Incoming kindergarten students were largely shut out of Louisiana’s new private education program, according to state data, leaving thousands of families scrambling and many private schools with unﬁlled seats just as the newschool year begins. Only about 80 of the 4,500 eligible incoming kindergartners who applied received grants through LA GATOR, anew state program meant

to help families pay for private schoolorhome schoolingexpenses, according to data shared by the state Education Department. Overall, less than 2% of the more than 5,800 grants awardedfor the upcoming school year wenttorisingkindergartners.

The situation stems from limited state funding and program rules that prioritizedgiving grants to students who previously received schoolvouchers—agroup that did not include this year’snew kindergartners.

Now private school leaders and advocatesare sounding thealarm, saying that families who had counted on receiving state aid must either come up with tuition money or enroll their children in publicschoolsthat still have open kindergarten seats

FBI: Violent crime in U.S dropped 4.5% last year

WASHINGTON Violent crime in the United States fell 4.5% last year, according to a new FBI report, which also shows an 8% drop in property crime from the year before.

The FBI statistics released Tuesday show murder and nonnegligent manslaughter in the U.S. in 2024 fell nearly 15% from a year earlier, continuing a decline that’s been seen since a coronavirus pandemicera crime spike. Reported hate crimes decreased 1.5%, according to the report.

Despite that slight decrease, last year’s hate crime totals were the second highest reported by the FBI in the more than 30 years it has been collecting data, according to Brian Levin founder of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism and professor emeritus at California State University-San Bernardino Crime surged during the coronavirus pandemic, with homicides increasing nearly 30% in 2020 over the previous year, the largest one-year jump since the FBI began keeping records. Violent crime across the U.S. dipped to near pre-pandemic levels around 2022.

The FBI collects data through its Uniform Crime Reporting Program, and not all law enforcement agencies in the U.S. participate. The 2024 report is based on data from more than 16,000 agencies, or more than 86% of those agencies in the FBI’s program. The agencies included in the report protect more than 325 million people across the U.S.

Second earthquake hits New York City region

HILLSDALE, N.J A second small earthquake rattled the New York metropolitan area on Tuesday within several days of another The 2.7 magnitude earthquake struck a little after noon near suburban Hillsdale, New Jersey, about 10 miles northwest of the Bronx in New York City according to the U.S. Geological Survey There were no initial reports of damages or injuries from the quake The tremor came after a 3.0 magnitude earthquake shook the area Saturday night. That earthquake struck Hasbrouck Heights, which is about 9 miles south of Hillsdale.

Geophysicist Jessica Turner of the National Earthquake Information Center said it was “a little hard” to label the second one an aftershock.

“While it did occur about nine miles to the north of the earthquake that occurred on Aug. 2, we aren’t quite sure because it’s not right on top of that location,” she said. “We aren’t quite sure if this is an aftershock of that earthquake or if maybe it’s just kind of like a separate earthquake that occurred.”

‘Ketamine Queen’ gets September trial date

LOSANGELES A woman charged with selling Matthew Perry the dose of ketamine that killed him is headed for a September trial.

Jasveen Sangha’s trial is now set to begin Sept. 23 after an order Tuesday from a federal judge in Los Angeles.

The 42-year-old Sangha, who prosecutors say was known to her customers as “The Ketamine Queen,” is charged with ﬁve counts of ketamine distribution, including one count of distribution resulting in death She has pleaded not guilty and has been held in federal custody since her arrest last year Sangha was one of the two biggest targets in the investigation of Perry’s death, along with Dr Salvador Plasencia, who pleaded guilty to ketamine distribution last month. Perry’s personal assistant, his friend and another doctor also entered guilty pleas and are cooperating with prosecutors. All are awaiting sentencing. Perry, who was found dead at age 54 at his home Oct. 23, 2023, had been getting ketamine from his regular doctor for treatment of depression, an increasingly common off-label use for the surgical anesthetic. But prosecutors say Perry sought more from Plasencia, then still more from Sangha.

Trump takes walk on White House roof

BY JOEY CAPPELLETTI Associated Press

WASHINGTON President Donald Trump’s day began typically enough, with a television interview and a call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Then it took an unexpected and unusual turn when he appeared on the roof of the White House’s West Wing.

Late Tuesday morning, Trump emerged from a door connected to the State Dining Room and stepped onto the roof above the press briefing room and west colonnade that walls the Rose Garden He spent nearly 20 minutes surveying the rooftop and the grounds below, including a newly paved makeover of the Rose Garden.

Reporters, tipped off by the outof-the-ordinary positioning of snipers above the Oval Ofﬁce, shouted questions from below One called out: “Sir, why are you on the roof?”

“Taking a little walk,” Trump shouted back “It’s good for your health.”

Trump walked with a small group that included James McCrery, architect of the newly announced $200 million ballroom

project. They moved slowly, with Trump frequently gesturing and pointing at the roof and grounds. Several times, he wandered to-

Korean student freed from ICE detention

Faith leaders protested after she was sent to La.

BY JAKE OFFENHARTZ Associated Press

A Purdue University student from South Korea has been freed from federal detention, tearfully reuniting with her family and religious community in Manhattan following days of outcry from faith leaders in New York and abroad.

Yeonsoo Go, 20, was taken into custody on Thursday during a routine immigration hearing in Manhattan, according to her attorneys and family She was then transferred to a federal detention facility in Monroe, Louisiana, where she was held for three nights before being released without bail on Monday

Mary Rothwell Davis, an attorney for the Episcopal Diocese of New York, where Go’s mother works as a priest, said the family had not received an explanation for the arrest or abrupt reversal.

“We don’t know why it happened, but we’re very happy that it did,” Davis said.

“We were moving heaven and earth to make it known that we thought this was a mistake.”

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said Go had been

placed in expedited removal proceedings for overstaying an expired visa.

The agency did not respond to questions about what prompted Go’s release.

“The fact of the matter is those who are in our country illegally have a choice — they can leave the country voluntarily or be arrested and deported,” agency spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.

But Davis disputed the contention that Go was here illegally She said Go has maintained a valid visa since arriving in the U.S in 2021, along with her mother, Rev Kyrie Kim, who leads a Korean congregation in the New York area.

A graduate of Scarsdale High School in the suburbs of New York City, Go studies at Purdue’s College of Pharmacy and remains active in the Episcopalian Church, according to Davis.

In recent days, clergy members, including Bishop Matthew Heyd, as well as the church leaders in Korea, have called on the Trump administration to release Go, insisting that her arrest was a mistake.

“Whether it was our outcry or some other factor that persuaded DHS to send her home, we don’t know, but we’re so grateful,” Davis said, adding that Go’s experience in detention was “unbelievably traumatic.”

Search for bar shooter who killed 4 is highest priority, Mont. governor says

BY HANNAH SCHOENBAUM Associated Press

Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte on Tuesday signed an executive order freeing up more resources for local law enforcement as they searched a mountainous area for a former U.S. soldier suspected of killing four people at a bar last week

The search for Michael Paul Brown stretched into its fifth day with more than three dozen law enforcement agencies helping with an effort that Montana’s top officials described during a news conference as the highest priority in the state. A team with the Montana National Guard has

flown nearly 20 hours since last Friday, looking for any clues for Brown’s whereabouts as an undisclosed number of ofﬁcers searched on foot.

“Rest assured, our brave men and women of law enforcement aren’t giving up, and I ask that you not give up on them either,” Gianforte said. Authorities say Brown, 45, fatally shot four people last Friday at The Owl Bar in the small town of Anaconda with a riﬂe that police believe was his personal weapon. He ﬂed in a white pickup that he later ditched and stole another white vehicle stocked with clothes, shoes and camping supplies A female bartender and

three male patrons were killed.

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen reiterated Tuesday that authorities are operating under the assumption that Brown is armed and extremely dangerous. Without providing more details, Knudsen said there’s evidence that authorities are searching in the right area. About 22 square miles of forest southwest of Anaconda have been closed to the public by the U.S. Forest Service as the search continues. Knudsen added that it does not appear that Brown has broken into any cabins or homes in the area to get food or additional supplies.

At one point, he said he was looking at “another way to spend my money for this country.” Later near the end of his appearance on the roof, Trump was asked what he was going to build. He quipped, “Nuclear missiles.”

Trump has substantially redecorated the Oval Office through the addition of golden flourishes and cherubs, presidential portraits and other items and installed massive flagpoles on the north and south lawns to fly the American flag. And last week, his administration announced that construction on a massive ballroom will begin in September and be ready before Trump’s term ends in early 2029. While Trump appeared on the West Wing, the White House has said the ballroom will be where the “small, heavily changed, and reconstructed East Wing currently sits.”

Judge blocks attempt to reallocate $4 billion away from FEMA

BY JACK BROOK and MICHAEL CASEY Associated Press

BOSTON A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from reallocating $4 billion meant to help communities protect against natural disasters.

U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns in Boston granted a preliminary injunction sought by 20 Democrat-led states while their lawsuit over the funding moves ahead. A spokesperson for the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The states argued FEMA lacked the authority to end the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program and redirect more than $4 billion of its funding. The program aims to harden infrastructure around the country against potential storm damage.

FEMA initially announced it was ending the program, but later said in

a court filing that it was evaluating it. Noting money for the program was allocated by Congress, the states’ lawsuit says any attempt to redirect it would run afoul of the Constitution. A lawyer for the government argued at a hearing in July that FEMA should have discretion to use the money how it sees ﬁt. In his ruling, Stearns said he was not convinced Congress had given FEMA any discretion to redirect the funds. The states had also shown that the “balance of hardship and public interest” was in their favor The program has provided grants for a range of projects, including strengthening electrical grids, constructing levees for ﬂood protection and relocating vulnerable water treatment facilities. Stearns said it appeared FEMA was “inching towards a fait accompli,” noting it had cancelled new funding opportunities and told stakeholders they shouldn’t expect any unobligated funding.

Tenn.man says he hurt badlyduringexecution

BY JONATHAN MATTISE Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. An inmateexecuted by Tennessee without deactivating his implanted deﬁbrillator said he was hurting badly shortly after the lethal injection began, according to severalwitnesses.

Byron Black was put to death despite uncertainty about whether the device would shockhis heart when the lethal chemicals took effect. His attorney said they will review data kept by the device as part of an autopsy Black died at 10:43 a.m., prison ofﬁcials said. It was about 10 minutes after the execution started and Black talked about being in pain.

Asked for any last words, hereplied, “No sir.”

Black looked around the room as the execution started, lifting his head off the gurneymultiple times, and could be heard sighing and breathing heavily.All seven media witnessestothe execution agreed he appearedtobein discomfort. Throughout theex-

ecution,a spiritual advisor prayed and sang over Black, at one point touchinghis face.

“Oh, it’shurting so bad,” Black said,ashelay with hishands and chest restrained to the gurney,a sheet covering up past his lower half, andanIVline in his arm.

“I’m so sorry.Justlisten to my voice,”the advisor responded.

Black was executed after a back-and-forth in court over whether officials would need to turn off hisimplantable cardioverter-defibrillator,orICD.

Black, 69, was in a wheelchair,suffering from dementia, brain damage, kidney failure, congestiveheart failure and other conditions, hisattorneys have said.

The nonproﬁt Death Penalty Information Centersaid it’sunaware of any othercases with similar claims to Black’sabout ICDs or pacemakers. Black’sattorneys saidthey haven’tfound acompa-

rable case, either Black was convicted in the 1988 shooting deaths of hisgirlfriend Angela Clay,29, andher two daughters, LatoyaClay,9,and Lakeisha Clay,6.Prosecutors said he was in ajealous rage when he shotthe threeattheir home. At the time, Black was on work-release while serving time for shooting Clay’sestranged husband.

Clay’ssister said Black will now face ahigher power

“His family is now goingthrough thesame thing we went through 37 years ago. Ican’tsay I’m sorry because we never got an apology,” Linette Bell, Angela Clay’ssister, said in astatementread by avictim’sadvocateafter theexecution.

Black’slawyersaidthe execution was shameful.

“Today,the state of Tennessee killed agentle, kind, fragile, intellectually disabled man in aviolationofthe laws of our country simply because theycould,” attorney Kelley Henry said.

ofﬁcials must have the deﬁbrillator deactivated to avert the risk that it could cause unnecessary pain and prolongthe execution.But Tennessee’sSupreme Court overturned that decision Thursday,saying the other judge lacked authority to order thechange.

The state disputed that the lethal injection would cause Black’sdeﬁbrillator to shock him and said he wouldn’tfeel them regardless.

Henry said Black’sdefense team will carefully review autopsy results, EKGdata from Black and information from the deﬁbrillator to determinewhat exactly happened during theexecution.

She saidshe wasespecially concerned about his headmovement and complaints of pain because themassive dose of pentobarbital used to kill inmates is supposed to rapidly leavethem unconscious.

“The fact that he wasableto raise his head several times and expresspain tells you that the pentobarbital was not acting the way thestate’sexperts claim it acts,” Henry said

It wasTennessee’ssecondexecution since May,after apause forfive years, first because of COVID-19 and then because of missteps by state corrections officials. Twenty-eight menhave died by court-ordered execution so far this year in the U.S., and nine other people are scheduled to be put to death during the remainder of 2025.

Black had an implantable cardioverter-deﬁbrillator,which is a small, battery-poweredelectronic device that is surgically implanted in the chest. It served as apacemaker and an emergency deﬁbrillator.Black’sattorneys have said adoctor can send it adeactivation command without surgery

The legalcasealso spurreda reminder that most medical professionals considerparticipation in executions aviolation of health care ethics.

