Despite weather threat, Mardi Gras revelers fill parade routes, downtown streets

BY RICH COLLINS and ANTHONY McAULEY

Staff writers

A 58-day Carnival season that began less than a week after the tragic New Year’s Day attack on Bourbon Street and included a triumphant Super Bowl week in New Orleans finally came to a close Tuesday.

The celebration that lasted longer than most ended in a bit of a rush, as organizers canceled or modified parades to wrap up before blustery weather arrived midafternoon. A steady breeze increased throughout the morning and gave way to strong winds and a line of thunderstorms later in the day. Forecasters had predicted dangerous gusts and possible tornadoes.

To avoid the elements, Zulu and Rex moved up their start times, shortened their routes and cut some bands and marchCARNIVAL ing groups from their processions.

On the northshore, the Covington Lions, Mystic Krewe of Covington and Bogue Falaya parades started early and canceled afterparties.

Despite the forecast, tens of thousands took to the streets to celebrate Fat Tuesday. They were rewarded all morning with breezy and mild weather under partly cloudy skies.

“We were supposed to have bad weather, but I don’t know where it is,” said Palestine Riles, the manager of the Inn on Ursulines, as raucous revelers walked past the open doors of the French Quarter boutique hotel.

The city’s Mardi Gras celebration began before dawn, when the North Side Skull and Bones Gang knocked on doors in Treme.

The tradition of waking up neighbors — along with ancestral spirits — dates back at least to the late 1800s.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump vowed Tuesday to keep up his campaign of “swift and unrelenting action” in reorienting the nation’s economy, immigration and foreign policy in an unyielding address to Congress and the nation that left Democratic legislators to register their dissent with stone faces, placards calling out “lies” and one legislaä Louisiana tor’s ejection.

Trump’s prime-time congressmen speech was the latest invite guests marker in his takeover to Trump of the nation’s capital, where the Republican-led speech.

The more than 90-minute address added up to an defiant sales pitch for the policies that he promised during his campaign and leaned into during his first weeks back in office. Trump pledged to keep delivering sweeping changes to the country, rescuing it from what he described as destruction and mistakes left by his predecessor while repeatedly needling Democratic lawmakers who protested his remarks.

Emboldened after overcoming impeachments in his first term and criminal prosecutions in between his two administrations and with a tight grip on the Republican-controlled Congress, Trump has embarked on a mission to dismantle parts of the federal government, remake the relationship with America’s allies and spark a North American trade war that is compounding economic uncertainty.

U.S. storms bring threats from fire to blizzard conditions

Kenya refugees injured in clashes with police

NAIROBI, Kenya — At least four people sustained gunshot wounds as police clashed with protesters in Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp, in the country’s north.

Thousands of refugees in the camp, which hosts people fleeing from conflict and drought in neighboring South Sudan, Ethiopia, Burundi and Congo, protested Monday against food rationing due to funding constraints.

The World Food Program, which is in charge of food distribution at the refugee camp, said in last December the food rations to refugee camps were “at 45 percent of the minimum food basket due to resource constraints.”

The WFP has warned for years that it is facing shortfalls in the contributions from governments it relies on for funding, and on Monday it announced that it is closing its office in South Africa due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s cuts in foreign aid.

A refugee from neighboring South Sudan, John Garang, held up a roughly 1 gallon pot.

“This is the container they are now using to measure beans and oil and the other one for rice.

And this is equivalent for one month for your food. Assume you don’t have another income, it’s only this. Is this enough for you,” he asked.

Baby seal rescued from street dies at aquarium NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A baby seal found stranded on a street near Connecticut’s Yale University last month has died from severe digestive issues, a local aquarium announced Monday.

Mystic Aquarium said “Chappy,” a nod to Chapel Street in New Haven where he was rescued, died while recovering at its Animal Rescue Clinic.

“The Mystic Aquarium staff are proud that they were able to give Chappy the best chance possible and are devastated by this outcome,” the aquarium wrote on Facebook. “The reality of working with stranded animals can be tough sometimes, but Chappy was surrounded by love until the very end.”

The underweight gray seal pup was brought to the clinic on Feb. 16 after being spotted by a passerby, who reported to police that the animal was potentially injured.

The seal, which was believed to be about 5 to 6 weeks old, was more than 1,000 feet from the nearest river.

The aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut, said Chappy had been responding well to treatment for dehydration, malnutrition and a mild pneumonia but began having digestive difficulties as he transitioned to eating whole fish.

Residents flee as Afghan, Pakistani forces clash PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Residents fled a border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan after forces from both sides clashed into the early hours of Tuesday, a Pakistani official said.

It was the second consecutive day of tit-for-tat gunfire at Torkham, a key crossing between the two countries that has been closed since Feb. 21 because of a dispute between the two neighbors. The Pakistani official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak with the media, said that gunfire overnight Monday spread fear and panic among residents.

They fled to safer locations as security forces on both sides shot at each other with light and heavy weapons.

“The situation remains tense and security is on high alert,” the official said. Three Pakistani security personnel were wounded in the latest clash. There were no civilian casualties.

One person waiting to cross into Pakistan was Sana Gul. He said drivers, patients, passengers and traders were all in trouble because of the prolonged closure and that Torkham should not be shut over “minor incidents.”

In Kabul, Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Mateen Qani said Tuesday that authorities would continue their efforts to resolve the issue through talks.

Zelenskyy says he’s ready to work for peace

BY SAMYA KULLAB and HANNA ARHIROVA

Associated Press

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that the Oval Office blowup with U.S. counterpart Donald Trump last week was “regrettable,” adding that he stands ready to work under Trump’s “strong leadership” to get a lasting peace.

Zelenskyy’s remarks — an apparent attempt to placate Trump — came in a social media post on X, hours after the White House announced a pause in military aid to Ukraine that is critical to fighting Russia’s invasion.

But later during his nightly address, Zelenskyy indicated that Ukraine didn’t receive direct notification from the U.S. that aid had been cut, and was seeking confirmation.

“I have instructed Ukraine’s Minister of Defense, the heads of our intelligence agencies, and our diplomats to contact their counterparts in the United States and obtain official information. People should not have to guess,” he said.

“Ukraine and America deserve a respectful dialogue and a clear position from one another. Especially when it comes to protecting lives during a fullscale war,” he added, saying that military aid had been cut once before in January for a brief period.

Zelenskyy also said Ukraine is ready to sign a lucrative deal on rare-earth minerals and security with Washington. Trump was weighing whether to agree to the signing Tuesday, when he is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress, after Zelenskyy’s sign of contrition, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter who was not authorized to speak publicly about it.

In an apparent reference to Trump’s criticism following the contentious White

House meeting on Friday that Zelenskyy does not want a peace deal, the Ukrainian leader said, “None of us want an endless war.”

“Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer. Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians. My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts,” he said.

Asked by reporters in Moscow about Zelenskyy voicing readiness for the resumption of talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “It’s good, it’s positive.”

In his post, Zelenskyy said the Oval Office meeting “did not go the way it was supposed to be.”

“It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right,” he added. “We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.”

The pause of U.S. military aid catapulted Ukraine into alarm and apprehension. Zelenskyy’s statement came before Trump was expected to address the U.S. Congress later Tuesday.

“Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it in any time and in any convenient format,” Zelenskyy said. “We see this agreement as a step toward greater security and solid security guarantees, and I truly hope it will work effectively.”

French President Emmanuel Macron spoke by phone successively with Trump and Zelenskyy, Macron’s office said, and “welcomes” the Ukrainian’s “willingness to reengage in dialogue with the U.S.” It released no details about the discussion with Trump.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer also spoke to the Ukrainian leader and “welcomed President Zelenskyy’s steadfast commitment to securing peace.”

Serbian lawmakers injured as smoke bombs, flares thrown in parliament

BY JOVANA GEC Associated Press

BELGRADE, Serbia — At least three lawmakers were injured on Tuesday, one of them seriously, after chaotic scenes in Serbia’s parliament, during which smoke bombs and flares were thrown, further fueling political tensions in the Balkan country.

Lawmakers were scheduled to vote on a law that would increase funding for university education, but opposition parties said the ruling majority was also planning to approve dozens of other decisions. They said that was illegal and that lawmakers should first confirm the resignation of Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and his government.

Chaos erupted about an hour after the parliamentary session started, with opposition lawmakers blowing whistles and holding up a banner reading “Serbia has risen so the regime would fall!”

Hundreds of opposition supporters rallied outside the parliament building during the session.

Video footages from the assembly hall showed clashes between lawmakers and flares and smoke bombs being thrown. Serbian media said eggs and water bottles also were thrown.

Powerful storms tore the roofs off an apartment building and a nursing home in a small town in Oklahoma, damaged a high school near Dallas, and threatened more communities across the nation Tuesday with wide-ranging weather.

The large storm system also brought blinding dust storms to the Southwest, blizzards with whiteout conditions to the Midwest and raised fears of wildfires in other parts of the country.

The alarming weather expected Tuesday could be one of the first big tests for the National Weather Service after hundreds of forecasters were fired last week as part of President Donald Trump’s moves to slash the size of the federal government. Former employees said the firing of meteorologists who make crucial local forecasts across the U.S. could put lives at risk, though it was too soon to know the impact on forecasts and warnings for this storm.

Storms that swept through Texas and Oklahoma early Tuesday morning brought high winds and rain, overturning tractortrailers and damaging roofs. Power outages were climbing Tuesday morning in the storm’s wake, with nearly 400,000 customers without power in Texas; about 30,000 in Louisiana and another 25,000 in Mississippi, according to PowerOutage.us, which tracks outages nationwide.

More power outages were expected as a line of storms raced across Mississippi and Louisiana late Tuesday producing gusts of 70 mph, the weather service said.

In the 16,000-resident city of Ada, Oklahoma, where the apartment and nursing home roofs were torn away, the damage indicates there was likely a tornado that touched down early Tuesday morning as a line of powerful thunder-

storms rumbled across the state, said Bruce Thoren, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Gusts up to 85 mph were recorded in the area, he said. There were no immediate reports of injuries, said Jeff Rollins, the emergency management director in the nearby town of Byng, who was assisting Ada. In North Texas, strong thunderstorms with gusts over 70 mph damaged apartments, schools and RVs on Tuesday. At the Las Haciendas Apartments in Irving, northwest of Dallas, strong winds blew out windows and the brick siding along the walls of one of the buildings. A nearby grocery store’s sign was damaged and its parking lot littered with tree limbs and power lines.

The storms knocked out power to several Irving schools, prompting some canceled classes and early releases. In Plano, north of Dallas, winds tore off parts of a high school’s metal roof. In Parker County, west of Fort Worth, firefighters responded after at least three RV trailers were overturned by strong winds.

The Central Plains and Midwest were bracing for blizzard conditions later Tuesday that forecasters warned could “make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening.”

In Des Moines, Iowa, gusts up to 65 mph were expected Tuesday night — a rare occurrence, forecasters said.

“In the past 20, 30 years, we’ve seen maybe only two or three events that have been this strong as far as the winds are concerned,” said Craig Cogil, a meteorologist at the agency’s Des Moines office.

Nationwide, more than 500 flights scheduled to travel through the U.S. on Tuesday were canceled, according to FlightAware. com, which tracks delays and cancellations. Airports in Dallas had canceled the most flights among U.S. airports.

A man holds a banner reading: ‘All of Serbia has risen’ and stands in silence to commemorate the 15 victims killed after a railway concrete canopy fell in November 2024, during Serbia’s parliament session in Belgrade, Serbia, on Tuesday.

Officials later said three people were injured in the disturbance, including lawmaker Jasmina Obradovic who was taken to hospital. Parliament speaker Ana Brnabic, who accused the opposition of being a “terrorist gang.”

Defense Minister Bratislav Gasic described those behind the incident as “a disgrace to Serbia.”

“The vandalism of opposition MPs has exposed the nature of their personalities and the essence of their political agenda,” Gasic said.

Serbia’s populist President Aleksandar Vucic visited Obradovic in hospital. “Jasmina will win,

Serbia will win,” Vucic said in a post on Instagram, showing him holding the lawmaker’s hand in an emergency room.

The incident reflects a deep political crisis in Serbia where monthslong anti-corruption protests have rattled a populist government.

Vucevic resigned in January as the government faced protests over the collapse in November of a concrete train station canopy in the Serbia’s north that killed 15 people and which critics blamed on rampant corruption.

Parliament must confirm the prime minister’s resignation for it to take effect.

Trade war draws tariffs from NASA’s two stuck astronauts Mexico, Canada and China finally close in on return to Earth

BY MARCIA DUNN

BY JOSH BOAK, PAUL WISEMAN and ROB GILLIES

AP aerospace writer

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump launched a trade war Tuesday against America’s three biggest trading partners, drawing immediate retaliation from Mexico, Canada and China and sending financial markets into a tailspin as the U.S. faced the threat of rekindled inflation and paralyzing uncertainty for business.

Just after midnight, Trump imposed 25% taxes, or tariffs, on Mexican and Canadian imports, though he limited the levy to 10% on Canadian energy. Trump also doubled the tariff he slapped last month on Chinese products to 20%.

Beijing retaliated with tariffs of up to 15% on a wide array of U.S. farm exports.

It also expanded the number of U.S. companies subject to export controls and other restrictions by about two dozen. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country would plaster tariffs on more than $100 billion of American goods over the course of 21 days.

“Today the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend.

At the same, they are talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator. Make that make sense,” Trudeau said.

Later in the day, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the U.S. would likely meet Canada and Mexico “in the middle,” with an announcement coming as soon as Wednesday.

Lutnick told Fox Business News that the tariffs would not be paused, but that Trump would reach a com-

“I think he’s going to figure out, you do more, and I’ll meet you in the middle in some way,” Lutnick said.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico will respond to the new taxes with its own retaliatory tariffs. Sheinbaum said she will announce the products Mexico will target on Sunday. The delay might indicate that Mexico still hopes to deescalate Trump’s trade war.

The president is abandoning the free trade policies the United States pursued for decades after World War II. He argues that open trade cost America millions of factory jobs and that tariffs are the path to national prosperity. He rejects the views of mainstream economists who contend that such protectionism is costly and inefficient.

Import taxes are “a very powerful weapon that politicians haven’t used because they were either dishonest, stupid or paid off in some other form,” Trump said Monday. “And now we’re using them.”

Dartmouth College economist Douglas Irwin, author

of a 2017 history of U.S. tariff policy, has calculated that Tuesday’s hikes will lift America’s average tariff from 2.4% to 10.5%, the highest level since the 1940s.

“We’re in a new era for sure.”

As the trade disputes escalated, stocks racked up more losses Tuesday on Wall Street, wiping out all the gains since Election Day for the S&P 500. Markets in Europe also fell sharply.

Trump has said tariffs are intended to address drug trafficking and illegal immigration. But he’s also said the tariffs will come down only if the U.S. trade deficit narrows.

The American president has injected a disorienting volatility into the world economy, leaving it off balance as people wonder what he will do next.

During his first term, Trump imposed tariffs only after lengthy investigations — into the national security implications of relying on foreign steel, for example, said Michael House, co-chair of the international trade practice at the Perkins Coie law firm.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s two stuck astronauts are just a few weeks away from finally returning to Earth after nine months in space.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have to wait until their replacements arrive at the International Space Station next week before they can check out later this month.

They’ll be joined on their SpaceX ride home by two astronauts who launched by themselves in September alongside two empty seats.

During a news conference Tuesday, Wilmore said that while politics is part of life, it did not play into his and Williams’ return, moved up a couple weeks thanks to a change

“It’s been a roller coaster for them, probably a little bit more so than for us,” she said. “We’re here. We have a mission. We’re just just doing what we do every day, and every day is interesting because we’re up in space and it’s a lot of fun.”

Wilmore and Williams expected to be gone just a week or so when they launched last June aboard Boeing’s new Starliner capsule, making its crew debut after years of delay.

The Starliner had so many problems getting to the space station that NASA ruled it too dangerous to carry anyone and it flew back empty.

in SpaceX capsules. President Donald Trump and SpaceX’s Elon Musk said at the end of January that they wanted to accelerate the astronauts’ return, blaming the previous administration.

