From West Point to Woke

Area native challenges students at Georgia high school
to read about underrepresented issues, people

Cicely Lewis is surrounded by titles she had chosen for her “Read Woke” program at Meadowcreek High School near Atlanta.
The West Point native started the program in 2017 and since then, it has been adopted in schools and libraries in the U.S.,
Canada, the United Kingdom and Norway.

A
movement can start in the least
likely of places.
“Read Woke” is such a move-
ment, a program that started in a school
library in Georgia three years ago and is
now being implemented in schools and
libraries in the U.S., Canada, the United
Kingdom and Norway.
“Read Woke” is designed not only to
encourage teens to read, but to empow-
er them to become involved citizens
by exposing them to relevant, topical
literature students can relate to in their
own lives.
Over the past three years, thousands
of students have participated in the
“Read Woke Challenge,” reading a list
information about a group that has been
disenfranchised, challenge the status
quo or have a protagonist from an un-
derrepresented or oppressed group.
Knowledge is power, and the source
of knowledge is most often found
through reading.
A long awakening
Technically, “Read Woke” began in
2017 when Cicely Lewis, a librarian at
Meadowcreek High School, a large high
school near Atlanta where 97 percent of
its students are minorities, was stirred
to action by the events of the day that
had serious implications for her stu-
dents.
African Americans, threats to the DACA
program and broad-scale deportation of
undocumented Hispanics living in the
U.S. At a high school where 70 percent
of the students are Hispanic and 25 per-
cent black, these issues weren’t abstrac-
tions. They were serious issues affect-
ing the lives of many of her students.
Lewis decided to do something about
that.
Yet in another sense, the origins of
“Read Woke” began much earlier and by
another person.
Dorothy Bell was a single mother
of four girls in West Point. She loved to
read and understood the importance of
education.

The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Rachel
Whalen remembers feeling
gutted in high school when
a former friend would mock
her online postings, threat-
en to unfollow or unfriend
her on social media and post
inside jokes about her to oth-
ers online.
The cyberbullying was
so distressing that Whalen
said she contemplated sui-
cide. Once she got help, she
decided to limit her time on
social media. It helps to take
a break from it for perspec-
tive, said Whalen, now a
19-year-old college student
in Utah.
There’s a rise in cyber-
bullying nationwide, with
three times as many girls
reporting being harassed
online or by text message
than boys, according to the
National Center for Educa-
tion Statistics.
The U.S. Department
of Education’s research
and data arm this month
released its latest survey,
which shows an uptick in on-

all number of students who
report being bullied stayed
the same.
“There’s just some pres-
sure in that competitive at-
mosphere that is all about at-
tention,” Whalen said. “This
social media acceptance
— it just makes sense to me
that it’s more predominant
amongst girls.”
Many school systems
that once had a hands-off
approach to dealing with
off-campus student behav-
ior are now making rules
around cyberbullying, out-
lining punishments such as
suspension or expulsion,
according to Bryan Joffe,
director of education and
youth development at AASA,
a national school superinten-
dents association.
That change partly came
along with broader cyber-
bullying laws, which have
been adopted in states like
Texas and California in re-
cent years.
The survey showed
about 20 percent, or one in
five students, reported be-
ing bullied, ranging from
rumors or being excluded
to threats and physical at-
tacks in the 2016-17 school
year. That’s unchanged from
the previous survey done in
2014-15.
But in that two-year span,
cyberbullying reports in-
creased significantly, from
11.5 percent to 15.3 percent.

