Seeing purple? That’s right; the community of Cave Creek and Carefree decorated the region purple in honor of the third annual Relay for Life held at Cactus Shadows High School.

The two-day event, which concluded Sunday, exceeded its goal of raising $55,000.

The money raised will go towards the American Cancer Society’s programs and services.

ACS’s goal is to fight back against cancer by educating people on the research and resources the organization has to offer.

Some people are visual learners.

For those folks there were before and after photos of teens. The before photos displayed first, show bright eyed and hopeful young adults in year book or driver’s license photos. In the after photos, taken when they were arrested on drug charges all less than two years later, the same teens are haggard looking, with lost hopeless eyes.

Some are auditory learners.For that group, a mother

identified only as Christine, shared the story of losing her 16-year-old daughter Abby to a heroine overdose, bringing several in the audience to tears.

“She was a beautiful girl, both inside and out,” Christine said. “We missed signs. Maybe we got a little lax because our two older daughters had never been in any trouble. We tried to get her help when we discovered she was using. She went to rehab. She talked to psychiatrists. She had a curfew and we waited up for her every night to make sure she was doing okay. We were drug testing her and we really thought she was doing better. The amount of guilt we feel every day is just unbearable. We don’t understand why she made the choices she did.”

The emphasis at the April 17 event, Operation Hope at the Anthem Community Center, was clear; being a hands-on learner could be a deadly mistake when it comes to drugs.

“It only takes trying it once to get hooked,” Christine said. “I will speak to any of you

President of Arizona State University Michael Crow was the keynote speaker Sunday at the annual reception for the Veterans Heritage Project at ASU West.

Crow spoke to a crowd of nearly 700 about the importance of the Veterans Heritage Project to academia.

“As we move forward and become more diverse, we leave our history to the cynics who write movies and portray things as if they are fanciful or morbid or worse; or we can have young scholars sit face to face with veterans,” Crow said in his speech.

The Veterans Heritage Project connects students with veterans

whom are interviewed and have their stories documented in a volume of books called Since You Asked. This year, two versions were published: one for the Phoenix metropolitan area and one for Tucson.

Barbara Hatch, the organization’s founder, said they chose Crow to speak because her organization is developing a partnership with the university.

“He’s trying to make Arizona State the most veteran friendly campus in the U.S. and we are hoping to take our program to ASU to help some of the veterans that are coming back from Afghanistan to transition to college life,” Hatch said.

Crow said there are more Submitted photoStudents of the Veterans Heritage Project met Sunday in Glendale at ASU West for a ceremony and book signing of the student’s latest effort in recording the stories of veterans they interviewed.

Superior defense earns Cactus Shadows win over Moon Valley

mARC BUCkHOUTmANAGING EDITOR

If the old adage that defense wins championships really is true the Cactus Shadows have to like their chances when the Division II state baseball tournament gets under way on Saturday.

“Right now we’re playing to our potential,” Cactus Shadows senior started Jake Colombo said. “The playoffs come down to defense and pitching. If we make the plays and throw strikes we’ll do just fine.”

Seeding hadn’t been finalized as of press time Tuesday, but at that time the Falcons stood at No. 12 in the power rankings.

“We might get as high as 10 is my

thought,” Falcons coach Gaetano Gianni said. “Only the top eight get a bye, but maybe it might be good to get another game under our belt and keep our momentum going rather than sitting on Saturday. Regardless of who we’ll be playing we’ll be excited to be on the field Saturday.

In a 24-team state tournament field, the top eight seeds get a first round bye with seeds 9-16 hosting 11 a.m. first round games on Saturday.

On Monday the Falcons won their ninth game in their last 11 contests, earning a 5-3 win over the Moon Valley Rockets in a game that was decided by

is the No.1 fundraising event in the world based on ACS numbers and statistics; it’s not only a nation-wide event but also a global event.

Levante, said services include educational materials, a 24/7 ACS hotline, the ACS website, research for new treatments and advocacy groups to help patients and families cope.

According to Cave Creek/Carefree Relay for Life’s Event Chair, Shannen Desautelle, Saturday’s event brought together 320 participants along with 62 survivors to join the cause to fight against cancer.

