Message from the Superintendent

By Jay Brower

First Day Sept. 6 marked the beginning of a new school year for our nearly 2,000 Eatonville students. As I visited each school that day, I felt a profound sense of appreciation for our staff members who worked diligently to prepare for this important school year to ensure the success of each and every student. Their dedication to our students cannot be overstated.

I was, likewise, so impressed by our students who were eager to return to school, by parents who expressed an interest in teaming up with staff members and supporting their Courtesy Rhonda Dunn Eatonville’s Mary VanEaton crosses up her opponent ion a match last week against Hoquiam.

Eatonville girls soccer snaps losing streak

By Skip Smith

Contributing Writer

The Eatonville Cruisers girls soccer team celebrated back-toback victories that put an end to a challenging three-game losing streak and ignited their season with renewed energy.

First, they dominated the Hoquiam Grizzlies at home with a

resounding 5-0 win, and then they clinched a 1-0 overtime victory against the Elma Eagles on the road.

Interim head coach Machaela Swartout praised her team's resilience and determination, particularly highlighting their ability to bounce back after a tough first half in the match against Hoquiam.

“In the first half, we didn't play our best soccer, but we managed to find the net twice," Swartout said. “Hannah Hanson opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a goal off a cutback cross from Nikia King. Our second goal came in the 31st minute, with Hailey Courson finding the back of the net, thanks SOCCER Page 8

Savvy Senior: Do you need life insurance after you retire?

D

ear Savvy Senior, Do I still need life insurance after I retire? I’ve been thinking about dropping my policy to escape the premiums. Is this a good idea?

Approaching Retirement Dear Approaching, It depends on your family and financial situation. While many retirees choose to stop paying their life insurance premiums when they no longer have young families to take care of, there are several reasons you may still want to keep your policy. Here are some different factors to help you decide.

Family situation: Life insurance is designed to help protect your spouse and children from poverty in the case of your untimely death. But if your children are grown and are on their own, and you have sufficient financial resources to cover you and your spouse’s retirement costs, then there is little need to continue to have life insurance.

On the other hand, if you had a child late in life or have a relative with special needs who is dependent on you for income, it makes sense to keep paying the premiums on your policy.

You also need to make sure your spouse’s retirement income will not take a significant hit when you die.

Check out the conditions of your pension or annuity (if you have them) to see if they stop paying when you die, and factor in your lost Social Security income too.

If you find that your spouse will lose a significant portion of income upon your death, you may want to keep the policy to help make up the difference.

Debts: If you are still paying off your mortgage or have other large debts, you should probably keep your policy to help your loved ones pay off these debts

when you die. But if your debt payments are a small part of your net worth that poses no risk of financial difficulty, then you may not need it.

Work: Will you need to take another job in retirement to earn income?

Since life insurance helps replace lost income to your family when you die, you may want to keep your policy if your spouse or other family members are relying on that income. However, if you have very little income from your retirement job, then there’s probably no need to continue with the policy.

Estate taxes: Life insurance can also be a handy estate-

planning tool. If, for example, you own a business that you want to keep in the family and you don’t have enough liquid assets to take care of the estate taxes, you can sometimes use a life insurance policy to help your heirs pay off Uncle Sam when you die.

To help you with this decision, consider talking to an estate-planning expert or a fee-only financial advisor who can help you weigh out the pros and cons.

SELL OR SWAP YOUR POLICY If you decide that you don’t need your life insurance policy any

longer, you may want to consider selling it in a “life settlement” transaction to a third-party company, which typically pays four to eight times more than the policy cash surrender value. The best candidates are people over age 65 who own a policy with a face value of $100,000 or more.

If you’re interested in this option, get quotes from several life settlement providers or brokers in your state. To find them, the Life Insurance Settlement Association provides a directory at LISA.org.

Another option is to use a tax-free 1035 exchange to swap your policy for a hybrid product that blends life insurance with long-term-care insurance coverage. These products come in various forms, but they often combine a whole or universal life policy with a long-term-care rider. If you don’t use the longterm-care coverage, your heirs get the death benefit.

Submit information to dispatch@pacifcpublishing.com SCHOOL from Page 1 efforts and by community members offering support. I have also had the pleasure of meeting with the PTA, PTO and Booster Club leaders at Weyerhaeuser and Eatonville Elementary Schools and at Columbia Crest A-STEM Academy. They are extremely dedicated to our students, staff members and to our community.

Together, we will accomplish great things!

ATHLETICS I have enjoyed attending many sporting events and I am absolutely amazed by our student athletes at all levels and in every sport. Like you, I cheer when the scoreboard reflects a victory but even when it doesn’t, I feel like we have won because I see their determination, progress, teamwork and sportsmanship. As an example, at a recent meet, I watched our swim team stand at the end of the pool and cheer on teammates and competitors alike. They recognized and honored effort as much as outcome.