But Williams, in response to a question, did take issue with Musk’s recent call to dump the space station in two years, rather than waiting until NASA’s projected deorbit in 2031. She noted all the scientific research being performed at the orbiting lab.

“This place is ticking. It’s just really amazing, so I would say we’re actually in our prime right now,” said Williams, a three-time space station resident. “I would think that right now is probably not the right time to say quit, call it quits.”

Williams said she can’t

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court seemed likely Tuesday to block a $10 billion lawsuit Mexico filed against top firearm manufacturers in the U.S. alleging the companies have fueled cartel gun violence.

Both liberal and conservative justices appeared skeptical that the claims could clear hurdles in U.S. law that largely shield gun makers from lawsuits when their products are used in crime.

Big-name manufacturers like Smith & Wesson appealed to the justices after a lower court let the suit go forward under an exception for situations where gun companies are accused of violating the law.

An attorney for Mexico argued the case over economic harm linked to gun violence is still in its early stages and

should be allowed go forward.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, though, pointed to arguments that many products, from baseball bats to prescription drugs, can misused, and a flood of lawsuits could hurt the U.S. economy. “That’s a real concern, I think, for me, about accepting your theory,” he said.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said it appeared that the lawsuit ultimately seeks “changes to the firearm industry” of the kind that the shield law was aiming to forestall.

Justice Samuel Alito raised questions about whether U.S. states could file suit against Mexico for “illegal conduct” it links to activities there.

The arguments coincidently come as President Donald Trump’s longthreatened tariffs against Mexico and Canada go into

effect. Trump has said the tariffs are aimed in part on forcing the two U.S. neighbors to step up their fight against fentanyl trafficking and stop illegal immigration.

The case began four years ago, when the Mexican government filed its blockbuster suit against some of the biggest gun companies, including Smith & Wesson, Beretta, Colt and Glock Inc. Mexico has strict gun laws and has just one store where people can legally buy firearms. But thousands of guns are smuggled in by the country’s powerful drug cartels every year.

The Mexican government says at least 70% of those weapons come from the United States. The lawsuit claims that companies knew weapons were being sold to traffickers who smuggled them into Mexico and decided to cash in on that market.

About 6 a.m., the St. Augustine High School Marching 100 band assembled in Lafayette Square across from Gallier Hall on a mission to surprise Zulu King Rodney P. Mason Jr., who played in the band as a student, with a performance.

The band had been scheduled to march with Zulu but had been pulled because of the bad weather. About 8 a.m., when the king arrived, he held his trumpet in the air in gratitude for the musical tribute.

Throughout the morning, streets in the city’s downtown neighborhoods slowly filled up with costumed revelers, who made little to no wardrobe modifications despite the extreme weather threat.

The Societe de Sainte Anne, the Society of St. Cecilia, the Krewe of Clouet and other walking clubs brought colorful crowds into the Bywater, Faubourg Marigny and the French Quarter. The tradition of marching clubs has given way to a full-blown massive outdoor costume party in the post-Hurricane Katrina years.

The epicenter of the action was near the intersection of Royal and Franklin streets, where hundreds, if not thousands, of revelers came to show off their costumes and take in the show.

Four people dressed like New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick were walking near the Krewe of Orca, which held up “Sink the Rich” signs.

“We were inspired by the stories of those whales that kept slamming into yachts a few years ago,” said Alexis Kyman, who formed the two-person krewe with Shannon Anderson.

Down the street, two women were dressed as a “peep show.” When they opened their overcoats, they revealed elaborate miniature scenes made with marshmallow chicks and bunnies.

There were plenty of swamp creatures and cypress trees walking the streets, courtesy of the Krewe of Clouet’s bayou theme.

As midday approached, many of the walking clubs that began the morning downriver had made their way into the French Quarter for a loosely organized parade. Paradegoers just had to follow the sound of

At that point, Royal Street had become so crowded that it looked like Bourbon Street. And Bourbon Street had reached maximum festivity as people threw beads from balconies and a guy sang a karaoke version of “Mr. Brightside” at the top of his lungs.

The annual Bourbon Street Awards costume contest began at noon at the corner of St. Ann and Dauphine streets. Drag queens Varla Jean Merman and Fatsy Cline, the show’s hosts, sang satirical songs and hurled insults, all in good fun. Now in its sixth decade, the awards show began in 1964 as a costume contest to drum up business for the Clover Grill.

An early start Uptown On the Uptown parade route, there appeared to be as many assault rifles as Zulu coconuts, mostly because of the stepped-up security presence in the wake of the vehicle ramming attack on Bourbon that killed 14. Members of the New Orleans Police Department, the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office, the Louisiana State

Police, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security were out in heavy numbers.

Kids played football amid the temporary barricades that lined St. Charles Avenue and many cross streets.

Paradegoers wove in and out of the barricades, a new security feature this year.

Most begged for beads, paying little attention to the heavily armed security personnel at many intersections.

As usual, dedicated locals blocked off their real estate with tents, chairs and coolers.

Even with the earlier start times and shortened programs, both the Zulu and Rex parades went off as smoothly as could have been expected.

Rolling just 20 minutes after sunrise from its traditional starting location at the corner of South Carrollton and Jackson avenues, Zulu was led by the Talladega College Marching Tornado Band.

Darren Mire, a krewe spokesperson, said the parade start had been moved 90 minutes earlier and only the four out-of-town bands were allowed to march to

ensure the parade would finish before the bad weather arrived.

The dancing and walking groups were also canceled,

so no Zulu Tramps or Baby through Back of Town and Dolls. Also, the route was finishing up in Treme, the halved, so instead of going parade took a left at Poydras through the Central Busiä See REIGN, page 5A ness District and then up

Rex riders toss throws to the crowd along the parade route on Mardi Gras.

Continued from page 4A Street and disbanded at the Caesars Superdome.

“It was disappointing we had to change the route, but it was the only thing we could do because of the weather,” Mire said.

Further Uptown, the Rex parade rolled an hour earlier than normal at 9.30 a.m. with no bands but all of its floats, led by this year’s Rex, King of Carnival lawyer and philanthropist Edward Howell Crosby.

Kirkpatrick, walking out ahead of the Rex parade with several of her senior brass, said the organizers had adapted quickly and smoothly to the weather threat.

“Everything is rolling well and everything has been real safe so far,” she said, crossing her fingers.

Established in 1872, the all-male Rex parade is the oldest and most traditional of New Orleans’ Carnival processions. This year, there had already been a change aimed at making the parade less time-consuming: The Queen of Carnival’s reviewing stand had been moved 3 miles closer to the start of the route, next to Pascal’s Manale Restaurant, which was taken over by Dickie Brennan’s restaurant group two years ago. On Tuesday, a waiter there was serving

Members of the Rex court — the queen, maids and others who do not ride in the allmale parade — customarily watch the procession from a raised platform along the route. Rex pauses the parade at the queen’s reviewing stand to toast the court.

By early evening, no ma-

jor incidents had been reported, though there was a brief holdup when Zulu float 25B struck a tree at the corner of St. Charles and Jackson avenues as it was trying to turn at the intersection.

WDSU captured the moment as Barry Kern, CEO of float maker Kern Studios and Mardi Gras World, jumped onto the tractor to free the float.

TRUMP

Continued from page 1A weeks in office. “The people elected me to do the job, and I am doing it.”

Trump, who has billionaire adviser Elon Musk orchestrating his efforts to slash the size and scope of the federal government, said he is working to “reclaim democracy from this unaccountable bureaucracy” and threatened federal workers anew with firings if they resist his agenda.

Musk, who was seated in the House gallery, received a pair of standing ovations from Republicans in the chamber, as Trump exaggerated and shared false claims about alleged government abuse uncovered by the Tesla and SpaceX founder and his team of disrupters.

Trump repeated false claims that tens of millions of dead people over 100 years old are receiving Social Security payments, prompting some Democrats to shout, “Not true!” and “Those are lies!”

Trump spoke at a critical juncture in his presidency, as voters who returned him to the White House on his promise to fix inflation are instead finding economic chaos. All the gains the S&P 500 have made since Election Day are now gone, while consumer sentiment surveys show the public sees inflation as worsening. For a president who believes that announcements of corporate investments can boost attitudes about the economy, the speech was suddenly a test of his ability to rebuild confidence in his economic leadership.

Trump seemed prepared to double down on his trade war, which experts have warned will raise prices for consumers.

“Whatever they tariff us, we tariff them. Whatever they tax us, we tax them,” Trump said. He sought to ease concerns about price increases, saying, “There’ll be a little disturbance, but we’re OK with that. It won’t be much.”

Trump said one of his “very highest priorities” was to rescue the economy and offer relief to working families. He promised to organize the federal government to lower costs on eggs and energy, blaming his Democratic predecessor Joe Biden for the situation and offering scant details of his own plans.

Trump also called for the extension of his first-term tax cuts and additional federal funding for his border crackdown, including for his promised efforts at “mass deportation” of people in the U.S. illegally.

Speaking about his promised tax cuts, Trump seemed to goad Democrats, saying: “I’m sure you’re going to vote for those tax cuts. Because otherwise I don’t believe the people will ever vote you into office.”

The backdrop was the new economic uncertainty unleashed after the president opened the day by placing stiff tariffs on imports from the country’s neighbors and closest trading partners.

lll

A 25% tax on goods from Canada and Mexico went into effect early Tuesday — ostensibly to secure greater cooperation to tackle fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration — triggering immediate retaliation and sparking fears of a wider trade war. Trump also raised tariffs on goods from China to 20%.

Trump also celebrated his sharp crackdown on migration to the U.S., fulfilling a key campaign promise and taunting Democrats for not doing more to secure the border, saying, “It turns all we really needed was a new president.”

Republicans were boisterous as Trump stepped to the lectern in the House, chanting “USA! USA!” as the president basked in the cheers. The GOP lawmakers were jubilant, having won a trifecta of the White House, Senate and House in the elections. However, they face a high-stakes task of delivering on Trump’s agenda as well as avoiding a government shutdown later this month.

Across the aisle, out-ofpower Democrats set the tone early, with most remaining seated without applauding or making eye contact with Trump as he was introduced in the chamber.

After several interruptions, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Benton, jumped in and called for decorum to be restored in the chamber as Republicans shouted “USA” to drown out the cries from the other side of the aisle. Johnson then ordered Texas Rep. Al Green removed from the chamber.

“It’s worth it to let people know that there are some people who are going to stand up” to Trump, Green told reporters after being thrown out of the chamber.

Other Democrats held up signs like “Save Medicaid” and “Protect Veterans” during Trump’s remarks, seeking to drive public awareness to elements of Trump’s agenda they believed might offer them a pathway back to the majority.

Some Democrats chose to highlight the impact of Trump’s actions by inviting fired federal workers as guests, including a disabled veteran from Arizona, a health worker from Maryland and a forestry employee who worked on wildfire prevention in California.

They also invited guests who would be harmed by steep federal budget cuts to Medicaid and other programs.

Trump also used his speech to address his proposals for fostering peace in Ukraine and the Middle East, where he has unceremoniously upended the policies of the Biden administration in a matter of just weeks. On Monday, Trump ordered a freeze to U.S. military assistance to Ukraine, ending years of staunch American support for the country in fending off Russia’s invasion.

Many Democratic lawmakers wore blue and yellow ties and scarves in a show of support for Ukraine.

Trump also said he had ended a “weaponized government” that he accused

The president also used his high-profile moment to press his efforts to reshape the country’s approach to social issues, as he looked to continue to eradicate diversity, equity and inclusion efforts across the country and to roll back some public accommodations for transgender individuals.

Trump said he ended the “tyranny” of diversity, equity and inclusion policies that he rolled back for the federal government and military, along with pushing similar moves in the private sector.

“Our country will be woke no longer,” he declared.

Watching from the gallery with first lady Melania Trump were guests including 15-year-old Elliston Berry, of Aledo, Texas, who was the victim of an explicit deepfake image sent to classmates.

Other White House guests included Stephanie Diller, the widow of New York Police Department Officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed in the line of duty during a traffic stop in March 2024; Marc Fogel, the Pennsylvania teacher who came home last month after years of detention in Russia, and his 95-year-old mother, Malphine; and relatives of Corey Comperatore, the former Pennsylvania fire chief who was killed as he protected his family during an assassination attempt on Trump last summer.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.

Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care.

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

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

Previous dental work can wear out.

That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything.

That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.

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

Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.

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

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

La. congressmen invite guests for Trump speech

BY MARK BALLARD Staff writer

WASHINGTON — Both Louisiana congressional Democrats invited guests affected by recent federal layoffs and funding cuts to attend President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress on Tuesday night.

Chanté Powell, who had recently started working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Finance Center in New Orleans, was fired on Valentine’s Day. She was the guest of Rep. Troy Carter, D-New Orleans.

Funding for Southern University student Kennedy Orr’s scholarship was initially blocked when Trump’s administration suspended a swath of federal programs.

The funding was later reinstated. Orr was invited by Rep. Cleo Fields, D-Baton Rouge.

Meanwhile, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-Benton, invited Olivia Hayes, of Kinder, whose husband, Wesley, was killed in a traffic accident by an immigrant who was in the country illegally. He also invited Noa Agramani, an Israeli who was taken hostage

by Hamas and released in June. Johnson also brought several officials and conservative commentators.

Carter and Fields said they wanted to put a human face on Republican policies.

“Unfortunately, under the Musk-Trump administration, many federal employees, like Chanté, have faced unjust hardships,” Carter said Tuesday. “Their decisions have caused widespread instability in the workforce, leading to cruel layoffs and uncertainty for hardworking Americans who contribute to their communities via public service.”

Carter continued: “Democrats are prioritizing policies that protect and uplift federal workers, ensuring they are treated with the respect and fairness they deserve.

Clearly, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are not.”

In addition to unilateral cuts to already appropriated federal funding, Trump has assigned billionaire Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to reduce the number of federal employees.

Democratic leaders asked congressional members to invite everyday Americans who they say typify the disruption and human costs of Trump’s actions.

About two dozen recently fired employees — from all over the federal government, including safety offices in the Federal Aviation Administration and assistance offices in Veterans Affairs — will be sitting in the chamber’s galleries as guests of Democrats. Smallbusiness owners impacted

by Trump’s tariffs, California firefighters and Medicaid recipients also will attend.

Powell worked for the Office of Inspector General for a year, but moved a few months ago to the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Finance Center in New Orleans. She was laid on off Valentine’s Day as part of the Trump administration’s effort to eliminate positions in federal government.

The National Finance Center helps other agencies with financial and human resources management to improve cost effectiveness and efficiency. Founded in 1973, it handles payroll for more than 661,000 employees.

“I stand here to represent the thousands facing uncertainty, hoping for solutions that protect those who dedicate their careers to serving this country,” Powell said.

“I am hopeful that my presence (at Trump’s speech) will magnify their voices for the stability and security they deserve.”

Powell had worked for two New Orleans mayors and served on the Parent Advisory Council for the Orleans Parish schools superintendent. She had previously worked for Ochsner Health as a health care regulatory compliance and privacy professional.

In taking a new job with the federal government, Powell was still in her probationary period, which

does not afford the same legal protections as she would have received when she became a full-fledged civil servant.

When the Trump administration ran into a slow response to a buyout offer and opposition to laying off federal workers, they fired recently hired employees because they could do so more easily and without running afoul of civil service laws.

Orr, who is president of student government at Southern and a student member of the Louisiana Board of Regents, has been able to attend college on a U.S. Department of Agriculture 1890 scholarship for historically Black college and university students from rural and underserved communities studying food, agriculture, natural resources and related sciences.

Trump froze the $19.2 million set aside for the program while the administration reviewed whether the spending aligned with the president’s political views on diversity.

After a storm of protest, the administration last week allowed the roughly 300 scholarships to remain in place while the students finished their studies.

Fields said it’s not just the back and forth on the 1890 scholarships, but talk about moving Pell grants, which 74% of Southern’s students use, from one department to another and the possibility of that funding being reduced.