Black’slegal team tried to get a new hearing about an intellectual disability they say he’sexhibited since childhood. People with intellectualdisabilitiesare constitutionally barred from execution.

expecting fewer kindergartners this year,and some have canceled kindergarten classes due to low enrollment,advocates and school leaders said. The headofone school predicted a“ghost grade” of empty kindergarten seats.

Catholic school leaders have implored Gov.JeffLandrytostep in, and advocates on Tuesday delivered letters to Senate President Cameron Henry,R-Metairie, asking for additional LA GATOR funding. However,many observers don’texpect lawmakers to revisit the issue until the next legislative session, leaving this year’skindergartners in the lurch.

“I don’tthink peopleunderstand that these childrenreally got left behind,” Marino said. Parents had good reason to think that their kindergartners would be included in LA GATOR

The law,which the state Legislature passed last year at Landry’s urging, says that students enter-

CLOSINGS

Continued from page1A

“Abortion should NEVER be considered healthcare,” Landry posted on X. He called the closure “a major winfor thepro-lifemovement.” Planned Parenthoodhas never offered abortions in Louisiana, but has long been alightning rod in the state’s abortion debate.

Also on X, Louisiana RighttoLife ofﬁcialswrote, “Goodbye Planned Parenthood,” adding, “Louisiana doesn’tneed you.” The antiabortion group linked to a map of crisispregnancy centers,which offercounseling, baby supplies and adoption referrals. These centersare often not licensed medical providers and typically do notoffer thesame range of health care services.

Erica Inzina, policy director forthe group, said in an email that the closure of Planned Parenthood’sLouisiana clinics will not leavea gap in care, as services like contraception and STItestingare alreadywidelyavailable at community health centers across the state. She emphasized that Planned Parenthood only operated in New Orleans and Baton Rouge,where multiple affordable alternatives exist. The group puttogether alist of communityhealth centers withsimilar services in New Orleans and Baton Rouge,

ing kindergartenare eligible for thetax-funded grants. Earlier this year,thousands of familiesapplied and were told their rising kindergartens qualiﬁed

Butthe law gives ﬁrst priorityto former school voucher recipients, aprogram to help low-income familiespay for privateschool that LA GATOR hasreplaced. Students who were in preschool last year (and are now entering kindergarten)never received vouchers, which were for grades K-12, so they weren’tprioritizedfor LA GATOR grants.

With morefunding, that might have been amootpoint.Landry requested nearly $94million for LA GATOR, which would have covered theformer voucherstudentsplus thousands of additional grant-seekers. But Henry and other lawmakers balked at the price tag, allocating just $43.5 million for the program.

The funding paid for grantsfor about 5,200 former voucher recipients and just under 700 additional students, accordingtothe state.

Landryrequested that those roughly 700 grants go to children

available on their website.

CrescentCare, afederally qualifiedhealth center in New Orleans, is able to take on some of those patients and provides similar services, saidDr. IsoldeButler, chief medicalofficer. But Louisiana, particularlyNew Orleans andBaton Rouge, often tops the list forthe highest rates of many diseases Planned Parenthood provided testingand services for,such as chlamydia,gonorrhea,syphilis, HIV andhepatitis C, shepointed out.

“We’re in aspace right now wherewehave very high rates of multiple sexually transmitted infections,” Butler said. “Not having Planned Parenthood available is goingtobea challenge foralot of patients whoare dependent on them.”

Planned Parenthood also has name recognitionthat makes it easier forpatients to find care, Butler added. While many health centers like CrescentCare offer similar services, they may notbeasvisible to patients.

“When you take multiple providers out of thepool of what’savailable, that’sgoing to be aproblem, and that’s going to be harmful for patients,” Butler said According to theKaiser Family Foundation, about 2% of Louisiana’sfemale Medicaid enrollees ages 15 to 49 received familyplanning services at aPlanned Parenthood clinic in 2021,

from low-income families and studentswithdisabilities who previously attended public schools, said state Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley “Hereallywanted to make sure that those students were preferenced,” Brumley said.

Aspokesperson for Landry did not respond to questions about his input intohow the grants were awarded.

Whether intentional or not, prioritizing public school students forsome of thegrants might help neutralize oneofthe criticisms of LA GATOR: that it’sa giveaway to families who already send their children to privateschooland can afford tuition.

“I don’tbelievethat was theintention, certainly notmyintention,” said state Rep. Jack McFarland, R-Jonesboro, whochairs the House appropriations committee, during aJune webinarhosted by thePublic AffairsResearch Council of Louisiana. “If we’re really talking about gettingchildren who arein‘D’ and‘F’ (public) schools out of troubled schools and giving their parents that option, then

whichislower than thenational average of 11%. That may reflectthe fact that Louisiana onlyhas two clinics. Even so, the closures could reduceaccessinareas where patientsalready face barriers,saidAlex Moody,staff attorney at Lift Louisiana,anabortionrights group.

“Especially in astate where we have asigniﬁcant shortage of people providing reproductive health care, this is ahuge loss for the health andwell-beingof everybody who uses those services,”Moody said.

U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, aRepublican from Baton Rouge, holds an opposing view.“PlannedParenthood is closing its doors,and that means lives will be saved,” he said on social media.

Attorney General Liz Murrill also said Tuesday that the closures were “welcome,” adding that“Planned Parenthood built itsbusiness around promoting death. Louisiana chooses life. We will always protect women and babies.”

Planned Parenthood had planned to offer abortions, but the LouisianaDepartment of Health deniedthe center’spermit during Gov Bobby Jindal’sadministration in 2015. Since then, the clinics have focused on nonabortionservicesand,more recently,provided support for patients seeking abortions in other states after theprocedurewas banned in Louisianain2022.

that’swhat we should be doing.”

The limited funding and program rules all but ensured that children whoattended private preschool wouldn’treceive LA GATOR money

That came as ashock to Meghan Warner,whose 5-year-old son Chasen attended preschool at Hosanna Christian Academy through thestate programfor low-income families. Earlierthis year,she applied foranLAGATOR grant to cover Chasen’skindergarten tuition.But after receiving an email this spring conﬁrming that Chasen is eligible for LA GATOR, Warner said the state notiﬁed her last month thatshe did notreceive agrant.

“I was honestly devastated,” she said. “I thought everything was going to go smoothly and he’d get the funding to go to the next grade.”

Shively and other Catholic school superintendents sent Landry aletter last month saying that shutting incoming kindergartners out of LA GATOR“caused confusion, frustration, andinsome cases,real ﬁnancialhardship.”OnTuesday, Citizens forEducational Choice, an advocacy group for Catholic schools in Louisiana, delivered to Henry some 250 messagesfrom parents calling for more LA GATOR money this school year

Fla. planning second immigration detentioncenter

BY KATE PAYNE Associated Press/Reportfor America

TALLAHASSEE,Fla. Florida Republican Gov.Ron DeSantis’ administration is apparently preparing to build asecond immigration detention center,awarding at least one contract for what’slabeled in state records as the “North Detention Facility.”

Thesitewouldadd to the capacity atthe state’s first detention facility,built at an isolated airfield in theFlorida Everglades anddubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” Already,state officials haveinked morethan $245 million in contracts for that facility,which officially opened July 1. Florida plans to build asecond detentioncenter at aFlorida NationalGuard training center called Camp Blanding, about27miles southwest of downtownJacksonville, though DeSantis has said the state is waiting for federal officials to ramp up deportations from the South Florida facilitybefore building out the Camp Blanding site.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the former South Dakota governor who is close with GOP LouisianaGov.Jeff Landry,inJuly told reporters that she was “having ongoing conversations with five other governors” about opening facilitiesintheir states modeled after an immigration lockup in Florida called “Alligator Alcatraz.” Noem said all five governors are Republicans and challenged Democrats to open similar facilities,too. The facility in Ochopee, Florida, has drawn blowback from advocates for immigrants over reports of fetid conditions since it opened in earlyJuly.Built on an airfield deep in the Florida Everglades,it is operated by the state of Florida with some oversight from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.Supportershavedescribed large populations of alligatorsin the surrounding swamp as adeterrenttowould-be escapees.

PresidentDonaldTrump’s administration is also trying to hold immigrant detainees on the actual Alcatraz Island, aformer federal prison in the San Francisco Bay now run as aNational Park Service museum.

One possibledestination forthe site on the prisongrounds, according to people familiar with the plans, could be along-abandoned wing called Camp J. Landrydeclared an emergency at Angola last week in abid to hasten repairs to that facility

The state shuttered CampJ in 2018 in amove hailed by criminal justice advocates as amuch-needed end to harsh conditions at the site

Camp J“just doesn’tseem to be an environment that’s suitable for ahumanbeingtobein,”saidDavid Cloud, aformer staffer for the criminal justiceadvocacy group Vera, who led ateam in 2016 that partnered with the state to find ways to reduce solitary confinement. “Putting ICE detainees there would just be another,you know, stain in history.”

Louisiana already has deep politicaland operationalties to thecountry’simmigration enforcement system as Trump pursues adramatic expansion of those operations. The state’sclusterofICE-contracted private jailsalready makesitsecondonly to Texas for thenumber of peopleitholds in immigration detention.

TheTrump administration has frequently ﬂown its highest-proﬁle immigrationdetainees to Louisiana, including ColumbiaUniversity student leaderMahmoudKhalil andTuftsgraduate student Rümeysa Öztürk

Many operational details of the plan, including how much it would cost and where funding would come from, remained unclear Tuesday Spokespeoplefor Landry’s ofﬁce and the stateDepartment of Public Safety and Corrections repeatedly declined to commentondiscus-

DHS Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in astatementto TheTimes-Picayune |The Advocate in July that the agency would notdivulge pending plans. The federal agency did not respond to follow-up inquiries.

“Wewon’tget ahead of the secretary in conﬁrming what plans are in the works,but as she said, we challenge politicians from bothsides of the aisle to partnerwithDHS to makeour communities safer,” McLaughlin said in July

Under the federal government’s 287(g)partnership,Trump has sought to expand state and local agencies’abilitytoboth arrest and detain migrants. The government’sneed for more detention space sharpened after the president’s domestic policy bill passed Congress last month. The legislation increasedICE funding from $8 billion to $28 billion. Ofﬁcialssay the expanded budget will translate to ramped-up immigrationenforcement

“Weneed to double our capacity anddetention beds because we need to facilitate gettingpeople outofthis country as fast as possible,” Noemsaidinher remarks last month.

Thefacility in the Everglades is run by Florida officials under 287(g),which hands local and state agencies immigration enforcement authority typically reservedfor federal ofﬁcials.

It is ofﬁcially named “Alligator Alcatraz,” part of what theadministration describes as its attempt to frighten migrantsinto“self-deporting” before theyare captured by theimmigration system. Florida Gov.Ron DeSantis has said the facility aims to be alaunchpadto swiftly deport immigrants rather thanalong-termholding center

Civil rights advocates andenvironmentalgroupshavefiled lawsuits against the Everglades facility,where detainees allege they’vebeen forced to go without adequate food andmedical care, andbeen barred from meeting with their attorneys, held without any charges and unable to get a federal immigrationcourt to hear their cases

“The wholepurpose is to make this be aplacethatcan facilitate increasedfrequency andnumbers of deportations of illegal aliens, and thatisthe goal,” DeSantis said at a news briefing in July Trumpand Florida officials describe the facility as adestination only for detainees who have been accused of serious crimes. But hundreds of people held there face no criminal charges, accordingto reporting by The Miami Herald. Migrants have told newsoutlets they were fed worm-infested food and have hadtowade across floors flooded with fecal waste.

On Tuesday, The Associated Press reported that Florida ofﬁcials are in talks to open asecond, similar facilitynear Jacksonville.

Angola, too, affords ample opportunityfor an administration seeking to sowfear among immigrants, said Rachel Taber,aNew Orleansbasedorganizer withUnionMigrante, an immigrant advocacy group. Thehugepenal colonyhouses morethan 6,000 maximum security prisoners, is abuiltonanold plantation and wasonce nicknamed “the Alcatraz of the South.” It has long had areputation for violence.

In May, Landryissuedanexecutive order urging local andstate law enforcement agencies to collaborate with ICE under 287(g).

The Louisiana National Guard, State Police,Alcohol andTobacco Control, State Fire Marshaland Department of Wildlife and Fisherieseachenteredagreementsunder the program, along with several local police agencies, according to a federal database.

In hisMay executive order, Landry said theLouisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections has “already begun to partner with DHS …toenforce President Trump’simmigration policies.”

PresidentDonaldTrumphas touted the facility’sharshness andremoteness as fit for the “worst of the worst,” while Department of Homeland Security SecretaryKristiNoem hassaid theSouth Floridadetention centercan serve as amodel for other state-runholdingfacilities forimmigrants.

On July 24, federal records show the state’sprison agency formalized its agreements with ICE under apair of 287(g) deals. One is a so-called “warrant service ofﬁcer” agreement, under which agents in theparticipating agencies are trained and certiﬁed to execute immigration warrants. The other is a “jailenforcement” agreementallowing deputized DOC employees to interrogate people about their immigration status and coordinate with ICE.

The passage of Trump’spolicy bill last month likely foreshadows an expansion of ICE infrastructure in thestate, formerfederal ofﬁcials and immigration attorneyspredict. One ICE facility in Alexandria is connected to an airport,making Louisiana akey hub for deportation ﬂights.

