Morton was scrappy and focused on Lilian, which led to 10 of 13 players scoring. We need to sharpen some skills, but it was a good first game,” said Head Coach Deanna Andersen.

Building on this momentum, the Cruisers notched another win in their second game of the season, defeating the Cascade Christian

In their season opener, the Eatonville Cruisers triumphed over the Morton-White Pass Timberwolves with a final score of 69-59. The Cruisers set the tone early, establishing an 18-8 lead after the first quarter and extending it to an 18-point advantage at its peak.

Although the Timberwolves managed to narrow the gap to as little as five points in the fourth quarter, the Cruisers maintained composure and ultimately clinched

the victory by a margin of 10 points.

Junior guard Bailey Andersen played a pivotal role in the Cruisers' success, leading the team with 25 points. Junior Lilian Bickford contributed 10 points, while senior Ryan Stammen and junior Hailey Hall added nine and eight points, respectively.

Savvy Senior: Smart home devices to help seniors age in place

D

ear Savvy Senior, I’ve been talking to my mobility challenged mother, who lives alone, about automating her house with some smart home products to make it more convenient.

She’s very interested but we’d like to get your opinion as to which types of smart devices are most helpful for seniors aging in place.

Searching Daughter Dear Searching, If your mother is game, smart home products – such as smart lights, video doorbells and voiceactivated speakers – can be very useful for aging in place. These devices can add safety and convenience to a home by providing voice and app-controlled operation, which is extremely helpful for seniors who have mobility issues or reduced vision.

Smart home technology can also provide family members peace-of-mind by giving them the ability to electronically keep tabs on their elder loved one when they can’t be there.

If you’re interested in adding some smart home products to your mom’s house, she’ll need home

Adobe Stock Image Wi-Fi installed, and she’ll need either a smartphone, tablet or smart speaker to operate them. To help you get started, here are some different types of devices to consider that are very helpful to older adults.

Smart speakers: A smart speaker – like the Amazon Echo, Google Nest or Apple HomePod – can serve as the brains of a smart home, controlling the devices with voice commands or automating them.

These devices can also play your mom’s favorite music, read audiobooks, make calls, set timers and alarms, provide reminders for

medications, appointments and other things, check traffic and weather, answer questions, call for help in emergency situations and much more – all done by voice commands.

Smart light bulbs: To help prevent home falls – which are often caused by fumbling around a dark room looking for a light switch – smart light bulbs will let your mom turn on and off the lights by voice command, smartphone or tablet. These bulbs can also change brightness and color and be programmed to come on and off whenever she wants.

Smart plugs: These small

units plug into a standard outlet and connect to the internet. That means your mom can control whatever she plugs into them – from a space heater to a coffee maker – using her voice or phone.

Video doorbell: Safety is also a concern for older adults, especially those who live alone. A video doorbell would let your mom see and speak to visitors at the door without having to walk over and open it.

Smart locks: For convenience and safety, smart locks would give your mom keyless entry to her home, provide customized access to family, friends and caregivers, and let you monitor who comes and goes from your mom’s house.

Smart thermostat: This lets your mom preprogram or manually control the temperature in her home with voice command or via phone, and let you monitor it too.

Smart smoke alarms: These will alert your mom when smoke or carbon monoxide is detected and will also send alerts to your phone if a problem is detected.

Stovetop shut-off: To

prevent home cooking fires, smart stovetop shut-off devices, like the IGuardStove, will turn off electric and gas stovetops when left unattended, and will alert you via text.

Medical alert system: These devices provide wearable wrist and/or necklace emergency buttons that would allow your mom to call for help if she were to fall or need assistance.

Many systems today also provide voice activated and fall detection features, and caregiver tracking apps that will let you keep tabs on her.

Cameras and smart sensors: If your mom needs more in-depth monitoring, there are indoor cameras you can install so you can see, hear and talk to her from your phone. Or, if that’s too intrusive, you can install smart contact sensors on her doors so you can know when she comes and goes, or on her refrigerator door so you can know if she’s eating.

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.

Cruiser boys basketball navigate early season rollercoaster

By Skip Smith

Contributing Writer

The Eatonville Cruisers embarked on their early-season journey with a rollercoaster of emotions, showcasing resilience, offensive prowess, and areas for improvement in their first three matchups.