“The problem is the un-

certainty. She puts a face on how these policies affect real students,” Fields said.

“We need to do everything we can to create more opportunities for them, not destroy the opportunities they already have.”

Orr, 22, said she wanted to be voice for students who are trying to secure a college education without being overwhelmed in debt.

Democrats aren’t the only members bringing guests to the House chamber galleries.

In addition to Hayes and Agramani, Johnson also invited Tom Homan, the administration’s border czar; Ben Dell, managing partner with Kimmeridge, which controls Commonwealth LNG, a Houston company that recently received conditional authorization to develop a liquified natural gas facility in Cameron Parish; and right-wing commentators Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh.

“This common-sense agenda is very different than our Democrat colleagues,” Johnson said Tuesday morning. “They are defending wasteful government spending right now. They’re opposing tax cuts for working families. They’re supporting open borders and sanctuary cities.”

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, said Tuesday that “it’s been a riveting pace that President Trump took to start getting our country back on track, but the work is just beginning.”

Reddit co-founder joins bid to acquire TikTok

Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian has joined billionaire Frank McCourt’s bid to acquire TikTok as a strategic adviser.

McCourt’s internet advocacy organization, Project Liberty, announced this week that Ohanian, an investor married to tennis star Serena Williams, had joined a consortium called “The People’s Bid for TikTok.” “I’m officially now one of the people trying to buy TikTok US — and bring it on-chain,” Ohanian said in a series of posts made Tuesday on X, referencing a decentralized, blockchain-based platform that Project Liberty says it will leverage to provide users more control over their online data.

If successful in its bid, Project Liberty said the technology “will serve as the backbone of the redesigned TikTok, ensuring that privacy, security, and digital independence are no longer optional but foundational.” When asked by an X user on Monday what he would call TikTok if he purchased it, Ohanian said: “TikTok: Freedom Edition.”

McCourt’s consortium — which includes “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary — has already offered ByteDance $20 billion in cash for the U.S. platform. Some analysts estimate TikTok could be worth much more than that even without its coveted algorithm, which McCourt has said he’s not interested in.

Losses wipe out S&P postelection gains Trade war between the U.S. and its partners escalates

BY DAMIAN J. TROISE and ALEX VEIGA AP business writers

Stocks racked up more losses on Wall Street on Tuesday as a trade war between the U.S. and its key trading partners escalated, wiping out all the gains since Election Day for the S&P 500.

President Donald Trump’s administration imposed tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico starting Tuesday and doubled tariffs against imports from China. All three countries announced retaliatory actions,

sparking worries about a slowdown in the global economy.

The S&P 500 fell, with more than 80% of the stocks in the benchmark index closing lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also slid.

The Nasdaq composite slipped.

The tech-heavy index briefly reached a 10% decline from its most recent closing high, which is what the market considers a correction, but gains for Nvidia, Microsoft and other tech heavyweights helped pare those losses.

Financial stocks were among the heaviest weights on the S&P 500 index. JPMorgan Chase fell 4% and Bank of America lost 6.3%.

Markets in Europe fell sharply, with Germany’s DAX falling 3.5% as automakers saw sharp losses.

Stocks in Asia saw more modest de-

clines.

“The markets are having a tough time even setting expectations for what this trade war could look like,” said Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Baird. “This is clearly a level step higher than anything we saw during (Trump’s) first term.”

The recent decline in U.S. stocks has wiped out all of the markets’ gains since Trump’s election in November. That rally had been built largely on hopes for policies that would strengthen the U.S. economy and businesses. Worries about tariffs raising consumer prices and reigniting inflation have been weighing on both the economy and Wall Street.

The tariffs are prompting warnings from retailers, including Tar-

get and Best Buy, as they report their latest financial results. Target fell 3% despite beating Wall Street’s earnings forecasts, saying there will be “meaningful pressure” on its profits to start the year because of tariffs and other costs.

Best Buy plunged 13.3% for the biggest drop among S&P 500 stocks after giving investors a weakerthan-expected earnings forecast and warning about tariff impacts.

“International trade is critically important to our business and industry,” said Best Buy CEO Corie Barry.

Barry said China and Mexico are the top two sources for products that Best Buy sells, and it also expects vendors to pass along tariff costs, which would make price increases for American consumers likely.

Starbucks brings in new finance chief Starbucks named a new chief financial officer on Tuesday as part of a larger turnaround strategy.

Cathy Smith, who has been Nordstrom’s CFO since 2023, will join Starbucks in the next month, Starbucks Chairman and CEO Brian Niccol said in a letter to employees. Smith previously served as the chief financial officer of Target and Walmart International.

Smith will replace Rachel Ruggeri, who is leaving the company.

Niccol said Smith brings extensive experience in retail, global operations and corporate turnarounds.

Ruggeri will stay at Starbucks for a period of time to assist with the transition, he said.

Niccol is trying to reinvigorate Starbucks’ sluggish sales with faster service times, a less complicated menu and others moves he says are intended to restore a community coffeehouse feel to the company’s stores.

In January, the company reversed its open-door policy and said only customers who bought something would be allowed to hang out or use the restroom at a local Starbucks.

BlackRock strikes Panama ports deal A Hong Kong-based conglomerate has agreed to sell its controlling stake in a subsidiary that operates ports near the Panama Canal to a consortium including BlackRock Inc., effectively putting the ports under American control after President Donald Trump alleged Chinese interference with the operations of the critical shipping lane.

In a filing, CK Hutchison Holding said Tuesday that it would sell all shares in Hutchison Port Holdings and in Hutchison Port Group Holdings to the consortium in a deal valued at nearly $23 billion, including $5 billion in debt.

The deal will give the BlackRock consortium control over 43 ports in 23 countries, including the ports of Balboa and Cristobal, located at either end of the Panama Canal. Other ports are in Mexico, the Netherlands, Egypt, Australia, Pakistan and elsewhere.

Some 70% of the sea traffic that crosses the Panama Canal leaves or goes to U.S. ports. The U.S. built the canal in the early 1900s as it looked for ways to facilitate the transit of commercial and military vessels between its coasts.

Washington relinquished control of the waterway to Panama on Dec. 31, 1999, under a treaty signed in 1977 by President Jimmy Carter. Trump has claimed that Carter “foolishly” gave the canal away.

Energy prices squeeze Saudi plans Aramco reports 12% lower profits

BY JON GAMBRELL Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil giant Aramco reported a $106.25 billion profit in 2024 on Tuesday, down 12% from the prior year as lower energy prices now squeeze the kingdom’s multi-trillion-dollar development plans.

Already, Saudi’s de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been digging for the $500 billion project to build the straight-line city of NEOM in Saudi Arabia’s western desert on the Red Sea. He also will need to build tens of billions of dollars’ worth of new stadiums and infrastructure ahead of the kingdom hosting the 2034 FIFA World Cup. Meanwhile, he’s also pledged potentially $600 billion in investments in the U.S. to entice President Donald Trump to the kingdom on his first foreign trip as president.

Saudi Arabia is also the possible venue for a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin over Moscow’s war on Ukraine.

All that and OPEC+ moving toward increasing production means Saudi Arabia likely will need to take on new debt to fund the crown prince’s vast ambitions.

A filing on Riyadh’s Tadawul stock exchange showed Aramco, formally known as the Saudi Arabian Oil Co., had revenues of $436 billion in 2024. That compares to $440.88 billion in 2023.

Aramco reported a $121 billion annual profit in 2023, down from its 2022 record due to lower energy prices as well.

“The decrease was primarily driven by lower revenue and other income related to sales, higher operating costs, as well as lower finance and other income,” Aramco said in its filing.

Stock in Aramco traded just over $7 a share Tuesday, down from a high over the last year of $8.71. It has fallen over the past year as oil prices have dropped. Benchmark Brent crude traded Tuesday at around $70 a barrel, down over 15% over the last year.

Aramco has a market value of $1.74 trillion, making it the world’s sixth-most valuable company behind Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Amazon and Alphabet, which owns Google.

The Aramco results come as OPEC+, an alliance of the oil cartel and other energyproducing states, met online Monday and agreed to proceed with an increase in oil production starting in April. It’s the first oil production increase by the group since 2022 and likely will push down oil prices further.

The increase slowly will add up to 2.2 million barrels of additional crude oil a day over the coming months.

“This is not the opening of the floodgates,” wrote Bjarne Schieldrop, the chief commodities analyst at SEB Research. “It is about lowering the oil price to a level that is acceptable for Putin, (Prince Mohammed), Trump, U.S. oil companies and the U.S. consumers.”

The OPEC+ decision follows criticism by Trump of the cartel as well.

Experts suggest the price per barrel for oil could sink to the $60 range, further tightening budgets in Saudi Arabia.

Bloomberg again tops list of biggest donors in U.S. Former NyC mayor top philanthropist

BY MARIA DI MENTO and JIM RENDON

Chronicle of Philanthropy For the second year in a row, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg gave the most to charitable causes, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s exclusive Philanthropy 50 list of the Americans who donated the largest sums to nonprofits last year.

In 2024, he gave a total of $3.7 billion to support arts, education, the environment, public-health groups and programs aimed at improving city governments. He gives directly to charities and through his Bloomberg Philanthropies, which last year awarded a $1 billion grant to his alma mater, Johns Hopkins

University, to make medical school free and to provide financial aid to nursing and public health students.

“I’ve never understood people who wait until they die to give away their wealth. Why deny yourself the satisfaction?” he wrote in an email to the Chronicle. “I’ve been very lucky, and I’m determined to do what I can to open doors for others and to leave a better world for my children and grandchildren.”

Bloomberg was one of six donors who gave $1 billion or more in 2024. The others were Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings and his wife, Patty Quillin (No. 2), Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell and his wife, Susan Dell (No. 3), investor Warren Buffett (No. 4), Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, physician Priscilla Chan (No. 5), and retired professor Ruth Gottesman (No. 6).

The majority of those gifts went to foundations and donor-advised funds that support causes including education, economic mobility, social justice and scientific research.

Gottesman, like Bloomberg, gave to make medical school free. She donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Together the 50 donors on the list contributed a total of $16.2 billion to charity in 2024. The median amount they gave was $100 million.

While those numbers are sizable, not all of the nation’s wealthiest people appear on the list. Only 19 of the richest Americans on the Forbes 400 list donated enough to appear in the Philanthropy rankings.

Among those who gave big — but are less well known: n Thomas Golisano, the billionaire founder of Paychex, is No. 8.

He gave away $500 million last year. Almost $400 million of that

went to 123 nonprofits in New York and Florida with no strings attached. About 90 of those gifts were $1 million to $5 million, often to small groups that rarely get contributions of that size. Many were to organizations that serve people with developmental, intellectual, and physical disabilities. The issue has great meaning to Golisano, whose son has a developmental disability. n Retired insurance executive Hyatt Brown and his wife, Cici, at No. 20, gave the Museum of Arts & Sciences, in Daytona Beach, Florida, $150 million for a new building and to turn its current home into a children’s museum. n Businesswoman and venture capital investor Michele Kang, at No. 28, gave $84 million last year, including $4 million to help the USA Women’s Rugby Sevens team prepare for the Olympics.

Such a plan will force many EU member states to greatly increase their military spending, which is still below 2% of gross domestic product. NATO SecretaryGeneral Mark Rutte has told the member states they need to move to more than 3% as quickly as possible.

The plan will now be the blueprint for Thursday’s summit, although immediate decisions beyond strong commitments were unlikely.

Aiding Ukraine Von der Leyen said her plan would also help Ukraine as it struggles now, especially with any joint purchase of military materiel. “With this equipment, member states can massively step up their support to Ukraine,” she said.

Such measures are all the more essential since President Donald Trump directed a “pause” to U.S. assistance to Ukraine as he seeks to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to engage in negotiations to end the war with Russia. In sharp contrast, the EU has always said that it wants Zelenskyy to negotiate from a position of strength, necessitating more arms for Kyiv, rather than less.

Washington’s move came just days after a disastrous Oval Office meeting in which

Trump tore into Zelenskyy for what he perceived as insufficient gratitude for the more than $180 billion the U.S. has appropriated for military aid and other assistance to Kyiv since the start of Russia’s invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.

In Europe, Trump’s move was also seen as yet more proof it could no longer count on the trans-Atlantic alliance that has been the bedrock of geopolitics since World War II. “Some of our fundamental assumptions are being undermined to their very core,” von der Leyen wrote to EU leaders ahead of Thursday’s summit. “The pace of change is disconcerting and increasingly alarming.”

Hopes for Hungary Within the EU, unanimity is often necessary for agreements on international affairs and Ukraine, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has often kept the 26 other member states back.

Over the weekend, Orbán already indicated in a letter that he would oppose draft conclusions that center on the defense of Ukraine and its place at the negotiating table. But summit host and EU Council President Antonio Costa is hopeful that on common defense, Orbán will not play the spoiler.

MELBOURNE, Australia — An Australian man credited with saving 2.4 million babies through his recordbreaking blood plasma donations over six decades, has died, his family said Tuesday. He was 88.

James Harrison, a retired state railway department clerk, died in a nursing home on the central coast of New South Wales state on Feb. 17, according to his grandson, Jarrod Mellowship.

Harrison’s plasma contained a rare antibody, known as anti-D, which is used to make injections that protect unborn babies from hemolytic disease of the newborn, in which a pregnant woman’s immune system attacks her fetus’ red blood cells. The disease is most common when a woman has an Rh negative blood type and her baby’s is Rh positive.

Australia has only 200 anti-D donors who help 45,000 mothers and their babies annually.

It’s clear his proposals have driven the region to come to the table rather than allow this issue to devolve into further crisis.”

A spokesperson for Israel’s foreign ministry, Oren Marmorstein, posted on X that the Egyptian plan “fails to address the realities of the situation” and said the summit’s joint communique does not mention Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack that sparked the war or condemn the militant group. The plan, he said, remains “rooted in outdated perspectives.”

Marmorstein reiterated Israel’s support for Trump’s plan to resettle Gaza’s population elsewhere, describing it as “an opportunity for the Gazans to have free choice based on their free will.”

Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty blasted Israel’s rejection as “unacceptable,” describing its position as “stubborn and extremist.”

“There will be no peace neither to Israel or to the region” without establishing an independent Palestinian state in accordance with United Nations resolutions, he said. He said “Israel vio-

every window i d with

lates all international law rules … the international law must be imposed.”

“No single state should be allowed to impose its will on the international community,” Abdelatty said.

Hamas welcomed the summit’s outcome, saying it marked a new phase of Arab and Islamic alignment with the Palestinian cause and that it valued Arab leaders’ rejection of attempts to transfer Palestinians from their territories in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Israel has embraced what it says is an alternative U.S. proposal for the ceasefire itself and the release of hostages taken in Hamas’ attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which triggered the war. Israel has blocked the entry of food, fuel, medicine and other supplies to Gaza to try to get Hamas to accept the new proposal and has warned of additional consequences, raising fears of a return to fighting.

The suspension of aid drew widespread criticism, with human rights groups saying that it violated Israel’s obligations as an occupying power under international law.

“He did it for the right reasons. As humble as he was, he did like the attention. But he would never do it for the attention,” Mellowship said, adding his grandfather had been surprised to be recognized by Guinness World Records in 2005 as the person who had donated the most blood plasma in the world.

The record was beaten in 2022 by American Brett Cooper from Walker, Michigan.

The Australian Red Cross Blood Service said Harrison was renowned as the “Man with the Golden Arm.” He was credited with saving the lives of 2.4 million babies through his plasma donations, the national agency responsible for collecting and distributing blood products, also known as Lifeblood, said in a statement.

Lifeblood chief executive Stephen Cornelissen said Harrison had hoped that someone in Australia would one day beat his donation record.

Arab leaders endorse Egypt’s plan to rebuild Gaza CAIRO — Arab leaders on Tuesday endorsed Egypt’s postwar plan for the Gaza Strip that would allow its roughly 2 million Palestinians to remain, in a counterproposal to U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to depopulate the territory and redevelop it as a beach destination.

