Osborn, Kralik Lead Cruisers to Key Home Win Over Foss
By Skip Smith
After a tough 7 game stretch, the Cruisers snapped their 7 game skid with an exciting win on Friday night over the Foss Falcons.
Eatonville picked up the much needed victory on Jan. 23 at home, holding off Foss 55-52 after dropping the first meeting between the teams earlier this season, 55-39.
The Cruisers got off to an energetic start behind Sam Kralik, who made his first varsity start. Kralik opened the scoring with a drive to the basket and later added another on a similar move to give Eatonville an early 4-2 lead. The teams traded runs through the rest of the quarter, with Eatonville briefly leading 11-9 on a Jake Brannon short jumper. Foss closed the opening period with a pair of three pointers to take a 15-11 lead. Kralik’s four points paced the Cruisers in the first.
The second quarter featured steady back and forth play
as Eatonville slowly chipped away at the Falcon lead. The Cruisers scored one more point than Foss in the period but still trailed 28-25 at halftime. Jeremy Osborn, Nash Sherrard and Kralik each scored three points in the quarter. Foss pushed its lead to five early in the third before Eatonville responded with a 4-0 run to make it 32-31. After a pair of Falcon free throws, the Cruisers surged ahead with a 5-0 run to take a 36-34 lead. Foss answered back and went up 41-38 late in the quarter, but senior Colton Herbrand changed the momentum. Returning after missing the previous game and the first half while recovering from illness, Herbrand came up with a steal and drove for a layup to cut the deficit to one. He then knocked down two three pointers in the final seconds as Eatonville closed the quarter on a 6-0 run to lead 4440. Herbrand scored all eight of his points in the period.

Thousands of Washingtonians Sign-in for Public Hearings on ICE-Related Proposals
by Tim Clouser
The Center Square
Several proposals aimed at limiting cooperation with federal immigration enforcement received hearings this week, following Gov. Bob Ferguson’s public support for a related ban on law enforcement wearing masks during public interactions.
While Ferguson did not include immigration-related legislation among his six priority requests for 2025, he has voiced support for bills intended to counter President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. Democrats argue the measures would protect immigrant communities and address privacy concerns, while Republicans warn they undermine federal authority and could prompt legal challenges.
If approved, some proposals are expected to face lawsuits from the Trump administration, which has frequently gone to court with states resisting federal immigration enforcement. A handful of the bills have also drawn bipartisan attention for addressing privacy and civil liberties, though concerns remain among minority-party lawmakers.
SENATE BILL 5852: IMMIGRANT WORKER
PROTECTION ACT
Senate Bill 5852, requested by the Washington State Office of the Attorney
General and sponsored by more than a dozen Democrats, would require employers to notify current and former employees from the past three years by mail when federal officials request employment records. The bill would also prohibit employers from granting access to worker records without a subpoena or warrant.
Supporters say the bill would provide advance notice of potential immigration enforcement actions, while critics argue it creates costly mandates for employers and could allow workers to evade enforcement.
“The I-9 process is there to make sure employees are eligible to work,” testified Christian Bianes-Delrosario. “Advance notice gives those who are ineligible a clear opportunity to evade lawful enforcement.”
Attorney General staff confirmed during the hearing that only two I-9 audits in the state have led directly to immigration enforcement.
Business groups, including the Washington Association of Counties and the Washington Hospitality Association, opposed the bill, citing administrative burdens and potential liability.
The League of Women Voters of Washington and several civil rights organizations testified in support. About 1,340 people signed in ahead of the Senate Labor & Commerce Committee hearing, with 922 supporting the bill and 413 opposed.
SENATE BILL 5906: RESTRICTING ICE ACCESS TO “NONPUBLIC” SPACES
Another proposal, Senate Bill 5906, would require schools, daycares, health care facilities, universities, and election offices to designate certain areas as “nonpublic,” preventing federal immigration agents from entering without a warrant or court order.
“This legislation does not prohibit immigration enforcement,” said Giovanni Severino of the Latino Community Fund. “It establishes constitutionally grounded standards for where and how enforcement can occur.”
The bill would also prohibit schools and daycares from collecting immigration status information, expanding on the state’s Keep Washington Working Act, which already limits such data collection by law enforcement.
Republican lawmakers questioned whether the bill was necessary, noting limited evidence of immigration enforcement actions in schools or childcare facilities.
