The city of Maple Valley is going forward with creating site plans for two underused pieces of city property that could become parks in the future. The two properties in question are Henry’s Switch and several parcels adjacent to one another that the city had MAPLE purchased at VALLEY the intersection of 216th Avenue and 276th Street that parks and recreation director Greg Brown said has “no real name.” “Both of these sites were purchased by the city over a decade ago and (the city) never got around to what the use should be,” Brown said. Earlier this year the city completed an update to its Parks,

Black Diamond boy given the gift of a ‘re-birthday’ BY KATHERINE SMITH ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com
May 29 was 5-year-old Ryan Norgate’s “re-birthday.” It wasn’t a typical young boy’s birthday celebration with cake and games and friends. It was late at night and his gift arrived in a red Igloo cooler, delivered by a volunteer who had just stepped off a flight, given by an anonymous donor.
Norgate, who calls Black Diamond home but is currently living with his mom, Patrice, at Ronald McDonald House in Seattle, was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia last year, a disease that effects only two in a million. May 29 was his “day zero,” the day he received a bone marrow transplant that is his only option for a cure. “The reason I want to tell his story is this is a very negative experience and I basically don’t want
to be victimized, I don’t want us to be victimized by this,” Patrice said during a few brief hours in Black Diamond on day 33. “I want it to be something positive and by bringing exposure to the disease and the bone marrow transplant process. I want to be able to share that with him someday, and maybe that helps save someone’s life.” The journey for Ryan and his family began in June 2013. Patrice noticed that Ryan was bruising easily but she just figured she had a rambunctious son who loved to play outside. Ryan developed a cold right before the family was due to go [ more GIFT page 7 ]

primary as constitutional. Democratic Party of Washington State v. Reed (W.D. Wash. 2002). The political parties appeal the decision. Sept. 15, 2003 The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals holds Washington’s blanket primary system unconstitutional because it violates the political parties’ right of free association. Democratic Party of Washington State v. Reed, 343 F.3d 1198 (9th Cir. 2003), cert. denied, 540 U.S. 1213 (2004). Nov. 25, 2003 The state of Washington and the Grange petition the United States Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision declaring the blanket primary unconstitutional. Jan. 8, 2004 The Grange files Initiative 872 with the Office of the Secretary of State. Initiative 872 proposes a “top two” primary system in which a voter has “the right to cast a vote for any candidate for each office without any limitation based on party preference or affiliation of either the voter or the candidate.” . February 23, 2004 The United States Supreme Court denies the state’s request to review the Ninth Circuit decision.

for presidential primaries, all properly registered voters can vote for their choice at any primary for “any candidate for each office, regardless of political affiliation and without a declaration of political faith or adherence on the part of the voter.” June 26, 2000 The U.S. Supreme Court rules California’s blanket primary unconstitutional as violating the political parties’ freedom of association. California Democratic Party v. Jones, 530 U.S. 567 (2000). Following this U.S. Supreme Court case, the constitutionality of Washington’s blanket primary is challenged by the state Democratic, Republican and Libertarian parties in U.S. District Court. September 2000 Secretary of State Ralph Munro begins a series of hearings around the state to gather public input on potential changes to the blanket primary system.
Consequently, the Ninth Circuit opinion declaring Washington’s blanket primary unconstitutional stands. March 10, 2004 The Washington State Legislature enacts a bill that provides for two alternative primary systems. The bill establishes a top two style primary system. Under the top two approach, the voter does not declare a party affiliation and may vote for any candidate in each race, regardless of the candidate’s party preference. The top two candidates in each race advance to the general election, regardless of political party. If the top two system is declared unconstitutional, a pick-a-party nominating primary is implemented. April 1, 2004 Gov. Gary Locke vetoes the portions of the bill that establish the top two primary. As a result, the pick-a-party primary takes effect. Sept. 2004 The pick-a-party primary is in effect for the September 2004 primary election. By early September, the Office of the Secretary of State receives more than 14,000 calls and letters from voters opposed to the pick-a-party primary. [ more PRIMARY page 13]

