EHS girls basketball team improves to 2-0

Bailey Andersen nets

record 45 vs. MWP

By Skip Smith Contributing writer

After having their season opener against the Morton-White Pass Wolves postponed and rescheduled because of the recent snowstorm, the Eatonville Lady Cruiser basketball team finally got their season underway last week when they hosted Foss High School in a non-league matchup, with the Cruisers trouncing the Falcons, 75-31, to give first-year head coach Deanna Andersen her first win.

The Cruisers followed up with a 7861 win over the Morton-White Pass Timberwolves on Saturday in a game where Cruiser sophomore point guard Bailey Andersen broke Hailey Rath’s scoring record by dropping 45 points.

Deanna Andersen and Bailey, her daughter, didn’t have the scoring record in mind going into the game.

“Neither Bailey nor I had any idea about the record,” Deanna Andersen said. “She knew the record was set by Hailey Rath, of course, because we saw her set it, but I didn't know until after the game that she had beaten it.”

Bailey Andersen was equally unaware.

“I didn’t realize until I looked at the

scoreboard that I had made it,” she said. “It’s amazing because Hailey Rath left big shoes to fill.

“I could have never broken this record without having a strong team that is willing to fight for everything,” she added.

The Cruisers trailed MWP by 12 after the opening quarter, slowly clawing their way back into the game,

and only trailed by five at the half. Andersen led all scorers in the half with 16 points.

Eatonville opened the third quarter by taking the lead on an 11-3 run. Andersen scored 14 of the team's 19 points in the quarter and helped extend the Cruiser lead to four, at 52-48.

In the final frame, the Lady Cruisers

put the game away by out-scoring the T-Wolves 26-13, with Andersen scoring 15 of those points on her way to her record-breaking 45 to give Eatonville a 78-61 victory.

In the Cruisers’ season opener, Eatonville bullied their way to a 44-point victory, 75-31.

MWP spoils Cruiser boys’ season opener

By Skip Smith Contributing writer

The Eatonville Cruisers ran into a buzzsaw Saturday night in their season opener when they hosted the Morton-White Pass Timberwolves. The T-Wolves torched the Cruisers, 103-61.

The Cruisers kept it close in the opening quarter, trailing by seven as they entered the second quarter. That is when the Timberwolves’ leading scorer, Hunter Hazen, and crew put

their feet on the gas and outscored Eatonville to extend that lead to 16 at the break.

After the half, the T-Wolves didn’t let up, putting up 29 points in the third quarter to Eatonville's 18, which gave MWP a 27-point lead, 81-54, entering the final frame.

Foul trouble hampered the Cruisers late in the game. Three key players fouled out, allowing the Timberwolves to hold Eatonville to only seven points in the quarter while

Savvy Senior: Little known property-tax relief programs help seniors save

Dear Savvy Senior, I recently learned about a property-tax relief program for seniors in the county where I live. Apparently, there are hundreds of these programs across the country that many retirees, like me, are eligible for but don’t know about. What can you tell me about this?

— Overtaxed Eddie

Dear Eddie,

Great question! Residential property-tax refund and credit programs exist in nearly every state, but unfortunately few people know about them. These programs can help retirees and many other Americans by reducing their property taxes. Here’s what you should know.

RISING PROPERTY TAXES

Property taxes are a major source of income for local governments, but while they help fund key public services, they can be a financial drain for many homeowners, especially retirees, many of whom live on fixed incomes.

According to Attom Data Solutions, a propertydata provider, the average American household paid $3,785 in property taxes in 2021, but this amount varies widely depending on your state’s tax rate and your home’s estimated value. For example, New Jersey residents paid $9,476 per year on average in 2021, while West Virginia residents paid $901.

To help ease this tax burden, most states offer a number of property-tax relief programs. But states aren’t always proactive in letting people know. It’s up to you, the homeowner, to find out what’s available in your county or city that you

may be eligible for, and to apply.

RELIEF PROGRAMS

Property tax relief programs, sometimes called exemptions, release eligible homeowners from paying some or all of their property tax obligation. How long the exemption lasts can vary depending on where you live, and the reason you’re applying for the exemption.

The tax-relief process varies by county, city or state. In general, you’ll have to meet certain eligibility requirements, submit an application and provide documents that support your request. Most programs will either reduce, waive or freeze property taxes for seniors, veterans, surviving spouses, disabled and low-income

residents.

