Cruisers Stumble in Season Opener

Fall to Cascade Christian 51-14

By Skip Smith

The Eatonville Cruisers’ seasonopener did not go as planned, as the Cascade Christian Cougars handed them a 51-14 loss Saturday evening at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner.

The Cougars struck first with a 1-yard touchdown run to take a 7-0 lead. Eatonville answered when quarterback Cole Fowler found a streaking Colton Herbrand for a 45-yard touchdown to even the score at 7-7.

Cascade Christian seized control from there, scoring on four of their next five possessions, including a safety to build a commanding 37-7 halftime lead.

The second half started no better for Eatonville, as the Cougars returned the kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown.

After the Cruisers turned the ball over on downs at midfield, Cascade Christian capitalized with another score, stretching the lead to 51-7.

Eatonville showed grit despite the deficit. Fowler connected with Amari Samuel on a 70-yard strike, and the speedy receiver outraced the defense for the Cruisers’ second touchdown of the night. That would be the final score, as neither team reached the end zone in the fourth quarter.

Head Coach Gavin Kralik, back at the helm this season, said he was encouraged by

his team’s response after the break. “We were proud of how our kids responded in the second half after the deficit we faced at halftime,” he said. “We are looking forward to another week of practice and the opportunity ahead of us next Friday against Black Hills.”

Fowler finished with 233 yards on 14-of-31 passing with two touchdowns and one interception. Samuel had three catches for 82 yards and a touchdown, while Herbrand added two receptions for 58 yards and a score.

The Cruisers will look to regroup when they travel to Tumwater District Stadium to face the Black Hills Wolves on Friday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m.

Cruiser Girls Show Fight in Season Opener but Fall Short Against Rochester

By Skip Smith

The Eatonville Cruiser girls’ soccer team kicked off their 2025 season at home on Friday, Sept. 5, hosting the Rochester Warriors at Eatonville Middle School. With renovations underway at Eatonville’s stadium, all Cruiser home matches will be played at the middle school this year.

The first half proved to be tightly contested, but Rochester broke through late with a long-range strike from 40 yards out that sailed over the Eatonville keeper, giving the Warriors a 1-0 lead heading into the break.

New Head Coach Michael Dieckman said his team responded well after halftime.

“We made adjustments at halftime and came out to dominate the second half, but we just couldn’t finish,” Dieckman explained.

The Cruisers nearly equalized when awarded a penalty kick, but the Rochester

goalkeeper came up with the save to preserve the Warriors’ lead. That stop ultimately sealed a 1-0 victory for Rochester.

Despite the result, Dieckman highlighted several strong performances in the season opener.

“Madi McChesney-Berube and Toryn Amaral played well on defense. Linnea Lofgren dominated the midfield, and Kalli Olson had multiple shots,” he said. “We have things to adjust, but I believe that we’re going to have a good season.”

Eatonville will look to bounce back on the road with a pair of contests. The Cruisers travel to Tenino on Tuesday, Sept. 9, for a 7 p.m. matchup against the Beavers, before opening 2A SPSL league play Thursday, Sept. 11, at Foss against the Falcons at 7 p.m.

Pierce County Surpasses 1,300 New Affordable Housing Units in Two Years

By Kari Moore Pierce County

The Pierce County Council approved $12.2 million to fund four housing projects that will create or preserve 646 units of affordable housing for individuals and families. The funding comes from tax generated by the Maureen Howard Affordable Housing Act, which has supported the creation, development, or preservation of 1,387 units of affordable housing in just over two years.

“When the Council passed the Maureen Howard Affordable Housing Act, we committed to creating a dedicated, sustainable source of funding to address one of Pierce County’s greatest needs. In just two years, this fund has generated tens of millions of dollars, turning ideas into real homes for families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities across our communities," said Council Chair Jani Hitchen (District 6).

“This is a model for what providing public, private, and partnered paths to safe, stable housing can look like.”

These new projects build on the success of previously funded developments, including Copper Way in Spanaway and Viridian Grove in Tacoma. The diversity of projects, from new construction of large family apartments to the preservation of existing housing and the creation of specialized homes, demonstrates the tax's flexibility in meeting a wide range of community needs.

