Phillip to face second trial in Frankel murder case

By Steve Hunter shunter@kentreporter.com

Phillip

William L. Phillip Jr., faces a second trial starting Feb. 24 in Kent because jurors couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict last week about whether he stabbed Seth Frankel to death in 2010.

King County Superior Court Judge

Andrea Darvas declared a mistrial Dec. 18 after the 12 jurors deliberated for one-and-a-half days. Phillip is in custody in the county jail on the firstdegree murder charge.

Jurors considered whether Phillip stabbed Frankel to death on May 21, 2010 in the home he shared in Auburn

with Bonny Johnson, a woman each man loved. The trial lasted six weeks.

Frankel was a video program coordinator for the city of Kent.

“It’s obviously always disappointing to have a trial of that length and to not have an outcome and have to do it all over again,” Patrick Hinds, deputy pros-

ecutor, aid in an interview last Friday after Darvas had set a new trial date at the Maleng Regional Justice Center.

Hinds said the mistrial came as a disappointment for Frankel’s family as well.

His father, Richard Frankel, traveled from his home in Hawaii, and his [ more TRIAL page 14 ]

Local Boy Scout troop to leave BSA

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Local Boy Scout Troop 835 will no longer be associated with the Boy Scouts of America beginning Jan. 1.

According to Scoutmaster Jim Brass, the 12-member troop – formerly based in Pacific – intends to leave the BSA and start its program under the nonprofit organization he already manages, Help Northwest, based in Auburn.

“The name for our new program is Help Northwest Youth Corps,” Brass said. “We will continue to serve any youth

in the area that wishes to be part of our organization and adhere to a moral code.”

Brass cited the decision the BSA made in May, when more than 60 percent of the organization’s 1,400 member national council voted to allow openly gay youth to join scouting, effective Jan. 1.

“I grew up in scouting more than 50 years ago,” Brass said.

“But it’s their decision to go away from the traditions of Boy Scouts and do things that we believe are not moral. I’m just not comfortable with the [ more TROOP page 2 ]

MAGICAL

Hope, inspiration through art Autistic savant artist shares his passion, studio with others

BY MARK KLAAS mklaas@auburn-reporter.com

When Michael Tolleson takes up a brush, his autism paints.

In strokes of vivid color and harmonizing hues, he creates outstanding, and outstandingly beautiful, art.

Tolleson in-breathes the emotional

tone of a landscape, a person or a situation, and in one hour or less exhales an inspiring piece. His medium of choice, acrylic, lets him finish a work even before the paint has dried.

The resulting oil-like painting is revealing, almost impressionistic.

foundation provided STEM/ robotics displays and school musicians.

“We’re not supplementing the district funding, it’s ‘in addition,’ to allow the district to do more,” Beckwith said. “The funds the district gets generally have some strings attached so it can only do x, y and z. This gives it the flexibility to expand upon programs specific to Auburn school students.”

Beckwith is the assistant attorney for the City of Federal Way. He and his wife, Natalie, are parents of three young children, Wendy, 9, Nina, 6 and Titus, 4.

New to the area, the family got involved when the search was on for trustees.

“I submitted my name, but little did I know that not long after that I’d be a trustee, and shortly thereafter I’d be the president,” Beckwith laughed.

The board meets once a month in the ASD’s board room.

“Ultimately, the monies that we raise are turned over to the district and the district figures out how best to use those,” Beckwith said. “The parameters we’ve set are that is has to be raising money for science, technology, math, music and Extended Learning. The district is going to have a big role in determining exactly what that looks like.”

Brass added: “It also seems to me to be a double standard,” he said. “A boy and girl wouldn’t be allowed to stay in the same tent together, so why should two gay boys be allowed to stay in the same tent or make straight kids feel unsafe?”

Brass said the decision to leave, voted on by the troop’s board with input from scouts, was gut wrenching.