Aspokesperson for the GEO Group, aprivate prison ﬁrm that runs fourLouisiana ICE facilities, in February said theﬁrm was investing $70 millionacross its 50 U.S. facilities on “increased housing, transportation and monitoring capabilities and services to meet the anticipated requirements of the federal government’simmigration law enforcement priorities.” That wasmonths before the domestic policy bill passed Congress.

AGeoGroup spokesperson declined to respond last month to questions aboutthe company’s plansfollowing thepassage of that legislation. The spokesperson referred questions to ICE. LaSalle Corrections, another private ﬁrm that runs several Louisiana-based ICEfacilities, could not be reached.

House committee issues

subpoenas for Epstein files

Clintons, former law enforcement officials sought for depositions

BY STEPHEN GROVES Associated Press

WASHINGTON The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed the Justice Department on Tuesday for files in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation and is seeking depositions with the Clintons and former law enforcement officials, part of a congressional probe that lawmakers believe may show links to President Donald Trump and former top officials.

The Republican-controlled committee issued subpoenas for depositions with former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and eight former top law enforcement ofﬁcials.

The committee’s actions showed how even with lawmakers away from Washington on a monthlong break, interest in the Epstein ﬁles is still running high. Trump has denied prior knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and claimed he cut off their relationship long ago, and he has repeatedly tried to move past the Justice Department’s decision not to release a full accounting of the investigation. But lawmakers from both major political parties, as well as many in the Republican president’s political base, have refused to let it go

Rep. James Comer, the Republican chairman of the oversight committee, noted in letters to Attorney General Pam Bondi and the former ofﬁcials that the cases of Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell “have received immense public interest and scrutiny.”

“While the Department undertakes efforts to uncover and publicly disclose additional information related to Mr Epstein and Ms. Maxwell’s cases, it is imperative that Congress conduct oversight of the federal government’s enforcement of sex trafﬁcking laws generally and speciﬁcally its handling of the investigation and prosecution of Mr Epstein and Ms. Maxwell,”

Comer said Since Epstein’s 2019 death in a New York jail cell as he awaited trial for sex trafﬁcking charges, conservative conspiracists have stoked theories about what information investigators gathered on Epstein — and who else knew about his sexual abuse of teenage girls. Republican lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee nodded to that line of questioning last month by initiating the subpoenas for the Clintons, both Democrats, as well as demanding all communications between President Joe Biden’s Democratic administration and the Justice Department regarding Epstein.

Bill Clinton was among a number of luminaries acquainted with Epstein, a ﬁnancier, before the criminal investigation against him in Florida became public two decades ago. Clinton has never been accused of wrongdoing by any of the women who say Epstein abused them

The committee is also demanding interviews under oath from former attorneys general spanning the last four presidential administrations: Merrick Garland, William Barr, Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder and Alberto Gonzales. Lawmakers also subpoenaed former

FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller

However, it was Democrats who sparked the move to subpoena the Justice Department for its ﬁles on Epstein. They were joined by some Republicans last month to successfully initiate the subpoena through a subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee.

“Today was an important step forward in our ﬁght for transparency regarding the Epstein ﬁles and our dedication to seeking justice for the victims,” said Democratic Reps. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the committee, and Summer Lee, who initiated the subpoena, in a joint statement “Now we must continue putting pressure on the Department of Justice until we actually receive every document.”

The subpoenas give the Justice Department until Aug. 19 to hand over the requested records, though such requests are typically open to negotiation and can be resisted by the Trump administration.

The committee is also asking the former ofﬁcials to appear for the depositions throughout August, September and October, concluding with Hillary Clinton on Oct. 9 and Bill Clinton on Oct. 14.

Epstein’s ex doesn’t want grand jury transcripts released

BY JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press

NEW YORK Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, wants to keep grand jury records secret in the sex trafﬁcking case that sent her to prison, her lawyers said Tuesday as prosecutors continued urging a court to release some of those records in the criminal case-turned-political ﬁreball.

Maxwell hasn’t seen the material herself, her attorneys said — the grand jury process is conducted behind closed doors. But she opposes unsealing what her lawyers described as potentially “hearsay-laden” transcripts of grand jury testimony, which was given in secret and without her lawyers there to challenge it.

“Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable and her due process rights remain,” attorneys David Markus and Melissa Madrigal wrote. Prosecutors declined to comment. Government attorneys have been trying to quell a clamor for transparency by seeking the transcripts’ release though the government also says the public already knows much of what’s in the documents. Most of the information “was made publicly available at trial or has otherwise been publicly reported through the public statements of victims and witnesses,” prosecutors wrote in court papers Monday They noted that the disclosures excluded some victims’ and witnesses’ names.

Prosecutors had also said last week that some of what the grand jurors heard eventually came out at Maxwell’s 2021 trial and in various victims’ lawsuits. There were only two grand jury witnesses, both of them law en-

forcement ofﬁcials, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors made clear Monday that they’re seeking to unseal only the transcripts of grand jury witnesses’ testimony not the exhibits that accompanied it. But they are also working to parse how much of the exhibits also became public record over the years. While prosecutors have sought to temper expectations about any new revelations from the grand jury proceedings, they aren’t proposing to release a cache of other information the government collected while looking into Epstein.

The transcript faceoff comes six years after authorities said Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges and four years after Maxwell was convicted of grooming underage girls to participate in sex acts with him. The British socialite denied the allegations and has appealed her conviction, so far unsuccessfully

Some of President Donald Trump’s allies spent years suggesting there was more to the Epstein saga than met the eye and calling for more disclosures. A few got powerful positions in Trump’s Justice Department and then faced backlash after it abruptly announced that nothing more would be released and that a long-rumored Epstein “client list” doesn’t exist.

After trying unsuccessfully to change the subject and denigrating his own supporters for not moving on, the president told Attorney General Pam Bondi to ask courts to unseal the grand jury transcripts in the case.

A top Justice Department ofﬁcial interviewed Maxwell late last month, at the government’s request. Last week, she was moved from a federal prison in Florida to a prison camp in Texas to continue serving her 20year sentence. Ofﬁcials didn’t explain why

Netanyahuhints at expanded warinGaza

BY JULIA FRANKEL and WAFAA SHURAFA Associated Press

JERUSALEM Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at wider military action in devastated Gaza on Tuesday,even as former Israeli army and intelligence chiefs called for an end to the nearly 22-month war

The new pressure on Netanyahu came as Gaza’s Health Ministry said the Palestinian death toll had surpassed 61,000. As desperation mounts, the Israeli defense bodycoordinating aid announced adeal with local merchants to improve aid deliveries.

Among those speaking out were former leadersof Israel’sShin Bet internal security service, Mossad spy agency and the military and also ex-Prime Minister Ehud Barak. In avideo post-

by parachutes intoDeiral-Balah, central Gaza Strip, Tuesday

ed to social media this week, they said far-right members of thegovernmentare holding Israel“hostage” in pro-

longing the conﬂict.

Netanyahu’s objectivesin Gaza are “a fantasy,” Yoram Cohen, former head of Shin

Bet, said in thevideo.

“If anyone imaginesthat we canreach everyterrorist andevery pitand every weapon,and in parallel bring our hostages home Ithink it is impossible,” he said.

Netanyahu convened his SecurityCabinet to direct the military on the war’s next stage, hinting that even tougher action was possible. However,the meetingwrappeduphours later without any announcements about Israel’splans.

U.S. President Donald Trump, asked by areporter whether he supportedthe reoccupation of Gaza, said he wasn’taware of the“suggestion” but that “it’s going to be pretty much up to Israel.”

Netanyahusaid his objectives include defeating Hamas, releasing all 50 remaining hostages and ensur-

ing Gaza never again threatens Israel after theHamasled 2023 attack sparked the war Health officials in Gaza said Israeli forces opened ﬁre on Tuesday morning toward Palestinians seeking aid and in targeted attacks in central andsouthern Gaza, killing at least 45 people.

There was no immediate comment from theIsraeli military,which has said after previous shootings around aiddistributionthat it only ﬁred warning shots at people whoapproached its forces.

The dead include at least 26 people killed in the Morag Corridor,anIsraeli military zone where looters and desperate crowds unloaded U.N. aid convoys.

Six people were killedin Teina, near aroad leading to asiterun by theIsraelibacked Gaza Humanitarian

Foundation,anAmerican contractor.Morgue records at the nearby Nasser Hospital,which received the bodies, detailed the deaths and locations.

Thehospitalispart of the Health Ministry,which doesn’t distinguish between militants and civilians but says roughly half the dead from the war have been womenand children. The ministry operates under the Hamas government. The UnitedNations and other international organizations see it as the mostreliable source of casualty data.

The Israeli defense body in charge of coordinating aid, COGAT, said on social media there will be a“gradual and controlled renewal of the entry of goods through the private sector in Gaza.” It said alimited number of local merchants were approved forthe plan.

WASHINGTON The Department of Health andHuman Services will cancel contracts and pull funding for some vaccinesthatare being developed to ﬁght respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the ﬂu.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr announced in astatement Tuesday that 22 projects, totaling $500 million, to develop vaccines using mRNA technology will be halted. Kennedy’sdecision to terminate the projects is the latest in astring of decisions that have put the longtime vaccine critic’sdoubts about shots into full effectatthe nation’shealth department Kennedy has pulled back recommendations around the COVID-19 shots, fired the panel that makes vaccine recommendations, and refused to offer avigorous endorsement of vaccina-

tions as ameasles outbreak worsened.

Thehealth secretary criticized mRNA vaccines in a video onhis social media accounts, explainingthe decision to cancel projectsbeing led by thenation’sleading pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizerand Moderna, that offer protection against viruses like the ﬂu, COVID-19 and H5N1.

“Toreplace thetroubled mRNA programs, we’re prioritizingthe developmentof safer,broader vaccinestrategies, like whole-virus vaccines and novel platforms that don’tcollapse when viruses mutate,” Kennedy said in thevideo. Infectiousdisease experts say the mRNA technology usedinvaccines issafe, and theycredit its development during the first Trump administration with slowing the 2020 coronaviruspandemic.Future pandemics, they warned,will be harder

to stop without the help of mRNA.

“I don’t think I’ve seen a more dangerous decision in public healthinmy50years in the business,” said Mike Osterholm, aUniversityof Minnesota expert on infectiousdiseases and pandemic preparations.

He noted mRNA technologyofferspotential advantages of rapid production, crucial in theevent of anew pandemicthat requires a new vaccine.

Traditionally,vaccines have required growing pieces of viruses, often in chicken eggs or giant vats of cells, then purifying that material. ThemRNAapproach starts with asnippetofgenetic code that carries instructionsfor making proteins. Scientists pick the protein to target,inject that blueprint and the body makes just enough to triggerimmune protection —producingits own vaccine dose.

BRIEFS

FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

Trump narrows Fed chair candidates to four WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he’s whittled down his list of potential Federal Reserve chair candidates to four as he considers a successor to Jerome Powell Asked on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” for a future replacement to Powell, Trump named Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, and Kevin Warsh, a former member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

He said two other people were also under consideration, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is not among them.

“I love Scott, but he wants to stay where he is,” Trump said He did not name his other two top candidates but used the opportunity to disparage Powell, whom he has dubbed “too late” in cutting interest rates.

The news that Trump plans to make a decision on the Fed chair “soon” comes as the Republican president has been highly critical of current Powell, whose term ends in May Trump recently ﬂoated having the Fed’s board of governors take full control of the U.S. central bank from Powell, whom he has relentlessly pressured to cut short-term interest rates in ways that raise questions about whether the Fed can remain free from White House politicking U.S. stocks slip following latest discouraging signal

NEW YORK U.S stock indexes slipped on Tuesday following the latest discouraging signal on the U.S. economy

The S&P 500 fell 0.5%, coming off a whipsaw stretch where it went from its worst day since May to its best since May The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 61 points, or 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.7%.

A weaker-than-expected report on activity for U.S. businesses in services industries like transportation and retail added to worries that President Donald Trump’s tariffs may be hurting the economy

“Tariffs are causing additional costs as we continue to purchase equipment and supplies,” one company in the health care and social assistance business said. “Though we need to continue with these purchases, the cost is signiﬁcant enough that we are postponing other projects to accommodate these cost changes.”

Axon Enterprise leaped 16.4% after the company, which sells Tasers, body cameras and software to public safety departments, reported a much stronger proﬁt than analysts expected. It also cited growth in its AI offerings, which can save time for transcriptions and other tasks.

On the losing side of Wall Street was American Eagle Outfitters, which dropped 9.5% to give back some of its 23.6% jump from the day before. That’s when Trump weighed in on the debate surrounding the retailer’s advertisements, which highlight actor Sydney Sweeney’s great jeans.

Some critics thought the ad’s reference to the blonde-haired and blue-eyed actor’s “great genes” may be extolling a narrow set of beauty standards, while Trump said that being “WOKE is for losers.”

UAW faction seeks to oust union chief in sign of unrest

A group of United Auto Workers members is seeking to oust President Shawn Fain ahead of an election next year, a sign of frustration among some in the two years since the labor group secured landmark contracts with U.S. automakers. Workers at a Stellantis NV truck factory in suburban Detroit and an engine plant in southeast Michigan voted over the weekend to start the union’s process to remove its leader, said two UAW members involved with the effort. The votes join earlier ones by four other local UAW chapters, reaching the threshold needed for Fain’s opponents to bring allegations of ﬁnancial mismanagement, workplace retaliation and other issues against him to the federal monitor overseeing the union for potential discipline Representatives for Fain and the UAW didn’t respond to requests for comment.

