The Eatonville Town Council met on Oct. 9, and approved several resolutions to support the Eatonville Police Department.

These resolutions will allow the department to purchase brand new laptops, and enter into an extended technical support services agreement with South Sound 911.

Resolution 2023-KK allows the Eatonville Police Department to use funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) — which was signed into law by the federal government during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic — for the new equipment. The town of Eatonville received a total of $844,702 in ARPA funds.

“The laptops that we’ve been getting are surplus through Pierce County Sheriff’s Department. They were in service with that department an average of five to seven years, which in technology time, is ancient,” Chief Jason Laliberte said. “We did receive a new batch six months ago, and two of those have already failed.”

Laliberte said that the town attempted to implement an equipment replacement fund, but challenges popped-up which has created a lengthier process. The council unanimously passed Resolution 2023-KK.

Savvy Senior: Top TV remotes for elderly seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some simplified universal television remotes for seniors? My 88-yearold dad, who lives in a retirement community, has some dementia and gets confused with all the buttons on his remote. As a result, he keeps accidently reprograming his TV set.

Searching Son Dear Searching, Most modern TV remotes – that come with dozens of unnecessary buttons – can be confusing for anyone to operate but can be especially challenging for elderly seniors. Fortunately, there are several universal TV remotes available that are specifically designed for older adults with vision, memory, or confusion issues, as well as those that are technologically challenged. These remotes have bigger buttons and paired down options that make them much easier to see and use.

Here are three top choices to consider.

Senior-Friendly Remotes The two most popular simplified TV remotes on the market today are the “Flipper” and the “EasyMote.”

Both of these are infrared (IR) only remotes intended for those who use traditional cable/satellite boxes or their TV’s internal tuner. They are not designed for people who use streaming media devices and will not work with devices that are controlled via Bluetooth or radio

frequency (RF).

If you’re not sure how your dad’s TV is controlled, point his remote at the ground in the opposite direction from the device, and then press a button. If the remote still executes the command, then it’s using Bluetooth or Radio Frequency (RF) signals.

The Flipper, which is a top-rated remote, works with all major TVs including cable, satellite and digital TV receiver boxes. Available for $40 at FlipperRemote.com, this lightweight, remote has a tapered design that makes it easy to hold, and for simplicity it has only six large color-coded tactile buttons that are exposed to control the power, mute, volume up/down, and channel up/down.

Flipper also offers an optional “favorite channel” feature that will let you program up to 30 of your dad’s favorite channels and eliminate the useless channels he never watches. And it has a builtin keypad hidden behind a slidedown panel. This will give your dad the ability to directly punch in a desired channel, while keeping the remote simple and uncluttered.

The Flipper remote can also be locked to prevent accidental reprograming.

The other popular senior-friendly remote that’s worth a look is the EasyMote (see EasyMote.us), which is available on Amazon.com for $18. This lightweight remote, which controls most TV and cable boxes,

also comes with six large easy-tosee buttons (on/off, mute, channel up and down, and volume up and down buttons) that light up when pressed, which is nice feature if your dad watches TV in the dark. It also comes with a handy wrist strap to prevent misplacing the remote but can be removed anytime.

Multi-Device Remote If the Flipper or EasyMote is too basic for your dad’s entertainment system, another simplified remote that offers the ability to control multiple devices is the “GE Big Button 2-Device Universal Remote” – also available at Amazon.com for $9.

This IR remote has an ergonomic

design with large buttons that will let him control up to 2 audio/video components such as TV, cable/ satellite receiver, Blu-ray/DVD player, Roku box, Apple TV and other streaming media players and sound bars.

In addition to power, volume, channel, mute buttons and number pad, this remote also offers a previous channel, sleep timer and input buttons for convenience.

Voting begins for General Election Submitted

County elections statewide have distributed ballots for the state’s 4.8 million registered voters to participate in the 2023 General Election.

Ballots must be returned to a county drop box or voting center by 8 p.m. Nov. 7, or postmarked by Nov. 7 if mailed in, to be accepted.

All 39 counties have races on the ballot in this election, with 3,095 offices up for election and 128 local measures to be decided.