Nearly 6,000 people signed in for the Senate Law & Justice Committee hearing, PUBLIC HEARINGS, 3

Savvy Senior: How To Turn Down the Volume on Tinnitus
By Jim Miller
Dear
OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL CATHOLIC CHURCH 253-875-6630 229 Antonie Ave. N. Eatonville,
Senior, What treatments are recommended to help with tinnitus? I started noticing a subtle ringing in my ears about 10 years ago, but it’s gotten much more bothersome since I turned 60.
—Ringing Ronnie
Dear Ronnie,
Tinnitus is actually one of the most common health conditions in the country. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders around 10 percent of the U.S. adult population – over 25 million Americans – experience some form of tinnitus.
For most people tinnitus is merely annoying, but roughly 5 million people struggle with chronic tinnitus and 2 million find it debilitating.
While there’s no cure, there are a range of different strategies you can employ to reduce the symptoms to make it less bothersome. Here’s what you should know.
WHAT IS TINNITUS?
Tinnitus (pronounced TIN-a-tus or tin-NIGHT-us) is the sensation of hearing a ringing, buzzing, roaring, hissing or whistling sound in one or both ears when no external sound is present.
The sounds, which can vary in pitch and loudness, are usually worse when background noise is low, so you may be more aware of it at night when you’re trying to fall asleep in a quiet room.
Tinnitus itself is not a disease, but rather a symptom of some other underlying health condition. The best way to find out what’s causing your tinnitus is to see an audiologist, or an otolaryngologist – a doctor who specializes in ear, nose and throat diseases (commonly called an ENT). The various things that can cause tinnitus are:
• Hearing loss, which is the most common cause.
• Middle ear obstructions usually caused by a build-up of earwax deep in the ear canal.
Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, otosclerosis, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a tumor, an injury to the head or neck, traumatic brain injury, depression, stress and more.
TREATMENT STRATEGIES
There are many ways to treat tinnitus depending on the cause. For example, if your tinnitus is caused by a wax buildup in your ears or a medical condition like high blood pressure or a thyroid problem, treating the problem may reduce or eliminate the noise.
Or, if you’re taking a medication that’s causing the problem, switching to a different drug or lowering the dosage may provide some relief. If you have hearing loss, getting a hearing aid can help mask your tinnitus by improving your ability to hear actual sounds.
Another strategy that can help suppress or mask the sound so it’s less bothersome is “sound therapy.” This can be as simple as a fan or white noise machine, or you can use sound therapy apps like ReSound Tinnitus Relief, myNoise or NatureSpace.
Cognitive behavioral therapy and psychological counseling can also be helpful, as can tinnitus retraining therapy (TNT). This combines counseling and sound therapy to train your brain to ignore the sound in your ears. The new MindEar app offers TNT.
There are even new innovations like the FDA approved device Lenire (lenire. com) that uses electrical stimulation of the tongue to alleviate symptoms. There are also certain medications that may help. While there’s no FDA approved drugs specifically designed to treat tinnitus, some antianxiety drugs and antidepressants have been effective in relieving symptoms.
Your audiologist or ENT can help you figure out the best treatment options. Other things you can do to help quiet the noise is to avoid things that can aggravate the problem like fatty foods, salt, artificial sweeteners, sugar, alcohol, tonic water, tobacco and caffeine. Also be sure to drink plenty of water as dehydration can worsen symptoms. And protect yourself from loud noises by wearing earplugs.
• Side effects of many different prescription and over-the-counter medicines like aspirin, ibuprofen, certain blood pressure medicines and diuretics, some antidepressants, cancer medicines and antibiotics.
• Various medical conditions such as high blood pressure, vascular disease, diabetes, allergies, thyroid problems, ear or sinus infections, Meniere’s disease,

Notes from Eatonville Town Council Meeting
January 26 th 2026
The Eatonville Town Council met Monday, January 26, to take action on updated building codes, approve an agreement supporting local energyefficiency programs, and receive the Planning Commission’s annual report.
COUNCIL ADOPTS UPDATED BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES
The council approved Ordinance 2026-1, formally updating Eatonville’s building and safety codes to align with the most current versions adopted by the Washington State Building Code Council.
The ordinance repeals and reenacts Eatonville Municipal Code Section 16.08.010 and adopts updated building, residential, mechanical, plumbing, fire, and energy codes, along with the Uniform Plumbing Code, as required under state law.