Photo of armed students at
Emmett Till sign is investigated
Historic marker, where 14-year-old Emmett Till’s
body was recovered, is the third to stand after
two earlier ones were destroyed by vandals
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
A photograph of three Univer-
sity of Mississippi students posing
with guns beside a bullet-pocked
and oft-vandalized historic marker
to lynching victim Emmett Till has
sparked a possible federal investi-
gation and suspensions of the three
by their fraternity.
The Mississippi Center for In-
vestigative Reporting first pub-
lished a story about it Thursday,
saying the image had circulated on
the men’s social media accounts.
Ole Miss spokesman Rod Gua-
jardo said the image was reported
in March to the university’s Bias
Incident Response Team, which
takes reports of incidents where
students, faculty or staff are target-
ed because of their race or other
characteristics. Guajardo said uni-
versity police asked the FBI to in-
vestigate, but says the FBI declined
to open an inquiry because the pho-
to “did not pose a specific threat.”
Brett Carr, a spokesman for the
FBI’s Jackson office, declined to
comment Thursday.
However, U.S. Attorney Chad
Lamar told the Mississippi Center
for Investigative Reporting that
federal prosecutors are examining
the case. Lamar did not respond
to repeated emails and phone calls
from The Associated Press seeking
comment.
Guajardo called the image “of-
fensive and hurtful” but said the
university hasn’t disciplined the
students because the off-campus
picture wasn’t part of a university
event.
Jesse Lyons, assistant executive
director of the Kappa Alpha Or-
der’s national office in Lexington,
Virginia, said the Ole Miss chapter
suspended the three men pictured
after leaders learned of the photo
Tuesday. The fraternity has long
been associated with Old South and
Confederate imagery. Although
much of that imagery has been sup-
pressed in recent years, the group
still claims Confederate Robert E.
Lee as its spiritual founder. Lyons
said that history has nothing to do
with the photo.
“The making of the photo was
unrelated to any event or activity of
the chapter. It is inappropriate, in-
sensitive, and unacceptable. It does
not represent our Kappa Alpha Or-
der,” Lyons wrote in an email.
The fraternity and university say
they’re working together. Guajardo
said Ole Miss is “ready to assist the
fraternity with educational oppor-
tunities for those members and the
chapter.”
It’s unclear whether the stu-
dents actually fired at the sign
or when the picture was taken. It
shows two students standing with
guns and a third unarmed student
kneeling in tall grass at night, lit by
what appear to be the headlights of
a vehicle. It’s unclear who took the
photograph.
The image strikes at what re-
mains one of the nation’s most
wrenching civil rights cases, de-
cades after Till was slain in 1955.
The African American 14-year-old
was visiting relatives in the Missis-
sippi Delta when he was kidnapped
from a relative’s home after an
encounter with a white woman at
a country store. He was tortured
and later shot, with his body found
weighted down by a cotton gin fan
in the Tallahatchie River. His moth-
er insisted on an open-casket funer-
al in Chicago, letting people see her
son’s mutilated corpse and electri-
fying public opinion.
An all-white jury in Mississip-
pi acquitted two white men in the
crime.
Like Till himself, the markers
placed by the Emmett Till Memori-
al Commission have been shattered
by violence. The marker in the pho-
tograph, at the remote spot where
Till’s body was recovered, was the
third to stand there after two earli-
er markers were destroyed by van-
dals.

Voice of the people
Response to kratom letter
This is in response to a letter pub-
lished in The Commercial Dispatch
on July 25, 2019. It was stated that
what Columbus, Lowndes County and
Caledonia did “created criminals out
of peace loving citizens with the stroke
of their pen.” What was done was to
protect the health, safety, and welfare
of their citizens. We applaud each one
of these governmental bodies for doing
the right thing. The evidence is over-
whelming that kratom is dangerous
and destructive. It is highly addictive
and is destroying lives and families.
In an FDA Brief Released on Febru-
ary 26, 2018, FDA Commissioner Scott
Gottlieb M.D. stated, “Kratom is not a
safe, benign plant. Data continues to
provide strong evidence that kratom
compounds are opioids with potential
for addiction and abuse. At a time when
we face an opioid epidemic of devastat-
ing proportions, manufacturers should
not be allowed to mislead consumers
into believing kratom products are a
‘safe’ alternative to prescription opioids
or that kratom is effective therapy for
opioid use disorder.”
In June of 2019 Gulf Coast HIDTA

lated drug there is no oversight in its
preparation, concentration, distribu-
tion, or quality control. This can have

