At a Utility Committee meeting Tuesday, two of the council’s newest members, District A council member Aimee McCarron and council member at large Matthew Willard, asked Entergy officials why they aren’t doing more to keep the lights on and expressed skepticism at the idea of making customers pay more. The council, which regulates

the utility, can fine Entergy when there are too many outages or when outages last too long, though the average number and duration of outages per customer last year fell just below the threshold that triggers those fines. Willard said the council should explore lowering the threshold. “Despite being 44% higher on the number of outages nationwide and despite having the average duration of outages significantly

ICE agents assist with N.O. airport security Shorter waits seen Tuesday BY LARA NICHOLSON and MARCO CARTOLANO Staff writers

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers assisted with security Tuesday during their second day of deployment at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport as travelers saw short wait times and clear security lines. Travelers got a respite Tuesday from the chaos and hourslong lines that plagued the airport Sunday and Monday as Transportation and Security Administration officers go more than five weeks without pay and ICE agents begin directing travelers through security as backup.

Flames crackle as Hunter Hutchinson maneuvers his torch along the edge of the woods, intentionally igniting a fire to allow a return of the longlost past. “The fire helps to reclaim these areas,” Hutchinson, 39, said as flames blackened underbrush in a section of rural St. Tammany Parish. “The objective in these areas like this is to get sunlight in here.” By the end of the day, Hutchinson and the rest of the burn team planned to torch around 800 acres — and, in turn, help an iconic tree rise above the ashes. The prescribed burn is part of larger efforts across the southern United States to restore longleaf pine trees,

Bill to let Legislature remove judges evolves Governor, DAs no longer involved in process

BY MEGHAN FRIEDMANN Staff writer

The Louisiana Legislature could have the power to remove judges under a bill that has made it through the first stage of the legislative process — but the governor would not be able to initiate that removal process, as had been originally proposed. State Sen. Jay Morris, R-West Monroe, who has long called for greater oversight of judges, presented his Senate Bill 123 to the Judiciary C Committee on Tuesday, when he also significantly amended the proposal. In its latest form, SB123 would put a constitutional amendment on the ballot next year

No injuries in oil refinery fire near Texas coast An oil refinery fire near the Texas coast was put out Tuesday and a shelter-in-place order was lifted following air-quality testing, hours after a large explosion at the complex shot plumes of smoke into the air, officials said. No one was injured in Monday’s explosion at the Valero refinery in Port Arthur, about 90 miles east of Houston, Carol Hebert, a Valero spokesperson, said in a statement. “All personnel are accounted for,” Herbert said. Images and video posted online show a large plume of smoke and flames billowing out from the refinery. At Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Mayor Charlotte M. Moses said she was grateful the explosion wasn’t more serious. “With something like that, we definitely could have had mass loss of life and injuries,” Moses said. “I’m just thankful and grateful that all we encountered was a fire ... We’re safe.” She had urged residents in parts of the west side of the city to stay put during the shelter-inplace order. Air monitoring that was done by Valero, the Port Arthur Fire Department and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality “confirmed there was no threat to air quality,” Hebert said. “The cause of the fire is under investigation,” she said.

Philly airport’s longest line is for cheesesteaks PHILADELPHIA — Travelers passing through Philadelphia International Airport on Monday may have expected long security lines. But the longest line was made of cheesesteaks. Organizers say they achieved a new Guinness World Record for the longest line of cheesesteak sandwiches, with 1,291 lined up inside a departure hall to mark National Cheesesteak Day. The display far surpassed the previous benchmark of 500 sandwiches. “We went for the world record for the longest cheesesteak in history,” said Clarence LeJeune of MarketPlace PHL, a company that operates airport concessions. “Today we accomplished that goal here in Philadelphia.” The cheesesteak, which originated in Philadelphia in the early 1900s, is widely considered the city’s signature food. LeJeune called it “synonymous” with Philadelphia, alongside its sports culture. People in black aprons assembled cheesesteaks along tables set up in the walkway between Terminals B and C, filling rolls from silver buckets as they moved past storefronts. After the record was certified, volunteers handed out the sandwiches to travelers, airport workers and Transportation Security Administration staff, who have been working without pay during the government shutdown. LeJeune joked there are few hard rules for cheesesteaks, which is part of the “beauty of the experience.”

Amputee accused of shooting car passenger A professional cornhole player who’s also a quadruple amputee has been accused of fatally shooting a passenger in the front seat of a car he was driving during an argument, Maryland authorities say. Dayton James Webber, 27, was featured by ESPN in 2023 in a story of inspiration, noting he rode dirt bikes, wrestled and played football before becoming a professional cornhole player. In the same year, he wrote an essay for the Today show about how he became a professional competitor. On Sunday night, he was arrested and charged as a fugitive from justice by police in Albemarle County, Virginia, the Charles County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. Charles County is seeking his extradition from Virginia and said he will be charged with first-degree murder, seconddegree murder and related charges.

NEW YORK — One of only two air traffic controllers on duty at LaGuardia Airport cleared a fire truck to cross a runway just 12 seconds before an Air Canada flight touched down, leaving little time to avoid the collision that killed both pilots, federal investigators said Tuesday. The National Transportation Safety Board is working to determine which of the airport’s many layers of safety precautions failed and allowed the fire truck onto the runway Sunday night. Among the areas being explored are whether the common practice of two controllers on duty overnight is enough, why a runway warning system didn’t alert the possibility of a crash, who was coordinating air and ground traffic, and whether the fire truck heard the controller’s last-second pleas to stop. “We rarely, if ever, investigate a major accident where it was one failure,” said Jennifer Homendy, NTSB chair. “When something goes

people, slammed into the fire truck. Most, though, were able to escape the mangled aircraft, and a flight attendant still strapped in her seat survived after being thrown onto the tarmac. NTSB investigators have not yet interviewed the firefighters, who were also injured, or found whether they braked or turned to avoid the collision, Homendy said. Investigators want to know more about the role of the air traffic controllers and what they were doing while juggling a late-night emergency involving another plane — a strong odor reported in the cabin of an outbound United Airlines jet. Homendy warned against jumping to conclusions. “I would caution against pointing fingers at controllers and saying distraction was involved. This is a heavy workload environment,” she said. Having two controllers on duty in the control tower is typical for a late night shift but has long been a concern for the NTSB, she said. Both were early into the their shift when

to more than double what was scheduled, according to data from aviation analytics firm Cirium. Planes were landing every few minutes, with a dozen flights arriving between 11 p.m. and when the crash happened less than 40 minutes later. At the same time, the tower was coordinating the emergency response to the unusual odor making flight attendants feel ill. Jeff Guzzetti, an aviation safety expert who used to investigate crashes for both the NTSB and Federal Aviation Administration, said this crash may lead to questions about whether having two controllers on the overnight shift is enough at major airports. That has been the minimum since 2018, when the FAA imposed that requirement after several instances of controllers falling asleep while working solo. LaGuardia is one of 35 major U.S. airports with an advanced surface surveillance system to help eliminate dangerous runway incursions and prevent crashes.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghanistan’s Taliban authorities on Tuesday released American academic Dennis Coyle after holding him for over a year, with the Foreign Ministry saying the release came on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday that marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. A statement from the ministry said the academic researcher had been released in Kabul, the country’s capital, following an appeal from his family and after Afghanistan’s Supreme Court “considered his previous imprisonment sufficient.” Coyle was detained in January 2025. Afghan authorities accused him of violating laws, but never specified which ones. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio welcomed the release. “President (Donald) Trump is committed to ending unjust detentions overseas — Dennis joins over 100 Americans who have been freed in the past 15 months under his second term in office,” Rubio said in a statement. “While this is a positive step by the Taliban, more work needs to be done,” he added. Earlier this month, the U.S. State Department announced the designation of Afghanistan as a sponsor of wrongful detention, accusing it of engaging in “hostage diplomacy.” Afghanistan joined Iran as countries singled out by the United States for detaining Americans in hopes of extracting policy concessions. Afghanistan rejected U.S. allegations that it detains foreigners to obtain leverage over other countries, saying Afghan authorities arrest people for violating

A Georgia judge granted a bond of just $1 for a murder charge faced by a woman accused by police of taking pills to induce an illegal abortion. “I think that charge is extremely problematic,” Superior Court Judge Steven Blackerby said Monday during a bond hearing for Alexia Moore, according to The New York Times. “That is going to be a hard charge to convict upon.” Blackerby set a total $2,001 bond for Moore, who spent nearly three weeks jailed in coastal Camden County. In addition to $1 for the murder charge, the judge ordered $1,000 bond amounts for each of two drug charges Moore faces. Local police took the 31-year-old Moore into custody March 4 using an arrest warrant with language that echoes a Georgia law banning abortions after embryonic cardiac activity can be detected. That’s generally at about six weeks’ gestation — before many women know they’re pregnant. Moore’s case is one of the first in Georgia of a woman being charged for terminating a pregnancy since the law was adopted in 2019. The judge’s $1 bond raises questions about how a murder case against Moore might proceed. District Attorney Keith Higgins of the Brunswick Judicial Circuit didn’t oppose the bond amount in court Monday and told the judge that police didn’t consult his office before they charged Moore, according to reports by The New York Times and the Georgia news website The Current. In order to send Moore to trial for murder, Higgins’ office would first need to obtain an indictment from a grand jury. A person who answered the phone at Higgins’ office Tuesday said he does not comment on pending cases. Online jail records show that Moore posted bond and was released Monday. She is being represented by attorneys from the Georgia Public Defender Council, which applauded the judge’s decision. “Today’s decision is a reminder that justice is not served by accusation alone,” the council said in a statement. “Our system works best when courts carefully weigh the facts, uphold constitutional protections, and safeguard the rights of every person who comes before them.”

laws not to make a deal. The State Department said earlier this month that the Taliban was believed to hold at least four U.S. nationals, including Coyle and Mahmood Habibi, an Afghan American businessman who worked as a contractor for a Kabul-based telecommunications company. The FBI and Habibi’s family have said they believe he was taken by Taliban forces in 2022, but Afghan authorities have denied holding him. Habibi’s brother, Ahmad Habibi, welcomed Coyle’s release but said in a statement that “we hope that our family will soon have the same feeling of relief, when Mahmood is returned home to us.” Rubio also mentioned another American, Paul Overby, who is listed on the FBI’s missing persons website as having disappeared in eastern Afghanistan’s Khost province in mid-2014 while conducting research for a book he was writing. “We are still seeking the immediate return of Mahmood Habibi, Paul Overby, and all other unjustly detained Americans,” Rubio said. “The Taliban must end their practice of hostage diplomacy.”

CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST Diplomatic efforts pick up with Iran Troops expected to be deployed to Mideast BY JON GAMBRELL, DAVID RISING and SAMY MAGDY Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — President Donald Trump said for a second day that the U.S. was in talks with Iran to end the war as diplomatic efforts picked up Tuesday and Iran issued a newly defiant statement. Airstrikes battered the Islamic Republic while Iranian missiles and drones targeted Israel and sites across the region. Meanwhile, more American troops prepared to head to the Middle East. At least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division will be sent in the coming days, three people with knowledge of the plans told The Associated Press. Thousands of Marines are already heading to the region. Iran has denied that any negotiations are taking place, and Trump delayed his self-imposed deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran’s chokehold on that crucial waterway has snarled international shipping, sent fuel prices skyrocketing and threatened the world economy. Pakistan offered to host diplomatic talks, but Iran vowed to fight “until complete victory.” Any talks between the U.S. and Iran would face monumental challenges. Many of Washington’s shifting objectives, particularly over Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs, remain difficult to achieve. It’s not clear who in Iran’s government would have the authority to negotiate — or be will-

Iran remains highly suspicious of the United States, which twice under the Trump administration has attacked during high-level diplomatic talks, including with the Feb. 28 strikes that started the current war. The 82nd Airborne is considered the Army’s emergency response force and can typically be deployed on short notice. It’s the latest addition of American troops after U.S. officials last week said thousands of Marines aboard several Navy ships will be heading to the region. While the Marine units are trained in missions that include supporting U.S. embassies, evacuating civilians and disaster relief, the soldiers of the 82nd Airborne are trained to parachute into hostile or contested territory to secure key territory and airfields. The New York Times earli-

er reported that the deployment was being considered. The Marine deployment to the region raises speculation that the U.S. may try to seize Kharg Island, which is vital to Iran’s oil network. The U.S. bombed the Persian Gulf island more than a week ago, hitting its defenses but saying it had left oil infrastructure intact. Iran has threatened to mine the Gulf if the U.S. appears to be on the verge of landing troops. Trump said he would hold off on a threat to bomb Iran’s power stations while talks unfold — a delay that could be aimed at buying time for the Marines to arrive, the New York-based Soufan Center think tank wrote in an analysis. However, the center also noted that “Trump could be actively seeking an offramp.” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote on X that Pakistan is ready to “facilitate meaningful and conclusive

talks” to end the Iran war. The U.S. had agreed in principle to join talks in Pakistan, according to three Pakistani officials, one Egyptian official and a Gulf diplomat, while mediators were still working to convince Iran. One diplomat from the region said the talks could happen by early next week, and that special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-inlaw Jared Kushner are expected to represent the U.S. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to provide details to the media. Speaking Tuesday at the White House, the president said the U.S. is “in negotiations right now” and that the participants included Witkoff, Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance. “We have a number of people doing it,” Trump said. “And the other side, I can tell you, they’d like to make a deal.”

Bahrain’s plan calls for ‘all necessary means’ BY FARNOUSH AMIRI and EDITH M. LEDERER Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS — A U.N. Security Council resolution calling for countries to use “all necessary means” to keep the Strait of Hormuz open is facing some opposition for raising the possibility of U.N.-backed military action against Iran, according to three council diplomats. Bahrain put forward the proposal, which was obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, as world powers grapple with how to release Iran’s chokehold on the crucial waterway, which has sent fuel prices skyrocketing and threatened the world economy. The draft resolution would authorize countries or naval partnerships to use military action to secure passage and “to repress, neutralize and deter attempts to close, obstruct or otherwise interfere with international navigation

through the Strait of Hormuz.” It also demands that Iran “immediately cease all attacks against merchant and commercial vessels” and stop impeding freedom of navigation in and around the vital waterway, which is impacting international trade, energy security and the global economy. One of the diplomats said the draft was being reworked Tuesday after a number of countries raised concerns about the resolution being placed under Chapter Seven of the U.N. Charter, which allows the council to authorize actions ranging from sanctions to the use of force. Bahrain, the Arab representative on the U.N.’s most powerful body, is one of numerous countries in the region to be targeted by Iranian drones or missiles since the U.S. and Israel began striking Iran on Feb. 28. It’s unclear if the U.S., which holds the council presidency this month, has thrown its support behind the measure, but U.S. envoy Mike Waltz has previously stated America’s preference for regional leadership on this issue.

Airport disruptions worsen as senators chase deal BY LISA MASCARO and JOEY CAPPELLETTI Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Travel disruptions deepened Tuesday as senators raced to salvage a proposal to end the Homeland Security shutdown by funding much of the department, including airport workers going without pay, but excluding immigration operations that have been core to the dispute. The sudden sense of urgency comes as U.S. airports are snarled by long security lines, with travelers being told to arrive hours before their flights in Houston, Atlanta and Baltimore/ Washington International. Routine Department of Homeland Security funding was halted in mid-February ahead of the busy spring travel season. Nearly 11% of Transportation Security Administration workers who were scheduled to report for duty Monday — more than 3,200 — missed work, and at least 458 have quit altogether since the shutdown began, according to DHS. Democrats are refusing to fund the department without restraints on Trump’s immigration enforcement and mass deportation operations after federal agents killed two citizens in Minneapolis. “The time to end this is now,” said Senate Majority

Travelers line up at a TSA checkpoint at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on Tuesday. Leader John Thune, R-S.D. But Democrats panned the offer as insufficient. And President Donald Trump himself was noncommittal. “I think any deal they make, I’m pretty much not happy with it,” Trump said at an event at the White House swearing in his new Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Airport conditions have become increasingly unpredictable with swelling crowds seen in major hubs. Travelers headed to LaGuar-

dia and John F. Kennedy airports in New York — as well as Newark Liberty International in neighboring New Jersey — still couldn’t check online TSA wait times Tuesday morning. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were spotted in terminals, including at Philadelphia International Airport, where a protester was seen at one of the checkpoints holding a sign criticizing ICE. In Houston, passengers at George Bush Intercontinen-

tal Airport spent hours Tuesday navigating meandering security lines that twisted and turned across multiple floors. Airport wait times listed in the MyTSA mobile app may be outdated because the agency isn’t actively updating its websites during the shutdown. The contours of the deal emerged once a group of Republican senators met with Trump at the White House late Monday, after he upended talks and deployed

federal immigration officers at certain airport security checkpoints — a move some lawmakers warned could lead to heightened tensions. The proposal would fund most of Homeland Security, but not one main part of ICE — the enforcement and removal operations that are core to Trump’s deportation agenda. Under the plan, ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations would be funded as well as Customs and Border Protection, and it would include funding for officers to wear body cameras, but few other restraints. The proposal was not substantially different from one the two sides had already agreed on before the deaths sparked demands for more changes, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss the details, which have not been publicly released. For example, there was no mandate that immigration officers wear identification or other changes the White House had floated earlier in talks, including a ban on immigration enforcement at schools, churches, hospitals and other sensitive places, the person said. While the ICE officers manning airports are going without face-covering masks, the Democratic demand that they go unmasked

during immigration operations does not appear to be part of the deal. “We need strong, strong reforms and we need to rein in ICE,” said Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. Since so much of ICE is already funded through Trump’s big tax breaks bill, immigration officers are still receiving paychecks despite the shutdown. Congress is controlled by the Republican president’s party, and any deal would also have to be approved by the House. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said his party members insist on “bold” changes to ICE. On Tuesday, Delta Air Lines confirmed it was suspending its specialty services for members of Congress amid the shutdown, meaning those who fly with the carrier will be treated like other passengers based on their SkyMiles status. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported the suspension. Key to ending the standoff appears to be the senators’ ability to shift the president’s attention off his plan to link any department funding to his push to pass the socalled SAVE America Act, a strict proof-of-citizenship and voter ID bill that has stalled in the Senate ahead of the midterm elections.

Russia fires nearly 400 drones at Ukraine, killing 6 BY ILLIA NOVIKOV Associated Press

KYIV, Ukraine — A major Russian drone and missile attack on civilian areas of Ukraine killed six people and injured at least 46, officials said Tuesday, while Moscow’s army stepped up efforts to break through Ukrainian front-line defenses in what could be the start of an anticipated spring ground offensive. Russia fired almost 400 long-range drones at Ukraine overnight, Ukraine’s air force said, in its biggest attack in weeks. The onslaught continued into Tuesday as dozens of drones targeted the capital Kyiv during daylight. Russia launched swarms of Iranian-designed Shahed drones, hitting at least seven cities, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X. Russia also launched 23 cruise missiles and seven ballistic missiles at Ukraine during the night, hitting at least 10 locations across the country, according to the air force. Daytime strikes injured 13 people, including three children, in the central Ukraine city of Dnipro, and another daylight attack hit an apartment block in the center of the western city of Lviv, near the Polish border, where 13 people were injured, regional officials said. The Lviv attack set fire to the city’s 17th-century St.