MILES AHEAD

GM EV unofficially tops industry range record

BY SUMMER BALLENTINE

The Detroit News (TNS)

General Motors Co. engineers unofﬁcially broke industry records for miles driven in an electric vehicle on a single charge, the Detroit automaker said Tuesday, going more than 1,000 miles. Drivers reached more than double the Environmental Protection Agency’s estimated 493-mile range for the 2026 Silverado EV Work Truck, which Chief Engineer Joe Roy said is GM’s longestrange offering. The test comes as U.S. adoption of EVs grows much slower than GM and other automakers anticipated, accounting for more than 7% of the market this year Analysts predict interest will at least temporarily drop once the $7,500 tax credits for some EV buyers end in September and the Trump administration

works to roll back emissions regulations that incentivized production despite lagging consumer demand.

In that environment, Roy said increasing EV range remains a top priority to sway skeptics worried about frequent charging.

“Range is the No. 1 pain point from a customer perspective,” Roy said. Volunteers drove the Silverado in roughly hourlong shifts, 12 hours a day over the course of seven days to test the extended-range battery’s limits.

Officially, the Lucid Air Grand Touring holds the Guinness World Record for the most miles driven on a single charge. A team of three drivers ofﬁcially earned the title July 5 after driving more than 748 miles from Silvaplana, Switzerland, to Munich, Germany, over the course of two days.

The Silverado’s journey was less intense. Engineers plotted routes for maximum efﬁciency around Metro Detroit. Like the Lucid team, drivers took advantage of optimal warm weather during the summer for the best battery performance. To maintain battery life as long as possible, drivers also turned off the truck’s air conditioning, despite several 90-degree days. No riders were permitted during most of the test, and the team ditched the vehicle’s spare tire to reduce weight. Testing stopped before nightfall, which avoided using battery power to run headlights. And drivers kept speeds at 20-25 miles per hour as often as possible.

“We’re deﬁnitely taking this to the extreme limit here,” said Jon Doremus, who led the range project. “But there is a lot that you can learn from it. Things like looking ahead and driving for efficiency (and) maybe picking routes that are more efﬁcient rather than taking the interstate if you have a little more time to get where you’re going.”

Trump floats plan to legalize undocumented farmworkers

BY DAVE GOLDINER New york Daily News (TNS)

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ﬂoated a plan to grant legal status to undocumented immigrant farmworkers, claiming that foreign-born migrants are “naturally” better suited than “inner city” Americans to menial agricultural jobs.

In what would be a controversial partial break from his hard-line mass deportation plan, Trump said he wants to allow migrant farmworkers, millions of whom have lived in the country for years or decades, to remain in the U.S. indeﬁnitely

“In some cases, we’re sending them back to their country with a pass back (so when) they’re coming in, they’re coming in legally,” Trump said in an interview with CNBC. “We can’t let our farmers not have anybody.”

Trump used the present tense in the interview even though no such plan currently exists.

Any change to federal immigration laws would normally require congressional action, though Trump might seek to take executive action to achieve his goals, which he portrayed as helping farmers who rely on undocumented immigrant labor.

Trump asserted that low-income American citizens are not as well suited to tough and low-paying farm work compared to immigrants, without offering any evidence.

“People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They’ve tried, we’ve tried, everybody tried. They don’t do it,” Trump said. “These people do it naturally They don’t get a bad back.”

Big Ag and giant hospitality ﬁrms have lobbied the White House for a reprieve from his much-hyped mass deportation plan, which aims to oust up to 20 million undocumented immigrants from the U.S., regardless of how long they have lived here

The corporate titans, many of whom are also Republican donors, point out that America would have no way of feeding itself or running its restaurants and hotels without undocumented immigrants, a rare point of common ground with progressive advocates for immigrants.

Any formal program to carve out a new legal status to groups of undocumented immigrants is likely to spark strong opposition from right-wing hard-liners, who decry such compromises as amnesty for law-breaking illegal immigrants.

It’s unclear if Trump has the stomach to push through a plan to ease his own immigration crackdown or if his MAGA base would back him if he does.

Feds propose easing some drone restrictions

BY JOSH FUNK AP transportation writer

A new federal rule proposed Tuesday would make it easier for companies to use drones over longer distances out of the operator’s sight without having to go through a cumbersome waiver process.

The federal government had already approved 657 waivers to allow companies such as Amazon and major utilities to do this in certain circumstances, but the waiver process made it difﬁcult. The rule would establish a clear process for drone operators to seek approval for using drones this way

The industry has long pressed for the rule because being able to operate drones out of sight opens up a multitude of possibilities for their use. Being able to do this enables more use of drones for deliveries, inspecting infrastructure like bridges and power lines and other uses in agriculture like spraying fertilizer over thousands of acres on large farms.

“This draft rule is a critical step toward enabling drone operations that will enhance safety, transform commercial services, and strengthen public safety with drones as a force multiplier,” Michael Robbins, president and CEO of the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International trade group, said in a statement. The rule spells out the circumstances drones can be used These out of sight ﬂights will be allowed only under 400 feet, and there are precautions to ensure they don’t disrupt aviation and cause problems around airports Federal Aviation Administration

Administrator Bryan Bedford said. The drones will be required to have collision-avoidance technology to keep them away from planes and other drones. And the rule will only allow drones up to 1,320 pounds including their payloads.

“The issue hasn’t been that America just can’t innovate, America can’t create, America can’t build amazing drone technology It’s that we’ve had a bureaucracy in place that makes it incredibly incredibly difﬁcult for innovators to actually innovate,”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said. The rules are designed to address the way modern drones are being used today

“While the technology has rapidly advanced over the last decade, our regulatory framework in the United States has failed to keep pace,” said Lisa Ellman, CEO of the Commercial Drone Alliance group “Drone operators must navigate a labyrinth of ill-suited regulations designed for crewed aircraft.” Rule in the works for years

President Donald Trump issued executive orders in June directing the Transportation Department to quickly get this rule out The orders also included restrictions meant to help protect against terrorism, espionage and public safety threats. Drones are already used in a va-

riety of ways, including bolstering search and rescue operations, applying fertilizer, inspecting power lines and railroad bridges, and even delivering packages.

Amazon is one of the companies that received a waiver allowing it to use drones this way for some of its deliveries in College Station, Texas, as it develops the technology This rule should make it easier for Amazon and other companies to get approval to use drones this way in more communities.

Concerns about safety

The war in Ukraine has highlighted how drones could be used in a military or terrorist attack — a concern as the World Cup and Olympics approach in the U.S. There also have been espionage cases where drones have been used to surveil sensitive sites. And White House officials said drones are being used to smuggle drugs over the border, and there are concerns about the potential for a disastrous collision between a drone and an airliner around an airport.

The rule won’t allow drone ﬂights over large open-air gatherings like concerts or sporting events or crowded parks.

The FAA consulted with the Department of Homeland Security as it developed this rule to make sure security concerns are addressed. The government will accept comments on the new rule over the next 60 days before ﬁnalizing the rule likely sometime later this year Drone operators will have to go through background checks and be certiﬁed to operate drones out of their sight.

City Hall tossed records, clerksays

BY JONI HESS Staff writer

Days after theOrleans Parish Clerk of Criminal Court admonished City Hall for relocating hundreds of court records without proper notice, staffers upped their search Tuesday to a local landﬁll.

Clerk Darren Lombard said city workers were told by Public Works Director Rick Hathaway to move official court documents —including murder and rapecases datingback to the 1950s —from the shoddycontainers and ofﬁce trailerswherethey’d been stored foryears to aDepartment of Public Worksyard.

After learning thatatleast one container had been thrown away,along withother debris, Lombard gotpermissionfrom the Gentilly landﬁll owner to search for theﬁles withhis staff.

“They figured we would never find anything,” Lombard said of the landfill site workers, who assisted in the search with an excavator.”We’reretrieving asignificantamount of them (files), but Idoubt we’ll be able to get them all.”

The city has maintained custody of therecords because the clerk’sofﬁce lacks adequate storagespacetohouse sensitive court records, Lombard said previously.

City ofﬁcials didnot respondtorequests for comment, but Hathaway told WDSU in April that his ofﬁce had been workingwiththe city and the clerk of court for at least ayear to clear the recordsout of their maintenance division site.

Hathaway’s staffmembers—including those incharge of repairing trafﬁc lights —havebeen workingin dilapidated FEMA trailers while their buildingsits still damagedfromHurricane Katrina, he told WDSU.

In itslatestcapital budget request, Lombard’sofﬁce asked for city bond funds to renovate theformer Community Correctional Center on Gravier Street that has sat vacant since Hurricane Katrina.

“The new facility would alleviate the dire need forsubstantial space needed

to house essential court records, property, andevidence,” therequest states Part of the renovated buildingwould be used for storage acrosscityagencies, Lombard said. Plans grew more urgentinrecentyears as thecondition of the original storagespace worsened from issues like moistureand condensation.

Lombard, meanwhile, has called for an investigation into the “catastrophic failure” of removing records.

State law mandates that records related to criminal prosecutionsmust be kept for three years after appeals and post-conviction effortsare exhausted

—aprocess that, in Louisiana, can takeyears. Lombard said some of thedisposed records included ﬁles from closed capital-offense cases, which he claimed are subject to “lifelong” retention. No such requirement appears in state retention laws or published judicial guidelinesreviewed by reporters on Tuesday

While state law sets minimum storagerequirements, state agencies can adopt stricterstandards. However,it was unclear Tuesday whether New

“Good nutrition is acritical piece of living ahealthy life,”Abraham said.“Louisiana is alreadymovinginthe right direction, and this waiver takes us that muchfurther by removing foods that contribute to poor health outcomes.”

Landry has regularly promoted his connection to Kennedy,which dates back years.

Nowthatcourts have settled the question of whowill provide French Quarter anddowntown sanitation services in the near term, attention has turned to aseparate lawsuit that could determine who gets the contract for years to come.

Lawyers for Henry Consulting andthe NewOrleansCity Council on Tuesday gave arguments on thatquestionbeforethe 4thCircuit Court of Appeal,whichwill decide if alower-court order for thecouncil to sign offonHenry Consulting’sseven-year,$73 million contract is valid.

That order,issued by Judge Paulette Irons in December,isstayed until the case is resolved, and it’s not clear when that might be.Mayor LaToyaCantrellalsowanted to give Henry an emergency contract forthe workwhile his lawsuit played out, but she reversed course last week afterthe Louisiana SupremeCourt stopped it.

For years, St. Tammany Parish hasbeen trying to address its large number of home septicsystemsthat spew untreated sewage into the parish’swaterways, creating breeding grounds for diseasecarrying mosquitoes. Last time the parish tried to regulate the 36,000 residentialseptic systemsin2023, the proposed law wasindeﬁnitely postponed. But on Thursday,Parish Council membersJoe Impastato and Jeff Corbin will again bring the law up for consideration, this time with a newfunding source and asigniﬁcant tweak.

The ordinance would require onsite sewage disposal systems,commonly knownas“septic systems,” to be inspected by the parish’s Department of Environmental Services every three years. Failingsystemsmust be repaired or residents can face ﬁnes.

St.Tammanyhas more septic systems than anyother parish, and an estimated half of them do not work properly,leaking untreated sewage into ditches.

But under the new version, the inspectionswould notcostanything,inlarge parts thanks to fundsprovided by the parish’s Mosquito Abatement District

“I think this is one of thebiggest wins for St. Tammany Parish,” Impastato said.

Improving water quality is amajor reason Impastato and Corbin said they are sponsoring the legislation. Corbin, whose district was part of apilot inspection program, notedSt. Tammany is known for its bayous and rivers. “Tohave those waterwaysbepolluted is not avery good look,” he said. Even so, the ordinance could face opposition. Councilmember Cheryl Tanner,who representsa largely rural area, saidshe wants to have her district excluded from the law.Some of her constituents live on larger lots and wereconcerned about the requirements, she said.

Tanner said she wants the parish to focus on thedenser areas near the rivers ﬁrst. “Give us thecritical areas. Let us see how you do,” Tanner said.

If the ordinance passes, the parishplans to spread out theinspections over the course of three years.

TimBrown, the director of the parish’sDepartmentofEnvironmental Services,which would run the inspection program, said his team would primarily start by inspecting high density areas where much of thedischarge into ditches is happening. Many homesinSt. Tammany have aerobic treatment units, which drain into ditches, as opposed to percolatingthrough the soil like aconventional septic tank, Brown said.

Fountainebleau State Park Beach is under an advisoryfrom the Louisiana Department of Health basedona sample from July 28. Some rivers and bayous in St. Tammany are also on the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of impaired waterways—contaminated with bacteria associated with sewage, Brown said.

The proposed ordinance also has support from the Pontchartrain Conservancy,which was been a part of the parish’sefforts to address therelease of undertreated sewage in the parish’swaterways

“Wewant to seehealthy waterways to protect public health and to protect the ecosystem of the Pontchartrain basin,”KristiTrail, director of the Pontchartrain Conservancy,said in an interview

The inspections could also help mitigate risk fromWestNile virus.

The parish has already had three cases of humans infected with West Nile virusthisyear, which is the most in the state, ac-

cording to Louisiana Department of Health data as of July 26. Untreated sewage can affect the population of mosquito-eating ﬁsh in ditches, according to according to Mosquito AbatementDistrict Director Kevin Caillouet, potentially leading to an increase in the number of mosquitoes that can becomeinfected with West Nile disease.

