Scientists get peek inside of exploding star

NEW YORK — Scientists for the ﬁrst time have spotted the insides of a dying star as it exploded, offering a rare peek into stellar evolution. Stars can live for millions to trillions of years until they run out of fuel. The most massive ones go out with a bang in an explosion called a supernova. Using telescopes that peer deep into space, researchers have observed many such explosions. The cosmic outbursts tend to jumble up a dying star’s layers, making it hard for scientists to observe the inner structure. But that wasn’t the case for the new discovery, a supernova called 2021yfj located more than 2 billion light years from Earth. The collapsing star’s outermost layers of hydrogen and helium had peeled away long ago, which wasn’t surprising. But the star’s dense, innermost layers of silicon and sulfur had also shed during the explosion. “We have never observed a star that was stripped to this amount,” said Northwestern University’s Steve Schulze, who was part of the discovery team that published the research Wednesday in the journal Nature. The ﬁnding lends evidence to ideas scientists have about how large stars look near the end of their lives, organized into layers with lighter elements on the outside and heavier ones close to the core.

Firefighters try to corral California forest blaze FRESNO, Calif. — Firefighting crews tried to corral a fastgrowing blaze churning through central California’s Sierra National Forest as forecasters warned Tuesday that lightning strikes from thunderstorms could spark new ignitions. Since breaking out Sunday afternoon, the Garnet Fire has scorched 14 square miles of grass, chaparral and timber in a remote area known for camping and hiking about 60 miles east of Fresno. There was no containment. Firefighters were aided by scattered rain showers as they worked to protect the tiny Balch Camp community and nearby hydroelectric facilities along the Kings River, according to a Tuesday incident report. “However, continued strong, erratic winds on top of dry, heavy vegetation will likely test containment efforts,” the report said. Parts of central and northern California are under red flag warnings for increased fire threat from dry lightning that could accompany thunderstorms, the National Weather Service said. The 10-square-mile Pickett Fire in Napa County wine country saw little growth Monday as crews kept ﬂames contained to canyons about 80 miles north of San Francisco. It was 17% contained on Tuesday. There have been no reports of damage to any vineyards from the ﬁre, a spokesperson for the trade group Napa Valley Vintners said Monday.

2 tropical storms churn over open waters MIAMI — Tropical storms Juliette and Fernand churned Tuesday over open waters, one in the Paciﬁc Ocean and one in the Atlantic, at the same time as some officials continued to deal with the aftermath of the massive Hurricane Erin which neared the northern Caribbean and U.S. last week. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect for either storm, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said. Tropical Storm Juliette posed no immediate threat to land, forecasters said. The storm was in the Pacific about 500 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. It had maximum sustained winds of 70 mph. In the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Fernand also was far from land and forecast to remain over open ocean waters. On Tuesday, it was about 635 miles south of Newfoundland with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph and heading northeast at 13 mph.

Israel says Gaza strikes targeted Hamas camera 20 were killed in hospital attack

BY WAFAA SHURAFA, MELANIE LIDMAN and SAMY MAGDY Associated Press

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — The Israeli military said Tuesday that its double strike on a Gaza hospital that killed 20 people targeted what it believed was a Hamas surveillance camera. But the first strike killed a cameraman from the Reuters news agency doing a live television shot, according to witnesses and health officials. The military released its initial findings into the strike, offering no immediate explanation for striking twice and no evidence for an assertion that six of the dead were militants, including two who were identified by their employers as a health care worker at the hospital and an emergency services driver. The dead also included five journalists. The military said the back-toback strikes on southern Gaza’s largest hospital were ordered because soldiers believed militants were using the camera to observe Israeli forces. But its account appeared to contradict the sequence of events in Monday’s attack on Nasser Hospital.

A senior Hamas official denied that Hamas was operating a camera at the hospital. “If this claim was true, there are many means to neutralize this camera without targeting a health care facility with a tank shell,” Bassem Naim, a member of the group’s political bureau, told The Associated Press in a phone interview. An initial strike hit a top floor of one of the hospital’s buildings. Reuters cameraman Hussam alMasri was killed in that blast while filming from the site, according to a fellow journalist and a doctor at the hospital. Hospital officials said a second person, who has not been identified, was also killed in the first strike. Health workers, journalists and relatives of patients then rushed up an external staircase to reach the site of the first blast. Photos taken from below showed at least 16 people gathered on the staircase, trying to help those hit. Among them were four men wearing the orange vests of emergency responders or health workers. No one on the staircase was seen holding weapons. Video footage taken by Al-Ghad TV shows the second strike hitting, causing a large boom and engulfing everyone on the staircase in smoke. Hospital officials say 18 people were killed in the second

strike. The military did not elaborate on why it struck a second time or how it would have identified militants among the crowd on the staircase. Its statement was issued after an initial inquiry into the attack, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a “tragic mishap.” Among the six people killed Monday that Israel claimed were militants were Jumaa al-Najjar, a health care worker at Nasser Hospital, and Imad al-Shaar, a driver with Gaza’s civil defense agency, which operates under the Hamasrun Interior Ministry, according to the agency and Nasser hospital’s casualty list. Without offering evidence, Israel has in the past identified emergency responders that work under the Hamas-run government as militants to be targeted, including in the killing of 15 medics in March, when Israeli troops opened fire on ambulances in southern Gaza. The military’s chief of general staff acknowledged several “gaps” in the investigation so far, including the kind of ammunition used to take out the camera. The initial findings emerged Tuesday as a surge of outrage and unanswered questions mounted, after international leaders and rights groups condemned the strikes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged, they announced Tuesday. In a ﬁve-photo joint post on Instagram, the superstar singer and football player revealed their engagement, the fairy tale culmination of a courtship that for two years has thrilled and fascinated millions around the world, but especially Swifties, the pop star’s enormous and ardent fan base. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the caption read, accompanied by an emoji of a dynamite stick. Kelce was a famous football player when they met — a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and a Super Bowl champion — but Swift’s unique level of fame catapulted him into a different orbit entirely. Their relationship was documented in countless shots of Swift celebrating at Chiefs games and fan videos of Kelce dancing along at Swift’s “Eras” concert tour as it traveled the globe. There were those who speculated, with no evidence, that the relationship was not genuine but a cynical ploy for more fame, while some even theorized it was a plot to inﬂuence the U.S. elections. In the end, those voices were quieted by a happy couple who simply looked in love — now with an engagement ring rivaling the size of Kelce’s three Super Bowl rings. It’s unclear when and where the two, both 35, got engaged. Representatives

BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE — A U.S. Air Force command says nearly all of its Sig Sauer M18 pistols can be safely carried at nuclear weapons sites after the death of an airman sparked a monthlong pause and safety inspection of the handguns. Sig Sauer is currently facing lawsuits over unintentional discharge claims about the civilian version of the pistol, the P320. Other military branches kept using the M18 while the Air Force Global Strike Command reviewed whether its inventory was safe. The command found 191 of its handguns needed repairs, mostly for wear to their safety lever, striker assembly or sear, which is part of the trigger mechanism, the Air Force said. Nearly 8,000 M18s passed inspection. Security forces at bases were able to use M18s again as of Monday, the Louisiana-based command said in a news release, and enhanced inspection procedures for the guns will be implemented. “It is paramount that our Airmen trust their weapon systems,” Gen. Thomas Bussiere, the AFGSC commander, said in the news release. A review of weapon discharges showed that none were attributed to weapons malfunction, the news release said. Lawsuits against Sig Sauer allege the P320 pistol can go off without the trigger being pulled. The New Hampshire-based gunmaker denies the claims, saying the pistol is safe and the problem is user error. It has prevailed in some cases. The pause was enacted on July 21, a day after the death of Brayden Lovan of the 90th Security Forces Squadron, 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base outside Cheyenne. The 21-year-old airman began his first active-duty assignment at the base in November 2023. An unidentified airman was arrested on suspicion of making a false official statement, obstruction of justice and involuntary manslaughter, the Air Force said earlier this month.

for Swift and Kelce did not immediately respond to The Associated Press’ request for comment on that detail, though Swift publicist Tree Paine conﬁrmed the engagement ring was an old mine brilliant-cut diamond from Kindred Lubeck. Scarcely over an hour later, Kelce was stretching for practice in Kansas City, Missouri. The Chiefs do not anticipate making Kelce available until next week in Brazil, where they open the season against the Chargers in Sao Paulo. It’s been just two weeks since Swift — and Kelce — last ignited a media frenzy, with the announcement of her new album, “The Life of a Showgirl.” (It comes out Oct. 3.) Kelce and his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, assisted Swift with the rollout, hosting her on their typically football-oriented podcast, “New Heights.” During the episode, she likened her career to her now-ﬁancé’s, saying their jobs were “to entertain people for three hours in NFL stadiums.”

Trucker crash prompts review of state funding Investigation launched over deadly U-turn

BY JOSH FUNK

AP transportation writer California, Washington and New Mexico could lose millions of dollars of federal funding if they continue failing to enforce English language requirements for truckers, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Tuesday. An investigation launched after a deadly Florida crash involving a foreign truck driver who made an illegal U-turn on Aug. 12 found what Duffy called significant failures in the way all three states are enforcing rules that took effect in June after one of President Donald Trump’s executive orders. He said the department was also already reviewing how states were enforcing the rules before the crash. Truckers are supposed to be disqualified if they can’t demonstrate English proficiency and Duffy said the driver involved in the crash that killed three should not have ever been given a commercial driver’s license because of his immigration status. But the crash has become increasingly political with the governors of California and Florida criticizing each other and Duffy highlighting the Trump administration’s immigration concerns in interviews. But Duffy said Tuesday that it is a safety issue — not a political one — because truckers need to understand road signs and be able to communicate with law enforcement about what they are hauling if they are pulled over or what happened if there is an accident.

Harjinder Singh is escorted onto an airplane by Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins and law enforcement on Aug. 21 in Stockton, Calif. “This is about keeping people safe on the road. Your families, your kids, your spouses, your loved ones, your friends. We all use the roadway, and we need to make sure that those who are driving big rigs — semis — can understand the road signs, that they’ve been well trained,” Duffy said. The Transportation Department said California has conducted roughly 34,000 inspections that found at least one violation since the new language standards took effect requiring truck drivers be able to recognize and read road signs and communicate with authorities in English. But only one inspection involved an English language rules violation that resulted in a driver being taken out of service. And 23 drivers with violations in other states were allowed to continue driving after inspections in California. He cited similar statistics for the other states with Washington finding more than 6,000 violations of safety rules during inspections, but only pulling four drivers out of service for English

language violations. New Mexico has not placed any drivers out of service since the rules took effect. Duffy said the states will lose money from the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program if they don’t comply with the rules within 30 days. Duffy said California could lose $33 million, Washington could lose $10.5 million and New Mexico could lose $7 million. California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office said on the social platform X that the Trump administration is just trying to deflect responsibility for the crash. Washington’s governor declined to comment until after officials review Duffy’s letter, and New Mexico officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment. “This is rich. The Trump Administration approved the federal work permit for the man who killed 3 people — and now they’re scrambling to shift blame after getting caught. Sean’s nonsense announcement is as big a joke as the Trump Administration itself,” Newsom’s office said.

In deal, U.S. wants to deport Abrego Garcia to Uganda BY RODNEY MUHUMUZA Associated Press

KAMPALA, Uganda — The highest-profile detainee that the United States seeks to deport, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, appears to be headed to Uganda, where critics claim that a deal with the Trump administration eases political pressure on a president who’s ruled for nearly four decades. Ugandan officials have released few details about the agreement but have said they prefer to receive deportees of African origin — and don’t want people with criminal records. Abrego Garcia is an El Salvador native who has been charged with human smuggling. He has pleaded not guilty. Abrego Garcia, the subject of a protracted immigration saga, was detained again Monday by immigration officials in the U.S., and the Department of Homeland Security said he “is being processed for removal to Uganda.” Other African nations already have accepted deportees. In July, the U.S. deported five men with criminal backgrounds to the southern Af-

rican kingdom of Eswatini and sent eight others to South Sudan, where civil war threatens to erupt again. Rwanda has said it will receive up to 250 migrants deported from the U.S. Opposition ﬁgures and others in Uganda on Tuesday questioned the lack of parliamentary approval for the agreement. Without such oversight, “the whole scheme stinks,” said Mathias Mpuuga, until recently the leader of the opposition in Uganda’s national assembly. He said the agreement left him “a little perplexed” because Uganda already struggles to look after refugees ﬂeeing violence in neighboring countries like Congo and South Sudan. He suggested the agreement makes sense only as a matter of “economic expediency” for Uganda’s government. It is unclear what Uganda’s government is receiving for accepting deportees, how many it might take or what its plans for Abrego Garcia might be. The country’s attorney general, as well as government ministers in charge of refugees and internal affairs, were not immediately available for comment.

President threatens to deploy troops to Chicago Residents point to downward crime trend

BY CHRISTINE FERNANDO, SOPHIA TAREEN and OBED LAMY Associated Press

CHICAGO — President Donald Trump’s threats to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago sent ripples through America’s thirdlargest city as many residents defended their home against Trump’s escalating rhetoric toward its violent crime, including claims it is a “killing field.” The threat of federal troops stirred a mix of fear, frustration and defiance for residents as they pointed to historic drops in violent crime. Groups constantly pressing for police reform said sending troops who lack training in de-escalating violence or any knowledge about the nuances of neighborhoods still grappling with violent crime would undo progress made in recent years. The sentiment was echoed by people going about their day — commuters heading to work, cyclists weaving through traffic, and friends pausing to take photos along Michigan Avenue — who said the presence of troops would only heighten tensions, not ease them. “It’s a direct affront to the progress our communities have made,” said Bradly Johnson, who leads BUILD Chicago. The anti-violence organization focuses its efforts on neighborhoods on the city’s West Side that have seen persistent crime, even as rates overall have fallen. “It’s not a war zone,” Johnson said. “They’re vibrant resilient communities where young people de-

serve opportunities and not intimidation.” On Tuesday, Trump called Chicago a “hell hole” and repeated that Chicagoans are asking “Trump to c o m e i n ” Trump to reduce crime in the city. The statements echoed comments earlier this month when Trump indicated Chicago may be next for a federal crackdown, claiming Chicago is “a mess” and residents are “screaming for us to come.” Trump has long singled out Chicago, making it a recurring theme on the campaign trail in both 2016 and 2024. He has drawn controversial comparisons between the city and war zones like Afghanistan, and in 2017, he vowed to “send in the feds” in response to gun violence. But data paints a more nuanced picture of crime — one that varies dramatically block by block and that has seen recent progress. Violent crime in Chicago dropped signiﬁcantly in the ﬁrst half of the year, representing the steepest decline in over a decade, according to city data. Shootings are down 37%, and homicides have dropped by 32%, while total violence crime dropped by over 22%. “The empirical data is very clear that the Chicago trend is extremely positive,” said John Roman, who directs the Center on Public Safety and Justice at the University of Chicago. ”... Chicago is doing better than the rest of the country on a lot of really important measures.” Crime in Chicago also represents persistent, localized challenges, said Kimberley

Smith, director of national programs for the University of Chicago Crime Lab. The neighborhoods with the highest homicide rates experience about 68 times more homicides than those with the lowest rates. Smith attributes much of the drops in violent crime to a focus in Chicago on the systemic drivers of violence, rather than the militaristic approach Trump has touted in Washington, D.C. She encouraged more federal investment in researching these types of violenceprevention strategies, calling Chicago “a hub for innovation in gun violence prevention.” Jahmal Cole, founder of the community organization My Block, My Hood, My City, said Trump’s comments “erase this work being done on the ground by local leaders, community organizations and residents themselves” to combat gun violence. “As for Trump’s remarks, it’s worth remembering that rhetoric alone doesn’t improve public safety,” he said. “We need smart, community-focused investments, not sensationalism.” As a show of unity against the move, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a potential 2028 presidential contender, convened roughly 100 elected officials, pastors, business leaders and activists Pritzker at a splashy news conference against the backdrop of gleaming skyscrapers along the Chicago River. The attendees Monday ranged from U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, to the Rev. Michael Pﬂeger, a wellknown Catholic priest in the city.