Secretary of State Steve Hobbs encourages all voters to use the state’s comprehensive system of trustworthy resources to participate in this election. State and county elections officials provide voters’ pamphlets with election information to every registered voter’s home address.

Voters can vote independently and securely using the 590 official drop boxes and voting centers administered by county governments. All voters can use VoteWA.gov to check their ballot status and sign up for cellphone text updates as their ballots are processed.

“We work hard to ensure your vote is safe and secure before, during, and after every election,” Hobbs said. “Every voter in Washington can be confident that when they use that county ballot box or the mail to submit their ballot on time, their

voice will be heard.”

For the first time, the statewide Voters’ Pamphlet includes expanded resources voters can use to learn more about the state’s budget and fiscal decisions by internet or phone. Statewide Voters’ Pamphlets are available in English, Spanish, and audioonly versions at the Secretary of State’s website, which also has King County editions available in Chinese and Vietnamese.

Voters who have not yet registered can still participate in the Nov. 7 General Election.

Online registration via VoteWA. gov or registration forms submitted by mail must be received by Oct. 30. In-person registration at county elections offices is also available until voting closes at 8 p.m. Nov. 7.

“This election is an opportunity to make important local decisions in every county across the state,” Hobbs said. “Washington’s elections are fair and transparent, and our priority is to continue providing trustworthy and convenient access to empower voters in every community.”

Washington’s Office of the Secretary of State oversees a number of areas within state government, including managing state elections, registering corporations and charities, and governing the use of the state flag and state seal.

COUNCIL Page 1Æ The department is authorized to spend $26,308.59 from Eatonville’s ARPA funds to purchase six new laptops — one per office, and one backup. The Panasonic CF-33 Toughbooks cost about $3,128 each, and six premium keyboards for the laptop total $2,519.70. Service bundle with warranties is expected to cost another $2,628.42.

With all but one vote in favor, the council also passed Resolution 2023-LL. Councilmember Bill Dunn explained how the police department requires specific round-the-clock needs, which the current information

technology provider — Blacksheep — is not meeting the needs of.

Councilmember Dunn added that Blacksheep also fails to address issues in-person in a timely manner.

“They didn’t provide any assistance outside of a 9 to 5 day,” Laliberte said.

“They were not as proficient with a lot of the programs that we use through South Sound 911.”

Laliberte explained how there were several instances where the Eatonville Police Department had to go directly to South Sound 911 and correct issues. A motion was added to include a $2,500 cap of the agreement for the 2023-2024 year, with an increase of five percent annually thereafter.

Glen Simons

January 31, 1932 - October 13, 2023 Glen Simons passed away at age 91 in Puyallup, WA on 10/13/23. Glen was born in St. Paul, MN 1/31/32 and adopted at birth by George and Bonnie Simons.

Local author wrote first book

5

By Janet C. Mark

A local 90-year-old author, Dorthea B. Jacobsen, wrote a book for the first time, which was released earlier this year.

The book is about her life and the people she knows. Jacobsen used to write poems for the Dispatch paper when the paper had a poetry section for a while. Two years ago, Jacobsen decided to write and publish a book on poems and short stories about her life and the people she knows.

When asked what made her decide to write a book, Jacobsen says, “I decided to years ago to publish my poems and went around and asked people I know how to get published.”

Jacobsen appears to enjoy sharing her poems with the world.

The book was two short stories, a memoir, and 109 poems. The poems Jacobsen wrote are the poems she began writing since 1980.

“I’ve been writing poems since the third grade when my teacher introduced them in the classroom, and I’ve been reading and writing poems since,” she said.

Jacobsen decided to further her education in writing by taking some writing classes at Pierce College in Fort Steilacoom.

Jacobsen also seems to enjoy studying other poets and stated that Robert Frost is her favorite poet because she can understand what Frost wrote about in his poems, while other poets tend to have their readers guessing what they are writing about.

Compiled By Skip Smith

“Yes, I’m interested in writing more, and I’ve got more poems I haven’t published yet,” she said when asked if she will write and publish more books.