The $53 billion plan’s endorsement by Arab leaders at a summit in Cairo amounted to a rejection of Trump’s proposal. The summit conclusions were welcomed by Hamas, rejected by Israel and given a lukewarm response by the Trump administration.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi expressed his appreciation for “the consensus among the Arab countries to support the reconstruction plan for the Gaza Strip, which allows the Palestinian People to stay on their land without displacement.”

In a social media post after the summit, el-Sissi said he looked forward to working with Trump, other Arab nations and the international community “to adopt a plan that aims for a comprehensive and just settlement of the Palestinian Issue, ends the root causes of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, guarantees the security and stability of the peoples of the region and establishes the Palestinian State.”

The White House welcomed input from Arab nations, but insisted Hamas could not remain in power.

“President Trump has been clear that Hamas cannot continue to govern Gaza,” White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said. “While the President stands by his bold

BY QUINN COFFMAN Staff writer

For the first time since a 20-year-old Southern University student died last week, the university and Baton Rouge authorities said Tuesday his death is being investigated by law enforcement as a possible act of fraternity hazing.

University officials said in a statement they actively support the ongoing criminal investigation of an “alleged act of hazing” that led to the death of Caleb Wilson, a junior engineering student.

Wilson, a Kenner native, died Thursday morning at a Baton Rouge hospital after he was found in North Sherwood Forest Park.

The investigation by the Baton Rouge Police Department and East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney’s Office to determine the circumstances of Wilson’s death involves members of the Beta Sigma Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., university officials said.

Baton Rouge police described its probe in this case as a hazing investigation, but would not confirm Tuesday if it is treating Wil-

“this beloved student,” a Human Jukebox trumpet player. Once the probe is complete, university officials will take appropriate action, they said.

The university said hazing is a violation of the school’s rules and regulations, as well as a violation of Louisiana law, adding “it will not be tolerated in any form at Southern University,” according to the school’s statement.

“The well-being of our students is a part of our mission to provide an extraordinary education for thousands of students,” the statement says.

“We support punishment to the fullest extent of the law for anyone committing an act of violence that impedes a student from safely and successfully matriculating at Southern.”

Meanwhile, a full autopsy report on Wilson is not complete, East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner’s Office chief of investigations Shane Tindall said Friday.

The cause and manner of his death are undetermined pending additional tests, Tindall said.

Wilson’s family thanked the community Friday for its “unwavering” support.

returned to the Sheriff’s Office to work part-time. Corey Wilson also has worked security details for New Orleans Saints and Pelicans owner Gayle Benson. Caleb Wilson’s mother is a student at Southern University’s New Orleans campus.

On Friday, Omega Psi Phi International declined to comment when an Advocate reporter asked to confirm Caleb Wilson’s affiliation with the fraternity.

The fraternity had released a statement earlier that day mourning his loss, as well, saying it fully supported the investigation of his death.

Southern University halted all club recruiting activities at the Baton Rouge campus late Thursday, including those related to Greek life. The indefinite suspension was due to Caleb Wilson’s death, a university spokesperson said.

In its Tuesday statement, Southern officials noted the halt of club recruiting, calling it a “ban on membership intake for all student organizations that remains in effect until further notice.”

Omega Psi Phi also was kicked off Southern’s Baton Rouge campus in 2005, archives from The Advocate | The Times-Picayune show.

verely beaten, with injuries that led to internal bleeding.

More recently, Omega Psi Phi was kicked off LSU’s campus in 2016 after university officials found the fraternity responsible for complicity, endangerment and hazing violations of the student code of conduct. LSU found the fraternity “engaged in hazing activities.” They included sleep deprivation, personal servitude, 5 a.m. workouts, skipping class and more.

Omega Psi Phi has since returned to LSU’s campus.

The Louisiana Legislature sought to tighten laws around hazing after the 2017 death of Max Gruver, an LSU student who was pledging Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Gruver was forced to drink excessively during a fraternity ritual called “Bible Study.”

Gruver’s death sparked changes in state law that elevated criminal hazing to a felony. That prompted LSU and the national fraternity to reach legal settlements with the Gruver family and led to the negligent homicide conviction of a Phi Delta fraternity member.

Julie was 523-5872. born on May 4, 1941, in the lively city of New Orleans, Louisiana, where she embraced the local culture and festivities with joy and enthusiasm throughout her life.

Julie's journey began as the cherished daughter of Henry W Bond, Florence C Bond and adopted father Welman L Bond. She grew up alongside her siblings Richard Bond and Flo Bazajou.

Her love story with Francis Boudreaux, her late husband, was one for the ages, filled with tenderness and mutual respect.

Together they raised two sons, Mark (Yvette) and Timothy (Michelle), both of whom inherited Julie's kind spirit and zest for life. Julie was a beacon of love and guidance for her grandchildren Noelle Presley, Derric Boudreaux (Leslie), Dallas Boudreaux-Cortes (Dennis), and Ava Boudreaux, as well as her great-granddaughter, Julianna Presley. Although she experienced the profound loss of her beloved granddaughter, Madison Boudreaux, Julie's capacity for love never waned, and she continued to be a source of strength and inspiration for her family.

Julie's enthusiasm for her hometown's culture was infectious. She was a regular at the French Quarter Festival and relished the annual celebration of Mardi Gras. Her spirit soared with the crowds, and she could often be found cheering on her beloved New Orleans Saints, her loyalty as unwavering as her love for her city.

In honor of that spirit, a graveside service for family and friends will be held at Garden of Memories (4900 Airline Dr. Metairie, LA 70001) on Friday, March 7th beginning at 12:00 PM with a brief celebration.

Brechtel Jr., Sheldon F. 'Skip'

Sheldon Francis Brechtel, Jr., affectionately known as "Skip," passed peacefully at his home on February 23, 2025, surrounded by his family.

Skip was born on March 1, 1951 to Sheldon Brechtel, Sr. "Shelly" and Audrey Abadie Brechtel. Skip grew up with his three siblings, Gerard "Jerry," William "Billy," and Joy (Spansel), on Hastings Place in the Irish Channel. At an early age, Skip developed a love of sports, playing basketball and baseball around the corner from his home at Kingsley House. He excelled in sports during high school at Redemptorist where, as a senior, he was team captain of the basketball team and earned accolades of All-District, All-City, and top district scorer. He continued his basketball career on a scholarship to Loyola University where he played starting guard for the Wolfpack in 1972. Outside of sports, Skip was voted "Ideal Boy" of Redemptorist High School in 1969. On December 22, 1972, Skip married the love of his life, Patricia Clade. In their 52-year marriage, Skip and Patti raised their three children, Kelly, Kyle, and Kate. He was affectionately loved as "Paw Paw" for the last 22 years

by Jackson, Mason, and Abby Becker, Charlotte Brechtel, and Lee and Cole Ryan. Skip shared a special relationship with his two sons-in-law, Justin Becker and Matt Ryan. Skip will also be missed by his brothers and sisters-in-law, as well as 13 nieces and nephews. Skip's career spanned industries in accounting, business operations, insurance and technology. Skip ultimately started his own insurance company at age 45 which merged with his presentday company, CCMSI. While Skip could not convince any of his three kids to come to work for CCMSI,

nology. Skip ultimately started his own insurance company at age 45 which merged with his presentday company, CCMSI. While Skip could not convince any of his three kids to come to work for CCMSI, he did recruit six of his nieces and nephews to join him. Skip had a special affection for his clients, colleagues, and employees, with whom he often traveled and hosted at his home. Bar none, Skip's favorite past-time was golfing, whether it be at Chateau Country Club (where he scored his holein-one), English Turn, City Park, Pensacola Country Club, and even sharing a foursome with his son and sons-in-law at Pebble Beach. Golfing also blessed Skip with some of his greatest and lifelong friends. Skip also enjoyed taking his boat out on Lake Pontchartrain, taking pictures of the sunsets at the beach, and traveling—whether it be European river cruises, meeting friends in Abaco, or the wine country in California and France. Skip had a deep faith which inspired him to lifelong efforts in serving his community. He served as President of the Christian Brothers Foundation and chaired the auction and routinely worked the fair at the Academy of the Sacred Heart. Skip cherished his time as a longtime board member and ultimately, President, of Kingsley House, now known as Clover, where he used to play as a child.

After almost 74 years of sharing his love of life, faith, hard work, and genuine positive outlook, Skip was called home to the Lord where undoubtedly he was greeted with "Well done! What a life welllived!" Family and friends are invited to celebrate Skip at a service to be held on Saturday, March 8 at St. Mary's Assumption Church, 923 Josephine St., in New Orleans. Visitation will be held from 9:30-11 am, with mass to follow. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Skip's name to Clover (formerly Kingsley House) at https:// clovernola.org/ways-togive, or Amigos for Christ at https://amigosforchrist. org/ways-to-give.

Additionally, Skip's family would appreciate anyone who would give blood in his name, as Skip received regular blood and platelet transfusions throughout his illness. lll

Gagliano, Joseph

Eugene “Gene” Fischer, Jr. of Metairie, Louisiana, passed away peacefully, on February 28, 205 at the age of 84. He was preceded in death by his parents, Eu‐ gene Fischer, Sr. and Juanita Harris Fischer, his beloved son, Eugene John Fischer, and his son-in-law, George Bradbury. He is sur‐ vived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Joann Fischer, his daughters, Kathy Fis‐ cher Bradbury and Betsy A. Fischer, and his grand‐ daughters, Sarah Bradbury, Emily Bradbury, Ella Fis‐ cher, and Gabrielle Fischer.

A proud graduate of War‐ ren Easton High School, Gene later joined his father in founding Fischer’s Jew‐ elry, building a family busi‐ ness that became a cher‐ ished part of the commu‐ nity. Gene had a deep pas‐ sion for fishing, his dogs, Mardi Gras and LSU foot‐ ball. He never met a fish he did not want to catch, a dog he did not want to pet, a parade he did not want to ride in or an LSU game that he did not watch.

Whether casting a line, spending time with his four-legged friends, throw‐ ing beads, or cheering for the Tigers, he embraced life with warmth and en‐ thusiasm. Gene partici‐ pated in Mardi Gras to the fullest. He was Sargon of the Knights of Babylon, “Boss” of the Phunny Phorty Phellows, Float Lieutenant in Hermes, and Captain of DSMCCI, his club that rode on Mardi Gras day and the St. Patrick’s Parade on Metairie Road. He also be‐ longed to several other Mardi Gras organizations.

He served as escort for his wife, daughters and grand‐ daughters when they were presented as Queen and Maids. He was a Fourth De‐ gree member of the Knights of Columbus Bi‐ enville Province at St. Christopher Parish #4508, Order of the Alhambra, and the Fireman’s Charitable and Benevolent Associa‐ tion and Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

Gene’s warmth, generosity, and love for life will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and the many lives he touched.

Family and friends are in‐ vited to attend funeral ser‐ vices at St. Christopher the Martyr Catholic Church, 309 Manson Avenue, Metairie, LA 70001. Visita‐ tion will begin at 10:30 am on Friday, March 7, 2025, followed by a Catholic mass at 12:30 pm to honor Gene’s life. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family requests masses or donations to St. Christopher the Martyr Church, 309 Manson Av‐ enue, Metairie, LA 70001 or Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, 411 North Rampart, New Orleans, LA 70112.

Ford, Stephen Perry

On Saturday, December 28th, 2024, Stephen "Steve" Perry Ford, age 67 of Joelton, Tennessee, passed on to be with our Lord.

Steve spent his younger years between California and Mississippi and resided in New Orleans for most of his adult life.

He was a talented computer networking analyst by trade. Steve was a caring, generous, kind, and easygoing man. Not to mention a skillful handyman. He was quick witted and could always make you smile. He had a deep love of family and loved spending time with family and friends. He also enjoyed spending time with his beloved dog, Summer, and cat, Tom Kitty. He liked hiking, traveling, working out, and helping others.

He was an immense be‐ liever and proponent of ed‐ ucation, especially higher education. Joe encouraged his wife of 42 years, Hetty, to complete her master’s degree and beyond, and she did in the year 2000.

Joe adored his mother and loved her deeply. He would be so elated when she would cook and say, “Joe, come on over I cooked.”

She didn’t need to ask him twice. Joe enjoyed travel‐ ing, food, family, and his pets. He had great affec‐ tion for his beloved dog, Xena, and his surrogate dog, Pauley. Also, he was a true angler; his favorite pastime was fishing from onshore, a boat, or a fish‐ ing camp. Joe would have a big smile on his face when he brought home an ice chest full of fish. He was very devoted to his nieces and nephews. Joe loved spending time with all of them, talking and taking them to a variety of restau‐ rants. Joe was the property manager for Distribution Row Inc. and Star Realty In‐ vestments LLC. He retired a few years ago from operat‐ ing Star Cigarette & Amusements Inc. Joe was preceded in death by his father, Frank Gagliano Sr., and 11 months prior by his brother, Jack Gagliano. He will be deeply missed by his beloved wife, Hetty Cazaux Gagliano, and cher‐ ished mother, Phylis R. Gagliano. Also, he will be sadly missed by his sib‐ lings: Frank Gagliano Jr. (Gina), Philip (Mary), and Anna (Albert). His nieces and nephews share in the sadness and loss of “Uncle Joe Leona Saputo, Phylis Gagliano, Toni Gagliano (godchild), Frank Gagliano III (godchild), Vincent Gagliano, Joseph Saputo, and Mary Frances Gagliano.

OPINION N O L A.C O M/opinions

OUR VIEWS

Ash Wednesday reminds us of the importance of reflection Editor’s note: This editorial, slightly modified, has appeared on previous Ash Wednesdays in this newspaper.

To get a “black mark,” we understand from the common lexicon, isn’t a good thing — except on Ash Wednesday, when many Christians observe the beginning of Lent with a smudge of ash on their foreheads as a reminder of their mortality.

The message is more relevant than ever: “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,” as the Ash Wednesday admonition goes, a somber recognition that in the great cycle of earthly life, none of us is here for very long.

It’s a reality that resonates among those of all faiths, or even those with no particular religious faith at all, although our culture does much to deny it.

Cosmetics and fashion falsely promise eternal youth, and politics promotes the equally hollow promise of power as a permanent commodity, as if our smallest desires might be attained by legislation or decree.

Ash Wednesday points us to a different — and healthier — perspective on the human condition, one that acknowledges the limits of personal ambition, the boundaries of earthly human life itself.

Lent reminds us how small we are in the scheme of things, a welcome corrective to the narcissism of our politics, the narrowness of our generosity, the nastiness of reality TV and the darker corners of social media.

The start of Lent today also means another chance to embrace the cause of personal improvement, a prospect that couldn’t come at a better time.

This is the point of the year, after all, when many of us realize that those well-meaning New Year’s resolutions haven’t come to very much.

Many people use Lent as a season to either give up some small pleasure, like chocolate or cake, or resolve to do something extra, like helping a neighbor or volunteering at a food bank.

The hope is that these small personal disciplines will help deepen our spiritual resolve for bigger challenges. As we move through a divisive time in our country, we also hope that our Lenten practices help us lessen the vitriol rampant in our society and elevate our political discourse.

At the very least, Lent brings the news that although we remain imperfect in a year still young, there’s a new opportunity to become a little thinner, a little stronger, maybe even a little kinder.

And with Friday fish fries and crawfish boils, Easter and Lent are also linked in a spirit of fellowship.

Although Lent isn’t meant to be a jolly time, it serves as a bridge between winter and spring.

The march of Lent is taking us, slowly but surely, to a warmer place, a destination softened by pastel skies, greening lawns, a flowering landscape.

A new season, blessedly, is just around the corner.

Carbon capture key to Louisiana’s energy future

Cartoonist stood up for what is right

Louisiana has established itself as a global leader and forward-thinking energy source, thanks to our strong workforce and infrastructure, our proximity to offshore energy resources and ongoing investments in innovative technology like carbon capture and sequestration. With today’s pro-energy leadership at both the state and federal level, as well as the strong support from the oil and natural gas industry, Louisiana’s CCS investments will continue to play an intricate role as we enter the next phase of America-first energy dominance.

CCS is complimentary to oil and natural gas, not its competitor. If you’re proenergy, pro-Louisiana and pro-oil and natural gas, then you should support CCS too.