A Pennsylvania school

bills that their children
could end up in foster care,
and then rejected a busi-
nessman’s offer to pay the
overdue charges, is apolo-

accept the donation after
all.
The Wyoming Valley
West school board “sin-
cerely apologizes for the
tone of the letter that was
sent regarding lunch debt,”
the post on the district’s
website Wednesday said.
“It wasn’t the intention
of the district to harm or
inconvenience any of the
families in our school dis-

The board also said that
it would take a donation
from Todd Carmichael,

$22,000 in overdue bills,
and that it would funnel
the money through the dis-

‘Read Woke’
Continued from Page 1A
“I didn’t have a lot of money and
there weren’t a lot of things to do
in West Point,” Bell said. “I loved
going to the library. I figured if I
loved it, the girls would, too.”
For Bell and her daughters, the
Bryan Public Library became their
main source of entertainment.
“I’d take the whole neighbor-
hood — my girls, cousins and niec-
es,” Bell recalled. “Every summer,
we went to the summer reading
program. Every Saturday, we went
to the library. That was just what
we did.”
All of her girls liked to read,
Bell said, and this was particularly
true of her second daughter, who
everyone called “Cissy.”
“I remember one Christmas, I
decided to get them all books for
Christmas instead of toys,” Bell
said. “They all cried and cried, all
except for Cicely. She loved it. All
my girls liked to read. Cicely loved
to read.”
Dorothy began to notice not only
Cicely’s passion for reading but her
determination.
“I came home one day when
Cicely was in the sixth grade and
she was crying because she had
one grade that kept her from being
on the honor roll,” Bell said. “I told
her, ‘If that’s your goal you have to
work real hard, do all your home-
work, study. You have to do the
work. That’s the only way.’
“And that’s what she did,” Bell
added. “She made honor roll every
semester for the rest of her school
years after that.”
‘I couldn’t put it down’
For most of her childhood in
West Point, Lewis read whatever
she could get her hands on. But it
wasn’t until she was rooting around
surreptitiously in her sister’s room
for something to wear (“She was
working and had money for nicer
clothes,” Lewis said) that she dis-
covered a book that would serve as
a part of her own “Woke” journey.
“I found ‘Black Boy’ by Richard
Wright in my sister’s things and
I couldn’t put it down,” Lewis re-
called. “It changed my life. He was
bold. He was thirsty for knowledge
despite his impoverished child-
hood.”
For the first time, Lewis had en-
countered someone in her reading
she could relate to.
The search for other books that
reflected her own experience as a
black person continued when she
arrived at the University of South-
ern Mississippi where she studied
to be a teacher.
“I signed up for African-Amer-
ican Literature, and I remember
being shocked when my professor
walked in and she was a white
woman,” Lewis said. “She intro-
duced me to so many amazing texts
and she handled the literature with
such care and integrity. She truly
changed my reading experience.”
That professor was Genevieve
White, a Starkville native who is
now a professor at Texas Wom-
an’s University in Denton, Texas.
Although it’s been almost 20 years
since Lewis sat in her class, West
remembers her fondly.
“I remember Cicely as smart,
perceptive and hungry for knowl-
edge,” West recalled. “She thought
deeply about the literature and
what it could teach us about our
nation and ourselves. The class was
an African-American Literature
course, but you can’t talk about the
literature without also discussing
history and culture.
“Like most of my students,
(Lewis) had not had access to the

