Attorneys for the state and for death row inmate Jessie Hoffman Jr. agreed Thursday to unseal a redacted version of Louisiana’s new protocol for using nitrogen gas in executions, shedding public light on how the state plans to put him to death on March 18.

The protocol states that Louisiana prison officials will strap the death row inmate to a gurney ahead of his execution and bring them to the execution chamber. Prison staff will perform a final inspection of the state’s nitrogen hypoxia system.

Then they’ll place a mask and a pulse oximeter onto the inmate, and allow a spiritual adviser to meet with him and have him make a final statement.

“The mask is a continuous-flow, full face, supplied air respirator with head straps,” the protocol states.

Prison officials will turn on the nitrogen hypoxia system and either allow the gas to flow for 15 minutes or for 5 minutes after the inmate’s heart rate reaches a flatline on an EKG, whichever is longer.

Plant visit highlights LNG expansion Trump officials say $18B project will make facility largest in North America

BY JOSIE ABUGOV

Staff writer

Top Trump administration officials visited one of Louisiana’s largest liquefied natural gas terminals Thursday as the company announced an $18 billion expansion it says will make the facility in Plaquemines Parish the largest in North America.

WEATHER HIGH 75 LOW 50 PAGE 8B

Secretary Doug Burgum, along with Gov. Jeff Landry and other state officials, was intended to show support for U.S. energy production despite concerns over climate change. The Biden administration had paused export permits for LNG plants in part to study the facilities’ impact on global warming, while Trump has vowed to move ahead quickly.

“Louisiana is going to become a larger exporter of liquefied natural gas than any nation on earth,” Wright said during the visit to the Venture Global facility.

Standing before a crowd of thousands of workers in hard hats, company CEO Michael Sabel announced the expansion, saying “that’s what we’re here to do —

dominate global energy markets in LNG.” While LNG has positioned the United States as a major exporter of natural gas and generated thousands of construction jobs along Louisiana’s coast, there have long been concerns over emissions linked to the plants.

Near the end of Biden’s term, the Department of Energy released a critical study of the LNG landscape, stating that the fossil fuel transport method poses serious economic and environmental problems, such as increased costs for consumers, heightened greenhouse gas emissions and a strain on already-burdened areas.

FROM WIRE REPORTS

New Mexico adult dies with measles

An adult who was infected with measles has died in New Mexico, state health officials announced Thursday, though the virus has not been confirmed as the cause.

The person who died was unvaccinated and did not seek medical care, a state health department spokesperson said in a statement. The person’s exact age and other details were not immediately released.

The person was from Lea County, just across the state line from the West Texas region where 159 measles cases have been identified and a schoolage child died last week. New Mexico health officials have not linked the outbreak there to the Texas cases.

The person is the 10th in Lea County to have a confirmed measles infection. Seven were unvaccinated. The vaccination status of the other three is unknown. Six of the cases are in adults and the rest are in children younger than 17.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that they were sending a team to Texas to help local public health officials respond to the outbreak, which began in late January.

Starship test flight ends with another explosion

Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down and broke apart.

This time, wreckage from the latest explosion was seen streaming from the skies over Florida. It was not immediately known whether the spacecraft’s self-destruct system had kicked in to blow it up.

The 403-foot rocket blasted off from Texas. SpaceX caught the first-stage booster back at the pad with giant mechanical arms, but engines on the spacecraft on top started shutting down as it streaked eastward for what was supposed to be a controlled entry over the Indian Ocean, half a world away. Contact was lost as the spacecraft went into an outof-control spin.

Starship reached nearly 90 miles in altitude before trouble struck and before four mock satellites could be deployed. It was not immediately clear where it came down, but images of flaming debris were captured from Florida, including near Cape Canaveral, and posted online.

The space-skimming flight was supposed to last an hour.

“Unfortunately this happened last time too, so we have some practice at this now,” SpaceX flight commentator Dan Huot said from the launch site.

Firm: Lunar lander may have fallen over

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A privately owned lunar lander touched down on the moon with a drill, drone and rovers for NASA and other customers Thursday, but quickly ran into trouble and may have fallen over.

Intuitive Machines said it was uncertain whether its Athena lander was upright near the moon’s south pole — standing 15 feet tall — or lying sideways like its first spacecraft from a year ago. Controllers rushed to turn off some of the lander’s equipment to conserve power while trying to determine what went wrong.

It was the second moon landing this week by a Texas company under NASA’s commercial lunar delivery program. Sunday’s touchdown was a complete success.

The company’s newest Athena lander dropped out of lunar orbit as planned. The hourlong descent appeared to go well until the final approach when the laser navigation system began acting up. It took a while for Mission Control to confirm touchdown.

“We’re on the surface,” reported mission director and cofounder Tim Crain. A few minutes later, he repeated, “It looks like we’re down ... We are working to evaluate exactly what our orientation is on the surface.”

Trump envoy says Ukraine ‘brought it on themselves’ Official says U.S. gave ‘fair warning’ before aid, intel sharing paused

BY AAMER MADHANI

Weakened Francis records message amid recovery

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Ukraine was given “fair warning” by the White House before President Donald Trump this week ordered a pause on U.S. military assistance and intelligence sharing with Kyiv, a senior administration official said Thursday.

The Republican administration announced the pauses this week after Trump and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Oval Office meeting devolved into a shouting match, with the U.S. president and Vice President JD Vance excoriating the Ukrainian leader for being insufficiently grateful for the tens of billions of dollars in U.S. assistance sent to Ukraine since Russia invaded three years ago.

Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, said the pause is already having an impact on Kyiv, adding that the Ukrainians “brought it on themselves.”

“The best way I can describe it is sort of like hitting a mule with a two-by-four across the nose,” Kellogg said at an event Thursday at the Council on Foreign Relations.

“You got their attention.”

Kellogg said it was made clear to the Ukrainians before last week’s Oval Office meeting that the talks would focus on signing a critical minerals deal. The agreement, which the two sides still have not signed, would give the U.S. access to Ukraine’s rare earth deposits and could be of value to U.S. aerospace, electric vehicle and medical manufacturing.

Trump administration officials have said the economic pact would bind the U.S. and Ukraine closer together and would give Russian President Vladimir Putin pause before considering malign action against Ukraine in the future. Zelenskyy had been pressing the White House for explicit security guarantees, to no avail.

Kellogg said last week’s talks went sideways because Zelenskyy pressed Trump — who is trying to play the role of intermediary to broker peace between Ukraine and Russia — to side with Kyiv.

U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg, right, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy speak Feb. 20 during their meeting in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Zelenskyy later called the heated words “regrettable” and said he’s ready to sign an agreement.

Trump in an exchange with reporters on Thursday said he believed his administration had made “a lot of progress” in recent days with both Ukraine and Russia, but did not specify how.

“I think what’s going to happen is Ukraine wants to make a deal, because I don’t think they have a choice,” Trump said. “I also think that Russia wants to make a deal because in a certain different way — a different way that only I know, only I know — they have no choice either.”

In his nightly address Zelenskyy confirmed that talks between Ukraine and the U.S. are scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia next week.

“I am scheduled to visit Saudi Arabia to meet with the crown prince,” said Zelenskyy, referring to Mohammed bin Salman, the heir to the throne of the oil-rich kingdom. “After that, my team will stay in Saudi Arabia to work with American partners. Ukraine is most interested in peace.”

Another Trump special envoy, Steve Witkoff, confirmed that senior administration officials are arranging to hold talks with top Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia. Witkoff noted that Zelenskyy has been apologetic in recent days about the White House blowup and expressed gratitude. He was circumspect about whether the minerals deal would be signed during the expected meeting in Saudi Arabia. “We’ll see if he fol-

lows through,” Witkoff said.

But Kellogg said he couldn’t guarantee a resumption of weapons deliveries even if Zelenskyy accepts the deal.

“That’s up to the president,” Kellogg said. He added, “You don’t negotiate peace discussions in public. You don’t try to challenge the president of the United States in the Oval Office.”

Trump said in a speech before Congress on Tuesday that Zelenskyy had written to him to say he appreciates U.S. support for his country in its war with Russia.

Trump said Zelenskyy told him that Ukraine is ready to negotiate a peace deal with Russia as soon as possible and would accept the minerals agreement with the U.S. to facilitate that.

Although Trump said he “appreciated” getting the letter, he did not say if it would affect his policy toward Ukraine.

The suspension of U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine will damage Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against ongoing Russian attacks against military and civilian targets, according to an assessment by the Institute for the Study of War. The research group said suspension of all U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukraine would also allow Russian forces to intensify their drone and missile strikes against the Ukrainian rear, affecting millions of Ukrainian civilians and the growth of Ukraine’s defense industrial base.

CAIRO — Hamas on Thursday brushed off President Donald Trump’s latest threat and reiterated that it will only free the remaining Israeli hostages in exchange for a lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

The militant group accused Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to back out of the ceasefire agreement they reached in January. The agreement calls for negotiations over a second phase in which the hostages would be released in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

Hamas spokesperson Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua said the “best path to free the remaining Israeli hostages” is through negotiations on that phase, which were supposed to begin in early February. Only limited preparatory talks have been held so far.

On Wednesday, Trump issued what he said was a “last warning” to Hamas after meeting with eight former hostages. The White House meanwhile confirmed it had held unprecedented direct talks with the militant group, which Israel and Western countries view as a terrorist organization.

“Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!”

Both Israel and Hamas have a longstanding practice of holding onto the remains of their adversaries in order to

ROME — A weak and breathless Pope Francis thanked people for their prayers for his recovery in a remarkable audio message broadcast Thursday, the first public sign of life from the 88-year-old pope since he was hospitalized three weeks ago with double pneumonia.

Francis’ feeble voice, discernible through his labored breaths and in his native Spanish, was recorded Thursday from the hospital and broadcast to the faithful in St. Peter’s Square who had gathered for the nightly recitation of the rosary prayer.

“I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for my health from the square, I accompany you from here,” he said, his soft voice piercing the hushed square.

“May God bless you and the Virgin protect you. Thank you.”

For anyone used to hearing Francis’ voice, which is often so soft it sounds like a whisper, the audio was an emotional punch to the gut that hammered home just how sick he is.

The cardinal presiding over the prayer, Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime, had told the crowd at the start of the service that he had “beautiful news, a beautiful gift” to share. The clearly surprised crowd broke into applause and then applauded again after Francis’ final “Gracias.” Fernández Artime, for his part, bowed his head as he listened.

The 88-year-old pope has chronic lung disease and had part of one lung removed as a young man.

The Vatican has given twice-daily updates on Francis’ medical condition, but has distributed no photos or video of him since the morning of Feb. 14, when he held a handful of audiences at the Vatican before being admitted to Rome’s Gemelli hospital for what was then just a bad case of bronchitis.

trade them in hostage-prisoner deals.

Hamas is believed to still have 24 living hostages taken in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered the war, including IsraeliAmerican Edan Alexander. It is also holding the bodies of 34 others who were either killed in the initial attack or in captivity, as well as the remains of a soldier killed in the 2014 war.

Hamas released 25 Israeli hostages and the bodies of eight more in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in the first 42-day phase of the ceasefire, which ended on Saturday.

Israel supports what it says is a new U.S. plan for the second phase in which Hamas would release half the remaining hostages immediately and the rest when a permanent ceasefire is negotiated. Hamas has rejected the proposal and says it is sticking with the agreement signed in January.

Israel has cut off the delivery of food, fuel, medicine and other supplies to Gaza’s roughly 2 million Palestinians in an attempt to pressure Hamas into accepting the new arrangement. It has threatened “additional consequences” if Hamas does not resume the release of hostages.

EU leaders commit to work together on defense

BY RAF CASERT and LORNE COOK Associated Press

BRUSSELS — European Union leaders on Thursday committed to working together to bolster the continent’s defenses and to free up hundreds of billions of euros for security after U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated warnings that he would cut them adrift to face the threat of Russia alone.

With the growing conviction that they will now have to fend for themselves, countries that have faltered on defense spending for decades held emergency talks in Brussels to explore new ways to beef up their security and ensure future protection for Ukraine.

The move underscored a sea change in geopolitics spurred on

by Trump, who has undermined 80 years of cooperation based on the understanding that the U.S. would help protect European nations following World War II. The 27 EU leaders signed off on a move to loosen budget restrictions so that willing EU countries can increase their military spending. They also urged the European Commission to seek new ways “to facilitate significant defense spending” in all member states, a statement said.

The leaders also took note of a commission offer of loans worth $162 billion to buy new military equipment and invited EU headquarters staff “to examine this proposal as a matter of urgency.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a staunch supporter of Trump and considered to be Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest ally in Europe, refused to endorse part of the summit statement in favor of Ukraine.

But all 26 other EU leaders approved the bloc’s stance that there

Judge rules time served for man in ‘Serial’ case

BY LEA SKENE and BRIAN WITTE Associated Press

BALTIMORE — Adnan Syed, whose case amassed a worldwide following of “Serial” podcast listeners, will remain free even though his murder conviction still stands, a Baltimore judge ruled on Thursday.

The judge agreed to reduce Syed’s sentence to time served under a relatively new state law that provides a pathway to release for people convicted of crimes committed when they were minors.

“This sentence will be followed by a period of five years of supervised

probation,” Judge Jennifer Schiffer wrote in her decision, adding that Syed “is not a danger to the public” and that the interests of justice will be better served by a reduced sentence.

The judge’s ruling followed a hearing last week that included emotional testimony from Syed and relatives of the victim, Hae Min Lee, who was strangled and buried in a shallow grave in 1999.

By The Associated Press WAUKESHA, Wis. — A Wisconsin woman who nearly killed her classmate years ago to please horror character Slender Man can be released from a psychiatric hospital as planned, a judge decided Thursday, rejecting state health officials’ last-minute attempt to keep her committed.

Morgan Geyser has spent the last seven years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren in January ordered her released after state and county health officials completed a community supervision and housing plan.

State Department of Health Services officials were approaching a 60day deadline to present the plan to the judge when they abruptly asked him last week to keep her committed.

Agency officials argued that Geyser didn’t volunteer to her therapy team that she had read “Rent Boy,” a novel about murder and selling organs on the black market. They also alleged that she has been communicating with a man who collects murder memorabilia, and has sent him her own sketch of a decapitated body and a postcard saying she wants to be intimate with him.

can be no negotiations on Ukraine without Ukraine and that the Europeans must be involved in any talks involving their security. The Europeans have so far been sidelined in the U.S.-led negotiations with Russia.

In other developments, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said talks between Ukraine and the U.S. on ending the war will take place in Saudi Arabia next week. In his nightly address, Zelenskyy said he would travel to Saudi Arabia on Monday to meet the country’s crown prince, and his team would stay on to hold talks with U.S. of-

Friedrich Merz, the likely next chancellor of Germany, and summit chairman Antonio Costa discussed ways to fortify Europe’s defenses on a short deadline. Merz pushed plans this week to loosen his nation’s rules on running up debt to allow for higher defense spending.

Others too appeared ready to do more.

“Spend, spend, spend on defense and deterrence. That’s the most important message,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told reporters.

The call is a sharp departure from decades of decline in military spending in Europe, where defense often ranked low in many budgetary considerations after the Cold War. In an address to his country Wednesday evening, French President Emmanuel Macron said the bloc would “take decisive steps.”

“Member states will be able to increase their military spending,” he said, noting that “massive joint funding will be provided to buy and produce some of the most innovative munitions, tanks, weapons and equipment in Europe.”

Macron was expected to confer with his EU counterparts about possibility of using France’s nuclear deterrent to protect the continent from Russian threats.

Trump casts doubt on NATO solidarity

BY MICHELLE L. PRICE

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday expressed uncertainty that NATO would come to the U.S.’s defense if the country were attacked, though the alliance did just that after Sept.

11 — the only time in its history that the defense guarantee has been invoked.

Trump also suggested that the U.S. might abandon its commitments to the alliance if member countries don’t meet defense spending targets, a day after his pick for NATO ambassador assured senators that the administration’s commitment to the military alliance was “ironclad.”

Trump’s comments denigrating NATO, which was formed to counter Soviet aggression during the Cold War, are largely in line with his yearslong criticism of the alliance, which he has accused of not paying its fair share toward the cost of defense. But they come at a time of heightened concern in the Western world over Trump’s cozy relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long seen NATO as a threat, and as the U.S. president seeks to pressure Ukraine into agreeing to a peace deal with the country that invaded it three years ago.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent the alliance into upheaval last month when he said in a speech that the U.S. would not participate in any peacekeeping force in Ukraine, which is not a NATO member, and would not defend any country that participated in it if attacked

by Russia.

Trump said Thursday in the Oval Office that other countries would not come to the

ficials.

In recent weeks, Trump has overturned old certainties about the reliability of the U.S. as a security partner as he embraces Russia, withdraws American support for Ukraine and upends the tradition of cooperation with Europe that has been the bedrock of Western security for generations.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, whose country holds the EU’s rotating presidency, said that three years of war in Ukraine and a shift in attitudes in Washington “pose entirely new challenges for us, and Europe must take up this challenge ... and it must win.”

“We will arm ourselves faster, smarter and more efficiently than Russia,” Tusk said.

Zelenskyy welcomed the plan to loosen budget rules and expressed hopes that some of the new spending could be used to strengthen Ukraine’s own defense industry, which can produce weapons more cheaply than elsewhere in Europe and closer to the battlefields where they are needed.

“We are very thankful that we are not alone, and these are not just words. We feel it. It’s very important,” Zelenskyy said, looking far more relaxed among Europe’s leaders in Brussels than almost a week ago when he received a verbal lashing from Trump in Wash-

defense of the U.S. — though they have done exactly that, in the only instance that the Article 5 defense guarantee was invoked.

