Contributing writer

After dropping their season-opening match to Montesano the previous week, 4-1, the Eatonville boys soccer team headed to Spanaway to try and corral the 3A Bethel Bison on March 20 at Art Crate Stadium.

The Bison trampled all over the Cruisers to the tune of 7-0.

However, the Cruisers picked up their first victory of the season just a few days later when they took on the Forks Spartans at home on March 22.

Kevin Tomyn, Riley Rockey and Owen Van Eaton scored two goals each in the Cruisers' 6-0 rout of the Spartans.

County Council approves sales tax increase

By Brett Davis Contributing writer

On a 5-2 vote during a marathon meeting that lasted more than six hours, the Pierce County Council passed a 1/10 of 1% sales tax increase — or one penny of every $10 purchased — to fund a ordable housing. e tax hike is expected to raise about $20 million annually.

Pending Pierce County Executive Bruce Dammeier’s signature, the ordinance upping the tax — dubbed the “Maureen Howard A ordable Housing Act” — would go into e ect on July 1. Howard, who passed away in January, was a tireless advocate for Tacoma and Pierce County’s homeless population.

Pierce County needs to spend an additional $117 million a year to fully fund the homeless crisis response system, according to the council’s Comprehensive Plan to End Homelessness that was passed last year.

“ is revenue source will give us access to muchneeded resources to help those in need of an a ordable place to live, including our veteran community and those eeing abusive, and o en deadly, situations at home,” council Chair Ryan Mello said. “ is act will also help those who get up every day for work but simply can’t nd a ordable housing in Pierce County. is act will help build and preserve 600 to 800 a ordable housing units every year in Pierce County.”

Mello and fellow council members Dave Morell, Marty Campbell, Jani Hitchen and Robyn Denson voted in favor of the ordinance. Council members Amy Cruver and Paul Herrera voted against.

A sales tax hike wasn’t the only action the council took related to homelessness.

e council also approved a pair of ordinances setting up the construction of a micro-housing village to shelter the chronically homeless.

Fresh potato chips can't be beat

Everyone has his or her own idea of comfort food. For some, it is biting into a piping-hot slice of pepperoni pizza. Others can’t get enough of a hearty bowl of beef stew.

Snack foods also can be categorized as comfort foods — and potato chips (or “crisps” as they're known across the pond) are no exception. Potato chips come in di erent avors and cuts, including crinkle and kettle chips. While it’s easy to pick up a bag at the store, why not whip up a fresh batch right at home? You will have complete control over the ingredients and enjoy the freshest chips around. Try this recipe for "Homemade Potato Chips" courtesy of home cook and country living blogger Kathy from Beyond the Chicken Coop.

HOMEMADE POTATO CHIPS

• 6 medium russet potatoes

• 2 tablespoons white vinegar

• Water

• Oil for frying (vegetable, canola or peanut oil)

• Salt

1. Peel potatoes and place potato in a bowl lled with water.

2. Slice potatoes to 1⁄16-inch thick. Use a mandoline to get an even, consistent size. Immediately place sliced potatoes in another bowl lled with cold water and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. Allow potatoes to soak for at least 1 hour.

3. Drain potatoes and rinse with cold water. Leave potatoes in colander and allow all water to drain.

4. Place drained potatoes on a clean, dry kitchen towel. Pat lightly to remove any remaining water.

5. Fill pot with 2 inches of oil. Preheat oil to 380 F. Use a thermometer to test temperature of oil.

6. Test oil temperature. Ideal temperature will vary from 370 to 380 F. Fry one or two slices in the oil and cook until they are nicely browned. If the potatoes brown quicker than 3 minutes, lower the temperature by 5 degrees.

7. Place one handful of sliced potatoes in the oil. Stir gently to prevent potatoes from sticking to each other. Cook until golden; 3 minutes.

8. Scoop out and place on a baking sheet lined with a baking rack.

9. Sprinkle with salt immediately and repeat until all potatoes are cooked.

Tips: Soaking the potatoes helps remove excess starch and prevents the potatoes from sticking together. It also helps them fry up more crispy. Chips are best eaten the day they are made. Store in an airtight container for up to two days.

scoring the eventual game-winning run on a ball that got by catcher Ethan Evans.

Eatonville’s Hanly went the distance for the Cruisers, throwing six innings and only giving up one run on three hits, walking four and striking out ve Fighting Duck batters. e walk and balk in the third inning that allowed the winning run to score was his only downfall in the game.

