Eatonville's Max Henley stiffarms a Bellevue Christian defender, allowing himself to gain more yardage. Henley would go on to lead the Cruisers with 102 yards rushing, including a spectacular 67-yard run. Henley would add a rushing touchdown in the third quarter, the first rushing touchdown of his career.
In a spectacular display of dominance, the Eatonville Cruiser football team rebounded from a lackluster performance the previous week to level their season record at 2-2. Battling the elements on a rainy Saturday a ernoon, they unleashed an o ensive storm against the Bellevue Christian Vikings, securing a 36-6 victory.
Last week's o ensive struggles were swi ly forgotten as the Cruisers wasted no time making amends.

Nation, displaying incredible speed, outpaced his defender for a breathtaking 95-yard touchdown, setting the tone for the game.
Klumpar and Nation's connection
continued to ourish throughout the game. Klumpar showcased his precision passing with two more touchdown strikes to Nation, covering distances of 38 and 54 yards. Nation had 205 receiving yards on just four receptions, with three touchdowns.

Dear Savvy Senior, Does Medicare cover second medical opinions? e doctor I currently see thinks I need a knee replacement, but I would like to get some other treatment options before I proceed. What can you tell me?
Limping Larry
Dear Larry, Getting a second medical opinion from another doctor is a smart idea that may o er you a fresh perspective and additional options for treating your knee so you can make a more informed decision. Or, if the second doctor agrees with your current one, it can give you some reassurance. Yes, Medicare does pay for second opinions if your current doctor has recommended surgery, or some other major diagnostic or therapeutic procedure.
If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, 80 percent of the costs for second medical opinions are covered under Part B (you or your Medicare supplemental policy are responsible for the other 20 percent), and you don’t
need an order or referral from your doctor to get one. Medicare will even pay 80 percent for a third opinion, if the rst two di er.
Most Medicare Advantage plans cover second opinions too, but you may need to follow certain steps to get it paid for. For example, some plans will only help pay for a second opinion if you have a referral from your primary care doctor, and/or they may require that you can only use a doctor in their network. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you’ll need to call it to nd out their rules.
To nd another doctor for a second opinion you can either ask your current doctor for a name or two, or ask another doctor you trust for a referral, or you can nd one on your own.
Whatever route you choose, it’s best to go with a doctor that’s a liated with a di erent practice or hospital than your original doctor. Hospitals and practices can be set in their ways when it comes to treatments and are likely to o er similar advice.
If you choose to nd one on your own, use
Medicare’s Care Compare tool at Medicare.gov/carecompare. is will let you nd doctors by name or medical specialty in your area that accept original Medicare. You can also get this information by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227. Or, if you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, call or visit your plan’s website for a list of candidates.
A er you’ve got a few doctors names, there are a number of free
online resources to help you research them like HealthGrades.com and Vitals.com.
A er you nd another doctor, before you get a second opinion, you’ll need to have your current doctor’s o ce send your medical records ahead to the second doctor, or you may have to pick them up and deliver them yourself. at way, you won’t have to repeat the tests you already had. But, if the second doctor wants you to have additional tests
performed as a result of your visit, Medicare will help pay for these tests too.

CChances are that this vegetarian stew will satisfy any meaty craving. The method for this vegetarian recipe is based on beef bourguignon, the classic French beef and red wine stew -- minus the beef. Mushrooms handily step in as the main ingredient. Not only are mushrooms notorious for their meaty consistency and heft, but they contain glutamate, an amino acid that provides savory, rich umami qualities to food. True, they do not provide the same amount of protein as meat, but they do have a higher protein content than most vegetables, and they carry a treasure trove of nutrients. Mushrooms are a rich source of fiber, vitamins and antioxidants, and they are fat- and carbohydratefree.
For this stew, take advantage of the mushroom season and choose a variety when available. Shiitake, portobello and brown cremini mushrooms are a great starting point. Choose those with firm caps, and store them in open paper bags in the refrigerator to allow them to breathe. To clean mushrooms, rub with a damp paper towel and use a brush to take away any dirt. You can run them under a trickle of water, if needed, but don't douse or submerge them, because they will act like sponges and absorb the liquid. Trim the ends and thickly slice or halve the shiitake and cremini mushrooms. To clean the portobellos, trim the stems and scoop away the gills. Cut the portobellos in bite-size chunks or thickly slice.
