Man gets 50 years for fatally stabbing ex-girlfriend By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
Scottye Miller, 31, was sentenced last Friday to an exceptional sentence of 50 years in prison for the fatal stabbing of his
ex-girlfriend in her Auburn apartment in 2012. A jury last month found Miller guilty of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon enhancement for killing Tricia Patricelli, 33, whom

Pioneer Elementary wins $100,000 school security grant Pioneer Elementary School won a $100,000 Stanley Security Safer Schools grant after taking fourth in the company’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 appreciation assembly last Friday in the gymnasium 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 Sellersville, 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 Middle 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 tenacity 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-

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 example. Completing SR 167/SR 509 will provide 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, significantly decreasing traffic on I-5 and improving 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 [ more SULLIVAN page 7 ]

Support the school tech levy on Feb. 11 A technology replacement levy is being placed before Auburn 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 retiring 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.
Letters policy The Auburn Reporter welcomes letters to the editor on any subject. Letters must include a name, address and daytime phone number for verification purposes. Letters may be edited for length. Letters should be no more than 250 words in length. Submissions may be printed both in the paper and electronically. Deadline for letters to be considered for publication is 2 p.m. Tuesday. In 2005, our mayor and City Council decided we needed new and much improved “digs” for our elected officials. New kitchen, new and private restroom, 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.

Christopher Hurst and Cathy Dahlquist co-published a report on the 2013 session in the Washington State House of Representatives, congratulating themselves on overcoming the socalled “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 interests of the people they represent. Dahlquist, a Republican, and Hurst, an “Independent Dem,” claim to be “elected officials from Brian L. Gunn

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 Cityowned airport. That city budget? Looks real bad, but no sweat.

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 Republican 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 [ more GUNN page 7 ]

DEEP BLUE IN SEAHAWK PRIDE The Valley Regional Fire Authority Dive Team took its Seahawk spirit to the bottom of the pool on Blue Friday last week.

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 hyperactive, 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 hyperactive during the day and exhibit symptoms like poor behavior or performance in school, crankiness, lack of focus and daydreamDr. Stuart Rich
DENTAL HEALTH
The diagnosis of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity 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 diagnosis of ADHD should be made by a child’s medical 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 evaluating 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 apnea basically a middle-aged
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 Obstructive Sleep Apnea. [ more dr. rich page 7 ]

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.

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 Representatives 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 workers,” 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-corporations 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.

No other planned project is more valuable in terms of job creation, economic vitality, increased capacity, vehicle and freight mobility and safety.

[ MURDER from page 1 ] According to court records, at about 8:30 a.m. that day, a downstairs neighbor heard a woman screaming in Patricelli’s apartment. 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 Patricelli’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 officers saw a man with blood on his clothing who matched the description 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

At first, he denied stabbing Patricelli, though he admitted to having sent her numerous 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 detectives 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 Examiner 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 Patricelli and other victims, including convictions for felony harassment, fourth-degree assault, six court order violations, third-degree assault, tampering with a witness and telephone harassment.

SHAWN SKAGER, Auburn Reporter
Geiszler displays her talent in Shout!
Lexie Smith
For the Reporter
Brynne Geiszler, an Auburn High School and Cornish School of the Arts graduate, plays the role of Yellow Girl in the Tacoma Musical Playhouse’s production of “Shout! The Mod Musical.”
sskager@auburn-reporter.com
For Brynne Geiszler, 28, theater 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 Auburn 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-discovery 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 different 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 history in that sense. I find character study really interesting and just throwing myself into that role.” The Tacoma Musical Playhouse’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 Playhouse is at 7116 6th Ave., Tacoma.

Dutcher defies limitations and labels Auburn boys top
Auburn Riverside
By Shawn Skager sskager@auburn-reporter.com
Tye Dutcher isn’t too keen on labels. Bring up the terms “handicapped” 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 something. 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 positivity 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.

www.auburn-reporter.com [ dutcher from page 18 ] “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 courageous. 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 growing 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 water 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 compete. 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 selfishly 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 supporters,” 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.”
