A police volunteer walking through Covington neighborhoods checking on homes while residents are on vacation may seem like a small effort but it could have a larger ripple effect on patrol officers and the community. Covington Police Chief Kevin Klason explained the program, which is a pilot project that began in the fall. Over the COVINGTON years, Klason said, residents have inquired about volunteering with the department because they wanted to help out. Because it’s a small operation it wasn’t something which could be offered nor could a volunteer program be developed quickly or easily.
With opening day of the fifth season of the Maple Valley Farmers Market less than two months away, planning for this year has kicked into high gear. Victoria Laise Jonas, market manager and one of the founders of the venture, wrote in an email interview that past farmers and vendors have submitted applications already. MAPLE She wrote she VALLEY expects to see many more during the next two months. Jonas added that she will be out in the community recruiting potential vendors as market coordinators are always looking to add to the lineup. Patrons can expect some changes this season, Jonas wrote,

DRIVEN TO HELP Maple Valley teen Colton Egberg raises money to donate to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center BY KRIS HILL khill@maplevalleyreporter.com
Colton Egberg remembers the day his grandmother died after a two-year battle with cervical cancer: May 5, 2012. Colton, an eighth grader at Tahoma Junior High, also remembers the night three months earlier when his friend Cameron slept over and helped him make fliers to hand out so he could raise money for cancer research. “I went around the neighborhood asking for money,” Colton said. “I was thinking I didn’t want anybody else to suffer, I wanted to try to make sure nobody else went through this.”
An energetic 13 year old his dad Joel described as a good salesman going back to his Cub Scout days slinging popcorn to raise money, Colton would get home from school, do his homework then head out to knock on the doors of his neighbors. He would hand them a flier and explain what he was doing. Then he would head home for dinner, typically with about $100 in hand. In 2012, inspired by the battle his grandmother fought but ultimately lost, Colton raised $5,000. In addition to his door-todoor work, which raised $3,000, family and friends donated another $2,000 at her funeral. They dropped donations into a big
box after the pastor who officiated the service told those who attended what the boy was doing. Some donated directly to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Colton said, including one person who wrote a check for $500. This year, though, Colton has a new goal: raise $10,000. He plans to continue to knock on the doors of neighbors and reactivate a PayPal account he used last year for online donations. Colton will host a cancer rally April 21 at Lake Wilderness Park in Maple Valley. He’s spoken in all of his classes at school about the rally and asked Chris Feist, the dean of students at the junior high, about allowing Colton to do a fundraiser at school. There are more plans for the summer, Colton said, as he has set a deadline of September to raise the money. All money raised will go to Fred Hutchinson. [ more DRIVEN page 5 ]

Community News and Notes NEW STATE RULES ENCOURAGE INNOVATION FOR GREEN WASTE The Washington Department of Ecology has revised rules for managing organic wastes also known as green waste. Changes to the rules affect methods for transforming this organic material into useable or marketable materials. Green waste includes discarded food, yard debris, and agricultural waste and makes up 27 percent of the solid waste put into landfills. Disposal of
green waste causes more methane and liquid waste at the landfills. Methane is a greenhouse gas emission and is considered a hazardous substance. These methods include technologies such as compost facilities, composting with worms, and anaerobic digesters that process manure and solid wastes to make energy. “Processing and treating green waste makes products such as compost, soil conditioners and energy through methods such as composting and anaerobic digestion,� said Laurie
Davies, Ecology manager of the Waste 2 Resources Program. “These processes preserve valuable soil nutrients and organic matter that can be used in lawns and gardens, to enhance crop production, or aid in restoration projects that protect habitat and wildlife. At the same time, these management approaches reduce the amount of organic materials that are disposed in landfills or are burned,� Davies added The new rules provide exemptions to permitting for some activities, including composting, vermicomposting, anaerobic digesting and small scale organic waste conversion technologies. The aim is to provide regulators with flexibility to encourage and support new technologies. Recycling
green waste is a growing industry that creates Washington state green jobs. The rules require facilities to improve planning and operations related to odor control, and establish limits on the amount of contaminants in finished products. The new rules will become effective April 25. The rules will be phased in, allowing local health departments to adopt them and to give existing facilities time to meet the new standards.
KING COUNTY PARKS FOUNDATION A new partnership will cultivate donations and legacy for the next 75 years of parks in our community
The MultiCare Covington Emergency Department
King County Executive Dow Constantine announced a new King County Parks Foundation in partnership with Laird Norton Wealth Management based on an initial gift of $75,000 and a goal of raising $7.5 million for legacy projects over the next decade. “I am grateful that Laird Norton Wealth Management has joined with us in an important public/private partnership so that all people in our region can enjoy parks, trails and open space for generations to come,� said Executive Constantine. Descendants of early Seattle business partners William Harris Laird and his cousins, Matthew G. Norton and James Laird Norton, formed Laird Norton Wealth Management in 1967. “We are a family business with deep roots in the Puget Sound region, and we understand the importance of strengthening the community for future generations,� said Laird Norton Wealth Management President and CEO Robert Moser. “We take great pride in our commitment to the communities that have helped us grow, and we want to work with other families and businesses to invest in this foundation, which will contribute to our quality of life, making this region a thriving and prosperous place to live, work and play.� The King County Parks Foundation’s mission is to cultivate private-sector investments to connect communities to regional trails, open space and parks and to support the resiliency of King County’s parks and trails for future generations.

The Metropolitan King County Council has given its unanimous support to a study that will look at creating a memorial to recognize fallen deputies within the King County Courthouse. Fifteen members of the King County Sheriff’s Office have been killed in the line of duty since the department was established with the creation of the County in 1852. There is no memorial within the County honoring all the men who died protecting their fellow citizens. “Memorializing the members of the King County Sheriff’s Office that have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect their communities is long overdue,� said Councilmember Reagan Dunn, the prime sponsor of the ordinance. “I look forward to working with Sheriff Urquhart and the King County Police Officers Guild to ensure that these 15 heroes are never forgotten and that this memorial becomes a reality.� The measure has received strong support from the city of Covington, which sent a letter signed by the mayor with the backing of the City Council urging full County Council support. “The Covington City Council offers its unanimous support for your Proposed Ordinance 2013-0132,� said Margaret Harto, mayor of Covington. “As a city that contracts with King County for police services, we believe it is important to honor our fallen deputies here in King County.� The first sheriff deputy killed in the line of duty was in 1853, the most recent was in 2006. All fifteen deputies are recognized both in Washington, D.C. as part of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial and in Olympia, where they are listed on the Washington State Law Enforcement
Memorial. But there is no memorial in the county where the deputies lost their lives. The adopted ordinance calls on the executive and the King County Sheriff to develop a proposal for the creation of a memorial at the courthouse to be submitteed to the County Council by June 1.
KING COUNTY ELECTIONS TO HOST FREE WORKSHOPS King County Elections is hosting two free two-hour workshops for candidates intending to file for office. Members of the public, candidates, campaign managers, treasurers and staff are invited to attend the 2013 Candidate Workshops. Workshops will be offered on the following days: 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., April 25 10 a.m. to noon, April 27 Both workshops will be held at the King County Elections office located at 919 SW Grady Way in Renton. Those interested in attending must RSVP via email to election.operations@kingcounty.gov. The workshops will cover filing for office in King County, submitting your local voters’ pamphlet information, voter lists and data management, campaign sign regulations and basic public disclosure information. Online and in-person candidate filing begins May 13.
MAPLE VALLEY WOMAN HONORED AS DISPATCHER OF THE YEAR King County Executive Dow Constantine congratulated three public employees who are being honored for their outstanding contributions to the community’s health and safety as King County Emergency Medical Dispatchers of the Year. “Congratulations to this year’s winners, and a heartfelt thanks to all 911 dispatchers for the calm way they go about the business of saving lives by helping people through crises,� said Executive Constantine. This year’s award winners include Wendy Glover of Maple Valley from Valley Communications Center in Kent, and Devin Pekema of Bellevue and Mark Wood of North Bend both with Norcom Communications Center in Bellevue. Glover received two awards, one for sustained exemplary performance and another for exemplary handling of a critical EMS incident. Glover used her expertise to calm a very frantic caller and got him to immediately begin chest compressions on an unconscious patient, all while reassuring the caller. Her swift and prompt action coupled with her ability to remain focused was a key component in this resuscitation effort. Part of King County’s world-class Emergency Medical Services/Medic One system, emergency medical dispatchers protect the public’s health and safety with critical medical advice to callers and by making quick decisions about the best emergency medical care. The awards recognize overall excellence and expert response to critical incidents, and they are given annually by the Seattle and King County Emergency Medical Services Division of Public Health during National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week.

