Long-time Maple Valley resi-dent Bob Satko has 12 grandchil-dren and will run 250 miles this weekend to help one very special grandson.

Completing the race isn’t about a specifi c time for Satko, or even about fi nishing. It is about doing whatever he can to help.

Last year Satko’s grandson, Blake Robison, was diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia, a rare blood disease. According to the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, the disease is inherited and can result in bone marrow failure and many diff erent cancers. Th e fund also estimates that 31 babies are born with the disease each year in the USA.

Blake was diagnosed at 2 years old, and he and his parents relocated from Alaska to Western Washington to be close to Chil-dren’s Hospital in Seattle.

“Blake is the happiest little boy I know,” Satko wrote in an email interview. “No matter what hap-pens to him, he always has a smile on his face.”

Satko has lived in Maple Valley for 21 years and started running in junior high. He had never ven-tured into marathons and beyond until he met fellow Maple Valley residents BJ Farish and Cody Hill. Th ey started running together,

Th e tumultuous relation-ship between the city of Black Diamond and City Administrator Christy Todd has ended, as Todd resigned aft er a little more than four months on the job.

Todd and the city agreed on a severance package May 15th that keeps Todd under contract, with full benefi ts, until July 31 and pays $30,000 for her attor-

ney’s fees. She will receive all accumulated vacation sick leave and other pay according to city policy. Th e total package will cost the city approximately $60,125, according to Finance Director May Miller.

Th e deal stipu-lated that Todd perform no ser-vices from the time of the contract through July 31, other than telephone or email responses to “inqui-

ries relating to ongoing matters.”

Th e city also agreed not to oppose any claim

of unemployment benefi ts, “so long as the factual grounds stated are accu-rate and include a statement that the employee voluntarily resigned from her employment.”

In return, Todd agreed to immediately terminate the ongoing investigation into her sex-

ual harassment complaint against Black Diamond Mayor Dave Gordon.

Th e severance agree-ment includes a gag order, where elected offi cials and authorized speaking agents agreed not to disparage each other.

Todd’s attorney, Lee Smart, will be paid “normal and reasonable costs and legal fees” associated with advice and representation during the sexual harass-ment claim, fi led Feb. 23, and subsequent retaliation

claims against the city, fi led March 24, April 23 and May 1. Th ough the original asking was for $32,500, the parties agreed to compro-mise at $30,000, according to the severance document.

Th e agreement was signed by the mayor and all fi ve council members. Th e Black Diamond City Council added a resolution on the matter to the May 15 agenda. Th e members approved the severance agreement and they also terminated the City Coun-

cil’s investigation. Councilwoman Carol

Benson, the mayor pro tem, told Th e Reporter Mon-day that it is “very, very diffi cult” for city’s of Black Diamond’s size to keep city administrators for an extended period of time.

“I don’t know if its normal for our city, but we didn’t have any city administrator for two and a half years,” Benson said. “… I just don’t think it’s that

Th e city of Covington has changed dramatically over the last decade. Once a business bare area, it is now a main attraction for neighboring communities, thanks in part to a plethora of fast food choices and shopping spots, such as Costco and Walmart. But

over the next fi ve to 10 years, the city

is expected to see even more commercial change, as the

Hawk Property, 212 acres of land

located southeast of state Route 18 on the northern border of the city, and Town Center projects are now starting to take shape. With those ventures will come oppor-tunities for dozens of businesses, including everyone’s favorite topic of discussion: restaurants.

“Not many people miss a meal,” said Josh Parnell, Vice President of First Western Properties who serves on the Covington Econom-ic Development Council. “Th ere’s

plenty of days I don’t walk into Target or Kohl’s, but I haven’t missed a meal in several years. Everybody has to eat.”

During public forums over the years, Covington citizens have mentioned Red Lobster and Trader Joe’s as desired businesses for the area, as well as a movie theater and Target. A Trader Joe’s will be opening inside the Lake Meridian Marketplace in Kent later this year, but the beloved seafood restaurant remains on the wish list.

Covington Community Development Director Richard Hart said the city has no control over what types of restaurant busi-nesses open in the city, fast food or otherwise.

