Cruisers cage Grizzlies, clinch berth to district playoffs

By Skip Smith Contributing writer

All games are important throughout the baseball season, but none were more important than the Cruisers’ final game of the season against the Hoquiam Grizzlies.

The two teams split their two-game series earlier in the season and were tied for fourth place in league play. A win by either team would send them to the district playoffs, and a loss would end the other's season. It was also Senior Night for the four Cruiser seniors who were playing in what could be their last game.

With the season on the line, coach Doug Fillbach handed the ball to Payton Hanly to get the start on the mound for Eatonville. Hanly pitched the Cruisers to two of their four wins already this season. He did not disappoint.

In front of a large home crowd, the junior starter pitched 4.1 innings of threehit ball while only giving up two runs and striking out five. He gave way to freshman Colton Herbrand, who had picked up one of the Cruiser wins earlier in the year, in the top of the fifth inning to finish the game. Herbrand held the Grizzlies scoreless for the final 2.2 innings to pick up his first career save as the Cruisers defeated the Grizzlies 3-2 to lock up fourth place in the 1A Evergreen League and clinch the No. 4 seed into the 1A SWW District Playoffs.

Offensively, Eatonville did all their damage early, scoring all three runs in the second inning.

Senior Joe Suver got the scoring started when he ripped a line drive to left field,

Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad back in operation sooner than predicted

Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad has announced it will open RailCycle Mt. Rainier, a new rail bike attraction, and is entering final negotiations to begin operating steam train excursions from Chehalis this summer — a full two years sooner than predicted.

RailCycle Mt. Rainier, is a family-friendly pedalpowered rail bike excursion that offers a chance to experience the Pacific Northwest’s history of logging and railroading while enjoying views of glacially fed rivers and streams. RailCycles takes advantage of both railroad and bicycle technology to ensure that they are easy to pedal and accessible for many.

Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad is finalizing negotiations with Chehalis Centralia Railroad and Museum to lease its rail line, station and event space to operate summer and fall excursions. Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad leadership intends to bring steam engine Polson 70, along with several passenger cars, to Chehalis for the summer operation, which features family-friendly excursions, barbecue and blues trains and beer-tasting trains. Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad began working to restore the track to service, particularly focusing on expansion to operate out of Eatonville. While this work remains ongoing and fundraising efforts are taking place, MRSR is unable to operate on its own line. CCRM has been unable to obtain liability insurance, due to two crashes involving CCRM’s trains and resulting pending

Savvy Senior: How to prepare a will

Dear Savvy Senior, I would like to make my last will and testament and would like to know if I can do it myself, or do I need to hire a lawyer?

Don’t Have Much

Dear Don’t, Very good question! Almost everyone needs a will, but only around one-third of American have actually prepared one. Having a last will and testament is important because it ensures your money and property will be distributed to the people you want to receive it a er your death.

If you die without a will (a.k.a. dying “intestate”), your estate will be settled in accordance with state law. Details vary by state, but assets typically are distributed using a hierarchy of survivors i.e., rst to a spouse, then to children, then your siblings, and so on.

You also need to be aware that certain accounts take precedence over a will. If you jointly own a home or a bank account, for example, the house, and the funds in the account, will go to

the joint holder, even if your will directs otherwise. Similarly, retirement accounts and life insurance policies are distributed to the bene ciaries you designate, so it is important to keep them up to date too.

DO YOU NEED A LAWYER?

Not necessarily. Creating a will with a do-it-yourself so ware program may be acceptable in some cases, particularly if you have a simple, straightforward estate and an uncomplicated family situation. Otherwise, it’s best to seek professional advice. An experienced lawyer can make sure you

cover all your bases, which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles a er you’re gone. If you need help nding someone the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org), the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (NAEPC.org) and the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC.org) websites are good resources that have online directories to help you search. Costs will vary depending on your location and the complexity of your situation, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200

and $1,000 or more to get your will made. To help you save, shop around and get price quotes from several di erent rms. And before you meet with an attorney, make a detailed list of your assets and accounts to help make your visit more e cient.

If money is tight, check with your state’s bar association (see FindLegalHelp.org) to nd low-cost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 for a referral.

