Eatonville boys tennis battles at West Central District 3 Championships
Eatonville High School’s boys tennis players competed at the West Central District 3 Championships held Nov. 1-2 at the Kitsap Tennis & Athletic Center, facing stiff competition from top-ranked players vying for spots at the 2A State tournament.
Brody Thirtyacre, entering as
the No. 3 singles player from the South Puget Sound League (SPSL), started strong with a victory over Tate Alsoa from Port Angeles in the opening round. His success, however, was shortlived, as he fell to Bremerton's Joseph Cao in the second round, dropping him into the consolation bracket. Thirtyacre rallied with a win against Foss High
School’s Kevin Thai, but his tournament run concluded when he was defeated by Dayshawn Harper from North Kitsap, effectively ending his chance at a State berth.
In doubles, Carl Lucas and Nate Goode entered as the No. 4 team from the SPSL. They faced a challenging start, losing their first-round match to Port Angeles’s
Nathan Basden and Luke Flodstrom, which placed them in the consolation bracket. Lucas and Goode responded with resilience, defeating Fife’s Nolyn Pence and Zain Gunter in their next match to stay in the tournament. However, their quest for state was ended by Austin Worthington and Keatyn Hoch, bringing their season to a close.
The Eatonville players displayed determination in a competitive field dominated by returning 2A State contenders, including standout athletes from North Kitsap, Port Angeles, and Steilacoom. Despite their efforts, both Thirtyacre and the Lucas-Goode duo concluded their runs at Districts, wrapping up their season in the double-elimination tournament.
Orting ends Eatonville’s playoff hopes
By Skip Smith
The Eatonville Cruisers entered Orting Cardinal Stadium Friday night with playoff hopes on the line, needing a victory over Orting and a Steilacoom win over Fife to keep their postseason dream alive. But Orting’s relentless offense ultimately overpowered Eatonville in a 61-36 showdown, ending the Cruisers' season and playoff hopes in the process.
The matchup started with Eatonville aiming to strike first after Orting deferred the coin toss, but their opening drive stalled, forcing a punt. Orting took advantage, marching 78 yards to an early 7-0 lead after Brock Armstrong’s 1-yard touchdown run. Eatonville countered quickly on their first play from scrimmage as Ky Nation took a 65-yard pass from sophomore quarterback Cole Fowler to the end zone, tying the game 7-7. Orting struck back with a swing pass to Mason Belvedere, who rambled 58 yards to regain the lead at 14-7. The Cruisers responded with a powerful 55-yard drive, capped by Fowler connecting with Jacob Simons for a 30-yard touchdown. Ethan Stogsdill executed a perfect two-point conversion, putting Eatonville up 15-14 at the start of the second quarter.
The game remained a fierce back-and-forth, with both teams trading punches like seasoned fighters. Orting’s next drive saw Carson McCall haul in a 13-yard pass, reclaiming the lead at 20-15. Eatonville answered with a 68yard march, capped by another Fowler-to-Nation connection for a 25-yard score, putting them up 22-20. But Orting responded with a 6-yard rushing touchdown by Israel Jensen to take the lead for good at 26-22. By halftime, Orting’s defense had forced a turnover and extended their lead to 33-22.
McChesney-Berube (72), Zach Beane Perdue (75 - back row), Coach Potter, Aaron Tozer (73), Nicholas Shipman (55), Christian Clay (66), Isiah Whatley (56), Ellis Sarpy (78), Ethan Rogers (64), and Anthony Thorlacius. Not pictured - Asher Bamford.
Orting came out swinging in the second half, with Dominic Harris returning the kickoff 75 yards for a touchdown, pushing their lead to 40-22. Eatonville struggled to keep up as Orting capitalized on turnovers and defensive stops, adding several touchdowns, including a 29-yard reception by Belvedere.
Despite Eatonville’s attempts to claw back with touchdowns by Nation and a final score by Axel Stammen, in the closing minutes, Orting’s offense had secured a decisive 61-36 victory.
Reflecting on the game, Eatonville’s head coach Rex Norris acknowledged Orting’s prowess while lamenting the crucial errors that proved costly.
“We knew Orting was going to have some big plays during the game, like they have had all year, but we felt we could match them offensively,” Norris said. “We were able to take a 15-14 lead going into the 2nd quarter. So we felt things were going as planned. However, the loss of a few key players coupled with some timely mistakes

would take its toll and lead to a situation that quickly got out of hand.”