“It was horrible. I’ve been in scouting almost my entire life as a scout and scoutmaster,” he said. “It’s heartbreaking. We hate walking away. It was a very difficult decision. There are other troops leaving too.

“We’re also very sad that we’re losing the Boy Scout name because there is such a recognition to such things as Eagle Scouts.”

Initially, Brass said, he hoped to have his troop join a “great new program starting called Trail Life.”

However, because Trail Life – which describes itself as a “Christian adventure, character and leadership program for young men” that doesn’t allow girls, the decision was made to form the Help Northwest Youth

Corps.

“Troop and Crew 835 has both boys and girls,” Brass said.

Despite the departure from the national organization, Brass said, the Help Northwest Youth Corps will continue his troop’s emphasis on service and disaster preparedness.

“We’re going to continue to do disaster response, support our food bank and help the community,” Brass said. “We’ll just do it under a different name. Just this (past) Saturday we (gave) out Christmas gifts to 200 kids.

Although the decision and reasons for leaving BSA are likely to be controversial to many, Brass said he wasn’t afraid of backlash from the community.

“There is no fear when you’re trying to keep a moral compass and doing what is right for the kids and the community,” he said. “Scouting has always been a wonderful program and taught a moral base and great skills. We don’t hate anybody, we love everybody. We’re just not comfortable exposing our youth to what we think is wrong.”

Brass added that he hopes the BSA some day reverses its decision to allow openly gay scouts into the organization.

“My great hope is scouting will go back to the way it was so we can return to it,” Brass said.

Living long, living well Timi Gustafson

expect to live just under 50 years. In the year 2000, it was nearly 77. The average lifespan was lengthened between 1.5 and 2.7 years per decade, according to data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau.

What’s even more stunning is that our chances of living longer seem to go up all the time. How so?

“Because the more time you spend in the world, the more time the world gives you,” says Ted C. Fishman, author of “Shock of Gray”.

“For every hour we live,” he claims, “the average human lifespan increases between 11 and 15 minutes. Every day sees the average lifespan grow another five hours.”

Of course that doesn’t apply for everyone across the globe, Fishman admits.

“Your odds are better if you have avoided the obesity epidemic and live in a place that enjoys good health care, education, and freedom from war and terrible poverty.”

It also helps if you can manage to stay mentally fit and don’t suffer from memory loss and cognitive decline. A loving family, a

circle of friends and other supportive social surroundings add to your chances.

Unfortunately, many of these important factors for longevity cannot be taken for granted. Baby boomers, now entering retirement, are rightly worried about their prospects when it comes to their financial security, health needs and social life.

More recent studies show that life expectancy gains in the U.S. have actually flattened out since the 1960s. Despite dramatically increasing expenditures for health care, many Americans live with chronic diseases that are left insufficiently treated, especially among the uninsured and those with limited coverage. One study concluded that poorer citizens have, on average, a shorter lifespan of up to five years than the more affluent.

Obviously, money can’t buy everything, and life remains an uncertain enterprise no matter how rich you are. For the rest of us, there are plenty of oppor-

Americans may be less optimistic about the future in general than they once were, but a solid majority still hopes to enjoy a long life. In fact, longevity is considered by most as part of a good life, on par with health, prosperity and loving relationships.

Sixty percent expect to live at least until they’re 80. Forty percent think 120 to 150 years could be feasible within their own lifetime because of further advancements in medical and biological technology. And one percent believes that death could eventually be eliminated altogether, according to a survey conducted by David Ewing Duncan, a science writer and author.

Considering that twothirds of the population is dealing with weight problems and a host of lifestylerelated diseases, this may be wishful thinking for many. But the fact is that the average life expectancy has indeed dramatically increased over the last century because of improved hygiene, diet and medical care.

In 1900, people could

tunities to take care of our health and well-being by eating right, exercising, etc. (you know the drill) – and for this, it’s never too early to get started.

Researchers have found that physical fitness achieved during middle-age can lower the risk of developing chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure in later years and may be associated with compression of morbidity at old age.

