Scottye Miller, 31, was sen-tenced last Friday to an excep-tional sentence of 50 years in prison for the fatal stabbing of his

ex-girlfriend in her Auburn apart-ment in 2012.

A jury last month found Miller guilty of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon enhancement for killing Tricia Patricelli, 33, whom

prosecutors said he stabbed at least 30 times in the brutal attack.

The jury’s verdict included two aggravating factors: Miller’s do-mestic violence pattern of abuse of multiple victims; and that he

had reoffended after his release two weeks earlier from prison, where he’d served a sentence for assaulting and threatening to kill Patricelli.

The Jan. 10 sentencing was

before Judge Barbara Linde at the King County Courthouse. Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorneys Andrienne McCoy and Tuyen Lam handled the case.

City Councilmembers Largo Wales and John Holman are big on the idea of a downtown parking guru, a parking czar, a clearing house for all things parking related.

Both are keen about updat-ing assumptions underpinning parking plans and the plans themselves in light of a rapidly-changing, dynamic downtown on the cusp of major building projects.

They agree that property own-ers, business owners, customers,

everybody affected by changes to parking should be notified of them ahead of time. Perhaps, they said, the City could set up a new section of the City’s website (www.auburnwa.gov) to make that possible.

Pioneer Elementary School won a $100,000 Stanley Security Safer Schools grant after taking fourth in the compa-ny’s nationwide online voting contest.

The grant will help improve safety and security at the 54-year-old Auburn elementary school with Stanley Security installed products and services.

“Thank you so much for your votes and your outreach,” Pioneer Elementary Principal Debra Gary said.

The school hosted a contest apprecia-tion assembly last Friday in the gymna-sium to thank participants and celebrate its students’ accomplishments. More than 550 elementary school students, parents, teachers from the school and other local officials, business leaders and Stanley representatives attended.

Contest results were announced Jan. 9.

Faith Christian Academy of Sellers-ville, Pa., was the grand prize winner and the recipient of a $200,000 grant.

South Pointe Elementary of Miami Beach, Fla., and Montessori School of Dayton in Kettering, Ohio, joined Pioneer as runners-up, each winning $100,000 in Stanley Security installed products and services.

Pioneer and Auburn’s Mt. Baker Mid-dle School were among the 969 schools that competed for grants.

“Finishing anywhere in the top 10 demonstrates success in this national contest due entirely to our community of supporters,” Gary said. “We appreciate the incredible effort, creativity and tenac-ity in your outreach. We were not able to predict what our competition would be or how this contest would unfold, but we were determined to stay creatively en-

gaged and try everything we could think of, learning as we went. What we found out is that we have a great community that cares about the safety of children in

schools.”The purpose of the Stanley program is

to make communities and schools safer by providing funding opportunities.

TAKING FLIGHT

By ROBERT WHALE

[email protected]

Burlington Coat Fac-tory in The Outlet Collec-tion mall owes the City of Auburn $100 for retrieving and disposing of one of its shopping carts.

At the same time, Alb-ertsons on Auburn’s south end is on the hook for $500 for five abandoned shop-ping carts now residing at the City’s Maintenance and Operations yard on C Street Souththwest.

That’s what all of the businesses bound by the City’s 8-year-old aban-doned shopping cart regulations owed it as of Jan. 2, based on the latest billing in November, accord-ing to maintenance and operations manager Randy Bailey.

Bailey, who oversees the program for the City, brought leaders up to date Monday at the Municipal Services Committee meeting.

In a typical year, Bailey said, the program collects between $2,500 and $3,500.

Chairman Bill Peloza concluded that the program is working as its framers meant it to.

“I think the shopping-cart policy we have does help keep the city cleaner than if we didn’t have something in place,” said Peloza, committee chair-man. “Then we’d have a real shopping-cart epidemic, like we did before we started this program.”

Peloza was a member of the council that crafted and adopted the ordinance in March 2005. At that time, the hazards abandoned carts posed to pedestrians and motorists were a major concern.

The ordinance:• Makes it unlawful to

cause or allow any shopping cart to be abandoned on any sidewalk, street or other public area, other than the

business establishment to which it belongs.

• Specifies that every shopping cart owned or provided by any owner has to have a sign permanently attached so it can be identi-fied should it go astray.

• If a cart lacks that information, the City may pick it up and take it to the maintenance and opera-tions yard until its owner retrieves it or the City disposes of it, at the owner’s expense.

• Specifies that the public must be informed that taking a shopping cart from its owner’s premises is actually illegal.

Typically, enforcement is a smooth-running operation.