If you are interested in a do-it-yourself will, some top options to consider are Nolo’s Quicken

WillMaker & Trust (Nolo. com, $99) and Trust & Will (TrustandWill.com, $159). Or, if that’s more than you’re willing to pay, you can make your will for free at FreeWill.com or DoYourOwnWill.com.

It’s also recommended that if you do create your own will, have a lawyer review it to make sure it covers all the important bases.

WHERE TO STORE IT?

Once your will is written, the best place to keep it is either in a reproof safe or le cabinet at home, in a safe deposit box in your bank or online at sites like Everplans.com. But make sure your executor knows where it is and has access to it. Or, if a professional prepares your will, keep the original document at your lawyer’s o ce. Also, be sure to update your will if your family or nancial circumstances change, or if you move to another state. 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.

Dive into a garlic-infused meal

Shrimp dishes are quite popular. ese scouring crustaceans are found in many oceans and come in various sizes.

While most know that shrimp can be tasty, they're also good to eat for a number of reasons. Shrimp pack 20 grams of protein into a 3-ounce serving, all for around 84 calories. Shrimp also contain phosphorous, iodine, magnesium and zinc, which are important minerals for health. In addition, shrimp are rich in DHA and EPA, essential omega-3 fatty acids that can help reduce a person's risk for heart disease. Also, shrimp may boost cognitive health by way of astaxanthin, an antioxidant that can protect against free radical damage.

Now that it's understood why shrimp are bene cial in diets, it is time to explore new shrimp recipes to include into future meals. is recipe for "Camarones al ajillo (Garlic shrimp)," from "Spain: Authentic Regional Recipes" (Fall River Press) by M. Teresa Segura is based on a Spanish peasant dish featuring fresh, plump shrimp and lots of garlic. Experiment with the amount of garlic to appeal to one's own taste buds.

CAMARONES AL AJILLO

(Garlic shrimp)

Serves 4

2 pounds raw extra-large shrimp

Juice of 2 limes

½ teaspoon dried oregano

6 tablespoons extra-virgin Spanish olive oil

8 cloves garlic, nely chopped Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Lime wedges, to garnish

Remove the heads from the shrimp, but do not peel. Wash and pat dry the shrimp and place in a shallow glass dish. Add the lime juice and oregano. Cover and chill for 2 hours.

When ready to cook, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a skillet

and gently fry the garlic for 1 minute, stirring, making sure it does not over brown.

lawsuit. While negotiations are being nalized, both groups remain optimistic.

“Since we announced our acquisition of the railroad, the support we have received has been overwhelming,” MRSR Executive Director Bethan Maher said in a release. “We have a talented sta and board of directors, robust community support and over 80 volunteers actively working

to help revive the railroad. e outpouring of help has made summer operations an aggressive, but realistic target. We appreciate CCRM’s willingness and warm, friendly response to the proposal, and the help they’ve given us in making this idea a reality.”

e agreement for summer railroad operations is currently being nalized. Both entities report that excursions are targeted to begin in mid-June, however. MRSR launched a campaign to raise

$80,000 to help bring equipment, which has not operated since 2020, back into service and compliance, as well as perform necessary bridge repairs to facilitate the move. MRSR will need to obtain a series of permissions to move equipment and nalize all pertinent inspections.

In August of 2022, nonpro t Western Forest Industries Museum acquired Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad a er its previous owner, American Heritage Railways, closed

the organization in 2020. WFIM intends to expand operations to the town of Eatonville, creating a signi cant economic demand generator for the town, while constructing a new station and museum showcase historic railroad and logging equipment, while highlighting the stories of the people that worked on and lived along the railroad.

By Skip Smith Contributing writer

e h-ranked King's Way Christian Knights came to Eatonville this past Saturday and spoiled the Cruisers' rst district playo appearance in seven years.

e underdog Cruisers came up short in the last ve minutes with a winning goal by the Knights that ended the Cruisers’ hopes for an

Nathaniel Goode. Trentten Cressman led the way with 13 defensive plays, and Josiah Goode, Nicholas Holder and Jake Brannon all nished with seven each.

Riley Rockey scored the only Cruiser goal. Kevin

Tomyn got the assist. at loss dropped the Cruisers into the consolation bracket where they will need to win their next two games to clinch a berth into the state tournament, something Eatonville has not done since 2002.

