Five Volunteers Take the Long Way to Care for Mount Rainier

Wildfire closures changed the destination, and a five-mile climb changed the commute, but a small group of volunteers still spent three days clearing an overgrown backcountry trail. Staff Report

MOUNT RAINIER NPS, MANDA

gloomy forecast and wildfire closures were apparently not enough to keep five volunteers from spending a September weekend working on Mount Rainier’s trails. The mountain simply made them work a little harder to get there. Five volunteers with Mount Rainier National Park Associates headed into the park earlier this month for a three-day backpacking trail project. Their original destination was Berkeley Park, where they planned to camp and work along the trail toward Grand Park. Then wildfire changed the itinerary. The Grand Park 2 and Wonderland Complex fires have closed trails throughout the Grand Park area, including Berkeley Park, and vehicle access to Sunrise remains closed. The National Park Service says

closures remain in effect in affected areas. Instead, volunteers Jaime, Jeff, Manda, Mona and Tom shifted their project to the Owyhigh Lakes area, camping at Tamanos Creek. Getting there came with an additional complication. With their planned access unavailable, the volunteers started from the Owyhigh Lakes trailhead along State Route 123. According to Mount Rainier National Park Associates, that meant beginning the project with a roughly five-mile backpack while carrying camping and work gear and gaining about 2,500 feet in elevation. Then came the actual work. The volunteers spent their trip “brushing” the overgrown trail, cutting back vegetation that had begun reclaiming the pathway. It may sound like glorified yard work until the yard in question is

Joe Harned Fund Provides Academic and Social-Emotional Support Across Eatonville Schools

cross the Eatonville School District, students are receiving additional academic support, mentorship, enrichment opportunities and social-emotional resources through the generosity and lasting legacy of Joe Harned. Joe Harned felt strongly about the power of education. During his lifetime, he made several large contributions to UPS, TCC and St Martins, resulting in his name being on a building at each of those campuses. He also funded many scholarships. He created a $2.5 million donor advised education fund as part of his estate planning, naming Beverly Baublits Wilson as the advisor. Ms Wilson, along with her brother, David Baublits, are determined to make the best use of these funds while honoring Mr Harned’s commitment to education. With funding provided by the Joe Harned Scholarship Fund, The Joe Harned Student Support

Program was established, creating opportunities that extend beyond the traditional classroom. The goal of the program is to give every student the opportunity to graduate from the Eatonville School District with all the tools needed to be a successful adult. Through the Joe Harned Student Support Program, each school has the opportunity to identify the unique needs of its students and use these resources to provide meaningful support that promotes academic success, personal growth and student well-being. Each school in the district receives an allocation from the fund to support students academically and socially and emotionally. Rather than prescribing a single program for every school, the funding allows each building to identify the needs of its students and develop supports that will make the greatest impact. From high school tutoring and graduation support to elementary reading and

math intervention, mentoring, physical wellness the result is a districtwide investment in helping students thrive. At Eatonville High School, funding is being used to provide after-school academic tutoring for students who need additional time, structure and support to remain successful in their classes and on track for graduation. Students have access to a certificated teacher who can help them prioritize missing or incomplete assignments, provide academic assistance and strengthen organization and time-management skills. Although tutoring is available across grade levels, particular emphasis is being placed on freshmen, recognizing the important connection between a successful ninth-grade year and future graduation success. The grant will provide 75 hours of tutoring throughout the school year,

Dear 86, mart thinking! Planning ahead can save your loved ones a lot of stress, and money. With a traditional burial averaging around $10,000 and a full-service cremation near $6,500, it’s easy to see why many seniors are looking for simpler, lowercost ways to say goodbye. The good news is, there are plenty of options that are dignified, straightforward, and much easier on your wallet. Here’s a look at some choices, depending on the kind of farewell you want. DIRECT CREMATION If cremation appeals to you, a direct cremation is the simplest – and usually the least expensive – option. It includes picking up the body, completing the required paperwork, the cremation itself, and returning the ashes to your family. There’s no embalming, formal viewing, or casket; a simple cardboard box called an “alternative container” is used to hold the remains. Depending on where you live and which provider you choose, direct cremation typically costs $700 to $3,500. If you want extra services, ask for an itemized price list so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Funeral homes are required by law to provide this.