HEMOCHROMATOSIS While blood-letting might seem like a medieval type of medical practice to most of us, for people with hemochromatosis, the treatment is just what the modern medical doctor ordered. Hemochromatosis is a genetic mutation that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the food that it eats. The genetic disorder is the most common mutation occurring in Caucasians. Usually the symptoms of hemochromatosis don’t occur until the person with the mutation reaches middle age, which is why it is very important to keep having annual physicals even after becoming an adult. Too much iron in the body can wreak havoc on internal organs including the heart, liver, and pancreas. Although hemochromatosis may end up being more serious in men, women with the disorder are more likely to develop symptoms after menopause when they are no longer losing iron through pregnancy or menstruation. Chronic fatigue and joint pain are the most common symptoms of people with hemochromatosis. These two symptoms are commonly seen in other diseases which is why a complete diagnosis is often delayed. Make an appointment with your healthcare provider if you have any signs or symptoms that concern you. Depending on your symptoms, you may be referred to a gastroenterologist or to another specialist. You can call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972 to schedule a consultation, or visit our clinic at 27005 168th Place SE in Covington. We are open on Saturdays. 1081083

of the classic tale, passed away this week at age 87.
We’re repeating world history
In 1916 a secret meeting took place between British diplomat Mark Sykes and French representative Francois Georges-Picot concerning the future of the Ottoman Empire in what today comprises Turkey and the Middle East. Imperial Russia, their ally in World War I against the Central Powers, agreed to this plan. The Sykes-Picot Agreement divided the Ottoman Empire between the French and British and created the Middle East as we have known it for the past nearly 100 years. Iraq was created out of three distinct groups: Shias, the majority group, Sunnis, and ethnic Kurds to the northeast who were primarily Sunni Muslim. The British would have control of this nation, ruling through an Arab king. The British would also take over Jordan and Palestine and rule them as protectorates. France would take Syria and Lebanon as their protectorates. The decision reached in the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement at the end of World War I has been unraveling piece by piece in recent weeks. If you have been watching the news about these countries, you know that Syria is involved in a civil war between Bashar al-Assad and various groups of Sunni Muslims. Assad is an Alawite, a sect of Shia Muslims, and is aided by Iran’s Shia client army, Hezbollah, from Lebanon. Many of the Sunni Muslim factions are supported by Sunni Saudi Arabia and now the United States. History was made in recent weeks when a group calling itself the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria took over a large amount of northern Iraq and Syria. They also proclaimed the return of the Caliphate – the ruler/successor of Mohammed the Prophet. The last Caliphate ended in 1924 when General Ataturk abolished it and set up a secular Turkish republic out of part of the Ottoman Empire. This new Islamic state was created in primarily Sunni regions of Iraq and Syria. Whether this nation continues to exist will be determined in

Youth Council raising gambling awareness The Greater Maple Valley Community Center’s Youth Council Program received a grant from Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling and the Washington State Behavioral Health and Services Integration Administration to create a game app and song to promote gambling awareness. Youth Council is a leadership program that meets on Mondays and helps host safe events for teens and participates in different prevention projects. For this project we created story
the next few weeks and months by the United States, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. The rise of ISIS came as a result of dissatisfaction with the current leader of Iraq, a Shia named Nouri al-Maliki, who has favored his fellow Shias at the expense of the Sunni minority. ISIS’ recent successes have come as a surprise to the world, but are the result of anger over alMaliki’s favoritism. A neighboring part of the world, Russia, an ally of Britain and France during World War I, experienced a Communist revolution in 1917 that deposed Czar Nicholas II. Communist Russia withdrew from the war and ceded a large amount of territory to the Germans to gain peace. New nations were formed after the collapse of German fighting in November 1918. The USSR (Russia) was able to retake Ukraine and it tried, but failed, to retake Poland, a nation re-carved out of Russia that had not existed for a hundred years. In some ways, what is happening in Ukraine today is part of the recycling of decisions that were made during and after World War I. Russia is regaining some of the strength it lost with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, as Bolshevik Russia did after the collapse of German
resistance in 1918. By retaking Crimea, and giving aid to pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, Russia is repeating part of its history from 1919 and 1920. Russia has always considered Ukraine to be just less highly developed Russians, but family, nonetheless. As we approached the anniversary of the beginning of World War I – July 28, 1914 – the world experienced déjà vu as we look back at the decisions by Sykes and Picot, and by Lenin and the Bolsheviks in Russia. We will have to see how all these events play out in the next few months and years, but we are reminded on the 100th anniversary of that Great War that the decisions individuals and nations make have a way of coming back and haunting us later in our lives, for good or for ill.

boards for each game in the app. We had several brainstorming sessions to determine if the ideas would work or if we needed to change them. We created characters using a bamboo tablet to draw them and videotaped each scene. Using the green screen, we then created backgrounds. For the song, we brainstormed different lyrics and beats. Once the lyrics came together, we worked on Garage Band to create an original beat and then we recorded our students many times until the song was complete. The game app and song highlight different warning signs, how to set and stick to limits, how to have a balance in life, and finally, address what problem gambling is and who it affects.
We presented our project at the Washington State Spring Forum at the Great Wolf Lodge, and for the third year in a row, we won our room and were entered into a drawing to win a scholarship for the team.

