This year’s market features more than 50 vendors along with plenty of fresh produce from local farmers. Several longtime vendors will return, along with master gardeners and local crafters. As for food vendors, Great Harvest Bread will sell classic goodies, Little Russia bistro will serve crepes, Charro Azteca will whip up Mexican food, Parsnips will offer German grub, and Ono Chargrilled Burgers will put a Hawaiian spin on an American classic.

Cop stops traffic for ducks
Officer Dave Johnson of the Federal Way Police Department stopped traffic to help a family of ducks — a mother and her 13 ducklings — cross the road. Suzanne Hitztaler captured this photo of the feathered pedestrians around 11:30 a.m. Thursday, April 25, on South 320th Street just east of Pacific Highway. The photo went viral after Hitztaler posted it on The Mirror’s Facebook page. Federal Way police note that the department takes all pedestrian safety seriously. PHOTO BY SUZANNE HITZTALER
As the city tries to figure out ways to revitalize Federal Way’s economy and business community, one idea is to ask high school students to tackle the task. The Finance/Economic Development/Regional Affairs Committee (FEDRAC) held a frank discussion during its April 23 meeting about possible branding/marketing efforts. Led by FEDRAC chair Dini Duclos, the committee, along with economic and community development director Patrick Doherty, began to spitball some ideas about what rebranding might mean for Federal Way. “I think that some of us feel that if we move on
the civic center, which contains the performing arts and conference center downtown, some other people will begin to show interest,” Duclos said. “The mall is getting a big renovation. Isn’t it time that maybe we looked at our image that we have out there? And come up with a new tagline and a new logo? And a better description of this city.” Duclos suggested that perhaps the rebranding effort could be held as a contest among the city’s high schools. This would have the added benefit of engaging the city’s youth and also keeping costs low, she said. Committee member Susan Honda suggested that if that’s the direction [ more REBRAND, page 10 ]
The intersection of downtown blight By ANDY HOBBS editor@fedwaymirror.com
Federal Way’s so-called downtown core brimmed with potential before the recession froze the U.S. economy. A prime illustration of the recession’s effect on Federal Way can be seen at the intersection of 20th Avenue South and South 316th Street. Today, all four corners are plagued by garbage, graffiti, abandoned buildings and vacant lots. On the southeast corner, crews demolished the AMC Theatres in 2007 to make way for a string of failed proposals that included skyscrapers and a “crystal
palace.” The latest proposal under consideration is a park with a “town square” surrounded by private businesses and residences. The city owns this 4-acre site. On the northeast corner is the former Toys R Us, which closed in 2006, alongside another decaying building that once housed Target. The 4-acre site is slated for a $32 million performing arts and conference center (PACC) with a hotel. City leaders hope the 700-seat PACC, if it’s built, will transform the downtown area and act as a catalyst for development. Also on this side of the street is a half-full strip mall with [ more DOWNTOWN, page 11 ]
On Tuesday, a father took his son for a driving lesson in the empty parking lot by the old Toys R Us building on 20th Avenue South, just north of South 320th Street.

