La. child welfare agency touts progress Lawmakers express skepticism at committee meeting

BY MEGHAN FRIEDMANN Staff writer

Leaders for the Louisiana Department of Children & Family Services say they have made strides in alleviating the heavy caseloads for Child Protective Ser-

vices staff that have long plagued the agency, all but eliminating backlogs in every region outside of Baton Rouge. But some lawmakers expressed skepticism about those assertions when they spoke with DCFS ofﬁcials at the State Capitol on Mon-

day, during a meeting of the Senate Select Committee on Women and Children that lasted eight hours. State Sen. Patrick McMath, RCovington, questioned how the agency could have reduced caseloads when it appeared to be losing staff. Lawmakers also raised

concerns about agency’s decision to reassign around 100 state ofﬁce staff to positions in the ﬁeld, and about a policy that changed how foster parents are paid. In recent years, DCFS has faced intense scrutiny over its handling of child deaths related to abuse and neglect. And a 2025 annual report from Kathleen Stewart Richey, the state’s child ombuds-

‘Slammer’ testifies about mentor’s murder U.S. prosecutors’ star witness takes stand

BY JAMES FINN Staff writer

The building is owned by a trust of the late Joe Jaeger, the real estate developer who died two years ago. Attorney Randy Waesche, who serves as the trustee, declined to comment. The teenager, identiﬁed Tuesday as Belle Chasse High School senior Jacque St. Ann, broke into the fenced-off building with friends

Ryan “Red” Harris heard it first from injury attorney Vanessa Motta, then from his own mother through her friend. Cornelius Garrison III, the driver behind the wheel in a bevy of staged wrecks involving Harris’ family members, was cooperating in a federal investigation. “She was mad,” Harris said Tuesday of his mother, Selita Harris, as he testified on the witness stand in a federal courtroom. “She was pissed off about it because he brung up our name.” A month later, Harris said Motta called him to say Garrison had just been indicted by a federal grand jury, confirming their fears. They arranged a meeting for the next day at Motta’s office with her fiancé, a tall former attorney named Sean Alfortish accused in the indictment, though not by name, of working with Motta to file scores of bogus claims from staged 18-wheeler accidents. Alfortish was pacing the room. He seemed angry, too. “They was pretty much saying they want to kill him, they want him dead,” Harris told a Justice Department trial attorney, J. Ryan McLaren. “He was pissed off. He was like he had had enough and was ready to do something about it ASAP.” Harris took the stand Tuesday as the U.S. Justice Department’s star witness in the second blockbuster trial this year over what prosecutors say was a yearslong scheme by Alfortish, Motta and “slammers” — including Garrison and Harris — to defraud insurers and trucking companies. A separate jury convicted Motta in March for her

BY SOPHIE KASAKOVE Staff writer

Mayor Helena Moreno’s administration said police are stepping up patrols this week around the abandoned Plaza Tower on the edge of the Warehouse District after a 17-yearold student fell to his death on the site. But it is the property owner’s responsibility to secure the 45-story

building that’s been the site of at least two other incidents in recent years. “The city is holding the property owner accountable to ensure that the building remains safe and secure,” communications director Jonah Gilmore said in a statement Monday. He said that police will temporarily increase patrols in the area, but that under city law “it is ultimately the

Explosions tear through Ohio building, killing 2

TOLEDO, Ohio — Explosions rocked an Ohio industrial recycling business early Tuesday, killing two workers and sparking a large fire, officials said. Flames and dark smoke poured from Brent Industries in Toledo as fire engines surrounded the building, TV news video showed. Crews later discovered the bodies of two employees, a man and a woman, inside the smoldering building, said Toledo Fire Chief Allison Armstrong. Two or three other employees had minor injuries, she said. Two explosions occurred shortly before 5 a.m., during a shift change, Armstrong said. Crews had to deal with hazardous materials, runoff and the threat of more explosions while first searching for victims and accounting for the other employees, she said. Environmental officials said monitors showed that there was no hazardous threat in the air. Demetrius Langston said he felt the explosion half a mile away. He ran outside with his phone and captured video of a huge plume of smoke rising into the dark sky. “The shock waves came down the block,” he said. “Then we all heard it again. Boom! You could feel it.”

Woman accused in plot gets 6 years in prison WASHINGTON — A Massachusetts woman who told police that she brought homemade ﬁrebombs to the U.S. Capitol to kill Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was sentenced on Tuesday to just over six years in prison. Riley English, a 26-year-old transgender woman, said she was in the grips of a mental health crisis and abusing drugs when she drove to Washington in January 2025 and told Capitol police that she was there to kill Bessent on the day of his Senate conﬁrmation. “I never wanted to hurt anyone,” she told U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras. “I’m not a political person. I’m not a violent person.” Contreras, who was nominated to the bench by Democratic President Barack Obama, sentenced English to six years and one month of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release. English has remained jailed since her arrest and will get credit for the nearly 20 months that she already has spent in custody. She pleaded guilty in March to two weapons charges. “You’ve had a very difficult life,” Contreras told English. “Hopefully, the progress you’ve made in jail to this date has set you on the right path.” Nobody was injured, and Contreras said her plan to harm Bessent had an “exceedingly low or nonexistent” chance of success.

Comedians settle suit over airport drug search ATLANTA — Comedians Eric André and Clayton English have reached a settlement in a lawsuit they filed challenging a police program at the Atlanta airport that they said used racial profiling and coercive searches just as airline passengers, particularly Black passengers, were about to board their flights. The lawsuit, originally filed in October 2022, alleged that the two men were racially profiled and illegally stopped by Clayton County police at HartsfieldJackson Atlanta International Airport. The settlement agreement, announced Tuesday by the pair’s lawyers, does not include an admission of fault or liability but says the county has ended the program at issue and has no intention of reactivating it. Both men said officers at the airport singled them out because they were Black and grilled them about drugs while other passengers watched during separate stops about six months apart. In an interview when the lawsuit was filed, André called the experience “dehumanizing and demoralizing.” The stated purpose of the program was to fight drug trafficking, but the lawsuit said drugs are rarely found, criminal charges seldom result, and seized cash provides a financial windfall for the police department.

End to military drills hurt South Korea alliance, observers say Joint exercises prepare for conflicts with North Korea

Liberia agrees to take 1,200 deportees from U.S.

BY HYUNG-JIN KIM

BY MARK MENGONFIA

SEOUL, South Korea — For decades, the United States and South Korea have regularly staged military drills to prepare their soldiers to work together smoothly in the event of a crisis or conﬂict with North Korea. But this year’s Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise, one of two main drills conducted by the allies annually, could be disrupted after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered his Pentagon chief to “substantially” scale it back just before its start Monday. He cited what he said was a good relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korea’s refusal to join the U.S. war against Iran. It was unclear what parts of the 11-day exercise were being cut and to what extent, but many experts say Trump’s move threatens to hurt combined U.S.South Korean readiness and eventually weaken their decades-long alliance. The Ulchi Freedom Shield, or UFS, is largely a computer-simulated command post exercise meant to hone the allies’ ability to deal with potential regional security threats like North Korean aggression. The two countries usually hold ﬁeld training exercises during the command post exercise period. South Korea’s military had earlier said this year’s exercise would be similar in scale to previous years, with the participation of about 18,000 South Korean

MONROVIA, Liberia — Liberia has agreed to accept up to 1,200 third-country deportees from the United States, authorities in the West African country said Tuesday, in one of the largest such arrangements under the Trump administration’s broader crackdown on immigration. The deportees will be received within a year, with the first batch of 20 expected on Thursday, Liberia’s Information Minister Jerolinmek Piah told reporters. The 1,200 deportees will include Africans as well as nationals from North America, South America and the Caribbean, Piah said. Under a series of often-secret agreements, the Trump administration has deported thousands of people to nearly two dozen countries that are not their own, advocates say, with about 10 of them in Africa. A key issue in the agreements is that they can involve migrants with protection orders from a U.S. immigration judge not to be returned to their home countries because of concerns for their safety. The Liberian minister did not say if the deportees expected in Liberia had such protection orders. Liberia’s Justice Minister Natu Oswald Tweh said at Tuesday’s brieﬁng that the country has screened the list of migrants ahead of their arrival. “Most of them are people who had immigration violations and offenses,” he said. They “may wish to seek asylum” in Liberia after their arrival or “can leave the country whenever they desire,” Piah said. Piah added that Liberia will receive support from the U.S. to manage the program and strengthen its migration system. “Liberia’s gesture is entirely humanitarian and in keeping with the country’s longstanding traditions,” he said. “The government of Liberia intends to provide the transferred persons with the necessary support to seek protection in Liberia and to be safe during their stay here.”

The U.S. military said it would incorporate lessons from recent conflicts such as North Korea’s battlefield experiences on the Russia-Ukraine front. Local media reported South Korea and the U.S. had planned 14 field training exercises. The UFS, along with a similar joint war game in the spring, is a central pillar of the U.S.-South Korea alliance, which dates back to the 1950-53 Korean War. But it’s also a long-running source of tensions with North Korea, which has denounced the exercises as a rehearsal for war and responded with provocative missile tests. On Friday, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. and South Korea of plotting more provocative drills this year and vowed to respond with “a new level of a deterrent.” The U.S. and South Korea have said their regular drills are defensive in nature.

In a social media post, Trump called the exercise costly, “with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America.” During his first term, Trump complained about the cost of drills with South Korea, suspending joint exercises in 2018 to advance now-stalled nuclear negotiations with North Korea. Gen. Xavier Brunson, commander of about 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea, visited South Korean Defense Minister Ahn Gyu-back on Tuesday for talks likely focusing on the adjustment of this year’s drills, according to media reports. South Korea’s Defense Ministry said it couldn’t confirm the reports. Yang Uk, an analyst at Seoul’s Asan Institute for Policy Studies, said the U.S. will likely participate in the command post exercise but cancel “some costly field training that requires large-scale movements of troops.”

Navy destroyer breaks down in the Pacific BY KONSTANTIN TOROPIN

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A U.S. Navy destroyer with about 300 sailors aboard suffered a major breakdown in the Pacific Ocean last month that left it without power for four days, the Navy conﬁrmed in a statement. The USS Benfold “reported an engineering casualty involving its generators, causing a loss of power” on July 24, Navy spokesman Cmdr. Matthew Comer said in the statement. The breakdown meant the crew went without

drinking water, meals, functioning toilets and air conditioning for days aboard the ship, Comer said. The incident, which only became public on Friday when it was ﬁrst reported by USNI News, comes as the Pentagon grapples with serious questions about the quality of life aboard naval vessels and the military’s ability to supply ships during the conﬂict with Iran. Democratic lawmakers are calling for investigations into conditions aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. Reports last week revealed that the ship, which has spent a record-setting

250 uninterrupted days at sea, has experienced shortages of supplies, including food and hygiene products, while crew members have suffered from stress and poor mental health. Comer stressed that there were no injuries to the crew of the Benfold, “who demonstrated resilience, grit, professionalism, and unwavering steadiness in their response,” but that the ship needed assistance from the George Washington carrier strike group. The cruiser USS Robert Smalls provided meals to the stricken destroyer.

NEW YORK — Frank Beard, the drummer for the Texas boogie-rock trio ZZ Top who kept the tempo for the band’s biggest hits like “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Legs” and “Gimme All Your Lovin,” has died. He was 77. Beard was in hospice care when he died Tuesday at his ranch in Richmond, Texas, with family members at his side, according to publicist Bob Merlis. Band co-founder and guitarist Billy Gibbons, on tour with bassist Elwood Francis, hailed Beard in a statement. “Today, Elwood and I lost a great friend and collaborator, and the world lost one of the most naturally innovative drummers and a great and true son of Texas. His signature backbeat was key to keeping ZZ on top. The band of which he was part for six decades is going to keep on keeping on as he had wished,” Gibbons said. ZZ Top sold more than 50 million records and had six singles that reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. Seven of their albums have been in the Billboard 200’s Top 10 and they earned three Grammy Award nominations. “I’ve found the people I was meant to play with,” Beard says in the 2019 documentary “ZZ Top: That Little Ol’ Band from Texas.” “I never wanted to quit, and never wanted to get ﬁred.” Beard, from Frankston, Texas, met Gibbons in a band called The Moving Sidewalks and later introduced bassist and vocalist Dusty Hill who had been in several bands with Beard. The trio formed ZZ Top in 1969, naming themselves in part after blues singer Z.Z. Hill and inﬂuenced by the British power trio Cream and Jimmy Reed. They main-

tained their original lineup for more than ﬁve decades. Their signature look — long, bushy beards on Gibbons and Hill, and dark sunglasses for all — didn’t change much, either. ZZ Top songs — with their sly and humorous lyrics — were popular in Hollywood, which used “Gimme All Your Lovin’ ” in “Happy Feet,” “Sharp Dressed Man” in “Evan Almighty,” “Legs” in “Air,” “Sleeping Bag” in “I, Tonya,” “Tush” in “Dazed and Confused,” “Mexican Blackbird” in “From Dusk Till Dawn” and “La Grange” in “Armageddon.” “The best way to describe ZZ Top is we’re interpreters of a great American art form,” Gibbons told The Dallas Morning News. Hill died in 2021. In March 2025, the band announced via Instagram that Beard would temporarily step away from the band’s tour to tend to foot and ankle problems. Beard died weeks after ZZ Top called off its Aug. 5 concert at the Hollywood Bowl due to his health issues. Beard is survived by his wife, Debbie Meredith, and three children.

CAIRO — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Oman because he is unhappy that the country is close to a deal with Iran to manage ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, two regional officials said on Tuesday, a day after Trump leveled the threat. The officials said the Trump administration has told Oman it is opposed to parts of the yet-to-be-announced deal, including the joint Iranian and Omani management of the exit route out of the passage that’s critical to global supplies of oil and natural gas. The officials were briefed on the U.S. position and how the administration views Oman’s position. Meanwhile, a projectile hit a ship as it sailed out of the strait, and a cargo vessel was rendered a “constructive total loss” by multiple projectiles off the coast of Yemen, according to the British military’s maritime monitoring agency. The defense ministry of the United Arab Emirates said two ballistic missiles were launched from Iran toward the UAE. An Iranian official said the strait would not reopen until the United States meets Iran’s conditions. The U.S. believes Oman has not been tough enough in its negotiations with Iran and is unhappy with Oman’s agreement to collect voluntary fees from vessels, even if the charges are related to security and maritime environmental protection, according to the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to journalists. Trump on Monday threatened to bomb Oman as it works with Iran on a deal to open the strait and pave the

the Strait of Hormuz off Bandar Abbas, Iran, earlier this month. way for the U.S. and Iran to resume negotiations to end the war. He posted a map on social media on Tuesday depicting the strait as a U.S. territory. The president first mentioned the idea in an offhand comment last week. On Monday, he told reporters in the Oval Office, “I like the idea of declaring it a territory,” without providing details. The White House on Tuesday referred to Trump’s remarks in the Oval Office and declined to comment further. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi appeared to respond to Trump’s post on social media depicting the strait as American territory. “Just as Trump correctly wrote the name of the eternal Persian Gulf, his delusion regarding the Strait of Hormuz will soon either be corrected, or we will correct this deluded man’s delusions for him,” Gharibabadi wrote on X. Trump’s comment on Monday was not the first time he has threatened Oman. In May, he told reporters during a Cabinet meeting that Oman “will behave just like everybody else, or we will have to blow them up.” Iran reiterated Tuesday that Tehran plans to maintain its grip on shipping traffic until Washington meets its conditions. “Until the United States fulfills its commitments under the agreement, including lifting the blockade, releasing frozen assets, lifting oil sanctions, ending threats and military operations on all fronts, and implementing the other conditions to which it committed, the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen,” said Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Iran’s parliamentary speaker and negotiator

in previous talks with the U.S. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that the Iranian-Omani deal could pave the way for Washington and Tehran to return to negotiations for a “comprehensive and permanent deal that addresses all concerns and enhances regional security and stability.” The statement came after a meeting between Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Omani counterpart Badr al-Busaidi. But it did not address Trump’s latest threat against Oman. Trump said on Tuesday the U.S. has no planned talks with Iran but insisted the strait is “open and operating,” despite limited traffic, the reported boat strike and the end on Monday of the 60-day negotiating period between the countries. Trump wrote on social media that a U.S. blockade of the strait remains “in full force and effect,” adding that all water mines have been removed. As the talks between Iran and Oman continue, more attacks were reported in the region. Both missiles fired at the UAE fell into the sea, the UAE Defense Ministry said. No damage or injuries were reported. Iran disputed the UAE’s claim that it launched missiles toward the country. The ministry later said assessments showed that the missiles targeted maritime traffic. It was not clear whether they directly targeted UAE ships or the country’s territorial waters. In the weeks after the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran on Feb. 28, the UAE was frequently targeted by Iranian missiles and drones, but Tuesday’s reported attack was the first in weeks.

DAMASCUS, Syria — Israel struck an air base in northwest Syria early Tuesday, saying it aimed to prevent Turkish troops from deploying there. Turkey, which has close ties with the Syrian government and has been providing assistance to Syria’s military, has tense relations with Israel. The rival countries have sought to curb each other’s influence in neighboring Syria. Eight strikes hit the runway of the Abu Duhur air base in the northwestern province of Idlib, causing damage but no casualties, state TV said. Syria’s Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani told reporters in Damascus that Syria condemns the “Israeli aggression,” adding that the strikes were “an unjustiﬁed provocation, a violation of Syria’s sovereignty, and a direct threat to regional and global stability.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ofﬁce said in a statement that Israel had attacked the base because Syria had been “on the verge of breaching” an agreed-upon “status quo in security matters” by allowing Turkish troops to deploy there. “Israel repeatedly warned Syria that such a deployment would pose a threat to Israel’s security. Syria chose to ignore these warnings,” the statement said. The Foreign Ministry of Turkey condemned the attack in a statement and called for “the international community to take a more decisive stance to end Israel’s escalating aggression

ian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, said foreign fighters used to stay at the base before they were recently asked to leave. The Observatory added that Turkey, which is a main backer of Syria’s government, has been rehabilitating the air base that had been out of service for years during Syria’s conflict that left nearly half a million people dead. Tom Barrack, the U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, posted on X that Washington is “deeply concerned that the confirmed Israeli airstrikes” on the Abu Duhur air base constitute “an unnecessary escalation that does not advance regional stability.” The government of Syria’s interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa has neither “adopted a predatory posture nor maintained proxy forces” but has repeatedly indicated a preference for de-escalation with Israel, Barrack said. The United States has in the past hosted, and will continue in the future to host, discussions to encourage diplomacy, Barrack added. Regional countries including Qatar, Egypt and Saudi Arabia also issued statements condemning the strikes. Since the fall of Bashar Assad’s government in December 2024 when insurgents marched into his seat of power in Damascus, tensions between Israel and Turkey over Syria have been on the rise. Israel carried out hundreds of airstrikes around Syria after Assad’s fall, mainly destroying assets of the Syrian army to keep them out of the hands of his successors.

BY ERIC TUCKER and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Trump administration task force created to combat antisemitism pushed for settlements with Ivy League universities despite government investigations that were rushed and incomplete or that failed to establish legal violations by the schools, a former Justice Department lawyer alleged in a whistleblower disclosure obtained by The Associated Press. The complaint alleges that the investigations into some of the nation’s most prestigious academic institutions were designed to strong-arm the schools into cutting deals for political purposes. Outcomes of the investigations were “predetermined, without regard to the evidence” in a “politically mandated effort” to extract money from schools through settlement demands and funding freezes under the pretext of rooting out antisemitism, the complaint alleges. The work of the multiagency task force, launched by the Justice Department under then-Attorney General Pam Bondi in 2025, was “marked by extraordinary procedural irregularities, predetermined outcomes without factual or legal support” and disregard for the law and Constitution, lawyers for the former government attorney wrote in seeking watchdog investigations into their client’s complaints. The complaint taps into a broader public discussion about the administration’s efforts to confront allegations of antisemitism at colleges, a problem that received re-

White House with a goal of rooting out antisemitism that he said had gone unchecked during the Biden administration, but critics have called his government’s response heavy-handed and said it infringed on free speech rights and coerced concessions from public institutions. Lawyers for the former Justice Department attorney, identified as Haley Van Erem, filed the disclosure with the inspectors general at the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services, as well as with the Office of Special Counsel. Van Erem spent nearly a decade working in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division before being involuntarily assigned to HHS to work on the Title VI investigations into the universities, the complaint says. The health department assignees were initially told to scrutinize allegations of antisemitism at medical school commencement ceremonies — the lawyers were advised of a New York Post story describing antisemitic conduct at graduation events, the complaint says — but the inquiries were later expanded to focus on the entire schools in the cases of Columbia and Brown, according to Van Erem’s account. Van Erem left the Justice Department in May 2025 because she was “unwilling to be made vulnerable to further participation in politically motivated investigations unsupported by facts and contrary to law,” says the complaint, which also says “officials targeted some Middle East Studies faculty for the content of their work and other professors for their Muslim faith.”

Minn. AG sues Texas governor Ellison seeking to compel extradition of ICE agent for trial

BY MARK VANCLEAVE and RUSS BYNUM Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota’s attorney general sued the governor of Texas on Tuesday, seeking to compel the extradition of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent charged with wounding a man and then lying to justify the shooting during the agency’s crackdown in Minneapolis. Attorney General Keith Ellison is asking a federal judge to bar the sheriff in Cameron County, Texas, from releasing ICE agent Christian Castro, and to order Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to sign his extradition warrant so that Minnesota officers can take custody. Minnesota officials have clashed with the federal government over who has jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute federal officers for onduty conduct. Ellison is a Democrat and Abbott is a Republican ally of President Donald Trump. Castro was arrested in Texas in May on Minnesota charges of assault and falsely reporting a crime in the Jan. 14 wounding of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. Castro, 52, is accused of firing a gun through the front door of a Minneapolis home, striking Sosa-Celis in the leg with a bullet that lodged in a child’s bedroom wall.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is asking a federal judge to order Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to sign an ICE agent’s extradition warrant so that Minnesota officers can take him into custody. Prosecutors say Castro then falsely accused Sosa-Celis and another man of attacking an ICE officer with a broom handle and a snow shovel. Ellison told a news conference that unless he’s extradited, Castro could be released from jail next week — 90 days since he was detained — under Texas law. And if he’s freed, Castro could slip into Mexico from the border town where he’s being held, Ellison said. The lawsuit said Castro has been making calls from jail to a woman in Mexico, talking “about marrying her

and buying a house in Mexico when he is released.” “Christian Castro has been charged with breaking the law in Minnesota,” Ellison said. “He must face justice in Minnesota. Gov. Abbott should have granted Gov. Walz’s extradition request long ago and is required to do so now.” Abbott said Tuesday that he has no immediate intention to respond to extradition requests from Minnesota. He cited ongoing investigations of fraud in government social service programs in Minnesota, which Trump used to justify his immigration crackdown there. “I will not respond to them at all until they step up and do what’s right and they acknowledge their fault in the fraud that took place,” Abbott said during a news conference on an unrelated topic in Austin, Texas. The extradition lawsuit Ellison ﬁled in U.S. District Court in Texas cites a 1987 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that compliance with the Constitution’s extradition clause is mandatory, affording no discretion to the governor of a state where a defendant is being held. It was not immediately known if Castro had a lawyer who could speak for him. Online court records in Minnesota and county jail records in Texas did not list a defense attorney. The jail holding Castro declined to relay a message to him from The Associated Press. Abbott’s ofﬁce said in a statement that it would not comment on “pending extradition matters.”

U.S., Canada hold last-minute talks to stop tariffs BY PAUL WISEMAN and ROB GILLIES Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. and Canada were negotiating in an effort to reach a truce on tariffs before a midnight Wednesday deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump. If no deal is reached, Trump has threatened to impose 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products, ranging from hockey sticks to tongue depressors. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump have spoken twice by phone in the past two days about the ongoing negotiations, including another call Tuesday afternoon, Carney’s office said, underscoring the last-minute push for a deal.