Fire officials discovered that the contaminated box encountered by the workers was not the source of the leak, but that it came from a different package, which was located and analyzed by the hazardous materials team. “As is common in situations such as this, without more information about the material it is almost impossible to determine exactly what the material was given that there are tens of thousands of different chemicals and compounds,� the Kent Fire Department said in a press release. “The HMRT was able to determine that the material was a respiratory irritant but that it was not explosive, radioactive, or immediately dangerous to life, and that it was stable.� The leaking and contaminated packages were sealed and turned over to postal officials for further investigation.

alarms activated, waking the two adults and two children at 1:50 a.m. The family safely fled the house and called 911. Firefighters from the Kent Fire Department RFA and the Maple Valley Fire Department found an attic fire above the bedrooms and worked to keep the flames from spreading to other parts of the house. The fire damage was limited to the attic space, though there was smoke damage throughout the second floor. The Kent Fire Department believe the cause of the fire was a malfunctioning bathroom fan or a failure of one of its components. The owner of the house told fire officials that he had just changed the batteries of the smoke alarms in the home. Tips from the Kent Fire Department to make sure your smoke alarm works properly: 1. Change the batteries at least annually. 2. Vacuum the alarms once a year. 3. Replace the entire alarm every ten years.

t this time last year, most of us were excitedly planning for summer vacations, home improvement projects and BBQs. But for three Washington women – Sheila Asselin, Brenda Lee Bail and Amanda Blanchard –July brought an end to all those things. Last July, Sheila, 57, was killed by her husband. Brenda Lee, 48, was strangled by her fiancÊ. Amanda, 41, was killed by her fiancÊ days before her wedding. All three were victims of domestic violence. In 2013, 35 people in Washington – including three children – were killed as a result of domestic violence. Thousands more endure daily verbal, physical and sexual abuse. Domestic violence touches more people than you may realize including children and men. Some are able to break away from the destructive cycle, but too many often die trapped in it. Deciding to leave is one of the most risky and terrifying decision most victims will ever make. It’s a decision some victims will only get to make once. Imagine picking up the phone and making a call to someone you hope can provide a safe place to flee and being told there’s no room. That’s the reality for tens of thousands of victims every day.
That’s why supporting organizations like the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is so important. They make sure victims have a safe place to turn and provide important prevention tools for teaching our sons and daughters how to develop healthy relationships, training ourselves to identify signs of abuse among our coworkers, friends and family, and helping abusers break the cycle. I’ve seen how much of a difference every dollar makes for groups like WSCADV. Their Refuse To Abuse 5k is an easy way to raise awareness and resources for an organization that provides a lifeline to thousands of families every year. If you can’t join the 5k, I encourage you to learn more about identifying the signs of DV and how to help. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is a 24-hour resource to keep handy if you know someone in danger – 800.799.7233.
the resignation came with a “mixture of excitement and sadness.� He called the switch “a great opportunity to move up in my career without having to move my family.� His last day with the city will be August 8, though he said his last days in the office will be July 25 so that he can spend time with his family before starting the new job. Matheson, who received his Bachelor’s degree and Master of Public Administration from the University of Washington, will reportedly make $167,000 per year. While Matheson reported to the City Council as city manager, he will report to the mayor in his new role. “I’m going to miss Covington tremendously,� Matheson told The Reporter. “It’s just a great community.

Manager Andy Dempsey to resign. Margaret Harto was in her first year as the city’s mayor when Matheson interviewed for the vacancy. After being apart of “rapid fire, almost defensive conversations� with Dempsey, Harto remembers watching in awe as Matheson would sit and listen, paraphrase the question at hand and return a calm, measured and thoughtful response. “It was like, ‘woah, where did this come from?’� Harto said. “The council actually had to get used to that. As a result, it calmed the council down in a way that allowed them to be more comfortable in their roles.� City staff and council members embraced Matheson’s even-mannered and respectful leadership style. Harto remarked at Matheson’s quiet self-confidence and ability to provide a balance of work and family for his staff. Harto said taking a chance on the then 31-yearold couldn’t have worked out better. “There wasn’t an expectation that he didn’t surpass in many, many different ways,� she said. “It’s only natural that he would want to move on in his profession.� Harto said Matheson joined the city when it needed great leadership and an overhaul to its reputation. “I think he’s done an absolutely outstanding job,� Harto said. “He is the very best.� Matheson wrote that he is “incredibly proud� of his accomplishments in Covington — growing the economy, building new streets and parks and expanding services to meet the needs of a growing community.