Showcasing a ‘70s theme, this year’s race was titled Peace, Love and a Cure. Decorated in 1970’s psychedelic colors; participants were dressed in hippy attire as at least one member of each team was walking the track from 6 p.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Sunday.

“I’m really proud of our entire community and glad that all of the survivors came out tonight.” Desautelle said.

Former Relay for Life Event Chair Deni Austin attended this year’s event with her husband Bob. Austin is a community member and eight-year Glioblastoma Multiforme survivor.

Austin gives special recognition to her husband Bob and to her daughter Sarah, who is studying abroad this semester

in England.“I have amazing support from

family and friends, especially my amazing daughter,” Austin stated.

Austin who attended with her husband said, “I couldn’t get through it without him, he is the best husband and a fantastic caregiver. He is awesome and I love him.”

Austin was diagnosed with grade four Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) in 2005. GBM, according to WebMD.com, is the most common malignant primary brain tumor, which is a mass that forms and invades the surrounding brain tissue. Austin said she underwent one brain surgery and six weeks of brain radiation and chemotherapy. She remained stable for many years, but last year they discovered two new tumors. She has had one more surgery and is currently on chemotherapy, with her 12th and last treatment scheduled in May. Austin said as of February she has been stable.

‘I walk all night because cancer never sleeps’ are words she knows very well. Those words are not only ACS’s words but her own because she knows firsthand how cancer has affected her.

“My cancer, which had been stable for six and a half years, all of sudden out of the blue decided to wake up and here I am…I am glad to be here,” stated Austin about attending this year’s Relay for Life.

Kyleigh Zmijewski/Special for The Foothills FocusThe third annual Relay for Life at Cactus Shadows High School in-cluded 320 participants walking the track in Cave Creek. The event, which concluded Sunday morning, raised more than $55,000 for the American Cancer Society.

than 2000 students at ASU who are veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Next year, Hatch hopes to grow the program, saying that their focus is to expand to other high schools as well as some community colleges in Arizona.

Crow said in an interview following his speech that ASU will be engaged with the organization’s growth.

“We’re going to try to help them connect with community colleges as they have outlined. We are one of their main allies,” Crow said, adding, “We have our history department involved as well other parts of the university, so it’s a significant project for us also.”

Crow was given the complete collection of Since You Asked from the Veterans Heritage Project at the reception.

Laura Byers, President of the Veterans Heritage Project, said the organization will be beneficial to the future of ASU, noting that many of the students in the organization will be attending the university.

“Here they have a pre-wired group of students that are sensitive and are willing to help with veterans services. That’s key for enabling veterans who come to ASU to become integrated with the student body,” Byers said.

In 2004, the project began with Cactus Shadows High School. There are now 14 schools in Arizona who take part.

“It’s kind of unique to this state for now. We hope we can take it national one day but who knows,” Hatch said, noting that there is one community college in Maryland that is taking part this year.

Sergeant First Class Paula A. Jenkins is a veteran of Desert Storm a member of the 403rd Combat Support Hospital. She admitted and kept track of patients to the hospital.

Getting involved through the director at Shea Middle School, Jenkins said she applauds the effort that is being put into each

of the books, saying, “The only way we can appreciate what we have as Americans is when we look at what the military has put out to keep us free.”

On her page in Since You Asked, she wants people to see that women have their place in the military.

“People have a view of women in the military as being hard, but we are still very feminine in the military. We carry ourselves as women,” Jenkins said.

Justin Yeck, a graduating senior at Cactus Shadows High School, has been involved with the program for four years. He has done eight interviews total and has interviewed people from all U.S. conflicts, including some of his family members, he said.

Yeck said one of the biggest challenges was overcoming the differences between his generation and of those he interviewed.

“It was a matter of exper-

ience,” Yeck said. “I did eight interviews and by the eighth one, it was like talking to one of my best friends. I’m not totally sure how that transition happened but it seemed pretty natural after talking to a few.”

Yeck will be attending Texas Tech University next year on an Air Force ROTC scholarship. He hopes to one day be a pilot.

