Eatonville duo wins Washington State High School Bass Fishing Championship
By Skip Smith Contributing Writer
Two Eatonville High School anglers are reeling in a major accomplishment after winning the Washington State High School Bass Fishing Championship at Moses Lake on Saturday, Aug. 9.
Callie Mohler, a junior, and Easton Wolfe, 14, who will be a freshman this fall, captured the state title with a threefish limit weighing 13.45 pounds. Their victory earns them a spot in the High School National Championship next June.
The win also marks the second time in three years that Eatonville has produced state champions since the program began in 2023. In that year, Jaiden Sobczyk and Will McEver brought home the title.
“It feels amazing to win the state title,” Mohler said. “It’s something I’ve been working toward since joining the fishing team.”
Second place went to Andrew Gonzales and Connor Selby with a total weight of 11.62 pounds.
For Wolfe, the victory still feels surreal.
“It’s exciting, it was like I was in a dream,” he said. “I didn’t have a strategy, I just went into the tournament wanting to have fun.”
The tournament format allowed each team to bring in a maximum of three fish for the weigh-in. Wolfe’s largest fish of the day was 3.93 pounds, while Mohler brought in the team’s biggest catch, a 5.24-pound largemouth bass, which was just shy of the big fish of the day that was 5.31 pounds.
Mohler credited her success to using a Berkley Choppo lure, while Wolfe kept his top bait a secret. “A fisherman never tells,” Wolfe said with a smile.
Both anglers pointed to strong support systems that have helped them along the way. Wolfe said his fishing partner

FIND IT FAST SERVICE DIRECTORY
by Jim Miller
What’s the best way to find a good handyman or tradesman that can help with small jobs around the house? Almost 75
ear Almost, It’s a great question. Finding a good home repair/handyman can be a bit of a crapshoot. How do you find someone who will return your calls or texts, show up on time, do the job right and finish it, all at a fair price? Here are a few tips and resources that can help you search.
KIND OF HELP
WHAT
While it may seem obvious, whom you call on for help will depend on what you need done. If, for example, you have an odd job or small home repair project that doesn’t require a lot of technical expertise, a handyperson may be all you need. But if you have a job that involves electricity, plumbing, or heating or cooling systems, you’re better off going with a licensed tradesman. Bigger jobs like home renovations or remodeling may require a general contractor.
WHERE TO FIND A PRO
Whatever type of work you need, the best way to find
it is through referrals from people you trust. If your friends or family don’t have any recommendations turn to professionals in the field like local hardware or home improvement stores, or even real estate agents.
If you don’t have any luck here, there are a number of online resources you can turn to that can quickly connect you to a wide variety of skilled workers in your area.
If you need someone for a home chore or small job, a popular option is Taskrabbit (taskrabbit.com), which lists thousands of freelance workers (called Taskers) that have undergone background checks. Here you can get help with things like furniture assembly; lifting or moving heavy items; mounting or hanging TVs, shelfs or pictures; minor home repairs; cleaning services; yard work and more. Taskers set their own hourly rates, which are displayed on their
website before you book. Some other good options for locating handypeople are fix-it franchises like Ace Handyman (acehandymanservices.com) and Mr. Handyman (mrhandyman. com). These companies vet and insure their staff, but they may be more expensive than Taskrabbit. Or, if you use social networking sites, you could also post a request for a handyperson in your Facebook group or on Nextdoor (nextdoor.com).
If, however, you’re in the market for specialist like a plumber, electrician, painter, roofer or carpenter as well as a handyperson, try Angi (angi.com). They too, vet their independent contractors, and will let you request quotes from several candidates.
Thumbtack (thumbtack.com) is another good resource that’s similar to