I see coaches, parents and fans that are on the sidelines cheering for our student athletes, every step of the way.

We definitely have the home field advantage, even when we travel to compete at other schools.

SERVICE Our students are quick to volunteer service for the benefit of others.

For example, students at Eatonville High have already organized a food drive and a pet supply drive. Several Eatonville students also participated in Eatonville’s 911 Day of Service community projects. Our students are always looking for opportunities to serve!

CHALLENGES As I have discussed, one of our greatest challenges is providing transportation for all of our students.

In spite of our efforts to find solutions, we still find ourselves in need of more drivers and more answers.

On September 20th, we held a transportation public forum, calling on all stakeholders to find solutions to this challenge. In response, 75 people showed up to share ideas and discuss solutions and we also received over 100 ideas on our transportation feedback survey. We are busy looking through each solution and evaluating the feasibility of implementing these ideas. I wish there were easy and same-day solutions but if that were the case, we would have resolved this challenge long ago. The good news is that we now have several new applicants and new bus drivers coming onboard. We are moving toward some sustainable solutions.

This will take time but we are committed to solving the dilemma. I want to thank you for your support and understanding as we address this need.

SUMMARY I am extremely grateful and proud to be a member of the Eatonville School District. Thank you for the opportunity to partner with you to serve our remarkable students, families and community members.

Together we will accomplish great things for our students and for each other. I will end with a quote from Helen Keller. “Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.”

Eatonville Strong.

120 volunteers serve community

By Sara Wendell

Special to the Dispatch

The Eatonville 9/11 Day of Service is a community day of service that has taken place in the Town of Eatonville since 2002. People from across the community come together to honor local first responders, military men and women, as well as those whose lives were forever changed during the terrorist attacks on Sept.

11, 2001.

This year the event was held on Sept. 9. The day began at the Eatonville High School Flagpole. Pastor Josh from Daybreak Community Church welcomed everyone and recognized fire fighters in attendance from the Eatonville Fire Department.

Bishop Brian Merrill from The Eatonville Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints offered a prayer. Our local Boy Scout troop led attendees in the pledge of allegiance after which a moment of silence was observed. An EHS student, Clara Chabot, played “God Bless America” on the trumpet. Jay Brower, Eatonville School District’s new superintendent, gave

brief remarks and then volunteers went to their chosen project locations.

Many churches and organizations were involved in the day of service this year. Some of the projects available were: installing a seed library and weed pulling at the Mountain Community Co-op Garden,

painting at Mill Pond Park, raking debris at the Eatonville Cemetery, cleaning the visitor’s center, litter pick up all over town, weed pulling at Trinity Aviation, and tree limb removal on Eatonville Highway and Antonie Ave. Volunteers were able to have a free lunch at

the Eatonville Methodist Church. Planning, organizing, cooking, serving and cleaning up lunch was a combined effort.

Congregation members of four different churches made this meal possible.

A huge thank you to the ladies of Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic church, The Church of Christ, The Eatonville Methodist Church, and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Also, thank you to the Eatonville Eagles for their monetary donation to purchase items for the meal.

Miles Pizza Depot provided the location for Cascade Regional Blood Services Blood Mobile.

Seventeen units of blood were donated by community members. Lives will be saved because of the gracious giving of these donors.

A special project took place at Glacier Village, a subsidized apartment complex in Eatonville. A group of youth and adults removed outdoor plants and put in new plants as well as created an outdoor patio for the residents to enjoy time outside together.

Christine Wendell said “it was rewarding to help the seniors at Glacier Village clean up and beautify their outdoor area and see the joy on their faces after the transformation.” After the work was done volunteers stayed to have a BBQ potluck with the residents and play bingo.

In total about 120 volunteers took time out of their day to serve in our community on the day of service. As the day came to an end a feeling of unity and gratitude settled over the town of Eatonville.

The service rendered left a lasting impression. When you see new paint on the picnic shelter at Mill Pond Park or fewer leaves on the cemetery grounds, think of the great people in our community and take a moment to express gratitude for each of them.

Would you like to volunteer on the day of service next year? Do you have the perfect day of service project in mind?

Cruisers struggle against Montesano

By Skip Smith

Contributing Writer

The Eatonville Cruisers faced a formidable challenge as they went head-to-head with the No. 3-ranked Montesano Bulldogs, and turnovers and penalties proved to be insurmountable obstacles. The Cruisers were handed their second shutout loss of the season, falling 36-0 and struggling to replicate the resilience that led them to victory in the previous week’s game.

