Bronson handling his business on, off the field Regan
Bolli takes over as city manager
BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@covingtonreporter.com
Not many Uber drivers are asked for their autograph after a ride. Then again, there’s never been a Seattle Seahawk sitting behind the app-for-hire wheel before. Demitrius Bronson is ready to change that. “Friday night or Saturday night when I’m not doing something, why not make a few extra bucks?” asked Bronson, 24, a member of the Seahawks practice squad. “I’ve got two kids at home.” Turns out not everything Bronson has learned since landing in the NFL has been related to the football field. The Kentwood High School alum, who signed as an undrafted free agent with the defending champs over the summer, is looking beyond the CenturyLink turf to secure a steady income. Practice squad players earn a minimum of $6,300 per week during the season, though the Seahawks don’t release specific contract information. As a young man with a burgeoning bank account, and a non-guaranteed contract, Bronson must consider where to put his money carefully. “It looks like a lump sum of money, but you have to expand it out,” he said. The average NFL career lasts 3.3 years, according to the NFL Players Association. The NFL claims the average is six years for players who make an opening roster their rookie season. Meanwhile, Sports Illustrated estimated in 2009 that 78 percent of former NFL players had gone bankrupt or were under financial stress after two years of retirement. Demitrius’ main source for capital advice comes from his older brother, John, a former tight end who played a total of three games in the 2005 and 2006 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and is now the chairman of the Pro Athlete Chamber of Commerce in Phoenix. Although football is Demitrius’ full-time gig, he is also looking for advice about a few

That includes picking the brain of former Seahawks owner John Nordstrom when the former retail magnate visits practices. “There are great resources here if you just take the time to look what’s around you,” he said. “Those people (like Nordstrom), a lot of times you’re not going to run into on the street.

Maple Valley ‘going green’ with new LEDs BY REBECCA GOURLEY rgourley@maplevalleyreporter.com
Maple Valley is planning on “going green” with new LED streetlights on Witte Road and 216th Avenue Southeast. The cost of lights and poles is estimated at about $425,000 combined. The rest of the installations, which includes foundations and conduits, went out to bid this
week, according to Steve Clark, Public Works and Community Development director. The city won’t have an estimation on that part of the project until after bids have been received. The project on Witte Road between state Route 169 and Southeast 240th Street will include installation of 11 new streetlights and poles. The 216th Avenue project will feature 36 new lights. This is the first public project for
one of the biggest resources for business advice has come from a surprising source: his Skittles-toting, media shunning, defense bulldozing teammate Marshawn Lynch. Bronson nearly purchased a coffee shop in Lakeland Hills with his wife, Tatiana Kawachi, a long-time barista in Covington, though he said Lynch cautioned him against it. Instead, Bronson said Lynch encouraged him to invest
Maple Valley that upgrades streetlights to LED, Clark said. At Monday night’s City Council meeting, Mayor Bill Alison and the council members agreed not to take action on the resolution to approve the light order from Intolight/Puget Sound Energy. Instead, they plan to add it to next meeting’s consent calendar. The two orders are expected to be approved at the beginning of the Jan. 26 meeting. Clark said the new lights will be “whiter” than the current lights, but will not have a blue tint like some LEDs. He also said they will be installing shields to prevent the light from going into people’s homes.

In the second night at his new Auburn home, Regan Bolli’s car was stolen from his driveway. Police told him it was a rarity in the neighborhood and found the vehicle days later, deposited in White Center with a few dings. “Our neighbors said that was our nice welcome to the area,” said the 36-year-old Regan Bolli transplant from Ephraim, Utah. Bolli is expecting a much easier and more hospitable introduction in his new role as Covington’s city manager. Bolli has more than seven years of local government experience, most recently through a four-year stint as city manager in Ephraim, population of roughly 6,300. Bolli earned his bachelor’s degree from BYU in American studies and a law degree from the University of Denver.