COUNCIL EXTENDS ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM AGREEMENT
The council approved Resolution 2026-G, authorizing the mayor to execute an addendum extending Eatonville’s Commercial and Residential Energy Efficiency Program agreement with Evergreen Consulting Group I, LLC.
CRUISERS, from page 1
Eatonville took control early in the fourth, opening with an 8-1 run fueled by a pair of Osborn three pointers to build an 11 point lead. Foss responded with an 8-0 run to pull within three, 52-49. Osborn hit two free throws to push the lead back to five before Foss drilled a three pointer with 10 seconds remaining to make it 54-52. After a timeout, the Falcons fouled Kralik following the inbounds. Kralik hit the back end of two free throws to extend the lead to three. Foss got a clean look at a tying three with 7.8 seconds left, but the shot rimmed out and Sherrard secured the rebound to seal the win. Osborn led all scorers with 18 points, including 14 in the second half and eight in the fourth quarter. Kralik finished with a career high 10 points and five rebounds. Herbrand added eight points off the bench, all in the third quarter. Sam Twedt chipped in six points, five rebounds and three steals.
Ryder Herbrand had eight rebounds and five points, while Brannon added five points and seven boards. Head coach Josh Bennett credited the atmosphere and his team’s preparation.
The addendum extends the agreement through December 31, 2026, and renews the program budget for 2026 using available energy-efficiency funds received from the Bonneville Power Administration. The agreement is intended to help local businesses and residents access energyefficiency assistance and reduce electrical costs.
PLANNING COMMISSION PRESENTS 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
The Planning Commission presented its 2025 annual report, summarizing code work and landuse actions taken over the past year.
The commission forwarded several code amendments to the council, including changes to parking requirements for low-income senior housing, airport code updates, and revisions to the appeals process. The commission also held public hearings and approved conditional use permits for an RV park, Eatonville School District track and field facilities, and Out & About Burgers. Additional hearings resulted in approval of the Streambank Armory project permit and several variances, including 750 Wild Rose and 850 Eatonville Highway. The commission also held a public hearing on the Eatonville West rezone and forwarded the matter to the council.
“What an amazing Friday night of hoops in our gym,” Bennett said. “I have to first give a huge shout out to the Eatonville Community for showing up. Our fans are so special and make our home games easily the greatest atmosphere in our league.
From the student section, to the parents, to the community members, thank you for all the support.”
“Coming out with a win was so special for our kids,” he added. “Our process and preparation allowed us to get this win together as a team. We had an unbelievable day of practice the day before and the guys were fully bought in. They executed our plan perfectly and I am beyond proud of them.”
“Our offense was flowing, and we were talking on defense. Those two things alone will keep you in games,”
Bennett said. “Everybody stepped up. They played so hard and there were so many moments in this game that were special moments. Our coaching staff talked after the game and we were in such awe that we were able to be in the gym with this team for those moments. They are an awesome group of kids.”
Earlier in the week, Eatonville struggled on Jan.
Pierce County Exceeds Goal in 100-Day Challenge to Prevent Youth Homelessness
Pierce County has surpassed its goal in a 100Day Challenge aimed at preventing homelessness among young adults, helping 171 young people remain housed in just over three months. The total exceeded the county’s original target of 113 and highlights the impact of rapid, prevention-focused intervention.
Youth and young adult homelessness carries serious and long-lasting consequences. Young people who experience housing instability are more likely to face disruptions in education, mental and physical health challenges, involvement with the justice system, and long-term economic insecurity. County officials emphasize that preventing homelessness before it occurs is one of the most effective strategies for protecting young people’s well-being while also reducing strain on emergency
20 in a home loss to Orting, falling 70-36. The Cardinals had also won the previous meeting 52-28.
Orting seized control early, opening the game on an 8-0 run. The Cardinals forced seven Eatonville turnovers in the first quarter and limited the Cruisers to six points, all by Ryder Herbrand, to lead 14-6 after one.
The second quarter followed a similar script.
Orting opened with another 8-0 run as Eatonville’s offense sputtered. Osborn scored five points and Kralik added two, but the Cardinals closed the half on a 9-0 run to take a 37-13 lead at the break.
