Lady Cruisers Show Grit in Season Opener Under New Head Coach By Skip Smith
A
promising first possession quickly turned into a long night for the Eatonville High School girls’ basketball team as the Cruisers fell to Cascade Christian 5315 in their season opener Friday under new Head Coach Chelsea Caramandi. Eatonville scored the first basket of the game, but it was one of the few bright spots in the early going. Cascade Christian responded with a 17-0 run to close out the first quarter while capitalizing on Cruiser turnovers and controlling the boards. Eatonville committed 16 turnovers in the opening eight minutes and was outrebounded 9-4 as the Cougars built a 17-2 lead. The Cruisers continued to struggle offensively in the second quarter as Cascade Christian extended its advantage. Eatonville’s turnover count climbed and the rebounding deficit widened to 20-7 by halftime. The Cruisers trailed 28-5 at the break. “That was a tough opener for us. Turnovers and rebounding told the story,” Caramandi said. “In the second half we really locked in defensively and got them deep into the shot clock,

but we gave too many possessions right back with turnovers and secondchance looks. The effort was there, our girls competed, but we’ve got to play cleaner and more confident. We need to value the basketball and finish plays with a rebound. Those are fixable, controllable things, and we’ll get back to work and clean them up.” Cascade Christian put the game fully out of reach with a 13-0 run to

he Eatonville High School girls wrestling team opened its season Saturday at the Prairie Open and finished 21st out of 31 teams. The Cruisers sent a determined roster into a deep field and came away with one podium finish along with several early round wins. The highlight came at 105 pounds, where junior Najalia “Nala” Baublits rolled to the title match and placed second. Baublits went 3-1 on the day and delivered two dominant victories to reach the semifinals.
She opened with a 15-0 tech fall over South Kitsap’s Arielle Neghmouche, then pinned Bethel’s Victoria Aguilar in the quarterfinals. Baublits advanced again when Shelton’s Korie Cobb was forced to injury default late in the semifinal. In the final, Baublits was caught early by Tenino’s undefeated Elise Martinez and finished as the runner-up. At 100 pounds, Olivia Cole split her four matches and showed grit throughout her bracket.

he awesome first moose of Northwest Trek Wildlife Park stars in a new children’s picture book, “A Home for Chocolate: Based on the True Story of an Orphan Moose.” The author—who knew the animal personally—is Connie Anne Hellyer, a Seattle resident who grew up in Lakewood, Wash. Erin Hourigan of Portland, Ore. created full-color illustrations for the heart-warming narrative. “A Home for Chocolate” tells of the moose’s forest birth in Canada, early life in a rescue center, and rediscovery of moose ways in Northwest Trek Wildlife Park. The author is a daughter of the Park’s original donors, Dr. David Hellyer and his wife Connie. Remembered at Northwest Trek as “Doc,” David was pediatrician (1948-1973) to generations of Tacoma children and a founder of Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. His wife Connie helped bring Seattle Symphony performances to Tacoma and was one of the Park’s first docents. The couple was living on the property when the Park’s first moose arrived. Their encounters with the willful bull are part of the story. Connie Anne (who is named after her mother) recalls: “Chocolate was a formidable presence. Our family and guests had to edge past him as we went in and out of the driveway gate. That moose really wanted to get in!” Christy Cox, the book’s editor, says: “Chocolate’s story celebrates resilience and shows that loss and change, though difficult, may lead to a happy ending.”
The narrative nonfiction book, which is intended for children from 3 to 12, also includes Fun Facts and other educational material. “Most children today live in artificial environments,” observes Gordon Orians, University of Washington biology professor emeritus. “Chocolate’s true-life story will open a window to the natural world and the fascinating creatures that help sustain it.” Scientific advisors for the book include Prof. Orians; R. Terry Bowyer, professor
emeritus, University of Alaska-Fairbanks; Jeremy C. (Jerry) Haigh, professor emeritus, University of Saskatchewan; Northwest Trek Wildlife Park curator, Marc Heinzman; and Calgary Zoo curator (retired), Robert Peel. “A Home for Chocolate” has just been released by Fir Bough Press. It is available in all formats—e-book, paperback, and hardcover—from leading online booksellers. The author is honoring her parents and their legacy by donating all her proceeds from the book to the Northwest Trek Foundation - the nonprofit organization supporting the conservation, education, and recreation mission of the park.