Raising chickens in your backyard From staff reports
The City of Federal Way is hosting a free “Backyard Chickens” workshop on from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, at City Hall. The workshop is the first in the city’s planned series of “Green Living Workshops.” These workshops will run the second Wednesday of every month this year, and are aimed at a wide range of “green” topics, such as food canning and preservation, organic gardening, and energy saving techniques. For the Backyard Chickens workshop, experts from Seattle Tilth will share their knowledge on how to raise healthy hens in backyards. To RSVP, call (253) 8352700 or visit cityoffederal way.com/greenliving.
The Washington State Legislature will begin its sixth special session in the past three years when lawmakers return to Olympia on May 13. The biggest fight will continue to be the state budget. The House and the Senate produced budgets considered to be on the opposite ends of the spectrum, although both address some of the pressing needs of the state, including the fight over education funding. Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposed budget falls somewhere in between the two. Regardless, Inslee said he thinks the budget battle could end up being protracted in this special session. “The parties are not miles apart at the moment. They are light years apart,” Inslee said at an April 29 press conference. “We have a lot of work to do to get people to move to where we will need to reach a consensus here.” The House and Senate budgets began the long project of “fully funding” education by 2018 as handed down from the State Supreme Court’s decision in the McCleary case. Each appropriated nearly $1 billion or more for education funding. The House budget has been criticized because it makes this “down payment” on McCleary by closing tax exemptions on a variety of businesses and products in the state and pulls from the state’s “rainy day” fund. The Senate budget was blasted by Inslee and others because it begins
the process of funding education by freeing up money with the elimination of various programs and agencies that serve underprivileged adults and children. For Federal Way, the special session won’t be as big of a monkey wrench in local budget planning. “The lack of a final budget will require a tiered set of assumptions regarding changes in state funding for public education,” said Sally McLean, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services for Federal Way Public Schools. “These tiered assumptions have domino effects on program planning, hiring and staffing changes.” As McLean has noted in recent school board meetings, 2013 will probably mark the first time since the economic downturn began in 2008, that education funding will trend upward in the state. “We are pleased... that the domino effects are anticipated to be reflective of an upward trend in funding,” she said. The extended session’s timing doesn’t have as significant of an effect on the city’s budget planning process, but Federal Way will keep an eye on the proceedings in Olympia. “Several city priorities are awaiting funding decisions,” said city spokesman Chris Carrel. “Those include funding requests for the Triangle (I-5 interchange) and Critical Capacity (sewer pipeline) projects, as well as the performing arts and conference center, and funding for the metal theft prevention legislation the city is requesting.”

Last week, Federal Way had what may be the most terrifying day in its history. An apparent domestic dispute became a cold-blooded massacre that left five people dead, including the shooter, and left an entire community’s equilibrium in doubt. The Federal Way Police Department held a community meeting three days later attended by local ministers and chaplains to help the neighborhood through the grieving process. The evening was a dramatic and overpowering moment as the residents of the Pinewood Village Apartments met to reflect on what had happened in a way that only those now bonded together in the tragic shared experience could understand. They thanked the first responders, including eight officers who fired their weapons and who likely saved the carnage from being much worse. Some comparisons to the shootings in Newtown and the bombings in Boston were sadly inevitable. It had only been a few days since we saw the mayor of Boston, the governor and police authorities describe the end of the Boston manhunt. In Federal Way, a press conference was held as soon as possible after the event to ensure that the public, through the media, knew what had happened. But only police attended. We didn’t hear from our political leaders until the community meeting three days later. The mayor, deputy mayor and the police chief expressed their condolences, and an officer went over the general outline of what had happened that fateful Sunday evening. But the evening was as striking for what wasn’t discussed as for what was. In listening to the residents, it was clear that many were
still in a state of shock and thankful to be alive. Processing the emotional impact of the murders was almost too overwhelming for many to comprehend. Others, however, were starting to move to another level of predictable reaction that follows a tragedy. They were asking “how could this happen,” as questions about the murderer’s past brushes with the law and verbal domestic abuse problems with women had started to emerge from the media. The ground rules stated by the police didn’t really allow the opportunity for substantive questions. Some caution, given the investigation, is expected. But the reluctance to engage citizens — whose neighborhood became a battlefield — in a more meaningful dialogue had a very chilling effect on some in the crowd. The grief continues in Newtown, Conn., but now they are demanding changes in gun laws from their political leaders so it doesn’t happen again. In Boston, they are asking more pointed questions about “who knew what” and “when did they know it” as the possibility of recriminations starts to emerge. Here in Federal Way, we haven’t reached that step in the grieving process. At least not yet. But questions are surfacing about how someone known to police and with a history of anger issues was able to possess guns. Officials tell the public he had a legal right to own and carry a gun because he hadn’t done anything to warrant losing that right. That may be accurate, but now seems hollow and uncaring. He used that right to murder four people. The evening was helpful as some needed the support that the police and chaplains provided. Others needed answers and assurances that [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