Dear Savvy Senior, I’d like to make my end-of-life arrangements, but I want to keep things simple and affordable. What are my options? —86-Year-Old

www.pacificpublishingcompany.com @pacificpubco

IMMEDIATE OR DIRECT BURIAL If burial is your preference, an immediate or direct burial is the most basic option. The body is buried in a simple container soon after death, skipping embalming, viewings, and the use of funeral facilities. Families can still hold a memorial service at the graveside, at home, or at a place of worship without the body present. These services usually run $2,000 to $3,000, not counting cemetery fees, which can add $1,000 to $3,000. Every funeral home offers direct burial. To find local providers, you can search online for “cremation” or “funeral” along with your city and state. You can also compare prices on sites like Funeralocity.com or Parting.com.

Another handy approach is to use AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini: you can ask them to pull together lists of nearby funeral homes or cremation providers, see which services they offer, check estimated costs, and even compare options side by side – all in a matter of minutes. It’s a quick way to get a snapshot of what’s available without making a bunch of phone calls. GREEN BURIAL For the environmentally minded, green burial is a simple, natural option. The body is buried in a biodegradable coffin or shroud, without embalming chemicals or a vault. Costs typically range from $2,000 to $5,000. The Green Burial Council (greenburialcouncil.org, 888-966-3330) maintains a state-by-state directory of cemeteries and funeral professionals who offer these services. WATER CREMATION Also eco-friendly, water cremation (or alkaline hydrolysis) uses water, chemicals, and heat instead of fire. Costs usually range from $2,000 to $3,500, and it’s legal in more than 20 states. Search “alkaline hydrolysis” to find a provider near you. DONATE YOUR BODY If you want the lowest-cost option, consider donating your body to science. Medical schools use donated bodies for teaching and research, then return the cremated remains to your family or bury them in a local cemetery – usually free. Some schools may charge a small transport fee. To find a program in your state, check the University of Florida’s U.S. program directory at Anatbd.acb.med. ufl.edu/usprograms, or call the WholeBody Donation Referral Service at 800-727-0700. Planning ahead gives you control, saves your family money, and ensures your final wishes are honored. With these options, you can choose a farewell that’s simple, meaningful, and within your budget – and doing a little homework now makes it easier for everyone later. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

Cedarcrest Rebuild Advances After Demolition

CROSSWORD

BETHEL SCHOOL DISTRICT

emolition of the former Cedarcrest Middle School is complete, clearing the way for construction of a new campus expected to open in fall 2028, according to the Bethel School District. The project began as a modernization funded through the district’s voter-approved 2019 School Construction Bond, but plans have since expanded into a full replacement school. The district said additional state funding and further planning made the larger rebuild possible. Plans call for a three-story, 123,000-square-foot building with 39 classrooms. The new Cedarcrest will be designed for 850 students, up from the former school’s capacity of about 700, giving the district room for roughly 150 additional students. During construction, Cedarcrest students and staff are using the former Bethel High School campus. Bethel High moved into its new building this

GRANT, FROM 1 allowing the school to offer additional assistance when students need it most. EHS is also using funding to support mental health through fitness initiatives. The program provides opportunities for students to use physical activity as a positive strategy for managing stress, building confidence and supporting their overall well-being. By connecting physical wellness with mental and emotional health, the school hopes students will develop healthy habits and strategies they can carry with them beyond high school. At Eatonville Middle School, the Joe Harned Student Support Program is helping make Warrior Academy possible. Warrior Academy is a targeted student-support program for middle school students performing below grade-level standards in English Language Arts, mathematics or both. The program is designed to provide more than academic intervention. Students participating in Warrior Academy have opportunities to strengthen academic skills while developing organization and study habits, increasing self-confidence and self-efficacy, forming positive relationships with trusted adults and peers, and developing social-emotional skills that can contribute to long-term success. At Eatonville Elementary School, funding supports several established programs that provide students with additional layers of academic and social-emotional assistance. Math and English Language Arts tutoring groups are offered three days each week, Tuesday through Thursday, with separate support for primary and

school year, freeing the old high school to serve as a temporary middle school site. That temporary arrangement was already part of the district’s construction plan when the new Bethel High opened in August. At the time, district officials expected Cedarcrest to remain there for roughly two years while work on the middle school project was completed. The district describes the replacement as a stateof-the-art facility intended to provide updated learning spaces for the Chargers. The district’s September construction update marks a visible step forward in the project, with demolition finished and the old Cedarcrest site now cleared for the new facility. If the current schedule holds, students will move from the temporary campus into the new Cedarcrest for the 2028-29 school year.

