Eatonville Powers Past Foss 55-24 with Dominant Ground and Air Attack

Eatonville displayed its most complete offensive performance of the season Friday night, scoring early and often in a 55-24 victory over Foss at Mt. Tahoma Athletic Stadium in a 2A South Puget Sound League game.

Behind a balanced attack that produced four rushing touchdowns and four through the air, the Cruisers (3-1 overall, 2-0 SPSL) kept control from start to finish while limiting mistakes. Quarterback Cole Fowler led the way with an efficient 12-of-20 passing performance for 296 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.

Head coach Gavin Kralik said the team’s improvement through the first month of the season has been noticeable, though the toughest part of the schedule still lies ahead.

“I am proud of the improvement of the team through the first four weeks,” Kralik said. “Very pleased with the way we have limited turnovers the past two weeks. We still have plenty of areas for improvement in all three phases of the game. The rate of improvement needs to continue for us to put ourselves in a good position with the schedule becoming increasingly challenging.”

FIRST QUARTER FIREWORKS Foss won the opening coin toss and

deferred, giving Eatonville the ball first. The Cruisers wasted no time. Fowler needed just two plays to get Eatonville on the board, connecting with Landon Austin for a 16yard touchdown with 10:55 left in the first quarter. The extra point made it 7-0. Foss answered quickly thanks to a special team’s breakdown. A long kickoff return set the Falcons up at the Eatonville 13-yard line, and two plays later Landon “CJ” Wiley lofted a 14-yard touchdown pass to Mateo Christie-Suddeath. The two-point attempt failed, leaving the Cruisers up 7-6 with 9:13 in the quarter.

Savvy Senior: What Seniors Need to Know About This Fall’s Vaccines

Dear Savvy Senior,

With a longtime vaccine critic leading the nation’s health departments, can you give me updated information on which vaccines are recommended for Medicare seniors this fall?

–Medicare Mary

Dear Mary,

Even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is undergoing major cultural changes and upheaval, to date, the overall fall vaccine recommendations for “older adults” resembles last year. But there are a few new tweaks you need to be aware of. Here’s what you should know.

FLU SHOTS FOR SENIORS

Just as they normally do, the CDC recommends a seasonal flu shot to everyone 6 months of age and older, but it’s especially important for older adults who have weaker immune defenses and have a greater risk of developing dangerous flu complications compared with younger, healthy adults.

For people age 65 and older, there are three different FDA approved flu vaccines (you only need one) that are recommended over traditional flu shots. These include: the Fluzone HighDose Quadrivalent, Flublok Quadrivalent (recombinant, egg free vaccine), and Fluad Quadrivalent.

These vaccines are formulated to create a more robust immune response, helping the body produce more antibodies, which makes them more effective in preventing the flu.

All flu vaccines are covered 100 percent by Medicare Part B as long as your doctor, health clinic or pharmacy agrees not to charge you more than Medicare pays.

RSV SHOTS

In addition to the flu shot, the CDC also recommends a single-dose of RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccine for all adults age 75 and older, as well as to high-risk adults between ages 50 and 74. These are people who have chronic heart or lung disease, weakened immune systems, diabetes with complications, severe obesity, or who live in long-term care facilities.

RSV is responsible for 6,000 to 10,000 deaths and up to 150,000 hospitalizations each year.

The three RSV vaccines approved and available in the U.S. – Arexvy, Abrysvo and mResvia – are all covered under Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plans. But note that if you got an RSV shot last year, or when it first became available in 2023, you do not need to get a second dose this year. For now, only one dose of RSV vaccine is recommended.

COVID BOOSTER

If you haven’t had a Covid booster shot lately, the Food and Drug Administration recently approved the 2025–2026 Covid-19 vaccine, which has been updated to target the dominant strain. This vaccine is recommended for all adults 65 and older and younger people that have a health condition that makes them vulnerable to severe Covid. That includes people with asthma, cancer, heart or lung problems, obesity, depression, a history of smoking or physical inactivity. Covid still causes at least 40,000 hospitalizations and approximately 47,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. Covid shots are covered by Medicare Part B.

PNEUMONIA VACCINES

If you haven’t been vaccinated for pneumonia, you should also consider getting the pneumococcal vaccine this fall. These vaccines are now recommended by the CDC to adults age 50 and older, instead of age 65, which was the previous recommendation. Pneumonia causes a whopping 1.2 million people to visit medical emergency departments in the U.S. each year and causes roughly 50,000 deaths.

If you’ve never been vaccinated for pneumonia, the PCV20 (Prevnar 20) or PCV21 (Capvaxive) are the top choices because they cover the most common serotypes. Medicare Part B covers pneumococcal shots, and you only need to get it once.

SIDE-EFFECTS AND SAFETY

You should be aware that all these vaccines can cause mild side effects like pain or tenderness where you got the shot, muscle aches, headache, fever or fatigue. Also note that it’s safe to receive these vaccines at the same time, but it may be best to spread them out a week or two because multiple vaccinations on the same day may cause increased side-effects.

County Parks Opens Spiketon Ditch Bridge

Pierce County Parks and the Foothills Rails-to-Trails Coalition celebrated the official opening of the Spiketon Ditch Bridge on Saturday, Sept. 13. This long-awaited project restores a vital link in the Foothills Trail, creating a seamless 24-mile stretch that enhances recreation, commuting options, and community connectivity across the region.

The bridge had been closed since November 2023, when an inspection revealed severe structural deficiencies. The old timber-frame structure was removed the following June, making way for a stronger replacement built from hot-dip galvanized steel and concrete. Designed for durability, the new bridge is expected to last up to 75 years.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Councilmember Dave Morell (District 1) joined Pierce County Executive Ryan Mello, Foothills Rails-to-Trails Coalition Executive Director Breanna Fokes, and other community leaders to mark the milestone.

