Eatonville’s Andersen, doubles team of Bickford & Meyer earn state tennis berths
By Skip Smith
Writer
The Eatonville Cruisers girls tennis team is sending two entries to the WIAA 1A State Tournament after a gutsy showing at the District III Tournament this past week, with senior Bailey Andersen in singles and the doubles team of seniors Lillian Bickford and Alayna Meyer each punching their tickets to state with third-place finishes.
Andersen, the No. 2 seed from the South Puget Sound League (SPSL), bounced back from an early loss to string together three straight victories, including a revenge win over a top-seeded rival from Steilacoom. Her path to state began with a first-round bye but quickly turned uphill as she fell to North Kitsap’s No. 2 player, 5-7, 2-6. That loss sent her to the consolation bracket, where she faced elimination in every match that followed.
She responded with poise and power.
First, Andersen defeated Foss’s top player, 6-2, 6-4, to secure a spot in Saturday’s action. In the morning, she wasted no time against Sequim’s No. 1, rolling to a 6-1, 6-2 win to set up a high-stakes rematch with Steilacoom’s No. 1 seed. The two had battled in a grueling three-hour league championship the week prior, a match Andersen narrowly lost.
This time, the result wasn’t close.
Andersen dismantled the SPSL champion 6-1, 6-2 to clinch her berth to state. She was later awarded third place after her final opponent withdrew due to illness.
Meanwhile, the doubles team of Bickford and Meyer, seeded fourth from the SPSL, carved out a dramatic run of their
own. The duo opened the tournament with a commanding 6-0, 6-2 win over Kingston before falling to eventual district champions Bainbridge in the quarterfinals. That loss sent them into the consolation bracket, where their next challenge was bittersweet: a matchup with Eatonville’s own No. 2 team of Tia Schanbeck and Tierney Amaral.
Amaral and Schanbeck had dropped their opening match to Olympic in two close sets (3-6, 5-7). Bickford and Meyer advanced past their teammates in a tight 6-4, 3-6, 10-5 contest, then carried that momentum
into Saturday.
On the second day of the tournament, the Eatonville pair edged out North Mason’s No. 3 team, 6-3, 6-4, before grinding out a three-set win over North Mason’s No. 2 duo, 6-1, 3-6, 10-7. They clinched their state berth and third place overall with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Fife’s No. 2 team.
Perhaps the most memorable moment of the tournament came late Saturday, when Andersen secured her trip to state less than a minute after Bickford and Meyer sealed theirs. From opposite sides of the tennis center, the Eatonville teammates
celebrated together—state-bound, united, and victorious.
“I am just really proud of how all the girls played this week,” Head Coach Alex Christensen said. “This district is the home of so many great players and teams. We had to level up this week and we did.”
The WIAA 2A Girls State Tennis Tournament will be held May 23-24 at the Nordstrom Tennis Center on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle.
With two entries heading to the biggest stage in high school tennis, the Cruisers are ready to keep proving they belong.

The Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is set to cut 12 federally funded positions for the 2026-2027 budget biennium.
On Monday, Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney Mary Robnett told the Public Safety Com-mittee that 12 full-time positions will have to be cut as a result of no more American Rescue Plan Act dollars coming to the department in 2026 and beyond.
ARPA funding went toward the office’s felony case backlog that totaled 2,500 in early 2022. That number is now around 1,800, which Robnett said is closer to normal levels.
The 12 positions set to be cut will save the county approximately $3.35 million and reduce the department’s largest division – the criminal division – by 6.5%. The criminal division in-cludes 197 full-time positions, representing 65% of the total 263 positions within the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
Robnett said her office has kept positions vacant in anticipation of ARPA funding drying up. However, the prosecuting attorney’s office is handling growing issues with fewer staff. For instance, attorneys are now handling more serious cases than in previous years. Last year, 54% of the 7,155 referrals Robnett’s office received were violent crimes, tying 2021 for high-est percentage post COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Robnett's presentation, the implementation of police body-worn
cameras has also significantly increased attorneys’ workload as they see more evidence to review for cases. Storage space within the prosecuting attorney’s office’s system is running out with all the bodyworn camera footage as well.