intermediate students. Two staff members support each group, allowing students to receive more focused instruction based on their needs. The school is also continuing its mentoring program in collaboration with Eatonville Middle School as well as its Peer Mediation Program. Funding helps compensate staff members who provide these additional opportunities and assists with snacks and student incentives that help make the programs welcoming and engaging. At Weyerhaeuser Elementary School, students are once again benefiting from after-school tutoring and enrichment opportunities. The program combines targeted reading and math assistance with activities designed to build confidence, relationships and enthusiasm for learning. Academic support is based on individual student needs and reinforces skills students are developing during the regular school day. Students also have opportunities to participate in yoga and movement activities that promote physical wellness, mindfulness and self-regulation. By combining academics with enrichment and wellness, WES is creating an environment where students can strengthen the skills they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. At Columbia Crest Academy, the funding allows the school to continue the after-school tutoring and student-support model. Serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade, the program includes two certificated staff members, with one specializing in mathematics and the other in reading. Students receive targeted instruction, additional

practice and individualized support designed to strengthen essential academic skills while building confidence. The program also extends beyond academics. A school social worker provides social-emotional learning opportunities focused on self-regulation, communication, problem-solving and positive relationship-building. Students have access to engaging, hands-on experiences that support confidence and personal growth. While the programs look different from one Eatonville school to another, they share a common purpose: ensuring students have access to additional support when they need it. The flexibility provided through the Joe Harned Student Support Program allows educators closest to students to identify needs and respond with meaningful opportunities, whether that means an extra hour with a teacher, help developing study habits, a trusted mentor, a movement activity or an experience designed to strengthen a student's sense of connection and confidence. The Eatonville School District is deeply grateful for the generosity behind the Joe Harned Student Support Program and the continued investment it represents in local students. Through this support, resources are reaching classrooms and programs throughout the district and creating opportunities for students from elementary school through graduation. The impact of this generosity can be seen in many different ways across Eatonville schools, but at the center of each program is the same commitment: giving every student additional opportunities, relationships and resources to be successful.

Simons’ Two Touchdowns Not Enough as Cruisers Fall 15-14 By Skip Smith

HEATHER QUIRIE

atonville’s fourth-quarter comeback came up one play short Friday night as the Cruisers suffered their first loss of the season, falling 15-14 to the Washington Patriots at Franklin Pierce Stadium. After trailing 8-0 at halftime, Eatonville battled back behind two touchdown connections from Cole Fowler to Jacob Simons. The Cruisers had a chance to take the lead with 2:14 remaining, but their two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful. Eatonville entered the 2A South Puget Sound League matchup with a 3-0 record, while Washington was still searching for its first victory at 0-3. After Washington deferred, Trenton Prater returned the opening kickoff to the Eatonville 32. The Cruisers crossed midfield before a penalty pushed them back into their own territory. Eatonville punted, but the Washington returner mishandled the ball and the Cruisers recovered at the Patriots’ 15. The opportunity ended when Washington stopped Eatonville on fourth down at the 8. The Cruisers reached the Washington 14 early in the second quarter, but the Patriots blocked Ben Bernt’s 31-yard field goal attempt. After another Eatonville drive stalled, Simons helped flip the field with a booming punt that rolled dead at the Washington 24. He