Of the mosquitoes identified withWest Nile virus sincethe start of this year,75% of them are the kind that lay eggs in ditches with sewage-polluted water, Caillouet said.

TheMosquito Abatement District hasallocated $500,000 annually to cover the costofinspections forthe ﬁrst threeyears of the inspection program —essentially“treating the source” for the species that carries West Nile, Caillouet said.

“We’re making an investment in aprocess to clean up the ditch water quality,sothat those ditches don’tproliferate with themosquitoesthattransmitWestNile virus,” Caillouet said.

On the surface, the Henry Consulting lawsuit is about the council’s signing authority on certain executive branch contracts: whether signing is mandatory, or if the council has the right to decline, either through inaction or a vote against.

More fundamentally, the case is a heated front in the ongoing power feud between the council and Cantrell, even though Cantrell is not a party to the lawsuit. Cantrell has echoed Henry’s arguments that the council has illegally usurped her authority

“They are attempting to nullify the legitimate, lawful acts of the executive branch,” said Henry’s lawyer Kim Boyle, addressing the three-judge appellate panel.

Council ordinances in 2022 and 2023 require the council president’s signature — authorized by majority vote on certain contracts for professional and legal services contracts, including those for sanitation.

The council’s lawyer Judy Barrasso, tried to steer the appellate judges away from considering the propriety of Henry’s contract or the council ordinances. She said the court should focus narrowly

Citizens Against Censorship and ﬁled the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Lafayette challenging policies adopted by Judge and the board that the women allege stiﬂe free speech.

Another visible change at Monday’s meeting: No offduty law enforcement ofﬁcers were present. At the time the lawsuit was ﬁled, the library board had hired two off-duty Lafayette Parish sheriff’s deputies as guards. At times they stood on either side of the board, facing the public, or on the sides or back of the meeting room.

Mejia and Brevis alleged in their lawsuit that their presence was a hindrance to free speech since Judge ordered the armed deputies to remove Brevis from the speaker’s podium in January 2023.

Judge, in 2022, had an LGBTQ+ advocate arrested by off-duty deputies serving as hired guards when he spoke one word out of turn after being warned not interrupt the meeting. A district judge dismissed the charges earlier this year

The settlement agreement now prohibits law enforcement ofﬁcers from standing in front of the room when the library board meets Before Monday, at the start of each meeting, Judge or another board member

on whether Irons abused her authority by telling the council how to vote

“You cannot order the council how to vote or when to vote,” Barrasso said. “That is exactly what this judgment does.”

Another aggrieved contractor, lawyer Charles Rice, who was denied a $75,000 legal contract when it didn’t come up for a vote, won a separate lower-court judgment in February declaring the ordinances null and void. That order is also stayed while the council appeals.

The Henry and Rice cases are similar, but there is a key difference. Henry, unlike Rice, isn’t trying to get the ordinances stricken. He instead argues they can’t be interpreted to give the council power to approve or deny contracts Boyle still took aim at the ordinances in her arguments on Tuesday, calling it “extremely odd” for the council to require its president’s signature on executive contracts. That prompted Judge Monique Morial to question why Henry didn’t try to strike down the ordinances. Jenkins asked how Irons can order the council to take action.

Replying to those questions, Boyle said the ordinances convey strictly ministerial authority — or duty to advance the mayor’s properly awarded contracts. She said any interpretation giving the council discretion over those contracts is “an illegal pocket veto.” She said the city charter is

would read a statement similar to that read before city and parish council meetings about meeting rules and decorum. The statement warned the public not to address board members by name or to use confrontational language or attempt to debate board members.

Board Vice President Allan Moore, in Judge’s absence Monday, read a new script outlining meeting decorum

The public is asked to remain quiet during meetings and refrain from making comments while others are at the speaker’s podium, Moore said Anyone who willfully disrupts the meeting to the extent that orderly conduct is seriously compromised will be subject to removal, he said, which mirrors language in the settlement.

Judge did not attend Monday’s meeting, nor did he attend the special July 14 meeting at which the board voted to accept the agreement settling the lawsuit.

The Lafayette Parish Council on Tuesday evening is scheduled to appoint two new people to the volunteer library board. One is to replace Judge. The other is for the seat held by Rena Bradley, who has applied to remain on the board.

“abundantly clear the mayor has all executive and administrative power.”

Lobrano said the ordinances are not clearly worded, and questioned whether the council’s inaction undermines its accountability Barrasso replied that the council was exercising its city charter-mandated oversight over a contract some council members said was riddled with irregularities.

“No council member saw fit to move forward, which is a message: Go ﬁx it,” Barrasso said.

The Henry contract was initially controversial because of Henry’s dispute with a subcontractor, Richard’s Disposal Inc., which was later resolved. Some council members also raised alarms because the contract expanded in scope and value after Henry beat out other ﬁrms They have also criticized the Cantrell administration for allowing Henry a reduced performance bond and other contractor-friendly terms they say are unusual. Cantrell is hoping to sign the Henry Consulting contract before she leaves office at the end of the year, but the lawsuit may not be wrapped up by then. The IV Waste emergency contract will expire nine days before Cantrell leaves ofﬁce if she doesn’t terminate it first. Cantrell has not said what she will do to ensure service continues through the end of her term.

LANDFILL

Continued from page 1B

Orleans’ criminal court or its clerk had done so. Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judicial Administrator Robert Kazik did not return a phone call Tuesday afternoon to address the storage requirements. Multiple calls to the Louisiana Secretary of

State’s Ofﬁce’s records division — which maintains retention schedules for agencies across the state went unanswered Tuesday

Jee Park, executive director of Innocence Project New Orleans, which represents post-conviction clients, said the appeals process in capital cases lasts until the moment of execution.

“Capital cases take many years, if not decades, to

complete post-conviction, because the process is so complicated,” Park said The loss of capital case records, even after years, “would do serious harm” to death penalty defendants, she said.

OUR VIEWS

Approach to sellingLa. watershould be cautious

Texas is coming for Louisiana water

Acompany based in Louisiana’slargeneighborhas offered to buy water from Toledo Bend, ajointly ownedreservoirthat sitsonthe Louisiana-Texas borderincentral Louisiana.Built more than ahalf century agofor hydroelectric power,the dammed Sabine River spot is nowa favorite for recreation, especially bassﬁshing.

TheSabineRiver Authority of Louisiana, which oversees Louisiana’sinterest in Toledo Bend,has been approached in recentyears by AqueductPartners LP

The Texas company has offered to purchase about $14.4 million of water per yearfromthe reservoir.Thatmoney would besplit equally betweenLouisiana and Texas.

There’slittle questionthatthe proposalwould bring in new revenue. Currently,the same amountofwater,when used for hydroelectric power,nets the authority only about $225,000. The new deal wouldaccountfor an 80% increaseinrevenue from water sales.

The amount sought by the companywould have anegligible impact on lake levels, ofﬁcials have said. Nevertheless, some locals are concerned, with onenoting that “once thatvalve opens,itwill never close again.”

Similar proposals have been ﬂoated in the past. More than adecade ago, an effort to purchase three times the amountnow sought was rebuffed by then-Gov.Bobby Jindal. Three yearsago, another proposal that would have startedatthe currentlyproposed amount before increasing it over 30 years lapsed before adeal wasmade.

This year,the authority has appointedacommittee to study whether it should entertalks withthe firm. It will probably be five or six months before adecision is made,officialssaid. Any subsequent deal must be approved by House and Senate natural resource committees, the governor and four of thesix parishes that borderToledo Bend.

We urge acautious approach to anysales Increasingly,water is beingrecognizedasa valuable natural resource. In Louisiana,weare uniquely wealthy in this regard, with ample surface and underground supplies. But thatdoesn’t mean the reserves are inﬁnite.

Already,some aquifersinthe state have had problems due to overuse. Andastechnology advances, water resources are likely to be in even higher demand. Datacenters,for instance,like the one planned for Richland Parish, require vast amounts of water to keep serverscool. We also hope the latest conversationoverToledo Bend water sales will lead to afullerone about Louisiana’swater usage. Thestate still does not have acomprehensivewatermanagement plan, though the LegislativeAuditor in 2020 urged leaders to create one. It may be that selling water to parched customers in Texas is acritical source of revenue forLouisiana; we would beinfavorofthat. But only if any such proposal is taken with careful consideration, input from stakeholdersand a sharp view toward making surefuture residents of Louisiana will not be adversely affected.

OPINION

Climateactivists

aren’t the ones pushingcarboncapture

StateRep.Charles Owen’s recent letter pointsout an unfortunateproblem with many current Republicans. To wit: They don’tknow who their friends are.

For example, as one of those “hard left ideologues” and “hard left climate alarmists,” I, too, have been skeptical of the claims by theoil and gas industrythat thesolution to atmospheric carbon is to capture it out of the atmosphere and pumpitunderground.

The ﬁrst thingthat should give you pause is theoil and gas industry’s record on “abandoned wells.” The thought of awell releasing 10 or 20 years’ worthofcompressed carbon dioxide all at once is concerning.

“Put it in fuels or concreteorfertilizer.” Indeed, but ﬁrst you need to create ademand from those industries for this product, which seems to me adds extrastepsand no additional proﬁt Iamwith Owen when he says, “No

rational market or consumer wants or cares about burying carbon.” And let me assure him,neither do the “hard left climate alarmist ideologues” either

This is an attempt by the oil and gas industry to create amulti-billion-dollar boondoggle.

Its central idea is that we can continue burning fossil fuels because we have carbon capture.

Ninety million metric tons of carbon dioxide are released every day,mostly through theburning of fossil fuels.

The best estimates are that carbon capture will sequester less than amillion metric tons per day by 2030. The scale of the solution isn’teven close to thescale of the problem.

The real solution is now,and always has been, to not put thecarbon into the atmosphere to begin with.

Trashcontract spotlights Cantrell’s defensivenessand dysfunction

Iwould move back to my hometown,New Orleans. Butthere’sareason why the metro area is the fastestshrinking in theUnited States

Icould easily (andaccurately) blame theRepublican state Legislature andthe governor for theirregressive, dangerous and inhospitable policies.But it’s notjuststate Republicans that makeenvisioning afuture in New Orleans unfeasible.

Recently, Iwas home for afew weeks to help my retired parents move from Uptown to Gentilly.The escalating dysfunction and nonchalant chaos areplain to see andmore pronounced after spending some time away.New Orleans is languishing. Polls show residents are beleaguered and angry

Some delude themselves that municipal rot is romanticinaTennessee Williams-style fever fantasy. Fools conﬂate chaos with culture. It’san insult to thepeople of New Orleans to interpret incompetence as heritage.

Bonaﬁde New Orleanians preserve dignity, not dysfunction.

StateRepublicans and local Demo-

crats alike are failing New Orleans. Yet, they were duly elected or reelected. Tragically,non-New Orleans votersinLouisianawill likely continue to shoot themselves in the foot by voting for Republicans who ignore thepreventable climate change that’s eroding the state’sshores and are hell-bent on shutting down the very services that theirworking-class constituents relyupon in one of the poorest states in our country

Butit’sanelection year in New Orleans. Voters have areal chance to make New Orleans astable and appealing place that dignifies them. It’s possible to flourish. Consider Birmingham, Alabama. There, Democratic mayor Randall Woodfin is pragmatically making the city functional anddesirable, enhancing qualityoflife for residents and taking on Alabama’sstate Legislature. As aresult, the Birminghammetro area is growing. Birmingham, of all places,has buzz. If Birmingham can do it,New Orleans sure as hell can.

ALEX ATES Denver, Colorado

Respect is defined as deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities. As acitizen of NewOrleans, Iresent Mayor LaToya Cantrell playing the race card and claiming that being awoman is why people disrespect her.Amajority of citizens elected her twice; thus, she had the respect of the majority and only through her arrogance and incompetent leadership has she sunk to a20% approval rating. It is she who hasdisrespected us: the Pontalba fiasco, wrongfully suing that lady who took her picture and then wanting the citizens to pay her legal fees when she lost, and on and on. Her blatant disregard for what the citizens of my area, the French Quarter,want for our sanitation is just the last straw.The $8 billion the city budget takes in is 70% funded by the Quarter,and we can’teven choose our sanitation company If we could get areferendum or petition to leave New Orleans and self-govern, it would be the greatest chance to ensure our financial well-being and the quality of life of the economic engine of the city and state. Here we sit powerless, while she sabotages the universally recognized greatest sanitation service we have ever had.

One has to wonderwhy,with only months left to torture us, she is driven to this end. What is the reason or motivation? Ihope an investigation after she leaves ofﬁce will shed light on her motive. If it ain’tbroke, don’tﬁxit, and we are in great shape since IV Waste cametoour area. The whole thing stinks. Please go travel and leave us alone.

Crypticgrave marker peels back complexlocal history

Spreading across alow hill afew miles west of Leesville is asmall countrygraveyard next to alittle red brick church. Nestled among theroughly 1,400 burial plots there, near thetop of the hill, is asimple granitemarker,set ﬂush in theground.The two words engraved on it are maddeningly cryptic: “Unknown Negro.”

For years, Ihavebeen fascinated by themarker,and last year,I tried to ﬁnd out everything Icould aboutit. There wasn’tmuch. No onethat Italked to —evenlocals with long connections to thecemetery —knew much about it. It had simply always been there.

On Saturday,Iwas back to attend Castor Cemetery’s annual “Homecoming” in the hopes that Imight learn more about the marker and the person —orpeople —buried there. The night before the event, anew clue surfaced: My mother-in-law,who hasfamilyburied at Castor,had dug up a30-year-old booklet aboutthe cemetery that said the ﬁrst three people buried there were Black, but that “it was unknown if they were male or female, nor adults or children.”