This will help your loved ones access your electronic devices and online accounts more easily so they can manage your electronic affairs, according to your wishes, after you’re gone. Montana State University offers a Digital Assets Inventory Worksheet (see Montana.edu/estateplanning/ digitalsssetsworksheet.pdf) to help you get started.

Apple: If you’re an iPhone, iPad or Mac user, you should nominate a “legacy contact” who can access your Apple account’s data after you die. This is a secure way to give trusted people access to photos, files and messages. To set it up you’ll need an Apple device with a fairly recent operating system. iPhones and iPads need iOS or iPadOS 15.2 and MacBooks need macOS Monterey 12.1. For iPhones, go to settings, tap Sign-in & Security and then Legacy Contact. You can name one or more people, and they don’t need an Apple ID or device. You’ll have to share an access key with your contact. It can be a digital version sent electronically, or you can print a copy or save it as a screenshot or PDF. Take note that there are some types of files you won’t be able to pass on – including digital rights-protected music, movies and passwords stored in Apple’s password manager. Legacy contacts can only access a deceased user’s account for three years before Apple deletes the account. Google: Google takes a different approach with its Inactive Account Manager (see Support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546), which allows you to share your data with someone if
it notices that you’ve stopped using your account. When setting it up, you need to decide how long Google should wait – from three to 18 months - before considering your account inactive. Once that time is up, Google can notify up to 10 people. You can choose what types of data they can access - including emails, photos, calendar entries and YouTube videos. There’s also an option to automatically delete your account after three months of inactivity, so your contacts will Whave to download any data before that deadline.
“You can have your accounts either memorialized or deleted after you die if the companies get a valid request from a family member or friend” Facebook and Instagram: If you’re on Facebook or Instagram, both of which are owned by the parent company Meta, you can have your accounts either memorialized or deleted after you die if the companies get a valid request from a family member or friend. See Facebook.com/ help/1111566045566400 or Help. Instagram.com/264154560391256 for details. Meta also strongly recommends Facebook users add a legacy contact to look after your memorial accounts – see Facebook.com/ help/1070665206293088. Legacy contacts can do things like respond to new friend requests and update pinned posts, but they can’t read private messages or remove or alter previous posts. You can only choose one person, who also must have a Facebook account. Passwords: If you use a password manager – a service that creates, saves and manages passwords for all your online accounts – see if it has an emergency access feature. Some services, like Keeper, Bitwarden and NordPass, allow users to nominate one or more trusted contacts who can access your keys in case of an emergency or death.

Historical Society Launches Self-Guided Historic Walking Tour Submitted
E
atonville now offers a new window to the town's early beginnings in the form of a self-guided, historic walking tour. The Eatonville Main Street Association, a Washington State Main Street Program Affiliate, operating under the aegis of the South Pierce County Historical Society, received a grant from the Town of Eatonville to create the tour content and install nine interpretive signs along Mashell Avenue, the town's original main street. Walkers will be able to pick up a brochure at several locations, that will help them navigate the walk and proceed to each of the stops. In addition to the Town Hall at 201 Center St. W. and the Visitor's Center at 130 Mashell Ave. N., where off-street parking is available, brochures are being placed at several downtown businesses. The brochure includes a map of the route and the locations

Your package must already have a prepaid label and should be ready before your usual mail delivery time. This option is especially helpful during the holiday rush and can save time in line at the post office. Check addresses carefully One of the most common reasons for delayed delivery is an incorrect or incomplete address. Always confirm apartment numbers, unit identifiers, and ZIP codes.