Bailey said that when the north Albertsons store went out of business in 2013, it left some non-locking carts behind.

“Albertsons corporate decided to have the south Albertsons take care of those carts. So that caused a little issue with the manage-ment down there,” Bailey said. “But then we were picking up their locking carts actually out in town, and the manager couldn’t figure out how we were doing that. He thought we were stealing them out of their parking lot.”

Bailey said the City is usually pretty close to 100 percent on its collections.

“We might forgive a cart here and there. But it is pretty unusual to have Albertsons with the five carts. Usually, the time when we have issues is when we get carts from Federal Way … and they won’t come and get them.”

Mayor Nancy Backus had a suggestion.

“Shove ’em down High-way 18,” Backus said to laughter.

“It’s all downhill,” added Councilmember Wayne Osborne.

City’s shopping cart retrieval program rolls on successfully

PelozaIn REspOnsE to public safety concerns about the intersection of West Main and c Street NW/SW, the city of Auburn is implementing northbound and southbound right-turn restrictions for tractor-

trailers. Signs are to be posted on or about Friday on the north and south approaches to the intersec-tion indicating the new turning restrictions. The restrictions are being implemented because of

physical constraints at the intersection that cannot accommodate right-turn movements for tractor-trailers. Alternate route maps for truck access can be downloaded at www.auburnwa.gov.

Backus elected to sCA board

Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus has been elected to the 2014 Board of Directors of the Sound City Associa-tion (SCA), which rep-resents 36 cities in King County and provides a regional voice for nearly one million people.

Backus is one of six new board members of the SCA, which is governed by a 13-mem-ber board.

The SCA provides a voice for King County cities through leader-ship in areas such as economic and com-munity development, transportation, land use, health, government operations, the environ-ment, education, public safety, social welfare and other public policy issues.

Last Friday’s sentencing for an Auburn man who pleaded guilty to the 2012 stabbing death of his cousin has been continued to Jan. 24.

Bradley Courville, 25, pleaded

guilty last month to second-degree murder with a deadly weapon enhancement. Courville, who goes by the nickname “Red Cloud,” faces a range of 15 to 23 years in prison.

About 1:18 a.m. on Dec. 24, 2012, Auburn police found 26-year-

old Quinn Oliver dead at a home in the 4000 block of Auburn Way South. A woman at the residence told police that before Oliver died, he had staggered inside and said that “Red Cloud” had stabbed him.

Courville told police that the victim called him a name and he

reacted by stabbing him multiple times.

Courville also pleaded guilty to third-degree assault for assaulting an Auburn police officer after his arrest.

Courville faces a sentence range of just under 15 to 23 years in

prison. Prosecutors will recom-mend 19 years in prison. The Jan. 24 sentencing is at 2 p.m. before Judge LeRoy McCullough in courtroom 4A at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

On Nov. 22, 2013, 31st District Reps. Christo-pher Hurst and Cathy Dahlquist co-published a report on the 2013 session in the Washington State House of Representatives, congratulating themselves on overcoming the so-called “partisan divide” in Ameri-

can politics.What our legislators

fail to tell us is that their shared agenda in Olympia is not in the best inter-ests of the people they represent. Dahlquist, a Republican, and Hurst, an “Independent Dem,”

claim to be “elected officials from

different political parties working together.” In fact, they find a shared agenda not in spite of their political party affiliation but because they both support policies and leg-islation that benefit the wealthy and their corporatist allies at the expense of working people.

Hurst and Dahlquist have consis-tently voted against legislation that

would keep toxic, cancer-causing flame retardants out of our babies’ cribs. In 2013 this legislation (ESHB 1294) passed the House along mostly partisan lines, with all but 2 Democrats (if Hurst is included) voting in favor and only 1 Repub-lican voting against. Ultimately passage of the Toxic-Free Kids Act was blocked in the Senate in large part due to the defection of Rodney Tom from the Democratic Party. Corporate interests frequently

Support the school tech levy on Feb. 11

A technology replacement levy is being placed before Au-burn School District voters on the Feb. 11 special election.

Technology is a vital part of our students’ education. Computers, laptops and digital devices are a major need for all district students.

Because the district is retir-ing bonds, there is no increase in school taxes to raise the $22 million needed to provide these technology resources.

District voters should vote yes for this technology levy.– Harold B. Valentine

City needs to help homeless, not itself

Other have had their say about a letter to the Reporter by young Alex Gasperi (“Plan needed for the homeless out in the cold”, Dec. 13). Let me explain how our government works.

In 2005, our mayor and City Council decided we needed new and much improved “digs” for our elected officials. New kitchen, new and private rest-room, new reception area and nice glass doors. A good-looking desk for the mayor and a new work space for the council.