“We also don’t survey the public about whether they desire more fast food services in Covington or what type,” Hart said in an

email.A game of fast food

musical chairs is currently underway, as a Wendy’s will be moving onto the site of the 76 gas station, along Kent-Kangley Road, across from Fred Meyer. Wendy’s submitted its Commercial Site Develop-ment application on Feb. 3 and it was approved May 6. Salina Lyons, Coving-ton’s Principal Planner, said the developer has not yet submitted the engi-neering phase plans or building permit for review and approval. Demolition of the gas station and car wash, which were built in 1998, is expected to start in June.

Another of the city’s fast food restaurants has a lease expiring in October and is expected to close. Th e property owner is quietly marketing to other potential businesses.

Lyons said new restau-rants coming into the city

are a private market deci-sion. She said the city’s zoning codes and down-town design guidelines provide the parameter for sites to develop.

“Th e city does not solicit restaurants or businesses,” Lyons said in an email. “We respond to questions and submittals by the private sector.”

With such expansion, though, should Covington be the traditional suburb appeal of strip malls, fast food joints and big box stores or move to a more similar vibe as Seattle and its local, foodie restau-rants?

Parnell said there is room for both, but that Covington is following the usual course.

“Typically the chains are the fi rst ones to go to sub-urban markets,” Parnell said. “It is very diffi cult for local operations to do on new construction and pay the rent associated with that.”

Parnell noted that Cov-ington is still a relatively new retail market, with most of its major busi-nesses coming since 2000. He expects more restau-rant variations to join as the city continues devel-opment.

Brian Pounder, Presi-dent of Regency Group Inc., based in Bellevue, was the leasing broker for multiple businesses in Covington, includ-ing Kohl’s and Office Depot. He said the city must continue to work at cutting out barriers and extra costs in its permitting processes. He said the city has missed opportunities, including a Target, because of the perception that it can be difficult to put a business in the city.

“They have to have a streamlined, predict-able permitting process,” Pounder said.

Dawn Gillespie, co-

owner of Nikki’s Restau-rant & Lounge, which is one of the few indepen-dently owned restaurants in town, said, after being open for 2.5 years, busi-ness is starting to pick up. She isn’t sure how her bottom line would be affected if more indepen-dent restaurants sprouted up in the neighborhood, but she does know it is difficult to compete with the major players.

“It’s a struggle,” she said. “Because you’re working against chain pricing.”

Parnell broke down the various types as “quick serve” restaurants, such as McDonalds and Subway, “full service,” like Applebee’s and Red Robin, and the increas-ingly popular “Fast ca-sual,” exemplified by Chi-potle and Panda Express. The fast casual, with its slightly little higher press point and quality of

food, has been a hit with younger generations.

Wendy’s, which fin-ished fourth in Business Insider’s Best Fast Food Chains in America sur-vey last month, behind Chick-fil-A, Chipo-tle Mexican Grill and McDonald’s, has made attempts to join that lat-ter most group, adding modern amenities and increasing elements of health consciousness. Their French fries are “natural cut,” with sea salt and their gluten-less items are all listed online. The layout of the incom-ing restaurant is expected to be similar to the re-cent opening in Tacoma, which has a fireplace and overall modern feel.

“A lot of people are excited about the Wendy’s,” Parnell said. “I think it will look and feel different than the older, rundown fast food restaurant.”

Roses are a beautiful addition to any Pacifi c Northwest garden.

Not as fragile as they appear, roses can be left to bloom on their own; however, with a little eff ort, you will grow healthier plants with more blooms.

Choose a site where the plants can sun for at least six hours.

Plant in slightly acidic or neutral rich loam, using organic matter or compost, with good drainage.

Roses are heavy feeders and need regular deep watering as well as air fl ow around each plant, to deter fungal

diseases like black spot or powdery mildew.

Put a handful of bone meal or superphosphate in the hole and into the soil, then place the plant so the knobby graft union is just below soil level, spread the roots out and re-fi ll.

Water deeply and apply one to two inches of mulch. Soak the roots of bare root roses in water for about an hour before planting.

Water every week and feed once they start to leaf, then about every six weeks throughout the growing season.