“We are negotiating,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters Monday, speaking in French. “The negotiations are very intense and delicate. This is not the time to talk about negotiations in public.” The two countries have wrangled for decades over trade, poking each other over sore spots like Canadian softwood lumber imports and U.S. access to Canada’s protected dairy market. Somehow they still managed to remain friends, allies and trading partners. Canadian soldiers fought alongside Americans in Afghanistan after 9/11. The 5,525-mile U.S.-Canada border is undefended, and nearly 330,000 people and $2 billion worth of goods cross it every day; 800,000 Canadians

live in the United States. Trump’s approach to dealing with Canada marks an extraordinary departure from the traditionally cooperative relationship between the two countries. Trump has hit Canadian goods with tariffs — in a push to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. — and has repeatedly made inﬂammatory comments about turning Canada into America’s 51st state. The Canadian public is fed up. A petition to expel the U.S. ambassador, a Trump ally, has collected nearly 218,000 signatures since July 21. It accuses Ambassador Pete Hoekstra of having “normalized” Trump’s talk of annexing Canada, among other complaints.

STARKE, Fla. — A Florida man convicted of fatally shooting his estranged wife and wounding his mother-in-law was executed Tuesday, continuing the state’s aggressive use of the death penalty in Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ ﬁnal term. William Frances Silvia, 61, was pronounced dead at 5:11 p.m. after receiving a three-drug injection at Florida State Prison near Starke. Silvia was already strapped to a gurney with an IV in his arm when the curtain to the death chamber went up at 5 p.m. He remained relatively motionless with his eyes and mouth open throughout

Silvia is the 13th prisoner put to death this year in Florida, which has two more executions scheduled in September. The state has carried out more than half of the nation’s 23 executions so far in 2026. Silvia was sentenced to death after being convicted of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder for the deadly 2006 attack on Patricia Silvia, along with her mother, Betty Woodard. According to court records, William Frances Silvia purchased a shotgun that year

Silvia arrived, and after an unsuccessful attempt to reconcile, authorities said Silvia retrieved the shotgun from his truck and shot the two women. Pamela Wyatt, Patricia Silvia’s sister, said William Frances Silvia’s actions not only took her sister’s life but changed the lives of everyone who loved her. “Nothing that happens today can give us those stolen years. No execution can return Patricia to her children and give her the grandchildren she dreamed of knowing,” Wyatt said after the execution. “But today can be an opportunity to remember that Patricia’s life was bigger than the terrible act that ended it.”

Panettiere’s boyfriend was at apartment, report shows By The Associated Press GREENVILLE, S.C. — Hayden Panettiere’s on-and-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother Zach Hickerson were at the South Carolina apartment where the actor died over the weekend, according to a police report released Tuesday. A Greenville police officer who responded to the residence Sunday afternoon was met by the brothers and then observed param e d i c s p e rforming CPR on Panettiere an unresponsive woman, the report states. “The patient did not seem to have any obvious physical reasons to be unresponsive,” the ofﬁcer notes. After attempting lifesaving measures, the emergency workers declared Panettiere dead at 2:31 p.m. No cause has been determined, and her death remains under investigation. An autopsy found no signs of trauma, and police said ofﬁcers saw no signs of foul play. The onetime child star, who soared to fame in the TV shows “Heroes” and “Nashville” while enduring struggles with alcohol addiction and depression, would have turned 37 on Friday.

Images show SpaceX crater on moon Rocket crashed into lunar surface

BY MARCIA DUNN AP aerospace writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A NASA spacecraft circling the moon is providing the sharpest views yet of the crater carved by a crashing SpaceX rocket. The space agency released before-and-after photos of the impact area Tuesday. The Falcon rocket’s upper stage plowed into the moon at 5,400 mph on Aug. 5 after drifting through space for more than a year. It launched a

pair of private moon landers with experiments and even a tiny rover in 2025 as part of NASA’s push to commercialize lunar exploration. Based on these new photos by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, the fresh crater appears to be 60 feet across and less than 10 feet deep, according to scientists. Dark and bright streaks are clearly visible emanating like butterfly wings from the crater. The darker lines represent excavated material that was close to the surface and shaped by eons of solar wind, cosmic rays and micrometeorite strikes. The brighter rays indicate fresh rocks and dirt that were hurled from far-

14 charged in Penn State drug ring, authorities say Frat pledges cut, packaged drugs, report shows

By The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State fraternity pledges were made to cut and package cocaine for a drug ring that was run out of two offcampus frat houses, authorities said. The illicit initiation was revealed Monday as Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday charged 14 people — including 13 current or former Penn State students — in connection with the alleged drug ring. The man accused of leading the operation, 24-yearold Agostino Abbatiello, surrendered on Tuesday after failing to appear for a scheduled arraignment on Monday on charges including possession with intent to deliver and conspiracy. He was ordered jailed without bail. A message seeking comment was left for Abbatiello’s lawyer. According to court documents, the drug ring operated in 2023 and 2024, fueled by bulk quantities of cocaine that two of the charged men obtained from contacts in Philadelphia and New York. They cut and bagged the drugs mainly at the Sigma Chi and Delta Upsilon fraternity houses, using frat brothers and pledges as labor, then distributed it through Penn State students, court documents said. One of the men said a codefendant was the “largest distributor of cocaine” at Penn State and would “boast about how much money he was making from selling cocaine.” At least four of the defendants are current students, Sunday’s ofﬁce said. “This is very serious criminal conduct. There was nothing junior or childlike about this type of conduct,” Sunday said at a news conference on Monday. “This was an upper-level trafﬁcking organization for this region in Pennsylvania.” Four people are charged with conspiracy, dealing in proceeds of unlawful activity, felony corrupt organizations and other offenses. Another defendant is charged with felony conspiracy and criminal use of a communication facility.

ther down. The spacecraft photographed the crater a week after the collision from 60 miles up, while zooming along at one mile per second. Flight controllers had to tilt the spacecraft so its cameras pointed toward the impact scene. The orbiter completes a lunar polar orbit every two hours, as the moon rotates beneath. South Korea’s Danuri spacecraft was ﬁrst on the scene to beam back photos. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been orbiting the moon since 2009, serving as NASA’s upclose eyes as the space agency works to return astronauts to the lunar surface.

son had been in a tumultuous relationship for years, with allegations the 37-year-old aspiring actor physically abused her. He was charged in 2020 with multiple counts of felony abuse, and he pleaded no contest to two counts of injuring a spouse or partner and served a short time in jail due to the case. He was sentenced to four years of probation and anger management and Alcoholics Anonymous sessions. He completed the terms and recently asked a judge to reduce his conviction to misdemeanors; that request was denied Thursday by a Los Angeles judge. Messages were sent Tuesday seeking comment from Pat Carey, an attorney for Hickerson. Panettiere wrote of Hickerson’s time behind bars, and how she hoped it would change him, in her memoir, “This Is Me,” which came out in May. “I wanted Brian to be in jail just long enough to scare him, but not long enough where’d he become a worse person,” she wrote. “I needed him to admit his wrongs and change because of them, but I didn’t want to traumatize him in an irreversible way.” She wrote about her decision to “let go of my resentment” and try to forgive Hickerson, who she’d met at a West Hollywood restaurant in 2018 after noticing his “charming smile.”

FEST

Continued from page 1A Allen, Kristin Diable, T-Ray The Violinist, DJ Captain Charles, Tonya Boyd-Cannon, the Brass-AHolics, Justin Garner and the Big 6 Brass Band, round out the entertainment roster. What is officially the 2026 National Fried Chicken Festival presented by Raising Cane’s will feature three stages in addition to 40 restaurant vendors. With the more ambitious music roster, the Fried Chicken Festival is moving closer to the model of Hogs for the Cause. Both are multiday events staged on the lakefront that were built on a foundation of food but also emphasize music. Whereas Hogs for the Cause favors Americana and alt-country acts, the National Fried Chicken Festival’s headliners are drawn from the worlds of hip-hop and EDM. The marquee acts will perform Oct. 3-4. On those days, attendees can expect to pay more for a ticket

TESTIFIES

Continued from page 1A role in the scheme. But it’s what happened after the feds caught onto the plot that will shape the fates of Harris, Alfortish and Leon “Chunky” Parker, Alfortish’s co-defendant in a murder-conspiracy trial at New Orleans’ federal courthouse now in its second week. Four days after Garrison’s indictment in September 2020, and three days after that meeting on Canal Street, he was shot to death in his mother’s Gentilly entryway. His indictment carried details only he could have provided to federal ofﬁcials, leading prosecutors to suggest a retaliatory hit. Harris was arrested and charged four years later with the execution-style killing. He agreed the next year to take a plea, saying Alfortish paid for the hit and that Harris recruited Parker, his mother’s former boyfriend who he called “family,” to carry it out. “(Alfortish) said, ‘Do you know anybody who could kill him?’ ” Harris, wearing shackles and a tight-ﬁtting white shirt under prison orange, said on the stand. “I said, ‘Yes, I do.’ ” Since entering his plea last year, Harris’ word has guided prosecutors’ explanation as to how the yearslong fraud probe, which Garrison’s cooperation propelled, then ground to a halt with his death, transformed overnight into a murder-conspiracy investigation. Yet his credibility has also emerged as the crux of Alfortish and Parker’s defenses, and could become a liability when the 12 jurors decide on their guilt when the trial ends. Attorneys for both men have seized on shifting statements Harris made to federal authorities to call him a serial liar. They argue he had the most to lose from Garrison’s cooperation — his family members

The Fried Chicken Festival is becoming a destination where nationally recognized music, incredible food and authentic New Orleans culture come together in a way you can’t experience anywhere else.

are scattered across Motta’s roster of clients — and say he has fabricated his story to save himself from a lifetime in prison. “It’s hard to keep the lies straight, isn’t it?” Parker’s lawyer, Stephen Haedicke, asked when Harris appeared to falter in answering him under cross-examination. Harris replied that he had come to tell the “whole truth.”

Early days A decade Harris’ senior, Garrison was known around New Orleans as a hustler, and by the late 2010s his hustle of choice was staging accidents with big-rig trucks. The driver known as “Slim” would fill cars with recruits, crash them into moving 18-wheelers on Interstate 10 and tote the riders to injury lawyers who promised them big settlements. Selita Harris rode as a passenger in one wreck. To her son, the six-figure settlement she’d been promised sounded sweet. “I told her, ‘I want to get involved with Cornelius,’ ” Harris said. “I thought I’d come up big on an 18-wheeler.” Harris would soon working for the older man as a “spotter,” watching wrecks from a separate car before scooping Garrison from the scene so a passenger could slide into the driver’s seat. Harris later graduated to staging collisions himself, getting paid by Motta and Alfortish, who knew it was all a scam, he testified. Harris wasn’t entirely inexperienced in vehicle insurance fraud, though. He testified Tuesday that he used to make money buying cars at auction and crashing them to make insurance claims. Under questioning from McLaren, Harris recounted how Garrison coached him to not use repeat passengers. “Once the insurance company starts seeing people over and over again, that puts a red flag on ’em,” Har-

ris testiﬁed. They would often meet passengers at a Burger King in New Orleans East. After the wrecks, Harris said they ferried riders to Motta’s law office in Kenner, where he said Alfortish would pay them $1,000 per rider. They made more money after convincing Alfortish to cut out a middleman known as “Big Irv.” The mentorship was not to last. Harris preferred to be patient, thinking it best to drive around and await the perfect moment to strike a big rig. Garrison would sometimes rush to cause collisions within moments of getting on the freeway, Harris said. “He got kind of sloppy with it, kind of crazy,” Harris said. “Sometimes the driver of the vehicle would get the ticket, and he would still bring the collision to Sean.” As Alfortish and Motta grew impatient with his mentors’ work, Harris testiﬁed that he stepped in. It wasn’t long before Alfortish began to worry the FBI had caught on to the scheme, he said, and Harris went back to staging wrecks between passenger vehicles. “The 18-wheelers got kind of hot,” Harris said. “Sean had kind of shut us down. I had to go back to my old ways of making money.”

meeting with Parker and Alfortish at Harris’ auto shop to plan the hit. Alfortish offered Parker $20,000 for the job, he said. Harris testiﬁed that he Parker bought burner phones — one of them for Jovanna Gardner, his thengirlfriend. The plan was to ask Gardner to text Garrison and lure him outside, Harris testiﬁed. He lied to Gardner about the purpose of the ruse, saying he and Parker only wished to offer Garrison money. “I figured she wouldn’t want anything to do with it,” he said. Harris said he initially considered using his mother, who introduced him to Garrison all those years before, to play Gardner’s role.

‘Keep yourself out of jail’ The day of the hit, Harris said he “cased” Garrison’s neighborhood for Ring cameras and other surveillance tech. Gardner texted Garrison about 8:30 p.m. pretending to be a woman named

“Kim.” Garrison’s mother and other neighbors called 911 a few minutes later. “Mama, fall on the ﬂoor,” Garrison yelled as he died, warning his mother about the spray of gunﬁre. Afterward, Harris told the jury he and Parker went together to the Industrial Canal to dump the 9 mm handgun Parker used to kill Garrison. FBI dive teams never found the weapon, Alfortish’s attorney, Shaun Clarke, said while cross-examining Harris. Haedicke showed the jury multiple firearms found in FBI searches of Harris’ home and work, as well as an extended 9 mm magazine. Police said Garrison was shot in the face 10 times. Harris and Gardner were arrested in 2024 in connection with Garrison’s killing. Gardner quickly pleaded, saying Harris confessed to the killing on the night it happened and threatened to kill her, too, if she spoke out.

Harris denied that account on Tuesday, saying he meant to convey to Gardner that night that Parker had killed Garrison and that she could “get killed,” too. Gardner is expected to testify later in the trial. Calling Garrison’s murder the work of a much younger man, Haedicke has argued that Parker was obese and ailing due to unneeded surgeries from his staged wreck at the time of Garrison’s death. He recited a long list of names of Harris’ relatives who participated in staging accidents, emphasizing his potential motive for silencing Garrison’s cooperation. “You participated in killing someone to keep yourself out of jail,” Clarke said while cross-examining Harris. “And so lying to keep yourself out of jail is nothing to you, right?” “I’m telling the truth and nothing but the truth,” Harris replied. Staff writer John Simerman contributed to this report.

‘Me, Leon and Sean did it’ Harris testiﬁed that Motta FaceTimed him with the news that Garrison had joined “Team USA” sometime in 2020. He met with his mother and Parker on Orleans Avenue soon after. Harris recalled Parker saying in that meeting that Garrison should die. So when Alfortish asked if he knew anyone to carry out a hit, Harris testiﬁed, Parker was his answer. “I said I knew Leon Parker,” he said, “because he was pretty much saying the same thing Sean was saying — that he wanted him dead.” Through Motta, Harris said he planned another

Tupac Shakur’s autopsy photos shown at trial Testimony continues in murder case

Susan Clancy, the former mother-in-law of Lindsay Clancy, enters the courtroom to give testimony during Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial in Plymouth, Mass., on Tuesday.

Suspect was ‘begging for help,’ former mother-in-law testiﬁes Woman on trial for deaths of her three children

BY LEAH WILLINGHAM Associated Press

BOSTON — Lindsay Clancy was “begging for help” in the months leading up to killing her three children and attempting to end her own life, Clancy’s former mother-in-law testified for the defense Tuesday in the fourth week of her murder trial. “Lindsay was struggling — we were all concerned,” said Susan Clancy. Her son, Patrick Clancy, found the Massachusetts couple’s children after they had been strangled in the family basement in January 2023. Lindsay Clancy also attempted to take her own life that night and was left paralyzed. Lindsay and Patrick Clancy are now divorced. The trial centers not on whether Lindsay Clancy killed her children on Jan.

24, 2023, which her lawyers do not dispute, but on her state of mind at the time. Her attorney argues she should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, a rare mental illness linked to the stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth. Susan Clancy’s testimony echoed emotional accounts the day before from Lindsay Clancy’s mother and sister, who recounted for jurors how they saw her become increasingly anxious, paranoid and suicidal starting in the fall of 2022. Susan Clancy, who, like Lindsay, worked as a labor and delivery nurse, said in Plymouth Superior Court that she and her former daughter-in-law were close and described Lindsay as a “wonderful mother” who was “very nurturing, very loving.” Susan Clancy said that Lindsay was open with her about struggling and asked for her mother-in-law’s sup-

port. The jury was shown texts between Lindsay and Susan Clancy in which Lindsay spoke about fears that she had developed a dependence on benzodiazepines, but couldn’t sleep without taking them. “I’m not okay and I’m terriﬁed of taking meds tonight,” Lindsay texted her mother-in-law on Nov. 30, 2022, two months before the killings. On Monday, Lindsay Clancy’s mother, Paula Musgrove, said her daughter was scared of sleeping alone, became increasingly paranoid and believed the medications she was taking “were destroying her mind.” That December, Lindsay Clancy told her mother and her then-husband, Patrick Clancy, that “she had thoughts of harming the children,” Musgrove said. Lindsay Clancy’s sister Allison Ozga testiﬁed that at the end of December, Lindsay told her she had experienced suicidal thoughts every day for a month.

LAS VEGAS — Some members of Tupac Shakur’s family stepped out of the courtroom Tuesday before prosecutors showed photos from his autopsy at the Las Vegas trial of the man charged in the killing of the rap giant. Others remained in the courtroom to face the grim facts of what happened to his body. The grisly photos came on the second day of testimony in the trial of 63-yearold Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who is charged with orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. He has pleaded not guilty and his lawyer in opening statements called the prosecution’s narrative “ﬁction.” Dr. Lisa Gavin, a forensic pathologist and medical examiner for Clark County, Nevada, described Shakur’s injuries and explained his cause of death. Jurors were shown photos of his body. Some relatives who remained in the courtroom looked away. Shakur’s cousin Zayd Akinyela said he wanted to stay in court to learn more. “I feel like the details, especially for people that are close to him, honestly for me helps, helps the grief process. I think we’ve been waiting 30 years to grieve properly,” Akinyela said outside the courtroom. “A lot of people don’t get to grieve until they understand what happened to their loved one and how it happened.” He added, “That’s why I wanted to stay and just see for my own personal closure.” He said he hadn’t known how many times his cousin

Seeing the photos of Shakur’s body made him feel “Very angry, very angry, to say the least, very sad,” Akinyela said. Gavin described three bullets. One of them caused his lung to collapse and bleed, and doctors ultimately removed the damaged lung in an effort to save his life, she said. Additional bullets damaged his intestines and other parts of his body, she said. Jurors looked intently at the photos of Shakur’s body, which was bloated and had multiple chest wounds. The nearly full courtroom was silent. Gavin was not at Shakur’s 1996 autopsy but was called as a witness because the examiner who performed it has since died. Prosecutors allege Shakur was killed to avenge Shakur’s entourage attacking Davis’ nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson a few hours earlier at the MGM Grand after a Mike Tyson ﬁght. Jurors were shown the casino surveillance video of a group of people beating and kicking someone

on the ground. The video then showed Shakur and his entourage moving quickly through the crowded building in the minutes after. A few hours later, Shakur, riding in a black BMW with hip-hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight, was gunned down by shots fired from a white Cadillac that had Davis, Anderson and two other men inside. Davis is not accused of pulling the trigger. After many technical and procedural witnesses, James McDonald brought both hostility and humor to the stand when he testified unwillingly under a court order. McDonald, like Knight, had been affiliated with the Mob Piru Bloods gang, and worked security for Knight at his Club 662, where Shakur and Knight had been headed when they were fired on. Davis was a member of the rival South Side Compton Crips. Asked by Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal if he was aware of why Anderson was beaten, he wouldn’t say. “I’m aware of a lot of things,” McDonald said, “things that was going on, people ain’t talked about them in 30 years. Today ain’t one of them.”

Continued from page 1A and fell while descending interior stairs with no railing, according to New Orleans police, who said the group was “urban exploring,” a trend of entering off-limits abandoned structures. The incident is one of several to occur at the prominent eyesore in recent years. In 2023, a man also fell to his death at the Plaza Tower. Two years before, panels fell off the tower and struck a person riding by on a bicycle. Moreno’s administration did not share details on any particular security measures it would ask the owner to take, nor did ofﬁcials point to any speciﬁc oversights that allowed a group of teenagers to enter the property on Saturday. At a news conference Saturday, Moreno’s Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Michael Harrison said that “the administration is in touch and has been in touch with the ownership. … We are providing temporary visibility as we make more communication with ownership about their responsibility.” NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick said her “understanding is that there is security provided, but I can’t tell you that it was there at the time.” When asked if the owner could face charges for failing to secure the property, Kirkpatrick said it was a possibility. “But we want to look at everything, and today is not the day for that,” Kirkpatrick continued. NOPD had not issued charges as of Monday.

PROGRESS

Continued from page 1A when concerns about the department came to a boiling point. Some lawmakers, including McMath and state Sen. Regina Barrow, D-Baton Rouge, entertained whether the state should dismantle the department altogether and assign its work to other state agencies. Monday’s committee meeting, where DCFS ofﬁcials faced a litany of questions from Barrow, McMath and other lawmakers, represented the latest chapter in the debate over how to address Louisiana’s struggling child welfare system.

Caseload concerns During the meeting, DCFS Secretary Rebecca Harris and other agency officials said that, in every region except Baton Rouge, the department had nearly eliminated backlogs in Child Protective Services cases. Connie Guillory, the assistant secretary for child welfare, said the average caseload in regions outside Baton Rouge was 25. McMath, who grilled Harris about the caseloads, expressed confusion over how the agency had lowered its numbers. Last spring, some employees were handling 75, 90 and

St. Ann was pronounced dead on the scene. The Coroner’s Ofﬁce said St. Ann died from blunt force injuries sustained due to the fall. This weekend’s accident is not the ﬁrst tragedy of its kind. In 2022, a teen fell and died at the Market Street Power Plant in the Lower Garden District after climbing up on the dilapidated structure’s roof. The property had been recently purchased by Louis Lauricella, but had previously been owned for years by Jaeger. Another teenager in the group said at the time that it was easy for the group to access the

even 165 cases, McMath said. Many of those employees had since left the department, according to McMath, who said he came to that conclusion by comparing lists of current and past employees. And, he added, 24 of the department’s 89 child welfare trainees left between March and July of this year. “How has the department been able to reduce caseloads and clear backlog cases when employees leave and ship those cases to someone else who either has an equally high caseload or is too new to carry more than one or two cases?” McMath asked. “Help me make the math make sense.” “I’d probably have to make it make sense per region,” said Guillory, adding that in November, she instructed regional directors to come up with tailored “backlog burndown” plans. Meanwhile, Barrow questioned Harris as to why Baton Rouge struggled so badly as compared with other parts of the state. Harris said she believed it had to do with “leadership” issues there. “We have made changes in staffing within that office. We have brought in individuals and leadership from other offices that are very successful,” Harris said, adding that she hoped that

The YouTuber, Stephen Pamaran, and another YouTuber known as RangerRickTV, who allegedly accompanied him and posted the video to his channel in September 2025, recorded videos from inside abandoned military bases, churches and amusement parks.

After DCFS restructured itself last year by moving some benefit-related functions to LDH, the child welfare agency asked individuals with expertise in direct casework to help in the state’s regional offices, Harris confirmed. “No one took a cut in pay,” she said. Very few people without child welfare experience were being hired into the state office, Harris said. And those that were being hired had another skill set the department needed, such as a background in call center management or clinical expertise, she said. “There are positions — they may have the same job title, but the duties within that job are very different,” Harris said. Lawmakers also heard from Kimberly Chachere, a longtime employee who

When the developers removed stairs to keep people from climbing up, “people would wind up bringing ladders,” Flower said. In one incident, a group of teenagers climbed up to the roof of the property before being stopped by a guard. “We were lucky: One of them could have fallen, and you’d feel terrible about it,” Flower said. “I do not know what the solution to that is.” Staff writers Stephanie Riegel and Willie Swett contributed to this report.

