An Auburn man will spend 31½ years in prison for the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend in her Federal Way apartment in February 2011. Michael Ray Fiorini, 29, pleaded guilty in February to first-degree murder with a firearm enhancement for killing Christopher D. Johnson, 27, on Feb. 24, 2011. The sentence range was 25 to 31½ years in prison, and the judge followed the prosecutor’s recommendation in imposing the sentence last Friday. The woman and Fiorini had lived together for some time after high school but broke up in 2004 after a domestic violence incident. The two, however, had remained in periodic contact. At about 3:15 that morning, Fiorini broke the sliding glass door to his ex’s apartment at the Habitat Condominiums at 33005 18th Place S. He then entered,

Family of Melanie Kirk to host fundraiser By ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com
An Auburn family is preparing to host a pasta-and-Caesar salad, allare-invited dinner April 28 to raise money for the post-operative needs of a daughter, a sister, an aunt. Don Eddy, father of Melanie Kirk, a 1978 Auburn High School graduate, said that his family ultimately hopes to raise about $7,000 to cover expenses his second daughter and third child incurs
after kidney transplant surgery Monday in British Columbia. While the Province of British Columbia will cover all of Melanie’s medical expenses, it won’t pick up the rent for the two months she spends in an apartment within five minutes walking distance of the hospital. “We are looking for donations or for people to come to the dinner,” Don Eddy said of the fundraiser. “It’s only $15 a person, so families can come.”
It’s from 1 to 4 p.m., Sunday, April 28 in the Rainier Room above OddFellas Pub and Eatery, 102 W. Main St. Melanie Kirk, who celebrates her 53rd birthday on May 1, was 12 years old when the first symptoms of kidney failure appeared, though nobody at the time knew what was happening to her. It came in the form of a relatively mild 100-degree fever that spiked, however, within three to four days to a parent-harrowing 103-to-104
degrees. Within a week, the crisis seemed to be over. But as Melanie’s worried loved ones soon realized, it had not been a fluke. Because Kirk after that first occurrence, the symptoms returned like clockwork, Don Eddy said, every 60 days. Years passed before doctors correctly diagnosed what was ailing Melanie. And when they did, they scheduled her to start kidney dialysis by her 16th birthday.
Before that she went into remission. Years glided by however without any noticeable problems. She married, moved with her husband, Keith, to Nanaimo on B.C.’s Vancouver Island, where they raised a child. Doctors continued to monitor her condition. By January 2013, as her kidney function deteriorated to 12 percent, they scheduled her for surgery. “She found her own donor, one of her best friends in Nanaimo, who is an almost perfect match,” Don Eddy said.

Amtrak train strikes, kills man An Amtrak train traveling northbound on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks struck and killed a man trying to cross the tracks westbound on West Main Street shortly after 9 p.m. Monday. The man was identified as 25-year-old Oleg Agapov by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office, which ruled his death an accident. Witnesses told Auburn Police that the pedestrian was under the influence of alcohol. The crossing arms were down.
The Council previously denied Sun’s request that Intravaia Investigations be hired to investigate whistleblower complaints, citing concerns that the firm had no liability insurance. The petition also seeks to allow Sun to appoint a “stand-by municipal attorney to advise the Mayor generally on matters affecting the city, and specifically to address and litigate the unlawful conduct of the Pacific Civil Service Commission.”

convinced residents that thieves are watching their comings and goings. Some people are now afraid to leave their homes. Many have taken security precautions they never had to take before. And every passing car is now an intense object of interest to hundreds of watchful eyes. One afternoon SwansondeCarteret noticed as she was driving by the property of an elderly neighbor a hatchback, with hatch open, backed up to the woman’s shed. She pulled onto the driveway, expecting to
block the burglar’s escape, if it was a burglar. “I called her on the cell phone, and she told me that no, no one was supposed to be there. I had enough time to snap a picture of the car before the guy saw me, squeezed by my car and took off,” Swanson-deCarteret said. She got a good look at the burglar and sent the photo of the vehicle to the sheriff ’s department for analysis. Jeff Hendrickx’ concern is that someone will break into one of the three adultfamily homes he owns in the neighborhood and