“It is a testament to our County team and our housing partners that we have reached a milestone in creating more than 1,000 affordable housing units in two years since the Maureen Howard Affordable Housing Act was created," said County Executive Ryan N. Mello. “I’m grateful to everyone who has helped us reach this point, and I’m encouraged by the progress we are making to create housing people can afford.”

The following awarded projects will serve households across the county earning at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), which comes to $50,760 for

a household of one, $58,020 for a household of two, and $72,480 for a household of four: Cedar Flats (South Hill/Frederickson): $7,000,000 for the new construction of 276 family-sized units, with two- to four-bedroom apartments.

Chateau Rainier (Fife): $5,000,000 for the rehabilitation of 248 units, preserving affordability for households with extremely low income.

FFC Homes XIV (Buckley): $166,800 for the acquisition and rehabilitation of three group homes, providing nine units for residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Fairway at Dupont (Dupont): $69,752 for the new construction of 113 familysized affordable units near Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

The projects in Fife and Buckley have units set aside for households at 30% AMI, ensuring availability for residents earning annual incomes as low as $25,400.

Savvy Senior: How to Prevent Falls at Home

by Jim Miller

Dear Savvy Senior,

My 80-year-old father, who lives alone, has fallen several times over the past few months. Are there any tips or precautions you recommend that I can implement to help prevent this?

—Concerned Son

Dear Concerned, This is a common concern for millions of elderly seniors and their families. Each year more than 1-in-4 older Americans fall, making it the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries for those age 65 and older. But many falls can be prevented. Depending on what’s causing your dad to fall, here are some tips that can help keep him on his feet.

Get a vision and hearing test: Even small changes in sight and hearing can increase your dad’s risk of falling, so get his eyes checked every year to be sure his vison and eyeglasses (if used) are to up to par. Hearing loss can also double the risk of falling, so have your dad’s hearing checked too, and if he uses a hearing aid, be sure it fits well, and he wears it.

Fall-proof his home: There are a number of simple household modifications you can do to make your dad’s living area safer. Start by helping him arrange or move the furniture so there are clear pathways to walk through and pick-up items on the floor that could cause him to trip like newspapers, shoes, clothes, electrical or phone cords. If he has throw rugs, remove them or use double-sided tape to secure them.

In the bathroom buy some non-skid rugs for the floors and a rubber suction-grip mat or adhesive non-skid tape for the floor of the tub or shower, and have a carpenter install grab bars in and around the tub/shower for support.

Also, make sure the lighting throughout the house is good. Purchase some inexpensive plug-in nightlights for the bathrooms and hallways, and if he has stairs, put handrails on both sides.

For more tips, see the NIA “Preventing Falls at Home: Room by Room” web page at NIA.NIH.gov/health/fall-proofing-yourhome.

Get him exercising: Weak leg muscles and poor balance are two of the biggest risk factors that cause seniors to fall. Walking, strength training and tai chi are all good for improving balance and strength, as are a number of simple exercises your dad can do anytime like sit-to-stand exercises (sitting down and standing up from a seat without using his hands for assistance), standing on one foot for 30 seconds then switching to the other foot, and walking heel-to-toe across the room.

Check his meds: Does your dad take any medicine, or combination of medicines, that make him dizzy, sleepy or lightheaded? If so, make a list or gather up all the drugs he takes – prescriptions and over the counter – and contact his doctor or pharmacist for a drug review and adjustment.

Many blood pressure medications, antianxiety drugs, antidepressants, anti-seizure drugs, antipsychotic drugs, diuretics, sedatives, tranquilizers, some painkillers and over-the-counter drugs that cause drowsiness are common culprits in medicationrelated falls.

Choose safe footwear: Going barefoot or wearing slippers or socks at home can also cause falls, as can wearing backless shoes, and shoes with heels or smooth leather soles. The safest option is rubber-sole, lowheel shoes.

Purchase some helpful aids: If your dad needs some help with his balance or walking, get him a cane or walker. Also, to help ensure your dad’s safety, and provide you some peace of mind, consider getting him a medical alert system that comes with a wearable emergency help button (some systems are voice-activated) that would allow him to call for help if he did fall or need assistance.