“We’re running out of storage space. We get hard drives for our attorneys to take the discov-ery storage to work on a case, so that they’re not working on the system because it would slow it down,” Robnett said during the committee meeting. The department has not been able to keep up staffing levels compared to justice partners. Between 2000 and 2018, the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office had 0% growth compared to its justice partners. Between 2000 and 2027, the office’s growth will be at 15% due to the removal of the ARPA positions. This represents half the growth of the department’s justice partners.

Time for dessert? Add bananas for extra taste
By MetroCreative
Adding bananas to a dessert increases its creamy texture and richness. When sautéed, bananas’ sweet taste grows even sweeter. Such is the case with the following recipe for “Roast Banana with Maple Pecans” from Elisabeth M. Prueitt and Chad Robertson’s “Tartine” (Chronicle Books).
Roast Banana with Maple Pecans
Makes 4 to 6 servings
■ 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
■ 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
■ Pinch of salt
■ 2 medium bananas, peeled
■ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
■ 1 cup Maple-Glazed Pecans (see below)
Parfait (see below)
In a sauté pan, heat the butter over high heat until it foams and the foam subsides. Add the brown sugar and salt and stir into the butter with a wooden spoon. Add the bananas and sauté, turning as needed, until soft on all sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir the vanilla into the pan juices, and spoon the pan juices over the bananas. Let the bananas cool in the pan until they can be handled, then cut cross-wise into 1⁄4inch thick slices.
Make the parfait as directed. Coarsely chop the pecans. Gently fold the banana slices and pecans into the mixture just before the whipped cream is fully incorporated. Freeze as directed.
Maple-Glazed Pecans
■ Makes 2 cups
■ 2 tablespoons maple syrup
■ 2 tablespoons light or dark corn syrup
■ 2 tablespoons sugar
■ 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
■ 2 cups pecan halves
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper on a nonstick liner.
In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, corn syrup, sugar, and salt and mix well. Add the pecans and toss to coat evenly with the syrup mixture. Turn the contents of the bowl onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
Toast the nuts, stirring every few minutes with a heatproof rubber spatula or a wooden spoon once the mixture begins to bubble, 4 to 6 minutes. The nuts are done when they are golden brown and the syrup is thicker and bubbling slowly. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the pan. The coating on the nuts should be crisp when the nuts are cool. If it isn’t, you can put the nuts back in the oven for another couple of minutes.
Separate the cooled nuts. They will keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks or for a month in the refrigerator.
Parfait
Makes 4 to 6 servings
■ 8 large egg yolks
■ 3⁄4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
■ 2⁄3 cup water
■ 21⁄2 cups heavy cream, very cold
■ 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
Prepare an ice-water bath, using a bowl large enough to hold the mixer bowl. Put the egg yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high
speed until light colored, about 4 minutes. While the yolks are in the mixer, combine the sugar, salt and water in a deep, heavy saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Stir gently with a wooden spoon from time to time to make sure that no sugar is sticking to the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture registers 230 F on a thermometer. This should only take a few minutes.
Remove the sugar syrup from the heat and immediately add it in a thin stream to the light-colored yolks, pouring it between the whisk and the side of the bowl. The yolks will cook from the heat of the syrup and thicken considerably. Continue to beat for a few minutes on high to increase the volume and start cooling the mixture. It should be thick and pale yellow. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and place
it in the ice-water bath until cool, folding gently with a rubber spatula so as not to lose any volume.
In another mixing bowl, with the clean whisk attachment or a handheld whisk, whip the cream until it holds soft peaks. Using the spatula, gently fold the cream into the yolks. If you are adding any of the flavorings that follow, don’t mix until the cream is fully incorporated. Mix just until the cream is almost combined, add your other cool or room-temperature ingredients and finish mixing.
Pour the mixture into serving glasses or into a large container from which you can easily scoop. Cover the glasses or the single container tightly and place in the freezer. The glasses will only take about an hour to freeze; the large container will take 2 to 3 hours.
Purchase fresh, locally grown produce and more with the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Pro-gram.

Eatonville Lady Cruisers season ends in district loss
By Skip Smith Contributing Writer
The Eatonville Lady Cruisers’ season came to a close Friday with a 12-2 loss to Orting in the opening round of the district playoffs, ending a hard-fought campaign that saw them earn a postseason berth and finish fifth in the 2A SPSL with a 5-9 league record and 11-7 overall.