Leaders miss the big question INSIDE POLITICS
EDITORIAL
As we move on as a community from the horrific events on April 21 that left four innocent victims and the perpetrator dead, I am reminded of the five stages of grief — denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. While each of us affected by this tragedy will proceed through these stages at our own paces, there are certain facets of society that must act more responsibly in times like these. In this particular case, your city leaders were remiss in how they handled the events after this shooting in Federal Way. Unlike the events in Boston, ours was an open and shut case as the assailant was killed in the process. We didn’t need to shut the city down, proceed through a massive manhunt and then start the aftermath processes. We advanced right to the aftermath. The police department performed an admirable, if not exemplary job. They responded on time, stayed vigilant and called a press conference to inform the public. At this point, things started to break down. Where was Mayor Skip Priest during this initial press conference? Not only did he not speak, he wasn’t even present. While I will grant the fact that this was predominately a police-centered press conference, the mayor should have opened the meeting assuring the general public that all of us were safe, that this was an isolated event, and that there would be a follow-up meeting — and then turn it over to the police chief for the details. Consider the events in Boston as an example. The mayor was at every press conference. In fact, he checked himself out of the hospital and waved off painkillers to be there. He led that city from the beginning to the end. If that wasn’t enough, a few days later, The Mirror was astounded to receive a memo from the police department with an open invitation to the community to attend a remembrance meeting for the victims at City Hall. During this meeting, Mayor Priest, Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell and Chief Brian Wilson all spoke poignantly and with deep concern to the victims’ families with their individual remarks and support. Halfway through, the meeting took an unusual turn. The memo and the handout at the door in part stated that “we would like to respectfully request at this time that any members of the audience not a resident of Pinewood Apartments or a family member of victims excuse themselves at this time.” Huh? So let me get this straight. We, as members of this community, are invited to a public meeting, held at City Hall, but then halfway through the meeting, were ushered out because we didn’t qualify for the remainder of the meeting? Indeed, that is exactly what occurred. For the first time, I wondered whether the mayor’s office or the police department was running this city. Imagine the outrage in Boston had [ more ALCOTT, page 5 ]

to change laws regarding domestic violence against women, mental health, and the ease with which guns are obtained by those who shouldn’t have them. The murderer was known to police. They knew he carried guns. And the last time he came to their attention, it was over another domestic case with a different woman. And he was driving the car of the woman he would later murder. Did the police follow up? The mayor could have offered that he would have his police department review their internal procedures to take a closer look in the future in similar circumstances — or ask more questions. We should have heard that just talking about a tragedy isn’t enough. If everyone is left to work through their grief but nothing changes, we have undervalued the lives of the
[ ALCOTT from page 4] the city issued a statement that said “Only the people of the blocks that were cordoned off to capture the fugitives could attend the meeting. All the rest of you need to go away.” I can’t imagine that scenario because it didn’t and couldn’t have ever happened. Except, of course, in Federal Way. The Boston mayor understood that the only way to heal from such an ordeal is to invite everyone into the healing process. The City of Federal Way was on the right track, right up until they asked most of the community to leave a public meeting as if this didn’t pertain to them. By doing so, the city kept the press and the public from hearing any questions and answers the
victims. Could these murders have been avoided by changing the laws? Maybe, maybe not. But citizens have a right to know that the people they elected are trying. The story about the murders in Federal Way has been replaced on most front pages by another tragedy in another town. But this story didn’t happen in Connecticut, or Colorado, or Massachusetts. This time it happened here, right here, and four innocent people aren’t with their families anymore. For those families, this will never be over. Something positive can come out of this if changes are made. The Legislature is back in session in two weeks. Are our leaders up to the challenge?