Hot water issue temporarily closes restaurant BY REBECCA GOURLEY
rgourley@maplevalleyreporter.com
Lucky Chopsticks in Maple Valley (off KentKangley Road) was closed by Public Health of Seattle and King County on Thursday, Jan. 8 due to the “imminent health hazard of no available hot water,” Public Health said in a release Friday. Lucky Chopsticks’ Manager, May Pan, said the issue was with the restaurant’s water heater. “It sounds like (an employee) just touched a switch on the water heater,” she said. Pan said they have hot water, it just wasn’t hot “enough.” According to Pan, Public Health reinspected the restaurant Friday afternoon after she said
they had fixed the issue. The restaurant reopened Friday, Jan. 9 after the inspection was completed. Lucky Chopsticks, which was renamed from Golden Chopsticks in 2013, has had inspection issues in the past. Some of the concerns during those inspections are related to hand washing. Hilary Karasz, spokesperson for Public Health of King County and Seattle, said in a phone interview that those types of infractions are relatively common. “It’s not unusual to find issues with hand washing,” she said. She also said Public Health doesn’t usually close restaurants unless they receive 90 or more “red points” during an inspection. The department uses a golf-like scoring system, where the
[ BUSINESS from page 1] MAPLE VALLEY WOMAN ON ‘THE BACHELOR’ Maple Valley has taken center stage on reality TV with a contestant from the area. A dental assistant named Mackenzie, 21, is a contestant on the popular ABC show “The Bachelor.” Mackenzie, identified as Mackenzie Deonigi on her Twitter page and Instagram, is a 21-yearold single mother who’s son Kale made an appearance in a video on the show. Cathy Rehl, media relations for ABC, said Maple Valley is Mackenzie’s hometown and where she currently resides, but that Mackenzie, her friends and family are not allowed to do interviews while Mackenzie is on the show. The Bachelor, in its 19th season, involves a group of single women who are attempting to win over a single bachelor. The bachelor may or may not propose marriage to his final selection.
on better developing a brand for himself. Taking lessons from Lynch’s “Beast Mode,” Bronson is in the process of designing a website for merchandise and apparel related to his own Twitter hashtag: Compete or Don’t Eat. Bronson said he received a copyright for the slogan and its acronym, CODE. He plans to put branding on merchandise and potentially as part of offseason camps. “It’s surprising how many people want, let alone Seahawks stuff, but my stuff and I haven’t even touched the field yet,” he said. By putting a stamp on himself, Bronson hopes to generate money without Bronson technically working. It’s one of the many logistical lessons Bronson said he’s learned from Lynch, who he called “a great mentor.” “It’s too bad people can’t

Bronson is also looking forward to showing his own affable and respectful nature as a driver for Uber, the popular transportation app.
Bronson said he signed up to drive his 2010 Honda Accord for Uber in the offseason and is awaiting confirmation on a background check. Bronson said there is an element of danger as an Uber driver, especially
lower the score, the better the inspection. Lucky Chopsticks received a score of 40 last Thursday, 35 red points and 5 blue points, their worst score to date. The reason the restaurant was closed with such few points against them was because of the nature of the problem. Karasz said an inspector can immediately close a restaurant if they find an issue that poses an “imminent health hazard.” In this case, it was a lack of hot water. Red points are considered “critical violations,” whereas blue points are considered less critical and relate to the “maintenance of the establishment and cleanliness,” according to Public Health’s website.
as a pseudo-celebrity, and that he wouldn’t likely tell customers about his day job unless called out on it. “I think it’s a cool gig, though,” Bronson said. “It’s just free money. There’s a lot of free money out there other than just playing football; there’s a lot of other opportunities to try and make a name for yourself, as well.” Besides the extra income, Bronson said staying busy with work might keep him away from any potential troubles that can come with downtime — staying out later than usual, going to bars, getting into fights. “Next thing you know you’re on the front of the Seattle Times,” he said.
ON THE FIELD While growing his business life off the field, Bronson, who played football in
college at the University of Washington and Eastern Washington, appears to be working even harder to get on it. As expected, the running back-heavy Seahawks cut Bronson Aug. 25 in the third week of preseason, only to bring him back two days later. They cut him again Aug. 30, but signed him to the 10-man practice squad the next day. “They told me I was coming back,” Bronson said. “But you have that uncertainty.” Bronson rushed for 76 yards on 18 carries and caught one pass for five yards during the preseason. He felt the game experience went “pretty good,” except, of course, for “that drop.” “That probably would have won the game, for one, [ more BUSINESS page 6 ]