Political allies, opponents react to Gov. Inslee’s decision against a fourth term

By Brett Davis e Center Square

Jay Inslee’s decision that he will not be seeking an unprecedented fourth term as the governor of Washington state elicited passionate reactions from political friends and foes alike. Inslee, a Democrat, is currently the longest-tenured governor in the country. He was rst elected to the job in 2012 and subsequently won reelection in 2016 and 2020. Before being elected governor, Inslee served more than a dozen years in Congress.

He focused much of his gubernatorial tenure – and his brief 2020 presidential campaign – on his signature issue: ghting climate change.

Democratic politicians and other allies praised the 72-year-old Inslee’s performance as Washington’s governor.

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Bothell, tweeted, “Congratulations to my friend @GovInslee. You’ve made historic progress for Washington state – whether it was leading the nation on climate, getting us through COVID, or building a

stronger economy for everyone. Your leadership has made life better for so many people in our state.”

Senate Majority Leader Andy Billig, D-Spokane, was even more e usive in his praise of Inslee.

“Gov. Inslee has guided Washington on a path to achieve remarkable progress over the past decade. He will be the rst to tell you there are many challenges that remain, and I look forward to continuing our work together over the next year and a half,” Billig said in a news release last week.

He went on to tout accomplishments achieved under Inslee.

“But today is a day to celebrate a legacy and a partnership that produced historic legislation to combat climate change and gun violence, and to expand voting rights and make our tax system more stable and fair,” he said. “We’ve seen Washington’s economy reach new heights under his watch, and his leadership was critical in times of crisis such as the Oso mudslide, the I-5 bridge collapse in Skagit County, and especially during the Covid pandemic when he implemented critical safety measures to save thousands of lives. In tough times and in great times, Gov. Inslee has led

our state with integrity, compassion, and vision.”

Andrew Villeneuve, founder and executive director of the Northwest Progressive Institute, also had kind words for Inslee’s tenure as governor.

“NPI congratulations Governor Inslee for a great run as Washington State’s chief executive,” he wrote in a blog. “We look forward to working with him to get even more great policy into law next year as he wraps up this chapter of his public service.”

Others, however, expressed satisfaction that Inslee’s time as

governor is coming to an end.

“It’s time to turn the page on the disastrous Inslee era in Washington state,” Caleb Heimlich, Washington State Republican Party chair, said in a news release. “For over a decade, Governor Inslee has taken our state in the wrong direction. His decision to not seek a fourth term presents an opportunity to elect a Republican governor who will put Washingtonians rst and prioritize the needs of our communities.”

John Spellman was Washington’s last Republican governor serving from 1981 to 1985.

Heimlich’s foremost complaint against Inslee is what he considers his abuse of power during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the end of February 2020, Inslee declared a statewide emergency in response to the novel coronavirus that was spreading across the globe. Under the state of emergency, the governor issued scores of additional proclamations ranging from shelter-in-place orders to school closures to a moratorium on evictions to vaccine and mask mandates.

Inslee ended his COVID state of emergency on Oct. 31, a er 975 days of it being in e ect.

“ e people of Washington State deserve better than Governor Inslee’s failed leadership,” Heimlich concluded. “We look forward to supporting a Republican candidate who will prioritize the well-being of our communities, restore scal responsibility, and bring common-sense solutions to the challenges facing our state.”

Rep. J.T. Wilcox, R-Yelm, also had harsh words for the governor.

“While I believe he was sincere in his belief in the environment and his concern for carbon, I was consistently disappointed in his default use of partisanship and demonization,” the former House Republican leader told e Center Square via email.

“Anyone who is that committed to the natural environment should be able to see just how corrosive demonization is to the political environment.”

In a surprise move during last month’s concluding weekend of the legislative session, Wilcox announced he was stepping down from his leadership role, at least in part because of partisan rancor.

“We have come through so much bitterness in the last few years that, you know, someone in my generation, my age, is never going to be able to escape that,” he said during an interview with Mike McClanahan, host of TVW’s “ e Impact, where he rst said he was stepping down.

Inslee’s third term as governor ends in January 2025.