Cooke added that she believes Matheson is the person who will best help Kent “grow gracefully.â€? “His belief in what’s possible here in the city of Kent, which he has worked around all these years, combined with the skills he’s developed over the years, really made him shine as the ideal candidate,â€?

Recreation, Cultural, and Human Services plan that was adopted by the city council in late February. The plan is a six-year, comprehensive plan that, “guides the City’s efforts and establishes a path forward for providing high quality, community-driven parks, trails and recreation programming,” according to the city website. The plan document stated that it, “inventories and evaluates existing park and recreation areas, assesses the needs for acquisition, site development and operation and offers specific policies and recommendations to achieve the community’s goals.” To date, the city has nine

like to see done with the properties. “The park plan is meant to be this guiding document that is fairly vague and then we are supposed to fill in the details with other processes,” Brown explained. To that end, the city held an open house at Lake Wilderness Lodge on June 25 to present some ideas and see what the community thought. City staff is currently compiling feedback from that meeting and will be present the results to the city parks commission July 23. The commissioners will make a recommendation about what steps to take next. “Do we hold another
open house, do we put a survey out to residents, do we contact groups that came to the open house or that we know of that have specific interests in the properties to make presentations to the commission?” Brown asked. “I don’t know what those next steps will be.” Brown added that a “typical” master plan can take between six months and a year to complete, but he hopes that due to the minor scope of the projects that a recommendation
could be made to the city council sometime this fall. “These are relatively small properties,” Brown said. “It’s really going to be more low-level use…we’re not envisioning this will become a community center or active sports fields.” Brown did say that the possibilities include a dog park or creating other, small community parks. He also added that the city does not have a budget for construction at the parks. “It’s not proposed at this stage to do any building,”

math to compete with the top students in the nation.”
Tahoma High School’s Math Team will compete at the Mu Alpha Theta National Convention in Orlando July 20-25. The Tahoma Math Team has been practicing since last September and will compete against along with over 600 other students from around the country. Representing Tahoma are the calculus students Lauren Baek, Alex Link, and Malise Yun. PreCalculus students are Melissa Anthony, Preston Fowler, Dylon Maertens, and Kristen Ward. Competing in algebra and geometry is Rhiana Martin. “It’s been great fun learning different theorems during math team,” Martin said. During preparation, the Tahoma Math Team has competed throughout the state in six math competitions. “This group of students has been absolutely amazing,” teacher and coach Malinda Shirley said. “They have been doing some serious
Among the team’s highlights this year was a state title won by Fowler in Statistics. Other top finishes for the team at the state competition came from Peng who finished fourth in speed math and 19th in ciphering, a fourth place finish by Culp in conic sections, a sixth place finish by Martin in chalk talk, a sixth place finish by Maertens in mental math, a ninth place finish by Stevens in equations, and a 19th place finish overall by Fowler. Overall, the team placed 10th. “It was really fun to compete with all the different teams from around the state,” Ward said. At Nationals the competitors will be tested for five days on rigorous topics such as statistics, logarithms, complex numbers, and mental math in addition to their core class studied during the school year. “It’s a lot of hard work but it feels great when you place,” said Maertens.
Additionally, Melissa Anthony and Lauren Baek will present talks on “The Mathematics of Disney World”. A highlight of the National competition is a presentation of the Yearbook of Club activities. This 50-page scrapbook chronicles the competitions and club activities based on the movie “RIO”. “The scrapbook is a great way to showcase what we’ve accomplished with our team throughout the year,” said Yun. The scrapbook will be judged at the National competition and will contribute to the school’s overall score. Lauren Baek (Chairperson), Ruby Baek, Malise Yun, Rachel Culp, Alyssa Truong, Kristen Ward, Rhiana Martin, and Jennifer Peng have spent over 200 hours on this culminating project. “We’ve all improved so much and learned from each other. It’s always great when you find a new way of solving a problem,” Anthony said. To get this far, the team needed the help of several sponsors. The school’s PTA, ASB, and Triumph Aerospace Systems contributed so that the students could participate in several competitions.
Tahoma High Math Team members, pictured above, have advanced from the state level to the national competition in Orlando later this month. Courtesy photo “Math is a foundational skill,” Shirley said. “With each level of math that is mastered, our students get a step closer to being Future Ready. That is a focal point of a Tahoma educa-
tion.” For more information about the math team at Tahoma High contact mshirley@ tahomasd.us.
Marking adventures in camping and RV repairs nice park run by Tacoma Power, reserved through the Washington State Parks system. We’ve been there before, but this year, without the kids, we didn’t even have to go find fireworks for the kids to watch. So we’re cruisin’ down the road and Phwap! Squeal! Tat tat tat tat tat... “What was that?” I said, as I gripped the door handle. “I don’t know. The gauges are all fine, nothing’s overheating.” As we went into a turn, my husband says “Oh, the power steering belt must’ve broken. We were about Gretchen Leigh