Not enough, said our rulers.Millions of dollars later we

get 2½ floors of a new building

to replace what many called “tavern row.” Away with those awful taverns and those not so influential employees. The revenue they produced? Who cared? Certainly not the folks at City Hall. They still had their jobs, their power and a multi-million dollar budget to tinker with.

Enter 2008. The bottom drops out of the economy. Roads to maintain. Utilities to maintain. People losing their jobs and their homes. City buildings needing repairs and maintenance. Drop in tax revenue.

Homelessness? I could not find a single person inside City Hall who was homeless. What I did find was people seeking shelter under bridges and in doorways of a partially vacant building out by the City-owned airport.

That city budget? Looks real bad, but no sweat. Time for an-other new office for the mayor.

Transportation a pressing issue in South King County

There’s a lot of buzz out there right now about the possibility of a new transportation package that includes funding for some new projects and completion of projects already under way.

The House of Representatives approved a package late last spring, but the Senate has yet to pass either that bill or an alternative. However, I spent a good part of November and December in multiple meetings with

other legislators and Gov. Inslee, working on a plan that will meet the needs of all parts of the state.

Let’s face it; the needs are there – especially in our part of King County. There’s a lot of focus on the mega-projects north

of us, like the Alaskan Way viaduct and the 520 floating bridge. But our end of the county is too often ignored.

Take the Puget Sound Gateway, for ex-ample. Completing SR 167/SR 509 will pro-vide a direct link from the Port of Tacoma to Kent – the second largest distribution center on the West Coast. A full 44 percent of trucks leaving the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma are heading in our direction. Additionally, it would provide a much-needed connection for agricultural products moving from the fields and orchards of Eastern Washington to the port for export overseas.

It is estimated that 100,000 vehicles per day will use SR 167 once it’s done, signifi-cantly decreasing traffic on I-5 and improv-ing safety. Trucks must use surface streets through neighborhoods to get to Kent, and the accident ratio on the non-freeway section of the route are 20-70 percent higher than the statewide average for similar roads.

What about jobs? Experts believe that a completed SR 167 could fuel job growth by $10 billion or more if the Port of Tacoma expands its international cargo operations – something it plans to do if there are

DEEP BLUE IN SEAHAWK PRIDE

The diagnosis of ADHD (attention deficit hyperac-tivity disorder) has grown dramatically in recent years. Some recent studies are reporting that 1 in 5 high school boys are being diagnosed with ADHD and the number is increasing.

While the di-agnosis of ADHD should be made by a child’s medi-cal doctor after a careful evaluation of all the factors involved, there are times when the cause of the hyperactivity can be difficult to pinpoint.

Based upon my studies in the last year surrounding the dentist’s role in evaluat-ing and assisting physicians in treating sleep apnea, some of those patients may actually be misdiagnosed cases of sleep apnea.

Some who are reading this may be asking, “What does sleep apnea have to do with ADHD? Isn’t sleep ap-nea basically a middle-aged

obese guy’s issue?” Those readers would be correct. By far the most common person with obstructive sleep apnea is in fact an overweight male over 40. However, at least 30 percent of those eventually

diagnosed with the condition do not fit that profile. Patients of all ages, gender and size can have sleep apnea, including young children.

I can hear the reader asking the

next question, “How does that work? Aren’t kids with ADHD by definition hy-peractive, not sleepy?” That is true. However, adults and kids react differently sometimes. When adults don’t get enough sleep, they are tired the next day. Kids don’t always respond that way. They often get hyper-active during the day and exhibit symptoms like poor behavior or performance in school, crankiness, lack of focus and daydream-

ing. These are very similar to the symptoms used to diagnose ADHD.

The next logical question would be, “So what types of things should a parent look for? How do you tell the difference between true ADHD and symptoms that may be caused by a lack of oxygen during sleep?”

There are things to look for, that your pediatrician or a properly trained dentist should be able to see and share with you. Tell them if your child snores, or has been diagnosed with ADHD previously as part of their medical history review. Ask them to look for enlarged tonsils, a high palate, a small lower jaw or crooked teeth.

Other signs may include sweating heavily at night and bed wetting in younger children or at least frequent trips to the bathroom. These all point toward the need for evaluation for Ob-structive Sleep Apnea.

Poor sleep also affects growth and development, including a ten-dency toward obesity, which only makes the sleep apnea problem worse due to increased fat depos-its around the neck.