Andrew’s Church, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said. In the central city of Ivano-Frankivsk, the attack damaged maternity hospitals and about 10 apartment buildings, according to Svitlana Onyshchuk, the head of the regional military administration. Two people were killed and four injured, including a 6-yearold child, she said. Ukrainian civilians have endured relentless barrages since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of its

neighbor more than four years ago. U.S.-brokered talks between Moscow and Kyiv over the past year have brought no respite, with Russia rejecting Ukraine’s offer of a ceasefire, and in recent weeks, the Iran war has diverted international attention from Ukraine’s plight. On the roughly 750-mile front line snaking along eastern and southern parts of Ukraine, the short-handed defenders have been bracing for a new offensive by Russia’s bigger army as

the weather improves. The commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, said Russian troops have in recent days made simultaneous attempts to break through defensive lines in several strategic areas. “Fierce fighting unfolded along the entire line of contact,” Syrskyi said Monday on the Telegram messaging

app, with Russia launching 619 attacks in four days. “The occupiers are attempting to bring up new units and are preparing to continue attacks,” Syrskyi said, adding that Ukraine had deployed reinforcements to counter the assaults. It was not possible to independently verify the battlefield claims.

The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, said Syrskyi’s report backed up its assessment that Russia’s spring-summer offensive is now underway. Russia escalated its strikes from March 17 and has moved heavy equipment and more troops to the front line, the ISW said late Monday.

ENTERGY

Continued from page 1A Parkways to cut back tree branches that would otherwise imperil some power lines and conducted additional inspections of its distributions lines. Entergy is also in the process of installing “self-healing network” technology to automatically detect issues and isolate them before they spread. “Our goal is to restore the power as quickly as possible,” Calamari said. The City Council regulates Entergy New Orleans, which provides electricity for 210,000 customers. It is the only local regulator in the U.S. to oversee a utility while there is a state regulator in place — the Louisiana Public Service Commission. The commission oversees Entergy Louisiana, which runs Entergy’s portfolio outside of the city. In 2023, the council passed a new set of reliability standards, designed to cap the number of outages Entergy’s system can experience without penalty in a year. Those regulations require no more than 1.53 outages and 178.2 min-

JUDGES

Continued from page 1A which, if approved by voters, would enable the Legislature to remove judges for “malfeasance, gross misconduct, or incompetence committed while in office.” Successfully removing a judge would require a majority vote of the House and a twothirds vote from the Senate; the judge also would receive a trial in the Senate. The bill no longer applies to district attorneys, who had been subject to Morris’ original proposal. And the senator’s amendments minimized the role of the governor in the process, opting to instead involve the House. Morris’ first draft had laid out a removal process requiring a recommendation from the governor and a two-thirds vote from the Senate. That idea sparked backlash over fears that it would make judges beholden to the governor and other politicians, and diminish their ability to make independent decisions, especially when those decisions might adversely affect the state government. “People had concerns of overreaching by the governor, but I felt like the twothirds (Senate) vote was

“If there is something that needs to be replaced we will bring it to the front of the line. We’re not waiting for something just to fail.” DANIEL CALAMARI, Entergy New Orleans director of metro reliability utes without power for the average customer per year. The average Entergy New Orleans customer experienced 1.44 outages and 163 minutes without power in 2025, which is still below the threshold, though the total number of outages, 304,178, is the most the utility has had in nine years. Citing persistent outages, the previous council in December voted to revive a dormant investigation into Entergy’s management of its power lines, poles and other equipment. The council ordered the utility to hire a consultant to provide a report on the steps it’s taken to improve reliability, though the company has yet to do so. A spokesperson for Entergy New Orleans said Monday that officials met with the council’s utility advisers in Febru-

enough of a guardrail,” Morris said. “However, the governor didn’t care. He just said that we need something to bring accountability to the judiciary in this state.” The amendments also made Supreme Court justices and appeals courts judges subject to removal; previously the bill had covered only local judges. Removed judges would be “permanently barred” from running for judicial office in the state again. Currently, many officials in Louisiana are subject to impeachment, but judges can be sanctioned or removed from the bench only by order of the state Supreme Court. The Louisiana Judiciary Commission, a panel responsible for investigating complaints against judges, can recommend discipline to the high court, but the justices do not have to follow their suggestions. Judges in Louisiana are not subject to recall elections. The latest version of SB123 is designed to mirror the impeachment process, Morris told the Judiciary C Committee. He argued the bill was necessary to address judicial incompetence in Louisiana. Morris listed several cases out of Orleans Parish in which juveniles who he said were already accused or convicted

ary to discuss the process but that a vendor has not been selected. Tuesday was the first time some council members have called for a tweak to the minimum reliability standards, which some advocacy groups have said should be strengthened over time. “That number of minutes for a grandma in Hollygrove that needs oxygen could mean life or death,” said McCarron, speaking about the time an average customer spent without power last year. “We’ve got to see improvement on this.” Last year, 44% of Entergy’s outages were related to equipment failures. Other outage causes ran the gamut and included everything from lightning strikes to scheduled interruptions for system improvements. There’s widespread agreement

of multiple crimes went on to kill or seriously injure victims after being released. He argued judges treated those juveniles too lightly. Morris mentioned the killing of Kristie Thibodeaux, a French Quarter tour guide who was shot to death in 2024. Kevin Nunez, a teen who Morris said had multiple prior convictions for offenses including aggravated assault with a firearm, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with Thibodeaux’s slaying. Had the judge made “common sense” decisions, “that young lady would still be alive,” Morris said. State Sen. Heather Cloud, R-Turkey Creek, who supported Morris’ proposal, said it would help deal with “judges who are not applying good sense and good measure to keep families and communities safe.” But not everyone felt the measure was a good idea. Senate President Pro Tempore Regina Barrow, D-Baton Rouge, worried the bill was a “slippery slope” that could make judges vulnerable to removal when politicians don’t like their rulings, even without crime or serious misconduct by the judge. Barrow agreed the Legislature needed to address failures in the criminal justice system, she said, but she

that Entergy’s infrastructure needs to be upgraded, but the central question for council members is who should pay for it. Entergy filed its request for a new rider fee in December and estimated it would cost customers around $1 per month in 2027 and $3.28 per month in 2028. It’s unclear how much those costs would rise after that. Entergy said it needs a decision from the council by October so it can retain skilled workers and contractors who are scheduled to finish work on the utility’s first phase of upgrades later this year. Council members said Tuesday they want more information from Entergy on how much it’s spending on upgrades out of its bottom line. They also requested a more detailed report on its infrastructure improvements. “How can you ask us, the regulator, to increase your rates if the reliability that people depend on isn’t getting better?” said McCarron, adding that Entergy New Orleans is “probably the worst in the country for reliability.” When Entergy identifies an area with multiple outages, Calamari said the company dispatches a team with thermal cameras that can detect issues with distribution

lines that aren’t visible to the naked eye. The company inspects its utility poles once every 10 years and replaced 150 poles last year, he added. “If there is something that needs to be replaced we will bring it to the front of the line,” Calamari said. “We’re not waiting for something just to fail.” Jesse George, a policy director at the Alliance for Affordable Energy, a consumer advocacy group, said the council shouldn’t consider Entergy’s request for a new rider fee until the investigation it ordered in December is complete. He said the sheer number of equipment failures is “evidence of poor maintenance” and urged the council to strengthen its reliability standards. The council on Tuesday also approved revisions to the city code governing utility regulations and customer protections. The changes, which must be voted on by the full council, would require utilities to provide quarterly reports to the council on how they resolved customer complaints and also add refrigerators to the list of life-sustaining medical devices that customers can register with Entergy to delay disconnections.

Cassidy declines debate Bill targets harassment of invite from Moon Griffon athletes over sports bets Fleming, Letlow accept radio station studio appearance

BY TYLER BRIDGES Staff writer

Louisiana’s U.S. Senate campaign was stuck Tuesday in a debate about debates. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, fighting for his political life against two formidable Republican opponents, rejected a debate invitation issued last week by conservative radio talk show host Moon Griffon, who has nicknamed the senator “Psycho Bill.” Griffon said his program offers the best forum for conservatives to hear from candidates in advance of the May 18 party primary. Treasurer John Fleming and U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow, R-Baton Rouge, have agreed to the debate, which Griffon said would take place in his Lafayette radio station studio from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. April 28. Griffon appears on affiliates throughout Louisiana. Meanwhile, Letlow has yet to accept Cassidy’s challenge from March 6 that she agree to three televised debates. Two TV networks have offered to host the events. “Day 18: What is Liberal Letlow Hiding?” read a headline in a news release issued by Cassidy’s campaign staff Tuesday. “Louisiana voters are still waiting for an answer. This would be Letlow’s first real debate opportunity in a competitive statewide race, and instead of stepping up, she continues to avoid the spotlight.” The Letlow campaign did

not respond to a request for an interview with her on Tuesday. Answering a question in a call with Louisiana reporters, Cassidy said a debate on Griffon’s radio network wouldn’t attract a big enough audience. “Anyone with a lick of sense, unless they’re promoting their own show, understands that a prime-time TV station is where Cassidy we should be,” Cassidy said. “You want the maximal opportunity for the people on that Letlow debate to explain their position.” Griffon on his program Tuesday ridiculed Cassidy’s view. “ M o s t people will Fleming watch it later in the day, later in the night,” Griffon said in his trademark Cajun growl. “Cassidy doesn’t understand that at all.” On Monday, Griffon pledged to treat Cassidy fairly, saying he wouldn’t ask any “gotcha” questions. But on Tuesday, Griffon blasted Cassidy, saying of Letlow and Fleming, “Compared to him, they are super great. … We will have two candidates here to talk about the issues.” Griffon went on to complain that Cassidy appeared on his show for years until the radio host lit into him for voting to convict Trump on impeachment charges for inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, as-

sault on the Capitol. The vote led Griffon to brand Cassidy as “Psycho Bill.” Griffon said 1,915 days have passed since Cassidy has been on his show. Cassidy said Fleming and Letlow would have a homefield advantage on Griffon’s program. He said the host does not raise questions about Letlow’s failure to report individual stock trades more than a year late. Cassidy and a super PAC supporting him have pounded Letlow on this issue. During commercial breaks, listeners heard ads for Letlow and Fleming but none from Cassidy. Letlow’s ad repeatedly noted that President Donald Trump has endorsed her in the Senate race. Fleming’s ad describes how he worked his way through college, became a doctor for the Navy and then opened a general practice, has operated businesses, was elected to Congress and worked for the first Trump administration. On a daily basis, Griffon rails against liberals and Democrats and praises Trump. He also sometimes criticizes Republicans, including then-Gov. Bobby Jindal and Gov. Jeff Landry for, in his view, straying from the conservative line. Frustrated that Cassidy won’t agree to appear with Letlow and Fleming, Griffon upped the ante Tuesday, calling on Cassidy to debate him one on one. On Monday, Jim Engster, who hosts the biggest talk radio program in Baton Rouge — one that is not openly partisan or ideological — offered to host a debate. Speaking on Griffon, Engster added, “he is a partisan. Because of that, I think Cassidy would be out of his mind to go on that show.”

toward athletes connected to sports betting. It would empower the gambling regulator to kick violators off sports betting platforms. While all student athletes need greater protections related to sports betting, that’s especially the case for female student athletes, Reese said in an interview. “The statistics that we’re seeing nationally about how that predominantly impacts our female student athletes, I think increase even more our need to have some protection around that,” he said.

As sports betting grows in popularity, some athletes say they are getting threats and harassment from bettors who lose their wagers — and some Louisiana lawmakers want the state to intervene. “Athletes across college and professional sports are increasingly facing harassment and threats from individuals with betting interests, especially as legal sports wagering expands nationwide,” said state Sen. Mike Reese, R-Leesville, at the State Capitol on Tuesday. Reese is sponsoring Senate Bill 325, which would allow the Louisiana Gaming Control Board to ban harassment and violence

people who pose “a threat to public safety or the integrity of gaming” from participating in gambling activities in Louisiana, said board Chair Christopher Hebert. The board determines the length of a gambling suspension on a case-by-case basis following its rules and procedures, he said. SB325 would explicitly extend that authority to sports wagering, including mobile platforms, Hebert said. “It addresses emerging concerns by allowing for the exclusion of individuals who threaten violence against athletes, officials, or others connected to sporting events,” Hebert said. The NCAA in recent years has been ringing the alarm about threats against student athletes.

Transportation and Security Administration employees help travelers through the screening process at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Monday.

AIRPORT

Continued from page 1A By the end of the morning rush at 10 a.m., wait times averaged only 10 minutes, according to airport spokesperson Erin Burns, compared to lines stretching into the parking garage and wait times exceeding three hours on Sunday and Monday. By early afternoon Tuesday, travelers passed through general security lines without any wait at all. Airport officials have warned that wait times can vary widely amid the ongoing partial government shutdown, with Sundays and Mondays being the busiest, especially from 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be the lightest travel days, according to airport officials. Travelers are advised to arrive at the airport three hours ahead of their scheduled departure on those days, and two hours ahead the rest of the week. As passengers breezed through security, ICE agents stood in groups of twos and threes at the front of TSA’s security lanes, unmasked and wearing rubber gloves while they instructed passengers to place bags in bins, dump out liquids, remove outerwear and other typical protocols.

Agents did not appear to handle checking IDs, operating X-ray machines or conducting searches, which require specialized training and certifications that ICE agents do not have. They did not appear to be helping with TSA PreCheck or CLEAR lines. Tuesday was the first day ICE agents participated in the security process at the airport, after appearing to mostly stand together in groups observing passengers and chatting with one another the day before. Some agents not helping with security continued to walk around the airport and occasionally greet passengers on Tuesday. President Donald Trump announced over the weekend he’d send ICE to 14 major flight hubs to assist with security, raising questions about what responsibilities ICE would take on and whether they’d conduct immigration enforcement operations at the facilities. Mayor Helena Moreno said Monday that ICE would only assist “with checkpoint operations such as line management and crowd control, not immigration enforcement.” TSA agents have worked without pay since Feb. 14 after funding for the Department of Homeland Security lapsed due to a congressional impasse on immigration enforcement with no ap-

parent end in sight, causing thousands of TSA workers to call in sick at airports across the country. The department oversees both TSA and ICE. ICE agents are still receiving pay during the shutdown through Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which included $75 billion for ICE over four years. About 11% of TSA workers nationwide called in sick Sunday and Monday. New Orleans saw the highest call-in rate in the country Sunday at 42.3%, and one of the highest rates again Monday at 34.9%. New Orleans City Council member Eugene Green, chair of the city Transportation and Airport Committee, came to the airport Tuesday to speak with airport personnel and record videos of the short wait lines. Green said airport and city officials are working together to ensure travelers stayed informed with the latest information on TSA wait times. He said he is supportive of ICE agents working with TSA and local security at the airport to alleviate travelers’ woes. “Whether it be ICE, law enforcement officials, members of the staff of the New Orleans airport, it’s just important to recognize it wasn’t just about the wait, it was about having people to be more secure in their travels and allaying any fears that they had,” Green said.

BRIEFS FROM WIRE REPORTS

Stocks slip after rally as uncertainty continues NEW YORK — U.S. stock indexes slipped Tuesday and gave back some of their rallies from the day before, while oil prices got back to rising as uncertainty continues about how long the war with Iran will last. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% after yoyoing through the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 84 points, or 0.2%, while the Nasdaq composite sank 0.8%. Markets have been on a roller coaster since President Donald Trump raised hopes that the war with Iran could end soon when he said Monday that the United States and Iran held productive talks “regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.” His announcement, which came just before Wall Street opened for trading, caused financial markets worldwide to reverse momentum immediately. It calmed worries that the war may cause a long-term disruption to the oil and natural gas industry in the Persian Gulf, one big enough to send a blast of inflation to the region’s customers worldwide. But the financial market has since gotten both encouraging and discouraging signals about the war. On one side, attacks continued in the Middle East Tuesday after Iran denied having direct talks with the United States. On the other, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote on X that his country is ready to “facilitate meaningful and conclusive talks” to end the Iran war.

Chances of a Federal Reserve rate hike fade WASHINGTON — The jump in gas prices stemming from the war in Iran has had another impact that may also affect many Americans’ finances: higher interest rates. Longer-term interest rates have risen quickly since the war began Feb. 28, pushing up the cost of mortgage loans, auto loans, and business borrowing. And with inflation measures likely to rise in the coming months, the prospect of interest rate cuts this year by the Federal Reserve is fading. Wall Street investors instead see the odds rising of an actual rate hike instead. The fact that a rate hike has become a plausible scenario — even as most economists still see it as unlikely — represents a sharp turnaround from early this year, when the debate was more focused on how many times the Fed would reduce its key rate, rather than whether it would do so at all. Wall Street investors no longer foresee any rate reductions this year, according to futures pricing tracked by CME Fedwatch. And the odds of a rate hike by October have risen to nearly 25%, up from zero just a week ago.

Epic Games lays off more than 1,000 Fortnite publisher Epic Games said Tuesday it is laying off 1,000 employees to save money as it grapples with industrywide and company-specific challenges. The Cary, North Carolinabased video game publisher said in a memo to employees that the job cuts are not related to artificial intelligence. Rather, they stem from industrywide challenges such as slower growth, weaker spending and tougher cost economics. Games like Fortnite are also competing for people’s attention against social media and other forms of online entertainment. In addition, Epic said it’s had its own company-specific hurdles, for example, it is “only in the early stages of returning to mobile” after court battles with Apple and Google over app store payments. Epic said it has 4,000 employees after Tuesday’s layoffs, which amount to about 20% of the company’s workforce. The company’s last largescale layoffs were in 2023, when it cut 830 jobs.

Poll: Job market outlook gloomy Americans have bleak view of job search

BY CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP economics writer

WASHINGTON — Americans’ outlook on the job market has turned increasingly pessimistic, a surprisingly negative shift given the low unemployment rate but one that likely reflects an ongoing hiring drought. Just 28% of workers in a quarterly Gallup survey conducted late last year said now is a “good time” to find a quality job, with 72% saying it is a bad time. Those figures are a sharp reversal from just a few years ago, in mid-2022, when 70% said it was a good time. Americans have quickly gotten more pessimistic: As recently as

late 2024, just under half of workers still said it was a good time to search for a job. The current survey was conducted during the final three months of 2025, long before the Iran war that has sent oil and gas prices soaring and threatens to slow the economy as Americans redirect more of their dollars to filling gas tanks and away from other spending. The figures help explain other surveys that show Americans have a largely bleak view of the economy, even as many headline measures suggest it has been growing and job losses are low. Job pessimism is especially pronounced among college graduates. The shift is likely because hiring in many white-collar professions has been unusually weak for the past two years, in areas such as software,

customer service and advertising. The survey found a split based on education levels, with just 19% of workers with a college degree thinking that now is a good time to find a quality job, while 35% of workers without a college degree are optimistic. A separate Gallup survey of U.S. adults overall found that college graduates’ optimism about the job market is the lowest it’s been since 2013. Meanwhile, the gap in job market sentiment between Americans with and without a college degree was at its widest in that survey since Gallup started asking the question in 2001. Just about 2 in 10 workers ages 18-34 think now is a good time to find a job, compared to about 4 in 10 workers ages 65 and older who say the same.

Gallup’s survey is consistent with what economists call the “low-hire, low-fire” job market: Businesses are largely holding onto their workers and measures of layoffs remain quite low. As a result, older workers are largely secure in their jobs. But hiring is also quite sluggish, making it harder for younger workers to break in and find permanent work. The Gallup results come as government data shows that overall hiring is at its weakest level in more than a decade. The Labor Department tracks a “hiring rate,” or the proportion of people who are hired each month as a percent of those with jobs. The hiring rate dropped to 3.2% last November, around when Gallup conducted its survey, the lowest since March 2013. It was 3.9% before the pandemic.