Eatonville showed more life offensively in the third, scoring 12 points after managing just 13 in the entire first half. Following an early Orting basket, the Cruisers went on a 6-0 run to cut into the lead. The Cardinals regained control late, closing the quarter on a 13-2 run to lead 58-25. Ryder Herbrand scored four points in the period, while Sam Twedt and Kralik added three each.
The teams played an even fourth quarter, with Orting outscoring Eatonville 12-11 to close out the game.
and social service systems.
The 100-Day Challenge ran from Sept. 29, 2025, through Jan. 16, 2026, and brought together Pierce County Human Services, community-based service providers, and youth with lived experience. The initiative focused on testing rapid solutions to housing instability, prioritizing early intervention, real-time problem solving, and collaboration among frontline workers.
“This is what progress looks like when we lead with urgency and partnership,” Pierce County Executive Ryan Mello said. “Preventing homelessness, especially for young people, can change life trajectories. These results show what’s possible when we invest early, work across systems, and listen to those closest to the problem.”
Pierce County is among the first jurisdictions in the nation to participate simultaneously in the U.S. Department of Housing
Osborn scored five points in the final period, while Kralik added four.
Osborn led Eatonville with 11 points. Ryder Herbrand finished with 10 points, five rebounds and three blocked shots. Kralik posted a career high eight points and eight rebounds.
Bennett pointed to Orting’s physicality as a major factor.
“Orting has their identity,” he said. “They are super physical and they have great size. They are a tough matchup for us, and if you are not keeping them off the glass it’s a tough night for anyone.”
Despite the loss, Bennett was encouraged by the experience gained.
“Super proud of our team,” he said. “A lot of guys stepped up and played some very meaningful varsity minutes this game. Grateful, and excited to see what this group can do the rest of the season.”
Eatonville returns home this week with two more 2A SPSL League games at Rainier Connect Arena. The Cruisers host the Washington Patriots on Tuesday, Jan. 27, and the Steilacoom Sentinels on Friday, Jan. 30. Both games tip off at 7 p.m.
and Urban Development’s 100Day Challenge and the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program. County leaders say that dual participation helped create a stronger foundation for coordinated and prevention-focused approaches tailored to local needs. With the challenge phase complete, Pierce County and its partners are moving into a sustaining phase. This next step will focus on strengthening policies, systems, and funding strategies to maintain progress and continue reducing youth homelessness countywide.
Officials say the results demonstrate that short-term, focused efforts can produce meaningful outcomes when combined with strong partnerships and a commitment to prevention. The county plans to build on the momentum from the challenge as it works toward long-term solutions for youth and young adult housing stability.
PUBLIC HEARINGS, from page 1
with more than 3,700 supporting the bill and about 2,150 opposed. No one testified against the bill in person.
SENATE BILL 6002 AND HOUSE BILL 2332: ALPR AND PRIVACY
Senate Bill 6002 and House Bill 2332 address privacy concerns related to automated license plate recognition (ALPR) cameras, commonly known as Flock cameras. The bills would prohibit the use of ALPR data for immigration enforcement and ban cameras near immigration facilities.
The proposals also reduce data retention from the typical 30 days to 72 hours. Some law enforcement leaders testified as “other,” requesting longer retention periods for investigative purposes.
“This is not a partisan issue,” said Sen. Jeff Holy, R-Cheney. “It’s about whether people have a reasonable expectation of privacy when their movements are being tracked.”
Holy said he supports the privacy protections in SB 6002, noting that the bill does not expand immigration-related restrictions beyond existing law.
ADDITIONAL MEASURES
Senate Bill 6080 would prohibit cities and counties from holding federal detainees transported across state lines in local jails. It is scheduled for a public hearing in the Senate Human Services Committee. Meanwhile, much of the session’s focus has been on Senate Bill 5855, which would ban law enforcement officers from wearing masks while interacting with the public. The bill advanced out of committee last week and is expected to reach the Senate floor in the coming weeks.
“This conduct will undoubtedly be remembered as a shameful period in our nation’s history,” Ferguson told lawmakers. “Get that legislation to my desk immediately so I can sign it.”

Lady Cruisers End Skid Behind Green’s 16 Points, Lavergne’s 16 Rebounds
By Skip Smith
After a close heartbreaker against Orting on Tuesday, the Lady Cruisers snapped their 4 game skid with a dominate win on Friday night over the Foss Falcons.