Club connects, supports moms of multiples BY KATHERINE SMITH
ksmith@maplevalleyreporter.com
Jules Maas and her husband were shocked when they found out they were having triplets in 2010 and they weren’t sure where to begin. That fall, four months before their daughters were born, Maas began attending Valley Moms of Multiples Club and found the human connection she’d been searching for. “You don’t know what you don’t know,� said longtime club member Amy Spies, whose twins are 26, of parenting multiples. The club’s monthly meetings gave Maas a chance to get out of the house for a few hours and connected her to other moms who knew what it was like to
MAPLE VALLEY STUDENT NAMED TO DEAN’S LIST Michael Weiland of Maple Valley was named to the Dean’s list at Central Washington University for the winter quarter. Achievement of the Dean’s list is a significant accomplishment. Dean’s lists are widely recognized throughout higher education as a standard of scholastic excellence.
have multiples. “There isn’t a lot of time to get out but I think if I didn’t I’d go crazy,� Maas said. Spies recalled the “now what?� moment she had when she got in the car to take her twins home after they were born. Spies went to the group sporadically with a friend and joined officially when her daughters were 2. Besides the monthly meetings with speakers and time for the moms to talk about what is going on with their multiples, the group also offers support and outreach to families of multiples, volunteers with and donates to local charities and hosts other events and a bi-annual sale of gently used children’s items.
“People are really looking for help,� Maas said. “Books and articles are great, but they won’t help you in a pinch.� The club is affiliated with the Northwest Association of Mothers of Twins clubs and has members from around the area with multiples of all ages. Some of the club members are traveling to Spokane this weekend for the annual conference — a chance for moms to get away for a weekend and participate in workshops and activities. The location and theme of the conference changes every year, this year the association is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is utilizing a retro theme. “The speakers are usually phenomenal,� Spies said.
“I’ve been doing this for over 20 years and I’ve never heard a bad one.� One of the highlights of the weekend is the Friday night party that is a chance to dress up and let loose. “No guys allowed, no kids allowed, and that’s all I can tell you,� Spies said. Maas joked that she might sleep the entire weekend. “For the last two years I’ve run on adrenaline and not a lot of sleep,� Maas said. On a serious note she added that she’s looking forward to the workshops, especially one about how to turn your hobby into an at home business. When it comes right down to it the group is about building friend-
ships and supporting one another. “We want to help people who are in this situation, whether their kids are young or old,� Spies said. For Maas and her husband the help and support of the group has been invaluable. “It makes you feel a lot less alone,� Maas said. “It’s very solitary sometimes, having multiples.� For more information on Valley Moms of Multiples visit the club’s website at www.valleymomc.org.

This year the Maple Valley Farmers Market, which is open every Saturday at Rock Creek Elementary from June 15 to Oct. 5, will operate an hour longer than in previous years, opening at 9 a.m. and closing at 2 p.m. “We heard from our customers and vendors that they would like the market to be open one additional hour, so this year we are a five hour market,� Jonas wrote. “I have already received a number of positive comments about extending our hours — I am confident it will be a win-win situation for everyone involved in our market operations and our customers!� There will also be some new faces at the market this year, Jonas explained, but there will be many returning vendors as well. Jonas wrote that some vendors have let her know they’ve retired from selling at farmers markets altogether or are selling online exclusively but there will be some new farmers and processors and maybe some new prepared food vendors.

MATTSON MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS SELECTED AS KING COUNTY EARTH HEROES Mattson Middle School Support Center students who have been selected for King County’s Earth Heroes at School Program for 2013. The Earth Heroes at School Program celebrates King County students, teachers, staff, and volunteers who implement projects at their school or beyond to protect our environment. The Mattson Support Center students were nominated by Assistant Principal Judy
Tasting Booth, Jonas wrote, where they can sample produce donated by a specific vendor. “When I attended the Washington State Farmers’ Market Association Annual Market Manager’s Conference earlier this year, I learned about the benefits of offering free samples to folks,� Jonas wrote. “Who doesn’t enjoy free samples. To make this opportunity a reality we are now seeking volunteers to staff this booth.� Jonas noted that upon reflection on the 2012 season, despite the MVFM being a newer market in the region, it went well. “Every year of our market season is getting better and last year, we did have an amazingly successful season,� Jonas wrote. “We are successful because of our vendors, customers, volunteers, sponsors and overall community interest and support.� There were more than 80 vendors who participated in the previous market season, Jonas wrote, who sold farm grown produce, flowers, dairy products, meats, honey, jam, oil, pasta and food as well as a variety of merchandise offered by crafters and artisans. It’s important to note, Jonas
Beliveau for the recycling program they implemented in September. The students collect all the recycleable materials in each classroom. Their teacher, Joanna Schile, started the program as a hands-on project to keep her students, who are developmentally delayed, visible as citizens of Mattson and of our earth. “The Support Center students, who are often secluded from our other 630 students due to their special needs, are not only helping the environment, but also learning how they can be positive contributors to their school by modeling for other students about the importance of recycling,� said Beliveau. A ceremony honoring the 2013 earth heroes will be held April 25 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Maplewood Greens in Renton. To read more about the program and how you can nominate someone next year, visit King County’s website.
wrote, that because MVFM is a member of the Washington State Farmers Market Association, products sold at the Maple Valley market are grown or processed in Washington state. Sales of these products account for more than 50 percent of sales at the market. During the weeks leading up to the opening day of the market season, Jonas wrote, “we continue to work diligently to recruit new vendors to our market, especially crafters (and) artisans.� Crafters and artisans are limited to 25 percent of the market booths, so about 10 vendors out of the 40 stalls. Because these vendors typically do not sell the entire market season, Jonas wrote, market organizers are looking for crafters and artisans throughout the season. Jonas wrote that market organizers are also on the lookout for more volunteers and sponsors. She added that the market board of directors are thankful for the support from community business owners who sponsor the market, with some who have been on board since the first season in 2009.
“We are dedicated to supporting and preserving Washington’s farmland and the sustainability of our local family farmers,� Jonas wrote. “Our sponsors’ tax deductible donation helps the Maple Valley Farmers Market continue to grow and serve our farmers and community. We are also registered with the Washington Secretary of State Charitable Solicitations Program.� Jonas wrote that as the details for this season are finalized, the MVFM volunteers who run it are “truly astonished this is our fifth year of being a farmers market!� “It’s hard to believe that our Maple Valley Farmers Market was established in the Spring of 2008 when a group of community leaders banded together and began to dream collectively of a farmers market becoming a reality in Maple Valley. And I am proud to say that most of the community leaders who served on the steering committee are still an integral part of the success of our Farmers Market.�

GREEN RIVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE JOINS REFORM NETWORK Green River Community College, which offers Running Start to students in the Kent and Tahoma School Districts, was selected to join Achieving the Dream, a nationwide reform network dedicated to closing the achievement gap at colleges and increasing student success. Green River joins 17 other colleges in Washington state as an Achieving the Dream institution. As part of the ATD network, Green River will analyze data across many different areas to
identify institutional strengths, and achievement gaps. The college will work with other ATD institutions, and receive assistance from experienced practitioners in using data to set priorities and create strategies targeted at increasing student success and closing the gaps. During the next three years, Green River will work with the ATD network to identify barriers to student achievement and opportunities for improvement, formulate strategies to address gaps, develop an implementation plan and establish a culture of evidence for continuous improvement.

That led to the decision to start a pilot program in which volunteers would have limited responsibilities then see how well it worked. There are eight or nine volunteers now. “We’re still in the pilot phase and will be for a while because I don’t have a staff that can oversee much of it,� Klason said. “One of the patrol officers has taken over this as a project he oversees. Right now what we’re having them do is vacation house checks, walking through all of our parks looking for damages, vandalism and any other problems they might see, and talking to anyone they might see.� Police volunteers wear a bright yellow safety vest with the city’s logo on the front and the words City of Covington Volunteer stenciled in large letters on the back.

Volunteers participate in training sessions so they understand what to report to police, what to do if they see anything suspicious, when to call 911 on a city-issued cell phone, and how to report identifying details of suspects or cars, among other things.

He would like to bring them in to to help during some of the summer events such as the Covington Days festival parade, for example. “One of the things we are looking into doing, but we’re not ready to implement yet, is having them patrolling the business

districts,� Klason said. “Having a more visible presence in the business districts, walking through the areas, noting any issues, stopping into the businesses and saying hi, or if they see someone using handicapping parking they can call our officers.� That visibility during vacation checks, in neighborhood parks and possibly around businesses in the downtown core in the future, could deter all manner of crimes of opportunity such as break-ins, vandalism, tagging, and car prowls among others. Doing so, Klason said, in turn frees up officers. For now, the pilot project with the current volunteers will do, at least until more resources can be found to expand the program. Still, a small effort by a handful of volunteers in bright green city-issued vests could have quite an effect on the city. “That’s the exact desire, by deterring crime, it frees our patrol officers to use their discretionary time to be more proactive and working on or following up on investigations and solving crimes,� Klason said.

� Q U O T E O F T H E W E E K : �I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.� -Amy March, �Little Women�
Learning how to sail my ship Staff Writer Katherine Smith
I recently finished reading “Little Women� by Louisa May Alcott. For those of you not familiar with the tale it is the coming of age story of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. Now, if you talk to someone who has read the book, or seen the movie, you’re likely to hear about Jo and Beth as favorite characters. Meg isn’t really on anyone’s radar, not surprising since she is more or less a noncharacter in the second half of the book. Amy is the obnoxious one, and it seems she usually gets a bad rap. It’s ironic, however, because Amy gets arguably one of the best lines in the book, “I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.� This line comes as the story draws to a close; the sisters are grown and they have weathered the trials and joys of growing up and the death of Beth. I’ve written columns before about education and the changes that are coming to our school systems. I’ve spent a good deal of time thinking about, and having conversations about my experience in one of the local systems, about my university experience and about what local districts are trying to do and the vision they are trying to realize in preparing their young people for tomorrow. About what I liked, what I loved, what I wish had been different and what I wish I knew as I went from an institution of higher education to the rest of life. About the way the world is and the challenges that Millennials face as a generation. I believe that students and recent grads need to have a voice in the changes that are coming. After all, it is our lives that our being scrutinized and their lives that will be affected. As I’m sure our readers know, finding living wage jobs amid the worst recession since the Great Depression has been the chief struggle we as Millennials have faced as we have come of age. I like to think that this challenge could become one of our biggest strengths. This is the way the world is and we have to

find a way to live in it. We must find a way to sail our ships and weather the storms individually and collectively. That’s part of growing up. Every generation before us has had to figure it out, too. I think the challenge will be good for us. I can only speak from my own experience, but I learned a lot in the time in between graduation and my first real paycheck. There were good times like seeing my friends Erin and Elyse graduate, road-tripping across the country with Karli, standing with my sister Becky as she got married and with Karli when she did too, and the birth of my niece, Emma. Then there was the hard stuff. The countless, and sometimes seemingly endless, job rejections, and two cancer diagnoses in my family. Sometimes I wondered if I would ever be a writer. But through all of that I learned. About not giving up and fighting for your dreams. About sticking it out and holding on. I know those are lessons I’ll take with me into the rest of life. Last week was my 24th birthday and my sisters did something incredibly cool: they framed my first column for me. See, it wasn’t just
Support coalition’s mission to conserve BY COURTNEY FEENEY

Guest Commentary
The Middle Green River Coalition has been voicing the values and vision of environmental stewardship in Southeast King County for over 10 years. A strong commitment to the watershed keeps this handful of passionate and knowledgeable individuals busy year after year. Applying for official nonproďŹ t status a few years ago prompted a board restructuring and a new look. Now the organi-
zation is reaching out to the public with a hand-crafted message and a full schedule of events. MGRC’s focus in the past was the Green River Gorge and pursuing Wolf Bauer’s preservation plan with state parks. Today, the organization continues to engage with park staff and attend commission meetings to stay updated on the agency’s plans for the Green River Gorge Conservation area. MGRC has also been expanding its reach in
the greater watershed to coordinate restoration and trail building projects on both sides of the river. For over three years, MGRC has been shoveling its resources into a stretch of public land just south of the middle Green River called the Bass, Beaver, Dandy Lakes Complex. The organization’s efforts there involve removal of invasive species and replanting with natives grown in the nursery. Returning the land that surrounds the lakes back to forest takes a lot of dedicated time, effort and money. It’s sure to be a long process with varying degrees of success, but with dedication the organization hopes to see the lakes complex restored sooner rather than later.
a column, it’s a reminder of everything I went through to get there, to get here. As a generation we tend to get a bad rap. As with anything, some of it’s true, some of it isn’t, and it’s easy for the good stuff to get overlooked. That’s one of the reasons I love telling students’ stories and giving a voice to the cool things they’re doing in our community. There’s a lot of awesome stuff happening here. Coincidentally, if you know a student who is doing something cool, shoot me an email or give me a call. I’m always looking for story ideas. In the end, after all the classes, tests, sports, extracurricular activities, programs and everything else, it is up to us to make the most of what this world has given us and to take on the storms we face, and as Amy said, to learn to sail our ships.