“You know the biggest problem I have with NATO? I really, I mean, I know the guys very well. They’re friends of mine. But if the United States was in trouble, and we called them, we said, ‘We got a problem, France. We got a problem, couple of others I won’t mention. Do you think they’re going to come and protect us?’ They’re supposed to. I’m not so sure.”

Article 5 was invoked after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, leading to NATO’s largest

operation in Afghanistan.

France’s military participated in the operation.

“We are loyal and faithful allies,” French President Emmanuel Macron responded Thursday, expressing “respect and friendship” towards U.S. leaders.

“I think we’re entitled to expect the same,” he said.

Macron invoked “centuries-old history,” namechecking the Marquis de Lafayette, a 19-year-old French nobleman, who was a majorgeneral in the American Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and Gen. John Pershing, commander of the American army in

France during World War I. Macron added that a few days ago, he met American World War II veterans who landed on Omaha Beach as part of the D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied France.

France and the U.S. “have always been there for each other,” Macron said.

When asked Thursday if it he was making it U.S. policy that the U.S. would not defend NATO countries that don’t meet military spending targets, Trump said, “well, I think it’s common sense, right? If they don’t pay, I’m not going to defend them.

No, I’m not going to defend them.”

Judge orders White House to pay foreign aid debts

BY ELLEN KNICKMEYER and MICHAEL KUNZELMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A federal judge on Thursday gave the Trump administration until Monday to pay nearly $2 billion owed to partners of the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department, thawing the administration’s six-week funding freeze on all foreign assistance.

U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ruled in favor of nonprofit groups and businesses that sued over the funding freeze, which has forced organizations around the world to slash services and lay off thousands of workers.

Ali’s line of questioning suggested skepticism of the Trump administration’s ar-

gument that presidents have wide authority to override congressional decisions on spending when it comes to foreign policy, including foreign aid.

“It would be an “earthshaking, country-shaking proposition to say that appropriations are optional,” Ali said.

“The question I have for you is, where are you getting this from in the constitutional document?” he asked a government lawyer, Indraneel Sur. Thursday’s order is in an ongoing case with more decisions coming on the administration’s fast-moving termination of 90% of USAID contracts worldwide.

Ali’s ruling comes a day after a divided Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration’s bid to freeze

funding that flowed through USAID. The high court instructed Ali to clarify what the government must do to comply with his earlier order requiring the quick release of funds for work that had already been done.

The funding freeze stemmed from an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 20.

The administration appealed after Ali issued a temporary restraining order and set a deadline to release payment for work already done.

The administration said it has replaced a blanket spending freeze with individualized determinations, which led to the cancellation of 5,800 USAID contracts and 41,000 State Department grants totaling nearly $60 billion in aid.

New york Daily News (TNS)

President Donald Trump on Thursday delayed plans to order the elimination of the federal Department of Education, a move that would likely face fierce opposition from Congress and in the courts.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called reports that Trump would sign the order “fake news” and said no signing was immediately planned.

Aides said the White House was still working on “messaging” around a possible order and concerns that some Republicans might criticize it.

A draft of an executive

order reportedly instructs newly confirmed Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to take all available steps “permitted by law” to close the sprawling department, which has more than 4,000 employees and an annual budget of $240 billion.

“The federal bureaucratic hold on education must end,” Trump’s planned order says, according to ABC News. “The Department of Education’s main functions can, and should, be returned to the states.”

The order would call for an end to the agency that it calls an “experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars” that has “failed our children, our teachers, and our families.”

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul denounced the potential elimination of the Education Department, saying it amounted to Trump’s trading funding a “math class” for “tax breaks for buddies at Mar-a-Lago.” “(Education is) an investment in the future workforce,” Hochul said. “If we stop these investments now, then we’re basically saying we give up. We’re not even going to compete.”

State University of New York Chancellor John King, who served as education secretary in the Obama administration, ticked off a laundry list of school programs that could be cut, such as AP courses and after-school enrichment programs.

President postpones more tariffs lll

Trump changes course amid fears of economic fallout

BY CHRISTOPHER RUGABER, JOSH BOAK and ROB GILLIES Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday postponed 25% tariffs on many imports from Mexico and some imports from Canada for a month amid widespread fears of the economic fallout from a broader trade war.

The White House insists its tariffs are about stopping the smuggling of fentanyl, but the taxes proposed by Trump have caused a gaping wound in the decades-old North American trade partnership. Trump’s tariff plans have also caused the stock market to sink and alarmed U.S. consumers.

In addition to his claims about

will have oxygen monitors set up in them.

The protocol closely mirrors that of Alabama, the only state to have carried out nitrogen gas executions in the modern era. Several key clauses in Louisiana’s protocol match Alabama’s plan word for word.

The decision to unseal the protocol came after U.S. District Chief Judge Shelly Dick of the Middle District of Louisiana on Wednesday ordered the two sides to reach an agreement on making a redacted version available for public view. She imposed a deadline of 10 a.m. Thursday for them to do so, saying she’d hold a court hearing Thursday afternoon if they could not agree.

Dick then ordered the protocol unsealed Thursday morning after both sides agreed to it in the court record.

Her decision came ahead of a court hearing scheduled for Friday as she considers Hoffman’s request for a preliminary injunction that would affect the state’s ability to move forward with his execution. Dick was appointed to the federal bench by former President Barack Obama.

In a ruling late Thursday, Dick said she will largely focus in the upcoming hearing on arguments that Hoffman’s nitrogen gas execution is cruel and unusual punishment and on arguments about his right to counsel and access to courts.

She agreed to dismiss other arguments, including that nitrogen gas would violate Hoffman’s religious beliefs.

Hoffman’s attorneys asked Dick earlier this week to unseal the execution protocol, arguing that it’s a public record under Louisiana law and that the public should have the chance to scrutinize it.

Attorneys for the state initially opposed the unsealing attempt, saying the document should be off-limits and that keeping it secret

fentanyl, Trump has insisted that the tariffs could be resolved by fixing the trade deficit and he emphasized while speaking in the Oval Office that he still plans to impose “reciprocal” tariffs starting on April 2.

“Most of the tariffs go on April the second,” Trump said before signing the orders. “Right now, we have some temporary ones and small ones, relatively small, although it’s a lot of money having to do with Mexico and Canada.”

Trump said he was not looking to extend the exemption on the 25% tariff for autos for another month.

Imports from Mexico that comply with the 2020 USMCA trade pact would be excluded from the 25% tariffs for a month, accord-

was a matter of safety.

The state recently denied a public records request for the protocol from The Advocate | The Times-Picayune, saying that state law exempted its release.

When lawmakers and Gov. Jeff Landry agreed last year to add nitrogen gas and electrocution to lethal injection as approved execution methods, they added new layers of secrecy to the execution process to prevent public release of information about suppliers of death penalty materials.

Hoffman’s attorneys argue that the state aims to “make Mr. Hoffman the test case for an experimental method of execution that has been shown in the handful of times it has been used to cause terror, agony and prolonged excruciating deaths.”

Louisiana’s nitrogen gas system was tested on March 1. The state’s expert placed a mask on a mannequin, according to court filings.

Hoffman, 46, was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the 1996 killing of a 28-year-old woman named Molly Elliott on a remote dock in St. Tammany Parish, after kidnapping her from a parking lot in New Orleans and raping her.

A few months past his 18th birthday at the time, Hoffman has transformed himself in prison, his attorneys say, following Buddhist practices and becoming a mentor to others on death row. His attorneys say Hoffman also suffers post-traumatic stress that will exacerbate his suffering if he’s executed by nitrogen gas.

Along with the federal case, Hoffman’s attorneys have lodged a clemency petition with the state while urging Landry to halt the killing in the meantime.

That plea is pending.

The newly released protocols, though redacted, reveal several details about the state’s plans to use nitrogen gas.

The state is required to carry out the execution between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Hoffman will have his final

baum has planned to announce any retaliatory measures on Sunday, but Trump credited her with making progress on illegal immigration and drug smuggling as a reason for again pausing tariffs that were initially supposed to go into full effect in February.

“I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Our relationship has been a very good one, and we are working hard, together, on the Border.”

Trump’s actions also thawed relations with Canada somewhat, after its initial retaliatory tariffs of $30 billion Canadian (or $21 billion in U.S.) on U.S. goods. The government said it had suspended its second wave of retaliatory tariffs on additional U.S. goods worth $125 billion (or $87 billion in U.S.).

Trump’s on-again, off-again tar-

ing to the orders signed by Trump.

Auto-related imports from Canada that comply with the trade deal would also avoid the 25% tariffs for a month, while the potash that U.S. farmers import from Canada would be tariffed at 10%, the same rate at which Trump wants to tariff Canadian energy products.

Roughly 62% of imports from Canada would likely still face the new tariffs because they’re not USMCA compliant, according to a White House official who insisted on anonymity to preview the orders on a call with reporters. Half of imports from Mexico that are not USCMA compliant would also be taxed under the orders being signed by Trump, the official said.

Mexico President Claudia Shein-

meal by noon on the day of the execution and he can receive visitors until 3 p.m., though his spiritual adviser and lawyer may be able to stay longer.

An hour before he’s set to be executed, prison officials should brief the media and shave Hoffman. Several witnesses can be present for the execution, including the West Feliciana coroner or his designee, the prison warden, a physician of the warden’s choosing, the executioner, media representatives and the spiritual adviser. Two people connected to the victim in Hoffman’s case will also be allowed as witnesses.

Nitrogen gas will flow through the mask at 70 liters per minute. Hoffman’s spiritual adviser will be required to sign a form saying that they understand there’s an unlikely possibility that “an area of free-flowing nitrogen gas” could happen if the hose to the breathing mask detaches in the execution chamber.

“I understand and agree to remain at least 3 feet away from the mask or any outflow of any breathing gases discharged from the system,” the form states.

The execution protocol in Alabama specifies that it is a public document.

Another difference: Alabama’s execution protocol allows death row inmates to choose whether to be put to death with nitrogen gas. In Louisiana, state law says the decision is up to the corrections secretary.

Alabama’s execution protocol states the morning of the execution, the warden or his designee should “pressurize and assess” the nitrogen gas system and secure lockout valves. There are similar provisions in Louisiana’s execution protocol.

When it’s time to put the inmate to death, prison staff will bring a mask to the execution chamber and connect it to breathing gas tubes.

They’ll place a pulse oximeter on the inmate, then place the mask on the inmate’s face. A spiritual adviser is allowed to be present.

Alabama’s execution pro-

iffs threats have roiled financial markets, lowered consumer confidence, and enveloped many businesses in an uncertain atmosphere that could delay hiring and investment.

Major U.S. stock markets briefly bounced off lows after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick previewed the monthlong pauses on CNBC on Thursday.

Significant declines already seen this week resumed within an hour.

The S&P 500 stock index has fallen below where it was before Trump was elected.

Asked whether the stock market decline was due to his tariffs, Trump said: “A lot of them are globalist countries and companies that won’t be doing as well because we’re taking back things that have been taken from us many years ago.”

tempts by the inmate to remove the mask by violent shaking of his head from side-to-side,” Antognini claims.

A professor emeritus of anesthesiology at University of California-Davis, Antognini said in his deposition that he’s served as an expert on behalf of parties seeking executions in “15 to 20” cases over nine years.

Antognini acknowledged that he hasn’t personally witnessed an execution by gassing and said he wasn’t opining on Louisiana’s protocol in a recent declaration.

In his view, nitrogen “quickly enters the mask, and in the absence of breath holding, within four or five breaths, the inmate is breathing nearly 100% nitrogen.”

Breathing rate would make a difference, but he testified that he “would expect them to become unconscious within that 30to 40-second period after they’ve started to breathe that nearly 100% nitrogen.”

Antognini said he based that estimate on three re-

tocol also says they’ll either administer nitrogen gas for 15 minutes or for five minutes after the person’s heart flatlines on an EKG, whichever is longer. Their protocol says breathing air and nitrogen gas should both be set to 500 PSI. Louisiana’s protocol calls for the same specifications.

Both Alabama and Louisiana’s execution protocols were reviewed by Dr. Joseph Antognini, a California anesthesiologist.

Antognini reviewed Alabama’s execution method and helped it pass federal court muster. He figures to play a prominent role in Friday’s hearing in Baton Rouge, after Hoffman’s attorneys deposed him on Tuesday.

“Nothing in the Louisiana protocol or the nitrogen hypoxia system developed

by Louisiana would lead to the inmate suffering pain, aside from pain that would be associated with the inmate struggling while being moved to the execution chamber and being secured to the gurney and any at-

search papers on animals or videos of assisted suicides, two of them authored by the same sociologist. Antognini’s views on nitrogen gas executions in Alabama are based on reports from reporters or an inmate’s spiritual adviser, he acknowledged.

Others who witnessed executions in Alabama by nitrogen gas reported seeing those prisoners labor far longer, in some cases several minutes past when it appeared the nitrogen had started entering the mask.

Federal judges have been unpersuaded that Alabama’s protocol violates the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Before the most recent execution, a federal district judge leaned on Antognini’s opinions to deny a stay.

An attorney for Hoffman drilled Antognini over the bases for his opinions and authority, however, noting that studies he cited involved not nitrogen, but helium.

Charges weighed in Southern student’s death Officials consider felony hazing, manslaughter counts

BY PATRICK SLOAN-TURNER Staff writer

Authorities are considering charges ranging from felony hazing to manslaughter for at least three fraternity members after a Southern University student’s death, a source said.

On Feb. 27, Caleb Wilson, 20, and eight other Omega Psi Phi pledges lined up in order of height for a fraternity ritual, in which each pledge is punched in the chest four times, a source close to the investigation said. Each punch represents one of the fraternity’s “four cardinal principles”: manhood, scholarship, perseverance and uplift.

Wilson, a Kenner native and engineering junior, collapsed after he was punched and experienced

a medical episode, but fraternity members did not call 911 and waited to bring him to a hospital, sources have previously said.

The alleged hazing took place at a warehouse off Greenwell Springs Road — not a local park, as police said some fraternity members initially told them.

The warehouse was being leased

by Todd Smith, owner of California Hardwood Floors. Smith is a member of the graduate chapter of Omega Psi Phi, and he told WAFB that his son is a current member.

Smith has not responded to The Advocate’s requests for comment.

Louisiana’s anti-hazing law prohibits hazing regardless of whether the targeted person voluntarily allowed it. Violators face a $1,000 fine and six months behind bars.

If the person being hazed dies or is seriously injured, penalties increase to a $10,000 fine and five years in prison. The increased penalties also apply if hazing involves

coerced alcohol consumption that leaves the victim’s blood alcohol concentration at or above 0.30%.

A manslaughter conviction can lead to up to 40 years in prison.

The manager of the warehouse said the businesses that leased the property were not following his company’s rules.

“I’m very aggravated about it.

It’s supposed to be a flooring company. It’s not a party venue,” said Wallace Heck Jr., of Heck Management Co. “I fully expect to hear of repercussions about it.”

State business records show California Hardwood Floors leases space in the building. Cleve Dunn Jr., a Baton Rouge Metro Council member, also operates a business, Runner’s Courier Service, from the property.

On Wednesday night, Dunn issued a statement denying any involvement in any events at the warehouse last week.

“I want to make it unequivocally clear that I am not a party to the

official lease agreement between Heck Industries and Todd Smith/ California Floors,” Dunn said in post on Instagram.

Heck said the company rents to businesses, “not nightclubs,” and he doesn’t condone the hazing incident that allegedly took place at the site.

He also said he was unaware that Dunn’s courier business was operating at the site.

Though he declined to comment on possible legal actions, Heck said his company requires approval for a tenant like Smith to sublease a property to someone else, and that did not occur in this case.

“We’ve never issued any approval,” he said.

According to Dunn’s statement, he did not know of his site’s possible involvement until it was reported in the media.

“My business rents a portion of the space for commercial purposes, and I have absolutely no involvement in or authority over

the access granted to students or any activities related to Omega Psi Phi’s use of the building,” Dunn wrote.

The council member said he is not a member of the fraternity or any other “Greek or Divine 9 organization.”

Dunn extended condolences to Wilson’s family and the community.

“While I understand that my name being included in this story draws additional attention to an already tragic situation, it is important that the public know: Neither I, my family, nor my business condone hazing or any other illegal activity. I fully support a swift and thorough investigation, and I trust that justice will be served,” Dunn wrote.

WILSON

Continued from page 1A son. He had a vision for us and he acted on it.”

That drive carried Wilson to a spot playing trumpet at New Orleans’ Warren Easton High School, and later, in one of the most famous marching bands in the United States: Southern University’s Human Jukebox.

But Wilson — described by friends and teachers as relentlessly funny, driven and obsessed with practicing the trumpet — would not live long enough to carry that drive beyond Southern’s campus in Baton Rouge. In a case that has rippled across Louisiana, he died Feb. 27 during an alleged fraternity hazing event at a warehouse on the outskirts of Baton Rouge.

There has since been an outpouring of grief on Southern’s campus and beyond.

In New Orleans, musicians, friends and family members took to the street to memorialize the young man with a traditional second-line — a raw display that filled the Treme neighborhood with hundreds of people, cries of grief, joyous dancing and the booming brass music Wilson loved.

“He was a natural-born leader, one of New Orleans’ brightest bulbs,” said Zachary Stanfill, an educator at the Roots of Music program where Wilson played in middle school.

Wilson grew up in Kenner, the son of a Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy, but his roots were intertwined with neighboring New Orleans.

After picking up music in middle school, he played trumpet in the marching band at Warren Easton High School, where he was an “outstanding student, a dedicated band member and a friend who all who knew him,” a school spokesperson said.