County marks Emergency Management Awareness Month
When disaster strikes, the Pierce County Department of Emergency Management (PCDEM) staff are in motion. Operating behind the scenes, they are the 24/7/365 problem solvers – coordinating across agencies, services, and disciplines to protect communities and organizations. From natural disasters to complex crises, PCDEM is helping others navigate the unknown.
August is Emergency Management Awareness Month, a time to recognize the critical work of these professionals and raise awareness about their role in keeping communities safe and resilient.
“As we all know, living in the Pacific Northwest, disasters don’t follow a schedule. Our emergency management professionals are ready, whether it’s extreme weather, a wildfire, a cyberattack, or an unforeseen emergency. These professionals protect the community when chaos threatens,” said Council Vice Chair Paul Herrera, who also serves as Chair of the Public Safety Committee.
Emergency management staff work with
a variety of partners, including nonprofits, schools, businesses, hospitals, universities, law enforcement, utilities, fire departments, and public transit agencies. Many of these organizations have their own emergency management professionals. All are focused on helping their organizations identify vulnerabilities, reduce risks, and strengthen resilience.
This August, the Council encourages everyone to recognize the work of local emergency managers. Take time to review your emergency plans, create an emergency kit, sign up for Pierce County ALERT at piercecountywa.gov/917/Alert-Warning, and thank the professionals who keep us moving forward in the chaos.
PCALERT is a free system that allows you to sign up and receive notifications about emergencies that may affect the locations that concern you. This service allows fire, police, and other agencies to send accurate and up-to-date information to residents.
Receive alerts on different devices including cell phones, home phones, email, and TTY. Choose up to five locations you want to be notified about such as your residence, workplace, children’s school and more.
The Pierce County Council unanimously adopted its budget priorities for the 2026-2027 biennium following a public hearing on Aug. 5.
Pierce County is facing significant uncertainties around the receipt of federal revenue and county government recognizes that state revenues are challenged by economic conditions, both of which potentially impact many county functions including substantial reductions in human services programs.
The county’s major sources of revenue are constrained and overall growth in revenues is expected to be subdued in the next biennium.
The council says it recognizes the impact of slow revenue growth, revenue uncertainty, and higher costs on Pierce County’s ability to provide efficient and effective services to its residents.
The biennial budget is Pierce County’s primary statement of its vision, strategy, and spending priorities for county government and is used to communicate these priorities with county residents, businesses, and other stakeholders. The council’s main budget priority is to maintain core functions of county government.
Resolution No. R2025-181 outlines the council’s fiscal priorities and serves as a guiding policy for resource allocation amid projected
declines in federal funding and slower local revenue growth. The council calls on the Pierce County Executive to incorporate these priorities into the upcoming biennial budget proposal, emphasizing the importance of maintaining essential government services and ensuring efficient countywide service delivery.
By identifying seven key areas of focus – including housing, public safety, and community building – the resolution provides a clear roadmap for budget development. It reflects the council’s commitment to addressing community needs while deploying limited resources in a strategic and responsible manner, including services mandated by law or voter approval, such as public safety and critical human services.
The council identified
Lawsuit claims Tacoma, Pierce County ran out the clock on $20 minimum wage measure
Tacoma, Pierce County and Pierce County Auditor Linda Farmer are being sued by United Food and Commercial Workers Local 367, Tacoma for All, and the Tacoma Democratic Socialists of America.
They allege in the lawsuit filed on Tuesday that the city and county did not act promptly to ensure a citizen's initiative, which aims to establish a "workers' bill of rights," appeared on the November ballot. The initiative seeks to raise the minimum wage to $20 and require advance notice for scheduling changes.
Specifically, the complaint alleges that Pierce County illegally delayed the verification of signatures for the ballot initiative, and then Tacoma used the delay to illegally run out the clock beyond the Aug. 5 deadline to place the measure on November's general election ballot.
Initiative 2 would increase Tacoma’s minimum wage from $16.66 to $20 per hour in a phased-in approach.
On Aug. 8, the Tacoma City Council unanimously voted to forward Initiative 2
to the city auditor rather than adopt it and put it on the November ballot. However, the council missed the Pierce County deadline to place the measure on the ballot by three days.
Prior to the council’s vote to send the measure to the auditor’s office, no one mentioned the missed deadline. Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards did say she had “deep concerns” about the specific implications of the resolution, including legal complexities and potential impacts that the city council still does not completely understand. City leaders were given 30 days to review the ballot initiative.
“While we have an obligation to move this to the Auditor’s Office, I just have really deep concern about its passing and its unanticipated effects on all of those who live in this community,” Woodards said during the Tacoma City Council special meeting.
A grass roots campaign led by UFCW 367 submitted more than 10,000 Tacoma resident signatures to have the measure placed on the November ballot. According to the complaint, the county auditor did not begin validating the signatures until 13 days after
being first submitted. It then took two days to validate the petition signatures.
The Pierce County Superior Court is being asked to order the ballot initiative to be placed on the November ballot.
In a statement put out on Wednesday, UFCW 367 President Michael Hines alleged that local leaders are “openly colluding with big business to silence working people” by hiding behind technicalities.
This is also not the first time a citizen-led ballot measure has faced such hardships. In 2023, Tacoma placed a competitive ballot measure against Tacoma for All’s Landlord Fairness Code Initiative. However, the grassroots measure ultimately passed. The Citizen Action Defense Fund then filed a lawsuit against the city over the initiative, alleging that it violates the state and federal constitutions and all of its provisions and makes it more difficult for the city’s rental market to exist.
A ruling has yet to be made on the lawsuit.
A court review hearing for The United Food and Commercial Workers Local 367 vs. Pierce County is scheduled for Dec. 5.

