sounded across northern Israel, and a military ofﬁcial said two Iranian missiles were intercepted. Trump told reporters at the White House before departing for a NATO summit that, in his view, both sides had violated the nascent agreement. He had particularly strong words for Israel, a close ally, while suggesting Iran may have ﬁred on the country by mistake.

Murrill files 3 lawsuits against CVS Attorney general alleges ‘unfair and deceptive acts’ in text campaign

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill, backed by Gov. Jeff Landry, said Tuesday she had filed three different lawsuits against CVS, claiming the company used its position as both a major pharmacy chain and a pharmacy benefit manager to abuse its market power and accusing it of “unethical and deceptive acts” in its use of customer data for political lobbying. The three lawsuits filed in the 27th Judicial District Court Murrill in St. Landry Parish “detail in great length all of the ways that these manipulative tactics are used to drive our prices up Landry and to drive the independent pharmacists out of business,” Murrill said at a news conference announcing the court action on Tuesday. Landry at the media event called pharmacy benefit managers “corporate profiteers” that don’t lower prescription drug prices despite claiming to do so. In a statement, CVS denied wrongdoing and said its system of PBMs and pharmacies helps make it easier for patients to afford and pick up their medicine.

Firefighters battle wildfire on Greek island of Chios

ATHENS, Greece — Hundreds of firefighters backed up by aircraft were battling a wildfire burning out of control for the third day on the eastern Aegean island of Chios Tuesday, with authorities issuing multiple evacuation orders. Towering walls of flames tore through forest and agricultural land on the island, where authorities have declared a state of emergency and have sent firefighting reinforcements from Athens, the northern city of Thessaloniki and the nearby island of Lesbos. By Tuesday morning, the fire department said 444 firefighters with 85 vehicles were tackling the blaze on scattered fronts. Eleven helicopters and two water-dropping planes were providing air support. Emergency services have issued evacuation orders for villages and settlements in the area since Sunday, when fires broke out near the island’s main town. The fire department has sent an arson investigation team to Chios to examine the cause of the blaze. “We are faced with simultaneous fires in multiple, geographically unconnected parts of the island — a pattern that cannot be considered coincidental,” Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister Giannis Kefalogiannis said Monday from Chios. Authorities, he said, were “very seriously examining the possibility of an organized criminal act, in other words arson.”

Japan conducts first missile test on own land TOKYO — Japan’s army announced Tuesday that it conducted a missile test for the first time on Japanese territory, as the country accelerates its military buildup to deter increasingly assertive China. The test-firing of the Type 88 surface-to-ship, short-range missile was conducted Tuesday at the Shizunai Anti-Air Firing Range on Japan’s northernmost main island of Hokkaido. About 300 soldiers participated in Tuesday’s exercise by the Ground Self-Defense Force’s 1st Artillery Brigade, using a training missile targeting an unmanned boat about 24 miles off the southern coast of Hokkaido, officials said. Officials were still examining the results of the test, the GSDF said. Due to space limitations and safety concerns, Japan has previously conducted missile tests in the territories of the United States, a treaty ally, and Australia, a top Japanese defense partner where vast training grounds are available. Tuesday’s first domestic missile test underscores Japan’s push toward a more self-sufficient military and its acquisition of strike-back capabilities as a deterrence to China’s increasingly assertive naval activity in regional seas.

Brazilian tourist dead after falling from volcano SAO PAULO — A young Brazilian hiker who fell hundreds of meters from the ridge of a towering Indonesian volcano and was trapped there for almost four days was found dead on Tuesday, Brazil’s government said. For days, millions of people in Brazil had watched, posted and prayed as rescuers tried to locate her. The tourist, 26-year-old Juliana Marins, began summiting on June 21 Mount Rinjani, an active 12,224-foot volcano on the Indonesian island of Lombok, with a guide and five other foreigners when she fell some 1,968 feet, Indonesian authorities said. “No signs of life were found,” said Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency. Marins’ family in Brazil confirmed her death. The Indonesian rescue team said it found Marins’ body beside a crater using a thermal drone after four days of intensive searches complicated by extremely harsh terrain and weather. The difficult conditions and limited visibility delayed the evacuation process, Syafii said, as the rescue team climbed carrying Marins’ body to Sembalun basecamp but would have to wait until Wednesday for transport to a police hospital.

NATO’s chief praises Trump ahead of summit Rutte says president will make Europe ‘pay in a BIG way’

BY MOLLY QUELL, LORNE COOK and MIKE CORDER Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — NATO SecretaryGeneral Mark Rutte praised President Donald Trump for making Europe “pay in a BIG way,” as leaders gathered in the Netherlands on Tuesday for a historic summit that could unite them around a new defense spending pledge or widen divisions among the 32 member countries of the security alliance. The U.S. president, while en route, published a screenshot of a private message from Rutte saying: “Donald, you have driven us to a really, really important moment for America and Europe and the world. You will achieve something NO American president in decades could get done.” “Europe is going to pay in a BIG way, as they should, and it will be your win,” Rutte wrote. NATO conﬁrmed that he sent the message. Rutte appeared unconcerned that Trump aired it, telling reporters: “I have absolutely no trouble or problem with that because there’s nothing in it which had to stay secret.” Trump arrived early in the evening after injecting uncertainty over whether the U.S. would abide by the mutual defense guarantees outlined in the NATO treaty. “Depends on your deﬁnition,” he said. Rutte said he has no doubt about the Article 5 guarantee, which says an armed attack on one member is an attack on all. On Wednesday, the allies are likely to en-

dorse a goal of spending 5% of their gross domestic product on their security, to be able to fulfil the alliance’s plans for defending against outside attack. Trump has said the U.S. should not have to. Spain has said it cannot, and that the target is “unreasonable.” Slovakia said it reserves the right to decide how to reach the target by NATO’s new 2035 deadline. “There’s a problem with Spain. Spain is not agreeing, which is very unfair to the rest of them, frankly,” Trump told reporters. In 2018, a NATO summit during Trump’s first term unraveled due to a dispute over defense spending. Ahead of the meeting, Britain, France and Germany committed to the 5% goal. The Netherlands is also on board. Nations closer to the borders of Ukraine, Russia and its ally Belarus had previously pledged to do so. Trump’s first appearance at NATO since returning to the White House was supposed to center on how the U.S. secured the historic military spending pledge from others in the alliance — effectively bending it to its will. But the spotlight has shifted to Trump’s decision to strike three nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran that the administration says eroded Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, as well as the president’s sudden announcement that Israel and Iran had reached a “complete and total ceasefire.” Ukraine has also suffered as a result of that new conflict. It has created a need for weapons and ammunition that Kyiv desperately wants, and shifted the world’s attention. Past NATO summits have focused almost entirely on the war in Ukraine, now in its fourth year.

Russian attacks kill 26 civilians in Ukraine; Zelenskyy seeks more help BY ILLIA NOVIKOV Associated Press

KYIV, Ukraine — Russian drones, missiles and artillery killed at least 26 civilians and injured more than 200 others in Ukraine, officials said Tuesday, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought guarantees at a NATO summit of further Western help to repel Moscow’s invasion. Russian forces have relentlessly struck civilian areas throughout the 3-year-old war. More than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed, according to the United Nations. Ukraine has also launched long-range drones against Russia, hitting residential areas. Zelenskyy joined Western leaders at a NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands, and is keen to lock in additional military support for Ukraine, as recent direct peace talks have made no progress on a settlement. Key U.S. military commitments to Ukraine left over from the Biden administration are expected to run out within months, according to analysts, and there is uncertainty over whether U.S. President Donald Trump is willing to provide more. A Russian ballistic missile attack on Dnipro hit multiple civilian sites in the central Ukrainian city

A Russian soldier prepares a Giatsint-B 152 mm field gun to fire on an undisclosed location in Ukraine on Tuesday. around midday Tuesday, killing 17 people and injuring more than 200 others, ofﬁcials said. “The number of casualties is constantly being updated,” Dnipro’s regional administration head Serhii Lysak wrote on Telegram. In the nearby town of Samar, an attack killed two people and injured 14, he said. The barrage damaged 19 schools, 10 kindergartens, a vocational school, a music school and a social welfare ofﬁce, as well as eight medical facilities, according to Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov. Schools are closed for the summer break. One of the blasts blew out the windows of a passenger train carrying about 500 people. Filatov declared Wednesday to be an official day of mourning. In a post on Telegram, Zelenskyy said Russia

needs foreign components to build its ballistic missiles and he urged countries to crack down on Moscow’s “schemes” to obtain them. “Sanctions against Russia must also be signiﬁcantly strengthened,” he said. Russia also shelled residential neighborhoods and critical infrastructure across Ukraine’s southern Kherson region, killing four civilians and wounding at least 11 others, according to Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the regional military administration. In the Sumy region of northeastern Ukraine, a drone attack late Monday killed three civilians, including a 5-year-old boy, and injured six others, local authorities said. Among the injured were two 17-year-old girls and a 12-year-old boy, according to ofﬁcials.

CEASEFIRE

Continued from page 1A But later he said the deal was saved. “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly “Plane Wave” to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!” Trump said in his Truth Social post. Indeed, Netanyahu’s office said he held off on tougher strikes against Iran after speaking to Trump. The conflict, now in its 12th day, began with Israel targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, saying it could not allow Tehran to develop atomic weapons and that it feared the Islamic Republic was close. Iran has long maintained that its program is peaceful.

CVS

Continued from page 1A “CVS Pharmacy remains the lowest cost pharmacy and a critical partner in lowering prescription drug costs for Louisianans,” the company said. All three cases allege that CVS violated Louisiana’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. The first accuses CVS of improperly using its customers’ data to send text messages urging them to tell their legislators to oppose a bill pending during the final days of the recent legislative session. CVS “misused health-related information of Louisiana citizens for political lobbying, in violation of Louisiana law and fundamental principles of confidentiality and trust in the pharmacist-patient relationship,” the state’s court filings allege. The text messages were “inaccurate, misleading and deceptive” and were “intended to incite fear among vulnerable people” to generate political support, court filings say. The bill in question, House Bill 358, which Landry supported, would have barred companies like CVS from owning both PBMs, which are supposed to negotiate lower drug prices from manufacturers, and drugstores themselves. CVS sent a barrage of text mes-

If the truce holds, it will provide a global sense of relief after the U.S. intervened by dropping bunkerbuster bombs on nuclear sites — a move that risked further destabilizing the volatile region. Trump phoned Netanyahu after the American bombing on Sunday and told him not to expect additional U.S. military attacks and that he should seek a diplomatic solution with Iran, a senior White House ofﬁcial said. Trump’s position was that the U.S. had removed any imminent threat posed by Iran, according to the official, who was not authorized to comment publicly about sensitive diplomatic talks and spoke on condition of anonymity. Israel followed up the U.S. air attacks by expanding the kinds of targets it was hitting. After Tehran launched a limited retaliatory strike Monday on a U.S.

sages to customers warning the bill could force the company to close down all of its pharmacies in Louisiana. Murrill on Tuesday said she received a text message from CVS about the legislation, and Landry said his wife, Sharon, did, too. The measure ultimately failed to pass after the Senate did not take it up, though the Legislature did approve another bill putting tighter restrictions on PBMs. CVS has argued the texts were legal and were an important way to alert customers to the legislation, which emerged abruptly in the last days of the session. “Our communication with CVS customers, patients and members of the community was consistent with the law,” the company said. The second lawsuit alleges the company has used its size and vertical integration design — meaning its control of insurers, PBMs and drugstores — to squeeze out competition and drive up drug costs, among other practices. CVS controls “the ﬂow of prescription drugs from formulary design and pricing negotiations to pharmacy reimbursement, health insurance coverage, and drug dispensing,” the lawsuit says. “That inﬂuence has been wielded not to lower drug costs or enhance access, but instead to manipulate prices, restrict competition, and channel profits internally.” CVS argues it delivers value to

patients by providing better care and easier access. “By combining health care delivery, pharmacy, health care benefits, and pharmacy benefit management, we make it easier for people to have what they want the most: a connected care experience,” the company said in a statement. The third lawsuit accuses CVS of abusing its market power to “inflict economic harm” and impose unfair fees on independent pharmacies “under threat of being expelled from the CVS network.” CVS disputes those claims. “For too long, big drug middlemen called PBMS, have inflated drug prices and taken advantage of Louisianans,” Landry said in a statement. “I’m proud to stand with Attorney General Liz Murrill in holding them accountable.”

“mass text messages to its patients about pending legislation” and for “improperly” using the contact information of state employees. The next day, the ﬁnal day of the legislative session, Murrill held a news conference to announce that she would look into whether CVS engaged in “unfair and deceptive trade practices by improperly using people’s personal information in a way that they did not permit.” The attorney general that day also sent CVS a cease-and-desist letter, demanding the company stop “the unlawful use of Louisiana citizens’ personal information” and threatening possible legal action.

Simmering controversy The political battle over PBMs burst into public view on the second-to-last day of Louisiana’s regular legislative session, when CVS sent the text messages saying the proposed legislation threatened to close all CVS pharmacies across Louisiana. “Last minute legislation in Louisiana threatens to close your CVS Pharmacy — your medication cost may go up and your pharmacist may lose their job,” one such text said. That day, Landry sent a letter to Murrill asking her ofﬁce to investigate CVS for what he said were

about a “spiral of escalations” without a ceasefire. Trump suggested the ceasefire would allow Iranian oil to continue to flow, saying on social media that China could keep purchasing crude from Iran. The deal got off to a rocky start. An Israeli military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity in line with military regulations said Iran launched two missiles at Israel hours into the tenuous ceasefire. Both were intercepted, the official said. Iranian state television reported that the military denied firing missiles after the start of the ceasefire — while condemning Israel for predawn strikes of its own. One of those attacks killed a high-profile nuclear scientist, Mohammad Reza Sedighi Saber, at his father-in-law’s residence in northern Iran, Iranian state TV reported.

Bill 358, said that it was time for businesses to choose between operating as a pharmacy or a PBM. He said that current state of affairs has led to independent pharmacies getting reimbursed less and less while PBMs “make their own pockets fatter.” The bill died on the last day of session, however, after senators raised concerns that it had skipped the standard public vetting process. In the final days of session, Landry publicly pressured the Legislature to get behind Miller’s bill. And when it failed, he promised to call a special session on the issue. At the news conference Tuesday, asked about calling a special session regarding PBMs, the governor said that, “we are convening a group of some of the best and brightest regarding PBMs and vertical integration.” That group, along with the attorney general, he said, is going to review state law to determine whether it’s possible to exercise “authority unilaterally” to exert greater control over PBMs through action by the executive branch. “If we can’t, then certainly we intend to bring the Legislature in so that we can put the laws in place to protect our people,” he said. “As soon as I ﬁnd out when I can act, we will act.”

CVS Health is a publicly traded company that owns health insurer Aetna, drugstore chain CVS Pharmacy, and pharmacy beneﬁt manager CVS Caremark. A provision tacked onto a bill in the afternoon of the second-tolast day of the legislative session would have prohibited PBMs from owning pharmacies in the state — a policy CVS said was an existential threat to its pharmacies in Louisiana. CVS said the restriction would have forced it to close 119 Louisiana pharmacies, affecting 1 million patients. It criticized the last-minute push to pass the bill without committee hearings. But Rep.

RACING

Continued from page 1A Racing commission Chair Edward Koehl thanked Gov. Jeff Landry for his help in resolving the issue. Commenting after the board meeting, he said there had been no concession of any kind made by the state. The climbdown by Churchill Downs averts a crisis that had threatened horse racing at the historic Fair Grounds, which has been operating at the site in one form or another since the 1830s. In March, the Louisiana Supreme Court had ruled that Historic Horse Racing machines — which allow betting on anonymized previously run races — are effectively

a new type of slot machine rather than an extension of live horse race betting. That meant a 2021 law allowing the slots was invalid and users would need voter approval in each parish before they could be allowed. Churchill Downs argued that banning those machines would nearly halve its revenue in Louisiana, which would make it unproﬁtable and unable to subsidize horse racing in the form of purses. It originally asked for a public subsidy of around $20 million but reduced that considerably in later negotiations. The company didn’t get any support from Landry’s administration or from state and local legislators. On the contrary, the New Orleans City Council and the state quickly passed mea-

The deal must still be approved by federal regulators. It is expected to be ﬁnalized in the third quarter of 2025, according to the statement.

Cassidy raises concerns over vaccination committee Senator calls for meeting postponement

BY MARK BALLARD Staff writer

WASHINGTON — After weeks of staying mostly quiet about Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s remaking of an inﬂuential committee that advises the federal government on vaccinations, U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy on Monday night voiced concerns about the new members and called for postponing its scheduled two-day meeting slated to begin Wednesday. Cassidy, a strong promoter of vaccinations over his 30 years as a medical doctor, was initially reserved in his

reaction to Kennedy’s June 9 “retiring” of 17 scientists on the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. Kennedy, a longtime skeptic of vaccinations, said the Trump administration wanted members more closely aligned with the president. “A clean sweep is needed to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science,” he stated. Kennedy named eight new members, including some who have used conservative media platforms to voice skepticism about vaccines. Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, said June 10 that he would reserve comment until he completed research on the backgrounds of Kennedy’s picks. He did not comment

8 dead from boat capsize on Lake Tahoe BY OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ and CHRISTOPHER WEBER Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Four members of a family from Northern California who were celebrating a birthday were among eight people killed when a boat capsized on Lake Tahoe in California over the weekend during a sudden and ﬁerce thunderstorm. Josh Pickles, 37, of San Francisco, his parents, 73-year-old Terry Pickles and 71-year-old Paula Bozinovich of Redwood City, and his uncle, 72-year-old Peter Bayes, of Lincoln, died Saturday, according to a family statement. “No words can express the pain and anguish we feel knowing their lives were lost during what was meant to be a joyful time on the lake,” Josh Pickles’ wife, Jordan Sugar-Carlsgaard, said in the statement Tuesday. “Our

hearts go out to those who tragically lost their lives and the two survivors of this unexpected and deadly storm on Lake Tahoe.” Two people were rescued immediately after the boat flipped over. Their identities and conditions were not known Tuesday. The group was celebrating Paula Bozinovich’s birthday on her son’s boat, which he bought about a year ago, said Sam Singer, a family spokesperson. Josh Pickles’ wife had stayed at home taking care of their 7-month-old daughter, Singer said. The couple, who married in 2023, both worked at tech companies in San Francisco. Josh worked at DoorDash and Jordan at AirBNB, Singer said. They split their time between homes in the Bay Area and Lake Tahoe, where they had used their boat only twice before.

much publicly until Monday night. “Although the appointees to ACIP have scientific credentials, many do not have significant experience studying microbiology, epidemiology or immunology,” Cassidy wrote on X. “In particular, some lack experience studying new technologies such as mRNA vaccines, and may even have a preconceived bias against them.” Cassidy added that robust scientific discussion rooted in evidence is a necessary component of the panel’s advice. “Wednesday’s meeting should not proceed with a relatively small panel, and no CDC Director in place to approve the panel’s recommendations. The meeting should be delayed until the panel

is fully staffed with more robust and balanced representation — as required by law — including those with more direct relevant expertise,” Cassidy wrote. “Otherwise, ACIP’s recommendations could be viewed with skepticism, which will work against the success of this Administration’s efforts.” Cassidy said Tuesday his position supports the Trump administration “to help them get something which is more credible and something which is more standard.” The Department of Health and Human Services did not respond to a request for comment. Kennedy has named eight people so far to ﬁll the 17 vacancies. Cassidy said the department is vetting others to ﬁll those positions.

