugini has been honored as Renton Citizen of the Year (2009) and was

a founding member of the Renton Community Foundation board of directors, where she also has a fund. She has served on a number of other boards, including the Seattle Opera, and the Opera Guild. She was also a founding member of the Pacific Northwest Ballet board of directors. “She has been a tireless advocate of the arts,” said Lynn Bohart, executive director of the Renton Community Foundation. “Having the award in Norma’s name is very prestigious because of her relationship to the art show,” said Vicki Faull, Renton Annual Art Show board chair. “She was instrumental in keeping the show going. And now, the cash awards will attract more students.” And that’s the point, according to the Cugini siblings. In the past, student winners received only token awards. “The goal is to get more students to participate and to elevate the awards,” says Cathy Cugini.

Don’t worry about the lawn, think of the rhododendrons Q.
The second week of August is a time not to worry about the lawn but do think about your thirsty rhododendrons and azaleas. Late summer is when these spring blooming shrubs are deciding how many flowers they should produce next spring. If the soil is dry in August you’ll have fewer rhododendron blooms in May. It is easy to hand water the shallow roots of rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias this month and hand watering plants with a hose is a great excuse to wander outdoors and enjoy a summer evening. Provide your thirsty shrubs with at least one inch of water a week to keep them forming flower buds.
My front lawn is turning brown but my back lawn is still green in places where the shade keeps it cool on hot summer days. I want to save money on my water bill – how often must I water my lawn to keep it from dying? R.T., Tacoma Most lawns need one inch of water a week to stay green but during hot dry weather the grass in Western Washington will naturally turn brown and go dormant. No worries as your brown lawn will green up again in the fall when the rain returns. To keep your water bill low and your lawn green all summer, work on a grass-roots campaign. Aerate the soil in the fall, add topsoil and improve the soil below the roots by amending with organic based topsoil that will hold moisture. In Tacoma you can use a product called TAGRO made from municipal bio solids to improve the water holding capacity of your soil. For more information go online and check out Tagro/city of Tacoma.

Q. A.
I have a hanging basket of mixed flowers. The petunias and geraniums look fine but the blue lobelia is brown and looks almost dead. What could have killed the lobelia but not the other flowers? P.T., Maple Valley Lobelia is a lovely plant but also a lush with a drinking problem. This trailing annual loves cool, moist weather and throws a fit if the roots dry out even once. New growth can occur if you keep your lobelia roots moist so cut back up to half of the damaged lobelia plant and add some fertilizer when you water. If you don’t want to wait for new growth and an encore performance of your thirsty lobelia, you can get rid of the entire lobelia plant by cutting off the top of the plant at soil level. Then the more heat-tolerant petunias, zinnias and geraniums will take over your mixed basket. These colorful characters can control their drinking and still be the life of the summer patio parties.
My tomato plant has yellow leaves. I do see small green tomatoes. Why are the leaves yellow? P.P., Renton Foliage will turn yellow if a plant has too much water, too little water, lack of nitrogen, damage from pests like mites and various disease and weather conditions. If the plant looks wilted or limp you can suspect root damage from poor drainage, dry soil or even a mole or vole. If the yellow leaves have brown tips, then too much fertilizer or sun may be the cause. Webbing on the foliage is a sign of spider mites turning the leaves yellow and yellow leaves with green veins is often a sign that a plant is lacking in iron. Feel the soil for moisture, check for mites, fertilize and hope for the best.

Choosing poor-quality vinyl windows is a mistake.
Our Fibrex® material is
2X STRONGER THAN VINYL
Choosing the proper window material is everything. Even in moderate temperature swings, poor-quality vinyl windows can warp, lose whatever energy efficiency they once had, and invite drafts and leaks. Significant home improvements are supposed to last, but can you imagine the expense and frustration of replacing your windows a second time, after just a couple of years? We custom-build our windows from our own patented Fibrex® material. Fibrex® is a patented wood composite that has the rich, elegant look and feel of finely crafted wood windows without the maintenance. Why did we make our Fibrex® material twice as strong as vinyl? To serve homeowners who only want to replace their windows once.

