officer looming, Massey said – he is handling administrative duties for Chief John Calkins while Calkins is on stress-related medical leave – the City is in crisis.

“We need a fix, I need officers,” Massey said. “And that’s the bottom line. We need to take care of our city, and we can do it with more officers.

If I lose another officer, what is the magic number? I have an officer that scored high with another agency. If I lose him, I’m down to six. Another and I’m down to five.

What is the magic number where somebody will say we’re going to hire new officers for you?”

Although there is money in the budget to hire two officers, Sun has refused.

“The police department staff that we’ve got now is adequate for the city’s protection,” Sun said in an interview on Wednesday. “They’re saying it’s not enough staff mainly because the chief wants to build up a … I would use the word empire. In the past the police department was always highly staffed. And I promised the voters that I would cut costs without jeopardizing the services required by the City to perform. With that, I’m holding the cost

line where it is. They’ve budgeted the money for the police department, but that doesn’t mean that they should spend it.”

Not that he’s against hiring, Sun said, he’s just waiting for information from the police department before he will consider approving the hiring.

“I’m waiting for the police department to give me a report on the shift schedule, the uniform crime report, the closure rates, and the last time the evidence room has been audited,” Sun said.

“After it’s complete, if I have to hire, I will.”

At Monday’s meeting Massey told the council that the effects of low staffing are already evident in increased crime and overtime costs.

“We’ve seen property crimes go up,” Massey said.

“We’ve seen crimes against persons go up. And there is no real fix for that. We need more officers. The morale is pretty low within the police department because our officers have been working long hours. I’ve been working six days, but some of my officers have been working 10, 12 days without a break on 12-hour shifts.”

Sun refuted the claim that the officers are overworked, however, adding that he did a comparison that found they weren’t working any more overtime

than other departments in the City, including administration and public works.

“The overtime that they claim the police officers are working, and that they’re overworked, it’s not true,” Sun said.

“It’s not the true picture.”

Massey told the council that overtime hours more than doubled from 2011 to 2012.

“In 2011 with 10 officers the overtime was 687 hours,” Massey said. “In 2012, which we ended with seven officers, it was 1,497 hours.”

Among residents there is genuine concern for their safety.

At the meeting an emotional Katie Garberding read to the council a statement she had meant for Sun. “It’s my belief that these officers are being forced to work long hours with no days off, that they are stretched tighter than a rubber band,” Garberding said.

“They’re stretched to the limits, and it’s only a matter of time before we’re at the point were something or someone is going to snap.

I can’t see how a skeleton staff can provide protection and safety to over 6,300 residents, with an average of 7,500 calls for protection or service each year. It should be the mayor’s top priority to have a police force for its citizens.”

Peloza elected vice-chair of Committee City of Auburn Councilmember Bill Peloza was elected vice chair of the Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee (MSWMAC) for 2013. Peloza’s election was announced on Feb. 8, following the election of leadership. Chris Eggen, deputy mayor of the City of Shoreline, was elected chair.

The MSWMAC advises the King County Council and the executive on matters related to solid waste management issues. “It is a real pleasure for me to take a leadership role on this committee, where I have been active for several years. I look forward in tackling local city issues and advocating policies that maintain low solid waste (garbage) rates for King County citizens,” Peloza said.

City unable to cover costs of weapons permits

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

The City of Auburn’s Police Department processed 835 concealed weapons permits last year.

For each application, a City employee has to run a background check on the individual, fingerprint him or her, type up each application and prepare the prints and applications for mailing.

From start to finish, the process takes about 45 minutes.

State law sets the fee at $52.50.

While the state of Washington reimburses the City, Auburn Police Chief Bob Lee told the Municipal Services Committee Monday, the fee does not cover the actual dollars spent.

“Take away the time spent, the labor costs with benefits, and we’re

Latitude Development, Franciscan Health System to break ground on new pavilion Latitude Development, LLC and Franciscan Health System announced Wednesday the groundbreaking of a new, two-story, 38,000-squarefoot, mixed-use building, the Franciscan Medical Pavilion-Auburn.

Franciscan Health System will be the anchor tenant and has pre-leased 21,000 square feet for the pavilion, at 205 10th St. NE. The project is expected to be complete and ready for occupancy in October. Franciscan anticipates

welcoming patients beginning in November.