three miles out of Eatonville, so we decided to get to town where there might be an auto parts store open. “Oh, by the way, that belt also runs the power brakes.” I clung to the door and waited to plunge off the road in a fiery crash. “It’s okay,” said my waytoo-easy-going husband, “I got this.” “Pull into the grocery store parking lot and I’ll call AAA.” My husband climbed out of the RV and looked under the hood. “At least let me see what’s wrong. For some reason the air pump ceased up, then the other pulley wheel controlling the power steering and power brakes continued to spin the belt and it broke.” Blah, blah, blah. I just
wanted to call AAA immediately, but the auto parts store was a block away and I figured my husband needed to get all his options out of his system before he gave in to AAA. No air pump for 1985 RV at an auto parts store out in the middle of nowhere? Go figure. Then my husband, in all his easy going ways, leans one hand on the counter, contemplates our fate and says to the clerk, “I know a guy who lives in Eatonville. I see him at swap meets and car shows. Do you know this guy?” “Of course.” (It’s a small town, everybody knows everybody). My husband called the guy who came right down and led us to his house where he has spare parts and tools (a flat road,
without too many sharp turns). This guy has several huge shops on his property full of cars, car parts, junk and dead cars in the fields. He points to a pile in the field and says, “There might be one in there.” My husband found an air pump different from the one on the RV. He inspected it, took the back off the broken one and put it on the junkyard one. Then he bored the bolt holes smooth to adjust it for our RV. By the time all this was finished it was dark. So we spent our first kid-less camping night in the guy’s driveway. My husband was up at 5:30 and had the air pump installed by 7:30. He happened to have a new belt
that fit stored in the RV. We were back on the road by 8:30. My husband is some kind of genius. We did kind of rough it that first night because I realized I had forgotten toilet paper (the guy gave me a roll) and my husband forgot to fill the RV’s water tank. Nothing like a break down to mark an adventure in camping.

My husband and I went camping for the first time together without our children. I’m not talking about going to a car show camping, I’m talking about just going to a state park in our RV and roughing it. Okay, I know it’s not really roughing it when you have an RV, I’m just trying to make a point.

KING COUNTY MASSAGE THERAPIST GIVES UP LICENSE FOLLOWING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
Community Notes TRACTOR ROLLOVER INJURES MAN
A Maple Valley massage practitioner surrendered his credential to health officials in response to charges of sexual misconduct. Matthew Usher was convicted of attempted indecent liberties in King County Superior Court in May 2014 for an incident that occurred in December 2012. The license surrender completes the legal process that started with the immediate suspension of Usher’s massage license in June 2013. Usher agreed to never practice as a massage practitioner in Washington by surrendering his license.
A man suffered non-life threatening injuries July 3 when the tractor he was on tipped. Firefighters from the Kent Fire Department RFA arrived at the 14500 block of SE 288 Place shortly after noon and found the man conscious and alert, but unable to free himself. His leg became trapped as the tractor tipped over. Firefighters used special jacks, normally used in auto extrications, to stabilize the tractor and lift it high enough to free him. The patient was transported to a local hospital by ambulance after being examined by paramedics.