The industry’s interest in low-carbon energy production remains strong, and Louisiana’s energy companies are among the top investors in CCS technology.

The state has received over $20 billion in private investment for CCS projects, creating thousands of jobs and positioning Louisiana as a global hub for this essential technology.

I, respectfully, disagree with letter writer Clarence A. Sprick Jr.’s opinion criticizing Walt Handelsman’s cartoon. What Sprick calls “hatred” for conservatives, specifically Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, I call love of humanity, in conformity to the teachings of Jesus Christ. We are not called to hate people, but we are called to condemn hateful actions.

It is our responsibility to speak out against actions that are inhumane and unconscionable. This is what God is calling us to do.

Handelsman used his talents to shine the spotlight on behaviors that are despicable. Many in positions of leadership lack backbone to go against the hatred that is on display by our president and Musk.

Sprick has the right to interpret the Musk Nazi salute however he wishes. I don’t think people cognizant of the Holocaust would approve of such a gesture. In fact, no caring, loving, respectful person would not be horrified by the utter hatred in the actions of Musk and President Donald Trump.

I believe many conservatives turned away from Christianity, specifically Jesus’ teachings, when they started watching Fox News. It was then, it appears to me, that something in their brains misfired. A priest I know is particularly upset with Roman Catholics who support President Trump. That makes perfect, legitimate sense to me. Since I never watched Fox News, I attribute that as to why my brain, along with many others’, has maintained the ability to think properly. As with many, we progressive liberals are horrified at the state of our country. However, we are not surprised.

Last year, regulators granted Louisiana primacy over class VI wells to expedite the permit process. This decision not only ensures safe and effective CCS activities, but it also safeguards and enhances CCS investment projects throughout the state. Major energy companies such as ExxonMobil, Shell and Air Products are already making significant strides in the class VI permit process, which demonstrates their long-term commitment to advancing CCS projects in Louisiana.

This journey to America-first energy dominance began during President Trump’s first term.

Under his new administration, the industry’s efforts have been reignited and Louisiana energy — and American energy — have never been better positioned to win. By embracing energy innovation like CCS in Louisiana, the industry can continue to deliver on the promise to expand American-made energy, securing both state and national energy interests while contributing to a cleaner and more prosperous future.

TOMMY FAUCHEUX president, Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association

Judicial system upholding basic principles of our Constitution now under attack Since Jan. 20, the Trump administration has undertaken a blitzkrieg attack on two fundamental principles of our Constitutional system: separation of powers and checks and balances.

The duty of the executive is to carry out the laws enacted by Congress. If a president wishes to pursue policies contrary to current law, he proposes legislation changing the law. If Congress agrees, those changes are made. Instead of following the legal route, Elon Musk, Russell Vought and other presidential delegates have simply closed down agencies created by Congress, impounded funds it appropriated and illegally accessed sensitive personal data in Treasury Department records.

The Constitutional remedy to redress such illegal actions is to resort to the judicial branch, whose role is to ensure that no branch encroaches on the power and authority of the others. As courts have begun to enter orders halting, at least temporarily, the administration’s illegal actions, President Donald Trump’s spokesmen have begun an astounding, if not surprising, campaign

to delegitimize any court enforcing laws they have violated.

On Feb. 9, Vice President JD Vance falsely compared rulings that Trump appointees committed illegal acts to a judge trying “to tell a general how to conduct a military operation” or “to command the attorney general how to use her discretion as a prosecutor.” A Yale law graduate, Vance knows that these situations are entirely different from those at issue. Earlier, Musk said Judge Paul Engelmayer should be impeached for blocking illegal DOGE actions and shared a post suggesting that the administration openly defy his order.

These attacks on the judiciary are alarming. If a president is allowed to disregard the law and ignore legitimate court rulings, our constitutional system has failed, and he has become a dictator.

Every citizen should fight back, regardless of sympathy with ultimate policy goals. Our democracy hangs in the balance.

which there is no intense experience of national purpose: “Students now arrive at the university ignorant and cynical about our political heritage, lacking the wherewithal to be either inspired by it or seriously critical of it.”

Much of today’s intelligentsia has what Karp calls a “vacant neutrality” regarding our national project, or the West generally, as distinct from other cultures. Karp: “At present, the principal features of American society that are shared are not civic or political, but rather cohere around entertainment, sports, celebrity, and fashion.” How many internet “influencers” influence anyone about anything concerning national survival?

Karp defines a “thin conception of belonging to the American community” — respect for two unquestionably indispensable components of a good society, individual rights and economic freedom. He prefers a “thicker conception.” It involves a grander narrative of “this wild and rich experiment in building a republic.” The current agnosticism, which borders on nihilism, about America’s virtue as a nation, Karp says, dilutes recognition that the nation-state is the indispensable means of “collective organization in pursuit of shared purpose.”

To some, reconnecting engineering and ethics is pointless. If all national identities are merely contingent emanations of transitory, unjudgable and hence ultimately fungible cultures, why make arduous and expensive preparations to be able to fight in defense of ours?

Don’t let ‘reverse discrimination’ reverse our national progress Marlean Ames of Akron, Ohio, is not gay or a member of a racial minority.

But, please, she points out, don’t hold that against her, as she alleges her employers have, as she takes her “reverse discrimination” case all the way to the Supreme Court.

I wish her well. As an African American male, I strongly oppose unfair discrimination against Clarence any race, gender or sexPage ual preference, although I also know the charge can be very difficult to prove.

Or, at least, it has been. Ames’ case aims to change that and, considering how much the high court and official Washington have shifted to the right in recent years, she could hardly have chosen a more opportune time to try.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments last week in her case, Ames v.

Ohio Department of Youth Services, which has drawn a lot of attention since it could redefine how discrimination claims of all types are handled under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The core issue is whether so-called “majority-group plaintiffs,” legal language for White or heterosexual employees who allege discrimination, are so unusual that they must meet a higher standard of evidence than other plaintiffs in such cases.

The NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund argued in a friend-ofthe-court brief in the case that different standards were appropriate for majority and minority groups because minorities are historically the target of discrimination.

Before Ames’ suit went to trial, lower courts ruled against her, finding that she was unable to meet that standard. Ames’ lawyers argue that the standard is unconstitutional.

So do the Trump administration and other conservative legal groups.

v. Bakke, the 1978 landmark Supreme Court case that challenged the use of racial quotas in college admissions.

The court ruled in favor of Bakke, finding that the university’s affirmative action program violated the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment.

When the high court ruled against specific racial quotas, many defenders of such policies mourned the beginning of the end for civil rights reforms.

Instead, the effort to protect and defend civil rights continues despite periodic pushbacks yet also with many refinements and improvements.

Media and government spats not only in big cities There was a sinking feeling in my stomach when I read the story of the Clarksdale Press Register, a newspaper in northwest Mississippi that had been ordered by a court to take down an online editorial that was critical of local leaders.

As a newspaperman, I am dismayed whenever the government steps in to prevent something from being published. The freedom of the press from government interference, as specifically guaranteed by the First Amendment, is a bedrock constitutional principle that courts should protect rather than trample. I’m even more dismayed when a court doesn’t vigorously protect the Faimon rights of the publisher.

Roberts But I’m never surprised.

Conflicts between elected leaders and the media are nothing new.

Like almost all reporters, I have fielded angry calls and threats from politicians who didn’t like something I wrote. Sometimes they threaten to sue. The prospect of civil or even criminal legal action can provoke worry, even if the claims seem legally frivolous and threat-issuers rarely follow through.

But when they do, it can be devastating. Joan Meyer, the 98-year old owner of the Macon County Record, a tiny newspaper in Kansas, died after police raided the paper’s office and her home, seizing phones and computers as part of a 2023 investigation into whether someone at the paper may have committed a crime by using a government website to confirm a tip.

That raid was clearly illegal, and the police chief behind it was later charged. But that’s likely of little consolation to Eric Meyer, Joan’s son and the publisher of the paper.

The Kansas case was an extreme example of a blatantly unconstitutional action causing actual harm. In other words, it was far from the “theoretical harm” the leaders of Clarksdale claimed they faced.

There, the newspaper was not given notice of an upcoming meeting of the city’s board of commissioners. At that meeting, the board approved a resolution calling on the Mississippi Legislature to pass a 2% tax on alcohol, marijuana and tobacco.

All in all, a pretty minor development. City councils pass resolutions all the time. Many are forgotten as soon as the votes are counted.

But what angered the city’s mayor and commissioners was that the paper then wrote an editorial criticizing the city for not advertising the meeting, which included the following lines: “Have commissioners or the mayor gotten kickback from the community? Until Tuesday, we had not heard of any. Maybe they just want a few nights in Jackson to lobby for this idea — at public expense.”

At a subsequent meeting, the commissioners voted to ask a judge to force the paper to remove the piece from its website. The city argued that the mayor, Chuck Espy, a Democrat, had suffered due to the “libelous assertions and statements” made in the editorial.

That’s bad enough. But even worse, they got a judge to agree. In her ruling, Hinds County Chancery Judge Crystal Wise Martin said the publication interfered with public figures’ “legitimate function to advocate for legislation.” I mean, come on.

Wyatt Emmerich, the paper’s publisher, said he believed the suit was fueled by enmity Espy feels stemming from earlier reports in the Press Register about pay increases in city government and other issues. Emmerich acknowledged that the editorial should have used the word “pushback” instead of “kickback,” but noted that regardless of the poor word choice, the editorial still fell clearly under the First Amendment.

The Clarksdale Press Register is a small outfit that serves a city of 14,000. It’s not hard to imaging a pitched legal battle becoming a real financial crisis for the newspaper. Thankfully, some First Amendment advocacy groups are available to lend legal expertise pro bono.

The assistance of those advocates should have been unnecessary. Judges, including the one who granted the motion, are supposed to be First Amendment guardians since it’s, you know, in the U.S. Constitution and all. This judge should have tossed the motion as soon as it landed in her court.

But there’s a happy ending. Last week, the city dropped its lawsuit. Maybe, just maybe, the mayor and the other city leaders looked the legal merits of the case and decided it wouldn’t stick.

Maybe cooler heads prevailed.

But I doubt it. I think what happened is that they suddenly found themselves the center of media attention they really didn’t like, from outlets that would be much tougher to intimidate, including The New York Times and The Associated Press.

Maybe, in their zeal to suppress legitimate coverage, they actually got more — and much worse — media coverage than they ever dreamed.

Long live the Press Register. Thank God and our country’s founders for a free press.

LSU puts 3 on All-SEC first team

BY REED DARCEY

Staff writer

The LSU women’s basketball team’s three stars are featured prominently in the Southeastern Conference’s 2025 postseason awards, the league office unveiled Tuesday.

League coaches voted Aneesah Morrow, Flau’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams onto Morrow the All-SEC first team.

Morrow also was given a spot on the all-defensive team.

Texas forward Madison Booker is the SEC Player of the Year; Kentucky forward Clara Strack is Defensive Player of the Year; and Johnson Kentucky point guard Georgia Amoore is the Newcomer of the Year.

Longhorns coach Vic Schaefer was named Coach of the Year.

LSU, the only team with multiple first-team honorees, put three Williams players onto the AllSEC first team for the first time in program history. That’s happened only 10 times in league history, most recently in 2016 when a trio of South Carolina stars cracked the group.

Since SEC play began, Morrow, Johnson and Williams have each scored at least 17 points per game.

Morrow also has grabbed 13.7 rebounds per contest, the most in the nation. On Sunday, in the Tigers’ 85-77

SEC tourney ‘toughest’ in many years

BY STEVE REED

AP sportswriter

GREENVILLE, S.C. — Dawn Staley has won eight Southeastern Conference Tournament titles since taking over as head coach at South Carolina in 2008.

She sees winning a ninth as the biggest challenge yet.

To say the SEC is loaded is an understatement. The conference boasts five teams in the top 12 of the most recent AP poll, including No. 1 ä SEC Texas, No. 5 South Carotournament lina, No. 9 LSU, No. 10 glance.

Oklahoma and No. 12 PAGE 5C Kentucky. In all, seven teams are ranked in the Top 25, and that doesn’t include 17-time tournament champion Tennessee.

The SEC is so competitive that the Sooners, despite their top-10 ranking, finished fifth in the conference and didn’t even receive a double bye in the tournament.

“By far, the toughest,” Staley said of this year’s level of competition in the SEC Tournament compared to previous seasons.

South Carolina (27-3) will be the No. 1 seed for the fourth straight season after winning a coin flip on Sunday with Texas.

Both teams finished 15-1 in conference play and split the season series with South Carolina winning 67-50 on Jan. 12 in Columbia and the Longhorns responding with a 66-62 victory in Austin on Feb. 9. A highly anticipated rubber match could come Sunday in Greenville — if both teams are able to make it through the gauntlet that awaits.

The Gamecocks have plenty of biggame experience. They’ve won four of the last five SEC Tournament titles and two of the last three national championships. But Staley said all of that “goes down the drain” this year given the

This highlight for Collins, who returned to play his old team for the first time, was one of the few good moments LSU had as it lost 95-64 to No. 19 Kentucky.

Kentucky’s largest lead was 35 points with 11 minutes left in the game, and the 31-point loss was the Tigers’ biggest of the season, tying its defeat against Texas.

“As disappointed as I am in our performance, I got to give them great credit for the way they played tonight,” LSU coach Matt McMahon said on LSU Sports Radio. “They really shared the ball well tonight, and we just struggled to get stops against their high-powered offense.”

Lakers, LeBron revel in Doncic trade

BY TIM REYNOLDS

AP basketball writer

The game hasn’t gotten easy for the Los Angeles Lakers since the trade deadline. It just looks that way.

Consider this moment from Sunday night’s win over the Clippers: Jaxson Hayes got a defensive rebound, the NBA Notebook handed ball to Luka Doncic, who took one step forward and fired a 75-foot two-hand chest pass downcourt to LeBron James — who caught it in stride and capped the play with an easy layup.

Touchdown, Lakers. And Doncic and James have had a play like that in just about every game lately, or so it would seem.

A month or so has passed since The Trade — Doncic leaving the Dallas Mavericks and joining the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis — and the Lakers suddenly look like title contenders. They are a league-best 16-3 since Jan. 20 and went into Tuesday’s games sitting in the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference, a place that until now they hadn’t been since about the first week of the season.

“It’s been great,” Doncic said.

“The atmosphere has been unbelievable, and we just want to give the people what they want, and that’s winning the games. That’s what we’re doing right now.”

Sunday’s win was the 1,000th in which James has appeared in his regular season career, making him the fourth player to appear in that many victories after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,074), Robert Parish (1,013) and Tim Duncan (1,001).

And now, another milestone: James is one point away from 50,000 for his career when combining regular-season and postseason games, and that bridge will almost certainly be crossed Tuesday night against New Orleans.

Only two other players — AbdulJabbar and Karl Malone — have scored at least 40,000 points when adding in playoffs. And technically, James is already over 50,000 but his 99 points from play-in tournament games and the 2023 NBA Cup title game (then just called the in-season tournament) don’t count.

“He’s one of the greatest competitors. … He’s amazing to coach,” Lakers coach JJ Redick

AP sportswriter

DALLAS — Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving has a torn ACL in his left knee and will miss the rest of the season, the biggest setback in a season full of them for a team that traded superstar Luka Doncic.

The team confirmed Irving’s diagnosis Tuesday, a day after he was injured in the first quarter of Dallas’ 122-98 loss to the Sacramento Kings. Following the injury, Irving made two free throws with tears rolling down his cheeks before leaving the game.

The 32-year-old was fouled by DeMar DeRozan on a drive to the basket and his right foot landed on the foot of the Kings’ Jonas Valanciunas. Irving lost his balance and then landed awkwardly on his left leg, and his knee appeared to hyperextend before he fell to the floor.

The Mavericks lost 10-time AllStar Anthony Davis to a groin injury in his Dallas debut last month following the seismic trade that sent Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The presence of Irving was the biggest reason the Mavericks felt they could proceed with the controversial Davis-for-Doncic deal, a move that infuriated the Dallas

Make it five straight Southeastern Conference freshman of the week awards and seven overall for LSU gymnast Kailin Chio in her superb inaugural season.

