This is always a fun show to see and we are thrilled to have them here. Admission will be by donation at the door. We are doing this show as a benefit for the White Pass coalition annual toy drive. Money or toys (in good shape) will be accepted. This will be the last event we have planned in here for this year. We are looking forward to a busy 2007.

Hello, my name is PFC Nathaniel Gazaway and I am a member of the Washington Army National Guard. Like many know, the 81st Armoured Brigade was called up to provide their great service to the country. Almost 4000 soldiers were forced to leave their home and families to defend peace here in the Middle East. I was one of those soldiers.
I graduated Eatonville High School in 2003. It hasn't been long since I left that great city, but I've been married and I had a little girl named Ashlynn. My wifes name is Marcia Gazaway, also a 2003 graduate of Eatonville High School.
I just wanted to let the town know that I am very proud to be defending our country, especially the city of Eatonville. If you would please post this on the internet or print it in the Dispatch and let people, especially the students of Eatonville High know, that I have made it here with no problems and I am waiting to leave for my mission in Saudi Arabia.
And please, could you let Mrs Sally Danielson, an English teacher at the High School know that I am fine. She was really worried that I might come over here, so if you could let her know that I'm fine and will be okay. An email from home from time to time will make the time here go by faster knowing how things are going.
God bless and take care.
PFC Nathaniel Gazaway

The Forest Stump Series from Pack Forest
It was a cold, cloudy day at Pack Forest. There was a promise of rain in the forecast. Mason, Duane and I were sitting around a fire in Pack Hall when Mason turned and said, ”You know each plant out there has a story....” I knew there must be thousands of plants and that meant there were thousands of stories.
Those stories can be found in mystery form at the Pack Forest Website.
Forest Stump likes to think of himself as a modern day version of Sherlock Homes specializing in plant mysteries. He likes to hike around Pack Forest with a camera and take pictures of unusual things he can't explain.
Forest has two friends that know everything about the forest and can give hints to explain the pictures.
Mason is a well educated forester who helps Forest with logic, experimental studies and well documented evidence.
Duane is the computer guru that can point Forest to key words to search the internet.
Visit the Pack Forest website to see the latest Forest Stump Mystery.

Travel in off-season rewards winter visitors
by Carol Pucci
Seattle Times travel writer
We were digging into bowls of honest beef stew - the kind with chunks of beef, potatoes and carrots far too large to be eaten with the spoons provided - when John Sparrow shoved a few tables aside and opened up his guitar case.
It was a winter Saturday night at the Copper Creek Restaurant, three miles from the entrance to Mount Rainier National Park, and we were in for a treat. READ MORE

NISQUALLY BASIN BABE RUTH BASEBALL
Serving youth ages 13-15 in the Yelm-Rainier-Roy-Eatonville & McKenna Communities
A group of committed volunteers associated with the Nisqually Basin Cal Ripken Youth Baseball League (Cal Ripken is a division of Babe Ruth Baseball) are taking the first steps to gather interest for the 2007 Babe Ruth Baseball Season.
With the blessing of District Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken League Officials, the reorganization of the Babe Ruth League will allow the Nisqually Basin Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken programs to be jointly administrated by a single volunteer board. Combining the programs will eliminate the the question of which league a 13 year old Ripken "graduate" may seek to play baseball. Kids starting at age 5 in the Cal Ripken program will experience a smooth transition at age 13 into the Babe Ruth program. Kids new to the Babe Ruth program or who have previously played in other leagues are welcome as well.
For the 2007 season there will be significant changes in coaching and administrative volunteers. All volunteer endeavors are to help kids have access to the best programming and league experience that can be developed for them in the community.
All interested parties are invited to reply to add prospective players to the 2007 Season Interest list. Those on the interest list can expect further communication after Nisqually Basin Babe Ruth representatives attend the annual scheduling meeting with District Babe Ruth officials, where approximate season dates will be set, a preliminary game schedule will be drafted and an amount will be set for 2007 registration fees.
Questions, comments or to volunteer, please respond to: yelmbaberuth2007@yahoo.com 360-561-3816 nbcr.baberuthnetwork.com