Cicely Lewis, a librarian at Mead-
owcreek High School near Atlanta,
introduces students to the “Read
Woke” program she established at
the school in 2017. Lewis, a West
Point native, started the program
to expose students to literature
that addresses real-life issues her
students face.
Lewis chose the following
books for her first “Read Woke
Challenge” program in 2017:
■ “All American Boys” by Jason Reyn-
olds and Brenden Kiely
■ “Dear Martin” by Nic Stone
■ “Girl Mans Up” by M-E Girard
■ “The Hate You Give” by Angie
Thomas
■ “Hunger” by Roxane Gay
■ “I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood
Up for Education and Was Shot by the
Taliban” by Malala Yousafzai
■ “Juliet Takes a Breath” by Gabby
Rivera
■ “The Librarian of Auschwitz” by
Antonio Iturbe
■ “I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican
Daughter” by Erika Sánchez
■ “Sugar” by Deirdre Riordan Hall
■ “The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarcer-
ation in the Age of Colorblindness” by
Michelle Alexander
■ “Turtles All the Way Down” by John
Green
■ “Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your
Ass” by Meg Medina
wealth of African-American litera-
ture in high school,” she added. “I
had not, either. It was my privilege
to change that.”
Off to Atlanta
After graduation, Lewis was
hired as a Language Arts and Span-
ish teacher at Meadowcreek.
It was there, as she formed rela-
tionships with her students, Lewis
began to think about how she could
help students understand the larg-
er world around them.
“Every day, I would turn on the
TV and witness some act of social
injustice, from Trayvon Martin
being killed to bathroom rights of
transgender people being chal-
lenged to travel rights of Muslims
being banned. Injustices were
everywhere,” Lewis said. “I would
come to school and talk to my
students, and many of them had
opinions (about what was happen-
ing), but not much knowledge. That
made me more determined than
ever to educate my students and
make them more woke.”
To achieve that, Lewis left the
classroom for the library, attending
Georgia Southern to get her library
sciences degree. In that new role,
she began building a collection of
relevant literature, scouring the in-
ternet and social media looking for
authors and titles that told the in-
timate, personal stories of real-life
relevance for her students.
Every year, Lewis had a themed
reading program — Harry Potter
was the theme one year. “Hit a
Grand Slam Reading” was another.
By 2017, those themes seemed
trivial.
“With our current political
climate, I knew a cheesy theme
would not suffice,” Lewis said “I
had to address the issues but still
remain open to serve the needs of
all of my patrons.”
One day, she happened upon a
copy of Essence magazine whose
cover story featured prominent
black women who were “woke” to
fight against social injustice. They
were all wearing, “Stay Woke”
T-shirts in the magazine photos.
In an instant, Lewis had her
reading program theme: “Stay
Woke.”
It quickly became a phenom-
enon at the school as students
poured into the program. Reading
test scores took off. Circulation of
the library books soared. Students
stopped Lewis in hallways, eager
to discuss the books they were
reading or ask for more reading
suggestions. Students eagerly com-
pleted the “Read Woke Challenge,”
earning prizes, including a coveted
“Read Woke” T-Shirt.
“Read Woke” spilled beyond
the Meadowcreek campus to other
cities and across borders and now
an ocean.
“It took my breath away,” Bell
said. “I said, ‘Cicely, this is like a
miracle.’”
‘They need a light’
The literature offered in the
“Read Woke” pulls no punches.
Lewis said she is careful not to
present her own views on the
issues. But she does want students
to have access to the material to
form their own opinions.
Lewis’ program is not geared
entirely to broad issues, but to
personal issues, too.
Bell said that’s especially im-
portant.
“I think so many of these books
help kids see that they are not
alone,” Bell said. “All teenagers
go through the same things, to a
certain point. They need a light. I
told Cicely she was a light for those
kids.”
For Lewis, the light she helps
provide was not there in her own
childhood.
“I wish that I could have had
more exposure to diverse texts in
school,” she said. “Growing up as a
girl with a father in prison, it would
have been nice to read about other
kids like me. I was so ashamed that
my father was in prison and that he
had been addicted to drugs.
“Now, I read books all the time
about kids facing the same issues
and I know (those books) would
have helped me cope,” she added.
“I’m just now coming to terms with
it.”
Some issues, Lewis said, defy
labels and are part of the universal
human condition.
“Many people only think of race
when they think of diversity,” Lew-
is said. “There are so many issues
that make our students diverse.”
Above all, Lewis said, education
remains the greatest tool a child
will ever have.
“I have realized that educa-
tion is the great connector,” she
said. “It is the only way to escape
poverty and the only way to battle
racism, sexism and all the other
‘isms’ that affect our society.”
Lewis’ old professor is thor-
oughly impressed.
“She is obviously having a
tremendously positive impact,
both in the community and across
the globe,” West said. “ She is not
only helping them find their own
answers to questions, but she is
also turning them into life-long
readers.”