The book is titled “Bringing the Love,” and it is available for purchase on Amazon. The book can be purchased in hardcover and digital versions. The cover of the book has a picture of Jacobsen herself in her younger years.

Boys Tennis In boys' high school tennis action last week, the Eatonville Cruiser team faced off in two exciting matches.

On Oct. 17, the Eatonville Boys' tennis team took on East Jefferson (Chimicum & Port Townsend) despite encountering late rain. Reid Martin of East Jefferson secured a victory for his team in a match against Carl Lucas at No. 1 singles. Martin, a senior with previous State competition experience, proved to be a formidable opponent, ultimately outplaying Carl in a well-fought match. However, Eatonville managed to clinch one win with their first doubles team, composed of Brody Thirtyacre & AJ Lightfoot. They dominated the match, winning swiftly with a score of 6-0, 6-1. Despite the weather challenges, this match served as a valuable confidence booster and allowed Thirtyacre & Lightfoot to refine their strategies and point setups. As the courts became increasingly wet due to the rain, the match was called off for player safety, and no rescheduling will occur.

Two days later, on Oct. 19, the Eatonville Cruiser boys' tennis team triumphed over Annie Wright in a thrilling 3-2 victory. Austen Quirie displayed SHORTS Page 7Æ

FOOTBALL Page 1Æ completing 11-of -13 passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns. The team showed discipline with zero turnovers and minimal penalties, committing only four infractions.

The game’s tone was set early, as the Cruisers wasted no time. On their first possession, a 60-yard drive, aided by a gutsy fake punt by punter Griffin Clevenger, led to senior Boedy Porter’s 3-yard touchdown run. The conversion attempt fell short, putting Eatonville ahead 6-0.

Eatonville’s stifling defense forced the Eagles into a quick three-and-out, granting them excellent field position.

Another fake punt, this time connecting with Riley McFadden for a 35-yard gain, set the stage for senior Evan Wimbles’ 5-yard touchdown run. Despite a failed conversion attempt, the Cruisers extended their lead to 12-0.

The Eagles’ struggles continued as McFadden showcased his versatility, intercepting a pass and sprinting 65 yards for a pick-six. Colton Herbrand’s extra point put the Cruisers ahead 19-0.

Eatonville’s offensive onslaught remained relentless as they executed a brilliantly deceptive trick play. In this ingenious maneuver, Klumpar pitched the ball to Payton Hanly, who then delivered a precision pass to Clevenger, resulting in a remarkable 44-yard touchdown. Although the ensuing conversion attempt fell short, the scoreboard still displayed a commanding 25-0 lead for Eatonville.

During the Eagles’ subsequent possession, Eatonville’s Boedy Porter evidently wasn’t content with just scoring the opening touchdown of the evening. In a pivotal moment, with Elma facing a challenging 4th and 8 from their own 37-yard line, Jacob Meadows received the snap and attempted to punt the ball. However, Porter’s determination and agility shone through as he broke through the left side of the Eagle line, successfully blocking the punt and setting up excellent field position. Capitalizing on this opportunity, Klumpar connected with junior Michael Stogsdill for another touchdown, although the extra point

attempt unfortunately veered wide right, leaving the score at 31-0 at halftime.

After the break, the Eagles hoped to stage a comeback, but the Cruisers’ defense held firm, forcing another punt.

A balanced Eatonville offense led by Klumpar found junior Ky Nation for a 10-yard touchdown pass, and this time the extra point was good, expanding the lead to 38-0.

Eatonville’s defense continued to dominate, denying the Eagles any points and forcing a turnover on downs.

Freshman Cole Fowler led the Cruisers on a 10-play drive culminating in senior Max Henley’s 2-yard touchdown run, bringing the final score to 44-0.

Eatonville’s performance on the field was a testament to their remarkable offensive balance, with 25 rushing attempts and 22 passes, culminating in their highest point total of the season. This exceptional showing handed Elma their highest point total conceded this season.

During the game, the Cruisers displayed an impressive depth in their offensive lineup. Eleven different players had their turn carrying the ball, showcasing the team’s versatility.

Notably, senior Dylan Norman shone as he led the team with an impressive 86 yards gained on 10 carries.