“I have actually submitted several names to be considered, so they’re actively interviewing,” Cassidy said. But none of those new candidates will be appointed in time for Wednesday’s meeting. The committee’s meetings involve presentations by the CDC of detailed data concerning vaccines and their uses. The draft agenda for the meetings on Wednesday and Thursday include discussions about the effectiveness of COVID-19 and Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccines, which is a key issue for antivaxxers. As chair of the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions committee, many GOP senators looked to Cassidy on whether to confirm Kennedy, President Donald

Trump’s controversial pick to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy has made a career out of questioning the need and safety of the vaccinations used to treat and ward off disease. In addition to the health care providers who rely on vaccinations, enough Republican senators were wary of confirming such a well-known anti-vaxxer to lead the nation’s health department. Cassidy, who is running for reelection next year, backed the conﬁrmation after what he said were Kennedy’s assurances not to spread antivaccination stances into government programs.

Ten Commandments ruling paused Case may get review by full 5th Circuit

BY PATRICK WALL Staff writer

A federal appeals court decision blocking Louisiana’s Ten Commandments law has been paused, creating an opening for the full court to rehear the highstakes case. A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that the law, which requires public schools to post the Ten Commandments, is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced. On Monday, an unnamed judge on the 5th Circuit stopped the ruling from being sent to the lower courts, effectively putting it on hold. The pause gives the defendants an opportunity to request that the case

be reheard by the full 5th Circuit, widely considered the country’s most conservative federal court of appeals. A spokesperson for state Attorney General Liz Murrill, whose ofﬁce is representing the defendants, said the ofﬁce plans to submit a request this week for a full court, or “en banc,” review. “We are encouraged to see that one 5th Circuit judge already has held the mandate in this case, signaling interest in en banc proceedings,” said spokesperson Lester Duhé, referring to the judge who on Monday ordered the case not be returned to the lower courts. The Ten Commandments case has been closely watched as a test of whether the courts will uphold the traditional divide between church and state or allow religion to play a larger role in public institutions. If the full court agrees to rehear the case, it could lead to a very different out-

come than Friday’s ruling. Two of the three judges on the panel were appointed by Democrats, while 12 of 17 active judges on the full court were appointed by Republicans, with six selected by President Donald Trump. The process leading to a full court review can be lengthy, with judges arguing behind closed doors for or against the move before conducting a poll. In the meantime, a lower court’s preliminary injunction will stand barring five school districts — East Baton Rouge, Livingston, Orleans, St. Tammany and Vernon parishes — from putting up the Ten Commandments posters and state officials from enforcing the law. The 5th Circuit panel’s decision on Friday upheld the lower court’s ruling, calling the law “plainly unconstitutional.” The panel wrote that “unwanted exposure to government-sponsored religious displays” would violate students’ First Amend-

ment right to religious freedom. The ACLU of Louisiana, one of several groups representing public-school parents who sued to block Louisiana’s law, praised Friday’s ruling. “Religious freedom — the right to choose one’s faith without pressure — is essential to American democracy,” said Alanah Odoms, the group’s executive director, in a statement. But First Liberty Institute, a legal advocacy group that supports Louisiana’s law, condemned the panel’s decision. “The Ten Commandments are part of the history and tradition of our country, and we hope that the full Fifth Circuit will step in to correct this grievous error,” Kelly Shackelford, the group’s president and CEO, said in a statement.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement. Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care. Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.

When you’re comparing plans ...  Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only.  Look for coverage with no deductibles. Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid.  Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1

Previous dental work can wear out.

That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.

Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2

Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.

Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.

The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.

Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $222 for a checkup ... $190 for a filling ... $1,213 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

Trump administration postpones Supreme Court asked to allow classiﬁed Iran briefings for lawmakers Sudan-bound deportation flight BY MARY CLARE JALONICK and KEVIN FREKING

BY LINDSAY WHITEHURST

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Tuesday postponed classified briefings for Senate and House members as lawmakers look for more answers about President Donald Trump’s directed strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend and his announcement on Monday that the two countries had reached a ceasefire agreement. The Senate briefing has been rescheduled for Thursday so that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio can attend, according to multiple people with knowledge of the scheduling change who would only discuss it on the condition of anonymity. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Benton, said on social media that the House briefing will now be held on Friday, “details to follow.” Trump proclaimed on social media that Israel and Iran had agreed that there will be an “Official END” of their conflict. That tentative truce briefly faltered Tuesday when Israel accused Iran of launching missiles into its airspace, but Trump later declared it was “in effect!” The separate briefings for the House and Senate were to be led by CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, along with Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and deputy secretaries of state Christopher Landau and Steve Feinberg. Democrats in Congress, along with some Republicans, have many questions about Trump’s unilateral decision to launch military action, arguing he should have gone to Congress for approval — or at least provided more justification for the attacks. Congress has not received any new intelligence

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine speaks during a news conference at the Pentagon in Washington on Sunday after the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel’s effort to destroy the country’s nuclear program. since Gabbard told lawmakers in March that the U.S. believed Iran was not building a new nuclear weapon, according to two people familiar with the intelligence. The people insisted on anonymity to share what Congress has been told. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said it is “outrageous” that the administration postponed the briefings. “There is a legal obligation for the administration to inform Congress about precisely what is happening,” Schumer said. “What are they afraid of? Why won’t they engage Congress in the critical details?” California Rep. Pete Aguilar, chair of the House Democratic caucus, said that lawmakers “need evidence, we need details and we need to know them now.” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, defended the administration’s handling of the information, saying the briefings were postponed because “the situation is still developing” amid the recent ceasefire announcement. Many lawmakers feel they have been left in the dark on what led to the strikes and amid escalating tensions between the White House and

N O R T H A M ER I CA’S

Congress over the role of the United States internationally — disagreements that don’t always fall along party lines. Democrats have been generally suspicious of the Republican president’s strategy, and his motives abroad, but some believe the U.S. could have a role in supporting Israel against Iran. Others strongly believe the U.S. should stay out of it. Some of Trump’s strongest Republican supporters agree with the Democrats who oppose intervention, echoing the president’s years of arguments against “forever wars.” But most Republicans enthusiastically backed the strikes, saying Trump should have the power to act on his own. The House Speaker said Tuesday that the strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities were “clearly” within Trump’s powers and went as far as to question the constitutionality of the War Powers Act, which is intended to give Congress a say in military action. “The bottom line is the commander in chief is the president, the military reports to the president, and the person empowered to act on the nation’s behalf is the president,” Johnson told reporters.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court on Tuesday to clear the way for the deportation of several immigrants to South Sudan, a war-ravaged country where they have no ties. The motion comes a day after the justices allowed immigration ofﬁcials to restart quick deportations to third countries, halting a lower-court order that had allowed migrants to challenge removals to countries where they could be in danger. But Judge Brian Murphy in Boston found the deportation ﬂight diverted to Djibouti in May couldn’t immediately resume its

path to South Sudan. While he acknowledged the Supreme Court decision pausing his broader order, he said his ruling on that flight remained in place. The migrants must still get a chance to argue in court that they’d be in danger of torture if sent there, he found. The Trump administration pushed back in a court filing, calling the judge’s finding “a lawless act of defiance that, once again, disrupts sensitive diplomatic relations and slams the brakes on the Executive’s lawful efforts to effectuate third-country removals.” Attorneys for the migrants say they could face “imprisonment, torture and even death” if sent to South Sudan, the world’s newest and one of its poorest countries. South Sudan has

endured waves of violence since gaining independence from Sudan in 2011, and escalating political tensions in the African nation have threatened to devolve into another civil war. The push comes amid a sweeping immigration crackdown by Trump’s Republican administration, which has pledged to deport millions of people who are living in the United States illegally. Because some countries do not accept their citizens deported from the U.S., the administration has reached agreements with other countries, including Panama and Costa Rica, to house immigrants. Murphy, who was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden, didn’t prohibit deportations to third countries.

ROME — Pope Leo XIV kicked off a weeklong celebration of Catholic clergy Tuesday by encouraging seminarians to be joyful and honest, offering an uplifting message after Pope Francis frequently castigated priests and decried what he called the sin of “clericalism.” History’s ﬁrst AmerLeo XIV ican pope presided over a rollicking encounter with thousands of young men who were in Rome for a special Jubilee week celebrating seminarians, priests and bishops. Tuesday’s encounter turned St. Peter’s Basilica into something resembling a concert venue, with seminarians waving their national flags, interrupting Leo frequently with applause and shouts of “Papa Leone” and straining against barricades to kiss his ring as he passed. In his remarks, Leo thanked the seminarians for agreeing to devote their lives to the church and said that with their energy “you fuel the flame of hope in the life of the church.” He urged them to be brave, joyful, truthful and not hide behind masks or live hypocritical lives. “You also have to learn to give a name and voice to sadness, fear, anxiety and indignation, bringing everything before God,” the Augustinian pope told them. “Crises, limitations, fragilities aren’t to be hidden, but are rather occasions for grace.” Francis also frequently

met with seminarians, priests and bishops. But he often had a message of tough love, railing against what he called clericalism, or the tendency to put priests and clergy on a pedestal. For Francis, clericalism was the root of many of the church’s problems, especially the clergy sex abuse and cover-up scandal, given how he said it can contribute to abuses of power and authority. While offering a more positive message, Leo cited many of Francis’ concerns in urging seminarians to accompany the poor and lamenting today’s “throwaway culture.” The seminarians interrupted him with applause when he cited Francis by name. The message of encouragement may also have been aimed at addressing the Catholic Church’s chronic hemorrhaging of the number of clergy. According to the latest Vatican statistics, the number of seminarians worldwide continued to drop even as the Catholic population grew. There were 108,481 seminarians at the end of 2022, compared to 109,895 the previous year. Only Africa and Oceania registered increases and the church registered steep declines in the traditionally Catholic Americas and Europe, and a more modest decline in Asia. Over the coming days, Leo is expected to hold similar encounters with priests and bishops before presiding over a Jubilee Mass this weekend. This week marks something of the halfway mark of the Vatican’s 2025 Holy Year, a celebration of Catholicism held once every quarter-century that has brought millions of pilgrims to Rome.

WASHINGTON — The massive tax and spending cuts package that President Donald Trump wants on his desk by July 4 would loosen regulations on gun silencers and certain types of rifles and shotguns, advancing a longtime priority of the gun industry as Republican leaders in the House and Senate try to win enough votes to pass the bill. The guns provision was first requested in the House by Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde, a Republican gun store owner who had initially opposed the larger tax package. The House bill would remove silencers — called “suppressors” by the gun industry — from a 1930s law that regulates firearms that are considered the most dangerous, eliminating a $200 tax while removing a layer of background checks. The Senate kept the provision on silencers in its version of the bill and expanded upon it, adding short-barreled, or sawed-off, rifles and shotguns. Republicans who have long supported the changes, along with the gun industry, say the tax infringes on Second Amendment rights. They say silencers are mostly used by hunters and target shooters for sport. “Burdensome regulations and unconstitutional taxes shouldn’t stand in the way of protecting American gun owners’ hearing,” said Clyde, who owns two gun stores in Georgia and often wears a pin shaped like an assault rifle on his suit lapel. Democrats are fighting to stop the provision, which was unveiled days after two Minnesota state legislators were shot in their homes, as the bill speeds through the Senate. They argue that loosening regulations on silencers could make it easi-

er for criminals and active shooters to conceal their weapons. “Parents don’t want silencers on their streets, police don’t want silencers on their streets,” said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The gun language has broad support among Republicans and has received little attention as House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Benton, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., work to settle differences within the party on cuts to Medicaid and energy tax credits, among other issues. But it is just one of hundreds of policy and spending items included to entice members to vote for the legislation that could have broad implications if the bill is enacted within weeks, as Trump wants. Inclusion of the provision is also a sharp turn from the

climate in Washington just three years ago when Democrats, like Republicans now, controlled Congress and the White House and pushed through bipartisan gun legislation. The bill increased background checks for some buyers under the age of 21, made it easier to take firearms from potentially dangerous people and sent millions of dollars to mental health services in schools. Passed in the summer of 2022, just weeks after the shooting of 19 children and two adults at a school in Uvalde, Texas, it was the most signiﬁcant legislative response to gun violence in decades. Three years later, as they try to take advantage of their consolidated power in Washington, Republicans are packing as many of their longtime priorities as possible, including the gun legislation, into the mas-

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs confirms he won’t testify, praises trial judge BY MICHAEL R. SISAK and LARRY NEUMEISTER Associated Press

NEW YORK — Sean “Diddy” Combs told the judge at his sex trafﬁcking trial that he’s doing an “excellent job” as he conﬁrmed Tuesday that he won’t testify. Combs made the comment to U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian after being asked about testifying. The question was posed by the Manhattan jurist after the prosecution rested following a more than sixweek-long presentation of evidence against the hiphop maven. Later in the afternoon, the defense rested without calling any witnesses. In a routine occurrence after prosecutors rest at criminal trials, Combs’ lawyers made arguments to toss

out the charges, arguing the charges weren’t proven. The judge said he’ll rule at a later date. Prosecutors have called 34 witnesses to try to prove sex trafﬁcking and racketeering conspiracy charges that resulted in Combs’ September arrest, including two ex-girlfriends of Combs who testified they felt coerced into marathon sex events with male sex workers that were called “freak-offs” or “hotel nights.” Defense lawyers, though, say they were consensual sexual encounters consistent with the swingers lifestyle. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty and has remained incarcerated without bail in a federal lockup in Brooklyn after multiple judges concluded last fall that he was a danger to the community.

It is standard practice at federal criminal trials for the judge to directly question the defendant about the decision to testify or not, in part to ensure that the defendant knows it is his decision, regardless of what his lawyers have told him. When it came time for Subramanian to question Combs after prosecutors rested, the judge asked him how he’s doing. “I’m doing great, your honor,” the Bad Boy Entertainment founder answered, before volunteering a compliment to the judge before another question could be posed. “I want to tell you thank you, you’re doing an excellent job,” Combs said. Combs said he “thoroughly” discussed the matter with his lawyers before deciding not to testify.

sive, wide-ranging bill that Trump has called “beautiful.” “I’m glad the Senate is joining the House to stand up for the Second Amendment and our Constitution, and I will continue to fight for these priorities as the Senate works to pass President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill,” said Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who was one of the lead negotiators on the bipartisan gun bill in 2022 but is now facing a primary challenge from the right in his bid for reelection next year. If the gun provisions remain in the larger legislation and it is passed, silencers and the short-barrel rifles and shotguns would lose an extra layer of regulation that they are subject to under the National Firearms Act, passed in the 1930s in response to concerns about mafia violence.

Stocks near all-time high, oil prices tumble

U.S. stocks rose toward their all-time high on Tuesday after oil prices eased further on hopes that Israel’s war with Iran will not damage the global flow of crude. The S&P 500 climbed 1.1%, following up on big gains for stocks across Europe and Asia, after President Donald Trump said late Monday that Israel and Iran had agreed to a “complete and total ceasefire.” The main measure of Wall Street’s health is back within 0.8% of its record set in February after falling roughly 20% below during the spring. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 507 points, or 1.2%, and the Nasdaq composite rallied 1.4%. The strongest action was again in the oil market, where a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude fell 6% to settle at $64.37. Brent crude, the international standard, had a similar drop. The fear throughout the Israel-Iran conflict has been that it could squeeze the world’s supply of oil, which would pump up prices for gasoline and hurt the global economy. Oil prices began falling sharply on Monday after Iran launched what appeared to be a limited retaliatory strike to the United States’ entry into the war, one that did not target the production or movement of oil. They kept falling even after attacks continued past a deadline to stop hostilities early Tuesday.

Fed rate cut on hold, Powell says Trump, chair at odds over reductions

BY CHRIS RUGABER AP economics writer

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve will continue to wait and see how the economy evolves before deciding whether to reduce its key interest rate, Chair Jerome Powell said Tuesday, a stance directly at odds with President Donald Trump’s calls for immediate cuts. “For the time being, we are wellpositioned to wait to learn more about the likely course of the economy before considering any

adjustments to our policy stance,” Powell said in testimony Tuesday before the House Financial Services Committee. Several Republicans on the committee pushed Powell to consider reducing borrowing costs more quickly, as soon as its next meeting at the end of July. But on the whole, the hearing was uniformly polite and Powell did not face sharp criticism over the Fed’s decision to leave its rate unchanged. Members of both parties thanked Powell for maintaining his focus on the Fed’s dual mission of controlling inflation and supporting maximum employment. Powell has often cited his support

in Congress as a bulwark against Trump’s attacks. Trump lashed out again early Tuesday, posting on his social media site: “I hope Congress really works this very dumb, hardheaded person, over. We will be paying for his incompetence for many years to come.” Powell Several Republicans asked Powell why the central bank has yet to lower borrowing costs. Powell responded that most economists, inside and outside the Fed, still expect tariffs to push inflation higher, and Fed policymakers want to see what happens over the

next couple of months before making any changes. “We do expect tariff inﬂation to show up more,” Powell said. “We really don’t know how much of that’s going to be passed through the consumer. We have to wait and see.” Under questioning, Powell acknowledged that tariffs might not push up inflation as much as economists forecast. That, he said, could lead the Fed to reduce rates more quickly. A sharp rise in the unemployment rate could also spur the Fed to cut borrowing costs more quickly, he said.

Consumer confidence drops on concerns U.S. consumer confidence unexpectedly declined in June, underscoring lingering anxiety about the potential impacts on the economy and job market from higher U.S. import duties. The Conference Board’s gauge of confidence decreased 5.4 points to 93, data showed Tuesday. The figure was below all estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists. A measure of consumer expectations for the next six months dropped 4.6 points, as the share of respondents anticipating better business conditions fell by the most in more than two years. The gauge of present conditions fell 6.4 points. The retreat in confidence erased nearly half of the prior month’s rebound that was due to a temporary agreement between the U.S. and China to roll back extreme tariffs. This month’s retreat suggests consumers will remain guarded about their spending. “In this kind of environment, it’s not surprising that consumers are hesitant to make big purchases,” Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, said in a note. “They are sitting on the sidelines and only buying homes, cars and appliances if they absolutely must. This is an ‘abundance of caution economy.’” The cutoff date for the Conference Board survey was June 18, five days after Israel launched a series of strikes on Iranian targets. References to geopolitics increased only slightly in write-in responses, according to the survey. Tariffs remain top of mind among those surveyed.

Finding energy efficient appliances may get harder EPA hints at plans to shut down Energy Star offices BY CALEIGH WELLS Associated Press

TWINSBURG, Ohio — When Judy Sautner recently walked into Power Appliance, a store in a southeastern suburb of Cleveland, she had one goal in mind: replace her daughter’s broken dryer with something that worked and didn’t break the bank. “I wasn’t really worried about all the bells and whistles,” said Sautner. Jay Buchanan, the store’s owner, said many customers are like Sautner, and what they are looking for frequently ends up being an appliance with the Energy Star symbol. The U.S.-based program claims that its blue seal of approval on efficient appliances saves households an average of $450 on their bills per year. Since its launch in 1992, Energy Star appliances have also prevented 4 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, the main cause of climate change. But the program’s future is unclear. The Environmental Protection Agency has announced an agency reorganization plan that would eliminate its Energy Star offices. That would make it more difficult for customers to find energy-efficient appliances.