With the start of another year comes the promise of another session of the state Legislature and the prospect — no, make that a guarantee — of more laws. A lot more laws. Remember 2014 and seemingly nothing but irreconcilable political differences between the Democrat-run House and Republican-controlled Senate? The two chambers managed to agree on 229 bills to send to Gov. Jay Inslee. And remember how Inslee proclaimed it would be a “hold steady” year? He signed 225 of those bills into law. Already, nearly 100 pieces of legislation are drafted and in the queue for consideration as the session started Monday, Jan. 12. Here’s a sample of what may engage, and distract, lawmakers this year.

SECURING JUSTICE
ABORTION RIGHTS
A House bill seeks to ensure that protection in courthouses is the law, not a luxury. The bill would require cities and counties provide security for municipal and district courts – and to pay for it, too.
The Senate Democratic Caucus is united behind a bill to require coverage for abortion services in employer-provided health plans. Senate Bill 5026, with its 75-word title, is an upgraded version of the Reproductive Parity Act that’s failed before.
When lobbyists report their dealings with lawmakers to the state Public Disclosure Commission, they turn it in on paper. HB 1058 would force lobbyists to file electronically and make it easier to see how influence is being peddled.

Elfers is mistaken Mr. Elfers clearly needs to research Thomas Jefferson, who most certainly is not the “founder of the democratic party.” The party of Jefferson was called Democratic-Republican Party, which fought against the Federalists of John Adams & Alexander Hamilton, who believed in big government (like today’s Democratic Party). Jefferson would be appalled at the left-wing activists of today’s Democratic Party who raise everybody’s taxes incessantly, expand government at every level, write rules/regulations restricting our freedoms and seem to be inhabited by deviant, self-serving, mis-guided people who fight against every principle of Jefferson as set forth in his numerous letters & written documents (all available for everyone to read at your public library).

ASSIMILATE A bipartisan band of House members figures if state Supreme Court justices want to act like lawmakers (and order them around on matters like school funding) they should be elected like lawmakers. Their bill, HB 1051, would turn judicial contests into partisan races and have justices state their party preference on the ballot.
FREE THE FOE-LESS Voters could soon face fewer decisions in primaries. Today, all partisan offices appear on the ballot regardless of the number of candidates. HB 1023 says no primary would be held if only one candidate files for the position. That could free up space on the ballot. It also could enable incumbent lawmakers to spend less time campaigning and more time dreaming up legislation to introduce when next year rolls around.

the races are, arguably, worse than when Obama began his term. All across America, black people are rioting, saying that the police are more brutal toward black men than white men. When the grand juries did not punish the officers, the rioting only got worse. Obama’s election as the first African American president of the United States really did symbolize a step forward, away from our largely racist past. If we continue down that road, we can eventually, step by step, create a society that does not segregate or judge by race, but by one’s character. Once we achieve this, we will not only have made a great achievement, but moved even closer to a truly free nation.