MUSHROOM BOURGUIGNON
Active time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour
Yield: Serves 4 to 5
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms, such as portobellos, shiitakes, creminis, ends trimmed, brushed clean Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 shallots, peeled, thickly sliced
2 carrots, thickly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups full-bodied red wine
1 1/2 cups mushroom or vegetable stock, or more as needed
1 bay leaf
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Parsley, for garnishing
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms (in batches if necessary) and lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook until they begin to release their juices and brown at the edges, about 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to a bowl.
If the pan is dry, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the shallots and carrots and lightly season with salt and black pepper. Saute over medium heat until the vegetables begin to soften and the carrots brighten in color, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the tomato paste and stir for about 30 seconds to coat the ingredients and cook the tomato paste.
Pour in the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring up any brown bits, then add the stock and bay leaf. Return the mushrooms to the pan. They should be just covered with liquid; add more stock to cover if not. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Partially cover the pot and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue to simmer to slightly reduce and thicken the liquid, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar and the brown sugar, and taste for seasoning. Add additional vinegar and salt if desired. Ladle into bowls and garnish with parsley. The stew can be prepared up to one day in advance of serving. Refrigerate until use, and gently rewarm to serve.

In a thrilling matchup last week, the Eatonville High School Girls Soccer team emerged victorious with a 1-0 win over the formidable 3A classification Yelm Tornados. The game took place on their home turf, where the Cruisers continued their impressive undefeated streak, now boasting a record of 3-0-1 for the season. McCandless, the stalwart in goal, recorded a crucial shutout for the Cruisers.
Interim head coach Machaela Swartout was elated to be back with the girls and leading them to another impressive victory.
“It was a fun night being back with the girls — I missed coaching them. They are a fiery group with some of the most depth I've had the privilege to coach. There were many players who got playing time last night in a close-fought game,” Swartout said.
The game remained locked in a tense 0-0 tie throughout the match, with both teams creating opportunities. However, in the final five minutes, the Cruisers began to apply pressure. A pivotal moment came when they received a free kick from approximately 25 yards out. Haley Courson stepped up and nearly found the back of the net with her powerful kick, leading to a corner in the remaining seconds of the game.
Courson's corner kick was a thing of beauty, appearing as though it might find the net directly. Although it was initially cleared
by the Yelm defense, Davy Olson made a play by redirecting the ball back toward the middle. Mary Van Eaton seized the opportunity, taking a touch and sending a precise, low-driven shot through traffic, ultimately finding the back of the net. Olson was credited with the assist for her crucial involvement in the play.
"It was a really fun team win, and the coaching staff is excited to see what this group can do,” said Swartout.
Eatonville would end the week on a down note as the Cruisers experienced their first setback of the season with a close 1-0 loss to W.F. West on Saturday, dropping them to 3-1-1 on the young season.
"Tough, but close game. I felt like we had lots of momentum and just tried to force it offensively. We dropped a goal in the second half but fought hard until the end and gave ourselves opportunities to score. The girls are showing tremendous growth in such a short time. The coaches and I are very excited to see what they accomplish this year. We have a deep team, and all players from the starting 11 through the bench provide lots of strength for our team,” Swartout said.
Next up, the Lady Cruisers are set to open 1A Evergreen League play as they face Montesano on Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. at Jack Rottle Field in Montesano. The team's dedicated fans eagerly await to see them continue their journey and aim for more victories in the upcoming league games.
The Eatonville High School boy’s tennis team showcased their resilience and determination last week as they bounced back from a challenging start to the season, securing a thrilling victory in their first match.
Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, the team had suffered a 1-4 loss to Life Christian, with their sole win coming in the #2 Doubles category, where Carl Lucas and Nate Goode displayed incredible teamwork. They battled through a fierce contest and emerged victorious with a final scoreline of 4-6, 6-1, 10-8.
However, the real moment of triumph came on Thursday, when the team faced off against East Jefferson. The Eatonville boys came out swinging, winning all three doubles matches and sealing a remarkable 3-2 victory. The #1 Doubles pairing of AJ Lightfoot and Jacob Golding set the tone with a dominant performance, securing a resounding 6-0, 6-0 win.