The new facility will feature a Franciscan primary care practice with extended hours, lab, retail pharmacy, and specialty physicians in cardiology, vascular surgery, endocrinology and general surgery.

Franciscan Medical Group is one of the largest multi-specialty medical groups in Puget Sound with more than 100 clinics located in south King, Pierce and south Kitsap counties.

the state in writing, Peloza asked? No, Lee answered, it hasn’t.

Lewis said he was not eager to make such a complaint, given the heated guncontrol, gun-rights climate in the wake of the recent massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut.

“I think that at this particular time, with the events that are going on around in the region, the state and the United States, I’m not going to be pressing for increased fees for concealed weapons permits,” Lewis said.

Peloza then suggested bringing the City’s representatives in the Legislature up to speed about the situation.

John Partridge, chairman of the

Regional Law and Justice Committee, offered to bring the issue up to the committee, whose members represent all of King County and its 35 cities.

“It would be an awesome opportunity for all these agencies to discuss the impact,” Partridge said.

Lee said that the Police Department’s new records manager is working on some ideas that could save time and cut costs, among them: purchasing a desktop fingerprint machine that would scan prints and send them automatically, replacing the rolling-the-fingersin-ink process; and allowing part of the application process to be done online.

“We would probably at least break even, if not come out a little bit better,” Lee said.

probably at a negative cost of $9.68,” Lee said.

The difference irked committee chairman Bill Peloza, who wondered if state law could be changed to ensure that the rate covers the actual cost Lee incurred.

“This is kind of like an unfunded mandate,” Peloza complained.

“It’s not kind of one, it is one,” said Mayor Pete Lewis.

Lee added that the state has actually reduced the cost of processing a concealed weapons permit from $62 in 2006 to $52.50 today.

“I’m not sure how that took place, but that’s what our records manager said,” Lee said.

Auburn man pleads guilty to murder

By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

King County prosecutors are recommending a 31½-year sentence for an Auburn man who recently pleaded guilty to killing his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend two years ago.

Michael Ray Fiorini, 28, pleaded guilty last week to first-degree murder with a firearm enhancement for breaking in to his ex-girlfriend’s Federal Way apartment on Feb. 24, 2011 then shooting and killing the woman’s current boyfriend, Christopher D. Johnson, 27.

According to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, Johnson died from a single gunshot wound to the chest.

The woman and Fiorini had lived together for

bedroom. Medical personnel could not revive him and pronounced him dead at the scene.

A K-9 unit tracked Fiorini from the apartment to some bushes where he had been hiding, about one-tenth of a mile east of the crime scene. Fiorini was armed with a 9-mm pistol, and police found a spent cartridge case in the chamber of the gun.

According to court papers, Fiorini’s father told detectives that his son had been upset about her new relationship and on the night of the shooting, the younger man allegedly said “something to the effect that he was going to ‘kill that son of a bitch.’”

The standard sentencing range for first-degree murder with a firearm enhancement is 31-38 years in prison.

some time after high school but broke up in 2004 following a domestic violence incident. The two, however, remained in periodic contact.

At about 3:15 a.m. that day, according to court papers, Fiorini broke the sliding glass door to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment at the Habitat Condominiums at 33005 18th Place S, entered, confronted his ex-girlfriend, 27, who was lying on the couch, pointed a gun at her and told her to “shut up.”

Johnson, who had been sleeping in the bedroom, heard his girlfriend scream, came out and approached the woman and Fiorini.

Fiorini then shot Johnson in the chest.

Police later found Johnson on the floor of the

Question of the week:

– Tracey A. Thompson, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 117, on reaching a five-year contract agreement with United Natural Foods, Inc.

Coal trains spew smoke for debate The debate over whether the Green River Valley should open its rails to a proposed coal train express is a complex, contentious one.

The likelihood of long trains running through the heart of the valley is very real – and the public needs to get on board.

Positions are firm on both sides of the rail: those who support job growth and exports; and those who are blowing the whistle on coal trains for their anticipated cargo-carrying strain on the environment and infrastructure.

And then there are those positioned in the middle, trying to negotiate and mitigate the allencompassing plan.