averaged 45.5 yards on two punts, with both finishing inside the Patriots’ 20. Washington then drove 76 yards and scored on Ry Tuivaiave’s 8-yard pass to Brandawn Laititi. Andres Ramirez ran in the twopoint conversion for an 8-0 lead with 1:31 remaining in the half. Eatonville crossed into Washington territory on its next possession but turned the ball over on downs at the Patriots’ 39. Washington carried its eight-point lead into halftime. The Cruiser defense opened the third quarter with a stop, forcing Washington to turn the ball over on downs at the Eatonville 30. That was the spark the offense needed. Eatonville marched 70 yards, and Fowler finished the drive by finding Simons in the corner of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown. Amari Samuel ran in the two-point conversion, tying the game at 8 with 4:57 remaining in the third quarter. The defense quickly gave the offense another opportunity. Samuel intercepted a tipped Tuivaiave pass and returned it to the Washington 40. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty moved the ball to the 24, but the Cruisers went backward and turned it over on downs at the Washington 33. Hayes Sherrard came up with Eatonville’s second interception early in the fourth quarter, picking off Tuivaiave at the Cruiser 19. Eatonville moved toward midfield before Washington produced

he Eatonville High School swim team won two meets in three days last week, using its depth to beat Clover Park before claiming a second straight Queen of the Woods title. The Cruisers edged Clover Park 90-73 on Thursday, Sept. 24. Sophomore Katie Funk won the 200- and 500-yard freestyle events, freshman Reece Olsen took the 100 butterfly, and Grace King, Lily Hays, Clara Forsman and Olsen won the 200 freestyle relay. But Coach Andrea Stammen said the finishes behind the winners made the difference. “Our winning points came from the depth of our team,” Stammen said, pointing to the Cruisers’ second-, third- and fourth-place finishes throughout the meet. “This is where the true depth of a team is revealed.” Eatonville carried that strength into Saturday’s third annual Queen of the Woods meet, scoring 492 points to finish ahead of Graham-Kapowsin (329), Bethel (132) and Spanaway Lake (70). The Cruisers swept the top three places in several events and set three meet records. Olsen won the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke in record time. She also joined Hays, King and Amelia Palfenier on a record-setting 200 medley relay team. Funk added wins in the 200 and 500 freestyle, while Forsman won the 100 freestyle. Eatonville also took the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. The annual meet brought the neighboring teams together for a warmup line dance, an anthem performed by Graham-Kapowsin senior Ashlyn Gould, senior recognition and an all-team potluck.

acob Golding and Jackson Rockey won six straight games without losing a point. Eatonville’s No. 1 doubles team completed a golden set in the second set of its 6-0, 6-0 victory over Foss on Sept. 23. That meant winning 24 consecutive points on serves and returns. One lost point by either partner would have ended the streak. Their performance highlighted Eatonville’s 5-0 sweep of Foss, its first win after four 3-2 losses. Eatonville fell to Clover Park on Sept. 8 and Fife on Sept. 10 before a close match against Steilacoom on Sept. 18. Juniors Nate Diamond and Blake Pool rallied to win the second set at No. 2 doubles but lost the deciding match tiebreaker 10-6. Carter Belcher won at No. 2 singles, and Golding and Rockey won at No. 1 doubles. Coach Maryann Baker praised No. 1 singles player Will Fulmer’s rallies and shot placement against Steilacoom’s Elias Yi, despite a 6-1, 6-0 loss. “He is a smart player, and he is very quick on his feet,” Baker said. “Both of these traits will make him a strong threat in singles.” The Cruisers lost 3-2 to Washington at home Sept. 22. Diamond moved to No. 2 singles and pushed both sets to tiebreakers before losing 7-6, 7-6. He led the second set 5-0 before his opponent rallied. Golding and Rockey won at No. 1 doubles, while Pool and Belcher won at No. 2 doubles. Against Foss, Fulmer won 6-1, 6-0, and Pool and Belcher won 6-0, 6-1. Foss had five players available, giving Eatonville two wins by forfeit. Eatonville’s Sept. 25 match against Franklin Pierce was canceled because of rain and will be rescheduled. The Cruisers host Fife on Tuesday, Sept. 29, and Clover Park on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