What should a parent do if they see some of these symptoms in their child? The first thing is to realize that timing is critical. A chronic lack of oxygen to the brain of a developing child can

have serious consequences to their cognitive development, not just their behavior. Get them eval-uated by a dentist or orthodontist trained in sleep apnea screening or a pediatrician or ENT specialist knowledgeable in pediatric airway issues. Obstructive sleep apnea can only be diagnosed in children through sleep testing procedures done in a hospital setting.

Depending on the diagnosis, a child may have to have their tonsils and adenoids removed.

An orthodontist may also need expand the upper jaw to properly develop the floor of the nasal cav-ity and further develop the jaws to make room for the tongue.

This evaluation should be done early in life, when the baby teeth are still present, if you suspect sleep apnea or hear your child snoring routinely.

Snoring is not normal, especial-ly in children, except when they occasionally have a cold or allergy issues. The old idea of waiting to

have orthodontic evaluation until all the permanent teeth come in is outdated and, for a child with sleep apnea issues, could have dangerous and permanent conse-quences to their overall health.

If a parent suspects or has been told that their child has ADHD, they owe it to them to look at sleep apnea issues as a possible cause or contributing factor be-fore placing a child on a lifetime prescription of ADHD medica-tion.

There are several qualified dentists, orthodontists and ENT specialists right here in Auburn that are be able to help you save your child from the complications surrounding undiscovered sleep apnea. Get them evaluated today.

While we’re at it, let’s get some new furniture and a big new suite for our human resources department.

When the golf course can’t take care of itself, just grab a fist full of dollars from the general fund.

The second floor of City Hall has empty space, lots of it. It has a full kitchen, public restrooms, carpet on the floor. Dry. Warm. Clean. A perfect place for public officials to talk about homelessness, Alex.

Certainly Auburn has many peo-ple involved in providing services for the less fortunate. Our food

bank, churches, community supper volunteers, Pregnancy Aid, to name only a few. But when our mayor and council had money to spend did they use it to fight homeless-ness? No, they did not. They used the money to make themselves more comfortable.

Thank you, Alex, for grabbing the attention of so many people in Auburn. Thanks to your mother who cared enough about another person to offer her help.

We will end homelessness when our elected officials stop helping themselves.– Virginia Haugen

[ LETTERS from page 5 ]

According to court records, at about 8:30 a.m. that day, a down-stairs neighbor heard a woman screaming in Patricelli’s apart-ment. Shortly after that, a second neighbor looked outside and saw a man, later identified as Miller, come down the stairs from Patricelli’s apartment, throw items over a fence, jump the fence and run east.

The neighbor then saw another man, Patricelli’s boyfriend – who had discovered her body – walk down the stairs and talk on a cell phone. The man with the cell phone, who was talking to Patricel-li’s mother, asked another neighbor to call police.

Police later found Patricelli dead in her bathroom of numerous stab wounds.

At about 10:10 a.m., patrol of-ficers saw a man with blood on his clothing who matched the descrip-tion of Miller and arrested him at the nearby Top Food & Drug on Auburn Way North.

During the subsequent interview, according to the police statement, Miller told detectives that he had been involved in a romantic, dating

relationship with Patricelli for about four years and that the two had previously lived together. At first, he denied stabbing Patricelli, though he admitted to having sent her numer-ous texts threatening to beat and kill her. He claimed he had found her dead, but according to the police statement, finally admitted that he had gone to Patricelli’s apartment and argued with her. According to the police statement, Miller told detec-tives that he had “snapped”, put on a pair of gloves, armed himself with two knives and stabbed her to death in her bathroom.

The King County Medical Exam-iner estimated that Patricelli had been stabbed at least 22 times in her neck, face, torso and back.

Before the murder, Miller had more than 15 convictions for domestic violence related offenses dating back to 2002, involving Pa-tricelli and other victims, including convictions for felony harassment, fourth-degree assault, six court order violations, third-degree as-sault, tampering with a witness and telephone harassment.

Patricelli was the client advocate for New Connections of South King County in Kent.

improved connections to move freight to the docks.

Additionally, the construction of that six-mile stretch between Puyallup and Tacoma (origi-nally included in the highway’s design 30 years ago, by the way) would generate nearly 950 di-rect jobs and 2000 indirect jobs per year of construction.

The transportation needs of South King County have been ignored for too long. It’s time – past time, really – for the Puget Sound Gateway to be funded

and built. The economic growth of our area is just as important as the economic growth north of us. No other planned project is more valuable in terms of job creation, economic vitality, increased capacity, vehicle and freight mobility and safety.

The package approved by the House did include funding to complete two lanes. We don’t yet know how much the Senate will fund, if anything.