Although the loss ended Eatonville’s season, it marked a remarkable campaign for sophomore quarterback Cole Fowler, who finished only 221 yards short of breaking Eatonville’s 30-year-old single-season passing record held by Bobby Lucht at 2,629 yards. Fowler’s achievements drew high praise from Eatonville’s offensive coordinator, Jazel Riley.
“The fact that Fowler finished the season as the number 3 passer in yardage statewide as a first-time starter is big. The fact that he was so close to breaking a school record is amazing,” Riley said. “If we get that playoff spot, he definitely gets that record. There was not one game we played this season where someone — a referee, opposing coach, or fan — didn’t check with me to verify that he is just a sophomore. While most people got to see the strong arm and video gametype numbers he and that group put up, I got to see the constant

improvement. As we work into the offseason, I hope we realize the opportunity in front of us and put in the work needed to take advantage of it.”
While being the third ranked passer in all classifications, Fowler was the state leader in passing yards in the 2A classification.
Norris also reflected on the impact of his senior class, who played a crucial role in the team’s success.
“It is important to mention that the senior class played a key role in the success we experienced this year,” Norris said. “We had several who came out for either the first time or hadn’t played in a while. Out of the seventeen seniors, players like Kellen Wilkie, Hebron Leasiolagi, and Nate Smith were playing for the first time in their high school careers, with Smith having not played since 7th grade. They didn’t just come to participate; they came to compete.”
Norris praised returning players like Wyatt Weichsler, Cole Bamford, and Clay Christian, who were either coming back from an injury or having taken a year off from playing. All of them played a key role in the success as a team. They helped by creating depth and adding leadership to our team.
The team captains, Ky Nation, Riley Hill, Anthony Thorlacious, and Aaron Tozier, were instrumental in guiding the younger players. “The captains did a great job of being role models and communicating with coaches on how to improve the program,” Norris said.
Reflecting on the season’s challenges, Norris noted the impact of injuries to key players, such as Michael Stogsdill and Riley Hill, who missed games due to a collarbone injury and concussion, respectively. Despite these setbacks, seniors like Dylan Sullivan, Logan Shipman, Nick Shipman, Anthony McChesney, Ellis Sarpy, and Mark
Devera played with consistency, helping lead the team to a winning record.
“Even though the season ended early, the boys can be proud of creating memories that will last a lifetime,” Norris added. “Our coaching staff would like to thank the seniors and the rest of the team for a quality season and for creating such wonderful memories.”
Looking back on the season, offensive coordinator Jazel Riley also had a message for the seniors, reflecting on both their accomplishments and the legacy they leave behind. “I just hope that the seniors enjoyed their final season in the Blue and White. It didn't end the way we wanted, but they did some things that I think they’ll look back on, years from now, and be proud of,” Riley said. “That group added a lot to what is already a rich football tradition that we hope the returning group will build on. We have some pieces that a lot of teams do not have the luxury of having, but that means very little if the work does not come with it. I have faith in these guys and cannot wait to get to work. There is a quote attributed to J.J. Watt that I love: ‘Success is not owned, it’s leased, and rent is due every day.’”
Although Eatonville’s playoff run came up short, the team’s dedication, talent, and growth this season set the foundation for a promising future, building on the legacy left by its senior leaders and the rising potential of its younger stars.

Local students and anti-bullying committee join forces for community dinner
By Eatonville School District
On Friday, Oct. 25, the Eatonville Family Agency Community Dinner provided more than just a warm meal for local residents; it offered a powerful reminder of the community’s shared commitment to fostering safe and supportive school environments. Spearheading the event’s efforts were members of the Eatonville School District’s Anti-Bullying Committee, joined by a group of dedicated middle and high school students who volunteered their time to make the evening memorable.
Darren Sniezak, a member of the committee, delivered an impassioned address to attendees, underscoring the importance of community-driven efforts to curb bullying and promote kindness and respect throughout the school district.
“Our community is united in a mission that goes beyond behavior—it’s about creating a positive, secure space where every student feels they can thrive,” Sniezak said. He highlighted the committee’s ongoing work in partnership with ASB and student leaders to encourage active student involvement in the fight against bullying, ensuring these values are more than ideals but are consistently practiced in daily school interactions.
The district’s anti-bullying and civility program has taken a proactive stance on addressing bullying, recognizing that students’ academic success is closely tied to their sense of safety and belonging in school. Sniezak emphasized that when students feel supported, they are more engaged and confident in their learning.
Beyond the work being done at the student level, Sniezak assured the community of the committee’s dedication to transparency and open communication with families, inviting parents to share their feedback and insights. “An open dialogue with our community is essential,” Sniezak said. “Your input helps us adapt our
approach, ensuring we’re addressing the real needs of our students and families.”