A memorial brass band procession that started from Tuba Square travels through the Treme neighborhood on Thursday in honor of Caleb Wilson, a Southern University student who died after a hazing incident.

Music program who taught Wilson at that time, said even at 13 years old, Wilson had set a goal of one day marching for the Jukebox, the historically Black institution’s famous marching band.

His father, Corey Wilson, is a member of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, a storied predominantly-Black Mardi Gras krewe, and worked on Gayle Benson’s security detail. The New Orleans Saints and Pelicans’ owner issued a statement last week after Caleb Wilson’s death, mourning the loss.

At Southern in recent days, family and friends remembered him as a disciplined student and member of the Jukebox. Friends on Thursday remembered his raucous giggle and charming personality, including a love of the “griddy” dance that took off when he was in middle school, recalled Stanfill.

Williams and Mitchell, Caleb Wilson’s two childhood friends, played in the procession in his memory Thursday. The second-line started in the Treme near the Charbonnet Funeral

Continued from page 1A But officials on Thursday presented a bright future for LNG and rejected the concerns of the previous administration. Since Trump took office in January, his administration has begun approving LNG terminals and cutting barriers that restricted the use of the fuel.

“One of our pathways to energy dominance is just unleashing the incredible resources that we have in this country: getting the red tape, getting the federal government off the back of the worker, off the back of companies,” said Burgum, who chairs Trump’s “national energy dominance council.”

Louisiana is the epicenter of the global LNG export market. In 2023, the state produced more than 60% of the nation’s LNG exports.

The technology at these massive facilities converts natural gas into liquid form by supercooling it, allowing the fuel to be loaded on tankers and exported worldwide.

Natural gas was once seen as a bridge fuel between coal and renewable energy.

Over the last 15 years, the U.S. has gone from being the largest importer to the largest exporter of natural gas.

But recent studies have found that natural gas may be no better than coal due do its release of methane, a powerful heat-trapper, and methane leaks throughout the oil and gas supply chain.

Making liquefied natural gas is more energy-intensive than burning natural

LEVEE

Continued from page 1A bled during the storm 20 years ago, a constitutional amendment that voters overwhelmingly approved reformed the region’s flood control agencies. Among other changes, it created an independent committee to nominate members to the regional levee boards.

Those agencies are responsible for maintaining and operating the levees and pumps that protect the city from storm surge flooding.

Now, Shane Guidry, who is not elected or appointed to any official office and serves as an adviser to the governor in an informal capacity, is recommending to lawmakers that they do away with the nominating committees. He did not specify how the nominating process would be restructured, but Landry has already reformed other state boards to give the governor more power over them.

Following the Katrina reforms, two agencies have been charged with overseeing flood protections in the New Orleans area, the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East and -West.

“We have sat for a year watching how our boards

Workers gather as U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Gov. Jeff Landry speak at Venture Global’s Plaquemines liquefied natural gas export facility on Thursday in Plaquemines Parish. gas alone, accounting for even more emissions.

Proponents of LNG tout job creation and the importance of supplying U.S. allies with fuel. The domestic industry gave European nations an alternative to Russian gas following the invasion of Ukraine. Burgum argued that in building LNG facilities, “we’re literally going to stop wars.”

The $18 billion expansion of Venture Global’s Plaquemines Parish site would bring the total maxi-

mum production capacity of the facility to 45 million tons per year from the current 27 million.

Federal regulators allowed the company to up the export capacity at the site to reach the 27 million figure last month. The expansion is projected to be completed by mid-2027.

Sabel said the total investment of the company’s current and planned projects in Louisiana is over $75 billion. This includes Calcasieu Pass 2, or CP2, a project in Cameron Parish that

garnered national attention and faced heavy opposition from environmental groups. CP2 is still awaiting approval. Sabel said CP2 is “getting ready to launch as soon as we get maybe a couple more permits from the federal government.”

One of the central concerns from residents and environmental advocates has been allegations of a multitude of permit violations from the company’s initial Calcasieu Pass terminal. Sabel said the company satisfies all the standards

for greenhouse gases and other emissions.

While the Virginia-based company is expanding its Louisiana operations and expressing confidence in its future growth, Venture Global recently saw a sharp fall in its stocks following decreased LNG exports and sales. Sabel said that as the company continues to grow, its earnings and revenue will grow with it.

operate. We’re watching for checks and balances on how money is being spent.

We’re finding that’s not happening,” Guidry said. “A lot of this is happening because people get nominated to the board through a process we don’t agree with.”

He referred to members of the current nominating committees as “scammers who are just out for themselves, and we’re going to put a stop to it.”

He stressed repeatedly that he and the governor are seeking to ferret out “waste, fraud and abuse,” echoing language used by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. But Guidry provided no evidence of any waste or wrongdoing.

Sen. Patrick Connick, RMarrero, said that he had not seen draft legislation yet, but confirmed that the Governor’s Office had approached him about introducing a bill that would reform the nominating process for positions on levee boards statewide.

Kate Kelly, a spokesperson for the governor, said she could not offer any additional details on the plans.

The nominating committee is intended to be an independent panel that ensures that the levee authorities’ boards includes people with expertise in hydrology and engineering required to

oversee the maintenance of the region’s flood control infrastructure.

In an article about the postKatrina flood protection reforms for the New England Journal of Public Policy, Ruthie Frierson, a former real estate agent who started Citizens for 1 Greater New Orleans, wrote that the nominating committee was seen as crucial for boosting the public’s confidence in the levee boards.

“I think we should avoid experimenting with lives, property, and our region’s future by reducing the independent local oversight that brought focus, integrity, and competence to flood protection,” she told The Times-Picayune last week, noting that 94% of New Orleanians voted in favor of the constitutional amendment that created the regional levee authority in 2006.

Good-government groups also expressed opposition to scrapping the nominating committees.

The head of the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana (PAR), Steven Procopio, said he believes the nominating committee should stay in place.

“Eliminating the levee board nominating committee would be a serious mistake,” he said. “If we allow direct political ap-

pointments, we’re putting Louisiana’s flood protection system and the people who rely on it at risk.”

Barry Erwin, who runs the Council for a Better Louisiana (CABL), echoed Procopio’s concerns. So did Becky Mowbray, the president and CEO of the nonprofit Bureau of Governmental Research.

“We would be concerned about any change that could increase the chances of politics entering the management of our flood protection assets,” Mowbray said.

Under the current system, PAR and CABL get to appoint one person each to the nominating committee.

Jay Lapeyre, who served as the chair of the nominating committee for 17 years, sees it as crucial to maintaining the public’s confidence in the levee board.

“I believe it’s a mistake to reinject politics back into this process,” he said.

After Katrina, building confidence in the city’s flood control systems was crucial for bringing investment back to New Orleans that allowed the city to recover.

A lack of confidence in the flood agency was “a truly existential threat” to New Orleans after Katrina’s levee failures, he said.

“The truth is that this has worked beautifully,” he said of the nominating commit-

tee.

Guidry’s push comes as he pursues other changes at the east bank levee authority. He and his hand-picked board chairman pushed the board not to hire a director for the agency, and instead allow its police chief to assume many of those duties.

That has drawn harsh pushback from other board members who, bucking Guidry and his board president, temporarily gave the director job to the agency’s chief engineer and created a search committee to permanently fill the position.

They warned that Guidry’s reforms could cause the agency to lose its flood protection focus.

Changing the appointment process could in theory allow Landry and Guidry to pursue changes with less board opposition.

Guidry, meanwhile, has repeatedly alleged, without evidence, that Lapeyre and other current members of the nominating committee have put forward board members who have wasted taxpayer funds.

“It’ll come out,” Guidry said. “Be patient.”

Lapeyre rejected the accusations, saying levee board members since Katrina have helped make New Orleans the “best protected coastal city on the Gulf or East coasts.”

Within the Catholic school com‐ munity of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, Grace worked in the Office of Catholic Schools and re‐ ceived Religion Education Credentials through the Archdiocese Office of reli‐ gious Education. In 2012, she was accepted in the First Institute of Lay Eccle‐ sial Ministry program at Notre Dame Seminary com‐ pleting the program with a commission to serve as a Lay Ecclesial Minister in 2015.

Grace though a float rider for many years, hopped up and joined right in haven’t patiently waited through the pageantry. She often told the story of how one of the members never missing a beat danced her right out of the line back to her seat! Not yet, Grace!

‘YOUNG FUTURES ARE DYING’

McKenna’s office failed to ID dead man

BY BEN MYERS Staff writer

An Orleans Parish judge has ruled that Coroner Dwight McKenna’s office is liable for “reckless and outrageous misconduct” when it failed to identify a man who died of a drug overdose and misled his parents for months.

Civil District Judge Kern Reese agreed with plaintiffs Sherry and Theron Pfantz that McKenna’s office neglected its legal McKenna duty by failing to take additional steps after a New Orleans Police Department officer conducted a fingerprint search and misspelled their son Benjamin’s last name as “Peantz.”

“The coroner took absolutely no action whatsoever,” Reese wrote in his order issued Wednesday, following a two-day trial on Feb. 24 and Feb. 25. “This inaction sent Benjamin’s parents on an excruciating search for their missing son.”

Reese awarded the family $10,000 in damages, far below what the plaintiffs sought based on awards from similar lawsuits in other states. The Pfantzes’

Help sought in ID of skull found in 1984 Sketch released of man found near Mississippi state line

BY BOB WARREN

Staff writer

The St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s Office is asking for the public’s help to identify human bones — including a skull — found decades ago near the Louisiana-Mississippi state line.

Hunters found the bones on the bank of the West Pearl River in October 1984, and the remains have been a mystery ever since. A cause of death is not known, authorities have said.

Previous examinations and analyses show the bones are those of a male, probably between 18 and 40 years old and of mixed race, the Coroner’s Office said in a news release Thursday morning.

“Every decedent deserves an identity,” St. Tammany Coroner Christopher Tape said. “Cases may grow ‘cold’ but they are never

Looking into the crowd of more than 100 students, teachers, parents and others protesting Thursday at City Hall to demand Mayor LaToya Cantrell uphold a $90 million dollar settlement deal to fund schools, 6-year-old Edie Topp took a big breath and began to name the teachers who have made a difference in her life.

math and the importance of exercise. Still others showed her how to be creative and encouraged her to keep trying even when it’s hard, said Topp, who is a first-grader at Bricolage Academy.

Her sparkly jacket glimmered in the sunlight. Students nearby held signs that read “Where’s the money?”

City Council members, School Board members and district officials stood on the same steps and announced they had reached a deal that would have ended a legal dispute between the city and the Orleans Parish School Board over tax collection.

Under the agreement, the city was to pay $20 million to schools this year, plus $7 million annually for the next decade, and stop taking a fee from taxes the city collects on

Tyrell Morris, who is facing criminal charges for abusing his office while serving as director of New Orleans’ 911 calling system, announced Thursday he will run for mayor this fall.

Morris was indicted by a grand jury in June on state charges of malfeasance in office, false impersonation of a peace officer and insurance fraud, among others. The charges stemmed from Morris’s failure to submit to a drug and alcohol screen after crashing his public SUV on Elysian Fields Avenue. He then alleg-

Morris said he “stands firm” in his innocence and has been considering a Morris run to succeed Mayor LaToya Cantrell for the last two years. He reported filing his campaign documents Thursday with the Louisiana Board of Ethics, but those were not immediately available online.

The on-ramp was closed temporarily just before 7 p.m. Tuesday as police investigated the killing.

Stevenson died from a gunshot wound, according to the coroner’s preliminary cause of death.

Police are still investigating the killing, and officials have not announced any updates in the case.

Staff writer

The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office on Thursday identified a man who was fatally shot in his vehicle on Interstate 10 in the West Lake Forest area of New Orleans East on Mardi Gras Day. Wesley G. Stevenson, 31, was found dead in his vehicle on the I-10 eastbound on-ramp from Crowder Boulevard.

Just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, police responded to a report of a shooting on I-10 eastbound after a fight at a nearby store in the 5700 Email Marco Cartolano Block of Crowder Boulevard. at marco.cartolano@ Police said two suspects theadvocate.com.

Continued from page 1B ‘closed’ until we know the name of the person.”

As technology has become more advanced, Coroner’s Office investigators have tried different methods to identify the remains. The Coroner’s Office DNA Lab completed an analysis in 2019 and uploaded the data to the national Combined DNA Identification System and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System databases, the Coroner’s Office said.

But there has not been a match through either of those databases.

The bones were investigated after the hunters discovered them, and at some point, the skull wound up in a pathology storage area at Slidell Memorial Hospital, Chris Knoblauch, a Coroner’s Office forensic death investigator, has said previously.

After learning of the skull, the Coroner’s Office worked with anthropologists at LSU’s FACES Lab, which in 2023 developed a sketch of what the man might have looked like. The Coroner’s Office has publicized that sketch but it has not brought in any information to help crack the case.

Through their analysis and examinations, experts have estimated that the remains could have been there for as long as 10 years before they were found in 1984, the Coroner’s Office said. That could place the birth of the unidentified person from 1940 to 1975, the news release said.

Knoblauch and the Coroner’s Office have been able to crack several other cold cases in recent years.

In April 2023, authorities were able to identify skeletal remains found by hunters off Bayou Paquet Road near Slidell in the late 1980s as Paula Ann Boudreaux,

of Lafourche Parish. Boudreaux had gone missing in 1986.

In June 2023, the Coroner’s Office announced it had identified the remains of Joseph Lee Muniz, of Burnsville, Minnesota. Squirrel hunters found Muniz’s remains in 1993 in the woods off Interstate 59 near the Mississippi state line. He had been shot in the back of the head.

And in October 2022, investigators announced that the discovery of a human foot inside a bucket in Mississippi had helped them finally crack the cold case of human remains found along a rural stretch of U.S. 90 near the Rigolets in 2016.

Though the body of Kleanthis Konstantinidis has been identified, no arrests have been made in his homicide.

In the news release Thursday, the Coroner’s Office said Knoblauch believes the person whose bones were found on the West Pearl River bank was likely from Mississippi. “His life mattered, and it didn’t stop mattering when he died,” Tape said in the news release.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Coroner’s Office at (985) 7811150.

The very first Mardi Gras under a “SEAR 1,” Super Bowl-level federal threat rating brought proactive policing along with an unprecedented security presence to city streets, with National Guard soldiers, 600 New Orleans police officers and 150 Louisiana State Police troopers among those assigned to the task.

Hundreds more federal agents were on the ground with bomb-sniffing dogs or monitoring networks of cameras and intelligence on potential threats, officials said, in response to the Jan. 1 terror attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 and wounded dozens more.

Two hundred OPSO deputies and 225 officers from 25 partner agencies were assigned to police parade routes over the course of the 10 days, said Hutson, whose office coordinated the city-funded effort.

The city saw some violence; at least seven shootings — two fatal — unfolded in New Orleans during the parade period beginning on Friday, Feb. 21, and ending Tuesday. None of that violence occurred on parade routes, according to a Times-Picayune analy-

“Even symbolically, $5,000 to each of them for what they have suffered and continue to suffer is inadequate,” Trahant said in a text.

A spokesperson for McKenna said the office was “extremely disappointed” with the ruling and was considering all options.

The Pfantzes searched for their son for eight months after learning he had walked out of a Metairie rehab clinic.

Benjamin Pfantz died within weeks of leaving the clinic, and his body was promptly delivered to the morgue in September 2022. But Coroner’s Office staffers continually told his parents they didn’t have him.

behalf of the school district.

But Cantrell pulled out of the deal last month, arguing the city cannot afford the payout.

Since then, Cantrell has faced fierce criticism from City Council members and school leaders. The protest, which took place Thursday as most of New Orleans schools are still on Mardi Gras break, followed a heated City Council hearing last month and a return to court to attempt to force the mayor to follow through with the agreement. A judge is expected to issue a ruling later this month.

Thursday’s protest was organized initially by Bricolage teachers. But it grew into a coalition of more than a dozen groups, including other charter school unions and community organizing groups such as Step Up Louisiana and Unión Migrante, which provided live translation for Spanish speakers in the crowd.

Erin Canfield, a Bricolage employee who oversees the gifted and talented program, told protesters that the mayor’s decision to

Gilbert Montano, the city’s chief administrative officer, and that she would not have agreed to the terms. Her administration has argued that paying the district would put a financial strain on the city.

Rose Cutropia, whose grandchildren attend New Orleans public schools, said on Thursday she voted for millages to fund public schools, and it would be a “reasonable expectation that the funding that we vote for gets actually allocated the way it was intended to be.”

renege on the agreement would likely ripple through school budgets across the city.

“It will cast a shadow that will take years for our children to recover from,” Canfield said. “It will silence bands, dry up our art supplies, cut our field trips, overfill our classrooms and eliminate our teachers.”

In a statement on Thursday evening, the mayor’s office said that the city hopes all sides continue “productive talks on points of compromise that are in the best interest of the students, School Board, and the City of New Orleans.”

work,” he said. “I’ve been in public service all my life, I think I would do great things for the city.”

Morris was named head of the communication district, a state entity which handles 911 and 311 calls, in 2018, after serving as the district’s operations director. During that time, Morris said he “got to hear from residents about where our pain points are … I think I can remedy that and make this city a place that residents are proud to call home.”

In 2023, Cantrell appointed Morris to lead a 14-member violent crime task force that was supposed to recommend policy and legislative actions to address a sharp uptick in violent crime. The mayor also put him in charge of an effort to upgrade the New Orleans Police Department’s software system, which resulted in a questionable $30 million contract that was eventually abandoned.

Morris will face a stiff challenge from the early front-runner, City Council Vice President Helena More-

Dave Cash, president of the United Teachers of New Orleans — a union that represents teachers and school employees at charter schools across the city — said the school board’s financial issues have been used as a “petty deflection tactic” by the mayor’s administration.