Clemson confident
drug suspensions
were outlier
‘We’ve always looked at a really
robust and fundamentally
sound drug-testing program.’
Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich

The Associated Press

CLEMSON, S.C. — Clem-

son officials are confident the
athletic department’s practic-
es and policies will prevent
a repeat of the failed perfor-
mance-enhancing drug tests
that caused three players to be
suspended before last season’s
College Football Playoff. Radakovich
The Tigers were riding into
a fourth straight CFP appearance when they
were hit with the news in December that star
defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, reserve
offensive lineman Zach Giella and freshman
tight end Braden Galloway had tested positive
for the banned substance ostarine.
Lawrence missed both his team’s semifinal
and championship wins on the way to their
second national title in three years. In the sev-
en months since the ban, Clemson has double
and triple checked how it handles everything
from talc in the weight room to the protein
shakes it provides to ensure the wrong things
won’t cost players time on the field.
“We’ve always looked at a really robust and
fundamentally sound drug-testing program,”
Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich
said. “We’ve always looked at how we get our
supplements into our students’ hands.”
The department’s review came through
the NCA A appeal led by Lawrence, Giella and
Galloway, who were subject to a one-year ban
for the positive tests. The NCA A rejected the
players’ appeal this past spring. All three have
said they had no idea how ostarine got into
their systems.
Coach Dabo Swinney has said the Tigers
have a track record of doing things clean.
Clemson’s athletic department said it had ad-
ministered 329 test for performance-enhanc-
ing drugs since 2014 and all had come back
clean except for those of Lawrence, Giella and
Galloway last December.
Any supplement used is first reviewed by
Clemson sports medicine and nutrition de-
partments along with its NCA A compliance
office before getting approved for us by ath-
letes.
Clemson athletic spokesman Jeff Kallin
said the Family Educational Rights & Privacy
Act prevents the school from discussing the
appeal. Kallin said the athletes asked Clem-
son not to comment about what went into its
NCA A appeal.
Lawrence, an all-Atlantic Coast Confer-
ence lineman, g ave up his final season to turn
pro and was drafted 17th overall by the New
York Giants.
Giella was a graduate who had used three
of his four years of eligibility so he is no longer
part of the program.
The lone loss this season is Galloway, a
promising, 6-foot-4 sophomore who figured to
compete for a starting spot this fall. Galloway
will practice this season and could return in
time for a late December bowl game, Swinney
said. NCA A rules say a player is suspended
for a calendar year after a positive test. The
three were tested after the Clemson’s win in
the ACC title game in early December.
“If we’re fortunate enough to be in a high
level postseason game that’s after the middle
of December” Galloway would be eligible,
Swinney said. “If we’re playing early in De-
cember we probably didn’t have a very good
year. But he would have the opportunity, I
think, to be back for that.”

BASKETBALL: WNBA
WNBA to experiment with 20-second shot clock at All-Star
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — The WNBA is
adding a few experimental rules to
the All-Star Game on Saturday.
The teams will play with a
20-second shot clock instead of the
usual 24. The shorter shot clock
shouldn’t be a major issue because
it’s an All-Star Game and the pace
of play is extremely quick to begin
with. The league also is adding a
hockey-style live substitution rule.
Each team will be allowed once per
quarter to have a player sub in on
offense. The substitution may only
be made by the team on offense and
a player can’t substitute for the per-
son holding the ball. There will be a
check-in spot near midcourt on the
sideline where the player check-
ing into the game must stand. The
player leaving the court my tag the
player coming in to prevent more
than five players being on the court
at any time.
There will still be normal substi-
tutions during game stoppages.
This isn’t the first time that the
league has done experimental
things in the All-Star Game. The
WNBA used a referee’s camera in
the 2013 game, which had debuted
a month earlier in a regular-sea-
son contest. The league also had
a camera on the court during free
throws in another All-Star contest.
The league will look for feedback
from the players and coaches in the
game to get their feelings on the
shorter shot clock and the substitu-
tion rule.
The league held a live draft of
the All-Star teams on Tuesday night
and had the first trades in All-Star
Game history with the two coaches
trading teams as well as Team Delle
Donne trading Napheesa Collier to
Team Wilson for Tina Charles. Cap-
tain Elena Delle Donne said she
wanted to make the deal to let Col-
lier play with her Minnesota Lynx
teammates.