Located in a relatively remote setting, the Spiketon Ditch Bridge does not provide direct vehicle access or on-site parking. Visitors must reach it by foot, bike, or wheelchair via the Foothills Trail. The nearest trailheads are South Prairie, about 1.5 miles away, and Buckley, roughly 4 miles away. County leaders emphasized that reconnecting this segment of trail is essential for strengthening community ties and expanding access for all trail users.

The Foothills National Recreation Trail, which incorporates the Spiketon Ditch Bridge, traces the route of a historic railroad bed. Extending southeast of Tacoma, the 22-mile trail is both a popular commuter route and a recreational gem. Cyclists enjoy the long, uninterrupted stretches, while walkers and hikers often prefer shorter scenic sections. One of the most striking portions begins in Orting, where the trail follows the Carbon River upstream, offering expansive views of farmland, forest, and the majestic Mt. Rainier.

Built as a multi-use corridor, the Foothills Trail

features a 12-foot-wide paved asphalt surface ideal for bicycles, walkers, skaters, and wheelchairs. A softer parallel path also accommodates equestrians, making it an inclusive space for a wide variety of users.

Currently, the trail begins in Puyallup at 13810 80th Street and winds through the Puyallup Valley to Orting. From there, it gradually climbs toward South Prairie and Buckley, where it currently ends at the White River. Future expansion plans envision connecting the trail westward into Puyallup’s Riverwalk Trail, and eventually to Tacoma and Sumner, where it will meet the Interurban Trail stretching north into Kent and Auburn. To the east, extensions from Buckley will carry the trail into King County and Enumclaw, strengthening the vision of a truly regional trail system. With the reopening of the Spiketon Ditch Bridge, Pierce County takes another major step toward realizing a continuous, accessible, and enduring recreational corridor that benefits residents and visitors alike.

DOH detects monkeypox in Pierce County wastewater

On Sept. 24, Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and the University of Washington detected clade I mpox virus (also called monkeypox virus) in Pierce County wastewater. After consultation with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department (TPCHD) is working with DOH to increase wastewater testing to monitor the situation. At this time, no patients with clade I mpox have been reported in Pierce County.

Two types of virus cause mpox: clade I and clade II. The vast majority of mpox cases in the United States have been caused by clade II mpox. According to CDC, six cases of clade I mpox have been reported in the United States in people who had recently traveled to countries with ongoing outbreaks. So far, there has not been sustained transmission of clade I mpox reported in the U.S.

Because this detection was in wastewater, the identity or travel history of any people with clade I mpox in Pierce County is not known. Wastewater testing complements traditional clinical disease reporting and offers an additional approach to detecting the presence of clade I mpox in the U.S. as early as possible. In partnership with DOH and CDC, TPCHD uses wastewater testing data to monitor other communicable diseases in our community as well.

"This is a rare occurrence, and also a great example of how public health keeps a close eye on disease spread to assess risk and inform the community when needed,” said Dr. James Miller, Health Officer for Tacoma-Pierce County. "The risk to the community from clade I mpox remains low. If you have symptoms of mpox, you should consult your healthcare provider.”

TPCHD encourages healthcare providers to consider mpox in patients with a rash that is consistent with mpox and to discuss the patient’s travel history to assess for the risk of clade I mpox. Healthcare providers and laboratories should report all cases of mpox to the Health Department. DOH and Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department will also share a health advisory with healthcare providers.

"We rely on astute clinicians as the eyes and ears of public health,” said Dr. Miller. The mpox virus typically spreads during close physical contact, including through sexual contact, day-to-day household contact, and within healthcare settings in the absence of personal protective equipment. Both types of the virus (clade I and clade II) spread in the same way and can be prevented using the same methods.

Mpox can cause a rash that looks like bumps, blisters or ulcers. The rash can be on a small area of the body (including the genitals) or can cover a larger area of the body. Some people have flu-like symptoms before the rash develops.

Most people recover in 2-4 weeks, but the disease can be serious, especially for children and people who are pregnant or have weakened immune systems.

If you have a new rash, sores, or other symptoms that you think could be from mpox:

· Avoid sex and other skin-to-skin contact.

· See your healthcare provider. Remind them mpox may be circulating in the community.

If you don’t have a healthcare provider or insurance and need to get tested or treated for mpox, call TPCHD at (253) 649-1412.

A vaccine is available for people at higher risk of contracting mpox. Contact your healthcare provider to get vaccinated or see the TPCHD website for more information and resources on getting vaccinated at a pharmacy.

County proclaims Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month

The Pierce County Council and Executive have proclaimed Sept. 15-Oct. 15 as Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month in Pierce County. This annual observance honors the histories, cultures, and contributions of Americans whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. This year’s national theme, “Collective Heritage: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” invites us to celebrate the legacies of

Hispanic and Latino communities while recognizing the promise of future generations. Hispanic and Latino Americans make up more than 12 percent of Pierce County’s population and continue to enrich our communities through small businesses, nonprofits, cultural traditions, and civic leadership. Local organizations such as Mi Centro in Tacoma’s Hilltop Neighborhood have long advanced cultural awareness, education, and essential services in our region.

“Of the new residents in Pierce County, one in three identify as Latino or Hispanic,” said Adan Espino, Director of Education & External Relations for Mi Centro. “Our community has grown 66 percent in the last 10 years, and that’s a combination of people moving in, but that’s a lot of people being born here, raised here, and having families here.”

Hispanic and Latino communities have helped build and strengthen our society for generations at every level – in government, science, business, culture, sports, education, and the arts. Washington State continues to see growth in Hispanic and Latino representation, including members of the Latino caucus in the Washington State Legislature, ensuring that the voices of this vibrant community are heard in shaping public policy.