The main part of the tour can be completed in a half-mile loop, while one additional stop at the south end of town takes walkers to two historic structures at Mill Pond Park near the Mashel River. For those who prefer to drive to that one, there's plenty of parking available. All the stops include a QR code to scan for a deeper dive into the human history of the town. Some fascinating vignettes of the town's early history are interpreted along the way, whether it's the Indigenous influence in the town's location, the first home, stage stop and trading post, the railroad and sawmill era, with its Japanese American contingent, the commitment to excellence in education, the first movie theater back in the era of silent films, the county's

Rogers Wins Title as Eatonville Takes Sixth at Patriot Dome Classic By Skip Smith
E
atonville opened its wrestling season Saturday at the Patriot Dome Classic at Washington High School and came away with a sixth place finish in a 14 team field. The Cruisers sent athletes into nearly every weight class and saw a mix of early round exits, deep consolation runs and a pair of top tier performances that anchored the team score. The day’s highlight came at 215 pounds, where Ethan Rogers went 5-0 and claimed the tournament title. Rogers pinned his three of his first four opponents, then closed out his run with a tight 1-0 decision over Stadium’s Ryder Sumner in the final. His performance produced 31 team points, the highest total for Eatonville. At 190 pounds, Jarin Ragazzo also delivered a strong tournament. Ragazzo opened by pinning teammate Mason Lang, then rolled through the bracket with a major decision and two more pins to reach the championship round. Curtis standout Eli Calderon stopped his run with a third period pin in the final. Ragazzo finished 4-1 on the day and took second with 26.5 team points. Eatonville earned two more podium finishes at 144. Aiden Hughey worked his way to fourth place with a 4-1 showing that included wins over Orting, Franklin Pierce and Curtis opponents. His lone setback
came in the quarterfinals, but he battled back through the consolation rounds to reach the placing matches. Teammate Karson Rhinehart finished sixth at the same weight. Rhinehart started with a bye and then recorded wins by decision and pin before dropping his semifinal match to eventual finalist Norman Anderson of Orting. Several Cruisers put together solid consolation runs even without final placements. At 132, Eatonville entered four wrestlers and got meaningful production from the group. Stephen Patton went 4-2 with three straight wins in the consolation bracket before falling in the consolation quarterfinals. Davin Goodenough opened with two first period pins before being bumped to the back side, where he was eliminated by Patton. Teagan
Croppi finished 3-2 with a pair of consolation wins, including a tech fall and a late second period pin. Phillip Buchholz rounded out the group at 0-2. At 138, Tallas Jez and Josiah Butolph each split their matches. Jez had two pins, including a first period fall in the opening round, before being knocked out in the second consolation round. Butolph collected a consolation pin of his own and finished 1-2. Charles Emery had a busy day at 190, going 4-2 and scoring 12.5 points. Emery picked up two pins, a tech fall and a medical forfeit as he worked through the bracket. His run ended in the consolation quarterfinals against Orting’s Kyle Armstrong. Teammates Mason Lang, Dean Williams and Jacob Cortez also competed at the