Energy Star is a voluntary labeling program. The EPA sets energy efficiency standards for various machines, and then companies that produce them can try to hit or exceed those standards. If they do, they get the Energy Star sticker certifying it works as well as a standard product and uses less energy. Companies are incentivized to make products that earn that sticker because state and local utility rebate programs, along with federal tax incentives, base qualifying appliances on the program. Consumers who want to save money through incentives and lower gas and electric bills know to look for it. And according to the program’s website, roughly 90% of households recognize the symbol. Qualifying specifications vary depending on the appliance, but requirements include the amount of energy consumed when a machine is turned off, the inclusion of a lowpower or “sleep” mode and a minimum efficiency rating when it’s operating. Finding and buying energy-efficient products without that certification wouldn’t be impossible, just difficult, said Elizabeth Hewitt, associate professor of technology and society at Stony Brook University. “You have to become a really savvy shopper,” she said. It would mean consumers searching for, say, a dishwasher, would have to put together a list of options, gather specifications that

come with each product, compare them, and recognize which numbers indicate that the dishwasher is energy efficient. Specifications for a washing machine, for example, might include how many clothes can fit in a load, the gallons of water per load and the electricity required to run a cycle, while a furnace’s specs focus on how good it is at converting energy into heat, how much of that heat leaks and how well its fan does at blowing hot air into the house. Converting all those numbers into a single seal of approval would be complicated. “Unless they’re deep into analytics, they’re not gonna freakin’ know,” said Buchanan. Buchanan said his customers usually ask for help finding energy-efficient appliances. So if that seal of approval disappears, it’ll change his life more than the lives of his customers. He said he’ll have to do the work to figure out which appliances will save on energy bills. The concern, said Executive Director Ben Stapleton with U.S. Green Building Council California, a nonprofit focused on sustainable building, is that extra set of steps will deter people from prioritizing energy efficiency. “If we’re just relying on the manufacturer and relying on people to go through the manual to see what the power draw is, it’s hard to imagine that being effective,” he said.

Waymo’s robotaxis expand to Atlanta

JPMorgan Chase gives $1M to help N.O. small businesses

Waymo’s robotaxis began carrying passengers through parts of Atlanta on Tuesday in an expansion of a partnership with Uber’s ride-hailing service that began earlier this year in Austin. The robotaxis will initially cover a 65-square-mile area within the Atlanta market before expanding to a larger stretch. Waymo’s driverless march into Atlanta comes just days after Tesla ﬁnally launched a limited robotaxi service in Austin, more than ﬁve years after CEO Elon Musk promised the electric automaker would quickly overtake Waymo as the leader in autonomous driving technology.

Leaders of three nonproﬁts on Tuesday gathered to celebrate global bank JPMorganChase’s $1 million investment in a program designed to support and grow small businesses in New Orleans. It’s the biggest check to date for the three-year-old Financial Wellness Collaborative, a joint project led by nonprofit business incubator Propeller with help from Thrive New Orleans and Fund 17, two entrepreneurial support organizations. The program aims to improve the success rate of startups through education, one-on-one coaching and connections to lenders. It offers ﬁnancial coaching, loan pack-

age preparation, accounting support, credit counseling and help with licensing and credentials. Since 2022, the program says it has helped nearly 400 entrepreneurs and program participants. The three nonprofits that created the collaborative each serve slightly different markets. Propeller supports ventures that have a positive impact on the community. Fund17 serves early-stage ventures. And Thrive is focused on startups working in green infrastructure. The program teaches entrepreneurs how to manage their taxes, improve their chances of getting a loan and boost their personal business credit scores. The focus on one-on-one assistance helps “build trust and

relationship over time as businesses grow,” said Victoria Adams Phipps, JPMorganChase vice president of global philanthropy, who said the organizations have built strong relationships with loan ofﬁcers who are transparent about the reasons why someone may get a loan or not. Phipps said the Propeller team reached out to her three years ago to pitch a new partnership. “Many of the companies they were in conversation with were lacking critical inputs that were necessary to facilitate growth,” she said at Tuesday’s event. “That might have been access to networks, expertise or customers. But for many of them, it was access to capital that was hindering their progress.”

The goal of the collaborative was to address that need. Lenders participating in the program include New Orleans-based Liberty Bank, along with Hope Credit Union of Jackson, Mississippi, and two national community development financial institutions: TruFund and LiftFund. “We supported that initial pilot of the work back in 2022, and we were thrilled to see that the model worked,” said Phipps, who works in several states but is based in New Orleans. Some of the small-business owners who have benefited from the program were at Tuesday’s event, including Travis Williams of Nola Steele. He said the program has helped his company build its back office and obtain capital.

Authorities say Israel kills 44 waiting for aid BY WAFAA SHURAFA and SAMY MAGDY Associated Press

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli forces and drones opened fire toward hundreds of Palestinians waiting for aid in separate incidents in southern and central Gaza early Tuesday, killing at least 44, witnesses and hospitals said, as health authorities announced the number of Palestinians killed in the war has risen above 56,000. Palestinian witnesses and health officials say Israeli forces have repeatedly opened fire on crowds heading toward desperately needed food, killing hundreds in recent weeks. The military says it has fired warning shots at people it said approached its forces in a suspicious manner. In central Gaza, three witnesses told The Associated Press that Israeli forces opened fire as people advanced east toward aid trucks south of Wadi Gaza. “It was a massacre,” said Ahmed Halawa. He said tanks and drones fired at people, “even as we were fleeing. Many people were either martyred or wounded.” Hossam Abu Shahada said drones were flying over the area, watching the crowds, then there was gunfire from

He described a “chaotic and bloody” scene as people tried to escape. He said he saw at least three people lying motionless and many others wounded. Israel’s military said it was reviewing the incident, which took place near the Netzarim corridor, a road that separates northern and southern Gaza. The Awda hospital in the urban Nuseirat refugee camp, which received the victims, conﬁrmed 25 deaths and said 146 others were wounded. It said 62 were in critical condition and trans-

ferred to other hospitals. In the central town of Deir al-Balah, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital said it received the bodies of six people from the same incident. In the southernmost city of Rafah, witnesses said Israeli troops opened ﬁre as crowds tried to reach a food distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. At least 19 were killed and 50 others wounded, according to Nasser hospital and Gaza’s Health Ministry. The new distribution sites run by an American contractor, with U.S. and Israeli government support, have been plagued by scenes of vio-

lence and chaos since opening last month. The GHF sites are in Israeli military zones where independent media have no access. The Trump administration has authorized providing $30 million to the GHF, a U.S. ofﬁcial said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive diplomatic issue involving a controversial aid program. Two witnesses said Israeli troops started ﬁring as thousands of Palestinians massed at the Shakoush area, several hundred meters from the distribution site. The Israeli military did not immediately return a request for comment. Salem Ismail was in the crowd and was shot in a leg. He said he saw forces firing towards the crowd who were moving north toward the site. Ayman Abu Joda said he

saw heavy gunfire from Israeli tanks and that many people were shot. He said he helped evacuate three wounded people, one hit in the chest and two in the legs. “It was the same tragedy every day: We seek food and the occupation opens fire and kills many,” he said. The casualty toll was confirmed to The Associated Press by Zaher al-Waheidi, head of the Health Ministry’s records department. The GHF said on social media its hub there opened Tuesday at 10 a.m. and closed after finishing food distribution. It called on people not to head to the hub. Israel wants the GHF to replace a system coordinated by the United Nations and international aid groups. Along with the United States, it accuses Hamas of stealing aid, without offering evidence. The U.N. denies there is sys-

LOS ANGELES — A Washington state man who was charged with aiding the bomber of a fertility clinic in Southern California died Tuesday in federal custody, just weeks after his arrest, prison ofﬁcials said. Daniel Park, 32, was accused of supplying chemicals to Guy Edward Bartkus of California, the bomber, who died in the May 17 explosion. Park, of suburban Seattle, was found unresponsive at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles Tuesday morning and was pronounced dead at a hospital, the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement. No cause of death was provided. The two men connected in fringe online forums over their shared beliefs against human procreation, investigators said. The blast gutted the clinic in Palm Springs, east of Los Angeles, and shattered the windows of nearby buildings, with ofﬁcials calling the attack terrorism. The facility was closed, and no embryos were damaged. Park shipped 180 pounds of ammonium nitrate to Bartkus in January and bought another 90 pounds and had it shipped to him days before the explosion, investigators said. Park purchased ammonium nitrate online in several transactions between

October 2022 and May 2025, according to a federal complaint. Authorities said Park traveled to Twentynine Palms, California, near Palm Springs, to experiment with explosives in Bartkus’ garage months before the attack. Three days before Park visited him in January, Bartkus asked an AI chat application about explosives, detonation velocity, diesel and gasoline mixtures, the complaint said. The discussion centered on how to create the most powerful blast. Park was taken into custody at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport on June 3, after he was extradited from Poland, where he fled four days after the attack. Park had been charged with providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists. He had been at Metropolitan Detention Center since June 13, federal prison officials said. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, which is prosecuting the case, referred questions about Park’s death to the Bureau of Prisons. Park and Bartkus bonded over a “shared belief that people shouldn’t exist,” Akil Davis, the FBI’s assistant director in charge, said earlier this month. They believed in anti-natalism, a fringe theory that opposes childbirth and population growth and contends

that people should not continue to procreate. Ofﬁcials said Bartkus intentionally targeted the American Reproductive Centers, a clinic that provides services to help people get pregnant, including in vitro fertilization and fertility evaluations. Park appeared to be a frequent poster in an anti-natalist Reddit forum going back nearly a decade, according to court papers. In 2016, he spoke of recruiting others to the movement, which he described as hopeful. According to court papers, he wrote: “When people are lost and distraught, death is always an option.” Relatives told federal investigators that Park had made “pro-mortalist” statements since high school, according to the complaint. More recently, in March, he posted in the forum to say he was seeking to ﬁnd fellow anti-natalists in and around Washington state to “start some protests or just any inperson events,” according to court papers. The post did not receive any public comments. The Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles is also used to detain people arrested for immigration violations. It’s been the site of many recent protests over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, and Trump has deployed the National Guard to stand guard outside the facility.

Gaza death toll over 56K Meanwhile, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israel’s 21-month military operation in Gaza has killed 56,077 people. The war was sparked by Hamas’ surprise attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that killed around 1,200 people dead, mostly civilians, and took 251 others hostage. Many have been released by ceasefire or other agreements. The death toll is by far the highest in any round of Israeli-Palestinian fighting. The ministry said the dead include 5,759 who have been killed since Israel resumed fighting on March 18, shattering a two-month ceasefire. The ministry doesn’t distinguish between civilians and combatants but says more than half of the dead were women and children.

TIGERS WIN EIGHTH NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

STAFF PHOTO By HILARy SCHEINUK

The Tigers celebrate after defeating Coastal Carolina 5-3 in game two of the College World Series finals in Omaha, Nebraska, on Sunday. The roar is restored. When Jay Johnson took over as the LSU baseball coach in 2022, the six-time national champion Tigers were in the midst of a 13-year title drought. The Tigers returned to the top of college baseball during the 2023 season. LSU survived a dicey regional that went to a winner-take-all final at Alex Box Stadium against upstart Little Rock. Then LSU dominated, sweeping the super regional and College World Series in seven games. After Sunday and Johnson’s second national title, he has LSU threatening to reboot a dynasty that blossomed under legendary coach Skip Bertman. No. 8 is on its way to Baton Rouge.

OMAHA, Neb. — To call anything a dynasty requires a certain level of consistent, championship excellence. The Boston Celtics in the 60s, New York Yankees in the 90s and UConn women’s basketball in the 2010s certainly fit the description. LSU winning five national championships in 10 years under Skip Bertman definitely qualifies. Coach Jay Johnson’s Tigers aren’t quite there yet, but what LSU accomplished Sunday afternoon at Charles Schwab Field was remarkable nevertheless and potentially the beginning of another baseball dynasty in Baton Rouge. For the eighth time in program history, and for

the second time in three seasons, LSU won the national championship. The Tigers took down Coastal Carolina 5-3 in Game 2 of the College World Series ﬁnal to secure the 2025 title. “Unbelievable. I’m so proud right now,” Johnson said. “It’s not to be taken for granted being here two years ago. That was special. Greatest night of my life. “This is equal and maybe even tops it in some ways.” The win secured Johnson’s second title in four years at LSU, making him the ﬁrst coach in college baseball history to accomplish that feat at the same school. The Tigers did it despite bringing back just 12 players who appeared in a game from last year’s team, adding 12 players from the transfer portal,

three junior-college recruits and 10 freshmen in the offseason. “We (added) really talented freshmen ...,” Johnson said. “In a month’s time, we were able to add Chris (Stanﬁeld). We were able to add Anthony (Eyanson), Zac Cowan, Luis Hernandez, Danny Dickinson to those 12 guys who were the right 12 guys.” With the score tied 1-1, the fourth inning proved to be the difference between a coronation and a Game 3 on Monday. The Tigers scored four runs on a walk, a hit by pitch and four singles to take a 5-1 lead. Sophomore Jake Brown led off with a walk before a single from junior Jared Jones and a hit by pitch loaded the bases for the junior Stanﬁeld.

Cantrell sued over garbage contract 2 French Quarter property owners decry $73M deal

BY SOPHIE KASAKOVE Staff writer

Mayor LaToya Cantrell faces yet another challenge in a multipronged legal battle over the fate of sanitation services in the French Quarter, as two French Quarter property owners have sued the mayor over her selection of a new vendor for that work. In a lawsuit ﬁled against Cantrell

on Monday, Daniel Conwill, owner of Felix’s Restaurant & Oyster Bar on Bienville Street, and Marina Costopoulos, a French Quarter resident, argue that the mayor’s $73 million deal with Henry Consulting is improper and would worsen trash pickup services. The lawsuit comes as Cantrell is already ﬁghting legal challenges with the New Orleans City Council over the deal, under which Henry

Trial against Coroner’s Office wraps up

Consulting, the firm of business owner and developer Troy Henry, would work with Richard’s Disposal to handle trash pickup in the area Aug. 1. Henry would take over duties handled by IV Waste, the ﬁrm of business owner and developer Sidney Torres IV. “Mr. Conwill and Felix’s are completely satisﬁed with the services that Felix’s currently receives

from IV Waste,” Conwill and Costopoulos’ attorney, Leonard Levenson, wrote in the lawsuit. “IV Waste’s services further help increase the number of Felix’s guests by making the area surrounding his restaurant more appealing.” A spokesperson for Cantrell said the city is unable to comment on pending litigation. Henry did not respond to a request for comment and Torres declined comment. Residents and business owners have rallied around IV Waste in

recent months, with many posting signs in support of the ﬁrm around the neighborhood. Backers say the French Quarter appears cleaner than ever and have lauded the lemony spray the ﬁrm uses to keep streets fresh. Lingering resentment from property owners over the city’s failure to maintain trash services in the aftermath of 2021’s Hurricane Ida has raised the stakes of the contracting issue. Richard’s

McKenna’s agency accused of negligence BY BEN MYERS Staff writer

A trial over alleged negligence by the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office ended Tuesday without a verdict after emotional testimony by Sidney Smith, who searched for his missing son for nearly a month before discovering that the coroner had his body all along. Sidney Smith said he filed a missing-person report for his son, 42-year-old Justin Smith. He got the coroner to issue an order for protective custody to force his son into treatment for mental illness and drug addiction, and he tried to get another one 72 hours later after the first expired. The coroner’s staff denied the second order because Sidney Smith didn’t know where his son was. No one thought to check the morgue, where Justin Smith’s body had been delivered two days earlier. That’s where it remained — unidentified — for the next three weeks while Sidney Smith searched. Justin Smith’s psychiatrist Janet Bradley finally called the morgue and learned of two unidentified bodies matching Justin Smith’s description. Sidney Smith again visited the coroner, this time with photos. “Yeah, we got him,” Sidney Smith recalled a staffer telling him with a blank expression. “And that’s when my world ended.” Sidney Smith’s testimony and capped the second trial this year over allegations the Coroner’s Office recklessly abdicated its duty, under state law, to identify bodies and “make every reasonable effort” to notify next of kin. The first trial, involving an identification error that wasn’t corrected for months, ended with a Civil District Court judgment against Coroner Dwight McKenna’s office, which McKenna, who is up for reelection this year, is appealing. Judge Marissa Hutabarat asked for post-trial briefs in the Justin Smith case by the end of the week. She did not say when she would rule. A lawyer for the coroner, Charles Caccione, blamed the New Orleans Police Department for the delay in identifying Justin Smith, since an air-conditioning outage at NOPD headquarters prevented the department from running his fingerprints. Next time, he said, the coroner will immediately seek assistance from another agency. “We now have the benefit of knowledge. Was this outrageous or intentional conduct? No, it’s unfortunate. It’s horrible, but the coroner couldn’t predict it,” Caccione said. A deputy city attorney, Gabrielle Wilson, who defended the NOPD, likened the coroner’s inaction to

Six arrested in drug New Orleans police raid, State Police say detail man fatally shot Two Algiers properties seized

BY MISSY WILKINSON Staff writer

A monthslong investigation into an illegal drug distribution network spanning Orleans and Jefferson parishes led this week to the arrests of six people and the seizure of two Algiers properties, Louisiana State Police said. Most of those arrested were booked on drug counts following a raid Monday that included agents from State Police, the New Orleans Police Department, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, the FBI and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

Sgt. Kate Stegall, of the State Police, conﬁrmed the probe targeted a suspected “high intensity drug trafficking area” encompassing 1723 General De Gaulle Drive and 1700 Erie St., in the shadow of the Crescent City Connection. Authorities executed six search warrants across Jefferson and Orleans parishes. They turned up $6,000 cash and about half a pound of illegal drugs including cocaine, fentanyl and MDMA, along with drug-dealing gear, according to a statement from State Police. The shuttered business included a tire shop, a restaurant and a carwash along General De

Livingston Parish Trial date set for seeks big industries ex-wildlife secretary Leaders reinstate development board BY CLAIRE GRUNEWALD Staff writer

Livingston Parish is bringing back its industrial development board in hopes of attracting major industries. The Parish Council reinstated the board at its June meeting. The move came out of efforts from Livingston Parish Economic Development Council President Melody Lockwood, who has been spearheading efforts since she started on the job in the fall. The board has been dormant since the early 1980s. Lockwood said it was important to reinstate the board because the parish has no local incentives to offer industries, unlike surrounding parishes. “It’s hard for us to compete when we can’t offer the same benefits that they have in other parishes,” Lockwood told the council. The goal of the board is to help attract new industries by negotiating local incentives with businesses that are interested in coming to the parish. The goal is to create more local jobs and ease tax burdens on residents, according to Parish President Randy Delatte The board will have eight appointees: four from the Parish Council, one from the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce, one from the parish president, one from the school system and one from the economic council, Delatte said. Once board members are appointed, the next step is to install a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes program,

skipping work after missing the bus. “It’s my job to be there,” Wilson said. “If somebody else doesn’t come pick me up, I can’t tell my boss I’m not coming to work today because the one way I arranged didn’t work out.”