Pierce County Council Holds District 3 Meeting at Eatonville High School

atonville High School welcomed the Pierce County Council and community leaders on Tuesday, September 22, for the Council’s District 3 In-District Meeting. The evening provided an opportunity to highlight the Eatonville community, share updates from local organizations, and connect Pierce County leaders with residents from throughout District 3. Pierce County Councilmember Amy Cruver represents District 3, which includes Eatonville, Ashford, Elbe, Graham, Roy, Spanaway, Frederickson, Kapowsin, McKenna, Lacamas, Harts Lake and surrounding communities. Before the meeting, Eatonville School District Superintendent Jay Brower welcomed Councilmembers and guests for a tour of Eatonville High School to give county leaders an opportunity to see recent improvements to the EHS campus firsthand. The tour included visiting the district’s newly completed community-use field, track and stadium facility. Students from EHS

helped lead the tour and expressed gratitude for the vast improvements and access to the facility. Visitors were then welcomed by the EHS swim captains who thanked council members for their generous $100,000 Pierce County Community-Needs Grant that will allow needed renovations and improvements to the facility. The official Council meeting began at 6 p.m. in the Eatonville High School Auditorium. The Pierce County Council typically meets Tuesdays in Tacoma, but the County Charter requires the Council to hold at least one evening meeting each year within each Council district. These meetings provide an opportunity to bring county

government directly into the communities Councilmembers represent. The evening included a welcome and community update from Eatonville Mayor Emily McFadden, followed by remarks from Pierce County Executive Ryan Mello. The Council also recognized September 20 through 26, 2026, as First Responders Wellness Week in Pierce County. Several local and regional organizations were featured throughout the meeting. Pierce County Fair Director Shelly Bennett provided an update on the Pierce County Fair, while Eatonville Business Association President Rebecca Crocker shared information about the work of the association and

Eatonville’s business community. Heath Heikkila, Director of Government Affairs for the American Forest Resource Council, also provided a briefing. Superintendent Brower presented an Eatonville School District update, providing county leaders and community members with an opportunity to learn more about the successes of the Eatonville School District in recent years, largely due to the unwavering support from the Eatonville community! The evening concluded with a community forum, allowing members of the public to speak directly to the Council. Eatonville School District was proud to host the Pierce County Council and welcome county and community leaders to Eatonville High School. Events such as the District 3 In-District Meeting provide an important opportunity to showcase our schools, strengthen partnerships and bring local and county leaders together in the community we serve.

Eatonville Reminds Residents to Use New Outage Reporting System

The 24-hour system isn’t just for power outages. Residents can also use it to report water emergencies and other problems that need the town’s attention. Staff Report

hat pothole you have developed a personal relationship with does not have to remain part of your daily commute. The Town of Eatonville is reminding residents to use its Outage Notification system to report problems ranging from power outages and water emergencies to issues involving streets, parks, potholes and downed trees. And despite the name, no actual outage is required. The system is available 24 hours a day and is intended to provide a direct way to get information to town crews, particularly when a problem develops after regular business hours. Eatonville launched the communication system earlier this year, initially promoting it as a way to improve communication during power outages, water leaks and planned maintenance. Residents can call or text 360819-1228 to report a power outage or after-hours water, electric or sewer emergency. The town says the service is the most effective way to get a timely response from its crews. More recently, Eatonville has been encouraging residents to think beyond utilities. Problems involving streets and parks can also be reported through the system, including potholes and downed trees. So if a tree decides it would rather be horizontal at 2 a.m., there is no need to wait for Town Hall to open before mentioning it.

For utility customers, the system also includes several text commands. Residents can text START to begin receiving messages, OUTAGE to report a power outage, STATUS to receive the current status of an outage and STOP to stop receiving messages. Eatonville operates many of its own essential services, including electric power, water, wastewater and stormwater utilities, in addition to garbage and recycling services. During regular business hours, Town Hall is still available for utility issues and other town business. It is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with a lunch closure from noon to 12:30 p.m. Water, electric and sewer problems, unfortunately, have never demonstrated much respect for business hours. For those situations, Eatonville’s current after-hours instructions direct residents to call or text the same 360-819-1228 number. There is one important distinction. The notification system is designed for town infrastructure and service problems. It does not replace 911. Fires, life-threatening medical emergencies, crimes in progress and other situations involving an immediate threat to people or property should still be reported to emergency dispatchers. A burst water pipe at midnight? Call or text the town. A tree blocking the street? Tell the town. A pothole that has become large enough that you’re considering giving it a name and adding it to Google Maps? Also the town.