“make sure the

lighting throughout the house is good”

To help you evaluate your dad’s future risk of falling, use the National Council on Aging’s “Falls Free Checkup” tool at NCOA.org/ tools/falls-free-checkup.

Washington State Fair in Full Swing

Puyallup, WA — The Washington State Fair is underway, bringing its familiar mix of rides, livestock, food, and music to the fairgrounds in Puyallup. The annual event runs through September 21, closing only on Tuesdays.

Visitors can expect the usual traditions: Fisher Scones hot from the oven, piglets and Clydesdales in the barns, and the giant Ferris wheel overlooking the grounds. This year’s schedule also includes rodeo events, live concerts, and agricultural exhibits highlighting the state’s farming heritage.

As one of the largest fairs in the country, the event continues to draw crowds from across Washington, offering a chance to revisit old favorites and discover something new.

Stay on Top of Chores This Backto-School Season

The start of a school year ushers in new messes and less time to tackle them. But you can stay ahead of dirt, clutter, slime and grime with these innovative tools and strategies:

POWER THROUGH MESSES

Busy households, especially those with kids and pets, can benefit from a powerful cleaning tool that makes everyday floor care faster, easier and more effi-

stay informed as you go. Plus, maintenance is simple. When you’re done, place the unit on its dual self-cleaning and charging dock so it’s fresh and ready for the next use.

OPTIMIZE KITCHEN TASKS

Smart technology is helping hectic households streamline cooking and cleaning tasks for fresher, more organized kitchens. Certain smart fridges feature internal cameras connected to an app. These allow you to view the contents of your fridge so you can meal plan from anywhere -- your workplace, the school pickup line, the grocery store -- before even walking in the door. They can also help you stay on top of lingering items, and avoid unpleasant leaks and odors in hard to reach spaces.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Study Smarter, Not Harder: Study tips any student can employ

Icient. That’s where solutions like the Tineco GO H2O HammerHead MessDetect, available at Target, come into play. A 3-in-1 mop, vacuum and self-cleaning system, its versatility and ease of use will encourage you to make quick daily passes in high-traffic zones so that even with little ones and furry friends tracking in dirt, you can keep the home spotless.

Dust bunnies and after school snack crumbs have finally met their match thanks to its lay-flat design and 128-degree swivel brush, which let you reach under low-clearance furniture without heavy lifting. Plus, the bacteriaresistant Zero Tangle Brush tackles pet hair effortlessly. The brush, paired with an anti-odor solution, help keep your home smelling fresh.

There’s a reason Tineco is found in over 19.5 million homes. The brand is constantly improving its products. The GO H2O Hammerhead Mess Detect features a 60% larger water tank than previous models, a cordless 30-minute runtime, and battery-saving smart MessDetect Technology that automatically adjusts cleaning power and water flow based on dirt levels, so you can clean your whole home without interruption, and cut down on time-consuming refills and recharges. With an LED screen that complements cleaning, displaying mess detection and cleaning progress, you can

Today’s latest dishwashers are also saving parent-chefs time and energy on busy weekdays. Embedded AI technology detects how soiled a dish is and adjusts settings accordingly, eliminating the need for pre-rinsing. On the tail end of a cycle, AI is optimizing drying so that dishes come out of the machine ready to be stowed. The best part? These functions can be operated remotely. Using a connected smartphone to run the dishwasher, you can return home to clean dishes, giving you more time to help the kids with their homework, prepare dinner and relax.

GET HELP, BUT MAKE IT FUN

One of the best ways to manage messes is by recruiting the entire family to help. To make it fun, engaging and streamlined, use an app like Sweepy. In addition to organizing a cleaning schedule for you based on your availability, and helping you prioritize what tasks needs to be undertaken first, the app also gives you the option of gamifying household chores. Simply add household members to the app, assign them tasks to complete, and have them compete for a spot on the leaderboard, so that clean-up is something that kids will actually look forward to!