The Council encourages community members to participate in celebrations, cultural programs, and educational events taking place throughout the month. The Uniformed Armed Services at Joint Base Lewis- McChord (JBLM) will commemorate the long-standing and remarkable contributions that Hispanic men and women have made in building and defending our nation.

The day of Sept. 15 is

significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, followed by Mexico’s independence on Sept. 16 and Chile’s on Sept. 18, with Día de la Raza, or Day of the Races, observed Oct. 9, all falling within this 30-day period.

The observation of National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on Sept. 15 and ending on Oct. 15, becoming law on Aug. 17, 1988, with the approval of Public Law 100-402.

Letter From the Superintendent

Dear Eatonville Staff, Parents, and Community Members,

SMOOTH START TO THE SCHOOL YEAR!

Iam excited to share that we had a smooth and productive beginning to the 2025-26 academic year. We are now serving over 2,000 fantastic students! Thanks to the meticulous planning and hard work of our dedicated staff throughout the summer and into early fall, our school year is shaping up to be a year of superior achievement and positive student experiences. This is aided by the fact that we now have over 19 months without a bus cancellation! This means that all our students can arrive every day on time to start their day out on a positive note. Very few districts can match our success with transportation. I want to thank the members of our transportation department for their extreme dedication to our students, parents and community.

OUR STUDENTS: SECOND TO NONE!

I could not be prouder of our students. They are second to none! Each time I visit a classroom, cheer on our student athletes, or see our students serve our amazing Eatonville community, I am reminded of why I chose to serve in Eatonville. I feel very grateful for this opportunity. Speaking of service, many students chose to give up a Saturday morning and serve our community at our recent 911 Day of Service and Remembrance. They didn’t just show up but immediately grabbed tools and began working at their assigned

area when the opening ceremony concluded. It was truly remarkable and inspiring!

DEDICATED PARENTS AND STAFF

MEMBERS

I also want to thank our parents for the sacrifices that they make every day to help your kids get to school on time, prepared to learn. Our parents are great partners and vital to the success of our students and to our school district. Finally, I want to thank every member of our staff for dedicating their lives to the success and well-being of our students and to the success of our community. I am honored to be counted among our strong team of educators.

ACADEMIC SUCCESSES AND GOALS

As I previously stated, our focus will continue to be on academic success. Last year we made great strides in the areas of English Language Arts and Science! I am confident that our assessment results will continue to improve in these areas. We are putting more supports in place to ensure greater achievement in Math. Additionally, we are placing an added emphasis on our strategic plan goal of preparing students for life. This involves connecting with our local businesses and community members to a greater degree and preparing our students to make a successful transition from high school to the next phase of life. If you have ideas, a contact or a resource to share, please reach out to me so that we can help our students reach their potential.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANS

My father often said that the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. I have found this to be a true statement throughout my 41year career. We are constantly striving to improve our practices. One of the ways that we address this goal is via school improvement plans that are aligned with our strategic plan. These are available on our district website for the community to review. You can also hear more about these plans on October 8th at 7 pm at the district office. All our principals will share the plan that they devised with their staff members for this school year. I invite you to attend this meeting in-person or virtually to learn more.

Cruisers Shine at PLU Meadows Cross Country Meet

The Eatonville Cruiser cross country teams showed both their depth and determination Wednesday, Sept. 24, as they took on Franklin Pierce, Orting and Washington High School at the PLU Meadows Disc Golf Course.

The flat, fast course offered prime conditions for quick times, and the Cruisers didn’t disappoint, producing standout performances and several personal bests on both the boys’ and girls’ sides.

FOOTBALL

From page 1

On the boys’ team, sophomore Gabe Kolsrud had a great day with a personal best time of 17 minutes, 34 seconds to finish second overall.

His performance set the tone for Eatonville, which placed four runners inside the top six.

Senior Colton Rush followed close behind in third with an 18:00 finish, while junior Titus Lowe (18:38) and senior Corey Dempsey (18:50) secured fifth and sixth place.

Adding to the depth, freshman Stephen Patton delivered a

Eatonville took the momentum right back. Starting from their own 14 after a fumbled return that went out of bounds, the Cruisers strung together a seven-play march. Ben Smith capped the drive with a 6-yard touchdown run out of a wildcat look, stretching the lead to 14-6 with 6:26 left.

Foss’ next possession stalled at its own 20yard line, forcing a punt that gave Eatonville the ball at the Falcons’ 48. A trick play went wrong when Smith’s halfback pass was intercepted at the Foss 5-yard line, but the Cruisers’ defense forced another punt and quickly regained field position.

This time, Eatonville cashed in. McIlraith finished a short drive with a 1-yard plunge in the final seconds of the quarter, putting the Cruisers ahead 20-6.

BIG PLAYS OPEN THE SECOND

The Eatonville defense held Foss to another three-and-out to start the second, and the Cruisers struck again. On a quick-hitting play, Fowler flipped a screen pass to Oscar Garcia, who weaved through the defense, shed multiple tacklers and raced 59 yards for a touchdown. Garcia finished with two

personal best 20:05 to place 14th. Sophomore Blayne Cabana also turned in a PR at 22:05 to finish 22nd overall.

“The boys, led by Gabe, had a great day,” head coach Geoff Olson said. “A few ran really good PRs, and it shows the progress they’re making as a team.”

The Cruiser girls were equally impressive, led by senior standout Grace Coonrod, who stormed to victory in 20:11. Coonrod’s decisive win set the pace early, and her teammates followed her lead.

catches for 99 yards, including that highlightreel score. The extra point pushed the lead to 27-6 with 11:58 remaining in the half.

Foss responded with its best drive of the night to that point. Running back Lakai Hovelman capped a seven-play possession with a 9-yard scoring run. The two-point try failed, trimming the Eatonville lead to 27-12 with 7:30 left.