An actual emergency involving someone’s immediate safety? 911. For everything else, Eatonville is asking residents to make use of the reporting system rather than

simply hoping a town employee eventually encounters the problem in the wild. Because while complaining about a pothole to your passenger

Nearly 61,000 Tons Removed From Former Eatonville Landfill Staff Report

RAINIER, FROM 1 several miles into Mount Rainier National Park. Trail work is one of Mount Rainier National Park Associates’ primary volunteer projects. Depending on the location, crews may cut back brush, fill potholes, move rocks, improve drainage, rebuild river crossings or even cut new sections of trail where nature has erased the old route. Volunteers can carry loppers, shovels, rock bars, rakes and other hand tools in addition to everything needed for a day, or several days, in the backcountry. Two members of the September crew worked for the first day before heading out. The remaining three stayed to work for the entire three-day project. Their replacement destination was hardly a consolation prize. The Owyhigh Lakes trail climbs through forest toward a pair of secluded mountain lakes tucked between Governors Ridge and Tamanos Mountain.

WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY

or decades, an old landfill sat inside what is now Nisqually State Park, largely out of sight but carrying a legacy of waste, contaminated soil and environmental concerns near the Mashel River. Now, a major cleanup of the former Eatonville landfill is nearly complete. The Washington State Department of Ecology announced this month that excavation at the site has finished after crews removed approximately 60,975 tons of garbage and contaminated soil — the equivalent of about 1,945 dump truck loads. For residents unfamiliar with the site, the landfill operated from roughly 1950 to 1980 on property owned by Weyerhaeuser and leased to the Town of Eatonville for use as a dump. Unlike modern landfills, the site had no liner underneath the waste and, until recently, no protective cover over the top. That meant rainwater could move through old garbage and potentially carry contaminants into surrounding soil and groundwater, while wildlife could walk across or dig into exposed waste. Its location also made cleanup complicated. The landfill sits on a steep slope leading toward wetlands near the Mashel River. Crews could not simply excavate the entire hillside at once. Instead, they worked down the slope in sections, removing waste and contaminated soil before constructing concrete retaining walls to keep clean soil from sliding back into the areas being excavated. A 50-foot long-reach excavator was used to reach farther down the slope. Smaller dump trucks moved material from the excavation area to a staging location at the top of the hill, where larger trucks hauled it away to a lined landfill in Puyallup. With the major excavation work now complete, crews have regraded the slope, planted young trees and seeded the area with grass. The work does not mean environmental monitoring at the site is finished. Monitoring wells have been installed near the wetland at the bottom of the hill to help determine whether the cleanup is working as intended. According to Ecology, samples from the area produced results that could indicate petroleum contamination.

The agency cautions that naturally occurring compounds can sometimes resemble petroleum during testing, and additional analysis is underway to determine what is actually present. If petroleum contamination is confirmed, Ecology says it will continue monitoring the area to determine whether it breaks down naturally over time. Digging into the wetland to remove potentially affected soil could itself cause substantial damage to otherwise healthy habitat. Crews have already removed solid waste found in the wetland, including tires and metal debris. The cleanup is being paid for by Weyerhaeuser and the Town of Eatonville, which are responsible for the former landfill. Ecology awarded the town $7.4 million in grant funding to cover Eatonville’s half of the cleanup costs. The grant is funded primarily through Washington’s hazardous substance tax, which supports contaminated-site cleanup projects around the state. For residents who have followed the project, the Workers removed solid waste, like tires and metal scrap, from the wetland.