“It’s been life-changing in terms of how my perspective has changed. Prior to VHP, I didn’t know what to think of veterans. I saw in black and white. I didn’t see the gray area that I now see, knowing their stories, what they went through, and what they continue to go through today,” Yeck said, “It’s immensely impacted my appreciation for the veterans, what they’ve done and what they now do.”

kids personally about the risks you’re taking if you don’t have the courage to say no.”

Throughout the year Anthem is hosting a series of four events aimed to help keep Anthem kids substance free.

The latest event focused on getting the message to junior high and high school students about the inherent dangers of even experimenting with drugs.

Anthem Community Executive Officer Jenna Kollings told an audience of 200 plus that she had missed the initial event, in January, to attend her sister’s funeral, after she was involved in an accident caused by a motorist driving under the influence.

“I’m excited that you’re all here,” she said in addressing a

room filled primarily with teens and their parents. “You are here because somebody cares about you. Tonight’s presentation will demonstrate the effects of drugs and offer ways to prevent you or your family members from falling to drugs. You should walk way from tonight with the mission of helping someone else in the fight against drugs. It’s not enough simply to make the decision that you won’t use.”

In addition to parents and their children, the event was also attended by members of the Phoenix Police Department, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, Stephanie Siete, the Director of Community Education for Community Bridges Inc., along with Boulder Creek principal Lauren Sheehan, Bill Gahn from the Deer Valley Unified School District and members of the

Anthem Community Council, including Holly Matson, one of the event’s chief organizers.

Phoenix Police Sergeant Jamie Rothschild said when he talks to children he tells them the most important piece of equipment he carries isn’t his Taser, handcuffs or even gun, but instead it’s his radio, which provides the ability to get help by communicating.

“It’s the same way with families,” he said. “Communication is the key. You have to have a back and forth with children. If there’s something different about the way your kid is acting ask them about it.”

Rothschild said that while most people assume marijuana would be the chief drug issue among teens prescription pills, especially Oxycontin and Oxycodone, have become

problematic as has heroine along with Spice.

The officer went on to say the vast majority of burglaries and robberies they respond to are directly related to drug issues.

While he said he wouldn’t proclaim how to be the perfect parent or want to tell people how to raise their children he did offer one bit of advice.

“If you would talk to affected families that have had to see their child go through issues related to drug use they would tell you not to feel bad about invading their privacy,” Rothschild said. “You’re not a bad parent if you feel the need to drug test your kid or search their room. Take back the power of being a parent. You want to trust your kid, but a lot of parents believe they have the perfect child and numbers tell us that we all can’t be

that lucky.”As was the case in the previous

forum Rothschild spoke of the benefits of making it a priority to try and have dinner as a family as a great way to keep lines of communication open between parents and children.

Should a problem arise Rothschild said the police department is more than happy to offer referrals, giving parents options if they need to get help for their children. Some of the resources available include drugfreeaz.org and communitybridgesaz.org.

The next forum in Anthem’s four-part series is set for Sept. 19 and is titled National Family Day Awareness and Drug Education Seminar. That seminar will also take place at the Anthem Community Center.

their superior defense.While both Rockets starter

Chandler Stubbs and Colombo were sharp in 5 2/3 innings of work, Colombo, who gave up nine hits was able to outduel Stubbs, who only allowed four hits.

The Falcons took a lead they would never relinquish in the top of the second. With Trevor Bebee on second base, following a two-base error on the Rockets right fielder, Paxton Ketchum earned a walk.

With two-outs Ryan Scrapulla hit what appeared to be an inning-ending groundout to second. Instead of taking the ball to the second base bag himself, for the force, Moon Valley shortstop Cole Novak anticipated his double play partner, second baseman Sebastian Perez, would cover the bag. When Perez didn’t cover the bag Novak was unable to beat Ketchum to second base.

Compounding the problem Novak then threw the ball past first baseman Joel Hansen.

The error scored Bebee.The inning continued to

deteriorate for the host Rockets as Stubbs tried a pickoff toss to first and threw it down the right field line, scoring the second run of the inning. When Cameron Ketchum hit a mammoth 400-foot home run to centerfield the Falcons had put across four unearned runs.