Roses are great cutting fl owers; enjoy the beautiful blooms in bouquets, too.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSUREThe most common type of cardiovascular disease is high blood

pressure. Blood pressure is the measurement of blood as it flows through arteries and pushes against the arterial walls on its journey through the body. Think about the air in a tire or the water in a garden hose. High blood pressure can cause damage to the body’s arteries much in the same way that excessive water pressure in a hose can damage it or too much air in a tire can create potential problems. High blood pressure can lead to possibly life-threatening problems such as stroke and heart disease. In fact, hypertension (the medical term referring to high blood pressure) is the leading cause of those killer diseases. In the United States, more than 30 percent of the population lives with high blood pressure.

Your lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure. If you successfully control your blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle, you may avoid or reduce the need for medication. A healthy lifestyle means eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, getting plenty of fresh air and exercise, and emphasizing water as your beverage of choice.

and before long, Satko was signed up for his first marathon in 2009.

“I tried it and have been hooked ever since,” Satko wrote. Over the last five years he has run 44 marathons, includ-

ing the Boston Marathon in 2012 and 2014. Satko has also taken on ultra marathons, running one 50 mile race, one 100 mile race and one 200 mile race.

“Most ultra races are on dirt trails and I love the feeling of running fast through the trees,” Satko wrote. “Maple Val-ley is the perfect place to do that.”

Satko also said that the peace and beauty of trail running is what he loves about his sport.

“It’s a time for me when my cell phone is turned off and the stress of everyday life just melts away,” he wrote. “We live in a beautiful area and with the running I get to see places in the Maple Valley area that a lot of people drive by every day and don’t even know exist.”

This weekend he is participating in the Pigtails Challenge at Lake Youngs. The race consists of loops around the Lake Youngs trail, an approximately 9 mile distance. Runners could sign up to run a total of 200, 150 or 100 miles.

Satko ran the 200 mile distance at Pigtails in 2012 and ended up in the hospital after running the skin off the bot-toms of his feet, he said.

“At the time I thought it was the hardest thing I would ever do and told myself I would never do it again,” Satko wrote.

In light of his grandson’s diagnosis, Satko decided he wanted to do something to help and that’s when he signed

up for Pigtails again. This year, Satko’s goal is to go beyond the 200 mile dis-

tance and complete 250 miles in Blake’s name.“I wanted to combine my love of running and my love

for Blake,” Satko wrote. “I knew I had to do something instead of sitting by and wishing that someone would help.”

Satko decided to raise funds for the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund.

“This is what I can do,” he wrote. “And if I raise money, and that money is used for research, and a cure is found, what better gift can I give my grandson?”

Satko runs every morning with friends and on the week-ends with Cedar Valley Runners.

Normally, he said, he runs 60-80 miles a week, and to prepare for Pigtails he has done as much as 140 miles in a week. He runs on trails including the Lake Wilderness and Cedar River trails, as well Lake Youngs and Tiger Moun-tain.

Satko also has the support of friends and family who will make up his support team this weekend.

“A support team is the number one priority on a long race like this,” Satko explained. “Just like Blake has his sup-port team of doctors and specialists, I wouldn’t be able to do this without my team.”

The team will consist of a crew chief who keeps things organized, as well as friends from Maple Valley who will run 10 mile stretches with Satko.

“They have the important job of making sure I’m taking in enough fluids, eating properly, changing my socks every 20 miles, dressing blisters on my feet as they arise, rubbing

down my legs and making sure I stay somewhat coherent for 72 hours,” he wrote.

In 2012 Satko said he did take a break to sleep during the race and that this weekend he plans to take one 20-30 minute sleep break each night.

“That means we will be running in the middle of the night, with no street lights and just a headlamp,” Satko wrote.

Pacers play a key role during the long nighttime hours, he added.

“Without a pacer it can get very discouraging trying to stay awake and upright,” he wrote.

The hardest thing about running such a distance, Satko said, is the blisters.

“In 2012 I had huge blisters on the bottoms of both feet that got infected and I had to go to the hospital,” he wrote. “This year I will be much more careful.”

As of Tuesday morning, Satko had raised just more than $8,000 of his $10,000 goal.

“I feel like I have been given a tremendous gift in my ability to run like this and I want to use that to help others,” Satko wrote.