What do you think? Should building this highway be a priority for me? How should we pay for it and other projects in

our area? What about transit?I hope you will join me this

Saturday between 10:30 a.m. and noon in the Covington City Hall Community Room to discuss these issues further. The address is 16720 SE 271st St., Suite 100 in Covington.

obstruct any regulation of busi-ness even when science shows such rules are needed to protect public health.

Hurst and Dahlquist also seem to agree that preventing discrimination in our electoral process is not a priority. They both oppose HB 1413, a bill that would prohibit election districts that are drawn or maintained in a manner that denies an equal opportunity for members of a race, color, or language group to elect candidates of their choice. This bill passed the House without a single Republican legislator voting in favor, while Rep. Hurst voted against it.

Giants in finance and indus-try have bankrolled legisla-tion in many states through such agencies as the American Legislative Exchange Council and Americans for Prosperity in

order to undermine the Voting Rights Act, because that makes it more difficult for people who don’t agree with them to exercise their right to vote. I am proud to live in a state where our legislature wants to make it easier for everyone to be fairly represented in our government. It is a shame that our state Rep-resentatives in the 31st District don’t share that pride.

Hurst and Dahlquist also claim to support education in Washington state “to help train the next generation of work-ers,” yet both opposed a bill to invest in the education legacy trust account. HB 2038 would provide funds for K-12 basic education and higher education by narrowing or eliminating tax loopholes that overwhelmingly benefit big businesses, including the multi-national mega-cor-porations BP and Shell Oil, but which do nothing to encourage

or stimulate the growth of the local small businesses from whom our representatives say they get all their “good ideas.”

Once again, the vote on this bill went along mainly partisan lines, with Hurst and Dahlquist both voting against this increase in funding for our troubled educational system and in favor of tax loopholes for Big Oil.

In conclusion, it is obvious that Reps. Hurst and Dahlquist do share an ideology. The fact that they agree so often demonstrates their allegiance to an economic dogma that favors wealthy, out-of-state special interests over their own constituents.

Brian L. Gunn is a political activ-ist in the 31st Legislative District who is a member of the board of the Washington State Progressive Cau-cus. He is also state committeeman of the 31st LD Democrats. He made an unsuccessful bid for state Repre-sentative in the 31st LD in 2012.

And all said they believe that the City should keep up the pressure on Sound Transit to build the second transit parking garage it promised the City in the 1990s.

All of those ideas are included in the draft of the new Comprehensive Down-town Parking Management Plan.

Members of the Mu-nicipal Services Commit-tee, including freshman councilwoman Yolanda Trout, shared ideas Monday with City planners as they

trotted out a draft of the plan for inspection.

Two years in the making, the wide-ranging plan is meant to address down-town parking needs in the short term, i.e., a year out, and in the long term, 6 to 10 years out, said Planning Manager Elizabeth Cham-berlain.

And, Chamberlain stressed, the plan is not meant to be an academic exercise.

“We want a document that’s used, not a study that ends up sitting on a shelf like past plans have … something that we really

use in the short and long term,” said Chamberlain,

Chamberlain and plan-ner Gary Yao began work in 2011, completing an on-street and off-street parking supply-and-demand analysis. Next, they surveyed downtown property owners, business owners and residents, and got back 100 surveys.

And with each new development, the duo ran their work through the Planning and Community Development Committee.

Committee members on Monday read, listened, commented, and finally sent the plan on to the full City Council for a vote,

along with a recommenda-tion that that vote be yes.

First up, Chamberlain said, should the full council approve the plan, would be to start working on assign-ing three-hour, on-street parking throughout the downtown, ensuring that parking is finally assigned consistently.

Three-hour parking, according to the survey, is what folks interviewed for the survey said they wanted, across the board.

Wales was quick to offer at least one reason why some businesses would wel-come three-hour parking.

“Three hours is really im-portant to the hairdressers

in the area. … for people who get permanents, it takes three hours,” Wales said. “It’s really hard for some of the seniors because that’s their day to get their hair done, to run out in rollers and find another spot when their time is up.”

Holman chimed in.“I like the fact that (the

plan) strikes a balance. It identifies that parking users are not just a person and their automobile. It’s residents that live down-town, it’s businesses that are downtown, it’s visitors that are coming to shop down-town, and then commuters, and they all have separate stakes, and they use park-

ing differently. And so … we’re not just trying to use one model for each type of parker.”

Holman went on to stress the importance of having a central person, which is one of the recommendations in the plan. That way the City could delegate responsibili-ties and tasks out to depart-ments as needed via a single point of contact for this.