Eatonville's struggle with turnovers was starkly evident in this matchup, as they gave up possession a staggering eight times. Six interceptions and two fumbles limited the offense; with starting quarterback Hunter Klumpar, Griffin Clevenger, and Cole Fowler all being picked off one or more times.

Despite the adversity they faced, the Cruisers (3-3 overall, 1-1 Evergreen League) managed to find

Courtesy Justin Damasiewicz Eatonville’s Payton Hanly runs past the defender in the Cruisers game against Montesano this past Friday night. a few bright spots. The diversity of their passing game was notable, as nine different receivers contributed to the offensive effort. Additionally, they

boasted a 100-yard rusher in Payton Hanly, who led the team with 114 rushing yards.

On the defensive side, Eatonville displayed resilience by holding the

high-scoring Montesano Bulldogs to their lowest firsthalf total of the season at 24 points.

However, it was turnovers and penalties

that ultimately hindered the Cruisers' chances of making a comeback. In contrast to their previous week’s performance where they managed to overcome penalties for a win, the Cruisers found themselves unable to do so against the Bulldogs.

Head Coach Rex Norris remained optimistic, emphasizing the team’s effort and the contributions of younger players. Looking ahead, he acknowledged another challenging matchup on the horizon, stating, “Another tough task this week with a top-rated Orting team coming to town. The team looks to improve as we get to play at home this week, where we are undefeated so far this season.”

Eatonville will aim to reverse their fortunes when they return to their home field on Friday, Oct. 13, hosting their longtime rivals, the Orting Cardinals, at 7 p.m.

The final flourish is a pinch of sea salt flakes to balance the cookie's inherent sweetness. A little salt tends to make everything taste better, even sweets -- especially when chocolate is involved.

T

his is no ordinary chocolate chip cookie. While it has all the luscious aspects of a traditional chewy Toll House-style cookie, this cookie notches it up to another level with roasted almond butter, chunky dark chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Almond butter does wondrous things to the cookie. It's not as pronounced in flavor as peanut butter, which (in my opinion) easily overwhelms the flavor of a cookie.

Almond butter is stealthier; it adds a mellow, toasty, golden-buttery backdrop to the dough.

Meanwhile, chunks of dark chocolate stud the cookie, replacing the go-to chocolate chip. Many chocolate chips read "sweet" more than "chocolate." By chopping up a quality bar of dark chocolate, the overkill of sweetness is avoided, while the flavor of the chocolate

During halftime, the coaching staff emphasized the importance of improving fundamental skills, and the team responded. Hailey Courson continued her scoring spree with another goal in the 50th minute, assisted by Kennedy Noble.

Mary Van Eaton added to the tally with a stunning solo effort, striking the ball from outside the 18-yard box and finding the side netting in the 57th minute.

The final goal of the night was a product of teamwork, as Lily Lightfoot capitalized on an assist from Ashley Limbird.

In addition to their impressive offensive display, the Cruisers displayed defensive prowess, preventing the Hoquiam Grizzlies from making any significant advances.

Tierney Amaral, the Cruisers' goalkeeper, had a unique experience during the match, recording a shutout without even having to touch the ball once, a testament to the team's collective effort on the field.

OT VS. ELMA The Cruisers' winning momentum carried over to their next matchup against the Elma Eagles. In an intense contest, they secured a 1-0 victory in overtime.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl and set aside.

Cream the butter and sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Add the almond butter and mix until smooth.

Add the flour to the mixing bowl and mix until the ingredients are incorporated without overmixing.

Stir in the chocolate, including all the little pieces and dusty bits (they will melt into the batter).

Drop heaping tablespoons of the dough on baking sheets lined with parchment. Add a tiny pinch of sea salt flakes to each cookie. Bake until light golden in color, 13 to 15 minutes.

"What a great team win. Every single girl played so well last night — starters and substitutes alike. Our team has such great depth, and it has been so great to see the amount of growth and progress we’ve made in a few short weeks,” said Swartout.

The victory against Elma improved the Cruisers' record to 2-1 in 1A Evergreen League play and 5-3-1 overall. Swartout commended her team's defensive efforts against a formidable opponent.

"Defensively, we were very sound — Elma has great attackers, and we handled the challenge well," she said.

The game remained tied at 0-0 through regulation, with both teams creating scoring opportunities. However, the Cruisers seized their chance in the first overtime period. A wellexecuted throw-in by Kyleigh Backlund found its way into Elma’s 18-yard box, sailing over a defender’s head and deflecting off an Elma player. Kennedy Noble was perfectly positioned, anticipating the play, and was able to take a touch away from the keeper before slotting the ball into the corner to secure the win.