But there are some counties that also offer basic homestead exemptions to homeowners regardless of age or income, and others that may provide exemptions to homeowners that have recently made energy-efficient improvements to their home.

WHERE TO LOOK

The best way to learn about local property-tax relief programs and their eligibility requirements is to visit your county, city or state website that collects your property tax. Most of these sites also provide applications and instructions, and will allow you to apply either online, by mail or at your local tax office.

Another good resource for locating programs in your area is the Lincoln Institute, which has a property-tax database that lets you browse programs across the country. To access it go to ResidentialPropertyTaxReliefPrograms.org.

AARP may also be able to help through their Property Tax-Aide service – see PTAconsumers. aarpfoundation.org. This free program, which is available in 13 states (Arizona, Colorado, Florida–Miami Dade County, Illinois-Cook County, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York and North Carolina) and the District of Columbia helps eligible homeowners and renters apply for relief.

Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee, speaking from the University of Washington Medical Center Northwest in Seattle at a Friday morning press conference, mentioned in broad terms five behavioral health policy proposals he would be asking of lawmakers during next year’s legislative session.

The governor noted in his opening remarks that the site of the press conference would be the home of a new behavioral health teaching facility, the results of a bill passed in April 2021 to improve access to mental health care.

It will be, “… the very first teaching, dedicated mental health teaching, hospital in the history of the United States. This is certainly worth celebrating, and we are well on the way of getting this hospital built. I look forward to its opening, hopefully in June 2024,” he said.

Inslee continued: “I want to talk about five things we will be asking of the Legislature this year.”

He outlined the following:

• First, the governor called for lawmakers to expand the availability of intensive services for children and youth.

• Second, Inslee stressed the importance of fully funding a therapeutically designed hospital constructed on the Western State Hospital campus in Lakewood to care

for forensic patients.

• Third, the pipeline of talented people who provide mental health services needs to increase, the governor said.

• Fourth, according to Inslee, community-level intervention needs to be more robust, noting that the state has been building out mobile crisis teams in Washington since 2017 that need to expand geographically and in scope.

• Fifth, competency restoration programs must be expanded, the governor pointed out.

Specific behavioral health care legislation and the cost of that legislation will be in the governor’s forthcoming budget proposal ahead of next year’s 105-day legislative session that runs from Jan. 9 through April 24.

“All will be revealed next week,” Inslee assured. “I won’t give you the dollar figures today, but they will be significant. Look, this is a big problem. It needs a big investment, and you can’t do this on the cheap, so we will be proposing some very significant investments in this realm to actually get this job done.”

Inslee seemed optimistic about the prospect of his asks getting through the Legislature in 2023.

“So, in conclusion, we have come along way in the last several years, but we have a long ways to go,” he said. “This is a year for big progress in the state of Washington.”

‘Significant investments’: Inslee previews legislative plan for behavioral health

A warm stew to chase the chill away

As the mercury dips and snow and ice make conditions outside less inviting, a warm and welcoming meal inside can be just what the doctor ordered.

This recipe for “Jalapeno Pork Stew with Pickled Onions” from “Real Simple Dinner Tonight: Done!” (Time Home

Entertainment) is tailormade for a cold day. This hearty dish will warm anyone up, both from the heat of the stew itself and the spicy kick of the jalapenos.

JALAPENO PORK STEW WITH PICKLED ONIONS

Serves 8

• 4 tablespoons olive oil

• 5 pounds boneless pork shoulder or butt, trimmed

and cut into 2-inch pieces

• 2 tablespoons ground cumin

• Kosher salt and black pepper

• 3 tablespoons allpurpose flour

• 1 cup fresh orange juice

• 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained

• 12 cloves garlic

• 1 to 2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and sliced

• 1 large red onion, thinly sliced

• ¼ cup red wine vinegar

• 1 1-pound package frozen cut okra

• 1 ½ cups grits

1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork with the cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. In batches, cook the pork until browned, turning occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate.

2. Add the flour and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pot and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add the orange juice, tomatoes, garlic, jalapenos, and 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Return the pork to the pot, cover, transfer to oven, and cook until the pork is tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss the onion with the vinegar, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let sit, tossing occasionally, for

at least 30 minutes (and up to 4 hours).