“And I like the fact that (the plan) crowns the cus-tomer, the person parking, as the best, highest priority need. Because that’s the person that’s coming in to spend money in our busi-nesses,” Holman said.

[ PLAN from page 1 ]

recreational marijuana businesses to the ban, if passed.

Two medical marijuana busi-nesses – Pacific Green Collective and Chronic Solutions – are open in the same business complex on Stewart Road in Pacific. Pacific Green, which opened during a lapse in the City’s moratorium, has operated for more than a year.

Chronic Solutions opened less than

six months ago as a nonprofit, which is not required to obtain a business license from the City to operate.

Mayor Leanne Guier said the City is conferring with lawyers from the Association of Washington Cities.

“They’ve been giving us some guidelines and suggestions,” Guier said.

The Washington State Liquor Control Board – which oversees the production, processing and retail-ing of marijuana in the state – has

received more than 5,000 applications for pot businesses, which became legal with the passage of Initiative 502.

Although there is no limit on how many processor and production li-censes the state can issue, the WSLCB has capped the retail license total at 334, with 17 at-large retail locations allotted to Pierce and 11 at-large to King.

The WSLCB will hold a lottery to decide which applicants receive retail licenses.

The photographs and writ-ings of George L. Kinkade were a revelation for Hillary Pittenger, the White River Valley Museum curator of collections.

For nearly a decade the museum’s collection of prints – featuring the amateur nature photography of Kinkade, an Au-burn native and former typesetter for the Auburn Globe Republican newspaper – sat unappreciated in the museum’s storeroom.

“We’ve had the collection for a while, but it really came to our

attention when a junior member of the photo club George was a member of, called Photo Alpine, came to us and said, ‘Wow, you have this collection from a guy I know,’” Pittenger said.

A number of the dozens of black-and-white, 16-by-20-inch prints in the collection, accompa-nied by Kinkade’s writings, form the museum’s newest exhibit, Alpine Photography of George L. Kinkade, which runs from Jan. 15 to June 1.

According to Pittenger, who assembled the collection, she was overwhelmed once she began to dig into the collection to prepare

it for display.“I just fell in love with him,”

Pittenger said. “He’s my favorite historical figure now. He was so modern and so forward thinking. The things he wrote don’t seem so surprising to us now. … That a person’s personality really comes out in the wilderness and that everybody should spend some time there.

“He talks about the immensity of time and space and things that were not generally public dis-course in Auburn in the 1930s,” she added. “And he also saw so many changes in the wilderness areas. He was born in 1906 (and

died in 1975), so he actually saw the creation of the Olympic Na-tional Park. He saw the creation of the North Cascades National Park in the 1960s. He was a big advocate of wilderness areas being preserved so you could go and see landscapes like these.”

Artistically, the photos reveal an eye for composition, texture and light that transcends the typi-cal amateur snapshot fare.

“I just thought they were so well done for someone who was doing amateur work,” Pittenger said. “He could have just taken his little Kodak camera and that would have been enough if he just liked

how the mountains looked. But he spends the time learning how that photography worked. He was re-ally doing a piece of art. He wasn’t just documenting how a moun-tain was supposed to look, he was trying to evoke an emotion and the sense he got from being on a peak of a mountain or looking up at a glacier. And he was such a fan of texture and seeing how rich he could make the mountain seem without color. To me, that makes them even more evocative.”

As we head into the New Year it is natural for us to re� ect on the past as we set new goals for the year ahead. The real estate market in 2013 saw many positive trends both regionally and here in Auburn. For example, in King County prices jumped 9.9% and in Auburn that trend continued with nearly a 10% increase in average sold price year over year. Industry experts predict continued job growth in our community and a continuation of favorable low interest rates will help continue to support another good year in Real Estate.

MISS AUBURN OUTSTANDING TEEN CONTESTANTS

PORTRAITS BY KATRInA AMBURGEY PHOTOGRAPHY

By ShAwN SkAGER

[email protected]

For Brynne Geiszler, 28, the-ater has been a lifelong passion.

“My first role was when I was 5 months old and it was baby Jesus,” Geiszler said. “Then I did church plays and school plays. It’s always just been a part of my life.”

On Friday, Geiszler – an Au-burn High School and Cornish School of the Arts graduate – adds the role of Yellow Girl in the Tacoma Musical Playhouse’s production of “Shout! The Mod Musical” to her resume.

“It’s a musical about the swinging ’60s in London,” she said. “There’s not necessarily a plot from beginning to end. It’s more of an embodiment of the ‘60s and what these five women go through as the years go on.”