The Rockets got one run back in the bottom of the second, but the Falcons minimized the

damage when third baseman Jacob Muehlich made a leaping snag of a chopper along the third base line, came down and tagged third for the force and then threw across the infield to first base where Bebee caught the high throw while keeping his foot on the bag to record a rally-squelching double play.

“Our defense was really sharp today,” Gianni said. “I still believe that when we put it all together we’re a very tough team to beat. I think we have three pretty good pitchers capable of stopping any offense. That’s the wild card for us. If our pitchers keep us close I think we can win a lot of games in the state tournament and I think a lot of teams know that about us.”

Colombo said he thought his team may have been able to run away with Monday’s game.

“I thought we were going to run away with this one,” he said. “I thought we were going to hang up another crooked inning on them, but he settled down and threw a nice game.”

The game went to the sixth inning with Cactus Shadows still holding onto a three-run lead when the Rockets mounted a real threat. With runners on first and second and Colombo nearing 100 pitches on the night, Novak hit a jam-shot floater that landed over the head of the Falcons’ senior pitcher for an infield hit.

“I really wanted to finish the inning, but I had thrown a lot of pitches,” Colombo said. “I understood. (Mike) Stirling came in and did a great job so

that’s all that matters.”With the bases loaded and the

tying run on first base Stirling earned a strikeout to quell the home team’s threat.

Stirling would face trouble in the seventh after a leadoff hit came around to score on a stolen base and a one-out RBI single by Mat Molina to make the score 5-3. With the tying run at the plate Stirling induced a ground ball to Muehlich at third base. The junior started a game-ending double play.

Check aia365.org today to see what the Falcons first round matchup will be. With a win on Saturday the Falcons would advance to play in the round of 16, a 4 p.m., Tuesday game on the road.

BOULDER CREEKFor the first time in three

seasons the Jaguars baseball team will fail to make the postseason as Boulder Creek heads into today’s regular season finale at Mesa with a 5-7 mark in the month of April.

Overall the Jaguars will finish with a winning record for the fourth straight season (20-17).

SOFTBALLAfter winning only 13 games

combined over the previous three seasons this year’s Jaguars squad has tallied 16 wins heading into today’s regular season finale against Mesa. At 16-13 the Jaguars sat at No. 22 in the Division-I power rankings.

In recording their first winning season since 2009

the Jaguars had a chance to make the state tournament. Should they finish in the top 24 spots the Jaguars softball team will open the Division I state tournament at 10:15 a.m., Saturday. Should the Jaguars make the field they would open on the road. Check aia365.org today for the Division I state brackets.

At Cactus Shadows the Falcons went into Tuesday’s season finale against Paradise Valley looking to halt a five-game losing streak and avenge an earlier loss to the Trojans this season.

With a win the Falcons would have finished the season with a 9-19 record. Regardless of the outcome the team failed to qualify for the Division II state tournament.

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusCactus Shadows senior Cameron Ketchen is throw out at second base following a run down in the first inning. In an eventful game Ketchen also hit a 400-foot home run in the second inning before being ejected in the sixth inning. To view more photos from Monday’s game go facebook.com/thefoothills.focus.

THE fOOTHIllS fOCUS

Oblivion lacks creative endingDirector: Joseph KosinskiStarring: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, and Andrea Riseborough

There is something to be appreciated about a film that isn’t a sequel when the summer blockbuster season looms so close. However, it’s also more difficult to sell audiences when you don’t have the momentum of a franchise behind you. Oblivion, an adapted graphic novel by director Joseph Kosinski, is a visually well-designed science fiction mystery that begins with early promise but unfortunately falters with an unsurprising third act that feels over influenced by familiar material.