Eatonville was forced to punt on its next drive, but the defense held firm again. Foss drove all the way to the Cruisers’ 6-yard line but turned the ball over on downs with just over two minutes left in the half.

On the very next play, Fowler delivered a dagger. He connected with Jacob Simons on a deep ball that went 94 yards to the end zone, electrifying the sideline and giving the Cruisers a 33-12 lead at 2:01 of the second quarter. The extra point was blocked, but Simons’ big play pushed his totals to two catches for 107 yards and a touchdown.

The half closed with another Foss threeand-out, sending Eatonville to the locker room with a 21-point advantage.

Cruisers pull away in the third

Foss opened the second half with the ball but punted again after three plays.

Eatonville marched 62 yards in five plays, highlighted by McIlraith’s punishing runs. The senior running back finished with nine

TRACK, FIELD AND STADIUM PROJECT

I want to end with a report on the progress of our track, field and stadium. We worked all spring and summer to receive the final approval to proceed with this long-overdue project. Finally, on August 18th we received the great news. On August 19th, heavy equipment arrived and on August 20th, the excavation began! Since then, our contractors, our town officials and the Eatonville School District have been working nonstop to complete the excavation of our often-unusable field, the demolition of our unsafe stadium, and the removal of our worn-out track. At this point we are starting the curbing and installation of an approved drainage system. Please see the accompanying videos. I will keep you updated on the progress of this important project. Our goal is to complete the track, field, stadium, restrooms, LED lighting, scoreboard and flagpole by the end of 2025. The exception is the final rubberized surface for the track which is weather-dependent and will be completed next spring when the weather cooperates.

GRATITUDE

Thanks to our voters, legislators, grants, Greater Eatonville Community Foundation, local businesses, and other generous community members, our students and community will have a beautiful and safe stadium, track and field.

We are Eatonville Strong! –Jay Brower Eatonville School District

Senior Bridget Stumph grabbed third place in 22:22, while junior Hannah Bieker took fourth in 23:04, giving Eatonville three runners inside the top five.

Behind them, senior Alice Alexander turned in her best race of the season, running a personal best of 31:39 to finish 24th. Seniors Savanna Price (35:15) and sophomore Madi Sarpy (36:59) rounded out Eatonville’s lineup, continuing to gain valuable experience.

Olson noted that the girls’ team was shorthanded, missing

carries for 121 yards and two touchdowns, including a 57-yard burst. He capped this drive with a 5-yard touchdown run and added the two-point conversion himself, pushing the lead to 41-12 at 8:53 of the third.

The Falcons’ next drive ended when Eatonville’s Garin Parker intercepted Wiley at the 30-yard line. A personal foul pushed the Cruisers back to their own 20, but Fowler remained sharp. Six plays later, he connected with sophomore Ryder Herbrand across the middle for a 9-yard touchdown pass, Fowler’s fourth of the night. The extra point stretched the margin to 48-12 with 7:10 left in the quarter.

With Eatonville rotating in reserves, Foss capitalized. Wiley hit Christie-Suddeath for a 52-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 48-18 with 6:03 remaining in the third.

Backup quarterback Ethan Packard led the next Eatonville drive, which reached the Foss 26 before turning it over on downs. Foss advanced to midfield as the third quarter expired.

CLOSING IT OUT

Any momentum Foss built quickly evaporated. Eatonville’s defense grabbed its second interception of the night early in the fourth when Axel Stammen picked off Wiley

sophomore Jenny Lowe, who was out sick. “I feel with Jenny the girls would have taken first place,” he said.

With four personal records, a first-place finish on the girls’ side and four top-six runners on the boys’ side, the meet at PLU Meadows was another strong step for Eatonville. The Cruisers return to action Wednesday, Oct. 1, at Orting’s Cardinal Stadium, where they will take on the Cardinals along with both Fife and Foss high schools.

at the Cruiser 33. Sticking to the ground game, the Cruisers marched 57 yards, finishing with a 4-yard touchdown run by Asher Pruitt. The extra point made it 55-18 with 7:07 left.

Foss tacked on one final score with a 43yard touchdown strike at the 5:19 mark, but it was too little too late. Eatonville would go on to take the 55-24 win.

Looking ahead

The Cruisers’ balanced performance highlighted their offensive firepower. Fowler spread the ball around to multiple playmakers, McIlraith punished Foss on the ground, and Garcia and Simons each produced highlight-reel touchdowns on explosive plays. The defense forced two turnovers and stood tall in multiple red-zone situations, limiting Foss to just four touchdowns on sustained drives.

Kralik emphasized that while the progress is clear, Eatonville must continue to sharpen execution with tougher games looming. “The rate of improvement needs to continue for us to put ourselves in a good position with the schedule becoming increasingly challenging,” Kralik said.

Eatonville will return “home” to Yelm Stadium Friday, Oct. 3, to host Franklin Pierce (2-2, 1-1) for its annual Homecoming game, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m.

A New Chapter for Tacoma Urban League

Much excitement filled the Tacoma Urban League (TUL) headquarters on Friday, Sept. 19, as community gathered to celebrate the League’s newly renovated and redesigned offices, which was a long time coming to the historic building constructed in 1989 by the League’s founding president Thomas Dixon (1931-2023).

It was a symbolic homecoming, a recommitment to a vision that stretches back generations in a community for which dignity, stability, and belonging are not luxuries, but rights.

Led by TUL President and CEO Desireé Wilkins Finch, alongside the Tacoma Urban League team, partners, dignitaries, and friends, there was a lot of love in the room as Wilkins Finch welcomed everyone. She was filled with emotion on this day – joy coupled with gratitude and hope for a prosperous future for League that she cares so much about.