Featuring music from the 1960s, including hits from artists such as Dusty Springfield, Petula Clarke, LuLu and Nancy Sinatra, the musical follows the lives of the women, brought together by the music magazine “Shout!”, as they take a journey of self-dis-covery set against the backdrop of swinging London from 1964 to 1970.

“It’s all women living in London, but my character is the only American,” Geiszler said. “I moved there to basically stalk Paul McCartney.”

The role of Yellow Girl is a bit of a stretch for Geiszler.

“(My character is) driven by my emotions. I’m American, loud, uninhibited,” she said. “Each

character is very distinctive from each other. It’s very similar to how I am. I think it fits me well, which sometimes is more of an acting challenge, playing yourself because I have to figure out how to be me. What do I normally do. You have to analyze yourself. It’s much easier to analyze a character from the outside, when it’s you it’s much more personal.”

For Geiszler, it’s all part of the process.

“I’m addicted,” she said. “It makes me feel really happy to get to go outside myself and create something with different groups of people. Even if you do it with different people, it’s a different experience. And you’re always learning about yourself and dif-ferent things.

“One of my favorite things about doing theater is learning about the time period of the story,” she said. “I guess I’m a fan of his-tory in that sense. I find character study really interesting and just throwing myself into that role.”

The Tacoma Musical Play-house’s production of “Shout! The Mod Musical” runs Jan. 17 to Feb. 9, with 8 p.m. shows on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 o’clock matinees on Sundays. Matinees will also be staged on Feb. 1 and 8. Tickets are $29 for adults, $27 for seniors, students and military and $20 for children under 12.

The Tacoma Musical Play-house is at 7116 6th Ave., Ta-coma. For more information or to buy tickets, call 253-565-6867 or visit www.tmp.org.

FOR ThE REPORTER

Auburn’s Abigail Miles travels to Chicago in March to compete as a national finalist against the winners of the six other divisions in the Music Teachers National As-sociation (MTNA) Senior Voice Competition.

Miles, daughter of Jennifer and Jerry Miles, earned the opportunity after winning the state’s MTNA Senior Voice Competition at El-lensburg in November and the Northwest Division Competition at Reed College in Portland Ore., last Saturday.

A junior at Auburn Riverside High School, Miles has been studying voice for four years and is a student of Darcie Fulkerson,

Covington Voice Studio. Miles is accompanied by Debora Mackey.

Miles’ performed four songs during the competition, includ-ing “Un’ Ombra di Pace” by

Giovanni Bononcini in Italian, “Liebesbotschaft” by Franz Schubert in German, “Love’s Philoso-phy” by Roger Quilter in English and “Con que la lavare?” by Joaquin Rodrigo in Spanish.

Miles is a member of the Auburn Riverside High School choir. She

enjoys musical theatre and is in rehearsal for the role of Miss Sandra in Auburn Riverside High School’s upcoming production of “All Shook Up”.

She also is an accomplished pianist and plays the violin in the Auburn High School Orchestra.

She is serving as ward chorister in her local congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The national finals are March 22-26 at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile. The national winner receives a cash prize and performs in a Winners Concert during the conference.

Music Teachers National As-sociation is a nonprofit orga-nization composed of 22,000 independent and collegiate music teachers committed to advanc-ing the value of music study and music making to society and to supporting the professionalism of music teachers.

Founded in 1876, Music Teachers National Association is the oldest professional music as-sociation in the United States.

Tye Dutcher isn’t too keen on labels.

Bring up the terms “handi-capped” or “disabled” and the Auburn Riverside junior – who lost his left foot in a lawnmower accident when he was 11 – isn’t shy about explaining why he views them as negatives.

“The terms ‘handicapped’ and ‘disabled’ make me think of people who can’t do something they want to do,” Dutcher said. “It’s a discouragement when I hear that. I don’t want to give up on anything. If I’m pursuing something, I don’t want to be called that or told I’m disabled and that I can’t do some-thing. In my mind, I know that I can do it.

“With all this technology and so much inspiration in the world, all these people telling you that you can do anything you put your mind to, I’m encouraged to have a positive attitude,” he added. “If you’re negative, you’re not going to get anywhere.”

And for Dutcher – a talented swimmer and water polo player for the Ravens – it’s this positiv-ity coupled with faith that helped him overcome the amputation of his foot and endure two years of recovery and therapy.

When the accident happened in 2008, Dutcher and his family were living in Merced, Calif.

His father, Doug, was mowing the lawn with a riding lawnmower while Dutcher, then 11, played around.