residents may have asked. In an effort to create accordance, the city created divisiveness. I, for one, am appalled by this action and want to personally apologize to all of the citizens of Federal Way for the city’s ineptitude in the handling of the community meetings. As I enter the acceptance phase, I respectfully request the leaders of Federal Way to do the same. Accept the fact that you mishandled this and begin to move the city in a direction that will heal the community. Your entire community deserves this, in likely the greatest time of need that this community will ever face.
Mirror publisher Rudi Alcott: ralcott@federalwaymirror.com
Poster child runs in the red Supporters of the performing arts and conference center (PACC) have often heralded the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) as a poster child for the Federal Way project. Both the unofficial PACC spokesperson and the spokesman for the mayor’s office have claimed that the ECA operates in the black. As a skeptic of all things financial, I decided to investigate this claim. After several emails, a few phone calls and lots of research, I found a 2012 report from the State Auditor’s office stating that the ECA was “at risk of not meeting its financial obligations.” Turns out, the ECA is only operating in the black if you ignore nearly $500,000 of annual taxpayer subsidies. When the ECA was built, the City of Edmonds instituted a 0.033 percent sales tax to fund the organization. In addition, Snohomish County agreed to make annual contributions, currently in excess of $200,000. In order to keep the ECA from missing loan payments, the City of Edmonds has been forced to loan the ECA more than $500,000 over the last few years. While in government accounting this may be considered “operating in the black,” the rest of us consider it to be massively in the red. So what does this mean for Federal Way? First, the mayor’s office needs to have an honest discussion with the community about how they plan to pay for the construction and operation of the PACC. Recently, the mayor’s office reported they had $5.4 million of “available funds.” How does a city that has cut millions from the roads budget and 15 positions from the police department have more than $5 million of available funds? At least indirectly, the mayor’s office is trading public safety and potholes for
PACC construction. In addition, the city will be forced to either further cut services and/or raise taxes to cover ongoing subsidies for debt payments and operational losses. Second, we need accountability. As we have seen with the SCORE jail, it is easy to blame somebody else for a problem that is causing all of us to suffer. PACC supporters and the mayor’s office need to make someone accountable when the PACC requires even more money than is currently projected. Short of finding a private investor (think Chris Hansen and the Sonics), I’m not sure how to do this. Third, it’s time for PACC supporters to get organized and start a capital campaign. If I were Czar of Federal Way, I wouldn’t commit another dime of taxpayer money until PACC supporters can gather $1 million of their own money (less than 4 percent of the total cost). In connection with a capital campaign, PACC supporters need a single voice to the community and a system to organize anyone who is willing to help. In addition to generating more support, it will also help control those PACC supporters, including at least one member of the Federal Way City Council, who have resorted to slandering people who express opposition to this project. For the record, I’m not opposed to building a PACC, as it certainly can’t hurt the downtown redevelopment. However, I am very much opposed to misleading taxpayers to build yet another pet project that will further erode our public safety. Matthew Jarvis
Federal Way City Council member and as the deputy mayor. His record on public safety is unparalleled in this city. As horrendous crime gets more and more prevalent in Federal Way, I say we need Jim Ferrell to be our mayor. The current mayor has unabashedly placed public safety and the Federal Way Police Department second to building a $32 million performing arts and conference center. That does not fly well with me and folks I know. Jim has been a leader in our community as deputy mayor. He has been a senior King County prosecutor for several years, and it is he who led the effort to allow the citizens of Federal Way to vote for their mayor. He is uniquely the man for the job.
good ole Magic and see if they could start a discussion about a partnership in the long-discussed PACC (performing arts and conference center). This partnership might have more traction than the failed attempt to build the “Crystal Palace.” The object of the City of Federal Way should be to take as much of the financial burden off the residents. Along with a Canyon-Johnson partnership, much of the annual operating cost could be absorbed. A $1 per PACC-related ticket user fee would help offset cost as well. So how much creativity and drive do our council members and mayor have? Do they have the motivation to pick up the phone and call Magic and see if there might be some interest from this group? This group might actually get this project moving on the fast track, thus saving residents the cost that gets higher each day we wait. Seattle Mayor McGinn said on March 5 in regard to the Chris Hansen’s Sonics arena project that the City of Seattle is currently turning away convention business. This is business we could have here in our city. Is that not motivation to move now? Just maybe this partnership could be the driving factor in the development of long overdue downtown corridor. We can only hope.