Asia boosts coal use as Iran conflict squeezes global natural gas supplies War in Middle East disrupts other fossil fuel supplies BY ANTON L. DELGADO and ANIRUDDHA GHOSAL Associated Press

BANGKOK — Asian countries are turning to coal as the Iran war disrupts oil and gas shipments. The continent is exposed because it relies on imported fuel, much of it passing through the Strait of Hormuz — a chokepoint for about a fifth of global oil and natural gas trade. LNG is a natural gas cooled to liquid form for easy storage and transport. It has been promoted as a bridge fuel in the shift from oil and coal to cleaner energy sources. The U.S. has sought to expand exports of LNG across Asia. It burns cleaner than coal, but still emits climate change -causing gases, especially methane. The war has countries shifting back to coal to cover LNG shortfalls. India is burning more coal to meet higher summer demand. South Korea has lifted caps on electricity from coal. Indonesia is prioritizing using its domestic supply. Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam are boosting coal-fired power. Burning more coal risks worsening smog in major cities, slowing the transition to renewable energy and increasing the region’s planet-warming emissions. Coal is a short-term fix, experts say, while renewables are the long-term solution. Continued reliance on coal exposes Asia to future shocks, said Julia Skorupska, of the global coalition Powering Past Coal Alliance. “This kind of crisis is a real sort of warning,” she said. Coal is integral to Asia’s emergency energy plans. Its wide availability in Asia makes it the default backup when renewables or gas fall short, said Sandeep Pai, an energy expert at Duke University. China, the top coal consumer and producer, has built record coal power generating capacity since 2021 to improve its energy security. Its national policy calls for continued use of coal, even as its vast clean energy capacity offers some relief. India, the second-largest coal consumer and producer, is bracing for a scorching summer and will rely more on coal to meet peak demand of 270 gigawatts — nearly twice the electricity Spain can produce.

Guohua Power Station, a coal-fired power plant, operates as people sell items on a street in Dingzhou, Baoding, in northern China’s Hebei province on Nov. 10, 2023. Asian countries are turning to heavier coal use as the war in Iran continues to disrupt oil and gas shipments. has enough coal for about three months, with some stockpiles earmarked for small businesses. Two Indian liquefied petroleum gas shipments totaling more than 92,700 tons recently made it through the Strait of Hormuz. Such imports will likely be directed to industries such as fertilizer production rather than power generation, Pai said. Coal advocates such as Michelle Manook of FutureCoal say the shortfall would be worse without coal and future use should be strategic. “The lesson has to be diversity,” she said. Pauline Heinrichs, who studies climate and energy at King’s College London, points to China’s boosting use of coal to offset hydropower shortfalls due to droughts, worsening emissions that contribute to climate change. “You learn to respond to shocks generated by certain insecurities by reproducing the insecurity,” she said. Adding to the vulnerability for import-

dependent countries, Indonesia, the world’s largest exporter, is prioritizing domestic use over exports. That could tighten regional supplies and push global prices higher, said Putra Adhiguna of the Energy Shift Institute. Coal prices are set globally, leaving importers exposed to swings and disruptions. More coal does not guarantee cheap or reliable power, said Russell Marsh, of E3G. Vietnam is already facing that volatility. It increased imports after weather-related shortages, but supplies from Indonesia are now uncertain so it’s considering importing coal from the U.S. and Laos, according to energy market tracker Argus Media. The main price for coal used in Asia, called Newcastle coal from Australia, has risen 13% since the war began. Higher prices will also hurt southeast Asia, the world’s third-largest coal-consuming region. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday declared a state of national energy emergency.

Anthropic and Pentagon head to court over ‘stigmatizing’ label AI firm seeks end to supply chain risk designation BY MICHAEL LIEDTKE and MATT O’BRIEN AP technology writers

SAN FRANCISCO — Artificial intelligence company Anthropic is asking a federal judge on Tuesday to temporarily halt the Pentagon’s “unprecedented and stigmatizing” designation of the company as a supply chain risk. A hearing scheduled for Tuesday in a California federal court marks a critical step in the feud between Anthropic and the Trump administration over how the company’s AI technology could be used in war. Anthropic sued earlier this

month to stop the Trump administration from enforcing what the company calls an “unlawful campaign of retaliation” over its refusal to allow unrestricted military use of its technology. The company is asking U.S. District Judge Rita Lin for an emergency order that would temporarily reverse the Pentagon’s decision to designate the AI company a “supply chain risk.” Anthropic also seeks to undo President Donald Trump’s order directing all federal employees, not just those in the military, to stop using its AI chatbot Claude. Lin is presiding over the case in federal court in San Francisco, where Anthropic is headquartered. The AI firm has also filed a separate and more narrow case in the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. Lin sent both sides a number of questions she wants them to an-

swer at Tuesday’s hearing, including about discrepancies between Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s formal directive declaring Anthropic a potential threat to national security and what he posted about it on social media. Anthropic has said it sought to restrict its technology from being used for mass surveillance of Americans and fully autonomous weapons. Hegseth and other highranking officials publicly insisted the company must accept “all lawful” uses of Claude, threatened punishment if Anthropic did not comply and condemned the firm and its CEO Dario Amodei on social media. When Amodei refused to bend, Trump announced on Feb. 27 that he was immediately ordering all federal employees to stop using Anthropic, calling it a “radical left,

woke company” that was putting troops at risk. He gave a longer period of six months for the Pentagon to phase out Anthropic’s technology, which is already embedded in classified military platforms, including those used in the Iran war. Anthropic’s lawsuit alleges that the government actions violated the First Amendment and due process laws. “Put simply, the Executive Branch is leveraging its powers to punish a major American company for the sin of expressing its views on a matter of profound public significance,” it said in a legal filing last week. Department of Justice lawyers countered in their own court filing last week that the Trump administration’s actions targeted Anthropic’s commercial conduct, not its free speech rights.

Longleaf pine forests once covered more than 90 million acres across the southern United States, which once towered above including parts of Louisiana. That number plummeted some 90 million acres across to around 3 million acres, but restoration efforts have nine states from Virginia to boosted that number in recent years.

shipbuilding, producing what is referred to as “naval stores.” They also make for good masts and utility poles, among many other uses. “We pulled a lot of naval stores from those longleaf pines, in terms of pitch, tar, lumber, you name it,” the LSU Ag Center’s Valerie West said. “If it was on that tree, it probably went into a boat or into some other part of our naval organization at some point, especially right up until about the Second World War and through the Second World War.” Longleafs were gradually replaced with loblolly and slash pine, which tend to grow faster, allowing landowners to earn money more quickly from their timber. The conservancy works with federal and state partners to provide landowners with financial and technical assistance to replant longleaf. A national initiative set a goal in 2010 of increasing acreage across the south to 8 million, said Matthew Vandersande, of the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. A list of agencies, organizations and corporate partners cooper-

ate on the goal under what is known as America’s Longleaf initiative. “Last year, we were up to 5.2, so we still have a little way to go, but we stopped the decline and we’re moving in the right direction,” he said. As an example, in fiscal year 2024, about $500,000 in assistance went to 12 producers covering more than 1,600 acres in Louisiana, said Sarah Trichel, the USDA’s acting Louisiana state conservationist. “Wildlife is a large driver here in Louisiana of individuals coming in wanting to be a part of the longleaf story,” Trichel said. “We have those that remember seeing longleaf when they were growing up and don’t see that anymore, and they really want to have that longleaf stand reestablished, to see those long needles, those large cones, and for their grandchildren and their grandchildren’s children.”

Devil in a box Fire is an invaluable part of returning longleaf to the landscape, which is why Hutchinson was working with his drip torch recently on property in St. Tammany Parish owned by the Weyerhaeuser timber company. That section of land, bordering Nature Conservancy property, is being used as a mitigation bank, employed by companies to compensate for environmental degradation elsewhere. Longleaf has been planted there and it is beginning to flourish. The trees are especially fire-resistant, and in the long-ago past, forest fires were much more common than now. Those involved in longleaf restoration stress how important controlled fires are to clearing the way for the trees to grow, but they note that prescribed burns by experts are what is required, not random blazes that can quickly spiral out of control. The fires clear away unwanted growth and allow sunlight to reach the forest bottom. It all leads to a domino effect, permitting plants and animals that were once part of the longleaf ecosys-

tem to return. Those can include turkey, bobwhite quail, pitcher plants and gopher tortoise, a unique species that digs burrows also important to other animals. White-tailed deer also benefit from longleaf ecosystems. Near the recent burn in St. Tammany, a pair of wild turkeys launched from a spot in a clearing and took flight through the woods. Burns are carefully plotted operations, with experts planning a precise mode of attack, dependent upon conditions such as wind direction. John Ponder, who headed the burn team from Sustainable Forestry Solutions, said there can be no return of longleaf without it, but it must be done with the utmost care, comparing it to letting “the devil” out of a box for a short period of time. “You just kind of open the box, and then you kind of let him out, and then he just kind of starts doing his thing,” said Ponder. “You spend the whole rest of the day trying to put him back in the box. That’s the whole name of the game.” The Nature Conservancy’s Rivers, who initially trained Ponder, said the nuances of longleaf habitat are endless. “This is just scratching the surface,” he said. “It’s an incredible system.”

Musk tunnel company eyes N.O. Few details offered as potential loop site is chosen in challenge BY JONAH MEADOWS Staff writer

The Boring Company, Elon Musk’s tunnel company, has selected New Orleans as a potential site for a 1-mile underground loop. The “NOLA Loop” is one of three winners of the company’s Tunnel Vision Challenge, company officials announced Tuesday. The other winners are Baltimore and Dallas. Boring Company officials pledged to pay the costs of a “rigorous diligence process” and to “fund/build” the New Orleans tunnel — if it’s determined to be feasible. Mayor Helena Moreno cited the project as an example of a new excitement among those considering investments in New Orleans. “Any time major corporations or players are interested in New Orleans, it’s a positive,” Moreno said in a statement. “We are in the early stages of exploring this project.” It is not clear where the tunnel would be built or what purpose it would serve. So far, the only Boring Company-built tunnels in public use are used to move Teslas around near the Las Vegas Strip. Also unclear is how the project would overcome the geographic limitations of New Orleans, which has a historically high water table and sits on soil deposited from the Mississippi River. No details about the plan were available from the Moreno administration, and representatives of The Boring Company have not responded to questions regarding who submitted the proposal, where it would be built and whether company officials contacted any state or local authorities about it.

Tunnel visions There were nearly 500 entries to the challenge, which allowed individuals, businesses or governments to propose tunnels and provide their benefit and rationale. Submissions were judged based on their usefulness, their level of “stakeholder engagement” and their technical, economic and regulatory feasibility, according to the company. “Whether it is feasible or not, we’ve

opened the door for conversations that could lead to opportunities, even if it’s not this one,” Moreno said. Now that New Orleans has been selected, the next steps in the process include meetings between The Boring Company and “elected officials, regulators, community leaders and business leaders,” as well as “geotechnical borings” and “utility and subsurface (infrastructure) investigation,” according to an announcement from The Boring Company. Headquartered in Hawthorne, California, The Boring Company was spun out of SpaceX in 2018 with the promise of high-speed, low-cost tunnels for transportation and utilities. Musk initially announced plans to build “hyperloop” tunnels to allow travel at more than 600 mph using magnetic levitation and vacuum tubes. Those plans have been largely abandoned in favor of putting regular Tesla cars in standard-pressure tunnels. So far, the company has dug more than 10 miles of tunnels in Las Vegas, about 4 miles of which are operational. The company eventually hopes to have a 68-mile underground network in Las Vegas capable of moving 90,000 passengers around in Tesla vehicles every hour. Construction is also underway in Nashville, Tennessee, where the privately funded Music City Loop promises to reduce the time it takes to get from downtown to the airport to about eight minutes. Last month, state and federal transportation officials approved a lease and permit for The Boring Company to move forward with construction on state-owned land in Tennessee. “The Music City Loop shows what’s possible when we leverage privatesector innovation and American ingenuity to solve transportation challenges,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a release announcing the approval. Several other projects announced by the company never materialized, including a D.C.-to-Baltimore route, airport links in Chicago and San Antonio and multiple proposals in Southern California.

‘Attracting opportunities’ New Orleans’ historically high water table and deltaic soil deposited relatively recently by the Mississippi River have made tunnels in the area extremely rare.

“For years the people of the Deep South shrugged off the thought of having tunnels because they were sure you couldn’t build anything through the muck that is Louisiana’s channel beds,” Times-Picayune reporters wrote in 1958 following the completion of the Harvey Tunnel. “There’s an adage among engineers that, ‘If you have a choice between building a tunnel or a bridge, build a bridge,’ ” Tulane University historian and geographer Richard Campanella said Tuesday in a phone interview. Though the project is technically possible, Campanella said there’s a good reason there are only a few functional tunnels in the region. “It is a challenge here. You’re not dealing with hard earth; you’re dealing with recently deposited sand silt, clay water and organic matter,” Campanella said. Historically, abandoned tunnels have left behind buckled pavement on the tarmac at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and on Canal Street above a 700-foot tunnel — resulting in a sinkhole named “Sinky” that emerged in 2016 — built for the abortive Riverfront Expressway. “The thing was canceled, and the city was stuck with this useless tunnel, now used as valet parking for the casino,” Campanella said, noting that the logistics of the NOLA Loop project will depend on where it is located. A spokesperson for Moreno’s office has not said whether any city officials were involved in preparing the submission for The Boring Company’s Tunnel Vision competition. Email Jonah Meadows at Jonah.

Tulane University is planning a new student housing complex across South Claiborne Avenue from its Uptown campus, a project that will include demolishing Ted’s Frostop, the local diner that has operated on the site since 1955. In an announcement to its staff Monday, Tulane officials said the complex will house 160 students in 39 apartments. It will also include a ground-floor parking garage and space for neighborhood shops.

Tulane said. The move is the latest by Tulane to add to its housing options, part of a long-term goal to bring more students on campus and out of nearby neighborhoods. Last summer, it completed a new $200 million residential complex, The Village, with hundreds of new dorm rooms, designed to accommodate the freshman, sophomores and juniors now required to live on campus. Those projects were built by the university within the traditional boundaries of its Uptown campus. The South Claiborne development is on privately owned land across the street from campus, and is be-

an important corridor and reinforces the long-term vitality of the area,” said Patrick Norton, Tulane’s senior vice president and chief operating officer in the statement. “By combining a strong residential experience with the continuity of Ted’s Frostop, we’re investing in both our students and the neighborhood we share.” The complex is being developed by the Robert family, which owns the Robert’s Fresh Market chain of grocery stores and has developed retail projects next to its supermarkets in Faubourg Marigny and

The Orleans Parish School Board could ask the state to collect its sales taxes, a move that would come amid stalled negotiations to end a yearslong collections dispute between the board and New Orleans’ municipal government. The city has long collected property and sales taxes on behalf of the board in exchange for a fee, which last year added up to more than $11 million. In 2019, the board sued the city over the fee, claiming it was illegal and far exceeded the cost of collecting taxes. Now, it appears the school district is exploring its options. At meetings this week, the board will consider

Slidell’s Olde Towne transforms for Netflix Christmas movie BY WILLIE SWETT Staff writer

Film crews have descended on Olde Towne Slidell this month for a new Christmas movie for Netflix, transforming the city’s historic district into a small, fictional southern Louisiana town during the holidays. Christmas decorations went up on homes, while businesses were given fictional names, including the Old Town Slidell Soda Shop, which became a bakery called “Sweetie Pie’s and Cakes,” where the main character of the movie works and where cameras were set up filming Monday. The movie, “A Christmas Kind of Love,” is about a town getting ready for its annual Christmas festival, location manager Nick Thomas said. The director, Bethany Ashton Wolf, is from Lake Charles and was familiar with Slidell and thought it fit the vibe of the story, which is set in a “wholesome, small southern town,” Thomas

said. “The town’s been really great and they’re all working with us,” he said. The movie is being produced by Rain or Shine Inc. for Netflix, and there are 24 days of shooting between the beginning of March and the beginning of April. Angela Roques, who co-owns the Old Town Slidell Soda Shop, said she might want to keep the pink and white awning now on her business as a sort of commemoration for the movie this spring. Her shop is supposed to be open again by April 6. Gwendolyn Clement, who lives on Carey Street, said her porch was covered in Christmas decorations and she watched crews PROVIDED PHOTO paint her neighbor’s house green Old Town Slidell Soda Shop was turned into ‘Sweetie’s Pies and Cakes’ and change out the furniture.

While Visit the Northshore collects the permitting paperwork, the parish government and municipalities grant the permits. There have been seven permitted productions in St. Tammany so far this year, Carrow-Jackson said, including two commercials, a reality TV show and four feature films. “Social Spider,” another one of the permitted feature films, was filming in the parish Monday as well, Carrow-Jackson said.

Feds to prosecute accused Bywater arsonist MERGER

Continued from page 1B

Torched bakery van focus of new indictment BY MATT BRUCE Staff writer

Federal authorities have picked up the prosecution of a Bywater man accused of intentionally setting nine cars and a duplex on fire this year in his neighborhood. Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams’ office on Monday refused more than a dozen state counts of aggravated arson and simple arson against 35-year-old Kyle Thomsen, and criminal court records show the case was referred

to federal prosecutors. The action came after U.S. Attorney David Courcelle’s office secured an indictment Thursday charging Thomsen with a single count of arson of property used in interstate commerce, for allegedly torching Bywater Bakery’s delivery van. It was among several vehicles he was accused of setting aflame in the wee hours of Jan. 19. If convicted of the federal offense, he faces a sentence of between five and 20 years behind bars. Thomsen has remained jailed without bail since his Jan. 20 arrest. Thomsen was initially booked on four state counts of aggravated arson of an inhabited building and nine counts of simple arson, after the New Orleans Fire Department

investigated a barrage of suspected arsons. Residential cameras shared with investigators showed a man walking the street tugging on vehicle door handles. The arsonist entered several unlocked vehicles and lit them from inside. The man also torched a duplex in the 3100 block of Dauphine Street. All four people inside the residence escaped safely, and there were no reported injuries, fire officials said. Authorities allege Thomsen ignited blazes along Montegut, Dauphine and Desire streets. Investigators used Project NOLA’s network of cameras to track him to his job at Old Absinthe House in the French Quarter. Police arrested him as he worked behind the bar at the Bour-

bon Street speakeasy. One of the cars Thomsen allegedly burned was a 2018 Dodge Caravan in the 3600 block of Dauphine. Bywater Bakery used the minivan to deliver items from the neighborhood cafe. Federal prosecutors have centered their case on the destruction of that vehicle, according to the single-count indictment. Representatives from the District Attorney’s Office weren’t readily available for comment. Thomsen had no attorney listed in federal court records Tuesday. A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to say if the government plans to file more federal charges against him as the case progresses.

Man gets 25 years for child porn, animal abuse Sentencing follows emotional testimony from victims BY BOB WARREN Staff writer

A Pearl River man pleaded guilty to charges of possessing child pornography and sexually abusing animals and has been sentenced to 25 years in prison, according to the northshore District Attorney’s Office. Steven Harden entered the

guilty pleas Monday. Judge Alan A. Zaunbrecher, of the 22nd Judicial District, sentenced Harden to 25 years, which he will serve at the same time as a 20-year sentence he received for a 2024 conviction for molestation of a juvenile and computer-aided solicitation, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Zaunbrecher also ordered Harden to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. The District Attorney’s Office said the sentencing followed testimony from victims. “You assaulted me when I was a child, and you were a grown man.