For the students, volunteering at the community dinner wasn’t just an opportunity to help but a chance to lead by example, showing their peers the positive impact of fostering inclusivity and respect. The evening marked a meaningful step forward for the Anti-Bullying Committee, the Eatonville School District, and the local community, working together to ensure a brighter, more supportive future for every student.

October 11, 1983 - September 2, 2024
It is with deep sorrow that the family of Andrew Haviland announces his passing on September 2, 2024, at the age of 40, after a courageous daily battle with Type 1 Diabetes, which he faced since the age of 12.
Born on October 11, 1983, to Mike and Patty, Andy grew up alongside his sister Dianna, creating a childhood rich with memories and laughter. He inherited his father’s passion for fixing things, which led him to pursue a career as a diesel mechanic after graduating from Bates Technical College. His remarkable ability to repair nearly anything was a source of pride for him and a valuable skill to many.
Andy had a zest for life that shone through in his love for fishing, biking, and visiting neighbors. One of his greatest joys was spending time with his grandmother, who lived just across the street. His affection extended to his beloved pet donkey and the family dogs, who brought him endless happiness. He shared strong bonds with his aunts, uncles, and cousins, creating a close-knit family dynamic.
As a loving father to his two daughters, Zivah and Bobbie, Andy’s greatest pride was in watching them grow into kind, polite individuals. His love for them knew no bounds, and he cherished every moment spent in their company.
Andrew is survived by his daughters, Zivah and Barbara; his father Michael (Jane); his mother Patricia (David); his sister Dianna; his niece Baylee and nephew James; his grandmother Norma; along with numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins who will miss him dearly.
In celebration of Andy’s life, a remembrance gathering will be held on November 10th at 1 PM at the Eatonville Eagles. The family invites all who knew him to come share their memories and honor the impact he had on our lives.

Eatonville Cruiser girls soccer battles to districts with Gritty Week of Play
By Skip Smith Contributing Writer
The Eatonville Cruiser girls soccer team concluded a high-stakes week with three intense matchups, sealing their place in district play.
On Monday, the Cruisers faced a tough away challenge against the second place Steilacoom Sentinels. Deadlocked at 0-0 after the first half, Eatonville made critical halftime adjustments that sparked the team’s offense. Midway through the second half, Linnea Lofgren delivered a precise assist to Kalli Olson, who broke the tie with a well-placed shot. However, the Sentinels responded quickly, equalizing just minutes later. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Eatonville returned home Tuesday for a special Senior Night matchup against Orting, where the team honored seniors Haley Courson, Mary Van Eaton, Hannah Hanson, Caedee Dunn and Tierney Amaral. The celebration turned into a wake-up call as Orting struck early, scoring within the first 30 seconds to take a 1-0 lead. The early deficit sparked the Cruisers into action as they took control of
possession and tempo, dominating the remainder of the game. Early in the second half, Eatonville equalized with relentless pressure and generated multiple scoring opportunities, but neither side could find the net again.
The game concluded in a 1-1 draw, capping an emotional night for the Cruisers’ senior players.
The 7th seeded Cruisers hosted the 10th seeded Sequim Wolves in the first round of the West Central District 3 playoffs on Saturday. With damp, challenging field conditions, both teams struggled to build momentum. As the clock wound
down, Eatonville capitalized on a critical defensive lapse by Sequim. Courson seized the opportunity, netting the game’s lone goal with just 12 minutes remaining. The Cruisers' defense held firm to secure a 1-0 victory, sending Eatonville into the second round of the double-elimination district bracket.

Kathy Ann Marie LaDoux left her earthly home to live forever with her Lord and Savior on October 7, 2024. Kathy passed peacefully in her home in Eatonville, Washington with her family by her side. She won her battle with cancer and is now rejoicing in perfect health!
Kathy was born June 25, 1952 to William A. Yohey and Evelyn G. Yohey (McBride) in The Dalles, Oregon. She spent her childhood living in Cody Logging Camp located on the Mt. Hood National Forest near Wamic, Oregon, where her love and appreciation for the beauty of creation began. One of Kathy’s greatest pleasures was to spend time looking at, hiking on, and picnicking around “her “mountain, Mt. Rainier.