— virtually unheard of in the retail world. I wish the company I worked for was closed on Sundays. Hobby Lobby recently raised its minimum wage for full-time employees to $14 an hour and to $9.50 an hour for part-time employees. In spite of the tough economic climate we have endured over the past five years, Hobby Lobby has increased wages for hourly full-time employees in each of those five years, and has raised part-time wages for the past four consecutive years. With the recent increase, full-time hourly employees are making nearly double the federal minimum wage, and higher than our state minimum wage, yet that fact is nowhere to be found in the liberal media. A quick Google search landed me on a CareerBuilders page with a Hobby Lobby job listing, where I discovered a full range of benefits. If I were unemployed, Hobby Lobby might be an interesting option to consider. My intent isn’t for this article to become a job posting or advertisement for Hobby Lobby, but I simply can’t read Ms. Johnson’s article and not wonder what her true motive is. If it was just a rant, that’s great. She’s entitled to that. But if it was something more, then this is “my turn” to respond to her. Federal Way is a tough enough place for businesses to grow and prosper. Let’s not run a new business partner out of town simply because we disagree with the founder’s beliefs and company policies. If you don’t like it, shop somewhere else. But remember that some of our neighbors are counting on the success of Hobby Lobby for the well being of themselves and their families. And their growing families…you know, when the condom breaks! On a serious note, unwanted or unexpected pregnancies can be very difficult for a woman.

Beach Boys, Nancy Sinatra, the Wrecking Crew and the 5th Dimension. Longtime Centerstage patrons Don and Peggy Doman dug into their rock memorabilia collection to donate the drumheads. The Domans regularly bring their family to Centerstage productions, including favorites like the annual English panto. “I hope it brings some money, but I also hope it brings more people,” Don Doman told The Mirror about the donation. Alan Bryce, artistic director for Centerstage, said proceeds from the auction will help fund the not-forprofit theater company. “Any gift we get is very significant, more significant than it would be for one of the bigger theater compa-
nies around,” he said. David Duvall, music director for Centerstage, created the show featuring the works of artists such as Janis Joplin, Elton John, The Beatles, Elvis Presley and several Motown legends.
CHECK IT OUT The show runs May 10 through May 26 at the Knutzen Family Theatre, 3200 SW Dash Point Road. Performances are 8 p.m. Fridays and 2 p.m. Sundays. The first weekend, tickets are $15 each. The second weekend, tickets are $20, and the third weekend, tickets are $25. For tickets, call (253) 661-1444 or visit centerstagetheatre.com. Those who bid on the silent auction get free admission to future performances if they bring two friends.

...MOTHER’S DAY
Mother’s Day is Sunday – May 12th, 2013
What is a mother?
May Specials for Moms Everywhere!
By Rudi Alcott, Mirror publisher
What is a mother? As we celebrate Mother’s Day next weekend, I challenge you to ask yourself this question. In its strict definition, a mother is: (n) a woman in relation to a child or children to whom she has given birth. Well, true, but it goes beyond that. I think it is probably the hardest job in the world that gets the least respect (and pay). A mother is someone who raises a child, not just gives birth to it. She is someone who holds a position of authority but utilizes it only when needed — this is generally when the middle name is used. She knows where every microscopic Lego and puzzle piece reside. She can cook dinner while talking on the phone and helping the kids with their algebra, all while figuring out what dress goes with which shoes. She raises her boys to do good things and be great men while letting the girls go first. She loves — unconditionally. This minimally sums up my wife and mother of two boys. She is quite possibly the greatest mother ever on this planet. Your experience is likely the same. Use May 12 to tell her about it.