Sky’s Quigley will try for
3-point shootout three-
peat
LAS VEGAS — Allie
Quigley of the Chicago
Sky will try to three-peat
as champion of the 3-point
contest Friday night ahead
of the WNBA All-Star
Game.
Quigley set the WNBA
record in Minnesota last
year when she scored 29
points in the overtime
round of the competition.
Her total surpassed that
of NBA shooting guard
Devin Booker of the Phoe-
nix Suns, who poured in
28 of a possible 34 points
during the February 2018
NBA All-Star Game to set
the record for most points
scored in a single round.
Quigley also won in 2017.
Last season’s run-
ner-up, Kayla McBride, is
back in the competition
and will have the home Las
Vegas Aces’ crowd behind
her. Joining the two guards
in the contest are Los An-
geles’ Chelsea Gray, New
York’s Kia Nurse, Indi-
ana’s Erica Wheeler and
Connecticut’s Shekinna
Stricklen. Stricklen is the
only one of the six not play-
ing in the All-Star Game.
Brittney Griner head-
lines the skills challenge,
a head-to-head, brack-
et-style tournament. The
Phoenix Mercury center
will compete against Chi-
cago’s Diamond DeShields
and Courtney Vandersloot,
Minnesota’s Napheesa
Collier and Odyssey Sims,
Connecticut’s Jonquel
Jones, Seattle’s Sami Whit-
comb and Atlanta’s Eliza-
beth Williams.
The three-round event
features two players com-
peting simultaneously on
identical obstacle cours-
es that test ball handling,
passing, agility and 3-point
shooting skills. The fastest
finisher in each match-
up advances to the next
round. First-round match-
ups have yet to be deter-
mined.
This is the first time the
league has had the Friday
night competitions. The
WNBA will also have a fan
festival as well as a beach
concert after the competi-
tions are done.
Teyana Taylor will
perform at halftime of
Saturday’s game. Kristin
Chenoweth will sign the

and senior utility player
Fa Leilua. Davidson was
tied for the SEC lead in
home runs with 26 and
also drove in 64 runs
while recording a slash
line of .373/.476/.882.
Meanwhile, Leilua pro-

ER A (3.36), leading the
Bulldogs finishing next-
to-last in the SEC at 35-
23 overall and 9-15 in
league play.
Nonetheless, the
Bulldogs qualified for
a regional, along with
every other team in the
SEC, partly due to the
strength of the league.
MSU’s season came to
an end in a regional final
loss to Washington.
“It’s the strongest
league in the country
from top to bottom. My
vision is that we continue
to be a postseason team,
and that we take the next
step and host a regional
and make it to a Super
Regional,” Ricketts said.
“It’s a goal for us we hope
to reach within the next
few years.”
Ricketts was a stand-
out player at Oklahoma
from 2006-2009, earning
first-team All-Big 12 hon-
ors all four years. Her sis-
ters, Stephanie and Kei-
lani, each had successful
collegiate careers of
their own at Hawaii and
Oklahoma, respectively.
“I didn’t have a full
realization of what the
Ricketts name means
in college softball from
coast-to-coast,” MSU
Athletic Director John
Cohen said.