After offering up a meaningful prayer of thanksgiving and blessing the food everyone enjoyed, she got the crowd pumped.

“When I say ‘I’m fired up!,’ you say, ‘Ready to go!’” and the crowd shouted these words back to her amid laughter and applause.

“This remodel is not just new paint and new floors,” she said. “This building is a promise to our youth, to our elders, to the Black businesses and families of Tacoma. It is a visible, stubborn answer to our current administration who would try to erase us and defund us or create narratives that we don’t belong.”

Beautifully designed by Drea Baines, inside TUL now is like entering a whole new building altogether. Charcoal gray walls and ceilings with white hardwood bamboo flooring tastefully blend with red velvet furnishings and plush, color-complementing throw rugs. Open and spacious, the offices are illuminated in natural light through windows. Extra attention was given to Thomas Dixon’s original office to include his wood desk as part of the room’s function as a conference area.

Wilkins Finch described the remodel as honoring lineage and legacy which will also be reflected in TUL’s ball on Feb. 7 with its theme, “Lineage, Luxury and Liberation.”

She said, “It is the lineage of those who came before us that gives us the privilege to serve. I didn’t get the privilege to sit at the feet of Thomas Dixon or Harold Moss, but I walk into their stories every day when I walk in these doors.”

It was just 10 months ago that Wilkins Finch began as TUL’s new president and CEO, and her leadership has led to numerous achievements. Through the Community Reinvestment Project, the League issued millions in loans to Black developers and businesses, invested $500,000 into the Tacoma Ministerial Alliance, and distributed $1.5 million in grants to local Black-owned enterprises. With these investments, Finch said, TUL is beginning to generate unrestricted income to build strong, tangible programs with clear and transformative curriculum that matters and that changes lives.

She had another important announcement as well.

“Today, I am proud to publicly announce that the Tacoma Urban League has acquired Homeownership Center Northwest, an organization that has put Black folks into homes in Tacoma for over 38 years. We now own six parcels of land in Tacoma and Lakewood. We are back in ownership and that matters because ownership builds wealth, stability and legacy.”

TUL leadership is also taking a fresh look at its programming. For example, Melanie Oden just came on board as president of the Tacoma Urban League Young Professionals. Having arrived in Tacoma just this past June, she graduated in May from Grinnell College in Iowa majoring in sociology and Japanese with honors in both fields of study. She is also a Mellon Mays Fellow, a selected undergraduate for the prestigious initiative aimed at increasing diversity in the faculty ranks of higher education by supporting students interested in PhD programs and academic careers in the humanities and social sciences. Oden brings youthful energy, ideas and a wealth of knowledge both academically and from her lived experience.

To close Friday’s celebration, TUL Board Co-Chair Jahmad Conley joined Wilkins Finch to cut the ribbon at the TAL entryway.

“This is symbolic, but what’s more symbolic is what happens after we cut the ribbon today. This is just the beginning of so much. The work continues moving forward,” he said. “Our hope is that we see you in the future because the things that are being provided here, your partnership means so much. Please come in, bring your ideas, bring people to the space –that’s what this is all about.”

Wilkins Finch echoed these words.

really shape how I approach this work,” she said. “I studied abroad in Japan for a year, and I was able to understand Japanese culture in a way that influences how I can function as a Black woman in America. I learned to see others for what they are and how to be myself in different environments as well as how to best support others.”

Her task is to breathe new life into TUL Young Professionals, an auxiliary volunteer organization that works to support people between ages 20 to 40 in establishing themselves in the professional world. YP provides networking and career support that works to foster professional and social connections as well as various resources like college readiness, resume building and other life skills such as financial literacy and the like. Community service is another YP component.

“My role is to be a vessel for what the community wants to see,” Oden said. “My job is to bring in young people and through networking, connecting and talking, to figure out what people are lacking and how I can help fill in that gap.”

Oden plans for YP to have two

“If you are a descendant of those who were enslaved in this country, if your family has carried the weight of Jim Crow and systemic exclusion, the Tacoma Urban League is for you. This is your home. This is for your family, your businesses, your vision, and your dreams. We will use this powerful story of our people and the strength of our brand to build, to grow and to prosper,” she said.

“Tacoma families deserve a place where they find community, support and resources no matter where they fall on the economic spectrum. You all deserve to walk in a door and know that you belong.”

A HOUSE BUILT ON BELONGING

The Tacoma Urban League was founded in 1968, at a time when civil rights struggles were transforming communities across the United States. Like many cities, Tacoma faced entrenched racial inequality, economic disparities, and limited opportunities for African Americans and other marginalized groups. Local leaders, inspired by the mission of the National Urban League, created a communitybased organization committed to equity, empowerment, and advocacy. From its earliest days, the Tacoma Urban League became

a driving force for civil rights, economic justice, and community development.

In its formative years, the League prioritized dismantling employment discrimination and housing inequities. Redlining and restrictive covenants excluded African American families from certain neighborhoods, while unfair hiring practices limited access to jobs. The League challenged these barriers and pressed institutions to adopt fairer policies. Education also became a cornerstone, as the League partnered with schools and parents to strengthen opportunities for children of color.

As it grew, the League expanded its focus to youth development, health advocacy, and leadership training. Programs offered mentorship, career preparation, and skill-building for young people, while job readiness initiatives and small business support addressed economic challenges during the downturns of the 1980s. The League also organized communities to amplify marginalized voices in public decision-making.

In the 1990s and 2000s, health equity emerged as a priority. The League led campaigns on HIV/ AIDS awareness, preventative healthcare, and mental health, working with clinics, churches, and nonprofits to close gaps in access. Leadership development, particularly for young African Americans, became another hallmark, equipping rising generations to advocate for systemic change.