For a long time, I felt powerless. Today the truth won, and today I take my power back,” said one victim, according to the news release. Another victim called Harden a “monster.” “You made my life miserable. Go rot in hell, you don’t deserve sympathy or empathy. You’re a straight monster!” the release said. District Attorney Collin Sims’ office had announced in February 2025 that Harden and a co-defendant, Ashley Carambet, had been indicted with sex crimes involving children stemming from events that occurred between 2018 and

2024. Carambet pleaded guilty to multiple sex crimes earlier this month, including first-degree rape of a victim under 13. She was sentenced to life in prison. “The details of this case are deeply disturbing, involving the exploitation of children and the abuse of defenseless animals,” Sims said in a statement. “While this 25-year sentence runs concurrently with his previous conviction, it ensures this dangerous predator remains removed from our community for a significant period.” Assistant District Attorney Iain Dover prosecuted the case.

Continued from page 1B near the lake. This will be the family’s largest real estate project to date, said Matthieu Robert, who is leading the project with his brother, Marc, and brother in law, Peter Connick, through their real estate company, RCR Ventures. Matthieu Robert declined to say how much the project could cost but estimates it will be in the tens of millions. Over the past few years, the Roberts have purchased the properties on South Claiborne between Calhoun and South Miro streets that will be torn down to make way for the new complex, according to property records. They include a Mid City Pizza location, vacated several months ago, a former First Horizon Bank branch, also vacant, and the Frostop site. The Frostop acquisition, in 2025, also included the restaurant itself, including its recipes and branding. Matthieu Robert said that ensures his family can keep its legacy alive. Demolition and construction are tentatively scheduled to start in late summer and to be finished by the start of classes in August 2027.

The Lot-O-Burger at Ted’s Frostop is their signature burger.

While the project promises to

keep Frostop alive in a new building, it marks the end of an era for the local diner. Frostop, which started out in the 1920s as a chain of root beer stands, came to New Orleans in the mid1950s, courtesy of Ted Sternberg, a New Orleanian who opened the first location shortly after returning from a tour of duty in the Korean War. He would go on to open 14 more across Louisiana and Arkansas, including several in New Orleans. The diners were known for their signature frosted mugs of root beer and oversized Lot-O-Burgers. They were identifiable by their outsized, neon-ringed mugs of root beer that towered over the restaurants. Over the years, several of the locations closed as Frostop gradually lost market share to the growing number of fast-food outlets. Still, the Claiborne Avenue location and a handful of others held on, surviv-

ing downturns, competition and Hurricane Katrina. In 2014, Sternberg died. A group of local investors purchased the Claiborne Avenue location from his estate and kept it going. During construction, Robert said the developers are planning to provide a temporary home for Frostop in a food truck that will circulate campus and the neighborhood. In addition to opportunities to operate the food truck, the existing Ted’s Frostop employees will be offered employment in the prepared foods department at Robert’s Fresh Market, Matthieu Robert said. When the restaurant is ready to reopen in its new location, they will have the option to go back to their old jobs or stay in their new ones. “We want to make sure the workforce is part of this whole transition,” Robert said. “We didn’t want anybody to think they will be out of a job.”

The city agreed to temporarily tive chair, said he was unaware of the legislation, House Bill 795, until stop charging the fee through the

end of 2026 or until the parties reach an agreement. But since then, negotiations have snagged. Last month, the board rejected a settlement offer from the city that would have done away with the 2% fee charged for property tax collections but increased the 1.6% fee charged for sales and use taxes to 7.5%. The city would have also paid the board an undisclosed lump sum. That would have created minimal savings for the board, which still would pay about $11 million per year, Aaron said. The board sent a rebuttal offer in late February. Bill Aaron, an attorney for the board, declined to comment on the specifics of the offer but said he has not received a response from the city. At the same time, HB795, filed by State Rep. Mandie Landry, D-New Orleans, has not yet come up for a hearing in the Legislature. Last year, the district paid the city $2.5 million in fees for sales tax collections. If the city charges the board 5%, as HB795 stipulates, about $7.7 million would be withheld from an estimated $154 million in sales tax collected.

Aaron said the bill was an attempt to “interject into our negotiations.”

A new approach? In its statement sent to staff, Tulane said it hopes to house a mix of graduate and undergraduates in the complex. Tulane declined to comment beyond the statement, but university officials have previously said that even with the new dorms on campus, it still won’t have enough rooms to accommodate those required to live on campus. The South Claiborne project could represent a new approach, as Tulane will act as a long-term tenant and “operate the residential portion of the development as a part of its larger student housing program and also provide on-site security for res-

BOARD

idents, creating additional security for the neighborhood.” Residents have frequently clashed with Tulane over the years due to the noise, trash and parking problems created by students who live off campus. Those concerns appeared to be part of motivation for the new development. “RCR will ensure that the site is designed, in accordance with the city and the neighborhood’s zoning ordinances,” Tulane’s statement said. “The new building will comply with and, in many instances, exceed parking, noise, trash, height and density requirements, according to RCR, ensuring professional operations, maintenance and security.” The area does not require a conditional use permit or zoning waiver because it is zoned for commercial, Robert said.

End of an era

Could state step in? If the state agrees to collect the board’s taxes, it could mean a better deal for the district. The Louisiana Constitution specifies that the Department of Revenue cannot collect a fee if it collects any taxes on behalf of the city of New Orleans. At present, the Department of Revenue doesn’t collect sales tax for any school districts, but under state law has the authority to collect taxes for any taxing body. Most tax collecting bodies around the state take around 2% or less of tax collections. Jefferson Parish, where the Sheriff’s Office takes 9% from taxes it collects for the school district, is an outlier. The board’s resolution states “the imposition of excessive collection fees would effectively divert millions of dollars annually from Orleans Parish classrooms, directly harming students, educators, and school communities.” The Board’s Budget and Finance Committee approved the resolution on Tuesday. The full board will consider it on Thursday.

KIPP New Orleans told Douglass families last week that beginning next school year A-rated Douglass and C-rated Kennedy would operate as one school at Kennedy’s Gentilly campus under the Kennedy name. Board members voted to approve the dissolution of the Kennedy’s charter agreement and changed the agreement for Douglass to reflect Kennedy’s name and address. The contract changes will allow the new school to retain the A rating that the state awarded Douglass last year. Board members Katie Baudouin, Gabriela Biro, Leila Jacobs Eames, Nolan Marshall and Carlos Zervigon voted to approve the merge. The matter will be considered by the full board on Thursday, when the vote is unlikely to change. Board members KaTrina Chantelle Griffin and Olin Parker abstained from the vote. Parker said he abstained because his wife is a principal at a KIPP school. The board also approved KIPP’s plan to move KIPP Central City Primary students to the KIPP Central City Academy campus at 2514 Third St., and consolidate the two schools. The vote was largely a formality after KIPP New Orleans’ board of directors decided earlier this month to pursue the merger. The parish School Board is required to approve any changes to charter agreements. Baudouin said she supported the merger but questioned its timing. The main round for districtwide enrollment closed in January, so choices are limited for Douglass students who don’t want to attend Kennedy. “There’s a reason we try to get these decisions earlier in the school year than later,” Baudouin said. “I don’t think this was done in the best way possible.” KIPP New Orleans CEO Rhonda Khalifey-Aluise acknowledged the challenging timing but said consolidations are “hard no matter where and when it happens.” She also thanked KIPP families for their support despite an outcry from some community members and alumni. “This combination allows us to bring our students together and serve them in a much better environment,” she said, adding that the Douglass-Kennedy and Central City mergers moves more than 1,000 students out of low-quality campuses and helps shrink the school system’s footprint. “This helps us all, not just KIPP New Orleans but kids across the city.” Griffin noted that Douglass’ closure leaves the entire 9th Ward with just one high school, G.W. Carver High School. The Lower 9th Ward lost its remaining high school when Dr. Martin Luther King High School shut down last year.

Public show of support About a dozen Douglass students and a handful of school staffers and KIPP administrators attended Tuesday’s meeting. All the speakers spoke in favor of the merger. Douglass principal Towana Pierre-Floyd commended students for putting up with a crumbling building, broken plumbing and contractors in the hallways. Several students said they hope the combined schools will have stronger sports teams and a better facility. “Having facilities that match the level of the program would make a big difference,” said Douglass student Destiny Dright, “not just for current students, but for future students.” Douglass parent Deirdre Andrews told the board she was initially hesitant about the move, but was reassured that Douglass’ programs would move to Kennedy. “To hear that it’ll still be in place,” she said, “I’m ready.” Douglass student Annisa Allen said change is difficult but she’s optimistic about the merger, which she said will bring together the best of both Douglass and Kennedy. “We’re not losing anything here,” she said. “We can only gain.”

Deborah, age 67, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully at home on March 16th, surrounded by the love of her family. Born in San Diego, California, Deborah later made her home in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, where she built a life defined by love, warmth, and a deep appreciation for the natural world. For 45 wonderful years, she shared a devoted and enduring marriage with her husband, Gary. Together, they created a home filled with laughter, adventure, and unwavering love. Deborah was a proud and devoted mother to four daughters and a cherished grandmother to nine grandchildren, who lovingly knew her as "Nonnie." Her family was the center of her world, and she poured her heart into every moment spent with them. She especially treasured time spent rock hounding with her grandchildren and family, always turning simple moments into lasting memories. She had a special gift for nurturing life in all its forms. She adored animals and plants of every kind, tended to gardens that bloomed as brightly as her spirit, and never met a stray she wouldn't take in and love as her own. Her passion for nature extended to the wilderness, where she found peace camping beneath the stars and exploring new places on family trips. Deborah had a rare and beautiful way of connecting with others; she befriended everyone she met and truly never met a stranger. Known for her boundless energy and love of life, she was the heart of every gathering. She took great pride in creating her beautiful indoor and outdoor Christmas displays and joyfully hosted her beloved annual Hot Cocoa and Santa Party. She also made it a tradition to host New Year's Eve celebrations, creating a space where she could ring in the new year surrounded by her girls, while welcoming friends and their children for a warm, family-friendly celebration. Whether planning a holiday feast, hosting a backyard gathering, or organizing a spontaneous adventure, she brought people together with her kindness, creativity, and infectious laughter. She had a remarkable way of making everyone feel welcome, loved, and at home. Deborah will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her generosity, compassion, and the joy she brought into the lives of all who knew her. Deborah is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, Gary Boudreaux; daughters, Breanna Bergeron (Daniel), Amandalyn Hoover (Michael), Cassandra Veillon, and Darralann Phenis (Josh); grandchildren, Kaeden, Landen, Cohen, Kroy, Alyssa, Berkley, Gavin, Charlotte, and Julietta; brothers, Butch Miller and Robert Miller; nephews, Blake and Gavin; along with stepmother, Judy Miller.

Gallaspy, John Norman

Samuel Lee Franklin en‐ tered eternal rest on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at the age of 92. Samuel, also known as “Sam, Mr. Sam, and Sammy Lee", was born in Tunica, MS and resided in New Orleans, La. for many years. Samuel, a very humble man, was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, great-grand‐ father, uncle and friend. Samuel frequently used a term of endearment when speaking with family and friends, and that term was “Baby”. He called almost everyone “Baby”. It made you feel special, loved and appreciated. Samuel worked as a delivery driver for Eckerd Drug Store until his retirement. Samuel was very well known and re‐ spected throughout the Black Pearl neighborhood, where he lived for many years before moving in with his daughter Kim. If you ever visited Samuel at St. Margaret’s Nursing Home, before you left, he would tell you what snacks to bring him on your next visit. He loved his sweets! The staff at St. Margaret adored Mr. Sam and spoiled him with some of his favorites, such as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and by play‐ ing his favorite gospel hymns on their cell phones. Bro. Samuel was baptized at Second True Love Missionary Baptist Church by Rev. Dr. Lilton McQuarter, Sr. He attended church services regularly until his health prevented him from doing so. Bro. Samuel believed in serving the lord and he traded in his cross, for a crown. Today, we honor Samuel as he rejoices with his loved ones in Heaven. Samuel was preceded in death by his wife, Anne Franklin, parents, Samuel, Sr. and Carrie Franklin; daughter, Arendell “Kim” Franklin; sons, Alvin Franklin, Sr., Kary Franklin, and Leonard Franklin; and his nephew, Darryl Hughes. Survived by his devoted daughter, Cyn‐ trell Hudson; stepson, Louis Booker; sister, Doretha Hughes; nephew, Marvin Hughes; grandchil‐ dren, Ameca, Ty’Amber, To‐ carra, Latrell, Lyndrise, Karyante, Shadie, Alvin, Jr., Isiah, Justin, Skyler, Janee, and 9 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by daughters-in-law An‐ and toinette Franklin Doretha Franklin; god‐ daughter, Katherine Veals and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

John Norman Gallaspy of Bogalusa, Louisiana, passed away peacefully at Our Lady of Angels hospital on March 21, 2026. John was born on November 8, 1932, to the union of Francis Norman Gallaspy and Hazel Weeks Gallaspy. At the age of three, John's mother died of postoperative complications. His father remarried Mary Leigh Marshall of Stonewall, and this union would give John a wonderful, loving mother and later, two beautiful sisters, Kathleen and Virginia. John enjoyed a happy childhood in rural DeSoto Parish but endured the hardships of the Great Depression and the fear and uncertainty of World War II. The family farm provided John the opportunity to pursue his passion of growing watermelons. With the assistance of his father, John planted his first watermelon patch at the age of 10 in 1943. Given the war, commercial fertilizer and fuel were scarce, but John made do with barnyard fertilizer and the family horse. His first patch produced several varieties of melons, including the Keckley Sweet and the Dixie Queen, one so large that he was unable as a young boy to carry it out of the patch. At the age of 15, John graduated from Pelican High School and enrolled at LSU as one of the youngest students on campus. He majored in history with a minor in English, was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity, and was active in the Corps of Cadets, serving as the company commander his senior year. On graduating, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Field Artillery. After additional training, John was deployed to Korea in the fall of 1952, serving as a forward observer for the 39th Field Artillery Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment of the Third Infantry Division. He was involved in intense, often hand-to-hand combat and on one occasion when his position was overrun by enemy forces, John was forced to call in artillery fire on his own position. During another battle, an enemy mortar round impacted right in front of him, lifting John off the ground and leaving him with permanent deafness in one ear. He later participated in the Battle of Outpost Harry, one of the last major engagements of the Korean War. Fighting at night under heavy mortar fire, U.S. and Greek troops defended this strategic position from repeated attacks by the Army of the People's Republic of China. More than 50 years later, one of John's fellow officers wrote him a letter of gratitude for his contribution to this battle. John's comrade explained that he had been severely wounded and as he lost consciousness, the last voice he heard over his radio was that of Lt. Gallaspy, himself under fire, calmly and precisely directing artillery fire. The officer believed John's accurate, unrelenting fire support not only saved his life and many others, but also played a significant role in the U.S. and Greek forces retaining control of this critical outpost. For his service in the battle, John was awarded the Bronze Star for Valor in Combat. After the war ended, John was accepted into LSU Law School, where he served as student body president and was inducted into the Law School's Hall of Fame. As graduation neared and he began interviewing for jobs, a friend set him up on a blind date with Dixie Nell Yates. They fell in love and were married in June of 1958. They remained married for almost 60 years until Dixie's death in 2016.

As graduation neared and he began interviewing for jobs, a friend set him up on a blind date with Dixie Nell Yates. They fell in love and were married in June of 1958. They remained married for almost 60 years until Dixie's death in 2016. John and Dixie initially resided in Lake Charles, but the happy couple soon moved to Bogalusa, where they raised their three sons, Whit, Gardner and Lee. John became the Chief Prosecutor for Washington Parish under District Attorney W.W. "Squinch" Erwin, Bogalusa City Attorney under Mayor C.P. Verger, and City Attorney for the village of Sun under Mayor LuLu Mizell. Proud to be a "small town lawyer," John's civil practice included a wide range of legal services, including litigation, real estate, successions and wills. He and his longtime law partner, Mickey Paduda, and their staff, Rachel Pierce, Freddie Tourne and Anita Lavinghouse, became a cornerstone of the legal community while developing lifelong friendships with each other and their clients. One long time client was so appreciative of John's assistance over their many years that he took the unusual step of publicly expressing his gratitude in a local newspaper, writing in a letter to the editor that John was "an ever-ready presence" in their lives and a "true gentleman and family man and great lawyer." After practicing law for almost 60 years, John retired in 2016. As much as John enjoyed practicing law, it was often correctly said that he would rather be known as a champion watermelon grower. It was not uncommon to see John donning a lightweight, seersucker suit as he practiced law during the day and transitioning to wellworn dungarees in the evening as he tended to his beloved watermelon patches. His melons won grand champion awards at the state watermelon festival in Farmerville and were sold for many years at Travis' Supermarket in Bogalusa. But his focus was never on competitions or making money - he most enjoyed the time outdoors, spending time with fellow farmers like Mickey Murphy, and giving away the vast majority of his crop to friends and family. In a letter to a friend just last year, John cited a favorite author, Mark Twain, when he said: "When one has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. It was not a Southern watermelon that Eve took; we know it because she repented." John was an active contributor to the community and garnered numerous honors over the years, including Citizen of the Year and serving as Grand Marshall of the 2023 Washington Parish Watermelon Festival parade and the 2026 Krewe of MCCA parade. He was an active member of Elizabeth Sullivan Memorial United Methodist Church, Mill Town Players, Rotary Club, the American Legion, and the honorary 40 and 8. Another of John's passions was John Deere tractors. During the aforementioned parades, he was much more satisfied driving on one of his tractors, towing one of the floats, than taking part in other aspects of the festivities. In 2014, as part of the City of Bogalusa's 100th anniversary, he wrote an extensive, 300-page history of the city entitled, "Bogalusa, the City that Refused to Die." In his eloquent manner, John said at the time: "As we all know, we have a rather unique history. The industrial aspects of it have been documented a good bit. Our sawmill has made history all over the world. I wanted to do something that would give readers a glimpse into the personality of the community."