“I have told all of my staff that I work with every day, ‘I know what you’re feeling, I have lived it with you,’ ” Chachere said. “‘It’s hard … but we don’t know the bigger picture that is being looked at. We only know our piece of the picture.’” Also on Monday, Harris

agreed to roll back a policy change governing how foster parents are paid. That commitment came at the urging of state lawmakers — and after the committee heard concerns that the change was making it more difﬁcult for foster parents to afford offering care.

The New Orleans City Council in 2024 voted to amend an existing contract to add security guards at Lincoln Beach in New Orleans East and the Gordon Plaza landﬁll to ward off frequent trespassers, tire dumping and vandalism. But developer Paul Flower, whose company is redeveloping the former Lindy Boggs hospital, said keeping vacant sites secure is an uphill battle. “It is impossible to fully secure a site if someone decides they want to get in there,” Flower said in an interview Monday.

White House moves to end roadless rule on national forests Clinton policy blocked logging on U.S. land

BY SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN

Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Trump administration announced Tuesday it is moving ahead with plans to rescind a quarter-century-old rule that blocked logging, road building and other development on national forest lands, drawing the ire of environmentalists nationwide. The U.S. Forest Service is filing a proposal that would scrap the so-called roadless rule adopted in the last days of Bill Clinton’s presidency in 2001. The agency described the rule as a one-size-fits-all restriction that has frustrated land managers and served as a barrier to reducing wildfire risks in the nation’s forests. “Our forests can’t afford another decade of inaction. Across the country, we’ve watched preventable conditions — overgrown stands, insect outbreaks and disease — turn healthy landscapes into tinderboxes,” U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a statement. Scientists say that worsening wildfires are driven by a combination of climate change that warms and dries out forests, less logging and decades of fire suppression that has allowed fuels to build up. Clinton had signed the rule to safeguard undeveloped national forest land from commercial logging and mineral leasing, with a goal of keeping ecosystems pristine and protecting water supplies. Calling the roadless rule

a failure, Rollins said the proposal calls for restoring authority to local forest managers and removing barriers that have kept them from improving forest health across millions of acres. The roadless rule has affected 30% of national forest lands nationwide, or about 59 million acres, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the agency over the Forest Service. The Forest Service will gather public comment on the proposal and on a draft of the environmental impact statement that was filed Tuesday in the Federal Register. While the rescission removes national designation of roadless areas, officials say it doesn’t mandate timber cutting or road construction. The filing of the proposal comes as no surprise as the Trump administration first announced its intention to get rid of the rule during a meeting last summer of Western governors in New Mexico. Environmentalists have been sounding the alarm since then and reiterated Tuesday that lifting protections would have detrimental effects for old growth forests, wildlife and water supplies. “Americans across the political spectrum have made it crystal clear that they don’t want political appointees removing protections from public lands,” said Chris Krupp, an attorney with the group WildEarth Guardians. “It would be a gross misreading of public sentiment to take the roadless rule away from Americans and our wildlife, and politicians do so at their jeopardy.”

Water around American Samoa subject of suit Nonprofit sues over auction for potential deep-sea mining

BY DÁNICA COTO Associated Press

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A legal environmental group sued the U.S. government on Tuesday to halt the Trump administration’s plans announced last month to auction off massive sections of water surrounding American Samoa for potential deep-sea mining. Earthjustice ﬁled the federal lawsuit against the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on behalf of two groups: Fa‘asao Amerika Samoa and Conservation Council for Hawai‘i. The legal nonprofit is requesting that a judge order the National Marine Fisheries Service to stop moving forward with its plans and to comply with the Endangered Species Act and other federal laws. “The United States has never opened its waters to deep-sea mining. Until now,” the lawsuit stated.

It noted that the U.S. plans to sell leases with the intention of allowing mining across some 33 million acres of seabed off American Samoa that is rich in minerals including nickel, cobalt and manganese that are used to build batteries, electronics and other products. The lawsuit stated that the U.S. ﬁrst must ensure that such activity will not destroy critical habitats or push species closer to extinction. The environmental group called a recent decision by the National Marine Fisheries Service that leases would not affect critical habitat or endangered or threatened species “a wholly arbitrary and capricious determination.” “The Samoan people rely upon a healthy ocean ecosystem,” the lawsuit reads. “This ecosystem feeds Samoan households, protects shorelines, and has formed the basis of many cultural practices that have existed for over a millennium.” It noted that many animals around American Samoa also migrate to Hawaiian waters, including sea turtles known as “i‘a sa,” which means “sacred ﬁsh.” American Samoa views whales, sharks, giant manta rays and other

animals as sacred, and there’s a ban on catching or harming such species. The environmental group asserted that failure to comply with U.S. acts is harming “professional, scientific, educational, aesthetic, spiritual, and cultural interests” in American Samoan and Hawaiian waters. It said that waters surrounding American Samoa support “rare and diverse marine species” including shallow and mesophotic coral reefs, sponges, crabs, deep-sea cucumbers, sea turtles and hundreds of coral and fish species. The organization noted that the waters serve as habitat to five sea turtle populations and four types of whales that are all endangered, as well as five coral species and four animals including the giant manta ray that are threatened. The area that the U.S. envisions leasing is located 57 miles from the Rose Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to expedite mining permits even as dozens of countries have called for a moratorium or ban on deep sea mining because of environmental concerns including noise, light and suffocating dust storms.

Vendors react to Claiborne Avenue shooting Food truck owners say more security, sanitation needed

BY JONI HESS Staff writer

As most New Orleans restaurants begin to close up shop in the evening, vendors under the Claiborne Avenue overpass begin prepping their wares for visitors grappling with limited late-night

food options. From Thursday to Sunday, dozens of vendors line the stretch of Claiborne between Esplanade and St. Bernard Avenue, serving up loaded seafood potatoes, catfish platters and countless New Orleans-style menu items on Styrofoam plates.

The block party-style food experience of mostly unpermitted vendors has grown substantially over the past year. It’s largely managed to avoid violent incidents and threats to public safety. But that changed over the weekend when a fight broke out that led to a triple shooting. The ordeal

sent three people to the hospital with injuries that were not lifethreatening. Vendors say the shooting is indicative of wider city issues and that they aren’t to blame for the incident. Rather, it’s another signal that the booming scene needs to be more organized with better safety measures instead of curfews sporadically imposed by New Orleans police.

“People get shot in New Orleans everywhere, no matter where it’s at,” said The Boss Kitchen owner Samuel Harris, pointing to the fatal Dooky Chase restaurant shooting earlier this year and others on Bourbon Street and the French Quarter. Some vendors said they plan to voice their concerns to the City

Local high schools named top 100 Three N.O.-area institutions receive national recognition BY MARIE FAZIO Staff writer

FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY ABOVE: Mike Cook, left, and Chip Hines box in front of the Peristyle at City Park in New Orleans on Wednesday. RIGHT: Hines, right, and Blas Johnston box at City Park on Wednesday.

Three New Orleans area high schools were ranked among the top 100 public high schools in the country, according to U.S. News and World Report’s annual list. Benjamin Franklin High School, a selective enrollment charter school, was the top high school in the state and ranked 53rd in the nation. And two Jefferson Parish schools — both advanced studies academies with academic requirements for admissions — cracked the top 100 for the first time. Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies ranked 66th, and Patrick F. Taylor Science and Technology Academy ranked 95th. “There’s something especially meaningful about having a public school in New Orleans and Louisiana recognized among the very best in the country,” Benjamin Franklin’s CEO Alex Jarrell said. “It says something important about what is possible for public education in our city and our state.” Kaela Lewis, a spokesperson for Jefferson Parish Public Schools, said in a statement that having two schools in the top 100 marks a “significant accomplishment for our district.” “This national recognition reflects years of consistent academic excellence and the work of students, educators, school leaders and families who continue to set a high standard for achievement,” she said. The annual rankings consider students’ scores on state tests, the academic performance of students in underserved demographic groups, students’ participation and performance in Advanced Placement and International

Defendant in quadruple murder retrial pleads guilty Armande Tart was previously convicted by an nonunanimous jury BY MICHELLE HUNTER Staff writer

Armande Tart, set to stand trial this week for a second time in a violent quadruple murder that took place at a Metairie apartment complex in 2017, brought proceedings to a halt after he entered a guilty plea Tuesday, according to the Jefferson Parish District Attorney’s Ofﬁce. Witnesses — including a ﬁfth victim who survived being shot in the face — were prepared to take the stand again for his retrial Tuesday morning. Tart, 30, of New Orleans,

opted instead to plead guilty to three counts of ﬁrst-degree murder, one count of second-degree murder, one count of attempted ﬁrst-degree murder and one count of obstruction of justice. Tart was first convicted in a 2019 trial by an 11-1 jury. But his convictions were overturned in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that made nonunanimous jury verdicts unconstitutional. After the plea change, Judge Donald “Chick” Foret, of the 24th Judicial District Court, sentenced Tart to life in prison, the mandatory punishment for a murder

conviction, noting the “pain and suffering” of the victims’ families, the District Attorney’s Ofﬁce said. Tart admitted killing Kyle Turner, 40; Rosemary Charles, 61; John Henry, 56; and Harold Frisard, 56, during the early morning hours of March 15, 2017. Tart, a drug dealer, committed the killings as part of a scheme to rob Turner, who sometimes supplied him with crack cocaine, according to Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Ofﬁce detectives. The shootings occurred inside Charles’ first-floor apartment in the 2500 block of Pasadena Av-

enue. That morning, Tart lured Turner to Charles’ apartment under the guise of a crack deal, authorities said. Instead, Tart executed Turner, Charles and Henry with gunshots to the head. The surviving victim played dead on a couch after Tart shot her in the face and arm and then dialed 911 after he left the scene in Turner’s vehicle, ofﬁcials said. During Tart’s 2019 trial, the woman gave unwavering testimony, identifying him as the gunman. “That’s the guy who tried to kill me and killed everyone in the house,” she said. The fourth homicide victim, Frisard, lived across the courtyard

from Charles in the same complex. Tart would often stay with Frisard and deal drugs from his apartment, according to investigators. Before the shootings, Tart strangled Frisard and stabbed him 48 times in the neck and back, leaving his body in a bathtub. Detectives discovered Frisard after they reviewed surveillance video from the complex and saw Turner entering another unit. On Tuesday, Tart apologized for taking the victims’ lives. He blamed drug use for his actions, according to the District Attorney’s Ofﬁce. Email Michelle Hunter at mhunter@theadvocate.com.

BRPD may have found teen’s body in landﬁll Search started on July 13

Police Chief TJ Morse speaks during a news conference about Ja’Derrius Minnieweather at BRPD headquarters on Tuesday.

BY OLIVIA TEES Staff writer

Baton Rouge police say they strongly suspect the body of 15-year-old Ja’Derrius Minnieweather was found Tuesday in the East Baton Rouge Landfill, two months after the teen was reported missing. “This morning, after all the hard work our collaborative search teams have done so far, I can report that we’ve located suspected human remains, and the evidence gives me hope that these remains belong to Ja’Derrius,” Police Chief TJ Morse said. Morse said the area where Minnieweather’s remains were found was not in the original 0.64-acre sector that was identified with help from the FBI Laboratory’s Technical Hazards Response Unit and Evidence Response Team. Because the case is still an ongoing and active homicide investigation, Morse could not confirm whether the remains found were full or partial. The remains were turned over to the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner’s Office to be processed. The DNA extraction from the bones will take a day or more to confirm if they are Minnieweather’s, Morse said. “Professionally, I am unable to make any speculations, but I remain very, very hopeful,” he said. Morse said he and his team intend to return to the landfill Wednesday to continue the search until the results of the DNA come back as positive, or until Friday. The search at the 400-acre East Baton Rouge Landfill near Zachary started at 6 a.m. July 13. While the Baton Rouge Police Department is the lead agency

on the case, the complexity of the search meant it required help from 12 other law enforcement agencies, including specialty teams from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations and the Louisiana National Guard. More than 4,000 tons of waste have been processed by 821 search shifts. The teams spent nearly 17,500 hours searching in hazardous conditions. Over 4,000 bones were recovered during the search, all of which were found not to be human. There were eight cases where members of the search teams needed medical treatment for heat-related injuries, Mayor-President Sid Edwards said. “It was because of the determination, of the grit of these professionals, that this baby, a son of Baton Rouge, is going to be brought home,” Edwards said. Edwards said the search was un-

precedented, with the national average of recovering a body from a landﬁll being only a 12% success rate. “They didn’t count Baton Rouge. They didn’t count these people up here and all their agencies from Baton Rouge. They didn’t count that,” Edwards said.

The case so far Minnieweather was last seen about 2 a.m. June 5 on Bradley Street in the Foster and Winbourne area, police said. Police said they believe Minnieweather was killed that night by Maurice Parms. While investigating the teen’s disappearance, police discovered a 16-year-old girl who was allegedly involved in an illicit relationship with Parms. He was arrested June 10 on counts of indecent behavior with juveniles and computer-aided solicitation of a minor,

but was released on bail a short time later. As the investigation continued, the 51-year-old Parms was arrested again June 20 on a count of ﬁrst-degree murder. Police say he allegedly beat Minnieweather to death and went to great lengths to hide the evidence. Morse said the department had evidence that strongly indicated Parms had killed Minnieweather and dumped the body in a garbage can. Parms admitted in an interview with police after his second arrest that he had met Minnieweather on June 4 at a residence on Bradley Street, which is the home of the 16-year-old girl, who police say was a friend of Minnieweather. Detectives obtained footage of a tall Black man dragging a trash can to a spot in the 3200 block of Conrad Street. They also found video from a minute later of a man matching Parms’ body type riding

a child’s bike away from Conrad toward Charles Street. A male was also seen getting off the bike and throwing it into bushes, where he is then seen taking off a black mask, gloves and a T-shirt, which he threw into multiple garbage cans. Witnesses described seeing a tall man beating a smaller person while a child’s bike was in the middle of the roadway. Detectives were able to locate blood soaked into the ground, and Parms’ truck tested positive for blood after detectives obtained a search warrant. Parms has not made any statements or cooperated with authorities to help them ﬁnd Minnieweather’s body, according to Morse. Parms remains in the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison and is held without bail. His next court date is Oct. 15 for a bail review hearing. If he is convicted of ﬁrst-degree murder, Parms would face the possibility of the death penalty. Assistant District Attorney Tiara Jones will represent Minnieweather and his family in court and be a strong voice for his case, according to East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore. “At this stage we, the District Attorney’s Office have not only the duty but the pleasure and the honor now to speak for Ja’Derrius and his family,” Moore said. Even with the possibility of Minnieweather’s body being found, the work isn’t over yet, Morse said. “I don’t think it’s completely sunk in yet because there’s still work to do, right? We’re going to be out there again tomorrow. The job’s not done, and the job will not be done until we are able to hand over a completed case, and we see Maurice Parms responsible,” Morse said.

The teen got into the back passenger seat of an SUV parked at the corner of Canal Street with its hazard lights ﬂashing. The SUV left but returned moments later, just before Marshall emerged from a side exit of the Popeyes and reached into the vehicle’s driver’s side door. The footage showed Marshall struggling to pry herself from someone’s grip inside the SUV and she fell to the ground as the vehicle pulled off. Police said she managed to stand up before collapsing nearby. Daniels said Brown was sitting in the back passenger’s seat of the SUV when the shooting happened. The surveillance footage showed the gunman was seated on the driver’s side of the vehicle, he indicated. The New Orleans Police Department did not immediately respond to questions Tuesday about the gunman. In court filings, prosecutors indicated Brown’s father took him to NOPD’s 5th District precinct the day detectives released a public bulletin with stills from the surveillance footage. Ofﬁcers questioned the teen for about 10 minutes before the father ended the interrogation and they left the police station. Brown was arrested eight weeks later.

Sinking AI stocks pull Wall Street further from record

NEW YORK — Wall Street pulled further from its all-time high on Tuesday as artificial intelligence stocks got back to sinking. The S&P 500 fell 0.7% for a third straight modest loss since setting its all-time high on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 116 points, or 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 1.3%. Leading the way lower were stocks that have been big winners in the boom around AI technology. They’ve been veering up and down this summer on worries that their prices shot too high in the AI frenzy and that the strong demand for memory, processors and other building blocks of data centers may fizzle out if AI proves less profitable than promised. Micron Technology dropped 7%, and the seller of computer memory was one of the heaviest weights on the S&P 500. So were chip companies Nvidia, which fell 2.3%, and Broadcom, which sank 3.2%. Even with their recent swings, such stocks remain big winners, and Micron has more than tripled this year. But stocks that critics call too expensive get more scrutiny when interest rates are high, and yields remained that way in bond markets worldwide Tuesday. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury edged down to 4.70% from 4.72% late Monday but remains well above its 3.97% level from just before the war with Iran began. The 30-year Treasury yield also ticked lower but is still near its highest level since 2007.

Costco to launch its own healthcare plan Costco is partnering with a nonprofit to launch its own brand of Medicare. The warehouse chain has agreed to work with a California-based nonproﬁt insurer called SCAN to offer a Medicare Advantage plan that includes a suite of senior-focused insurance products. For Costco, the move means breaking into a Medicare Advantage industry worth more than $500 billion, in which private insurers offer health plans approved by Medicare. And for SCAN, a midsized organization with around half a million members, partnering with Costco means access to millions of Medicare enrollees who use Costco. In a SCAN news release on Tuesday, the nonproﬁt said the products will integrate with Costco’s current prescription, vision, hearing and over-the-counter offerings, which attract seniors. “Older adults want healthcare that is easier to navigate, more responsive to their needs and rooted in organizations they trust,” SCAN CEO Sachin H. Jain said in the news release.

BY JOCELYN NOVECK AP national writer

Further escalating its battle with the Trump administration, ABC on Tuesday took the rare step of suing the Federal Communications Commission on First Amendment grounds, saying the agency’s demand for early review of its broadcast licenses posed an “existential threat” to the network. In the lawsuit, ABC, its parent company Disney and the eight ABC-owned stations whose licenses are affected asked a federal court to stop the early renewal proceedings. The FCC under Chairman Brendan Carr, an ally of President Donald Trump, had ordered the early review in April — itself a rare move — of all eight licenses owned by ABC, years before they are set to expire. Licenses are issued for eight-year periods. The FCC cited the network’s diversity and inclusion practices as a reason, but the development came shortly after a joke by ABC’s late-night host

and the viewpoints its network programs air,” the network alleged in its lawsuit Tuesday. “Over time, those attacks have escalated into express demands that ABC be stripped of its broadcast licenses because of its speech.” “Facing this existential threat,” it added, “Plaintiffs have no choice but to seek redress from the judicial branch for the Administration’s blatant retaliation for their First Amendment speech.” It said ABC had “no alternative means to eliminate these ongoing and immediate threats other than total capitulation to the Administration’s demands.” It asked the court to “immediately enjoin Defendants from taking or threatening to take any action against Plaintiffs in relation to the early license renewal applications.” The early license review is only one part of a long-simmering confrontation between ABC and the FCC. The network has also been ﬁghting Carr’s efforts to make the morning talk show “The View,”

meaning it’s exempt from equal time rules, which require granting equal airtime to competing candidates for office. The ABC lawsuit Tuesday also spoke of broad ramifications that go well beyond one network. “The consequences of the Administration’s campaign against free speech reach well beyond ABC,” it said. “If the Administration gets its way, the message to every media company in the country will be unmistakable: tell only the stories the Administration deems favorable, or face the coercive machinery of the federal government. In such a world, the press could in no way be described as free.” It added: “The FCC Chairman has left little doubt that this is his goal.” The lawsuit also quoted Carr as saying, when Kimmel made comments that angered the administration, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways ... to take action ... on Kimmel, or there is going to be ad-

be a drawn-out legal process. Longtime free-speech attorney Floyd Abrams noted that tensions between the press and the commission are not new — but have never been this pronounced. “There has long been a level of tension between the broadcast media, which seeks full First Amendment protection, and the FCC,” Abrams wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “But not until the Trump Administration has the government so directly, so deliberately and so dangerously sought to limit the freedom of the broadcast press to cover and discuss the news.” The sole Democrat on the commission, Anna Gomez, commended ABC and Disney for pushing back against the FCC’s actions. “For months, the FCC has waged a campaign of censorship and control against Disney’s ABC stations,” she said in a statement, “using the threat of broadcast license revocations to punish a company for speech this administration doesn’t like.”

St. Jude names Dr. Charles Roberts as new CEO

Meta Platforms faces pivotal trial OAKLAND, Calif. — Opening statements started Tuesday in a pivotal trial for Meta Platforms in a California federal court, where states are seeking billions of dollars in damages for social media harms to children. Attorneys general from California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey are seeking a ﬁnancial penalty that could, in theory, total as much as $1.4 trillion plus changes to how the company operates Facebook and Instagram. Twenty-nine states sued the tech giant in 2023 over child safety and privacy — the other 25 will go to trial later. The company also faces lawsuits in state courts. The lawsuit accuses the social media giant of contributing to the youth mental health crisis by knowingly and deliberately designing features that addict children to its platforms. It also argues that Meta routinely collects data on children under 13 without their parents’ consent, in violation of federal law. Megan O’Neill, a deputy attorney general for the California Department of Justice, laid out the states’ case for jurors during opening statements in federal court in Oakland, California. “You’re going to hear that Meta knew a lot about kids’ brains,” O’Neill said. This includes how they are constantly seeking rewards, how they are sensitive to social feedback and “how they are still developing their ability to control impulses the way adults do.”

OpenAI, the maker of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, is rolling out an experience for teens that includes safety and learning features. The learning features include quizzes, homework reminders, study mode and learning visualizations. Safety tools include reducing exposure to sensitive or potentially harmful content and limiting the amount of time teens spend on ChatGPT.

‘ChatGPT for Teens’ launches as AI safety concerns mount BY QUEENIE WONG

Los Angeles Times (TNS) OpenAI, the maker of the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, is rolling out an experience for teens that includes safety and learning features. The global introduction of “ChatGPT for Teens” comes as OpenAI and other tech companies face lawsuits that allege AI chatbots are harming young people by providing information used to plan mass shootings and suicides. As students turn to chatbots for schoolwork, teachers and parents also worry that teens will use the tools to cheat or avoid practicing critical thinking skills. OpenAI said ChatGPT users who state their age is between 13 and 17 will automatically be placed into the teen experience. The San Francisco AI company also estimates if a user is under 18 and those minors will also be added to ChatGPT for Teens. “Teens should be able to use AI to learn, create, and explore. But that access should come with protections that reflect their developmental stage, reinforce real-world relationships, and support healthy use over time,” OpenAI said in a blog post on Tuesday. The learning features include quizzes, homework reminders, study mode and learning visualizations. Safety tools include reducing exposure to sensitive or potentially harmful content and limiting

the amount of time teens spend on ChatGPT. Tech companies are under more scrutiny to make their platforms safer. Parents, some of whom lost their children to suicide or accidental drug overdose, have sued companies for damages and urged politicians to pass new child safety laws. Meta, which has an AI assistant within a standalone app and across its platforms, including Instagram, is headed to trial on Tuesday over allegations that its products harmed young people and that it misled the public about the dangers of social media. Meta-owned Instagram also has accounts with more restrictions for teens. Meta lost a social media addiction case in Los Angeles and another child safety case in New Mexico this year. A New Mexico court ordered Meta to pay $942 million and take steps to make the platform safer, including preventing minors from engaging in romantic or sexualized interactions with its AI chatbots. OpenAI has been grappling with legal hurdles, too. Last year, the parents of a California teen who died by suicide sued OpenAI over allegations that ChatGPT provided information about ways to kill himself. OpenAI has said it directs people to suicide prevention resources and denied it caused the teen’s death. The company also rolled out new parental controls. In June, Florida Attorney

General James Uthmeier sued OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman, for failing to warn the public about ChatGPT’s dangers. The lawsuit alleged that OpenAI designed and maintained a “dangerous online product where harmful information such as tips on eating disorders, self-harm, and mass murder are readily available, including to young children.” Safety concerns have also raised questions about what roles parents and teachers should play as more teens use AI chatbots. Roughly 70% of teens say their teachers haven’t talked to them about how to use AI safely, according to a survey of U.S. teens age 13 to 17 conducted by the Youth AI Safety Institute at Common Sense Media. The group, which published the survey Tuesday, said it’s releasing a new “Digital Literacy & Well-Being Curriculum” that’s free for teachers, schools and districts. It explores topics such as why using someone’s likeness to create AI-generated images without their consent is harmful. Roughly 42% of U.S. parents of teens ages 13 to 17 say they haven’t talked to their kids about chatbots, according to a survey released by the Pew Research Center in February. Roughly 1 billion people use ChatGPT every week. U.S. teens use chatbots to ﬁnd information, get help on schoolwork for entertainment and other reasons, according to the Pew Research Center.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital named Dr. Charles W. M. Roberts its new president and chief executive officer Tuesday, replacing Dr. James R. Downing, who led the nonprofit for 12 years. Roberts, who has been director of St. Jude’s Comprehensive Cancer Center and an executive Roberts vice president, will begin his new job on Jan. 1, as Downing moves into a faculty role in the hospital’s Global Pediatric Medicine department. When actor and philanthropist Danny Thomas founded St. Jude in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1962, the survival rate for childhood cancer patients was around 20%. Today, it is more than 80% and Roberts says the hope is for all childhood cancers to be easily treatable someday, with major strides toward that goal are within reach. “I’m really excited because I think we are at the dawn of a new era,” Roberts told The Associated Press in an interview. “In the next several years, I believe we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve much more of Danny’s dream than ever before. And I’m excited to take us there.” The opportunity comes through a convergence of technological advances that are creating treatments that kill childhood cancers more effectively, while also reducing the impact on the patient, Roberts said. Technology is also helping create treatments for more catastrophic childhood diseases beyond cancer. Judy Habib, chair of the St. Jude Board of Governors, said Roberts’ emphasis on new treatment discoveries played a significant role in convincing the board to choose him as the hospital’s next leader after a global search. “He combines the rigor of a researcher, the care of a clinician, and passion for our mission, making him the perfect person to lead one of the most accomplished pediatric research institutions in the world,” Habib said in a statement. When he takes on his new role as St. Jude CEO, Roberts said he plans to continue his research, which has included confirming that certain genes suppress the growth of tumors. “Keeping my hand in that is really important to make sure that I’m still at the cutting edge of understanding where the field is, what the opportunities are,” he said. “Working with other researchers is very useful input to me in helping steer our priorities. I’m a big believer in learning and growing and having input from others.”