Today, more than five decades later, the Tacoma Urban League remains a vital institution in the South Sound. Its programs span education, housing, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement. Signature initiatives like Project Success guide students of color from middle school through college, while training programs support small business growth. The League is also a vocal advocate for criminal justice reform, policing accountability, and voting rights. Grounded in its founding vision, the Tacoma Urban League continues to empower communities, promote resilience, and advance equity for all.

A Living Legend Publishes Her Memoir

Among the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, elder Ramona Bennett Bill is a most notable historic figure and veritable force of nature to this very day. At the Washington State History Museum on the evening of Sept. 18, a full house audience was treated to seeing and meeting her in-person as the museum’s first guest for its new “We the People” series of public programs on the third Thursday of each month. This event was in celebration of Bennett Bill’s newly published book, “Fighting for the Puyallup Tribe: A Memoir.” In less than 300 pages, she takes readers on a fascinating journey through her life of activism, sacrifice, perseverance, and honorable

“One of the most important books of the past 25 years”

commitment to her people and all Native Americans in their fight for respect, justice and equality.

Moderated by journalist John Hughes, former chief and head of the Legacy Washington Project in the Washington Secretary of State’s Office, Bennett Bill was also joined onstage by Darrell Hillaire, former tribal council member for the Lummi Nation, founder and director of the Lummi Youth Academy, and executive director of The Children of the Setting Sun.

Hughes called Bennett Bill’s memoir, “One of the most important books of the past 25 years.”

A tireless champion of Native rights, Bennett Bill has spent more than 60 years at the forefront of struggles for Native American fishing rights, land, health, and education on behalf of the Puyallup and other Northwest tribes. Her account offers rare insight into pivotal moments in modern Native American history because she was there in the thick of it, from the takeover of Fort Lawton to landmark Red Power movements at Alcatraz, Wounded Knee, and the Trail of Broken Treaties.

She recalls life at the Puyallup fishing camp during the Fish Wars of the 1960s and 1970s, where acts of resistance drew federal violence and intervention, ultimately leading to the Boldt Decision. Bennett Bill reflects on the 1976 occupation of the Cushman Indian Hospital/Cascadia property, a state-run facility on tribal land, and

the determined lobbying that secured its return to the Puyallup people.

For nearly 12 years, Bennett Bill served on the Puyallup Tribal Council, including a decade as chairwoman, where she built programs in social welfare, education, and enrollment while fighting for the protection of Native religious freedom. Her advocacy for Native children – particularly those adopted outside their community – helped lay the groundwork for the Indian Child Welfare Act.

The book brims with vivid accounts of her courageous courtroom testimony, press conferences on issues vital to Indian Country, and the enduring bonds she forged with allies and fellow activists throughout her remarkable journey. Now in her mid-80s, Bennett Bill continues to lead efforts for Native rights and environmental justice.

In her memoir, the renowned leader makes clear that she was one of many who put their lives on the line to defend their people. She names, and writes lovingly of, those close to her with whom she stood shoulder-to-shoulder whether testifying in the state legislature or staring down the barrel of a shotgun when merely exercising their right to fish in the waters of their usual and accustomed grounds.

Her memoir is filled with historic photos as well. Some are disturbing, such as an 1892 photograph of men standing on a mountain of buffalo skulls that would be used to make bone china and fertilizer and others showing white men carrying rifles and sending tear gas against their Native targets. Others are family portraits of her mother and grandmother when Bennett Bill was a little child, and candid photos of Bennett Bill captured in moments of doing her organizing work during formative moments in Northwest Native history.

At her History Museum event, numerous of these photos were shown on a big screen behind her as moderator Hughes elicited comments from her about them. In one slide, her mother could be seen wearing what Hughes called, “the first pair of Levi’s worn by a woman on the Suquamish reservation.” Bennett Bill spoke of how outrageous it was then for a woman to wear men’s pants.

Another included her aunt Jenny Davis, who Bennett Bill said was murdered in a land grab for her aunt’s allotment land.

“We got our reservation of 18,000 acres but after the allotments, there were mass murders, slaughters, so Jenny was murdered

while her husband was fishing,” Bennett Bill said.

Family means everything to Bennett Bill, and she shared this devotion with her fellow tribal members to bring them healing and more security. Her involvement in crafting the Indian Child Welfare Act cannot be praised enough, as this 1978 federal law succeeded in establishing minimum standards for child custody proceedings involving Native American and Alaska Native children, aiming to protect tribal interests and families.

“A very important part of putting ourselves back together was the Indian Child Welfare Act,” Hillaire said. “Young ones need to learn this history. It’s always a fight. This was key in the fight that she was always a part of.”

Bennett Bill said, “Everything was a fight. Nobody felt sorry for the poor Indians and gave us a damn thing. We had to fight for everything, even our children. Our children are beautiful, and they were being adopted. They had no problem terminating our families’ rights because we didn’t have lawyers or money to fight back so they could just come and say anything about any family. They were used to taking our children because the boarding schools dragged all the kids off and even Quileute had not one child between the ages of 7 and 15. Every kid was taken.”

“Fighting for the Puyallup Tribe” is filled with what Hughes described as, “gems

on every other page,” and he read some examples.

“We prayed before we took any life, animal or vegetable. We were always thankful and grateful. We do not kill for fun.”

“Canoes were like our cars, trucks, boats, vans and trailers. Today, if you call a canoe a boat, you may be thrown in the water.”

“A death in any family brings out the worst in the worst and the best in the best.”

Her mother is quoted as saying, “If you want to study savages, look at European history.”

Hughes said, “My all-time favorite is right at the front where you noted, ‘Indians are called Indians because Columbus was looking for India, and it’s a good thing he wasn’t looking for Turkey.’ Another gem is that you came home from school one day and declared that Columbus discovered America. Your mom said, ‘We were never lost.’”