frighten its occupants. “Two of my caregivers have been broken into at night,” Hendrickx said. “Three months ago I heard a neighbor’s alarm go off, so I went out to see what was happening. Someone had pried the door open but ran away when the alarm went off. “… I’ve never had a gun in my house,” Hendrickx added, “but I have a concealed weapons permit, and now I take my wife to the gun range.” Dennis Swanson, Toni’s father, said he suspects that numerous burglars have infested the neighborhood, based on their different methods of operation and the varying times of day at which they ply their dubious trade. Deputies have said it’s likely that given the many meth houses in that part of the county, the drug is,
in some way, behind the outbreak. Residents are becoming more expert than they would prefer at dialing 911. The King County Sheriff ’s Deptartment responds, they say, sometimes quickly, sometimes not. But they’re willing to cut the deputies some slack, as they have an enormous territory to cover. Until 10 a.m. in fact, one lone deputy is responsible for providing police coverage to an area extending from Greenwater to Pierce County, from Federal Way to Kent-Kangley Road. It’s a staffing-and-money issue that dates back to the previous King County Sheriff, Swanson-deCarteret said, and therefore subject to review and change. “What we want is more police presence, with police cars,” Hendrickx said.

Let it be Sun-down in Pacific
Frustrated Pacific continues to vent. Concerned citizens gossip on sidewalks. Angry business owners explain the problems on Facebook. Folks frequently ring our office, calling for the mayor’s head. The City Council remains lost, dysfunctional without a proven leader. And it doesn’t appear to be getting any better. Nearly 16 months into his mayoral term, Cy Sun has done little for his city. He fears no one, trusts a chosen few. In a small town that knows only drama, Sun and the council remain at odds, finding little compromise and wasting significant time, money and emotion embroiled in personalities, controversies and petty differences. In this power struggle between an inept mayor and a reticent council, the constituency goes underserved, ignored. “As a real estate agent and builder currently building in Pacific I can safely say that the city needs guidance,” a man replied on Facebook last week. “I have spent months waiting for permits and city officials to set up times for inspections and finals that have been pushed back because no one knows what to do within the government. I am amazed at the lack of record for this city’s government.” Under Sun’s tyrannical watch, City protocol has disintegrated. The mayor, under the system, wields too much say. The police department has been jolted and torn apart, leaving Pacific prone to more crime. The City’s top cops were suspended, their rancor aired in the media. An interim public safety director, a controversial figure and an ill-advised hire, stepped away after two days on the job. The city clerk has been replaced, not once, but twice. Dismissed department heads – professional personnel needed to safely carry out the services of a municipality Cy Sun – have not been replaced. An anxious City spins without a compass. “Unfortunately, we have no city engineer and only one person doing the work of building inspector, code enforcement, director of public works and community development …, “ wrote Councilmember Joshua Putnam on Facebook. “The money is there for proper staffing; authorized and funded positions have been sitting vacant for most of the past year. The extreme understaffing of the police department gets the most attention, but that’s just one of many issues.”

We’re living, surviving Auburn’s ‘real world’ My husband and I are relatively new to Auburn compared to some of our neighbors. We have lived here for 10 years now. We absolutely love Auburn but not for any of the reasons mentioned in the mayor’s update of April 5. We love it here and choose to stay because we have great neighbors who care about each other. He fails to mention that the people of Auburn he pretends to care so much about were not included in any of these “wonderful” decisions, which were all made for us, not with us. I say pretends because of our experience with the ice storm of 2012. After complaining about our six days without power we mentioned that maybe we needed to move and the response was “go ahead.” The mayor should be reminded of how many of his subjects have been, and are still, unemployed while the employed City workers enjoy a free gym membership. How many houses are currently in foreclosure in Auburn? We have to pay for our membership even while unemployed, and I’m quite sure they could also afford the $19 monthly fee. Never in our lives have we ever received any incentives given by a healthcare provider because someone is exercising. It just doesn’t happen.
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. The money wasted on this benefit could be, and should be, much better spent. While walking our dog we have from time to time seen homeless people, one woman in particular who was living in her cardboard box behind an empty building. Does Auburn provide any services to those homeless people? We don’t see that the important issues are being addressed and don’t share the same warm and fuzzy feeling about the current conditions. We, too, would like to know also where those crime statistics are coming from. We always seem to have some creepy stuff going on. Meanwhile, it’s spring and the birds are singing, the golf course is green, and Mayor Lewis can sing his own praises while the rest of us are living in the real world. – Sandra Alcott
Experienced, skilled Backus is choice for mayor Auburn has the good fortune to have Nancy Backus willing to be our next mayor. Nancy has outstanding credentials for the job. Her strong financial background is needed as cities are forced to do more with less. Nancy has served the community well over the years, including a two-year term as a PTA president, 30-plus years of leadership roles for the Miss Auburn Scholarship Program, serving the youth of our community. Nancy knows the City operations well with her three terms on the City Council. Nancy is on the governance board of the Auburn Valley Regional Fire Authority and has done an outstanding job representing the citizens of Auburn. Nancy received her schooling in Auburn, including an associate degree from Green River Community College and continuing on to City University for her bachelor of science degree in accounting. She is currently a finance manager at The Boeing Co., with nearly 25 years of service. I am asking you to join me and many others in voting Nancy Backus for mayor in the great city of Auburn.