This back-to-school season, don’t let messes get the better of you. With new tools and smart strategies, you can tackle everything from grass-stained sports uniforms to mountains of school clutter with ease.

t would be convenient if every student had a photographic memory, making it a snap to recall pages of text or concepts in great detail. Photographic memory is not real, but a very small portion of the population, around 2 to 10 percent of children, has something called an eidetic memory, which is a similar phenomenon and one that’s virtually nonexistent in adults, according to Psychology Today. That means that students will have to rely on other skills to get ahead in their coursework, perhaps none more important than effective study skills.

Some students recognize that their study habits simply are not cutting it and they’re just squeaking by in their courses. What might get a student by in high school may be ineffective for college classes. Learning effective study skills early on is a key to academic success.

DON’T CRAM

Many students procrastinate with their study sessions, leading to last-minute studying before a

big test. According to the American Psychological Association, students may perform well on a test for which they have crammed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve actually learned the material. Studying with the goal of long-term retention is best for learning.

ENGAGE IN ACTIVE STUDYING

Reading and re-reading texts or notes is not engaging with the material. Therefore, it likely won’t help with information retention. The Learning Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill says a student will need to make connections with the material, which can include making a study guide, becoming the teacher and teaching the concepts to others, deriving examples from one’s own experiences, or working problems out and explaining why they work.

ASK FOR HELP

Students do not have to struggle through difficult material alone. In addition to studying with fellow

students, who may have different ways of interpreting and sharing the information, individuals can seek assistance from a tutor or an academic resource center inside of the school. Working with someone else also helps students stay accountable and remain on track.

DETERMINE A STUDY STYLE

Students may need to employ some trial and error to identify the study methods that work best for them. This can include a combination of note-taking, summarization, reviewing what already is known about the topic, and individual or group study sessions. Environment also is an important study variable. Some students thrive in a quiet environment, while others need ambient noise to sharpen their focus.

0WORK INTENSELY

Studying in intensive, short sessions may enable students to get more done with less wasted effort. Taking breaks can boost attention, says the National Institutes of Health.

ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS

The more research that is done on multitasking, the more data indicates it isn’t effective. Studying while browsing the web, texting or looking at social media will increase the amount of time needed to learn the material and decrease the quality of the study session, according to research published in Computers & Education in 2012. Intelligent studying can help students make the most of their academic careers.

How to Reduce Risk for Head Lice

Head lice is a year-round problem, but tends to peak when children return to the classroom. Lice are parasites that affect millions of children every year, says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, particularly because of their close contact to others in school and day care settings.

Although lice are not known to spread disease, they attach to hair to feed on blood. This can cause itchy, irritated areas on the head that become uncomfortable. The best defense against lice is not getting them at all. These tips can help reduce the risk for lice infestation.

DISCOURAGE HEAD-TO-HEAD CONTACT

Children should be advised to avoid touching heads during play and other activities at school, home and elsewhere. If heads and hair come in contact with someone who actively has lice, the bugs are more readily spread to another person.

AVOID SHARING

Sharing is taught as good behavior, but there are some things children should not share with others. These include hats and other head coverings, over-the-head headsets/

headphones, scarves, helmets, towels, combs/brushes, hair accessories, and sports uniforms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says combs and brushes used by someone with head lice need to be soaked in hot water (at least 130 F) for five to 10 minutes to be disinfected.

WATCH THE ENVIRONMENT

Children and adults should not lie on beds, couches, pillows, carpets, or stuffed animals that have recently been in contact with a person with head lice.

CHANGE HAIRSTYLES

Children with long hair should consider wearing their hair in braids, tight buns or even in ponytails to reduce the risk of head lice.

Despite myths that suggest head lice are attracted to either clean or dirty hair, depending on the source, lice are attracted to a blood meal and will infest hair regardless of cleanliness.

EXPERIMENT WITH SPRAYS. Various products on the market are designed to repel head lice. Families can use their judgement on giving these items a try, many of which contain essential oils like lavender, peppermint and tea tree. All About Lice, a lice removal treatment center in Maine, indicates that hair spray is not a lice deterrent as some believe. Head lice is problematic at any time, but cases seem to climb when children return to school.