The series has built-in
contingency awards, too:
a $100 goes to the fast
qualifier at each race; the
14th-place finisher gets
five gallons of race fuel;
and the “hard luck” driver
gets $50.
“Everything we make
goes right back to the rac-
ers,” Paul said.
Paul said that, after
racing in every division,
including Late Models,
he grew tired of seeing
people spend exorbitant
amounts of money “to
run for $1,200.” It was a
far cry from his humble
beginnings, when he and
two friends bought their
first racecar for $15, then
a $100 for a car with a 327
motor in it.
His racing career saw
him land in Circle Track
Magazine in 1997 for
winning a bounty. But
with prices soaring, and
as Scooter began to race
in the mid-2000s, Paul
stepped away from driv-
ing.
“I had some pretty
good sponsors running
Late Models, but I wasn’t
having fun,” Paul said. “I
like taking junk, making
it myself and winning
with it. I get more accom-
plishment from that.”
Rod Taylor, promoter
of Columbus Speedway,
said the series has poten-
tial to grow beyond the
four tracks on the sched-
ule because of Paul lead-
ing it.
“Paul and his wife (Su-
san) work their tails off
to make that series go,”
Taylor said. “That divi-
sion, with the way it was
growing, needed a series
like this.”

Tight ends coach Dan-

way, who caught a TD
pass in his first college
game last September,
was devastated after los-
ing the appeal. Pearman
let the disappointed Gal-
loway vent a bit about the
issue when they talked,
then challenged him to
stay engaged with the
team knowing he had two
more seasons of college
football ahead.
“Sometimes it isn’t fair,
but how do you deal with
it? Do you cry over spilled
milk or ‘Woe is me?’”
Pearman said. “That
hasn’t been his style at
all. He’s not necessarily
embraced (missing the
year), but he’s learning to
deal with it every day and
making the best of it.”
The Tigers list fourth-
year junior J.C. Chalk
as the starting tight end
heading into summer
training camp. Chalk had
four catches for 40 yards
in his career.
Radakovich sees last
year’s failed tests as a
rare breakdown and not
a signal that the depart-
ment’s process needed an
overhaul. “This was such
an outlier, I don’t know”
if there were any lessons
the school could take out
of it that weren’t already
in place, he said.

Continued from Page 1B
with a relay throw home on
Mike Trout’s two-run double
that tied it at 8. The play was re-
viewed and the out call upheld
— just after 4 a.m. at the replay
center in New York.
Villar then connected off
Griffin Canning (3-6), the An-
gels’ 10th pitcher and their
scheduled starter for Friday’s
game before this series opener
spiraled into a mess that lasted
6 hours, 19 minutes.
Both teams blew multi-run
leads, and the Angels came
within a desperate tag of walk-
ing off on Trout’s bases-loaded
double off Tanner Scott (1-0).
David Fletcher tried to score
from first, but was called out on
a bang-bang play at the plate.
Instead, Villar hit the latest
go-ahead homer in Orioles his-
tory off Canning, who yielded
five runs in two innings.
The last-place Orioles rallied
from a late two-run deficit and
eventually snapped the Angels’
four-game winning streak, with
the final out recorded just be-
fore 1:30 a.m.
Three hours earlier, the
Angels were up 4-2 heading to
the eighth after Kole Calhoun’s
three-run double. Trey Mancini
put Baltimore up 5-4 with a ho-
mer in the ninth before Brian
Goodwin tied it in the bottom
half with a one-out homer of his
own.
CARDINALS 6, PIRATES 3
PITTSBURGH — Paul Gold-
schmidt homered in his ca-
reer-high fourth straight game,
helping the Cardinals finish a
four-game sweep of the Pirates.
St. Louis (55-47) won for the
eighth time in nine games to
move into a tie with the idle Chi-
cago Cubs atop the NL Central.
Goldschmidt drove in nine
runs and had four of the Cardi-
nals’ 12 home runs during the
sweep.
Kolten Wong and Dexter
Fowler also connected for St.
Louis. Miles Mikolas (7-10) al-
lowed three runs in six innings.
Pittsburgh has dropped 11
of 13. Pirates right-hander Joe
Musgrove (7-9) was charged
with five earned runs in five in-
nings.
INDIANS 5, ROYALS 4,
14 INNINGS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jose
Ramirez homered in the 14th
inning, and the Indians edged
the Royals in a game that lasted
almost five hours and finished
after midnight.
Jake Bauers singled home Ja-
son Kipnis in the 14th off Brian
Flynn (2-2) to add an insurance
run — and Cleveland needed it.
A.J. Cole earned his first save
since May 15, 2015, in his sec-
ond major league appearance.
After allowing the first three
batters to reach, Cole retired the
next three in order, striking out
Bubba Starling to end the game.
Kansas City got one run in
the 14th on Jorge Soler’s sacri-
fice fly.
Francisco Lindor homered
for the Indians, who remained
two games behind AL Cen-
tral-leading Minnesota. Nick
Goody (2-0) threw two scoreless
innings for the win.
ROCKIES 8, NATIONALS 7
WASHINGTON — Wash-
ington ace Max Scherzer lasted
five innings in his return from
the injured list, and the Rockies
beat the Nationals in a battle of
worn-out bullpens.
Ian Desmond led off the
ninth with a homer off 42-year-
old Fernando Rodney (0-4),
who pitched in both games of
Wednesday’s doubleheader.
Rodney then walked Charlie
Blackmon, who advanced on a
wild pitch and a single by David
Dahl, and Daniel Murphy drove
in Blackmon with a groundout.
Murphy homered and
scored three times for the
Rockies, who won for just the
fourth time in their past 20
games. Jairo Diaz (3-2) got the
win, and Wade Davis earned
his 15th save.
Anthony Rendon hit a three-
run drive for Washington,
which wasted a chance to gain
ground on first-place Atlanta in
the NL East.
Scherzer had been sidelined
by inflammation under his right
shoulder. He struggled with his
command at times in his first
start since July 6.