“Payton pitched a great game for us,” head coach Doug Fillbach said. “He was able to throw a lot of strikes that allowed his defense to work behind him. It was a great e ort by him and a solid team performance, as well.”

e Cruisers had a couple of scoring chances in the game. In the third inning, they stranded a runner in scoring position at second base. In the seventh inning, the Cruisers had both the tying and winning runs on second and third bases. Michael Stogsdill hit a line drive to right eld that the elder caught on a diving play to make the nal out and end the Cruisers’ scoring chances. Had the right elder not made that play, both runs would have scored and put Eatonville ahead 2-1.

“ at’s baseball,” Fillbach said. “Our job is to get into as many of those scoring situations as possible so that next time it goes our way.”

Owen Archer collected two of the three Cruiser hits on the day.

e Cruisers hosted the Montesano Bulldogs in a double-header Tuesday and will nish the week in Elma by taking on the Eagles at 4 p.m. Friday.

OPINION

Mayor owes Eatonville explanation on debt owed to town

By Peter Paul Guest Editorial

Dear Editor, Starting in 2019, prior to Mr. David Baublits running for mayor, he moved to open a business in town under the name of Aileen’s. is was described in the permit to the town as a convenience store. However, the business model changed completely a er that point, and he opened the business under a new name, Yogi’s. Additionally, the business changed from a convenience store to a drivethrough barbecue establishment, which was opened in January 2022 under the name Yogi’s, mere days a er he became mayor.

During construction, Mr. Baublits was directed repeatedly to obtain new permits outlining the actual establishment and to make modi cations in design, sign, clearances, etc. for this new business. He was provided guidance and direction from the town, through Larsen and Associates, for engineering work and compliance reviews. at work was not free. Indeed, Mr. Baublits’ work with Larsen and Associates incurred thousands of dollars in fees, which were charged to the Town of Eatonville and paid from the General Fund but owed by

Mr. Baublits. e town then billed Mr. Baublits, but he failed to pay full recompense for the services. Mr. Baublits was issued a permit, though he had not paid his outstanding balance, and Yogi’s opened on Jan. 8, 2022, again, just days a er he became mayor of Eatonville.

Within weeks of Mr. Baublits becoming mayor, he was approached by the town clerk, noti ed of the outstanding charges and asked to clear his debt. e town clerk also discussed the matter with her new supervisor in the same timeframe, Town Administrator Seth Boettcher, Mr. Boettcher took no o cial action to recover the fees until April 2022, when he discussed the matter with the town attorney.

Although the debt had been outstanding for months, this matter was rst raised at the Town Council meeting on April 25, 2022, when questions were raised about attorney fees incurred by the town attorney for a consultation regarding Yogi’s. When asked, Mr. Boettcher indicated he had consulted with the attorney as the business owner, David Baublits, was contesting some of the fees owed.

In June of 2022, Mr. Baublits wrote four separate letters to Town Administrator Boettcher, his employee, contesting the decisions of the past

administration charging him for Larsen and Associates’ services in connection with Yogi’s. It should be noted that the fees had been outstanding for more than a year at this point, and, yet, based on my investigation, this was the rst time that Mr. Baublits had formally even responded to the demands for payment.

is matter was raised at subsequent Town Council meetings, including in August, October, December, and again in January 2023. In each instance, the town administrator indicated he was working on the issue but had not yet resolved it. When asked to explain, Mr. Boettcher indicated that the town attorney was not being responsive, though town records re ect that there have been no further invoices generated by the town attorney, a bill would indicate further consultation on the matter had been done.

I told Mr. Boettcher of my intention to raise the matter again at the Feb. 13, 2023, Town Council meeting, though I chose not to do so. e mayor did, however, provide me with a packet of discreet information concerning this issue that he believed supported his refusal to reimburse the town. I told him that as mayor, it seemed wholly inappropriate for him to refuse to pay his delinquent debt owed to the town. To nally obtain a better

understanding of the matter, and since I did not believe the town administrator was being transparent or forthright, I led a public records request with the town clerk on Feb. 15. It is unfortunate that, as an elected o cial within the Town of Eatonville, I felt compelled to use a Public Records Act request to ensure timely access to full and complete information.

Based on the information available to me, it is my belief that the mayor has used his position to avoid paying money he owes to the Town of Eatonville. Additionally, the town administrator has, at best, allowed this delinquency to continue. At worst, Mr. Boettcher has failed in his duty to secure repayment from Mayor Baublits the thousands of dollars Mayor Baublits owes to the Town of Eatonville.

We deserve, from our elected o cials and town employees, a high degree of ethics and morality. e mayor should have paid his debt to the town long before the honor of becoming mayor. My hope is that this letter will now nally compel him to do right by his town. Finally, I invite the mayor to respond to this issue — to answer why he has chosen not to pay his bills and to burden the town with these debts.