No throttle, no mirrors, no windshield, no problem The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
This is how the conversation went with a 40-year-old Renton man who was just involved in a collision July 26 on the Maple Valley Highway, as told in the report: “I (the officer) told (the man) that he couldn’t operate his vehicle on the roadway with a throttle that didn’t work, no mirrors and no windshield. “I asked (the man) if he had glasses or goggles when he drove and he told me no. I told (the man) that if he drove, he would just cause another collision and he replied “yeah, probably.” And the officer would pull him over if he drove off, to which the man replied, (expletive deleted) “it’s on.” The officer interpreted that to mean he would fight or assault him. The man yelled at the officer and threw things around the truck and out of it. The officer had asked for backup, which arrived and he went to retrieve his own cruiser. In the meantime, the man’s behavior escalated and more backup was requested. He came out of the truck with what looked like a metal pipe; he refused to drop it. An officer knew he had at least one knife in the truck. An officer drew a handgun and another his Taser. One probe hit the man, with little effect. He still had the metal pipe. A second tasing brought him down. He indicated he would pick and choose which questions to answer. Besides the 1991 Ford pickup, two vehicles were damaged in the accident, including one that was parked. No one was hurt. The Renton man told officers his gas pedal stuck, so he did a U-turn on the highway to get back to the parking lot. That’s when the initial collision occurred. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree assault. GLOCK IN JACKET: The Renton Police officer decided to take precautions when he saw a big bulge inside the shoplifter’s jacket. The 23-year-old Auburn woman was inside a Rainier Avenue convenience store at about 6:30 a.m. July 23, eating snacks she had pulled from the shelves. She was barefoot and there was a white film around her

lips that might indicate illegal drug use. She was willing to give back everything because she didn’t want to go to jail. A records check later showed she was a convicted felon, once officers were able to get her real name from her. The officer decided to help her take off her jacket. It went “thunk” on the counter and an officer saw a Glock inside. She was placed in handcuffs. The Glock was loaded, but she maintained it wasn’t hers. She was arrested for investigation of second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, a felony. She was evaluated medically at the King County Jail but was taken to Harborview after admitting she took heroin earlier in the morning. At Harborview, she fell from a sitting position, cutting her lip and breaking a tooth. She again admitted to using heroin, methamphetamine and Xanax. Because of her medical condition, she was kept at Harborview and was no longer under arrest. She explained how she got the handgun. She’s been hanging out with a white supremacist group that was “ruining her life,” she told an officer. Before heading off to the convenience store, she grabbed the jacket. THANKS IS STOLEN SSI CARD: Two homeless men named Justin and James asked a man who stays in Seattle to carry a metal pole to their camp in the woods near Oakesdale Avenue Southwest and Southwest 16th Street. Once at the camp near the railroad tracks, they took his hat, threw it to the ground and urinated on it. He wouldn’t hand over his Supplemental Security Income (SSI) card, so they beat him about 30 times and took it. He then headed off toward Seattle. The incident happened on July 22 but not reported to police until he could get back to Renton on July 29. The card had no money because he was waiting for his next monthly benefit. BEATEN FOR DEFENDING GIRLFRIEND: A 58-year Renton man was beaten when he tried to defend his girlfriend against the verbal assaults of three men who pulled up next to them on Pelly Avenue North.
The victim was hit with a collapsible baton two or three times, possibly by the driver, at about 2 a.m. July 25. His girlfriend woke up her son 21-year-old son inside the home so he could help assist him. A woman who lives nearby was in the suspects’ car; she was given a ride home by the men who were also drinking at a local bar. She claims she tried to break up the fight, but the victim told officers she was holding him during the attack. The sedan drove off northbound on Pelly Avenue North. COWGIRLS ROBBED: About $150 in cash was stolen from a Cowgirls espresso on Lake Washington Boulevard at 1:50 a.m. July 27, which is when the security alarm went off. The door was kicked in; the door and door frame were damaged. Officers didn’t find anything in the two small rooms, other than an open cash register. A K9 track didn’t yield any suspects. The damage was estimated at $400. BULLET PIERCES HAND: A handgun fired July 26 while its owner, sitting in his vehicle, was trying to unload it. The bullet went through his hand. The 39-year-old Renton man was trying to stop the bleeding when officers arrived. He told officers he never carries his gun with a round in the chamber. In trying to unload it, he accidentally pulled the trigger. Officers removed the handgun from the vehicle, along with a Springfield XDS handgun. He was taken to Valley Medical Center for treatment. CLASSIC MUSTANG TARGETED: Someone tried to steal a classic 1965 two-door Ford Mustang that was parked on South Third Street during Renton River Days. A volunteer at the festival checked on her husband’s car throughout the day. When she was ready to leave for the day, the Mustang wouldn’t start. Her husband discovered the ignition box was damaged, apparently in an attempt to steal the car.