he wouldn’t be cut a week or two later. “For some reason it just feels right here,â€? Bronson said. “The connection, the coaches... everything going feels right right here in Seattle. It would have been very difficult to leave even if team was calling me with a spot on the roster.â€? Bronson’s biggest area of improvement, he said, is mental — not dwelling so much on a misstep or a dropped pass. “I’ve just been learning to not think and just play,â€? he said. “You drop a pass, so what, go to the next play... You’re going to make mistakes in football‌ but it’s how you come back from that mistake is the real truth.â€? These are, again, tips he’s picked up from Lynch, who Bronson said can be much more emotional about mistakes than he sometimes lets on. “The way he gets portrayed sometimes is far off,â€? Bronson said. “The whole not talking to the media, I don’t know why he doesn’t like it. He just says he likes to play the game of football. He’s truly been a mentor on and off the field.â€?
SOCIAL LIFE Kentwood high school football coach Rex Norris recently hosted Bronson and his family for dinner. Norris said Bronson is the same humble, remarkably hard-working kid he remembers. “He’s probably an improved version of himself, but he’s still the same person,� Norris said. “Same perspective; very down to earth young man.� Bronson has been stopped for pictures at Fred Meyer and gets asked for autographs during what would otherwise be relaxing evenings out. It can get overwhelming, he admits, but he appreciates the support. “I think it’s tight,� he said. “I think it’s nice people notice because, like I said, I haven’t done anything yet.� Until he reaches the field, and probably even after, Bronson is not taking anything for granted – including his employment. “For the most part it’s fun; I love it,� Bronson said. “It’s only here for a split second and when it’s gone you’re gonna wish it was still there.�

The Bears rode the bus to Enumclaw Jan. 8 and took the Battle of the Bone wrestling trophy back home for the second consecutive year. The Tahoma boys beat Enumclaw 43-18. The Bears won 10 of 14 matches, three by pins. Nick Whitehead started the evening off by taking a 2-0 overtime decision beating Kyle Opland in the 126-pound class. The quickest and most dramatic match was 195-pound Adam Hokenson pinning Meyers Hammond in eight seconds. Meyers injured his elbow during the match. King County Fire District 28 emergency technicians came to the gym, treated him and took him for medi-
cal attention. Hokenson beat Bethel’s Eli TeuTeu 15-9 last week at the All-South Puget Sound League tournament and is becoming a strong prospect for state in his weight division. Hokenson finished eighth last year at 182 pounds. “Adam has been progressing nicely this season,” Coach Chris Feist said through email following the Enumclaw match. “He has a strong Greco-Roman background and it makes him very dangerous in the neutral position when he ties up with opponents. He is going to continue to work on his leg attacks from open and his leg ride series on top in order to prepare for a title run in February.” At 106 pounds, Justin Hoyle won by forfeit; at 113, Joe Novak beat Levi Norton 4-2; at 126, Justin Sipi-

Bronson brother following family footsteps BY ERIC MANDEL emandel@covingtonreporter.com
Sandra Bronson knows good “sport people.” Her husband, Johnny, played football at Army. Her daughter, Leitawsha, was a two-sport star for Kent-Meridian and Morgan State University. Her first two sons, John and Demitrius, advanced to the NFL. So when she, like a handful of scouts and coaches, says
her youngest boy, Josiah, has elite skills, she’s probably right. It’s just too bad Josiah is only starting to notice. “He could have been the top defensive player the state if he’d have gotten to it earlier,” said Sandra, from her home in Covington, with Josiah in earshot. There’s little denying Kentwood High School’s Josiah Bronson has the athletic ability to join his
brothers as products of the NFL. His measurables — 6-feet 5-inches tall and 265 pounds of lean muscle — have caught the attention of major college programs that include Ohio State, Oregon, Colorado and Washington. After a disappointing 2013 campaign with the Conks, Josiah finished the 2014 season as a first-team AP all-state selection at defensive end. He contributed six sacks, 13 tackles
for loss and notched the second most tackles overall on the team, according to his head coach, Rex Norris, who called Josiah “one of the best athletes I’ve ever coached.” At 5 feet 9 inches tall, Demitrius, a practice squad player with the Seattle Seahawks, admits that his little brother is bigger than him, but won’t concede that Josiah is a better player. Yet. “Out of all of us, all of
the Bronson’s, he’s looking like he’s going to be the best one,” Demitrius said. “He’s huge but has that athletic build… I’m really excited to see what the future holds for him.” Despite the interest from top-tier suitors, the youngest Bronson boy only recently became eligible for scholarships. Although his family asserts that the smiley 17 year old always [ more BROTHER page 9 ]

Houseplants will help you breathe a little easier
Old favorites like dumb cane (dieffenbachia) pathos, parlor palms and snake plant (sanseveria) adapt to the low light and low humidity of indoor rooms. A great tip is to notice what green plants survive in public spaces like the dark corners of waiting rooms or in the windows of office buildings. These are the houseplants that will also
WHICH HOUSEPLANTS ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT TO GROW? Through the years I get the most complaints about weeping figs that drop leaves, gardenias that become infested with mites and jade plants that turn soft and floppy. (Most often jade plants droop from too much water and not enough light.)