Eatonville battled from the first pitch, but early miscues and an aggressive Orting offense put the Cruisers in a hole they couldn’t climb out of. Orting jumped ahead
in the bottom of the first after a walk, a dropped third strike, a base hit down the left field line, and a run-scoring groundout helped bring three runs across. The Cardinals added to their lead in the second inning with a string of productive outs and aggressive base running, including a steal of home. Josie Lavergne started in the circle for the Cruisers and struck out six over four innings of work. The right-hander gave everything she had, allowing 12 runs — seven of them earned — on 13 hits while walking three. Eatonville’s defense was tested early as Orting ran wild on the base paths, swiping 13
total bases in the game. Offensively, Eatonville put together some quality at-bats. Aubree Mills and Kaitlyn Kenney led the way with two hits apiece, continuing their strong presence at the plate. Lilah Chapman and Amy Tozier each delivered an RBI to get the Cruisers on the board. Though the lineup struggled to string together big innings against Orting’s starter — who allowed six hits and two runs over five innings without issuing a walk — Eatonville made the most of its opportunities and kept battling until the end.
WA bill's changes to public pension funding could cost taxpayers, critic warns
By TJ Martinell The Center Square
For years, Washington state’s public pension system has been considered one of the best funded in the nation. However, one critic of a new bill passed by the state Legislature warns that it could undermine the system’s solvency in the long term and at the expense of taxpay-ers.
One of the key factors in actual assumptions is determining the assumed rate of return on investments that fund the system, which in turn determines how much the state Legisla-ture must contribute. The higher the assumed rate of return, the less contribution the Leg-islature must make to ensure it is fully funded.
According to the Office of the State Actuary, “over the past 20 years across all plans, invest-ment returns have comprised roughly 70% of the pension fund’s total income. If investment returns are lower than expected, it often results in an increase to member and employer contribution rates to offset the lower than assumed investment assets.”
Prior to the passage of Senate Bill 5357 this session, the assumed rate of return was 7%. However, the bill raised that rate to 7.25% for every plan in the state except the Law Enforce-ment Officers’ and Firefighters’ Plan 2. The bill was sponsored by Sen. Steve Conway, D-Tacoma, at the request of the state Office of Financial Management.
The bill passed unanimously
in the Senate and passed in the House on a 80-17 vote; the Senate then voted along party lines 29-19 to approve changes made to the bill while it was in the House.
In 2023, the Office of the State Actuary reported that the system would be fully funded by 2027. Driving much of the unfunded liability are two retirement plans that were closed in the 1970s, The Public Employees' Retirement System Plan 1 and the Teachers' Retirement Sys-tem Plan 1. TRS Plan 1 is projected to be fully funded by the end of the 2025 fiscal year.
Testifying at the bill’s Jan. 24 public hearing, Gov. Bob Ferguson’s Budget Assistant Marcus Ehrlander told the Senate Ways and Means Committee that “the bill gives the state more re-sponse time to address reaching 100% funding. The goal is to get to 100% funding and to stay at 100% funding, and so the bill strikes the balance between those priorities.”
While the altered rate of return will save the state an estimated $1.1 billion over the next four years, Reason Foundation Managing Director Ryan Frost warned in an article that the Legis-lature is taking a huge gamble.
“If that bet fails — even slightly — the plans will face serious funding gaps,” he wrote. “Washington’s choice to swim against this national trend by adopting a more aggressive return assumption significantly increases the likelihood of future shortfalls.”
Cruisers baseball runs ends in District playoffs
By Skip Smith Contributing Writer
The Eatonville Cruisers’ postseason run came to an end this past Monday with an 8-1 loss in the district playoffs, but the scoreboard didn’t tell the whole story of a team that matured, battled, and took major steps forward in 2025.
Eatonville's season-closing defeat came at the hands of the Port Angeles Roughriders, who capitalized on early momentum and defensive miscues to build a lead the Cruisers couldn’t claw back from. Despite the loss, Head Coach Doug Fillbach had nothing but pride for his team, particularly a senior class that has helped lay the founda-tion for the program’s future.
“Watching the team come together and grow this year was a very special moment for me as a coach,” Fillbach said. “I have had
most of the team for three years now, and it was great to see how they handled adversity and grew as individuals.”