Building connections with the local business community has helped Middle Green River Coalition run successfully on the energy of volunteers alone. Work done by MGRC receives funding and oversight from King County with REI as a corporate sponsor as well. But the MGRC wants to inspire more local residents and businesses to advocate, protect, and enhance natural areas in the middle Green River watershed. Stewardship of public land is often overlooked so the group uses the power of rock to get people’s attention. MGRC’s annual Rock the Green event will be held at the Green River Com-
munity College this year on Aug. 11. The event kicks off with a 5K/10K through the Auburn Narrows Natural Area followed by live music, a beer garden, food and a variety of booths. To ďŹ nd out more about projects and events or how you can help steward public land, visit www.mgrc.org.

down. Prestige is not something we offer to politicians running for office, yet the most critical citizens seldom, if ever, run. The one time I saw a high-pitched, self-appointed watchdog get elected it was a disaster of psychotic proportions. Being vigilant in assessing and questioning candidates and their motives (or agendas) is the responsibility of voters. That is the job in a republic. A voter places someone in office who is to assess and consider the issues. After weighing the various sides, elected officials then make decisions based on their own best judgement. The job is not to simply mouth back what a constituency demands. This is known as the “I voted for you so you have to say what I want� demand. Apparently these folks slept through the republic part of civics. I don’t think any responsible political official will ever vote down the line to please all. If an official does, he or she is little more than a populist puppet waiting Dennis Box Editor

Over the next few weeks we will begin seeing declarations of candidacy for political office from many brave souls. I say “brave� because, after covering political races for far too long, I know a contested race can be one of the most stressful and scarring experiences one can go through. First-time candidates are often taken by surprise at the vitriol spewed for a race paying virtually no money, offering no real power and very little prestige. Politicians are open to attacks from both sides of the dais and often walk into a trap without ever looking

Anticavity Tip: Water consumption is the most effective way to slow cavity progression in children because of its natural ability to reduce intraoral acidity and cleanse the mouth. How much water is enough? As a general rule, the amount of water your child should consume (ounces) a day is equal to half their total body weight in pounds. Example: 28 pound child = 14 ounces or 2 cups; 46 pound child = 23 ounces or 3 cups.

for the friends in the great “communityâ€? to say which way is right‌or left. I often hear folks tell me how the politicians are the problems in the country, state or community. One can make that argument, but voters are part of that bargain. Our job is to listen and question and not just run everything through our “I only want to hear my sideâ€? agenda. I see nothing wrong with an agenda. We all have them, mine just happens to be buttermilk. If I could find a candidate to run on the “free buttermilk for meâ€? platform he’d have my vote in heartbeat. A candidate’s agenda or a voter’s agenda is not the issue or the problem. It is the ability to think outside the agenda. If a candidate’s or voter’s agenda puts them into a steelsided labyrinth, then there is trouble. My only observation is to listen to the candidates. Listen to their words and give them a chance to present their side. Their words will tell you what you need to know. And please let me know if there is a buttermilk candidate out there.

let. Tahoma Senior High School is holding a Grad Night extravaganza the night of graduation, June 11 this year. This event is a year long in planning, so that kids have a safe, drug free, alcohol free celebration after graduation. About 300 students will be taken by bus to two undisclosed locations for a graduation party. Previous locations have included Bullwinkle’s Family Fun Center, Argosy Cruises and Acme Bowling!
There will be hypnotists, a cash cube, food, games and more. It will be a lot of fun for the new graduates. A group of parents coordinates this effort and I’ve volunteered to help get donations for snacks and prizes for the kids. Norm, Tammy and Bryant Mack were quick to say they would help and sent me shopping in their great new store. Because of their generosity, the kids will have plenty of things to satisfy their hunger and thirst while on the buses for the Grad Night Party. Thank you very much for helping our kids stay safe.

their communities and classrooms as energized ambassadors for careers in aviation. We need that edge if our industry is to thrive in the future.� Washington Aerospace Scholars is an educational program for high school juniors from across the state of Washington, emphasizing science, technology, engineering and math.

While gathering pieces of the Japan album together, my oldest came into the room feeling overwhelmed with her English assignment. She gets a similar assignment for every book they read and she has yet to master the method. So I reminded her of the definition of insanity — doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results — and redirected her to a different way to tackle the assignment. I had her come into the computer room so I could coach her while I continued assembling items for my scrapbooking day away, all the while going in and out cooking dinner. I think it worked, because the hour she spent while I helicoptered around her, she got quite a bit done. However, on the day I was away scrapbooking, she didn’t get anything done. I have to say I’m rather grateful I lived this last week during spring break and not during a normal school week, but I’m exhausted now that I’ve reached the end of it. I think I need a vacation from this vacation.

The next day I figured she’d be less needy and would be off to her room, Skype, and her friends again, but she followed me around until I settled on the couch. She snuggled up to me and we ended up planning her 16th birthday party in the fall. She and her friends have been talking about an anime convention in Vancouver, Wash., for a few weeks and I was voted the first parent to approach about making it happen. It took me all day to put this plan in motion. But I couldn’t forget my oldest daughter who still needs help navigating through the end of the school year. And because she has short-timers disease with graduation looming in exactly two short months, she’s getting overwhelmed just keeping up with homework. Plus I have her 18th birthday party to prepare for, a graduation party to plan, and a school musical to attend several times — she’s playing in the symphony for it. And my youngest has to start getting her braces on next month which takes at least three appointments. Being overwhelmed with all my responsibilities, I decided to take a day this weekend and go scrapbooking with other enthusiasts. Although the day was meant to be for me, I worked on my oldest daughter’s Japan album. But it was time away from the house and away from my kids with adult women.
Living with Gleigh
As children get older it seems they should be easier. I’m here to tell you, or confirm to you if you have children of your own, they are much harder the older they get. My youngest needed to get her wisdom teeth out to prepare her mouth for braces. Helping a teenager recover from wisdom tooth extraction seems like an easy task. But sometimes when kids are in a state of pain, even when they are teens, they need more attention than ever from a parent — they need assurance that everything will be fine. It’s not a problem and I don’t mind. I still sometimes need my mother to help me manage situations. We will be mothers forever. But “being there� takes a lot of time. When the surgery was over, I took my daughter home and installed her on the family room couch. Then I had to run out and get her pain meds and soft foods she could eat for the week like ice cream, pudding, mac and cheese and spaghetti — I made that myself. After I got her settled with a bit of food, she wanted me to watch BBC’s Sherlock Holmes series with her. It’s a show she’s tried to get me into and I’ve avoided it because I knew I would get hooked. But she wanted me with her, so I stayed and watched. Nine hours later we finished the series and it was after 10 p.m. — time for bed.

Liven up shaded garden corners with color
SHADED AREAS WITH DRY SOIL – THE MOST CHALLENGING SITE IN ANY LANDSCAPE Think native when planting under fir, cedar and other trees. Sword ferns are a natural under trees but lamiums, nandinas, epimediums and pulmo-
narias also adapt to dry shade, especially if you mix organic matter into the soil and mulch with wood chips. Add taller shrubs like huckleberry and Oregon grape and you’ll have a shade garden that won’t demand water to survive. Not all nurseries carry native plant material. You should call around first to see who has a supply in your area. Color in the shade is the “A� list to light up those corners
maple that will thrive in the dappled shade of overhead cedar, hemlock and fir tree. Use the red leaf Japanese maples in the background to add depth (Acer palmatum Bloodgood is unbeatable) and the Japanese maple varieties with bright green or golden leaves in the front of a bed or against a dark-colored house. I recommend coral bark maples or the Golden Fullmoon maple for fantastic foliage. April is a good month to check out maple trees at the nursery so you can see the color of the fresh spring growth before it changes for the summer season.