Martinez, René Hugues

René Hugues Martinez died on August 15, 2026, after a hard-fought battle with Parkinson's Disease with Dementia for fourteen years. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and cherished him. René was a kind, principled man who lived all aspects of his life guided by his values and faith. He was always generous to those in need with all he had to give. René was best defined by his immense love for both his immediate and extended family. Perhaps most notably, René was an unrelenting supporter of his wife in everything she did, right from the moment that they met on the dance floor of her senior prom. He was a truly committed father to all four of his children, driven by a deep desire to make each of their one and only childhoods as full of love and support as possible. René was a talented designer and builder. Over four years, he completely renovated what became the family home for 27 years. René also was a steadfast supporter of Tulane, the Saints, and the Pelicans, and a beloved coach of basketball, baseball, and soccer at Carrollton Boosters for many years. After those games, he generously hosted swim parties and barbecues at the family

home. Beyond that, he opened the family home to over a hundred people each Christmas Eve for a post-Mass gathering, and often hosted celebrations of important occasions for family and friends. René was born on January 24, 1956. At the age of two, he emigrated with his parents from Oran, Algeria, to New Orleans, speaking only French. René graduated from New Orleans Academy in 1974, where he made many lifelong friends. He obtained both a Bachelors (1978) and Masters (1979) in Chemical Engineering from Tulane University, where he was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. After graduation, he worked at Union Carbide Company. He soon decided to leave engineering to pursue his burgeoning interest in business, obtaining an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business (1986). Despite his time away, René chose to make his beloved New Orleans his lifelong home. Straight out of business school, he showcased his entrepreneurial spirit by co-founding Legal Advantage, one of the first prepaid legal services companies in Louisiana. He then worked as a senior financial analyst at Freeport McMoran; CFO at McGlinchey Stafford & Mintz; and president & CEO at Optimum Affirmative Action Services. In 2003, he co-founded Pinnacle Affirmative Action Services, for which he served as president until 2017 when the business was sold. René is survived by his wife, Judy Perry Martinez; children, Connor Martinez, Kyle Martinez, Carson Martinez, and Cameron Martinez; grandchildren, Cecilia Foster-Martinez and Harrison Martinez Weber; mother, Juliette Dubea; daughter-in-law, Madeline Foster-Martinez; and son-in-law, Calvin Weber. He is preceded in death by his father, Joseph Martinez; father-in-law, Alvin Perry, Sr.; and mother-in-law, Denise Perry. He is also survived by his brothers-in-law, Al Perry, Rick Perry, and Rod Perry and their spouses, Peg Perry, Lisa Perry, and Cathy Perry, respectively, as well as beloved first cousins, many special nieces and nephews, their children, and many dear friends. A funeral Mass will be held at Holy Name of Jesus Church, 6367 Saint Charles Ave. in New Orleans, on Friday, August 28, 2026 at 3:00 pm. Visitation will begin at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in René's memory to the Parkinson's Foundation (https://www.parkinson.or g) and New Orleans Mission (https://neworlea nsmission.org).

Naugle, Thomas Calvert

Thomas Calvert Naugle, Jr., M.D., passed away peacefully August 15, 2026, at home, in the loving arms of his wife, Dennie Elizabeth (Betsy) Naugle. Dr. Naugle was born in Gadsen, Alabama, on November 30, 1939, the birthdate he proudly shared with Winston Churchill, Mark Twain, and Roy Rogers, equal giants of history in their own birthrights. Naugle grew up in Columbus, Mississippi before moving to New Orleans in 1954. Dr. Naugle was an accomplished ophthalmic plastic surgeon who earned national and international recognition. Committed to advancing the Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery field, he invented sixteen different procedures, one of which was patented, the Naugle ExOphthalmometer, still in use in surgical suites across the world. Another of his inventions, the Naugle-Fleming Knurled Dilator, reduces operating time from 1.5 hours to under 20 minutes. He also devised the Naugle Posterior Auricular Muscle Complex Graft (PAMCG) which is used in five different procedures in ophthalmic plastic surgery. He presented several Distinguished Guest Leadership papers and lectured locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. Thomas Naugle was the first surgeon in Louisiana to practice Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery. He also participated in Project Orbis in Morocco where the operating venue was a DC-8 airplane. With the plane on the ground, Dr. Naugle operated on patients while explaining the procedures to a group of physicians being cabled into a large auditorium at the airport. These lectures were captured with equipment donated by the Sony Electronics company and broadcast throughout the medical world. In 1981, Dr. Naugle participated in a lecture tour of Mainland China and Manchuria. On this trip, Naugle was exposed to the Mandarin language and thus his love of languages was born. Dr. Naugle was fluent in multiple languages, including Mandarin, Spanish,

German, Japanese and French and also had a working knowledge of four other languages. His fascination with languages remained central to his life until his final days. A hard-working, competitive and meticulous surgeon, Dr. Naugle received medical and personal accolades throughout his fifty plus years in the medical field. He was gregarious, warm, and a fun-loving soul with a strong sense of humor and much kindness in his heart. He delighted in complimenting others, spreading joy whenever he could, always greeting patients and friends with a hug. In New Orleans, carnival reigns, and through Dr. Naugle's enthusiastic leadership, a group of medical school students worked with him to found the Pine Street Block Party. Fiftyone years after its inception, the Pine Street Block Party carries on in true Naugle fashion where everyone is encouraged to revel in live musical performances by Deacon John and the Ivories, paired with the libations and festivities unique to Mardi Gras Saturday in Uptown New Orleans. In 1991, Dr. Naugle was recognized by Tulane University's Ophthalmology Residents who bestowed on him their Best Teacher Award. In 1997, Tulane University awarded Dr. Naugle the Tulane Outstanding Ophthalmology Alumnus Award. As an active contributing member of three professional organizations regulating the field of medical ophthalmology (AAO, ASOPRS, ESOPRS), Dr. Naugle participated in writing, publishing, and editing books, chapters of books and articles, penning over 75 articles that were published in juried professional journals across the world. Very early on, life prepared Thomas Naugle for the person he was to become. As a child, he learned to love music, sports, intellectual endeavors and to value and honor the rights and dignity of the human being. He carried his life's outlook to everything he did, from competitive swimming for the Audubon Swimming Team, to carrying his responsibility as a track team member, to holding rank in his university's Army and AirForce ROTC. Dr. Naugle graduated from Fortier High School and the University of Mississippi where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He graduated Tulane University School of Medicine in ophthalmology where he was Chief Resident and graduated with Honors. He then received the prestigious Heed Foundation Fellowship for PostGraduate study in Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery at the renowned Callahan Eye Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, and at Manhattan Eye & Ear Hospital, Cornell, and Columbia Hospitals in New York City. A member of the Tulane School of Medicine clinical faculty for close to 50 years, Dr. Naugle achieved the rank of adjunct professor in the Department of Ophthalmology, Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery Section. During the Vietnam War, Dr. Naugle served as a Major in the US Air Force in Japan, earning several Awards of Excellence and Exceptional Achievement Citations as well. He authored a pamphlet on Emergency Ocular Care for the entire Pacific Theater. Thomas Naugle, Dr. Tommy to many of his patients and loving family, was a Tulane University legend and is preceded in death by his parents, Dr. Thomas C Naugle, Sr. (Mildred), his grandfather,

Dr. Andrew Kincannon Naugle (Elizabeth) both Tulane University Medical School Alumni. He is also preceded in death by his infant brother, David Humphreys Naugle, and nephew, Thomas Naugle White. Tom Naugle is survived by his soulmate, Betsy Brumfield Naugle; his fourpawed buddy, Sazzy; his sister, Julia Lloyd Naugle White (Walter); sisters-inlaw, Janet M. Brumfield and Brenda Brumfield Swords; nephew, Walter Huntsville (Hunter) White IV; niece, Millette White Lin (Henry); nephew, Gaston Swords (Raven); niece Margaret Swords (Julien Burns); three great nephews and one great niece; cousin Robert Lloyd Jones and his family (Barbados); and best friend of 83 years, Dr. James Keeton. Special appreciation to caregivers Chanel Franklin, CeeCee Duplessis, Sheree Nelson and Debra Wallace. The family also is indebted to Liz Cabrera, Dr. Christine Cao, Dr. Meredith Maxwell, Dr. John DePaula and Compassus Hospice. A theme that ran throughout Thomas Calvert Naugle's life was one of commitment, of honor, duty, and hard work. Each chapter of his life spoke of the tremendous impact he had on the lives of others, his patients, his colleagues, his friends, and society at large. Since birth, Tom exhibited a joie de vivre, and many were drawn to his mischief, his grandiose stories, his love of music and his overall optimism for life; he was a lifelong Old Miss Rebel and Saints fan. Dr. Naugle had a long and amazing career in medicine. He continued to the end of his life, to lead groups of residents in the understanding of his medical ideas. At his dining room table residents would gather, asking questions, learning, developing and expanding their own understanding of the magnitude of Dr. Naugle's work. Thomas Naugle was proud of these sessions because he wanted his intellectual banner to be carried on, to be further developed and enhanced, for the betterment of the world. We will miss you, Thomas Calvert Naugle, colleague, friend, and loving husband, brother and uncle. The memory of who you were and the good you did for the medical world and your local and global community will continue to be alive, until the end of time. A private service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Department of Ophthalmology, Tulane University School of Medicine, 131 S. Robertson St., 12th Floor, #8069, New Orleans, LA 70112, or charity of your choice would be appreciated.

OPINION N O L A.C O M/opinions

OUR VIEWS

A real opportunity for La. workers is gone with the wind It was with deepening concern that we watched the unraveling of support for offshore wind projects along Louisiana’s Gulf Coast. While we knew that many of the issues related to offshore wind remained to be resolved, we and many others saw a budding industry that could make use of the unique skills of Louisiana companies and workers to diversify an energy sector that has been heavily reliant on oil and gas for so long. And at one time, there was broad bipartisan support for this point of view. The state famously embraced an “all-of-the-above” energy strategy, and shipbuilders and fabrication companies were taking advantage of new opportunities on the horizon. Key lawmakers in Washington were pushing to make sure the state got its share of money from offshore wind lease sales to potentially help shore up money for our coast. Now, all that appears to have come to an abrupt end with the federal government under President Donald Trump pulling back support for wind energy projects. The death knell may have come earlier this month with the German company RWE reaching a settlement with the government to relinquish its leases, including one off the coast of Cameron Parish, which was lauded when it was announced as the first offshore wind project in federal waters in the Gulf. Make no mistake, this doesn’t mean the end of wind energy globally. It only means that the United States, and more importantly, our Louisiana companies, won’t be able to benefit as easilyfrom what is sure to be a booming industry as the world seeks alternatives to fossil fuels. The numbers don’t lie. Global wind energy hit a record of 1,299 installed gigawatts in 2025, a 40% increase over the previous year, according to the Global Wind Energy Council. China leads the world in wind energy, with the United States a distant second and falling. The rationale for turning away from wind appears thin — Trump says he wants to open more areas to oil and gas drilling and is turning to nuclear energy. But there is no way that increased wind exploration hindered those aims. It was clear that private sector companies saw potential for profit here, and the downsides were something that the developing industry had plans to address. We hope there will be some resurrection of this important industry at a future date. But for now, we are dismayed for the workers and companies who saw a new market disappear right in front of their eyes. We hope that Louisiana skill and expertise will still be useful in wind projects around the globe. We know that our people can innovate and compete with anyone. We only wish that our own government would give them the chance to show it.

YOUR VIEWS

Government should serve citizens, not punish them How many times does Gov. Jeff Landry have to target New Orleans before we stop pretending these are unrelated policy decisions? New Orleans voters overwhelmingly elected Calvin Duncan as clerk of Criminal Distict Court. The state responded by eliminating the ofﬁce he was elected to lead. The state has moved to reduce New Orleans judgeships and cut funding previously allocated to the Orleans Parish district attorney’s ofﬁce. Before the New Orleans Super Bowl, the administration spent millions on a temporary shelter to remove people experiencing homelessness from highly visible areas. Instead of investing those millions in permanent solutions,

public dollars went to a short-term operation run by a company whose owners have contributed to Republican political causes. Now the administration wants control of federal homelessness funding intended to house some of New Orleans’ poorest and most vulnerable residents. Yet while the state’s intentions surfaced through a leak, where is the public explanation of how required services would be provided or these federal dollars spent? That secrecy feels familiar. Revelations about nondisclosure agreements involving government ofﬁcials and corporations doing business with the state raise the same question: Why

High court was scene of a hostile takeover The Louisiana Supreme Court’s recent opinion recusing Chief Justice John Weimer from participating in an appeal in which a former judicial colleague serves as counsel is interesting on many levels. It raises questions about under what circumstances a justice may be removed from a case. Lawyers care about that. It also details the recent history of discord between the chief justice and other current and former members of the Supreme Court over judicial compensation and expense reimbursement. We should all care about that. What struck me, however, is something that appears as more of an afterthought in the court’s recusal order. Speciﬁcally, the order states that one of the grounds offered by counsel seeking recusal was the action taken in 2023 to denude Justice Weimer of his constitutionally mandated administrative responsibilities and lodge them in an “executive committee” of the other six justices, chaired by that same counsel, then serving as a Supreme Court justice. Yes, for whatever the reason, the

six associate justices arrogated the chief justice’s administrative responsibilities to themselves, leaving the chief with a hat but no cattle. And, by all accounts, they did so without making this action public by rule, announcement or written order until three years later. So what, you say? Well, Art V, § 6 of the Louisiana Constitution designates the chief justice as the “chief administrative ofﬁcer of the judicial system of the state, subject to rules adopted by the court.” The phrase “subject to rules adopted by the court” clearly gives a majority of justices a role in deciding how the chief justice exercises his administrative authority. But that’s not what happened here. Rather, the six associate justices stripped the chief justice of exercising virtually any administrative duties. That’s not a rule; that’s a hostile takeover.

LAWRENCE PONOROFF law professor emeritus New Orleans

Weimer did right thing by calling out judicial fund I am so proud of Justice John Weimer, who appears to be alone in his concerns over misuse of taxpayer money (“Louisiana Supreme Court chief justice responds to recusal after clash with colleagues”). Justices who actually have a residence in New Orleans should not feel free to charge for living

expenses. The supplemental compensation fund seems designed to hide the actual salary of all the statewide judges and should be abolished. Thank you, Justice Weimer, for trying to look out for us taxpayers.

GEORGIA WILEMON Baton Rouge

are Louisiana’s leaders so determined to keep their intentions from public view? Apparently, poverty and homelessness aren’t the only things this administration would prefer we didn’t see. How many coincidences make a pattern? New Orleans loses resources. New Orleans loses judges. New Orleans voters have their choices overridden. Poor people are swept away, warehoused or threatened with jail. New Orleans is not Louisiana’s enemy. Poverty is not a crime. State government should serve its citizens, not punish them.

SUSAN MEALY New Orleans

Magic wand won’t end homelessness Regarding the governor’s aim to take over grants for the homeless from Unity of Greater New Orleans, many people don’t understand how much work Unity puts into helping people. It’s not just about a place to live. There are caseworkers, people who help with life skills, legal services, etc., so people learn to support themselves and stay housed. It’s easy to criticize when you’re not the one trying to work miracles. Not only do Unity workers reach out to unhoused people, but they also offer them help and find them places to live; they have to manage the budget, ensuring they’re using funds for the best results, find people willing to do the work for the pay, write grants and raise money. They administer grants to partners, comply with regulations and find places willing to take people who have been homeless. Unity is audited annually, another necessary but time-consuming process. There are obstacles to overcome, and the need is bigger than the resources. Staff members are committed, talented and selfless. Because federal grants are not disbursed in a lump sum — all expenses must be fronted and submitted for reimbursement — Unity and its partners operate with continuous, large lines of credit that they pay interest on. No one would do this work if their heart and soul were not truly in it. It’s difficult, painful, sometimes extremely rewarding and sometimes thankless. I hope everyone will learn more about the problem, what is being done, the successes and what more is needed to do. I pray for the employees of Unity and the people they help. And I pray for those who think that somebody can wave a magic wand and fix it all so easily.

COMMENTARY Midwest shows DSA left could take over Democratic Party

It’s worth poking around the entrails of the returns for the agonizingly close and, given the pre-primary polls, surprising results of recent Democratic primaries in the key swing Midwestern states of Michigan and Wisconsin, with a side look at Minnesota. These results highlight a basic split between the constituencies that have suddenly come to domiMichael nate the Democratic priBarone mary electorate, neither of which much resembles the White working-class demographic, the memory of which Democratic politicians invoke nostalgically, though its members mostly vote for Trump Republicans these days. In both Michigan’s senatorial and Wisconsin’s gubernatorial primaries, the results were so close that it’s useful to express them in the usually supererogatory tenths of a percentage. In Michigan, the Woke 2 (to use Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s terminology) candidate Abdul El-Sayed beat Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Michigan, by a margin of 1 percentage point. In Wisconsin, the establishment choice, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, beat Assemblywoman Francesca Hong by 0.4 percentage points. Switches of just 8,000 votes in Michigan and 2,000 votes in Wisconsin would have changed the results. Just as El-Sayed’s victory does not prove that a candidate who emphasized issues out of the Democratic Socialists of America playbook is a sure winner, Hong’s defeat does not prove that such a candidate is a sure loser. Both have proven that a DSA-type candidate can be a serious contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, a year in which, if current trends continue, the Democratic nominee would be favored to win the presidency. Looking back, one can see how changes in the Republican Party’s constituencies foretold the success of Donald Trump’s candidacy. In the 2008 and 2012 presidential primaries, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum carried the noncollege demographic and nonmajor metropolitan areas in seriously contested Midwestern primaries.

Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate Abdul El-Sayed speaks at a rally for Michigan Democrats in Detroit.

In 2016, those groups were key to Trump’s plurality wins in crowded primary ﬁelds and to his upsets of Hillary Clinton in the key Midwestern states of — yes, the same ones again — Michigan and Wisconsin. Midwestern Democratic primaries were once dominated by blue-collar workers in major factory towns. But less than half of Michigan’s primary vote this month came from metro Detroit, which favored the establishment candidate Stevens, 51% to 45%. El-Sayed’s margin and more came from the state’s college and university counties, where some 14% of all Democratic primary voters supported him over Stevens, 59% to 37%. There were splits within the metro areas as well. El-Sayed, who is Muslim and spoke out constantly against Israel, carried heavily Arab American Dearborn, 78% to 20%, while Stevens carried next-door and majority-Black Detroit, 62% to 34%. In Oakland County, heavily gay Ferndale voted 78% to 21% for El-Sayed, while neighboring and heavily Jewish Oak Park voted for Stevens, 60% to 33%. As elections analyst Ryan McComb notes, precinct returns showed ElSayed ran strongest in places where a majority of adults had college degrees and incomes below $100,000. That’s the “downward-mobile educated class,” as he put it, or the “graduate student proletariat,” a term I’ve used since Jesse Jackson won the 1988 Michigan presidential primary. We don’t yet have such ﬁne-grained analyses of Wisconsin, but there are some obvious reasons why Hong fell

just short. Her chief weakness was in her home turf, Dane County, which she carried by just 7 percentage points. It’s home not only to the state’s flagship university but the state capital, Madison. Hong seemed far less adroit and charming than El-Sayed. For the last two weeks, she parried with difficulty questions about her past advocacy of abolishing prison and police. Even Madison denizens may have feared her opposition to Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day might strike normie voters as bizarre. In contrast, El-Sayed’s disparagement of football, Fourth of July fireworks and Mackinac Island seem to have become public only after the primary. Crowley carried his home turf, metro Milwaukee, 44% to 39%, based on strong support from Blacks and affluent Whites. Still, Hong carried counties beyond Madison and Milwaukee, not just college towns like La Crosse, Eau Claire and Stevens Point but also Wausau, Oshkosh, Appleton and Green Bay. My guess is, that’s due to strong support from low-income college grads — we’ll see if that’s right from finer-grain analysis. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, the one clear contest between a DSA-type progressive and a more conventional Democrat resulted in a solid left-wing victory: Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (DMinn.) beat Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.), 59% to 39%. Minnesota is dominated by the Twin Cities metro, which includes the flagship state university in Minneapolis and the state capital of St. Paul. It’s also the home of 62% of the state’s population and 74% of Democratic primary voters. That’s why it’s been a further reach for Republicans than Wisconsin or Michigan. In any case, it’s wrong to conclude, “Socialist wave hits wall with upset in Wisconsin.” There’s a large segment of the Democratic Party that is “charged up and ready to go,” in Barack Obama’s phrase, and could capture the party’s presidential nomination — and maybe the White House. Something like that happened in 2016 and could happen again in 2028. Michael Barone is on X, @MichaelBarone.

controversies that have put his popularity ratings on the skids. For example, while Wisconsin’s votes were being counted, Trump’s approval rating continued its downward slide amid the interminable Iran war and its knock-on effects on the economy and affordability. But, as I always caution, it’s early. With the midterms less than three months away, there’s still time for either party to lose. And the same goes for the next presidential election in 2028, when Trump (presumably) will not be on the ballot. The Democrats would do well to remember the lessons of 1972, the ﬁrst election in which I was old enough to vote. Richard Nixon was well-positioned to win reelection. The economy was recovering from a recession; he was winding down the Vietnam War, and with his trips to Beijing and Moscow, he had largely defused the Cold War. Yet his victory was a historic landslide, in which he won more than 60% of the popular vote (a GOP high-water mark) and carried every state but Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. He owed this stunning result to an unexpected gift: Democratic disarray. Long story short, the Democrats had failed to patch up their differences in time. George McGovern had won the Democratic nomination on his bona ﬁdes as an antiwar liberal, and that inspired more traditionalist elements in the party, such as some labor unions and Southerners, to start an “Anybody But McGovern” campaign. In order to win in 2028, the Democrats have to do more than wait for the current president to destroy his own presidency. They need to nominate someone without dividing themselves and destroying their own chances. Their challenge begins now. Email Clarence Page at clarence47page@gmail.com.