The race started at 6 a.m. on Thursday morning and will end at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning.

The political primary run is officially underway as the candidate filing period opened May 12 and closed Friday.

Throughout the state of Washington, candidates had five days to formally file with the Office of the Secretary of State.

This cycle is considered an off-year election with no fireworks popping in a presidential race, but 47th and 5th legislative districts still attracted a full slate of new faces, former hopeful candidates and incumbents planning to return.

The primary election is set for Aug. 5 and the gen-eral election is Nov. 4.

Washington’s primary, which is a top-two system, advances the two candi-dates receiving the most votes to the November general election, regardless of party affiliation.

The all mail-in primary election is Aug. 5 and the general election is Nov. 4.

47TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT The 47th District in-

cludes Covington, Auburn, a portion of Kent and unincorporated South King County.

In the Senate, Republican incumbent Sen. Joe Fain is being challenged by Carol

Barber, D-Kent.For State House Posi-

tion No. 1 Democrat Chris Barringer, Auburn, is chal-lenging incumbent Mark Hargrove, R-Covington.

In Position No. 2 in the House Pat Sullivan, the incumbent Democrat from Covington, is being chal-lenged by Barry Knowles, R-Covington.

The state Senate seats are four-year terms and House positions are two.

5TH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTThe 5th Legislative

District begins just north of Enumclaw and includes

Black Diamond, eventually stretching north and east all the way to Issaquah. Chad Magendanz was elected two years ago to the Position 2 post and is running for a second term. A Republican, he resides in Issaquah. He is being challenged by Demo-crats Colin Alexander of Fall City and David Spring of North Bend, along with Ryan Dean Burkett of Is-saquah, who stated no party preference.

The race for the 5th District’s Position 2 seat has two candidates, Republican incumbent Jay Rodne and Democrat Essie Hicks, both of Issaquah.

8TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

Aside from the legislative races, voters will help send a congressman to Wash-ington, D.C., from the 8th Congressional District.

Republican Dave Reichert is seeking another term and is being chal-lenged by Democrats Jason Ritchie of Issaquah and Keith Arnold of Auburn.

A variety of judicial races including four seats on the state Supreme Court, along with seats on the state Court of Appeals and both King County and Pierce County Superior Court.

Political primary season underway

Last month, an inspector general for the Treasury Department revealed that from 2010-2012 the Internal Revenue Service handed out $1 million in bonuses to 1,150 workers who owed back taxes.

Over the same period, the IR paid out an additional $1.8 million in bonuses to 1,150 workers who owed back taxes.

Give us a break! Apparently, the IRS workers don’t have to follow the same rules as the rest of us who pay their salaries. According to the inspector general’s report, the IRS doesn’t take bad conduct into account when awarding employee bonuses.

Adding insult to injury, more than 75 percent of Americans paid higher taxes for 2013, thanks to the “fi scal cliff ” deal passed in Congress on New Year’s Day. Ironically, while warning of government insolvency and Congress haggled, President Obama spent $4 million of our money on his annual Christmas vacation in Hawaii.

Th e average tax increase from the deal is expected to be $1,257, but that fi gure belies the wide disparity in impact, according to the Tax Policy Center.

Th ose making less than $10,000 a year paid an average of $68 more in federal taxes, while those making between $50,000 and $75,000 saw an $822 jump. Files with incomes of $1 million

paid $170,341 more. Who says the rich aren’t paying their share?In addition, the tax rate for the wealthy

increased to 39.6 percent. Millionaires will pay $122,560 more a year from this one provision alone, according to the Tax Policy Center. And the tax on capital gains and dividends increased from 15 percent to 20 percent.

Th ose are only a few of the tax hikes from the so-called fi scal cliff negotiations.

So what does it all mean? Can government hike taxes this much without negatively aff ect-ing our economy and jobs? Of course not.

Families with incomes of $100,000 account for 40 percent of all consumer spending. Be-cause consumer spending makes up 70 percent of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product), econo-mists are very concerned that consumers will slow their spending, putting a further drag on our moribund “recovery.” Added to that are the 21 new taxes associated with Obamacare, which are phasing in this year.