One of Bennett Bill’s most endearing qualities is her dry sense of humor, and it was on full display to the delight of the audience. She said of Hughes, “I told him, first off, if anyone is going to fact-check me it’s going to be that guy. I told him if you tell me the book is a piece of s---, I’m still going to push for it to be released and distributed, but I’ll wear a bag on my head. He told me, ‘You don’t need a bag,’ so here I am. I don’t have a bag on my head, so I guess it’s okay.”

To this, Hughes replied, “Ernest Hemingway’s advice to would-be writers was to write what you know. He said, ‘Writers should draw from their own lives and experiences to create compelling, authentic narratives.’ You get an A+.”

“Fighting for the Puyallup Tribe: A Memoir” is available at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and publisher University of Washington Press at uwapress.uw.edu.

Bennett Bill has dedicated 60-plus years at the forefront of struggles for her Native people.

Family Left Homeless After Fire

On Sept. 13, a Tacoma family lost practically everything they owned when a fire ripped through their house and destroyed an RV that some family members were living in. Now they aren’t quite sure where to go or what to do as they try to determine their future.

Since 2011, Bishop Enoch Brooks and his wife, First Lady Paula, have lived in their house at the 6300 block of East F Street and serving at their church next door, Holy Trinity Church of Yah in Christ. They and their 3-yearold daughter stayed in the RV while their 10-year-old daughter preferred sleeping in her room in the house. Their close friend Larry, a janitorial staff of the church, was in the house too at the time of the fire.

That day at 12:27 in the afternoon, pounding on the side of their motorhome alerted them that something was terribly wrong. A neighbor shouted the words no one wants to hear: their house was in flames.

With the front porch already engulfed and the structure filling with smoke, the bishop rushed through the front door and into the blaze to save them.

daughter and Larry down the stairs. On the way, he also freed one of the family’s dogs from its kennel in the front room. But escaping through the front door was impossible. The flames were too intense.

“When I opened the door, the fire just forced us back,” he said. “The only way out was through the back door.”

Unbeknownst to Paula, who had remained outside, the group managed to escape through the rear of the home. For a heart-stopping moment, she feared the worst when they did not emerge from the front where she was waiting.

“Her heart just sank,” Bishop Enoch said quietly. “She was scared to death.”

The family’s ordeal did not end with their escape. Several of their

impossible.

Once outside, the bishop had to make another split-second decision when his daughter’s small dog bolted back inside. Without hesitation, he charged back into the burning house, grabbed the animal by the neck, and hurled it out the back door to safety.

Within minutes, firefighters reached the home and were able to extinguish the fire that also did serious damage to the family’s two vehicles.

The fire spread quickly, fueled by wind pushing flames toward the vehicles and RV parked in front of the home. Although the RV initially spared them from greater tragedy, it too was destroyed inside. All their belongings, including their clothing, personal documents, and even birthday presents for their youngest daughter, were lost.

“I was halfway up the stairs hollering for them to come out,” he said. “The whole place was filled with smoke.”

He managed to guide both his

pets were still trapped inside.

Three large dogs were kenneled in the back room, and though two were saved, one did not make it. Their cat, Midnight, was upstairs where thick smoke made rescue

“We just celebrated her third birthday, and all her presents were in the back of the motorhome,” Bishop Enoch said. “It’s burned completely on the inside. That hurt.”

The family had carried only liability insurance and could not afford a fire policy.

In the immediate aftermath, the Red Cross provided temporary shelter by covering a few nights at a hotel on Hosmer Street, but those funds were quickly exhausted. The family estimates they have already spent nearly $2,000 in hotel fees, draining what little they had left.

“All our clothes and everything was in the motorhome,” the bishop

said. “We’ve been washing and wearing the same clothes since it happened.”

The strain of the disaster compounds the trials they have already endured. Just last month, the bishop suffered a stroke while in New Orleans. Four years ago, the couple’s 4-year-old son passed away.

“It’s been a rough ride for us, and then this happened,” he said.

Despite their hardships, the family is not alone. Neighbors, fellow church members, and community organizations have stepped in to help. A church across the street quickly collected donations. Others launched a GoFundMe (type tinyurl.com/mtcvzr8b into your browser) and MealTrain

(tinyurl.com/m7vh8jte) which can provide food, cash, and clothing. For CashApp, use $holytrinitychurch777. Another option is Zelle which facilitates direct transfers from one bank account to another by using an email address or U.S. mobile phone number. The number for the church is (253) 359-0677 if those who would like to donate want to do so directly to Bishop Enoch and Paula.

Though they have lost two homes, countless personal belongings, and irreplaceable keepsakes, the bishop and his family remain grounded in gratitude.

“We thank God that everybody got out,” Paula said. “All this stuff can be replaced, but our lives cannot be replaced.”

Heritage Bank Gives Back at Eloise’s Cooking Pot

Apowerful example of community collaboration is thriving between Heritage Bank and the Making A Difference Foundation (MADF), home to Eloise’s Cooking Pot Food Bank. Together, they are showing what it truly means for neighbors to stand alongside one another in the fight against hunger.

At Eloise’s free food giveaway at the Tacoma Dome on Wednesday, Sept. 10, 27 Heritage Bank volunteers showed up in force to help out, and it meant the world to Ahndrea Blue, Founder, President, and CEO of MADF and Eloise’s Cooking Pot.

“We are profoundly thankful for our partnership with Heritage Bank,” she said. “This partnership goes far beyond financial support – it represents neighbors standing with neighbors to ensure that no family goes hungry.”

“It's a great way for us to give back”

That commitment was on full display at the Dome.