“Two wrongs don’t make a right,” Cash said. “The School Board needs to get their house in order, and they’re working towards doing that, and that doesn’t stop the mayor’s responsibility from signing the CEA.” Still, teachers, students and parents said they were anxious about what the future could hold.

Eliana Butler, an 11-yearold student, was concerned that educational field trips would be on the chopping block. Elijah Butler, a 13-year-old Bricolage student, expressed concern that his mother, an 18-year educator, could lose her job.

“We need money, and we need it desperately,” Elijah Butler said. “What are they going to tell the young athletes, actors and musicians that need the extracurriculars that are going to be cut because of these budget cuts? Young futures are dying, and we can’t let that happen.”

sis of the New Orleans Police Department’s major offense logs.

The number produced by Hutson didn’t present a complete picture.

NOPD officials are still compiling Mardi Gras arrest statistics, which they said they will release after several parades rescheduled by inclement weather roll later this month.

Court dockets, however, showed 18 people booked into the Orleans Justice Center for firearms-related offenses on Mardi Gras day.

Records on those arrests offer insight into what officials billed as a nimble public safety strategy that balanced post-terrorist attack security demands with a new state law that allows people 18 or older to carry firearms concealed without a permit. The law, which debuted in New Orleans in August, stirred opposition from New Orleans officials who argued it would hamstring police.

In at least half a dozen of the Mardi Gras day arrests, police nabbed suspects for allegedly smoking weed while carrying unholstered, loaded guns in crowded downtown areas.

They include Catron Hargrove, 17, a high school student from Baton Rouge. State troopers say they saw Hargrove smoking a “marijuana cigar” while toting a loaded, unhol-

stered Glock 19 with a 31-round extended magazine in his waistband at 8:20 p.m. on Mardi Gras day in the 100 block of Bourbon Street.

Joseph Taylor, a California DJ, likewise attracted the attention of officers patrolling Bourbon Street by smoking a “hand-rolled marijuana cigar,” according to court records. He admitted to carrying a loaded, unsecured .357 magnum that he’d rented for $200 for protection, according to court records.

Taylor was arrested on suspicion of negligent carrying of a concealed weapon and possession of marijuana.

Southern University student Frederick Turner, 19, was arrested on two counts of negligent injuring after he allegedly dropped his gun in the crowded 200 block of Bourbon Street as the Endymion parade rolled Saturday night, causing it to fire and nick two people via projectile, according to court records. Turner fled.

NOPD investigated the incident as an apparent accidental discharge of a firearm, not an aggravated battery, according to spokesperson Sgt. Barry Fletcher.

In all but one of the 18 firearm-related arrests, Orleans Parish criminal court magistrate commissioner Jonathan Friedman found probable cause on Ash Wednesday.

Pfantz’s periodic calls in May 2023, a receptionist searched Benjamin’s birth date in the coroner’s database and discovered the error.

The Coroner’s Office had cremated the body by then, violating the Pfantzes’ religious beliefs and depriving them of the chance to bury him in a family plot in Beauregard Parish, where they live, their attorney argued.

At the end of the trial, Reese urged the parties to settle and to consider the monetary value of “living in limbo for eight and a half months.”

“How much is that worth, not knowing what happened to your child?”

Reese said, allowing one week for negotiations.

Trahant said the coroner did not make a settlement offer.

Bill Bradley, a lawyer for McKenna’s office, said he had not seen the judgment and declined to comment.

The coroner’s chief investigator, Brian Lapeyrolerie, testified at length about the office’s lack of written pro-

tocols and training procedures. McKenna did not appear at the trial, but has publicly denied any misconduct.

State law requires the Coroner’s Office to “make every reasonable effort” to identify bodies and notify the next of kin. Fingerprinting is the coroner’s responsibility, but McKenna typically delegates that task to the NOPD. A Coroner’s Office investigator ran the misspelled last name through a public records database and received no results. Reese said the search results should have been a “red flag,” since the investigator also had Benjamin’s birth date and a state identification number from a previous arrest.

The Coroner’s Office could have obtained dental records, used other search databases, asked the NOPD to double check the spelling or “even conduct(ed) a mere Google search,” Reese wrote in his judgment.

no, who announced her campaign in December after amassing a broad coalition of allies and nearly $1 million in campaign funding, according to reports filed with the state Ethics Board. As an at-large council member, Moreno called for Morris’ immediate suspension after he announced his resignation in 2023, pending an investigation into allegations that he altered a written policy as part of the attempted cover-up.

A campaign representative for Moreno on Thursday declined to comment on Morris’ entry into the race.

Former Criminal District Court Judge Arthur Hunter has also announced his candidacy for the Oct. 11 primary. City Council member Oliver Thomas is continuing to investigate a run.

Morris is being prosecuted by Williams, who also ran for a citywide office while under indictment. Williams won his seat while facing federal tax fraud charges in 2020, and was acquitted by a jury two years later. He also declined to comment on Morris’ candidacy.

Morris is due in court on March 28 for a pretrial hearing, with a trial scheduled for a month later. If found

guilty as charged, he faces up to 10 years in prison. While the case could be resolved before the election, state law calls for a sitting mayor to be automatically suspended without pay if found guilty of a state felony.

Morris said Thursday that his nascent campaign is “definitely a grassroots effort,” with no funding so far.

“Zero. We’re starting fresh,” he said. “We just opened a bank account today.”

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, 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.

Charbonnet, Gloria

In Loving Memory of Gloria Charbonnet: August 12, 1930- February 13, 2025.

In the early hours of Thurs‐ day, February 13, 2025, Glo‐ Charbonnet, the ria beloved matriarch and tire‐ less champion of justice, left us to join her cherished Bernard, her partner in life and love. Gloria was born on August 12, 1930 in the vibrant heart of New Or‐ leans, Louisiana, a city that remain forever would etched in her spirit. Her life, a gentle yet unyielding force, was one of love, dis‐ cipline, and an unwavering commitment to human dig‐ nity. A mother of five, Glo‐ ria nurtured not only her own children, but an entire community. She was the pillar upon which a genera‐ tion leaned for guidance and solace. Her children, whose careers span across education, law, the judi‐ ciary and industry, bear the indelible mark of her drive, her quiet but firm belief that success is not a solitary achievement but a shared journey. She did not merely encourage her chil‐ dren to thrive; she de‐ manded it, pushing them their comfort beyond zones into realms where they could truly make a difference. Gloria's social consciousness ran deep.

From the tragedy of Em‐ mett Till to the triumph of Barack Obama's election, Gloria's heart beat in sync with the struggles of the oppressed. A tireless advo‐ cate for civil rights, she raised her children with the sacred responsibility to help the marginalized and to defend those whose voices had been silenced.

Her own hands were never idle, she donated not just her time, but her resources to causes close to her soul: Native American missions, Doctors Without Borders, the NAACP- each cause re‐ ceiving her support, a tes‐ tament to the integrity of her convictions. Her career was a mosaic of dedication

to causes to sou Native American missions, Doctors Without Borders, the NAACP- each cause re‐ ceiving her support, a tes‐ tament to the integrity of her convictions. Her career was a mosaic of dedication to service. As a school crossing guard, she en‐ sured the safety of chil‐ dren with the same care she lavished on her own.

As a district manager for World Book Encyclopedias, she worked to ensure knowledge reached homes far and wide. And as a clerk of municipal court, she contributed to the quiet, steady administra‐ tion of justice that upheld the order of her beloved city. Gloria was equally a woman of deep and abid‐ ing love. To her husband, she was the rock upon which he leaned for sup‐ port, a well into which he reached for strength. To her children-Bernard, Jr., Cynthia, Geralyn, Pierre and Desiree-she was a teacher, a guide and a pro‐ tector. To her grandchil‐ dren and great-grandchil‐ dren, she was a living tes‐ tament to the importance of kindness, humility and the enduring power of love.

And to her extended family and countless friends, she was a constant, a beacon of integrity and warmth in a world that often seemed too cold. Now, as Gloria is reunited with Bernard, she leaves behind a legacy that will endure in the lives she touched, in the work her children continue and in the memories of all who knew her. Her journey through this world was one of quiet resilience, a life well-lived and a love that never faltered. She will be missed by all who knew her, but her spirit will for‐ ever remain in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

A memorial service will be held in Gloria and her hus‐ band, Bernard L. Charbon‐ net, Sr.'s honor at St. Leo the Great Catholic Church, 2916 Paris Avenue, New Or‐ leans, LA on Saturday, March 15, 2025 at 10 am.

Visitation begins at 9 am.

The family would like to extend their deepest grati‐ tude to Jessica Mitchell, who walked side by side with Gloria as her care‐ giver and friend in the final years of her life. In lieu of flowers, the family ask that donations be made in Glo‐ ria's name to Doctors Without Borders, a cause that was close to her heart.

Frank was returned to his maker at the age of 88.

He died on February 25, 2025 after a valiant battle with Esophageal and Liver Cancer. Frank was born on December 4. 1936 in New Orleans, Louisiana and raised his family in Metairie as a long-time parishioner in St. Angela Merici Parish. After his home flooded after Hurricane Katrina, he relocated "North of I-12" to his weekend hideaway in Franklinton and was a fulltime resident of Washington Parish until his death. He is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Alida Gennusa, his first wife, Mary Louise Geraci Gennusa, daughterin-law, Diane Gennusa, sister, Linda Schomburg, and stepson Torry Richoux.

Frank is survived by his second wife, Deborah Richoux Gennusa; his beloved children, Frank Paul Gennusa, III (Kae) of Kingwood, Texas, Mary Louise Gennusa Rasch (Tim) of Pearl River, Louisiana, and Lisa Maria Gennusa Ledet (Ronnie) of Kenner, Louisiana; cherished "Paw-Paw" of Tony Gennusa (Cheska), Joey Gennusa, Emily Rasch, Ashleigh Ledet-Cheng (Reuben), Allison Ledet, Amelia Ledet Manuel (Troy), and Andrew Ledet;

ished "Paw-Paw" of Tony Gennusa (Cheska), Joey Gennusa, Emily Rasch, Ashleigh Ledet-Cheng (Reuben), Allison Ledet, Amelia Ledet Manuel (Troy), and Andrew Ledet; and blessed great- grandfather of Beckham Gennusa, Baylen Gennusa, and Jack Manuel. He is also survived by his stepchildren, Dannell Rome (Dago), and Brandon Richoux (Christie); step-grandchildren, Curt Rome (Kristina), Christopher Rome, Parker Richoux, and Libby Richoux; and 8 step great grandchildren. He was also the proud big brother of Alida Culpepper, Bernard Gennusa, and the late Linda Schomburg.

Frank was a graduate of St. Henry Grammar School, De La Salle High School (1954), and Loyola University (1958) where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration while working full-time at Winn Dixie.

He was a member of Alpha Delta Gamma Social Fraternity at Loyola. His business career was in wholesale sales management in the motor truck industry. He was employed

by International Harvester from 1958-1965 and Ford Motor Company as Heavy Truck Sales Manager for the Gulf South area from 1965 until his retirement in 1997. Frank's career enabled him to meet many people throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Arkansas. He was an 8year veteran of the Navy and finished his military career flying as a crew member in an anti-submarine squadron (VS 822) stationed at Alvin Callender Field in Belle Chasse. A long-standing member of the Knights of Columbus since the 1960s, Frank served as Treasurer and Grand Knight of Ludovicum Chapter at St. Louis King of France. Upon relocating to Franklinton, he joined the Father John Leblanc Council at Holy Family Catholic Church.

Frank spent many enjoyable hours of entertaining discussions with his friends at the Bonnabel Boat Launch as a founding member of the "Medicare Country Club" at that famous storytelling venue on Lake Pontchartrain. He and his friends that have gone before him will have eternity to muse their many adventures on Lake Pontchartrain and other byways of the great Louisiana outdoors. "May all the trout be mules, the blue crab claws number ones, the shrimp 21-26 count, all the bucks 8 points and above, and the ducks decoying in droves".

While Frank's business was "Big Truck Sales", his passion was hunting and fishing. He enjoyed duck hunting, decoy carving, chasing the mighty white tail deer, and the willey turkey. There was never an outdoor season that did not get his attention. We would be remiss if we did not mention squirrel and rabbit hunting with his beagle "Buck", his beloved companion for 13 years, who was a Father's Day gift from his children. In 1985, he obtained his own patch of the woods in Franklinton and learned how to hunt and fish from dry land. He also grew vegetables and sweet melons on the "land" called "Easy Living." From bush hogging on his Ford tractor to having a "cold drink" around the campfire, "Easy Living" was his sedative, along with God and his family, gave him the strength to face life's challenges.

Frank's motto in life was, "It's better to be lucky than smart-but if God gave you both, you are truly blessed." He loved his family, friends, Faith, and country. "Long may they live in freedom". The visitation will be on Saturday, March 8, 2025 at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home from 10 a.m. until the funeral mass at noon. The interment will take place privately at Lake Lawn Park Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. lll

OPINION N O L A.C O M/opinions

Invest in French Quarter to keep momentum going With Super Bowl LIX in the books and a round of applause for our city for a job well done, we are reminded of something that we as New Orleanians all know: when we get on stage, we shine.

Throughout planning for the big game, one question arose, “How do we Daniel make this permaHammer nent?” Until now, the answer was, GUEST COLUMNIST “Let’s get through Super Bowl first.”

Well, we did. So where do we go from here?

I believe the answer is right in front of us. It is in the people of New Orleans as the inheritors of its history and the creators of its culture. Even without a Super Bowl, New Orleans drives the state’s economy with culture and the commerce it inspires. How

do we channel this into lasting investments?

We start in the French Quarter, the cornerstone of our cultural tourism industry. Some 90% of our city’s annual visitors spend time in the French Quarter. The French Quarter is our single most visited attraction, and it is not replicable anywhere else. It’s the goose that lays the golden egg, and it must be kept healthy.

Tourists are attracted by culture, and culture is created by people. That means the continued success of the tourism industry depends on connectivity with the people of the place — New Orleanians.

Equal investment is required in making the French Quarter attractive and desirable for locals and for visitors, ensuring that both groups are present in the French Quarter at the same time and find value in many of the

same things. If we are successful in achieving this, the French Quarter will continue to serve as our top attraction, engaging visitors and gaining greater relevance for our residents.

A better, safer, cleaner, morevisited French Quarter is good for everyone. The more locals work, live and gather there, the more it retains its authentic character and the more tourists will visit to experience its authenticity. Virtuous circle.

This potential reality could be near at hand with major investment in certain key areas.

We need to invest in attractions that intentionally activate cultural heritage. Cultural heritage is important to visitors who want to experience it and to our residents, to whom it belongs. Museums are critical attractions that serve this function. Imagine if French Quarter museums collec-

tively hosted a million-plus visitors annually, or about 5% of our city’s total annual visitors. They would be among the most visited museums in the country.

Getting there will require significant enhancement of museum facilities, investments in awareness raising and in the second key area: access. Restrictions on vehicular traffic may be advisable for safety; however, this can and must be done without sacrificing business opportunity or authenticity. Provisions must be made to facilitate resident and business services access and investments, making it easy for people to get to and around the French Quarter with ease and without fear.

New Orleans’ tourism industry is robust, and investing in its future success is critical to ensuring positive future economic outcomes for the city and state.

As an industry whose viability depends on engagement with and relevance to local people, the right investments will serve not only to benefit the industry but will equally serve to improve the quality of life of residents.

Just like the recent $500 million Superdome renovations helped us get the contract to host Super Bowl LIX, smart and major investments in the intentional activation of cultural heritage in the French Quarter is critical to our future success. The French Quarter is unique, non-replicable, and it plays a defining role for our city in the eyes of most people.

Let’s keep the momentum of Super Bowl LIX going by investing in the French Quarter for the equal benefit of all.

Daniel Hammer is the president and CEO of the Historic New Orleans Collection.

NOAA cuts could raise Decreases to USAID have danger of severe weather implications for world, La. Extreme weather is increasing.

For the naysayers, just look at recent experience.

Depending on where you were, between 8 and 12 inches of snow fell in New Orleans on Jan. 22. The last time we had 8 inches of snow in New Orleans was 130 years ago on Feb. 14, 1895.

Wildfires are burning in South Carolina and Margaret North Carolina right now, but nothing like Orr what happened in Los GUEST Angeles. Just a couple COLUMNIST of weeks before New Orleans had snow, 40,000 acres burned in parts of L.A. To put that into perspective, that’s about one quarter of New Orleans gone.

In Los Angeles, over 15,000 buildings and homes went up in smoke.

At least 29 people lost their lives.

An extreme drought, dead vegetation and Santa Ana winds gusting to 100 miles-per-hour were the perfect setup for the inferno.

Here in New Orleans, we know the impacts of wildfires. Remember the record heat of 2023? There were 17 100-degree days at the airport. We hit an all-time record high of 105. At one point we were 30 inches of rain below average for the year. Wildfires were burning.

On Oct. 22, 2023, the skies of New Orleans filled with smoke. I was on the air that night and warned of a major fog event. Dense fog was forecast. The combination of smoke and fog made for a “super fog” event.

The morning of Oct. 23, there was a 168-vehicle pileup on Interstate 55.

Seven people died.

Tornadoes. We’ve had a major wake up call. For the first time ever an EF-3 tornado hit New Orleans in New Orleans East on Feb. 7, 2017.

The large wedge tornado was on the ground for 10 miles and destroyed 638 homes and 40 businesses. Thankfully no one died, because there were plenty of warnings.