During the interim, Finance Director Rob Hendrickson served as city manager. The Prothman Company from Issaquah conducted the search for a full time replacement, which resulted in nearly 40 applications. The Covington City Council unanimously selected Bolli over three other candidates in November. He officially started in the role Jan. 12. His starting base salary is $151,072. This is Bolli’s first job in Washington, but he said he spent a summer in Vancouver and has a brother-in-law who lives in Seattle.

WHAT HOUSEPLANTS ARE HARDEST TO KILL?
survive in homes.
The Compleat Home Gardener
Want to breathe easier? Add some houseplants to your indoor rooms. Living plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen and many varieties add the benefit of removing pollutants from the air as they produce oxygen. Here’s the primer on healthy houseplants:
WHAT IF ONLY THE OLDER OR LOWER LEAVES OF A HOUSEPLANT FALL OFF?
Leaf drop, especially on older plants, can signal not enough water, not enough sunlight, compacted soil or a plant that has grown too large for its pot. Repotting is the solution that can solve many of these problems.
WHAT CAUSES A STICKY SUBSTANCE TO FORM ON THE LEAVES OF
HOUSEPLANTS? That would be residue from insects. Aphids, mites, scale and white fly all leave a sticky film on their host plant. (Think of this film as insect manure.) Hand washing each leaf with a mild soap and water helps destroy many of these insects but eggs will hatch and the colony will reappear if you don’t continue with the soap and water treatment every few weeks. Consider adding infested houseplants to the compost pile.
WHAT CAUSES THE LEAVES ON MY HOUSEPLANTS TO TURN YELLOW OR PALE IN COLOR? Mites are most often the culprit as these tiny invaders suck the juice from the foliage and multiply quickly on stressed-out houseplants
commercial base” drew him to the city. “It seemed like a really well managed city,” he said. “Derek (Matheson) and the other officials did a great job. There’s a lot of momentum in the city with economic development. It had a lot of what we were looking for.” Bolli said it’s important to be “smart about growth” and believes in prioritizing the city’s Town Center project that will give the city a more vibrant, walkable downtown. “Being apart of really creating the identity of a relatively new city is exciting for me,” he said. Bolli said he hopes to foster a working environment of “innovation and freedom of thought.” Besides development of the town center project, Bolli mentioned maintaining relationships with legislators, transportation and fostering partnerships as his priorities. “The community’s priorities will be my priorities and that’s how I will proceed,” he said. City officials considered Matheson an even-mannered
that are too dry. Lack of fertilizer, underwatering and indoor air pollution will also turn foliage pale.
WHY DO FLOWER BUDS FORM AND THEN NEVER OPEN AND DROP OFF? Bud blast occurs when potted plants throw a fit because you let them dry out or move them away from their light source just as they are about to give birth to new flowers. An infestation of mites, thrips or white fly will also cause buds to fall as many plants refuse to bloom when under attack by insect invaders.
WHAT HOUSEPLANT PRODUCES THE MOST FLOWERS WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS? I give my vote to the humble African violet.
All they need is a bright window and moist soil and they will bloom on and off all year long. You can group several blooming African violets onto a tray for a centerpiece, display a collection lined up on a windowsill or set a potted violet into a basket or bowl with other houseplants to create a living dish garden. You must keep the soil moist but not wet. Bloom inducing tip: When you boil and egg, used the cool, salt-free water to water your African violets. The calcium that leaches into the cooking water from the egg shell will encourage blooms on African violets.