Making matters worse, spending watchdog


Aft er staying up entirely too late last week working on my latest project – a pair of hand painted, Anna-themed Toms – I was ready to go Disneyland it up with my childhood best friend, wearing said shoes, of course.

Th e “excuse” for said weekend excursion was to redeem Disneyland for her. Her previous, and fi rst, trip to the happiest place on earth had not quite lived up to the Southern California hype.

Her fi rst trip to LA came as I was conclud-ing my college career: for graduation, the road trip home, and, it goes without saying, a stop at Disney-land.

Now, she wasn’t entirely new to Disney parks, she’d been to Disney World several times, but never to the original.

I had never, in the three and a half years I lived in LA, seen it rain in the Southland like it did that weekend.

To say that we were unprepared when we hit the parks would be an understatement. Being properly attired is key to successfully Disney-landing on a rainy day.

Been there, done that. Th is, however, was not one such day. She

at least had the excuse of packing light, at my request, due to the space constraints in my car — we were driving up the coast the next day, my car packed with the contents of my apartment. Technically, I could have fi shed hardier shoes out of the abyss, but I had just crammed every-thing in there; naturally I didn’t want to unpack everything — in the rain — and repack it again. So I soldiered on in my Rainbows.

Ten hours later we were soaked and ready to call it a night before embarking on the two day trip up the 101.

It’s a weekend that lives in infamy in the his-tory of our friendship.

As I dropped her off at her home two days later, we agreed that someday we should go back, she should see Disneyland in the sun, as it’s sup-posed to be.

Th at day was Saturday. And, boy, did Califor-nia deliver.

One hundred degree-plus days during the

week cooled to a positively delightful weekend, about as perfect Disneylanding weather as one can get.

We spent the next three days playing in the parks until we dropped, almost literally.

Mutually agreed upon favorites of the trip were Radiator Springs Racers, Indiana Jones, Th under Mountain, Toy Story Midway Mania and World of Color.

Indy has long been tied with Th under as my favorite attraction, and I was happy that both looked better than ever.

Indy just came off a refurb about a week ago, and I can’t remember the last time I saw the at-traction look so good. Th e doors into the Cham-ber of Destiny actually worked, as did the falling rope bridge eff ect. I can’t recall the last time the bridge worked, or the doors for that matter.

Th under reopened a couple of months ago af-ter an extended refurb that was well over a year long. Loved. It. Th e new explosion eff ects at the fi nale worked every time we rode, and the whole attraction looked great.

We had a great Jungle Cruise Skipper on Sat-urday, he told some of the best, little used jokes in the Jungle, in my opinion.

Not one of them, but still a great moment, was when we turned passed Schwitzer Falls. He did the predictable, “Well folks, we just turned down the Nile River, and if you don’t believe me you’re in —” at this point he put his hand out and

waited, wanting us to call out the punch line. And, of course, I obliged.”

“De-Nile!” I called from the back of the boat without missing a beat.

Yea, nobody else answered him. Just me. He laughed.

“Th at’s right folks, you too can be a Jungle Cruise Skipper.”

Indeed, you can. And I have. I made it a point that we would see World of

Color during our trip. I took my friend on our previous visit, we were way in the back and it was just kind of ‘meh.’ To me, being able to see the full height of the fountains makes so much diff erence.

We stood in the splash zone (depending on which way the wind is blowing you really don’t get that wet, and the fi re at the end dries you off ) and on the plane home my friend listed it as one of her favorite things that we did. #worthit

It was great to go on some rides that I nor-mally skip and/or hadn’t ridden in ages. Splash, Fantasyland dark rides and Autopia among them.

We ended our weekend with one last trip around the Jungle, and I even got to dust off my spiel for my friend as we made our way through the line. Yep, still got it. Once a Skip, always a Skip.

It was a successful mission. Said friend wants to go again next year.

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) estimates that the federal government loses $200 bil-lion of our money each year to fraud, waste and mismanagement.

For example, the National Endowment of the Humanities gave nearly $1 million of our money to The Popular Romance Project to study romance in novels, films and the Internet. While NASA has shelved the space shuttle program, it’s spending $3 million to study how Congress works. And as the U.S. pulls out of Afghanistan, the military has decided to destroy $7 billion worth of useable equipment rather than sell it or ship it home.