The season opener against Rainier proved to be a test of character for the Cruisers. Despite trailing for a substantial portion of the game, they orchestrated a comeback, outscoring the Rainier Mountaineers 17-9 in the final frame to secure a nail-biting 6459 victory. Senior Mark Nueva emerged as a force to be reckoned with, leading the charge with a game-high 19 points. Hunter Klumpar complemented Nueva's performance, contributing 12 points and commanding the boards with a team-high 7 rebounds. A notable feature of their success was the balanced contribution, with seven different players making an impact on the stat sheet. Griffin Clevenger and Michael Stogsdill each tallied nine points, while freshman Amari Samuel showcased promise with eight points. Head Coach TJ Cotterill commended the team's defensive grit, citing it as the decisive factor in their triumph. Cotterill also highlighted Logan Taylor's disruptive defensive efforts and acknowledged Michael Stogsdill's growth on the defensive end. The game revealed both the

Cruisers' defensive tenacity and areas for offensive refinement, setting the tone for the season.

Transitioning to their second game, the Cruisers hosted the Black Hills Wolves in a matchup that saw the lead swing back and forth.

Senior Hunter Klumpar delivered a standout performance, notching a career-high 25 points, including six three-pointers. Mark Nueva continued his sharp shooting with 13 points, but the Cruisers fell short in the final stretch, allowing the Wolves to secure a 60-54 victory.

Griffin Clevenger contributed eight points and eight rebounds, while Amari Samuel and Favien Pina added seven and two points, respectively. The game showcased the Cruisers' ability to compete at a high level, emphasizing the need for consistency and clutch performances in crunch time.

The week concluded with a road trip to face Cascade Christian, resulting in a 59-34 loss. Cascade Christian's early 10-0 run set the tone, putting the Cruisers at a seven-point deficit heading into the second quarter. Despite valiant efforts, the Cruisers struggled to contain Cascade Christian's offense, trailing 31-10 at halftime.

A 12-0 run by the Cougars in the third quarter virtually sealed the game, as they entered the final frame with a commanding 30-point lead. In a silver lining, the Cruisers BOYS Page 7Æ

Value of Property Owned by Child: To the best of the Plaintiffs’ knowledge, the child owns no property, either real or personal, in the State of South Carolina or elsewhere except for miscellaneous personal effects which have a nominal value. b. Special Needs Child: On information and belief, the minor child is a special needs child, as defined in South Carolina Code Section 63-9-30(10). c. Child is not an Indian Child: On information and belief, the child is not an Indian Child as defined by the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), 25 U.S.C. Section 1901 et seq., and the provisions of ICWA do not apply to this action. d. Child in Legal Custody of DSS: The child is in the legal custody of DSS, having been removed from the biological parents upon grounds of abuse and neglect. On information and belief, the child originally came into DSS foster care on September 28, 2022. e.

FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST DEFENDANT BIOLOGICAL MOTHER (For termination of parental rights of Biological Mother) 7. All the above allegations, not inconsistent herewith, are realleged as if set out verbatim in this cause of action.

8. Grounds for TPR of Biological Mother’s Parental Rights: On information and belief, and pursuant to South Carolina Code Sections 63-7-2570, the biological mother’s parental rights in and to the child should be terminated. The grounds justifying such termination are as follows: a. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(1), the child or another child while residing in the parent’s domicile has been harmed as defined in South Carolina Code Section 63-7-20, and because of the severity or repetition of the abuse or neglect, it is not reasonably likely that the home can be made safe within twelve months. b. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(2), the child have been removed from the parent pursuant to Subarticle 3 of the South Carolina Children’s Code or South Carolina Code Section 63-7-1660 and have been out of the home for a period of six months following the adoption of a placement plan by court order or by agreement between the department and the parent and the parent has not remedied the conditions which caused the removal. c. The child has lived outside the home of the biological mother for a period of time exceeding six (6) months, during which time the biological mother; (i) has willfully failed to visit the minor child; and (ii) has willfully failed to maintain contact with the subject minor child, despite the absence of any restriction or prevention from contact or visitation by Court Order or by actions of the Plaintiffs, and, therefore the parental rights of the biological mother should be terminated pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570 (3). d. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(4), the child has lived outside the home of the parent for a period of over six months and during that time the biological mother has willfully failed to support the child. e. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(6), on information and belief, the parent has a diagnosable condition(s), including drug or alcohol addiction, which are unlikely to change within a reasonable time, and such conditions make it unlikely that the parent will be able to provide minimally acceptable care for the child. f. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(7), the child has been

abandoned by the biological mother, as defined in Section 63-7-20.