That would put them in the era around the end of the Civil War. Were they enslaved? Recentlyfreed? Travelers?Thereisnoway to know.

The next morning, Isat in the small sanctuary for the ceremony,which could best be described as across between achurch service and afamily reunion. Theroughly 75 people who attended ranged in age from 6to94— though most were closer to the latter— andalmost all of them had family members buried in the haphazard rows. Through the 90-minute ceremony people stood up to recountsomeaspectofthe cemetery’shistory.Some of it was sad: Aspeaker read aloud the names of the folks who had been buried since the 2024 homecoming. Some of it waspractical: The cemetery needs anew fence,and sometimesdeals with sinkholes.

There was humor,too. One manrecounted the story of his aunt, whose legisburied in Castor.The rest of her is buried in Hicks, several miles tothe east.

“Atthe great resurrection day, there’sgoing to be ajoining together!” he said to guffaws from theaudience. Afterthe service, as folks moved to thefellowshiphall for apotluck meal, I found 87-year-old Harles Smart. Harles’ ancestorswere among the foundersof the cemetery, and he knows moreofthe local lore thananyone else.

As we trudged among the graves up the hilltoward themarker,Harles told me what he knew about the Unknown Negro grave, which was very little. He was aware of the three-person theory, he said.Perhaps, he mused, they were amongthosewho harvested sap from pine trees for turpentine, an industry that often used enslaved labor Harles did know who had put the granite marker down. It was him, he said, because the old concrete one had faded Iasked when he put it there. He couldn’tremember.“Sometime after 1994” was as close as he could get. We chatted fora momentmore, then headed backdown thehill, through the chain link fence and into the church’s fellowship hall, wherewegrabbed plates and sat down to eat. We didn’t talk aboutthe marker after that. Iget it. Thehomecoming is ahappy event, away to remember andcelebrate thepast, not to revive what

might be uncomfortable questions.But awalk through the cemetery itself is a reminder that, like each of its roughly 1,400 inhabitants, thecemetery’shistoryiscomplex and layered, with good memories and bad, inspirations and disquieting events.

It’sthere, scattered among the polished granite monuments and others that are faded, cracked and broken, that the full measure of its story is felt. There are graves for those who lived long, full lives and graves of infants who died after afew hours, days, weeks or months. There are Confederate graves, and even one Union soldier is buried there. The grave of theUnknown Negro is theonly one where the race of the person —orpeople —buried is mentioned. Even so, that burial is as much apart of Castor Cemetery’shistory as the well-kept ones. The markers are asilent reminder that, like other country graveyards, Castor has stories to tell. Not all of them are inspiring or funny.Some of them are dispiriting or maddening. Some remembrances spark joy;some fuel somber reﬂection.

Unknown, yes. Butnot unimportant. Faimon A. RobertsIII can be reached at froberts@theadvocate.com.

WhenElonMusk andhis ﬁrst wife talked abouthow many childrentheywould have, Justine reportedly said she wanted oneor two.“But if Icould afford nannies, I’d like to have four.” Musk reportedly replied: “That’sthe difference between youand me. Ijust assume thatthere will be nannies.”

As was his wont on long ﬂights, Col Paul Tibbets, pilotingaB-29, puffed on his pipe as, 80 years ago, he transported humanity from one geopolitical era to another.His radio operator was watching for an “abort” signal if Japan surrendered before theB-29 reached its target.

Historian Antony Beevor,writing in Foreign Affairs, noted that Hiroshima and Nagasaki effectively ended “the first modern conflict in which far more civilians were killed than combatants.” Which suggests that technological virtuosity advanced as morality regressed. But,Beevor wrote, Japan’smilitary government was“preparedtosacrifice millionsofJapanese civilians by forcing them toresist an Allied invasion with only bamboo spearsand explosives strapped to their bodies. By 1944, some 400,000 civilians amonth weredying from famine in areas of East Asia, the Pacific, and Southeast Asia that wereoccupied by Japanese forces. The Allies also wanted to save the American,Australian, andBritish prisoners of war who were starving to death in Japanese camps or being slaughtered by their captors on Tokyo’sorders.”

10 nuclear powers instead of four,and by 1975,15or20.” Althoughthat did nothappen, nuclear proliferation could result from President Donald Trump’s McGovernite “comehome, America” impulse, hisdisdain for allies and skepticism about alliances.

Nations, from South Korea to Poland, that no longer feel protected under theU.S. nuclear umbrella might want their own.

Trump’svice president recently said theeruption of military violence between two implacably hostile nuclear powers, Indiaand Pakistan,was “fundamentally noneofour business.” Oh?

The United States has no serious stake in preserving the eight-decade norm against crossing the nuclear threshold?

Did JD Vance think Iran’snuclear ambitions were “fundamentally” none of our business when the administration of which heisanadornment sent the B-2s to Iran?

So, perhaps only serious militaryaction —war —can keep Iran out of the nuclear club. Iran might reasonably think that if Saddam Hussein had acquired nuclear weapons, Iraq would still hold Kuwait. Various potential nuclear powers have recently seen Vladimir Putin demonstratethe utilityofpossessing nuclear weapons: The Russian president has inhibited some forms of assistance to Ukraine by intimating the possible use of such weapons (e.g., moving some into Belarus).

Five months beforeHiroshima, a single night of incendiary U.S.bombing killed 100,000 in Tokyo. Twoatomic bombs probably reduced thewar’s quantity of violence and death. Consider this when reading M.G. Sheftall’s “Hiroshima: The Last Witnesses,” which chronicles the end of what he calls civilization’s“prenuclear innocence.” In aMarch 21, 1963, news conference, ﬁve months after theCuban missile crisis, President John F. Kennedy said, “Personally,Iamhaunted bythe feelingthatby1970 …there maybe

Thewar-shattered Soviet Union was prostrate when in August1949 —just 51 monthsafter the May 8, 1945, end of World WarIIinEurope —itdetonated anuclear weapon. China was apreindustrialpeasant societywith aper capita annual income of $85.50 when it becamea nuclear power in 1964. Pakistan had aper capita annual income of $424 when it became one in 1998. North Korea struggles to make shoes but is making missiles to deliver itsnuclear weaponsintercontinental distances.

Any sufﬁciently determined nation can acquire the know-how to join the nuclear club.Iran has been seriously determined for decades. Andwhen have economic sanctions caused a large nation (Iran’spopulation: 92.5 million) to surrender what it considered avital national securityinterest?

Johns Hopkins University’sHal Brands said, “China’snuclear force doubled between 2020 and 2023.” He says there is “anautocratic bloc more cohesive than anything the United States has faced in generations.”Three members(Russia, China, NorthKorea) are nuclear powers. Iran might become afourth. In 2004, Condoleezza Rice, President George W. Bush’snational security adviser,said the“international community” would not “allow theIranians to develop a nuclear weapon.”In2012, President Barack Obama said: “I do not have a policy of containment. Ihave apolicy to prevent Iran from obtaining anuclear weapon.” Seven years ago, Trump said, “There is no longer anuclear threat from NorthKorea.”

Thucydides said three things cause wars: honor,fear and interest. As of Wednesday,29,220 days will have passed since theﬁrst use of anuclear weapon, and 29,217 since thesecond What in humanity’scarnage-strewn history of honor-driven angers, rational and irrational fears, and ideologically deﬁned interestssuggeststhere will not be athird, and then others?

And that’salso the difference between the tech billionairesupinarms about ﬂatbirthratesand the many Americanswho feel they can’tafford children.

JD Vance, father of three, famously launchedinto the political opposition, complaining thatthe country wasbeing run by “a bunchofchildless cat ladies.” He hada networth estimatednorth of $10 million. His wife Usha is ahigh-powered corporate lawyer.

The Vances’use of nannies has been a tightly controlled secret. Usha didn’tleave herdemanding jobuntil mid-2024, when JD became Donald Trump’srunning mate. She statedshe wanted “to focus on caring for ourfamily.”

Do the math.

By the middle of 2024, their oldest child was about7,and the youngest wasatleast 2. We don’timagine that JD changed alot of diapers or thatUsha routinely brought her babiesinto the ofﬁces of Munger,Tolles& Olson. Musk is tooweird to hold him to the same hypocriticalstandards as Vance. Let it be noted, however, that he hasmarriedand divorced two other womensince Justine. He nowhas an estimated 14 children. They surely have no shortage of nannies, but fatherly attentionmay not be in great supply It would be no surprise that his adorable son X, on displayinhis father’sOvalOfﬁce visits, servedmainly as an accessory.(We look forward to X’smemoirs.)

Sufﬁceittosay,the sight of the superrichwaving ﬁngers of disapproval at the one-child or childless middle-class families is unappealing. Still, it’sworth pondering why so many younger men and women don’t want children.

The discussionisa long one, but it could include agrowing materialism and stress. Many young people don’twish to forgo vacations andfreetime to pursue family life It could be thatmany were the product of astressful divorce or no marriage to begin with. Theymay have sufferedrelated trauma theydon’t want to deliveronanyone else

It could even be prohibitions on abortion, which has made problematic pregnancies potentially life-threatening. (Blaming abortionitself doesn’twork. The abortion rate in the U.S. is well down from the levelof50 yearsago.)

Alack of affordable child caremay be a factor,though countries with that and other bountiful government beneﬁts are seeing a notable dropinbirths. The right-wing, allegedly family-friendly Project 2025 failed to advocatefor child care programs. It even calledfor ending Head Start.

Young people aresaidtobesuffering widespread depressionfor anumberofreasons. The result, some studiessay,islittle hope fora future that children represent. However,there is also debate about whether the falling birth rate is aserious crisis, especially in acountry with ahousing supply unable to keep up with demand. The U.S. nowhas about 350 millionpeople, 60 million more than it had in 2000. The population hasalmost doubled over the last 50 years.

Meanwhile, the richprinces of tech or ﬁnancecan “phone in” fatherhood from their beach housesorcountry châteaus, knowing thatwherevertheir kids may be, professionalchild carewill be abundant. It doesn’t even matter whether the mother —awife-, ex-wife or never-wife —isavailable to cover playdates There will be nannies. Those well down the economicscalefrom the Silicon billionairesknowthere won’tbe.

Carrying their weight

BY WILSON ALEXANDER Staff writer

Bernard Gooden ripped through a block and grabbed LSU running back Caden Durham around the shoulder pads before he could reach the line of scrimmage. The run was angled away from Gooden’s side of the defensive line, but he burst through the back side of the play and recorded a tackle for loss.

LSU practiced in full pads for the ﬁrst time this preseason Tuesday morning, and the defensive front stood out again, especially during a scrimmage period at the end of practice. Gooden a transfer defensive tackle from South Florida, had two tackles for loss. Florida transfer edge rusher Jack Pyburn added a sack and tackle for loss.

That has been a common sight throughout the ﬁrst week of camp. Although LSU’s offensive line played better Monday, the defense has dominated multiple 11-on-11 periods, including the ones Tuesday LSU coach Brian Kelly said most of the pressure has come from the interior linemen

“That’s a great thing when you have guys that are creating issues from the inside of the pocket, instead of just rushing off the edge where you can get a hand on him and widen it and step up. Where we’re getting our best success is inside-out.”

Depth & diversity

Tulane relying on multiple RBs to help replace Hughes

BY GUERRY SMITH Contributing writer

For the ﬁrst time in his four years as a coach, Jon Sumrall does not have a bell cow running back.

Still, Sumrall sees it as a potential strength rather than a weakness. Gone is Makhi Hughes, who transferred to Oregon after backing up his 1,378-yard breakout season under former coach Willie Fritz in 2023 with 1,401 yards on 265 carries in Sumrall’s Tulane debut.

No one on the roster resembles Kimani Vidal, a 5-foot-8, 215-pound tank who rushed for 1,132 yards at Troy in 2022 and followed with 1,661 yards on an FBS-leading 297 carries in 2023. In their place are ﬁve backs with different skill sets. At least four ﬁgure to get early playing time.

coach

“Where we’re getting our best success is inside-out.”

“When you add that to what we think is four guys that can play off the edge,” Kelly said, “you’ve got a pretty dynamic pass rush.”

OL concern?

It can be hard to tell in camp if one side of the ball dominating means the other has real problems. In 2023, preseason practice foreshadowed LSU’s issues in the secondary Does the defensive front playing this well now mean the offensive line won’t be able to protect quarterback Garrett Nussmeier or open up holes in the run game?

There are a lot of really good players.” Louisville transfer Maurice Turner and holdover junior Arnold Barnes are the leading candidates to start the Aug. 30 opener against Northwestern.

Saints rookie LB Stutsman making strong impression

BY LUKE JOHNSON Staff writer

Even after all he did in college a consensus All-American, first-team All-Southeastern Conference, Butkus Award finalist, 376 career tackles and 36 tackles for loss — Danny Stutsman didn’t generate a ton of pre-draft interest. In fact, the Saints were the only team to arrange a pre-draft visit Newly hired linebackers coach Peter Sirmon traveled to Norman, Oklahoma, to meet with Stutsman face-to-face. He never had to bother working around other teams’ schedules to get a sense of the player. And it was in that visit that Sirmon first got an inkling that Stutsman might have what it takes It wasn’t the obvious stuff like the size (6-foot-3, 233 pounds) or the speed. It was Stutsman’s mind

“I thought he had a real good mental capacity when I sat down with him before the draft,” Sirmon said, “and he’s continued to prove to me that was the correct assessment.”