seven key policy areas for focus: housing and homelessness, public safety, physical and behavioral health, education and workforce, economic growth and infrastructure, environment and climate, and community building.
Priority investments include sustaining housing support for vulnerable residents, meeting new legal standards for indigent defense, supporting violence prevention programs and staffing, maintaining food distribution programs, and continue hiring incentives for sheriff law enforcement and corrections officers.
Adopting preliminary budget priorities is one of the first public actions taken toward the council’s budget work for a new biennium. The council’s work on the 2026-27 Budget will begin in the fall.

Things to Know
Once you’ve located a few candidates, here are some steps you can take to protect your money and ensure you’re satisfied with the results. First, get a handwritten estimate or digital contract that list the tasks and the hourly rate or project fee.
Also, ask to see their proof of insurance, which covers any damages they may cause while working on your home, and ask for several references from past jobs.
You should also pay after the work is done, not before. But it’s not unusual to be asked for a small deposit for material costs upfront.
And if possible, you should pay with a credit card, because you can dispute the payment if something goes wrong with the job. Checks and electronic payments like PayPay, Venmo and Zelle don’t offer the same level of protection.

In case you missed it, on July 23, Pierce County, City of Tacoma, Washington State Department of Commerce and the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) celebrated the grand opening of a new tiny home village in South Tacoma that will offer 60 units of affordable housing to people experiencing homelessness and living near public rightsof-ways, like highways, on- or off-ramps, under bridges, and more.
“Projects like Kingfisher Village are helping hundreds of people in our county transition out of homelessness.
Tiny homes work,” said Pierce County Executive Ryan Mello.
“Residents have access to 24/7 supportive services like case management, health care, employment, and more. The data is clear that the combination of a safe place to call home and services to help people heal is

helping people on their path to self-sufficiency.”
Mello is dedicated to creating housing solutions that work for everyone. By collaborating with state and local partners and using new tax revenue strategically, Pierce County is making headway to ensure everyone has a place to call home.
For example, in 2023 Mello led the effort in the Pierce County Council to pass the Maureen Howard Affordable Housing Act, implementing a one-tenth of 1% Housing and Related Services sales tax. The Act has since raised more than $23 million and helped to develop almost 1,000 units

This property will eventually become permanent support housing for low-income families. More recent projects and legislation to make housing possible include Shiloh New Life Apartments with 60 affordable units for low-income households and people experiencing homelessness; Patsy Suhr Place with 70 affordable units for older adults and veterans experiencing homelessness; and Land Use and Housing Code Changes (R2024-158s) that will expand supply of affordable housing in unincorporated Pierce County.