The Roughriders jumped out in the second inning, taking advantage of a Cruiser error to get on the board. They padded their lead in the third, with a pair of run-scoring hits. Eatonville starter Brody Thirtyacre battled through four and two-thirds innings, striking out five and giving his team a chance to hang in. He allowed five runs—four earned—on seven hits before turning the ball over to the bullpen.
The Cruisers’ lone run came in the later innings, thanks to a persistent offensive effort. Thirtyacre and Aaron Tozier led the charge at the plate with two hits apiece, helping Eatonville notch seven total hits against a tough opposing pitcher who went the distance.
“Even though the game didn’t go our way, the team did a great job of staying composed, and it showed how much they had matured over the last three years,” Fillbach said. Eatonville finishes the year with an 8-11 overall record, going 7-7 in 2A SPSL play — good for a fifth-place finish and a well-earned district playoff berth. For a team that battled through growing pains and a tough league schedule, reaching the postseason was a clear sign of their resilience.
“Each of our seniors became better young men through this program, and I am proud of how far they have come,” Fillbach said. “They have taught me a lot as well, and I am very excited to see the young men that they will be-come and how they can give back and contribute to the communities that they finally settle down in.”
While Monday marked the final high school game for several key
players, the season also showcased the develop-ment of younger talent and a team culture grounded in grit, respect, and unity. Fillbach, emotional but grateful, made it clear how much the senior group meant to him.
“This is my first big group of seniors, and it's been pretty
emotional knowing that our time together on the field has come to an end,” he said. “They are a very fun group of players and I will miss them.”
Though the scoreboard ended the season, Eatonville’s growth as a team—and as young men—was the true victory this spring.

Wilkeson sends pleas to D.C. as rural bridge closure cuts off tourism lifeline
By Tim Clouser The Center Square
After hand-delivering over 100 letters to Washington, D.C., Pierce County Councilmember Dave Morell says emergency grants could save a historic mining town that the state left out to dry.
Washington State Route 165 leads hundreds of thousands of tourists to Mount Rainier Na-tional Park every year. The highway stretches through Wilkeson to one of the few entrances, but not before crossing a 103-yearold bridge the state closed last month, cutting off access to the park.
The Fairfax Bridge is rapidly deteriorating after the Legislature put off years of maintenance. Morell said a few coats of paint every three decades could have avoided this, but the state is out of options. Years could pass before it can afford to rebuild, upending Wilkeson’s econ-omy.
“Whenever we do in-district meetings at the county, whether it be in District 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, I remind them,” Morell told The Center Square, “that it was the towns of Wilkeson and Car-bonado that built Tacoma, and without them, Tacoma would not be where it is today.”
Morell met with the state’s congressional delegation in Washington, D.C., last week and re-turned home on Friday. While he planned the trip before the state closed the bridge, it al-lowed him to lobby for federal support. A solution may still be years away, but he said Wilkeson could survive.
Businesses, residents and even outdoor enthusiasts from Tacoma and Auburn sent more than 100 letters with Morell. Someone wrote one on the back of a napkin. Morell said U.S. Rep. Kim Schier, D-Wash., smiled as she opened it, reflecting on the rural community amid the chaos of Congress.
A group of roughly 30 people who live on the other side of the bridge collected the letters before Morell left. The Friends of the Carbon Canyon help maintain the area and told The Center
Square that the local access route they now have to take adds almost an hour to their trip into town.
“It’s over an hour if we call 911,”
Jill Cartwright said, “Carbonado and Wilkeson are volunteer fire departments, and they’re going to be the first ones that would be coming through, but we wouldn’t expect any help for over an hour — if that.”
Bridge maintenance typically falls on the state, but Morell said Wilkeson could declare an emergency to open the door to U.S. Department of Commerce grants. The funding wouldn’t rebuild the bridge but could save the city and local economy until the state has enough money.
Morell said the county talked to Wilkeson Mayor Jeff Sellers about a declaration and plans to explore all possible avenues. The Washington State Department of Transportation will host a meeting after Memorial Day so residents can weigh in on potentially rerouting the bridge later.
In the meantime, Morell said the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service and the state have an opportunity to repair campsites, trails and other infrastructure on the other side of the bridge.
“Things are happening behind the scenes. We’re not sitting around, saying, ‘Woe is me,’” he told The Center Square.