9. The child has thrived in the care of Plaintiffs. It is in the best interest of the child for the parental rights of the biological mother to be terminated so that the child may be adopted by Plaintiffs.

10. Wherefore, Plaintiffs seek the termination of the biological mother’s parental rights.

SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION REGARDING NAMED BIOLOGICAL FATHER- DUSTIN PEAVY (For termination of parental rights of Biological Father) 11. All the above allegations, not inconsistent herewith, are realleged as if set out verbatim in this cause of action.

12. Consent/Relinquishment of Unmarried Biological Father is Not Required: The Plaintiffs allege upon information and belief that Dustin Peavy and the biological mother are not married to each other. Dustin Peavy has not maintained substantial and continuous or repeated contact with Kyhu in that he has not paid a fair and reasonable sum for support, has not visited or had regular communication with Kyhu. Plaintiffs allege the consent of Dustin Peavy is not required pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-9-310(A)(4).

13. Alternative Relief Grounds for TPR of Biological Father’s Parental Rights: Alternatively, if the biological father of the child were to properly file a contest to this adoption, and if it were to be determined that the biological father is a person whose consent is required, on information and belief, the biological father’s parental rights in and to the child should be terminated based upon one or more of the grounds set forth in South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570, including, but not limited to, the following: a. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(1), the child or another child while residing in the parent’s domicile has been harmed as defined in South Carolina Code Section 63-7-20, and because of the severity or repetition of the abuse or neglect, it is not reasonably likely that the home can be made safe within twelve months. b. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(2), the child has been removed from the parent pursuant to Subarticle 3 of the South Carolina Children’s Code or South Carolina Code Section 63-7-1660 and has been out of the home for a period of six months following the adoption of a placement plan by court order or by agreement between the department and the parent and the parent has not remedied the conditions which caused the removal. c. The child has lived outside the home of the biological father for a period of time exceeding six (6) months, during which time the biological father; (i) has willfully failed to visit the minor child; and (ii) has willfully failed to maintain contact with the subject minor child, despite the absence of any restriction or prevention from contact or visitation by Court Order or by actions of the Plaintiffs, and, therefore the parental rights of the biological father should be terminated pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570 (3). d. The child has lived outside the home of the parent for a period of over six months and during that time the biological father has willfully failed to support the child as contemplated by South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(4). e. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(6), on information and belief, the parent has a diagnosable condition(s), including drug or alcohol addiction, which are unlikely to change within a reasonable time, and such conditions make it unlikely that the parent will be able to provide minimally acceptable care for the child. f. Pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-7-2570(7), the child has been abandoned by the biological father, as defined in Section 63-7-20.

14. The child has thrived in the care of Plaintiffs. It is in the best interest of the child for the parental rights of the biological father to be terminated so that the child may be adopted by Plaintiffs.

15. Wherefore, Plaintiffs seek a determination that biological father is not a person whose consent is required for adoption under South Carolina Code Section 639-310(A)(4), and seek the ending and termination of any parental rights the biological father may have in and to the child.

THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST JOHN DOE (For Termination of Parental Rights against any unknown Father) 16. All the above allegations, not inconsistent herewith, are realleged as if set out verbatim in this cause of action.

17. Responsible Father Registry: Plaintiffs’ counsel will search the South Carolina Responsible Father Registry. If the birth father failed to register, this failure constitutes an implied irrevocable waiver of the father’s right to notice of the adoption proceedings. If a birth father has registered, the Plaintiffs will serve him with notice of adoption proceedings. The Plaintiffs allege upon information and belief that this man (John Doe) is not married to the biological mother. John Doe has not maintained substantial and continuous or repeated contact with minor child in that he has not paid support for minor child, has not visited minor child or had regular communication with minor child. Plaintiffs allege the consent of John Doe is not required pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-9-310(A)(4). Alternatively, if the biological father of the child were to properly file a contest to this adoption, and if it were to be determined that the biological father is a person whose consent is

required, on information and belief, the biological father’s parental rights in and to the child should be terminated pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-72570(3), (4), and (7).

18. The child has thrived in the care of Plaintiffs. It is in the best interest of the child for the parental rights of John Doe to be terminated so that the child may be adopted by Plaintiffs.