On March 22, 2022, an even stronger tornado hit New Orleans. The large wedge tornado slammed into Arabi with 160 mph winds. A fourblock area was hardest hit. A young man died trying to save his dog. A young woman died a few days later.

Her home was moved off its foundation.

On Dec. 14 that same year, an EF-2 hit Montz and Edgard, killing an

elderly woman. That same tornado crossed the Bonnet Carre Spillway.

Thankfully no cars flew into the lake.

We know hurricanes all too well here. We’ve had devastating hurricanes like Betsy, Camille and Katrina, but things are changing.

We see strong hurricanes more often. Before 2020 the Louisiana coast was hit by one Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds. That was the Last Island Hurricane of 1856.

Hurricane Laura hit near Cameron with 150 mph winds Aug. 27, 2020.

One year later, on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ida made landfall at Port Fourchon at 11:56 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 29, 2021, with 150 mph winds. So, we had two Category 4 hurricanes with 150 mph winds within two years and the previous Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds was 164 years earlier!

Hurricanes are now intensifying rapidly. That means they are going through a 35 mph wind-speed increase within 24 hours.

Harvey in 2017 went from depression to landfalling hurricane within two and a half days. Michael in 2018 went from depression to landfalling Category 5 hurricane in three and a half days. Two days and two hours after Laura entered the Gulf, it made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane.

Hurricanes do not just impact the coast. They impact areas far inland.

I can testify to the fact that the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service, both part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, give lifesaving information during these events.

Their whole purpose is to save lives.

They give specific information on what areas are at risk for severe storms, floods, drought, fire, snow, wind, hail and tornadoes.

I understand the need to cut waste and balance the budget, but leave the chainsaw at home for when you have a tornado, flood or hurricane.

Do you want timely warnings? Cuts to NOAA and ultimately the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service must be made with the safety of all people in mind.

“Game of Thrones” made the expression “Winter is coming” famous.

Here’s a dose of reality. Hurricane season is coming.

Meteorologist Margaret Orr retired in 2024 after 45 years at WDSU in New Orleans.

Sweeping changes to U.S. foreign aid under the second Trump administration are reshaping America’s role in global health, affecting efforts to fight disease, grow the economy and stabilize key regions vital to U.S. interests.

Recent actions marked David Hotchkiss a stunning escalation with GUEST the decision COLUMNIST of the Trump administration to terminate nearly 10,000 USAID awards.

For decades, USAID has Mai P. Do played a crucial role in GUEST COLUMNIST fighting diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria while improving maternal and child health and food security. Programs like the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the President’s Malaria Initiative and nutrition initiatives have saved millions of lives and strengthened health systems worldwide.

These abrupt cuts create dangerous gaps in health systems, weakening U.S. preparedness against global health threats and increasing the risk of disease outbreaks reaching American communities and trade partners.

The consequences extend far beyond international aid. USAID’s collapse disrupts key economic sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing and health innovation, with Louisiana’s agricultural industry already feeling the effects.

Louisiana rice farmers, who relied on USAID’s Food for Peace program, now face financial uncertainty and potential job losses. In 2024 alone, USAID purchased over $126 million worth of U.S. rice. As The Advocate

| The Times-Picayune recently reported, farmers are bracing for lost revenue as USAID, a major buyer of American agricultural exports, is dismantled.

Tulane University’s Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine — the oldest school of public health in the U.S. — has played a critical role in strengthening health systems in low- and middle-income countries by supporting schools of public health, training professionals and generating evidence to inform health policy.

However, recent terminations of USAID-supported projects now threaten Tulane’s ability to sustain these partnerships, cutting off critical training programs, weakening disease surveillance efforts and disrupting collaboration with global health partners.

Tulane’s global health research has been used to strengthen local public health responses. For example, Tulane’s spatial analyses expertise — developed through work in Africa — was applied in New Orleans during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic to identify underserved areas for testing, leading to targeted interventions that improved access to care.

This shift raises broader concerns about the future of public health leadership as USAID funding cuts jeopardize ongoing efforts to maintain progress in improving global health security and supporting recipient countries to become more self-sufficient. The next generation of public health professionals must be prepared to navigate a system that depends less on U.S. government funding and more on regional leadership, public-private partnerships and alternative financing models.

As the U.S. shifts its foreign assistance approach, other global health partners

are attempting to fill gaps.

However, taken together, they are unlikely to fully replace the resources and technical assistance the U.S. has historically provided.

With USAID’s cuts taking effect, the consequences are already unfolding. The key question now is: What comes next for U.S. foreign aid and its role in global health? U.S. global health leadership has withstood past funding challenges and political shifts, and continuing this leadership is in our national interest. Strategic investment in global health not only saves lives abroad but also strengthens economic opportunities for American farmers and businesses, ensures stability in key regions and reduces the spread of infectious diseases that can impact U.S. citizens.

Now is the time to reinforce — not abandon — our role in global health. Smart investments in foreign assistance protect American economic interests, prevent costly global health crises and ensure that the U.S. remains the leader — not the follower — on the world stage.

The world is watching how the U.S. responds to these challenges. New Orleans has a long and distinguished history of building capacity in the health sector of low- and middle-income countries, driving innovation, collaboration and training future professionals. To uphold this legacy, Congress must act now — sustaining investment, strengthening partnerships and equipping the next generation of health professionals to tackle future challenges.

COMMENTARY ROOM FOR DEBATE FEDERAL CUTS

As the effect of President Donald Trump’s cuts to government programs and the federal workforce begin to be felt across the country, some wonder whether support for his policies will start to wane. At some recent town halls, Republican lawmakers have faced fierce questioning from constituents about the cuts. Still, the president retains strong support among a large swath of the country, particularly young men. Will the president be able to retain his popularity even amid economic uncertainty or will opposition grow if his policies don’t produce results quickly? Here are two perspectives:

ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO By MARK SCHIEFELBEIN

Demonstrators rally in support of federal workers recently outside of the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington.

Why Gen Z men love When policy proposals Trump’s running riot run into harsh realities Many Americans are disturbed by President Donald Trump’s trampling of the Constitution and nuking of the federal government. But one group seems to love what Trump is doing: young men.

New survey data show that support for Trump among this demographic has surged since the election.

In November, men ages 18 to 29 voted for Trump by Catherine a 14-point margin (56% to Rampell 42%). It was the first time a GOP presidential candidate claimed an outright majority of the group since 1988 (when George H.W. Bush swept most age and gender combinations in a landslide victory, unlike Trump’s slim popular-vote win).

Democrats have conducted many postmortems since November examining how they could reclaim the Gen Z “bro vote.”

But they haven’t stemmed the losses so far.

In a recent YouGov survey, young men gave Trump a “net favorability” rating (the share of who approve of Trump’s performance as president minus those who don’t) of +20. The numbers are noisy week to week, because this is a small subset of the overall population. But even monthly trends with larger sample sizes show Trump comfortably above water among young men since the election.

Older men like Trump on net, too, though young men’s approval has been stronger on average over the past few months.

Young men have been up for grabs politically for years, argues Richard B. Reeves, president of the American Institute for Boys and Men. Endless white papers and activist groups have tackled the challenges facing girls and women. Social movements have championed feminist causes (the Women’s March, #MeToo). Meanwhile the economic, social and psychological problems affecting men have been largely neglected — sometimes even mocked — by progressives.

“A lot of young men had the sense that the Democrats didn’t see them as having problems,” Reeves said. “They saw them as being the problem.”

Yet in many ways, men are faring worse than their female peers. Young men have lower academic achievement. They’re more likely to still live with their parents.

They suffer more deaths caused by opioid overdoses and suicide. Younger White men from low-income households in particular

are worse off than their fathers on most economic and social measures.

Smartphones, which enable consumers to sort into their own polarized echo chambers, might help explain why a political gender divide appears to be emerging among youths globally, says scholar Alice Evans.

She notes that young women worldwide have also become much more progressive over time, which has in turn fed a backlash that alt-right podcasters and influencers tap into.

What about Trump’s policy choices since coming into office?

Some seem tailored to appeal to stereotypical right-wing bros, such as his war on diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

The administration has also advocated on behalf of self-proclaimed “misogynist” influencer Andrew Tate, who faces criminal charges in Romania related to human trafficking, sexual misconduct and money laundering.

On other Trump moves, the verdict is still out. The most recent monthly YouGov data show a dip in young men’s net approval for the president, though it’s still positive. A separate Post-Ipsos survey instead finds young men are roughly neutral on the president now.

On some level, the very things that disturb fussy establishment pundits like me — Trump’s strongman tendencies; his propensity to arbitrarily fire people and break stuff without regard to consequences — might appeal most to young male populists frustrated by a system they believe has abandoned them. These actions are certainly consistent with the “high-energy, edgy, almost transgressive” rhetoric that won young male voters over in November, Reeves surmises.

On the other hand, outcomes presumably matter, regardless of age and gender. If Trump’s agenda results in, say, more economic stress (higher prices, fewer jobs) and less access to mental health or substanceabuse care — both outcomes that seem likely — young men will suffer, too. Maybe their affection for Trump will curdle.

Ultimately, the key to winning young men back — whether you’re a politician, concerned parent or potential partner — is to stop “pathologizing” them, Reeves admonishes. Instead, start listening.

“Trump’s honeymoon is over,” headlines the Washington Post. “At Testy Town Halls, Republicans Take Heat for Trump’s Bold Moves,” reports the Wall Street Journal. Certainly, the president’s honeymoon is not over with his loyal supporters; most Republican lawmakers remain so intimidated that they have approved all of his cabinet Steve choices, including those who Roberts are undeniably unqualified.

But there are small signs of a gathering backlash against the new president. In five recent national polls, his approval rating stayed stuck between 44% and 47% — not a majority in any of them.

And as the news site Puck reports, “Republican House members scattered home to their districts and faced constituents’ uncorked fury over the efforts of Elon Musk and Donald Trump to seize the power of the purse from Congress.”

As result, a few GOP dissenters are starting to emerge. “It requires speaking out. It requires saying, ‘That violates the law. That violates the authorities of the executive,’ ” asserted Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.

Trump’s looming problems are rooted in this plain fact: He has sold two myths to the American people — told two lies so often that his fervent acolytes have embraced them. But those myths are now running into reality.

The first myth is summed up in the banners that appeared at his campaign rallies: “Trump Will Fix It.” Indeed, he often promised that the country’s problems were so simple that he’d start improving things on “day one.” But that’s a totally impossible standard, especially regarding the issues that voters care most about: inflation and the cost of gas and groceries.

Since the new political season premiered last month, Trump has successfully launched his reality TV series, “The President.” In various episodes, he’s driven around the Daytona racetrack, waved at the Super Bowl and promoted a fake magazine cover that features him wearing a crown.

Cameras have documented his armed agents rounding up undocumented immigrants. “The second Trump administration is using imagery to project an air of authority and invincibility,” wrote The New York Times TV critic James Poniewozik.

Here’s the problem: This is all a show, a

performance. Despite his promises to fix it, Trump hasn’t done anything about inflation because he can’t. No president has any real power to affect prices, as Joe Biden discovered painfully.

In fact, inflation rose by half a point in January. Gasoline has dropped from its peak, but it remains well over $3 a gallon.

Don’t even mention eggs, now averaging almost $5 a dozen. And Trump’s bluster about imposing tariffs on imported goods has only aggravated consumer anxiety.

No wonder 62% of voters told CNN that Trump was not doing enough to curb inflation, about the same number that called inflation a “very big problem” in a new Pew poll.

“For many Americans,” summarized Barron’s, “the Trump administration’s recent policy changes have heightened uncertainties about the economic outlook.”

The second myth Trump keeps repeating is that government programs only benefit other people — mainly the undeserving poor, like the “welfare queens” demonized

by Ronald Reagan. Accordingly, billions of dollars in “waste, fraud and abuse” could be slashed from the federal budget without hurting hard-working, tax-paying Trump voters.

But the truth is that every American community, every family, is affected by government programs all the time. Veterans benefits and farm supports, subsidies for mass transit and school lunches, inspectors who protect wetlands and wildlife, regulators who enforce rules promoting clean water and safe workplaces and effective drugs — the list is endless.

If Republicans adopt a budget mandating reductions in programs like Medicaid and food stamps to finance tax breaks for the rich, Trump’s political problems will only get worse. As one Republican operative told Puck, Trump’s slash-and-burn crusade, spearheaded by his billionaire buddy Elon Musk, has “energized Republicans, but it also woke Democrats up when they were quite depressed.”

Trump has always been a brilliant TV performer, a “ratings magnet,” as he likes to boast. But as president, he has to produce tangible results, not just transitory reactions. And when the myths he spreads encounter reality, reality will always prevail.

Tulane falls in yet another road loss to ECU

SEC TOURNAMENT L S U V S . T B D • 7: 3 0 P. M . F R I D A y • S E C N E T W O R K

BY GUERRY SMITH Contributing writer

Tulane coach Ron Hunter’s personal house of horrors gave him and his team the heebiejeebies again.

With a chance to clinch a double bye in the American Athletic Conference, the Green Wave fell behind East Carolina by 17 points in the first five-and-a-half minutes and never came closer than seven the rest of the way, falling 73-64 on Thursday night at Williams Arena.

Tulane (17-13, 11-6), which is 0-6 there under Hunter with five defeats by nine points or more, still can get that double bye to the quarterfinals and the fourth seed by beating UAB at home on Sunday or if East Carolina (18-12, 10-7) loses at Florida Atlantic on the same day.

The Pirates, who started four seniors, played with more poise than the Wave, which is senior-less. It was East Carolina’s sixth win in seven games — the lone loss was at Tulane two weeks ago — and earned it double-digit league victories for the first time since 197475 in the Southern Conference.

Inside the process that ‘unlocked’ LSU guard Williams’ game

BY REED DARCEY Staff writer GREENVILLE, S.C. — Maybe three or four times a month, Derrick Parker will start his car at 2 a.m. A long, dark drive awaits the Shreveport-based basketball trainer on these nights, the ones in which he finds himself racing the sunrise to Baton Rouge.

‘Firestarter’ Ballard takes final bow in the PMAC

BY SCOTT RABALAIS

There, Mikaylah Williams waits for him. She wants to squeeze in an early-morning workout, and she wants the trainers who know her best to run her through it. These days, those requests pull Parker and his colleague Tyrone Hamilton out of bed and onto Interstate 49, the artery that connects Williams to her Bossier City roots.

“It’s constant,” Parker said. “It never stops.”

But don’t get it twisted: Parker is glad to take on those difficult drives and facilitate that extra work. Especially since it’s all starting to pay off.

The LSU women’s basketball team will likely soon host NCAA Tournament games again, regardless of what happens after its Southeastern Conference Tournament quarterfinal game tips off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday (SEC Network). The No. 3-seeded Tigers almost certainly wouldn’t be in that position had

Williams not worked to elevate her game between her freshman and sophomore seasons.

Last year, the prized recruit torched most of LSU’s nonconference competition. Then her scoring ebbed and flowed through SEC play.

In those games, she notched at least 20 points as many times (three) as she chipped in fewer than five.

Now Williams is a more consistent force. Coach Kim Mulkey has tossed her the keys to LSU’s offense in tight

games, and the star sophomore has driven the Tigers to wins. She improvised a free-throw line jumper that forced overtime against Stanford. She devised a 3-pointer that sealed a victory over Oklahoma.

Then she either scored or assisted on more than half of the second-half field goals LSU converted to beat Kentucky, orchestrating an important come-from-behind road win.

On the LSU gymnastics team they’re called “firestarters,” those gymnasts who usually lead off an event and try to set a tone with their energy, their emotion and, of course, their score.

No one on the Tigers’ roster strikes a match better than Sierra Ballard.

While the spotlight on LSU’s roster typically falls on high-profile all-arounders like NCAA champion Haleigh ä Georgia Bryant, 2024 Olympian at LSU 7:30 P.M. Aleah Finnegan and freshman sensation Kailin Chio, FRIDAy, SECN+ specialists like Ballard fill a vital role. She does two events — balance beam and floor — trying to post a big score or, frequently, absorbing a lower score from judges who are saving the potentially higher marks for the rest of the lineup.

“She’s so passionate and full of life,” said LSU coach Jay Clark, who also refers to Ballard as the team’s “cruise director” because she steers the energy of the entire team.

“She’s so desirous of doing the right thing.

It’s rare to be around.”

Rarer all the time.

Evans’ focus on pitching transformed his career

BY KOKI RILEY Staff writer

STAFF FILE PHOTO By MICHAEL JOHNSON

LSU pitcher Casan Evans delivers a pitch at a fall scrimmage on Oct. 27 at Alex Box Stadium. Evans, who joined LSU as a twoway player, has focused solely on pitching and his decision has paid off.

Casan Evans had a decision to make.

As an incoming freshman from St. Pius X High in Houston, Evans arrived at LSU as a two-way player and spent the first few weeks in the fall as a hitter and a pitcher. Then, he made a choice.

He’d be a pitcher only. Hitting would go to the wayside.

“I was hitting in the games and everything, and I just saw that pitching was taking off,” Evans said. “So I was like, might as well just focus in on this and get prepared for the season with one thing, rather than do both.”

Evans’ decision has already paid off.

Through three weekends, he’s been LSU’s best relief pitcher. He’s surrendered three hits and no runs in nine innings while striking out over half of the batters he’s faced. He also has two saves and was named the Co-SEC Freshman of the Week on Monday.

He’ll spearhead the Tigers’ bullpen as

it returns home for this weekend’s threegame series with North Alabama beginning on Friday (6:30 p.m., SEC Network+).

“Similarly to Paul Skenes or to (Gavin) Guidry, by only focusing on pitching, both those guys made real positive jumps,” LSU coach Jay Johnson said before the preseason started. “And that happened this fall (with Evans).