My name is Scooter. I am a shorthaired, orange cat. My master and mistress love me a lot. My master’s granddaughter found me in Gig Harbor. My master had lost his wife to a sudden stroke. So when my master said he had seen a stray cat on Lea Hill, it was decided that my master must have me. My master said he would only take me if I had all my shots and a had been altered. So granddaughter took me to a vet, and the deed was accomplished. My master’s daughter told my master the deed cost $400. Wow, said my master. But he gave $400 to his granddaughter to cover the cost. So Scooter came to live with the master, who really did not want a cat. The plot thickened because my master found my mistress, and he married her. My mistress provides me with cream at the morning meal, with canned food of every variety several times

A cat’s tale
a day and a variety of dried cat food. My master says sometimes that I eat better than he does. I did catch two small moles. I am always looking for more live moles, but dead moles do not interest me. Then the City of Auburn established a human society, a much-needed facility. My mistress stopped by and bought a $15 license for me, and later, my master stopped by, and, unaware of the previous license purchase, bought me a license. So if you stop by my house on Lea Hill and you like cats, I will sit on your lap and purr. But if I sense you do not like cats, I will disappear into one of my hiding places. I like under the house best because there may be some little creatures there that need catching. I think I am the only $430 stray cat in my neighborhood. Thank you for reading my story. – Scooter (from Ruth and Harold Valentine)

Lions work toward state berth
By SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com
This season’s on-the-field success for the Auburn Mountainview baseball team is a story three years in the making. It all began in 2010, when the Lions’ made their last appearance in the state 3A playoffs. Among the young sophomores on that team were Brice McCulloch, Nick Brooks, Shawn Guinn and Kekoa Nahaku, this season’s senior core. “Ever since our sophomore year when we went to state (2010), we talked about our
senior year,” Brooks said. Now Brooks and his teammates are making good on their promise and commitment to be the last team standing at the end of the season. The Lions are the secondranked 3A team in the state, with a 15-2 overall record, 10-2 in the South Puget Sound League 3A. “I’m pleasantly surprised, yes, but I knew what we had coming in,” coach Glen Walker said. “You know what you have, but you never know if they’re going to play up to that potential. Right now this team is right
where they should be.” Through 16 games (as of April 15) the Lions have put up impressive numbers at the plate and on the hill. The team is averaging more than nine runs a game while holding opponents to just under three runs a game. At the dish the team is averaging .400 with an on-base percentage of .499 and a slugging percentage of .524. Perhaps more remarkable is the team’s discipline at the plate, with just 56 strikeouts in 462 at-bats. “There are some things we can work on,” Walker added. [ more Lions page 11 ]