Texas election map for 2026 is racially biased, suit says By The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — Voting-rights advocates sued Tuesday to overturn a redistricting map drawn by Texas Republicans meant to favor the party in the 2026 midterm elections, saying it weakens the electoral inﬂuence of Black voters. The NAACP and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law ﬁled the lawsuit in Texas. They accuse Texas legislative leaders of engaging in gerrymandering to prevent Black voters from electing candidates of their choice. “The state of Texas is only 40% White, but White voters control over 73% of the state’s congressional seats,” Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP, said in a statement. “It’s quite

obvious that Texas’s effort to redistrict mid-decade, before next year’s midterm elections, is racially motivated. The state’s intent here is to reduce the members of Congress who represent Black communities, and that, in and of itself, is unconstitutional.” Since the Voting Rights Act was adopted, the state of Texas has been found to have discriminated against Black and/or Brown citizens after every cycle of redistricting, according to the NAACP. Black residents for decades have overwhelmingly favored Democratic candidates. Texas lawmakers approved the map Saturday, adding five new districts favoring Republicans. The move came after President

Donald Trump requested it. The effort by Trump and Texas’ Republican-majority Legislature prompted state Democrats to hold a twoweek walkout and kicked off a wave of redistricting efforts across the country. California Gov. Gavin Newsom in response has approved a special election for a redrawn map to help Democrats win more seats. Republican Sen. Phil King, the Texas measure’s sponsor, previously denied accusations alleging that the redrawn districts violate the Voting Rights Act by diluting voters’ inﬂuence based on race. “I had two goals in mind: That all maps would be legal and would be better for Republican congressional candidates in Texas,” he said.

A towering wall of dust hundreds of feet high, known as a haboob, begins to cover Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Monday.

After dust storm rips through Phoenix area, cleanup begins BY ROSS FRANKLIN and HALLIE GOLDEN Associated Press

PHOENIX — Crews cleaned up downed trees and got power mostly restored for thousands of people Tuesday after a powerful dust storm roared through the Phoenix area. The wall of dust towering hundreds of feet high dwarfed the city’s neighborhoods. Called a haboob, the wind-driven phenomenon blackened skies and knocked out electricity for 15,000 customers late Monday afternoon. Drenching rain followed. Flights came to a halt at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, where material from a terminal roof blew onto the tarmac. But by Tuesday afternoon things were mostly back to normal, with only about 100 people still without power in Maricopa

Bernae Boykin Hitesman was driving her son and daughter, ages 9 and 11, home from school when the storm arrived in Arizona City, about 60 miles southeast of Phoenix. She quickly pulled over as the storm engulfed the car. “I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face if I put my hand outside,” she said. Boykin Hitesman could taste the dust and feel the strong wind rattling her car until it finally passed about 15 minutes later. “I was nervous,” she said. “My kids were really, really scared, so I was trying to be brave for them.” Bird feeders fell from

swaying trees at the home of retired university professor Richard Filley in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert. Fine dust got into “every little crack and space,” he said. “The windstorm part of it, I’m glad it’s gone,” he said. “You look at the photos of haboobs, and they are a spectacular natural phenomenon. They are kind of beautiful in their own way.” A weather front or thunderstorm can cause a haboob. The phenomenon usually happens in ﬂat, arid areas and is not unusual in Arizona. Phoenix has been drier than usual during the monsoon season, while parts of southeast and northcentral Arizona have had a fair amount of rain, according to Mark O’Malley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Phoenix.

Embattled Fed governor fights to keep job BY CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP economics writer

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook will sue President Donald Trump’s administration to try to prevent him from firing her, her lawyer said Tuesday. “President Trump has no authority to remove Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook,” said Abbe Lowell, a longtime Washington lawyer who has represented figures from both major political parties. “His attempt to fire her, based solely on a referral letter, lacks any factual or legal basis. We will be filing a lawsuit challenging this illegal action.” Trump’s unprecedented effort to fire Cook is likely to end up at the Supreme Court and could more clearly define the limits of the president’s legal authority over the traditionally independent institution. The Fed exercises expansive power over the U.S. economy by adjusting a short-term interest rate that can influence broader borrowing costs for things like mortgages, auto loans and business loans. The Federal Reserve weighed in Tuesday for the first time on the firing, saying it would “abide by any court decision.” The Fed also defended its independence from politics: “Congress, through the Federal Reserve Act, directs that governors serve in long, fixed terms and may be removed by the president only ‘for cause,’ ” the central bank said. “Long tenures and removal protections for governors serve as a vital safeguard, ensuring that monetary policy decisions are based on data, economic analysis, and the long-term interests of the American people.” A spokesperson said the Fed has deferred any decision on Cook’s working status and added that there is no official business before the board this week. But the Fed’s statement

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, left, talks with Board of Governors member Lisa Cook during an open meeting of the Board of Governors at the Federal Reserve on June 25. did not explicitly criticize Trump’s decision to fire her. Trump, a Republican, has repeatedly demanded that Chair Jerome Powell and the Fed’s rate-setting committee cut its rate to boost the economy and reduce interest payments on the government’s $37 trillion debt pile. If Trump succeeds in removing Cook from the Fed’s board of governors, it could erode the Fed’s political independence, which is considered critical to its ability to fight inflation because it enables the Fed to take unpopular steps like raising interest rates. Trump appointed two members of the board, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, in his first term and has named Steven Miran, a top White House economist, to replace Gov. Adriana Kugler, who stepped down unexpectedly Aug. 1. If Miran’s nomination is approved by the Senate and Trump is able to replace Cook, he would have a 4-3 majority on the Fed’s board. Trump criticized Powell at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday and said, ”We’ll have a majority very shortly” on the Fed.” The Fed’s board oversees financial regulations and also votes on all interest rate decisions. Five of the Fed’s

12 regional bank presidents also have a vote, with one of those five always being the New York Fed and the other four serving on a rotating basis. Legal experts say the Republican president’s claim that he can fire Cook, who was appointed by Democratic President Joe Biden in 2022, is on shaky ground. But it’s an unprecedented move that hasn’t played out in the courts before, and the Supreme Court this year has been much more willing to let the president remove agency officials than in the past. “It’s an illegal firing, but the president’s going to argue, ‘The Constitution lets me do it,’ ” said Lev Menand, a law professor at Columbia University and author of a book about the Fed. “And that argument’s worked in a few other cases so far this year.” Menand said the Supreme Court construes the Constitution’s meaning, and “it can make new constitutional law in this case.” Bill Pulte, a Trump appointee to the agency that regulates mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, made the accusations last week. Pulte alleged that Cook had claimed two primary residences — in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and in

Atlanta — in 2021 to get better mortgage terms. Mortgage rates are often higher on second homes or those bought to rent. The most likely next step for Cook is to seek an injunction against Trump’s order that would allow her to continue her work as a governor. But the situation puts the Fed in a difficult position. “They have their own legal obligation to follow the law,” Menand said. “And that does not mean do whatever the president says. ... The Fed is under an independent duty to reach its own conclusions about the legality of Lisa Cook’s removal.” Trump said in a letter posted on his Truth Social platform late Monday that he was removing Cook effective immediately because of allegations she committed mortgage fraud.

Cook said Monday night that she would not step down. “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so,” she said in an emailed statement. “I will not resign.” The courts have allowed the Trump administration to remove commissioners at the National Labor Relations Board, the Merit System Protection Board and other agencies. Yet Cook’s case is different. Those dismissals were based on the idea that the president needs no reason to remove agency heads because they exercise executive power on his behalf, the Supreme Court wrote in an unsigned order in May. In that same order, the court suggested that Trump did not have the same freedom at the Fed, which the

court called a “uniquely structured, quasi-private entity.” The law that governs the central bank, the Federal Reserve Act, includes a provision allowing for the removal of Fed governors “for cause.” “For cause” is typically interpreted to mean malfeasance or dereliction of duty by an official while in office, not something done before that person is appointed, Menand said. To establish a “for cause” firing also requires a finding of fact, said Scott Alvarez, the Fed’s former general counsel and now adjunct professor at Georgetown Law. “We know there’s allegations by Bill Pulte, but Lisa has not been able to respond yet,” Alvarez said. “So we don’t know if they’re true. Allegations are not cause.”

MISSING

Continued from page 1A They congregated on the Michoud Boulevard bridge near Lourdes Street and overlooked the canal where Bryan was found — the same waterway where he was last seen just before 7 a.m. on Aug. 14. He’d slipped out of the window of his Beaucaire Street home at around 5:20 a.m. Surveillance video captured the boy on nearby Sevres Street, which runs alongside the canal and where authorities later discovered his discarded diaper. NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick apologized to the Vasquez family for the police response that they and other volunteers had criticized as slow and inadequate. NOPD logs show that the boy was reported missing from the 5300 block of Beaucaire Street at 10:05 a.m., and police arrived at 3:06 p.m. Family members declined to comment Tuesday morning. Kirkpatrick last week launched an internal investigation. “It was a ﬁve-hour delay. We own that. What I don’t know is the why,” Kirkpatrick said at a media briefing Tuesday afternoon. She pledged that “this chief and this Police Department are going to take the facts and then put them in context.” How long Bryan had been in the water was unclear, Kirkpatrick said. On Tuesday, she announced an unclassified death investiga-

CITY PARK

Continued from page 1A The plan will be implemented over a phased approach, with the first improvements set to unfold over the next year and a half. According to the presentation shared Tuesday, those include: n improving navigation and connectivity with a new wayfinding system, sidewalk replacements and trail repairs n resurfacing 15 tennis courts n renovating Shelter 1 near Carousel Garden Amusement Park n revitalizing the Old Corral, a long-closed stable facility n enhancing Tad Gormley and Pan American Stadium n designing the ﬁrst City Park 2050 project. Dietz said $8 million has been allocated for projects through city capital bond allocations — $4 million for a new outdoor “arts, culture and community” amphitheater next to Tad Gormley Stadium and $4 million for lighting and security upgrades, sidewalk and trail repairs and drainage. Future funding sources may include state and federal grants, private donors and revenue generated from parkgoers, she said. The master plan includes both long- and short-term

tion, though she said there were no suspects. The New Orleans coroner will perform an autopsy Wednesday, she said. “We have not eliminated foul play,” Kirkpatrick said. The search had become increasingly desperate in the past few days, with scores of volunteers, city agencies and law enforcement canvassing the New Orleans East neighborhood of Village de l’Est. They deployed airboats, thermal drones and bloodhounds to aid in the hunt. The boy’s mother, 34-yearold Hilda Vasquez, had set up a home base and vigil of sorts where neighbors and volunteers gathered under borrowed tents throughout the search. She said in previous interviews that her son would often sneak away from their last home for a nearby playground. Neighbors there knew to bring him home, she said, but they’d recently moved. The search for the boy brought out many locals to wade daily through the area surrounding the canal. Slidell residents Reginald Hall, 63, and Joseph Stanley, 52, were among them, and Hall said he couldn’t believe the body went unnoticed by all the volunteers, drones and cameras deployed in the area. Kirkpatrick said Tuesday that bodies in drowning cases often surface later, “and that’s what we think potentially had happened.” As volunteers packed up after their search reached a heartbreaking end, New Or-

projects that incorporate feedback gathered from thousands of survey responses, community input and neighborhood engagement meetings. About 16 million visitors flock to City Park’s green spaces, nature trails, museums and various attractions each year, according to park data. Divided by a railroad and Interstate 610, the massive park is difﬁcult to navigate without a car, with popular sites like Pan American Stadium or Grow Dat Youth Farm to the north and the museums, sculpture garden and other various attractions to the south. Intersections and roadways cater to vehicles and create barriers for pedestrians, bicyclists and those on public transit, according to a mobility study conducted under the plan. On the north side, popular nature attractions like Couturie Forest, Scout Island, Nursery Island and the Wisner Tract are cut off from each other by roadways and lagoons. Central to the plan is easing movement between both sections and creating safer pathways for pedestrians and bicyclists. Proposed park upgrades include removing a section of Diagonal Drive at the roundabout at Harrison Avenue, roadway reductions to better accommodate pedestrians, and creating new trails and lagoon bridges.

Friends, neighbors and volunteers gather to pray and console each other near where the body of 12-year-old Bryan Vasquez was found on Tuesday in New Orleans East. leans ofﬁcials issued a statement Tuesday mourning the “bright, charismatic, and energetic young boy whose joy and spirit touched the lives of his family, friends and community.” Neighbors and volunteers gathered Tuesday to mourn and console one another at the scene. “I really wanted to find him. Hopefully, he was walking somewhere,” Hall said. “I’m glad he’s been found so the mother could have closure, though it’s a sad closure.”

Other improvements would see traffic-slowing measures along Marconi Drive and revamped intersections, including near the 610 underpass, which sits at the park’s lowest elevation point and is prone to flooding. The area is also home to several ballparks that have declined significantly over the years because of constant use by surrounding schools and sports teams. Plans call for upgrading existing fields and adding new ones. “We’re going to get this done and when it’s done, City Park, which is already a treasure, is going to be the premier urban park in America,” said Paul Sterbcow, City Park Improvement Association Board chair. Dietz said the timing of the plan’s approval was fitting, as it comes days before the city approaches the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. “This park suffered during Hurricane Katrina, as did the rest of the city, and was also a vital part of our recovery,” Dietz said, adding how community members came together to rebuild the park, which received millions in damages from flooding.

EXPLOSION

Continued from page 1A Hughes, who specialized in mixing additives into the various brands of motor oil packaged at Smitty’s, survived the harrowing moments of the fire and related explosions with his co-workers. But now he is among hundreds of employees out of a job and one of at least 160 who have visited state workforce officials in Hammond for help over the past two days. Hughes, a Greensburg resident who has four children, including one in college, filed for unemployment benefits at the GeauxJobs center on Monday and is looking for work. “I got to do what I gotta do,” he said. A loss of jobs is only one of the spillover effects of the devastating fire, whose cause remains under investigation by a variety of state and federal authorities. While no one was hurt or killed, the plant was destroyed and pollutants rained down on the surrounding area. Covering roughly 20 acres, the complex, which had the capacity to store 8.7 million gallons of flammable hydrocarbons and other chemicals, caught fire shortly before 12:52 p.m. Friday, sending a large, black plume skyward and burning for more than three days. The fire and explosions released unknown contaminants into the Tangipahoa River and surrounding land, sent an unidentified oily, black soot into the air, and forced a 1-mile evacuation area that wasn’t fully lifted until Tuesday, response officials said. Only a few roads in the Roseland area immediately around Smitty’s remained closed to allow cleanup and containment to continue, parish officials said Tuesday. They included U.S. 51 from La. 1048 to just south of Smitty’s and La 10 at the Tangipahoa River bridge.

feet of boom in the Tangipahoa River to prevent the multicolored oily residue out of Smitty’s from spreading farther downstream into Lake Pontchartrain. The parish has also closed the river from La. 10 south to the lake. The fire has already spurred a quick batch of lawsuits filed in state court in Amite against Smitty’s — at least seven between Monday morning and late Tuesday afternoon, according to court papers. The text of only five of the seven suits was immediately available Tuesday afternoon, but those five, from local law firms and those out of New Orleans, all sought classaction status. Accusing the company of negligence in its storage operations and frequently citing the contaminants, evacuations and black soot, the suits name Smitty’s as the defendant. A few also name Chad Tate, the CEO of the privately held company. “This explosion forced families out of their homes, damaged prop‘About accountability’ erty across the area, and left resiCrews working with the U.S. En- dents with serious health and safety vironmental Protection Agency concerns,” Jeffrey Berniard, a New have also deployed about 5,900 Orleans lawyer who filed one of the

RECOVERY

Continued from page 1A of Liberty Bank, discovered within a day that all of his bank branches were badly damaged or destroyed. How would customers get access to their bank accounts? Many of them had been evacuated with nothing. How would they borrow money to begin reconstruction? Liberty reestablished an internet connection through another bank and set up a physical operation in Baton Rouge. “As people came in, we wrote down on a piece of paper how much they took out,” McDonald said at a forum organized by GNO Inc. that was held at the Port of New Orleans. “We made loans to everybody who came in to get their lives back in place. “We had to start all over again. I didn’t know how we’d do it, but we had to because we had too many people who depended on us.” Doris Voitier, then in her second year as superintendent of schools in St. Bernard Parish, rode out the storm at Chalmette High

School with some 250 people, many of whom were elderly or sick. She said when the water started rising after a breach in the levee, the healthy people had to carry the ailing to the second floor. “We ran out of water,” Voitier said. “We ran out of food products. We were waiting for a rescue.” That came several days later. Employees at the parish’s two oil refineries and nearby sugar refinery wanted to return to work. But how could that happen if the schools remained closed? “I thought naively that FEMA would come to the rescue,” Voitier said. When help didn’t arrive, Voitier and her top aides took matters into their own hands. They found trailers in North and South Carolina that they could buy to house teachers once the water had receded. And they got to work setting up classrooms in portable buildings. Exactly 334 students showed up when St. Bernard opened its schools on Nov. 14, Voitier remembered. A few weeks later, the count had risen to 660, and St. Bernard’s recovery was underway.

suits, said in a statement. “This lawsuit is about accountability.” For the first time, Smitty’s officials spoke publicly about the fire. In a statement on Tuesday, the company expressed its sorrow for the uncertainty it has caused the community. It also offered thanks for the lack of any injuries and for the firefighters and others who fought the blaze. Smitty’s also promised to work with the EPA and other agencies. “As the damage assessment and cleanup begins in earnest, there is much work to do. Smitty’s is committed to rebuilding in Roseland,” the company statement says. Company officials declined to respond to questions offered on Tuesday and referred a reporter back to the statement. Gov. Jeff Landry spoke of the disaster at a news conference in Amite on Monday, pledging help for unemployed workers. “It’s important to recognize that this is not just simply an environmental issue, but this disaster affects the lives of all of the great people who worked in that facility and lived in that region,” Landry said.

