Disenchanted! Presented this weekend

Mayor provides monthly update

Courtesy Linda Joss This weekend, Woodland Park Players presents Disenchanted! This hilariously subversive not-for-kids hit musical tells the tale of what happens when the storybook princesses come to life to share their truths about Happily Ever After. Disenchanted features a multicultural cast of 15 women from ages 20-60 and all over the area. “This show is such an exhilarating experience to be a part of both as cast and audience member. There is something for everyone at every age. It is truly a show not to be missed!” said Amanda Cirie who plays Cinderella. Jessica Noeldner is Sleeping Beauty and echoed her castmate saying, “There’s no topic in this play that any woman hasn’t dealt with personally. By satirizing these very serious issues, we bring not only an awareness to them, but a new sense of empowerment as well.” Profits from ticket sales are donated to the arts programs in Seattle Public Schools. Producer Linda Joss said, “We believe in the power of art and know it is good for children’s bodies and souls.” To date, Woodland Park Players has donated over $35,000. Performances are Nov. 3-5 at Magnuson Theater 7120 62nd Ave NE and tickets range from $15-$30. www.brownpapertickets.com/event/6146952 Also check the website for details about next year’s musical My Fair Lady. Auditions are this month and performances in March 2024. www.woodlandparkplayers.org/

Savvy Senior: Misleading Medicare Advantage ads: What to look out for

D

ear Savvy Senior, I’m currently enrolled in original Medicare but have been thinking about switching to a Medicare Advantage plan during the open enrollment period. Many of the Medicare Advantage ads I’ve seen offer lots of extra benefits beyond what traditional Medicare offers and no monthly premiums.

What are your thoughts?

Considering a Switch Dear Considering, Be very leery of the Medicare Advantage ads on TV, radio, social media and that come in the mail.

While many of these ads may tout free vision, hearing, dental and other benefits with zero monthly premiums, they aren’t always what they claim to be.

ADVANTAGE BASICS Medicare Advantage or MA plans (also known as Medicare Part C) are government approved health plans sold by private insurance companies that you can choose in place of original Medicare. The vast majority of Advantage plans are managed-care policies such as HMOs or PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of doctors in a geographic area. You can sign up for one of them during open-enrollment season from Oct. 15 through Dec. 7.

MA plans have exploded in popularity in recent years as insurers have flooded the airways with advertisements, often by celebrity

pitchmen, that promote low-cost options with lots of extra benefits.

But be aware that the Federal government has deemed many claims in MA ads fraudulent and misleading. Some ads imply that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services endorses or prefers a specific plan. Others promise more cost savings than you really get. And if you choose the wrong plan, your doctor may not be a member of that plan’s network, or you may end up paying out-of-pocket for medically necessary care.

This past September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began cracking down on these ads, but you still need to practice self-defense. Here are some tips to help you make a good decision.

Cover your needs: When

evaluating MA plans, make sure the one’s you’re considering cover the doctors you like and the health care facilities you normally go to. Also, make sure all of the prescription medications you take are on the drug plan’s formulary.

To help you compare plans, a good first step is to call the office managers of the doctors you use and find out which Advantage plans they accept, and which ones they recommend. Then go to the Medicare Plan Finder tool at Medicare.gov/plan-compare to compare plans in your area.

Understand the details: Some MA plans promote no monthly premiums, but the reality is that you are still responsible for your original Medicare costs including your Part B premium and deductibles and copays for covered services. Moreover,

you may have to pay more out-ofpocket if you see a doctor outside the network. Also, if the plan is an HMO, it generally doesn’t cover nonemergency care out of network, so an individual may be responsible for full costs. A PPO on the other hand, allows people to go out of network, but they generally have to pay more to do so.

Do some digging: Many MA plans tout free vision, hearing and dental benefits that are not covered by traditional Medicare, but these benefits are often limited.

For example, a plan that offers free dental coverage may cover only cleanings and x-rays. Extensive procedures such as root canals or caps may not be covered, or the plan may limit the dollar amount it pays.

Find out the coverage details so you’re not surprised later.

Get help: Reach out to your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) at ShipHelp.org or call 877-839-2775. These are nonprofit programs that provide unbiased one-on-one Medicare counseling and assistance.

You can also report any misleading MA claims to the Senior Medicare Patrol Resource Center at SMPResource.org or by calling 800447-8477.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

BOY’S TENNIS The Eatonville Cruisers boy’s tennis team wrapped up its regular season and competed in the League Tournament.

In their final match of the regular season, the Cruisers faced a tough challenge as they fell short to Charles Wright by a score of 3-2. Head Coach MaryAnn Baker emphasized that the score does not fully reflect the closely contested matches. Austen Quirie won two sets while playing as the No. 2 singles player. The No. 3 doubles team, Dana Bazan and Jackson Rockey, clinched victory in a thrilling third set tiebreaker. The No. 1 doubles team of Brody Thirtyacre & AJ Lightfoot played against a competitive opponent. Jacob Golding and Nate Goode, the No. 2 doubles pair, exhibited great resilience by pushing their match to a third set tie-breaker, although they narrowly missed the win.

The league tournament, hosted at the University of Puget Sound on Oct. 26-27, presented an opportunity for the Cruisers to shine. Despite not having any seeded players, Eatonville secured representation at the upcoming District III tournament.

The League Tournament employed a unique format that placed the top

4 rated players or doubles teams into separate pools, while the remaining players and teams were determined by Waterfall draws.

This setup ensured ample playing time for all participants, as they competed against the members of their respective pools. The top two winners from each pool earned spots at the District III tournament.

Eatonville was thrilled to have two of its players qualify for the District Tourney. Carl Lucas, a sophomore, secured his place by defeating East Jefferson's Spencer Fordham and Ayden Bailey from Annie Wright Academy.