SEC honors were released Tuesday with the Henderson, Nevada, native taking her familiar honors from the league office.

This week’s award comes on the heels of her performance Friday in the Podium Challenge at the Raising Cane’s River Center. Chio took home uneven bars and balance beam titles with 9.95 scores, and finished second to senior Haleigh Bryant in the all-around competition with a 39.675. Chio leads LSU with 16 individual titles and is the nation’s fifth-ranked all-arounder with a season average of 39.635.

She is second in the nation on vault and tied for fourth on beam.

Ankle injury to sideline Grizzlies All-Star Jackson

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two-time AllStar Jaren Jackson Jr. is week to week with a sprained left ankle for Memphis after the center-forward was hurt a couple minutes into the Grizzlies’ latest loss.

The Grizzlies updated Jackson’s status Tuesday as a Grade 2 sprain. Jackson left the game at 10:21 of the first quarter of Monday night’s 132-130 loss to Atlanta.

The Grizzlies will provide further updates as necessary. The timing of this injury couldn’t be worse for Memphis.

The Grizzlies have lost three straight and six of eight to drop from second in the Western Conference standings to fourth, a game back of both the Lakers and Denver in the standings.

Eagles make Barkley highest-paid RB ever

He sets the standard for how you’re supposed to approach this craft and to me, that’s the most incredible thing.”

There were other trades before the deadline that teams are seeing dividends from, including Golden State and Cleveland. Dallas had hope before Davis got hurt in his sensational debut game with the team.

But now he’s hurt, the Mavs were already beaten up by other injuries and then they lost Kyrie Irving to a torn ACL on Monday night — another enormous blow to the team and its defeated fan base.

Time, and more accurately playoff results, will be the real gauge on how the trades helped teams like the Lakers and Warriors.

But for James and the Lakers, right now, everything is looking as good as can be. The team will host Southern California first responders and affected community members Tuesday as part of the

continued response to the wildfires that devastated parts of Los Angeles earlier this winter. The wins are piling up. The milestones keep coming. They keep rising in the standings.

“I think we could be really good going down the stretch,” James said at the All-Star Game.

He’s been proved right again.

Warriors rolling After Golden State’s acquisition of Jimmy Butler from Miami the Warriors are still hovering around the play-in line in an absolutely jammed race for spots 6 through 10 in the West. Butler’s mere presence seems to have given the Warriors a boost.

He demands defenses to respect him, which is excellent news for Stephen Curry — who had a 56-point game last week in Orlando on a night when Butler wasn’t much of an offensive factor.

“There’s still unique skillsets in this league at the superstar level,”

Curry said of Butler. “And he’s a guy that has clearly defined a style that impacts winning at both ends of the floor. You see how much he’s helped us so far. … He’s succeeded at the highest level. He’s gone to two finals and he’s motivated more than ever to try to get back there.”

Deal improves Cavs The Cavaliers made a very savvy move before the trade window closed, adding De’Andre Hunter from Atlanta. The Cavs were good before the trade. They’re even better after.

Entering Monday, the Cavs were 8-0 with Hunter in the lineup — winning those eight games by an average of nearly 19 points. One of the few close ones was Sunday, when Cleveland had to dig deep to rally past Portland with Hunter leading the way.

“I didn’t think we were going to win the game. De’Andre really took us from the abyss,” Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said.

Irving out for season after ACL tear

fan base.

Now, Irving is out for the season, and would figure to be in the final stages of recovery when teams report for training camp for the 2025-26 season. Irving has a $44 million player option for next season.

After he was hurt, Irving grabbed his leg and remained on the floor for multiple minutes.

Davis was among those helping Irving to the locker room before coach Jason Kidd spoke to Irving, who then returned to take two free throws. After converting both to pull Dallas within 23-18, Irving was helped into the tunnel.

Irving’s decision to shoot free throws was reminiscent of the late Kobe Bryant, who made two game-tying foul shots for the Los Angeles Lakers after tearing his Achilles tendon late in the fourth quarter of a victory over Golden State on April 12, 2013.

“That’s just who, I mean, Kai’s a tough guy,” Kidd said. “I asked him as they were taking him off the court, ‘Are you good if you leave without shooting? You’re ruled out.’ So they took him to the free-throw line, and he shot the free throws and then we got him out.”

Saquon Barkley will become the highest-paid running back in NFL history after his record-setting season helped the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl.

The Eagles are giving Barkley a two-year contract extension worth $41.2 million with $36 million guaranteed, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday under the condition of anonymity. Barkley’s new deal includes $15 million in incentives. Barkley ran for 2,504 yards in the regular season and playoffs, breaking Terrell Davis’ record for most yards rushing combined in one season.

He had 2,005 yards in the regular season before sitting out the final game with a chance to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season mark.

Cowboys, DT Odighizuwa agree on 4-year contract

The Dallas Cowboys and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa agreed Tuesday on an $80 million, four-year contract with $58 million guaranteed, his agent said.

The agreement came a few hours before the deadline for clubs to apply the franchise tag on one player.

Odighizuwa was a consideration for the $25 million tag for defensive tackles. It includes a $20 million signing bonus.

The Cowboys also agreed to a one-year deal with special teams ace C.J. Goodwin and restructured star receiver CeeDee Lamb’s contract to create $20 million in salary cap space. Lamb signed a $136 million, four-year deal last year.

Odighizuwa was a 2021 third-round pick who blossomed into one of Dallas’ best defensive linemen.

Rangers All-Star OF García to undergo MRI for oblique

Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks holds onto his knee after suffering an injury against the Sacramento Kings in Dallas on Monday. to the playoffs. Dallas is 10th in the West, the final spot in the playin tournament.

The Mavericks are just nine months removed from Doncic and Irving leading them to the NBA Finals for the first time in 13 years. Dallas, which lost to Boston in five games, could become the fifth team to miss the playoffs the season after reaching the finals.

Irving earned his ninth All-Star appearance as an injury replacement this season. He averaged 24.7 points and shot 40% from 3-point range.

Davis, who was to be re-evaluat-

ed this week for a possible return, is one of three significant missing pieces on the Dallas front line along with centers Daniel Gafford (sprained knee) and Dereck Lively II (stress fracture in an ankle).

P.J. Washington Jr., another starter, has missed time recently with a right ankle sprain. After Irving’s injury against the Kings, backup guard Jaden Hardy exited with a sprained right ankle.

“It seems every time we get close to getting somebody back, someone goes down,” Kidd said.

“We’re running out of bodies here.”

Rangers outfielder Adolis García was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s spring training game against the Athletics and will undergo an MRI on his left oblique, the same one that he injured during their World Series run two years ago.

A two-time All-Star, García is trying to bounce back from a disappointing season in which he hit .224 with 24 homers and 85 RBIs in 154 games. He had six hits and two walks in 21 plate appearances so far this spring training.

The injury throws into question whether García will be available by opening day on March 27 against the Boston Red Sox. García is the second Rangers outfielder to be sidelined by an oblique injury this spring training after Wyatt Langford went down Feb. 21.

Only two NFL players get franchise tag

BY JOSH DUBOW

AP pro football writer Dallas signed defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa before the franchise tag deadline Tuesday and Minnesota declined to give the tag to quarterback Sam Darnold, clearing the way for him to hit the open market next week.

Only two players were given the tag for 2025 before Tuesday’s deadline with Cincinnati receiver Tee Higgins getting it on Monday and Kansas City guard Trey Smith getting it last week.

This marked a significant downturn in tags handed out from eight last season and an average of more than nine a year over the previous five seasons. The previous time only two or fewer players got tagged was in 1994 when Pittsburgh tight end Eric Green and Minnesota defensive tackle Henry Thomas were the only players, according to the NFL. Among the top players other than Darnold who can sign with any other team as free agents starting March 12 after not getting tagged are Tampa Bay receiver Chris Godwin, Miami safety Jevon Holland, Philadelphia defensive standouts Milton Williams, Zack Baun and Josh Sweat, and Baltimore left tackle Ronnie Stanley.

The Cowboys locked up Odighizuwa by agreeing to an $80 million, four-year contract with $58 million guaranteed, according to his agent. Agent Sam Leaf Ireifej confirmed the deal to The Associated Press and said it includes a

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold looks to pass against the Seattle Seahawks on Dec. 22 in Seattle. The Vikings did not put the franchise tag on Darnold. $20 million signing bonus. A franchise tag would have been worth $25.1 million for 2025.

Odighizuwa, a third-round pick in 2021, is coming off his best season with career highs with 41/ 2 sacks, 47 tackles and 23 quarter-

back hits.

Darnold had a breakthrough season in his only year in Minnesota, throwing for 4,319 yards and 35 TDs while posting a 102.5 passer rating. Darnold was drafted third overall by the New York Jets in

2018 but struggled mightily during three seasons with the Jets and two with Carolina.

After spending the 2023 season as a backup in San Francisco, Darnold finally played to his potential for most of the season before

posting back-to-back duds in his final two games: a Week 18 game against Detroit for the No. 1 seed in the NFC and a wild-card loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

His performance in those key games contributed to the decision by the Vikings to pass on the $40.2 million franchise tag number and turn the team over to J.J. McCarthy, who was drafted 10th overall last season.

McCarthy missed his rookie season with a knee injury but is expected to be the starter on coach Kevin O’Connell’s talented offense featuring star receiver Justin Jefferson.

Higgins got the tag for a second straight season with his worth $26.2 million. Higgins was tied for sixth in the league this past season with 10 touchdown catches.

He also had 73 receptions for 911 yards and averaged 12.5 yards per catch.

Smith, a sixth-round pick in 2021, received a tag worth $23.402 million. He has missed just one game in four seasons and has helped the Chiefs win Super Bowls following the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Kansas City lost the Super Bowl last month to Philadelphia thanks in part to struggles on the offense line. That contributed to the decision to give the tag to one of their more reliable linemen in hopes of giving better protection to Patrick Mahomes.

Teams can sign players on the franchise tags by July 15, otherwise they will have to play on the tag in 2025.

Jets release wide receiver Adams in roster overhaul

BY DENNIS WASZAK JR. AP pro football writer

Davante Adams’ reunion with Aaron Rodgers lasted just 11 games with the New York Jets.

The team released the veteran wide receiver Tuesday, ahead of the start of the NFL’s new league year next week. The move, which was expected, will save the Jets $29.9 million in salary cap space. It follows the team’s announcement on Feb. 13 that they’re also moving on this offseason from Rodgers, Adams’ longtime teammate and friend.

Releasing Adams will cost the Jets $8.3 million in deadcap money, according to overthecap.com.

Adams was acquired by the Jets from Las Vegas last October for a third-round pick in this year’s draft.

The 32-year-old threetime All-Pro was scheduled to make a non-guaranteed $35.64 million in each of the next two years. That hefty price tag made him a likely salary cap cut this offseason, especially after the Jets’ new regime — general manager Darren Mougey and coach Aaron Glenn — decided to go in another direction at quarterback. Adams caught 67 passes for 854 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games with the Jets. He also had 18 catches for 209 yards and a TD in three games with the Raiders last year, giving him five straight seasons with at least 1,000 yards receiving.

Adams and Rodgers were teammates for eight seasons in Green Bay, and the wide receiver said in January he

was uncertain what his next step would be. He acknowledged Rodgers’ future would “for sure” be a factor in his own decision, but added he “potentially” could be back with New York even if the quarterback isn’t.

Instead, the Jets moved on from both.

In a joint statement issued by the team last month, Mougey and Glenn said they met with Rodgers and informed him “that our intention was to move in a different direction at quarterback.”

The four-time MVP has one year left on his contract, worth a non-guaranteed $37.5 million. New York would absorb a $49 million dead money charge next season unless it designates Rodgers a postJune 1 cut and can spread out that charge over two years.

If the Jets do that, Rodgers would remain on their roster — while carrying a $23.5 salary cap charge — until the start of the NFL’s new league year next Wednesday.

Rodgers has not yet pub-

licly announced whether he plans to play a 21st NFL season or retire.

ESPN also reported the Jets have given wide receiver Allen Lazard, also a longtime teammate of Rodgers, permission to seek a trade.

Lazard is due a non-guaranteed $11 million in base pay next season.

Adams, who grew disgruntled in his third season in Las Vegas, was expected to boost a Jets offense that was inconsistent through the first part of the season even with young star Garrett Wilson leading the receiving group. And while Adams reestablished his connection with Rodgers — their 82 total TDs are third in NFL history by a QB-WR combination behind Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison (114) and Steve Young and Jerry Rice (92) – it couldn’t help the Jets from finishing 5-12 and missing the playoffs for the 14th straight year.

Adams’ presence also somewhat diminished the role of Wilson, who appeared frustrated with Rodgers at times but still finished with 101 catches for 1,104 yards and seven TDs. The Jets will head into free agency with Wilson as their clear No. 1 receiver, but they’re otherwise thin at the position — especially if Lazard is also let go.

Adams, who showed he’s still a solid playmaker in his 11th NFL season, will meanwhile be able to look for a new team. And perhaps he and Rodgers will be reunited yet again, elsewhere.

Adams has 957 receptions for 11,844 yards and 103 touchdowns.

Saints release RB Williams after two quiet seasons

BY MATTHEW PARAS Staff writer

The New Orleans Saints released running back Jamaal Williams on Tuesday, parting ways with the veteran who failed to pan out in his two seasons with the team.

Williams signed a threeyear, $12 million deal with the Saints in 2023 coming off the heels of a 1,000-yard season with the Detroit Lions. He was supposed to serve as a complement to star Alvin Kamara and

boost the team’s rushing attack. But in his two seasons with the Saints, Williams averaged only 3.05 yards per carry (470 yards on 154 attempts) with two rushing touchdowns. He often was used as a pass blocker and in short-yardage situations.

Williams’ release is set to save the Saints $1.6 million toward the salary cap. Before Tuesday’s transaction, the Saints were an estimated $47.1 million over the cap and must become cap compliant by the start of the new league year next week.

Williams’ contract also leaves $2.3 million in dead money, the figure left on the books because of an already paid signing bonus. He was set to count $3.9 million against the cap if the Saints had elected to keep him.

Instead, Williams, 29, can get an early start on free agency. The eight-year veteran has played with the Lions and Green Bay Packers previously.

Devers says he is not ready, pushes back spring debut

By The Associated Press FORT MYERS, Fla. — Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers, who was expected to make his spring training debut Tuesday against the Pirates, has pushed it back after telling Boston manager Alex Cora that he did not feel ready while taking live batting practice.

Cora did not say when the three-time All-Star will play but suggested it might not be until this weekend.

Devers hit .272 with 28 homers and 83 RBIs last season, despite complaining of soreness in both of his shoulders. He had spent the first couple of weeks of spring training trying

to strengthen them for the rigors of a 162-game regular season.

Exactly where Devers will play once he returns remains another question.

The Red Sox signed twotime All-Star Alex Bregman to a $120 million, three-year contract this winter, giving them a Gold Glove winner at third base, where Devers has posted poor fielding metrics over the years.

Devers has led or been tied for the American League lead in errors three times in the past seven seasons.

Devers has balked at moving to DH, though, saying last month: “Third base is my position.” So it’s possible that he could

remain at third base while Bregman moves to second, where he has played in just nine games over eight big league seasons.

“The decisions that are going to be made here about roster construction and about what we’re going to do in the future, we’re going to make sure we have the best team possible out there,” Cora said. ”(Devers) has a lot of pride. We know that. He feels like he’s a third baseman. He’s going to work out as a third baseman and then we’ll make decisions accordingly.

“I think here it’s not about Bregman or Devers or Cora. It’s about the Red Sox.”

THE VARSITY ZONE

Curtis pulls away in 2nd half vs. Rummel

BY SPENCER URQUHART

Staff writer

John Curtis was the District 9-5A champion, and the Patriots had a rematch against district rival Rummel in the Division I select regional round Tuesday at John Curtis.