Chicagoans are getting fed up with the city’s teachers union CHICAGO — The social science phrase “wicked problem” can denote social dysfunction that is insoluble because those causing it are immovable from power. But America’s worstgoverned city has begun breaking the grip of the peculiar political machine driving Chicago’s decline. The Chicago Teachers Union’s cupidity in enriching itself, and the dismal results of Chicago’s public George schools, have drained the public’s Will reservoir of goodwill. Among the reasons for the CTU’s downfall is a school named for someone who, as a slave, taught himself to read — a skill poorly imparted by Chicago teachers, when they teach. The indispensable Illinois Policy Institute says the Frederick Douglass Academy, whose 47 classrooms were built to accommodate 1,008 students, has 27. But the CTU has seen to it that it has 28 full-time staff. So, in the 2023-2024 school year, Douglass spent $93,000 per pupil. But Douglass is not entirely an outlier. At more than 50 Chicago schools, the percent of students who achieve math proficiency is 0. The 20 lowestenrollment schools, spending $33,500 per student, have an 11% average reading proficiency. Students graduate unprepared for flourishing; the CTU thrives. The adjective “wicked” should be used sparingly in political discourse, but it fits the CTU’s ongoing child abuse. Last year, 43% of the city’s teachers were absent 10 or more school days. Students similarly negligent produce the phenomenon called “chronic absenteeism.” A quarter of Chicago high school students missed more than a month of school, and 100% of Douglass’s seniors were chronically absent. Yet the graduation rate remains high, at about 83%. The CTU’s president, Stacy Davis Gates, who likes her son’s private school, vows to “create the crisis by which the boss … the government can no longer ignore you.” But the CTU is the government’s boss, having engineered the election of a former CTU organizer, Brandon Johnson, as mayor. Johnson’s guileless candor indicates the CTU’s sense of invulnerability: “I personally don’t give a lot of attention to grades. … My responsibility is not simply to grade the system, but to fund the system.” So, deciding “whether or not our public school system is working” depends not on measuring cognitive outcomes. Rather, it depends solely on the amount of taxpayer money that flows into the system, ultimately to the CTU. Ninety-three percent of Johnson’s funds came from the CTU and other unions. Davis Gates calls standardized testing “junk science rooted in white supremacy” and designed to fail Black students. CTU placeholders like Johnson are fungible. Electing union ciphers, and passing union-favored ballot measures, is facilitated by Chicago’s scheduling of elections. They do not occur in state and national political cycles. They occur during winter, when the razor-sharp winds off Lake Michigan discourage participation. A highly motivated minority can prevail in small turnouts. This is one reason Chicago’s government of, by and for government employees spends more than 22% of local revenue on government employees’ pensions. The CTU’s indifference to norms was displayed on May 1, when Chicago Public Schools staged a “day of civic action,” busing students downtown to attend political events demanding more money for public employees. During the Biden administration’s pandemic spending spree, the number of CPS employees increased more than 19% while school enrollments were shrinking 9%. It is, however, a law of political physics: There is some critical mass of corruption, some arrogance so off-putting, some indifference to competence so gross that some reform is irresistible, even here. In 2024, the CTU and its affiliates squandered $2.1 million of their almost $2.9 million in political contributions to 10 CTU-supported school board candidates, six of whom lost. The union’s request for members to pay higher dues was crushed. The CTU has unsuccessfully demanded that the school district get a $300 million high-interest loan to fund the union’s contract demands. Voters soundly rejected a tax increase that was marketed as spending for the homeless but could have funded housing stipends for CTU members. A poll last month showed that nearly 14% of Chicagoans want Johnson to seek reelection. For decades, a large majority of Chicagoans liked teachers, and hence their union. Now, however, Chicago ranks last among the nation’s four largest cities (the others: New York, Los Angeles, Houston) in fourth graders’ reading and math proficiency (23% and 24%, respectively). A Chicago political axiom: “Don’t make no waves, don’t back no losers.” The CTU is losing, inundated by waves of hostility it has created. In 1955, an alderman content with Mayor Richard J. Daley’s machine said, “Chicago ain’t ready for reform yet.” The CTU has made it ready. Email George Will at georgewill@washpost. com.

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

Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need. Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $274 for a checkup ... $299 for a filling ... $1,471 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.

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.

Tigers must hold the line LSU’s success could hinge on how youngsters perform in the trenches

When Nick Saban was the LSU football coach, he brought up the old adage about how you can chalk up a loss for every freshman you have to start. Then college football changed and for a long period of time trended younger. Coaches felt compelled to play freshmen who could help them right away, especially at Scott the skill positions, worryRabalais ing that if they were good enough they would be gone in three years to the NFL. Now, the pendulum has swung back. Because of the transfer portal, big-time programs such as LSU are bringing in experienced veteran players from other schools, pushing freshmen back down the depth charts. “Old teams win now,” LSU coach Lane Kiffin said Monday. “I think that’s the maturity of the player, the fourth- and fifth-year player. How they think and what’s important to them. They’re used to playing. They’re veterans.” Sometimes, though, veterans just aren’t available or aren’t better than the freshmen who can take the leading roles from their older teammates. Kiffin’s first LSU team looks like it’s going into this season with freshmen in critical roles on the interior defensive line. Deuce Geralds, a 6-foot-1, 279-pound freshman from Suwanee, Georgia, and Richard Anderson, the 6-3, 339-pound blue-chipper from New Orleans prep

Saints wide receiver Jordyn Tyson walks off the field after Saturday’s preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Caesars Superdome. Tyson is expected to be sidelined about two months with a hamstring injury suffered during Thursday’s practice.

Saints dealing with fallout of WR Tyson’s latest hamstring injury BY MATTHEW PARAS Staff writer

This was the risk of drafting Jordyn Tyson. Saints coach Kellen Moore said the rookie wide receiver’s latest hamstring injury is different from hamstring issues that Analysis the affected Tyson’s ﬁnal year at Arizona State. Moore said the way Tyson was hit — how his foot slipped out from underneath while shoved from behind during Thursday’s joint practice against the Jacksonville Jaguars— “probably” would have led to a hamstring injury for any player. But Tyson entered the NFL with

questions about whether he could stay healthy. Before his ﬁrst season has begun, the eighth overall pick now is sidelined for about two months with another hamstring injury. Let’s dive into the ripple effects of what Tyson’s injury means for the Saints.

Next men up Tyson’s setback puts more pressure on Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele to stay healthy. Olave and Vele both have their own injury histories. It will be paramount they are available for the Saints, who are looking to improve an offense that ranked 27th in DVOA (efﬁciency) last

season. In terms of target share and snaps, Vele may beneﬁt the most in the short term. Previously set to be the third receiver, the 28-year-old presumably will be on the ﬁeld even when the Saints roll out two-receiver sets. He also established chemistry with quarterback Tyler Shough last season. Vele was effective on intermediate routes, accounting for 185 of his 293 yards receiving. But there will be other opportunities. The Saints will see which of their young receivers is ready for a larger role. Fourth-rounder Bryce Lance and sixthrounder Barion Brown have had their

‘It took a big toll on us’ Father’s unexpected death helps fuel Tulane DE Lewis

BY GUERRY SMITH Contributing writer

Howard Lewis will not be physically present for his son Josh’s first career start at Tulane, which most likely will be in this year’s season opener at Duke on Sept. 5. Spiritually, it is a different story. Josh Lewis, a redshirt freshman defensive end whose dad died unexpectedly two days before Tulane played at Temple last November, has used that tragedy as fuel for his fire while practicing with the top unit almost every day this preseason camp. “It took a big toll on me, but this winter and spring I just wanted to go in and give it my all,” he said. “Everything means a lot more to me. When I go out there on the field, I feel I do everything for him. The conversations we had about this moment right now (starting), I’m just excited and grateful and truly blessed to be here.” Lewis, a Dutchtown High alum, took his parents on his official visits to Missouri, Houston and Tulane in 2024, initially committing to Missouri before switching his allegiance to the Green Wave. Losing his father was a total shock. It was something he learned when he was called away from Tulane’s academic center on Nov. 20, a date etched in his mind. A day later, former Wave coach Jon

Texas, Manning have championship hopes

BY JIM VERTUNO AP sportswriter

AUSTIN, Texas — Arch Manning’s name is still on the back of the No. 16 jersey. Texas is still on the front. Stitched permanently into both are the questions of whether player and program can deliver on super-sized potential and expectations of a national championship. Year two of the Manning era at Texas carries a lot with it, from the residue of last season’s failures of not making the College Football Playoff to the burning new question of “if not now, when?” Coach Steve Sarkisian aggressively used the transfer portal to retool the lineup around his star quarterback in a push for a return to the CFP. Twenty-one years since its last national title, Texas loaded up for what could be Manning’s moment. Can he stitch his name into Texas history? “He’s a very dangerous player because he learned a lot from last ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO By ERIC GAy season, and he is surrounded by Texas quarterback Arch Manning, center, and running back Hollywood Smothers, left, take part in a preseason some good players,” Sarkisian practice in Austin, Texas, on Aug. 5. said. “I think that he’s a guy that’s poised for a heck of a season.” And as Manning goes, so does lina State), and added elite wide Cam Coleman, go get a Hollywood played.

Pelicans sign forward Dia to a two-way contract

Malik Dia’s impressive Summer League play for the New Orleans Pelicans has landed him a two-way contract. The team announced the deal Tuesday. Dia is a 6-foot-9 forward who played at Ole Miss. He didn’t get drafted, but he made the most of his time with the Pelicans in Las Vegas. He averaged 10 points and 5.8 rebounds in the Summer League play. His best outing was in a win over the Phoenix Suns when he scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds. Dia also had a pair of steals and blocks in that game. On his two-way deal, Dia will split time between the Pelicans and the Laketown Squadron, the Pels’ G League afﬁliate that will play its games in Kenner.

Colts add depth by signing WR Allen to 1-year deal

INDIANAPOLIS — Keenan Allen is getting another chance to extend his NFL career. The Indianapolis Colts added depth to their receiving corps by signing the 34-year-old receiver to a one-year contract worth up to $8.32 million, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Allen is a six-time Pro Bowler who caught at least 100 passes in a season ﬁve times, won the NFL’s 2017 Comeback Player of the Year Award and is the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers’ career leader with 985 receptions in 12 seasons with the team. He also worked with Colts coach Shane Steichen for seven seasons when they were with the Chargers. Steichen was the offensive quality control coach from 2014-15.

Jets running back Hall is sidelined with groin strain

New York Jets running back Breece Hall will be sidelined two to three weeks with a strained groin, but is expected to be ready to play in the regular-season opener. Coach Aaron Glenn was cautiously optimistic after Hall caught a pass late in practice Monday, pulled up and fell to the rainslicked grass. Glenn said Tuesday that tests conﬁrmed that the injury isn’t serious and won’t sideline the Jets’ No. 1 running back for long. “Knowing how important he is for what we’re doing, it was really exciting to hear it,” Glenn said. The 25-year-old Hall is considered a key to New York’s offense and is coming off his ﬁrst 1,000yard rushing season.

Buckeyes, Ducks out to supplant Hoosiers in Big Ten Mancini retires after a BY ERIC OLSON

And the rest

The 2025 Indiana Hoosiers won the Big Ten and national championship and were the ﬁrst team in the modern era to go 16-0. They have 10 starters back, the hottest coach in the game and a manageable schedule. It’s Ohio State and Oregon generating most of the preseason buzz, though, with both perched 1-2 atop the preseason AP Top 25 poll and among eight ranked teams. The consensus around the sport is that the Buckeyes and Ducks are loaded and the Hoosiers’ roll is about to slow with TCU transfer Josh Hoover replacing Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 NFL draft pick Fernando Mendoza. Doubt coach Curt Cignetti at your own peril. He’s 27-2 with two College Football Playoff appearances at Indiana and has yet to write a check his team can’t cash. Ohio State plays the toughest conference schedule. The Buckeyes visit Indiana on Oct. 17 and host Oregon on Nov. 7. Those games will go a long way in deciding which teams make the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis, not to mention affect CFP seeding. The Buckeyes are built for what awaits. Jeremiah Smith is the most productive receiver in the nation, quarterback Julian Sayin is one of the most accurate passers and the offensive line is elite. There are plenty of talented transfers waiting to emerge for a defense replacing eight starters, all of whom were drafted. Oregon is one of the most seasoned teams in the nation with quarterback Dante Moore among six starters back on offense and

5-game Angels comeback

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Trey Mancini, the AL Comeback Player of the Year in 2021 for his return from colon cancer who then helped Houston win the 2022 World Series, announced his retirement Tuesday after his latest comeback lasted five games with the Los Angeles Angels. Mancini, 34, agreed to a minor league contract with the Angels in February, a deal that included an invitation to major league spring training. Mancini hit .273 with six homers, 29 RBIs and three steals for Triple-A Salt Lake this year. The right-handed batter had three hits in his first major league game since 2023 playing first base in a 5-4 loss to the Houston Astros in 10 innings. Mancini’s final major league appearance was June 14.

Man charged in burglary of Biffle’s home after he died

STATESVILLE, N.C. — A Georgia man burglarized former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle’s home after learning Biffle and his family died in a plane crash, a North Carolina sheriff said Tuesday. Terrell Williams, 44, has been charged with second-degree burglary, safe cracking, money laundering and other felonies, Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell announced at a news conference. Williams was being held without bond in Cobb County, Georgia, on suspicion of another home burglary. Campbell said investigators were led to Williams in July, when Cobb County police arrested him and found items taken from Biffle’s home. Biffle, his wife and his two children, along with three others, died in the Dec. 18 crash.

Mulkey explains pairing Russian, Ukrainian players BY REED DARCEY Staff writer

Kim Mulkey doesn’t remember when she sat down with Kate Koval this offseason, but she remembers where. It was in the parking lot of her 6-foot-5 center’s apartment complex. Ordinarily, Mulkey wouldn’t talk to one of her players before she recruits another. But she thought that this situation required a little extra care — and perhaps a more intimate setting than the second-floor offices her program occupies in the athletics administration building. “We just sat in the car,” Mulkey told The Advocate on Monday. “Kept the AC on.” And then they talked. Mulkey wanted to discuss with Koval the fact that she had an opportunity to pursue a center named Anna Minaeva. She won’t turn 18 until January, but Minaeva already was playing professional hoops, and her film had intrigued both Mulkey and a few other power-conference coaches across the country. Minaeva is 6-5 and skilled, with a soft touch and impressive vision. Mulkey thought she could, despite her age, make “an immediate impact” this season for her LSU team.

The problem is that Minaeva is from Russia and Koval is from Ukraine. At least a couple of handfuls of players from those two countries have moved to the U.S. to play Division I women’s college basketball since Russia first invaded its neighbor to the west in 2022, but it does not appear that any of them have played on the same team. Koval and Minaeva — who was announced as LSU’s latest signee on Friday — are now the first, and Mulkey hopes the fact they are sharing a locker room turns into an uplifting story once the 2026-27 season Mulkey tips off Nov. 2. That’s part of the vision she laid out for Koval in the parked car. “I want you to understand I’m not here to ask you to change how you feel about Russia,” Mulkey said, recalling her conversation with Koval. “I’m just here out of respect for your family and out of respect for you to let you know. Because I know how personal it is for you. “Know that what I have to do in this business, I cannot make a decision to not recruit somebody that can help our program because of a con-

flict between two countries.” Koval, a junior, was born and raised in Ukraine’s capital city Kyiv. Her father, Oleksandr, is fighting in the war. He’s a drone operator. The one time he could visit the U.S. last season to watch an LSU game, Koval said she was “grateful” he was there because she didn’t have to “worry for his life” — something she does “every single day” when he’s back home. There’s reason for Koval to worry. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in January that his country has suffered more than 50,000 service member deaths as part of a war that, as of August, also has killed at least 16,000 Ukrainian civilians. According to UN data, the number of civilian casualties has increased every month in 2026. Sometimes the war intersects with the sports world. In June, a Ukrainian gymnast covered her eyes with her hands during a medal ceremony to protest an International Gymnastics Federation decision that allowed Russian athletes to compete under their country’s flag. The issue also surfaced this year at the French Open, where Ukrainian player Marta Kostyuk dedicated a quarterfinal win to her home country and called out her

Russian opponents who had not spoken publicly about the war. Minaeva first appeared on LSU’s radar two months before that event began, when Mulkey hired former Miami assistant Fitzroy Anthony to fill a vacancy on her staff. Mulkey said Anthony deserves “all the credit” for landing the two international players the Tigers signed this offseason: Minaeva and Spanish forward Noa Morro. Anthony told The Advocate he was already recruiting Morro to Miami before he accepted the job at LSU. He discovered Minaeva, he said, through an overseas contact who reached out to say they knew of a player who “would be a great fit” at LSU. Once Anthony received Minaeva’s film, he passed it along to Mulkey, associate head coach Bob Starkey and the rest of the staff. “Bob was like, ‘Wow, this kid’s special,’ ” Anthony said. “They think she actually has the ability to be a (WNBA) draft pick.” So Starkey and Mulkey each sat down with Koval, then started recruiting Minaeva. Because she and Morro are on board — along with Koval and 6-2 forward Grace Knox — 6-foot sophomore ZaKiyah Johnson can spend more time on the perimeter than she did last season,

when the Tigers stationed her primarily in the post. The group offers a nice blend of size and versatility. Knox is long and athletic. Morro is 6-3, and she can shoot 3-pointers. There may come a time when Mulkey puts Koval and Minaeva on the ﬂoor at the same time, and if she does, she said she wants them to “pass the ball to each other.” “I love Kate,” Mulkey said. “I love her family, and I wanted them to know. I wanted her to know. “You want her to feel your compassion, and yet you don’t ask her to change her feelings. Her feelings are what they are. You just want her to know and be informed. That’s all.” In the car, Mulkey said she thinks Koval and Minaeva can be “ambassadors” for kinship amid international conﬂict. Maybe the two LSU post players could even help end the war. “‘You never know,’ ” Mulkey recalled telling Koval. “And she just kind of smiled and said, ‘I doubt that.’” Email Reed Darcey at reed. darcey@theadvocate.com.

Tigers tight end Green a preseason All-American Two LSU teammates make second team BY JON BLAU Staff writer

Lane Kiffin doesn’t just have talent on his inaugural LSU roster. He is expected to have AllAmerica level talent. Tight end Trey’Dez Green was announced Tuesday as the first-team tight end on the preseason Associated Press All-America squad, while safety Ty Benefield and offensive tackle Jordan Seaton were second-team selections. Green, a 6-foot-7 former basketball player, heads into his junior season with extremely high expectations. He was hot and cold as a sophomore with 33 catches, 433 yards and seven touchdowns, but Kifﬁn’s offense should feed him the ball more regularly. Seaton was a second-team All-Big 12 selection at Colorado as a sophomore and will protect Arizona State transfer Sam Leavitt’s blindside this season. The 6-5, 307-pound junior was projected as a top-10 NFL draft pick by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. this week. Benefield, a senior who comes over from Boise State, is considered a topﬁve safety prospect in this year’s draft class. LSU was one of seven SEC schools to have more than one honoree on the preseason All-America squad. Only five teams nationally exceeded LSU with four selections, including defending national champ Indiana, Oregon, and fellow SEC squads Ole Miss, Georgia and Texas. The Rebels put quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, running back Kewan Lacy, defensive tackle Will Echols and kicker Lucas Carneiro on the team.

Smith, Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy and Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore are returning AP ﬁrst-team All-America picks who are on the preseason team. Iowa’s Kade Pieper was voted first-team center by a wide margin even though this will be his ﬁrst season playing the position. He moved from right guard to replace 2025 consensus AllAmerican Logan Jones. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Email Jon Blau at jon. blau@theadvocate.com

power Edna Karr, look like they’re trending toward being LSU’s starting defensive tackles. Geralds, undersized but agile, enrolled in January and has been turning heads since spring practice. Anderson, the nation’s top-rated defensive tackle prospect, formed an impressive 1-2 ranked recruiting coup for Kiffin with defensive end Lamar Brown from University High. No one is questioning the talent Geralds and Anderson bring to the Tigers. Their upside is high. But this is the Southeastern Conference, where talent is only part of the equation. Playing D-line in this league is only a notch below playing in the NFC South. It takes skill and guile to succeed, with experience being the best teacher. The David Mamet quote — “Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance” — certainly applies. In short, LSU needs to be a strong team up the middle against the run to have a chance to be in the 12-team College Football Playoff. The Tigers were solid against the run in 2025 — 32nd in the FBS in rushing defense with 124.1 yards per game, 26th in third-down conversion defense. LSU needs to at least be that good against a schedule that includes five preseason AP Top 25 opponents. LSU came in at No. 11 overall when the AP poll was released Monday after being No. 13 in the USA Today coaches poll. They are rankings that reflect both the confidence in the Tigers’ ability and

The Tigers’ rebuilt defensive line, with all new starters, is a microcosm of their promise and potential pitfalls. You could say the same thing for the Tigers’ rebuilt offensive line, with only one full-time starter (center Braelin Moore) returning. Less than three weeks before the Sept. 5 season opener against Clemson, the starting O-line looks to be transfer Jordan Seaton at left tackle, veteran Bo Bordelon at left guard, Moore at center, transfer Aliou Bah at right guard and another veteran, Weston Davis, at right tackle. All the bells and gadgetry of the Lane Kifﬁn/ Charlie Weis Jr. offense promise great things for LSU. But the bedrock of that offense is being able to run the ball and being successful in the trenches. For the Tigers, that cuts both ways. Run the ball. Stop the run. And hope that a lack of experience doesn’t cost LSU somewhere along the way.

Farewell to The General II Joe Dean Jr. — a basketball coach, broadcaster and administrator — died over the weekend. He was 71. The son of legendary LSU basketball player and later athletic director Joe Dean Sr., Joe Dean Jr. followed in his famous father’s footsteps as an SEC basketball broadcaster. Together they ran the long-standing Dixie Basketball Camp, held every summer in Summit, Mississippi. Joe Dean Sr. was “The General” at the camp, and Joe Dean Jr. “The General II.” Joe Dean Sr. died in 2013 at age 83. Through basketball they touched the lives of thousands of young campers, including my son Nicholas. Like his dad, Joe Dean Jr. brought energy and enthusiasm to every broadcast. “Joe was a walking, talking memorial to his legendary father, and he loved that,” said veteran broadcaster Tim Brando, a frequent partner with Dean on SEC basketball telecasts.

The name game

Haynes’ new starting QB shares name, number with N.O. legend Brees BY CHRISTOPHER DABE

Staff writer

Haynes Academy football coach P.J. Sprunk didn’t have to think long when his quarterback asked to wear No. 9. After all, the quarterback’s name is Brees. For 15 seasons, New Orleans Saints fans watched Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees wear that number while leading the franchise to its only Super Bowl championship. Nine months after that Super Bowl, Robert and Rachel Westerfield welcomed their fourth child, a boy they named Brees. Fifteen years later, that Super Bowl baby is a 6-foot-3 sophomore starting quarterback at Haynes. “People like it,” Brees Westerfield said. “They all know it’s from Drew Brees. It’s a cool name. Not many people have it.” Westerfield wore No. 16 last season when he replaced the injured senior starter for three games. After the season, he asked Sprunk about switching to No. 9. “I didn’t catch what he was saying at first,” Sprunk said. Then he figured it out. There was only one obvious choice. “I think he’s the G.O.A.T.,” Brees said of his namesake. “I think he’s better than Tom Brady. The facts prove it.” He may share a name and a number with one of the most prolific quarterbacks in NFL history, but Brees Westerfield isn’t expected to become the next Drew Brees. His job in Haynes’ run-heavy offense is much simpler: make good decisions, avoid mistakes and get the ball to his teammates. One of those teammates is Brady Cribby, a Maine native who happens to share a name with the former quarterback of Cribby’s favorite team, the New England Patriots.

season-ticket holders for six seasons and were in the Superdome for the NFC Championship Game victory over the Minnesota Vikings. They watched the Super Bowl at the Ugly Dog Saloon in the Warehouse District, then partied into the night on Bourbon Street. “The night the Saints won the Super Bowl,” Rachel said, “we did a little celebrating.” And then some. “The whole pregnancy, I was blaming Drew Brees,” Rachel said with a laugh. “So, we just decided to name him Brees.” His middle name, Michael, has nothing to do with the Saints. The Westerfields chose it because of the initials, allowing Robert to joke that “he finally got a BMW,” Rachel said. Brees has seen his namesake play in person only once, in 2019 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints lost, but the young fan remembers the experience as “amazing” because of “all those big stars out there.” He has never met Drew Brees. But he got a little closer to his namesake earlier this year when he watched the Hall of Fame quarterback ride in the Bacchus parade. By attending Haynes, Brees followed his older twin brothers, Robert and Rylee, who played offensive and defensive line and rarely came off the field. His older sister, Gabrielle, was a cheer captain. Now, years after the Saints’ Super Bowl victory, there’s another No. 9 named Brees playing quarterback for the family to support. And this time, he’s wearing the number by choice.