city manager during his seven years in Covington, helping to grow the city’s economy, build new streets and bring in businesses. Councilman Joseph Cimaomo, Jr. said Bolli wowed the council with the background knowledge he’d gleaned while researching the city. Cimaomo said the passion and the way Bolli immediately bought into the “we” aspect of the city sold them on his sincerity. “We hit a gold mine with Derek and I think we hit another gold mine with Regan,” Cimaomo said. Bolli said he hopes to find a solid balance between making city government as efficient as business in the private sector, while also being transparent for the public. “If you can move at the speed of business and process their requests like is done in private sector, that is fundamental in going forward,” he said. “I think it’s good to be methodical and make sure everything is thought out. But we also need to learn the value of movement.”

Bacteria and viruses are both types of microbes. They can cause acute, chronic, and latent infections. They both can be spread by coughing and sneezing, by human contact with infected people, and by contact with infected animals or insects. They can also both cause similar symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, tiredness, and cramps. Bacteria are somewhat complex, single-celled organisms that can survive without a host. Viruses are smaller than bacteria and cannot survive on their own. Most bacteria do not cause illness and are helpful by aiding in digestion, destroying microbes that cause disease, and even fighting cancer. Conversely, most viruses do cause illness. In some cases, they can even turn healthy cells into cancerous cells. Please call your healthcare provider if you think you have a bacterial or viral infection. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, and many leading organizations now recommend against using antibiotics unless there is clear evidence of a bacterial infection.

BACTERIA VERSUS VIRUSES
Sound complaints are one of the hardest things to diagnose. A vehicle can make all kinds of sounds including a squealing, groaning, rattling, knocking, scrapping or metallic rubbing sound. The key is to be familiar with the sound that your vehicle is making. If your vehicle makes a different sound than normal, pay attention to when the sound happens and how often it happens. This can help our technicians diagnose the problem faster and more accurately.

K-12: Expensive focus of 2015 session Washington’s lawmakers have opened this year’s legislative session amid predictions of a long and contentious debate focused on budget and tax votes for the K-12 education system. Lawmakers are confronted with a mountain of expensive problems to solve, but education funding is pivotal. The Washington Supreme Court held the Legislature in contempt last year for engaging in “an ongoing violation of its constitutional duty to K-12 children,� by not adequately funding public education. Combined with the responsibility to fund a classsize initiative (1351) passed in the recent election, education will likely take a large chunk out of the budget. Meeting the requirements of the www.

Supreme Court’s decision is estimated to cost around $2 billion, with the class-size initiative expected to tack on another $2 billion. Gov. Jay Inslee is pushing a budget proposal that relies on establishing a 7 percent capital-gains tax, a carbonemissions tax, an excise tax on vaporizers, a 50-cent-per-pack increase on cigarettes, and various tax break repeals. But the governor’s proposals are under fire as Republican lawmakers question whether tax increases are necessary to fill the spending gap. At a press conference Jan. 8, Inslee rejected a charge from Senate budget Chairman Andy Hill, R-Redmond, that the increases were included in his proposed budget as a first rather than last resort. “When you do the math, you have

Harley Healy
Harley Healy, 88, died on January 4, 2015 in Enumclaw WA. Harley was born in West Seattle in 1926. He is survived by his wife of 67 years Evelyn, son Stephen (Valerie), daughters Catherine Ratliff (Paul deceased) and Theresa Springer (Scott); grandchildren Marshall, Marie, Claire, and Emily; and three great grandchildren. Harley served in WWII as a CFC gunner on a B29. After the war, Harley became a member of IBEW LU 46 in 1946. A cousin encouraged Harley to attend a grange dance at the Ohop Grange, where he met Evelyn Sumey. They married in 1947 and moved to the South Seattle area where they raised their three children. Harley was a proud member of IBEW LU 46 for 68 years. After retirement, he and Evelyn took to exploring back roads, wearing out several vehicles on the dirt roads they found.