Compression of morbidity is what many health experts consider the optimal outcome of aging. The idea is “to delay the onset of age-related disease and inevitable decline without worrying about extending life,” writes Dr. Andrew Weil, author of numerous best-selling health books.

Longevity itself should not be our first concern but the quality of life we have as long as we are around, he says.

Pacific approved for new, less costly ACW insurance policy for 2014

By Shawn Skager sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Pacific passed another milestone on its road to recovery this past week with the news that the city will get a new insurance policy with the Association of Washington Cities Risk Management Service Agency starting Jan. 1.

The City Council was expected to approve the new insurance at its Dec. 23 regularly scheduled meeting.

Just a year ago the city was in shambles, its insurance through Canfield and Associates cancelled, thanks CRIME

Since the recalling of Sun in July, Pacific’s new adminstration has worked hard to right the former administration’s wrongs, including hiring for vacant department positions Sun refused to fill, and trying to establish a less-risky, more stable enivironment at City hall.

At the Dec. 9 City council meeting, Guier presented councilmembers with a proposed interlocal agreement between Pacific and the AWC’s Risk Management Service Agency (RMSA) that would, with

several stipulations, allow Pacific to reenter the risk pool.

Among the numerous stipulations the City of Pacific must meet in the proposed agreement are: • complete claims training provided by the AWC RMCA for all clerks, secretaries and risk managers responsible for claims submission within six months; • complete AWC “Elected Officials Essentials” training for elected/appointed mayor, council members, commissioners and board members within six

months; • complete AWC RMSA “Being an Effective Board Member” training for all civil service commission and park board members within six months; • contact the AWC RMSA before taking any personnel action that may result in the termination of any employee, supervisor or department head; and • submit the City’s “Personnel Policies and Procedures” handbook to the AWC RMSA. The agreement also calls for any Pacific employees who drive a City vehicle

to complete a defensive driving course every three years, in addition to an Emergency Vehicle Operating Course mandated every three years for police officers.

Guier said the AWC is to provide training courses free to the City.

Christmas is such a special time of year that I always try to mentor the young married couples and those preparing for the big fall to understand just how hopeless and happy it all really is.

At a certain crossroads in my life I learned an essential lesson when buying presents for Christmas or Valentine’s Day, or any other present-giving trap day.

I am sure you have heard the axiom, “it’s the thought that counts.” If you believe that one you had better be adding lots of 151 rum to the eggnog. You are going to need it. It may be your only friend for a while.

Here is the secret, and this part of the column is for men only. Women should stop reading until the last line, please.

You are supposed to fail at buying a gift for your wife. Only in the beginning of a marriage does the “oh, that is so nice” line get activated. After that you get the “look.” We all know what the “look” is … it is frightening and prompts 151 eggnog in Mason jars.

Here is the revelation of the secret code: you are predestined to fail. No matter how hard you try, you will eventually be a presentbuying failure.

I did a very scientific poll of the women in office and a few others to get the inside scoop.

More than one gave me the line, “Well, he is not too bad at Christmas (translation: he’s an idiot, but Christmas is close, and he may read this column so we will see how he fares), but at Valentine’s Day he sucks.”

Another said her husband bought his mother and grandmother a gift for Mother’s Day, but not her. They have a 3-year-old.

Here is a very hot tip. On Mother’s Day when you do not buy a gift for your wife, but you do buy a gift for your mother and grandmother, do not respond to your wife by saying, “Well, honey bunny, you are not my mother.”

During the Mother’s Day season there is a severe shortage of eggnog, which means the 151 rum will need to be consumed straight. [ more BOX page 6 ]

What’s to expect in Olympia as the year turns A preview of coming attractions and distractions for lawmakers next year can be found in the pile of legislation awaiting them when they return to Olympia in January.