‘Not about money’ Sidney Smith said his son had lived with him since he was a teenager. The two were extraordinarily close, despite his son’s on-and-off relationship with his medication. Sidney Smith said his son was sweet-natured and known for hugging everyone he knew, including the concierges at downtown hotels where he distributed brochures for Sidney Smith’s tour business. “After he died, I had so many concierges in tears talking to me,” Sidney Smith recalled. “My son and

The seized properties are valued at nearly $400,000, according to State Police. Albert Morris, whose family owns the properties, did not respond Tuesday to a request for comment. Following Monday’s raid, Morris said he was seeking information from Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams’ ofﬁce, which placed a “notice of pending forfeiture” on a temporary fence police erected on the Gen. De Gaulle property. “Our ofﬁce assisted NOPD asset forfeiture detectives in obtaining a seizure warrant to initiate the forfeiture process on multiple addresses based upon credible evidence linking illegal conduct to those locations,” Williams said Tuesday in an emailed statement. “We’re examining new details

Delatte said. Governments can enter payment in lieu of taxes, or PILOT programs, with companies. It is an incentive used to attract new businesses to an area. Under the program, a business would get an exemption on annual property tax payments, which would allow them to pay smaller amounts to the government if they meet thresholds for job creation and economic impact. Neighboring parishes, like Ascension and East Baton Rouge, already take advantage of the incentive. A PILOT was used to develop an Amazon fulﬁllment center at the former Cortana Mall site in Baton Rouge. Delatte said the parish lost two businesses last month because it doesn’t have an established PILOT program that would have helped provide local incentives, like lower taxes, to those businesses. “Everyone else around us has it; we’re at a disadvantage,” he said. Lockwood said that using a PILOT program over other tax incentives would give the parish more power when making deals with new businesses. She said a PILOT allows the parish to actually negotiate with a company and offer changes in order to close a deal. That is in comparison to the state’s Industrial Tax Exemption Program, which is more ironclad and can’t be changed by parishes. “With a PILOT you at least have a seat at the table,” she said. Once Lockwood has appointees for the board, she will present them to the Parish Council sometime in the next few months to move forward in the process.

Montoucet accused in bribery scheme

BY CLAIRE TAYLOR Staff writer

A trial date has been set for former Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Jack Montoucet for his alleged involvement in a kickback scheme that led to his resignation. A federal grand jury in Lafayette indicted Montoucet in May, charging him with one count of conspiracy to commit bribery and wire fraud, three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering in a scheme to award a Lafayette businessman a LDWF contract. Montoucet, 77, pleaded not guilty June 12 and was released on an unsecured bond. Federal Magistrate Judge Carol Whitehurst, of Louisiana’s western district in Lafayette, on Monday set Montoucet’s trial date before federal Judge David Joseph for 9 a.m. May 11. Montoucet, a former state legislator from Acadiana, served as LDWF secretary from January 2017 until April 2023, when he abruptly resigned a day after The Times-Picayune | The Advocate identiﬁed him as the highranking department ofﬁcial who signed a contract that implicated him in a kickback scheme. The indictment alleges Montoucet and Dusty Guidry, a Youngsville man and unpaid appointee to the Wildlife and

I were inseparable. I was with him almost every minute of every day.” Sidney Smith, who has terminal cancer and said he expects to die within the year, said he was appalled by McKenna’s comments in a WDSU interview last month claiming Sidney Smith and other plaintiffs should have spent more time with their loved ones. “If you had spent the time you’re taking now to go after us, and had spent that time with them, maybe they wouldn’t have wound up in my morgue,” McKenna said. McKenna also said plaintiffs are trying to “profiteer” from their loved ones’ deaths. Sidney Smith said he will likely die before seeing any money from a favorable ruling. “This is not about money for me,” Sidney Smith said. “It’s about future families, past families and present families being disrespected by this Coroner’s Ofﬁce.”

Fisheries Commission, conspired to award a state contract to DGL1, a company run by Lafayette businessman Leonard Franques, to provide online educational boating and hunting courses, some of them taken by sportsmen to resolve citations received from LDWF agents. In a May 21 news release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office alleged that Guidry “was placed on the (LDWF) commission by and would take actions as directed by Montoucet.” From about May 2020 until June 2022, the three men allegedly conspired in a kickback scheme in which DGL1 would allegedly reserve for Montoucet and Guidry some of the money it received from those taking the online courses. The indictment alleges $122,508 was held as a kickback for Montoucet until he completed his term as LDWF secretary. After Montoucet’s retirement, Franques and Guidry allegedly were supposed to hire Montoucet and pay his kickbacks as a purported “signing bonus,” in order to conceal the true nature of the funds. Franques pleaded guilty in January in a plea deal with federal prosecutors to one felony count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. Guidry pleaded guilty in April of 2023 for his alleged involvement in the LDWF scheme and another involving the pretrial diversion program in the 15th Judicial District Attorney’s Ofﬁce in Lafayette. Neither has been sentenced.

cord, and the case reflects those extraordinary circumstances. An air conditioning failure at NOPD headquarters made the building uninhabitable and knocked the department’s fingerprinting machine out of service. The coroner relies on the NOPD for fingerprinting services, an arrangement that has been in place so long that McKenna and his chief investigator, Brian Lapeyrolerie, have said it’s understood to be the NOPD’s job. McKenna’s office has blamed the failures on the NOPD in both lawsuits, since they both involved fingerprinting. In the earlier case, the NOPD misspelled Benjamin Pfantz’s last name as “Peantz” after fingerprinting him. In Justin Smith’s case, fingerprints were taken but never analyzed. In both cases, the coroner made no additional efforts after receiving bad or no information from the Liable for inaction? NOPD.

means, and courts are now pondering what level of effort is required. The judge in the Pfantz case, Kern Reese, found the coroner’s inaction in the Pfantz case amounted to “reckless and outrageous misconduct.” In his order, Reese said the coroner missed a “red flag” when a public records search for the misspelled name turned up no results. McKenna’s office operates without clear procedures and training protocols for death investigations, according to testimony from Lapeyrolerie, who sat for hours of questioning in both cases. McKenna was not present. Lapeyrolerie has acknowledged the coroner’s legal obligation to identify bodies, but waffled when asked in both cases whether the office could have done more, or if policies and procedures should be adopted to prevent future mistakes.

in May declined the council’s request that it enforce Civil District Court Judge Paulette Irons’ stay on her order, a separate council bid to block Cantrell from putting Henry to work. Meanwhile, the council has worked to strip contracting power from Cantrell at the state level, working with Sen. Jimmy Harris, D-New Orleans, to let the 13-member French Quarter Management District board enter into emergency contracts in the French Quarter. Gov. Jeff Landry signed that bill into law earlier this month. Harris and Council

President JP Morrell have said the French Quarter Management District’s action will prevent trash from piling up in the French Quarter. Jane Cooper, chair of the French Quarter Management District, said Tuesday that the board is “looking at our options” for how to use its new contracting authority but declined to share details.

Two Civil District Court judges have challenged that ordinance, ruling that the council has no right to approve those contracts. The council appealed in both cases and both judges have stayed their orders pending appeal, which council members, and now Conwill and Costopoulos, argue maintains the council’s authority to execute Henry’s contract for now.

Continued from page 1B 13 years ago, and I thought that would be the hardest thing I would have to do until I lost my child.” Aples was the youngest of Eddington’s three children. Born and raised in New Orleans East, he was an energetic child who was gregarious and athletic, she said. He developed a love of music after receiving a keyboard as a present, according to Eddington. While attending Sarah T. Reed High School in New Orleans, Aples was a member of the band’s drum section and played the cymbals, she said. Aples was displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and moved to Houston, Texas, Eddington said. He had three children, sons Zion and Zakai and daughter Za’rhya. But Aples’ world shattered in 2017 when Za’rhya died of a rare and aggressive cancer, according to Eddington. “His little girl died in his arms,” Eddington said. She recalled a car ride during which Za’rhya became inconsolable on the back seat, crying and reaching for Aples. He immediately pulled over on the side of the road, climbed into the back seat and began talking to her. It was mostly toddler-gibberish to Eddington. “He understood her. Her big bow on her head had fallen off and was lodged in the seat,” she said. “He reached down and put it back on her head, and she stopped crying. It was just so touching to see how patient he was with her.” Aples was also close with his sons, Eddington said. His fun-loving nature earned him the title of favorite uncle with others in the extended family, according to his mother. “That’s what all his nieces and nephews would say. I call him the ‘children whisperer,’ ” Eddington said. “All my grandchildren and great-grandchildren are heartbroken. They are simply heartbroken.” Aples cited his oldest son as his inspiration when, in November, he represented the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce in the Battle of the Badges, a friendly amateur boxing bout that pits local law enforcement against firefighters who spar for charity. “He won,” said Eddington, who had been worried sick about him being matched against opponent who was in his 20s. Aples had a huge family spread across the country who are expected to travel to the New Orleans area next week for his funeral services. “This is just unbelievable that something like this would happen,” Eddington said. “He was just such a good guy. He was always helping somebody.” A funeral for Aples will be held July 5 at New Orleans Funeral and Cremation Service, 9200 Interstate 10 Service Road, New Orleans. The viewing will be held at 10 a.m. Funeral services start at 11 a.m. Email Michelle Hunter at mhunter@theadvocate.com.

Leon earned his Bachelor of Science de‐ gree in Industrial Technol‐ ogy from Southern Univer‐ sity of Baton Rouge in 1969.

As a re‐ sult of his stern no non‐ sense approach to educa‐ tion, Job Corp reassigned his position to that of In‐ structor/Career Developer so that he was the initial contact instructor for all students to incoming firmly establish the only acceptable behavioral pat‐ tern of each student. In ad‐ dition to being an amaz‐ ingly outstanding husband, father, grandfather and ed‐ ucator Leon was commit‐ ted to making everything in the community and envi‐ ronment better, safer, and more beautiful.

Jackson, Gloria Stewart

the most beautiful parts of her life. Their love was rooted in faith, patience and deep devotion. She didn’t just love him in words, she showed it in every small act of care and every moment they shared at the Saints game. She got her education in Orleans Parish Schools and re‐ ceived her degree in Edu‐ cation from Southern Uni‐ versity Baton Rouge. She believed in the power of education and became a school teacher in Orleans Parish until she retired at Danneel Elementary. She was a member of several social pleasure clubs like the 49ers. She loved travel‐ ling, playing bridge and bowling with them. She was a proud member of First Street Peck Wesley United Methodist Church. Since she was a little girl, she participated in Sunday school, the youth fellow‐ ship group then she served on the ﬁnance committee until she couldn’t serve anymore.

Martina, Mary Margaret Keenan Sansovich

Mary Margaret Keenan Sansovich Martina passed away on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, three months shy of her 95th birthday. Beloved wife of the late Norman F. Martina, and the late Lucas C. Sansovich, Jr. (by first Mother of marriage). Danny (Karen), the late Joseph C., Susan S. Ricks (Charles), Jimmy (Caro‐ line), and Margaret S. The proud Sansovich. “MiMi” to her grandchil‐ dren Lauren P. Sansovich, Sansovich, Mark Emily Ricks (Rebecca), Nicole Calkins (Kyle), Christine Luke Sansovich, Ricks, James Sansovich (Hattie), Sarah Sansovich, and great Eli and grandchildren Dylan Prats, and Easton and Olivia Calkins. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Mary Margaret was the daughter of the late Arthur J. Keenan Margaret Flynn and Keenan. She was prede‐ ceased by siblings Arthur J. Kennan, Jr., Elaine K. Lyon, Rose Marie K. Dauzat, and John B. Keenan. Mary Mar‐ garet was born and raised in New Orleans, but spent most of her life in Metairie. She was a proud graduate of Academy of Holy Angels, and an equally proud grad‐ uate of Loyola University with a Bachelor’s of Music degree. She was blessed with an amazing voice and once sang with local opera Norman Tregle. legend However, she ironically also had stage fright and shared her singing gift with her children while singing around the house, or by her participation in church choirs, which she did for much of her life. Her love of Faith and Family guided Mary Margaret her entire life as a devoted wife and mother. She was a devout Catholic and truly lived a life guided by Christ. In keeping with her faith, Mary Margaret was a firm believer in “the right to life” of every child God allows to be conceived. She never refused to help others when asked, and frequently helped without being asked, while at the same time being humble and rarely asking for help or feeling worthy of help up until her last days. She often put the needs of oth‐ ers before her own needs and did so with grace and compassion. She was the definition of resilience, having faced and over‐ come many serious trials and tribulations for much of her life. In spite of these difficulties, she always pointed out how blessed she was, a true hero to all those who loved her. She was very fond of garden‐ ing, traveling, family re‐ unions, going to the the‐ ater, and could cook a mean roast. She always looked forward to her prayer group. She was an active member of what‐ ever church parish she lived in, from choir mem‐ ber to Eucharistic Minister. In the end though, she will always be “MiMi” to those who were blessed to know and love her. Though Mary Margaret loved them, in lieu of flowers, she re‐

OUR VIEWS

Tackling absenteeism is next step in improving La. schools We have tracked the gains in Louisiana students’ educational achievement with a sense of pride, noting how the state became a standout across the nation in fourth grade reading scores after the pandemic. We have lauded the evidence-based strategies laid out by Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley and others that focus on basics and emphasize increased support for those lagging behind. But there is a group that is not benefiting from this rising tide. And those are students who are chronically absent from school. We are pleased to see that the state is addressing this problem with a new program called “Power of Presence” that seeks to reduce chronic absenteeism by 2% each year. If successful, that would mean 45,000 more children regularly attending school by the 2027-28 school year. The initiative gives districts guidelines to boost attendance using simple strategies for prevention and intervention at the community level — actions like sending notes home after a student has several absences and sitting down with at-risk students to work on solutions. It was piloted for two years by Baker High School, which saw its share of chronically absent students decline by 13 percentage points. That’s impressive, and we hope it will work in other schools. Louisiana, for all its education success in recent years, is one of the few states that has seen an uptick in chronic absenteeism. Last year, nearly 1 in 4 students were classified as chronically absent, up three percentage points from the previous year, state data shows. Bringing these students back to the classroom on a consistent basis is key to our continued educational success. We are glad to see that state leaders are not simply resting on their laurels and instead are constantly seeking out ways to serve our students well. High rates of absenteeism and truancy can lead to lower test scores and put students on a path that ends up in the criminal justice system, studies show. The “Power of Presence” guidelines give districts a framework they can use to attack the problem by engaging with students and parents, not just punishing them. And while no district is required to use the guidelines, state officials say they will be actively working with districts facing high rates of absenteeism. It also helps put districts on the same page when it comes to tracking absences, using the same criteria on when to label absences excused or unexcused. This uniformity should help the state identify where problems are most acute. We cannot highlight the work of the state Department of Education enough. Brumley and his team are showing daily what a difference it makes to have competent leadership laser-focused on solving issues our state has struggled with for decades. Too often in Louisiana, we resign ourselves to believing that this is just how it is, change will never come. That’s one lesson we need to unlearn.

Consider the health effects of LIT

Catholic faithful should consider making amends to abuse survivors In the new ﬁnancial proposal to end the bankruptcy of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, attorney Robert Salim told Bloomberg Law that it was “woefully inadequate to address the harms these people [survivors] have endured.” That’s true and more. What hasn’t been mentioned is what this could mean for Roman Catholics as members of this institution. Survivors can receive any ﬁnancial settlement, the archdiocese can make all the nonmonetary proposals it can, but all members must take this personally to listen to the suffering of survivors to show that all members care whether survivors are healing or not. Meaningful healing won’t come alone from the archbishop, the bankruptcy or the Vatican, which should institute zero tolerance policy for abuse. Some lawyers for survivors say the deal falls about $100 million short. There is a Catholic in our midst who could eas-

ily contribute that. Not because of guilt, but for love of the church community that has given them so very much in encouragement, which has contributed to their professional and personal success. This could set a tone for other individual members to take responsibility for ending clergy sex abuse in their own way. Such a monetary offering would have to remain forever anonymous to inspire all Catholics. St. Francis understood when he heard, “Go and rebuild my church.” We know it’s not the buildings, the church at San Damiano or the St. Louis Cathedral. There are so many ways Catholics can help rebuild not only their church community but any of the lives of people who aren’t Catholic or Christian or who are clergy sex abuse survivors but may have left the church for their own selfrespect and self-love.

I received a lung transplant on April 24, 2023. This was after nearly five years on oxygen because of fibrosis in my lung. The final diagnosis was hypersensivity pneumonitis, an immune response to pollutants in the air. After long exposure, your body responds. Unfortunately, that reaction is potentially deadly. A variety of diseases result from such toxins, and the organs impacted are not limited to lungs. That demands a study. St. Bernard has exceeded its mandated limit on air quality. Louisiana DEQ has established that. How many people suffer from respiratory disease who live or have lived in our parish? How many more become ill? That is the true measure of how dangerous our environment is now. Try to imagine the negative impact the Louisiana International Terminal will have on an already stressed air quality. 1,700 diesel trucks per day — that’s leaving the terminal. The same number will be coming into the parish. That makes 3,400 large trucks. Add to that exhaust from tugs, the ships’ engines — which are never stopped — trains and ancillary equipment. There are many solid arguments opposing the LIT, but none so strong as the negative impacts on residents’ health. This forced my family to move from the parish at the strong advice of my Houston transplant team. I was told that if I stayed, it would likely happen again, only sooner, because of immune suppression. To put it bluntly, LIT is a threat to health. St. Bernard must take a strong stand against it. Lives depend on it.

HENRY ANDRE FOURROUX III New Orleans

No alternative in place for coastal project Steve Cochran’s guest column on the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion nailed the reasons why Gov. Jeff Landry is attempting to stop this project. It appears Landry is more interested in moving the funding for the diversion to his projects and their contractors, rather than implementing the Louisiana Coastal Master Plan. Imagine the “good will” Landry will generate for himself by awarding billions of dollars in construction contracts. The Louisiana Coastal Master Plan, developed by the state’s own Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, is anchored in 20 years of science-based research. The plan was

approved by the Army Corps of Engineers and supported by three previous governors and by every environmental organization in Louisiana. At this point, we have not heard what makes up Landry’s coastal plan and whether or not it will be developed through a transparent public process. We call on our Louisiana legislators to stop Landry from dismantling the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion developed by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority. How many more years must Louisiana wait before we begin rebuilding our coast?

R. LARRY SCHMIDT New Orleans

Race through Metairie cemetery was in poor taste TO SEND US A LETTER, SCAN HERE

I wish to convey how appalled I am that the Preservation Resource Center and Lake Lawn Metairie Cemeteries recently allowed a race to be run throughout Metairie Cemetery with the supposedly noble goal of raising money for the Preservation Resource Center, replete with raucous cheering, pounding feet and an unctuous PRC rep who sat on the steps of his ancestor’s grave in his shorts pontiﬁcating the reasons behind this tasteless activity. As someone with both parents buried there, and who will probably rest there when my time comes, I cannot believe this activity was even suggested, much

less permitted to be held on hallowed ground. It cheapened all the departed buried there in the name of raising the almighty dollar for the PRC. As a regional writer who values and cherishes Louisiana culture and history, I am all for its preservation, but this race could have been held at a different location with the same fundraising goal. I don’t care whose relative is buried there and who was instrumental in the PRC, that’s no excuse for this cheap, tacky and insulting desecration. Next time, they should try City Park.

cil Vice President Helena Moreno polled at 37%. In May’s polling, Hunter jumped to 11%, Thomas rose to 23% and Moreno leapt to 52%. That’s great for Moreno, good for Thomas and promising for Hunter. There are other candidates in the race, but these three will split most of the Black vote. Thomas, who has won each of his City Council races and has strong Black community support, is capturing most of the Black vote at the moment. Moreno, who has won every election she’s run since 2010 and done so with lots of Black support, is behind Thomas but doing well enough with Black voters. Hunter has been seen as a long shot, but moving from 2% to 11% shows momentum — and that could hurt Thomas. Thomas has to ﬁre up more Black voters while building more of a coalition. He has the kind of street cred that isn’t captured in most polls, but that has to translate into votes. Thomas needs 50%-60% of the Black vote to have a shot at getting into a runoff with Moreno. Think Ray Nagin versus Mitch Landrieu in 2006. Nagin, who was elected with strong White support the ﬁrst time, won reelection with about 65% of the Black vote. Hunter has to continue to build momentum and move from low double digits to at least high teens this summer to attract more donors. The Black vote is still important in mayoral politics — even if the math is complicated. Email Will Sutton at wsutton@ theadvocate.com.