Eatonville returned home Friday, Jan. 23, and looked every bit like a team ready to reset its season. Hosting Foss in a 2A SPSL League matchup, the Lady Cruisers controlled the game early and never let it slip, earning a 4331 win after also taking the earlier meeting between the teams 38-29.
Foss struck first with an early three pointer, but Eatonville answered right back with a three of its own to tie the game. The teams traded baskets through the opening minutes before Eatonville found its rhythm midway through the quarter. The Lady Cruisers went on a 7-2 run and then closed the period with a 5-0 spurt to open up a double digit lead. Josie Lavergne scored six points in the quarter as Eatonville took a 19-9 lead after one.
The momentum carried into the second quarter. Eatonville extended the closing run from the first into a 10-0 opening burst to start the period and quickly pushed the lead out of reach. Delaney Livernash knocked down a pair of three pointers and scored six points in the quarter, while Jordyn Green added five as the Lady Cruisers stretched their advantage to 20 by halftime. Eatonville led 34-14 at the break.
The third quarter saw Eatonville’s offense cool off. The Lady Cruisers scored just seven points in the period, five coming from Green, and Foss edged Eatonville 8-7 in the quarter. Still, the early work left Eatonville in full control heading into the fourth.
The final quarter was the coldest stretch of the night for the Cruisers. Eatonville managed only two points, both on Jordyn Green free throws, as Foss outscored them 9-2. The deficit from the first half proved too much for the Falcons to overcome, and Eatonville closed out the 43-31 victory.
Green led all scorers and recorded a double double with 16 points, 10 rebounds and three
steals. Morgan Laird finished with 10 points, five rebounds and three steals. Livernash hit three three pointers and ended with nine points, seven rebounds and a steal.
Lavergne was dominant on the glass, pulling down 16 rebounds to go with six points in the paint.
The win came just three days after Eatonville nearly erased a big deficit in a tough road loss at Orting on Tuesday, Jan. 20. The Cardinals had won the first meeting earlier in the season 39-37, and the rematch followed a similar script.
Eatonville scored first on a Sadie Mettler free throw, but Orting answered with back to back baskets to take a 4-1 lead. Two straight buckets from Lavergne gave the Cruisers a brief 5-4 edge before the Cardinals went on a 7-0 run to pull
ahead 11-5. A Jordyn Green three pointer in the closing seconds cut the margin to three, but Eatonville trailed 11-8 after one. Turnovers hurt the Cruisers early, commit-

ting nine in the quarter. Lavergne led Eatonville with four points, while Mettler grabbed seven of the team’s 13 rebounds.
In the second quarter, Eatonville briefly regained the lead when Lavergne hit two free throws at the 4:40 mark to make it 15-14. Orting
responded with a decisive run, closing the half on a 15-2 stretch that included three made three pointers. The Cardinals took a 2917 lead into halftime.
Orting opened the third quarter with a 5-0 run to push the lead to 34-17. Eatonville responded by forcing six Cardinal turnovers and slowly chipped away. The Cruisers cut the deficit to 12 by the end of the quarter, trailing 39-27.
Eatonville made its final push in the fourth. The Lady Cruisers opened the period with a 4-0 run to get within single digits. A 6-0 run midway through the quarter trimmed the lead to 42-37 with 3:36 remaining. With 2:10 left, Eatonville used another 4-0 run to pull within three at 44-41. Orting answered immediately with a three pointer to push the lead back to
six. Eatonville had chances in the final minute, but shots would not fall. The Cruisers outscored Orting 15-8 in the quarter but fell 47-42. Green led Eatonville with 12 points, nine rebounds and a couple of steals. Lavergne added 11 points, seven rebounds, a block and a steal. Laird scored six points and grabbed three rebounds. Livernash finished with seven points, four rebounds and two steals. Mettler led all players with 14 rebounds to go along with four points. Eatonville will be back on the road this week with two more league tests. The Lady Cruisers travel to face the Washington Patriots on Tuesday, Jan. 27, before heading to Steilacoom to take on the Sentinels on Friday, Jan. 30. Both games are scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m.
& SPORT FISHING BOAT SHOW
Eatonville sophomore Delaney Livernash knocks down one of her three triples on Friday night as the Cruisers defeated the Foss Falcons 43-31. Livernash scored all nine of her points from beyond the arc, providing a big spark in Eatonville’s rebound win.
