Lifetime to air 'The Gabby Douglas Story'on Feb.1
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Since she captivated the world during her gold-medal performance at the 2012 Olympics, gymnast Gabby Douglas has had news both bad and good. On the good side, she published two books and got TV gigs like a reporting job for "Inside Edition" at this year's Super Bowl. On the downside, she had to address stories about her father, who had not been in her life for years, and ludicrous debates about her hair.
But ups and downs were nothing new for the young star, as is clear in "The Gabby Douglas Story," which premieres at 8 p.m. EST Saturday on Lifetime. The movie is one competitor's story of determination to succeed in the games, the kind of thing we will hear a lot of beginning Feb.6 when the early rounds of
the Sochi games start.
racism and bullying Douglas would later describe.
So the movie has young Gabby, full of energy and precocious talent for gymnastics. It has her studying Olympian Shawn Johnson and deciding that she should work with Johnson's coach, Liang Chow (Brian Tee), which she eventually did. It has her threat to quit when she grew weary of training in Iowa while her family was in Virginia. It has some mild conflict with other gymnasts in her early years, though not the degree of
In a preview copy of the film, her success at the Olympics is shown in a brief series of clips of the real Douglas and her family, so don't come to this expecting tales of the Fierce Five team. Instead, it focuses on the years leading up to those moments, with Douglas played by Sydney Mikayla as a child and by Imani Hakim in her later years.
Even more, it has the story of Natalie Hawkins (Regina King), who struggled to meet the enormous financial demands of a gymnastics career while bringing up Gabby and three other children. The movie has her trying to be realistic, only to recognize that Gabby has a remarkable gift that should be used—even if that leads to sacrifices along the way. Nor is Hawkins the only one to offer emotional support; there are also Gabby's siblings, and Natalie's mother (S. Epatha Merkerson).
We all know how the story ends—and, if you have paid much attention to stories about Douglas, the vignettes that are pasted together for this movie. The idea, of course, is to believe in dreams and then work hard to achieve them.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS AND VOLS NEEDED FOR THIS YEAR'S BIG EVENT!
On Saturday, April 12, 2014,
about 4,000 University of Kansas students, staff and faculty will disperse to over 500 job sites across Lawrence to say "thank you" in one big day of service.
This annual community service event is aptly called "The Big Event," and is just one of many activities advised by the KU Memorial Unions' Program Office. The event has nearly quadrupled in size in its four years at KU. With a motto of "One big day, one big thanks, one big event," the KU students hope to say thank you to the Lawrence community that provides so much for them every other day of the year.
Any Lawrence resident, school, agency, etc. may request for the Big Event to send volunteers. Volunteers rake, plant garden beds, trim bushes, clean out garages, gutters, and more. Last year volunteers even built a handicap accessible ramp for a local resident so that her son could access the house in his wheelchair.
railing, plant flowers and mulch,
install a bird prevention screen,
and move my fridge so I could
clean behind it," says Cindy
Sexton, a Lawrence resident. "IT
WAS GREAT! They were so
friendly and eager to work."
Students often say that the connection to these Lawrence residents and the ability to get to know them is the most rewarding part of the experience.
"I had students come paint my bathroom and front porch
.
Although any KU student, staff or faculty is welcome to volunteer, many of the volunteers are student groups from academic departments or clubs on campus wishing to do service together. Last year the Multicultural Scholars Program was able to provide over 30 volunteers, helping Lawrence High with a massive planting project and spreading hundreds of bags of mulch.
Registration for KU volunteers wishing to participate in the Big Event, and for Lawrence residents wishing to submit service requests finally opens tomorrow, January 31. Both registration forms are available at www.thebigeventku.com.