A little less than two weeks into his ﬁrst training camp, Stutsman has been one of the most positive surprises of Saints training camp. He has mostly worked with the second-team defense but has also taken a few snaps with the regular starters. And when he’s on the ﬁeld, he stands out.

“I’ve been very pleased with how he’s handled himself,” Sirmon said “We’re getting him some reps, we’re getting him a lot of opportunities, so we’re trying to force feed that experience.”

The closing speed is evident, with Stutsman often arriving with violence to close down open lanes in the run game. He has shown a knack for playmaking in space, with a red-zone interception of quarterback Spencer Rattler and another leaping pass deﬂection in a recent practice. But, as Sirmon alluded to, the ability to process NFL game speed has also come quickly

Stutsman has been wearing the

The full schedule for coach Kim Mulkey and the LSU women’s basketball team was released. The slate features 15 home games and 12 away games.

The Tigers are slated to play in a Thanksgiving tournament for the ﬁfth straight season, this time in the U.S. Virgin Islands. For the first time since January 2005, LSU will play on a Saturday for a regular-season conference game, facing South Carolina on Feb. 14 at the PMAC.

LSU heads to New Orleans on Nov 17 to take on Tulane in a nonconference battle and returns to the city to play UNO on Dec. 7 at Lakefront Arena. Arguably the toughest nonconference game will be on Dec. 4 against Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium for the SEC-ACC Challenge. LSU does not play at South Carolina this regular season.

Bridgeman reapsfruitsofPGA Tour

Trump createstaskforce for LosAngeles Olympics

President Donald Trump on Tuesday established atask force on the 2028 Olympic Gamesbeing held in Los Angelesthat he said would ensure the event is “safe, seamless and historically successful.”

Hisrookie year on the PGA Tour was challenging enoughfor Jacob Bridgeman. He got in 20 tournaments, none of them majors or The Players Championship, $20 million signature events or theFedEx Cup playoffs. He played seven times in the fall and did just well enough to keep his heart rate down and his ranking inside the top 125 to keep his card. And then the PGA Tour approved aplan during the ﬁnal week of 2024 to reduce the number of players keepingtheir cards to 100.

“I think it makes it tougher and tougher on the rookies,” Bridgeman said.“Ifeel like my rookie year wasreallyhard, andthis one was probably harder because there were less cards.” Bridgeman said he was neutral toward the change. The purpose was to make sure anyone who hadacard could get into enough tournaments,and smaller fields in 2026 would keep roundsfrom not finishing because of darkness. And yes, it wouldbemore competitive than ever Camilo Villegas was chairman of Player Advisory Council that proposed the changes andacknowledged it would be harder to keep acard. “But if we perform, there’sanopportunitytomake an unbelievable living,” Villegas said. Bridgeman performed. He spoke Monday evening from Memphis, Tennessee, the first of three playoff events that determine the FedEx Cup champion. Bridgeman is No. 33 in the FedEx Cup, all but assured of staying in the top 50 to advance to the BMW Championship that will get him in all eight of the$20 million signature events next year The ultimate goal —East Lake forthe Tour Championship —is well within range. He is among 21 playersatthe TPCSouthwind who did not make it to the postseason ayear ago, all of them earning their way into

the top 70.

Bridgeman began his sophomore season without assurances of beinginany of the majorsor thesignatureevents.

He closed with a64atthe Cognizant Classic for arunner-up ﬁnish, getting him into Bay Hill andThe Players Championship. He sleptonthe lead the openingthree rounds at theValspar Championship and ﬁnished third, gettinghim into another signature eventatthe RBC Heritage.

He was among thelast three players off theFedEx Cup to ﬁll the ﬁeldatthe Truist Championship and tied for fourth, and his standingalso got him into the U.S.Open.

Bridgeman wound up playing ﬁvesignatureevents, two majors andThe Players. He felt it was adisadvantage at thestart. It turned into abig yearthat isn’t over just yet.

“Not being in those at the beginning of the year was tough,”

Bridgeman said.”Iwent through that last year.Iknew how that wasand played past all that and still kept my card. Ifelt like it was adisadvantage, for sure, but notthatitwas unattainable.

“I just knew if Iplayed well I’d

have achance,”hesaid. “That

was one my goals is playing a signature event early.Igot in the Arnold Palmer androde the wave all the way through.”

That’show it has been for the 25-year-old Bridgeman. He was No. 2inthe PGA Tour University his senior year at Clemson, which got him Korn Ferry Tour status. He spent 2023 on the developmental circuit and graduated to thePGA Tour

Bridgeman wrote down his goals for 2025, big and small, in ajournal. The main goal was to win. He’sstill waiting on that. He wanted at least four top 10s (check), make it to the FedEx Cup playoffs (check), get into the top 50 (one week away from another check) and get to East Lake for theTour Championship.

“It’s been nice to be able to check some of them off,” he said. Beinginall the signature events is an advantage, but not aguarantee. Fourteen players who ﬁnished in thetop 50 last year failed to makeittothe postseason, three of them because of injury —Billy Horschel, Will Zalatoris and Alex Noren.

Three players who were not among the top 50 last year —U.S.

Open champion J.J. Spaun, Harris English andBen Grifﬁn start the postseason in the top 10.

The turnover rate forthose who qualified forthe FedEx Cup playoffs was at 30% —21players finished in the top 70 whoweren’t in Memphis last year.That list includes multiple winners (Ryan Fox andBrian Campbell), firsttime winners (Ryan Gerard and Chris Gotterup), and veterans who got their games headed in theright direction (Rickie Fowler and Lucas Glover).

Andthen there’splayers like Bridgeman, Sam Stevens and Michael Kim, whostarted with nothing more than acard and now have realistic hopes of East Lake. The signature events were asource of consternation when they were ﬁrst introduced, mainly the uncertainty of alevel playing ﬁeld. J.T.Poston said it best at thestartof2023, and it still rings true today “Aslong as there’saway you still have to perform to stay in, and there’sanavenue forguys who aren’tintoplay their way in, Idon’tthink there’sanissue,” Poston said Turns out it wasn’tfor Bridgeman

So it comes as no surprise that McIlroy has decided to sit out the start of the PGA Tour postseason, amove he has telegraphed for a year.Itadds to apeculiar season of scheduling for McIlroy,who was intent on cutting back. He already missed two signature events at Hilton Head and Memorial (he also missed The Sentry at Kapalua, which he has played only once because he starts his year on the European Tour). But he added the RBC Canadian Open aweek after the Memorialand theweekbefore theU.S.Open.Healso chose to defend his title withShane Lowry at the Zurich Classic.

LSUFOOTBALLNOTES

BY KOKI RILEY AND REED DARCEY Staff writers

In December Garrett Nussmeier had abig decision to make.Would he return to LSU or take his chances and start his career at the next level?

It was alife-altering moment, but it wasn’tachoice he was going to make alone.

Nussmeier’s agent, Trace Armstrong from Athletes First agency, also helped inform in his decisionmaking process. Thatreality was apparent in the fourth episode of SEC Football: “Any Given Saturday,” Netﬂix’sSEC documentary, which was released on Tuesday

In the episode, Armstrong and LSU coach Brian Kelly are ﬁlmed having aconversation in Kelly’s car.

“If you’re not going to make money on this, let’ssee how this works for both of us, right?” Kelly said.

“Look, everybody’sgot to do the bestthey can for their clients,” Armstrong responded. “I think everybody understands that

“For us, we’re trying to protect guys thatcan helpuswin, and let’swork together,” Kelly stated.

“That’sall I’m saying.

“Yeah, we’ll ﬁgure it out,” Armstrong ﬁnally said.

Besides representing Nussmeier,Armstrong is also Kelly’s agent.

“Interesting world we live in,” Kelly said after hanging up the phone with Armstrong. “He’smy agent, but he’srepresenting play-

ers that are on my team.”

Nussmeier’sﬁnal call wasn’tan easy decision for him to make. Later in theepisode, Nussmeier and junior linebacker Whit Weeks have a conversation about hisimpending decision while playing EA Sports CollegeFootball 25.

“What are you thinking for next year?” Weeks asks.

“I don’tknow,bro,” Nussmeier responds.

“Have you been thinking about it alot more?” Weeks said, further interrogating his self-proclaimed best friend.

“I mean,obviouslythere’s pros and cons on both,” Nussmeier said.

Thefootage then cuts to asitdown interview with Nussmeier who then promulgates his dreams of being in the NFL and howdifﬁcult it is to turn down the opportunity to playatthe nextlevel.

“College is too fun to leave, man, come on,” Weeks said as the footage jumpsback to their conversa-

tion. “You only getthisopportunity once. If you come back, with all of theother dogs we got “Yeah,we’re going to have a good squad,” Nussmeier said. “Wecan’t mess aroundnext year,” Weeks said.

Ultimately,Weeks’words rang true with Nussmeier.The veteran quarterback is back in Baton Rouge for asecond season as the starter.Weeksisalso back and fully healthy after suffering adislocatedankle and fracturedtibia in theTexas Bowl.

LSUand Nussmeier beginthe season at Clemson on Aug. 30. Will Berryhavearole?

On Tuesday,LSU coaches gave one of their top recruits his ﬁrst taste of Southeastern Conference physicality.

And in return, running back HarlemBerry usedthe Tigers’ ﬁrst padded practice of preseason campto show Kelly andhis staff that he

can carve out arole in the offense as afreshman,though it may take sometime forhim to adjust to the size, strength andspeed of thebest defenses LSU will face. “Weall know his traits, right?” Kellysaid. “Verysmooth, he’s got elitespeed,catches theballwell. But there’satransition from high school to college.The tackling is different,the physicality is alittle bitdifferent.”

Kelly and his staff couldn’taffordtolet another program land Berry. Accordingto247Sports composite rankings, he wasaﬁvestar recruit rated as the top player in Louisiana, the top running back in thecountry andone of the nation’s 15 best prospects. He played his prepfootballinMetairie at St. Martin’sEpiscopal —aDistrict 101A school only 75 milessoutheast of LSU’scampus.

That level of high school football is afar cry from the kind played in the SEC. The defenders are much bigger,faster and stronger So, it maytake some time for Berry to adjust. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound freshman is longer and thinner than Caden Durham,the 5-9, 205-pound bruiser whoshed apair of armtacklestobreak away for a45-yard touchdown run in Tuesday’spractice.

“(Berry)isgetting used to that,” Kelly said. But LSU is still giving him ﬁrstteam reps early in camp—asign he may be ready to work ahead of junior Kaleb Jackson and freshman JT Lindsey in the Tigers’ running back rotation and complement Durham once the season begins.

“There’sa bit of atransition for him (from) high school tackling

(to) college tackling,” Kelly said, “so this is just aprocess for him andfor us. We really like him. We think he’sgoing to have to play for us this year,but there’s abit of a transition there in terms of learning the physicality that comes with playing here.”

Second-teamStar

Harold Perkins is entrenched as LSU’sﬁrst-team Star —the do-itall linebacker position inside the scheme run by defensive coordinator BlakeBaker.But who’s his backup? Who’snext in line?

Freshman linebacker CharlesRoss and fifth-year safety Jardin Gilbert appear to be the front-runners to step into the role should Perkins miss time. On Tuesday,Ross was grouped withPerkinsinindividual drills,alongside juniorsafety Austin Ausberry and freshman safety CJ Jimcoily.Gilbert practicedwiththe safeties.

What do they allhave in common?

“Great tacklers, guys that can keep the ball inside the defense,” Kellysaid. “They’ve gottobe rough-and-tumble kind of guys, if you will, and have the ability to reroute. Guys that play physical at that position but are athletic enough (to cover) the wide ﬁeld. They’ve got to keep the ball inside the defense.

“So thatisaunique player, right?”

Through sixpractices, Rosshas lined up with LSU’ssecond-team defense in team drills. Gilbert is competing fora starting safety spot with two transfers and two returners.

Rattlergetsmomentum in starting competition

QB takesmost firstteam reps again

So much for arotation

With their ﬁrst preseason game on Sunday,the Saints gave Spencer Rattler the majority of ﬁrstteam reps for the second straight day —the greatestindicator yet that there’sbeen ashift in the team’squarterback competition.

The battle isn’tover by any means— and rookie Tyler Shough worked with starters near the end of practice —but Rattler’sconsecutive sessions reﬂect how he appears to be ahead in this race.

The shift started Sunday when Rattler took the reps on amorning that was supposed to be Jake Haener’s turntobeupﬁrst.It continued Tuesday when the Saints reconvened following an off day, and the team again strayed from itsprevious plan of havingone quarterback take the starting reps per day

“He’sdoing areally good job,” coach Kellen Moore said of Rattler “He’s ﬁnding completions, doing areally good job of protecting the football. He does have some ability to play with his feet and that’sone thing that’sshown from his perspective is his ability to get out of some thingsat times.

“He’sdoing some good things.” Moore said the competition would still be evaluated “day by day” and he wasn’tready to name astarter for Sunday’s

Bucs sign quarterback Bridgewaterto1-yeardeal

BY ROBMAADDI AP pro football writer

TAMPA, Fla. Teddy Bridgewater is returning to the NFLwith the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers signedBridgewater to aone-year deal on Tuesday. The Buccaneersare the eighth team in 12 seasons for the 32-year-old Bridgewater Bridgewater coachedhis former high school in Miami to a Class3Astate championship lastfalland then returned to the NFLinlate December to serve as abackup to Jared Goff for the playoff-bound Lions.