The Compleat Home Gardener
Head to the nursery this week because new plants are arriving daily and the best plants go first. Last week I gushed over unbeatable plants for the sun and to be fair to gardeners on the dark side, here is a partial list of the best-looking, well-behaved plants for the shaded areas of the garden.
What’s blooming at Lake Wilderness Arboretum Did you know more than 3,000 native plants grow in Washington’s rain forests, alpine regions, river valleys, deserts and backyards? Native plant ecosystems are critical to sustaining the State’s wildlife, according to the Washington Native Plant Society,
which is sponsoring Native Plant Appreciation Week, April 28-May 4. To support the event, the King County Master Gardeners are holding a free talk and tour of the Arboretum’s Tribal Life Trail Sunday, April 28 starting at 2 pm. Beverly A. Morrow’s
leaves that are sprinkled with a dusting of golden spots. It may not have the spectacular blooms of a rhododendron or hydrangea but for a dark corner out of the wind or in a pot near the front door this workhorse of a plant has a golden touch. Acuba can grows to 5 feet tall but it can be pruned in the spring to keep it compact.
AJUGA – COLORFUL NEW VARIETIES LESS LIKELY TO RUN AWAY Ajuga is the evergreen groundcover that loves our climate and crowds out weeds and flowers with blue or purple spikes. New, more compact varieties like ajuga Chocolate Chip and the purple ajuga Burgundy Glow make this the Madonna of the plant world as this plant performer keeps
reinventing itself in new colors. Ajuga also performs well in pots and can dangle like a trapeze artist from hanging baskets.
ANNUALS FOR THE SHADE – MORE THAN JUST IMPATIENS Any plant with white flowers or with white variegation in the foliage will light up a shady area. Lobelia, lobularia, begonias, cleome, pansies, and fuchsias will flower without much sun but look for color from foliage plants like coleus, sweet potato vine and fancy-leaf ivy as well. Marianne Binetti will be hosting a new TV show called “Dig In� with cooking and gardening tips that will run at 7:30 a.m. every Sunday. The show begins this week and will be found on channel 10 (KXJO) and
presentation, “Taking Native Plants to Heart,� highlights selected native plants and gives suggestions on how to start a native plant garden, followed by a tour of the Trail given by Ankie Stroes and Nancy Lander. “The Master Gardeners have responsibility for the Tribal Life Trail, which celebrates the ethnobotany of its native plants for food, ceremonial, medicinal, utilitarian and clothing usage,� Morrow said. “I am interested in the ways the First

What to know about Coumadin: not just rat poison BY DR. AARON HEIDE For the Reporter
Should I still take my rat poison? This is a common question I receive from my patients but also from audience members during my presentations

on stroke treatment and prevention. Coumadin, also known as warfarin, has been a very effective tool in pest control. The reason it works so well is that it keeps animal’s, and therefore, people’s blood from clotting. Over time it accumulates in the rat’s system and when it bumps itself; unable to stop the bleeding, it bleeds to death. So why should a person take such a horrific sounding chemical? The reason is that not clotting can be advantageous in the right situations. It has been shown in several medical studies, including the SPAF (Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation) studies, that people who suffer from a specific heart rhythm problem, atrial fibrillation, that very specific levels of blood thinning using Coumadin significantly reduces the risk of stroke. The problem mainly arises with keeping the blood thinning, also known as level of anti-coagulation, at the right level. If the level is too low the risk of stroke is high, and if the level is too high then the risk of bleeding is high. The bleeding can take place in any part of the body but the most dangerous place for this to occur is in the brain, called an intracranial hemorrhage, or the gut, called a GI, gastro-intestinal, bleed. Because of these risks the level needs to be checked often. This means getting frequent blood tests. It also means adjusting your diet. The reason for this is that Coumadin specifically inhibits the actions of Vitamin K. Vitamin K helps the body form clotting factors. When the level of Vitamin K is not kept constant over time, Coumadin can either have too much or too little effectiveness, leading to bleeds or clots. Often people are instructed to avoid foods with Vitamin K to avoid the potential for this problem. Unfortunately, the foods that contain Vitamin K are often vegetables.
Avoiding these foods can lead to other health problems over time. I take a different approach and choose to take the time and resources to educate patients on Coumadin how to eat a Vitamin K equivalency diet. This entails teaching people how to eat a proper diet and to make sure that over time the amount of Vitamin K they eat is constant. Another problem with taking Coumadin is that it can interact with other medications, herbs, or hormones, resulting in adverse side effects. Up until recently this has been how people with atrial fibrillation and a high risk of stroke have been treated. As a result of the release of new drugs such as Pradaxa and Arixtra,also known as Novel Anticoagulants (NoA), there has been a change in how patients with atrial fibrillation can be treated. NoAs are pills that act as an anti-coagulant but has the advantage of being dosed at a constant level lessening the need for constant blood tests. However, it still has the risk of bleeding. A problem that may arise from taking a NoVA is that it is difficult to test for in the acute setting. This has relevance for people who show up to an emergency room with an acute stroke and are taking a NoA. If the treating physicians are not aware of this exposure the person may be given a medication, TPA (tissue plasminogen activator), that breaks up clots in the brain. The combination of a NoA and TPA could lead to a devastating outcome: Intracranial hemorrhage and death. I often advise patients taking a NoA to wear a medic alert necklace or bracelet indicating the exposure to an anticoagulant.

BY TIMI GUSTAFSON, R.D. For the Reporter
I always enjoyed a competitive spirit. Throughout my life, I was convinced I could accomplish more when I was challenged by formidable rivals, both at work and sports. Playing in the streets of my childhood neighborhood in London taught me that. Only as I grew older, and hopefully a bit wiser, I gradually allowed myself to keep to my own pace, although I still welcome a good contest because it brings out the best in me. So it naturally peeked my interest when I heard the other day about a gym opening in my neighborhood that offers competitive workouts. Actually, it is part of a chain called CrossFit with more than 3,000 affiliations worldwide. CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program that includes endurance training, weight lifting, gymnastics and other exercises. It is rigorous, to say the least. Originally designed for police and military training, CrossFit has developed an almost cult-like following. According to the founder’s website, http:// www.crossfit.com/cf-info/ what-crossfit.html, anybody can benefit from the train-
ing sessions, regardless of age or initial fitness level. There are also seminars and certifications for those who want to teach others. Even competitive CrossFit games are conducted annually to determine “the fittest human beings on earth.� What sets CrossFit apart from other fitness regimens is mainly its intensity. The studio, or as followers call it, “the box,� in my area has an ominous slogan on its homepage that says, “You can rest when you’re dead.� Critics say that’s only half joking because participants are regularly driven to utter exhaustion. Even that may be putting it too mildly. Injuries are to be expected when people constantly push themselves to (and sometimes over) the limit of what their bodies can tolerate. But there are reports of rhabdomyolysis (among fitness extremists also known as “rhabdo� or “uncle rhabdo�), an event where muscle fiber breaks down from overexertion, releasing protein myoglobin into the blood stream, which can lead to kidney damage and even kidney failure. Regardless of warnings by health experts, extreme workout schedules such as CrossFit are becoming
there are more than just physical health benefits to working out as a team. “If you can sweat and groan and moan with your co-workers you’ll have no problems working with them in a meeting,� said Karin Eisenmenger, a director of order management at Datalogix, a company in Colorado that specializes in data transactions, who was interviewed for the same article. There is no doubt that employees should take advantage of corporate-
sponsored health policies whenever they are offered to them. Things become more complicated when undue pressure is exercised to join in because it fosters the corporate culture and benefits the company in other ways. Also, it does not always seem clear how closely monitored these workouts and how experienced trainers are. Critics warn that CrossFit, for example, certifies trainers after just one short introductory seminar, which entitles them to start