If coal trains soon come running, opponents fear coal dust, congestion and frustration.

Just driving across downtown Auburn and Kent could get tougher, as mile-long trains chug their way north. As many as 18 round-trip export trains could roll through the center of town each day.

If the trains come running, proponents say they will bring much-needed employment and revenues, enhancing industry.

“The thing about this issue is that while to some it may seem a simple issue, it’s not,” said Lauri Hennessey, spokeswoman for the Alliance for Northwest Jobs & Exports, a nonprofit trade organization that supports new, regional export projects. “These are difficult times for many people in the Northwest. These projects – and the jobs they will create – represent a ray of hope for thousands.”

All rails would lead to the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal (GPT) – a multicommodity, dry bulk cargo-handling facility on nearly 1,500 acres in Whatcom County.

The shipping, stevedoring and warehousing facility would be the largest on the West Coast, the latest innovation of SSA Marine,

Gun control has been in the news lately, and whether you’re a gun proponent or oppose them, the sad fact is that according to the Center for Disease Control, in 2010 we had 11,078 gun-related homicides across the United States.

With the Sandy Hook tragedy etched in our minds, our president unfortunately seems to blame the gun and not the person pulling the trigger. So as I watch the debate, I wonder whatever happened to personal responsibility and accountability for a person’s behavior.

But my question is, why just gun control? In 2010, we had 10,228 deaths in the U.S. caused by drinking and driving, and I don’t see any of the same presidential urgency or societal outcry being held

Millennials need a voice in reform today Millennials. We are a generation often associated with things like Disney Channel, ubiquitous sports trophies, the rise and fall of boy bands and the boom of social media.

We have also, arguably, taken the hardest hit from the recession.

It may very well become the

defining moment of our generation – we’ve already been termed the boomerang generation, a term born from the growing trend of Millennials with college degrees who move back in with their parents after graduation.

I was a college sophomore in 2008.

ter in a DUI-related crash, it saddens me that we seemingly accept one form of death over another. As a society we should be fighting just as hard for changing laws concerning drinking and driving as we are now with gun control.

Maybe the next thing is to blame the vehicles for such deaths. So the question remains, how many more people are we going to lose to drunken driving before it becomes the issue of the day?

I watched as the bottom fell out of the markets and breathed a sigh of relief that I had a few years yet before I would have to face the world.

Upon graduating I found the world hadn’t changed much in the in between. I became one of the many with an unfortunately common tale: college educated and no job in sight.

There is a lot of talk right now

One voice that has been largely overlooked in these discussions is the one at the heart of it all: Millennials. Which begs the question, why? It is our lives and our [ more SMITH page 7 ]

Does Joe Public know it is run by the mayors and a few council members from Algona, Auburn and Pacific? Probably not.

The City signs us up for a “regional jail” that costs us a ton of money and then gives our well run court system to King County.

We build an expensive annex on Main Street and throw away millions on a

promenade to nowhere.

Reliable sources tell me that money has been taken from SOS funding to do utility work and that the M Street underpass is costing in the neighborhood of $27 million.

Another reliable source has our fair city in debt to the tune of $70 million at a time when the golf course and cemetery are losing money and the mayor is chatting up a reporter about building a community center that we most likely cannot afford to maintain.

Just how in debt is the

City? And how much is it going to cost us to send council members all over the country to attend meetings for these National Cities committees the now belong to?

Just how much of our SOS money is really being spent on the neighborhood streets it is supposed to be used for?

The terminal – positioned at Cherry Point, just 17 miles south of the Canadian border – would provide a portal for American producers to export dry bulk commodities such as grain, potash and coal to Asian markets.

Trains would bring coal from Wyoming and Montana to Spokane through the Columbia River Gorge and up north through Auburn, Kent and Tukwila on the way to Bellingham.

Citizens in Bellingham already don’t like the idea. A political action committee – No Coal! – is putting up a fight to derail coal trains.

Elsewhere, another state project, the proposed Millennium Bulk Terminal (MBT) in Longview, is ramping up for an environmental review process, due this spring.

What do current high school students think of their education so far?