The receiving corps also demonstrated their diversity, with a total of nine players contributing to the passing game. This highlighted the team’s wide array of talents. Among these skilled receivers, junior Michael Stogsdill emerged as a standout, making a significant impact with four catches for 61 yards and a welldeserved touchdown.

Defensively, the Cruisers held the Eagles to just 156 yards of total offense, their lowest of the season and marking Elma’s first scoreless game of the season.

After securing an impressive victory, the Cruisers are set to wrap up the regular season with a Friday night showdown at historic Olympic Stadium in Hoquiam, facing off against the Hoquiam Grizzlies. The Cruisers are in high spirits after a memorable Senior Night performance and are eager to carry their winning momentum into the playoffs.

Cruisers split two soccer games, wrap up regular season this week

By Skip Smith Contributing Writer

The Eatonville Cruisers girls soccer team had an eventful week, splitting their two matches with a loss and a thrilling win.

On Tuesday, the Cruisers faced Montesano and came up short with a 0-2 loss.

"We felt the score didn't reflect how close the game was — as we had many opportunities to score and just couldn't put it away,” said interim head coach Machaela Swartout .

In their Thursday night match against Hoquiam, the Cruisers faced a much-improved opponent and engaged in a tightly contested battle. Despite amassing around 30 shots on goal, the ball seemed elusive until they finally broke

through. The match concluded with a 2-2 tie in regulation, leading to a penalty shootout. The Cruisers emerged victorious, winning 4-2 in penalties, thanks to the stellar goalkeeping of Tierney Amaral and successful penalty kicks by Haley Courson, Mary Van Eaton, Caedence Dunn, and Ryan Stammen, who scored the clinching goal.

With two regular-season games remaining, the Cruisers are set to defend their home turf. On Monday, they faced the Elma Eagles, and on Wednesday, they will wrap up the week against the Tenino Beavers. Both opponents had previously been shut out by the Cruisers earlier in the season. Both matches will be held at B.W. Lyon Field. The Tenino match starts at 6 p.m.

The Eatonville Cruiser cross country team showcased their determination and skill at the 1A Evergreen League Championships held at Oaksridge Golf Course in Elma. Both the boys and girls teams secured impressive second-place overall finishes.

Boys Results: The boys' team delivered stellar performances, with many achieving personal records. Leading the charge, Colton Rush took the second-place spot with a remarkable time of 17:34.

Joe Mueller followed closely behind in sixth place, clocking in at 17:45, and Benjamin Bernt secured the tenth spot with a time of 18:13. The team's strong finish continued with Owen Van Eaton at 13th place (19:22), Joe Callon at 14th (19:29 - Personal Record), Titus Lowe at 15th (19:33 - Personal Record), Mark Nueva at 16th (19:34 - Personal Record), and Ben Morrish at 19th (19:48 - Personal Record). Daniel Hamilton placed 22nd with a time of 20:03, while Kodiak Hoskins (26th, 21:25) and Micah Vannier (30th, 22:41) also contributed to the team's success.

Jasper Beck achieved a Personal Record with a time of 25:00, placing 37th.

Girls Results: The girls' team also excelled, with standout performances from Grace Coonrod, who secured the fourth spot with a Personal Record time of 20:07, and Cheyanne Price, finishing sixth with a Personal Record time of 22:05. Bridget Stumph came in 13th place (24:14), and Hannah Bieker achieved a Personal Record with a time of 27:59, placing 18th.

McKenzie Steele also set a Personal Record, finishing with a time of 39:51.

District Championships Bound: The boys' team will see nine of their runners advance to the district championship, showcasing their depth and strength. These runners include Colton Rush, Joe Mueller, Benjamin Bernt, Owen VanEaton, Joe Callon, Titus Lowe, Mark Nueva, Ben Morrish, and Daniel Hamilton.

On the girls' side, five talented athletes will move on to the district championships, representing the team's dedication and potential.

Grace Coonrod, Cheyanne Price, Bridgett Stumph, Hannah Bieker, and McKenzie Steele will compete at the upcoming district championships.

The District 4 Championships are scheduled for Thursday and will take place at the Lewis River Golf Course in Woodland.