There have been 59 bills filed early – 38 in the House

and 21 in the Senate – dealing with specialty license plates and protecting hospital employees from violent criminals as well as naming a state waterfall and ensuring natural disasters don’t shut down government.

are already pushing: One overpass, hold the art: There’s a move afoot to end the prettification of bridges, overpasses, sound walls and off-ramps. House Bill 2092 would bar state transportation agencies from spending public funds to “acquire works of art” or make “decorative finishes or designs that are not integral to the function

Our state needs to completely replace its tax system with a moderately progressive income tax.

The current system of 60 taxes, tolls and fees would be replaced with personal, family, business and corporate state income taxes. This income tax would be deductible from federal income taxes.

Currently the state of Washington is more than $19 billion in debt. Tuition at the University of Washington and Washington State University has risen more than 100 percent in the past 10 years.

A modern tax system would adequately fund public education, public transit, DSHS, and police, sheriff, and fire departments to protect them. Again, personal, family, business and corporate state income taxes would be deductible.

Washington Pot & Trust: Who better to handle the cash for the pot industry than the state, right?

a new industrial hemp industry. Growers will need licenses and pay fees and those dollars would be deposited in the proposed publicly-owned trust.

RDHWKFN: The University of Washington has a specialty license plate. So too do Washington State University and Gonzaga.

Seattle University may be next. That’s the idea behind House Bill 2100, which would direct proceeds from any sales into a student scholarship fund.

A layer of protection: When a person suspected or convicted of a violent crime

is brought to a hospital for care, sometimes they attack nurses or other employees.

Under Senate Bill 5968, these potentially violent individuals would have to be accompanied by a law enforcement officer or guard at all times during the visit.

Scenic standout: Washington’s got its share of official symbols. There’s a state bird, a fruit, an insect, a folk song and even a ship. House Bill 2119 would name Palouse Falls in southeast Washington as the official state waterfall. The sales pitch: The falls drop 198-feet and

are considered one of the most amazing waterfalls in the U.S. and the world.

Disclosure duties: A little training might help elected leaders of cities, counties and special districts avoid violations of the public records act that can result in big payouts to seekers of records. House Bill 2121 would require every elected official to complete a training course within 90 days of taking office.

My favorite is one of my longtime contributors to failed Christmas presents from her husband. Ron Olness has a long history of buying just the wrong Christmas present for Becky. She hates electronic presents, which he always buys her. He consistently

buys her something I would absolutely love, and she hates.

Becky said last year she got even with him for years of goofy gifts … she bought him a cemetery plot.

Every woman in my office I told this story to cheered, which made me nervous and consider stocking up on some 151 eggnog.

You may suddenly find yourself converting into a flambé rubber chicken.

enemy attack.” It doesn’t mention other emergencies like natural disasters. Senate Bill 5971 and a proposed constitutional amendment would update the language to make sure an earthquake, a tsunami or even an invasion from Idaho or Canada are covered.

[ ARTIST from page 1 ] It’s a gift he struggles to explain.

“I don’t even know what I’m doing,” the autistic savant artist said from his recently-opened art studio in south Kent. “When I start the canvas, I don’t know what it’s going to look like when I finish, but I know it’s always right.

“I’m blessed with something,” he said. “It’s a gift housed inside this vessel.”

Tolleson’s career has blossomed in such a short time, garnering national and worldwide attention from the autistic art community.

Galleries – local and beyond, including Polly’s Place in London – have embraced his emotion-based paintings.

The Kent man’s autistic journey through his work is the subject of a soon-tobe-published book that will display 100 of his paintings.

All this from an unpretentious artist self-diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, which, he explains, accounts for his ability to paint proficiently and effectively without formal training.

Tolleson deflects the praise.

“It’s not about me, it’s about what I do through what I have,” he said.

With his career and company established, Tolleson wants to share his gift with

others. Tolleson is continually told that his paintings give hope, inspiration and light to the autistic community, especially to youth.