Wilkeson is the first stop for gas on the way down from the park, but it takes another 20 minutes to get to grocery stores in Bonney Lake. Some residents who live across the bridge are disabled and feel trapped on the other side without a quick way to town.
Cartwright wants to prevent Wilkeson from becoming a ghost town like the other mining communities that once thrived there. One lies beneath the Fairfax Bridge, serving as a re-minder of what the loss of tourism could mean for Wilkeson, much like the decline of the coal industry in the area.
“They do depend on the tourist traffic,” Cartwright said. “People come from all over the world in those three months.”
New York, Washington,
Vermont see most illegal northern border crossers
By Bethany Blankley The Center Square contributor
Of the 14 northern border states that share a land or water border with Canada, the greatest number of apprehensions of illegal border crossers were reported in New York, Washington and Vermont during the Biden administration, according to the latest data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
When releasing the latest apprehension data for April, the Trump administration also released data by state for the last administration through the fiscal year to date. The federal fiscal year goes from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30. Published charts include monthly data for fiscal years 2022-2025 to date. Fiscal 2021 and 2020 data was published separately.
Biden administration data includes the first three months of fiscal 2025, nine months of fiscal 2021, and all of fiscal years 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Combined, illegal northern border crosser apprehensions totaled nearly one million under the Biden administration, according to CBP data and gotaway data exclusively reported by The Center Square for the busiest northern border sector of Swanton.
According to the data, northern border apprehensions increased each year despite Biden administration claims that the border was closed or its policies were facilitating a “safe, orderly migration.” The majority of northern border states saw the greatest number of illegal entries in 2024, the last year of the administration, according to CBP data.
The greatest numbers ever reported in recorded history in Montana, Maine, North Dakota
and Washington were reported in 2024, according to the data.
For fiscal years 2022 through 2024 and three months of fiscal 2025, nearly 701,000 illegal border crosser apprehensions/encounters were reported in 14 northern border states.
From west to east, they totaled:
■ Alaska: 6,648
■ Washington: 120,720
■ Idaho: 529
■ Montana: 30,474
■ North Dakota: 13,788
■ Minnesota: 7,483
■ Wisconsin: 111
■ Michigan: 44,011
■ Ohio: 1,020
■ Pennsylvania: 17,282
■ New York: 342,488
■ Vermont: 59,298
■ New Hampshire: 82
■ Maine: 57,058
Nearly half of all northern border apprehensions were reported in New York. Washington, Vermont, Maine and Montana recorded the next most.
As the border crisis unfolded under the Biden administration, most congressional investigations and reports and news reports solely focused on the southwest border, largely ignoring the northern border.
Yet the greatest number of U.S. states, 14, share the longest international border in the world with Canada, totaling 5,525 miles. It remains largely unmanned and unprotected, The Center Square has reported for four years, highlighting unprecedented illegal entries, threats of terrorism and lack of operational control there.
Officials have explained that the apprehension data represents a fraction of illegal border crossers – they don’t know how many have really come through largely remote areas where one Border Patrol agent may be responsible for patrolling several hundred miles,
The Center Square has reported.
Unlike the 1,954-mile U.S.Mexico border, there is no border wall, significantly less technological equipment exists and far fewer agents are stationed there.
Despite being understaffed and having fewer less resources, Border Patrol and CBP agents at the U.S.-Canada border apprehended the greatest number of known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) in the country, 1,216, during the Biden administration, The Center Square exclusively reported.
This was as northern border terrorist-related arrests soared to record high numbers under the Biden and Trudeau administrations, The Center Square exclusively reported. Nationwide, from fiscal years 2021-2024, the greatest number of KSTs were apprehended by Border Patrol and CBP agents in U.S. history, 1,903, The Center Square exclusively reported. The majority, 64%, were apprehended at the northern border coming from Canada, according to CBP data.
In February, President Donald Trump for the first time in U.S. history declared a national emergency at the northern border, also ordering the U.S. military to implement border security measures there, The Center Square reported.
Since Trump’s been in office, illegal border crossings plummeted, and northern border apprehensions decreased as they have nationwide.
At the beginning of the fiscal year in October, northern border apprehensions totaled 15,207; in April, they totaled 4,835, excluding gotaways.
Fiscal year to date, they totaled 57,303, accounting for roughly 10% of the total number of apprehensions nationwide, according to CBP data.