Tim Coulon, the chair of the Superdome Commission, received word that thousands of people had gone to the Dome as a shelter of last resort and that part of the roof had blown off on the night the hurricane hit New Orleans. Power went out and the toilets backed up, leaving the crowds sweltering in dreadful conditions. After the National Guard evacuated the desperate residents stranded there several days later, Saints owner Tom Benson moved the team’s operations to San Antonio, where he had businesses, and made it clear that he wanted to stay there. Coulon said then-Gov. Kathleen Blanco and thenNFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue insisted that the Saints remain in New Orleans. Blanco expedited the Superdome’s reconstruction effort, and the stadium reopened a year later. Coulon remembered the throngs of festive Saints fans heading to the Superdome that day, saying it felt like Mardi Gras. Anne Milling, a longtime community advocate, said she was dismayed when she learned that most members of Congress had never visited New Orleans. So she cre-

‘Going to be a struggle’ With around 465 employees in 2024, Smitty’s was then Tangipahoa Parish’s third-largest private employer, behind only a large Walmart distribution center in Robert and the Sanderson Farms plant near Hammond, according to a school audit. More current estimates put the employee total at 450 before the fire. Several employees interviewed Tuesday said they were notified by phone or email to seek unemployment benefits. Some also said they have been informed they would receive their last paycheck. Workforce officials at the GeauxJobs center in Hammond said Smitty’s employees lined up starting at 7:30 a.m. Monday and Tuesday, a half-hour before the center opens, to apply for unemployment and food stamp benefits. Workers can be eligible for unemployment benefits worth $247 per week for up to 12 weeks. The center has an extra mobile unit in place to handle the numbers and the center is focused on handling Smitty’s employees through Friday, officials said, but will continue handling them afterward.

ated a group called Women of the Storm that, 140 strong, visited Washington, D.C., in January 2006 to fan out in the Capitol. They explained to lawmakers exactly what had happened, what was needed, and invited them to come to New Orleans to see the destruction. Milling said she was part of the group that visited with then-Speaker Dennis Hastert, a Republican she described as “one grumpy man,” a comment that prompted audience laughter. In the storm’s immediate aftermath, Hastert had questioned whether New Orleans even ought to survive. Milling said members of Women of the Storm then walked into the office of U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader. Pelosi listened closely to their pleas and then organized a visit to New Orleans with 36 members of Congress in March 2006. “They got it; they saw it,” Milling said, and soon other members of Congress made the pilgrimage. Greg Rusovich, who heads a global shipping company, said the storm brought Black and White community leaders together to jump-start

Shalonda Chappell, a regional workforce development manager with GeauxJobs, said she could not recall a single layoff in this part of the state that was as large as what’s happened with Smitty’s. She added that the job loss has happened in a rural part of Tangipahoa Parish with few other large employers like Smitty’s and with few similar jobs that pay at the same rates. “So, it’s really going to be a struggle as far as transportation-wise and getting them to another place of employment,” Chappell said. Workforce officials said another challenge specific to Smitty’s employees is that several lost their identification in the fire, such as when purses left behind burned, posing a slowdown in applying for help. Late Tuesday morning, now former Smitty’s employees were walking in the center, meeting with counselors about benefits and ways to polish their résumés. They chatted with co-workers who arrived. Anita Gant, 53, a Navy veteran from the village of Tangipahoa who worked as a lab technician at Smitty’s, was waiting at GeauxJobs to apply for unemployment on Tuesday. Gant said she had left work Friday about 10 minutes before Smitty’s caught fire and is still grappling with what happened. “It just set in yesterday that I didn’t … really have a job, that just ‘what am I going to go do next?’ ” she said. Parish officials said Geaux Jobs and a state workforce rapid response team will be at Florida Parishes Arena, 1301 NW Central Ave., Amite, on Sept. 4-5 for presentations on workers’ job search. Through Friday this week, the Amite arena has been set up as a distribution point for water, drinks, cleaning supplies and comfort items from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The items are available to those who live within two miles of Smitty’s and to former Smitty’s employees. People should bring their Smitty’s identification. Staff writer Willie Swett contributed to this report.

the ideological divides and have long debates about that.” Instead, he and the others focused on ways to reduce crime, address blighted housing and rebuild playgrounds. “We kept ﬁnding win-wins on a bunch of issues,” Rusovich said.

Lawmakers set requirements including paper ballots

Villarrubia, Geraldine Russell

BY ALYSE PFEIL Staff writer

For more than three decades, Louisianans have pushed buttons on the same voting machines when casting ballots for everything from local school board members to president of the United States. But Louisiana is now in the process of selecting an entirely new voting system, and it could look very different from the current one that state leaders for years have decried as woefully outof-date. On Tuesday, the Secretary of State’s Office held the first of six public demonstrations by companies that hope to compete for the contract for the new voting system. While each is different, they all must comply with requirements state lawmakers established in 2021 — and that includes the use of paper ballots. “We want our voting machines to actually have a paper ballot component so that we can audit both the machine tabulations and the paper trail,” said Catherine Newsome, first assistant secretary of state. In addition to the paper trail, the 2021 law mandates several other requirements, such as using machines with “tamper-evident seals” and a prohibition against voting equipment that connects to the internet. The vendor that is ultimately selected must also disclose to state election officials “any percentage of ownership by a foreign entity,” the law states. The Secretary of State’s Office, which administers Louisiana’s elections, earlier this year also published dozens of additional detailed requirements that any new voting system must comply with. At the top of that list is that paper ballots must be “capable of being audited by humans by hand, without use of electronic devices.” The system must also have guardrails to avoid “undervoting” and prohibit “overvoting” on a ballot, ensure in-person ballots can be cast anonymously, be accessible to people with disabilities, and produce a variety of reports on absentee, early and election-day vote counts, among many other requirements.

Geraldine "Gerry" Russell Villarrubia passed away peacefully on Friday, August 22, 2025 at her temporary home in Baton Rouge at the age of 102. Gerry retired from Exxon after 36 years as a secretary, first in the land office and then in the geology department. She loved the LSU Tigers, both football and baseball and the New Orleans Saints and of course, her family. Auntie Gerry was a lady with a brilliant mind and a loving heart. She loved to tell stories about traveling with Leo while he was training to be a B-17 pilot, and when he returned from WWII, they travelled together for Leo's job. She had a wonderful and exciting life, and now, she is reunited with the love of her life. We are quite sure she and her sister, Barbara, went shopping as soon as she arrived. She was also an avid animal lover, especially cats (Tiddy-wits and Reddy are lined up for petting time). She is survived by nephew and caregiver, Mark Russell Normand and his wife, Laura Weaver Normand, by nephews, Neal Villarrubia (Marilyn), Wayne Villarrubia, Kel Villarrubia (Teresa), Stephen Villarrubia (Linda) and Charles Villarrubia, and nieces Lori Martin (Tommy) and Karen Castillo Villarrubia, and other beloved nieces and nephews. She is also survived by the Weaver family that she adopted later in life. She is preceded in death by her husband and the love of her life, Leo Forest Villarrubia; her parents, Webb and Grace Russell and her sister, Barbara Normand. We are very grateful to the nurses, aides, chaplains, social workers, and office staff of Compassus Hospice in both Metairie and Baton Rouge. A special thank you to Betty Dixon for the excellent care, love and laughs. Another special thanks to Isabel Aleman for being there when we needed you. The visitation will be held on Saturday, August 30, 2025 at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. New Orleans, LA 70124 from 8:30 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. The interment will follow at Lake Lawn Park Mausoleum. Pallbearers will be Mark Normand, Neal Villarrubia, Kel Villarrubia, Tommy Martin, Mike Sims and Greg Weaver. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the ASPCA, a local animal shelter, or your local food bank.

Wagner, Mary Lyn Hirstius

On August 22, 2025, Mary Lyn Hirstius Wagner passed away peacefully, joining the loved ones who went before her. She was 76 years old. Born on August 2, 1949, to George William Hirstius and Angele Faget Hirstius, Mary grew up in her beloved New Orleans. She graduated from Mount Carmel Academy (Class of '67) and the University of New Orleans (LSUNO, Class of '71). Mary dedicated over 20 years to teaching in Jefferson Parish public schools and, following her retirement, continued to give back to her community by volunteering at The National WWII Museum and with the UNO Alumni Association. Mary is survived by her devoted husband of 53 years, Stephen Welch Wagner; their son, Stephen William Wagner (Jenny); and cherished grandson, Evan. She is also survived by her siblings, Diann Hirstius and Chet Hirstius; nieces Michelle, Loren, Cristen, Kimberly, and Tayler; her godchild, Leigh Erin; her in-laws; numerous cousins; and many dear friends, including her longtime college friend Marcia Kavanaugh. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Angele; her sister, Doreene Venturella (the late Stephen); her brother, George W. Hirstius II; and a beloved family friend, Marcella "Beth" Lukens. Mary deeply valued her New Orleans roots and traditions and loved sharing them with family and friends—especially her fondness for City Park, Bayou St. John, and Holy Rosary Church. Her warm smile and generous spirit captivated all who knew her, while her quiet strength and unwavering principles earned the respect of many. Above all, Mary treasured her family. She is forever loved and will be profoundly missed. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the graveside service on Friday, August 29, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. at All Saints Mausoleum, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. (within Metairie Cemetery). A reception will follow at the home of Stephen and Jenny Wagner. To view and sign the online guestbook, please visit www.lakelawn metairie.com.

Mom arrested in 3-year-old’s death BY MICHELLE HUNTER Staff writer

A West Bank mother is now facing a murder charge after her 3-year-old son was found dead Monday at their Harvey apartment, according to authorities. Alexis Welsh, 32, was booked on

a charge of ﬁrst-degree murder in the death of her toddler son, Josiah Winzy. Welsh was still being treated Tuesday at a hospital for injuries that Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joseph Lopinto described as “selfinflicted types of cuts” on her body. An autopsy performed Tuesday

determined that Josiah died of asphyxia due to suffocation and smothering, the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s Ofﬁce said. Authorities first learned of the toddler’s death after deputies responded to an apartment in the 2100 block of Manhattan Boulevard in Harvey, according to Capt. Jason Rivarde, sheriff’s

spokesperson. Welsh called 911 about 7:40 a.m. Monday to report that her son was dead. Josiah was pronounced at the scene, Rivarde said. Deputies also found Welsh suffering from a number of cuts in multiple locations on her body, according to Rivarde. The Sheriff’s Office on Tues-

day declined to comment further on the investigation, including whether detectives have developed a suspected motive in the child’s killing. Once released from the hospital, Welsh will be booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna, ofﬁcials said. No bail has been set.

Parish considers smaller council BY WILLIE SWETT

Staff writer

A committee in St. Tammany Parish has taken a deep dive examination of the parish’s government charter over the past eight months, and the list of revisions it ultimately proposes could be long and varied. But one revision under consideration by St. Tammany’s Home Rule Charter Review Committee has received the lion’s share of attention and sparked the most controversy: should the St. Tammany Parish Council reduce its size from 14 members to something smaller? “The elephant in the room is the size of the council,” said St. Tammany Parish Council member Larry Rolling, who is on the committee.

N.O. airport begins road work $84M connector to provide faster shuttle service

BY LARA NICHOLSON

Staff writer

The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport broke ground Tuesday on a new $84 million connector road that will more quickly transport passengers and bypass trafﬁc. The new road will provide a designated route for shuttle buses moving between the new airport terminal on the northern end of the campus and the economy garage, employee garage and rental car center near the old terminal on the southern end. It also serves as a critical step in supporting growing infrastructure as airport ofﬁcials plan for future expansions and a potential rail line to Baton Rouge. The project has an estimated completion of the end of 2027, and is expected to cut shuttle times in half. “This dedicated roadway will transform how passengers, employees and rental car customers move between our facilities, eliminating the frustration of traffic delays and unpredictable shuttle times,” New Orleans Aviation Board Chair Michael Bagneris said at a news conference Tuesday. The project will be split into two

One of the French Quarter’s most iconic, historic blocks has been transformed into a mess of dirt, fences and cones, irking local business owners, neighborhood advocates and tourists as construction crews prepare to expand their work to other parts of the neighborhood in the coming months. The more than $9 million project to replace 115-year-old water mains on St. Peter and Decatur streets is expected to take a year to complete,

The normally bustling block of St. Peter Street near Jackson Square was reduced to rubble in mid-July. The towering fences — which have left the street and intersections impassible to cars, with narrow pedestrian walkways on either side — will remain in place for at least ﬁve months, Labat said. The construction is slowing business for nearby retailers to a near halt, said Robert Corroza, owner of High Grace NOLA, located half a block from the construction site.

La. high court weighs Task force to address disciplining justice student attendance N.O. judge’s actions draw possible fine, suspension

BY JOHN SIMERMAN Staff writer

What an Orleans Parish civil court judge did to win her seat five years ago, with strong backing from New Orleans trash magnate Sidney Torres IV, took center stage Tuesday as the Louisiana Supreme Court weighed possible discipline for Judge Jennifer Medley. The Louisiana Judiciary Commission has recommended that the court suspend Medley for 30 days and assess her $5,500 in costs over four misconduct charges from her first-time run for office in 2020. But on Tuesday, some justices expressed skepticism about the allegations being leveled against Medley, who is up for reelection next year. The case centers on Medley’s race against then-incumbent

Judge Christopher Bruno, who ruled against Torres in a dispute over a prime piece of Frenchmen Street real estate. Torres responded by getting behind Medley, the daughter of former Civil Court Judge Lloyd Medley. In a bruising race, Jennifer Medley took the seat with 53% of the vote. But according to the commission, she trampled on the judicial ethics code in the process. John Keeling, an assistant special counsel for the panel, described “an array of misconduct” by Medley as he urged the court to take a strong stand against judicial candidates who aim low. Two of the charges relate to a pair of attack ads that Torres’ production company helped create for Medley, both of which Keeling told the court were false. In one, a woman claimed that Bruno showed bias against her in his court and labeled her a “scorned woman.” Medley acknowledged that she approved

1 in 4 N.O. pupils chronically absent, data shows

BY MARIE FAZIO

Staff writer

The New Orleans school district is launching a new attendance strike force that will step in when schools try repeatedly but fail to get frequently absent students to show up, officials said Tuesday. After interventions at the school level come up short, schools will be able to refer students to a new district “Attendance Hearing Office” that will develop personalized attendanceimprovement plans for students who are chronically absent. The plans will try to address barriers to school attendance, such as a lack of transportation or frequent doctor’s office visits, and set goals for improving attendance. If those efforts fail, then the team could refer parents of

truant students to the court system. The new effort is aimed at the roughly 1 in 4 New Orleans students who miss 10% or more of school days and are considered chronically absent, NOLA Public Schools Superintendent Fateama Fulmore said Tuesday at a news conference announcing the initiative. “That’s a whole month of instruction of growth opportunity gone,” Fulmore said. “This is a really a problem across the country and here in New Orleans, and it carries serious consequences for our children.” The effort piggybacks on a state initiative called the “Power of Presence” that seeks to reduce chronic absenteeism by 2% each year with targeted interventions by school districts and community groups. The district also paid for billboards around town that blast “Every day counts,” the slogan of this year’s attendance campaign.