Several Auburn competitors posted world records at the World Sport Stacking Association Championships April 6-7 in Orlando, Fla. The event is the pinnacle for international competitors vying for the fastest times stacking and unstacking plastic cups in various patterns. The event features individual, doubles and team competitions. Competing for Team USA was Dick Scobee Elementary fifth-grader Gabby Rivera. The world record holder in the 9-10 age division, Rivera finished second in the 11-12 female full-cycle competition with a 7.609-second time. She also was fifth in the 3-6-3 stack event with a time of 2.742 and eighth in the 3-3-3 stack, with a 3.458 clocking. Rivera was fifth in the 12U doubles stack with a time of 12.789. Jon Ansotigue, a physical education teacher at Evergreen Heights Elementary who organizes local sport stacking events, made the most of his first time competing in the sport. He set a world record in the 3-6-3 team-timed relay. Ansotigue also was first in the 3-3-3, second in the 3-6-3 and first in the cycle events for his age division. Joshua Kutz took a pair of first-place finishes, grabbing gold in the head-to-head [ more stackers page 11 ]

www.auburn-reporter.com [ lions from page 10] “We’re still making mistakes, but our approach at the plate has been phenomenal these past few weeks. We’ve been able to stay on the baseball more and we’re putting the ball in play hard and making the other team play baseball. We’re able to put bunts down when we need to, we’re dragging for base hits left and right. Guys in spots are getting up and driving the ball into gaps. It’s been fun.” Offensively, the team is led by Brooks, who splits time defensively on the mound and at the corners. “I did a lot of work in the offseason with Guy Keller from the Seattle Stars (Brooks’ club team),” Brooks said. “I watched a lot of video just seeing what I needed to improve.” It’s paid off for the righthander, who is leading the team with a .608 average with 27 RBIs, seven doubles and three home runs. In 51 at-bats he has struck out
just once. The team also keys offensively off sophomore Jeffrey Morgan (.440 average with 17 RBIs), senior Matt Anderson (.488 with 11 RBIs), Guinn (.245 with11 RBIs), sophomore Mason Cerillo (.389 with 10 RBIs) and McCulloch (.457 with 10 RBIs and two home runs). On the mound, Auburn Mountainview’s pitching staff has been just as impressive as its offense. The staff has a 2.03 earned run average with 139 strikeouts and just three home runs allowed, holding opponents to a minuscule .184 batting average. “I’ve been pleasantly surprised with our guys on the hill,” he said. “They’ve been keeping teams from scoring, they’re keeping guys off the bases.” Brooks has led the team’s core of pitchers with a 5-0 record, a 1.56 ERA, and 47 strikeouts in 31.1 innings pitched. Guinn has also proven himself a capable inning-
eater for the Lions with a 3-1 record and a 2.05 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 27.1 innings pitched. A third and fourth option on the mound for Auburn Mountainview this year has been senior Cody Wiseman – 3-0, with a 2.18 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 25.2 innings – and junior Joey Cassano - 2-0 with a 0.60 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 11.2 innings. The real secret to the Lions’ success this season however, has been attitude and team chemistry. “With this team we did some team building stuff early on, but this team has really rallied around each other,” Walker said. “The egos aren’t really being shown. Our guys have shown a real positive attitude with everything.” “I really feel this is the closest team I’ve ever played on,” Brooks said. “We do a lot of team bonding, and I feel confident that every player on the team would pick the other players up.”

Ezekial McDowell was fourth in the 15-16 male 3-6-3 teamtimed relay with a 16.835, and sixth individually in the 3-6-3 with a 2.499. Daniel Kutz was first in the 35-and-older, team-timed 3-6-3 relay with a 22.752. Kutz also finished fourth in the doubles competition with a 13.733. Individually, he was fourth in the 3-3-3 with a 3.171, seventh in the 3-6-3 with a 3.936 and sixth in the cycle with a 12.329.

www.nw-ads.com opinion that if they have so many copies of the Bible at home, why put it in my heart?” he said. “In antiquity, the greatest virtue was to put the Bible in your heart.” Meyer learned the ancient art of memorization while living in Jerusalem and exploring the Holy Land the last four years. Meyer memorized more than 10 books of the Bible verbatim and speaks them from memory dramatically as a profession, such as the entire book of Revelation.

NorthCreek Capital LLC, 2711 West Valley Highway North, Suite 200, Auburn, WA 98001, is seeking coverage under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s Construction Stormwater NPDES and State Waste Discharge General Permit. The proposed project, NorthCreek Corporate Campus, is located at 28721 West Valley Highway, and 6603 and 6600 South 287th Street in Auburn, in King County. This project involves 13.5 acres of soil disturbance for commercial construction activities. Stormwater will be discharged in two places: (1) to Tributary 045 and the Mullen Slough, and (2) the existing ditch on the west side of West Valley Highway and Mill Creek. Both discharges ultimately flow to the Green River. Any persons desiring to present their views to the Washington State Department of Ecology regarding this application, or interested in Ecology’s action on this application, may notify Ecology in writing no later than 30 days of the last date of publication of this notice. Ecology reviews public comments and considers whether discharges from this project would cause a measurable change in receiving water quality, and, if so, whether the project is necessary and in the overriding public interest according to Tier II antidegradation requirements under WAC 173201A-320.