Ruth Jeanette Simmons Barber Ruth completed her voyage through life on April 19, 2013 at age 92, in Federal Way, Washington. She leaves her husband John R. “Jack” Barber, daughters Janine Barber and Cindi Paris of Federal Way, grandsons John C. Paris and W. David Paris of Bellevue, and great-grandchildren Maya, Madison and Kai Paris of Bellevue. A leader, organizer, respected matriarch and business woman, she was emulated by many. Born in Hartford, Connecticut February 11, 1921, Ruth was the middle child of the late Ray and Hesper Simmons. Ruth’s lifelong interest in the world around her culminated in many trips to exotic places and new international friends. Called the “flower of the family” she met life’s problems with Yankee practicality and aplomb. Ruth was one who successfully defied setbacks and challenges with intelligence and dignity. A graduate of Cushing Academy and Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, she married Jack in 1942 at the outset of America’s entry into WW2. Defying expectations, the youthful couple’s marriage lasted 701/2 years! During Jack’s Europe WW2 service, she was a metallurgist/chemist at nearby Pratt and Whitney’s East Hartford aircraft engine plant. After the war, two daughters arrived. Busy community life in Hartford County enabled Ruth to do public service such as Bloomfield’s Board of Education, politics, president of several womens’ clubs, and to attend school, ham radio and military reunions. Amateur radio emergency services filled a need among the many (she held the FCC’s Extra Class call K1IIF). Their summer country home in cool East Hartland was a family favorite ... Life was good. Once the girls entered adulthood, Ruth in 1966 formed the town’s first travel agency, Barber Travel, Inc. and was its president for the next eighteen years. She found time for visits to the 50 United States, western Europe including the Soviet Union, India, Kenya, photo safari in Zambia, Iceland, arctic Svalbard, Norway; the Caribbean (especially Barbados where her “ham” call was 8P6EL, - “Easy Lady”, Australia, French Polynesia and so many more. A beloved trip was to Chile’s Easter Island where she met its first radio ham there, hermit-like Father Dave. As a visiting “YL” or “Young Lady”, then a rarity in the hobby, she was hailed in Japanese and German and other radio journals. Becoming Washington residents in 1984, so as to be near their descendants, the Barbers’ good life (and still more public service) lasted 25 years at Lacey’s Panorama retirement community, as well as happy times at their Summit Lake, Olympia, shore house. Later, as a Federal Way area resident, she enjoyed its Community Center pool, and was a member of the Brown’s Point United Methodist Church in adjoining Tacoma. Mills & Mills Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Tumwater is handling the arrangements.

Hoops: Broussard MVP in Iceland Jefferson By CASEY OLSON sports@fedwaymirror.com
Basketball is truly a worldwide game. Just ask Aaron Broussard. The Federal Way High School graduate was recently named the Most Valuable Player of Iceland’s Express League championship series. Broussard’s Grindavik team held off Stjarnan in the decisive game of the five-game title series. Grindavik won the fifth game, 79-74. Broussard finished the final game on April 28 with 25 points, nine assists and five assists to lead Grindavik. During the five-game series, Broussard averaged 28.6 points and 10 rebounds a game. Even more impressive is the fact that he averaged 34 points during Grindavik’s three wins in the championship series, including 39 in the opening game.

alpha-dogs of the world. Ultra-competitive people who would run over their own mother to get a win. A majority of men dream of being them and there are plenty of women who want to be with them, so to speak. It would be impossible to be a homosexual male in today’s sporting landscape, right?

SIDELINES
Current NBA center Jason Collins came out as the first active player in one of the four major U.S. professional sports league as openly gay on Monday.
Jason Collins became the first active player in one of the four major U.S. professional sports leagues to come out as openly gay. The Stanford University graduate, who played with the Washington Wizards this season in the National Basketball Association (NBA), did so in a Sports Illustrated article posted Monday. It’s been a long time coming, mainly because of the notion that male professional athletes are the
port, he said. Sure, there are always going to be the ill-informed, set-in-their-ways person who thinks their lifestyle should be pushed on everybody else in the world. These people are never going to change, no matter what happens. It warms my heart that Collins is receiving widespread support for his decision to “come out.” It should lead the way for others to follow in his footsteps. Here’s hoping that, in the future, a player’s sexual preference is a [ more sidelines page 18 ]