What are their dreams and aspirations? How do they think they will achieve them? Do they think they will achieve them? What do they wish they knew? Do they feel prepared for life beyond high school? Why? Why not? How did they make decisions about what path to follow post-high school?

What about college students and recent college grads? What about those

The MBT proposes to build a $600 million terminal west of Longview to export 44 million tons of coal annually, an amount that would make it one of the largest such facilities in North America.

But such plans are up for review – steps that will command considerable time – a long, arduous process of fielding public input, drafting and approving environmental impact statements (EIS). There are also possible legal hurdles and other factors characteristic of bureaucratic protocol.

Local communities are weighing in.

The Kent City Council recently issued an EIS scoping letter in an effort to get the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state Department of Ecology to look at its impacts on the city. Mayor Suzette Cooke signed it.

The Corps of Engineers understands that much is at stake.

“The Corps recognizes the intense public interest in both the

Where are they? What do they think?

Reform based on bureaucratic ideas of what Millennials and the generations that come after us need isn’t likely to reform anything at all. The voices of those in the various educational systems need to be heard and included as well – teachers, administrators and students – if effective change is the end goal.

The City of Auburn has taken no position on the GPT project.

“Our main focus this legislative session is closer to home, the completion of (State Route) 167 – a vital link to the Port of Tacoma that will fuel an estimated $10.1 billion in job and economic growth,” said Auburn Mayor Pete Lewis.

The GPT scoping process has collected public comment with the intent of designing the best EIS possible.

My Biola University education was the greatest gift my parents could have ever given me. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. It was so much more than just an education, it was an entire experience that has tangibly shaped who I have become. It was classes and studying and writing papers at 3 a.m.

From recent polling data, the public is backing the GPT idea.

One survey conducted by Moore Information said the following about rail traffic: • 77 percent support individual evaluation of each proposed export facility (vs. 16 percent who prefer a combined regional review of all proposed facilities).

• 74 percent support additional rail and barge traffic for the projects, viewing it as crucial to Washington’s export economy and a sign of economic growth.

These results were consistent with other polls taken over recent months that show strong support for the proposed export terminals and coal exports, Hennessey said.

An unscientific Reporter website poll recently asked readers if they were concerned about coal trains passing through their cities.

Seventy-six percent of Auburn readers said no; 55 percent for Kent readers also said no.

Nothing is certain. The process promises to extend well into next year, possible longer.

Those pushing for the coal trains are committed to doing it right, secure more jobs without harming the public and the environment.

The public needs to stay in tune.

“We believe this is a region that depends on trade and exports. In fact, 4 out of 10 people in this region rely on trade for their living,” Hennessey said. “These terminals would indeed ship coal, but they would ship other products, as well.

They would provide a critical economic boost in communities that sorely need jobs and tax revenue.

“We believe we can build these proposed bulk export terminals, and we can build them right – in a way that provides jobs and does not harm the environment.”

[ ILALKO from page 1 ] Michelle Rylands, secretary of the Ilalko Elementary PTA, was also moved to do something in the wake of Sandy Hook.

Both women began moving, though at first along different tracks.

Morris wasn’t interested in teaching kids about the carnage at Sandy Hook.

Because compassion is the trait of the month at Ilalko, Morris contacted Lynea Gillen, author of the highly acclaimed book, “Good People Everywhere,” to pick up some copies.

Her idea was to teach kids important lessons about demonstrating and recognizing acts of compassion, the very opposite of what the Sandy Hook shooter displayed.

Morris also began to lead her students in Yoga Flow to develop in them a sense of safety, strength and service in a time of chaos.

Meanwhile, Rylands was busy with her project.

Rylands said.

At the end of the month, Rylands said, the “Hands of Hope Quilt,” will be mailed to Sandy Hook.

One day Morris called Rylands for advice and Rylands suggested that they combine their efforts.

“She got the ball rolling,” Morris said. “She wanted to get something big happening in Ilalko, to get kids and families involved.”

“Lyndsay had a wonderful idea about books,” Rylands added. “The author of ‘Good People Everywhere’ graciously agreed to donate 60 copies of her book. We want to send 120 copies to the kids at Sandy Hook.”

The remainder of the copies is the focus of a fundraiser just now picking up steam. The school’s families are sponsoring a book for $16. The name of the sponsor and a message of his or her choice will be printed in the front cover of the book.