“They didn’t just lend a hand, they gave their hearts,” Blue said. “Their employees worked side-by-side with our staff and volunteers, helping to distribute food with kindness, dignity and compassion. We were able to feed more than 350 households in one day. That means hundreds of children, seniors and families went home with the food they need to thrive.”

For Blue, partnerships like this are a reminder that hunger is a challenge too great for one organization to tackle alone.

“It takes a community coming together,” she emphasized. “We are so grateful to Heritage Bank for showing what it means to invest in people, in families, and in the hope of a stronger, healthier Tacoma.”

The collaboration carries personal significance for Darriel Menefee, Board Chair of MADF and Vice President at Heritage Bank.

“It is very special to me personally to see my colleagues and employer step up in such a meaningful way,” Menefee said. “Heritage Bank’s support of MADF is more than just a partnership – it’s a demonstration of shared values and commitment to our community. To watch my team at Heritage roll up their sleeves and stand alongside us to help elevate the fight against hunger was both humbling and inspiring.”

The spirit of service is woven deeply into Heritage Bank’s culture. Deborah Dickson, Assistant Vice President and Branch Relationship Manager at the bank’s Allenmore office, described the initiative as one of her favorite parts of the job.

“Each year, we close early for one day so that every branch has an opportunity to spend the day working and impacting communities,” she said. “Each employee also gets eight hours of volunteer time every year. It is out of the goodness of the bank’s heart to allow us the opportunity to do this.”

For Dickson, the experience is always moving.

“It’s a great way for us to give back and make a difference in someone’s life,” she explained. “Just talking with clients and hearing their stories, you realize how thankful they are.”

She praised MADF’s welcoming approach.

“They’re not asking for a social security number or driver’s license – just simple information so they know how many people they’re serving. It’s about dignity, compassion, and meeting people where they are.”

The residence of Bishop Enoch Brooks and First Lady Paula was destroyed, along with their RV, a second home.

Candlelight Tour Brings Fort Nisqually’s 1857 Past to Life

This Friday and Saturday, the gates of Fort Nisqually will open after dark, inviting visitors to step into the year 1857. Lanterns and campfires will flicker across the historic Hudson’s Bay Company outpost, as more than 100 costumed interpreters re-create the bustle of a frontier settlement in the Washington Territory.

The Candlelight Tour, now a beloved autumn tradition, is more than just a walk

through history. Guests are not passive observers – they become invisible timetravelers, eavesdropping on conversations between fur traders, farmers, children, and townsfolk who have no idea they’re being overheard by audiences from the 21st century. Along the way, visitors may stumble upon a wedding celebration, join in song, or watch a dance that once carried across Puget Sound nearly 170 years ago.

The event is carefully staged to immerse guests in a single moment in time. While

“The event is carefully staged to immerse guests in a single moment in time.”

daylight hours at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum focus on demonstrations and explanations, the Candlelight Tour strips away the modern narration. The result is an atmosphere that feels eerily authentic – where the sights, sounds, and even the silences mirror the rhythms of daily life in a remote outpost.

“It’s our most atmospheric program of the year,” museum staff say. “The fort feels entirely different at night, with firelight glowing on the palisade walls and voices drifting through the darkness.”

Tours last about an hour and set off every 15 minutes between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 3, and Saturday, Oct. 4. Because the fort is tucked inside Point Defiance Park, visitors begin their evening at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and take a short shuttle ride to the site. Tickets are $24 for adults, $18 for youth, and free for children under four.

For those who haven’t visited in daylight, the Fort Nisqually Living History Museum offers a remarkable glimpse into the Puget Sound Agricultural Company and the Hudson’s Bay trading network that predated Washington’s statehood. Ten original and reconstructed buildings – including the Factor’s House and Granary, both National Historic Landmarks – remain open to the public year-round.

But for just two evenings, the fort is transformed into something closer to a time

PUBLIC NOTICE

On behalf of the U.S. Army Environmental Command (USAEC), Cherokee Nation Environmental Solutions (CNES), along with Conti Federal Services (CFS), has been contracted to provide an updated Community Involvement Plan (CIP). The Army requests public engagement in the Joint Base LewisMcChord (JBLM) development of the CIP as required by the environmental restoration program.

Communication has evolved. We would like to know how to get information to members of the community, so that the public has an active voice in the environmental actions associated with the installation. We would like to interview people like you to identify your concerns, preferred communication methods, and desired involvement levels in the Army Cleanup Process at JBLM. Your answers to the interview questions will be incorporated anonymously into the CIP.

Your opinion matters. Please reach out to this contact to express interest and gain more information: Carla Avery at (848) 327-4448 or cavery@contifederal.com. We can complete interviews via phone, email, or through online communication such as MS Teams through October 17th, 2025.

JBLM is approximately nine miles south-southwest of Tacoma, Washington. Camp Lewis was originally established in 1917, following the donation of 62,432 acres of land by the citizens of Pierce County to the federal government. Constructed by the Quartermaster Corps as one of 16 troop cantonments, Camp Lewis became the nation’s largest Army post at the time.

Adjacent to Fort Lewis, McChord Air Force Base was established and operated separately under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Air Force. Over the years, both installations played critical roles in national defense operations. Joint Base Lewis-McChord on February 1, 2010, as part of the Base Realignment and Closure Program, became fully operational in October 2010. Today, JBLM encompasses approximately 90,837 acres. The mission at JBLM is to provide state-of-the-art training and infrastructure, responsive quality of life programs, and fully capable mobilization and deployment operations for Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. The mission includes managing resources efficiently and equitably to support readiness and execution, and the well-being of service members, families, and civilians, and sustaining and protecting the environment as a fully integrated community partner in the lower Puget Sound, with a highly trained and motivated workforce. Environmental concerns are identified as areas such as chemicals of concern that impact the soil and groundwater. Published in the Dispatch September 17 & October 1, 2025