Building on this momentum, Carl Lucas and Nate Goode, who had already proven their mettle earlier in the week, continued their winning streak with a solid 6-0, 6-1 victory at #2 Doubles. Dana Bazan and Jackson Riley rounded out the outstanding performance in the doubles category, clinching victory with a convincing 6-1, 6-1 win at #3 Doubles.
The Eatonville High School boy’s tennis team's remarkable comeback showcased their determination and skill, leaving fans and supporters excited about the season ahead. With their first win under their belts, the team is poised for further success and
Harold Fitzer: A Basketball Maestro of the Early 1930s
Harold Fitzer, born in 1933, etched his name into Eatonville's basketball lore during the early 1930s. His contributions to the Eatonville basketball team are especially noteworthy as he was a key member of the squad that clinched victory in the very first Washington State Class "B" state basketball tournament in 1931, a remarkable achievement considering there were only two classifications in the state at the time, Class A and Class B.
Known for his precision shooting and leadership on the court, Harold played a pivotal role in the Eatonville team's success. The Cruisers secured the West Central District Class B championship after an undefeated run in the Puget Sound Class B League.
ready to take on future challenges with the same tenacity that led them to this impressive victory.
The Eatonville High School girls' volleyball team had an impressive week, securing two back-to-back wins that marked a significant turnaround from their previous season's performance. On Tuesday, they dominated the 2A classification Rochester Warriors, winning all three sets in a 3-0 victory. Their success continued on Thursday when they faced the Vashon Pirates, clinching another victory with a 3-1 scoreline.
These two wins in a single week already surpassed their total number of wins from the entire previous season. The team's improved performance comes at a crucial time, as they are set to kick off 1A Evergreen League play this week with a highly anticipated match against Montesano on Thursday.
On Sept. 20, Eatonville High School's cross country team showcased their talent at the Marymount Time Trials held at the Marymount Event Center. Facing stiff competition from four other high schools, Chief Leschi, Curtis, Emerald Ridge, and Rogers, our Eatonville athletes delivered impressive performances that left a lasting mark on the course.
In the girl's 2-mile race, a total of 49 girls fiercely competed, but it was Eatonville's Grace Coonrod who emerged as the star of the day. Grace
blazed through the course with a remarkable time of 12 minutes and 30 seconds, achieving a personal best and securing the top spot. Her dedication and hard work truly paid off.
The Eatonville girls’ team also saw strong performances from Cheyanne Price, who finished in 9th place with a time of 14 minutes and 10 seconds, and Bridget Stumph, who finished in 22nd place with a time of 15 minutes and 48 seconds. Hannah Bieker, despite facing challenges, displayed great determination and finished the race with a time of 23 minutes and 36 seconds.
In the boy's 2-mile race, the competition was fierce, with 96 boys giving their all. Colton Rush led the charge for Eatonville, finishing in 11th place with an impressive time of 11 minutes and 32 seconds. Joe Mueller wasn't far behind, securing 15th place with a personal best time of 11 minutes and 43 seconds.
The strong showing continued with Owen Van Eaton finishing 23rd with a time of 12 minutes and 4 seconds, followed closely by Ben Morrish and Titus Lowe, both clocking in at 12 minutes and 52 seconds. Titus Lowe also achieved a personal best.
The rest of the Eatonville boys’ team put on a valiant effort, with notable personal bests from Daniel Hamilton (13 minutes and 12 seconds), Reed Monroe (14 minutes and 21 seconds), and Micah Vannier (14 minutes and 36 seconds).
Jasper Beck gave it his all, finishing in 91st place with a time of 17 minutes and 22 seconds, rounding out the impressive display of dedication and teamwork from the Eatonville High School cross country team.
as the state's leading scorer and was honored with a place on the state tournament allstar team, despite Eatonville finishing 8th.
Harold's basketball journey continued as he briefly joined what is now Western Washington University before returning home to embark on a successful business venture alongside his brothers. Sadly, Harold Fitzer passed away in 1995, but his legacy in Eatonville's sports history lives on.
Marvin Fitzer: The DualSport Dynamo of the Early 1930s
The Eatonville High School swim team displayed their determination and skill in two thrilling meets last week, facing off against Tumwater at home on Tuesday and then traveling to Aberdeen on Wednesday. Despite the grueling schedule, the team showcased their competitive spirit and earned several notable achievements.