Step Into the Past by Candlelight Staff Report

here are plenty of ways to get scared in October. Haunted houses can supply chainsaws, zombies and things waiting around corners to make you scream. Fort Nisqually is offering something a little different. After the gates would normally close and darkness settles over Point Defiance Park, visitors will enter the Fort with no electric lights to guide the experience. Instead, campfires burn outside the buildings and candles glow from within. More than 100 people dressed for the 19th century go about their evening as if the crowd wandering among them simply isn’t there. For two nights, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum will turn back the clock for its annual Candlelight Tour, an outdoor evening experience Oct. 2 and 3. It isn’t exactly a ghost tour, but visitors are essentially playing the ghosts. Historical interpreters portray the men, women and children connected to the Hudson’s Bay Company during the Fort’s 19th-century history. They talk to one another, work, play games, sing and dance. What they don’t do is stop to address the people watching them. The 21st-century visitors are invisible. That small twist separates Candlelight Tour from a typical trip to a living-history museum. During the day, an interpreter might explain what an object was used for, answer questions about clothing or demonstrate how a task was performed. Candlelight Tour asks visitors to simply watch. The result is less like attending a history lesson and more like stumbling into somebody else’s evening more than 160 years ago. The original Fort Nisqually was established by the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1833 as a fur-trading post and became the first globally connected settlement on Puget Sound. It later became headquarters for the Puget Sound Agricultural Company, an agricultural subsidiary of the Hudson’s Bay Company.

The Fort was never actually located inside what is now Point Defiance Park. Its original site was farther south, near presentday DuPont. As the surviving buildings deteriorated decades after the Fort closed, preservationists moved two of them to Point Defiance Park in the 1930s. Those buildings — the Factor’s House and Granary — are now National Historic Landmarks. Today, the reconstructed Fort includes nine buildings open to visitors and interprets life in Washington Territory during the 1850s. Normally, visitors arrive with the conveniences of a modern museum around them. Candlelight Tour strips some of that away. Once the sun goes down, candles and campfires become part of the storytelling. Visitors move through scenes rather than exhibits, listening in on conversations and watching the Fort’s residents entertain themselves with songs, dances and games. Previous editions of Candlelight Tour have portrayed specific moments in the Fort’s history, allowing interpreters to build their conversations and activities around events that people living there might actually have been discussing. More than a costume party, the approach gives visitors a chance to see history as something that was once simply everyday life. And everyday life at Fort Nisqually included a much wider range of people than the image of an isolated frontier trading post might suggest. Hudson’s Bay Company employees and their families lived and worked within a network that stretched far beyond Puget Sound. The Fort was connected to international trade while operating in a region that had long been home to Coast Salish peoples. Over its history, the community surrounding the Fort included Indigenous people, European and Canadian employees, Métis families, American settlers and a diverse workforce. Those connections are part of what makes wandering through the Fort after dark so interesting. The buildings may feel distant from modern Tacoma, but the people

represented there were living through a period when the identity and future of the region were rapidly changing. Candlelight makes that history feel a little less safely tucked away behind museum glass. There is also something inherently eerie about watching people who refuse to acknowledge your existence. A conversation continues when you approach. Someone passes without greeting you. Music and voices carry through the darkness. A fire illuminates faces for a moment before visitors continue toward another scene. No monster needs to jump out from behind the Granary. The experience relies instead on imagination — and on the strange sensation of being allowed to watch the past without being able to interrupt it. The approximately hour-long walking tours are held outdoors, so visitors should dress for whatever October in Tacoma

decides to provide. The event continues rain or shine. Visitors begin their evening at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium parking lot rather than driving directly to the museum. From there, a short bus ride transports guests to Fort Nisqually. Parks Tacoma asks visitors to arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled departure. Then it is time to leave 2026 behind for a while. Candlelight Tour runs Oct. 2 and 3 at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum in Point Defiance Park. Tours begin in the evening, and advance tickets are required. For anyone looking for an October activity with a little atmosphere but without the manufactured scares of a haunted attraction, an hour spent as a ghost from the future might do the trick. Just remember: no matter what happens inside the Fort, the people of the past can’t see you. At least, they’re not supposed to.

Taste the Past, Pioneer Style

Cake Without the Eggs N o eggs? Apparently that wasn’t going to stop Washington’s early bakers from having cake. Life in early Washington could make something as ordinary as baking a cake surprisingly complicated. Settlers outside the larger communities depended heavily on ships and irregular supplies for everyday staples, and food historian Jacqueline Williams found recipes reflecting how inventive cooks became when ingredients were scarce. Among them: cakes made without eggs. Period recipes show that these weren’t necessarily sad substitutes, either. Eggless cakes could include raisins, molasses and warming spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg — ingredients that turned a shortage into something that still belonged beside a cup of coffee. This version is a modern kitchen experiment inspired by those early eggless cakes. It keeps the simple ingredients and warm spices while replacing wonderfully vague historical directions like “bake in a moderate oven” with something your oven can actually understand.