“There was an immediate jump.”

Evans shifting his focus to the mound was not something anyone forced him to do. It was a decision he made for himself.

Johnson was prepared to let him continue to hit and pitch. All he told Evans was that he needed to choose one path by his junior year to help him prepare for the MLB Draft.

But Evans knew he’d reap more of the benefits if he decided to focus on one side

Montiel looks to extend hot start Wave reliever credits improvement to pitching coach

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida quarterback DJ Lagway will be “limited in throwing activities” during spring practice, coach Billy Napier said Thursday.

Napier also said Lagway was dealing with a lower-body injury, but the coach provided few details other than saying the quarterback didn’t have any offseason surgery.

Lagway missed a game last November while recovering from a strained left hamstring he suffered against Georgia.

But he started every game after, including Florida’s bowl victory against Tulane in December.

Lagway completed 60% of his passes for 1,915 yards, with 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions as a freshman last season.

Tulane left-handed pitcher Tayler Montiel struck out the only Long Beach State batter he faced Monday to help set up the Wave for a win.

ä North Dakota State at Tulane, repeatable every pitch,” he said. ing for the MCAT occupies much

6:30 P.M. FRIDAy, ESPN+

“The thing I love about him is he’s honest with himself, what he needs to get better at, what he needs to do and now you’re seeing the talent come to fruition,” Uhlman said. “It’s hard to find left-handers that are throwing 94 and 95 miles per hour with a real breaking ball. It’s just a matter of could he harness it. It’s taken longer than all of us wanted, but sometimes that’s how the game is.”

Instead of trying to pitch his way out of his funk, Montiel skipped summer league baseball in 2024 to work on his mechanics.

“I went home and put on a lot of weight and worked on my delivery and getting it to where it’s

“I’ve put myself in a spot now that when I go out there, I’m not searching for anything. I know what my mechanics feel like, Just being repeatable in my delivery is the main thing.”

For the first time, his on-field exploits are equaling his work in the classroom.

A pre-med major who earned American Athletic Conference All-Academic team honors in 2023, he will take his Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) on April 5 before a night home game against Rice.

Tulane’s academic reputation was a significant factor when he transferred from Mississippi State after redshirting there as a freshman.

A lighter load may be helping Montiel as well. Although study-

of his time, he is taking only four hours of classes after two rigorous years and will be freed up even more for the back half of the season following the test.

“April 6 will be a new world,” he said.

His baseball universe already is totally different. He says he gained a little confidence with two clean appearances late in blowout losses during the Corvalis (Oregon) regional last spring.

On Monday, though, the coaches trusted him in the highest leverage situation possible against Long Beach State, when one pitching sequence made the difference between victory or defeat.

“I have a lot more confidence right now,” he said. “I know every time I go out there, I’m giving us the best chance to win.”

Pelicans fall apart in third quarter, lose to Rockets

BY ROD WALKER Staff writer

The New Orleans Pelicans didn’t have Zion Williamson the first two times they played the Houston Rockets this season.

They had Williamson this time and it still didn’t matter.

Williamson had an off night and the Pelicans had an off third quarter, all leading to a 109-97 loss to the Rockets Thursday night in Smoothie King Center.

Trey Murphy was one of the lone bright spots for the Pelicans, finishing with 26 points and five rebounds.

It wasn’t nearly enough in a game that swung when the Pelicans collapsed in the second half.

The Pelicans got outscored 33-15 in the third quarter. The 15 points tied for the fewest the Pels have scored in a third quarter all season.

Williamson finished with 20 points, but made just 5 of 15 shots from the floor. He also had 10 rebounds and three assists.

The Pelicans (17-46) dropped to 0-3 against the Rockets this season. The two teams play for the final time Saturday in Houston’s

LSU junior right-handed pitcher Gavin Guidry will “probably” be unavailable to pitch this weekend, coach Jay Johnson said Wednesday.

Guidry has been dealing with a mid-body injury that has kept him out the past two weekends. He has not to pitched yet this season.

“We’ve made some good strides,” Johnson said, “but what I don’t want to do is have a setback that’s going to lengthen getting him out there.”

Johnson hopes Guidry can return to the mound next week when LSU opens Southeastern Conference play with Missouri at Alex Box Stadium. The injury he’s been dealing with is not arm related, but Johnson said last week that he thought Guidry would be back pitching this week.

Florida QB Lagway is limited during practice

BY GUERRY SMITH Nearly untouchable through his first six appearances, reliever Tayler Montiel knows he owes his career to Tulane pitching coach Anthony Izzio.

Montiel, a redshirt junior lefthander who did next to nothing good in his first two years with the Green Wave after transferring from Mississippi State, capped off his hot start with a massive strikeout on Monday against the only Long Beach State batter he faced.

The Dirtbags had the tying run on third base and the winning run on first with no outs in the ninth inning after scoring twice to pull within 3-2. After throwing five consecutive fastballs, Montiel got right-handed pinch hitter Connor Charpiot to swing over a nasty 2-2 slider before closer Michael Lombardi finished the job with two more strikeouts.

“I should try to throw it like that every time,” Montiel said. “That’s the goal. If it looks like that, it’s good.”

Everything about Montiel’s pitching has been good this year as the Green Wave (9-3) gets ready to host North Dakota State (1-11) in a weekend series beginning Friday at 6:30 p.m.

He has allowed two hits and zero runs while striking out 10 in 51/3 innings over six appearances — a stark contrast to 2023 and 2024, when he had fat ERAs of 10.20 and 10.24 in 25 forgettable outings.

“There’s not many pitching coaches in the country that would still have me on their staff after two years of definitely not doing it,” he said. “I was just bad, but (Izzio) had confidence in me. He’s always pushing me. He wants to see me get in the games and is just always positive with me. I really owe him everything for keeping me around until now.”

Coach Jay Uhlman admitted Montiel was not guaranteed a roster spot this season until he earned it with his performance in the fall.

The ability that took him to Mississippi State out of Brentwood Academy in Tennessee was there, but it rarely materialized in games.

Self-awareness saved him.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Trey Murphy III grabs a rebound from Houston Rockets forward Amen Thompson on Thursay at the Smoothie King Center.

Toyota Center. The Pelicans’ two December losses to the Rockets were by double digits (20 points and 17 points). Houston’s Jalen Green scored 34 points in the first meeting and 30 in the second, combing to make 10 of 21 3-point-

ers in those two games.

“We’ve got to get to him,” Willie Green said before Thursday’s game. “If you allow him to play with a lack of physicality (on him), he is going to score in bunches. We haven’t done a great job of guard-

ing him the last couple times we’ve played him, so tonight it’ll definitely be an emphasis on making sure we’re physical with him and making him take tough shots.

And not allowing him to come down in transition and tee up 3’s on us. It’s going to be a collective effort.”

Jalen Green was held to just three points in the first half and finished with just nine points this time around. His teammates more than picked up the slack though.

The Pelicans led 59-56 at halftime, thanks in part to Murphy scoring 21 points through the first two quarters.

The Pelicans led by as many as 11 in the first half after going on an 8-0 run. Kelly Olynyk picked up two quick fouls in the opening minute of the second half (his fourth of the game) and had to sit.

The Pels unraveled in the quarter and trailed 89-74 heading into the fourth quarter.

The Rockets (38-25) snapped an 8-game road losing streak. Their last road win before Thursday came on Jan. 28 against the Atlanta Hawks.

CJ McCollum finished with 13 points and Yves Missi scored 10.

AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn fired women’s basketball coach Johnnie Harris on Thursday, one day after the Tigers lost to Florida 60-50 in the first round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament.

Harris had gone 58-63 in four seasons. Auburn earned its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2019 last season, but the Tigers followed that up by going 12-18 overall and 3-13 in SEC competition this year.

Auburn’s SEC Tournament defeat marked its seventh consecutive loss. The Tigers finished the regular season in a four-way tie for last place in the SEC with Missouri, Texas A&M and Arkansas.

She went 10-18 her debut season at Auburn, which had gone 5-19 the year before her arrival.

Los Angeles release LB Bosa after 9 seasons

The Los Angeles Chargers released Joey Bosa on Wednesday night, ending the linebacker’s nine-season tenure with the franchise.

The move, which came less than a week before the start of the new league year, was expected due to Bosa’s large salary cap number and injury history. Bosa had a cap number of $36.47 million for the 2025 season, but the Chargers will save $25.36 million in cap space.

Bosa was the third overall pick by the Chargers in the 2016 NFL draft and was the last player on the roster from when the team played in San Diego.

He signed a five-year extension worth $135 million in 2020 that made him the league’s highestpaid defensive player at the time.

McNeese State fires women’s coach Kennedy

McNeese State athletic director Heath Schroyer announced Thursday that the university will not renew the contract of women’s basketball coach Lynn Kennedy.

Kennedy, whose team finished 10-21 and 5-15 in the Southland Conference this season, just completed the fourth season.

“I really appreciate coach Kennedy’s efforts in leading our women’s basketball program over the last four years. He’s a good man and I wish him nothing but the best moving forward,” Schroyer said.

A search for the next head coach will begin immediately.

Kennedy signed a three-year deal after coming from Portland State on March 30, 2021.

McNeese hosts the SLC tournament, which starts for the women on Monday.

Tigers not slowing down LSU hiring Williams ahead of weekend series as defensive line coach ä South Alabama at LSU.

BY JIM KLEINPETER Contributing writer

4 P.M. FRIDAy, SECN+

The No. 4 LSU softball team is picking up steam with conference play around the corner. Only the weather seems to be slowing the Tigers down.

The schedule for this weekend’s LSU Round Robin has been adjusted for expected rain Saturday.

The Tigers will play a doubleheader with South Alabama Friday at 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. with a single game against Minnesota Saturday at 6 p.m. and the Gophers again Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

The Tigers (19-1) have averaged 8.2 runs and 9.6 hits per game, reaching double figures in hits seven times and getting production up and down the lineup.

Third baseman and leadoff hitter Danieca Coffey leads the team and is fourth in the SEC with a .527 batting average. Her .649 on base percentage has helped her score a team-best 23 runs. She’s also third in RBIs with 20.

Freshman first baseman

Tori Edwards slugged two homers in Wednesday’s win against UL-Monroe. She’s batting .458 with seven homers and 32 RBIs, leading the team in both categories.

“We’re growing together,” Edwards said after her two three-run homers vs. ULM. “I love how our team is getting it done from bunts, to doubles to homers and stealing bases. I love how versatile our team is and how everyone plays a part.”

The Tigers have three other starters batting above .400: second baseman Sierra Daniel (.481), catcher Maci Bergeron (.453) and left fielder Jadyn Laneaux (.425).

Sydney Berzon continues to lead the pitchers with a 7-0 record and a 1.02 earned run average.

Although South Alabama and Minnesota aren’t ranked, both have strong traditions in the sport.

“We have two tough opponents,” LSU coach Beth Torina said. “What I said to

the team post game (Wednesday) ‘maybe they don’t have an SEC patch on their shoulders, but those two are really good teams, solid and historically good that will both finish in the top of their leagues.’ We needed a solid day of prep and play our best game all weekend long.”

South Alabama (11-10) has lost four of its last five games and is led at the plate

by Sidney Lee with a .364 average while first baseman Gabby Stagner is batting .357 with team bests of eight home runs and 23 RBIs. Minnesota (9-10), made 10 NCAA Tournament appearances from 2013-23 and beat LSU in a 2019 super regional to reach the Women’s College World Series. The Jaguars’ top pitcher is Ryley Harrison with a 3-3 record and 3.98 ERA. Gophers right fielder Nani Valencia is batting .419 with four home runs and nine RBIs while catcher Taylor Krapf is hitting .304 with seven homers and 16 RBIs. Sydney Schwartz is tops in the circle with a 2-6 record and a 3.05 ERA.

hit 95 degrees.

Inside, a talent scout named Michael Simmons videoed this odd-looking exercise, capturing the wince that crossed Williams’ face as she fought the resistance bands. They threw one of her jumps off kilter. The next few were more vertical.

What exactly was she doing?

“Focusing on balance,” Beacham said.

When Beacham first met Williams about three years ago, her shooting mechanics were already flawless. The work he’s since done with her, he said, was crafted to make sure she kept her form consistent and never lost her balance. This summer, he also used his 6-foot5, 200-pound frame to help her perfect the timing of her moves and the efficiency of her steps, ensuring she wouldn’t waste movement or misuse her dribbles.

“When I got with her this summer,” Beacham said, “it was talking about the efficiency in her steps. So, when she takes a dribble, I want her to cover ground with her first step, move the defender with the first step.

So, if you can move the defender with the first step, then it will allow you to get off a move, get off a shot in less dribbles.”

That emphasis has translated to the court. If you look back at LSU’s Jan. 30 win over Oklahoma, watch all 12 shots that Williams drained and count the dribbles she used to create those looks, you’ll end up with only around 25.

That night, Williams scored 37 points — a season-high.

And her shooting form on the seventh and final 3-pointer she nailed — a game-sealing pull-up off a screen set near the top of the key — looked just like it did on her first, a transition shot she

stepped into on the left wing early in the second quarter.  Proximity to home was one of the reasons Williams signed with LSU. Her family lives only three or four hours north of Baton Rouge, and so do Parker and Hamilton, the two trainers who helped the Bossier City star harness her talent before she was a top recruit, then add elements to her game by the time her sophomore year began.

Williams’ most recent work, Parker said, was as much mental as it was physical. She wanted to strengthen her emotional maturity, an improvement that arose from an added emphasis on conditioning.

“I think she’s more confident,” Mulkey said on Sunday. “What I feel bad about, as her coach, is I’m having to ask her to play multiple positions, and I just don’t think that that’s fair. But she takes it like a trooper, and she does whatever you ask her to do.

She’s just a baller.”

When Mulkey wants to throw out a smaller lineup, she’ll slide Williams down near the block, stationing her next to Aneesah Morrow in the LSU frontcourt.

The sophomore can play there because she’s comfortable in the post, and she can use those kinds of touches to create open shots either for herself or her teammates.

When the Tigers’ offense gets stuck, Williams can run the point. At that position, she’ll fire passes through tight windows. She’ll also dribble around screens, navigating different kinds of coverages in search of open space.

“I think those are all parts of our game that were there,” her father, Patrick Williams, said.

LSU

Continued from page 1C On Tuesday, the league revealed that its coaches had voted Williams onto the All-SEC first team. That recognition is a nod to her maturation. In the offseason, she slowed down the game and accelerated her development, unlocking the skills she needs to fill all four positions the Tigers have asked her to play this season, while also transforming into a more efficient scorer.

Williams has shot 47% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc since January. Those rates are much higher than they were last year, when she converted 43% of her field goals and just 29% of her 3-pointers.

Thanks to those improvements, she’s elevated her scoring average from 12.1 points per game to 18.4.

In its first postseason action, LSU will need Williams to provide that scoring output — and likely more. Flau’jae Johnson (shin) will sit the SEC Tournament, a fact that diminishes the Tigers’ hopes of taking the crown but expands Williams’ chances of using the tools she added to her game over the offseason.

“We just wanted to make sure that she unlocked her whole game coming into this year,” Parker said. “So that was the main thing.”  Williams grabbed one end of yellow rubber resistance bands, held it above her head and jumped. A foot to her left, a trainer named Donny Beacham held the other end tight, creating tension designed to pull his trainee off balance.

BY WILSON ALEXANDER Staff writer

LSU has targeted Kyle Williams to be its next defensive line coach, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told The Advocate.

A deal had not been finalized as of Thursday afternoon, sources said, but the expectation was Williams would be hired. LSU begins spring practice Saturday.

Williams, a Ruston native, will coach LSU’s defensive tackles, and Kevin Peoples will continue to coach the defensive ends. Williams has never coached at the college level.

Williams played at LSU from 2002-05, helping win the 2003 national championship. He appeared in 46 games and started 33 times at defensive tackle.

Williams was a two-time All-SEC selection and an All-American as a senior.

After his LSU career, Williams played for 13 seasons with the Buffalo Bills. He was a six-time Pro Bowler who finished his career with 48 1/ 2 sacks and 103 tackles for loss.

Williams spent the past five years as the defensive coordinator at Ruston High, his alma mater, before stepping down in January. Ruston held opponents to 15.2 points per game on the way to winning the 2023 state championship.

LSU had to find a defensive line coach after Bo Davis

PITCHING

Continued from page 1C of the ball sooner. An injury in high school helped him realize the perks of being a pitcher.

“That happening made me realize that doing one thing is a lot easier than doing both,” Evans said.

Johnson knew he was athletic enough to be a positional player, but he had a feeling his pitching career would take off once he stuck to just that.

“You can see how good he is on a mound,” Johnson said last Thursday. “And when you’re that good on a mound, a coach is usually going to let you do whatever you want to do.”

By just pitching, Evans saw his velocity jump up to 99 mph in the fall. His fastball has mostly been in mid 90s since the start of the season, but it reached 98 mph on opening day.

He’s paired that improved velocity with a slider and a changeup. The slider, in particular, has been a point of emphasis.

It was a pitch he had never thrown until he arrived at LSU. Instead, he had a curveball in high school.

LSU defensive tackle Kyle Williams is pumped up after his tackle behind the line in a game against Arkansas on Nov. 25, 2005, at Tiger Stadium. LSU has targeted Williams to be its next defensive line coach. left after one season for the same job with the New Orleans Saints. Davis was set to make $1.35 million this year, according to his contract.

LSU considered multiple candidates. Florida defensive line coach Gerald Chatman turned down the job, according to The Athletic.

Chatman had worked as an LSU defensive analyst twice and served as interim defensive line coach during spring practice in 2023.