It’s an all-hands-on-deck type of show.” And all part of the fun. “It’s just so smart,” Laurie said. “It’s very funny. There is nothing like it. It’s like the ‘Carol Burnett Show’ live on stage.” Tickets are $17 regular, $15 student and senior. To order, call 253-931-3043 or go online through Brown Paper Tickets at www. auburnwa.gov/arts.
...obituaries Elizabeth (Beth) Claire Johnson Wagner Koehne, 101 Beth died April 16, 2013 after a short illness. She was born September 16, 1911 in Cashmere, WA to George and Bertha (Thayer) Johnson. They moved to Okanogan in 1920. There were several tragedies in Beth’s early life. Her six year old sister died from a rattlesnake age 97 bite.Then their family home burned to the ground. Beth also survived polio. Her family’s strong religious faith helped her through these trials. Beth graduated from Okanogan High School in 1929. She attended Washington State College briefly but withdrew so she could marry Ralph Wagner, her high school sweetheart. age The Okanogan Methodist Church 23 was her spiritual and social center. She played the piano and sang beautifully. One of her great pleasures was attending Auburn Symphony Orchestra performances. She was a homemaker whose optimistic personality and big smile made people feel at ease. She always tried to say only positive things about people. After Ralph died in 1974, Beth married Henry Koehne (“Kain”), a widower and a summer romance of hers during high school. She enjoyed living with his large family in Wisconsin until he passed away in 1986 and has remained close to that family. She lived near her son, Auburn City Councilman Richard (Kay) Wagner until, at age 95, she finally gave up driving her little red car and moved to Wesley Homes Lea Hill, a Continuing Care Retirement campus, where she enjoyed living very much. Beth’s family with Ralph includes children Richard (Kay) Wagner in Auburn, and Carolyn (Dean) Allerdice in Honolulu, grandchildren Rand (deceased), Jill (Colin) Donaldson in Pittsburgh, Holly (Matt) Bauermeister in Lake Tapps, Annie (Bernie) Holliday in Bradenton, FL, Mike Goodburn in Auburn, and great-grandchildren Molly, Hannah, Neil and Elisa.

PUBLIC NOTICES
Valerie Fagan and Jeanne Montano and musical accompaniment by Catherine Stornetta. “It’s a show which parodies Broadway shows. It’s like they say, ‘You always hurt the ones you love,’” said McGlynn, who has performed in the show off and on since 1996. “It’s sort of like ‘Saturday Night Live’ for the theater. There have been several incarnations of the show, and it changes every year and a half to two years. New numbers go in and old numbers come out. For the road show we do a lot of the classic numbers from the shows, stuff that if you’re alive you’d have heard before.” According to Laurie, the pacing of the show is

Showtime is 7:30 p.m., April 26 and 27. The show, the longestrunning Off-Broadway production in history, pokes fun at Broadway’s finest, with songs parodying blockbusters such as “Les Miserables,” “The Lion King,” “Annie” and “Phantom of the Opera.” According to Craig Laurie, one of four actors performing more than 40 roles on stage, “Forbidden Broadway” was created in 1982 by actor and playwright Gerard Alessandrini, while he was working as a waiter in New York City. “One of the first (parodies) he did was about
‘Camelot,’” Laurie said. “He turned ‘I Wonder What the King Is Doing Tonight?’ into ‘I Wonder What the King Is Drinking Tonight.’ Of course, Richard Harris, who played King Arthur (in ‘Camelot’), was rumored to be bit of a drinker.” Realizing that he had mined comedic and musical gold, Alessandrini set about compiling a repertoire of parody skits, and put on a show, “Forbidden Broadway”, in a cabaret with the help of friends. “It took off like wild fire,” Laurie said. “The stars that they parodied actually came to see the show because it’s done with love.” The traveling version of the show features Laurie, actors Kevin B.