“We hope to create interest from families, businesses, and organizations and move them to sponsor a book,” Rylands explained. “It is important to us that this is

Ilalko Elementary’s students are also engaged in a compassion competition. When a youngster performs a compassionate act, his or her teachers post the deed up on a bulletin board for all the world to marvel at, yellow cards for youngsters in grades K-2, red hearts for students in grades 3-5.

For various reasons, the Olympia project didn’t work out.

But Auburn, home to the largest Veterans Day parade west of the Mississippi and Veterans Memorial Park, had a lot to recommend it.

The idea, Stoddard said, would be to place the memorial in the park with the existing memorial as part of a much larger scene.

“One of the things that we considered was to make it educational, so that it’s more than just a statue of soldiers, but to somehow build into it some sort of teaching,” Stoddard said. “The benefit to the city is that it is expected to enhance the present memorial park. It’s an additional aspect to the Auburn Veterans Day parade and helps integrate and recognize Auburn’s Vietnamese community.

“With the project’s educational aspect, it should be an addition to the quality of life in the city of Auburn.”

Proponents expect to hold fundraisers or to use a grant writer. The idea, Stoddard said, is that there should be no costs to the City, which owns the park.

As of today, there is no final design, no set location in the park.

“Basically, nothing is set in stone right now,” Stoddard said.

But that was the assumption some veterans made.

Learning about the proposed memorial, members of American Legion Auburn Post 78 recently downloaded a copy of what they assumed was the plan.

Roger Olson, past commander of the Auburn post and its present chaplain, explained what happened.

“Basically, what we saw is that the size and height of the memorial is at or out of scale with the current Veterans Memorial. We envisioned a memorial of much smaller scale to complement the existing Veterans Memorial, not a memorial that competes with it or is larger,” Olson said.

Olson said the post was also “totally against” the permanent display of the South Vietnamese flag, which, he noted, is the emblem of a country that went out of existence in 1975.

“The plan to pick two flagpoles of equal height is not appropriate, as the American flag is superior to all other national flags displayed in this country. The only time you see two flags displayed

equally is with our neighbor, Canada,” Olson said.

Finally Olson, questioned whether Auburns Parks, Arts and Recreation Department or the City itself had contacted the Veterans of Foreign Wars or the Inter-Tribal Warrior Society to let them know about the plans.

Committee chair Bill Peloza, a member of VFW Post 1741, said the post had not yet discussed the idea formally.

“Basically, as a result of the meeting last Wednesday night, based on those plans, we find it inappropriate, and we were opposed to it by vote,” Olson said.

Daryl Faber, director of Auburn Parks, Arts and Recreation department, said there were misunderstandings about the size and scale.

Faber said that in walking through the park with the proponents it became clear right away that the scale of the Olympia plan wouldn’t work for Auburn. Proponents, he added, were also keen to ensure that the proposed memorial would not compete with the existing one.

“There’s lot of items we have to work our way through if this is going to happen,” Faber said.

Ben Blanchard takes the plunge

By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@yahoo.com

As a sophomore, Auburn Riverside’s Ben Blanchard started diving for two simple reasons.

“I had friends on the swim team,” Blanchard said. “And I just started because I wanted to use the skills that I learned in the summer off bridges and stuff like that.”

Fun and camaraderie may have been the motivation for his plunge into the sport three years ago, but at the end of last season Blanchard, now a senior, decided he wanted more.

“I saw how good some of the kids were, and I thought that if I practiced I could be as good as some of them the next year,” Blanchard said. “So I practiced pretty hard. Previous years were more for fun, but this year I took it pretty serious.”

This season his dedication paid off, with Blanchard fulfilling his preseason goal of qualifying for the state 4A championships Friday and Saturday at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. Blanchard secured his state berth on Feb. 2 at the West Central District III 4A meet, where he posted a 300.6-point total to win the district title.

Ravens coach Patrick McKeehan remembers seeing the improvement in Blanchard’s technique.

“He really made some strides at the end of last year,” McKee-

Auburn Riverside’s Ben Blanchard captured the West Central District III 4A diving title, paving his way to the state championships. Shawn skager, Auburn Reporter han said. “You could see it with his height off the board and his body control. He just came on really strong. This year it’s just been a phenomenal year for him.”