weight. Terrance McKimmey produced a pair of wins at 165 and reached the consolation quarterfinals. Nathan Smith added a pin in his opening match. At 175, Haven Rovang finished 1 2 with a first period pin against Orting’s Jacob Goff. In the lighter weights, Eatonville’s youngest wrestlers gained early season experience. At 106, Liam Vento, Donald Utke and Cjay Russell all competed. Vento and Russell each picked up a pin in the consolation rounds. Logan Stead went 0-2 at 113. At 126, Landen Davis and Carter Dietsche logged matching 1-2 records with each securing a fall in the consolations. Eatonville also entered two wrestlers at 157 with Elijah Whatley and Kaelic Stecker each going 0-2. At 150, Asher Pruitt earned a pin in the consolation bracket. Mason Kinley and Austin Arola rounded out the heavier weights with appearances at 215 and 285. The Cruisers left the Patriot Dome Classic with several bright spots on opening weekend and a clear picture of where experience and mat time will fuel improvement. The strong showings from Rogers, Ragazzo, Hughey and Rhinehart set the tone for the season while the rest of the roster gained valuable early season reps against a deep field.
Eatonville Shows Fight and Progress in Season Debut By Skip Smith
E
atonville opened its boys’ basketball season last Wednesday night with a tough lesson on the glass, falling 68 to 35 to Cascade Christian in a nonleague matchup that turned lopsided early and never swung back the Cruisers’ way. Rebounding defined the night. Cascade Christian controlled the boards from the opening tip and built a double digit lead before Eatonville could settle in. The Cougars held a 16 to 5 edge on the glass in the first quarter and a 14 to 3 margin in the second. Those extra possessions fueled a 13 to 0 run that closed the opening period and put Eatonville in a 15 to 2 hole. The second quarter brought more of the same. Cascade Christian stretched its run with four quick points before the Cruisers scored again. Eatonville managed only eight points in the period and five came at the free throw line. The other three came from a Jake Brannon corner 3-point shot that briefly lifted the bench. Cascade Christian kept pouring it on and sent Eatonville to the locker room down 37 to 10. The second half, though, carried a different tone. Eatonville steadied itself and finally held ground in the rebounding battle. The Cruisers edged the Cougars 8 to 6 on the boards in the third quarter and found a better rhythm offensively with 14 points. They still trailed 56 to 24 entering
the fourth but their energy changed. Eatonville settled in during the final period. The Cruisers matched Cascade Christian’s energy, traded a few baskets and put together a late 7 to 0 run that drew a cheer from the visiting crowd and showed a team still fighting despite the deficit. Amari Samuel led Eatonville with 10 points. Brannon added 9, hitting two of his four attempts from long range. Brannon and Nash Sherrard shared the team lead with five rebounds each. Head coach Josh Bennett said the scoreboard did not reflect the strides he saw. "I thought we showed a lot of growth and maturity in this game. Our culture is in a great spot and our team is on the same page. That is a great feeling as a coach," Bennett said. "Everyone is going to look at the scoreboard and see a final score. What they do not see is the growth of our group and the growth of our program that is happening internally. We are very grateful to keep growing together and excited for the opportunity to compete in four games next week." Bennett acknowledged that rebounding has been a long term challenge. "Rebounding has been an Achilles heel of the program in recent years. It is something we have stressed at practice and will continue to build and grow on. Our team fought extremely hard on the boards and honestly did not get rewarded how we should have. I know we will bounce back."
He also credited the opposition. "Hats off to Cascade Christian. They are a very skilled and physical team. Coach Shackett does a great job with his program. It was a great first game for us to learn and grow together." Eatonville’s schedule ramps up quickly. The Cruisers return home Monday, Dec. 8