Safety that lets you enjoy the little things. John and Dixie initially resided in Lake Charles, but the happy couple soon moved to Bogalusa, where they raised their three sons, Whit, Gardner and Lee. John became the Chief Prosecutor for Washington Parish under District Attorney W.W. "Squinch" Erwin, Bogalusa City Attorney under Mayor C.P. Verger, and City Attorney for the village of Sun under Mayor LuLu Mizell. Proud to be a "small town lawyer," John's civil prac-

If a visitor saw a title that piqued interest, it was theirs to take home to enjoy. Christmas Eve at the Gallaspy home found John in front of the fireplace reading Dickens tales to family and friends, conveying the joy of the season captured in "Mr. Wardle's Christmas Party" and the wages of Gabriel Grub's cold heart in "The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton." He appreciated old movies as well, particularly those featuring W.C. Fields, and he became a devotee of Turner Classic and other vintage movie channels in his later years. After Dixie's death in 2016, John met and married Martha Moak. They enjoyed their golden years by visiting friends, taking trips to Mobile, attending Sun Methodist Church, and spending time with family. John was predeceased by his wife of almost 60 years, Dixie Yates Gallaspy; his parents, Francis Norman Gallaspy, Hazel Weeks Gallaspy, and Mary Leigh Gallaspy; his younger brother, Jerry Weeks Gallaspy; and his cousin and close friend, Mary Rives Gallaspy. John is survived by three sons, John Whithurst Gallaspy (Stacy), Gardner Weeks Gallaspy (Lori), and Leland Redding Gallaspy (Tonya); eight grandchildren, Caitlyn, Connor, Marianna and Molly Gallaspy (Whit); Will and Emily Gallaspy (Gard); and Caroline and Grant Gallaspy (Lee); and his two sisters, Kathleen Myers and Virginia Garlington. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the staff at Our Lady of Angels Hospital, St. Tammany Parish Hospital, Our Lady of the Lake Hospital and the sitters and loved ones who provided invaluable assistance and care during John's final weeks. The final services will be held at Superior Avenue Baptist Church on North Columbia Street in Bogalusa. The funeral will be on Thursday, March 26th, from 11:00 to noon. Visitation will be on Wednesday, March 25th, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and again on Thursday, March 26th, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Graveside services will be handled in the Pelican Cemetery in Pelican, Louisiana, on Friday, March 27th, at 10:30 a.m. Pallbearers are Michael "Micky" Murphy, Walter S. "Buddy" Adams, Judge Donald M. Fendlason, Henry Harrison, John Connor Gallaspy, Grantlin Yates Gallaspy, and John Wilson Gallaspy. To honor John's memory, the family requests donations to Sun Methodist Church, Superior Avenue Baptist Church, Holly Grove Methodist Church, or 40 and 8 Nursing Scholarships.

Guillory, Earline Ord

traveled the world, but he enjoyed many past times, including golfing, fishing, playing cards, following his hometown teams—the Cincinnati Reds and the Cincinnati Bengals—and, most especially, creating lasting memories with his beloved nieces and nephews. Though they had no children of their own, they opened their home in Bellbrook, Ohio, as a place of love, laughter, and welcome. It became the heart of countless gatherings, celebrations, holidays, and summer vacations, with "Uncle" Bob, at the center of many of our happiest childhood memories. The family would like to thank the entire staff of Heritage Mannor of Mandeville for loving and caring for him the last 5 years, and St. Catherine's Hospice for providing care and comfort in his final days.

Hermetz, Hugo Robert

Hugo Robert Hermetz Jr., entered eternal peace, on Friday, March 13, 2026, at the age of 93. He was born in Dayton, Ohio, on December 31, 1932, living in Ohio while he worked, before retiring and moving to Mandeville, LA where he resided there for the last 34 years. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 61 years, Marian Savoie Hermetz; his parents, Helen and Hugo Robert Hermetz, Sr; and his sister, Janet Sayer. He is survived by his brother, John Michael Hermetz (Annette) and generations of nieces and nephews. He served honorably in the United States Coast Guard. He spent his entire 42-year professional career working for General Motors, starting as an apprentice toolmaker, before retiring as senior executive. Robert and Marian traveled the world, but he enjoyed many past times, including golfing, fishing, playing cards, following his hometown teams—the Cincinnati Reds and the Cincinnati Bengals—and, most especially, creating

Mack Douglas Kraemer, known affectionately as Doug to his friends and loved ones, passed away on March 13, 2026, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Born on January 25, 1953, in Pon‐ chatoula, Louisiana, Doug's gentle soul and loving na‐ ture touched the lives of all who knew him. Doug spent his life bringing out the beauty in others, both through his work and his warm demeanor. As a tal‐ ented hair stylist and col‐ orist, he dedicated his ca‐ reer to perfecting his craft. His meticulous nature shone through as he care‐ fully recorded each client's hair formula, ensuring their next visit would be just as perfect as the last. His skill and dedication to his clients earned him a reputation of excellence, and he had the privilege of working with notable ﬁg‐ ures such as Lily Tomlin and Raymond Burr during his time in Colorado. Doug's life was a testa‐ ment to the beauty that can be created both in art and in human connections. Beyond his professional achievements, Doug's life was rich with love and companionship. He shared a beautiful partnership of 25 years with Gerald "Jay" Daussin, Jr., whose life was deeply intertwined with his own. Together, they cre‐ ated a world ﬁlled with joy, understanding, and mutual support. He was a cher‐ ished brother to Maxine Hoover and her husband Victor Kenneth, Linda Erdey and her husband Rodney, Steven Kraemer and his wife Rhonda, and Stanley Kraemer. He was preceded in death by his brother Paul Jenkins and his parents, Mack and Mil‐ dred Kraemer. Those who knew Doug will remember him for his gentle spirit and loving heart. As we say goodbye to Doug, we cele‐ brate a life well-lived and a legacy of kindness that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to cross his path. His memory will be cher‐ ished and kept alive in the stories shared by friends and family alike. A Celebra‐ tion of Life will be an‐ nounced at a later date and time. Memories and condolences can be shared online at green‐ woodfh.com.

OUR VIEWS

‘Slammers’ also slammed La. auto insurance ratepayers Vast criminal conspiracies are, despite the public fascination with them, rare. When one is real, it’s unusual to get a true, detailed and vivid picture of the players and how they operate. But that’s what happened over the last several weeks in New Orleans during the blockbuster trial of two attorneys who were at the center of a sprawling scheme to defraud trucking and insurance companies by conducting staged wrecks and then suing the big-rig firms for damages. What’s more, this conspiracy operated alongside an ongoing debate about Louisiana’s sky-high automobile insurance rates. In 2025, a package of insurance reform bills passed the Legislature aiming to reduce what supporters argued was state juries’ affinity for awarding large jury verdicts to those injured in these wrecks. Trial lawyers balked, but after this trial, it’s hard to argue that something was very amiss in a system where some saw profit in faking crashes for insurance payouts. The way the scheme worked is this: “Slammers” would pack a car with passengers and then head out on the interstate, where they would crash into a truck. They would then tell the police it was the trucker’s fault. One slammer would then direct the people in the car to attorneys like Vanessa Motta and Jason Giles, who sued on their behalf, often netting big settlements. One of those slammers, Cornelius Garrison III, was shot dead at his mother’s house in 2020 after he began cooperating with federal investigators. Another slammer, Ryan “Red” Harris, pleaded guilty to helping arrange the killing. A disbarred attorney, Sean Alfortish, is also charged in the killing but has not yet gone to trial. The trial, which ended last week in guilty verdicts for Motta and Giles, was full of the sort of bombshell testimony and wild twists that are more at home in a network procedural than they are in the staid federal courtroom. But apart from the lurid narratives, the case does shine a light on Louisianans’ dealings with automotive insurers. Jurors were asked during jury selection about their histories with their auto insurers, prompting at least one of them to call insurance a “money grab.” Another complained that his insurance company had increased his premium after an accident, even though the other driver was at fault. Prosecutors in the trial said the scheme went on for so long and involved so many wrecks — before Motta’s and Giles’ trial, almost 50 people had pleaded guilty in the case — that it could have affected insurance premiums across the state. One slammer even apologized from the stand for his contribution to the state’s high rates. We are glad, of course, to see these fraudsters caught and brought to trial. And we certainly hope that eliminating this vast criminal conspiracy will also affect rates, even if just a little bit.

Public shouldn’t Lafitte levee district board’s new leaders make a difference delude itself to Recent information uncovered by new leadership at the Lafitte Area Independent Levee District, or LAILD, raises serious concerns about the district’s financial condition, past contracting practices and — most importantly — the level of hurricane protection currently provided to residents. At present, the levees being constructed in the Lafitte area are approximately 7 feet high. That level of protection is simply inadequate for families who live in one of Louisiana’s most vulnerable coastal regions. The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority has indicated that a ring levee system approximately 12 to 14 feet high, built to modern hurricaneprotection standards, would provide significantly stronger and more reliable protection for the region. Similar systems have already been construct-

ed south of the Houma-Thibodaux area and near New Iberia. Based on CPRA’s guidance, the path forward for LAILD is clear. The district must continue working on existing tidal levees while also planning and constructing a 12- to 14-foot ring levee system to protect homes, businesses and infrastructure from major storms. I respect the service of past LAILD board members. At the same time, the current board is made up of dedicated residents from Lafitte, Crown Point and Barataria who are bringing new energy, transparency and accountability to the district. Working with CPRA, their goal is simple — build levees that truly protect the community.

support Iran war

So Cal Thomas says we should ignore our opinions on whether the Iran war is justified and blindly support it because that would increase our chances of winning. That position is inconsistent with democracy and in line with autocracy. He also states that “a victory by U.S. and Israel would likely decapitate the ayatollah regime.” Anyone who has been following the war knows that significant regime change is not going to happen. When President Donald Trump declares an end to the war in the next few weeks and declares “victory,” the whole disastrous war will have been the product of an inept and morally bankrupt administration, not a constituency voicing their opinion, as a true democracy calls for them to do.

Library volunteers need new home in Tammany Since 1977, the Friends of the Library of West St. Tammany has operated under a singular mission to support the library and community literacy growth. For nearly 50 years, our all-volunteer, 501c(3) nonprofit has worked tirelessly to turn donated books into vital resources for our local libraries. Today, we find ourselves facing an uncertain future and are reaching out to the community we serve for help. Due to the dilapidated condition of our current facility at 1301 N. Florida St., the parish government must end our lease this July. While we understand the necessity of this decision, it puts our mission in jeopardy. The facility we must soon say goodbye to holds wall-to-wall books, movies, puzzles and more in a tightly packed, close to 2,500 square foot area. Every dollar we earn from our monthly book sales and silent auctions goes directly back into the St. Tammany Parish Library system and commu-

nity projects. In just the past five years, we have contributed a total of $39,325 to support summer reading programs, the Covington Musical Garden, the Lee Road branch library renovations, technology upgrades for children’s librarians and the purchase of eAudio Books. Our organization is also deeply invested in our parish’s future. Through the Lisabeth Millard Scholarship, we have awarded $23,950 to St. Tammany Parish graduating seniors. We typically average around $2,000 per monthly sale, and our ability to fund the scholarship and projects for library patrons depends entirely on keeping our overhead low. We are pleading with our neighbors, business owners and local leaders for assistance in finding a new location. We hope to continue our mission, but we cannot do so without the community’s help.

Columnist’s words evoked magic that is Mardi Gras Kateb Shunnar is such a gifted writer. His column, “Mardi Gras is calling. Meet us on the neutral ground,” touched me deeply.

Voters need to check registration before primary Louisiana voters should be aware that the state’s new closed primary system will apply to upcoming federal elections, including the U.S. Senate race. Democrats may vote only in Democratic primaries and Republicans only in Republican ones. Voters seeking flexibility can register as “No Party,” which allows participation in either party’s primary — but only one — and requires remaining with that party through any required runoff. Those previously registered as Louisiana Independents are automatically reclassified as “No Party.” Now is the time to check your registration and make updates at GeauxVote.com by the required deadlines: 20 days before the election online or 30 days by mail or in person. Party primaries are May 16, with any runoff on June 27, and the general election on Nov. 3. Make sure your registration is current so your vote counts.

even say it’s living. It’s more survival.” The president, he adds, is not focused on what matters to young voters — and what they thought they were getting when they backed him. “I agree with his idea of making America great again, but the way he is going about ... it’s not who I thought would be running this country,” Wiest told the Post. “He is really focusing on stuff that pertains to him, that he is mad about, and he does not care about what we are mad about.” Another key group showing signs of “buyer’s remorse” are Latino voters, who usually vote Democratic, but supported Trump by 46% in 2024. Many of them are not MAGA loyalists, but wanted to believe in Trump’s vision. Now, disappointment is setting in, and support for Trump has plummeted to 22%, according to a recent CNN poll. “Like many others, Hispanics were feeling squeezed by inflation and largely blamed it on President Joe Biden,” reports The Economist. “Far from taming prices, Mr. Trump is driving them higher with tariffs and a war of choice in Iran. And far from concentrating on deporting rapists and gangsters, his agents have been rounding up grannies and gardeners ... Small wonder Mr. Trump’s approval rating among them has collapsed.” Trump is still the monarch of MAGA Nation. But for those supporters who are not die-hard devotees — who focus on Trump’s record, not his reputation — a growing number are saying, “No, that’s not what I voted for.” Email Steven Roberts at stevecokie@ gmail.com.

How about this one: “The collection of any taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them.” Coolidge’s economic views are the antithesis of socialism, a failed economic system that is gaining popularity among younger Americans who have never had to live under it. While the late composer Stephen Sondheim would probably have never allowed any of his songs to be used for political ends, one from his musical “A Little Night Music” could fit the thinking and policies of high tax Democrat states. The lyrics include “Isn’t it rich (no pun intended)? Aren’t we a pair (Hochul and Mamdani).” And then the concluding line: “Don’t you love farce (politicians)? My fault, I fear (they never admit error). I thought that you’d want what I want (taxpayers) Sorry, my dear. But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns Don’t bother, they’re here.” They are certainly here and not just in high-tax blue states, but also in Congress. Email Cal Thomas at tcaeditors@ tribpub.com.

America needs immigrants as much as they need liberty’s blessings Two dissimilar government agencies have inadvertently combined to clarify the immigration debate. Stomach-turning excesses by Immigration and Customs Enforcement have turned many Americans’ abstract political preferences into something uncomfortably concrete. And the Census Bureau has demonstrated that the nation needs immigrants as much as they need the blessings of American liberty. Given a clear binary choice — for or against deporting immigrants who are here illegally — most Americans favor deportaGeorge tion. However: One Sunday, a moderately proWill deportation American goes, as usual, for brunch at the neighborhood diner. Jose, who has put waffles in front of this American for 20 years, and who regularly exchanges pleasantries with him about their families, is gone. He has been deported for America’s improvement. Suddenly, the immigration issue has a face, and complexity. President Joe Biden’s choice not to enforce immigration laws poisoned the immigration debate, and led to government behavior today that is deepening distrust of government. The influx during Biden’s four years (8.3 million, more than in the preceding 12 years), torrential and dispersed, has clouded the picture. This, however, seems true: The foreign-born portion of the U.S. population (15.8%) is higher than at any time since at least 1850. But as of 2023, only 27 percent were not authorized to be here. More than half of all immigrants (52%) have become U.S. citizens. Prior to the Biden inundation, most undocumented immigrants had arrived before 2010, 43 percent as of 2020 had been here at least 20 years, about one-third were homeowners, and their 5 million children born here were citizens. Talk of sending them “home” is nonsensical. They are home. For which, give thanks: The Census Bureau reports that between July 2024 and July 2025, the U.S. population grew by just 0.5%, 1.4 million less than in the previous 12 months, primarily because of less immigration. According to the Pew Research Center, during the first six months of this administration, the foreign-born population shrank by more than a million, the first decline since the 1960s. According to the Migration Policy Institute, between 2022 and 2023, for the first time since relevant census data began being collected in 1850, immigration accounted for the entire U.S. population growth. As the U.S. population ages, those leaving the workforce enter Social Security and Medicare. The nation’s birth rate is below the replacement rate, so immigration must replenish the workforce whose tax contributions fund the entitlements. A recent Cato Institute report (“Immigrants’ Recent Effects on Government Budgets: 19942023”) says: Immigrants “generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government.” They “created a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 US dollars,” including $3.9 trillion in savings on interest that did not need to be paid on debt that was not added. Immigrants were, on average, more than 12 percent more likely to be employed than the U.S.-born population. Cato: “In 1994, the immigrant share of government expenditures was 18 percent below their share of the population; in 2023, it was 25 percent below.” In 2023, immigrants constituted almost 18 percent of the civilian labor force, and more than a third of them were in management, professional and related occupations, almost double the 21% in service occupations (e.g., hospitality). In 2023, immigrant median household income ($78,700) was slightly above that of U.S.-born households ($77,600). The Cato data comes from static, not dynamic, accounting: It does not, for example, gauge immigration’s dynamism injection: Immigration — risk-taking for improved opportunity — is an entrepreneurial act. Unsurprisingly, immigrants’ workforce participation rate (66.5%) is higher than that of the U.S.-born population (61.7%), and immigrants’ portions of U.S. patents and start-ups exceed immigrants’ portion of the population. As Cato notes, many illegal immigrants who are employed under borrowed or stolen identities have taxes withheld by employers but are ineligible for many government benefits. And they are less likely than others to file returns in order to claim refunds. This is another reason why Cato says: “Immigrants have created an enormous fiscal surplus for the US government … The $14.5 trillion in savings from immigrants is the equivalent of 33 percent of the total inflation-adjusted combined deficits from 1994 to 2023 without immigrants.” That fellow having brunch at the diner will still get his waffles. But he will miss Jose, and millions like him, in more ways than he can easily imagine. Email George Will at georgewill@washpost.com.

Sheppard, Julie

Julie B. Sheppard, born November 30, 1959, passed away December 5, 2025 after a period of declining health and a heart forever changed by the loss of her husband. She leaves behind a legacy shaped by love, humor, resilience, and a deep devotion to the people she cherished most. To those who knew her best, she was lovingly called "Moozie," a nickname that captured her warmth and spirit. Julie spent 48 beautiful years married to the love of her life, Charles L. Sheppard Jr. ("Chuck"). Her world was never quite the same after his passing, and it brings peace to imagine them reunited—hand in hand, whole again in Christ's embrace. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Kathy Balfanz; her mother, Jane Adams; her father, John Balfanz; and her muchloved stepfather, R.E. Adams. Julie's greatest joy was her family. She leaves behind her three children—Charles L. Sheppard III (Leonore), Jessica Polk (Joe Polk), Jennifer Bell (Mark Bell), "adopted daughter"Victoria Charbonnet (Jody), and her grandchildren Jesse E. Fields, Jr. and Katlyn Sheppard—each of whom carry forward the lessons she lived every day: kindness, strength, humor, and love without conditions. Later in life, Julie embraced being a devoted cat mom to her cats, each one a loyal companion and guardian full of love and mischief. Julie was a gifted gar-

love without conditions. Later in life, Julie embraced being a devoted cat mom to her cats, each one a loyal companion and guardian full of love and mischief. Julie was a gifted gardener with a true green thumb. Her garden was her refuge—a place where she found peace and connection. As she wished, Julie will be interred with her husband at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery, with services to be held April 6, 2026 at 10am. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor Julie's spirit by considering a donation to your local no -kill animal shelter or the Northshore Humane Society—a tribute she would have deeply appreciated. Julie's presence will be missed every day, yet the love she poured into her family and friends continues to shine through the people she shaped. Her memory endures in the stories, smiles, and moments she leaves behind. A service will be held from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM on 2026-04-06 at Southeast Louisiana Veterans Cemetery, 34888 Grantham College Drive.