MIGRAINES A migraine is so much more than just a headache. For some sufferers, the word “headache� cannot come close to describing the intensity of the pulsing and throbbing pain that comes along with a migraine. Migraines can cause tremendous pain that lasts for days and can interfere with work and everyday activities. They can be heralded by certain warning signs. For example, some people see an aura, flashes of light, or blind spots, or feel tingling in an arm or a leg. It can be helpful to keep track of what triggers migraines as well as pay attention to what offers relief. Keep a migraine log book, and talk to your health care provider about trying a medication that may help with the pain. Look for relief by seeking a balance between medication and lifestyle changes. There are coping techniques that can make living with headaches and migraines manageable. You can find relief in medications, alternative treatments, and by learning methods to reduce stress and relax. To schedule an appointment, please call Southlake Clinic at (253) 395-1972.

iscus throwers know it’s the little things that matter. At practice April 11 Tahoma senior Dallas Hayes and his teammates went through the motions over and over again, adjusting here, tweaking there and sending the discus flying. “It’s not about who is the strongest,� Hayes said. “It’s about who has the best technique.� Hayes has been throwing since his freshman year, after he saw the event and decided it looked like fun. Hayes’ personal best throwing the discus this season has been 152 feet, a distance good enough to have won the 4A state discus title last year, and an improvement over his sixth place finish at the 2012 state meet with a throw of 141 feet 10 inches. Hayes, however, isn’t stopping at that — his goal is to be able to close out the season with a personal best of 170 feet. “Coach (Keith) Eager is
Dallas Hayes practices his throwing technique at practice on April 11. Last year Hayes placed sixth at the state meet. This year he has already shattered his previous personal best of 141 feet. KATHERINE SMITH, The Reporter the main reason I’m good,� Hayes said. “He’s a great coach.� Hayes participated in throwing at the Junior Olympics in Baltimore last
year with the team Seatown Express. “At the national meet I didn’t do very well,� Hayes said. “I got nervous.� Training for throwing has
also helped Hayes with his primary sport, football. He played defensive tackle and center for Tahoma. “When we weight lift (for throwing) it’s the same
training, explosive lifting,� Hayes said. Next year Hayes will play football for Montana State University, where he’ll play defensive tackle. Montana State competes in the Football Championship Series. During the 2012 season, the Bobcats made a deep run into the FCS playoff tournament, losing to Sam Houston State in the semifinal. For now though, Hayes is working on perfecting one element of technique, which he says is the crucial part of a throw that can make all the difference. “It’s the start, if you mess the start up your throw is bad,� Hayes said. “A slight change in how you throw it can make a big difference in feet.� During the past four years Hayes has learned that discipline in practicing those details can make a big difference, both in throwing and on the gridiron. Ultimately it is the love of the sport that has kept him coming back for more. “It’s just fun to throw,� Hayes said.

Kentwood judo team taking it to the mat ksmith@covingtonreporter.com
Kentwood judo is on top of the league standings with three wins and just one loss so far this season. This year Kentwood had more than 80 students turn out for the team which is a part of a league that includes Kentlake, Kentridge, Kent-Meridian and Enumclaw. Judo was first offered at Kent schools in 1955 and was the first high school judo program in the nation according to Leslie Mizuki, the head coach for the Kentwood team. The program has grown over the years and more than 250 students are participating this season. Maximum efficiency and mutual benefit are the two main ideas behind judo. “It’s a martial art but it’s also a sport,â€? Mizuki said. “(It’s about) using the least amount of power and using it effectively ‌ awareness of where your partner’s body is and how it’s moving.â€? At the high school level students learn throws, pins, chokes and arm bars that they can use to overpower their opponent. The league has 17 weight classes in which students
WNBA’s Lynx draft Kentwood’s Moore REPORTER STAFF
The Minnesota Lynx drafted former Kentwood High star Lindsey Moore with the 12th overall pick Monday in the WNBA Draft. Moore, who played college basketball at Nebraska, is the second first-round pick from Kentwood. Chicago drafted Courtney Vandersloot with the third overall pick in 2011. Moore, a 5-foot-9 point guard from Covington, joined 11 other top collegians at Monday night’s draft live at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn. “I’m really excited to get the chance to play in the WNBA and for the Minnesota Lynx,� Moore said, according to the Nebraska women’s basketball website. “I was really nervous and when they said my name I couldn’t really believe it at first. I’m just going to try to make the most of the opportunity I’ve been given, and do anything I can to help the Lynx.� At Kentwood, Moore led the Conquerors to the 2009 Class 4A state tournament her senior year. She was chosen as the 2008-09 state Player of the Year by Gatorade. She averaged 15.7 points and 7.5 assists her senior season. Moore led Nebraska to the 2012 NCAA Sweet 16, closing her career as the Huskers’ all-time assist leader. During her four-year career, she started 132 games and won 94, which is more games than any other player in Nebraska history. She became the only Husker starter to play in a pair of NCAA Sweet 16s. As a senior in 2012-13, Moore led Nebraska to a 25-9 overall record that included a 12-4 Big Ten mark. She averaged 15.1 points, 3.6 assists, 5.7 assists and 1.8 steals, while shooting 46.8 percent from the field, 38.2 percent from

Prior to the 2010-2011 school year Kentwood and Kentlake had a combined team that practiced at Kentlake. Three of the four Kentwood co-captains joined the team their sophomore year when Kentwood started its own team on site. Quintin Trinh, a senior and one of the team’s co-captains, joined the team his freshman year after someone encouraged him to try it out. “I did wrestling before (judo) was recommended to me,� Trinh said. “It just seemed like it would be a lot of fun.� Wanting to try something new and challenge themselves was a theme among the team’s captains’ desires to explore the sport initially. “I wanted to do something new, I knew I wanted to do a martial art,� said senior and co-captain Christopher Sipe. The camaraderie of the team was a draw to Arenia Gurr, also a senior and co-captain, and has been one of the things she has loved about the team the most. “We all became really good friends, we all became unified through a sport,� Gurr said. “You have to get out of
your bubble and you have to interact with people.� Unlike many sports, in judo size isn’t a big factor in being able to do well. Rather, it’s about being able to read your opponent and use their own weight against them. “It is versatile,� said Janaya Rangel, senior and co-captain. The captains said their advice to other students would be if you’re interested in the sport, give it a shot. “You aren’t limited to how big you are,� Sipe added. According to the captains, many of the team members, themselves included, didn’t have any experience when they started. “Don’t be afraid to try it,� Sipe said. “When you join judo (the coaches) want to give you advice.� All four of the captains plan to continue to participate in the sport as they go on to college next year and beyond. “It’s not necessarily that you are out and competing, but you can do it for the rest of your life recreationally,� Rangel said.
three-point range and 80.7 percent from the free-throw line. She ranked among the top 10 players in the Big Ten in six statistical categories, including No. 1 in assist-toturnover ratio. WNBA training camps officially begin on May 5. The Lynx open their preseason schedule against the Washington Mystics on May 18 in Bismarck, N.D. They follow with their final preseason tuneup against Kelsey Griffin and the Connecticut Sun in Minneapolis on May 21. Minnesota’s regular-season opener is June 1 against the Sun at the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. The Lynx are coming off a 2012 season when they lost to the Indiana Fever in the WNBA Finals. Moore will return to her hometown when the Lynx play the Seattle Storm on Sept. 7 and 10 at KeyArena. She will match up with Vandersloot on Aug. 11 in Chicago and Sept. 14 in Minnesota. Moore said on the Lynx website that she’s idolized Minnesota point guard Lindsay Whalen and tries to style her
game after Whalen. “I honestly see my role as being a backup for Lindsay Whalen,� Moore said. “I can learn so much from her. It’s truly going to be an honor playing with her. The biggest compliment you can receive as a point guard is you make the people around you better and she does that day in and day out.� Minnesota wanted a backup to Whalen. “Our biggest need going in were a backup point guard, so we were very happy that (Lindsey) Moore was there,� said Lynx executive vice president Roger Griffith. “We had her as the No. 2 point guard behind Skylar Diggins.� Moore shot 38 percent on 3-pointers, which is something the Lynx were looking for in a guard. “I think the three is a strong part in my game,� Moore said. “I’m comfortable shooting them.� The Lynx feature a star-studded roster that includes returning Olympians Whalen and Maya Moore. Other returning starters include Seimone Augustus and Rebekkah Brunson. Minnesota is coached by Cheryl Reeve.