Trump did the right thing with Iran In ordering the bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran, President Donald Trump did the right thing, for the right reason, and at the right time. As usual, some in the major media got it wrong. The New York Times initially headlined: “U.S. Enters War Against Iran.” A Washington Post editorial said: “Trump did not prepare America for his war with Iran.” Cal The U.S. has effectiveThomas ly been at war with Iran since 1979, when “Iranian students” seized the American Embassy in Tehran and held 52 Americans hostages for 444 days before releasing them, apparently fearing what incoming president Ronald Reagan might do. Trump turned that fear into a reality. In a brief Saturday night address, the president said all of Iran’s nuclear capabilities were “obliterated,” though the extent of the damage has not yet been conﬁrmed. He then warned any retaliatory strikes on Americans would be met with even more disaster for the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Addressing the “are we, or are we not at war with Iran,” the president said: “For 40 years, Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs, with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over 1,000 people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East, and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate. ... So many were killed by their general, Qassim Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue.” Khamenei has reportedly retreated to a bunker, as did Adolf Hitler at the end of World War II. The difference is that Hitler committed suicide fearing capture by the Allies while Khamenei is said to be naming his successors should he be killed and is reported to have said he is willing to die as a martyr. This is another major difference between the two leaders. The defeat of Hitler squashed Nazism in Germany. Should Khamenei be toppled, it won’t completely defeat radical Islamism. That’s because it is a virus that does

Some feckless European leaders were still pushing the diplomatic track, despite violations by Iran of previous agreements, until the bombing began. A few still are. Democrats are talking impeachment again (yawn). They ignore that their Nobel Peace Prize president, Barack Obama, bombed targets in seven countries during his two terms without congressional authorization. The isolationists have again been isolated. As former Israeli diplomat Yoram Ettinger has correctly stated in his newsletter: “The well-intentioned wish of Isolationists to militarily disengage from Islamic terrorism, establish peaceful coexistence, and be preoccupied with the domestic agenda, must be based on global and Middle East reality; not on alternative reality. Thus,

since the Muslim Barbary pirates of the early 19th century, irrespective of U.S. policy, Sunni and Shiite Islamic terrorism has been determined NOT to disengage from — but to intimidate, terrorize and subjugate — the ‘inﬁdel’ West, and especially the ‘Great American Satan,’ while establishing Islam as the only legitimate, divinely ordained religion on earth.” An act of war is a tough decision for any president, but when the world is already at war with Islamic terrorism, there can be no compromise. Failure to have attacked those nuclear sites would have put not only Israel at risk of destruction, but the U.S. in greater peril. Trump’s bold decision to end the talking and act against an evil menace could change the entire dynamic of the Middle East. Others have tried and failed. Trump may have just succeeded.

Did you miss a holiday, Mr. President?

Juneteenth came and went Thursday, but curiously, something seemed to be missing from the annual celebration: a cordial salute from the president of the United States. Well, sure, you might say at this point in our political history, after all, he’s Donald Trump. What do we expect? The only times when the master of Mar-a-Lago brings up a delicate topic like America’s troubled racial history is when he Clarence can use it to bludgeon Democrats Page and other liberals. But it wasn’t long ago that Trump regularly made a point to mark Juneteenth, the holiday that honors the freeing of enslaved Americans by his Republican predecessor Abraham Lincoln. As The New York Times reported, Trump invoked Juneteenth in each of his first four years as president, before it was a federal holiday. It commemorates June 19, 1865, the day Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Texas, letting them know they had been legally freed by Lincoln’s signing of the proclamation two years earlier. Better late than never. Much better. When asked on Thursday about Trump’s intentions to mark the holiday in the traditional presidential manner, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt answered evasively, “I’m not tracking his signature on a proclamation today.” That was strange, because by Leavitt’s own admission, Trump had in the past week issued proclamations commemorating Father’s Day, Flag Day and National Flag Week, and the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill — none of which are among the 11 annual federal holidays. Why does Trump feel differently about the holiday now? Without mentioning Juneteenth by name, Trump bellyached on Truth Social: “Too many nonworking holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either!” Ah, yes, workers and their well-known aversion to paid holidays. He continued: “Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” That sounds ominous. Is Trump planning to claw back paid holidays from hard-working government employees? It occurred to me, as a descendant of freed slaves, that perhaps Trump simply wants to downgrade our day of jubilee. True, back in his first term, Trump lavishly boasted: “I made Juneteenth very famous. It’s actually an important event, it’s an important time. But nobody had heard of it. Very few people have heard of it.” (That would be news to the millions of “nobodies” who spent years eating soul food and pounds of traditional “red cake” to celebrate the day.) Trump even spoke favorably about Juneteenth as a federal holiday, but he didn’t get around to making it official before he left office. It was Joe Biden who completed that task in 2021. Which may explain Trump’s newfound hostility to the holiday. Whereas Joe Biden sought to mend the nation’s racial divisions after the George Floyd protests, Trump built his revanchist second presidency on the demonization of diversity. Consider that until recently, the following message could be read on the Army’s official website, Army.mil: “Juneteenth is an integral part of Army life. It is a time to reflect on the crucial role the Army played in the Emancipation Proclamation and ending segregation in the U.S.” It called on readers to “honor those who fought and sacrificed to ensure the Constitution fulfilled its promise to all Americans.” As an Army veteran, that sentiment makes me feel proud. However, if you Google those words today, and click on the link in the search results, you reach an error page. The Army scrubbed the message. Why? Perhaps for the same reason, Trump’s secretary of defense ordered Arlington National Cemetery to delete webpage memorials of Blacks, Latinos and women who defended our country. And the same reason he restored Confederate names to military bases and dismissed several Black generals. It’s hard to think of a holiday better suited to uplift our mulligan stew of a nation than Juneteenth, when our armed forces finally broke the shackles of a profoundly unjust institution, beginning a process of liberation and reconciliation that we carry on. Sadly, such historical good news is being suppressed too often in today’s classrooms and by political opportunists who would rather build unity in their own ranks by turning us against each other like so many political interest groups. Some, including our president, it seems, would rather hide our troubled past than try to use it to learn how to work together and truly make America great.

Maud Picone of Covington, Louisiana, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

and traveling the world. They were a beautiful ex‐ ample to their children of marriage and a life well lived. Sue and Wes were devote Catholics, and she believed sharing her faith with her children to be one of her most important priv‐ ileges. Her faith and trust in God saw her through dif‐ ficult times, such as the re‐ cent loss of Wes and the loss of Sean Perrin at the age of 27 to metastatic breast cancer. She was al‐ ways grateful to God for the good times, and cele‐ brated life whole heart‐ edly. Even through her suf‐ ferings in life, she always showed a spark of joy. Sue was incredibly generous and loved to spread joy. She would begin planning for Christmas mid-sum‐ mer, and would devote a great deal of thought and effort to celebrating every occasion. She loved to dine and would spend hours with family and friends fre‐ her favorite quenting places. Sue celebrated life every day. She cared deeply for the comfort of others and would go out of her way to ensure the hap‐ piness of those around her. Sue was lovingly referred to as “Mimi” by her grand‐ children (Austin Ober, Han‐ nah Ober Shrestha (Shiva), Lily Ober, Molly Ober, Emma Ober, Maren Glass, Kathlyn Glass, Laurelyn Brenynn Glass, Glass, Pierce, Liam Patrick Pierce), and her great (Agni grandchildren and Aayan Shrestha Shrestha), who she loved to spoil. She will be sorely missed by her family and many friends. She is sur‐ vived in life by her brothers (Fred, Dick, and Jack), her children (Shane, Shannon, and Erin), as well as all of grandchildren and her great grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, Sue requested you please consider donat‐ ing to St Joseph Abbey.

College NIL money reshaping NBA draft BY AARON BEARD AP basketball writer

BY KOKI RILEY Staff writer

OMAHA, Neb. — When Josh Pearson’s fly ball to right field was caught to end the 2024 Chapel Hill regional, LSU found itself at a crossroads. Yes, the Tigers had won their seventh national championship just 12 months earlier, but there were many questions to answer heading into the offseason. How would they replace Tommy White? With Luke Holman and Gage Jump off to pro baseball, who would replace them at the top of the rotation? Would Jared Jones and Griffin Herring return? It’s safe to say that coach Jay Johnson found the right answers. Twelve months later, LSU won another national championship, securing an eighth title and second ring in three years Sunday at Charles Schwab Field after defeating Coastal Carolina 5-3 in Game 2 of the College World Series final. “I’m so proud right now,” Johnson said. “It’s not to be taken for granted being here two years ago. That was special. Greatest night of my life. “This is equal and maybe even tops in some ways.” Sunday’s win capped a remarkable first four years under Johnson, who became the fastest coach in college baseball history to win multiple national championships at the same school. The latest crowning achievement might not be the last for LSU under Johnson.

LSU’s 2023 national championship, unlike this year’s team, was a roster that Johnson mostly inherited. Dylan Crews, Tre Morgan, Jordan Thompson, Cade Beloso, Gavin Dugas, Hayden Travinski, Alex Milazzo and Ty Floyd were champions with Johnson, but players who primarily were recruited by his predecessor, Paul Mainieri. Johnson added the likes of Paul Skenes, Tommy White and Thatcher Hurd out of the transfer portal, but the makeup and core of LSU’s first title under the second-year skipper was the opposite of the 2025 team. “This was different,” Johnson said. “I mean, the first one was the first one. And I felt like in coming here to

Will Wade’s work building N.C. State into an immediate winner included the pursuit of an entrant in the NBA draft, just in case he returned to college. It wasn’t a huge risk: With all the cash flowing in college, the number of early entrants to the NBA draft has continued to shrink. This year’s draft starts Wednesday night with its lowest total of those prospects in at least 10 years. “Now you can play the long game a little bit more,” said Wade, referring to how college players can look at their futures. “Look, I can get paid the same I would get paid in the G League, the same I would get paid on a two-way (contract). Some (college) guys are getting first-round money.” And more money is on the way. It’s been four years since college athletes were permitted to profit off the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL), opening the door for athlete compensation that was once forbidden

For Wade, that led to signing former Texas Tech player Darrion Williams after 247Sports’ ﬁfth-ranked transfer withdrew from the draft. “Basically now if you’re an early entry and you’re not a top-20, top-22 pick — where the money slots — you can pretty much make that in college,” Wade said.

LOUISIANA SPORTS HALL OF FAME

Scheuermann walks in father’s shoes Delgado baseball coach helped save program in 2006 BY LENNY VANGILDER

Contributing writer

This is an entry in a proﬁle series of inductees for the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2025. The induction ceremony is set for Saturday in Natchitoches. Joe Scheuermann was a 27-yearold assistant baseball coach at Tulane when he came to Natchitoches in June 1990 to present his father, “Rags,” for induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. Curveballs are a part of baseball, and “Rags” delivered a dandy one that night. During his acceptance speech, he announced his retirement as the Delgado Community College baseball coach. Thirty-ﬁve years after following in his dad’s footsteps on City Park Avenue and with 1,207 victories on his record, Joe Scheuermann will join his dad to become the fourth father-son combination in the LSHOF. That culminates with the Class of 2025 induction ceremony in Natchitoches on Saturday. While most assume it was a done deal that Joe Scheuermann would replace “Rags” at Delgado, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The younger Scheuermann came back to New Orleans and soon met with then-Delgado president James Caillier. “I don’t want to have this job because I’m Rags Scheuermann’s son,” Joe Scheuermann told his future boss. Later that summer, he became the second head coach of what is now the oldest junior-college program in any sport in Louisiana. Joe Scheuermann was preparing for his 16th season at Delgado when his program — and the entire city of New Orleans — was dealt a blow from Hurricane Katrina’s devestation. The Scheuermanns, with their house and campus under water, evacuated to New Roads. A few days later, in Baton Rouge, he met with Delgado’s chancellor, Alex Johnson. With the college in financial straits after a lost semester and significant rebuilding costs, the

Arizona outfielder Corbin Carroll has a chip fracture in his left wrist and his timeline for a return is unknown, manager Torey Lovullo said. Lovullo told reporters Monday night after a 10-0 win over the Chicago White Sox that Carroll would “continue to get some opinions just to ﬁnd out what that official diagnosis means and what the time frame will be.” Carroll hasn’t played since a pitch hit him in the left hand last Wednesday in Toronto. X-rays at the time showed no fracture. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and outﬁelder Jake McCarthy was recalled from Triple-A Reno. Carroll is batting .255 with 20 homers and 44 RBIs this season. He was the NL rookie of the year and an All-Star in 2023.

Delgado Community College baseball head coach Joe Scheuermann gives instruction during practice May 18, 2021, at John Ryan Stadium. message about the spring 2006 season was simple: “We can’t fund it.” The only way to have a season — and save the program started three decades earlier by his father — was to raise the money himself. Scheuermann got that programsaving donation from a longtime supporter and friend, and the task of resuscitating a season — and a ballpark, since Kirsch-Rooney Stadium also had been inundated with several feet of ﬂoodwaters — began. “I was looking at whether I should transfer,” said Kyle Beerbohm, a sophomore on the 2006 team. “We came back late in the fall and helped with cleanup and putting the field together. Pitchers were putting up a fence during (batting practice). It was deﬁnitely a wild fall and early spring.” Added Scheuermann: “The fact we played the year after Katrina is probably my proudest moment. It would have been easy for Delgado not to have athletics, but it made them realize how important athletics is for the college.” One year later, the Katrina

freshman class would lead Scheuermann to his first-ever trip to the Junior College World Series, 22 years after “Rags” made his only trip. “If you ask that ’07 team, they expected to win,” Scheuermann said. “If you expect to win, you Scheuermann win. You can’t hope for anything.” Omaha, Nebraska, is the goal each year for LSU and other NCAA Division I programs. On the NJCAA Division I level, it is Grand Junction, Colorado. “Once we got to the World Series, people bought into our program,” Scheuermann said. “Your kids remember the experience and they pass it down the line. Our expectations became Grand Junction.” Delgado rattled off three straight trips to Grand Junction from 2014-16, then returned for a fifth time under Scheuermann in 2023, finishing fifth. In May 2024, Scheuermann won

his 1,178th game to pass the late Tony Robichaux, a 2022 LSHOF inductee, to become the winningest college coach in Louisiana history. That’s not how he sees it, though. “I broke the junior-college record for wins in Louisiana,” said Scheuermann, who played at Tulane at the same time as Robichaux played at then-USL. “Every game I’ve won was at the juniorcollege level. Tony Robichaux did it at the Division I level. That’s not the same.” On April 13 of this year, Scheuermann registered his latest milestone, career win No. 1,200. As much as Joe Scheuermann has followed in his father’s footsteps, there’s one thing he won’t do — go on stage at the Natchitoches Events Center and announce his retirement. “I get asked all the time, when are you going to get out?” Scheuermann said. “I’m 62, I feel great, I enjoy coaching. “I remember my dad saying, ‘You’ll know when it’s time.’ I really don’t feel it’s time yet. It’s an occupation, but I do it more for the kids and the school.”

Skenes to face NL’s newest rookie phenom on mound BY STEVE MEGARGEE AP sportswriter

MILWAUKEE — There’s going to be plenty of hard throwing Wednesday in the first pitching matchup between Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes and Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski. Just don’t expect too much hard contact. Skenes, the 2024 NL rookie of the year, didn’t allow a hit the last time he pitched in Milwaukee. Misiorowski doesn’t have Skenes’ track record, but he has given up just one hit over 11 innings in his first two career starts. The 23-year-old flamethrowing right-handers meet as opposing starters for the first time Wednesday at Milwaukee. “I think it’s going to be really entertaining to watch,” Misiorowski said. “Two really good prospects – I mean, he’s not a prospect anymore, I guess. Two guys that are at the top of their game right now. So I think it’s cool. It’s going to be fun.” Statcast says Skenes has an average four-seam fastball velocity of 98.1 mph that ranks him behind only Cincinnati’s Hunter Greene (99.3) among starters who have thrown enough pitches to qualify. In his first two starts, Misiorowski had an average four-seam fastball velocity of 99.7 mph. While those numbers are similar, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said it’s far too soon to start grouping Misiorowski with Skenes. “(Skenes is) one of the best in the game,” Murphy said. “Miz is in his third start. It’s unfair to compare them, for sure. Unfair to Skenes, you know what I mean? It should be exciting. Miz is going on

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes throws against the Detroit Tigers during a doubleheader on Thursday in Detroit. four days rest for the first time.” But this showcase should give Misiorowski a chance to measure himself against the game’s best. Skenes indeed has long since graduated from prospect status to solidify himself as one of the game’s top pitchers. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft finished third in the NL Cy Young Award voting last year and has gone 15-9 with a 1.91 ERA and 276 strikeouts over 235 innings in his young career. “It’s like everything just flows off his back,” Pirates manager Don Kelly said. “He never lets anything affect him too much, the way that he’s able to adjust and adapt not just start to start, from inning to inning, batter to batter, understanding his stuff, what’s

working and what’s not.” In his two previous appearances against the Brewers, Skenes has struck out 19 while allowing only four hits and one run over 13 innings. The last time he pitched at Milwaukee, Skenes pitched seven innings of no-hit ball before departing as the Pirates limited the Brewers to one total hit in a 1-0 victory last July. Misiorowski has been equally effective in a signiﬁcantly smaller sample size. He made his major league debut June 12 and held St. Louis hitless for five innings before departing the Brewers’ 6-0 victory with cramping and his right calf and quadriceps. He threw 14 pitches at least 100 mph and reached a top speed of

102.2 that night. Misiorowski came back Friday and had a perfect game going until he walked Byron Buxton and allowed a homer to Matt Wallner in the seventh inning of a 17-6 triumph at Minnesota. Both teams are Misiorowski eager to see what happens as Misiorowski gets to measure himself against one of the game’s most dominant pitchers in Skenes. “Good luck to the hitters,” Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff said. “It’s 100 mph every pitch. It’s kind of crazy in terms of how the game has changed that way. It seems like everybody throws 100 now. It’s cool. It’s good for the game. It’s two young guys who are obviously really good.” Although the two pitchers hadn’t met until Monday, Misiorowski nearly preceded Skenes at LSU. Misiorowski committed to LSU, but decided to start his pro career after the Brewers selected hm out of Crowder College in Neosho, Missouri, in the second round of the 2022 draft. One year later, Skenes led LSU to a College World Series title in his lone season with the Tigers. Skenes transferred to LSU after spending two seasons at Air Force. Now, they’re ﬁnally in a ballpark together, only as opponents rather than teammates. “We know what Paul can do,” Kelly said. “I’m excited to see their guy out there. It’s going to be a good pitching matchup. Just really looking forward to that one.”

Texas Rangers left-hander Cody Bradford will have elbow surgery Wednesday after a setback during his rehab from a left elbow sprain that has kept him out all season. Chris Young, the team’s president of baseball operations, said Tuesday that Bradford felt something in his elbow when he resumed throwing after a recent ﬂu bug. He then saw team physician Dr. Keith Meister, who will do the surgery. The 27-year-old Bradford is 10-6 with a 4.28 ERA in 34 games (21 starts) for Texas the past two seasons. He was expected to be part of the starting rotation this season, but was shut down during spring training in mid-March because of elbow soreness.