and his mother have been the biggest influences in his young career. Mohler named her parents, her Uncle Martin, and Randy Thompson as key supporters.
“This fishing season with the Washington State High School Bass Fishing Team was full of new learning experiences, from fishing with different captains to learning new fishing techniques,” Mohler said. “I had such an amazing season fishing with my partner Easton, and we were able to top off the season with a state championship. We were captained by Dylan Grad, who is a former member of the Washington State High School Bass Fishing Team and now a collegiate fisherman for Simpson University.”
When asked how he came to be their captain for the tournament, Grad said, “The tournament director Randy Thompson called me saying they were short captains and asked if I could help out and I wanted to help the kids out since I fished the high school tournaments once.” Grad also shared his
impression after watching Mohler and Wolfe fish.
“My impression of the two anglers was their motivation to do well in the tournament and learn. They’ve had a tough season from what I’ve heard and they were giving it their all in the state championship,” Grad said.
He added, “I just want to add how awesome of an opportunity the high school tournament league is. It really opens up doors for these kids to get into the sport and to potentially get college scholarships for it. Also how important it is us older anglers help these younger kids out by captaining them.”
The pair is already looking ahead to their next challenge, competing against the nation’s best next summer.
“After state, I’m going to be practicing and hopefully go fish in nationals,” Mohler said.
Wolfe has a similar plan.
“Just to keep fishing, keep getting better,” he said.
With their shared passion and proven teamwork, the Eatonville anglers hope their next big catch will come on the national stage.
County Executive Ryan Mello said tiny homes work to help people secure self-sufficiency.

Paul Titus Carousel wins national spotlight
By The Tacoma Weekly
The Paul Titus Carousel at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium has received national acclaim more than a hundred years after its very first twirl. Named one of USA Today’s Top 10 Most Unique Carousels in the U.S., this beautifully restored ride captures the hearts of visitors and offers a nostalgic glimpse into history.
Situated just beyond the entrance gates of the zoo, the carousel invites guests of all ages to take a magical ride. With nearly three dozen hand-carved animals, the carousel is a colorful collection of imagination and artistry. Riders can choose from a wide array of whimsical figures, including a tapir, walrus, tiger, polar bear, zebra, pig, and horses, as well as some fun surprises like a brightly painted Northwest slug. Cozy sleds and wheelchair-accessible chariots make the ride inclusive for everyone, regardless of mobility.
But the Paul Titus Carousel is more than just a fun attraction – it’s a living piece of American history. Originally crafted in 1917 by renowned carousel maker C.W. Parker, this two-row wooden carousel once traveled from fair to fair throughout the Midwest. For decades, it brought joy to families across the country. However, by the 1990s, the carousel had fallen into disrepair. Its vibrant paint was faded, the animals had disappeared, and only the skeleton of its frame remained. Eventually, it was discovered in a Montana antique shop, silent and forgotten.
That changed when Keith Stone, a Tacoma businessman, recognized its potential. He envisioned something more than an old, broken ride. He saw the possibility of restoration and renewal. Stone generously donated the carousel to the Washington Antique Carousel Society and Friends, sparking a years-long labor of love and dedication.
Volunteers from the community came together to restore the carousel to its former glory. They repaired its structure, carved new
animals by hand, and meticulously restored every mural, mirror, and painted panel.
In honor of his contributions to the local community and the zoo, the carousel was named after Paul Titus, a well-known Tacoma auto broker and a former board member of The Zoo Society. Following his passing, Titus’s widow stepped in to support the project by donating a large portion of the $1.4 million needed to complete the restoration. Her generosity helped ensure that her husband’s name would live on in a place of joy and celebration.
The project was also championed by The Zoo Society, a nonprofit organization that raises funds to support Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium. The organization led the fundraising campaign for both the carousel and the specially designed pavilion that now shelters it from the elements. In 2006, after years of careful work, the carousel officially reopened at its new permanent home at the Zoo.
Today, the Paul Titus Carousel continues to delight visitors, offering a ride that is both entertaining and meaningful. It stands as a testament to community spirit, historical preservation, and the power of imagination. The lovingly restored animals spin in time with joyful music, carrying children and adults alike on a journey through wonder and nostalgia.
Tickets for the carousel are priced at $4 per ride, or $2 for Zoo members, and the attraction operates during the zoo’s regular business hours. For safety reasons, children must be at least 42 inches tall to ride alone.
Whether you're visiting the zoo for the animals or the gardens, the Paul Titus Carousel is a can’t-miss experience. It offers not just a fun ride, but a moment to reflect on how community, history, and artistry can come together to create something truly magical.