In other words, Haynes has a Brees and a Brady in the same backfield. “He makes good decisions,” Sprunk said. In three games last season, Brees threw one interception. Football, though, is only part of his athletic résumé. He also plays baseball as a third baseman and pitcher. Last season, he hit a grand slam for his first high school home run. He has been a quarterback for as long as he can remember. Flag football coaches at Jefferson Playground put him there and gave him No. 9 — sometimes before they even knew how well he could throw. He also grew up a Saints fan, thanks to his parents. Robert attended his first Saints game in 1984, a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Eamon Williams RB | De La Salle, Sr. The 10-3A offensive MVP “has a lot of playmaking ability,” coach Chad Mahaffey said. The 5-foot-7 rusher totaled 1,331 yards from scrimmage with 18 total touchdowns, including one on a punt return. Carter Sternberger LB | Haynes, Sr. The school-record holder in tackles in a season with 121 has been selected as a team captain for the third year in a row.

FIVE THINGS TO KNOW 1. De La Salle’s new coach, Chad Mahaffey, coached University High to three state titles and one runner-up finish over his nine seasons at the school. He coached the past seven seasons at Walker, which included a school-best 10-3 record and quarterfinal appearance in 2023. 2. De La Salle returns two all-district players along the lines: senior offensive lineman Gerald Daniels and junior defensive lineman Ronald Crawford. Charles Irwin is a starting safety and will rotate at running back. 3. The school formerly known as Livingston Collegiate is now Sarah T. Reed High School, a change made after the former Reed school closed when the school year ended in May. All-district DB Jovell Marsalis was at Reed last season. 4. At Booker T. Washington, “We have a hungry team,” coach Wayne Reese Jr. said. The winless Lions were ravaged by injuries last season, at one point using a fifth-string quarterback. “We’ll have some freshmen coming in to contribute right away.” 5. Haynes returns five all-district selections. Joining Cribby and Sternberger are wideout Gabe Estevez, offensive lineman Timothy Cagle and punter Bradley Perry.

Continued from page 1C against rookie Caleb Downs and pulled the trigger on his throw just as Olave was beating the No. 10 pick to the middle of the field for a goalline touchdown. It was two good players making a difficult game look easy, and that was the case for the entirety of Tuesday’s practice. Shough threw Olave’s way eight times, and depending on the perspective, he had either seven or eight completions. The only one that left some room for interpretation came when Olave leaped to pluck a ball off Downs’ helmet downfield. It was ruled a catch on the field, though Olave wound up cradling the ball between his legs at the end of the play. Right, left, short, deep — it didn’t really matter. Their first connection came on a deep comeback route toward the right sideline, and they made a similar hookup off play action seven plays later. Olave caught passes over the middle of the field and as an outlet in the flat. “Just continuing to grow the trust there,” Shough

said. “We’re going to keep building. We’re on the same page on a lot of stuff. We may have some hiccups here and there, but it’s a lot of fun when we’re out there and knowing what each other is thinking.” While Olave was the star of the show, Shough was on the money no matter who he threw the ball to. Shough completed 18 (or 19, on the debatable Olave catch) of his 23 passes. He threw one interception in the middle of the ﬁeld when he appeared to get fooled by the Dallas zone, but outside of that he was nearly perfect. “He’s going to get to learn from a few throws, but I thought his operation, his command, I thought he did a good job of manning (the offense) the whole day,” Moore said. His second-to-last throw of the practice was a perfectly layered drop in the bucket to tight end Noah Fant in the back of the end zone for a touchdown during a redzone period. Shough and the Saints offense got off to a slow start, but lately he is looking every bit of the quarterback that made a push for rookie of the year while making only nine starts last season.

Odds and ends

a groin injury, coach Kellen Moore said. The cornerback had a noticeable limp as he went to the medical tent for further evaluation. n The Cowboys seemingly went after Sanker more than the Jaguars did, but the 23-year-old held his ground. He even drew an offensive pass interference penalty on Pickens. It was good work considering Sanker moved from the back end to the slot in the offseason. n Boyd has done well at nose tackle in Davon Godchaux’s absence. Godchaux did not practice Tuesday with an ankle injury. Defensive lineman John Ridgeway, meanwhile, returned after he was sidelined previously with a back injury. Rookie Christen Miller (shoulder) was also out. n Of the fights that happened on the defensive side, edge rusher Tyree Wilson appeared to tick Dallas off the most. Wilson was ﬂat-out punched in his helmet after one play, causing the whistle to be blown. n Jayden Price took the first reps at punt returner. That could be a good sign the cornerback is making headway on locking down a spot on the 53-man roster. n Moore on the jersey mixup: “We were just working through a little miscommunication on the color of each side of the football. I think our defense was real excited about this because they got to pick numbers. Some of them really enjoyed these alternate numbers they got to wear.”

moments in camp, and both could provide a deep threat. Don’t discount the tight ends. Juwan Johnson is coming off a career season, and the Saints landed Noah Fant in the offseason after spending more than a year pursuing him. New Orleans was already on track to implement more 12 and 13 personnel this season, and that process could be expedited with Tyson not available. If Tyson opens the season on injured reserve, that likely will affect the Saints’ decision-making on their initial 53-man roster. If the Saints keep ﬁve receivers, Tyson’s injury could open up a spot for someone like Kevin Austin or Bub Means.

Recovery timeline Placing Tyson on injured reserve to start the season would require him to miss the ﬁrst four games, keeping him out at least until Oct. 11 against the Minnesota Vikings. But if Tyson needs two months to recover, that could push his debut to an Oct. 18 game at the New York Giants. Even that comes with questions. Would the Saints really be OK with Tyson making his debut on MetLife Stadium’s turf, a surface that has drawn criticism? And if Tyson can’t play that week, the next game is in France. Is that the right environment to unleash him? The Saints’ open date looms after that, setting up a Nov. 8 debut against the Cleveland Browns at home. If the Saints wanted to take a cautious approach, shutting Tyson down until then is an option. This all depends on Tyson’s recovery and how he responds to treatment. If he is medically cleared and feels comfortable being out there, the Saints

will play him — regardless of where that takes place.

20/20 hindsight Did the Saints make a mistake taking Tyson at No. 8? Let’s not overreact. Tyson’s injury doesn’t ease fears he’ll struggle to stay healthy in the NFL. It doesn’t guarantee that will be the case, either. Tyson is not the first rookie to have an injury that tests the patience of everyone invested. Odell Beckham — a popular pre-draft comparison for Tyson — missed the first four games of his career because of a hamstring injury before having a sensational season that included his famous onehanded catch against the Cowboys. Detroit’s Jameson Williams has blossomed into a 1,000-yard receiver despite missing most of his first season with a torn ACL that he suffered in college. For every Beckham, there’s a Kevin White or a Josh Doctson — two receivers who weren’t able to overcome injuries early in their career but didn’t live up to the high expectations that come with being a first-rounder. It’s still too early to tell how Tyson’s career will pan out. The pattern of hamstring injuries is discouraging, but when healthy, he looked like a difference-maker in practice for the Saints. His ability to create separation is special, and he used his smooth route running to routinely win matchups. The Saints needed a receiver badly, which is why they passed on Cowboys safety Caleb Downs (who went 12th) and Buccaneers edge rusher Rueben Bain (15th). The Saints could have taken wideout Makai Lemon instead, but the Philadelphia Eagles rookie has been sidelined for all of training camp with his own hamstring injury.

PHILADELPHIA FLYERS — Signed D Hunter McDonald to a two-year contract.

Sumrall informed the rest of the team in an emotional meeting. Lewis then suited up and played against the Owls as Tulane won 37-13, virtually assuring itself a spot in what would be its fourth consecutive American Conference championship game on its way to the College Football Playoff. “My teammates and coaches helped me a lot,” Lewis said. “Everybody was making sure I was all right and checking on me, coming up to my room. Even during the pre-game and game, they made sure I was good — coaches, players, everybody.” Lewis did not make a tackle against the Owls — his only stop in the four games he played last year came the following week when he was credited with half-asack against Charlotte — but this year figures to be dramatically different. Kam Hamilton, who started in front of him, graduated. Five other Tulane defensive linemen

transferred to Power Four programs. “When I was here in 2012 (as codefensive coordinator), Josh Lewis would have probably come in as a true freshman and started,” Sumrall said near the end of preseason camp in 2025. “He’s a dude. “He’s a real guy. He’s a very impressive kid who is going to be a really good player here.” Lewis’s athletic ability (he is 6-foot-5, 260 pounds) stands out immediately. He still is learning on the job, but coach Will Hall praised the way he maintained his run gap in Saturday’s scrimmage after struggling in that department earlier in camp. By all accounts, he approaches every day the right way. He was a straight A student at Dutchtown. “He has a phenomenal attitude,” Hall said. “The way he responded to losing his father was an inspiration to everyone around him. He learned that life is hard and you control what you can control. He’s a guy that lifts everybody up and has a bright future.” Lewis said he picked up the nuances of his position by watching Hamilton, who showed him how

to go off offensive linemen’s eyes and read his keys. The rest is Godgiven. “Just being able to use my natural abilities gives me a big advantage,” he said. “A lot of guys, especially in this conference, can’t really stop the power. Not everybody is blessed with long arms and the power that I have. It gives me a nice edge.” Lewis never considered leaving Tulane while redshirting last season. He loves the family atmosphere and positive energy around the program. He added that the transition has been smooth to new defensive line coach Eric McDaniel, who arrived in March after former coach Landius Wilkerson left for Arkansas. He knows it is his time, and for that matter, all of his teammates on the defensive front. The Wave will have new starters at every spot. “The room’s in great spirits,” he said. “Everybody sees who left, but we have great conﬁdence in our guys. “We bring a lot of unseen talent to the ﬁeld. We are going to shock people when we actually do play and line up.”

Generations of New Orleans people have gone to Bruno’s Tavern for drinks, game day and late-night bites. It’s back for a fresh start in 2026.

BRUNO’S

Continued from page 1D

Primed for revival

Longtime Bruno’s proprietor David Melius sold the business to a different ownership group in 2020, planning to retire. But soon that group defaulted on the sales agreement, leading to a lawsuit and eventually returning control to Melius. The bar shuttered in April. But Melius soon struck a new deal to sell Bruno’s to a group who separately operate other bars around the city. In addition to Wilson, two more new Bruno’s owners are Eric Orlando and Greg Buisson, partners in the adjacent Maple Street bar Redd’s Uptilly Tavern. The two were each also managers at Bruno’s in earlier decades. They’re joined by David Demarest, who is a partner in Bayou Beer and Wine Garden, Oak & Ale, the Holy Ground and Banks Street Bar, having brought that Mid-City institution back to life after it had closed, too. Another new partner in Bruno’s is Caufman Talley, who is a partner with Demarest in some of the bars he co-owns. “It’s the dream team,” Melius said of the new owners. “These guys have been successful everywhere they’ve been, and they’re going to be successful here too. I have a lot of faith in them.”

Steak, shrimp, lamb and salmon compose the different combination kabob plates at Byblos, a long-running Middle Eastern restaurant.

BYBLOS

Continued from page 1D The new Byblos is a familyfriendly restaurant that just opened in the large space at 900 Harrison Ave., with a dining room lined with booths and tables, a private dining room for team dinners and group outings, and outdoor patios. And then there’s the bar, a long, low, pleasingly dark den of bar stools and side tables.

Happy hours galore

A key new addition is the domed pita oven visible at the back of the dining room. The bread is cooked to order, a two-minute process creating a hot orb ready to rip open and run through the dips and wrap around grilled meats. This bread changes as it cools. From the ﬁrst tear, emitting all the steam, the texture can go from pliant to more crisp, resembling a cracker by the end. If you’re like me, you’ll want to order a fresh batch with each dish.

Specialty dishes

The first Byblos opened way back in 1994 in Old Metairie by Hicham Khodr, Gaby Saliba and Tay, who are all from Lebanon. While the city had Middle Eastern restaurants then, Byblos brought a style that was a notch nicer than the mom-and-pops of the day, and introduced many more people to the cornerstone ﬂavors of the cuisine. Over the years, Byblos has developed some house specialties and a few quirky ones too. It’s not listed on the menu, but ask for a side of the creamy white sauce called toum, an emulsion of oil and garlic, like a gentler version of Catalan alioli. It’s particularly good with any of the kebab or shawarma plates. The drunken halloumi is the house take on a Caprese salad. Planks of the dense, squeaky cheese are doused in ouzo and grilled to a golden, crisp surface and layered over tomato slices with olive oil. Fried calamari is another welcome surprise, ﬁnished with feta and tomato sauce. And what the dessert menu lists as the cookie is really a skilletHot pita sized double chocolate brownie The dining room is a little bright- under a scoop of ice cream. Tay er than its former incarnation as insists on calling this a cookie, Boil & Barrel, with some lighter though when was the last time colors here and there, and a mural you used a spoon for a cookie? Let of the city of Byblos on the Leba- the debate continue over a dram of bourbon at the bar. nese coast covering one wall.

In addition to its menu of Middle Eastern standards, Byblos has brought the same weekly lineup of happy hour deals that have made its other locations feel like neighborhood taverns at times. Tarek Tay, one of Byblos’ three partners, has become a bourbon fanatic and his newfound zeal has made the Byblos Elmwood location in particular a destination for whiskey lovers with an enormous list, including rare collector’s bottles. The Elmwood Byblos remains the throne room for this bourbon obsession, but the bar at the Lakeview bar is none too shabby in that department either. The daily happy hour runs 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. with discounted drinks. Then there are all-day specials that change for different days. Tuesday brings $6 bourbon specials and discounts on other select bourbon pours all day, Wednesday is half off wine all day and Thursday adds a list of $6 classic cocktails all day (note: Lakeview hours, now Wednesday to Sunday, will expand to daily).

During Wilson’s earlier tenure at Bruno’s, a “wine Wednesday” special was a weekly hit, selling bottles for $5 each. This wine was never the nectar of the gods, but the deal drew a crowd. Bruno’s will resume the special starting this week, Aug. 19, and at the same price. Sammy’s now has its own counter at the bar, cheekily designed after the cramped stores in Yams’ native New York that are the natural habitat for chopped cheese, complete with an assortment of snacks and sundries. A chopped cheese is a bodega variation on a burger with the beef chopped up on the griddle

Tightly wrapped in paper and foil, beﬁtting its street food roots, the pleasure of a chopped cheese is in the immediacy of biting into the hot beef-and-cheese hash on a soft roll. Sammy’s makes a localized version with chopped Patton’s hot sausage standing in for the beef as well. The new kitchen also serves chicken cutlet sandwiches and cold deli sandwiches, including the Pacino with Italian meats zinging with peperoncini and oil and vinegar. Double-crisp fries, wings and a Caesar salad to top with more cutlets round out the opening menu.

Babbling again? Leo Bruno ﬁrst opened his namesake bar at the same Maple Street address just after the repeal of Prohibition. It was originally called Leo Bruno’s College Inn, a name that would change to avoid confusion with the separate Ye Olde College Inn nearby. Angus Lind, the retired local newspaper columnist and bard of Uptown bars, said Bruno initially had a partner — Pat O’Brien, who left the business to start his own in the French Quarter, which is now the famous home of the hurricane cocktail. Always a college bar, Bruno’s

evolved with the times and developed a clientele that spans different generations. In an earlier era, bartenders wore starched white shirts, green vests and bow ties, Lind recalled. The bar stopped serving beer at 7 p.m., reserving the evening hours for cocktails only (that policy has long since been retired). It’s had three different locations, all on different corners of the same block. Bruno’s also became the hub for its own parade group, dubbed the Babbling Bastards of Bruno’s, with a court selected from bar regulars. It paraded around the neighborhood with ﬂoats fashioned as banana wagons, ending with a ball back at Bruno’s. Krewe d’Etat pays tribute to its memory with a banana wagon ﬂoat as a signature unit in its own Carnival parade. Wilson said he and his partners plan to bring back the parade tradition at the new Bruno’s, perhaps as early as this spring. To begin, Bruno’s opens at 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Sammy’s opening schedule is Wednesday through Sunday, with additional days coming soon.

SEITHER’S

Continued from page 1D po-boy again. But I was quickly reminded that there is no off-season for proprietor Jason Seither. This weekday lunch turned into an extravaganza of local crab at its peak of goodness in deep summer. No one does local seafood quite like Seither’s, and the eatery’s creative menu has drawn national attention to its charmingly ramshackle door in an industrial stretch of Harahan. This year, Guy Fieri featured it for the second time on his show “Diners, DriveIns and Dives.” Watch enough of these shows, and you might start to wonder if the featured dishes are created for the camera. But be assured, at Seither’s they are the real deal. In the way that certain desserts bring out in the kid in grown-ups, Jason’s over-the-top creations just elicit smiles and exclamations of excitement when they hit the table. The

Boiled crabs are served with a special spicy cream sauce made in-house at Seither’s Seafood in Harahan.

Seither’s Seafood in Harahan is a casual restaurant for big flavors and a creative way with local seafood. big ﬂavors are the payoff.

What we ate So it was with the plump fried crab claws under a galaxy-swirl of spicy mayo and sweet eel sauce. Next, the “crazy soft shell crab taco salad” arrived and must win the award for the biggest stretch of the term “salad.” A fried soft shell, cut in two with all its crunchy legs and claws angling up, was surrounded by avocado, chunky salsa and a creamy sauce in a fried tortilla shell. There was probably lettuce under there somewhere. The only way to go is to start crackling it apart and mixing flavors. There was more crab: a crabcake topped with lump meat riding shotgun on the plate with a flank of grilled redfish (“the Pontchartrain”), and another fried soft shell, this time with bechamel sauce with more crabmeat. Another wow came with the tra-

ditional tray of boiled crabs, because of the abundance. Seither’s is running its own version of a summer special with a dozen crabs in its house boil (ﬂavorful, though not aggressively spicy) for $25 with sides. And yes, they are packaging quite a few of these boiled crab hampers to go. Don’t skip dessert. The summer special, “Miss Katie’s bomb blueberry bread pudding,” is fried for a crisp-then-chewy, tooth-sticking sweet delight. Seither, a Metairie native, was selling cars back in 2004 when he and his wife, Tara, rolled the dice on their own restaurant and took over what had been a succession of short-lived joints. It has lasted and evolved through Louisiana ﬂavor and with its own personality and gusto. No matter how many TV shows visit to feature the joint, Seither’s is always putting on a show for the locals.

n A Blooming Bash! The Ogden Museum of Southern Art held its Magnolia Ball: Celebrating the Art of the American South in the Camp Street museum’s packed premises. Among the myriad features was the exhibition “Herman Leonard: Images of Jazz” presented by The Helis Foundation. The photo, “Sarah Vaughan — Birdland NYC — 1949,” graced a full page within the gala’s multi-folded invitation. On the cover, a half dozen other photos depicted compelling jazz moments and artists. That R J Raizk, David Harouni thematic thread ran through the ado. The planning artistry behind the ball consisted of five co-chairs, namely Jourdan Barnes, Sophie Germer, Mamta Melwani, and Jessica and Warwick Sabin. Plugged for the partying were cocktails, cuisine, entertainment, live jazz, DJ spins, and a silent auction. “Creative cocktail attire” was the dress code. Particularly thanked were the benefactors and sponsors: Tina Dang and Dr. Hai Nguyen, Denali Art Solutions, Tyson Geary, Goldring Family Foundation/Sazerac, The Helis Foundation, The Times Picayune | Nola.com, and WWNO. Twenty-one restaurants and purveyors reaped gratitude and gustatory satisfaction. Concerning the entertainment, All3n Generation featuring Shamarr Allen, Krewe des Fleurs (and their fabulous frocks), DJ Juane Jordan, a live painting by Jon Osborne, and lots of jazzy music. Always a top attraction, the silent auction showcased works by at least 57 artists (including Jon Osborne), while regional businesses made generous contributions and assistance to the overall enjoyment. In that listing, 61 names were recognized. Now for the committee that helped make the 2026 ball a reality of revelry. The listing started with Sanja Alickovic and finished with Justin I.Woods. In between were the names of Jenny Bagert, Stephanie Baker and Jacob Young,AC Betts and Matt Usdin,Taylor Billings and David Ryan, Carlos Carmona and David Pine,Adrian Cohn, Paola Paoli Corrada, Liza Cowan,Abbi Cox, Tina Dang, Christian Dinh, Lindsay and Peter Falconer, Mirell and Augie Gallo,Tippins Crosby Gandy, Shelley Girgrah, Jasmine Gorowara, Lesli Harris, Jessie Haynes, Dayna Haynie, Nicole Hershey, and Cheney and Henry Holbrook. That’s not all! Further committee cohorts were Rupa Jolly, Shiva and Brett King, Rachel Levy, Sara Lewis and Leo Krasnozhon, Sarah Martzolf, Cameron McHarg, Shannon Moon, Matthew Moreland, Swathi Narra, Dung Nguyen, Emma Pegues, Jennifer Roberts, Nathalie Simon, Rivers Spencer and Guy Feltenstein, Courtney Thomas-Barnes, Claire Thriffiley, Rose Tutera, Sylvia Vellino, Kris Gabik Vitrano, Erica Washington, Jennie C.West and Jason Richards, and Sharonda Williams. Jason Waguespack chairs the Ogden’s board of trustees, and Sharonda Williams, Scott Cunningham, and Matthew Moreland serve as officers. William Pittman Andrews answers to The Helis Foundation Executive Director, Ogden Museum. Gregory Holt is a trustee emeritus, while William “Bill” Goldring, Jessie Haynes, and Charles D. Urstadt hold the “chairperson emeriti” title. The latter, Charles Urstadt, is a theater producer and co-produced Broadway’s “Schmigadoon,” the recent Tony Awards winner for Best Musical. “I could not be prouder of the entire cast and company of this fun, charming, witty musical,” he wrote. As guests moved about the Ogden, they relished all sorts of food preparations and a few choice drinks from the Martini Bar. One was the Darkroom Martini (midnight bean espresso) and another, Mr. Wolf (cold brew espresso), stated “no booze.” The libations were inspired by the Herman Leonard photo exhibition. (It has since closed.) Late-night boogeying occurred in the museum’s ground level, where blue lighting added atmosphere and people danced to the syncopated renderings. Created was another iteration, a live 2026 one, of “Images of Jazz.”

n Ruby Rubrics Excitement was easily generated for the recent Louisiana Bar Foundation gala. It was the 40th anniversary! Traditionally associated with those four decades is the ruby gemstone, which set a chromatic theme for the LBF socializing at the Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans. Harkins, the Florist provided the floral arrangements of red seasonal flowers, and Billy Heroman’s Plantscaping added tropical plants. Chuck Bourque, Colleen Jarrott More attractions were the 58 items in the silent auction, which had as top sellers, and their purchasers, a Rubenstein’s custom suit, Cory Roy; a Four Seasons NOLA Premium twonight stay, Pamela Stewart; and another two-night staycation at the Windsor Court Hotel. Tony Morrow was the lucky bidder. Passed appetizers, such as always-popular fried oysters, preceded the seated dinner that started with a prosciutto and poached pear salad and continued with drum and braised short ribs, and an Ecuadorian dark chocolate mousse with salted caramel. Yum! The Martini Bar featured the desired libation, but also an ice sculpture of the gala’s logo by Albrecht Ice Sculptures. Principal names and faces from the LBF were president Edmund Giering with spouse Cathy, vice president Mike Mestayer with Suzanne, treasurer Chuck Bourque with Julia, secretary Colleen Jarrott, and incoming LBF officer Dave Ernest with wife Donna Moliere. Past president retired Judge John Davidson was joined by Diane. Each year, there are Distinguished Honorees. Hailed, and harking back to 2025, were Distinguished Jurist Judge Dana M. Douglas (with daughter Charli), Distinguished Professor Monica Hof Wallace (with husband Todd), and Distinguished Attorney Michael Patterson (with wife Christine Lipsey). Retired Judge Freddie Pitcher Jr. (with Harriet) received the Calogero Justice Award. India Stewart Designs created the honoree awards as well as the special sponsor pins. All in attendance espoused the work of the foundation to preserve, honor, and improve the justice system. The core mission of LBF “is to advance equal justice under the law by funding programs that provide free legal aid, enhance the legal profession, and increase public understanding of the legal system” throughout the state’s 64 parishes. Among the multitude congratulating the laureates were two justices from the Louisiana Supreme Court in Piper Griffin and John Michael Guidry, and Michelle Woodfork, the current Orleans Parish Sheriff. Reaping their own praise and thanks were LBF Gala co-chairs Jonathan Johnson and Brooke Tigchelaar, who added more shine to the ruby revels and recognitions.

n Centennial Celebration It was a mandate: “Wear Green!” A few other colors slipped in for the event, but the overall look was verdant. The sartorial nod was to Raintree’s 100th Birthday gala at the Hotel Intercontinental. Kate deKay and Joey Walker teamed to chair the landmark levity that had Mark Romig as the emcee and Michelle Aguglia, Shirin Braden, Kelly Husted, Chana Lewis, Tracey Moore, Sarah Powell, Kyla Rogers, Charlotte Sapir,Ashley Scruggs, and Trisha Young as the gala committee for Paint the Town Green. LaShawna Schofield is Raintree’s executive director. The Oscar J. Tolmas Charitable Trust, Eustis Mortgage, and Angel Ashley Scruggs, Lana Duke Wings Foundation were the major sponsors. PHOTOS By KENNy MARTINEZ In May of 1926, Raintree Services was initially chartered as The Protestant Home for Babies. Since then, and Kate and David deKay, Cindy Paulin now as Raintree Children and Family Services, it provides therapeutic foster care, Raintree House for adolescent girls, and family support coordination for infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities. During the 2024-2025 period, Raintree served 248 children through those three programs. A one-hour patron party launched the fundraiser that next embraced three hours of gallivanting. Green balloon bouquets, ﬂoral centerpieces of white (including roses) and green, and huge signage screens caught the collective eye, while an attractive dinner menu fueled the fun. Bid business came in the form of the silent and live auctions. A highlight of the evening was the rush to the dance ﬂoor for the music of Got Groove with many of the female dancers sporting signature “glo” necklaces. Pop and other hits melded musically giving the “green scene” a unique party patina.