“I had a wooden rubber band gun, and I was sneaking up behind him,” Dutcher recalled. “He didn’t know I was behind him. He reached the end of the lawn and put it in reverse. I stumbled to the ground as he was coming towards me, and the back tire ran over me and the mower got my foot.

“He got up and just looked

shocked and was in tears,” Dutcher continued. “He lifted the lawn-mower up on its side, came to me and tells me he loves me and that he was sorry.”

Auburn Riverside (6-3, 9-4) was led by Derek Brown’s 27 points, with Derek White chipping in with 13 and Drew Wallen and Joshua Turner contrib-

uting 11 points each.On Tuesday the Trojans

defeated SPSL North 4A foes Mount Rainier (2-7, 3-9) 61-87, with Ruffin notching 30 points and Prader 28.

Auburn played Kent-Me-ridian (2-5, 4-7) on Thurs-

day, with results unavailable at press time. The team hosts Kentlake (1-8, 4-10) at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

At 5 p.m. Monday, the Trojans take on Foss (7-3) in nonleague action in the King Showcase at the ShoW-are Center in Kent.

“And he was just hugging me telling me, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’ And I was saying I’m sorry too, and I was crying. It literally felt like a nightmare,” he said. “My foot was gone. I don’t remember seeing any blood or even the lawnmower on the side, but my foot was gone. It was really surreal.”

Dutcher was airlifted to the UC Davis Medical Center in nearby Sacramento, where he received four operations in the next 11 days.

“Once I got there they put me in the ER and laid me on the table,” he said. “I could feel the cold from the table on my leg, but I couldn’t feel it on my foot. The doctors came to comfort me and I asked if we could pray.”

With the help of a family friend and physical therapist, Dutcher spent the next year rehabbing and learning to navigate without his foot.

“The recovery was difficult in the beginning,” Dutcher said. “But my mind was focused on the bigger goal of being able to walk and run again.”

Dutcher said it was his faith that helped get him through it all.

“There were a lot of times where I asked God why?” he said. “I got through by just be-

ing patient, reading scripture and setting my mind toward Jesus and what he wanted me to do and sharing my testimony with other people. It was patience and a lot of prayer that got me through.”

He cites his favorite Bible passage as key to his recovery.

“It’s Joshua 1:9,” he said. “‘Have I not commanded you? Be strong and coura-geous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.’ That verse really encouraged me and helped me push through.”

His faith would continue to serve him.

“After a year of therapy, I had to have another surgery because my bone was grow-ing from the bottom down,” Dutcher said. “It was another full year of the healing process and therapy.”

After two years, Dutcher was finally able to return to water polo and swimming.

“Once I got into the pool, the first time back playing wa-ter polo, it was different,” he said. “But I feel like I adapted really well to not having a foot and trying to be as fast as the other guys. Eventually I was as fast and continued to com-pete. I strive to be the best that I can and be an inspiration to others through sports.”

Dutcher also began reach-

ing out to others, sharing his story and talking about faith that got him through.

“I stopped thinking self-ishly and thinking more about other people when I had more surgeries,” he said. “I just wanted to share how the Lord Jesus healed me and tell everyone to live life to the fullest and get back up from any hard circumstances where you might fall down.”

He also credits his family, his father, Doug, mother, Kim, and his four siblings for helping him to stay focused.

“They were really big sup-porters,” Dutcher said. “They really helped me get through it and think positive.”

About a year ago, Dutcher and his family moved to Washington and he began attending Auburn Riverside High School.

Now, six years after the accident that took his foot, Dutcher says he wouldn’t change anything.

“I feel like I really became stronger after it happened,” he said. “Honestly, I would not go back to having two feet. There were just so many blessings, the Lord has really helped give me strength to push on. It’s really helped my mindset to become more positive and to encourage other people when they are negative.”

rucker to play at BYu in 2014

Michael Rucker, a 2012 Auburn Riverside gradu-ate, will return for his second season of collegiate summer baseball for the Bellingham Bells of the West Coast League, the club announced this week.

Rucker – a 6-foot-1 right-handed pitcher – played for the Bells last

year, posting a 1.80 ERA, allowing just two earned runs in 10 innings while striking out 12.

“Michael has the abil-ity to be one of the best pitchers in the league. His stuff can be electric,” Bells pitching coach Jim Clem said. “During the time he played for the Bells last summer, Michael did a terrific job. He is a great talent.”

Rucker, who played his freshman season at Gonzaga University, trans-ferred to Brigham Young University this past year. After sitting out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, Rucker will play his sophomore season with BYU this spring.

Rucker was 1-0 with two saves in 2012 as a freshman at Gonzaga in Spokane.