Spring awakening Kiffin era begins at LSU with first day of spring practice BY WILSON ALEXANDER Staff writer

As he walked onto the field for his first spring practice at LSU, Lane Kiffin took a moment to reflect. He reminded himself how grateful he felt to be the head coach and the responsibility that comes with that position. “That was pretty cool just thinking of that,” Kiffin said. Once he got on the field Tuesday morning, Kiffin spent the beginning of practice watching the offensive players as a wide variety of music boomed from the loudspeakers. The first 25 minutes were

open to the media, and Kiffin looked on as a group of transfer quarterbacks threw to their new wide receivers and tight ends, some of the first moments of a remade team coming together. After LSU spent the past few months going through offseason strength and conditioning and organized team activities, this was the first practice for a group with 59 new players. They were not in pads yet, so Kiffin said it was too early to make any evaluations. And while he thinks LSU assembled a talented roster, he reiterated “that’s a long way away

The only time Tulane did not have a player taken in the NFL draft over the past nine years was 2022, which followed a 2-10 season. Odds are the 2026 draft group will suffer the same fate despite helping the Green Wave win the American Conference and reach its first College Football Playoff. The NFL scout presence was lighter than in recent years for Tulane’s pro day on Tuesday morning at the Saints’ indoor practice facility, with quarterback Jake Retzlaff and offensive tackle Derrick Graham the leading prospects among the 13 players partici- ä NFL draft. pating. Neither is APRIL 23-25, projected as draft ESPN, NFL picks, although NETWORK both are considered possible lateround picks. Retzlaff took part only in passing drills — the same as he did at BYU’s pro day last week — throwing to fellow pro day participants Tre Shackelford and Johnny Pascuzzi as well as Tulane teammate Garrett Mmahat and spring additions Jaylin Lucas and Destyn Hill. “I feel like I threw the ball really well,” he said. “It was jumping off my hand. We practiced a decent amount of time last year in this facility, and we had fun. The lighting is kind of weird for receivers, but other than that, it’s awesome throwing in there. I’ve been training for the last three months now, and it paid off in a lot of great ways today.” The issue for Retzlaff, who trained the past three months in his home state of California, is passing numbers that do not jump off of the page. He threw for 15 touchdowns with seven interceptions last season in his only year with the Wave and completed fewer than 60% of his passes in two seasons at BYU before then. Pro Football Focus recently rated him the No. 17 quarterback and the No. 280 overall prospect in a draft with 257 spots. Retzlaff pointed to his quick

Pelicans falter down the stretch in loss to Knicks New Orleans mathematically eliminated from postseason play

BY ROD WALKER Sports columnist

For the second straight game, the New Orleans Pelicans stood toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. And just like the last time, the Pelicans were unable to close the deal. The Pelicans fell 121-116 to the New York Knicks on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. The loss came three nights after the Pels were unable to put away the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday at the Smoothie King Center. The Cavs are currently fourth in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Knicks (4824) moved into second in the East with the win.

The Pelicans saw their bleak postseason hopes come to an end. With Tuesday’s loss, the Pelicans (25-48) were mathematically eliminated and will miss the postseason for the second year in a row. Zion Williamson led the Pelicans with 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Jeremiah Fears scored 21 points off of the bench. The Pelicans won seven of their last eight home games, but interim coach James Borrego wanted to see that same success on the road. “It’s got to start on both sides of the ball,” Borrego said before the game. “We have to be ready to go offensively and we have to have our own imprint defensively. Our defense has to travel with us. To be a good road team, you have to

take your defense on the road.” That wasn’t the case late in the first quarter. The Pelicans led 28-27 with 2:54 remaining in the opening quarter, but the Knicks closed it out on a 15-0 run to take a 42-28 lead. The Pels responded to start the second quarter with an 18-2 run, holding the Knicks without a field goal for the first five minutes of the quarter. The game was close the rest of the way. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 32 points, including 10 straight points for the Knicks during a crucial stretch in the fourth quarter. The Pelicans faced former teammate Jose Alvarado for the first time. Alvarado, a fan favorite

THREE AND OUT: SCOTT RABALAIS’ TOP THREE TAKEAWAYS FROM LSU’S FIRST DAY OF FOOTBALL PRACTICE

O-LINE EMPHASIS The LSU offensive line’s poor performance played a huge role in Brian Kelly’s demise. Improving it will have a big say in Lane Kiffin’s success here. Kiffin touted the work being done by O-line coaches James Cregg (in his second LSU stint) and Eric Wolford. “I love the combo in that room,” Kiffin said. “When a recruit comes here, that’s two elite line coaches from the NFL.” Kiffin also mentioned adding former Tennessee quarterback Tee Martin as an offensive analyst.

LEAVITT TAKES PART I’m not sure what we expected to see from transfer quarterback and projected starter Sam Leavitt on the first day of spring practices. But he was out there with the other quarterbacks and even threw passes despite coming off season-ending foot surgery in November (many more reps went to fellow transfers Husan Longstreet and Landen Clark). “We expect by the end of the spring he’ll be able to do a lot more,” Kiffin said of Leavitt.

MAN ABOUT TOWN Kiffin has been the toast of Baton Rouge since his arrival: appearing at basketball games, speaking engagements, even local parades. He was eager to say there has been much more time spent working. “Don’t mistake because you see me doing things around the community that there isn’t a relentless pursuit of greatness here and the amount of time we spend in this office,” he said. “It’s the only way, in my opinion, to do it.”

Kiffin praises TE Green, two others BY WILSON ALEXANDER Staff writer

While Lane Kiffin and his LSU staff overhauled the offensive roster heading into their first season, they retained a few players who are expected to start. One of them is junior tight end Trey’Dez Green, and Kiffin highlighted him on the first day of spring practice. “His skill set is ultra-elite,” Kiffin said. “But so is his mindset, and that’s really, really unique to have because they usually don’t coincide.” Kiffin said Boise State transfer safety Ty Benefield and Colorado transfer offensive tackle Jordan Seaton are the same way. Benefield was the second-best defensive back available in the transfer portal, according to 247Sports, and is expected to have a significant role. Seaton, one of the top transfers regardless of position, will start at left tackle. “If you were a scout out there watching, those three guys would stand out from a skill set of ultraelite,” Kiffin said. “But then to know, too, what the scout doesn’t know if you’re just watching, how they work and their mindset.” Seaton was listed at 6-foot-5 and 330 pounds as a sophomore last season at Colorado. He now weighs 307 pounds, according to the LSU roster. Kiffin said there are times when he comes to the facility at 9 p.m. on a Sunday and sees Seaton working out on his own, a quality that he hopes will rub off on other players so it becomes ingrained in the team culture. “I’m happy that Jordan is there to lead by that,” Kiffin said. “To me, when you can have your marquee name players that appear to

The New Orleans Saints are resigning defensive back Terrell Burgess, according to a league source, retaining a steady veteran depth piece in their secondary. Last season was Burgess’ first with the franchise. He appeared in 16 games with the Saints, recording three pass breakups and 22 tackles. Burgess provided some valuable safety depth after the Saints lost opening-day starter Julian Blackmon for the season after Week 1, and Burgess also played more than 50% of New Orleans’ specialteams snaps. Now entering his seventh NFL season, Burgess also has played for the Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders. He spent his 2020 rookie season working under current Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, who then held the same position with the Rams.

LB David to retire after 14 seasons with Buccaneers Lavonte David announced Tuesday he is retiring after playing all 14 seasons of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 36-year-old linebacker was the heart and soul of the Tampa Bay defense, helping the Buccaneers win a Super Bowl by dominating Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 on Feb. 7, 2021. David is one of only five players in the past 35 seasons with 40 or more sacks and 35 or more takeaways. Hall of Famers Jason Taylor, Junior Seau, Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher are the other four. David finished tied with Derrick Brooks for the most tackles (1,714) in franchise history, according to team stats.

Green is entering his first draft-eligible season after catching 33 passes for 433 yards and seven touchdowns last year.

He established himself as a redzone threat with his ability to catch goal-line fades at 6-7, and now he will try to have a breakout season in a new offense. “He doesn’t have another thought besides this is how you do things,” Kiffin said. “In your first year, to inherit a player that

has that, he’s really, really unique that way. And that’s really critical for him in this system because the way he works and how he has moved his conditioning allows you to play more in our system and not have to rotate as much. Now, you can have a really big type of year.”

and so that we’d have more time to get them in shape, too, so they wouldn’t get injured in the conditioning stuff before this. “We’re in pretty good shape that way.”

Continued from page 1C from being a really good team.” “Things don’t happen overnight,” Kiffin said. “It takes a lot of work to get a program up to an elite performing program level. We’re making some first steps, but there’s a ton of work to do.” LSU has 14 more practices over the next month. Here are the top things we learned on the first day.

How much hitting?

Leavitt gets to work Arizona State transfer quarterback Sam Leavitt participated in a limited fashion as he continues to recover from season-ending surgery on his foot last fall. Kiffin previously said Leavitt would not do full-team drills this spring, and sure enough, Leavitt watched Elon transfer Landen Clark lead the first-team offense briefly at the beginning of practice. Leavitt threw when LSU practiced routes on air. At one point, he hit redshirt junior Illinois transfer Malik Elzy in stride down the right sideline on a go ball. He also missed a throw deep downfield. “He’s moving around a little bit, but he can’t do any team stuff,” Kiffin said. “That was really kind of his first time doing much throwing and moving of his lower body. We expect by the end of spring, he’ll be able to do a lot more.”

did not practice. He missed five of the last seven games last season after suffering a broken ankle in late September. He’s expected to start alongside Ole Miss senior transfer TJ Dottery. Weeks did not have any extra support around his ankle, such as a walking boot, when seen the past two days. “Whit will continue to do more as we get going through spring and be cleared for more stuff,” Kiffin said. Florida transfer receiver Eugene Wilson, Clemson transfer Weeks headlines absences defensive tackle Stephiylan Senior linebacker Whit Weeks Green, redshirt freshman de-

fensive end Damien Shanklin and redshirt freshman offensive lineman Solomon Thomas were not seen during the open portion of practice. Green was on the indoor practice field instead, and Thomas wore a walking boot on his left leg Monday at pro day. Kiffin mentioned that starting spring practice in late March gave certain players time to heal. “For the most part, most of them are out there,” Kiffin said. “That was part of going later, so you’d have some guys that had some surgeries, had some things done — smaller ones —

There were criticisms throughout the Brian Kelly era about LSU’s physicality. Players asked him at one point to tackle more in practice when the defense struggled during the 2023 season, and athletic director Verge Ausberry noticed a lack of physicality when he watched the team last season, something that made it difficult to establish the run. So, it was interesting to hear Kiffin’s response Monday when asked about how much LSU will hit in practice. He pointed out rosters aren’t as deep as they used to be because of direct player compensation and the transfer portal, which limits how much live tackling takes place in practice. Coaches don’t want to lose their star players when the backup option isn’t as talented, and Kiffin said he doesn’t practice as much as he used to as a result. But he knows LSU needs to hit. “We appear to be, early, that we’re going to have really good front-line talent guys on our roster, and we’re going to have some depth issues,” Kiffin said. “I’m sure all programs probably feel that way nowadays. So, I think you’ve got to be really careful with how much you do, and you can’t do the old-school way. “As much as I’d like to from a toughness standpoint, you’ve got to be somewhere in the middle.”

HOUSTON — Scottie Scheffler withdrew from the Houston Open on Tuesday, a tournament that was always questionable for him to play because his wife is expecting their second child. Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, has been runner-up at the Houston Open three times, including the last two years when he made it his final stop before going to the Masters. He was replaced in the field by Matt Kuchar. Scheffler, who won the PGA Championship and the British Open last year, began 2026 with a victory in The American Express. His streak of 18 consecutive finishes in the top 10 — which started at the Houston Open last year — ended at the Genesis Invitational with a tie for 12th.

Warriors guard Moody to miss rest of season Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody will miss the rest of the season after a gruesome left knee injury that will require surgery later this week. The Warriors said Tuesday that Moody tore his patellar tendon and underwent an MRI exam that revealed the severity of his injury. He went down with 58.5 seconds left in overtime of Golden State’s 137-131 victory Monday while going for an uncontested dunk off a steal against Cooper Flagg. His knee buckled and Moody went down in agony for several minutes before being carted off the court on a stretcher and giving a wave. Moody, 23, was averaging 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.7 minutes.

Cincinnati hires Calhoun as men’s basketball coach Jerrod Calhoun is returning to the University of Cincinnati after being named the men’s basketball coach Tuesday. Calhoun, who will be formally introduced Wednesday, agreed to a six-year contract, pending board of trustees approval. He will earn $3.7 million in the first year followed by annual raises of $100,000. Calhoun — who led Utah State to the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament — graduated from Cincinnati in 2004 and was a student assistant under Bob Huggins during the 2003-04 season. He also spent five seasons on Huggins’ staff at West Virginia from 2007-12, including when the Mountaineers went to the Final Four in 2010.

Torina earns 600th win as LSU softball coach BY JIM KLEINPETER Contributing writer

LSU softball coach Beth Torina’s 600th win at LSU was efficient if not particularly memorable. The improving Tigers made short work of Louisiana Tech on Tuesday with a rare power display and sharp pitching in a 9-0 victory at Tiger Park. It took only 82 minutes and five innings via the mercy rule for LSU (22- Torina 10) to win its third consecutive game going into a key home Southeastern Conference series this weekend against No. 5 Oklahoma. “I’ve said all along this team is getting better all the time, growing all the time,” Torina said.

“I can’t recall a team that had this much growth. I’m confident they’re continuing to improve. We’re seeing that all the time. “The offense was super aggressive. It was nice to see Jalia (Lassiter) stepping up, right in the beginning hitting a ball through, and some big swings. Super aggressive. I love that for them. It set a good tone for the day.” Lassiter, Tori Edwards and Kylee Edwards each slugged home runs as the Tigers scored four runs each in the first two innings. Three pitchers combined on a two-hit shutout, led by starter Paytn Monticelli. She struck out seven of the 11 batters she faced in three scoreless innings. Freshmen relievers Cali Deal and Ash-

lin Mowery combined for three strikeouts in relief. The defense was errorless, with shortstop Kylee Edwards turning a double play and catcher Maci Bergeron throwing out a runner trying to advance. “I felt super loose and I knew I could trust my defense,” said Monticelli, who transferred from Oklahoma. “Whatever I threw over the plate, my defense had my back. My performances are getting better every week. That’s a product of what we’re doing in the bullpen and what I’m doing with coaches every day.” Tori Edwards got things going with a run-scoring single in the first inning to score Lassiter, who led off with a single up the middle. She also hit a laser line drive that just cleared the wall for her sixth

home run of the season. She has five RBIs in her last three official at-bats. “We’re trying to put together our best softball, putting our heads down and putting the work in,” said Edwards, who has struggled coming off an SEC Freshman of the Year season. “We’re going to keep doing that moving forward.” LSU jumped ahead 4-0 in the first inning. After Edwards’ runscoring hit, Alix Franklin brought one run in on a fielder’s choice, Char Lorenz hit a sacrifice fly and Destiny Harris a run-scoring double. Lassiter led off the second inning with a home run to left, her fourth of the season. One out later, Tori Edwards hit her dinger. After a walk to Franklin, Ruby Fidge re-

placed Tech starter Laney Johnson and Kylee Edwards hit the first pitch for a two-run bomb. Freshman Gradie Appling made it 9-0 in the fourth inning with her first career hit, a run-scoring double, for LSU. Already the school leader in softball victories, Torina credits the players throughout her 15 seasons for getting her the milestone win. “I’m a survivor,” she said with a laugh. “It’s really cool to reflect on my time at LSU and all the players that wore the colors and played so hard for me and this university. “That number is up there because of the women that played here. I didn’t play here. I’ve been fortunate to captain the ship. It’s been a fun ride; I’m very grateful.”

MCA slugs its way past Dominican, wins 9-5A title BY DARRELL WILLIAMS Contributing writer

STAFF PHOTOS BY BRETT DUKE

Chapelle’s Karoline Roche, center, and Abbey Capella, right, celebrate the team’s win over John Curtis on Tuesday in Kenner.

With the District 9-5A championship on the line, Mount Carmel took batting practice before its game Tuesday against Dominican. The Cubs then really got into the swing once the game began. Led by second baseman Emri Roussel’s two home runs, Mount Carmel slugged to a 12-6 victory at the Muss Bertolino complex. It gave Mount Carmel (174, 4-0) its second consecutive 9-5A title, this time unbeaten. “Our first goal basically was to win district,” said Cubs sixth-year coach Curtis Matthews, whose team reached the Division I select semifinals in 2025. “We want to win as many games as pos-

sible, win our playoff games, our semifinal game and get a shot to win state.” All of the Cubs’ hits — including five for extra bases — came in the first four innings. The two-home-run game was the first for Roussel, a junior who leads Mount Carmel in hitting and has three homers. “I was just looking for a strike in my favorite zone — down the middle and outside,” Roussel said. “I just sat back and cranked it.” Twice. Her first home run came in the bottom of the second inning, a two-out shot to center field that gave the Cubs a 5-2 lead. It came after first baseman Nat Johnson led with a single to center and Marlie Belsome followed with a bunt past third base.

Chapelle rallies past Curtis with 3 runs in 7th inning Playing small ball BY SPENCER URQUHART Staff writer

John Curtis rallied for six runs in the top of the seventh inning against Chapelle, but the Chipmunks responded with a rally of their own. Chapelle trailed Curtis for the first time entering the bottom of the seventh in Tuesday’s district matchup at Butch Duhe Park. The Chipmunks had the bases loaded and no outs with sophomore Abbey Capella at the plate, and she hit an RBI single to left field to score two runs for a 10-9 walk-off victory. The win marked the first time Chapelle (17-4) beat the defending Division I select state champion Curtis (11-10) at Butch Duhe. Chapelle entered Tuesday’s matchup ranked No. 1 in the Division I select power ratings and finishes with a 4-1 record in district play. “(Curtis) did a fantastic job of getting back on us at the end there,” Chapelle coach Scott O’Brien said. “I was really proud of our girls with the fight. They just wanted to pass the bats and believed in themselves.” Chapelle trailed Curtis by two runs entering the

final frame. Senior Kelsie Schmidt doubled to lead off the inning, which was followed by a single from Bayleigh Hammer. Av a M a r t i n e z t h e n reached on error, which allowed Schmidt to score and make it a one-run game. Addy Robin went on to draw a walk to load the bases to set up Capella’s walk-off hit. “Everyone else on the bases had provided for us and did their job, so I just knew I needed to go out there and do mine,” Capella said. “Once I saw that pitch I was like, ‘go,’ and then it felt really good when I made contact.” Capella was hitless prior to her walk-off single. Chapelle’s catcher finished 1 for 3 with two RBIs and a run scored. Chapelle led Curtis by four runs heading into the seventh inning. The sixrun rally by Curtis began with a single by Leigha Carter, who scored the first run of the inning after Gracy Hebert drew a bases-loaded walk. Curtis took the lead after an RBI single by Layla Alongi, which drove in Tamryn King and A’shyree Raymo. Another run scored to go up by two after a Chapelle infield error.

Chapelle took the early in the bottom of the first after an RBI single by Mia Impastato plated Taylor Allen. Impastato was 3 for 3 at the plate with five RBIs, including an RBI double to left center in the bottom of the sixth that put the Chipmunks up by four. Liv Nevels and Ava Martinez combined to pitch seven innings for Chapelle. Nevels got the start and pitched 42/3 innings, allowing three unearned runs, five hits and a walk. Curtis committed three errors, resulting in four unearned runs for Makayla Escude, who pitched all six innings for the Patriots. She allowed six earned runs, 12 hits and four walks. “(Chapelle) did a good job hitting the ball,” Curtis coach Jerry Godfrey said. “We made too many mistakes that gave up unearned runs. You can’t win ball games with unearned runs.” Up next for Chapelle is a road matchup against Hahnville next Tuesday. Curtis will be back at home on Monday to face Live Oak.

Mount Carmel pushed the margin to 7-2 in the third. Johnson’s sacrifice fly to left plated third baseman Saige Vichot, who had doubled with one out. Right fielder Claire Murphy scored from second on a two-out fielding error. Roussel then struck again leading off the bottom of the fourth with another home run to center field. Matthews said Roussel hit two over the fence during Monday’s practice at Bertolino. “Yes, I did,” Roussel confirmed. “In the same spot.” She said the new batting practice before the game had the Cubs positive. “We started off with great energy to start the game,” she said. “I think that really impacted our hitting for the game.”