Earth’s moon is destroyed causing natural disasters after an invasive war, Earth won but not without consequence. The remaining landscape is an isolated wasteland. Jack

(Tom Cruise) is a technician for defensive equipment guarding the remaining resources of Earth and hunting aliens known as Scavengers. He is guided on daily objectives, given by an off planet company, and communicated by his partner Victoria (Andrea Riseborough); they are a team stationed high above Earth’s surface in a floating living station. Jack, though having his memory wiped, is having recollections of a past life that involves a woman named Julia (Olga Kurylenko). While on a repair mission Jack witnesses a vessel falling to Earth carrying a crew of hibernating bodies, one of whom is familiar to him.

Oblivion is director Joseph Kosinski’s second feature, his first being Tron: Legacy. Kosinski’s design of the isolated Earth is striking. The subtle use of visual effects to create a recognizable, though destroyed, landscape (the film was shot in Iceland) keeps the film supported within a realm of practicality instead of feeling overly manufactured. Jack cruises the desolated landscape in an imaginative hybrid plane/helicopter and a transforming dirt bike. The well-designed props and locations are further accommodated by a fantastic score, which is composed by M83. Unfortunately the great supporting elements are only assisted for a short time. The script introduces a mystery, and initially executes with potential, but as the secrets reveal the narrative crumbles under the

weight of its’ own creation. For those familiar with popular science fiction films you’ll probably notice that Oblivion pulls influence from numerous sources in the final act, a decision that distracts from the original ideas proposed early on in the film.

Cruise plays Jack with similar temperament to his past heroic roles; basically a likable yet lost individually trying to uncover a conspiracy while finding love, or some other emotion. Though Cruise is good in the simplistic role, it would be interesting to see a different spin on this recognizable character. The most interesting performance belongs with Riseborough’s character Victoria; she is a straight-laced, rigid woman counting down the days till retirement. Her characterization creates a vagueness in reference to her partnership with Jack and her ultimate motivations. Morgan Freeman makes the most of his miniscule appearance as Beech, the leader of a group of rebels still inhabiting Earth. His introduction in the film alone is welcome enough in the scheme of the narrative.

Oblivion is filled with inspiring designs and an evocative atmosphere, which works to present an intriguing introduction. As the mysteries unravel so does the film; familiarity sets in and the conclusion becomes too reminiscent of other, better films. Still, Kosinski’s ambition in creating a new work of science fiction is commendable, even if it’s not completely successful.

Sonoran Stars shine on preservation efforts

kYlEIGH ZmIJEWSkISPECIAl fOR THE fOOTHIllS fOCUS

The Desert Foothills Land Trust is having its 18th Annual “Sonoran Star” benefit from 5 – 9:30 p.m., on Saturday at the Los Cedros USA Equestrian Facility in Scottsdale.

The “Sonoran Star” Benefit will raise money for the Desert Foothills Land Trust.

The Desert Foothills Land Trust (DFLT) is a non-profit organization, which protects and preserves land in the foothills area north of Phoenix. According to the official DFLT website, land trusts work with landowners and the community to conserve land by accepting donations of land, purchasing land and negotiating conservation agreements on land.

The Desert Foothills Land Trust Executive Director Sonia Perillo stated, “Its mission is to raise money for maintaining and restoring reserved land.” This year’s benefit will go

towards the organization’s programs, Perillo said.

Perillo made a few changes to this year’s festivities, which include a new western themed band, a venue change and a cocktail hour.

Guests will be able to enjoy cocktails, an equestrian show courtesy of Los Cedros, dinner crafted by Tony Rae, a private releasing of a rehabilitated owl by the non-profit Wild At Heart, live and silent auctions; and a night of dancing to country western tunes performed by Rhythm f/x.

Tickets are $250 per person and valet is included in the event cost. Perillo said tickets are currently sold out, but a waiting list has been added for any last-minute cancellations. She is expecting about 425 guests.

Perillo said she chose the Los Cedros location to provide guests with an exciting new experience. Perillo said the venue offers a Moroccan citadel feel as well as offering a second option in case

of inclement weather. Attire for the benefit is casual

or western which ties into the equestrian theme of the venue.

When asked why she changed the venue, Perillo replied, “It was time to shake things up.”

Dinner and other entertainment will be hosted in the main courtyard. The silent auction will be held in the stables.