According to court documents, Tsegai moved out of the Renton apartment and in with relatives after his wife learned he was having an affair. His wife called 911 after Tsegai threatened to kill her in a phone call. The dispatcher heard screaming and then the phone disconnected. A Renton Police officer found the front door leaning against a wall; the door frame was splintered, and a box
of cereal spread across the floor, according to documents. The victim was crying hysterically and told the officer, “It’s too late. He’s gone now.” She told officers her husband pulled her into the bedroom and cut her several times on her left arm and throat, while holding her on the bed, according to court documents. He said repeatedly, “I am going to kill you,” according to documents. He punched her with one hand and attempted to strangle her with the other, she told officers.
He heard the sirens and left, yelling at his wife, “I’m going to kill you, if not today, then tomorrow or the next day,” according to documents. The assault was witnessed by their 18-month-old child. Tsegai was arrested later at his workplace in Seattle by Seattle Police officers who were investigating a phone-harassment complaint. The caller, apparently his wife, had called repeatedly and if a woman answered, she accused her of having an affair with her husband, according to court documents.

Q. Pet Internet Pharmacies… What you need to know Not all internet pharmacies are created equally. Illegal online pharmacies may sell medications that are counterfit, outdated, mislabeled, incorrectly formulated, or improperly made or stored potentially putting your pet in harms way. When prescribing medication, your veterinarian has an established relationship with you and your pet and has your pet’s best interest in mind. On the contrary, an internet pharmacy has no relationship with you or your pet and is strictly financially motivated to sell you medication and products. Unfortunately, without exhaustive research, there is no way of quickly telling a reputable from a non reputable online pharmacy. This is why your veterinary hospital and their website supported online pharmacy is the best choice for purchasing medication for your pet. Your veterinarian can provide the following advantages over internet pharmacies: faster service, manufacturer rebates, often cheaper pricing, instant insurance approval, pharmaceutical manufacturers guarantee, inspection and approval by the FDA, education on the medication being prescribed and can not only answer medical questions but also provide emergency care for your pet. Why put your pet’s life in jeopardy for a “blue light special” when you have a caring and highly trained veterinary professional that provides your pet with medications and products that are proven to be safe and effective? 1100598

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

ANSWER TO LAST WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PUZZLE
August 8, 2014 [19]
www.rentonreporter.com [ MAZE from page 3] Games, in which users investigated clues in the real world to uncover a fictional story. So-called ARGs have largely been used for viral marketing, such as the I Love Bees campaign for the video game “Halo 2” or the Year Zero campaign for Nine Inch Nails’ album of the same name. But they helped to mainstream the concept of interactive fiction. Second was the emergence of crowdfunding site Kickstarter, which made it possible for anyone with an Internet connection and a credit card to give money to creative projects. When Lone Shark began looking for a flagship project it could put on Kickstarter, “The Maze of Games” was a natural choice. As it quickly gained support, Selinker said he was often overwhelmed by how large the project was becoming. But “hundreds” of professional and personal friends have helped him through roadblocks. When he didn’t know how he would process a large number of
online orders, Penny Arcade placed the book into its inventory. When he didn’t know how to proceed with an audiobook, Wheaton connected him to studios, engineers and agreed to voice 29 characters himself. “What I really hope is that this is the kind of thing people are getting for their 8-year-old daughter,” Selinker said. “And she reads through and solves some puzzles to keep going, and if she reaches one she can’t solve, her parents tell her that’s OK, that she can put it down for a while and come back. “Eventually, she turns into a bright, inquisitive person because of this book that challenged her when she was younger. I hope, anyway.”
A look at two of the puzzles that need to be solved to further the plot inside the “Maze of Games” novel. SUBMITTED