Curtis was coming off a bye as the No. 7 seed and started off slow against the No. 10 seed Rummel, which trailed Curtis by only one point at halftime. The second half was a different story after Curtis’ 25-point third quarter led to a lopsided 59-37 win.

The game was a defensive

battle in the first half, with neither team scoring more than 25 points. Curtis (24-7) saw its defense hold strong throughout by forcing turnovers and preventing Rummel (19-10) from making any 3-point shots.

“I anticipated the first half, maybe some of the third (quarter) to be a tight game,” Curtis coach Biko Paris said. “We lay our hat on defense. I tell the boys, if you can get four, five, six stops in a row, eventually we’ll score. We’ve got enough firepower to where the shots will fall.”

Rummel had trouble slowing down a Curtis offense that went

on a 9-0 run early in the third quarter highlighted by a 3-pointer from sophomore Marlin Johnson.

Junior Autrail Manning was part of the scoring run and had a Curtis-high 14 points.

“The key was I had to get my teammates open,” Manning said.

“Set screens to get them open. My teammates are shooters, so I’m not going to be the only one shooting the ball.”

Curtis didn’t make a 3-pointer in the first half, but the Patriots knocked down three treys in the third quarter and added one more in the fourth.

Our last game was line, first when senior Ben Cimini made two shots with 24 seconds Rummel. Then the next two beating Holy Cross weeks left and then when Nitcher sank we had hard practices.”

BY CHRISTOPHER DABE Staff writer

Brewer Nitcher has been a top scoring player for Jesuit over the past two seasons.

That continued Tuesday in the Blue Jays’ playoff opener, as the 6-foot-6 senior showed his range of scoring ability when he posted a season-high 33 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as No. 8 Jesuit outlasted No. 9 Holy Cross 63-59 in an LHSAA Division I select regional playoff game.

The win followed a stretch of five losses over the final seven regular-season games, a downturn that coincided with the season-ending ankle injury to 6-7 senior Ethan Lapeze that changed the makeup of the team.

“Our team totally changed when Ethan Lapeze got hurt,” Jesuit coach Chris Jennings said.

“We had no time to adjust to the change.

“We were actually not very good for a while.”

But given a chance to practice for two weeks without playing a game, Jesuit (21-7) made some adjustments that showed in the playoff win against Holy Cross (256) — especially compared to when the teams last met Feb. 4 and Jesuit lost by 16 points.

“We didn’t have time to practice to make the adjustments (af-

two shots with 8 seconds remaining.

A final Holy Cross 3-pointer hit off the rim and time expired.

For Jesuit, Cimini scored all his 14 points in the second half.

Sophomore Jack Maguire had 11 points and five rebounds. He made one 3-pointer. Junior Tanner Hughes made a 3 in the third quarter.

Nitcher said the team adjusted because “we knew we were down size, and we had to play defense.

We had to play faster. And at practice over the last couple weeks, (Jennings) really pushed us. And we responded.”

The lead changed six times before Jesuit went ahead for good in the second quarter.

“We didn’t create turnovers, we didn’t hit open shots, we didn’t jump to the ball defensively,” Holy Cross coach Mister Kirkwood said.

“Some of the things that helped us win (the first time), we didn’t do.”

For Holy Cross, seniors Cashmere Pichon and Javian Neco each scored 11 points. Taylor made four 3-pointers.

“Those guys played hard to cut it from double digits to get it down to two points,” Kirkwood said.

“I’m proud of my guys.”

ter Lapeze got hurt),” Jennings said.

“Our last game was Rummel.

Then the next two weeks we had hard practices.”

The result “showed tonight,” said Jennings, whose team will face No. 1 Liberty in a quarterfinal that likely will be played Friday.

“We made some 3s tonight. Last time (against Holy Cross), we were 1 of 17 shooting 3s.”

This time, Jesuit made five 3-pointers — all in the first three quarters.

The teams were tied at 8-all after the first quarter, and Nitcher caught fire in the second with 14 points in the second. He made three 3-pointers in the period and then scored the first two baskets after halftime.

He showed his ability to score in the post and in the midrange, at one point making a turnaround jumper in the third quarter.

Jesuit led by double figures for most of the third quarter and into the fourth, before Holy Cross sophomore Abe Taylor had a scoring run of his own.

the bench and made an impact for Curtis with a pair of 3-pointers and a pair of steals.

“Ever since ... Martin has come back at the beginning of district (play), he’s helped us,” Paris said.

“He impacts the game in other ways (besides scoring). He makes a ton of winning plays.”

Sophomore Zaveon Shepherd was second in scoring for Curtis with 13 points and added two steals. Johnson had eight points followed by Martin with six.

Rummel senior Grant Latino was 8 of 8 from the field, leading the Raiders with 17 points.

BY TREASURE WASHINGTON Contributing writer

One of the best seasons in program history came to an end for the De La Salle girls basketball team.

The fifth-seeded Cavaliers fell in the semifinals of their first LHSAA tournament to top-seeded Lafayette Christian Academy 6237 Saturday afternoon at Southeastern Louisiana’s University Center in Hammond.

The four-time reigning state champion Knights will play for a Division III select title against Sacred Heart-N.O. as they look to their eight title over nine seasons.

De La Salle, meanwhile, continued to shine on the court this winter despite its loss. The Cavaliers will graduate two seniors from their roster, but they will look to use their youth as a benefit for next season.

“One thing that’s going to help is, the more they play together, the better we’re going to become,” De La Salle coach Michael Mosley said. “This year has been a tale of tapes. When we first started the year, we were almost teaching every game on what shot not to take.

You had kids coming (and) wanting to pull 3s from everywhere in America.”

The Cavaliers (16-10) learned their roles throughout the year.

“One thing that’s going to help is, the more they play together, the better we’re going to become. This year has been a tale of tapes. When we first started the year, we were almost teaching every game on what shot not to take. You had kids coming (and) wanting to pull 3s from everywhere in America.”

MICHAEL MOSLEy, De La Salle coach

on the team is an area De La Salle wants to define moving forward.

The Cavaliers had quite a run to the state tournament, defeating No. 13 GEO Next Generation and No. 4 Dunham in the regionals and quarterfinals, respectively. The Cavaliers played strong defense in the second half. Eighth grader Ya’Myri Brown and junior Jaeden Brown both scored a game-high 15 points in the quarterfinals.

But LCA (28-5) continued to show why it’s one of the state’s best teams.

The Knights capitalized on their depth as junior Kaliyah Samuels finished with a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds. Freshmen Paityn Dean and Kenadie Jackson also combined for 23 points.

Mosley had a message for his team coming back from halftime as it trailed 32-8. Sometimes you get punched in the mouth. But you’ve got to punch back.

De La Salle went outscored LCA 17-15 in the third quarter, including a pair of 3-pointers. Jaeden Brown also had a double-double of 10 points, 10 rebounds and hit clutch shots at the free-throw line.

“It’s not the end, but you can just keep on punching,” Mosley said. “Whatever happens is going to happen, but it’s not going to be because we didn’t work. We’re not going to ever back down, I promise.”

De La Salle remains grateful for the support of its community throughout this tournament run.

Jaeden admitted it was hard practicing during Mardi Gras after moving from Texas.

But the hard work has definitely paid off. There was a message Jaeden Brown had for her team in the locker room. This was their moment.

This moment was 32 years in the making.

“We haven’t gotten this far before,” Jaeden Brown said. “Let’s be historical, let’s put it all on the floor. Whatever comes after that, it is what it is, but we can say that we did our best.”

“We can show up or not show up,” Ya’Myri Brown added. “I think after the third quarter we basically showed up. Even though we didn’t come out with the win, we still showed up and cheered each other on.”

Sacred Heart holds on to defeat Rosepine

De La Salle’s playoff run ends with loss to Lafayette Christian

five seniors but saw freshman Ja’Marcus Jones score 10 points off the bench.

“Our guys battled till the end,” Rummel coach Scott Thompson said.

“I’m proud of them. We won a lot of basketball games with (the seniors) over the past three years.

They set a standard that hopefully our other guys can reach for.”

Up next for Curtis is a quarterfinals test against No. 2 CatholicBR (30-4) on the road with a state semifinal trip on the line.

Sacred Heart wasn’t ready to go home from its first state tournament just yet.

After nearly blowing a 10-point lead with seven minutes to play in a Division III select girls state basketball semifinal, the No. 2 Cardinals had to find a way to hold on for a few more minutes, leading No. 3 Rosepine 41-40 with under two minutes left.

That’s when junior Leah Varisco hit a layup with about 90 seconds to play to give Sacred Heart just enough room to hold their lead for a 43-40 victory.

Sacred Heart moves to the Division III finals on Friday against No. 1 Lafayette Christian, a 62-37 winner over No. 5 De La Salle.

“They were focused on the task at hand,” Sacred Heart coach Courtney Ward said. “They knew they had to dig deep because they knew they were playing a good team. We were up against a really tough opponent, but we were able to dig deep and make enough plays to win at the end.”

Varisco, the team’s scoring leader all season, once again paced the Cardinals with 17 points, nine rebounds and four steals. She went 8 of 19 from the field with one basket from 3-point range.

As a team, Sacred Heart shot 20 of 51 from the field.

“She was great,” Ward said.

“She’s great on the defensive end.

She was just a great player that was able to make big-time plays.

That’s the type of player that she is. We know we can put the ball in her hands, and she can make something happen. She was able to do that for us tonight.”

But where Sacred Heart truly took over the game was on defense.

The Cardinals out rebounded Rosepine 45-25 with four players recording eight or more rebounds.

Varisco was tied with Bria Egana with a team-best nine rebounds while Elizabeth Fitzpatrick and Taylor Robert produced eight each.

Sacred Heart also created 15 turnovers. And more importantly, they generated 16 points off those turnovers, a much needed boost in what eventually became a close matchup. “(Rosepine) is a good team and so we weren’t going to be able to hold them back the entire time,” Ward said. “They started hitting a few shots and then started creating some turnovers, which they hadn’t done before. That’s why it got close, but we were able to make enough plays at the end to finish it off.”

“We have two teams that we didn’t have to deal with last year and that is Texas and Oklahoma, and that will have an impact on the outcome,” Staley said. “They had an impact in the regular season and now (will have an impact on) the tournament.”

Texas (29-2) enters the tournament on a 13-game winning streak and ranked first in the country for the first time in 21 years, a testament to the job coach Vic Schaefer has done in Austin.

It helps that the Longhorns have one of the best players in the country in Madison Booker, who is averaging 16 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. With Booker leading the way, Schaefer believes the Longhorns are capable of winning out.

“We have a three-game tournament and a six-game tournament in front of us, and the gauntlet that this group’s been through, there’s not going to be anything that they haven’t seen,” Schaefer said.

Although the Longhorns were disappointed they didn’t win the coin flip, they can take heart knowing that being the No. 2 seed might give them an easier path to Sunday’s championship game.

That’s because No. 3 seed LSU (27-4), a potential opponent in the semifinals, will be without star Flau’jae Johnson, who’ll miss the conference tournament with a shin injury. Tigers coach Kim Mulkey said she wants Johnson to get rested for the NCAA Tournament.

Kentucky finished with 12 3-pointers on 38% shooting.

LSU shot 38% from the field and was 0 of 8 from the 3-point line at halftime.

The leading scorer to that point was Miller with eight points on 4-of-8 shooting.

Second was Williams who had six points on 3-of-4 shooting.

The rest of the team was 4 of 17 from the field.

“Their physicality on the defensive side of the ball is the difference in the game,” McMahon said.

“They disrupted everything we tried to do offensively. The open shots we did get in the first half, we weren’t able to knock those in.”

To open the second half, McMahon didn’t open with starters Collins and Curtis Givens. He instead inserted Sears and Williams.

The change didn’t turn the tide. The Tigers never made Kentucky uncomfortable as the Wildcats ended the game shooting 51% from the field.

LSU’s next game is the regular-season finale against No. 22 Texas A&M at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

Kentucky’s leading scorer Otega Oweh shined on both ends as he got a steal in the passing lane, which allowed him to get a breakaway dunk. After LSU had a shot blocked on the ensuing possession, he came back down and converted an and-one shot in the post over Sears, giving Kentucky a 28-10 advantage with 7:59 left in the first half. Oweh had 11 points up to this point and finished with 24.

LSU was unable to disrupt the fluidity of Kentucky, which entered halftime ahead 50-23.

Kentucky closed the half shooting 59% from the field and was 7 of 14 from the 3-point line, with five different players making a 3.

This was in stark contrast to the grind that was the LSU offense. They couldn’t create as many easy looks and also came up blank too often on open layups and outside shots.

“Their bench gave them some big lifts from behind the 3-point line,” McMahon said.

“In their wins in league play, they make over 11 3s, and their losses only eight. Email Toyloy Brown And we were not able to III at toyloy.brown@ defend the 3-point line well theadvocate.com

Prime spot

With steak, seafood and a huge bar, new restaurant opens near the Superdome

BY IAN McNULTY Staff writer

The contours of the restaurant are the same as I remember, which is to say very large and ready to host a crowd. That is exactly what Rizzuto’s Prime got for its debut during Super Bowl week.

Rizzuto’s Prime opened inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel just a few days before the big game, right by the doorstep to the Caesars Superdome, in a cordon of security and event production.

Now that Super Bowl LIX is in the history books, the new restaurant is properly joining the ranks of downtown dining, serving lunch and dinner daily.

It brings back a restaurant space many will remember as Borgne, the upscale seafood restaurant that occupied the spot for eight years. It never reopened after the pandemic and has been empty for nearly 5 years.

The name chochoyotes was a new one for me, but “Higgins crab” I recognized right away, and that was all I needed to try this dish at the Bywater Mexican restaurant Acamaya.

Chochoyotes, I’d learn, are masa dumplings, a bit like gnocchi.

Higgins Seafood is an enduringly old-fashioned seafood purveyor in Lafitte, about 20 miles from the city. It’s held in cultishly high regard by a circuit of chefs in New Orleans for its impeccable quality, and maybe for its Louisiana quirkiness too (many reflexively bring a few Miller Lites on the foraging run to share with proprietor Denny Higgins over the transaction).

Together, the sweet local crabmeat and these dense-but-tender masa bulbs compose a dish that sings of Louisiana seafood but in a voice different from the greatest hits we already know. That is what I’m after right now.

The advent of Lent in Louisiana means it’s seafood season, which instantly conjures up the Friday fish fry. But this time of year I also hear a lot of requests specifically for nonfried seafood, which I think comes from a hunger for new fla-

The spinalis steak, or ribeye cap, is a signature cut of beef at Rizzuto’s Prime inside the Hyatt Regency Hotel downtown New Orleans.

Seafood is front and center, literally, with an iced display of crustaceans and fish now surrounding the oyster bar by the entrance. But this is a very different restaurant from its predecessor.

The brothers Jack Rizzuto and Phil Rizzuto wove together familiar Italian touchstones of their Rizzuto’s Ristorante & Chophouse in Lakeview with more elements of a high-end steak and seafood house. Their Lakeview restaurant has an upscale-homey feel (it’s in the longtime home of Tony Angello’s Ristorante, after all, which was a home away from home for many regulars of its day). This new Rizzuto’s Prime cuts a much more sleek and modern style.

It’s an upscale restaurant with seating for 200, and it’s proportioned for bigger parties, an obvious plus for business travelers staying in the hotel and people out on the town before events at the nearby venues.

The restaurant also has a private dining room with seating for about 20 people.

Long bar, raw bar As with Borgne, the bar is a centerpiece. It stretches down the room the length of an airstrip, a good perch for solo diners and well places as a pregaming spot for events at the nearby venues. As Rizzuto’s Prime gets rolling it is gradually expanding a happy hour (3-5 p.m. daily) to include a bar menu.

Oyster bar meets lounge Maria’s Oyster and Wine Bar, 752 Tchoupitoulas St., (504) 3504075, just opened in January in the former home of NOSH (and once Tommy’s Wine Bar). It has the feel of a giant oyster bar with a lounge and larger menu attached. Even the specialty martini (the Alberteaux) has a briny dose of caviar infused in the gin.

The tuna au poivre, is not light at all, but the concept is compelling, pairing the meaty cut with robust butter and pepper sauce.