“The silent auction will offer giveaways and certificates, as well as art and jewelry donated by local artists,” Perillo said.

The live auction items available include a trip to Telluride, a New York trip during Fashion Week and a day in the kitchen with Kevin Binkley, owner of Binkley’s Restaurant in Cave Creek.

“It’s supporting a really great cause and the community has been really generous in supporting the event,” Perillo stated.

Cactus Shadows senior commits to Utah State

STAff REPORTCactus Shadows senior

Carly Lenzen signed a letter of intent to continue her volleyball career at Utah State University on Friday.

Lenzen, a four-year varsity player, helped the Falcons to three state tournament appearances including a trip to the finals as a freshman, a semifinal appearance as a sophomore and a quarterfinal appearance as a senior.

The 6-foot middle blocker, was one of five signees for Utah State volleyball head coach Grayson DuBose. The Aggies will make their debut in the Mountain West Conference for the 2013 season.

Lenzen earned honorable mention all-state accolades this season as well as second-team all-section honors after posting 73 total blocks (23 solo, 53 assists), averaging 0.7 blocks per set, highlighted by posting six blocks in two separate matches. Lenzen also registered a .309 attack percentage, posted 396 kills (3.7 per set), including a

season-high 25 kills in a match, one of three matches with 23 or more kills, as well as tallying 48 service aces (0.4 per set).

“The recurring theme we heard about Carly was that she always worked hard and liked to compete. We are excited about having her learn our system. Her high school coach is a former USU volleyball coach, Michelle Hansen Gardiner, so she has been prepped for this experience,” DuBose said.

The Aggies transfer to the Mountain West after winning the regular-season championship in their final season in the Western Athletic Conference a year ago. They will return four starters from a 21-9 squad, the second Aggies team to win at least 20 games in the last three seasons.

Lenzen will be part of a signing event at 6 p.m., May 15 at Cactus Shadows High School as she is expected to be joined by a few of her Falcons volleyball team- mates in accepting athletic scholarships.

Marc Buckhout/The Foothills FocusCactus Shadows senior Carly Lenzen will continue her volleyball career next season as a member of the Utah State Aggies.

There is a new set of rules that govern lawsuits in justice courts in Arizona. If you are a party to a case, and you don’t know the rules, the chances that your courthouse experience will not go well are fairly high.

The Justice Court Rules of Civil Procedure (JCRCP) are

a v a i l a b l e on line and follow the same basic format as the Arizona R u l e s of Civil Procedure. The JCRCP

generally do not make any “new law,” but they are much easier to read and are approximately 80 percent shorter than regular Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure.

Of note, the JCRCP do not apply to residential eviction actions; however, they would

apply to a lawsuit involving a former landlord and a former tenant for any unresolved issues (e.g. unpaid rent, damage to property, failing to return a security deposit, etc.).

The JCRCP are the work product of a committee appointed by the Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court. They were done with a view toward improving access to the court system for people who are representing themselves.

The proposed rules contain less legal jargon and define more terms. There was also an attempt to use shorter sentences and to use terms, like “lawsuit,” that everyone would immediately understand.

The committee had significant discussions on whether there should be additional requirements for plaintiffs seeking to collect consumer debts. Since these debts are often sold to a new

party, people often do not recognize the name of the company that has filed a lawsuit against them. The proposed rules require that these types of complaints include the identity of the original creditor.

The rules also require plaintiffs, who are attempting to collect a consumer debt, to provide to the defendant, before the pre-trial conference, a copy of the contract (e.g. credit card agreement), if it exists, a copy of any available billing statements, and the date the last payment was made. If the debt has been assigned to another company, then the plaintiff must provide evidence that they own it.

For attorneys, there are four significant changes. First, all of the rule numbers changed. For example, the rule that governs motions for summary judgment is JCRCP 129, as opposed to Arizona Rule of Civil Procedure 56.

Second, the motions now have required warning language. For example, part of the required warning reads, “The court may treat your failure to respond to a motion as your consent that the motion be granted.”