On Cinco de Mayo, the national debt stood at $17.475 trillion, meaning that every man, woman and child in the United States currently owes $57,514 for their share of the U.S. public debt.

According to the U.S. Debt Clock, our total long term unfunded liabilities are at

$126 trillion, a $1.1 million liability for each U.S. taxpayer. The main drivers of that astronomical number are our two major entitlement programs: Social Security and Medicare.

Where will it end?Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has introduced legislation to prohibit

the IRS from awarding bonuses to workers who haven’t paid their taxes or who have committed serious misconduct.

That’s a start, I guess. That leaves only $199,997,000,000 of our money that’s wasted each year by the federal government, while we pay higher taxes.Don Brunell is a business analyst, writer and columnist. He recently retired as presi-dent of the Association of Washington Business, the state’s oldest and largest business organization, and now lives in Vancouver.

terribly unusual based on the circum-stances.”

The council gave unanimous approval of Todd’s appointment on Jan. 9, after initially asking for more time to discuss her appointment following Gordon’s surprise dismissal of former city administrator Mark Hoppen when Gordon took office Jan. 1. The council wanted more time to research Todd’s background and speak with her. Black Diamond paid Hoppen a sever-ance package of $69,831.05 when he was terminated without cause.

Upon Todd’s appointment, Kenyon Disend, the Issaquah law firm providing city attorney services to Black Diamond, promptly withdrew because of a pending legal claim against the city of Maple Valley, which involved Todd when she was the city attorney of the Maple Valley.

Todd left that position in December of 2012 when the city of Maple Valley decided for budgetary reasons to contract out for le-gal services rather than pay a for a staff city attorney. She received six months severance pay and benefits.

At the time of Todd’s hiring, Council-woman Janie Edelman told The Reporter the council was aware of “issues” Todd had with Maple Valley, but was not concerned.

Benson told The Reporter Monday she never saw Todd’s resume and was not aware of any concerns about her past employment at the time of her appointment. Benson

said she thought Todd was “very orga-nized.” When asked if she would have voted differently knowing what she knows now, Benson replied “I can’t comment on that.”

Benson said she believes the resolution of the matter will help the delicate rela-tions between the City Council and mayor, which came to a head in early April when Gordon said two council members, Ron Taylor and Edelman, came into his office and demanded his resignation and threat-ened his job, marriage and reputation if he did not step down.

City Clerk Brenda Martinez will return to the role of assistant city administrator, a title she previously held for more than two years. Benson said no decisions have been made on the future of the city administrator posi-tion and the topic will be addressed at the June 12 Finance Committee meeting. When asked if the city could afford a city adminis-trator, Benson replied “I don’t know.”

Benson said that this result was the city’s best case scenario.

“It was costing us a lot of money,” Benson said. “The sooner it ended the better. There was no win-win.”

Benson said it was important to expedite a resolution because of all the money being spent on lawyers.

“I’m just glad we aren’t spending a bunch more money on a bunch more lawyers,” she said. “Whatever could cause this to go away the most expeditiously. Just to spend so much money on attorneys —this seemed

like the easiest out.”Councilwoman Janie Edelman initially

called Todd a good fit and, even after the souring relationship between Todd and Gordon, told the Reporter she hoped Todd would stay on.

Todd filed a sexual harassment claim against the mayor alleging Gordon made harassing and unwelcome comments, emails and behavior against her. Gordon continually denied any wrongdoing or sex-ual intent in his emails or conversations. He

told The Reporter on April 17 that he was approached by members of the community about firing Todd, but that he believed he and Todd’s working relationship would be “better than ever” with some mediation.

An investigator for the Cities Insurance Association of Washington reviewed the claims but made no recommendation. The council passed a resolution on April 3 for another investigation, with hopes that it would offer an opinion on how to move forward.

Th ere’s a healthy teeter-totter of perspective on the Kentwood soccer team. On one side, there’s head coach Aaron Radford, who, in his ninth year, has led his athletes to third place fi nishes in state twice. He never enters a game feeling confi dent or at ease with how his squad is playing.