Kathy went to grade school in Wamic, Oregon, graduated with honors from Maupin High School in 1969, and went to Business College in Portland Oregon. That all changed when she met and married Ted LaDoux in 1971. Ted worked for the U. S. Forest Service and, as Kathy often said they “lived in some of the most beautiful places in the world.” After starting their married life in The Dalles, Oregon, Ted and Kathy moved to a remote forest service ranger station on the eastern slopes of Mt Hood National Forest, near Maupin, Oregon, then Packwood in Washington where Kathy and family were welcomed with the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Home life in the winter centered around running their two sons, Brandon and Brent LaDoux “up the hill to White Pass to ski.” When their sons were in elementary school, the family moved to Eatonville, Washington… which was perfect because Kathy had a view of Mt. Rainier from her kitchen window.
In Kathy’s life, strangers were just new friends to be made so becoming a USPS Rural Mail Carrier was the perfect opportunity for Kathy to make new friends. In 2014, after 25 years of service Kathy retired knowing how much she would miss seeing her fellow workers and customers on a daily basis. Kathy’s fellow workers and customers missed her infectious smile, her caring heart, and her diligent attention to service.
Kathy’s desire to learn included Genealogy, boating, and travel. She and Ted had the opportunity to visit several countries including their countries of ancestry, Scotland, and Croatia. They were blessed with many adventures and great shopping during their travels.
In her life Kathy believed that there was no greater joy or responsibility than spending time with and loving her family. Her granddaughters, Sydney and Quinn shared her love of cooking, entertaining, seasonal decorating, swimming, and her enthusiasm for life. There was always something new to learn or try!
Kathy was preceded in her home going by her Father and Mother, William and Evelyn Yohey. Kathy is survived by Ted LaDoux, her husband of 53 years, her son Brandon LaDoux and his wife Carrie, granddaughters Sydney and Quinn, her son Brent LaDoux and his wife Susan, her cousins, her many, many friends and cat Max!
Celebration of life services will be held at Eatonville Baptist Church on November 9, 2024, at 2:00PM, followed by refreshments.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid an estimate of $429,579.92. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $42,957.99 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $42,957.99 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made
payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD field office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $429,579.92, as of 12/5/2024, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Join Pierce County’s Comprehensive Plan update
By Tacoma Weekly
Before the cool chill of autumn set in Pierce County even before the long days of summer took root, the Pierce County Council Chambers were buzzing with activity week after week with work on the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update.
The Comprehensive Plan provides a framework that guides the dayto-day decisions of County staff and elected officials related to land use, housing, transportation, capital facilities, climate change, and the environment. The Washington State Growth Management Act directs cities and counties to conduct a periodic review and update of their Comprehensive Plan every 10 years.
For Pierce County, the periodic review was this year, and a Comprehensive Plan update must be adopted by Dec. 31. The Council’s Community Development and Environment Committee (CDEC) has led the legislative effort for this large and vital project, and community participation has been an integral part of that process.
“Land use planning is so important to get right. The decisions we make today in this Comprehensive Plan update will guide how our County will grow well into the future,” said Robyn Denson, Pierce County Councilmember for District 7 and Chair of the CDEC. “These decisions impact how and where we grow, which is important for our natural and built environment and highly impacts our overall quality of life. The community interest and engagement in this work has been exciting and appreciated; I’m happy people are taking a proactive role in shaping our communities.”
The CDEC moved O2024-553s out of Committee on Oct. 7, as amended, and forwarded the proposal to the full council with a dopass recommendation. Final council action on O2024-553s is scheduled for Nov. 12 and will likely get a vote to continue to Dec. 3, 2024.
The CDEC received presentations from PPW staff on Monday, Oct. 7 and Monday, Oct. 21, which outlines the proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan that were informed by the preferred alternative. The presentation addressed housing, land use, transportation, environment, and climate goals for the next 20 years.
Key takeaways from those presentations include housing density increases near transit, increasing affordability and reducing rural development pressures; expansion of sewer services and transportation infrastructure in urban areas; environmental goals like urban tree canopy and land conservation; a review of urban growth area (UGA) change recommendations in Pierce County, recommending certain areas for removal from the UGA due to development constraints (e.g., flood hazard zones or lack of infrastructure) while retaining other areas with greater urban growth potential; and a review of the Capital Facilities Plan, which outlines infrastructure needs, costs, and longterm transportation project needs to accommodate growth, including roadway expansions and pedestrian/bicycle facilities.
The next milestone was Monday, Nov. 4, when the CDEC held its first public hearing on a final proposed Comprehensive Plan update. Councilmembers will have an option to submit amendments.
As Pierce County moves toward finalizing its 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update, community engagement and thoughtful planning will remain at the heart of this critical process. You can stay current on upcoming meetings and planning materials at piercecountywa.gov/950/ comprehensive-plan.