%PPMJUUMF T 3BJE PWFS 5PLZP SFNFNCFSFE World War II air strike on Japan boosted country’s morale BY DANIEL NASH dnash@courierherald.com
Ed Saylor is a member of a fast diminishing group. Originally 80 strong, conflict, illness and age have since dwindled their numbers to four. A fifth, Major Thomas C. Griffin, only recently died at the age of 96. At one time, they all agreed the last two survivors would share an aged bottle of bourbon. Now, none of them drink. The bottle will likely be donated to a museum, Saylor recently told a congregation of Enumclaw Rotarians. What’s the historical significance of this particular bottle of Kentucky whiskey? Its owners were the returning airmen of World War II’s Doolittle Tokyo Raid, a retaliatory bombing mission to boost American morale after Pearl Harbor and scatter Japanese forces. In planning, the operation called for a temporary squadron of volunteers to launch modified B-25 bombers — aircraft normally unsuitable for carrier transport — from the USS Hornet 400 miles off the Japanese coast, hit 10 military and industrial targets, and push forward to an airfield
in Zhejiang, China for eventual extraction from Chongqing. But in practice, the raiders and their mission were plagued by bad luck. A sighting by a Japanese patrol boat forced the planes to take off early into a headwind. All but one arrived in China by crash landing far from their destination. Though the bombings were successful, the return home for Saylor and the 68 others who avoided capture would come down to luck and aid from Chinese civilians.
JOINING UP Saylor’s story begins in Montana, where he was raised on a ranch outside the isolated town of Jordan. “I was pretty naive,� Saylor said. “I had never seen a train or a bus.� In 1939, after graduating from Garfield High School and before the U.S. had entered the war, he saw an Army recruitment poster promising wages of $72 a month; a comfortable living for the time. The 19-year-old signed up with high hopes that would only be partially dashed by actual starting pay of $21 a month. “At that time, there were no war movies or anything else that showed what it would be like,� Saylor said about his decision to join up. “So I didn’t know quite what to be scared of.�
Almost three years later, Sgt. Saylor was a 22-year-old flight engineer cooling his heels on base in Columbia, S.C. America had just entered the war, the wound of Pearl Harbor still fresh in the public psyche. Though a broken nose lent him a rough-and-tumble appearance, Saylor was still a combat greenhorn. One day, Lt. Col. John Doolittle appeared on base looking for volunteers for a top secret mission. Doolittle couldn’t tell them what they would be doing, other than manning bombers, or where they would go. Their loved ones would likewise be in the dark as to their whereabouts. Saylor opted in and said his goodbyes to his wife.
ENGINE TROUBLE Over several months, the crews practiced putting the B-25 bomber in the air in less than 500 feet — the length of an aircraft carrier’s runway — until they were ready to be sent to McClellan Field in San Francisco for final departure. Sixteen made it onto the USS Hornet: 15 to participate, and one more to test flying conditions from the carrier. Given that the bombers couldn’t land on the carrier once off, No. 16 wound up on the bombing run with the rest. Saylor’s aircraft, TNT, almost didn’t make
the mission at all. A week out to sea, Saylor was checking the oil on the right engine sump. By this time, the Raiders had been briefed on their assignment and targets. TNT would be hitting an aircraft factory and dockyard in Kobe, about 300 miles southwest of Tokyo. Now Saylor’s job was to make sure his plane would be in flying condition. As he pulled out his dipstick, two horseshoe-shaped hunks of metal were stuck to the magnetized end. Saylor recognized them immediately as keys from the planetary gear drive system. This was bad news: the keys kept the gears on the driveshaft. Without them, the gears could slide out of place and destroy the engine. “(My plane) came very close to being pushed over the side,� Saylor said. Doolittle had originally prepared 24 planes and crews in the run-up to his mission but the USS Hornet had nowhere near the deck space to hold them all. As some of his arriving volunteers would quickly learn, he was willing to scrub any man or vehicle that didn’t meet his exacting standards. He had come this far, and he wasn’t about to undo months of planning and preparation by flying into Japanese territory on subpar planes. Several with only a hint of trouble [ RAID page 22 ]

[22] April 19, 2013 [ RAID from page 18] had been cut at McClellan. It wouldn’t be out of character for the colonel to give TNT a burial at sea; indeed, he told Saylor the plane could either be fixed or pushed overboard. Saylor was cautiously optimistic about his prospects. First, the engineers didn’t go that deep into the engine during training, he said. Second, the plane was too large to be moved down to the hangar deck. The engine would have to be removed up top, at the mercy of wind and sea. Third, he had never done anything like this before. “You couldn’t lay anything down on the deck,� he said. “Not a tool. Not a part. It would go right overboard. “I had to put everything inside the airplane — then (when we reinstalled the engine) I had to figure out where I put everything or what it was. But I got away with it.� With great effort, it was done. The Hornet’s machine shop was able to discern that the keys that had come off didn’t have enough clearance inside the engine.
They knurled them down to fit and the reassembled machine was reinstalled in the plane. TNT, “Democracy’s Ace in the Hole,� was saved.
The Raiders, none of whom had flown from a carrier before, took off immediately. They had trained to catch air within 500 feet on the assumption that it would be a challenge for a big plane on a short runway. But of all the misfortunes that had already occurred and were yet to come, a rough takeoff wasn’t one of them, thanks to a strong headwind. Now came the hard part. They were already further out than planned and the same headwind that put them in the air safely was working against them, slowing them down and gulping up precious fuel. The covert nature of the operation meant each plane was entirely alone: no formation and total radio silence. The only thing guiding them was a magnetic compass. TNT had left its navigation officer behind to make room for flight surgeon Lt. Thomas Robert White. “We’re approaching Japan and we can see a bunch of navy ships all over the coast — and we can see people walking around on
EARLY TAKEOFF “The rest of the trip was pretty uneventful until we were 800 miles out from Japan and we were spotted,� Saylor said. The Japanese picket boat No. 23 Nitto Maru spotted the USS Hornet at 7:38 a.m. April 18. The escort cruiser USS Nashville was able to sink it, but not before it had radioed the mainland. This turn of events forced the Raiders’ hand. “So the Japanese knew we were coming,� Saylor said. “That information wasn’t available to us at that moment, but we knew that they knew we were coming. But we were 400 miles too far out. We were supposed to take off 400 miles from Tokyo. Our original plan was to take off at dusk, bomb the targets, get to the Chinese airfield at dawn and gas up. We didn’t get to do it that way, because we couldn’t.�
the decks,� Saylor said. “We were at 1,500 feet and they all ignored us. And the reason was that the Japanese hierarchy didn’t do much to get ready for us, so nobody knew we were coming except them. And they made a couple mistakes. They thought they knew every plane we had that could operate off a carrier, and that we would have to make it within 200 miles of Tokyo to make it back to the carrier. And, plus the fact they didn’t think they could be hit anyway. That was their mindset. The surprise element saved us.� Saylor fully expected to be shot down and die on the mission, he said. Any one of the coastal ships could have shot them down cold. That didn’t happen. Guided by the 20-cent “Mark Twain� bomb sight — two strips of aluminum meant to replace a secret state-of-the-art sight intended for high altitude missions — they hit their targets and pushed on without damage. Success didn’t relieve the crew’s expectation of death. The Imperial navy may not