19. Wherefore, Plaintiffs seek the termination of any parental rights John Doe may have in and to the child.

FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION FOR ADOPTION 20. All the above allegations, not inconsistent herewith, are realleged as if set out verbatim in this cause of action.

21. Plaintiffs Seek to Adopt Child/ Plaintiffs are Fit Parents: Plaintiffs desire to adopt the child, establishing the relationship of parent and child between themselves and the child. Plaintiffs are the fit and proper persons to care for the child and to provide for the child’s welfare.

22. Adoption Investigations: Plaintiffs will be providing an adoptive pre-placement investigation, pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 63-9-520. Further, on information and belief, DSS will be providing a background investigation on the child and the child’s biological family. On information and belief, DSS will be providing the investigation reports to the Court.

23. Adoption Expenses Appropriate: No consideration has been paid to the biological parents to allow this adoption, or to any person or organization other than payment of those costs and expenses which may legitimately be paid under South Carolina Code Sections 16-31060 and 63-9-310. A verified, itemized statement of all payments of money or anything of value made within the past five (5) years or agreed to be made in the future by or on behalf of the Plaintiffs to any person, agency, or organization connected with the adoption will be filed with the Court prior to or at the final hearing in this matter.

24. New Social Security Number: Plaintiffs request that this Court issue an order finding that it is in the child’s best interest for a new Social Security number for the child to be issued.

25. Guardian ad Litem: Plaintiffs move this Court to have a Guardian ad Litem appointed to represent the interests of the child.

26. Other Actions Involving Child: The following action(s) brought by DSS for the removal of the child from the biological parents is/are currently pending in the Horry County Family Court: Case #: 2022-DR-26-2150(DSS child protection and permanency case). Plaintiffs are not aware of any other pending action which involves the child.

27. Wherefore, Plaintiffs seek to adopt the child and seek the other relief set out above.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully pray for an Order providing the relief set forth above, and such other and further relief as this Court shall find just and proper.

The relief which Plaintiffs seek includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1. Appoint a Guardian ad Litem to represent the interests of the child; 2. Terminate the parental rights, if any, of the biological mother, biological father, and any “John Doe” father, in and to the child; 3. Allow the adoption of child by Plaintiffs; 4. Change the name of the child from any other names by which the child may have been known, to names which the Plaintiffs will later provide to the Court; 5. Issue its final Decree of Adoption; 6.

BOYS from Page 1Æ found their offensive rhythm in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Cougars 19-14. However, it was too little, too late, as Cascade Christian secured the victory. Amari Samuel led the scoring with 9 points, Griffin Clevenger added 8, and Hunter Klumpar contributed 5. Dylan Norman and Mark Nueva each chipped in 4 points, while Nate Goode and Logan Taylor rounded out the scoring with 2 points apiece.

As the Cruisers navigate this early-season rollercoaster, the lessons learned from victories and defeats alike will undoubtedly shape their journey ahead. With glimpses of defensive prowess, offensive firepower, and moments of challenge, the team remains poised for growth and development as the season unfolds.

Next Up: Dec. 9th vs Orting at 7 p.m.

BASKETBALL from Page 1Æ Cougars, 48-33.

Opening with an 11-point lead at the end of the first quarter, the Cruisers initiated a 5-0 run at the start of the second, extending their lead to 16 points. The Cougars fought back, narrowing the deficit to 10 at halftime.

Foul trouble again challenged the Cruisers, as they placed Cascade Christian into the bonus early in the second quarter. Fortunately, the Cougars struggled to convert free throws.

Despite facing foul trouble, key players like Bickford, Stammen, and Ella Gendreau played the fourth quarter on the brink of fouling out but maintained their composure.

The Cruisers started the final quarter with a 4-0 run, closing out the game with a 15-point lead and securing their second victory of the season.

"We seem to be cleaning things up each game. We were once again able to get solid minutes from our bench. I am really proud of how well the girls played as a team tonight,” Andersen said.

In terms of scoring totals, Stammen led the way with 15 points, followed by Andersen with 14 and Bickford with 10. Hall contributed seven points and nine rebounds, while Smith added two points.

With a perfect 2-0 record, the Eatonville Cruisers look forward to building on their early-season success.

The Cruisers played Monday and Tuesday night, results were unavailable as of press time. On Saturday, the Cruisers are hosting Orting at 5:30 p.m.