Directions Heat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until well combined. Stir in the buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until no streaks of flour remain. Fold in the raisins, if using. The batter will be thicker than many modern cake batters. Spread evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares. Skip the frosting. Serve it warm or at room temperature alongside your decidedly questionable cup of pioneer bran “coffee.” After all, if we’re going to find out how Washington settlers handled a world without Starbucks, we might as well have cake.

Pioneer Spice Cake Ingredients • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 cup brown sugar • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 1 teaspoon cinnamon • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves • ½ teaspoon salt • ½ cup butter, softened • 1 cup buttermilk • 1 cup raisins, optional

Coffee Without the Coffee

Pioneer Bran “Coffee” Ingredients • 2 cups wheat bran • 1 1/2 teaspoons molasses • About 2 tablespoons hot water • Water for brewing • Milk, cream or sugar, optional

ould you make a cup of coffee out of wheat bran and molasses? Pioneers apparently did. So naturally, we have to try it. Coffee wasn’t always something you could replace with a quick trip to the grocery store. Washington State University food historian Jacqueline Williams found that early settlers sometimes had to get creative when familiar staples were scarce, including making coffee substitutes from bran and molasses. One Washington pioneer recalled going without coffee for an extended period between 1893 and 1896 because no one could afford the coffee being shipped into the area. Her husband eventually came home with an alternative: roast bran with a little molasses until dark, then brew it like coffee. The original recipe calls for an entire gallon of bran. We’re not doing that. Instead, here’s a scaled-down version for anyone curious enough to find out what happens when breakfast fiber is asked to perform the duties of a coffee bean.

Directions Heat the oven to 350 F. Place the wheat bran in a bowl. Stir the molasses into the hot water, then drizzle it over the bran, mixing thoroughly. The goal is to lightly and evenly dampen the bran rather than turn it into dough. Spread the mixture in a thin layer on a baking sheet. Bake until the bran becomes very dark brown and develops a deeply toasted aroma, stirring frequently so it roasts evenly and doesn’t burn. Start checking it closely after about 15 minutes. A few very dark bits are historically appropriate; a tray full of charcoal is not. Let the roasted mixture cool. To make one cup, start with about 2 tablespoons of the roasted bran mixture per 8 ounces of water. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer or coffee filter. Taste it. Contemplate the decisions that brought you here. Add milk, cream or sugar if desired. Could this actually get you through a Washington winter without coffee?

Chopic, Behrendt Help Lady Cruisers Show Progress in Tough Week By Skip Smith

he final scores did not go Eatonville’s way, but the Lady Cruisers showed encouraging signs of progress in losses to Fife and Steilacoom last week. Eatonville opened the week against Fife and played some of its best soccer of the season during the first 20 minutes. The Cruisers controlled the early tempo before Fife broke through on a penalty kick in the 22nd minute. The Trojans scored four more times before halftime despite goalkeeper Savannah McCandless making 11 saves. Fife eventually earned an 8-0 victory, with McCandless finishing with 18 saves. Eatonville responded later in the week with one of its strongest performances of the season against Steilacoom, considered one of the top teams in Class 2A. Ryleigh Chopic nearly gave the Cruisers the lead with a well-struck shot that forced a save, while Mila Behrendt also

put a dangerous attempt on frame. McCandless made seven first-half saves as Eatonville kept the Sentinels scoreless through the opening 40 minutes. Steilacoom finally broke through in the 48th minute, but the Cruisers continued to push for an equalizer and remained within one goal until the 68th minute, when the Sentinels added their second in a 2-0 victory. McCandless finished with 13 saves, giving her 31 for the week. For Eatonville, the week showed progress. After challenging Fife during the opening 20 minutes, the Cruisers sustained that level of play much longer against Steilacoom, holding the Sentinels scoreless for an entire half while creating chances of their own. The Lady Cruisers host Clover Park at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, at Arrow Lumber Stadium at B.W. Lyon Field before traveling to Franklin Pierce Stadium to face the Cardinals at 7 p.m.