Teen dead after being shot in road rage attack COUNCIL

Baby born prematurely is healthy, friend says

A baby girl entered the world two months early at North Oaks Medical Center in Hammond on Sunday, and despite weighing only 3 pounds and 11 ounces and surviving an emergency C-section. She is, by all accounts, perfectly healthy. But her mother, 17-year-old Katelynn Strate, won’t live to meet her. Strate was shot in the head in Ponchatoula about a half-hour before her baby was born, the victim of what Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office officials described as a road rage attack. Strate was critically wounded and kept on life support to save her baby Monday night. Strate was taken off life support Tuesday evening after her organs were donated, the Sheriff’s Office saide. “(Strate’s) mother is devastated,”

family friend Katie Cancienne, 36, said. “She just lost her baby and now she’s a grandmother.” Strate and her boyfriend were headed to his mom’s house the morning she was shot, according to Cancienne. They were riding together on North Hoover Road in a Ford Expedition when “something must have happened,” Cancienne said, with a silver Dodge truck headed in the same direction. It’s not clear what sparked the dispute, but sheriff’s officials said both drivers began to tailgate and brake-check each other before the driver of the Dodge, later identified as 54-year-old Barry West, opened fire. Strate, who authorities said was in the front passenger seat when West fired, was hit in the head. The bullet never left her skull, Cancienne said. Strate’s boyfriend and his sister, who was also in the car, rushed her to a hospital, where she later delivered her baby. No other injuries were reported. West was arrested and booked into the Tangipahoa Parish jail on

phases. The first phase, to be completed by the end of 2026, will build the north end of the road, allowing shuttles to bypass traffic on Veterans Boulevard. The second phase will include the southern portion of roadway near the former terminal and Airline Highway. About $65 million of funding for the project came from Federal Aviation Administration grants made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law signed in 2021. Another $11 million came from the state, and the remaining costs will come from the airport’s capital budget. Airport Director of Aviation Kevin Dolliole estimated that an average of 9,000 people use the shuttles every day. Airport traffic has steadily grown each year since the COVID-19 pandemic. “By creating a dedicated roadway that bypasses local traffic, we’re not just improving efficiency, we’re building the infrastructure backbone for the next generation of airport connectivity,” Dolliole said. Airport officials also plan to connect the shuttle road to a future rail station on the proposed line from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, which is at least several years away from coming to fruition as federal, state and local agencies work through financing and designing the project. The line is expected to have six stops: downtown Baton Rouge, the Mall of Louisiana, Gonzales, LaPlace, the airport and union passenger terminal, Darrell Saizan, a senior consultant with Saizan and Associates, told the Transportation and Airport Committee last month. The airport is also anticipating the need for a new terminal by 2031 to keep up with demand, which would need to include 15 more gates, another parking garage, new ticket counters, security checkpoints and baggage claims areas by 2031. New Orleans and its airport also secured an additional federal grant of about $1 million from the FAA to fund an automated people mover, according to Baton Rouge Republican U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy’s office, which officials said in 2022 would require at least five years and $500 million to build.

Erin Holmes, director of Vieux Carré Property Owners, Residents and Associates, a French Quarter neighborhood advocacy group, said she’s been ﬁelding numerous complaints from business owners and residents. Holmes said that she sympathizes with their struggles but understands that the work needs to be done. “It’s long overdue work,” said Holmes. “If it’s going to be a yearlong project, there’s no good time to start and end it.” Holmes said that the fencing, which is metal chain-link and covered in opaque green netting to block dust, has posed more problems for pedestrians than she anticipated. “When you’re stuck in a corridor where the fencing is bolted to the ground and is eight feet tall, and you’re presented with a dangerous situation, it’s a lot harder to get

A centralized attendance team

In New Orleans’ decentralized school system, each charter school is mostly responsible for creating and carrying out its own attendance strategy. For example, at Fannie C. Williams Charter School in New Orleans East, homerooms compete for the highest attendance rates, and students with good attendance earn “warrior bucks” they can use to purchase candy, snacks and “all the unhealthy things that they love the most,” said Kelly Batiste, the school’s CEO. When students don’t come to class, the school works with parents to help them troubleshoot transportation, uniforms or other issues. Still, some students fall through the cracks. That’s when the district’s new attendance ofﬁce will

Continued from page 1B the ad, which featured a chyron on the screen that described the woman as an “actual rape victim.” “Being raped is something no woman should have to endure and Judge Christopher Bruno’s treatment of me was just as bad,” the woman stated in the ad. A judicial campaign oversight committee found no truth to the allegations against Bruno. Medley told the commission the ad was “deﬁnitely a mistake.” But her attorney, Steve Scheckman, argued Tuesday that the ad wasn’t false and was protected speech under the First Amendment. Bruno had, in fact, used the term “scorned woman” in reference to the woman, leaving Justice Jefferson Hughes to question its falsity. Keeling argued that the depiction was “not the sole falsehood” in the ad, while arguing that the court should come down on “this sort of awful language and false language.” Another Medley ad that labeled Bruno a “deadbeat dad” never aired; Bruno secured a court order stopping it. Even so, the commission took Medley to task over a social media post about it, published shortly after the decision.

step in. “We’re talking about progressive and persistent absenteeism that’s escalating to a point where we need another level of intervention,” said Larone Crayton, who heads the new ofﬁce. “This is about all of our schools and having their back in this effort because they can only do but so much.” After schools attempt multiple interventions with chronically absent students — such as contacting their families or supplying uniforms — schools will refer students to the Attendance Hearing Ofﬁce. That team will set up a “restorative attendance conference,” Crayton said, to determine barriers preventing students from attending school and connect families with the appropriate resources. Families will receive personalized attendance plans to help address whatever might be preventing their child from getting to school.

Sunday on four counts of attempted second-degree murder, one count of illegal use of a weapon and obstruction of justice. The Sheriff’s Office upgraded one of the attempted murder counts to second-degree murder Tuesday night. Though West told authorities he believed the occupants of the Ford had fired at him first, the Sheriff’s Office said there was no evidence of a gunshot coming from the Ford and no weapon found in the vehicle. “These kids were just driving on their way to the interstate and drove past the wrong guy,” Cancienne said. Strate’s shooting sent shockwaves through Ponchatoula, which Cancienne described as one of the safest towns you could imagine. “I mean people move to Ponchatoula for safety,” she said. Community members took to social media Monday to share disbelief over the harrowing crime and to mourn Strate, who friends described online as a kind soul who was looking forward to motherhood. Witty, bubbly and often bitingly sarcastic, Strate was also incred-

ibly sweet, Cancienne said. She loved to spend time with her sisters and was close with her mom, Kristen Nicole Blow. Cancienne and Blow have played Pokeno together for years, and she said she always looked forward to the days when Strate would tag along for a game. “They just had a dynamic where you could tell there was genuine love there,” she said. Of course, like any teenager, Strate could be a troublemaker and had her fair share of disagreements with her mother. “But all in all,” she said, “the world’s not going to be the same kind of place without her.” Cancienne is hosting a baby supply donation drive from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at First United Methodist Church, 201 E. Pine St., Ponchatoula, to support Strate’s family and her daughter. Duplicate items will be donated to a nonproﬁt organization to aid other mothers in need, she said. Friends have also launched a GoFundMe page to help support the family.

out,” Holmes said. Labat said removing the fencing would “pose a safety concern.” Holmes said that she is also worried about further delays to the project that could extend the disruption. Crews had already delayed the project’s start from May to July, when the water level of the Mississippi River fell below the maximum height at which subsurface construction projects near the river are permitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. As they brace for a long-term impact, managers of businesses blocked by the fencing are getting creative to let people know that they’re open for business. Signs for restaurants and bars are posted along the barricades, with one, for Fat Boy’s Pizza, directing pedestrians to “follow the fence.” Tableau by Dickie Brennan & Co. even perched two bubble machines and several stage lights on its wraparound balcony to grab the attention of prospective diners walking through Jackson Square below, said Lindsay Ross, sales

and marketing director for Dickie Brennan & Co. Ross said that ofﬁcials and construction crews had been responsive to business owners’ concerns but that “it’s going to just be a really long road of dealing with it.” After trekking through the blazing midday sun on Monday to St. Peter Street, Vivien Bilquez was disappointed to see a home he’d marked on his list of must-see French Quarter places blocked by fencing. Bilquez, a tourist from Switzerland and an amateur photographer, had looked forward to capturing the iconic LaBranche House on St. Peter and Royal Streets, known for its intricate wrought-iron railings that have made it one of the most photographed locations in the French Quarter. “It’s just a pity, because of course we are not here every day,” said Bilquez. “But at the same time, we understand that sometimes we have to do some renovation.”

Medley conceded that the ad misstated key facts, including a claim that Bruno was 13 years in arrears on child support. Medley acknowledged that “that part of the ad was in error,” though she defended its premise. An appeals court found that Medley “knew her commercial was false or at the very least acted with reckless disregard for whether her statements in the commercial were false.” But Scheckman argued Tuesday that the court got it wrong. “It’s all protected,” he said, and in any case, “It never hit the airwaves.”

“You’re accusing her of ﬁnding a way to do what she did, Justice Jay McCallum said. “Must there be some impropriety for there to be an appearance of it?” Chief Justice John Weimer asked. “Sounds like you’re charging someone with something — it’s not illegal, but it smells,” Justice Cade Cole added.

Exploiting a loophole Several of the justices took issue with the commission’s view of misconduct in Medley’s receipt of a $100,000 loan from a Torres company. Soon after, Medley deposited a majority of that sum into her campaign as a personal loan. Because the commission couldn’t prove that Torres knew of Medley’s plans for the loan, her actions “appear to have fallen within a loophole in the law,” the commission found. Even so, it charged Medley for misconduct, saying she gave “an appearance of attempting to circumvent campaign ﬁnance law and/or exploiting a loophole in the law.”

“Every student is different, every barrier they encounter is different,” Crayton said. “Sometimes there’s not a ‘one size fits all.’ ” The office will also try to educate families about truancy laws, including that school is mandatory for students aged five through 18. Under the law, if a student misses five school days, schools are required to refer the matter to the judicial system. “Noncompliance with these efforts could potentially result in referral to our judicial partners,” Crayton said, “but we want to emphasize that’s a last resort.”

Public safety issue District ofﬁcials touted New Orleans students’ recent academic gains Tuesday but warned that future progress could be hindered by low attendance. Fulmore said research has shown that students who are chronically absent are more likely to drop out of high school, struggle to learn to

Campaign expense in doubt The justices found less to criticize about the fourth misconduct charge the commission upheld against Medley, related to a private payment she made of $1,200 to the woman who’d accused Bruno in the TV ad of mistreating her. Medley didn’t dispute the payments, which she called a travel reimbursement, and later she amended her campaign finance reports to account for it. Keeling argued that those payments were the “exact sort of expenses these (campaign ﬁnance) laws were meant to capture.” While he conceded that Medley had made mistakes on the campaign trail, Scheckman said she was a freshman judge at the time, while he argued that such alleged campaign fouls were beyond the court’s purview. The court did not immediately rule.

read and have higher suspension rates. Meanwhile students who miss nine or fewer days of school are more likely to read on grade level, graduate from high school and enroll in college. New Orleans Juvenile Court Judge Ranord J. Darensburg said a quarter of juvenile court cases in New Orleans involve young people who were arrested during school hours. “We see this as a public safety issue,” he said. District officials said the revamped attendance office will be modeled after an office established in 2012 to manage student expulsions. The office was created after a Southern Poverty Law Center lawsuit drew attention to growing expulsion rates in charter schools. The office instituted a standardized approach to student discipline and provided oversight on school expulsion decisions. It’s largely credited with driving down the expulsion rate to less than 1%.

Since the start of the year, the charter committee has discussed every line of the parish’s founding document. Committee members have also heard from guest speakers on topics ranging from inspector general’s ofﬁces to council-manager styles of government. Now, over the course of three upcoming meetings, one on Thursday and two in September, the 11-member committee is expected to vote on possible recommendations to be sent to the full St. Tammany Parish Council, which will then decide whether to put any of the recommendations on the ballot for the parish’s voters.

Council size The parish’s 14 council members are part-time and earn about $30,000 a year. Council member Arthur Laughlin, who is in favor trimming the size of the council, said there could be anything from a minor reduction to 12 members or a major one from 14 to 7 council members. “In my personal experience, the council is too unwieldy at 14. It’s just too many people,” Laughlin said in an interview. He also described the difﬁculties of serving as a council member while also being a young parent and holding another job. He said he is generally in favor of having full-time council members. Rolling, who is also in favor of reducing the size, said in an interview, “The people of this parish have the right to have a vote on something this big.” Council member Joe Impastato, who is also in favor of a council reduction, also hopes the committee will recommend adding at-large members. Still, some Parish Council members have raised concerns about what a reduction in the size of the council could mean for representation on the council. Council member Jimmy Strickland, the parish’s only Black council member, wonders how it would impact minority representation. “There’s no guarantee that there will be a minority district,” he has said. Council member Cheryl Tanner, meanwhile, has expressed concern about representation of rural areas. “If we go down on the council size, it would hurt the rural area,” she said in an interview. “I will be listening to anybody that has a plan (so) that won’t happen,” but she said she has not heard such a plan.

Inspector General’s Office The committee made a motion at its last meeting expressing support of the establishment of a parish Office of the Inspector General. Committee Chair Kevin Davis, a former parish president, said the group will discuss the specifics, such as its funding source, at an upcoming meeting and could potentially make a formal recommendation to the council. Still, even if the council and the voters approve such an agency, it would require action by the Legislature for St. Tammany’s inspector general to have similar powers to the inspector general offices in New Orleans and Jefferson Parish and be able to examine the finances of all government agencies. The committee could also recommend a handful of changes that would shift the balance of power from the parish president to the Parish Council. Other possible recommendations include changing the structure of government to a council-manager style of government, something the St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce called for in an August letter to the committee, saying a manager model would “streamline processes and reduce bureaucracy.” Davis said in an interview there has been “open dialogue and debate” since the committee first met in January. “All of these people are trying to find what is best for the future.” Email Willie Swett at willie. swett@theadvocate.com.

Cracker Barrel relents, says its old logo will return

Cracker Barrel said late Tuesday it’s returning to its old logo after critics — including President Donald Trump — protested the company’s plan to modernize. In a post on its website, Cracker Barrel said it will retain its old logo, which features an older man in overalls sitting next to a barrel and the words “Old Country Store.” “We thank our guests for sharing your voices and love for Cracker Barrel,” the company said in a statement. “Our new logo is going away and our ‘Old Timer’ will remain.” The tempest over the logo began last week, when the company announced plans for a simpliﬁed design featuring only the company’s name. Lebanon, Tennessee-based Cracker Barrel made the change as part of a wider plan to modernize its restaurants and appeal to younger customers. But many protested the change. Earlier Tuesday, Trump said via Truth Social that Cracker Barrel should “admit a mistake based on customer response (the ultimate Poll), and manage the company better than ever before,” saying doing so could wield “a Billion Dollars worth of free publicity” to their advantage.

Late push sends Wall Street near its records Wall Street capped a choppy day of trading Tuesday with slight gains for stocks, leaving the major indexes just below their recent alltime highs. The S&P 500 closed 0.4% higher after wavering between small gains and losses for much of the day. The benchmark index ﬁnished just 2.6 points below its record high set earlier this month and short of recouping all of its losses from the day before. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also bounced back from an early slide, ﬁnishing with a 0.3% gain. The Nasdaq composite added 0.4%. The market’s uneven start to the week comes after Wall Street notched big gains last week on hopes for interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Gains in technology, financial and industrial stocks helped outweigh losses in communication services and other sectors. Chipmaking giant Nvidia rose 1.1% and JPMorgan Chase added 1.2%. Boeing rose 3.5% for one of the biggest gains among S&P 500 companies after Korean Air announced a $50 billion deal with the company that includes buying more than 100 aircraft. Dish Network parent EchoStar surged 70.2% after AT&T said it will buy some of its wireless spectrum licenses in a $23 billion deal. Treasury yields mostly fell in the bond market. The yield on the 10year Treasury fell to 4.26% from 4.28% late Monday.

Trump expands with Crypto.com partnership President Donald Trump’s personal crypto ventures are expanding again, this time with plans for a digital asset treasury company that holds an alternative cryptocurrency. Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates the Truth Social media platform, announced Tuesday that it was partnering with the cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com to form a company that holds CRO, a token created by Crypto.com. A blank check company tied to Yorkville Advisors is another cofounder of the new firm, called Trump Media CRO Strategy. Trump Media said it plans to purchase $105 million worth of CRO. Yorkville said the total expected funding for the company’s treasury will be $1 billion worth of CRO, or about 19% of the token’s market cap, plus $420 million in cash and equivalents and as a $5 billion line of credit. The announcement is part of the hottest trend in crypto, in which a wide variety of companies — many with no obvious ties to the world of digital assets — have made buying and holding cryptocurrency a primary part of their business plan. The model is based on MicroStrategy, a tech ﬁrm that ﬁrst started buying bitcoin in 2020 and has seen its stock price soar.

August consumer confidence dips in U.S. Jobs, tariffs, high prices driving most unease

BY MATT OTT

AP business writer WASHINGTON — Americans’ view of the U.S. economy declined modestly in August as anxiety over a weakening job market grew for the eighth straight month. The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index ticked down by 1.3 points to 97.4 in August, down from July’s 98.7, but in the same narrow range of the past three months. The small decline in confidence was in line with the forecasts of most of the economists who were surveyed. A measure of Americans’ shortterm expectations for their income, business conditions and the job market fell by 1.2 points to 74.8, remaining significantly below 80, the marker that can signal a recession ahead.