He will provide insurance for the four-time defending NFC Southchampions behind Baker Mayﬁeld.

TheBuccaneersalso have veteran Kyle Trask, who has thrown 11 passesinfourseasonssince he was asecond-round pick in 2021.

Mayfield returnedtopractice Tuesday after missing acouple of days because of ahandcontusion Bridgewater said last month that he was suspendedfrom coaching Miami Northwestern High School because he provided players with financial benefits that he sayshereported to the school.

“I’m not going anywhere,” Bridgewater said on social media post. “And if it comes down to it, Iwill volunteer from thebleachers like Iused to in 2018 and 2019 when no one had aproblem.”

Bridgewater,aﬁrst-round pick by Minnesota in 2014, is 33-32 as astarter and made the Pro Bowl after his second season when he led the Vikings to an 11-5 record. He also spent time with the Jets, Saints, Panthers, Broncos and Dolphins.

Bridgewater has completed 66.4% of his passes for 15,120 yards, 75 touchdowns, 47 interceptions and a90.5 passer rating. Buccaneersoffensive coordinatorJoshGrizzard wasanassistant coach in Miami in 2022 when Bridgewater backed up TuaTagovailoa.Buccaneers defensiveline coach Charlie Strongwas Bridgewater’shead coach at Louisville. Tampa Bay’squarterback room also includes Michael Pratt and Connor Bazelak.

Pratt, aseventh-round pick out of Tulane by Green Bay in 2024 who signed to the Buccaneers’ practice squad last August, has been sidelined by aback injury Bazelak signed as an undrafted free agent outofBowling Green where he spent theﬁnaltwo of his six college seasons.

exhibition against theChargers. But Rattler appears to have the momentum after another practice.

Here’show the quarterbacksdid Tuesday:

Rattler: 6of10(72-107 overall)

Shough: 5of11with an INT (64-105)

Haener: 4of7(64-92)

This wasn’tRattler’ssharpest session, buthis best throw of theday was on abeautiful ball over themiddle to Rashid Shaheed Besides that, there were afew off throws —notably to Chris Olave on hisﬁrst series. It’salso noticeable how quickly Rattler can bail on thepocket, butthere’susually pressure theretoforce his hand. Shough’sday was also uneven, though once again, he appeared to be astep behind Rattler.When it was his turn to take reps with the starters, Shough did not take advantage.

He was almost picked off by safety Jordan Howden on his ﬁrst throw and then shortly after that, Howden got his interception by reading adeep ball that sailed past Olave. Perhaps Olavecould have tried to breakupthe play, but there also appeared to be too much on the passtobegin with.

That said, it is nicetosee Shough starting to becomemore aggressive. He looked hesitant forthe ﬁrst week ofcamp, which you’d expect forany rookie quarterback. Butlately,Shough hasbeen willing to ﬁre passes off. Just before his interception,

he patiently waited toclimb the pocket and then hit astreaking Dante Pettis across themiddle. It was asharp throw,one that highlighted the quarterback’stouch. Butifhewants to catch Rattler, he’ll also have tostartcutting down on his mistakes

As for Haener,his action was limited. But he let out a“Let’s go!”after hitting Bub Means on a crossing route deep down the ﬁeld. It was also agood moment for Means, who has had aquiet camp. Elsewhere, the Saints’ depthatwide receiver and along thewide receiver has become a concern. Several receivers dropped catchable passes Tuesday and in general, there’sa notable lack of separation when Olaveand Shaheed aren’tonthe ﬁeld.

Up front, the Saints experimented with someoftheir backup lines by seeing what guard DillonRadunz looked like at left tackle and undrafted free agend Torricelli Simpkins looked like at center.As aresult of the changes, theteam moved tackle Landon Young and center Kyle Hergel to guard.

Moore explained theshiftsas part of preparing players to play multiple positions in case of injuries. Andwhile that’scertainly part of it,the Saintscouldn’tbe blamed if they moved around afew spots because they were unsatisﬁed withhow thesecondand third-string lines have performed since camp began.

No matter who the Saints end up starting at quarterback, that passer will need all the help he can get.

Buthealso understandsplaying in the NFL is no walk in the park. So his conﬁdence is also supported by an understanding thatthe safety net is gone once the paychecks are beingsigned.

“Wake up withthatsense of pressure that you have to performnow,”Stutsman said. “It’s not like college where if you mess up, they’rekeeping you around, you’ve got your scholarship, you’re safe. Now,ifyou mess up, you’re going home andyou’re packing your bags.That’s real that’show it is. “So you’ve got to have that drive, that sense, like look,this is what Idofor aliving now.This is my passion, this is my joy, this is why Iwake up in themorning. That motivates me to be on edge every single day.”

The Eastbank Little League AllStarteam waslooking to reach the Little League World Seriesin Williamsport, Pennsylvania, but had to win the Southwest Region championship game. Based in Kenner,the Eastbank All-Stars representing Louisiana were taking on the Lamar Little League All-Stars based in Richmond, Texas, who represented Texas East in Tuesday’sSouthwest Region championship game in

MLBstarterssee increasedworkload

Some teamsseeking to make playoffs not limiting innings

BY JAYCOHEN Associated Press

CHICAGO At age 34, Matthew

Boyd is going back to what was once familiar territory forthe left-hander.Hehas logged1302/3 innings so far in his ﬁrst season with the Chicago Cubs, more than he totaled in the previous two years combined.

It’saworkload jumpthat goes against what had become conventional wisdom in the majors, where teams have frequently capped pitchers’ innings in hopes of keeping them healthy

“Things have been goinggreat,” Boyd said. “And Ithink it’slike none of us know what’sahead. And that goes for everybody.”

Boyd’sworkload is worth watchingasthe Cubs try to rally in the NL Central race andgoona deep October run. He is among agroup of pitchers going throughaspike in innings in the heart of theplayoffpicture.

After spending most of his career as areliever,Clay Holmes has1171/3 innings going into his 23rd start for the Mets on Tuesday night. Phillies left-hander Jesús Luzardo is up to 127 innings after he ﬁnished with 662/3 last year.AllStars Garrett Crochet of the Red Soxand Bryan Wooofthe Mariners also areprogressing toward major increases.

“That’ssomething we always monitor and watch,”Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. “I know we’re in constant communication in between starts.”

The days of predetermined innings limits,especiallywhen it comes to young prospects and pitchers on losing teams, aren’t going away anytime soon. But more organizations appear to be going with acase-by-case approach.

“I think the reason why it’s changedalittle bit and we don’t look at that either percentage increase or ﬁxed innings increase is because it wasn’t working,” said David Stearns, the president of baseball operations for theMets.

“I think more and more we’re trying to treat eachpitcher as an individual. And if apitcherfeels good both subjectively andobjectively,wetry not to artiﬁcially shut them down.” Crochet,26, helped show what might be possible last year. The 6-foot-6 left-hander,who had Tommy Johnsurgery in April 2022, began last seasonwith 73 innings in 72 appearances spanning four

seasons with the White Sox.

He made his first big league start on opening day.With the White Sox closely monitoring his workload in the last part of the season,heﬁnished with32starts and146 innings. He is tied for the major league lead with 1411/3 innings going into Tuesday night’s start against Kansas City

“I thinkthatIreally set myself up for this season to go out there and for there really to be no leash necessary,” said Crochet, whowas traded tothe Red Sox in Decemberand then agreed to a$170 million, six-year contract. “I’vebeen feeling really good throughout the season and theﬁve days in betweenmystarts Ireally feel like

I’mprepared anddoing alot to getmybody in the right position to have success and tocontinue to give lengththroughout theyear.”

Boyd was recovering from Tommy John surgery whenhesigned with Cleveland lastyear.Hereturned to themajors last August andwent 2-2 with a2.72 ERAin eight starts and 392/3 innings for the Guardians.Healso pitched 112/3 innings for theALCentral champions in the playoffs That was enough for Chicago to give Boyda$29 million, two-year contract in free agency.And he has delivered so far,making the NL All-Star team while going 11-4 with a2.34 ERA in 22 starts. Boyd pitched acareer-high

1851/3 innings forDetroit in 2019, but he hasn’t approached that territory since. The Cubs gave him nine days off between starts over theAll-Star break,and Boyd has frequent conversations with manager Craig Counselland pitching coach TommyHottovy about his workload andhow he is feeling.

The Cubs also have rookie righthander CadeHorton, whoisupto 1022/3 innings this season —including his time with Triple-A Iowa after he totaled 341/3 innings in the minors last year

“This is an area where theindustry hasnot maybe ﬁguredout the answer,soyou’rejust trying to keep getting better answers,” Counsell said. “I think in the past, we were just relying on history Ithink nowwe’re relying on the data we collect from the actual player.”

Communication is one thing, but an array of metrics andbiomechanicalanalysis is at thecenterof the decision-making process when it comes to pitchers and rest.

“There’stangible things that you just keepaneye on,” Boyd said. “You have your spin data, you have your velocity.Wehavebiomechanics tracking. It’slike, ‘Hey, the mechanics are getting out of whack Is there something we need to address? How do you address that?’

“There’ssomanydifferent avenues you cangodown and levers you can pullifyou will. And it’s not as cut and dry as like, 20% increase,50% increase (in innings).”

The Eastbank All-Stars’ postseason run cametoanend after a promising 3-0start in Southwest Regionplay. Eastbank’slasttrip to Williamsport in 2019 resulted in Louisiana’s ﬁrst Little League World Series champion.

Ledet, who has been an Eastbank coach since 2022, received akidney transplant six months ago and wasrecently cleared to ﬂy had his team been able to reachWilliamsport.

What’s thehighestand bestuse for apop-up? Some serve as an amenity to the hostvenue, which is ﬁne and sometimes agodsend when you need bar food and there they are cooking it. Butthenthere arepop-ups thathave made their ownniche with food that’soriginal or just woefully underrepresented at local restaurants. These are the pop-ups you’d seek out anywherethey call home. That’sthe case with Matchbook Kitchen, with chef Justin Bruhl’sfresh read on Asian ﬂavors. But my last visit made me doubly glad MatchbookKitchen calls the kitchen at Barrel Proof (1201 Magazine St.) home.

The Barrel Proof old-fashioned is ahouse signaturefor areason. It’snot toofancy,balanced and strong, not messed aroundwith, and it instantly helpsredeemthe things that might be adrag about Mondays.

When you’re comparing plans ...

 Look forcoveragethat helps pay formajor services. Some plansmay limitthe numberof procedures —orpay forpreventive care only.

In NewOrleans, it is calledBastille Day, and takesonahearty celebratory spirit.

n Recognition in the Résidence

The Consul General of France Rodolphe Sambou extended an invitation to celebrate Bastille Day, July 14, in the Résidence de France, where he lives with his family.Those invited came from theranks of business, education, the consular corps, the arts, and the French community and related organizations. Guests approaching theFrench Residency in theGarden District (just afew blocks from Alliance Française) felt thepresence of the host country even before entering the house. On thefence were bows, alternating in blue, white and red, and at the front door was a “Bienvenue” sign of welcome. Within, thecolors were repeated in smaller and larger ﬂoral arrangements, ribboned runners on bar tables, andseveral outﬁts of attendees. Chez Nous catered with savory and sweet selections and Champagne was popped.

At 6:10 p.m. during thetwo-hour event, Consul General Sambou stood in front of the ﬂags of Louisiana, the U.S., France and the European Union toaddress theFrancophile crowd,concluding with “Vive la France, Vive la Louisiane.” Sarah Mahoney sangthe national anthems of the States and France, and sponsors Maurice French Pastries, Fleur LA Imports, Stat,and Southern Eagle received a grand merci Recognized, too, was Jacques Baran,who is leaving the Consulate after four years of service. Rodolphe Sambou thanked him forhis professionalism and friendship.

The Heritage School of Music provided thejazzy scintillation and will be traveling to France under the auspices of the NewOrleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation.

Making her rounds, as did dozens, was Christine LeBlanc, who, earlier that day was part of the gathering of the Council of French Societies of New Orleans. They met for awreath-laying at the Place de France in the Vieux Carré and then broke bread with aFrancophone ﬂock at Lost Coyote Restaurant.

to life after spending many years dormant. It had once been used as astudio for WWL-TV,headquartered next door,and was largely ablank slate when Hinds took over

As Effervescence, it was an elegant addition to arising tide of new businesses bringing some life back to Rampart Street on the edge of the French Quarter

While Champagne bar is shorthand for the concept, the list of wines is deep with avast variety of sparkling wines, from affordable explorations to baller splurges.

Amenu from chefs Brenna Sanders and Evan Ingram has bites to pair with wine, and Effervescence was known for its caviar bagel brunch.

Anew hospitality business is poised to open in its place,though Hinds said she wasn’table to provide details yet.

“I love what’shappening with Rampart Street, Ithink some young new blood can give it the pop it needs, coming out of COVID and the Hard Rock collapse,” she said, referring to the deadly hotel construction site collapsethat saw Rampart Street closed at Canal for two years in its aftermath.

While she determined it was time to retire, she acknowledged the ups and downs of the hospitality business in the French Quarter,with the tough summer slump, brought that decision sooner Still, she called the years running Effervescence “a dreamcome true.”

“I had no restaurant experience, but New Orleans embraced us,” Hinds said “I’m leaving with much more joy than Iever imagined.” Effervescence will be winding down over the next few weeks, with the ﬁnal brunch on Aug. 17 and

the last day of business on Aug.24.