NCAA TOURNAMENT Vandy’s Sweet 16 return powered by more than Blakes ä Notre Dame vs. Vanderbilt.

Bully ball is back Sweet 16 void of mid-majors as power conferences dominate inside BY JOHN MARSHALL AP sportswriter

UConn has shooters and slashers, its offense an array of moving parts all in synch. The central cog is big man Tarris Reed. The 6-foot-11, 265-pound senior has been punishing opposing teams at a record rate, giving the Huskies a huge inside advantage that they’re more than happy to take advantage of as they climb through the NCAA Tournament bracket. “This guy’s a total monster and today he was a real grizzly bear,” UConn coach Dan Hurley said after Reed opened the NCAA Tournament with 31 points and 27 rebounds against Furman. The NCAA Tournament is down to a Sweet 16 void of mid-majors for the second straight season. NIL and the transfer portal have played significant roles in the recent downturn in March Madness upsets. Being a bully also helped. One of the biggest advantages power-conference programs have over mid-majors is their heft, and they’ve been throwing it around a lot more. Power conferences have gone 27-4 against mid-majors in this year’s bracket, outscoring them by an average of 7.7 points in the paint. Florida had the largest margin inside, punishing Prairie View by a whopping 64-10 in the paint for a 114-55 win — the secondlargest margin of victory in NCAA Tournament history.

THURSDAY’S GAMES n No. 11 Texas vs. No. 2 Purdue, 6:10 p.m., CBS n No. 9 Iowa vs. No. 4 Nebraska, 6:30 p.m. TBS/TruTV n No. 4 Arkansas vs. No. 1 Arizona, 8:45 p.m., CBS n No. 3 Illinois vs. No. 2 Houston, 9:05 p.m., TBS/TruTV Arkansas also scored 64 paint points in its opening 97-78 win over Hawaii. Power programs have grabbed 9.3 more rebounds per game against mid-majors, topped by Illinois’ 48-25 advantage in its 105-70 blowout of Penn. The bigger programs also are averaging 12.1 offensive rebounds and 13.1 second-chance points against mid-majors. Illinois had 29 second-chance points on 20 offensive rebounds against Penn, and Arizona converted 16 offensive rebounds into 22 second-chance points in its blowout win over Long Island. In other words, the Sweet 16 got big. “I do think you’re seeing more of it,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “I think the trend will go back to what it’s supposed to be, and that’s a balance between inside and outside.” The perimeter game had been the way to go, thanks to the success of Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. College basketball often mimics the NBA,

and the Warriors’ run of three titles in four years by virtue of Curry and crew’s 3-point shooting trickled down. Based on the notion that three is more than two, college teams started spreading the floor — sometimes with all five players outside the lane — in search of the best shot from the arc. Villanova perfected the style while winning two championships under Jay Wright, and Baylor used a similar tactic to win the 2021 title. But spreading the floor and relying on 3-pointers negate some of the size advantage power-conference programs have over midmajors. One cold shooting night or the opposing team getting hot and that’s it in the one-and-done NCAA Tournament — as college basketball fans saw with the rash of March Madness upsets in previous seasons. Working inside-out creates a dilemma for opposing defenses: play the big man straight up or double team to open up the perimeter game. “That was kind of the wave for a couple years, teams that sold themselves as playing a ‘pro-style’ offense and spread out, but when you play that way, you allow a lot of volatility to enter the equation,” Florida coach Todd Golden said. “When you have the opportunity to recruit bigger, stronger, faster athletes and play a style that allows you to raise your floor with high two-point field goal percentage and get on the glass, that just gives you a better chance to be consistently successful.”

Bitter rivals Iowa, Iowa State in Sweet 16 for the first time BY ERIC OLSON AP sportswriter

It’s a cornucopia of basketball this week in the state that produces the most corn. For the first time, the Iowa State Cyclones and Iowa Hawkeyes advanced to the Sweet 16 of the men’s NCAA Tournament in the same year. Fans for both schools should unite — right? — and declare that for at least a few days, “We all are Cy-Hawks.” Not happening. All Iowans can agree, however, that having two of the last 16 teams standing is pretty cool and that fans of both will be tuned in when the Hawkeyes play border rival Nebraska in Houston on Thursday night and the Cyclones face Tennessee in Chicago on Friday night. Sure, the Lone Star State can boast it has the Texas Longhorns and Houston Cougars in the Sweet 16, and the Great Lakes State can tout Michigan and Michigan State. The Hawkeye State — some surely would prefer to call it the Cyclone State — is different. Just 3.2 million people live across the 300 miles separating the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. The state is best known for sorting out pretenders and contenders in presidential elections with its caucuses, serving as the setting for the

classic baseball movie “Field of Dreams” and, of course, corn and pork production. In Iowa, having two teams in the Sweet 16 just might be the best thing since sliced bread, which happened to be invented by a guy from Davenport. “It’s definitely one of the biggest developments I’ve ever covered,” said Heather Burnside, who cohosts a show on Des Moines sports radio station KXNO. “I think both fan bases are excited we still have basketball to talk about at a time where normally one fan base would be looking at the other one with envy.” The second-seeded Cyclones were first to advance Sunday when, after losing star Joshua Jefferson to an ankle injury minutes into their tournament opener, they rolled past 7-seed Kentucky 82-63. The Hawkeyes topped that accomplishment hours later when, as a No. 9 seed, they knocked out defending national champion and top-seeded Florida, 73-72. Iowa State’s T.J. Otzelberger and Iowa’s Ben McCollum have built their teams in a way that reflects the Midwestern work ethic. What the teams lack in flashiness they make up for in grittiness. “It’s just tough kids,” said McCollum, who was talking about his team but just as easily could have

been describing the Cyclones. “They fight. They compete. They stick with it. They exemplify everything that we’ve wanted in Iowa basketball. They’ve established the foundation that we’ve desperately needed, and couldn’t be any more proud of them.” Beyond their playing styles, the teams are extremely relatable to their fans. The Cyclones’ star point guard, Tamin Lipsey, is a hometown kid from Ames and among three Iowans on the roster. Five other players are from bordering Wisconsin and Minnesota. Otzelberger, who grew up in Wisconsin, is married to Alison Lacey, who played her senior year of high school basketball 20 minutes from Ames in Huxley and was a threetime All-Big 12 basketball player for the Cyclones. McCollum was born in Iowa City and raised in Storm Lake. His wife, Michelle, is an Iowa girl who grew up near Storm Lake, in Albert City. Naturally, the McCollums first met at a high school basketball game. Ben McCollum played college ball at Northwest Missouri State, coached his alma mater to four Division II national championships over 15 years and then led Drake to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in his only season at the Des Moines school.

1:30 P.M. FRIDAY, ESPN

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — AP All-American Mikayla Blakes gets a lot of the attention at Vanderbilt as the nation’s leading scorer. But the Commodores are going to their first Sweet 16 since 2009 because they have so many others helping the Southeastern Conference’s player of the year. There’s the freshman point guard who is a whirling dervish on the court and plays Robin to Blakes’ Batman. There’s the 6-foot-2 graduate forward who stuck around after missing last season with a blood clot issue. And then there’s the 3-point shooter in her third year at Vanderbilt after transferring in from in-state rival Tennessee. It’s coach Shea Ralph’s best team yet in her fifth season at Vanderbilt (29-4). “We are a team, a really, really good team with great pieces,” Ralph said. “Everybody has value. Everybody has a role that they play that’s really important for us to win big games.” Blakes brings the scoring, averaging 27.1 points per game this season and an even better 30.5 clip in SEC play. She also just missed a triple-double in the second round with 25 points, nine assists, 10 rebounds and four steals. “She is a facilitator,” said senior Justine Pissott, the 3-point shooter who started her college career at Tennessee. “She rebounds the ball. “She’s just a great player all around. It’s really important when she finds everybody — there’s not one person she doesn’t miss on the court, and when she misses them, she’ll get them the next time.” Vanderbilt earned a No. 2 seed in the women’s NCAA Tournament with four starters averaging double figures. SEC freshman of the year Aubrey Galvan, generously listed at 5-foot-6, whips passes to teammates, spins in the lane for layups and knocks down big 3s. She’s second in scoring to Blakes with 13.2 points per game and has a season-high of 30 points.

Ralph said they work to put together a team that complements each other and ignored the idea that Galvan was too small to compete in the Southeastern Conference. “What we saw from her, along with the intangible qualities — chip on her shoulder, competitiveness, love for basketball she has — was that she was going to be just fine,” Ralph said. Galvan also led all freshmen in assists and ranked fourth nationally with 81 steals. Blakes said it took all summer and lots of yelling for the Commodores to get on the same page with Galvan. Post players especially had to learn to always be ready for a pass. “If you’re not looking at her, you’re going to get hit in the head with a ball, and it’s happened a lot of times,” Blakes said. “Every time she has the ball, she’s looking to pass.” Sacha Washington is the graduate student who has been with Ralph every step of this journey, returning after a blood clot in her right calf cost her the 202425 season. Now she plays her first Sweet 16 on Friday against No. 6 seed Notre Dame (24-10). The SEC’s active leader in career rebounds grabs 7.9 of them a game and tied the program mark in an NCAA Tournament game with 17 in the first round. Tears flowed Monday night when Washington checked out with a couple minutes left with hugs all around. “Really you never know when you’re going to be done playing,” Washington said. “I’ve been healthy this whole season. So words can’t even explain, but I’m very grateful to be here and I’m very happy.” Ralph appreciates Washington sticking with her in this transfer portal and NIL era. “That kid has really, really, really poured her heart and soul into this program, and we would not be where we are without her,” Ralph said.

SEC

Continued from page 1C basketball. The Huskies have won 52 straight games, including a dominant 53-point win over Syracuse in the second round. UConn has reached the Sweet 16 in 32 consecutive years. UConn will face North Carolina in the Sweet 16. The Tar Heels are one of five ACC teams still playing. The biggest surprise of the group is Virginia. The Cavaliers reached the regional semifinals for the first time in 26 years and became the first team to play in the First Four and get this far. They needed double overtime to knock off Iowa and advance. The SEC isn’t the only conference that will have teams facing each other in the Sweet 16. Minnesota, back in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2005, will play Big Ten foe UCLA. The winner will face the winner of LSU and Duke. Vanderbilt and Notre Dame will square off in the regional semifinals in a matchup of two of the

best guards in the country with Mikayla Blakes and Hannah Hidalgo trying to lead their teams to the Elite Eight. They are both dynamic scorers who can also find teammates for open baskets. Hidalgo is a defensive whiz, leading the country in steals. All five of the AP first-team AllAmericans are still playing, with UConn teammates Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd leading the way. Texas star Madison Booker put on an offensive clinic with a 40-point effort in the second round of the tournament. Fudd had 34 points in the rout of Syracuse. Lauren Betts led UCLA back to the Sweet 16, and Blakes has Vanderbilt in new territory. LSU broke the NCAA record with a 16th game this season scoring more than 100 points. The Tigers face third-seeded Duke in a rematch of their ACC/SEC challenge game that LSU won. The Tigers had scored more than 100 points in each of their first eight games before beating Duke 93-77 on Dec. 4. This is a different Duke team, though, as the Blue Devils have won 23 of 25 games after that defeat.

George returns to Sixers after failed drug test BY DAN GELSTON AP sportswriter

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO BY GREGORY SMITH

Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox, right, argues a call about the base line with ﬁrst base umpire Ron Kulpa during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies on May 26, 2007, at Turner Field in Atlanta. Cox, who was tossed a record 162 times, was ejected from the game during the talk.

Less to gripe about Even with robot umpires, MLB managers will ﬁnd reasons to get ejected BY RONALD BLUM AP baseball writer

TAMPA, Fla. — Kevin Cash isn’t worried that manager ejections will become a relic of baseball’s past just because robot umpires have arrived to settle some debates. “You only get two challenges, right? That can come up in the first inning,” the Tampa Bay Rays manager said. Manager tantrums at umpires have long delighted fans: the Yankees’ Billy Martin kicking and throwing dirt on Dale Scott in 1988, Cincinnati’s Lou Piniella heaving first base into right field in anger at Dutch Rennert in 1990 and the Orioles’ Earl Weaver going face to face with Bill Haller in 1980, each profanely calling the other a liar. But Major League Baseball has given managers less to gripe about in the past two decades. Video reviews began for home run calls in August 2008 and were widely expanded to many decisions for the 2014 season. The Automated Ball-Strike System starts this year to allow challenges to human strike zone calls, dubbed robot umpires. “Manager ejections have been down for a while now because of the replay system,” said Hall of Famer Jim Leyland, a three-time Manager of the Year tossed 73 times over 22 seasons. “I really like the ABS. I think it’s going to be great for the game.” Last year, 61.5% of ejections among players, manag-

The figure included what MLB counted as inappropriate comments and conduct, and throwing equipment in protest. “I’m in favor of anything that allows our technology to play in this game,” Cash said. “We have so much of it. Why not use it?” Each team gets two challenges per game, and a club keeps its challenge if successful. A team out of challenges gets an additional one in each extra inning. “You’re going to take out the argument of balls and strikes initially,” Minnesota Twins manager Derek Shelton said. “I think the chal-

lenge is going to be after the challenges go away, how managers are and what they do? But I do think that there is going to be probably less general complaining about balls and strikes in the early going.” Aaron Boone of the Yankees has led or tied for the most ejections in four straight seasons, and his nine in 2022 were the most since Atlanta’s Bobby Cox was tossed 10 times in 2007. Cox was thrown out a record 162 times, followed by John McGraw (121), Leo Durocher (100), Weaver (96), Tony La Russa (93) and Bruce Bochy (89). Cincinnati’s Terry Francona, starting his 25th season in a big league dugout, leads active managers with 54.

Boone, beginning his ninth season, is second with 46. Boone is less concerned over whether his dugout dissents will dwindle and more focused on keeping his players locked in if a challenge goes against them. If an umpire calls strike three to strand the bases loaded and the pitcher pumps a fist and bounds off the mound, how will the pitcher quickly regain composure if ABS reverses the call and forces a 3-2 offering? “It’s a whole new thing that pitchers have never dealt with. “That’s an emotional thing you’ve got to deal with,” Boone said. “That’s something we’ve already addressed, same with the hitters to a lesser degree: that reset. How do you clear the mechanism?” Bobby Valentine, who managed three major league teams over 16 seasons, will be honored by the New York Mets this May with a giveaway promotion commemorating one of his 44 ejections. After he was tossed by Randy Marsh on June 9, 1999, Valentine returned to the dugout with a fake mustache fashioned from eye black and sunglasses. Valentine said players have evolved past the point where a manager could spark his team with a histrionic argument. “I found that by the end of my career that that was only entertainment,” he said. “It didn’t fire anyone up except for my wife, who was worried about the fine that I was going to get.”

He spent the previous four seasons at Troy, exhibiting his athletic ability by catching a touchdown pass in a 2023 bowl game, and transferred to Texas A&M in the spring of 2024 before rejoining Sumrall and his staff with the Wave. Graham, who does not appear among the top 20 tackles on draft projections, trained for pro day in Franklin, Tennessee, near Nashville at D1Combine Training.

He liked his results Tuesday for the most part. “The training helped me a lot,” he said. “In some areas I definitely felt like I achieved what I wanted to. On the jumps I could have done a little bit better, but other than that, I showed them I can move well for my size.” He added he had not had meetings with any specific NFL team but would take part in the New Orleans Saints’ local day for prospects Friday.

Former Wave defensive end Angelo Anderson (Tarleton State) and former Wave linebacker Mandel Eugene (Prairie View) also were there.

CAMDEN, N.J. — Paul George declined to get into the specifics of his failed drug test that landed him a 25-game suspension but said he is mentally and physically ready to help the Philadelphia 76ers with their playoff push over the last 10 games of the season. George will play for the Sixers on Wednesday night against Chicago. The Sixers — who also played the last 13 games without an injured Joel Embiid — went 13-12 in his absence and entered Tuesday night’s games at 39-33 and in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings. George was suspended in late January for violating the terms of the NBA’s anti-drug program. He opened his statement Tuesday at the 76ers’ complex in New Jersey with an apology to the team, its fans and his family for the poor judgment that led to his ﬂunked test. “To let people down hurt more than kind of anything,” George said. He said his choice to take a banned substance was connected to a mental health issue that developed because of an offseason knee injury that limited his production this season. “The most difficult thing is when your body isn’t where you know it needs to be or where it once was,” George said. “That leads and bleeds into the mental side of things, knowing that you’re limited. But for me, I feel good, my body is feeling great. Mentally, I know I’m capable of doing what I can do and what I’ve been able to on the court for years.” George has averaged 16 points in 27 games this season for the Sixers. He had one of his best games of the season in the week he was suspended, a 32-point outburst fueled by nine 3-pointers in a win over Milwaukee. The 35-year-old George signed a $212 million, four-year contract in free agency ahead of the 2024 season. But his first year in Philly was marred by knee and adductor injuries that resulted in the forward having one of the worst years of his NBA career. George averaged 16.2 points in just 41 games, eas-

ily his lowest scoring average in a full season since he averaged 12.1 points for Indiana in his second NBA season. He then had surgery in July on his left knee after he was injured during a workout and missed the first 12 games of this season. “Being a pro athlete takes a toll on you,” George said. “My body wasn’t where I wanted it to be. The expectations to perform because of my body not being where it needed to be, obviously, I’m going to have an expectation for myself. That’s what led to a poor decision at the time.” George said the hiatus gave time for his body to heal from nagging injuries that in turn have improved his state of mind. “These 25 games were just what I needed, I think, for my body,” he said. The suspension cost George — a nine-time AllStar — roughly $11.7 million of his $51.7 million salary, or about $469,692 for each of the 25 games missed. “I’ve said it throughout my career, dealing with mental health, I’m no superhero,” George said. “I’m human and I made a mistake in that moment.” The 2023 MVP, Embiid has missed the last 13 games with a right oblique strain, and All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey has missed nine straight games with a right finger tendon strain. There was no immediate timetable on their returns. George said he’s ready to fill the scoring void and lift the Sixers out of the playin bubble and securely into the playoffs. “I’ve been feeling great, feeling explosive again, feeling strong again,” he said. “I feel like I’m back on that level of being able to perform and be the focal guy and be the scorer.”

A taste of modern New Orleans, culinary connection in the French Quarter

PALM & PINE 308 N. Rampart St., (504) 814-6200 l Dinner Wednesday to Monday, brunch Saturday and Sunday

BY IAN McNULTY | Staff writer There were dishes I insist on getting at Palm & Pine whenever I bring people for their first visit. Where else in New Orleans will they find a steak tartare from a sub-niche of Texas regional foodways or a tuna crudo inspired by a corner store? Palm & Pine is essentially an upscale/casual neighborhood restaurant for the French Quarter, which, at some point, everyone in New Orleans can regard as their old neighborhood. Whether showing visitors around or coming for our own celebrations, spring is rife with such reasons to revisit, and this restaurant feels in sync with the good en- Curry banana ice cream is ergy of the Quarter at its a house standard dessert best. at Palm & Pine. I’ve been here more times than I can remember since it opened in 2019. The dining counter with a view of a busy but confidently calm kitchen is a great spot for a solo meal. Hours that include Monday night often fit my schedule. The vibe is laidback; the cooking is serious.