Consumers’ assessments of their current economic situation also fell modestly, to 131.2 in August from 132.8 in July. While the unemployment and layoffs remain historically low, there has been a noticeable deterioration in the labor market this year and mounting evidence that people are having difficulty finding jobs. U.S. employers added just 73,000 jobs in July, well short of the 115,000 analysts expected. Worse, revisions to the May and June figures shaved 258,000 jobs off previous estimates and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1%. That report sent financial markets spiraling, spurring President Donald Trump to fire Erika McEntarfer, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tallies the monthly employment numbers. Another government report showed that U.S. employers posted

7.4 million job vacancies in June, down from 7.7 million in May. The number of people quitting their jobs — a sign of conﬁdence in their prospects elsewhere — also fell. More jobs data comes next week when the government releases its August job gains and June job openings reports.

with tariffs. Other government data this month showed that while prices at the consumer level held fairly steady from June to July, U.S. wholesale inﬂation surged unexpectedly last month. Economists say that’s a sign that Trump’s sweeping taxes on imports are pushing costs up and that higher prices for consumers may be on the way. The share of consumers expecting a recession over the next year rose in August to the highest level since April, when Trump’s tariff rollout began. The share of survey respondents who said they intended to buy a car in the near future rose, while those planning to purchase a home remained stable after July’s decline. Those saying they planned to buy big-ticket items like appliances fell, but there were big variations among product categories. Respondents who said they planned to take a vacation soon, either inside of the U.S. or abroad, also declined.

BY MAE ANDERSON AP business writer

NEW YORK — Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the United States this week as part of President Donald Trump’s agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods and resetting global trade with tariffs. An executive order signed last month eliminates a widely used customs exemption for international shipments worth $800 or less starting Friday, nearly two years earlier than the deadline set in the tax cuts and spending bill approved by Congress. Although the president previously ended the “de minimis” rule for inexpensive items sent from China and Hong Kong, having to pay import taxes on small parcels from everywhere else likely will be a big change for some small businesses and online shoppers. Purchases that previously entered the U.S. without needing to clear customs will require vetting and be subject to their origin country’s applicable tariff rate, which can range from 10% to 50%. For the next six months, carriers handling orders sent through the global mail network also can choose a ﬂat duty of $80 to $200 per package instead of the value-based rate. In response, the national postal services of more than a dozen countries said they would temporarily suspend sending some or most U.S.-bound packages due to confusion over processing and payment requirements. Japan and Switzerland on Monday joined Australia, Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Thailand, the U.K. and New Zealand in saying they would pause shipments. The Trump administration

says the exemption has become a loophole that foreign businesses exploit to evade tariffs and criminals use to get drugs, counterfeit products and other contraband into the U.S. Former President Joe Biden and members of Congress also discussed the issue. Other countries have similar exemptions, but the threshold is usually lower. For example, $175 is the value limit in the 20 European Union countries that use the euro as their official currency. The U.K. allows foreign businesses to send parcels worth up to $182 without incurring tariff charges. In the U.S., the “de minimis” — Latin for lacking signiﬁcance or importance — exemption started in 1938 as a way to save the federal government the time and expense of collecting duties on imported goods with a retail value of $1 or less. U.S. lawmakers eventually increased the eligibility cutoff to $5 in 1990, to $200 in 1993 and to $800 in 2015, according to the Congressional Research Service. Since then, the number of shipments claiming de minimis treatment has exploded. A total of 1.36 billion packages with a combined value of $64.6 billion reached the U.S. last year, compared to 134 million packages sent under the exemption in 2015, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency reported. About 60% of the 2024 shipments came from China and Hong Kong, according to an analysis logistics ﬁrm Flexport prepared based on U.S. government data. Multiple countries and regions accounted for the remainder, including Canada, Mexico, the European Union, India and Vietnam. Proponents of limiting the exemption argue that it has served as a way for China-founded retail

move would help close a “backdoor pipeline for cheap, subsidized, and often illegal, toxic and unethical imports.” But some smaller American companies that rely on imported products and materials beneﬁted from the exemption too. Kristin Trainor is worried the end of de minimis will also mean the end of Diesel and Lulu’s, her 3-year-old boutique in Avon, Connecticut. Over 70% of the women’s clothes and accessories she stocks comes from small fashion houses in France, Italy and Spain. Trainor places small batch orders each week that fall under the $800 threshold. “Our business model is to provide casual chic and unique clothes at affordable prices,” she said. “The added customs and duty charges that will go into effect on Aug. 29 will eliminate that affordability. ” Trainor said she was looking to replace her European vendors with ones based in the U.S. But her bestselling product categories, such as apparel made of Italian linen, come from other countries. She estimates a simple linen sundress that cost $30 wholesale at the beginning of the year will rise to $43 next month. After a corporate career, Trainor opened the store to have more time with her 9-year-old son and her 91-year-old father. Raising the boutique’s prices to absorb part of the import charges would help offset higher shipping and logistics costs, but Trainor worries her customers will balk at higher prices. “I have not made any ofﬁcial announcements to my customers just yet, although they have started to ask if I will stay open as they understand the economic impacts that are occurring,” she said. “At this point, I am leaning more and more towards closing the boutique, sadly.”

WASHINGTON — More than 300 million Americans’ Social Security data was put at risk after Department of Government Efficiency officials uploaded sensitive information to a cloud account not subject to oversight, according to a whistleblower disclosure submitted to the special counsel’s office Tuesday. Whistleblower Charles Borges, who worked as the chief data officer at the Social Security Administration since January, said the potential sensitive information that risks being released includes health diagnoses, income, banking information, familial relationships and personal biographic data. “Should bad actors gain access to this cloud environment, Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital health care and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for reissuing every American a new Social Security Number at great cost,” said the complaint. The complaint was submitted by the Government Accountability Project and addressed to House and Senate oversight lawmakers. It requests that authorities “take appropriate oversight action.” The whistleblower report is just the latest complaint against President Donald Trump’s DOGE and the unprecedented access it was given by the Republican administration to the vast troves of personal data across the government under the mandate of eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. Labor and retiree groups sued SSA earlier this year for allowing DOGE to access Americans’ sensitive agency data, though a divided appeals panel decided this month that DOGE could access the information. SSA said in a statement that it takes whistleblower complaints seriously but seemed to downplay Borges’ accusations. “SSA stores all personal data in secure environments that have robust safeguards in place to protect vital information. The data referenced in the complaint is stored in a longstanding environment used by SSA and walled off from the internet. High-level career SSA officials have administrative access to this system with oversight by SSA’s Information Security team. We are not aware of any compromise to this environment and remain dedicated to protecting sensitive personal data,” the agency wrote. Borges’ complaint says he disclosed to his superiors that he believed the upload was an abuse of authority and poses a substantial threat to public health and safety, and potentially violates the law. Andrea Meza, a lawyer representing Borges, said her client released the information “out of a sense of urgency and duty to the American public.”

spending time with family and friends, whether traveling or celebrating local food and music. Aways ready for adventure or to lend a hand, a friend of Bruce's was a friend for life as he possessed a seemingly tireless energy and talent for nurturing those he cared about. For more than 25 years, Bruce built a successful career in dental implant sales, where he was greatly respected for his dedication and integrity. He retired from ZimVie in July of 2024, finishing Top Regional Manager in the US. With a love of sports and following in the footsteps of his father, Bruce was a proud member of the New Orleans Saints Chain Crew for almost 35 years. He was an avid fisherman and wetland conservationist and ceaselessly enthusiastic about every challenge he took on---from raising chickens and beekeeping to hiking 230 miles of the John Muir Trail in 20 days. Throughout his yearlong struggle with cancer, Bruce remained cheerful and optimistic, embracing his faith, family and the many friends he cultivated over the course of his life. His warm and welcoming smile, dedication to family and commitment to serving others will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Plotkin, The Honorable Steven R.

The Honorable Steven R. Plotkin, former Louisiana Civil District Judge and 4th Circuit Appellate Judge, passed away on August 25, 2025. He was 89 and resided in New Orleans Louisiana all his life. His philosophy of life was "A sound mind, a healthy body, a productive life, and a loving family." To that end, he never stopped exploring, reading, exercising, and learning. Judge Plotkin was born of humble beginnings on April 19, 1936. He was a graduate of Alcee Fortier High School and a 1956 graduate of Tulane University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He received his Juris Doctorate from Tulane Law School in 1959 and went on earn his Master of Laws Degree from the University of Virginia Law School in 1986. He also served in the United States Army Reserve as an enlisted soldier and received an honorable discharge in 1961. He married the love of his life, Lynn Gertler, in July of 1965. Judge Plotkin began his legal career by starting his own firm and remained the senior partner until 1978. He tried over 500 criminal and civil trials.

He served as President of the Greater New Orleans Trial Lawyers Association and was appointed an Assistant District Attorney in New Orleans in 1961, working in this role until 1965. Judge Plotkin was appointed Judge Ad Hoc to the New Orleans Municipal Court in 1977. He then was elected to the Civil District Court in 1978 and reelected in 1982, serving until 1988. He was well known for having the fastest trial docket on the trial court. In 1988, he was elected to the Louisiana 4th Circuit Court of Appeal, reelected for a 10-year term without opposition in 1998, and retired in 2002. During Judge Plotkin's legal career he published thirty-five law articles, three law review articles, two book reviews and a three-volume, authoritative tome on Louisiana Civil Procedure. During his tenure as a district judge he decided hundreds of civil cases. As an appellate judge, he was the author of numerous significant judicial opinions, many of which were published and reviewed in national legal journals. Judge Plotkin was directly involved in teaching other judges. He was a member of the Board and Executive Committee of the Louisiana Judicial College; chairman, creator and lecturer of the Orientation for all new judges from inception to retirement (1989-2002), as well as numerous other programs sponsored by the Judicial College. At the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada, he served for 14 years as professor and director of all civil law courses and received the Distinguished Teaching Award multiple times. Judge Plotkin, throughout his life, also taught and lectured for several academic institutions. He became an Adjunct Professor of Law at Tulane Law School, first serving as codirector of Trial Advocacy. After 15 years he was selected to teach a course on Louisiana Tort Law. He taught regularly for 29 years at Tulane Law School. While working with Tulane Law School, and serving as a full-time judge, he was selected to teach Trial Advocacy at Harvard Law School and lectured at Harvard Law for 33 years. After Hurricane Katrina, he was invited to teach business Law at the University of New Orleans where he taught for 10 years as an Adjunct Professor of Law. Judge Plotkin was also deeply involved in teaching internationally. He was the first and only full time sitting Louisiana Judge to receive a Fulbright Foreign Scholarship award to teach law in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1999. Thereafter, he received two more Fulbright awards

to Thessaloniki, Greece, and the Republic of Moldova, teaching American and International Law to undergraduates, graduate students, and judges. In addition, he received three special Fulbright grants for short term teaching appointments. As an Adjunct Professor of Law for Tulane Law School he taught in Rhodes, Greece for 20 summers and once in London, England and Jerusalem, Israel. Judge Plotkin also devoted 15 years to the New Orleans Bar Association as host of the locally televised TV series "It's the Law," which won numerous journalism awards. In addition, he served on the Bar Association's longrange planning committee, its Bench-Bar Conference, and the Committee to Improve the Administration of Justice. The honors, accolades and awards garnered by Judge Plotkin over the years were quite numerous, and include the Louisiana State Bar Foundation's Distinguished Jurist Award, The Association of Trial Lawyers of America's Judicial Achievement Award for the State of Louisiana, New Orleans Bar Association's Distinguished Judicial Award, Tulane Law School's Distinguished Teacher Award, an Honorary Order of the Coif from Tulane Law School, Jefferson Bar Association Auxiliary's Outstanding Judge in Louisiana Award, and the Republic of Moldova's Distinguished Teaching Award. Judge Plotkin delighted in being a mentor, advisor, and guide for his students and was proud of their accomplishments. Throughout his 40-year academic career he developed lifelong friendships with his students, colleagues, and staff. He enjoyed receiving birthday cards, emails, and occasional visits from them over the years. His national and international students remained in close contact with the Judge until his death. Judge Plotkin was especially proud of his staff, including distinguished law clerks, particularly the brilliant and talented Beth Akin who dedicated 16 years to serve as his chief clerk. His devoted, outstanding, and invaluable secretary, Dianne Cassioppi, worked with him for 18 years managing his legal obligations, professional engagements, and his many responsibilities. He cherished his many friendships with a variety of friend groups and enjoyed dining and socializing with them into his retirement. His friends were especially important to him, and he loved being in their company. He enjoyed

a special relationship with Dr. Alvin Merlin who he met at Fortier High School in 1949 and they were best friends for more than 75 years. Judge Plotkin was a 33rd degree Mason. He was past Master of Jefferson Lodge 191, District Deputy Grand Master for the 17th Masonic District, a 32nd degree Mason and a member of Jerusalem Temple as a Shriner. He was a mason for over 60 years and remained active until his death. Judge Plotkin was extraordinarily active in community activities. He was immensely proud of the fact that he ran three marathons, including the New York and New Orleans marathons. He chartered and was an original member of the Pete Fountain Half Fast Walking Club and remained an active member throughout his life. He served on the Board of Directors of the New Orleans Opera Association, the New Orleans Symphony, the Louisiana Geriatric Education Center, the American Lung Association nationally and locally, YMCA. He was chairman of the City of New Orleans Hospitality Committee under Mayors Dutch Morial and Sidney Barthelemy. Over the years, he became enthusiastic about duplicate bridge as a hobby. During the shutdown due to the corona virus, he began to play bridge online and became proficient in his play. He served on the Board of Directors for the Bridge Association of Louisiana. He was proud to become a Bridge Life Master at 87. Judge Plotkin enjoyed his Jewish life which influenced him in many ways. Jewish values shaped his ideas of justice, morality, and ethics. He was a thirdgeneration member of Congregation Gates of Prayer, a board of trustee member for over 50 years and was president of the congregation for 3 years. Under his leadership as president, the congregation raised the funds to purchase land, design, and construct the new synagogue in Metairie. He remained active and supportive in the Temple throughout his life. Three generations of Plotkins have led the congregation as president during its more than 175-year history. His grandchildren are now fifth generation mem-

bers. All of Judge Plotkin's accomplishments and accolades pale in comparison to his pride in, and love for his family, particularly his devoted wife of 60 years, Lynn Gertler Plotkin. Throughout their marriage, Judge Plotkin and his wife enjoyed car and mobile home trips which they shared with their children throughout America. They traveled together all over the world, had adventures in backpacking and hiking, taking cruises, and enjoying time in foreign countries. She was his loving sweetheart, patient and understanding partner, inspiration, advisor, critic, and the glue that kept the family together while he engaged in his diversified activities. He was particularly proud of his children and their spouses, Louis "Lee" L. Plotkin (Jill), Dr. Scott R. Plotkin (Candace) of Brookline, MA and Rachel M. Plotkin Jaffe (Mark) all of whom are distinguished and accomplished in their profession and endeavors. They were an essential part of his life. He cherished his seven grandchildren Sydney R. Plotkin Brosler (Jason), Georgia G. Plotkin, Samara J. Plotkin, Leo D. Jaffe, Eli S. Jaffe, Serena L. Plotkin and Jacob L. Plotkin and one great grandchild Ari E. Brosler, all of whom brought extraordinary joy to him during his life. He loved all his children, and the grandchildren loved him and were remarkably close to him during his lifetime. He enjoyed spending time with them and regaling them with stories from his career, listening to their adventures and was not

shy about giving them grandfatherly advice about life. He is also survived by his sister Elinor "Hedy" P. Sussman (Gerald) and brother R. Ronald Plotkin (Caren). Funeral services for Judge Plotkin will be held from the Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home Chapel, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd., New Orleans on Thursday, August 28, 2025 at 12:00 Noon, with visitation beginning at 10:00 AM.