and mimosas. [ sidelines from page 17] balls Carmelo Anthony isn’t non-story. I, for one, really don’t understand why somebody’s sexual preference is even a story. What’s the big deal? Does it affect how Collins plays basketball? Would he be a better player if he was married with two mistresses, like some of his teammates? Being gay is not a contagious disease. Players who come into contact with Collins aren’t going to, all of a sudden, start finding other men attractive. LeBron James isn’t going to play defense against Collins and suddenly want to put together a brunch complete with a vegetable quiche, decorative melon
going to block Collins out for a rebound and then head straight for a boutique following the game to come up with a new wallpapercurtain-furniture interior design combination for his formal living room. Chris Paul isn’t going to steal a pass from Collins and become obsessed with Broadway musicals. That’s just not how things work. And what does a professional athlete’s offthe-field conduct or sexual preference have to do with what they can accomplish on the field anyway? The easy answer is, it doesn’t.

charged with crimes.” The list is staggering and a lot of the guys are still playing. Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Michael Vick spent 23 months in prison after being convicted of financing a dog fighting operation. Kobe Bryant, one of the most popular and highest-paid athletes in the world, is an admitted adulterer who was accused of rape just a few years ago. The same goes for Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Collins’ only “crime” is being a homosexual. “I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation,” Collins wrote. “I
wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, ‘I’m different.’ If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I’m raising my hand.” Several male athletes have previously come out after they retired, including the NBA’s John Amaechi, the NFL’s Esera Tuaolo and Major League Baseball’s Billy Bean. But Collins is the first to do so while planning to continue playing. Professional soccer player Robbie Rogers, who publicly came out early this year, tweeted, “I feel a movement coming,” in reaction to Collins’ announcement. “I think, I know, in my personal life, I’m ready and I think the country

I know that I, right now, am the happiest that I’ve ever been in my life.” Dozens of NBA players sent messages to Collins after the Sports Illustrated story. Even President Barack Obama called Collins
to offer his support. “It’s incredible. Just try to live an honest, genuine life and the next thing you know you have the president calling you,” Collins said. “He was incredibly supportive and he was proud of me, said this not only affected my life but others going forward.” Former President Bill Clinton, whose daughter, Chelsea, was a classmate of Collins at Stanford, said it was “an important moment for professional sports.”

He led the Redhawks in scoring at 18.2 points a game during his senior season and finished his Seattle U career 13th on the alltime scoring list with 1,455 points. He is also second on the school’s all-time steals list with 161. Broussard averaged 7.5 points a game as a freshman, 10.3 as a sophomore and 14.5 as a junior for the Redhawks. Broussard really started establishing himself as one of the better basketball players in the state during Federal Way’s run during the 2008 Class 4A State
Boys Basketball Tournament. The then-senior, led the Eagles to the program’s first-ever appearance in the state title game, which ended in a loss to unbeaten Ferris. Broussard was a monster during Federal Way’s fourgame run to second place. He averaged 20.3 points and was named first-team, all-tournament. He tallied 29 points, 14 rebounds and three steals during Federal Way’s semifinal win over Decatur.
TJ’s Danny Park commits to play at Wheaton Coll. Current Thomas Jefferson senior Danny Park will play basketball at Wheaton College. The 5-foot-11 point guard committed to the Division III program just outside of Chicago recently. Park was a three-year letter winner at TJ and is on the top-10 list at the school in assists and steals. He is also in the top-20 in points, according to head coach
Kyle Templeton. As a senior, Park averaged 9.7 points, led the team with 5.3 assists and grabbed 4.0 rebounds a game. But Park’s true meaning came on the defensive side of the court for Jefferson. The 5-foot-11 guard was one of the best on-ball defenders in the SPSL, according to Templeton. “Danny did a great job running the team this last year,” Templeton said. “He has Danny Park worked extremely hard to become a college basketball player. Danny’s athleticism and skills are going to make him a very good player in Division III. He is the best on-ball defender I have ever been around. That skill will definitely translate to the next level.” Wheaton finished the 2012-13 season with a record of 21-7. They lost at the NCAA Division III Tournament.