Despite the difficult start, Caramandi said the team’s mindset remains focused on growth. “The effort was there,” she said. “We just have to keep building.” Eatonville now turns to a demanding stretch of games this week. The Cruisers travel to Centralia on Monday, return home Tuesday for their home opener against Orting, head to Olympia on Wednesday to face W. F. West, and close the week on Friday at Foss High School.

Welcome to tales of Tahoma, a column about the mighty volcano tong known as Tahoma by the Indigenous peoples of this region and now commonly called Mount Rainier. This week we’re reprint-
ing a story first published in the Sea Coast Echo of Bay St. Louis Mississippi in 1909. Tacoma was a bustling city of 80,000 people at the time. Eatonville had 750 residents. Flowery Victorian language was a popular newspaper writing style back then, which might explain why the mountain is described here as an octopus that squirts ice water from its “huge wrinkled arms,” presumably its glaciers. MOUNT RAINIER FROM GOD’S ROOF GARDEN
A
frozen octopus of enormous bulk whose glittering armored body rises three miles into the sky, with twenty or more huge wrinkled arms reaching down among thousands of acres of the most gorgeous and luxuriant wild flowers, to squirt, from each finger tip, a river of ice water into the valley below! Surely a quotation from the “Arabian Nights!” Or a ghost tale to frighten children on Halloween! But no, however figurative, this is a true statement of an actual fact. There really exists such an ice-armored octopus in these United States. It is a justifiable description of the most interesting mountain in Uncle Sam’s dominions, and perhaps in the world. Mount Rainier is in the state of Washington, 56 miles southwest of Tacoma. It is one of that celebrated range of volcanoes which were supposed to be extinct until, within the year, Lassen peak broke forth again. Rainier, though supporting one of the most remarkable singlepeak glacial systems in the world, emits steam from certain crevices, evidence of continued internal heat. Seen from Tacoma or Seattle,
the vast mountain appears to rise directly from sea level, so insignificant seem the ridges about its base. Yet these ridges themselves are of no mean height. They rise 3,000 to 4,000feet above the valleys that cut through them, and their crests average 6,000 feet in altitude. Thus at the southwest entrance to the Mount Rainier National park, which congress created to protect this natural marvel from private encroachment, the elevation above sea level is 2,000 feet, while Goat mountain, close by, rises to an altitude of 6,045 feet. It’s a Veritable Colossus. But so colossal are the proportions of the great volcano that they dwarf even mountains of this size and give them the appearance of mere foothills. In height Rainier is in the United States only to Mount Whitney. Mount Rainier stands, in round numbers, 10,000 feet high above its immediate base and covers 100 square miles of territory. In shape it is not a simple cone taper-
“In glowing contrast to this marvelous spectacle of ice are the gardens of wild flowers surrounding the glaciers, pushing, wherever the rock and ice will permit, up the giant slopes.” ing to a slender, pointed summit like Fujiyama, the great volcano of Japan. It is rather a broadly truncated mass resembling an enormous tree stump with spreading base and irregularly broken top.
Its life history has been a varied one like all volcanoes. Rainier has built up its cone with the materials ejected by its own eruptions - with cinders and steam-shredded particles and lumps of lava and with occasional flows of liquid lava that have solidified into layers of hard basaltic rock. At one time it attained an altitude of not less than 16,000 feet, if one may judge by the steep inclination of the lava and cinder layers visible in its flanks. Then followed a great explosion that destroyed the top part of the mountain and reduced its height by some 2,000 feet. The volcano was left beheaded, with a capacious hollow crater surrounded by a jagged rim. Later on this great cavity, which measured nearly three miles across from south to north, was filled by two small cinder cones. Successive feeble eruptions added to their height until at last they formed together a low rounded dome - the eminence that now constitutes the mountain’s summit. The higher portions of the old crater rim rise to elevations within a hundred feet of the summit and, especially when viewed from below, stand out boldly as separate peaks that mask and seem to overshadow the central dome. HARD TO ESTABLISH ALTITUDE The altitude of the main summit has for many years been in doubt. Several figures have been announced from time to time, no two of them in agreement with each other; but all of these, it is to be observed, were obtained by more or less approximate methods In 1913 the United States geological survey, in connection with its topographic surveys of the Mount Rainier National park, made a new series of measurements by triangulation methods at close range. These give the peak an elevation of 14,408 feet. This last figure, it should be added, is not likely to be in error by more than a foot or two and may with some confidence be regarded as

The “Ice Armored Octopus” that Looms Over Us All
final. Greater exactness of determination is scarcely practicable in the case of Mount Rainier, as its highest summit consists actually of a mound of snow, the height of which naturally varies somewhat with the seasons and from year to year. This crowning snow mound, which was once supposed to be the highest point in the United States, still bears the proud name of Columbia Crest. It is essentially a huge snowdrift or snow’ dune heaped up by the furious westerly winds. Six great glaciers originate at the very summit. They are the Nisqually, the Ingraham, Emmons, the Winthrop, the Tahoma and the Kautz glaciers. But many of great size and stateliness are born of the snows in rock pockets or cirques— ice-sculptured bowls of great dimensions and ever-increasing depth —from which they merge
into the glistening armor of the huge volcano. The most distinguished of these are the Cowlitz, the Paradise, the Frying Pan, the Carbon, the Russell, the North and South Mowich, the Puyallup and the Pyramid glaciers.
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
REMARKABLE GLACIERS More than twenty glaciers, great and small, clothe Rainier; rivers of ice. With many of the characteristics of rivers of water, roaring at times over precipices like waterfalls; rippling and tumbling down rocky slopes—veritable noisy cascades; rising smoothly up on hidden rocks to foam, brook like, over its lower edges. Each glacier, whether originating at the bright summit or in vast springlike cirques, begins in even, immaculate snow. A thousand feet or so below it attains sufficient density and weight to acquire movement. Here, looking down into a crevasse, one sees nothing but clean snow, piled in layers; slightly compacted and loosely granular snow, called neve in the Swiss Alps. Gradually, as the current sweeps along, it compacts, under the pressure and the surface meltings, into hard, dense, blue ice. In glowing contrast to this marvelous spectacle of ice are the gardens of wild flowers surrounding the glaciers, pushing, wherever the rock and ice will permit, up the giant slopes. These flowery spots are called parks - Spray park. St. Andrews park, Henry’s hunting ground. Paradise, Summerland and many others. The lower altitudes of the park are densely timbered with fir, cedar, hemlock. maple, alder, cottonwood and spruce. The forested areas, extending to an altitude of about 6,500 feet, gradually decrease in density of growth after an altitude of 4,000 feet is reached.