ROCKY COLLEGE CAREER

Bronson remembers the game and drive when his freshman year at the University of Washington fell apart. It came against rival Washington State. The three-star recruit out of high school who rushed for 3,810 yards in his career, fumbled twice, the second time near the goal line. The coaches yelled at the youngster on the sidelines and his playing time diminished. Bronson’ confidence took a hit. He finished the year with just 89 yards on 19 carries. He redshirted his sophomore year and transferred to Eastern Washington, where the coaches preferred speedy backs and saw the then 230-pound ball of muscle as a fullback and short yardage specialist. But that role didn’t fit in Bronson’s plans, so he dropped weight and jumped up the tailback depth chart, carrying the ball 132 times for 472 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2012, earning honorable mention All-Big Sky honors. Bronson began his senior season as the Eagle’s starter, before an ankle injury and strong competition derailed
Demitrius Bronson still feels a bit timid about being considered a member of the Seattle Seahawks. It’s not that he’s scared to broach the subject. It’s more that he fears it might all be a dream. “It’s still kind of a shocker to me,” Bronson said. “As much as it’s a shock to other people, I’m still in ‘oh’s and ah’s,’ too. But this is just the beginning. There are still more steps to this process. Once it’s settled 100 percent I can probably breathe — just for a second.” From can’t miss recruit to a bench-riding transfer, the Kentwood High School graduate is living a King County football fairy tale. The 24-year-old running back signed with his hometown Super Bowl Champions on June 16 and will enter training camp as a project with all the physical tools to be successful but none of the stats to back him up. “You don’t know when your time is done, so I’m just trying to enjoy it while I’m here,” Bronson said.
Demitrius Bronson (right) practices with his mentor/trainer/best friend James Laurence at Kentwood High School. Bronson, a 2008 Kentwood grad, is a member of the Seahawks 90 man roster. ERIC MANDEL, The Reporter his season, limiting him to just 32 carries. With a total of 10 starts in 29 games, Bronson finished his college career with just 600 rushing yards,
along with 14 touchdowns and eight catches. “My college career didn’t go the way I had planned it to out of high school,” Bronson said. “Yeah, you
want things to go perfect but that’s not how life goes a lot of times. That’s not really how life goes at all.” [ more GRAD page 12 ]

Bronson rushed for 600 yards total in a college career split between the University of Washington and Eastern Washington. He considered being a police officer before signing with Seattle.

This is all I’ve been asking for. One shot, one opportunity.” When Bronson returned to his hotel after the minicamp, he received a call from his agent saying the Seahawks planned to sign him, although league rules regarding college enrollment kept him from participating in Organized Team Activities. After more than a month, the signing became official. Bronson called it a “dream come true.” “I never would have thought in a million years… from transferring to UW to Eastern, to having a chance to play for Seattle