Bridge By PHILLIP ALDER Hannah More, an English playwright, moralist and philanthropist who died in 1833, said, “Goals help you overcome short-term problems.” At the bridge table, a deal is a shortterm problem. Your goal is to make or break the contract. However, sometimes there is an ominous problem that can be hard to spot. In today’s deal, how should South play in three no-trump? West leads his fourthhighest heart. East wins with his ace and returns the heart jack, the higher of two remaining cards. The auction was straightforward. South’s one-no-trump rebid showed a balanced hand with 12-14 points. North knew to go for the nine-trick game, not to look for five clubs. Here, careful defense would have defeated five clubs; South would have lost two spades and one heart. Declarer seems to have nine easy winners: one spade, one heart (given the first trick), two diamonds and five clubs. But if South wins the second trick and goes after the clubs, he will, sooner or later, notice a problem. Since East has jack-third, declarer will have to win the fourth round of clubs in the dummy. He will have no way to reach his winning club six. It is difficult to anticipate the potential blockage in the club suit. But once it is spotted, how can South get around it?

The solution is not to win the second heart trick. Then, when East leads his last heart, declarer takes the trick with his king and discards a club from the dummy. Alternatively (but not recommended), South could take the second trick and lead his third heart, throwing a club from the board. © 2026 by nEa, inc., dist. By andrews mcmeel syndication

RECOVERY RIDER Entergy New Orleans, LLC (“ENO” or “Com‐ pany”) made a Filing pur‐ suant to the Resilience & Storm Hardening Cost Recovery Rider (“Rider RSHCR”) Schedule ap‐ proved and adopted by the Council of the City of New Orleans in Council Resolution R-24-625. The True-Up and Prudence Review Report (“Report”) for calendar year 2025 of Phase 1 includes the computation of the TrueUp of the estimated 2025 RSHCR Revenue Require‐ ment, which ENO began recovering in January 2025, to reflect actual 2025 capital additions and a variance report comparing actual 2025 capital additions to esti‐ mated 2025 capital addi‐ tions with explanations of any material vari‐ ances. The proposed Rider RSHRC Attachment B shows a proposed TrueUp of $32,855. The Rider RSHRC would recover this amount from cus‐ tomers over twelve months beginning in Jan‐ uary 2027. Because the amount of the True-Up is small, customers are not likely to observe any bill impact from the True-Up.

The ‘Lane Kiffin Effect’ has brought LSU buzz this offseason. Will it last through the fall? BY JON BLAU | Staff writer There was a hesitance on Lane Kiffin’s part to say the term aloud, because he was keenly aware speaking in the third person doesn’t sound great. But one of the most famous — or, some would say, infamous — coaches in college football has enough self-awareness to grasp the attention he brings to a program. Call it, “The Lane Kiffin Effect.” His name carries some baggage, because Kiffin has already had two acrimonious exits from SEC schools. He was fired midseason by the Raiders and Southern Cal. He rehabbed his coaching reputation at Ole Miss, spring-boarding to LSU, but he inflamed passions by telling Vanity Fair how hard it was to recruit Black athletes to Oxford, Mississippi. Kiffin generates headlines but also high-powered offenses. That’s helped put 46,000 fans on LSU’s season ticket waitlist. That’s helped him secure more five-star recruits in six months at LSU than in his six years at Ole Miss. LSU has a dozen athletes with Nike NIL deals, including a backup quarterback; the most anyone else has is eight. “We’re going to make this thing different than anywhere else to go,” Kiffin said at SEC media days, “when you combine LSU and us.” The Lane Kiffin Effect has resulted in gaudy offseason stats, but there are zero yards to the coach’s name at LSU. Zero touchdowns. Zero wins. Despite everything Kiffin believes his marriage with the Tigers can bring, he’s keenly aware they haven’t done anything to this point. And they must, soon. He’s promised LSU will win a national title at some point in his tenure, but Kiffin, who has projected a more measured persona — quitting alcohol and, more recently, social media — has tried to paint a longer-term vision. “I know everyone wants to talk about Year 1,”

Kiffin said, following LSU’s signing of the No. 1-rated transfer class in the country, “but as you get to Year 2, OK, you’ll be able to develop a deeper roster. … It’s actually a pretty young team.” Kiffin is correct because LSU only has 14 seniors in the fold, including four “true” seniors who have the option to return in 2027 because of the NCAA’s new eligibility rules where athletes have five years to play five seasons. The overwhelming majority of LSU’s roster, 88%, is comprised of 33 juniors, 29 sophomores and 37 freshmen. But there are juniors Kiffin may only have a year with. Left tackle Jordan Seaton, the transfer from Colorado, is possibly a one-and-done player. Tight end Trey’Dez Green, if he lives up to his billing, also could be pro-bound in April. Quarterback Sam Leavitt, the redshirt junior brought over from Arizona State, could wind up staying for two seasons, but if he clicks spectacularly in Kiffin’s system, then he too could be off to the NFL sooner rather than later. Regardless, a significant financial investment was made into this year’s roster, and the expectation is the Tigers, who just struggled to a 7-6 season, will significantly improve and make the College Football Playoff for the first time since their national title run in 2019. “When you hire a coach, that’s part of what you hire. You hire the energy that comes around it,” Kiffin said. “And that’s the business element. And that pays off in fan support, pays off in donations, pays off in recruiting and players wanting to come.” “It’s working,” he added. “Now, obviously, the No. 1 thing to do is to win to maintain that excitement. And with that comes a lot of expectations to perform really well. And I think the expectations are extremely high here, which is OK. I knew that coming in.” There are several problems LSU has to solve to keep the “Lane Train” rolling through 2026. The Tigers were one of the worst rushing

teams in college football last season at 104 yards per game and a paltry 3.8 yards per carry. Kiffin’s schemes have emphasized the run, whether it was Florida Atlantic’s Devin Singletary exploding for 1,920 yards in 2017 or Ole Miss’ Kewan Lacy grinding out 1,567 yards on an NCAA-high 306 carries last fall. Leavitt has to prove he’s healthy following his 2025 foot injury. Camp opened Aug. 5, and Kiffin said he couldn’t tell Leavitt was injured a season ago. Meanwhile, Kiffin has entrusted one of college football’s rising stars, Charlie Weis Jr., with his offense so he can be more of a “CEO” head coach. Same with the defense, led by retained coordinator Blake Baker, who was considered for head jobs at Tulane and Memphis. Baker had a top-25 unit in 2025, surrendering 19.8 points per game, but LSU needs to get more pressure from its front four with Ole Miss transfer Princewill Umanmielen, Tennessee transfer Jordan Ross, and freshman defensive linemen Deuce Geralds and Lamar Brown now in the rotation. “l’ll have (purview) of who we play and maybe overall philosophy,” Kiffin said of the offense, but he has no inten-

tions of meddling on Baker’s side. Kiffin, who has yet to win a league or national title at a power conference school, hopes he’s put the right pieces in place and everything falls LSU’s way. He’s referenced the numerous “variables” that separate good seasons from bad, perhaps a word of caution that the highest of expectations could prove unattainable. LSU’s path to a CFP goes through ranked Clemson in Week 1, heading into a nine-game conference slate that peaks early with Kiffin’s return to, potentially, a top-10 Ole Miss squad in Week 3. Games against Texas A&M, Alabama, Texas, and Tennessee follow. It’s a gauntlet, and the headlines of the offseason will soon be washed away by instant reactions to thrilling wins or depressing losses. “I know that as good as we are right now, this is just the beginning,” Kiffin said. “The season after, we’ll have a better roster. Because if you think about it, we just have more time. I’m not asking for it.” Nor would would time necessarily be offered. He understands that. This season might determine whether the Lane Kiffin Effect remains in full force.

LSU offense enters Year 1 under Lane Kiffin with a significant rebuild BY KOKI RILEY | Staff writer

In two years, the drop-off was stark. LSU’s offense had gone from being arguably the best in the sport, and showcasing another Heisman winner at quarterback, to this: having one of the worst attacks in the Southeastern Conference in 2025. En route to a miserable 7-6 campaign that ultimately led to head coach Brian Kelly losing his job eight games into the season, the Tigers ﬁnished last in the SEC in rushing yards and points per game. They failed to score more than 25 points against an FBS opponent until the Texas Bowl, and only Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina ﬁnished last year with a less efficient offense in the

conference, according to ESPN’s College Football Power Index. Garrett Nussmeier’s mysterious injury, a leaky offensive line and questionable play calling had led LSU to this point. There was no choice but to blow it all up and start over. “If things aren’t working, you need to change,” said Lane Kiffin, Kelly’s replacement, to the Baton Rouge Rotary Club on July 29. “You don’t just take the same pieces and sprinkle magic dust on it.” So that’s what Kiffin and his offensive staff, most of whom followed him to LSU from Ole Miss, did over the offseason. The Tigers only brought back 10 scholarship players from last year’s offense, including just one wide receiv-

er and no quarterbacks. Unlike on defense, where Blake Baker and the majority of last year’s defensive staff return, no offensive coach from a season ago is back with the program in 2026. The staff changes on offense will be most felt with the new-look scheme Kiffin plans to implement. Kiffin and offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., who followed Kiffin from Ole Miss, constructed an attack that nearly got the Rebels to the national championship game last year despite starting a quarterback — Trinidad Chambliss — who played in Division II the season prior. Ole Miss had a solid defense, but it was led by Kiffin and Weis’ offensive

system. It had the eighth-most efficient offense in the nation last year, according to ESPN, and the attack averaged 36.9 points per game. Over the past four seasons, since Weis took over as Kiffin’s offensive coordinator, Ole Miss has averaged no fewer than 33 points per game and had no worse than the ﬁfth-most efficient offense in the SEC, per ESPN’s College Football Power Index rankings. The Rebels had the SEC’s top offense in 2024 and the No. 2 attack last year. “Charlie does a great job,” Kiffin said during spring practices. “… Our dynamics have totally changed over time in who’s calling the plays. Now he calls

Tackle Back Pain & Sciatica Without Surgery, Injections, or Pills

Whether you’re cheering in the stands, tailgate-bound, or just trying to get through the game without crippling pain – LeBlanc Spine Center can get you back in the action.

THE PROBLEM Living with chronic back pain, neck stiffness, or severe sciatica isn’t just frustrating-it benches you from life. You can’t sit comfortably for four quarters, stand long enough to grill, or get a restful night’s sleep. You feel great mentally, but your spine is holding you back. Most people don’t realize that injured or degenerated spinal discs are the root cause. When cushions between your vertebrae bulge or herniate, they crush nerve roots-sending pain, numbness, and tingling down your legs or arms.

THE NON-SURGICAL SOLUTION There is a better game plan. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is an FDA-cleared, breakthrough treatment designed to gently relieve nerve pressure, restore disc height, and promote natural healing-without surgery, scars, or downtime. At LeBlanc Spine Center, Dr. Scott LeBlanc and Dr. Dana LeBlanc have spent over 14 years helping thousands of local patients eliminate severe pain and reclaim their active lives. With 10 advanced decompression units across our Baton Rouge and Kenner locations, we deliver real, long-lasting results.

SEE WHAT SOME OF OUR PATIENTS HAVE TO SAY … I had been suffering with pain from herniated discs in my lower back. I could not stand for longer than 5 minutes without pain. I had tried epidural steroid injections and physical therapy in the past, but was still suffering. I have always been active and my back pain was affecting my lifestyle greatly. I came to LeBlanc Spine Center and began Decompression treatment.....and I am now 100% improved! I can do everything I did before my pain started, and my favorite part about this treatment is the results! I can do all of my daily activities without any pain. The doctors and staff here have also treated me great. I have recommended LeBlanc Spine Center to many people.....and will continue to do so!

Dr. Scott LeBlanc, D.C. Dr. Dana LeBlanc, D.C.

Mark Evans

(Former High School Coach and Insurance Agent) I came to LeBlanc Spine Center because I been suffering with lower back and hip pain, difficulty sitting, and restricted mobility. I had tried other doctors in the past, medication, physical therapy and massage- all to no avail. I began Spinal Decompression treatments, and I am now 90% improved! What I like most about my care at LeBlanc Spine Center is my improvement in pain. I can now bend and lift without pain, and I even have fewer headaches. The staff is very friendly and calls everyone by name. I would absolutely recommend LeBlanc Spine Center. The doctors actually SHOW you what the problems are on the x-rays, and they track your progress. You will get results but this is not a quick fix. You have to commit to the time and effort to come to treatment. Compared to surgery, this a WIN for the patient!

Paula Laird

(CPA) Hometown - Baton Rouge, LA I first came to LeBlanc Spine Center with numbness in my arms and legs. I was also experiencing lower back pain and neck pain. I had been suffering with this for over 10 years. I had previously tried one epidural injection in my lower back and physical therapy, an I was still suffering with these symptoms. Since beginning Spinal Decompression treatments, I have had consistent improvement in my back condition, and I am now 70% improved! I am lifting without pain, sleeping better, and I now have the ability to walk without tiring! I would highly recommend Dr. LeBlanc and LeBlanc Spine Center!

// 2026 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW // them, (and) he runs the meetings. He’s in charge of it, and that was a good progression over time to get to that.” Kiffin and Weis will try to maintain that level of consistency at LSU with a new quarterback who owns a lengthy track record of success. Arizona State transfer Sam Leavitt threw for over 4,500 yards, scored 44 total touchdowns and ran for over 800 yards in a season and a half with the Sun Devils, leading the program to a Big 12 championship and a spot in the College Football Playoff in 2024. A foot injury cost Leavitt half of last season and most of this spring, but the highly regarded transfer is a full go to practice this preseason, according to Kiffin. “Sam’s doing great,” Kiffin said to the Rotary Club. “He’s coming back from a foot injury. He’s (at) full strength. Now, it’s just about getting the timing down with everybody.” Two more new faces will back up Leavitt, as Kiffin added Southern Cal transfer and former five-star recruit Husan Longstreet and grabbed Elon transfer Landen Clark out of the portal. Both gunslingers lack experience at the highest level, but they’re skilled enough to thrive in Kiffin’s system, thanks to their mobility and arm talent. Protecting Leavitt will be an offensive line that added 10 transfers, including star left tackle and Colorado transfer Jordan Seaton — by all accounts the top offensive lineman in the portal — and Maryland transfer Aliou Bah, who was a two-year starter with the Terrapins. Seaton and Bah project as plug-andplay starters next to center Braelin Moore and right tackle Weston Davis, who both return after starting for the Tigers in 2025. Moore had a solid season, but Davis struggled in his first year as a regular. The hope for Kiffin and new offensive line coach Eric Wolford is that they can tap into Davis’ immense potential this fall. At left guard, fifth-year senior Bo Bordelon spent most of the spring as the first-team option despite playing sparingly in four years under Kelly. Ole Miss transfer Devin Harper is a strong candidate to slide in at the position if Bordelon loses his spot. “That, offensively, is the posi-

tion that has probably developed the best through a couple weeks and has played well together,” Kiffin said during the spring. “And, in my opinion, has dramatically improved from when we got here.” Phillip Wright was the lone wide receiver who is back for a second season in Baton Rouge, despite registering just one catch last year as a freshman. Kiffin signed three freshmen and added nine players from the portal to fill out the rest of the room. Kansas State transfer Jayce Brown, Ole Miss transfer Winston Watkins and Florida transfer Eugene Wilson were the three biggest names LSU added out of the portal, while Troy transfer Roman Mothershed and Hawaii transfer Jackson Harris were standout performers in the spring. For as deep as LSU’s wide receiver room is, Leavitt’s top target might actually be at tight end. Trey’Dez Green, who had 433 receiving yards and seven touchdowns a year ago, flashed his limitless potential last year and was a priority for Kiffin to retain this offseason. Green and Pittsburgh transfer Malachi Thomas will earn the majority of snaps at tight end. Oregon transfer Zach Grace could also help out the Tigers as a blocker in the run game, especially in short-yardage situations. Speaking of the rushing attack, LSU’s ground game has struggled since Daniels departed for the NFL. Expect Kiffin, Weis and company to flip the script on that narrative this season, as Ole Miss had one of the best run games in the SEC during their time in Oxford. “That’s really high on our list,” Kiffin said. “A very big challenge to get that fixed. And that takes a lot of things. It’s a system thing, it’s a personnel thing.” After an unsuccessful attempt to lure Ole Miss star running back Kewan Lacy to Baton Rouge, LSU brought back Caden Durham and Harlem Berry, its two lead ball carriers last season. But the rest of the room is made up of new faces. Wisconsin transfer Dilin Jones leads the bunch after an impressive spring. “He’s been really good,” Kiffin said of Jones during the spring. “He’s come in and been good at protection, been good with his vision, his feet, running the ball. He’s really been a bright spot.”

Blake Baker stayed put, and now LSU’s defense can try to take another step forward BY REED DARCEY | Staff writer LSU could’ve lost its defensive coordinator last December. Blake Baker really thought about leaving – to the point at which he invited Tulane and Memphis administrators to his house so they could discuss their head coaching vacancies with him. So, why did Baker stay in Baton Rouge? Because he thought he could still accomplish more in a third season with the Tigers, and that if he did, then he could soon become a candidate for some higher level jobs than the two enticing, yet challenging Group-of-6 gigs that arrived at his doorstep as LSU was introducing coach Lane Kiffin. “It was really critical to keep him,” Kiffin said in March. Now, the Tigers can keep building on the success they’ve had on defense in Baker’s first two years as coordinator. It’s easy to forget that Baker inherited a mess. The defense that LSU fielded in 2023 was one of the worst units in program history, a group made more infamous by the fact that it hamstrung one of the best offenses in program history – the record-setting unit led by Heisman-winning quarterback Jayden Daniels. That year, the Tigers finished 108th among FBS teams in total defense and 81st in scoring defense. Then Baker took over, and LSU moved up to 61st in total defense in 2024 before finishing the 2025 season ranked 27th.

Now – with Baker, the bulk of his staff and several starters back for a third year – there’s reason to believe the unit can take yet another step forward in 2026. Kiffin hopes that LSU has enough talent to “go to another level” and field the kind of tough, physical defense that “creates a lot of havoc” but plays “with great discipline.” “That’s been here before a number of times,” Kiffin said, “and so that’s a big, big goal – to get that back to that style of play that nobody wants to play LSU’s defense...like it used to be.” Most of LSU’s starters are set. Whit Weeks and Ole Miss transfer TJ Dottery are the two linebackers. DJ Pickett and PJ Woodland are the two outside cornerbacks. Boise State transfer Ty Benefield and Tamarcus Cooley will man the safety spots, while Dashawn Spears will fill the Star position – the hybrid safety-linebacker role that Harold Perkins played last season. The defensive front is comprised almost entirely of newcomers. Ole Miss transfer Princewill Umanmielen, a senior, is the top edge rusher. Tennessee transfer Jordan Ross and five-star freshman Lamar Brown will line up on the opposite edge, while a mix of Auburn transfer Malik Blocton, freshman Deuce Geralds, Clemson transfer Stephiylan Green and junior Dominick McKinley will occupy the middle. There’s NFL-level talent at all three levels of the defense. Kiffin thinks highly enough of Bene-

ﬁeld to say on Tyrann Mathieu’s podcast in June that Beneﬁeld can be “one of those legends” to play at LSU. Pickett, a 6-foot-5 sophomore, was one of the most highly rated recruits in his class, and now he’ll have a chance to prove that he has can use his physical tools to develop into a true shutdown corner. Weeks, if healthy, can be one of the most productive defenders in the SEC. Dottery was the league’s leading tackler last season. And then there’s the pass rush, which got a major upgrade in Umanmielen. In 2025, he chipped in almost twice as many sacks (nine) as LSU’s

top three edge rushers combined (five). His presence should give the Tigers a more productive four-man rush, which should allow Baker to be more selective with his blitzes, which should limit the numbers of times the Tigers find themselves exposed on the back end of the defense. Explosive plays are still a vulnerability. Only five SEC teams gave up more gains of at least 20 yards than LSU did last season (50). The Tigers could also do a better job of turning pressure into sacks and creating more negative plays in the run game.