CANDORVILLE Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July
26). Your charisma is conta-
gious, your laughter infectious,
and this solar journey’s theme
is the fun that happens wher-
ever you go. You connect with
people on the most random
and seemingly small things, but
it turns into something more.
Don’t rush to make goals.
Research; play; and relax until
you feel moved to act. Gemini
and Aquarius adore you. Your
BABY BLUES lucky numbers are: 4, 30, 50,
12 and 7.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
No one is the same person af-
ter a week of living. The chang-
es may be subtle, but subtleties
add up. No matter how long or
thoroughly you know a person,
you still have to do updates.
TAURUS (April 20-May
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
20). If you’re not a professional
storyteller, a story doesn’t have
to have an ending to be worth
telling. In fact, your friends and
fans want the play-by-play. They
want to be in on it and waiting
along with you to see what
happens.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
When people are in your territo-
ry, you can’t totally relax. It’s not
a problem if you’re supposed to
be alert, as is the case at work
or in a certain social context.
But everyone needs a place
to totally unwind. Claim your
space.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Thinking there is only one right
answer, person, way of doing
things, etc., is a great way to
put too much pressure on the
situation and watch it eventually
implode. Open it up. There are
many right options.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Wish
lists are fun. Go on and make
yours. Then expand it to include
every requirement you have
of life. You’ll find that some
of these are a bit much, but
realizing this lets you laugh at
yourself, let go and heal a little.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You’re not one to keep tabs on
every little interaction, but you
do have a good general sense
of when you’re helping someone
and when the person is helping
you. It helps you maintain
a healthy, pleasant social
balance.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Even though at times you’ve felt
like a pawn in someone else’s
game of life, you’ve always been
a royal in your own. And you
can keep it that way even while
serving someone today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Don’t wait for a storm
warning to create your emotion-
al shelter. Protection is part of
every beautiful life. The same
storms capable of terrible
destruction are things of maj-
esty to those watching from the
safety of shelter.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You’ve been known to
leave your heart with various
people in various places. Like
a smartphone, your heart has
a decent location system. If
necessary, you can locate and
promptly retrieve it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Justice wins in the end,
right? You want to believe this,
and yet it would be wrong to
relax in good faith that life does,
too. As a crusader for justice,
it’s your responsibility to guide
it along.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Stars favor you slipping
into project management mode.
Write down all that needs doing.
Sort it. Then schedule it. The
happiest part of your day will
be the moment right after this
planning session.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Your story isn’t a static
piece of history. Like all of
history, the tales get rewritten
as distance and context evolve.
Whichever way you frame your
past, others will see it the same
way you do.