now — it’s not something that was in my thought process,” he said. “Pete (Carroll), he gives players chances and they find talent in so many different ways in so many different areas. I’m just one of those guys they seem to like and was given a chance.” Bronson’s goals are pretty standard fare in the undrafted football world: keeping the hunger for competition through training camp, outwork everybody else and take each day as it comes. “I really just think it’s all about who wants it more and, for me, it’s basically to come in to training camp and know the playbook and competing,” Bronson said. “I want to walk off the field and say I gave 100 percent for that practice.” But Bronson’s motivation goes beyond the clichéd
sports competitive spirit. He also knows that he must provide for his family — on the football field or beyond. “Having my son has made me want to run through brick walls that get set up,” he said. “I can’t just sit here and have him look at me and not do something.”
BACK IN COVINGTON A sports camp filled with dozens of variouslyaged children fills one side of the Kentwood football field as Benson runs drills and mock plays with his mentor/trainer/best friend, James Laurence. The Conk’s insignia stares down from the mini scoreboard and it’s as if Benson never left. “I feel comfortable (at the high school),” Bronson said. “That’s where the hard work started. Why change things now?”
Bronson lives in Auburn with his fiancé, Tatiana Kawachi, and 3-year-old son, Demitrius II. Bronson and Kawachi went to Kentwood together — Kawachi the cheerleader and prom queen to his star athlete. Somehow, the couple “met” at the University of Washington and have dated ever since. “She still to this day claims she didn’t know me at all (in high school),” Bronson said. Despite his immediate athletic prowess, school was a different story. After posting a 1.4 GPA at the end of his freshman year at Kentwood, Bronson embraced his education and recently graduated college with a 3.5 GPA and a degree in sociology, with a certificate in leadership. The opportunity with the Seahawks has helped expose him to a life after football. “I can go through so many avenues that before I couldn’t really get,” he said. “Raising a family in college is not easy. It’s something that, shoot, you really learn to appreciate and learn to evaluate.” Bronson works out six days a week at either Kentwood or the Seahawks training complex in Renton. Monday, Wednesday and Friday is spent weight room and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday is work on the field. In Renton, he’s chatted with all-pro receiver Percy Harvin about the consistency needed to make the team. At one point, while walking around the training facility, quarterback Russell Wilson called over and asked: “What’s up, Bronson?” [ more GRAD page 13 ]
www.covingtonreporter.com • www.maplevalleyreporter.com PRIMARY from page 3 ] Nov. 2, 2004 Initiative 872 appears on the general election ballot and is approved by the voters by nearly 60 percent. May 19, 2005 The Washington state Republican Party files a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, Seattle, against Dean Logan, King County Records and Elections Division Manager, and the County Auditors of eight other counties holding partisan elections in 2005. The Washington State Democratic Central Committee and the Washington State Libertarian Party intervene as plaintiffs.
July 15, 2005 The federal court issues its opinion in the lawsuit challenging the top two primary. Washington State Republican Party v. Logan, 377 F. Supp. 2d 907 (W.D. Wash. 2005). The Court concludes that the top two primary violates the political parties’ First Amendment right of free association by allowing any voter, regardless of his or her affiliation to the party, to choose the party’s nominee, and allowing any candidate, regardless of party affiliation or relationship to the party, to self-identify as a member of that party and appear on the primary and general election ballot as a candidate for that party. The Court strikes down Initiative 872 in its entirety and specifically states that
[ GRAD from page 12 ] “I kind of looked back to make sure he was actually talking to me,” Bronson said. “Those guys are cool.” Back in Covington, it’s often just Bronson and Laurence, unless Laurence brings along some of the local high school and college athletes he’s training. The pair met in 2008 and Laurence, who took a run at the NFL himself, has worked to clean up and perfect Bronson’s mechanics. “His body is unique in that he has a lot of natural abilities,” said Laurence, who graduated from Kent-Meridian in 1998. “Lord willing he’ll play until he’s 32. But there’s a lot of life after football.” Laurence “absolutely” sees Bronson as an every down back, but believes special teams is how he’ll need to hook on at the start. He also sees Bronson as a coaches dream. “He’s probably the most down-to-earth athlete that I know,” Laurence said. “He’s all around just a good person.” As Bronson left the Covington practice field Monday morning, a man walking with a group of kids jokingly shouted over: “I need my tickets, man.” It’s not the first or last time Bronson’s been asked for favors, kidding or otherwise. Bronson had to turn his phone off after fielding calls from, seemingly, everybody he’d ever known — some congratulations, others asking for handouts and about his salary. Bronson said he understands that even moderate fame comes with uncomfortably personal questions and genuine excitement and that he always appreciates the community’s support. “I’m just representing where I come from and how I’ve been raised,” Bronson said. “You always want to make your hometown proud.” Bronson said he realizes that he must still proving himself as an NFL caliber player. “It still hasn’t hit me yet,” Bronson said. “I am still training and practice like I haven’t made anything. It will probably hit me the first preseason game, but probably not until the first season game until I can say I’m actually a Hawk.”
Washington returns to the pick-a-party primary used in 2004. Aug. 22, 2006 The United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirms that Initiative 872 is unconstitutional. Washington State Republican Party v. Washington, 460 F.3d 1108 (9th Cir. 2006).

ARE LYNCH’S CONTRACT TALKS AN OPENING? There are four running backs and three full backs currently on the Seattle’s 90 man roster, which will eventually be cut to 53. Marshawn Lynch, the Skittle-pounding, 1,000 yard machine is the clear starter, with Christian Michael and Robert Turbin providing solid protection. But Lynch is seeking a contract bump and reports indicate he may hold out for a new contract into training camp, which begins July 26. Though Lynch’s uncertainty might prove beneficial to Bronson’s value, he said the contract situation has no bearing on his view of making the team. “He is there and I’ll try to learn from him,” he said. “But if he wasn’t, I would still feel like I’m in the same situation. I wouldn’t feel like I’m in.” When signing his own contract, Bronson said management mentioned Doug Baldwin, an undrafted wide receiver who jumped from obscurity to one of Russell Wilson’s primary targets in 2013. Baldwin was among 21 players on last year’s roster who entered the league as an undrafted free agent. Bronson said the Seahawks see him following a similar potential path. “The miles on my body are not really high,” he said. “In

Jan. 11, 2011 The United States District Court for the Western District of Washington (Case No. C05-0927- JCC) grants summary judgment in favor of the state. The Court concluded, “Washington
has implemented I-872 uniformly consistent with several of the ‘ways’ the Supreme Court envisioned would be consistent with the Constitution, and this Court therefore concludes that I-872 complies with the Constitution.” Jan. 19, 2012 The United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upholds the Top Two Primary. Washington State Republican Party v. Washington Grange, (No. 11-35122, W.D. Wash. 2011). The Court held, “Given the design of the ballot, and in the absence of evidence of actual voter confusion, we hold that Washington’s top two primary system, as implemented by the state, does not violate the First Amendment associational rights of the state’s political parties …”
the NFL you want to be able to last. That’s one of the keys to the game — being able to last and being durable. You want to play, you want to start, but maybe it just wasn’t meant to be then in college. Maybe this is my time now. It’s amazing how things work out.” Bronson insists that he is competing against himself more than anyone else. He wants to always show improvement and build on the stats he missed out on in college. “When they say Seattle has some elite players, they are not joking,” Bronson said. “It is cutthroat everywhere. Yes, I see a spot on the 53 man roster but it’s not going to be easy.”