Tolleson has donated his work to numerous charitable organizations throughout the country. Such work, he hopes, will open more gateways and inspire more children with autism to believe that they can express themselves through art.

To spread his mission and become more accessible to families and children in South King County, Tolleson and his partner, Jack Carl Anderson, also an autistic artist, recently moved their Seattle studio and autistic art mentoring center to the Kent Business Center, 25524 74th Ave S. The Michael Tolleson Savant Art Center is roomy, accommodating offices, art mentoring classrooms, a parent lounge area, a large art studio and a warehouse to store finished artwork. The center allows the artists to continue their meaningful work even as they inspire others to grow through the language of art.

At the center, children on the autistic spectrum can express themselves through art and various mediums.

“We’re making a difference,” Anderson said. “We believe in giving them the opportunity and tools they need to express their creativity and judgment.”

The center provides oneon-one attention, a flexible hands-on approach to artists age 6 and older who can take instruction, verbal or otherwise.

Each month, as part of an open house and community outreach, the MTS Art Center hosts a group art project.

“What we do for the kids who come in is needed,” Tolleson said. “They look forward to being here and they look forward to what we do with them.”

The idea, Tolleson says, is to welcome and challenge students, not to judge them.

“We give them a safe place and a place where they are recognized,” he said. “We listen. We’re not art therapy, we’re not babysitting. …

We’re here because we have something to give.

“We push limits, what their abilities are. By doing that, we’re making them go beyond.”

And to become something more, just like the instructors themselves.

“For whoever we are,” Tolleson said, “we recognize that (if) you have a gift, you give a gift.”

To learn more about the center and its programs, call 253-850-5995, visit www.

Young finds redemption in the desert

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@yahoo.com

Arizona State University senior Chris Young’s journey from here to there has had its share of twists and turns.

Despite being a roundabout for Young – who plays in the 2013 Holiday Bowl on Monday as a starting linebacker for the No. 14-ranked Sun Devils – it has been a fruitful trip.

“It’s been an opportunity that a lot of people don’t have,” Young said. “Even if I don’t get drafted [by the National Football League], I’ve had a great career in football, and I’ll have a bachelor’s degree and a very happy family.”

Back in 2009, the way forward for Auburn High School’s standout senior running back and safety seemed clear.

Not only were the Trojans poised for a run at a Washington State 4A title, Young himself, scholarship in hand to play ball at the University of Washington, seemed ready to leap to the next level.

A bad decision, however, sent Young down a different road, costing him his chance not only to be a Husky but almost derailing his football career.

Auburn Riverside head boys basketball coach Jason Brown has been suspended for the rest of the 2013-14 season.

According to the Seattle Times, the South Puget Sound League Athletic Directors voted on Dec. 12 to suspend the Raven’s second-year coach for violating Washington State Interscholastic Activities Association rules that govern how much time a player can play in a jamboree, and for allowing players to compete without having put in the minimum number of practices.

years helped me grow up as a person and an athlete. It made me try harder and take it very serious. It helped me look at football a different way and life. It just made me grow up as a person.”

As a sophomore at Arizona Western – his first as a linebacker – his play earned him the Western States Football Chris Young League’s Defensive Player of the Year honors and a nod as a first team All-American.

His on-field performance and improvement in his classes garnered him a look from ASU, which offered him a chance to play.

Despite his initial dreams to play as a Husky, Young said, he recognized his chance to play in Tempe was too good to pass up.

playing football the rest of the season, and the incident, coupled with poor grades and low SAT scores, cost him his ride to UW. Rather than let his football dreams fade, however, Young enrolled at 2-year Arizona Western College in Yuma.

And it was under the broiling desert sun that Young started to put it all together.