Inviting, invigorating Amarys Koenig Herndon and her co-chef and husband Jordan Herndon present an exhilarating culinary romp. In their kitchen, local sourcing runs through the Caribbean and Mexico across Texas and around the Deep South before landing squarely in the realm of contemporary Creole. It’s New Orleans cuisine of the moment — personal, original, anchored by a continuity of local flavor.

Basque restaurant opens on Freret BY IAN McNULTY Staff writer

The wood-burning oven is roaring again on Freret Street, though now the tiled dome that once produced pizza for Ancora has been turned to a menu of Spanish flavors, particularly from the traditions of the Basque Country. Dolfy’s (4508 Freret St.) is the new restaurant from chef Adolfo Garcia Jr. and Sophia Petrou Garcia, who also run the Korean chicken and beer hot spot Chi Chi’s (4714 Freret

Uptown pop-up brings back crawfish, daiquiris BY IAN McNULTY Staff writer

The txuleta steak is a centerpiece on the menu at Dolfy’s, a restaurant inspired by Basque wood-fired cooking and pintxos.

Social media can play tricks on us, occasionally surfacing an image from long ago that seems fresh. Perhaps, I thought, that explained the return of Bevi Seafood in my own feed. The local seafood market and restaurant once had locations in Metairie and Mid-City and was among the very best

for boiled crawfish. It’s been just a memory since 2023, when founder Justin LeBlanc closed down the last of them. But Bevi is indeed back, in a new seasonal pop-up form and again boiling some fantastic crawfish. LeBlanc now sets up shop at the former Avo (5908 Magazine St.), the upscale Italian restaurant deep Uptown.

TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press Today is Wednesday, March 25, the 84th day of 2026. There are 281 days left in the year. Today in history: On March 25, 1911, 146 people, mostly young female immigrants, were killed when a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Co. garment factory in New York; the tragedy led to legal reforms for workers’ rights and workplace safety. Also on this date: In 1894, Jacob S. Coxey began a march from Massillon, Ohio, to Washington, leading an “army” of as many as 500 unemployed workers to demand help from the federal government following the Panic of 1893 and ensuing depression. In 1931, in the so-called Scottsboro Boys case, nine young Black men were taken off a train in Alabama and accused of raping two White women; after years of convictions, death sentences and imprisonment, they were eventually vindicated. In 1947, a coal dust explosion inside the Centralia Coal Co. Mine No. 5 in Washington County, Illinois, killed 111 miners; 31 survived. In 1965, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led 25,000 people to the Alabama state Capitol in Montgomery, completing a five-day march from Selma to protest the denial of voting rights to Black Americans. In 1975, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia was assassinated by

his nephew, Prince Faisal bin Musaid. (Faisal bin Musaid was executed for the killing three months later.) In 1990, 87 people were killed when fire raced through the Happy Land social club in New York City. (The fire was set by patron Julio Gonzalez, who had been thrown out of the club following an argument with his girlfriend; Gonzalez died in prison in 2016.) In 1996, an 81-day standoff by the Montana Freemen, an antigovernment militia, began at a ranch near Jordan, Montana. In 2018, 64 people, including 41 children, died in a shopping center fire in the Russian city of Kemerovo in Siberia. Relatives of the dead complained the shopping center’s emergency exits were locked and the mall’s fire alarms didn’t sound. Today’s Birthdays: Film critic Gene Shalit is 100. Activist and author Gloria Steinem is 92. Musician Elton John is 79. Actor Bonnie Bedelia is 78. Actor Marcia Cross is 64. Author Kate DiCamillo is 62. Actor Lisa Gay Hamilton is 62. Actor Sarah Jessica Parker is 61. Baseball Hall of Famer Tom Glavine is 60. Comedian-actor Alex Moffat (TV: “Saturday Night Live”) is 44. Actor-singer Katharine McPhee is 42.

DOLFY’S

Continued from page 1D While the wood oven remains, a renovation for Dolfy’s has transformed the space with a casually elegant feel to the dining room, and a distinct lounge area around the bar. This layout corresponds with the menu (see below). The Garcias have drawn inspiration from the wood-fired steakhouses, cider houses and pintxos bars of Basque Country, with a strong dose of Spanish cocktail culture too.

Amarys Koenig Herndon and Jordan Herndon opened their Palm & Pine restaurant in 2019 after building a following with their Old Portage pop-up.

PALM & PINE Continued from page 1D

Palm & Pine feels vibrant, inviting and inclusive. It’s framed in the old brick-and-plaster bones of a French Quarter townhouse redone in a tropical style, with soft pink and green tones and splashes of color. Underfoot there’s a collage of weathered floor finishes from different eras; all around, there are cookbooks and menus and totems from other local restaurants, underscoring the sense of community and connection that runs through them. Before opening Palm & Pine, the Herndons were each sous chefs at other restaurants and on the side ran a pop-up called the Old Portage just down Rampart Street at the Black Penny bar. Late-night hours and inventive menus made regulars of restaurant and bar staff coming off their own shifts. Their restaurant has become a go-to for hospitality pros around the city (Monday’s service industry night special, with 25% off the bill, doesn’t hurt one bit either).

The rendition of barbecue shrimp highlights the sweet, plump shrimp at Palm & Pine restaurant.

the menu since the beginning too, and it’s a distinctive style. It shows the fresh sweetness of the shrimp, garnished with a peppery butter sauce, not bathing it. You’ll still want to stop it up with a bit of the Dong Phuong bread on the side. A newer addition is parisa, a staple of Medina County, outside of San Antonio, and found practically nowhere else. It’s a steak tartare, made (improbably, but deliciously) with Muenster cheese and fermented chiles. It’s like a hunting camp snack with European roots and some Texas twang, slightly sour and with that animal satisfaction of raw beef.

BEVI

Continued from page 1D Chef/owner Nick Lama closed Avo in December, and the property is now for sale. He and LeBlanc are lifelong friends, and with crawfish season hitting high gear, LeBlanc decided to get back into the game a bit. On weekends, he brings one of his trailer-mounted boilers to the restaurant and serves hot crawfish by the pound from a makeshift counter in the dining room. It’s lushly seasoned with citrus and has a roasted flavor in the pep-

pery spice, behind the sweet tail meat. Bevi was known for exceptionally clean, well-sourced crawfish and this is again evident. The old Avo dining room is still set up, as if for service, but the crawfish is all prepared for takeout. People grab orders for home or head to nearby Audubon Park and The Fly. Also back are Bevi’s daiquiris, always a highlight at the restaurants. These are made with fresh fruit and agave, so they are mellow sweet. A pineapple and rum daiquiri had a little snap of ginger running through it that paired perfectly with the rich crawfish. LeBlanc started out as a fine

Underneath the bird, the snap peas smothered with tomatoes show another strength of the Palm & Pine Kitchen. If an ingredient sounds humble, it is reliably bound for glory. Order any bean dish cycling through the menu for another example. Recently, it was an Indian-inspired red bean chaat that blew me away. New on the menu is a heartsize chunk of swordfish, under a crunchy filigree of rainbow carrots and dappled by a sauce that hits like a buttery hot honey, with a backbeat of fruity fire from Scotch bonnet peppers.

Ice cream and cocktails To end, the coconut lemongrass cream pie, served in the oversized portion of a steakhouse dessert, is sweet and bright and clean. But Palm & Pine also excels with homemade ice cream, and I always want the curry banana flavor. It’s a mellow-sweet adventure of bruleed sugar and spice that has a beguiling similarity to rich chocolate. The wine list is short and accessible, with well-priced Latin American bottles leading the way. The bar is reliably creative. The spicy marg is bright with hibiscus, and the “Palm & Pain” blends earthy mezcal with whiskey and ginger beer under a cloak of juicy tropical sweetness. The Rampart Street location is clutch for downtown destinations this time of year, near the Saenger Theatre and on the edge of the Quarter, when Easter and French Quarter Fest bring out the locals and visitors in droves. This is precisely the kind of modern New Orleans restaurant I’d want them to experience.

The first opened in 2013 in Metairie (the location is now the seasonal seafood restaurant Bon Temps Boulet); the second opened in 2015 in Mid-City (that location is now Porgy’s Seafood Market). He’s fielded enough requests for catering from his old customers that he figured a pop-up would do well. His fans have indeed been turning up. The Bevi pop-ups continue Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. until sellout at Avo through the season (it will not pop up Easter weekend, however).

DEBUTANTE

DELIGHTS!

n To Ski and Hot to Ski Chilly thoughts of the slopes and the warmth of hospitality blended when a debutante foursome stepped into the limelight. Themed “Après Ski: Slope Side with Emma Rose, Eliza, Nina and Susan,” the bash was given by their respective parents, Molly and Kristen Baumer, Catherine and Semmes Favrot, Helen and Charles LeBourgeois, and Courtney and Ted Le Clercq. “Double Black Diamond Glam Attire” was the requested dress for the “Aspen” ado at 1380 Port of New Orleans Place. Kenny LaCour of Grand Events designed and planned the party, which credited See-Hear Productions, Scriptura for the invitations, Brennan Steele for visual graphics, Dunn & Sonner for the winter greenery, and NOLA Woodworks for the ski-related furniture. Mirror balls of various sizes hung above the dance floor and stage, a decorative window opened onto various mountain ranges and European ski slopes — Gstaad, anyone?; the Veuve Clicquot Lounge featured the namesake Champagne and Burgundies; the Après Lodge Bar served even more libations; and a Boogie Booth captured ski lift photos of guests “riding to the top.” The debutantes added their own looks, with Emma Rose Baumer in a Febe mini, Eliza Favrot in a mirror-embellished dress, Nina LeBourgeois in a Ramy Brook silver-disc design, and Susan Le Clercq wearing a gold Rachel Ted and Courtney Le Clercq, Molly and Kristen Gilbert mode. Their moms Baumer were outfitted in eye-catching outfits, while the dads donned velvet dinner jackets with winter scarves. Sporting their own looks were Emma Rose’s brothers, Vincent and Michael, grandparents Shep and Nina Baumer, Heather and Chris Devaney, Heather and Max Masterson, Jenny and Bobby Masterson, Gwathmey and Fritz Gomila, Anne Lynne and Storey Charbonnet, Elizabeth and Brian Carlock, Dana and Rene Baumer, Shep and Maureen Baumer, Bridget and Kory Echelard, Catherine, Lauren and Semmes Favrot Shannon and Grahme Perez, Courtney and Richard Montgomery, Izzy Cabrera, Lilly Munoz, and Kiki Costello. Another brother brace, Tim and Brandon Favrot, joined their sister’s fun, as did grandmother Mary Frances Smart, Sarah and Greg Feirn, Elizabeth and Andrew Wooten, Georgina Peters, Lillian Powers, Denise and Steve Finegan, Lisa and Rob Clark, Sid Lewis, Bessie and Duggan Ellis, Michael Bell and ski-suited Aimee, Barbara and Clark Fitz-Hugh, Stephanie and Black Chaffe, Mary and Grey Cane, and surnamed McCay, Robert, Susan, Penn and Susu. Cooks included Michael and Charles, Helen and Clay LeBourgeois Erin with Cece and Lyons, and Guy and Ann with Lynton and Henry. The food reached culinary heights, thanks to the alpine-inspired menu by Windsor Court and St. James Cheese Company. There were main stations (with the Flammkuchen and Vosges areas), passed sweet bites, and late-night passed treats, such as pommes frites and croquet monsieur sandwiches. Relishing all this gastronomy were LeBourgeois family members, including the mother of co-host Charles, Mrs. William Walter Prentiss, and his stepmother, Mrs. Charles Michael Baumer, Price Le Clercq Claiborne LeBourgeois. Also, Kate and John Werner, Eleanor Ballard, Marley and Michael LeBourgeois, Mr. and Mrs. William Cole LeBourgeois, the William James Kearneys IV, the John Jay Charpentiers, the Joel A. Dondises, the Craig Brewers, the David Gaineses, Drs. Anne and Paul Long, Mrs. Marshall Ballard, Libby and Bruce Hoefer with daughter Elizabeth Grace, Mary Roberts Favor, Olivia Francis, and Kate Bensel.

Johnson figured in the levity, as did the Chris McClanahans with Olivia and Eleanor, the Thomas Daniels with Caroline, Thomas, and Price; the Kershaw Le Clercqs with Will and Peter; Ben Le Clercq with Allston McCrady and son Ned Le Clercq; Xander Fessler; Jenny and Erik Sundell; Jon and Jeanne Canapary; Nicole and Donnie Barnes; Tricia Aucoin; Helen Clare Thompson; Madeleine Kessels; Henry and Mena Morgan with Sarah and Elliott; Helen and Tim Young; Michael Read; and Tina and Barry Kern. Party favors added to the skyscape with light-up snow hats, both snowflake and disco ball headbands, “diamond”-encrusted sunglasses, and necklaces. Purveying the sounds was Downtown Band from Nashville that packed the floor, nonstop, for hours. A choice number was “Girls Just Want to have fun,” and from the looks of the “Slope Side” set, Emma Rose, Eliza, Nina and Susan, they did indeed.

nM&M Debutante cousins, who were born hours apart in the same hospital and with the same doctor, had a recent run on the letter “M.” Their brunch, titled “Music and Merriment,” continued with their names, Maddie and Mason. More formally, they are Madeleine Morrison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. deLesseps S. Morrison III, Paige and Chep; and Mason Elisabeth Poole, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Carter Poole, Betty and Jeff. The debs’ shared “M” was on the Scriptura invitation’s monogram, the party favor cookies, the napkins, and the signature drinks: Maddie’s Merry Mosmopolitan and Mason’s Marvelous Mojito. The party was formatted, ever so tunefully, at Arnaud’s in the French Quarter with music by two Harry Hardin Jazz trios. One was situated in the restaurant’s main dining room, while the other, which played modern rock/pop, was in the Jazz Bistro. The party flowed between the spaces, allowing the crowd to savor the cuisine in both arPaulette Stewart, Linda Newton, Blaise deFranceaux, Carole eas. Signature appe- Stribling tizers were passed, Melissa and a buffet featured crab cakes, grits cakes with Morrison, shrimp, a carving station, risotto, Carter chicken and waffles, desserts, such Poole, as flamed strawberries Arnaud, Claire chocolate torte, and mini beignets. Morrison The “M” cookies by JCB Creations were made of shortbread. Needless to say, their debs’ guest lists overlapped with mutual family members, as well as the debutante coterie and their parents. Maddie’s sisters, Claire Vining Morrison and Melissa Story Morrison, circulated, as did grandmothers Linda Stewart Newton and Carole Camp Stribling, and Corinne “Rini” Morrison Marcus. Mason’s brother, Carter Stanton Poole, grandmother Mrs. Frank Bernard Stewart Jr., Paulette or Pi, and paternal grandfather Blaise deFranceaux added party presence. Others were Dr. Jennifer Couvillon, Kelly Longwell Gottsche, Mary Marks, Dot Weisler, Paul and Jessica Friedlander and Alex, Gwathmey Gomila, Helen Jenkins, Keating Landry, the Clifton LeBlancs and Clifton David LeBlanc, Paula Lee and Cullen, the Edward Moises and Lily, Holly and John Nieset and Eliza and Kearney, Katherine and Beau Raymond with Charlotte and Kate, the Claiborne Schmidts with Ellie, and Rebecca and Chris Roos with Jack. Also, Jean-Paul Doucet, Caroline Fernandez, Margo Thionville, Sabrina LaFaye, Emily Baumgarten, Angelle and Marc Lyman, Dr. Michelle Johnston, Rachel and Marc Jaffe with Leo and Eli, Maria Wisdom, Vera Schlesinger with son Sam, Michelle Boyce, Jon and Jennifer Cook with Jack, Tom and Melanie Fischman, and Elizabeth and Andrew Wooten. Gold was a sartorial choice for both debutantes and their mothers. As for the fathers, they wore ties featuring photos of their daughters through the ages. Conversation was ever so lively, the food was especially tasty, music added energy, and the honorees projected seasonal delight as they mingled with kin and kith. To summarize, it was for Maddie and Mason, just MMarvelous!

Bridge BY PHILLIP ALDER Sylvester Stallone said, “Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.” That does not apply to this deal, where declarer needs to retain trump control for success, not failure. West leads the diamond ace against six hearts. How should South continue? The auction might have gone several ways. North chose to show both of his suits (three clubs was game-forcing), then jumped to five hearts to try to highlight his diamond void and ask for good trumps. South’s three-diamond cue-bid asked his partner to bid three no-trump with a diamond stopper. Then, over three spades, he gave preference to clubs. If North had now bid six clubs, he would have made that slam easily, taking three spades, three hearts and six clubs. Also, North could have deduced that South held strong hearts when he did not bid three no-trump. Declarer must resist the temptation of an overtrick. If hearts are breaking 3-2, South can take 16(!) tricks: three spades, five hearts, six clubs and two diamond ruffs in the dummy. But if South ruffs the opening lead on the board and tries to draw trumps by cashing two top hearts immediately, he will fail. Instead, declarer should lead a trump from the board at trick two and play low from his hand.

In that way, he retains a heart in the dummy to ruff another diamond, and he can then safely draw trumps before running the clubs. Finally, note that if West had led his singleton spade, South probably would have failed. He would have needed mirrors to get home. The curious can work it out. © 2026 by NEA, Inc., dist.

Today — LSU Giving Day — be part of building winning teams across every LSU campus and every academic discipline.

givingday.lsu.edu

“When alumni and supporters give, they’re helping open doors for current students. It’s more than just ﬁnancial support. It’s encouragement and belief in our potential. Those contributions help create a cycle of opportunity, where students like me can gain experience, grow professionally, and one day give back to the next generation.”

Madyson Barnett

Lagniappe Internship Fund Recipient

“Donor support gives us ﬂexibility that traditional government funding might not allow. It enables us to explore speciﬁc challenges in Louisiana’s agricultural landscape and ask the questions that matter most locally.”

Adam Famoso Endowed Professor of Biological & Agricultural Engineering

“Donor support gives us the ﬂexibility to pursue projects that may seem risky or unconventional. It allows us to test theories, buy equipment, and do proof-ofconcept work that can later be parlayed into larger grants from federal agencies.”

Mike Benton

Bernard S. Pressburg Memorial Professor and Paul M. Horton Professor in Chemical Engineering

“This scholarship has helped me feel more in my own as I pursue my degree. It has given me more conﬁdence to continue doing my research going forward. It’s encouraged me to do as good a job as I can because I know that there’s someone outside of myself who cares about what I’m doing.”

Noah Dubroff

Dr. Roselyn Bologna Boneno Scholar in American History

“There is no way to quantify what the impact is on our students, on our faculty, on our community, and what these donors are bringing to LSU and to the experiences that we have there. When donors support endowed faculty, they’re really investing in students, faculty, the schools, the colleges, all of LSU, our community and our impact beyond.”

Alissa Rowe

Galante Chair of Choral Studies

“My school has been covered through my scholarships. It’s allowed me to really focus my time on pursuing opportunities that would help me become who I want to be, rather than trying to find opportunities that would pay me well. Because of my scholarships, I was able to find who I am and figure out how I can make an impact on my community, my state, and my country.”

Hamood Qureshi

Gerard Family Undergraduate Scholar in Chemical Engineering, Dr. Ben H. Thibodeaux and Clare Roy Thibodeaux Scholar, and Stamps Scholar

ALL TEAMS Last Giving Day, more than 4,000 LSU alumni and friends gave nearly $8.5 million to fuel opportunities, discovery, and impact. Giving Day 2026 will carry that momentum forward. We win together.