QB Rodgers says ’25 season likely his last

Aaron Rodgers is “pretty sure” the 2025 season will be his last in the NFL, the 41-year-old quarterback said Tuesday. The four-time MVP signed a oneyear deal with Pittsburgh earlier this month after two injury-marred seasons with the New York Jets. Rodgers’ base salary is $13.65 million and he could earn up to $19.5 million with incentives, according to Spotrac. Rodgers agreed to sign with Pittsburgh after regular conversations with coach Mike Tomlin over a few months during the Steelers’ minicamp. On the field, Rodgers hopes to provide stability — at least for one year — for a franchise that has cycled through several quarterbacks since Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season.

NBA allows $1.5B sale of Timberwolves, Lynx

The $1.5 billion sale of the Minnesota Timberwolves from Glen Taylor to an investment group led by e-commerce entrepreneur Marc Lore and former baseball star Alex Rodriguez gained NBA approval on Tuesday, ﬁnalizing more than four years after the deal was reached. The deal, which is expected to close this week nearly 51 months and more than 1,500 days after the initial agreement, includes the Minnesota Lynx. The Timberwolves are planning an introductory news conference for Lore and Rodriguez next month in Las Vegas, with Lore as Timberwolves governor and Rodriguez as alternate governor, the league announced. For the Lynx, Rodriguez will serve as governor and Lore as alternate governor.

Dart was 40-15 up on serve leading 5-4 in the decisive third set of a rain-affected round-of-32 match that second-seeded Krejcikova went on win 6-3, 6-7 (4), 7-5. It was just the second victory this year for the 17th-ranked Krejcikova, whose season didn’t start until May because of a back injury. The 29-year-old Czech player came to Eastbourne for her ﬁnal warmup before beginning the defense of her Wimbledon title next week.

Tigers becoming king of the mound BY ERIC OLSON AP sportswriter

OMAHA, Neb. — During its rise as a national power in the 1990s, LSU built its identity on prodigious home run numbers, a style coined “Gorilla Ball.” The game changed over the decades, and so did the Tigers. They still have plenty of offense, but pitching is the name of the game on the bayou nowadays. LSU’s pitching prowess was omnipresent in the College World Series as the Tigers won their second national championship in three years with a two-game sweep of Coastal Carolina in the ﬁnals. The Tigers posted a CWSbest 2.60 ERA over five games, and opponents batted .205 and just .145 with runners in scoring position. Most Outstanding Player Kade Anderson, who threw a three-hit shutout in Game 1 of the ﬁnals, had an 0.56 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 16 innings over two starts. Anthony Eyanson turned in a strong start in Sunday’s 5-3 win in Game 2, striking out nine over 61/ 3 innings. Chase Shores made four

LSU redshirt sophomore Chase Shores pitches against Coastal Carolina in Game 2 of the the College World Series final on Sunday in Omaha, Neb. relief appearances, earned two saves and retired seven of the Chanticleers’ last eight batters in the titleclinching win. “If you’re a pitcher and you don’t want to come here right now, you’re out to lunch,” Tigers coach Jay Johnson said. “You’re not thinking clearly, because

that’s three dudes that pitched in the series that are all going to be in the major leagues within 18 months.” The 2023 championship team had one of the most potent offenses in the country with Dylan Crews and Tommy White, but it didn’t overshadow the pitching staff.

Paul Skenes, the CWS Most Outstanding Player, was the No. 1 pick in the MLB amateur draft, right ahead of Crews. Ty Floyd, the Tigers’ No. 2 starter, also was a firstrounder. Since 2022, Johnson’s ﬁrst season at LSU, 18 of the Tigers’ 26 draft picks have

been pitchers. That includes two of four in 2022, eight of 13 in 2023 and eight of nine in 2024. Three of the four LSU players listed among MLB. com’s top 85 prospects for next month’s draft are pitchers. Anderson’s performances in Omaha could put him in line to be the second No. 1 overall pick in three years for LSU. The Tigers have maintained consistency on the mound even though they’ve had three pitching coaches in four years. The ﬁrst was Jason Kelly, who left to become head coach at Washington. Wes Johnson was in charge in 2023 and left to become head coach at Georgia. Nate Yeskie just ﬁnished his second year after being hired away from Texas A&M. “He always says he’s coaching us for the player he thinks we’re going to be rather than the player we are right now,” Shores said. “So just holding us to the higher standard just allows us to go out there and just work really hard and do our job.” Johnson said he was happy Shores was on the mound

when LSU locked down the championship. The 6-foot8, 252-pound right-hander was a weekend starter to open 2023 and injured his right arm six weeks into the season. He had Tommy John surgery and missed the entire 2024 season. He was throwing 100 mph as he closed out Coastal Carolina on Sunday. “He had to go through the 18-month recovery rehab and persevered through all of that,” Johnson said. “And there’s nobody I would have rather had ﬁnish the game tonight for the second national championship than Chase Shores.” Shores originally pledged to Oklahoma State before ﬂipping to LSU three years ago. Johnson laid out a plan for him and told him he would make a run at a national championship if he went to LSU. Shores won two. “Coach Johnson just made me feel wanted,” he said. “He was persistent in the way he was recruiting me. “Once you get to campus, he keeps recruiting you, because that’s just the coach he is. I’m really thankful I ended up coming to LSU.”

Las Vegas Aces guard Chelsea Gray shoots over Seattle Storm forward Alysha Clark during the second half of their game Friday in Las Vegas.

Aces come out gate slowly; Clark hits shooting slump BY DOUG FEINBERG AP basketball writer

For the second consecutive season the Las Vegas Aces have gotten off to a slow start. The team snapped a threegame losing streak Sunday with a victory over Indiana. Las Vegas sits at 6-7, a rare time they are under .500 since the team came to the Nevada city in 2018. The victory over Caitlin Clark and the Fever was one of their best efforts of the season. (It also was ESPN’s third mostwatched WNBA regularseason game, averaging 1.7 million viewers.) Coach Becky Hammon is hoping for more consistency moving forward. “It’s hard to build trust when you’re not consistent. Every day. You got to show up. You got to be who you are and be the best version of yourself,” she said. “And we haven’t got that yet. We’ve got it in pieces, which makes me optimistic. And then we have, you know, where we fall to pieces, which enrages me. So, you know, we have to ﬁnd a way to show up and put a 40-minute game together.” The Aces look to string some wins together now with Connecticut and Washington coming to Las Vegas for back-to-back games this week. The team then goes on a ﬁve-game road trip that will go a long way to determining where they are heading into the All-Star break. Hammon is hoping to get Jewell Loyd going on offense. She’s averaging just 11.4 points this season — her

WNBA NOTEBOOK lowest total since her rookie year in 2015.

Clark’s shooting woes Clark isn’t worried about her recent shooting slump over the past two games when she’s gone 1-for-17 from behind the 3-point arc. She’s a career 35% 3-point shooter, with many of her shots coming from way behind the 3-point line. “I mean, there’s going to be stretches that are really good and stretches that aren’t as good,” she said. “Obviously it’s frustrating. You want them to go in and even tonight there were a few that felt really good off my hand that just didn’t go down.” Clark hasn’t lost faith in her shooting. “The challenge for myself going forward is just continue to pour into every other aspect of the game and I can continue to have an impact in those other areas.”

Early voting returns Clark and Napheesa Collier are leading fan AllStar voting through Friday. Three of Clark’s Fever teammates are also in the top 10 of the voting that will close Saturday. There have been a huge number of votes cast so far which has impressed Clark. “It seems like it’s certainly going to set some sort of record for the amount of votes cast compared to last year, if I’m not mistaken. I feel like we’re on track for that,

which just shows how much engagement we’re driving across the league for all different sorts of players and teams,” she said. “And, you know, that’s exactly what the league needs, is people are excited about that type of stuff and wanting to be involved, feeling like their vote really counts, and feeling like they can make an impact on All-Star Games. So, it’s really exciting to see, and hopefully as we continue to grow here year after year after year.”

Power poll rankings Minnesota leads the way as the No. 1 team in the power poll with Phoenix moving up to second after beating New York last week. The Liberty are third with Seattle fourth. Atlanta, Golden State and Las Vegas are the next three. Indiana is eighth. Washington, Los Angeles and Dallas follow the Fever. Chicago and Connecticut round out the poll.

Player of the week Nneka Ogwumike of Seattle earned Player of the Week honors for the first time this season. The Storm forward averaged 25.7 points, eight rebounds and 2.3 steals to help the team win all three of its games last week.

Game of the week Chicago at Los Angeles, Sunday. The Sparks will retire former star Candace Parker’s jersey at the game. She will be the third player to have that honor for Los Angeles.

LSU, I felt like I could help that group of players in the second year.” Losing the majority of the starting lineup and the top two starting pitchers proved to be too much for the 2024 team. And with 11 players entering the transfer portal, Johnson had to build this season’s team nearly from scratch. Only 12 players who played in a game in 2024 returned to this year’s team. Johnson added 13 transfers, three junior-college transfers and 10 freshmen to fill out his roster. From a construction standpoint, it was Johnson’s busiest offseason since he took the job in 2021. “I knew we had really good players coming back,” Johnson said. “It just wasn’t a lot of volume.” Despite so many new faces, LSU won another national championship. On the surface, going for title No. 9 next season won’t be as treacherous, at least from a roster-building standpoint. Freshman Derek Curiel, and sophomores Steven Milam and Jake Brown are expected to return next season. Juniors Chris Stanfield and Ethan Frey also could return, depending on their draft prospects. A few positions in the lineup are open, namely second base and first base, with Daniel Dickinson and Jared Jones off to pro baseball. Seniors Luis Hernandez, Pearson and Michael Braswell also create holes at catcher, the outfield and third base, respectively. For most of these questions, Johnson already has found answers. Kansas State infielder Seth Dardar and High Point third baseman Brayden Simpson are new additions out of the transfer portal. Many of the answers are on the roster already. Freshman Cade Arrambide is a natural replacement for Hernandez behind the plate. Junior Tanner Reaves has another year of eligibility, whether that be at second base or third. Sophomore Ashton Larson, after starting as a freshman, could slide into Pearson or Stanfield’s role. “I’m really proud of the freshman season that (Cade’s) had, and I have great peace that that’s the guy for us,” Johnson said. “And he may end up being the best player

in the program next year at some point.” Pitching-wise, LSU again is losing its top starters in sophomore left-hander Kade Anderson and junior right-hander Anthony Eyanson. The difference this season is that the Tigers already have the pieces in place to replace their two aces. Freshman right-hander Casan Evans was a star all year and junior right-hander Zac Cowan could return. Freshman righthander William Schmidt, left-hander Cooper Williams and right-hander Mavrick Rizy give the Tigers a deep well of youth behind them. That’s before mentioning junior righthander Gavin Guidry and sophomore right-hander Deven Sheerin returning from injury, or the possible return of sophomore right-hander Jaden Noot. Adding more left-handed pitchers may be a priority, but LSU’s recent track record when it comes to pitching development should make the Tigers a popular destination for lefties in the portal. “If you’re a pitcher and you don’t want to come here right now, you’re out to lunch,” Johnson said. “You’re not thinking clearly.” Include a freshman class that heading into next month’s draft is the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, according to Perfect Game, and the Tigers go into next year as a favorite to win their third national title in four years. And to think this is where LSU would be after an offseason ﬁlled with so many questions. “Maybe that’s why I’m so proud of this thing,” Johnson said. “This is a completely different team.” Email Koki Riley at Koki.Riley@ theadvocate.com.

NBA NIL

Continued from page 1C It’s all part of a seismic change that has rippled through college athletics since the pandemic, its effect touching the NBA. Players willing to “test the waters” in the draft before returning to school now have a lucrative option to consider against uncertain pro prospects. And it shows in the numbers. “With all the money that’s being thrown around in NIL, you’re having a lot less players put their names in,” Detroit Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon said. “You’re having pretty good players pulling their names out.”

Flagg set to become Mavs’ new main man as expected No. 1 pick in NBA draft

BY BRIAN MAHONEY AP basketball writer

NEW YORK — Cooper Flagg and his Duke teammates were together celebrating a victory over North Carolina the night of Feb. 1 when one of them saw the news that had rocked the basketball world. The Dallas Mavericks were trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. “We just all started going crazy,” Flagg said Tuesday. “It was such a shock. Like, it was craziness.” Now Flagg is set to take Doncic’s place as the franchise superstar in Dallas. Flagg is expected to be selected by the Mavericks with the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on Wednesday night after a sensational one-season stopover with the Blue Devils. Everybody but Flagg seems certain he is the Mavs’ man — “I haven’t had that conversation at all,” he insisted — and there’s really no reason for the team to look otherwise. Flagg was the consensus college player of the year, only the fourth freshman to win the Wooden Award after averaging 19.2 points and 7.5 rebounds while leading Duke to the

I think me going into whatever situation I go into, I’m just going to try to be myself all the time and I’m going push myself to be better and better every single day.” COOPER FLAGG, former Duke forward Final Four. A little more than a month later, the Mavericks turned just a 1.8% chance into a lottery victory, giving them the right to pick ﬁrst for the second time in franchise history. They brought Flagg in for what he felt was a good workout that lasted more than an hour, though he said they never said he would be their pick. He’s surely one of the few who might believe there’s reason to wait until commissioner Adam Silver announces the selection at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. “I mean, my whole family is in Dallas and they’re stoked to be able to go to Mavs games and watch Cooper. He’s part of the family,” said UConn forward Liam McNeeley, Flagg’s teammate at Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida. Flagg’s selection would return the NBA draft to the way it was for so long, with a one-and-done college player starting it. A freshman went

first for 13 straight years from 2010-22 before the past two No. 1 picks, Victor Wembanyama and Zaccharie Risacher, were both from France. The No. 2 pick could be Wembanyama’s teammate, as the Spurs are set to draft at No. 2. Philadelphia, Charlotte and Utah round out the top ﬁve, with NBA champion Oklahoma City holding two ﬁrst-round selections and the Brooklyn Nets owning four. It’s already been a busy NBA offseason, with Kevin Durant and Jrue Holiday being traded. It’s unlikely the Mavericks would consider trading the rights to Flagg, especially not after the uproar from their fans when they dealt away the beloved Doncic. The No. 3 pick in 2018 from Slovenia led the Mavericks to the 2024 NBA Finals and had become a perennial All-Star and MVP candidate. Flagg said he’s not concerned about the pressure that would come

Poole, a 6-foot-4 guard, is entering his seventh NBA season. He played his ﬁrst four seasons with the Golden State Warriors, who he won an NBA title with in 2022, and his last two with the Wizards. Poole averaged a careerbest 20.5 points and 4.5 assists this past season. He scored a career-high 45 points in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Poole also set a Wizards’

DUMARS

Continued from page 1C the future of a team coming off the second-worst season in franchise history. “We have some good talent on the roster,” Dumars said. “When this team has been healthy, it’s been a formidable team. Unfortunately, last year it was just decimated with injuries, and I acknowledge that. But that doesn’t stop you from setting the bar higher and pushing harder to be better.” The Pelicans have two firstround picks. They own the No. 7 overall pick after falling from No. 4 to No. 7 in the lottery. They added the No. 23 pick in a trade with the Indiana Pacers last week. Now they have the No. 40 pick as well.

The Pelicans should be able to get a quality player with their first pick. Draft analysts rave about the depth of this class. The Dallas Mavericks certainly will take Duke’s Cooper Flagg with the first overall pick, and the San Antonio Spurs almost certainly will choose Rutgers guard Dylan Harper second. “There are three different tiers,” ESPN draft analyst Bobby Marks said Tuesday during a draft Q&A panel. “Where Cooper is. Where Dylan Harper is. And then there is a group of five or six players in that Tier 3, and it’s just a matter of what you like and who you think fits.” Dumars and senior vice president of basketball operations Troy Weaver should have plenty of viable options at No. 7. With Olynyk now gone, Duke center Khaman

with stepping into Doncic’s shoes. “I wouldn’t look at anything as pressure,” Flagg said. “I think me going into whatever situation I go into, I’m just going to try to be myself all the time and I’m going push myself to be better and better every single day and make the most out of every day. I’m not worried about living up to certain players’ expectations or things like that.” Flagg has already shown he isn’t afraid of a challenge. He could have still been in high school last season, but decided to reclassify so he could enter college, and subsequently the NBA, a year earlier. “I think a quote my mom likes to say a lot, if you’re the best player in the gym then you need to ﬁnd a new gym,” he said in explaining that decision. “So for me, it was thinking about what I had left to do in high school, how much that would push me to become a better player. “I felt it was time for me to kind of get to a new environment and push myself to higher levels.” On Wednesday, he reaches the highest one in basketball.

This year’s drop is significant when compared to the years before anyone had heard of COVID-19. There was a spike of college players jumping into the draft in the pandemic’s aftermath, when they were granted a free eligibility year to temporarily make even a fourth-year senior an “early” entrant. But those numbers had fallen as those five-year players cycled out of college basketball, and they’re now below prepandemic levels. That decline coincides with NIL’s July 2021 arrival, from athletes doing paid appearances or social-media endorsements to boosters forming collectives offering NIL packages amounting to de facto salaries. As a result: n Eighty-two players appeared on the NBA’s list of early entrants primarily from American colleges with a smattering of other teams, down 49% from 2024 (162) and nearly 47% compared to the fouryear average from 2016-19 (153.5); n Thirty-two remained after withdrawal deadlines, down from 62 last year and 72 from 2016-19; n Adding international prospects, 109 players declared for the draft, down from 201 last year and 205 from 2016-19; n And only 46 remained, down from 77 in 2024 and 83.8 from 2016-19. Duke coach Jon Scheyer understands draft dynamics, both for no-doubt headliners and prospects facing less clarity. He sees college athlete compensation as a “legitimate gamechanger.” “Hopefully it allows players to decide what’s truly best for their game,” Scheyer said. “It allows

them to analyze: ‘Am I actually ready for this or not?’ Where money doesn’t have to be the deciding factor. Because if money’s the deciding factor, that’s why you see kids not stick. The NBA’s cutthroat. It just is.” The Blue Devils are expected to have three players selected in the first round Wednesday, including presumptive No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg alongside top-10 prospects Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach. They also had players sorting through draft decisions. Freshman Isaiah Evans — a slender wing with explosive scoring potential — withdrew instead of chasing first-round status through the draft process. Incoming transfer Cedric Coward from Washington State rapidly rose draft boards after the combine and remained in the draft. “There’s no substituting the money you’re going to make if you’re a top-15, top-20 pick,” Scheyer said. “But if you’re not solidified as a first-round pick, why risk it when you can have a solid year and a chance to go up or be in the same position the following season?”

Reshaped draft pool Trajan Langdon, himself a former Duke first-rounder, sees the evolution, too. The Detroit Pistons, which he runs as the president of basketball operations, had their first playoff appearance since 2019 but lack a first-round selection and own a single pick in Thursday’s second round. Fewer candidates could make the already imperfect science of drafting even trickier in this new reality. According to the NBA’s 2024-25 rookie scale, a player going midway through the first round would make roughly $3.5 million in first-year salary. That figure would drop to about $2.8 million at pick No. 20, $2.3 million at No. 25 and $2.1 million with the 30th and final first-round draftee. A minimum first-year NBA salary? Roughly $1.2 million. “These NIL packages are starting to get up to (between $3 million and $6 million),” Langdon said. “These guys are not going to put their name in to be the 25th pick, or even the 18th pick. They are going to go back to school in hopes of being a lottery pick next year. With that pool of players decreasing, it kind of decreases the odds of the level of player we get at No. 37, just the pure mathematics.”