Third, plaintiffs are now required to serve a “Notice to the Defendant” document along with the summons and complaint. This document explains the court process to defendants. In addition, JCRCP 112(d) states that a “court may not grant a default judgment against a defendant unless” the defendant has been provided a copy of the “Notice to the Defendant” handout.

Fourth, the rules for Requests for Admissions changed. A party to a lawsuit sends a Request for Admissions to the other side in an attempt to get them to admit to various factual statements so that the scope of the lawsuit can be narrowed.

The general rule is that if someone does not respond to a Request for Admissions, then everything is deemed admitted. The committee felt that this result was too harsh and often resulted in self represented litigants losing their “day in court.” Consequently, JCRCP 126 now requires a “second notice” before statements in a Request for Admissions, that are ignored, can be adopted as being true.

I had the genuine honor of serving on the Committee on Civil Rules of Procedure for Limited Jurisdiction Courts. The committee members did not always agree on everything; but we did product a set of rules that will clearly make the judicial branch better.

New set of rules govern lawsuits in Justice Courts

Baseball commissioner also played part in Robinson storyThere’s a hit new movie this

spring, “42,” the story of how in 1947 Jack Roosevelt Robinson made baseball history and American history by breaking

the color barrier to become a B r o o k l y n Dodger and the first black man to play in the Major Leagues.

It is also the story of Branch Rickey, the general manager of the Dodgers, who in his lonely commitment to desegregate baseball, chose Robinson, a star in four sports — football, basketball, track and baseball — at UCLA before entering the Army and being commissioned a second lieutenant. Rickey believed, rightly, that Jackie Robinson had the courageous self-discipline required to endure the hate, hostility and isolation that awaited him in the grandstands, locker rooms, restaurants and hotels of pre-civil-rights America.

But one American hero gets short shrift in this good new movie. His name: Albert B.

“Happy” Chandler. A native of Corydon, Ky., veteran of World War I and a graduate of his home state university’s law school, he was a rising political star — a state senator at 32, lieutenant governor at 33, governor at 37 and U.S. senator at 41.

Happy Chandler left the U.S. Senate in 1945, when the owners of the then-16 Major League teams elected him to be commissioner of baseball. The game had been lily-white for eight decades, and when the owners later met for two hours in secret at New York’s Waldorf Astoria to deal with Branch Rickey’s unwelcome push to integrate the game, they voted 15-1 against Rickey and for continued racial segregation. Nobody much expected Chandler, a self-described “Confederate” who had governed a state where the races were by law separated, to rock the boat.

But that is exactly what the commissioner did. As he later explained his decision to overturn the owners’ vote and allow Jackie Robinson to play for Brooklyn, “I’d have to meet my Maker some day, and if He

asked me why I didn’t let this boy play, and I said, ‘Because he was black,’ that might not be a satisfactory answer.” Chandler went on: “I just decided it (excluding African-Americans from the sport) wasn’t just. It wasn’t decent. It wasn’t fair, and I was going to end it.”

Of Jackie Robinson, Chandler said: “He had a chip on his shoulder, and I don’t blame him for that because he thought everybody was against him, and nearly everybody was.”

How good a politician was Happy Chandler? In American history, there have been nine different governors who, when presented with a vacant U.S. Senate seat to be filled, have gone through the scripted ritual of resigning as governor in order to have the “new” governor then appoint him (all nine were men) to the U.S. Senate. Not surprisingly, voters dislike this charade, and eight of the nine governors who arranged their own Senate appointments have been defeated in the next election. The only exception: Gov. Happy Chandler, who in 1939 effectively had himself appointed to the

Senate and went on to win Kentucky Senate elections in 1940 and 1942.

So Chandler understood the risk he was taking by ignoring the owners and by welcoming Jackie Robinson to baseball. He was fired by the owners in 1950, but Don Newcombe, the great Dodgers pitcher, would speak eloquently of when Chandler had stood up for blacks, including Robinson,

Roy Campanella and himself: “Happy Chandler cared when it wasn’t fashionable to give a damn about black baseball players.”

How about that, sports fans? A successful politician who was a genuine American hero.

Please consider giving Pearl a forever home-one that can provide the exercise she requires and the additional training a young dog needs.