harles (Bud) born February 14, 1943 in Vinita, Oklahoma to William and Velma Easling, passed away peacefully at home November 4, 2025, surrounded by his family, just weeks after being diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. In 1950 William and Velma moved their children, Bill, Wanda, Charles, Velma Jeane, and Shirley, from their farm in Oklahoma, to Oregon, eventually settling in Florence where Charles graduated from Siuslaw High School class of 1961. After graduation he found the woman who would become his wife for over 49 years. He would often recount meeting Peggy Price on a blind date, May 9, 1962, and ‘fell in love at first sight’, describing exactly what she wore and even the colors of her clothes. They were married December 19, 1962 and soon moved to California, where their daughter, Sandra Lynn was born in 1964. While living there he worked for H W Loud Machine Works, where he learned his trade as a machinist. W hil e v i s i t in g f amily in Washington State, Bud was encouraged to apply for a job at Boeing. He accepted the opportunity and moved his wife and daughter to Tacoma. Their son, Perry Jay, was born there in 1967. Bud went on to build a long and successful career as a machinist working at Boeing for more than thirty years until his retirement in April 1999. His family grew over the years, and they remained the center of his world. He attended every event and gathering he could. Daughter Sandy married Ken Doyle whom he called “my other son“. Grandkids Kenny and Megan arrived and then, Perry’s daughter, Trisha. Perry met, then married Colleen and she became “the other daughter”. Two more grandchildren, Steve and Heather, joined the family. Charles had a total of 12 great-grandchildren. He said they were his ‘joyful noise’. He had a lifelong love of woodworking, carpentry and

From fine whittling carvings, de t ail ed wood wor k ing and furniture building to mechanical work building, rebuilding and repairing offroad jeeps and at times motorcycles. It seemed he could repair anything – “If Dad can’t fix it, no one can”. A crafty man, he and Peggy worked together on many projects; molding clay and constructing many Santa Faces for holiday wall décor, woodcraft projects of all kinds including intarsia were displayed at their home and shared with those they loved. After his retirement, they settled outside Eatonville, Washington, where they built their log home with the help of family and friends. He approached every project with precision, patience, and a perfectionist’s attention to detail. Bud and family suffered a profound loss in 2012, when Peggy passed away after her battle with ovarian cancer.
An avid outdoorsman, and longtime member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Mt. Rainier Chapter, he enjoyed spending time in the mountains, along the coast and on the water, hunting, camping, fishing, clam digging. He also enjoyed jeeping, riding motorcycles, playing cards, family dinners, anything that would bring family and friends together. Chuck met his second wife, Sandy Saxon, at a class reunion in 2013. They later married in March of 2015. Chuck and Sandy enjoyed many years living in the log home Chuck built. Charles was a very loving family man with a big heart. His influence will be remembered by all whose lives he brightened. Charles was predeceased by his parents William and Velma, his brother Bill, first wife Peggy and grandson Steve. A Celebration of Life will be held in late June 2026.
A proud veteran, Cliff served four years in the U.S. Navy, bravely participating in the South Pacific during World War II, where he earned four battle stars for his service. After returning home, Cliff began a long and devoted career in the logging industry, a field he loved deeply. Through dedication and strong leadership, he rose to become a camp superintendent, serving in locations including Lester, Washington; Indonesia; the Philippines; Liberia; and Thorn Bay, Alaska. His work took him across the
Cliff McCarty world, but he eventually settled back in Eatonville, Washington, where he retired.

Cliff was preceded in death by his daughter, Bobbie McCarty; his sister, Joan VanCleve; his mother, Sally Carlson; and his father, William McCarty.
Cliff’s gentle spirit, warm heart, and unwavering devotion to his family and his work touched all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