Tuesday's matchup against Tumwater proved to be a closely contested affair. While the team secured only one firstplace finish, courtesy of the remarkable Gracie Forsman in the 100 Free, they kept the score tight in what was a fiercely competitive meet. In addition to Gracie Forsman's victory, four swimmers achieved district qualifying times. Gracie Forsman accomplished this feat not only in the 100 Free but also in the challenging 200 IM. Kaylee Bernt also secured her spot with impressive performances in the 200 Free and 500 Free events.
On Wednesday, the team embarked on a road trip to Aberdeen, facing the challenges of a back-to-back schedule and a lengthy journey. However, their determination remained undeterred. In Aberdeen, they managed to secure three first-place finishes. Gracie Forsman continued her remarkable run, taking the top spot in both the 50 Free and 100 Breaststroke events. Kaylee Bernt added to her district qualifying accomplishments with impressive performances in the 200 IM and 500 Free.
Fans and supporters can look forward to their upcoming meets, with a home matchup against Shelton scheduled for Sept. 26, and another home meet against CCR (a combined team of Centralia, Chehalis, and Rochester) on Sept. 28.
state basketball tournament.
They suffered only one close loss to the Class A state champion Stadium and were narrowly defeated by Class A O'Dea in 1931. During the 1931-32 state tournament, Harold ("Dead-Eye") emerged
Marvin Fitzer, born in 1932, was a versatile athlete who excelled in both basketball and baseball during the early 1930s at Eatonville High School. Much like his brother Harold, Marvin was a crucial part of the 1931 basketball team that made history by winning the inaugural Washington State Class "B"
Marvin, often celebrated as a defensive specialist and team leader, played a pivotal role in the Cruisers' journey to the West Central District Class B championship. Like his brother Harold, Marvin also tasted defeat at the hands of formidable Class A opponents. He briefly continued his basketball career at what is now Southern Oregon University, where his team earned a spot in the NAIA national tournament in Kansas City. However, he chose to return home after a year to work in the timber industry alongside his brothers.
Marvin was not limited to the hardwood; he showcased his athletic prowess on the baseball diamond as well. As a pitcher for the Cruiser baseball team, he played a pivotal role in clinching league championships in 1931 and 1932. Alongside
his brother Kenneth, the Fitzer pitching duo became known for their exceptional skill, giving up only ten hits through the first five league games of the 1931 season.
Marvin Fitzer's legacy continued long after his athletic career, and he left an indelible mark on Eatonville's sports history. Sadly, Marvin Fitzer passed away in 2007, but his contributions to the community and athletic achievements continue to inspire generations.
The induction of the Fitzer brothers, Harold and Marvin, into the Eatonville High School Athletic Hall of Fame is a testament to their enduring impact on the world of sports and their community. Their names will forever be synonymous with excellence in athletics in Eatonville, and their stories will continue to inspire future generations of athletes and fans.

The Washington Energy Code Council has removed a mandate for heat pumps in new houses and apartments, though the delayed update still maintains certain regulations that building industry advocates say constitute a veritable ban on natural gas.
Building Industry Association of Washington Executive Vice President Greg Lane said in a statement that the council “insist on unnecessary new codes that restrict access to natural gas energy for new homeowners, restaurants and other businesses and continue to drive up the cost of housing for no discernable gain in energy efficiency.”
The council initially voted to delay implementation of code changes until Oct. 29, when they had been set to take effect on July 1. The vote to delay was in response to a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in May overturning a city of Berkley ordinance regarding the installation of new natural gas piping. The ruling found that federal law preempts state and local restrictions on natural gas use.
“Unfortunately, the State Building Code Council continues to ignore federal law and public opinion,” Lane said in the statement. Washington’s building industry has opposed the new code not just for the natural gas restrictions but also for the mandated installation of heat pumps in residential dwellings. While more energy efficient than other heating and cooling devices, they constituted a higher upfront cost that they claim would drive up the cost of housing.
The council’s revised code updates remove that mandate but require more compliance credits that “ensures that natural gas for space and water heating is so cost-prohibitive (based on credit allotments) that it would deter usage of natural gas in new homes,” according to a BIAW statement.