preme Court overturns the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision, and upholds the constitutionality of Initiative 872. The Court rules that, on its face, I-872 does not impose a severe burden on the political parties’ associational rights and that the parties’ arguments that voters will be confused can only be evaluated once the primary is implemented.

There’s still time to plant summer vegetables and plants gallon pots as these can still be transplanted into the garden or grown as container plants. Perhaps tomato plants bought in July are like pets rescued from the pound – sometimes not perfect but extra grateful for an adoption that will save them from the compost pile. How does one prune raspberries? We moved to a new house and there is a row of raspberries that were a real treat to harvest but now they look like they are growing out of control. C.W., Kent Marianne Binetti
The Compleat Home Gardener
The second week of July is not too late to plant some vegetables or add some summer color. You can pick up some bargains on bedding plants and hanging baskets this month and as long as these blooming plants are not too root bound they will continue to flower for another two months. In the vegetable garden you can still plant seeds of beets, bush beans, carrots and chard as well as crops with a shorter growing season. Check the garden centers for healthy-looking tomato plants sold in one-
Q
A
Congratulations on finding yourself in this wonderful jam. Raspberries are best pruned after they are done bearing fruit and the type that produces berries only once in midsummer can be pruned by cutting the canes or branches that held berries all the way to the ground. These older canes will be brown in color. Leave the young green canes and tame them between two rows of stiff wire, bending the tops and tying them to horizontal supports – strips of nylon stocking make good plant ties. There are also “ever bearing� raspberries these produce fruit all summer. Cut these canes to half their height as soon as the top half stops producing
What’s blooming at Lake Wilderness Arboretum This fall, Lake Wilderness Arboretum becomes home to the first forest school offered in the South King County area. Little Sparrows Forest School is a unique pilot program developed by Sarah Schumacher, founder of PlayfulHearts.org and director of the only all-outdoors preschool available in our community. Schumacher, who also sits on the Board of the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation, will welcome children ages 3-5 to the 42-acre classroom without walls, helping them to develop a meaningful relationship with the natural world. Drawing from the earth-based methods of Coyote Teaching, the school honors the seasons, valuing the rhythm of nature in
berries and starts to turn brown. The bottom half of the cane should be left to mature and produce berries next summer. What the heck is a “lense� bed in a garden? Anonymous. I will guess you have stumbled upon this term in an old gardening manual. A lense is a planted mound that is wider in the middle and tapered on both ends. It was often planted in flowers with the colors flowing from cool whites and blues to bright pinks, reds and orange tones. Don’t laugh but there is another landscape term called a “ha ha.� It is a ditch hidden at the bottom of a slope that acts like an invisible fence to keep livestock
Q A
out of the garden. A “ha ha� is also used to hide the end of one’s property so that the neighbor’s fields and livestock can be passed off as their own. Large estate owners speak their own language. Please tell me some perennials that will bloom in a hot and sunny spot. I am going to stop buying geraniums every year and fill the space with flowers that will come back year after year. L., Enumclaw Daylilies, lavender, yarrow, coreopsis and most plants with gray foliage will take the heat but there are many more that will thrive in our cool summer climate if you improve the soil and water
Q
A
during droughts. If lots of color is your goal, then perennials are not perfect replacements for annuals or bedding plants. Most perennials flower for a few weeks instead of many months and you may need to stake, deadhead and divide the perennial plants to keep them looking their best. Perhaps you can compromise with a mix of annuals and perennials. Visit the nursery all year long, not just in the spring, and you’ll discover perennial plants that flower in winter (hellebores and heather) as well as summer bloomers like delphinium and salvia and heat-lovers that flower in the fall like mums, asters and sedum ‘Autumn Joy’.
all that they do, down to the snacks they eat and the art they create. “I’m really excited about our preschool and partnering with the arboretum to reconnect children to nature,� Schumacher says. “I’m also hoping it will increase volunteers and engage parents in the process of caring for the gardens where their children play.� Applications are now being accepted for the 2014-15 school year starting September 8, offering both traditional and cooperative preschool models to support the needs of all families.