Skim off and discard any fat from the stew. Add the okra. Cover the pot, return it to the oven, and cook until the okra is tender, about 15 minutes. If the stew is too thin, place the pot on the stove and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes more.

4. Meanwhile, cook the grits according to the package directions. Serve with the stew and marinated onions.

Dear staff, parents, guardians and community members —

As we approach the holiday season, I cannot help but be so very thankful. I want to take this opportunity to personally thank our students, staff, families and community members for their support and/or service to Eatonville Public Schools. Each staff member has an important and valuable role in our district. Their commitment, contributions and collaboration are actions that make us better together.

We are also thankful that students are engaged in learning, extracurricular activities and athletic events with the support of families and the community.

Eatonville School District is thankful for every student, family, staff member and community partner that makes

Eatonville a great place to be. Thank you for your resilience, patience and grace, and thank you for your continued support as we navigate another amazing school year. We all belong here, and we can accomplish so much together.

NATIVE AMERICAN MONTH

Last month was Native American Heritage Month. It is a time to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, traditions and histories of Native Americans and to acknowledge their significant contributions to our world.

Want to learn more?

Check out these links:

• Governor Inslee: Native American Heritage Month and Day Proclamation (at nwpb. org).

• OSPI Native Education (at www.k12. wa.us).

VETERANS DAY

In honor of Veterans Day,

students and staff around the district participated in a variety of activities to honor those who have served and those who continue to serve our country. They also shared photos of family members who have served and sharing history.

LEADING COLLECTIVE EFFICACY

Instructional teacher leaders and administrators are focusing on learning and leading collective efficacy in schools. Collective efficacy refers to the shared belief that through their collective action, educators can influence student outcomes and increase achievement for all students (Donohoo 2017).

So what is “Collective Teacher Efficacy” anyway? It really boils down to this: As a team, we believe in each other and that what we’re doing is going to have a positive effect on students. This could relate to grade level teams, content area

teams, and even entire schools across a span of grade levels.

A big shout out to our K-12 instructional leaders:

• Jane Hatzinger, WES

• Josh Heersink, EES

• Christian Tonkinson, EES

• Susie Maida, WES

• Rita Adams, EMS

• Allison Meines, EMS

• Mike Moeller, EHS

• Rachael Hight, CCA

• Heidi Holland, EES

MENTOR PROGRAM

We are thankful for Sheelah Ridgway and Matt Pederson’s work with our mentors and mentees. They are currently leading and coordinating mentoring with our new staff.

LEADERS OF THE YEAR

Starting this year, we will recognize several staff members and community members of the year including:

• Classified Staff Member of the Year

• Teacher of the Year

• Administrator of the Year

• Volunteer of the Year

• Community Partner of the Year

Be on the lookout for more information to be released as we launch this new program.

“The girls came out a bit sluggish and started to warm up in the second a bit but were still not playing like themselves,” Deanna Andersen said. “They really got fired up at halftime so that we could come out more aggressive. Finally, the spark ignited, and they started playing, not just reacting.

“To quote one of my seniors, ‘We are more like family than a team,’ and I believe that in how much they support each other and have faith that each member can do their part to get the win,” she said.

Eatonville got things started on their opening possession when Bailey Andersen hit from the right side of the key to give the Cruisers a 2-0 lead. They never relinquished the lead.

The Cruisers reeled off 15 straight points to open the game and held the Falcons scoreless until the final seconds of the first quarter when Andrea Tillman laid the ball up and in to give Foss its first points of the game. That 15-2 run put the game out of reach early and allowed the Cruisers to pile on more points as the game progressed.

In the second quarter, Foss put up more of a fight and scored 12 points to Eatonville’s 17. The teams headed to the locker rooms at halftime with the Cruisers leading, 32-14.

Andersen scored 10 of her game-high 25 points in the third quarter to extend Eatonville’s lead to 50-24 as the teams headed into the final quarter.

Junior Sara Smith poured in six points in the final frame to help Eatonville come away with the victory.

“I’ve been so happy with how everyone has stepped up,” Deanna Andersen said. “Sara is another leader on the court for us. She is really quarterbacking the team and making sure people get where they need to be and helping some of the players newer to varsity. The communication, overall, has really improved. It’s nice to know I’m not limited to five players and those on the bench will also contribute.”

Next, the Lady Cruisers host the Cascade Christian Cougars at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.