Hawks. He signed with the Wizards in July but didn’t play. The Pelicans now have three picks in this year’s draft, which will be held Wednesday and Thursday nights. In addition to the 40th pick, the Pelicans also have two picks (No. 7 and No. 23) in the ﬁrst round. Email Rod Walker at rwalker@theadvocate.com.

Maluach seems like he could fill a need with both size and athleticism. Guards such as Ace Bailey of Rutgers or Jeremiah Fears of Oklahoma also could be available. Dumars had this to say when asked about his draft philosophy when it comes to best player available vs. fulfilling a roster need: “I don’t think you want to pass on a best player,” Dumars said. “But if all things are equal, then you go for the need. But if there is a gap between two players, you’ve got to take the best player. You need a certain amount of talent in this league, so you can’t pass on that talent. Talent in basketball has more impact. There are only five people out there on the court. So that talent gap can make a difference. That’s why you really want to take the best player.” Finding that talent is why Du-

mars hired Weaver. Dumars describes Weaver as “elite” when it comes to evaluating young players. That’s not just at the top of the draft. Back in 2008 when Weaver was in his first season with the Oklahoma City Thunder, they drafted Serge Ibaka with the No. 24 overall pick. Ibaka became a key piece on the Thunder team that reached the NBA Finals in 2012. The Pelicans hit on a ﬁrstround pick in the 20s last season, drafting center Yves Missi at No. 21. Missi ﬂourished and was voted NBA All-Rookie second team. NBA draft analyst Jay Bilas believes there could be some similar gems in this class at No. 23. “It’s a pretty deep draft,” Bilas said during Tuesday’s panel. “Once you get past 8 or 9, there is a lot of reasonable disagreement.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole drives the ball up court against the Boston Celtics on April 6 in Boston.

‘I like this better or I like that better.’ There are a lot of things to like about these players. “But how many times over the years have we had players outside the lottery who turned into All-Stars or truly great players? That’s sorta the humility of this process. You don’t know. You just have beliefs and try to gather as much intelligence as you can.” The prediction here is the Pelicans take Maluach at No. 7 and Florida guard Walter Clayton at No. 23. The upside for both of those players seems high, much like the upside looked 40 years ago for a Natchitoches native who starred at McNeese State before making his mark for the Pistons. Now its up to that first-round pick from the 1985 draft to make his mark in New Orleans.

Holiday traded from Celtics to Trail Blazers BY BRIAN MAHONEY AP basketball writer

Jrue Holiday’s acquisition from Portland helped spark the Boston Celtics to their NBA-record 18th championship last season. Holiday is being sent back to the Trail Blazers by a Boston team that could now be in transition, a person with knowledge of the details said early Tuesday. ESPN reported that the Celtics would get Anfernee Simons and two second-round draft picks from the Trail Blazers. The departure of Holiday, who made his sixth career All-Defensive team selection in his first season in Boston, was confirmed to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal is not yet official. Holiday was traded by the Milwaukee Bucks to Portland in September 2023 when the Bucks acquired perennial All-Star Damian Lillard. Holiday was then dealt days later to the Celtics, moving right into the starting lineup and eventually earning his second career title last June. But the Celtics now have lost a second member of that starting lineup for at least part of next season, with All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum having surgery after an Achilles tendon injury in the loss to the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Simons could provide some of the scoring punch the Celtics have lost, having averaged 19.3 points last season after going for a career-best 22.6 per game in 2023-24. But the Celtics will miss the de-

fense and leadership that Holiday provided. The two-time Olympic gold medalist’s scoring was down, though, with the 11.1 points he averaged last season his lowest since his rookie season in 2009-10, and more than eight points lower than the 19.3 he put up in 2022-23 with the Bucks, when he was an All-Star. More than that, the Celtics were likely motivated to trade Holiday because of the $104.4 million owed to him over the remaining three seasons of the contract extension they gave him last year, on top of the huge deals for Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Holiday, who helped the Bucks win the 2021 NBA title, has averaged 15.8 points in a 16-year career that also includes stints with Philadelphia and New Orleans. Before trading Holiday, the Celtics’ payroll next year was slated to be around $225 million, creating a tax bill of almost $280 million. The combined potential $500 million total price tag would have been a league record. The larger concern was that ﬁgure would have exceeded not only the projected luxury tax threshold of $155 million, but also the ﬁrst penalty apron projected of around $196 million and the second penalty apron of around $208 million. Both barriers carry restrictive penalties including limits on trades and what teams are allowed to do via free agency. And that was all on top of the lack of clarity on if the team’s incoming ownership would want to keep paying such hefty penalties to maintain the current roster after agreeing to a purchase in March that is

expected to have a final price of a minimum of $6.1 billion. Trading Holiday suggests that new ownership wants at least some reduced spending before the start of next season. That’s especially true with Tatum out for at least a huge portion of next season and Brown coming off knee surgery. Tatum signed an NBA-record five-year, $314 million contract last July that will begin next season and pay him $54 million. Brown is playing under a five-year, $304 million deal that kicked in this past season. He will make $53 million next season. That is followed by Kristaps Porzingis ($30 million), Derrick White ($28 million) and Sam Hauser ($10 million). Porzingis seemingly would be the next potential player the Celtics would consider moving, with $60 million total left in his deal before he is eligible for free agency again in the summer of 2026. But there are questions about his health after he missed a significant number of games in the second half of the regular season and was limited in the playoffs because of a nagging respiratory illness. No matter which direction the Celtics decide to go, Boston president of basketball operations Brad Stevens acknowledged last month after his team was eliminated from the playoffs that it’s unclear whether so-called championship windows are becoming smaller because of the current rules governing the salary cap. “That’s a good question. I don’t know,” Stevens said. “I think certainly it is more challenging in certain circumstances for sure.”

One-and-done players highlight pool of guards up for grabs BY AARON BEARD AP basketball writer

There’s a deep set of high-end guard prospects in Wednesday’s NBA draft. Rutgers point guard Dylan Harper is positioned to be the ﬁrst name called after projected No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg, while Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe, Texas’ Tre Johnson, Oklahoma’s Jeremiah Fears and Illinois’ Kasparas Jakucionis are possible top-10 picks as one-and-done prospects. Here’s a look at the guards entering Wednesday’s ﬁrst round:

VJ Edgecombe, Baylor

STRENGTHS: Explosive athleticism stands out at both ends, notably as an above-the-rim finisher who creates highlight-reel moments. The 6-4, 193-pound Edgecombe finished in the combine’s top 10 with a 38.5inch max vertical leap, had seven games with at least three made 3s and 11 games with three-plus steals. CONCERNS: Edgecombe shot just 34% on 3s, though Baylor coach Scott Drew said Edgecombe could see gains after refining his shot mechanics.

He got to the line 6.3 times per game and ranked tied for 11th among all Division I players by making 183 free throws. CONCERNS: He needs to get stronger (6-3, 180) and improve his outside shot. He made 28.4% of his 3s, including nine games of going 0 for 3 or worse. Reducing turnovers (3.4) would help, too.

Kasparas Jakucionis, Illinois STRENGTHS: Jakucionis brings size (6-5, 205) and an all-around floor game to the perimeter. He averaged 15 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists with four double-digit rebounding games and eight games with at least seven assists. CONCERNS: Jakucionis shot just 31.8% on 3s, including 5 of 22 (22.7%) in four bright-spotlight games during the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments. He averaged 3.7 turnovers — sixth-most in Division I, most among freshmen — and had 13 games with at least ﬁve turnovers.

Others of note EGOR DEMIN: The BYU freshman from Russia is a possible lottery prospect as a playmaker with size (6-8, 199) known for elite passing and vision. He averaged 5.5 assists to rank second among all Division I freshmen. JASE RICHARDSON: The Michigan State freshman and son of former NBA guard Jason Richardson is small (6-1, 178), though the firstround prospect is a 41.2% 3-point shooter.

Duke’s Khaman Maluach anchored the interior for an elite defensive team that reached the Final Four. Maryland’s Derik Queen was the offensive focal point for a team that reached the NCAA Tournament’s second weekend. Those freshmen are the headliners among big men in the upcoming NBA draft. While there’s a deep well of highend guard prospects, the bigs have a smaller list and could produce Maluach and Queen as the lone lottery picks. Here’s a look at the position entering Wednesday’s ﬁrst round:

He also didn’t measure well at the combine; he tied for last among all players in standing vertical leap (23.5 inches) and tied for secondlowest in max vertical (28.0), as well as last or next to last in lane agility, shuttle run and three-quarter court sprint testing.

Asa Newell, Georgia

STRENGTHS: The five-star recruit and first-round prospect helped the Bulldogs return to the NCAAs for the first time in a decade, with the 19-year-old capable of playing as a small-ball center or power forward.

Porzingis going to Hawks as part of three-team trade BY TIM REYNOLDS AP basketball writer

Kristaps Porzingis is being traded by the Boston Celtics to the Atlanta Hawks, and part of what will be a three-team deal gives the Brooklyn Nets another selection in Wednesday’s first round of the NBA draft, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement. Porzingis is going to the Hawks, while Georges Niang and a second-round pick will be acquired by Boston, and Brooklyn will wind up with Terance Mann and the No. 22 pick that is held by Atlanta in Wednesday’s draft, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade isn’t expected to be finalized until the start of the new league year on July 6. ESPN first reported the trade, which was later confirmed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The move is the second major one by Boston of the week, after the team agreed to trade Jrue Holiday to Portland. The combination of those moves still has Boston past the tax line for next season but out from under the second apron, which gives the Celtics — who will be without Jayson Tatum for, at minimum, a significant portion of next season because of an Achilles tear —

more ﬂexibility moving forward. Getting under the second apron is important; that threshold, once exceeded, limits ways that teams can trade for or sign players. Porzingis — who, like Holiday, was part of the team that helped Boston win the 2024 NBA title — will make $30.7 million next season on an expirPorzingis ing contract. He was slowed by illness at times in the second half of this past season, as well as in Boston’s playoff run this spring. But he intends to play for Latvia at EuroBasket this summer, a good sign. “Thanks for all the support and questions about my health,” Porzingis posted on social media this week. “I’ve been feeling excellent all offseason and look forward to a healthy and strong European championship tournament.” Porzingis averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 42 games this season. The Nets now technically have five picks in Wednesday’s first round. They own the Nos. 8, 19, 26 and 27 selections already, and the Hawks will essentially be picking for the Nets now at No. 22, as well.

Bradley won the tournament. the better American players the past three years and should have been picked for Marco Simone in 2023, when he ﬁnished at No. 11 in the standings. He played the opening two rounds at the Travelers Championship with Rory McIlroy. They looked like competitors, not a pairing of Europe’s best and America’s captain. “I’ve had the thought if it was anybody else but me as captain — before this week — I’d be strongly considered,” Bradley said. “Now we’re in an interesting spot. I’m going to have to think about this.” McIlroy already was thinking along those lines. This was only the second time he had played with an active American captain — the other was Jim Furyk in 2017, who at age 47 was ranked No. 79 in the world. Bradley is the youngest Ryder Cup captain since 1963 and is No. 7 in the world. “If he doesn’t ﬁnish in the top six and he doesn’t pick himself, then you could say America isn’t going with their very best,” McIlroy said the day before Bradley won. “But at the same time, they’re very

deep and they have a lot of great players who can step in and fill the spots. He’s found himself in quite a peculiar situation.” Bradley, whose world ranking is a career best, is No. 9 in the Ryder Cup standings. Since the U.S. revamped its system in 2008 to allow for at least four captain’s picks, the No. 9 player has been left out four times — Cameron Young (2023), Bubba Watson (2016), Hunter Mahan (2012) and Anthony Kim (2010). All but Young was because of form or injury. There are two months to go until the leading six Americans qualify, and then six captain’s picks are chosen a week later. “It’s too early,” said Scheffler, while also acknowledging time is running out. “There’s years where teams look pretty obvious. And then there’s years where there’s more decision-making that has to go on,” Scheffler said. “I feel like at the beginning of the year, you’re like, ‘Who’s going to be on the team?’ And then eventually, toward the end of the year, most spots sort themselves out. That’s what I think is going to happen.”

CROMWELL, Conn. — The question about playing in the Ryder Cup was inevitable. For the Americans who have spent time with Keegan Bradley over the last year, the answer he gave on the 18th green was as pure as the 6-foot putt he had just made to win the Travelers Championship. “Go USA!” was all Bradley said. “Of course he wants to play,” Justin Thomas had said two days before the 39-yearold Bradley posted a 63-68 weekend to win. “I think his main priority is Doug for the U.S. to win Ferguson the Ryder Cup. In his heart, he does not care if he’s playing or captaining as long as the U.S. wins. Obviously if he could choose, it would be winning as a captain and a player. “But everything has been so player-first with him,” Thomas said. “If everybody wants him on the team, I think he’ll be on it.” There is no getting around it now. The idea of Bradley playing at Bethpage Black in New York for the Sept. 28-30 matches first came up last year when he took the job. A month later, he beat the best PGA Tour players at the BMW Championship. Even then, being a playing captain seemed like a long shot. But now, after a late rally to win the Travelers Championship — a signature event with another loaded field — Bradley has more PGA Tour individual titles than anyone but Scottie Scheffler over the last year. Forget the numbers and look at the game. Bradley has been one of

ATP-Mallorca Championships Tuesday At Santa Ponca-Mallorca, Spain Surface: Grass Seedings in parentheses

June 25 1934: Pitcher John Broaca tied a major league record by striking out five consecutive times but pitched the Yankees to an 11-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Lou Gehrig had better luck at the plate, hitting for the cycle. 1937: Augie Galan of Chicago became the first National League switch-hitter to homer from both sides of the plate in the Cubs’ 11-2 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. 1950: Chicago’s Hank Sauer hit two home runs and two doubles to send the Cubs past the Philadelphia Phillies 11-8. 1961: Baltimore and California used a major league record 16 pitchers, eight by each side, as the Orioles edged the Angels 9-8 on Ron Hansen’s 14th-inning homer. 1968: Bobby Bonds, in his first major league game, hit a grand slam off John Purdin to help San Francisco to a 9-0 win over Los Angeles. 1988: Cal Ripken Jr. plays in his 1,000th consecutive game. 1998: Sammy Sosa broke the major league record for homers in a month, hitting his 19th of June leading off the seventh inning of the Cubs’ 6-4 loss to Detroit. Sosa passed the mark set by Detroit’s Rudy York in August 1937. 1999: Jose Jimenez, a rookie right-hander having one of the worst seasons among NL pitchers, threw St. Louis’ first no-hitter in 16 seasons, outdueling Randy Johnson in a 1-0 victory over Arizona. 2002: Luis Pujols of the Detroit Tigers and Tony Pena of the Kansas City Royals became the first Dominican-born managers to oppose each other in a major league game. 2007: A fan charged at Bob Howry during the Cubs’ 10-9 win over Colorado after the reliever helped blow an 8-3 lead in the ninth inning. Howry gave up back-to-back RBI singles to Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe and a three-run homer to Troy Tulowitzki. The fan then jumped onto the field from the roof of the Rockies’ dugout

and made it a few feet from the mound before security guards tackled him. Howry earned the victory when Alfonso Soriano hit a game-ending two-run single in the bottom of the inning. 2010: Arizona’s Edwin Jackson pitched a 1-0 no-hitter against Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field. 2010: The Cubs suspend pitcher Carlos Zambrano indefinitely after he throws a tantrum in the dugout after giving up four runs in the 1st inning of a 6-0 loss to the White Sox. “Big Z” blames first baseman Derrek Lee for letting a Juan Pierre ground ball past him for a double that starts the rally, although the hard-hit ball was hardly catchable. Tom Gorzelanny replaces Zambrano who is removed from the game by manager Lou Piniella. 2011: Cleveland’s Tony Sipp balked home the only run with the bases loaded in the seventh inning of a 1-0 loss to San Francisco. Sipp slightly flinched his left arm before throwing a pitch to Emmanuel Burriss, allowing Miguel Tejada to score and sending San Francisco to its fourth straight win. There also were two errors in the inning by second baseman Cord Phelps that spoiled a strong start by Justin Masterson. 2013: Eric Filia drove in a career-high five runs, Nick Vander Tuig limited Mississippi State to five hits in eight innings, and UCLA won 8-0 its first national baseball championship. 2014: Tim Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter against the San Diego Padres in less than a year, allowing only one runner and leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 win. 2015: The San Francisco Giants hit four triples in a game for the first time in 55 years, including a pair by Brandon Belt in a 13-8 win over the San Diego Padres. Brandon Crawford and Matt Duffy also tripled for San Francisco, which had not tripled four times in a game since Sept. 15, 1960, when Willie Mays hit three and Eddie Bressoud one at Philadelphia.

TUK TUK THAI

BY IAN McNULTY Staff writer

I’ve been eating lately at Tuk Tuk Thai like I’m making up for lost time, because, in fact, I am. And really I should have known better. This tiny Thai restaurant has a love affair with pork, beautifully rendered in cracklin. Tuk Tuk Thai restaurant in Metairie goes deep on specials like pork belly, and demonstrated in one dish in a simple pairing with bitter Thai kale (better known as Chinese broccoli, leafy and bitter). Even awash in a garlicky brown bean sauce, the fatty, bubble-pocked pork sang with crunch, and indeed it still did the next day in a second meal of leftovers. Then there’s the specials

board, which reunited me with a dish I haven’t been able to find for years — stuffed chicken wings. A very similar dish was a signature at Emeril Lagasse’s restaurant NOLA for at least 20 years, and I’ve carried a jones since it closed in the pandemic. The Tuk Tuk Thai version is filled with a fine blend of pork, herbs and rice noodles, which lightens the texture under the crisp, fried chicken skin, which becomes a shell.

Sweet taste of summer shines among surprise seasonal dishes

Seafood becomes barbecue and charcuterie at Quarter restaurant

BY IAN McNULTY

The bar at Ralph’s on the Park was busy hosting a business mixer during the weekday happy hour last week. Then, through the crowd, I saw the waiter gingerly navigating through the elbows with a cappuccino cup topped with foam balanced on a saucer. This was for me, anticipation was building, and it was not a coffee drink to end the meal, but the arrival of a creative dish that embodies what I love about summertime

Many of the fish bound for the menu at GW Fins come into the kitchen whole. But for years now, executive chef Mike Nelson and his crew have been finding new and often compellingly delicious ways to send it back out to the dining room. The upscale French Quarter seafood house is a leader in techniques that make the most of the local catch and developing its flavor potential.

Continued from page 1D

By The Associated Press Today is Wednesday, June 25, the 176th day of 2025. There are 189 days left in the year. Today in history On June 25, 1950, war broke out in Korea as forces from the communist North invaded the South. The conflict would last for over three years and would be responsible for an estimated 4 million deaths, an estimated 3 million of whom were civilians. On this date: In 1876, the Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as Custer’s Last Stand, began in southeastern Montana Territory. As many as 100 Native Americans were killed in the battle, as were 268 people attached to the 7th Cavalry Regiment, including George Armstrong Custer and Mark Kellogg, the first Associated Press reporter to die in the line of duty. In 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which set a minimum wage, guaranteed overtime pay and banned “oppressive child labor,” was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1947, “The Diary of a Young Girl,” the personal journal of Anne Frank, a Germanborn Jewish girl hiding with her family from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II, was first published. In 1973, former White House Counsel John Dean began testifying before the Senate Watergate Committee, implicating top administration officials, including President Richard Nixon as well as himself, in the Watergate scandal and cover-up. In 1990, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health, its first “right-to-die” decision, ruled 5-4 that family members could be barred from ending the lives of persistently comatose relatives who had not made their wishes known conclusively. In 1993, Kim Campbell was sworn in as Canada’s 19th prime minister, the first woman to hold the post. In 1996, a truck bomb killed 19 Americans and injured hundreds at a U.S. military housing complex in Saudi Arabia. In 2015, in the case of King v.