After two seasons as a Matador, Young – who as a sophomore had switched from safety to his current outside linebacker position after bulking up to 244 pounds on his 6-foot frame, – got a chance to play ball at the Division I level with ASU. “All the work definitely paid off,” he said. “I couldn’t have imagined myself being here. When I went to Yuma, it was pretty much on hopes and dreams. But it just made me realize that it was a valuable opportunity. Those two

“When I went down to Arizona Western, I really wanted to come back home and play,” he said. “Things didn’t really work out and ASU was a better opportunity for my talents. Not everything really works out the way you want, but in the end it all works out, and I’m sitting here as happy as I can be.”

This season Young was honored with a selection to the All-PAC-12 second team defense. He finished the regular season with 103 total tackles, 13.5 of them for a loss. He also had 7.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. On Monday, when the 10-3 Sun Devils take on 7-5 Texas Tech in the National University Holiday Bowl in San Diego, we’ll be playing in his final collegiate football game Young said he still hopes the game won’t be his last as a player, but, if it is, his world will not crash.

“[The NFL is] a business, but I feel that I can try as hard as I can and see where that gets me,” he said.

Young continued: “I thought I could get out of everything when I was in high school, and that came around and bit me,” Young said. “But it’s a living lesson that I’ve learned, and I’m grateful to have had that chance. Now, I’m just working on myself and doing what’s best for me and my family.”

And if that road leads him back home to Auburn, that’d be just fine with Young.

“I’ll look into coaching high school and maybe going back to [Auburn] and helping out with kids who are going through what I did,” he said.

mother, Emily Markiewicz, traveled from her home in Virginia to attend each day of the trial.

“After this long between the date of Seth’s murder and the trial and the length of the trial, they were looking forward to having some closure one way or another,” said Hinds, who gave the trial’s opening statement. “It puts it off for longer either way. They were disappointed with that, but they understand this is one of the things that happens when you have a jury system. It needs to be unanimous to convict, unanimous to acquit, and anything in between you keep going. I think they understand that.”

Closing arguments were given Dec. 17 by Senior Deputy Prosecutor Wyman Yip and defense attorney Anuradha Luthra. Yip portrayed Phillip, 33, of Portland, Ore., as a man who wanted to return to a romantic relationship with Johnson and went so far as to kill Frankel in an effort to get back together with her. Yip said the evidence of a towel found near the murder scene with the DNA of Phillips on it, cellphone records and text messages prove Phillip drove

mitted the crime.

Luthra told the jury that the state was “trying to put a square peg in a round hole,” by blaming Phillip for the murder.

“Not a single witness can put Mr. Phillip in Mr. Frankel’s house on the night Mr. Frankel was killed,” Luthra said. “Not a single witness can tell you that Mr. Phillip knew where Mr. Frankel lived, or worked or even knew his last name. Not a single witness can give you a reason why Mr. Phillip would kill Mr. Frankel.”

Luthra said the state charged “the wrong person,” simply because Phillip couldn’t be excluded from being in Auburn the night Frankel was killed. She said Auburn police failed to investigate other people who may have committed the murder.

New evidence or information could come up before the second trial starts.

“Both sides will continue to investigate if new information comes up, or if either side sort of wants to change its strategy. You are not tied in to sort of redoing the same case that was done before,” Hinds said.

Yip and Hinds will strategize to decide how to ap-

www.auburn-reporter.com proach the new trial, and so will the defense attorneys.

“In leading up to the trial, we will assess if we want to makes changes with the case we put on before and the case put on now,” Hinds said. “In the very short term, I think everyone will benefit from a period of reflection based on having a hung jury and the emotions you have, the adrenaline when a trial is over. Everyone over the holidays will let it all sink in and come back in the new year and figure out where we go from there.”

Defense attorney Kristen Murray said she could not really comment about the case since it is going to be retried. She said prosecutors have a bit more liberty to discuss a mistrial.

Hinds wished he could have commented about a guilty verdict. But now he must prepare for the case again.

“We respect the jury’s opinion, whatever form it takes, and sometimes that means taking the opinion of the jury that they could not come to a conclusion,” Hinds said. “That is on some level frustrating that there isn’t a resolution, but that’s more of response to that we always want to have