OPINION N O L A.C O M/opinions

OUR VIEWS

UNO honors Bob Livingston and launches a rebirth Monday’s dedication of the East Campus of the University of New Orleans Research and Technology Park in honor of former U.S. Rep. Bob Livingston was a welcome development for several reasons. First, the new Congressman Bob Livingston East Campus recognizes the contributions Livingston, who represented Louisiana’s 1st Congressional District from 1977 to 1999, made to his state and nation. Second, it’s a reminder that it is indeed possible to serve local and national needs while trimming the federal budget to more manageable size. Third, it highlights anew the importance of UNO as it works through the process of rejoining the Louisiana State University system, and should inspire Louisianans to revitalize UNO as the excellent research and teaching university it can be. When he chaired the House Appropriations Committee in the mid-1990s, Livingston proved one of the most successful budget cutters in U.S. history. But he did it carefully, cutting duplication and inefficiencies rather than essentials. And, more to the point here, he did it while ensuring that national needs were married to good local projects. At the lakefront, Livingston secured $220 million to consolidate the U.S. Navy’s nationwide information technology into two massive buildings at UNO. For a quarter century now, the facilities have been serving the national defense, while bringing $350 million in economic benefits to the state and serving as training grounds for university students. These sorts of solutions were a habit for Livingston, now 82, who worked with fellow Republicans as well as Democrats to secure funding for shipbuilding, port expansion, drainage improvements, streetcar lines, the project that would grow into the National WWII Museum and more. A key lesson is that bipartisan goodwill joined with diligent attention to local needs can indeed produce real accomplishments through spending that is anything but mere government bloat. At a time of deep partisan division in Congress, it was refreshing to see Republican House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who now represents Livingston’s old district, join Democratic former U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu in honoring Livingston’s legacy. This week’s attention to the research park also shines a spotlight on UNO itself. Facing major shortfalls in funding and enrollment, the university nonetheless has the potential to regain its status as an educational powerhouse and a tremendous boon to the city. As one of only three Louisiana schools with a coveted “R2” designation, signifying research leadership, from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, UNO should be a big driver of the entire state’s economy. Noting this week’s 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, GNO Inc. President Michael Hecht said in his remarks that “We’re really beginning the process of rebuilding and reinventing Louisiana for the next 20 years.” That’s a big and worthy ambition, one appropriate for the vision Livingston had in 1991 when he began working to bring the Navy and UNO together.

We need transparency on what’s going on at Angola

Article on Cubs fans brought memories flooding back Mike Smith’s article about New Orleans Cubs fans brought back fond memories. My late mother, Olga Tallant, loved baseball, and in the 1980s, she became a Cubs fan because of the WGN broadcasts. Our youngest son grew up in the 1980s and early ’90s. He played baseball at Lakeview playground, and, influenced by my mother, he too became a Cubs fan. Watching Cubs games or talking about them with his grandmother was a big part of his childhood. I remember a poster he had in his room: Mark Grace stretched out as taut as a wire, making an out at first base. The caption read,

“Grace Under Pressure.” Because of my mother’s and our son’s influence, my husband and I also caught Cubs fever, and still fly the blue-andwhite W flag on our house during the season. A few years ago, Doris Kearns Goodwin wrote an article for AARP magazine about sharing stories and forming memories through baseball. That certainly holds true in our family. (The only Cubs/New Orleans connection missing in the article is Harry Caray’s occasional shout-out to Cubs fans at “Wrigley South,” aka the Milan Lounge.)

Gov. Jeff Landry’s recent state of emergency to reopen Camp J at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola is being sold as a necessity. But we must ask, “Necessary for whom, and for what purpose?” Conflicting accounts are already swirling. Prison staff say immigrants are coming. Others mention youth over 16. Some suggest a mixed population. No agency has confirmed who will be placed there, only that repairs are underway, construction crews are active and the rules for public oversight have been set aside. Under Louisiana Revised Statute 29:724, the governor can bypass normal bidding, suspend certain regulations and commandeer resources in an emergency. But the law also requires the declaration to clearly state the nature of the emergency, the area affected and the conditions that justify it. Where is that full explanation? What specific crisis demands we fast-track reopening a unit shut down in 2018 for its deplorable conditions, a place with faulty locks, crumbling infrastructure and a long record of abuse and extreme isolation on the grounds of a former slave plantation? We are also told an independent contractor has been hired for these repairs. Who owns this company? What are its political or financial ties? Was it selected for expertise or connections? And why are public safeguards, including competitive bidding, being waived to push this deal through? If the state is preparing to confine immigrants, youth or any vulnerable population in one of Louisiana’s most notorious prison units, we deserve clear, public answers before anyone is moved inside. Transparency is not a luxury in matters of human liberty; it is the bare minimum.

KATHLEEN SCHRENK New Orleans

Remember the acts of humanity during Katrina The article “Katrina panel recalls storms’ aftermath” by Tyler Bridges deserves to be widely read. Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that the governmental systems designated to protect us failed when they were needed most. Thousands of people were left abandoned in the heat, without food or water or medical treatment and having no way out. With 4,000 desperate people stranded in a St. Bernard warehouse, Walter Leger Jr. helped to commandeer the Algiers ferries to bring them to safety. When there were not enough qualiﬁed bus drivers, Benny Rousselle evacuated the Belle Chase auditorium by handing the keys to volunteers. He said, “Believe it or not, we got all the

buses back.” Gen. Russel Honoré broke military protocol to bring relief and hope to a broken city when other leaders were paralyzed. What these acts had in common was a love of humanity, a desire for results and the ingenuity to fashion a novel solution by thinking outside of the box. The examples in this article were not isolated. In my experience of having spoken to Katrina survivors, many ordinary people did extraordinary things to bring comfort, food, transportation, safety and water to their fellow citizens. It is worth recalling that Hurricane Katrina sometimes brought out the best in us.

JOHN MENZER New Orleans

Latest incident shows security on Bourbon not improved It has now been more than eight months since a terrorist drove a truck onto Bourbon Street, murdering and maiming scores. Following this attack, federal, state and city authorities have been frantically involved in addressing the vulnerabilities that have allowed such an attack to happen. Apparently, millions have been spent in getting counsel from the highest advisers, consultants and authorities in the land. More importantly, they have been busy ﬁnding solutions so it doesn’t happen again. Our valiant police superintendent has assured us that all is now under control. Or so we’ve been told. It is therefore astonishing that just a few weeks ago, a similar incident

happened. This time, it was a simple delinquent, one of those yahoos who enjoy doing vehicular acrobatics on the public roadways. We will never know why he decided to drive into a crowd of pedestrians at Bourbon and Conti streets. What we do know is that the only thing that stopped him was two ofﬁcers on duty, one of whom was sent to the hospital, and the way they did it was by bravely standing in the path of the vehicle. Where are the barriers? Where are the results of the consulting? Where is the police superintendent? Where is the outrage from the press that something like that could happen again?

In other gut-wrenching tales, animals were trapped in The Lamar-Dixon Expo Center flooding cages or left to dog-padbecame the headquarters of the largest animal shelter and rescue dle for hours in an effort to find operation in U.S. history. dry land.

The epidemic of abandoned pets was a wake-up call for policymakers and animal advocates alike. It was clear that the status quo unnecessarily threatened animal lives and was in critical need of reform. And to their credit, federal lawmakers and President George W. Bush met the moment. In 2006, bipartisan legislation was passed by Congress and signed into law requiring states seeking federal disaster aid to accommodate pets and service animals in evacuation plans. That includes providing animal-friendly emergency housing. The law, called the PETS Act, also empowers the Federal Emergency Management Agency to directly rescue, care for and protect animals affected by natural disasters. Incorporating pets into the nation’s disaster response framework represented a landmark moment for animal welfare. To-

day, it’s also credited with saving human lives. A survey by PetSmart Charities reveals that more than 70% of pet owners would ignore evacuation orders if their furry family member could not come along. And 80% said they would give up their spot at an emergency shelter if pets were not permitted entry. In short, Americans are now more likely to follow safety protocols and evacuate danger zones when their pets are part of the plan. Building on that legacy, we can do more. Elected officials in Washington could amend federal law to expand options for animalinclusive housing following natural disasters ranging from floods to tornadoes. One idea could be to offer financial incentives, such as tax credits to hotels and motels that temporarily accept guests with pets. That way, families and their pets could more easily stay together.

State legislatures could pursue other policies in tandem, as some already are. For example, a new law in Washington state, an area often at the epicenter of wildﬁres, emphasizes that local governments must incorporate pets when planning for natural disasters. Meanwhile, Florida adopted a new policy this year that makes it a felony to restrain or abandon a pet when an evacuation order is in effect. Many young Americans today were not alive to experience the horrors of Hurricane Katrina unfolding. But through the stories of heartbreak and tragedy, as well as those of compassion, hope and bravery, we can ensure that the lessons of 2005 continue to inform policy changes that help keep America’s pets safe. Robin Ganzert is the president and CEO of the American Humane Society.

Dr. Felix G. Rabito, Sr., age 95, of Mandeville, Louisiana, passed away on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on May 13, 1930, in New Orleans, Louisiana, the second son of Anthony Rabito and Amelia Chetta Rabito. He is survived by his loving wife of 69 years, Janice Pedelahore Rabito; their four children, Gia M. Rabito (Sid Bhansali), Feli‐ cia A. Rabito (William Elli‐ son), Felix G. Rabito, Jr. (Mary Frances Slahetka Ra‐ bito) and Michael S. Rabito (Robin Jermann Rabito); six grandchildren, Kather‐ ine DiLeo (David Brand), Ara Ellison, Emily Ellison, Felix M. Rabito, Julia Rabito and Thomas Rabito; and extended family many members and friends. He was preceded in death by his older brother Anthony Rabito, Jr. and his younger brother, Frank Rabito, both of New Orleans. Felix grad‐ uated from Tulane Univer‐ sity and LSU Medical School with his Residency spent at Charity Hospital. During the Korean Conﬂict, he served in the United States Airforce as Air Force Captain, Medical Corp sta‐ tioned at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia. Returning to New Orleans, he became a highly re‐ and devoted spected physician practicing Inter‐ nal Medicine and Cardiol‐ ogy until he retired at age 85. Felix started his prac‐ tice of medicine at Baptist, Mercy and Hotel Dieu hos‐ pitals, before committing himself to the develop‐ ment of a large multi-spe‐ cialty internal medicine practice, the Internal Medi‐ cine Group (IMG), afﬁliated with Pendelton Memorial

Orleans East. There he su‐ pervised the first Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at Methodist and, together with his partners, grew IMG to be one of the largest group of physicians in practice in New Orleans expanding to communities in East St. Tammany and Jefferson parishes. Adja‐ cent to Methodist, he and his partners built the Med‐ ical Center of East New Or‐ leans, a 13-story medical complex which housed multi-specialties to better serve the growing commu‐ nity of East New Orleans. Throughout his career, he held leadership positions in many medical societies and received numerous recognitions including the American College of Physi‐ cians Laureate Award. He was also a medical consul‐ tant to Chevron Oil Com‐ pany, Shell Oil Company, Louisiana Land & Explo‐ ration, and was a consul‐ tant to the Federal Aviation Administration. After Felix retired from IMG, he and Janice relocated to their weekend home in Mandev‐ ille, where he established a solo practice and enjoyed serving his patients for an‐ other 15 years. Felix and Janice were members of the Beau Chene golfing community for nearly 50 and had many years friends both North and South of the lake.

He was about golf passionate which he enjoyed playing with Janice, proudly stat‐ ing that together they had the perfect game – she the long game and he the short game.

Schwartz, Shirley Burvant

Mom was a lifetime daughter of New Orleans, born in the family home on Robert Street on January 9, 1929 and passed away on August 20, 2025. Recently when asked, she would declare her age as, "96 and a half". She is survived by her daughter Elizabeth Ann Griffith (Jeffery), and her son August Gerard Schwartz. She is predeceased by her husband Eugene August Schwartz, her eldest daughter Mary Louise Schwartz, her father Julien Joseph Burvant, her mother Gertrude Santana Burvant, and her brother Dr. Julien Robert Burvant. It's important to note that Mom was devastated by the loss of her sister-in-law, Josie Corte Burvant, also 96 years old, who passed away in April of this year. Mom and Josie were classmates at Loyola both studying Medical Technology. Mom was proud to have descended from the families of Antonio Mondelli and his son-in-law Leon Daniel Pomarede, both early artists in the city of New Orleans and both having contributed greatly to the artwork of our Catholic diocese. Most recognizable of that work is Pomarede's three panel fresco painted behind the alter of St Patrick's Church in New Orleans. Mom was the only girl in her extended family that was comprised of her brother Bob, and cousins Urban and Donald

Pfefferle. Almost the same age and considered as family was John "Jack" May who was adopted by her grandmother Lutille Pomarede Santana. We have many family photos of mom, Bob, Urban, Donald and Jack, who we always called, "Uncle Jack". Shirley was a graduate of Dominican High School and Cum Laude, Loyola University, class of 1949, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology. Mom was a devout Catholic, originally a congregant at St. Andrew the Apostle and for the most recent decades at Holy Spirit, both in Algiers. For decades mom enjoyed annual retreats at the Cenacle, where she served as a retreat captain for the Archdiocese of New Orleans Retreat Center. In 1963, as a young mother of three, mom joined ranks with several other New Orleans mothers, including Delores Cunningham and Jane Lambert, to found Children's House, the first Montessori school in New Orleans. She later poured her energies into Montessori education, becoming a Montessori directress certified by Montessori World Education Institute, San Luis Obispo, CA and St Nicholas Training Center, London England. She continued her studies in early childhood development at Xavier University and the University of California, Santa Barbara. Mom taught at Children's House Montessori for many years and eventually opened her own school, HOPE Montessori, (House Of Preprimary Education). After she retired from classroom teaching mom was proud to assist with the education and certification process for Montessori teachers - this primarily with Teri Bickham at Oaks Montessori in Hammond. In addition to being a founding member of Children's House Inc, she was a founding member of The Greater New Orleans Montessori Society. In her mid 80's after 30 years she finally retired completely from Montessori education. For many years mom enjoyed studying french at Alliance Francaise of New Orleans. Mom was an active participant and student at the People Program, a non profit providing diverse classes to seniors. Her passion with l fi l d h

languages first led her there to refresh her French and she eventually taught both entry level and intermediate French classes. In addition to teaching she took classes in Italian, art history, word processing and many other subjects. Second only to her children were her pets. Mom greatly loved her animals and her home was never without a cat or two, or a dog. Even until her death she talked regularly about her last and most beloved dog and companion Cheri who passed two years ago. Mom loved seafood and her favorite was a good fried soft shell crab from any corner of the city. And she loved breakfast or lunch at La Madeleine where her favorite meal was croque monsieur with a cup of French roast coffee. In recent years her favorite local casual dining spots were Dimartinos and Olive Branch. We would be remiss to not mention our many family outings to the now long gone Berdou's restaurant with Madam Berdou in Gretna, Fitzgeralds seafood restaurant at the lakefront, and De-No Seafood restaurant Gretna. She loved studying languages, reading mystery novels, and spending time in her garden. Mom had a green thumb and a particular passion for antique roses. The family would like to give special thanks to Deb Pamplin and her son Justin who originally began as twice a week dog walkers but who later became indispensable helpers and close friends. Lastly, we each have angels in our life and mom's angel was her care giver, close friend and companion, Janice Thomas. Janice cared for mom for the better part of a decade, managing her household, doctor visits, medications, shopping and meals, arranging weekend care givers (thank you Donna Perkins and Tammy Nora), and all aspects of her life. She became an indispensable part of mom's life and we are forever indebted to her. We wholeheartedly trusted Janice to care for our mom, and without her we could not have kept our promise to keep mom at home till the end - which she did. To our angel Janice, thank you for helping us, guiding us and holding our hands along the journey of elder care. A mass celebrating mom will be held at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, h i l d

5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. New Orleans, LA 70124 on October 11 at 10 am. Visitation will be at 9:00 am. By then Elizabeth and I will have already placed mom's ashes in the mausoleum in Lake Lawn with Mary and Dad. In lieu of flowers please support your local SPCA or just adopt a pet and love it.

Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler prepares for a play against the Jacksonville Jaguars during the second half of a preseason game at the Caesars Superdome on Aug. 17.

SNAPS DECISION Saints to start the season with Rattler under center

BY MATTHEW PARAS Staff writer

Before the New Orleans Saints’ team meeting Tuesday, Kellen Moore pulled both of his quarterbacks aside. It was time to tell them his decision on who would start the Sept. 7 season opener against the Arizona Cardinals. In the end, Moore went with Spencer Rattler. Rattler will be the starting quarterback, earning the role over rookie Tyler Shough and Jake Haener — the latter of whom was released as part of New Orleans’ cuts to get the roster to 53 players. “Really, really excited for him,” Moore said of Rattler. “He’s done an awesome job this offseason. He’s just been consistent. He’s made some really good decisions throughout this whole entire process. His ability to make plays with his

arm and his feet have certainly shown up. “He’s earned this opportunity. He’s going to do a tremendous job for us.” Rattler gives the Saints a slightly more experienced option. The 2024 fifth-round pick appeared in seven games with six starts for the Saints last season. Although the Saints were winless in those contests, they were valuable opportunities for Rattler — who grew substantially from the reps. That experience was evident in camp as Rattler looked more decisive, and he started two of the three preseason games. “I’m obviously excited to be the guy going into Week 1,” Rattler said. “I want to lead this team. I want to lead these guys and just keep fighting. That’s one thing I can promise is putting my all on that field, and I know everybody else will. “It’s good to gain that confidence from your coach to make that decision.”