have downed their craft, but the headwind still had a clear shot. Luck was on their side. The headwind turned into a tailwind, pushing them onward.
DITCHED TO SEA The wind brought TNT closer to the Chinese mainland than Saylor — perhaps any of the crew — had imagined. Pilot Lt. Donald Smith could see the coastal mountains outside his windshield. He attempted to gain altitude, but fuel was dangerously low. They wouldn’t make it. Smith dropped the plane, ditching into the East China Sea less than half a klick (kilometer) away from the Tantou Mountain Island. “Somehow, I didn’t panic,� Saylor said. “It was a good spot to be panicking, but I got out all right. “I got into the China Sea and kind of floundered around, because I didn’t know how to swim. People ask me what the first thing was I did when I got back, and I tell them, ‘the first thing I done is learn how to swim.’� The crew made it to the shore of Tantou. They lost
track of Dr. White, who had wandered off on his own in a desperate bid to find the medicine box he lost at sea. Imperial forces were in hot pursuit, raiding the island during the day and patrolling in gunboats at night. Civilian friendlies found them first, helping them get off the island disguised as fishermen. “We thought we had made it to the mainland, but it turned out we were just on another island,� Saylor said with a chuckle, as if he still couldn’t believe their bad luck. They trekked up to a Buddhist temple, where a man inside told them Japanese military were combing the islands for their attackers. In their efforts to get off the second island, Saylor came within mere feet of being found by his pursuers; he recalled squatting in a cave and watching Imperial boots walk by through a crack in the wall. Finally en route to the mainland, the crew learned plane No. 7, “The Ruptured Duck,� had suffered a rough beachside landing, throwing its crew clear from the

XXX DPWJOHUPOSFQPSUFS DPN t XXX NBQMFWBMMFZSFQPSUFS DPN [ RAID from page 22] ing its crew clear from the point of impact. They had been taken in for care by nearby civilians, but four of the five had to be rushed to Linhai Enze Medical Bureau for serious injuries. As the only flight surgeon among the Raiders, and being fortunately close to the hospital, White knew he was obligated to assist. By the time they arrived at the hospital, pilot Lt. Ted Lawson had a life-threatening infection in his knee, Saylor said. White assisted Dr. Chen Shenyan in amputating the leg. Lawson would survive and go on to write his memoir “Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo,� which would be adapted to film two years later. “He had very little anesthesia — just a little bit of morphine — and by the time the surgery was almost done, he was waking up,� Saylor said. “And he kind of knew what was going on, but they were sewing him up. He needed a transfusion and the only person who had his kind of blood was
our copilot.� Without proper transfusion equipment, the doctor used his syringe to administer the blood shot-by-shot.
HOMEWARD BOUND After the doctor’s work was done, it was time to get to the business of returning home. Saylor’s crew was still well away from the extraction point. The problem was transportation. There were no buses, trains or even roads. So they walked, hoping for some stroke of good fortune. Luck came on the trail up to the mountains in the form of a Chinese teenager, name unknown, recently orphaned by bombings in Shanghai. “He spoke a little English, and he stayed with us for the rest of our trip across China,� Saylor said. “He became our navigator, our interpreter and our food scrounger. We owed him big time.� With his help, they made it to a broken down bus that gave them harbor, as long as they were willing to push
it up hills. The Japanese were still in pursuit and executing retaliatory attacks on Chinese soil. At one point, Saylor recalled, a bomber took out an identical bus just a short distance ahead of them — the second to last close call of the mission. The last came while they were taking shelter in a pagoda that gave them a clear view of bombings on a nearby city. “One day, we decided we better not stay in this pagoda anymore, because we figured they’d find us,� Saylor said. These were violent times for Chinese civilians, and they knew some civilians would be willing to sell them out in exchange for their safety. “So we stopped going to that pagoda, and the next day they bombed it. We got out of there just in time.� The situation had degraded to the point that there was no hope for an air extraction from China. They hitchhiked across the country, through India and then to West Africa. Finally, in Africa, they
made contact with the Navy and were able to arrange a flight across the Atlantic. There was one problem: they had one too many passengers. The crew of the TNT attempted to bring their teenaged guide with them on the plane, hoping to bring the boy who ensured their survival back to the States. But they were told it just couldn’t be allowed. He was left behind on the tarmac.
AFTERMATH Saylor’s wife finally found out about her husband’s mission, but not from his own mouth. She was taking in a movie when the newsreel showed him receiving
April 19 2013 [23] a medal from Madame Chiang Kai Shek. She had a few adventures of her own during his absence. One of Saylor’s favorite stories involved her deciding to meet his family in Montana. She sent out a telegram ahead and immediately departed. When she arrived in the closest accessible town, she hitched a ride to the ranch. She was confused to find nobody knew who she was. But they put her up, and the next time the mail arrived, there was her telegram; she had arrived ahead of it. Saylor himself went on to a 28-year career with the Air Corps and its successor, the Air Force. He served in Europe during the remain-
der of the war, and admitted he felt a little awed by the continued heroism of the Army GI’s. As it would turn out, Saylor’s emergency engine work on the TNT would be his first step in a reputation for never grounding a plane for mechanical failure. He retired in 1967, having achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel. Wednesday was bittersweet for Saylor and his fellow surviving Raiders. Every year, they have met during the anniversary of the raid for a reunion. Last year, with only a handful left, they decided to make 2013 the end. They meet in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., through Saturday.
Community News and Notes MAPLE VALLEY FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY PROPOSES CONTINGENCY PLAN Fire Chief Brad Doerflinger presented a contingency plan to the Board of Fire Commissioners for Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety. If efforts to pass a maintenance and operations levy fail in April the district will have to make additional cuts. The plan includes issuing layoff notices in late 2013 to six additional Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technicians, temporarily closing a fire station, and keeping a medical aid car out of service. These six positions are in addition to the five the fire department has already lost since 2009. Fire department officials estimate that this will increase emergency response times between two to five
minutes depending on where someone lives in the district. Chief Doerflinger is frustrated with the additional layoffs, but acknowledges there is little that can be done. “The only place we have left to cut is emergency personnel,� he said. “But laying off another six firefighters when we’re already down five positions is a formula for disaster.� Maple Valley Fire and Life Safety is proposing a temporary, three year levy for $1.5 million on the April Special Election ballot. Ballots must be postmarked by April 23. Residents with questions about the levy are encouraged to contact Chief Doerflinger personally at chief@ maplevalleyfire.org or 425-432-0200.