Imperial reception of Rex gilds Mardi Gras 2025 celebrations Following 153 years of tradition, Rex descended from his summer palace on Mount Olympus high above the Vale of Tempe for his annual ball and imperial reception Tuesday at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel.

A spring-like atmosphere prevailed on the white canvas-covered floor. Framing the dance floor were arrangements of white cherry blossoms, yellow forsythia, Casablanca lilies and hydrangeas. On either side of the long garden throne-bench were white daisies banked by fern. Suspended above the throne was a golden crown. Gold and white drapes formed the backdrop for the throne flanked by shields and palms.

The reception began with the Marine Forces Reserve Band under the direction of Chief Warrant Officer Aaron Carpenter, Bandmaster Master Sgt. Justin Hauser and Drum Major Staff Sgt. Christopher Miller. The band played a selection of music, including the national anthem, and some of Rex’s favorite Carnival music.

The captain sounded a whistle, and the Jimmy Maxwell Orchestra began a drum roll. Six lieutenants in green, gold and purple entered and split in groups of three to each side of the

To the music of the Rex anthem, “If Ever I Cease To Love,” Rex 2025, Mr. Edward Howell Crosby, escorted by the captain, and the Queen of Carnival, Miss Tatum Lady Reiss, escorted by the president, entered and proceeded with the grand march. The queen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Joseph Reiss III. They were followed by pages Masters James Bush LeBourgeois, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Livaudais LeBourgeois; and William Conery Van Horn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Wood Van Horn.

After the monarchs were enthroned, maids of honor entered, escorted by the dukes of the realm, followed by former kings and

officials.

Maids were Misses Carolyn Taylor Bienvenu, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Albert Bienvenu IV; Flora Elizabeth French, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fenner French; Charlotte Anne Galloway, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rudolph Galloway; Madison Elizabeth Hales, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Benjamin Hales; May Heidingsfelder Manning, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cooper Archibald Manning; Victoria Livaudais Nieset, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Robert Nieset Jr.; Elizabeth Talbot Rogers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Ted Rogers; and Marianne Pratt Villere, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. St. Denis Julien Villere III. Dukes were Messrs.

Michael Quirk Walshe III, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walshe Jr.; Adam Duke Wirth, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam R. Wirth; Thomas Hughes Saer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hayes Saer; Charles Claiborne LeBourgeois III, son of Mr. and Mrs. LeBourgeois Jr.; John Middleton Polk Huger, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Middleton Huger; Timothy Semmes Favrot Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Favrot; Clifford Pipes FitzHugh, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clark Pipes Fitz-Hugh; and Frank Hampton Gomila, son of Mr. and Mrs. Moylan Feild Gomila.

In keeping with its tradition of presenting medals to visiting dignitaries, the organization presented a decoration to Ambassador of France to the U.S. Laurent Bili and also to Mrs.

Gayle Marie Benson as a leading citizen and patron of New Orleans.

Rex debutantes were also presented, included Misses Ava Diana Atwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Madoc Walmsley; Adelaide Bouligny Gaines, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Michael Gianes; Colleen Rose Kehoe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerard Roth Kehoe II; Serena Elizabeth Klebba, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Marshall Klebba; Charlotte Heyward Parrino, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Patrick Eugene Parrino; Lauren Michelle Perlis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Wicker Perlis; Melanie Kathleen Talbot, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brent Arnold Talbot; and Kaylin Mickella Thomson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Michael Thomson.

One of the ball’s traditions is to honor its 50-year anniversary queen. Mrs. Margaret Pratt Logan Fried, 1975 Queen of Carnival, was presented with flowers in tribute.

Members and their ladies paid tribute in the Grand March, and were joined by a delegation of the Texas Cavaliers from San Antonio who recreated their 1962 visit.

The members then danced the first dance. Succeeding dances commenced for all.

At 9:40 p.m., the captain and lieutenants of the

Mistick Krewe of Comus arrived, greeted by the Rex captain, president and pages. A personalized scroll invited Rex, the queen and court to join the Comus ball.

After conferring with the queen, Rex accepted the invitation.

Shortly thereafter, to the music of “If Ever I Cease to Love,” Rex and his court departed for the Comus festivities.

Chairman of the ball was Mr. St. Denis J. Villere III, and Mr. A. Peyton Bush IV served as assistant chairman. Committeemen were Messrs. Christian T. Brown, Christian T. Brown II, R. Duncan Brown, Christian T. Cannon, John D. Charbonnet, J. Storey Charbonnet, Hardy B. Fowler, Jr., William D. French, Moylan F. Gomila Jr., William F. Grace, Jr., William F. Grace III, David W. Kearney, Gordon H. Kolb Jr., Dr. Eric L. Laborde, N. Price Lanier, Michael L. LeBourgeois, Ryan T. McKinnon, Michael D. Milling, John D. Mills, William M. Prieur, John E. Randle, James W.

James J. Reiss III was an ex-officio committeeman.

Mistick Krewe of Comus ball glistens as Mardi Gras closes The grand finale of Mardi Gras 2025 came Shrove Tuesday evening with the traditional Meeting of the Courts of the Mistick Krewe of Comus and Rex during the Comus bal masque at the New Orleans Marriott.

Setting the dramatic scene for the customary climax to the revelry of the Carnival season in New Orleans was a myriad of twinkling lights reflecting the glitter of thousands of rhinestones, paillettes and other brilliants.

Miss Mary Grace Jenkins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Scott Jenkins, reigned as queen of the Comus festivities.

Hodges Guillot; and James Spencer Montgomery Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery.

When Rex 2025, Mr. Edward Howell Crosby, and his queen, Miss Tatum Lady Reiss, arrived at the Comus ball, the orchestra played Rex’s theme song, “If Ever I Cease to Love.”

At that point, with Comus serving as escort to Miss Reiss, and Rex escorting Miss Jenkins, the four monarchs and their entourage circled the ballroom floor in the double grand march.

Their majesties then took their places on the double throne bench, which was flanked by golden balustrades and golden urns filled with flowers.

Good to remember that your dreams don’t have deadlines Dear Annie: From the time I was in second grade, I knew I wanted to be a writer.

But everyone around me insisted it was a terrible idea.

So, I chose the “safe” path and became a teacher, Annie spending two years Lane in a high school DEAR ANNIE English classroom before transitioning to a role as a school librarian.

I also married a man I believed

was the love of my life — someone who shared my writing ambitions.

But shortly after we wed, he made it clear: There would be only one writer in our family, and it wouldn’t be me.

For years, I put my dream on hold. But in 1981, at age 37, I decided it was now or never. I carved out time — early mornings before the kids woke up, weekends and stolen moments in between — to write my first book. It never sold. But my second book did, and so did the one after that.

In 1985, my first novel was published. That same year, just one week before my grand opening book signing, I met a man who would become my second husband.

Thirty-nine years later, I’ve written nearly 70 books, and I’m still happily married to the man I met that day.

powerful. You didn’t let fear, practicality or even the wrong partner stop you, and now you’re proof that it’s never too late to chase a dream.

To those wondering if they should go for it, the answer is simple: Yes. Life is too short for “what ifs.” Dreams don’t have expiration dates, and passion doesn’t fade just because the world tells you to be “realistic.”

If you truly want something, make space for it — even if it means getting up early or staying up late.

Balancing ambition with re-

sponsibilities isn’t always easy, but it starts with commitment.

Treat your dream like it matters, because it does.

Surround yourself with people who lift you up, not those who hold you back. And if you fail?

Get up, try again and keep going.

Success isn’t always immediate, but persistence makes all the difference.

The only real regret comes from never trying.

TODAY IN HISTORY

By The Associated Press Today is Wednesday, March 5, the 64th day of 2025. There are 301 days left in the year.

Today in history On March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened fire, killing five people.

On this date: In 1933, in German parliamentary elections six days after the Reichstag fire, the Nazi Party won 44% of the vote; the Nazis joined with

a conservative nationalist party to gain a slender parliamentary majority.

In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered a speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, in which he said: “From Stettin in the Baltic, to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.”

In 1953, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin died from a stroke at age 74 after nearly three decades in power.

In 1963, country music performers Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Hawkshaw Hawkins died in the

crash of their plane, a Piper Comanche, near Camden, Tennessee, along with pilot Randy Hughes (Cline’s manager).

In 2004, Martha Stewart was convicted in New York of conspiracy, obstructing justice and lying to the government about why she’d sold her Imclone stock just before the stock’s price plummeted; her ex-stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic, also was found guilty in the stock scandal. (Each later received a five-month prison sentence.)

This is supposed to be a place of work. Wish her a good morning and get on with the meeting.

tures like the house meatball, crabmeat stuffed mushrooms, and veal Rizzuto (with crabmeat and lemon butter) anchor the menu next to Italian seafood dishes that are less common here. That includes the frutti de mare, cioppino seafood stew and whole stuffed lobster.

The new restaurant reminds me of the original Borgne, before it had a midlife makeover. Columns of oyster shells still brace the room but some of the rustic touches have been taken out, leaving a sleek interior with new glass light fixtures modeled after Mardi Gras beads.

On the main menu you can go for red sauce or red meat, raw bar or whole grilled fish.

The chilled seafood display isn’t the only preview.

As part of service, waiters bring around a butcher block with raw examples of the signature cuts and the fish of the day, from the boardroom-sized tomahawk ribeye to the more niche spinalis, a specialty cut well known from the original Rizzuto’s. This is also called the ribeye cap, and is prized for its beefy flavor and texture, at the opposite end of Email Ian McNulty at the spectrum from a filet. imcnulty@theadvocate.

Nearby, the new Nikkei, 600 N. Broad St., (504) 2245657, is a tavern inside the Broadside event venue. It’s the continuation of Carmo, the downtown restaurant that was known for its way with seafood (which sadly closed last year).

The same approach and ethos continue here with many raw seafood dishes inspired by Japan and also the fusion cuisine of Peru.

Nikkei is based in the Broadside’s dedicated bar, which is open to the public without admission to the concerts or events happening elsewhere at the venue. At the same time, dinner with a show here is on the table too.

Upscale innovators There are upscale restaurants making the absolute most of the local catch that simply feel like modern New Orleans seafood restaurants.

GW Fins, 808 Bienville St., (504) 581-3467, has been the pacesetter for this for two decades now, and it continues to push new boundaries.

Now, part of that means showing chef de cuisine Nicole Cabrera Mills’ family roots in the Philippines through local seafood.

techniques, traditions and interpretations.

Aguasanta, 8312 Oak St., (504) 381-5625, is the second restaurant from the guys behind La Tia Cantina in Metairie. It has a more global approach but is unmistakably anchored by Mexican flavors, especially in its sauces and moles. The raw bar serves up the don’t-miss dishes good. Start with the octopus carpaccio, reminiscent of a dish that Dominica once served years ago.

The chochoyotes at Acamaya, 3070 Dauphine St., (504) 299-3477, is representative of Ana Castro’s technique, and this shines especially bright with seafood.

I want to come here with a four top and together work through the hamachi tostada, the perfectly textured octopus pulsing with salsa negra; and the black rice with squid ink and mussels.

And that’s before we’d get into entrees.

Saffron, 4128 Magazine St., (504) 323-2626, is a world class Indian restaurant strongly influenced by the family owners’ journey through New Orleans, so that means a lot of seafood.

Two of the stars are the oyster roast with curry leaf and caramelized onion in the buttery sauce and the Nariyal fish, a one-plate presentation of this restaurant’s inspiration, unmistakably Indian with a New Orleans resonance.

Variety, not crab boil alone, is this spice of life for seafood lovers, and sometimes I crave fish from other waters. This is the niche for Pigeon & Whale, 4525 Freret St., (504) 249-5487, a stylish modern restaurant with a nautical theme throughout.

Bridge

BY PHILLIP ALDER Mark Twain said, “There are several good protections against temptation, but the surest is cowardice.”

At the bridge table, though, it is not cowardice to avoid temptation if that would risk your going down in a contract that must succeed with an alternative line of play.

This deal features one of the strongest lures in bridge. How should South play in four spades after West leads the diamond jack?

Two no-trump is the right opening bid with that South hand. If North had raised to three no-trump, there would have been nine easy tricks. But it was normal to use Stayman.

South starts with four potential losers: three hearts and one club. He has nine top tricks: five spades, three diamonds and one club. It is tempting to draw trumps and to try the club finesse. If it wins, declarer is trying for an overtrick, but what happens when it loses? Unless West unwisely shifts to hearts, South should lose three hearts and go down one.

The club finesse should be avoided.

Instead, at trick two, declarer should play a spade to dummy’s queen. When the suit does not break 4-0, South draws trumps, cashes his two remaining diamond winners and the club ace, then leads the club

queen. West wins but is endplayed. If he shifts to a heart, declarer plays second hand low and loses only two tricks in the suit.

Alternatively, if West returns a diamond or a club, South ruffs in the dummy (gaining a sixth spade trick) and sluffs a heart from his hand. © 2025 by nEa, inc., dist. By andrews mcmeel syndication

The proposed project location is lo‐ cated on Abbey Road at Justin Lane and Old Compton Road in Harvey, Jefferson Parish. The ex‐ tent of the FFRMS flood‐ plain was determined using 0.2 percent flood approach. The proposed project will entail the construction of a com‐ munity park including a walking trail.

There are three primary purposes for this notice.

First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplain and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Com‐ menters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate project impacts on the [floodplain/wetland].

Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important pub‐ lic educational tool. The dissemination of infor‐ mation and request for public comment about floodplain can facilitate and enhance Federal ef‐ forts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will partici‐ pate in actions taking place in floodplain, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

However, failure to attend the pre-bid conference shall not relieve the bidder of responsibility for information discussed at the conference.

Furthermore, failure to attend the pre-bid conference and inspection does not relieve the successful bidder from the necessity of furnishing materials or performing any work that may be required to complete the work in accordance with the specification with no additional cost to the owner.

Renny Simno Director Purchasing Department

The persons or firms under consideration shall have one (1) employee who is a licensed, registered professional engineer, architect, or landscape architect in the State of Louisiana in the applicable discipline involved.

The Jefferson Parish Council reserves the right to reject all bids and to reject bids for just cause, pursuant to the law. Jefferson Parish and its partners as the recipients of federal funds are fully committed to awarding a contract(s) to firm(s) that will provide high quality services and that are dedicated to diversity and to containing costs. Thus, Jefferson Parish strongly encourages the involvement of minority and/or woman-owned business enterprises (DBE’s, including MBE’s, WBE’s and SBE’s) to stimulate participation in procurement and assistance programs.

The failure by the Municipality to advise Atmos in writing through proper Annexation Notice of any geographic areas which are annexed by the Municipality shall relieve Atmos from any obligation to remit any franchise fees to Municipality based upon gross revenues derived by Atmos from the sale and distribution of natural gas to customers within the annexed area until Municipality delivers an Annexation Notice to Atmos in accordance with the terms hereof.

ARTICLE V GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 5.1. Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything expressly or impliedly to the contrary contained herein, in the event Atmos is prevented, wholly or partially, from complying with any obligation or undertaking contained herein by reason of any event of force majeure, then, while so prevented, compliance with such obligations or undertakings shall be suspended. The term “force majeure,” as used herein, shall mean any cause not reasonably within Atmos’ control and includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, strikes, lock-outs, wars, terrorism, riots, orders or decrees of any lawfully constituted federal, state, or local body, contagions or contaminations hazardous to human life or health, fires, storms, floods, wash-outs, explosions, breakages or accidents to machinery or lines of pipe, inability to obtain or the delay in obtaining rights-of-way, materials, supplies, or labor permits, temporary failures of gas supply, or necessary repair, maintenance, or replacement of facilities used in the performance of the obligations contained in this Ordinance.

Section 5.2. Amendments. This Ordinance and the franchise and rights granted herein may be amended only by written agreement of the Municipality and Atmos to such amendment.

Section 5.3. Repeal of Conflicting Ordinances. All other ordinances of the Municipality or portions thereof that are in conflict or inconsistent with any of the terms or provisions of this Ordinance are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.