The Saints were in need of a new quarterback this season after Derek Carr unexpectedly retired in May with a shoulder injury. New Orleans had been aware of the ailment for months before Carr’s decision. To plan for the future, the Saints drafted Shough with the 40th overall pick in April. Even with the selection, the Saints opted to hold a three-man quarterback competition and let the best man win. Shough said he was “super disappointed as a competitor” regarding the decision, but that he would do his best to support Rattler and the team. He maintained that he was happy to be part of the franchise and would continue competing in practice. Moore said he values a quarterback’s development, adding that the Saints would give Shough more time to grow. “There’s a long list of quarterbacks

Coach Brian Kelly drew the proverbial line of demarcation once LSU had collected the signatures from its 2024 freshman class. It was December 2023, and you could see the program transforming, Kelly said at the time, from a team that needed to stockpile transfers just so it could field a roster into one that could pick and choose which positions it would ask SEASON PREVIEW those players to fill. But how many ä LSU at Clemson, transfers would be ideal? Where 6: 30 P.M. SATURDAy,ABC was the sweet spot? Was there a magic number that would bring about some healthy competition without nudging away key returners? And if so, what was it? Kelly wasn’t sure then. Two offseasons later, he may have found his answer. “I use my experience and my sense of when’s the right time to add people to the roster,” Kelly said on Monday, “and I felt like this year was the right time.” So LSU took an aggressive tack. The 18 transfers it identified, Kelly recruited and landed left the 2025 cycle as the nation’s top class, according to 247Sports. Clemson prefers to find players elsewhere. Under coach Dabo Swinney, it has devoted practically zero reSwinney sources to recruiting transfers — a fact that will set up an interesting discrepancy when No. 9 LSU begins its fourth season under Kelly on Saturday (6:30 p.m., ABC) with a road game against No. 4 Clemson. Both teams have national championship hopes. One plunged into the transfer portal to boost its shot at the crown. The other merely took a dip. Swinney hardly uses the portal.

The Tulane football team’s opener against Northwestern on Saturday at Yulman Stadium is shaping up as historical on multiple fronts. For starters, the Green Wave has not hosted any Big Ten team since 1955, when it shut out the same Wildcats 27 years before coach Jon Sumrall was born.

The New Orleans Saints have finalized this year’s initial 53-man roster, and Kellen Moore’s fingerprints are all over it. As a first-time head coach, Analysis Moore’s influence was felt notably in the bold choice to release quarterback Jake Haener. In doing so, the Saints opted to keep two quarterbacks on the roster rather than three. Let’s take a further look at the Saints’ decisions:

Wide receiver (6) Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Devaughn Vele, Brandin Cooks, Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson: Dante Pettis was the odd man out. After trading for Devaughn Vele last week, the Saints had to choose between one of two veterans in Pettis and Cedrick Wilson. While Pettis added some value as a returner, the Saints kept Wilson, who has familiarity with Moore and also gives the Saints another big body (6-2, 197) at the position.

Offensive line (9) Kelvin Banks, Trevor Penning, Erik McCoy, Cesar Ruiz, Taliese Fuaga, Dillon Radunz, Asim Richards, Luke Fortner and Torricelli Simpkins: The Saints traded for Richards — a move made out of necessity after the Saints were decimated at swing tackle. The Saints placed tackles Barry Wesley and Landon Young on injured reserve after waiving Josiah Ezirim and Jonathan Mendoza a day earlier. Richards, a 2023 ﬁfth-round pick, played 177 snaps at left tackle last season for the Cowboys.

Sinner, Swiatek cruise at U.S. Open By The Associated Press NEW YORK — Iga Swiatek is trying to do something no woman has done since Serena Williams in 2012: win the U.S. Open and Wimbledon in the same season. Jannik Sinner is trying to do something no man has done since Roger Federer in 2008: repeat as U.S. Open champion. By the looks of things on Tuesday in Arthur Ashe Stadium as the now-three-day first round wrapped up, the two players who triumphed at the All England Club last month — and who both served short doping-related bans last year — look ready to contend again in New York. And how. The second-seeded Swiatek was up first in the U.S. Open’s main arena and needed merely an hour to dismiss Emiliana Arango of Colombia 6-1, 6-2. No. 1 Sinner then took only 39 minutes more to finish off his 6-1, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Vit Kopriva of the Czech Republic. “Obviously, every year is different,” said Sinner, sporting the white arm sleeve he began wearing after hurting his elbow in a fall during Wimbledon. “You come here starting this tournament, hopefully, the best possible way — which I did.” He certainly showed no signs of the virus that forced him to quit in the first set of the Cincinnati Open final against his biggest rival, No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, last week. Either Sinner or Alcaraz, who have combined to win the past seven major titles, can own the top ATP ranking after these 15 days. Similarly, Swiatek, Coco Gauff or No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, the defending champion, can leave New York atop the WTA. On Tuesday, Sinner saved both break points he faced and won 33 of 40 first-serve points.

Politician replaces Borne as Tiger Stadium voice

Tiger Stadium has a new voice. LSU chose state Rep. Dixon McMakin of Baton Rouge as the new public address announcer for games in Tiger Stadium, The Advocate has learned. McMakin replaces Dan Borne, who did not call games in 2024 because of health issues but ofﬁcially stepped down in July. McMakin also will handle PA duties at LSU men’s basketball games, which Borne also has done since the 1980s. LSU’s football home opener is at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 6 against Louisiana Tech. Longtime LSU PA announcers Bill Franques and Mike Smith also were finalists among more than 40 applications, sources said. Franques works LSU baseball games and ﬁlled in for Borne this past football season, while Smith calls LSU gymnastics meets

Jannik Sinner serves to Vit Kopriva during the first round of the U.S. Open on Tuesday in New york. Swiatek was even more dominant, not only never facing a break point but never even being taken to deuce in any of her eight service games, while accumulating a 26-5 edge in winners. There was a time when some folks, perhaps swayed by Swiatek’s dominance on the French Open’s red clay, thought she couldn’t succeed on the speedier surfaces of hard and grass courts. That certainly was not the case, as her championships at Wimbledon in July and at the U.S. Open in 2022 make obvious. Ten women have split the past 11 trophies in New York; only Naomi Osaka, in 2018 and 2020, won more than one in that span. And Williams, with three in a row

from 2012 to 2014, was the last woman to leave as the champion in consecutive years. As for the men, no one has collected two in a row at the U.S. Open since Federer’s ﬁve straight titles from 2004 to 2008, before he lost in the 2009 ﬁnal to Juan Martin del Potro. Sinner was asked why that is. “We are heading towards end of the season, so some players, they are tired. Some players, they are feeling different. Many things can change. It’s also the last big trophy of the year. ... I always say that the future is unpredictable,” he said. “So I don’t know what’s going to happen this time.” In evening action, everything came up roses for Osaka in her

U.S. Open first-round match. The two-time champion entered the court with sparkly red roses in her ponytail above her red outfit and even a matching Labubu that she named Billie Jean Bling. Osaka’s tennis looked good, too. The No. 23 seed from Japan beat Greet Minnen 6-3, 6-4. Coco Gauff’s first match since enlisting someone to help with her shaky serving got off to a rocky start. She double-faulted in the first game. The only numbers that truly counted in the end were the ones on the Arthur Ashe Stadium scoreboard, and those showed that the No. 3-seeded Gauff held on for a 6-4, 6-7 (2), 7-5 victory over Ajla Tomljanovic.

Houston slugger Yordan Alvarez was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday after sitting out since May 3 while he recovered from a fractured right hand. Alvarez returns after playing four rehabilitation games for Double-A Corpus Christi, where he went 7 for 15 with four doubles, four RBIs and a stolen base. He has been out more than 31/ 2 months with the small fracture in his right hand that was initially diagnosed as a muscle strain. His return should be a big boost to the Astros as the postseason approaches after he led the team in batting average (.308), home runs (35) and RBIs (86) last season. Houston entered Tuesday leading the AL West by 11/2 games over Seattle.

Rangers RHP Eovaldi likely finished for season

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi is likely done for the season because of a rotator cuff strain. Chris Young, the team president of baseball operations, made the announcement Tuesday, a day before Eovaldi’s scheduled start against the Los Angeles Angels when he had another opportunity to take over as MLB’s qualified ERA leader. He is 11-3 with a career-best 1.73 ERA in 22 starts. Eovaldi has been one of baseball’s best pitchers all season, but he was left off the American League All-Star team and hasn’t been among the qualiﬁed leaders after missing most of June because of elbow inﬂammation.

NEW YORK — Images of Althea Gibson are everywhere at the U.S. Open, 75 years since she became the first Black player at a major tennis tournament. The American Grand Slam event’s logo is multilayered artwork of her face in profile. Clips of Gibson flash across screens inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. A tribute narrated by Venus Williams is part of the soundtrack during breaks. “The most important part is that we are celebrating it and recognizing it because Althea accomplished so much,” Williams said. “A lot of it has not been given the credit it deserves and the attention and the praise.” While Gibson has been memorialized with a statue at the Flushing Meadows site since 2019, she is now at the forefront of the U.S. Open, with signs reading, “Celebrating 75 years of breaking barriers” and two weeks built around honoring her story, a complicated and difficult one without a happy ending. “Personally, I feel like everybody’s waited too long to really celebrate her,” Billie Jean King told The Associated Press. “She was the first, and when you’re the first, you should be celebrated the most.” Gibson fought with the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association just to be admitted in 1950 to what was then called the U.S. Nationals. It took a public letter from prominent white player Alice Marble to make it happen, and even then it wasn’t easy. “(Organizers) put her on a very back court, No. 14. Hard to get to. The area for people to watch was tiny. And they changed the rules and sent photographers to take pictures of her match, which was never allowed for other people,” said Sally Jacobs, author of “Althea: The Life of Tennis Cham-

Gibson was the first Black player in a major tennis tournament. pion Althea Gibson.” “Of course many people thought, ‘Well, this could distract her, this could cause commotion.’ This was to bring down her game. They really were making it tough for her.” Gibson beat Barbara Knapp, anyway, before losing to threetime reigning Wimbledon champion Louise Brough. Even as Gibson won Grand Slam titles — what’s now the French Open in 1956, along with the U.S. Nationals and Wimbledon in 1957 and ’58 — success did not open doors. “She grew up in the South and it was the Jim Crow era, so she spent most of her time out of the country playing,” former playerturned-executive Katrina Adams said. “I can’t imagine her trying to compete in America in the ’50s and ’60s and not being treated as a normal human being, not being able to walk into the front door of these clubs and stadiums and being treated the way that she was, but still rising to the occasion and being the champion that she was.”

Gibson played before the professional era, so even the top tournaments had no prize money. As a result, many of her accomplishments have been lost to time, and she wound up quitting to play golf, sing and act. She broke golf’s color barrier, too, released a jazz album, appeared in a movie with John Wayne and performed on “The Ed Sullivan Show” twice. Yet she’s far less known compared to other pioneers of the time. “Her story has been pushed in many ways to the margins,” National Women’s History Museum president and CEO Frédérique Irwin said. “You might think about Jackie Robinson. Everybody knows who Jackie Robinson was. Yet, does anyone, if you walk down the street, know Althea Gibson’s name?” Michelle Curry, the administrator of her estate, said Gibson “sometimes becomes invisible” because she was not loud about her plight. King, who idolized her before the two got to know each

other as adults, saw the pressure of people wanting Gibson to speak up more about social justice and observed, “She was trying to survive.” Gibson’s autobiography, released in 1958, was titled, “I Always Wanted To Be Somebody.” Zina Garrison, who reached the Wimbledon ﬁnal in 1990, said Gibson “never really got her due.” The USTA sought input from contemporaries and members of the Black community to come up with ways to honor Gibson all these years later and more than two decades since her death. Chief diversity and inclusion ofﬁcer Marisa Grimes Galiber said the goal was to make sure people understood Gibson’s history. “This was an opportunity to maybe make right what we didn’t do as good a job of celebrating Althea many years ago that we could right that wrong today,” said Nicole Kankam, USTA professional tennis marketing and entertainment managing director.

Cal Raleigh hit his 50th home run on Monday, extending his majorleague record for home runs by a catcher and entering elite company. Raleigh joined Mickey Mantle as the only switch-hitters to hit 50 homers in a season, and he became the eighth player in major-league history to reach the half-century mark in August. Batting from the right side, Raleigh sent a 3-2 fastball from San Diego pitcher JP Sears 419 feet into the second deck in left ﬁeld. He’s the second Mariners player to hit 50 homers in a season. Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. hit 56 in 1997 and again in 1998. Salvador Perez had the previous record for homers by a catcher with 48 in 2021.

Alabama, WVU football teams cancel series

Alabama and West Virginia mutually agreed to cancel their homeand-home series that had been scheduled for 2026 and 2027, the schools announced Tuesday. Alabama said it was making adjustments to its nonconference schedule in response to last week’s announcement that the Southeastern Conference would go from playing eight to nine league games starting in 2026. West Virginia said it wanted to align with the scheduling philosophy followed by many teams contending for a College Football Playoff berth. That means playing a fellow power-conference opponent, one from the Group of Five and one from the second-tier FCS. Alabama now will play East Carolina on Sept. 5, 2026, as well as South Florida on Sept. 12 and Florida State on Sept. 19.

Many transfer QBs remain in conference BY STEVE MEGARGEE

years at FCS program Incarnate Word after stints at Texas A&M (2019-21) and Auburn (2022). Edwards makes his Wisconsin debut Thursday against Miami (Ohio), whose starting quarterback is in a somewhat similar situation. Dequan Finn was the MidAmerican Conference MVP at Toledo in 2023, spent last season as a backup at Big 12 program Baylor and is now back in the MAC with Miami

(Ohio). In a year when well over half of the 68 Power Four schools are projected to start quarterbacks who signed elsewhere out of high school, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that some end up at multiple schools within the same conference. But it does reflect how much the game has changed in the last few years. Until the summer of 2021, the Southeastern Conference

required players who transferred within the conference to sit out a season of competition. The SEC still prohibits players from leaving one conference school for another during the spring transfer window, so UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava couldn’t consider an SEC school when he left Tennessee in spring practice. Whether these guys have any more familiarity with their new schools because

of their conference backgrounds is up for debate. After all, in this era of super conferences, teams don’t face all their conference rivals. “I wouldn’t say there’s any more familiarity just because he played in the league,” Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said. “I do think it gives him, not to say credibility, but a leg up in understanding how this league works and how tough it is, how hard it is on the road and different things. I like that it bodes well not only for him but for us as we go through the season.” Florida State knew Castellanos all too well before he joined the Seminoles. After accumulating 305 yards passing and 95 yards rushing in a 31-29 loss to the Seminoles in 2023, Castellanos threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third score in a 28-13 victory at Florida State last year. Castellanos left the team and entered the transfer portal after losing his starting spot last year, but Seminoles coach Mike Norvell said the quarterback has been a model teammate. “We had very high expectations when he joined the team of what he would bring,” Norvell said. “It’s easy to see the athleticism, the skill, the games he’s

from the 1. Sumrall believes the key is avoiding similar mistakes. “Early in the year, more games are lost than won,” he said. “It’s how do you just play the game clean? We try to do a good job around here on football IQ and teaching the game. It’s about protecting the ball. It’s like, how can we avoid doing really dumb things?” Northwestern, which plummeted to 4-8 last year after an 8-5 debut season for coach David Braun in 2023, was picked second-tolast out of 18 teams in the preseason Big Ten media poll. This, despite adding former SMU starting quarterback Preston Stone, who guided the Mustangs to an 8-0 American Conference record in 2023. Tulane is the consensus favorite to win the American Conference after reaching the league’s title game the past three seasons. Still, those dramatically

different forecasts do not eliminate the normal issue teams such as Tulane face against Power Four opponents. “The line of scrimmage has been a challenge in the games I’ve been a part of,” Sumrall said. “If you look at their O-line, they are a bigger outﬁt than we are used to seeing, but I don’t really overthink the conference affiliation too much on the outcome.” Running back Maurice Turner, a Louisville transfer who won the starting job at a competitive position, expects the Tulane offensive line to make a difference. “They’ve actually boosted my conﬁdence a lot from the spring until now,” he said. “They’ve been consistent throughout camp. I’m ready to see them go out there and just make plays to help the offense score touchdowns.” If the Wave wins, a likely factor will be a historically quick turnaround for BYU

transfer quarterback Jake Retzlaff after joining the team in late July. Although Sumrall has no plan to name his starter until one minute before the 11 a.m. start Saturday — he altered it to 10:59:59 when he spoke Tuesday — he conceded it was no secret Retzlaff had taken most of the ﬁrst-team reps the past two weeks. Iowa transfer Brendan Sullivan practiced Tuesday morning, but he is less than two weeks removed from an ankle injury and bone bruise.