Th e other side features a group of Conks teenag-ers, who sprinted into the fi rst round of the state tournament as optimistic underdogs that shocked the conference with consistent winning. And then winning some more.

“Bradford’s attitude is smart – having that slice of humble pie,” said senior center midfi elder Gar-rett Rudolph. “I think that attitude balances out well with that attitude of ‘we’re gonna win.’”

Th e expectations for the 2014 Conks team were limited. Stay near the top and hope for a state birth. Yet, aft er winning the North division with an 11-2-3

record, Kentwood capped its improbable run with the 4A West Central District title, shutting out both Gig Harbor and Skyview, 1-0, during district tournament play on May 15th and 17th, respec-tively.

Th e Conks were sched-uled to play Gar-fi eld in the fi rst round of the single elimina-tion state tourna-ment on Tuesday, the result of which was not available as of press time. A win would mean a place in the fi nal eight and a game Saturday.

Th e Conks failed to make the postseason in 2013, let alone prime themselves for a state run. But the veteran group, which consists of 10

seniors, has found cohesive-ness to be key. Rudolph said this is the most fun team he’s ever played on.

“Even if you’ve got the best players around the

state, what will carry a team to state is chemistry; how long can you deal which each other,” Rudolph said.

Radford was not so convinced early on, but has been amazed by his team’s drive to succeed.

“I’m pretty surprised,” Radford said. “I thought

back to where we were in the beginning of March… I was optimistic that if we could play well and be a good united team, we could make things happen.”

Brandyn Bangsund led the Conquer-ors’ off ense this season, notching 12 goals and six assists, while Mason Ru-dolph added 11 goals and dished an assist. Goalie Admir Kucalovic allowed only 12 goals in 18 games.

“I think I have the best goalkeeper in the state,” Radford said. “I know I might be a little biased.”

Th e Conks also fi nished with some impressive team numbers, outscoring opponents 37-12, with 11 shutouts.

But it wasn’t always

pretty.Aft er fl ying to a 9-0-2

start, the group lost back-to-back matches against the division’s top teams, Tahoma and Th omas Jef-ferson, and then tied Mount Rainier. It forced the squad into must-win matchups to close out the regular season.

Th en came district play against a strong Gig Harbor group and a Skyview team that Radford believed to be the best of the bunch.

“Getting two wins was above my expectations,” Radford said. “I was think-ing a win and maybe a tie. I’m very, very pleased with the way things have played out.”

Kentwood has never won a soccer state title, though they won the league title in 2011 and fi nished third in state that year.

While the coach and outsiders didn’t expect greatness coming into the season, Rudolph said he had his sights set high from the start.

“I was never one that was skeptical about our

abilities,” said Rudolph, who was a freshman on the 2011 state placing team. “I expected us to go even fur-ther than we are. I expect us to win this thing.”

Radford knows his group might be considered underdogs in the state tournament filled with schools familiar with soccer success, such as Snohomish and Central Valley. But he also doesn’t think anyone will look past them, either. Enough so that he entered Tuesday’s state matchup feeling optimistic. Well, maybe cautiously optimism.

“These guys have made me more and more con-fident because they keep coming through,” Radford said. “They are starting to sway me a little bit, but I don’t think I’ll ever walk into a playoff match and think nobody can touch us.”

DEADLINE APPROACHING FOR KING COUNTY ‘BEST WORKPLACES FOR WASTE PREVENTION, RECYCLING’ LIST Only a few weeks remain until the June 13 deadline to apply for recognition on King County’s annual Best Workplaces for Waste Prevention and Recycling list for 2014.

Business owners and employees are encouraged to nominate their businesses to the list, which recognizes King County companies that have excelled at prevent-ing waste and promoting recycling.

This recognition program is open all King County businesses, excluding those in the cities of Seattle and Milton.

The list, which will be announced July 2, honors local businesses regardless of size or business type – from education and medicine, to technology and trans-portation.

In order to be eligible for the list, a business must meet five required criteria, and be able to meet at least 10 benchmarks.

Benchmarks include actions such as collecting food scraps and food-soiled paper for composting, collecting batteries for recycling, or offering paperless billing to customers.

For more information, contact Karen May, 206-477-5281.