McKeehan added that Blanchard’s work with diving coach Jim Southerland immediately paid dividends this season.

“He started the year with a

second-place finish at a meet against Mount Rainier,” he said.

For the rest of the season.

Blanchard dominated the competition, finishing first in the rest of his regular-season meets.

Blanchard credits the guidance of his diving coach for his improvement.

Auburn’s 182-pound senior James West earned a berth at this weekend’s Mat Classic XXV 4A wrestling championships with a regional title in his weight class at last Saturday’s Region III 4A meet at Auburn High School.

West edged closer to his school’s all-time pin record with two pins at the tournament, including a pin at

Now all that’s left is the state championships.

And though he may be concentrating on the momentous task of vying for a state diving title, don’t think for a minute Blanchard isn’t also going to find a way to have a little fun.

“I’m kind of intimidated, but I’m just more excited about it than anything,” he said. “I get to jump of the tower (the 10-meter diving platform), so Ben Blanchard caps his high school diving career this weekend at the state meet. Shawn skager, Auburn Reporter that’s going to be fun.”

One of the living choices available to seniors is a “continuingcare retirement community” (CCRC), which typically offers independent-living units and skilled-nursing facilities.

CCRCs are generally able to serve both active newcomers and older seniors requiring 24-hour care. The traditional type A (life care) contract offered by CCRCs involves payment of a significant entrance fee, but limits future cost increases for long-term -care services. Type B (modified) contracts require lower entrance fees, but limit the amount of assisted living and nursing care services. Type C (fee-forservice) contracts offer even lower entrance fees, but require residents to pay market rates for needed services. The choice of contract generally rests with the residents’ health status and their ability to absorb future cost increases. We hope that you found this topic to be both interesting and informative.

While some seniors choose to remain living at home alone, many find that they are more engaged, active and feel a sense of community when they are surrounded by others. Our experienced and caring staff is here to assist seniors.

PARKSIDE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY understands that seniors’ needs can change - even overnight. Learn more by reaching us today at (253) 939-1332. We will arrange an initial meeting and tour of our unique senior community, conveniently located at 2902 1Street N.E. We have been locally owned and operated since 1972. Our seniors are our #1 priority!

P.S. Seniors have a wider range of living options available to them than ever before.

the songs have exhibited staying power, still resonating with fans old and new, Stevens said.

“The songs are so well crafted and put together.

Everything, the production the arrangements and the musicianship, were excellent. Steve Perry was just a brilliant singer, and Neil Schon was way ahead of his time as a guitarist.”

Stevens said he first became a fan of the band after seeing it live.

CONTINUING CARE

On Friday and Saturday those who never stopped believing, as well as those new to the music of the band, will get a chance to experience the songs of Journey faithfully recreated on stage at the Auburn Avenue Theater by tribute band Journey Unauthorized.

According to lead singer Perry Stevens, who plays the role of original Journey vocalist Steve Perry, Jour-

ney Unauthorized formed in 2007.

“We started this because we love the music,” Stevens said. “We all grew up in the Bay Area (where Journey was from) and we all loved the music, so there is a lot of attachment for us.”

Although the majority of the songs covered by Journey Unauthorized – which concentrates on the music created by Journey during the Steve Perry-era in the 1970s and 1980s – originated more than 30 years ago,

ears, it was just the band really singing,” Stevens said.

“There were no backing tracks or recordings, it was unbelievable. It’s still one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.”

It’s a performance the top-class group of musicians in Journey Unauthorized – which includes Stevens on vocals, Ray Potter on keyboards and backing vocals, Damion Mantle on guitar, Jimmy Wells on drums and bassist Dave Matthews – strive to recreate.

Stevens conceded that most of the fans who come to the shows are longtime Journey fans but said they also get new fans of the

music.

“On the average we get people around 40 years old at the shows,” he said. “But we get young musicians that are into the music as well.

Sometimes when I look out, it’s 40- and 50-year-olds with their kids.”

Journey Unauthorized hits the stage at the Ave at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Admission are $20 for adults, $18 for students and seniors.