The other EHS entry into the District Tourney came from Eatonville's No. 1 doubles team, Thirtyacre and Lightfoot. They managed impressive wins against opponents from CWA and East Jefferson but finished second in their pool.

Jacob Golding and Nate Goode, the #2 doubles duo, placed 4th in their pool, with close matches against formidable opponents from Vashon and Cascade Christian.

Senior Austen Quirie, known for his strong serves and excellent footwork, faced tough competition in his pool, including a match against the #1 seed, Reid Martin from East Jefferson.

Prior to the game, the community came together to honor the 8 seniors in a touching pregame ceremony.

Kyleigh Backlund, Ella Gendreau, Nikia King, Kennedy Noble, Davany Olson, Alexa Ricketts, Ryan Stammen, and Hannah Zaragoza were recognized for their commitment and dedication to the Cruiser soccer team. The community extended its best wishes to these seniors for their future endeavors.

With the #3 seed secured, the Cruisers traveled to Vancouver on Tuesday. There, they will face the #2 seeded Seton Catholic Pirates in a crucial loser-out/winner to state game at 6 p.m. The stakes remain high as both teams vie for a chance to continue their journey towards a state championship.

to Elma and Tenino in their last two matches, both with 3-0 scores.

These losses contributed to their overall season record of 2-14. While the win-loss column may not shine brightly, the team showcased unwavering dedication and resilience throughout the season.

They started with hope and determination, securing a couple of early wins. However, they encountered tough opponents as the season progressed. Despite the setbacks, the Cruisers maintained their fighting spirit and teamwork. The valuable lessons learned and the bonds formed will lay the foundation for future success, as the team continues to grow and develop in the seasons to come.

In a bittersweet conclusion to their regular season, the Eatonville High School seniors took the field for the last time at B.W. Lyon Field, but their celebratory night ended on a somber note as the Eatonville Cruisers fell to the Elma Eagles 1-0. The match held significant implications, determining the seeding for the Southwest Washington District 4 playoffs.

Having previously bested the Eagles with a 1-0 victory earlier in the season, the Cruisers were eager to secure a win that would guarantee them the coveted 2nd place overall in the 1A Evergreen League and a home game in the playoffs.

However, Elma was equally determined to claim the same spot.

The Eagles controlled possession throughout the

Senior midfielder Addison Burgher launched a precise diagonal cross forward, which found the path of senior midfielder Aaleigha Weld.

Weld displayed her finesse, slotting the ball into the top corner of the net, giving the Elma Eagles a 1-0 lead.

Nancy Jean Gunn

August 21, 1944 – October 8, 2023 Born August 21, 1944 and passed away October 08, 2023 in her home, also known as The Double Gunn Ranch. Nancy loved horses her entire life. She was a member of The Tacoma Lariettes, and the Pinto, Paint, and All American Quarter Horse Association to name of few. She also competed at their shows in English and Halter classes. Nancy and her husband Tom established the Double Gunn Ranch in 1968, where they stood their AQHA racing stallion “Mr. Son of A Gunn” and offered horse boarding . Nancy was an accountant for several years . In her later years she enjoyed trips to the ocean, traveling with her cousin Steve, and visiting with her horse friends. Nancy was preceded in death by her husband Tommy Gunn.

At her request, she was laid to rest with no graveside services, at The New Tacoma Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Varsity Pizza Banquet room in Eatonville, on Saturday November 11th from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. All are welcome.

Memorial donations in her name can be made to The Eatonville High School Equestrian Team, 43117 Roedomsky Rd E., Eatonville WA 98328

since my election: • Started the Eatonville Vision Team (organization of town leaders focused on controlled growth).

• Along with Bob Walter, motivated creation of the Eatonville Main Street Association (town residents focused on revitalization of Mashell Avenue).

• Working with the school district to start a “student voice” program at the High School focusing on involving students in government and local business activities (still in process).

• Establishing an Eatonville Foundation.

• Met with state and federal legislators, establishing relationships for the future while looking for funding for Eatonville community projects including a new stadium, track and field. This was done in cooperation with the Eatonville School District.

• Supporting and coordinating airport issues through the newly formed Airport Commission.

• Working with the Eatonville School District on their five-year strategic plan.

• Motivated improvements to the Town Hall which will provide greater protection for police personnel.

• Utilized citizens groups to start simplifying the Eatonville Municipal Code.

• Hired a new town administrator and a full-time in-house planner instead of using contracted services.

• Negotiated transfer of control of the Mt Rainier Scenic Railroad (MRSR) to a local non-profit (supports comprehensive plan

goals).

• Worked with MRSR to ensure rail cycles were up and running for the 2023 season, thereby increasing Eatonville tourist traffic.

• Instrumental in the creation of the Mt. Rainier Corridor Team (focused on working with Mt. Rainier National Park and businesses in the corridor to improve business vitality).

Some goals we are still working on: • Improvements to the processes and procedures at the Town Hall.

• Completing the Comprehensive Plan.

• Simplifying the Eatonville Municipal Code.

• Getting the train into Eatonville.

This has been a comprehensive plan goal since 2000. We are the first administration to pursue and experience some success with this issue.

• Increasing products and services available to town citizens.

• Ensuring there is enough competition in town to ensure town citizens are paying competitive prices.

As you can see, we are extremely busy and have been very successful on many major issues. I want to encourage you to vote in this election. Voting in small, local elections is the best opportunity for your vote to really make a difference. A swing of 15 votes decided one race in the last election.

Town residents have an opportunity to make significant, positive changes in this election. Please research the candidates and remember to vote.

Thank you for your support.