These wings have been on the specials board each time I’ve visited recently, but there’s much more, and I have some catching up to do.

We’ve met them before Tuk Tuk Thai has been around for two years now, and it’s been on my list to try, but did not exactly catapult up the list. We’ve had a particularly rich harvest of Thai restaurants lately, and a quick glance at the menu didn’t do much to differentiate it from the pack. That was a mistake. It was only after the first eye-popping good meal that I realized I knew this crew from their earlier works. Terry Cuskelly and her husband Krits Saisunee had wowed me before, more than a decade ago, when they had a West Bank restaurant called My Thai Cuisine. Now, the couple and Cuskelly’s sister Jar Williamson run Tuk Tuk Thai. It blends into the streetscape of boxy little strip malls and tight parking lots in the stretch of Veterans Boulevard.

RALPH’S

Continued from page 1D dining in New Orleans right now. It’s a sweet corn truffle foam cappuccino, a soup finished with black truffle foam, and it’s so good that I’ve had it three times in the span of 10 days. The first taste almost didn’t happen. Everyone knows summertime is slow for New Orleans restaurants. But it’s also a time for gorgeous seasonal specials harvesting the best of summer, and also when restaurants get creative with deals and special events to bring people out. This summer, I’ve been hot on the trail of these delightful dining outings. Ralph’s on the Park, the Ralph Brennan restaurant by City Park, has a perennial one that is hard to beat.

Trying the summer deal

You can get the Thai basics here, and the papaya salad is one I have to try at every Thai restaurant, like gumbo at a new Creole place. But from here, I’m ﬂipping past the “rice-and-noodles-add-protein” section and going straight to the back of the menu, where the chef specials and regional signatures live.

Specials and street food For more on this kitchen’s way with pork, get the kao moo dang, a nod to the strong Chinese inﬂuence in Thai food. It’s char siu pork, roasted in a sweet, sticky sauce, paired with more of the fried pork belly. Boiled eggs and a bit of salad serve as window dressing for what is really a pork platter. There’s more. Black mussels are in a broth swimming with roasted red chili, earthy against the seafood, with crinkly, butter roti bread on the side. The muk kai kem brings calamari rings in a sauce enriched with salted egg, which ends up like a creamy jellied umami booster between the crunch of stir-fried vegetables. This kitchen is adding new dishes all the time as specials. There’s a riff on nam prik ong, a dish of

and the modest increase makes it an even better deal now. It’s served at dinner only, through Sept. 14. It’s also a fun way to eat. You pick from a wide range of 16 appetizers, salads and soups, and there are select wines, which are always decent, because this is a place with class. I turned up to try this year’s edition on a Monday night, which is how I learned Ralph’s on the Park has happy hour prices on drinks all night on Monday (otherwise, the happy hour is weekdays, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.) With two people, we could try six appetizers, an impressive spread. These are fully-formed dishes, not bites. Shrimp Scully, a longtime house signature, has a tempura batter with a candied-like crunch and a Crystal hot sauce pepper jelly sauce, with smoked almonds. Another dish of blackened shrimp is arrayed around sweet corn puree and a red pepper sabayon. There’s a watermelon gazpacho and tuna crudo, Vietnamesestyle beef skewers and a Creole tomato salad among the dishes.

Every summer, they package an offer of three appetizers and a glass of wine, this year at $38. For reference, 10 years ago it was $33 About that soup — correlate that to the rise in just Amid all this, a hot foamy soup about everything else we pay for did not exactly sound like summer

GW FINS

Continued from page 1D steak) has become a marquee signature. Over the next few weeks, the restaurant has a series of special menus that are showing much more, treating local fish to the techniques of slow-and-low barbecue, charcuterie (or “seacuterie”) and more creative renditions. “We break down a lot of tuna and swordﬁsh here, and there’s so much that’s really delicious, the meat around the collars, the belly; people normally don’t get access to it,” Nelson said. “This is about ﬁnding different ways to serve it and open people’s eyes a bit to what’s possible.” These special menus run Sunday through Thursday in their respective weeks, and the restaurant will serve its full menu as well. If you love local seafood, you should be on your radar (or, perhaps ... sonar).

tween a fermented funk and sour spice that packs a wallop. I appreciate a kitchen that indicates certain dishes are going to be spicy, no matter how you order them. You can go up in heat (they just add more chiles), though you can’t go down (which would betray the spirit of the dish). Fine by me; strong chile heat is one of the things I crave in Thai cooking. It’s not a blowtorch to the palate, it’s part of that harmony of ﬂavors that distinguishes this cooking.

(June 29-July 3), which treats cuts from swordfish and tuna to the slow-and-low techniques that pitmasters use for pork and beef. Belly cuts, for instance, aren’t great on the grill because of the high fat and collagen content, Nelson explained. But cook them slowly at low temperatures, like proper barbecue, and the texture and flavor are transformed into luscious bites. GW Fins will assemble platters of the result, combining swordﬁsh rendered like pulled pork, tuna “brisket” and cracklin made from redﬁsh, along with sides, for $35, with an optional bourbon pairing.

‘Swordfish Swap’

Next up, Swordfish Swap Week (July 6-10) taps into what Nelson has found to be the versatility of swordfish in traditional recipes that normally call for pork, thanks to its texture and higher fat content. “It truly is the pork of the sea,” Nelson said. “I can take any recipe for charcuterie and just use swordDeep Sea BBQ platters fish and don’t change anything else First up is Deep Sea BBQ Week and it works.”

Stuffed chicken wings with pork and rice noodles are a special at Tuk Tuk Thai in Metairie.

ground pork with shrimp paste and cooked-down tomatoes, usually served as a meaty salad to scoop and dip. Tuk Tuk Thai serves it over spaghetti like a Thai Bolognese, though there’s pork rinds to alternate dip-like bites anyway. Similar is khua kling, but without noodles and closer to a Thai curry. It’s alive with crunchy bites of galangal (like a citrusy ginger) and whole kafﬁr lime leaves tucked be-

fare. But we gamely gave it a go and what materialized was one of those ephemeral tastes of seasonal flavor that feel like perhaps the Louisiana summer is trying to win you over again. A sip brings a cloud of soft corn flavor, laced with truffle, a nutty, buttery flavor against the corn and cream. That was how the week started. A few days later, the same dish turned up again at an event for the New Orleans Wine & Food Experience, where it had won a medal in the soup category. I learned it was available between the wine tasting tables because people kept coming up to me to recommend it. “Yes, I know, I know,” I told them, clutching the rosé glass a little tighter. “But where is it?” Eventually found in a corner amid the swirl of wine, I can also now confirm that this marvelous dish tastes just as good from a paper cup. A craving for the dish stuck with me, so it was back for a third try at that busy happy hour. It’s served daily as part of the three-app deal and also on the regular full menu.

How they make it The dish is one of the new menu

It’s not about mimicking pork, though, and these seafood versions will be much leaner anyway. It’s about amping up fish with tasty techniques first proven with pork that use more of the animal. This week’s menu will show it with dishes like muffaletta sliders with swordfish mortadella, swordfish Bolognese pasta and a BLT with swordfish bacon, among other ideas. This will be priced by dish.

The menu also makes plain which of the dishes use imported seafood, even the shrimp, so at least they acknowledge it. Portions are generous and prices are good. If two people spend $80 here, they’re having at least one more meal of leftovers. There’s a small bar that does make some specialty cocktails, including spiked frozen boba tea, something I’ve been looking for since the demise of MoPho. The ability of so small of a restaurant to quietly deliver such gratifying food at reasonable prices is a joy to discover, or maybe in this case to rediscover.

additions from chef Chris Vazquez, who became executive chef at Ralph’s on the Park earlier this year after many years with the company. He gave some insight on how it comes together. “It is my desire to capture Mother Nature’s flavor at its peak, then combine an element of luscious decadence which elevates the whimsical style of the playful cappuccino cup,” he told me. The kitchen makes a stock with silver queen corn, prized for its creaminess, and adds heavy cream, sweet onion, more silver queen corn, salt and pepper. After a quick cook, it’s blended and strained, so you taste the corn in smooth liquid form. At service, this gets topped with a combination of truffle stock and crème fraîche, hit with a hand blender to get the right, medium foam consistency. That foam cap stays intact when you draw a spoon through it or if you just pick up the cup and sip, which gives a strongly nostalgic feeling of dining in the ’90s again. But it’s the seasonal taste, vividness of the flavor combination and vanishing texture that makes it such a fresh summer delight right now.

poke, tartare, “ﬁrecracker” tacos, smoked dip and seared steaks.

This special menu uses fresh cuts, but it’s also a clue that two weeks later, the dry-aged cuts will likely be ready for their periodic appearance, so if you want to try this regal dish, early August would be a good time to inquire.

n Smiles of A Summer Night Butterflies, lush flowers and hues of blue decorated the Write On Stationery invitation that bannered “A Summer Night” as the theme and emblem for the party in honor of five debutantes of the new season. Scripted in soft blue on a white background were “Ashley, Lilly, Caroline, Ellie and Charlotte.” More David and Meredith Picou, Ginny and Adam Wirth formally, they are Ashley Conner Ellis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.William Conner Ellis III, Kelly and Bill; Lillian Lair Hooper, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Andre von Kurnatowski Hooper, Kristen “Kiki” and Andre; Caroline Staples Picou, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Louis Picou, Meredith and David; Elizabeth McLundie Bolton Schmidt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Justin Burton Schmidt, Mary and Justin; and Charlotte Sydney Wirth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Adam Roy Wirth, Ginny and Adam. Befitting the theme, the New Orleans Country Club’s entrance and reception rooms became the staging for a picturesque summer night. As guests entered, they Justin and Mary Schmidt, Kelly and Bill Ellis immediately noticed the draped smilax that outlined the doorway. Within the main ballroom, the statement piece, a 24-foot wide curved bar, was backed by a custom lattice backdrop, “mirrored” rectangles, floral profusions and more smilax. Furthering the effect of a garden in full bloom were 13-foot myrtle trees, towering topiaries, hydrangeas and peonies, and more flowers, such as those on the mantel of the Founder’s Room and on tabletops in soft shades of pink, purple, blue and green. Blue and sage linens and uplighting throughout the club tied the look together and added a Andre Hooper, Wyatt Hooper, Kiki Hooper fresh summery touch. Credited with the ambiance were party planner Maria Maginnis with InNola Events & Design; Pamela “Pam” Georges of Pameladennis for the floral embellishment; and See-Hear Productions for the lights, staging, backdrop and bars. “Summer cocktail attire” was the requested dress. The feted fivesome and their moms turned out in lovely sartorial force. Ashley’s dress by Copurs was designed in Istanbul, while Kelly’s sported a British label, The Vampire’s Wife; Lilly and Kiki respectively chose Zimmerman and Costarellos (from SOSUSU Duke Wirth, Conery Schmidt, Billy Boutique); and couturiere Suzanne Perron St. Paul fashPicou ioned the frocks for Caroline and Meredith, Ellie and Mary, and Charlotte and Ginny. Fine fabrics, appliques and lovely colors characterized the creations. The fathers and the brothers wore summer suits with matching navy blue NOLA Couture ties featuring an Alex Beard “under the sea” theme. Family and nearest-dearest friends reveled with the hosts, as did the debs’ college chums. Many of the guest lists overlapped. The Ellises included grandmother and stepgrandfather Nancy and Tommy Gennusa, deb sisters Coco Ellis Howe and husband Jonathan and Kate Ellis with Langston Goldenberg, and Lise and Will Morrow,Vivian Morrow, Diann and John Stathakis, Laura and Chip Brooks, Shannon and Evans Schmidt,Tracy and Tommy Mason, Bonnie Grady, Julian Beaujeu-Dufour, Marshall Wilt,Virginia Shelton, and Pierce Bewley. Grandparents Sandy and Tommy Anzelmo and Joan Hooper and Julian Feibelman, hobnobbed with the Hoopers, as did deb brother Wyatt Hooper, Deirdre and Christian Hooper with daughter Eleonore “Ellie,” Francine and Westy Ballard, Erica and James Reiss, Courtney and Richard Montgomery,Anne and Billy Goliwas,Anne Lynne and Storey Charbonnet,Will French and fiancee Tricia Sarpy, and Ashley and Tim Francis. The Picou partygoers were grandparents Gayle and Martin Macdiarmid, deb brother William “Billy” Picou, Elizabeth and Trey Macdiarmid, Mimi and Alan Gorman, Karyn and Bill Kearney,Andree Batt, Bailey and Kell Kelleher, Kellie and Robert Hardie, Lauren and Nathan Schrantz, Boo and Sid Charbonnet, Nancy and Michael Walshe, Lisette Normann, and Jeanne and Jubi Hillery. Along with gazing was grazing. In addition to the passed appetizers, the culinary favorites were the country club’s beef carving station, seared ahi tuna, shrimp and grits, smoked chicken and manchego quesadillas, and penne pasta. Rock-n-Sake Metairie prepared onsite sushi with lots of takers. For the sweet tooth — and before the late night fare, which included grilled cheese sandwiches, sliders, french fries and beignets — floral-shaped cookies in the college colors of the five debs filled the bill. The liquid complement, a real eye-catcher, was an ice sculpture carved with the party logo that served as a vodka luge for chilled martinis and cosmopolitans. Making these rounds and others were the Schmidts’ set, including grandparents Beth Hassinger and Phyllis and Michael Schmidt, as well as Schmidt siblings: deb brother Calder with fiancee Winnie McCarthy, and sisters Conery and Anna. Also, Cathy Drennan, Betsy and Woodie Van Horn, Sheldon and Michael Schmidt, Kathleen Schmidt, Marguerite and Jimmy Kick, Helen and Tim Young, Miriam and Ned Henry, Doug Holmes with fiancee Janet Morse,Wendy Joseph,Anne and Jody Guillot, Rachael and Christian Gambel, Cinny and Andy Anderson, Dee McCloskey, Laura and Paul Politz, and Marilee and Andrew Hovet. Charlotte Wirth’s grandfather Bruce Worley and brother Duke Wirth celebrated, as did Dr. Knight Worley with daughter Eugenie, Beverly and George Ruckman with Elizabeth, Meghan and David Newsome, Erin and Michael Cook, Betsy and Maunsell Howard, Jill and Clark Heebe,Annie and Nat Phillips, Megan Lovoi, Chrissy Connolly, Jane Wesley, Barkley Laing, Lindsey Runnels, and Whitney Lancaster. Music added to the estival excitement, starting with John Parker and his band who jazzed up the reception, and, later on, The Phunky Monkeys were showcased in the Gold Room. Lighting upon the wall behind the stage was lilac with playful circular outlines in chartreuse. As always, the song “Proud Mary” got the groove on, with the crowd sporting white blinky leis. Moments earlier, one number made an inclusive statement. It was “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” and for Ashley, Lilly, Caroline, Ellie and Charlotte that was clearly the case.

n Partying in Provence The Abbott family winged its own in theme and tribute to the south of France for debutante delights. On light lavender-colored stock, surrounded by a thin white border, the Scriptura invitation’s wording stated “You are cordially invited to Une Fête Provençale honoring Vivian Bryce Jones and Cecile Amanda Abbott,” first cousins. The hostesses were grandmother Anne Hamilton Abbott, and mothers Cathryn Boyd Abbott (of Vivian) and Tina Fuller Abbott (to Cecile). Cathryn, also Mrs. Samuel Wagner, is a fairly recent bride. Both debutantes have fond memories of family time in the south of France. Ladies were invited for four o’clock, while “Gentlemen (were) welcome at the Thé Dansant five-thirty.” Vicky Evans Events was the party planner. Lovely lavender decorations made the thematic “Summer in Provence” a virtual reality, thanks to wisteria framing the doors of the UpLee Abbott, Anne Abbott, Sam Wagner town club, the party site; the stupendous to-the-chandelier centerpiece of white and soft purple flowers, including roses, that sat atop a long runner with watercolor accents; and individual bouquets on tables with lavender linens. Vivian chose a tea dress by Berenice, while Cecile made Elliatt her mode. Moms Cathryn and Tina (Mrs. Charles Abbott, Elaine Abbott, James Jones Herschel Lee Abbott III) were outfitted, in turn, by Miss June Paris and Badgley Mischka. Yvonne La Fleur designed the jacketed ensemble for Anne (Mrs. Herschel Lee Abbott Jr.). The family fun and fare was savored by Vivian’s dad from Commerce, Georgia, Jim Jones and her Los Angeles-based brother James Jones; and Cecile’s siblings, Elaine and Charles Abbott. Others, and some from away, were Meredith and Stephen Rowland, Nancy and Carrick Inabnett, John Ormond, Dee McCloskey, Julie Fuller, Jamie Blair,Audrey Colaianni, Eleanor Durrance, Cassandra Colaianni, Sofia Colaianni, Debbie and Scott Yount,Alanna and Peter Wanek,Allison and Rob Steinfeld, and Chris and Joanna Leopold. To mention a few who appreciated the food’s French flair. Particularly appealing were the lavender macarons from Sully the Baker, and, as drinks, old fashioneds in honor of the debs’ late grandfather Herschel Abbott Jr., who, according to the family, “was definitely there in spirit.” More features were the musical stylings by Pardon My French (and in that language) including Edith Piaf standards, “Non, je ne regrette rien” and “La vie en rose”; dancing duos — and a few spirited singles; and party favors of lavender sachets. Especially joyful were the products of two sur place artists, watercolorist Kelly Kristin and live painter Alex Harvie. Working in a paint-spattered suit and sunglasses, Harvie rendered the glee of the gallivanting on his canvas. Smack in the center, and one in white and the other in lavender, were renditions of the celebrated Cecile and Vivian.

B.C.

Bridge By PHILLIP ALDER Richard Gough was born in Sweden, raised in South Africa, played soccer in Scotland and now resides in San Diego. He said, “There are a lot of things to weigh up when a soccer transfer happens, and money is a big factor.” There are a lot of things to weigh up when a bridge transfer bid happens, too, and fit for partner’s major is a big factor. We are looking at responder’s transfers into the major suits when opener has a balanced hand. Almost all of the time, the opener completes the transfer, even with a low doubleton. But when he has four-card support, a maximum and a doubleton, he may jump in responder’s major — a superaccept. The South hand in today’s diagram is textbook. After North responds two hearts, showing five-plus spades, South rebids three spades. (He must not jump to four spades, since responder might have no points at all.) This persuades North to take the push into four spades (although passing is conceivable.) After West leads the heart ace, how should the play proceed? First, East should drop his queen under partner’s ace, showing the queen and jack. Probably West will continue with a low heart, and East will shift to a diamond, but declarer wins with his

ace, draws trumps, and plays on clubs. He will discard two diamonds from the board on his long clubs and lose only two hearts and one club. Note that if South rebids only two spades, North will pass, his hand not being strong enough to invite game with a two-no-trump rebid. © 2025 by nEa, inc., dist. By andrews mcmeel syndication