Over the past decade, LSU has gone through a high rate of turnover with its defensive line coaches.

It will now have a new coach at the position for the sixth straight season.

In four years at LSU, head coach Brian Kelly has never had the same defensive line coach for two consecutive years.

LSU thought it found stability when it hired Davis, but it had to search for a defensive line coach again when he left for the Saints.

In Williams, the Tigers may have another former player who can provide continuity for the first time in years.

Williams will inherit a young group of defensive tackles headlined by sophomores Ahmad Breaux and Dominick McKinley. LSU also has sixth-year senior Jacobian Guillory, who is recovering from a torn Achilles, redshirt junior Shone Washington and five new underclassmen. Williams coached Breaux at Ruston High.

As LSU tries to reach the College Football Playoff for the first time under Kelly next season, Williams will have to develop them.

“It’s high school, so I could get away with the curveball,” Evans said.

“It was just big and loopy.

And I feel like if I threw that here, it would just get destroyed.”

The fastball and changeup were already calling card pitches, but the new breaking ball has quickly become a strong offering for Evans. On Wednesday against Dallas Baptist, he threw the slider four times and got two swings and misses and a called strike, according to Baseball Savant.

Playing catch with righthanded junior Anthony Eyanson and fellow freshman right-hander Mavrick Rizy before games has helped him learn how to throw the pitch.

“We’ve been working on it pretty much all fall, and kind of toning it in right now,” Evans said. “So just being able to throw that for a lot more strikes, and we’re going to try and throw it harder later in the season.”

Evans’ cue to throw it effectively is to release it out in front and flick his wrist at the end of his delivery. That’s enabled him to throw the pitch for more strikes while generating greater velocity and later

break.

Anytime he shapes the pitch early in his release — with the ball behind his head — it pops out of his hand and often winds up becoming a ball.

“Or if it was a strike, the hitters would be able to see it early,” Evans said.

Evans may have decided to stop hitting, but he still misses stepping into the batter’s box. It was something he’d been doing for his entire life.

And it wasn’t like he was a bad positional player. He was the No. 19 shortstop in the nation coming out of high school, according to Perfect Game.

“He’s such a good athlete.

He’s such a good competitor,” Johnson said. “I mean, you could easily see how he could be an infielder and a position player, and he’s twitchy and athletic.”

But his rise on the mound may have not been possible if he hadn’t decided to cut bait on his career as a positional player.

“It’s just made life so much easier, being able to focus on one thing and not trying to do both,” Evans said. “... It’s hard to explain.”

THE VARSITY ZONE

Woodlawn handles Karr in semifinals Despite loss, Cougars have bright future with ‘good group returning

BY CHRISTOPHER DABE

Staff writer

Edna Karr began a girls basketball state semifinal game with three sophomores in the starting lineup.

Included among those players was 5-foot-8 guard Cass Antoine, the leading scorer on a team that reached the playoffs with a No. 2 seed.

With a player like Antoine, Karr has good reason to think it could make a return trip to Hammond next year.

“We do have a good group coming back,” coach Carl Antoine said.

“I feel like we’re going to be competitive.”

Perhaps with some lessons learned from what happened Thursday. Woodlawn-Baton Rouge junior Aaliyah Gaddis scored a season-best 23 points as the thirdseeded Panthers routed Karr 61-43 in an LHSAA Division I select semifinal at University Center in Hammond.

Woodlawn (26-6) never trailed as led by 10 points after the first

quarter and by 20 points midway through the third. Karr (28-5) reduced that lead to 10 in the fourth but could draw no closer.

The 6-foot-1 Gaddis showed her range on offense as she scored several points in the paint and made two 3-pointers. She had six rebounds, four steals and three blocked shots in the breakout performance for the budding star.

“I always knew she could do this,” Woodlawn coach Alicia Dedeaux said. “And I’m glad she waited to turn it on today.”

UL signee Amijah Price had 13 points with five assists and seven steals. Junior guard Mariah Scott had 12 points for the Panthers.

The win advanced Woodlawn to the state final for the second year in a row. The experienced Panthers will face No. 4 Huntington, which beat John Curtis in the other semifinal.

Antoine did her part for Karr with 25 points on 9 of 17 shooting.

She scored 16 of Karr’s first 19 points through two-plus quarters but accounted for 13 of the team’s 31 turnovers.

The Karr players “didn’t play like ourselves,” Carl Antoine said, adding that he “didn’t know if it was the atmosphere, but it was a lot of the girls’ first time being here. I just think that kind of threw us off.”

Other top sophomores for Karr include guard Azelyah Henderson and forward Travion Stewart.

The game played out far differently than when the teams met at a holiday tournament in December and Woodlawn won by three points.

Karr reached the state tournament with heavy contributions from seniors Sanaa Bean, a 6-foot4 Texas-San Antonio signee, guard Jaylynn Recasner and forward Samiya Clayton.

Bean, who had five points and 11 rebounds in the semifinal, played one season at Karr after she transferred from Newman.

“She really showed us what a senior was and what basketball should be like,” Henderson said.

“Sanaa is the heart of our team.”

Carl Antoine said the impact Bean had on the program could

Thriller in Hammond

Huntington edges Curtis in game after topsy-turvy final 90 seconds

Staff writer

With eight lead changes in the fourth quarter, and five in the final 90 seconds, John Curtis and Huntington played to a thrilling finish in their LHSAA Division I select girls basketball state semifinal Thursday at the University Center in Hammond.

The game featured two collegesigned standouts with Imani Daniel of Curtis set to play for UL and Carley Hamilton of Huntington bound for Southern Miss.

For three quarters, those two carried most of the scoring load for their teams. But over the final stretch, the other players stepped up.

With the score tied and two seconds remaining, Huntington junior Kyndal Graham calmly sank two free throws for a 61-59 lead. And with no timeouts remining, Curtis quickly moved the ball up beyond midcourt but failed to get off a final shot before the buzzer.

The loss kept Curtis from reaching the state final for the first time since it began a run of reaching the final eight years in a row. The Patriots won seven championships during that stretch, including last season’s triumph with Daniel selected as the outstanding player.

“The way that the game went was not expected,” Curtis coach

TULANE

Continued from page 1C “This is like Wichita State with such a great environment, and we’re not mature enough that we can handle this,” Hunter said. “All I kept saying was you can’t come to East Carolina and get off to a bad start.”

Asher Woods paced Tulane with 21 points on eight-of-13 shooting, his highest total in two years with the Wave and one off his best as a freshman at VMI. Rowan Brumbaugh added 13 points but committed a season-high five turnovers, includ-

carry beyond her one season on the court.

“She came in and the girls understood what working hard is,” Carl Antoine said. “She brought a different aspect to practice, being that she played on a high level

with the AAU programs as well.

She brought that to practice, so the girls saw the seriousness and they attached themselves to that.”

Huntington won 61-59.

Karr guard Cass Antoine drives past Woodlawn guards Zyriah Williams, center, and Taigan Heck during their Division I select semifinal game on Thursday in Hammond. Woodlawn won 61-43.

Alendra Brown said. “I think the expectation was that we win at the end of the game.

“I think the girls played extremely well. They did all they could do, and this loss does not define our success this season. We’ll be back next year.”

Curtis had the ball with the score tied and a chance to set up the winning shot. Huntington sophomore Kaylee Dupree blocked a shot from near the basket and a scramble for the rebound resulted in a jump ball that gave Huntington possession with 3.7 seconds left.

But with Curtis in the bonus, a foul on the inbounds pass put Graham on the free-throw line with two seconds left. She made the first shot, took a deep breath and calmly made the second.

“When I was going to the line, I know that my coach told me, ‘Free throws win championships,’ ” Graham said. “It’s what I’m built for.

This is what we do every day.”

The win advanced Huntington (19-6) to the state final for just the second time during its run of five state appearances over the past six seasons.

Hamilton scored 27 points for Huntington. She was 11 of 11 from the free-throw line and had eight rebounds.

“This felt like a state championship game, honestly,” Huntington

coach Brian Shyne said. “Both teams balled out. We’ve been talking about this moment this whole season.”

Daniel scored 21 points for Curtis (18-5) but fouled out with more than two minutes remaining. She made two 3-pointers in the first half, including one at the buzzer that put the Patriots ahead by seven points.

Junior Bailey Timmons scored all but six of her 19 points in the second half, at one point completing a four-point play that tied the score in the third quarter. She later made a 3 from the left corner that put Curtis ahead 44-41 early in the fourth.

Freshman Jayla Albert, with 11 points, completed a three-point play that put Curtis ahead 59-57 with 25.8 seconds left. Graham, with 16 points, tied the score with a driving layup, before the closing sequence that put her at the foul line with a chance to take the lead.

Huntington reached the state final one year after it held the No. 1 seed and got upended by Woodlawn-Baton Rouge in a semifinal.

Next will be a rematch against Woodlawn after the Panthers defeated Edna Karr in the other semifinal Thursday.

ing three in a row in the second half in an uncharacteristically sloppy performance by almost everyone.

R.J. Felton led a balanced East Carolina effort with 17 points.

Despite the brutal opening, Tulane blew numerous opportunities to make East Carolina sweat.

Gregg Glenn missed a breakaway dunk that would have cut the deficit to seven early in the second half, and East Carolina promptly extended its lead to 59-42. With the Wave trailing 64-54, Mari Jordan got blocked on a lay-up attempt, then Glenn missed a lay-up off his own steal and Kaleb Banks dribbled the ball off his leg and out of

bounds just before he would have elevated for an easy basket.

The Pirates put it away totally on a 3-pointer by Jordan Riley that made the score 69-56 with 2:04 left after Woods’ lay-up attempt was blocked.

“There were four possessions in the second half where we had the ball on breaks and couldn’t finish,” Hunter said. “At some point we’ll be the older team where we know how to get through that, but we just didn’t handle the pressure well enough.”

Tulane, which had not played in five days, still looked flat-footed for the first 10 minutes. East Caro-

lina went on a 15-3 run to go ahead 18-5 early, took advantage of multiple second-point chances and padded its lead to 28-11 when Jordan Riley stole a careless Banks pass and cruised in for a dunk.

“They played like they wanted to win their last game in this building,” Hunter said. “That’s how those older guys played, and we didn’t play that way.”

The Wave woke up from there, getting two pretty shots from Asher Woods off the dribble and a lay-up by Jordan off a turnover to pull within 28-17. Brumbaugh, who missed his first five shots, accounted for Tulane’s next 11 points on four

baskets, a free throw and an assist to Jordan after another turnover.

Brumbaugh’s scoop shot and backdoor cut for a layup off a feed from Woods kept the Wave in it, but the half ended poorly. Woods, who had connected on 28 of his last 31 free throws, missed one that would have cut the deficit to six, and East Carolina had two dunks in the final 36 seconds to go up 42-31.

Tulane went 0 of 7 on 3-pointer in the half, negating its 13-of-19 mark inside the arc, while East Carolina hit seven-of-16 from long range, including three early ones by Cam Hayes, who had made one of 10 over the previous three games.

BALLARD

Continued from page 1C LSU and No. 10 Georgia will be the final home appearance for Ballard and nine other LSU seniors.

For someone like the fifth-year Tiger from Mandeville, keeping the emotions of the moment in check will be a tough task.

“I’m trying to hold it together,” Ballard said. “The mindset is the same. You approach it as every other week.

“When I’m done, I’ll let the tears fall.”

First vault is set for 7:30 p.m.

LSU’s roster — freshman Victoria Roberts of Belle Chasse is the other — Ballard was one of several Tigers like Bryant and Olivia Dunne who decided to return for a fifth season in 2025.

It has proven to be a profitable choice for LSU. Ballard saved some of her best performances for the end of her time as a Tiger — career-high tying 9.95s on beam against No. 1 Oklahoma on Feb. 14 and this past Friday on floor in the Podium Challenge at the Raising Cane’s River Center against George Washington. Both routines resulted in the first two individual titles of Ballard’s time at LSU. Both helped the Tigers post plus-198 scores, a 198.050 against OU and a 198.125 against GWU that is tied for the best by any team this season.

think the most exciting part is where we started and where we can go from here.”

The Tigers enter the Georgia meet needing to beat the Bulldogs and win next Friday at Auburn to clinch at least a share of LSU’s first Southeastern Conference regular-season title since 2018. LSU is 9-2 overall and 5-1 in SEC competition. No. 1 Oklahoma, which steps out of conference against Michigan on Friday and closes at Georgia next Friday, is 13-1 and 6-1.

Clark likes to keep his team from obsessing too much over hardware as the SEC regularseason trophy, but Ballard said the championship has been on the Tigers’ list from the beginning.

“It’s on our sheet of intentions from the start of the year,” she said. “I say intentions rather than goals because it’s something we planned to do.

The ties between LSU and Georgia gymnastics run deep. Clark is Ballard’s uncle by marriage, Ballard’s mother, Lori Strong Ballard, having been a 12-time AllAmerican for the Gym Dogs and a two-time Olympian representing Canada. Clark went to school at UGA, was a long-time assistant and later head coach there from 1990-2012. Clark’s son Cole and Sierra were born on the same day in August 2002.

Georgia tried to lure Clark back to Athens about the time the Tigers were trying to win the program’s first NCAA championship this past April. The school was seeking to replace the fired

Courtney Kupets Carter, herself a former Georgia great. When Clark and his staff decided to stay at LSU, UGA made co-head coaches out of Kupets Carter’s former assistant Ryan Roberts and Cecile Canqueteau-Landi, the 2024 U.S. Olympic women’s gymnastics coach and former personal coach of seven-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles.

Staying put at LSU and watching Ballard complete her journey as a gymnast has for Clark been one of the fringe benefits.

“Sierra has always been a huge part of our lives in our family,” Clark said. “It’s been cool to watch her grow, not just as a gymnast, but someone you love and care for, delving into the human being she is.”

The fire that Ballard carries within her is far from being extinguished.

Walgreens agrees to be acquired in $10B deal

Walgreens Boots Alliance says it has agreed to be acquired by the private equity firm Sycamore Partners as the struggling retailer looks to turn itself around after years of losing money.

Walgreens said Thursday that Sycamore will pay $11.45 per share, giving the deal an equity value just under $10 billion.

Shareholders could eventually receive up to another $3 per share under certain conditions.

A buyout to take the drugstore chain private would give it more flexibility to make changes to improve its business without worrying about Wall Street’s reaction. The company has already been making some big changes as it seeks to turn around its business. Walgreens has been a public company since 1927.

Walgreens, founded in 1901, has been dealing with thin prescription reimbursement, rising costs, persistent theft and inflation-sensitive shoppers who are looking for bargains elsewhere.

Walgreens is in the early stages of a plan to close 1,200 of its roughly 8,500 U.S. locations.

The Deerfield, Illinois, company had already shed about a thousand U.S. stores since it grew to nearly 9,500 after buying some Rite Aid locations in 2018.

Tariff whiplash drags markets down

BY STAN CHOE

AP business writer NEW YORK — Wall Street’s sell-off kicked back into gear on Thursday, and a U.S. stock market rattled by the whiplash created by President Donald Trump’s tariffs and uncertainty about the economy fell sharply.

The S&P 500 tumbled to resume its slide after a mini-recovery from the prior day clawed back some of its sharp drop over recent weeks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped and the Nasdaq composite sank to finish more than 10% below its record set in December.

Stocks fell even though Trump on Thursday offered a one-month reprieve from his 25% tariffs on many goods imported from Mexico and Canada. That’s unlike the bounce stocks got the prior day from his giving a one-month exemption specifically for automakers.

All the moves keep hope alive that Trump may be using tariffs as just a tool for negotiations rather than as a permanent policy and that he may ultimately avoid a worst-case trade war that grinds down economies and sends inflation higher.

But Trump is still pressing ahead with other tariffs scheduled to

take effect April 2. And the growing pile of dizzying back-and-forth moves on tariffs is only amping up the uncertainty. It was just on Monday that Trump said there was “no room” left for negotiations that could lower the tariffs on Mexico and Canada, which took effect Tuesday.

“These exemptions don’t do much to resolve the general air of uncertainty,” said Yung-Yu Ma, chief investment officer at BMO Wealth Management. “Businesses will still be cautious in the current environment until a lot more of the tariff picture is clear.”

U.S. businesses are already saying they’re confronting “chaos”

because of all the uncertainty coming out of Washington. while U.S. households are bracing for higher inflation because of the tariffs, which is sapping their confidence.

Such reports have raised the possibility of a worst-case scenario known as “stagflation,” where the economy is stagnating and inflation is high. It’s something that policy makers at the Federal Reserve don’t have a good tool to fix.

“Much will depend on whether these new tariffs prove temporary or are toned down,” according to strategists at BNP Paribas. “But even if they are ultimately removed, we anticipate lasting damage to global economic activity.”

Mortgage rates decline, but outlook is cloudy Mortgage rates have been mostly declining in recent weeks, helping encourage prospective home shoppers just as the spring homebuying season gets going.

But the same factors that have pulled mortgage rates to their lowest level since December — signs that the U.S. economy is slowing and uncertainty over the potential fallout from the Trump administration’s tariffs on imports — are clouding the outlook for where mortgage rates will go from here.

“We do not anticipate significant relief from high mortgage rates soon because of inflation remaining stubbornly high, which will not be helped by the tariffs that the Trump administration appears committed to rolling out,” said Joel Berner, senior economist at Realtor.com.

The average rate on a 30year mortgage in the U.S. has declined seven weeks in a row from 7.04% in mid-January to 6.63% this week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday. A year earlier, it averaged 6.88%.

The average rate is now at its lowest level since Dec. 12, when it was 6.6%. It briefly fell to a two-year low last September, but remains more than double the 2.65% record low the average rate hit in January 2021.

Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, popular with homeowners seeking to refinance their home loan to a lower rate, also eased this week. The average rate fell to 5.79% from 5.94% last week.

A year ago, it averaged 6.22%, Freddie Mac said.

U.S. applications for jobless benefits fall Applications for U.S. jobless benefits fell last week as the labor market remains sturdy ahead of an expected purge of federal government employees.

The number of Americans filing for jobless benefits fell by 21,000 to 221,000 for the week ending Saturday, the Labor Department said Thursday. That’s significantly fewer than the 236,000 new applications analysts expected.

Weekly applications for jobless benefits are considered a proxy for layoffs, which have remained mostly in a range between 200,000 and 250,000 for years. The four-week average, which evens out some of the week-to-week volatility, inched up by 250 to 224,250.

Some analysts expect layoffs ordered by the Department of Government Efficiency to show up in the report in the coming weeks or months.

BY PAUL WISEMAN, ANNE D’INNOCENZIO and MAE ANDERSON AP business writers

WASHINGTON — Marc Rosenberg, founder and CEO of The Edge Desk in Deerfield, Illinois, is getting ready to introduce a fancy ergonomic chair designed to reduce customers’ back pain and boost their productivity.

He figures the most expensive one will sell for more than $1,000. But he can’t settle on a price, and he is reluctantly reducing the shipment he’s bringing to the United States from China.

There’s a reason for his caution: President Donald Trump’s ever-changing, on-again, off-again tariff war with America’s three biggest trading partners — Mexico, Canada

threatening to detonate more than $1.3 billion in annual U.S. trade in North America, Trump announced that he was suspending many of the levies on Mexico and some of them on Canada for a month. This was an expansion of his Wednesday announcement when he exempted auto imports from both countries for 30 days, and it also comes after a previous monthlong tariff reprieve for Canada and Mexico right before they were to take effect Feb. 4.

Rosenberg and his ergonomic furniture, meanwhile, are contending with a 20% tariff on imports from China — which Trump on Tuesday raised from 10% — but he’s not sure where the tariff will actually land.

“The misdirection is making it very tough to plan for the year,” he said.

retaliation from trading partners, which can hurt all economies involved.

But import taxes can cause economic damage in another way: by complicating the decisions businesses have to make, including which suppliers to use, where to locate factories, what prices to charge. And that uncertainty can cause them to delay or cancel investments that help drive economic growth.

“It creates an enormous amount of uncertainty for multinational companies that sell products worldwide, that import from the rest of the world, that run these complex supply chains through multiple countries,” said Eswar Prasad, an economist at Cornell University. “The uncertainty is going to be very unsettling for businesses and ... it will hurt business investment.”

Swings typical of market Selling stocks now may be a bad idea

BY STAN CHOE and CORA LEWIS AP business writers

NEW YORK — Much like all the upheaval shaking the world, the huge swings rocking Wall Street may feel far from normal. But, for investing at least, all this is typical.

Sharp moves for the U.S. stock market, such as its recent 6% drop in just a couple of weeks, happen regularly. Stomaching them is the price investors have to pay for the bigger returns that stocks can offer over other investments in the long term.

This time doesn’t look much different, experts say.

The S&P 500 has regularly seen declines bigger than this recent one, of 10% or more, every year or so. Often, experts view them as a culling of optimism that can otherwise run overboard, driving stock prices too high.

Before this recent stumble, many critics were already saying the U.S. stock market was too expensive after prices rose faster than corporate profits. They also

pointed to how only a handful of companies were driving so much of the market’s returns. A group of just seven Big Tech companies accounted for more than half of the S&P 500’s total return last year, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Anytime an investor sees they’re losing money, it feels bad. This recent run feels particularly unnerving because of how incredibly calm the market had previously been.

The S&P 500 is coming off a second straight year where it shot up by more than 20%, the first time that’s happened since baggy pants were last in style before the millennium.

Selling may offer some feeling of relief. But it also locks in losses and prevents the chance of making the money back over time. Historically, the S&P 500 has come back from every one of its downturns to eventually make investors whole again. That includes after the Great Depression, the dot-com bust and the 2020 COVID-19 crash.

Some recoveries take longer than others, but experts often recommend not putting money into stocks that you can’t afford to lose for several years, up to 10.

“Data has shown, historically, that no one can time the market,”

Financial news is displayed as people work on the floor Tuesday at the New york Stock Exchange in New york. said Odysseas Papadimitriou, CEO of WalletHub. “No one can consistently figure out the best time to buy and sell.”

The proliferation of online trading platforms and the ease of smartphones have helped create a new generation of investors who may not be used to such volatility.

But the good news is younger investors often have the gift of time.

With decades to go until retirement, they can afford to ride the waves and let their stock portfoli-

os hopefully recover before compounding and eventually growing even bigger.

People who have already retired may want to cut back on spending and withdrawals after sharp market downturns, because bigger withdrawals will remove more potential compounding ability in the future. But even retirees, at least in the early part of retirement, should still be invested in stocks to prepare for the possibility of decades of spending ahead.

N.O. bid to earn cultural designation gets a boost

BY KEITH SPERA Staff writer

Is New Orleans a world-class music city?

To anyone even remotely familiar with the city’s rich and diverse musical history and contemporary scene, the answer is, “Obviously.”

Tourism officials and civic boosters are trying to make that global designation official.

An effort is underway to convince the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to make New Orleans a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

If chosen, New Orleans would earn UNESCO’s prestigious “Creative City of Music” designation.

The application process commenced three years ago and is being facilitated by New Orleans and Co., the local tourism industry’s official destination marketing and sales organization.

The campaign got a big boost Feb. 28 when NO&C officials received word that New Orleans is one of two cities, from two different creative fields, that the U.S. Mission to UNESCO selected to receive a letter of support from the State Department.

That letter essentially confirms New Orleans as one of the United States’ official applicant cities to the UNESCO program.

The letter will accompany New Orleans’ submission to become a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.

A final decision on which cities receive the designation is due later this year.

UNESCO launched its network program in 2004 as part of the organization’s mission to facilitate global peace through cultural exchange and cooperation. It covers seven creative fields: design, film, music, crafts and folk art, literature, media arts and gastronomy.

The designated cities form a sort of mutual support system, with the hope being that they work together to promote culture and creativity. The UNESCO designation could also be used to market New Orleans to potential international visitors.

So far, the network has 350 member cities in more than 100 countries. At present, only nine American cities are part of the program.

The likes of Jon Batiste and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival producer/director Quint Davis are supporting New Orleans’ bid to be a UNESCO “Creative City of Music.”

“We are applying to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network because we want to fortify New Orleans’ seat at the global table, to open doors and shine a light on the rich cultural landscape that makes our city a hallowed destination for music lovers from across the world,” said Walt Leger III, president & CEO of New Orleans and Co., in a statement.

“In New Orleans, music doesn’t just tell our story — it is our story.”

On Sunday, April 17, 1977, the Wild Tchoupitoulas, led by Big Chief George “Jolly” Landry, appeared at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which wasn’t yet a decade old.

Joining Jolly that afternoon were his nephews Art, Charles, Aaron and Cyril Neville. Aaron’s son Ivan was also present.

‘I chose to NOT follow the gutless rules’

Francis Ford Coppola roasts the movie industry

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Leave it to Francis Ford Coppola to use his Razzie “win” as an opportunity to critique the film industry.

Coppola was named worst director by the parody awards show honoring the year’s “worst” movies.

The “Godfather” director wrote in an Instagram post that

he was “thrilled” by the honor.

“In this wreck of a world today, where ART is given scores as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to NOT follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years from now.”

I was getting upset about things that never bothered me before and was unable to sleep.

Because of this, my wife left me and took our daughter. I went to the doctor after they left to prove to my wife that there was nothing wrong with me. I was shocked to find out what had happened and that there was a health condition I was battling.

TODAY IN HISTORY

By The Associated Press Today is Friday, March 7, the 66th day of 2025. There are 299 days left in the year.

Today in history On March 7, 1965, a march by over 500 civil rights demonstrators was violently broken up at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama; state troopers and a sheriff’s posse fired tear gas and beat marchers with batons in what became known as “Bloody Sunday.”

On this date: In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell received a U.S. patent for his telephone.

In 1936, Adolf Hitler ordered his troops to march into the Rhineland, thereby breaking the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Treaties.

In 1975, the U.S. Senate revised its filibuster rule, allowing 60 senators to limit debate in most cases, instead of the previously required two-thirds of senators present.

In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a parody that pokes fun at an original work can be considered “fair use.” (The ruling concerned a parody of the Roy Orbison song “Oh, Pretty Woman” by the rap group 2 Live Crew.)

In 2010, filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director, taking the prize for directing the film “The Hurt Locker.”

In 2024, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the shooting incident on the set of the film “Rust” in 2021, which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

(Gutierrez-Reed was later sentenced to 18 months in prison.)

Today’s birthdays: Hall of Fame auto racer Janet Guthrie is 87. Actor Daniel J. Travanti is 85. Entertainment executive Michael Eisner is 83. Football Hall of Famer Lynn Swann is 73. R&B musician Ernie Isley (The Isley Brothers) is 73. Actor Bryan Cranston is 69. Tennis Hall of Famer Ivan Lendl is 65. Singer Taylor Dayne is 63.

Author E.L. James is 62. Author Bret Easton Ellis is 61. Comedian Wanda Sykes is 61. Actor Rachel Weisz is 55. Actor Peter Sarsgaard is 54. Actor Jenna Fischer is 51. Actor Tobias Menzies is 51.

RECORDING

Continued from page 1D As co-producers of the Tipitina’s Record Club’s archival LPs, Galactic bassist Rob Mercurio and saxophonist/harmonica player Ben Ellman also act as detectives, seeking out rare, long-lost recordings.

As fans of the Wild Tchoupitoulas footage in “Always For Pleasure,” they wondered if a longer audio recording might exist.

Blank passed away in 2013. Mercurio worked with Blank’s son, Harrod Blank, to acquire footage for a pandemic-era virtual fundraiser for Tipitina’s.

In 2024, Mercurio asked Harrod to check his father’s archives for any recordings of the 1977 Wild Tchoupitoulas Jazz Fest set. And sure enough, Blank discovered an audio tape of seven songs.

The recording documents the Neville Brothers’ emergence from the wellspring of Mardi Gras Indian music, facilitated by their mother’s brother, George “Jolly” Landry.

Landry loomed large in his nephews’ lives and in the Uptown neighborhood, centered around Valence Street, they called home.

He first recruited his nephews to back him and members of his

tribe on the 1976 album “The Wild Tchoupitoulas.” The brothers had previously collaborated in various configurations but hadn’t yet committed to being their own band.

They would later credit their collective existence as a band — destined to be one of New Orleans’ greatest — to Jolly bringing them together in the studio with the Wild Tchoupitoulas.

Their connection only deepened that day at the ’77 Jazz Fest.

Overalls with no shirt The late Michael P. Smith, a tireless chronicler of New Orleans culture, was at Jazz Fest’s Stage 4 to photograph the Nevilles and the Indians. His photos, now held by the Historic New Orleans Collection, decorate the new Tipitina’s Record Club album’s front and back covers.

Jolly and the other Indians — Big Chief Pete, Sylvester Lewis and Norman Bell — sport full Indian plumage. Charles Neville wears an Indian headdress of yellow feathers. Aaron Neville opted for red overalls with no shirt underneath.

Ivan is in a T-shirt that identifies him as a Walter S. Cohen High School senior. He was just tagging along that day with his father and uncles and decided to join them onstage.

Cash to help pay your funeral, medical bills or other final expenses.

Their backing band consisted of brothers “Deacon” John Moore on guitar and Charles Moore on bass, plus drummer James Ledet.

They provided the foundation upon which the Indians and Nevilles built their vocal harmonies interlaced with cowbell and other forms of hand percussion.

As Jennifer Odell writes in the new album’s liner notes, the music they made is “full of slow-rolling climaxes and combinations of melodic motifs that only this group in this setting could have created.

“It is a mix of positive energies coalescing into a musical celebration of strength and courage and artistry that pays homage to New Orleans’ Mardi Gras Indian traditions with room for creative improvisation.”

In tune with tradition The brothers were in tune with Indian tradition but not bound by it as they replicated most of the 1976 “The Wild Tchoupitoulas” album onstage at Jazz Fest.

Aaron’s distinctive tenor elevates the opening, truncated “Jock-A-Mo.” Cyril’s grittier soul shout leads the charge on “Brother John.”

In “Meet De Boys on the Battlefront” and “Here Dey Come,” the brothers provide the same back-

ground harmonies that would, down the road, grace their own albums. The backing band, with presumably Art Neville on piano, factors more prominently in “Here Dey Come.”

The “Hey Pocky A-Way” that opens the LP’s Side 2 is a raw, barebones take on the song that, in a funkier, more robust and electrified form, would become a Neville Brothers staple.

An unfocused prelude to “Big Chief Got A Golden Crown” suddenly gels and takes off.

As listed in the 1977 Jazz Fest program, the Wild Tchoupitoulas were allotted a full hour on Stage 4. By comparison, Johnny Adams and a solo Aaron Neville each had only 30 minutes on the same stage earlier that afternoon.

The entire “New Orleans ’77” LP clocks in at 30 minutes. Mercurio can’t say for certain that it captures the entire Jazz Fest performance. The audio from Blank’s recording stopped abruptly during “Indian Red’; for the album, Mercurio and Ellman had to fade out the song.

But what the Tipitina’s Record Club has revealed on heavyweight, 180-gram clear vinyl dabbled with purple, green and yellow is the fullest picture yet of a milestone in New Orleans music.

Repurposing Resisting the urge to multitask on the phone old brooms Dear Heloise: An old broom can be used to “corral” rolls of tape.

Love your column! — Ann G., via email Ann, I love to repurpose items when I can. I had an old broom handle that I mounted on a wall in my crafting Hints from room. I took all my Heloise rolls of ribbons and string, then strung them on the pole. It was so easy to just pull out a length of ribbon when I was wrapping a gift.

Do any of my readers have other handy hints like this to add to our collection?

Let us know by writing to Heloise@Heloise.com. — Heloise

High water pressure Dear Heloise: Recently, our homeowners association asked everyone to check their water pressure to make certain that it wasn’t too high. Turns out, mine was. Appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers have a shorter life if the water pressure is too high. This explains why my dishwasher had to be replaced every five or six years!

It can also cause pipes to break and can result in expensive repairs. You can ask any plumber to check your water pressure, and if it’s too high, ask what they recommend. You know the old saying: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” — Courtney F., in Ohio

Travel hint Dear Heloise: I travel about 105 nights a year on average, so I’ve learned a thing or two about packing. If you are packing shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, or anything that can be sprayed or is liquid, no matter how tight the lid is, always place those items in a large zip-close bag to keep any spillage from ruining your clothing.

Always roll up your jeans and T-shirts, and don’t forget to pack slippers to wear around your hotel room. — H.S., in Detroit Send a hint to heloise@heloise. com.

Coppola concluded the post by reflecting on the film’s box office performance, writing, “Let us remind ourselves us that box-office is only about money, and like war, stupidity and politics has no true place in our future.”

The Razzies dubbed the film “WTF: The Movie” and called it “an incoherent $120 million mess from the fabled director of ‘The Godfather.’ ” Jon Voight won for his supporting role in the movie as Hamilton Crassus III — a tie with his performances in three other movies.

Bridge

BY PHILLIP ALDER J. William Fulbright, a senator from Arkansas for 30 years and the longestserving chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said, “We must dare to think ‘unthinkable’ thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us.”

That certainly applies to bridge players. In today’s deal, look at the North and East hands. South is in four hearts. West leads the club nine: three, ace, jack. How should East plan the defense?

North’s two-diamond response was a transfer bid, showing five or more hearts.

South’s jump to three hearts, a superaccept, promised a maximum with four hearts and a doubleton somewhere.

Bridge is full of little ditties that were designed to help the less capable players.

Here, many Easts will think of “return partner’s lead.”

Yesterday we learned that playing a club back at trick two is not necessarily fatal. A crafty South will win that trick and cash his third club, discarding a spade from the dummy before taking the heart finesse. But the defense can still triumph.

However, at trick one, East should analyze his partner’s lead. It must be top of nothing. So why continue clubs? It cannot help. Instead, East should shift to a spade or diamond, and given the dummy, a spade seems the natural choice.

South does best to win with his ace and cash his two clubs, discarding a spade from the dummy. But East should note his partner’s discouraging spade two.

Then, when in with the heart king, East should cash the diamond ace and (seeing West’s encouraging nine) continue with another diamond to defeat the contract. © 2025 by nEa, inc., dist. By andrews mcmeel syndication

Louisiana is set to start doling out supercharged unemployment benefits of $600 more a week on Monday, providing the first wave of relief to a staggering number of residents seeking aid as the coronavirus rocks the state’s economy.

But as benefits begin flowing and officials project no part of Louisiana is on track to run out of hospital beds or ventilators in the coming 10 days, Gov. John Bel Edwards warned Wednesday it will be a long time before things return to normal.

Until there is a vaccine and medication that can treat the virus — prospects that are months or longer away — Edwards said people will likely not see “life as you knew it before COVID-19.”

Although at some point restrictions will be loosened, it remains unclear exactly what that will look like, Edwards said. The state will rely heavily on the federal government and will need far more testing, along with contact tracing and isolation of patients who later test positive, he said.

“I promise you no matter what the timeline looks like, it’s going to be quicker if everyone follows the stay-at-home order,” the governor said.

In the meantime, as the order is set to keep thousands of businesses closed until at least April 30, the Louisiana Workforce Commission will start paying out the extra $600 per week benefit to unemployed Louisiana