// 2026 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW // But LSU ﬁgured out how to create a nice amount of havoc anyway. Only two SEC defenses created more turnovers than the Tigers did last season (21), which was a large reason why Kiffin decided to sit down with Baker and sell him on the chance to stay in his role through the coaching change. “I had a bunch of questions that he did a great job answering,” Baker told The Advocate last December, “and that made me feel at ease because at the end of the day, it’s an unknown either way. Unknown staying here with a new head coach, but also an unknown going to be a head coach for the ﬁrst time. So, I wanted to get as much clarity on this end as I possibly could.” And once he did, Baker signed a new three-year, $9.3 million contract that cemented his status as one of the highest-paid assistant coaches in the country. He can earn that new deal, in part by helping Kiffin slow down the elite quarterbacks LSU will face this season, such as Ole Miss’ Trinidad

Chambliss (Sept. 19), Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed (Sept. 26) and Texas’ Arch Manning (Nov. 14). The Tigers also have road games against Kentucky (Oct. 10), Auburn (Oct. 24) and Tennessee (Nov. 21) – a trio of teams that have unproven quarterbacks but sharp offensive systems. It’s the dual-threat passers who usually threaten Baker’s defense, and LSU will once again have to bottle up some of the nation’s best if it wants to reach the College Football Playoff for the ﬁrst time since 2019. Kiffin made his choice. Then Baker made his. Now it’s time to see if the Tigers can reap the beneﬁts of continuity on the defensive side of the ball – and if Baker’s decision to hold out for a more premier head coaching job winds up paying off. “I’ve enjoyed our interactions,” Kiffin said. “I’ve enjoyed the competitiveness of Blake, and I think it’s gonna be a great combination.”

Expectations for the Lane Kiﬃn era at LSU are great, but so are his BY SCOTT RABALAIS Sports columnist

It’s time to find out. Time to find out what this Lane Kiffin chapter — this era, this experiment, this age of the visor — will be like. Aside from Jayden Daniels’ Heisman Trophy run in 2023, LSU football has stumbled its way through six mostly unremarkable seasons since Joe Burrow also won the Heisman and led LSU to the 2019 national championship. Years spent in a college football wilderness wandering almost as much as winning, with the Tigers going a tepid 47-29 overall and 28-22 in the Southeastern Conference. Now, in 2026, a giant page is turned. LSU has gone to great, expensive lengths to remake its image, spending a fortune no one really thought it had. All to reclaim a place as one of the nation’s premier college football brands, befitting of one of just two programs this century to win three or more national titles. LSU shelled out the equivalent of a small Caribbean island nation’s GDP to buy out Brian Kelly and bring in Kiffin, a total of $145 million, in fact ($54 million for Kelly’s buyout, $91 million for Kiffin’s contract). That’s on top of upwards of $40 million to build this year’s roster – according to Kelly, it must be said, not Kiffin. On top of that, LSU is prepared to park its athletic broadcast rights in a new, revenue-generating enterprise, bumping up against the threshold of what is considered “private equity.” If you want to be a major player, what they call a “whale” in Las Vegas, you have to bring a big bankroll to the table. LSU has staked it all, everything, on Kiffin. A brilliant offensive mind, an apparent introvert whose preferred canvas is the football playbook and, until quite recently, social media. A man carrying the scars of so many failed and truncated head-coaching tenures but who most recently got it right at FAU

STAFF PHOTO BY PEARL SPURLOCK LSU coach Lane Kiﬃn addresses the media after the Tigers’ ﬁrst day of preseason practice on Aug. 5 at the LSU football complex.

and really got it right at Ole Miss, setting the Rebels on a path that carried them closer to a national championship than they’d been in six decades. Kiffin left Ole Miss after an 11-1 regular season — his second 11-win season in Oxford, something the Rebels had never managed before — on the cusp of the College Football Playoff, a run that would reach all the way to the national semifinals under new coach Pete Golding. Kiffin was vilified for his move, and LSU was pilloried for plundering an ancient and now profoundly bitter SEC rival in its ascendant moment. LSU’s response: All’s fair in love and football. Especially for a school that loves football above all else. “It was best for LSU” to hire Kiffin, athletic director Verge Ausberry said. Not the end of the story, but certainly the end of LSU explaining itself, like it or not. Everyone who lobbed barrages of venom at the new coach and his new school conveniently overlooked the fact that Ole Miss would have fired Kiffin if he didn’t win long before his six years there were up.

That’s frankly old business now. Kifﬁn was THE coach LSU wanted and somehow got despite all the upheaval during the search: the governor’s meddling, the attempt to ﬁre Kelly for cause and the brief declarations of then new LSU president Wade Rousse that Ausberry may or may not be the athletic director going forward. Through that swamp of potential sinkholes, LSU kept aiming at its north star in this search. Remarkably, Kiffin took the job, in part because Nick Saban — who became to LSU fans at Alabama what Kiffin now is to fans at Ole Miss — told his old offensive coordinator that when the smoke clears, this is one of the best jobs in America. By some metrics, maybe the best. Kiffin has made the phrase “It’s just different” at LSU his mantra since arriving in Baton Rouge. It may be approaching the realm of sports clichés at this point, but he isn’t wrong. How different LSU football may be is subject to debate, but it certainly is … rare. There are just 14 Power Four conference schools across America that

are the only P4 schools in their home states. And none of the others can match Louisiana’s standing as producing the second-most NFL players per capita of any state. That, a rabid fan base, a financial valuation of its program just north of $1 billion and a legendary 102,000-seat stadium is a combination that is, indeed, just different. If Kiffin was looking for something different from LSU, the same thing in reverse applies: making the Tigers a consistent year-over-year winner. Know how many times LSU has finished in the final Associated Press top 10 three straight years since 1936? Once, from 2005-07 under Les Miles. Georgia, which until recently has had a fairly comparable football history to LSU’s, has finished in the AP top 10 nine straight seasons. In fact, LSU has finished out of the final AP top 25 more often since 2008 (six times) than it has finished in the top 10 (four). Maybe making LSU a perennial top10 program is reaching for a too distant shore for Kiffin — but it certainly should be the goal. Though Kiffin has spoken often about the challenging parameters to building this year’s roster, perhaps pumping the brakes on pot-boiling anticipation for this season, he hasn’t shied away from long-term expectations. Kiffin said he expects LSU’s 2027 roster to be better, and recently said on a podcast with former Tigers great Tyrann Mathieu that he believes he will lead LSU to a national championship during his time here. Perhaps that’s easy for Kiffin to say now, but over the long haul he knows he will be expected to do what three of LSU’s past four coaches — Saban, Miles and recently returned special assistant Ed Orgeron — did when they coached the Tigers: get to the top. Kiffin is the man LSU wanted most to lead its program. Can he deliver what LSU wants most: to make what may be the best job in the country the best on the field? It’s time to find out.

Tu ulane using do oubters as motivation for ﬁfth h consecutive cha ampionship gamee appearance

BY GUERRY SMITH Contributing writer

As the Tulane football team began preseason practice, the door to the offensive line meeting room was covered with bulletin-board material from three different magazines. One listed the line’s No. 113 ranking out of 138 FBS teams, according to Phil Steele. Another noted Athlon’s tabbing the unit eighth-best out of 14 in the American Conference. The third was a passage asserting the blockers would be nowhere as good as the excellent pass protectors from the 2025 league champion. The outside doubts extend far past the O-line. Negative press is fueling the Green Wave’s fire as it looks to extend its American Conference-record four consecutive title-game appearances to five and also become the first team to win three championships in five years.

Despite its dominant 31-5 league mark during that span and the return of more experienced players than just about anyone in the league, almost no one is picking Tulane to win the American under new coach Will Hall. One preseason media poll tabbed the Wave fourth. Another dropped it all the way to seventh. This after Tulane placed no worse than second from 2022 to 2025 — tying for the best record twice while taking the outright regular-season title once. Observing his team’s progress from the end of spring drills to the start of preseason practice, Hall grew even more conﬁdent the Wave could maintain the level it exhibited in the ﬁnal two years of Willie Fritz’s tenure and the following two seasons with Jon Sumrall. He coached under both of them and believes he knows what it takes. “This group works,” he said. “I’ve really enjoyed their summer. They have put

the time in. Our leadership’s been awesome. We are a player-led team. They feel like they have something to prove, and that’s why they work so hard to keep Tulane at the standard that it is.” Safety Jack Tchienchou, who cracked the Bronko Nagurski Trophy preseason watch list for the nation’s best defensive player, expects more of the same. “Not much has changed,” he said. “There’s going to be no drop-off. We’re all buying in. The best is yet to come.” Tchienchou is one of several key defenders who stuck around because of continuity in the transition to Hall from Sumrall. Speciﬁcally, former linebackers coach Tayler Polk’s promotion to defensive coordinator convinced linebackers Dickson Agu, Chris Rodgers and Makai Williams (156 combined tackles in 2025) to remain in the fold. Six of Tulane’s top 10 tacklers returned — a much higher number than for most of the rest of the American.

“If he (Polk) wasn’t here, a lot of us probably wouldn’t have stayed,” said Agu, who led the team in tackles before tearing a patellar tendon in the conference opener at Tulsa. “He brings energy every day. He’s one of the most consistent people I’ve met since I’ve been here. That really helped build the foundation we have on defense right now.” Hall sees even a perceived weakness as a strength. Although none of the four quarterbacks competing for the job started a college game last year, leading candidates Zeon Chriss-Gremillion (UL and Houston) and Kadin Semonza (Ball State) have combined for 29 career starts. That number puts the Wave in pretty good company as it enters its fourth consecutive year with a different starter. Navy’s Braxton Woodson, the quarterback for the consensus American favorite, has started three times over three years.

Marcus Stokes, the projected starter for perennial contender Memphis, is a transfer from Division II West Florida. Michael Van Buren, the frontrunner at NIL darling South Florida, started eight times at Mississippi State in 2024 and four times at LSU last season, going 3-9 in those opportunities. Hall praised his group, which includes athletic walk-on John Curtis product Dagan Bruno and freshman dart-thrower Trace Johnson. “They can play,” Hall said. “They do everything we ask them to do. You’ve got two guys in the room that are extremely experienced. They are leaders. The big thing for us is to continue to improve.” The other skill positions appear strong. The Wave boasts abundant speed and talent at running back, with Jamauri McClure (490 yards in the last ﬁve games of 2025), Maurice Turner and Florida State transfer Jaylin Lucas all ﬁguring heavily in Hall’s plans.

The wide receivers are considerably more experienced than at this time a year ago. Anthony Brown-Stephens (41 catches) and Zycarl Lewis (24 catches) improved as the season went along and got better again in spring practice, leading a host of candidates that includes Brother Martin alum Garrett Mmahat, LSU transfer Destyn Hill and Edna Karr product Oliver Mitchell. The Wave goes six deep in scholarship tight ends, with converted quarterback Ty Thompson, Duke transfer Vance Bolyard and sophomore Gabe Lovorn looking to make an impact. Although Tulane is young on both lines, there are enough upperclassmen on the defensive front to help a talented group of second-year players come along. Seniors Gerrod Henderson, Ed Smith and Derrick Shepard complement redshirt freshmen Warren Roberts and Reshad Sterling among others. “Our defensive linemen are going to

surprise a lot of people,” Rodgers said. “They can rush the quarterback.’ The offensive line embodies the disparity in perception of this team inside and outside the program. While critics see a bunch of unproven players and no returning starter at the same position, those close to the team rave about individual improvement in the weight room and in quickness. “Other people just don’t know what we have,” said senior center John Bock, a Florida International transfer who locked down the starting job at right guard last year in preseason camp be-

fore tearing the plantar fascia in his left foot during the ﬁnal scrimmage. “At FIU my last year we were top 20 in the nation for least sacks allowed. This group is two times better.

All of them had lots of options in December. They didn’t just fall into Tulane. We like this team.”

Cajuns determined to be Sun Belt contenders again, despite younger roster BY KEVIN FOOTE | Staff writer As UL coach Michael Desormeaux prepares his team for the 2026 season, he’s still feeling the scars from last season’s weekly struggle. His Ragin’ Cajuns got off to a 1-3 start and trailed Marshall 34-17 midway through the third quarter at home in the fifth game. The offense that focused on a big-play passing game in August camp appeared wasted when starting quarterback Walker Howard was injured in the season opener. Lunch Winfield, Howard’s replacement, delivered a comeback for the ages in the final quarter and a half against Marshall with six scoring drives in a 5451 double-overtime win to help give UL the spark it needed to rebound and qualify for an eighth straight bowl. Needless to say, Desormeaux is hoping for fewer obstacles this fall. “We started slow last year and certainly didn’t play the way we wanted to early,” Desormeaux said. “We’ve got to get off to a fast start this year. “We’ve got to find a way to muster up that urgency we had in the last half of the season and take that from start to finish.” That’s the idea anyway, for two main reasons.

One, it makes things much easier. Secondly, this is a younger team that might not be able to overcome as many huge obstacles to success. “Last year was not easy, but that’s kind of what has me excited about this year,” he said. “We’re younger, but we were able to keep the team intact. All those guys know what it felt like – the urgency that it took to get it where we wanted it.” This time around, the offensive staff will begin the process preparing for a running quarterback in Winﬁeld. “I’ve gotten way more comfortable with most of my teammates and timing and everything,” Winﬁeld said. “It’s just like normal now. Everything is way easier now.” Howard’s injury was followed by an incredible rash of injuries to the offensive line, forcing 11 different starting lineups for the offense. Senior right tackle George Jackson was part of that long list of injuries, but he’s back. “Last year was hard,” Jackson said. “It was hard watching. Injuries are going to happen. We’re all working very hard on doing what we can to prevent them. “I’m feeling 100% and ready to go.” With the injuries came more players getting more experience. Matt Broussard emerged as the new right guard to

go along with left guard Kaden Moreau and center Cooper Fordham. Zay Alexander was injured last season as well and is expected to start at left tackle. With running backs Zylan Perry and Bill Davis lost in the portal, the backfield is expected to feature three underclassmen in Steven Blanco, Darrell Smith and JJ Garner. “I feel really good about our backs,” Desormeaux said. “They’re young, but they have a lot of talent. I think they’re ready.” Another major factor in last year’s slow start was an undisclosed injury to top receiver target Shelton Sampson. Those early doubts, though, were overshadowed by Sampson’s strong finish. Former St. Thomas More product Landon Strother has also made a big step forward. “I feel really good about those two, and I think we’ve got a lot of playmakers among the other guys in that room,” said Desormeaux, referring to Trenton Chaney, Russell Babineaux and Rahji Dennis. “All of those guys want the ball to show what they can do with it,” Winfield said. The biggest question mark on offense may be depth at tight end behind Caden Jensen and Brock Chappell.

“I can’t tell you right now who it’s going to be behind those two guys,” Desormeaux said. “I challenged those guys going into the summer and fall camp to ﬁgure out who the third guy is going to be. If no one does, it’ll limit our ability to play ‘12’ personnel, and I certainly don’t want that to happen.” There were some awfully big losses on the defensive front wall last season in Jordan Lawson, Kadarius Miller and Jaelen Crider, but that unit should anchor the defense again. “I really like what I’ve seen from that group,” Desormeaux said of the defensive line. “The offensive and defensive lines are the groups I feel like have the most playing experience.” What the defense may lack is a true leader. Redshirt senior Fitzgerald West has shown signs throughout the offseason to ﬁll those shoes. “Yes, I think Fitz is the leader in that group for sure,” Desormeaux said. “Fitz is set for a really big year. He’s got such a high motor. He’s one of the guys that affects everyone around him.” But the staff is also excited about the potential breakout season of 6-foot-7, 295-pound redshirt junior Chase Edwards. “I think Chase is the one who is about to have a different type of season this

// 2026 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW //

year,” Desormeaux said. “At times, he’s really good.” The redshirt sophomore duo of Priest Ashe and Ashton Wright also appear primed to elevate their games, like redshirt senior Maxie Baudoin did last season. Tarleton State transfer Brodrick Stewart (6-1, 305) should also help plug the middle. “The list goes going on and on,” Desormeaux said. “They’re all going to grow and have continued to improve year after year after year. Day after day, year after year, you can see that they’re ready for that moment.” Working closely with that group will be talented edge rushers in redshirt junior Ashley Williams and portal newcomer Tito Chikere. The depth there looks promising as well with redshirt junior Lester Jones and redshirt freshman AJ Spencer. “I believe in our ability to evaluate and to develop,” Desormeaux said. For the third straight season, UL’s

linebacker crew is looking for a new leader as well. Jaden Dugger was drafted in the ﬁfth round by the San Francisco 49ers after a huge season. The new chief is redshirt senior Jake St. Andre, who has plenty of talent around him in redshirt sophomore Conor McPherson, redshirt senior Kailep Edwards and redshirt junior Micah Johnson. There’s two things to focus on when it comes to the critical cornerback position for the Cajuns. One, can Brent Gordon avoid a bit of a sophomore slump after such a fantastic freshman season? Desormeaux is convinced Gordon won’t fall into that trap. “I think it’s the maturity that he’s got,” he said. “It’s just the way that he’s wired. When he didn’t start right away, he told me, “I don’t like not playing,’ and he played that way. “By the time he got his opportunity, he didn’t give it up.” Two, somebody else has to step up.

The most likely candidates are redshirt sophomore Avery Demery and redshirt junior Jeremiah Moses. “I think Avery had a great summer ... a great summer, and really the same for Jeremiah,” Desormeaux said. Elsewhere in the secondary, the Cajuns found out how important redshirt senior Maurion Eleam was last season at the star position. When he went down, the drop-off in the overall unit was readily apparent. This year, UL will be quick to move Gordon to the star spot, or potentially

redshirt freshman Jayden Gloston. In the back of the secondary, there are four safeties with some experience in redshirt junior Kody Jackson, redshirt sophomore Lake Bates, redshirt freshman Steven Ranel and redshirt senior Collin Jacob. None of them have the ﬁeld time of a Tyree Skipper a year ago, but none of them will be ﬁrst-timers. “I think our safety room is in pretty good shape,” Desormeaux said. “Steven’s still young, but all four guys have at least played a little bit.”

Year 1 for Marshall Faulk has arrived. Here’s what you need to know about Southern football.

STAFF PHOTO BY MICHAEL JOHNSON Southern coach Marshall Faulk addresses the media before practice at the Southern practice ﬁelds Aug. 1.

BY TOYLOY BROWN III Staﬀ writer Within the conﬁnes of Southern’s football facility are determined players and coaches. Returners and newcomers alike want a redemptive season that erases the stench of last year’s 2-10 record

and 1-7 ﬁnish in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. Outside the building, excitement is driven by the hiring of Marshall Faulk, the rookie head coach and Pro Football Hall of Famer tasked with ushering in the Jaguars’ next era. Alongside diehard fans’ optimism and Southern’s newfound spotlight

is skepticism. Neutral observers are curious to see how Faulk’s first crack at leading a program will unfold in the sports-crazed HBCU world. That intrigue is part of why Southern’s season opener against Alabama State will air on ESPNU at 2 p.m. Aug. 29 at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama. Voters in the SWAC preseason poll picked Southern to finish fifth out of six teams in the West division. Preseason projections don’t concern Faulk, a Super Bowl XXXIV champion. His focus is preparing a team that expects to win every time it steps on the field. “There’s no fear in me,” Faulk said. “Winners win. And if you’re a winner, then you win. At every level, somehow, some way, I found a way to find the win, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

The SWAC meets the Go-Go offense Some doubts about Faulk’s first season are rooted in the unpredictable nature of NFL players transitioning to coaching for the first time at the HBCU level. Last year, Michael Vick’s Norfolk State team went 1-11, while DeSean Jackson led Delaware State to an 8-4 season. There’s mystery in how Southern will look as it runs a unique system: the Go-Go offense. It gets murkier, as the conductor of the offense could be a quarterback who joined the team two months ago. Offensive coordinator Ken Merchant didn’t reveal much during preseason camp, but the system is traditionally run-heavy, featuring two tailbacks aligned side by side. “Our identity is going to be in running the football,” Faulk said. “That’s the brand of football I want to play. But I’m smart enough to know I can’t dictate how we win games. I’m not going to run the football if they’re giving us an opportunity to throw it. That’s just not smart football.” The quarterback who will unleash that offense won’t be fully known until Southern’s first offensive play of the regular season. Southern narrowed its likely starter to junior Christian Johnson, a Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College transfer; returning senior Ashton Strother; or Wyatt McCauley, a sophomore transfer from Long Beach City (Calif.) College. Johnson is the favorite based on his early-June arrival and praise by the

// 2026 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW // coaching staff. “He’s won at every level he’s played at,” Faulk said. “He just wants to win. I literally asked him, ‘Look man, we got fourth-and-2, I’m calling quarterback power.’ And he said, ‘Coach, I’m putting my head down, and I’m getting it.’ I like that mentality from a quarterback.” Last season, Johnson completed 156 of 258 passes (60.5%) for 2,120 yards, 22 touchdowns and five interceptions while leading Hutchinson to an 11-1 record. The 6-foot, 206-pound junior also rushed 140 times for 586 yards and seven touchdowns. As a freshman, he shared quarterback duties during the Blue Dragons’ 2024 national title run. Running back Trey Holly, who began his career at LSU, is expected to be Southern’s best offensive player. Faulk placed added leadership responsibility on the 5-7, 192-pound redshirt junior, a preseason All-SWAC second-team selection who finished fourth in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns last season. The Go-Go offense should distribute carries among multiple tailbacks, mirroring Merchant’s success at Sacramento State. That team ranked second in the Big Sky in rushing with 3,151 yards and produced three of the league’s top 15 rushers. None of that is possible without a steady offensive line. Southern could see as many as four transfers starting. The staff may not have enough time in camp to refine the connectivity the group needs, but it could compensate with impressive individual talents. Riverside (Calif.) Community College transfer Trinidad Wilson — a 6-5, 350-pound sophomore — picked Southern over Oregon State. The Jaguars also added the 6-3, 310-pound Zuri Madison, who played at Arkansas State last season after beginning his career at Arkansas. The wide receiver room no longer has its top target, Darren Morris, who transferred to Boise State. Returning redshirt junior wideout Cam Jefferson could be due for a breakout season after having 19 receptions for 276 yards and two touchdowns in 2025. Southern might also showcase the only 6-9 pass catcher in HBCU football in Emeka Iloh, a redshirt junior transfer from Mississippi State. On special teams, Southern likely will

turn to freshman kicker Christopher McKenna, ranked No. 42 nationally in the 2025 high school class by Kohl’s. New defensive identity Ckelby Givens, Southern’s defensive centerpiece of the last three years, is gone. Southern is unlikely to have an edge rusher who could lead the SWAC in tackles for loss and sacks as Givens did. Defensive coordinator Todd Lyght is expected to use a 4-3-4 base defense.

The former NFL defensive back and Notre Dame assistant has emphasized building a unit that can adjust mid-game. “As coach Lyght said, we’re going to be tough, we’re going to be smart, we’re going to be disciplined, we’re going to be multiple,” Faulk said. “We’re not just going to defend. We’re going to attack.” What Southern may lack in top-end star power, it hopes to replace with depth from transfers and returners. “We got beat last year because we didn’t have enough depth,” Faulk said.

“Second half in games, our guys were gassed. We can’t allow that to happen, especially early. We got to play a lot of guys until they get their game legs under them. You can’t wear guys out. You actually have to protect them from themselves, because they think they can go and they don’t know.” The defensive line returns De’Myrion Johnson, who began his career at LSU. His talent pairs with UMass transfers Jermaine Wiggins Jr., a graduate defensive end, and Jaden Wiggins, a redshirt junior defensive tackle. The sons of former NFL tight end Jermaine Wiggins Sr. could cause damage in backﬁelds. They’ll be crucial because Southern’s second level lacks experience. The Jaguars have only one upperclassman linebacker, redshirt junior Markeis Batiste, after graduating their top four at the position. Southern’s secondary is where its best defensive player lies: redshirt junior safety Herman Brister. The preseason All-SWAC ﬁrst-team selection battled injuries last season and

still finished third on the team with 55 tackles. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Brister also had 1.5 tackles for loss, five pass breakups, two quarterback hits and one forced fumble. “Herman is one of our leaders,” Faulk said. “He earned that before we got here.” Helping Brister will be returners such as redshirt sophomore Landon Carter, who led the team with two interceptions, and transfers such as redshirt senior Denzel Williams from Pace University and redshirt junior Kiwaun Davis from Eastern Illinois. Sophomore Nathan Zimmer will likely handle punting duties after serving as the team’s field-goal kicker last season. Southern’s every-down havoc creator isn’t fully known yet and may not exist to the degree of Givens. The Jaguars have prepared for that. With more players it can trust to play, Faulk’s team could try to keep more players fresh and be ready for when injuries strike.