His status is questionable no matter how much he wants to play after spending two years at Northwestern in 2022 and 2023. “He looked pretty good today, but after today we’ll see how he feels,” Sumrall said. “I’ve told him the whole time we’re not going to rush him back. If you’re ready, you’re ready. If you’re not, you’re not, and we’re going to live with that. Before Brendan was down, it was kind of Brendan and Jake’s battle.” Retzlaff started every

said in July at ACC media days, “because half of my roster would be gone, and I’d have to put it together. But if you study our team, our retention is as good anybody in the country. Guys graduate, they stay and we recruit.” Kelly has said that he’d rather not rely so heavily on the portal. The problem is that he and his staff haven’t retained their freshman signees at a rate on par with Clemson’s (though no team has). LSU inked 26 recruits to its 2023 freshman class — a group that was rated among the ﬁve best in the nation, per 247Sports composite rankings. Starters such as Weeks, DJ Chester, Tyree Adams and Ashton Stamps arrived as part of that haul, but the bulk of the class has since entered the portal. Seventeen of those signees, including six of the 10 most highly rated recruits, now play for different teams. Those losses — and the need to replenish them — are part of what drove the urgency with which LSU built its 2025 roster. One of the other drivers, Kelly said, was the need to take advantage of Weeks, Nussmeier and Perkins returning for one final year together. If LSU wanted that trio to anchor a team that reaches the College Football Playoff, then it needed to surround them with readymade contributors. The only place to ﬁnd those players? The transfer portal. “Building a program, unfortunately, takes some time,” Kelly said. “And the time element — nobody wants to hear about it. I get it. I understand everybody

wants to win the national championship this year. I want to win it as well, but the reality of it is we had some work to do. And that work was building a foundational piece in this program that was built on consistency and high standards on a day-today basis. That takes some time.” A highly rated transfer class doesn’t guarantee a successful season. The next team to sign more than 10 transfers and win the national championship will be the ﬁrst. LSU could become that program, but it must first buck a trend. Each of the ﬁrst three teams to earn 247Sports’ No. 1 transfer class ranking — Southern Cal (2022), Colorado (2023) and Ole Miss (2024) — missed the CFP. Clemson made the 12-team field last season without a single transfer on its roster. Kelly has a team that he thinks can win the SEC and join that mix for the first time in his tenure. He didn’t before. Then he settled on an approach to the transfer portal, one that Clemson will put to the test in the showdown set to kick off Saturday. “We weren’t ready to bring in guys from the outside until our own program was in a really good space,” Kelly said. “It took us a few years, and I felt like this year we were in a place where we could invite people into our locker room — transfers, if you will.”

AP sports writer

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin quarterback Billy Edwards wasn’t necessarily looking to stay in the Big Ten when he decided to leave Maryland and enter the transfer portal. It just worked out that way. Edwards is one of several potential Power Four starting quarterbacks who switched schools without switching conferences. “That’s obviously something in the back of your head, but I don’t think that was a main thought of mine,” said Edwards, who threw for 2,881 yards and 15 touchdowns for a Maryland team that went 4-8 last season. “I think the best thing for me was just finding the right opportunity, the best opportunity for me. It happened to be in the same conference.” Some other Power Four starting quarterbacks who previously played with a conference foe are Auburn’s Jackson Arnold (formerly at Oklahoma), Kentucky’s Zach Calzada (Texas A&M and Auburn), Florida State’s Thomas Castellanos (Boston College) and Rutgers’ Athan Kaliakmanis (Minnesota). Kaliakmanis is in his second season as the Rutgers starter, while the others are new to their current schools. Calzada played the last two

He is 0-5 against Power Four opponents, losing to Ole Miss 2810 in 2022 and Kansas State 42-13 in 2023 while at Troy, and to Kansas State 34-27, Oklahoma 34-19 and Florida 33-8 after taking over at Tulane last season. With the exception of the Gators, each of those teams was ranked.

LSU

Continued from page 1C Clemson staff have signed only six total transfers — a third of the number LSU signed in 2025 alone. The key is retention. Swinney hasn’t pursued transfers not only because he hasn’t wanted to but also because he hasn’t really needed to. Consider the fact that Clemson has lost an average of only 10 players to the last five transfer portal windows. LSU, in comparison, has seen more than double that average number of defections (21) in each of its first three full offseasons under Kelly. Continuity has allowed Clemson to build a roster with more returning production than any other team in the country, according to ESPN’s Bill Connelly. LSU ranks 24th on that list. It has some essential returners — such as Garrett Nussmeier, Whit Weeks and Harold Perkins — but it’s also asking transfers to fill important roles at almost every position. Three will catch passes for Nussmeier. Two will start on the offensive line. Four will rotate in and out of the defensive line. One will work as LSU’s top outside corner, and two others will man the first-team safety spots. Clemson, on the other hand, has key roles lined up for only two transfers: former Purdue edge rusher Will Heldt and former Alabama outside linebacker Jeremiah Alexander. “If I took a job somewhere else, I’d be the greatest portal recruiter ever,” Swinney

played, the impact he can make. I’m very proud of him for just the investment — the investment in others, the investment into the program. He brings a great spirit into this building.” The list of starting quarterbacks who transferred within their conference would grow if Oregon’s Dante Moore, Maryland’s Justyn Martin and Oklahoma State’s Hauss Hejny win their respective quarterback competitions. Moore started ﬁve games at UCLA in 2023 — when both UCLA and Oregon hadn’t yet left the Pac-12 for the Big Ten — before transferring last year. Martin made one start for UCLA in 2024. Hejny appeared in four games but didn’t attempt a pass for TCU last season. The ability to transfer within a conference does create potential matchups between a quarterback and his former school. For instance, Kaliakmanis threw three touchdown passes against his old team last year when Rutgers defeated Minnesota 26-19. Edwards and Wisconsin host Maryland on Sept. 20. If Martin wins Maryland’s starting job, he will play against his ex-team Oct. 18 when the Terrapins visit UCLA.

He will try to make his crash course in the Tulane offense pay off in a smooth ride Saturday. “Jake is a real stand-up guy,” Tulane linebacker and co-captain Sam Howard said. “He has shown his leadership from where he was before. Everyone has meshed well with him. As a team, we haven’t missed a step or taken a step back. I can’t wait to see him play this week.”

Rattler now will try to win over fan base There really was no right or wrong choice. Despite a New Orleans Saints fan base that was as divided on the Spencer Rattler vs. Tyler Shough quarterback battle as it was for Jameis Winston vs. Tayson Hill in 2021, Kellen Moore really couldn’t go wrong with whichever quarterback he gave the keys to his offense. Rod The QB race Walker itself was as close as the unscientiﬁc poll I conducted on the social media website X earlier this week. Fifty-one percent of the fans wanted Rattler as the starter. The other 49% preferred Shough. A six-word sentence from Moore on Tuesday afternoon brought the back-and-forth debate to a close. “Spencer Rattler is our starting quarterback,” Moore said. And with that announcement, Moore ﬁnally put to rest the most asked sports question in New Orleans this summer: “Who’s going to be the Saints quarterback?” Well, now we know. “I worked my tail off to achieve this, and now it’s here,” Rattler said. “I’m ready to work with the guys and get this season going. I feel like we are headed in the right direction, and everybody is excited right now.” Maybe everyone except some of those in the 49%. Ideally, those fans will accept Moore’s decision and rally around Rattler much like his teammates did when the second-year quarterback led the game-tying drive in the second preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

even sweeter. It helps that he no longer has to wonder whether he has done enough to win the job. “I feel like it’s a clear mind (now),” Rattler said. “Obviously, I’m excited to be the guy going into Week 1. I want to lead this team, lead these guys and just keep fighting. That’s one thing I can promise, is putting my all on that field.” Rattler knows the fan base was split down the middle all summer. “You’re going to see that in every competition around the league,” Rattler said. “You can’t listen to the outside noise. You go out in public and everybody shows love, and it’s great. We need our fans this year to support us as a group, big time. That starts Week 1, from the first snap to the last snap. We’re going to need them this year for sure, and I know they will bring the juice.” It took two months and three days of training camp for Moore to decide. It’s a race that came down to the wire.

Saints bolster depleted O-line via trade with Cowboys BY LUKE JOHNSON and MATTHEW PARAS Staff writers

Injuries have hit the New Orleans Saints offensive line depth hard, and the team made a trade Tuesday to help address the issue. The Saints acquired offensive lineman Asim Richards from the Dallas Cowboys. To acquire him, the Saints and CowRichards boys agreed to a pick swap: Dallas will get the Saints’ 2028 sixth-rounder while the Saints will receive Dallas’ 2028 seventh-rounder in addition to Richards. Richards, a 2023 fifth-round pick, has played 220 offensive snaps in two seasons with the

SAINTS NOTEBOOK Cowboys. More than 90% of his offensive snaps came at left tackle, though his reps were split more evenly between left tackle and left guard during this preseason. He played left tackle at North Carolina, starting 37 games there during his college career. Although Richards won’t play early with New Orleans, he offers a security blanket for a team that has been beset by offensive line injuries in recent weeks. Swing tackle Landon Young suffered an ankle injury in the preseason ﬁnale that Moore announced Tuesday will require season-ending surgery. Interior offensive line backups Will Clapp and Nick Saldiveri also suffered season-ending injuries in training camp.

was the more productive signal caller. Though he threw a picksix, the rookie responded with an electric 54-yard touchdown pass to Mason Tipton. His performance earned him the start against the Jacksonville Jaguars the following week. Against the Jaguars, Rattler showed he wasn’t going to lose the job without a ﬁght. The second-year signal caller engineered three scoring drives — including an impressive game-tying series that ended with Rattler hitting Dante Pettis for a touchdown and converting a two-point attempt on a scramble to the end zone. The battle came down to the third game against the Denver Broncos. And Rattler “checked it off” with how he approached that entire week, Moore said Tuesday. The coach was impressed with Rattler’s Wednesday practice at the Caesars Superdome and carried the momentum into Saturday’s ﬁnale. By the end of the preseason, the stats between the two were nearly even. Shough completed 66.7% (36 of 54) of his passes for 333 yards, a touchdown and an interception while also having one rushing touchdown and a fumble. Rattler, by contrast, completed 69.8% (30 of 43) of his passes for 295 yards, a touchdown and an interception while also losing a fumble. In the end, Moore chose Rattler. “We feel like he put himself in a position to have a successful start,” Moore said. “And he’s going to give us a heck of a chance to compete and go win some games.”

who have had plenty of successful careers that get to be scout-team quarterbacks for a certain amount of time,” Moore said. “Both of these guys have an excellent opportunity and an excellent path to be starting quarterbacks in this league.” Added Shough: “He (Moore) was very complimentary of the progression (I’ve made). He said he loves everything about it.” Moore took his time to announce a starter in part because of how close the competition turned out to be. At the beginning, Rattler looked the best of the group as he was decisive, on time and conﬁdent with each pass. Moore also praised the quarterback’s mobility, noting Rattler could create off-schedule plays with his legs. Shough, by contrast, initially seemed a step slower as he adjusted to the NFL’s pace, going through a learning curve typical of a rookie. About the time the Saints departed to spend nine days in California for training camp, Shough turned a corner. He started to get the ball out much faster and was sharper on throws. With Shough’s progression, Moore started to consistently rotate Rattler and Shough with the 1’s in practice — something he avoided for the ﬁrst part of camp, when he opted to rotate his quarterbacks by the day. In the preseason, Rattler and Shough both had their moments.

Haener decision In a surprise move, the Saints released quarterback Jake Haener. The 2023 fourth-round pick out of Fresno State began the summer in the mix for the starting quarterback job, but he fell out of favor as the coaching staff gave more reps to Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough as training camp progressed. Moore said the third quarterback is a “tricky spot” when trying to put the roster together. “I kind of lived that world a little bit,” Moore said about his playing career. “... You’re always trying to keep three (quarterbacks) in a perfect world, but you might be a little bit shorter in some other spots and you need to address it. “We’ll see how that all goes for him on a personal level, and hopefully we’ll see if the opportunity presents itself for him to

get back here.” Although Haener could return to the Saints on the practice squad, he ﬁrst has to clear waivers — every other NFL team now has a chance to claim him and pick up the ﬁnal two years of his rookie contract. Even if Haener does clear waivers, he still may seek opportunities elsewhere after falling behind two quarterbacks who were drafted after him in New Orleans. Haener, 26, appeared in eight games for the Saints. In his lone start — a Dec. 15 game against the Washington Commanders — he was benched at halftime for Rattler. The quarterback also struggled in this year’s preseason. Playing with the third unit, Haener completed 10 of 17 passes for 78 yards and an interception.

round pick and member of the 2019 LSU national championship team, did not make the 53-man roster. Edwards-Helaire joined the Saints late last season after he was released by the Kansas City Chiefs, playing in two games and rushing for 46 yards on 13 carries. He entered training camp as one of several players vying for a roster spot behind Alvin Kamara. New Orleans kept four running backs with Kendre Miller, rookie Devin Neal and offseason acquisition Velus Jones backing up Kamara. Edwards-Helaire is a Baton Rouge native who may be welcome back on the practice squad, with the potential to rejoin the active roster at some point.

Tight end (3) Juwan Johnson, Jack Stoll, Moliki Matavao: Treyton Welch’s release came as a minor surprise as he seemed to outperform Matavao down the stretch of training camp. But it makes sense the Saints want to keep their seventh-round rookie over someone who likely will land on the practice squad. Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau must miss at least the next four games after being placed on the physically unable to perform list.

Edge rusher (4) Chase Young, Carl Granderson, Cam Jordan, Chris Rumph: There was some question as to how many edge defenders the Saints would keep. It turns out the number was four, which pushed seventh-round rookie Fadil Diggs off the initial 53-man roster. Diggs was the Saints’ last draft pick and the only one who didn’t make the team out of camp. Isaiah Foskey, a 2023 second-round pick, was the other notable cut here.

Love for football grows Edna Karr D-lineman Anderson to bring versatility to LSU

BY CHRISTOPHER DABE

Staff writer

Richard Anderson blasted through the Alexandria offensive line and lifted running back JT Lindsey off his feet. “Then it was like, ‘Bam,’ ” the Edna Karr defensive line standout said as he clapped his hands together. The memory was a special one. Anderson dominated the LHSAA state championship game in December with six tackles behind the line of scrimmage as the Cougars demolished Alexandria 53-8 at the Caesars Superdome. Now comes the ﬁnale. The returning LSWA all-state selection will complete his high school career as a powerful run stopper and play disruptor before the senior joins the LSU football program as a midyear enrollee. The 6-foot-4, 340-pound Anderson could have an even more impactful presence after he lost 35 pounds since January, giving him a lighter playing weight that could add more quickness to his game and have him lining up at all positions along the defensive front. “I think that’s why LSU loves him so much, because he could play anywhere,” Karr coach Brice Brown said. “Especially at that weight, where he’s going to be going against some of the best offensive linemen in the country every day.” The weight loss was only the latest reﬁnement for a player who once struggled to complete conditioning drills in the summer before his freshman season. Anderson spent most of his childhood in Baton Rouge before he returned home to New Orleans just before he started seventh grade at Pierre Capdau School in Gentilly. He arrived at Karr in the summer before ninth grade but did not intend to make football his main sport. He thought

of himself as more of a basketball player. “You could tell the love (for football) wasn’t there at first,” Karr defensive coordinator Taurus Howard said about the player who showed enough size and quickness for coaches to see his potential even before Anderson saw it in himself. “He didn’t really understand what we were saying to him, that, ‘Listen, you could be a big-time ball player,’ ” Howard said. “’You have the size, the skill and the ability.’ I don’t think at that point. ... He didn’t even realize that.” Brown explained to Anderson the potential he had as a football player, that he could be good enough to wear the coveted No. 7 when he was a senior. “He told me he believed in me and that I could do it,” Anderson said. “I could be one of the key players on this team one day.” Anderson, the only boy and fourth oldest among a group of nine siblings, had college coaches asking about him even before he became a varsity starter. “I think once he started getting offers as a sophomore, I think that’s when it was like, ‘OK, listen, I’m a football player,’ ” Brown said. Anderson fully embraced the sport and quickly became a first-team all-district selection as a sophomore when he “fell in love with being on the field,” he said. He relished the playing time and the accountability that came with it. “When you mess up, someone is on you,” Anderson said. “When they mess up, I’m on them.” The two-time all-district selection had another standout season as a junior with 44 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, 18 quarterback hurries, two interceptions and one touchdown. “I’ve grown a lot,” Anderson said. “Coach Brice always says, ‘Don’t let your circumstances affect your hustle,’ and that stuck with me a lot. You don’t know what a lot of people are going through outside these walls when they leave this school. Some people don’t ever leave this school because of the smile this football team puts on their face.”

Anderson said he was raised in what “wasn’t a stable household” but has plenty of love for his family. “My little sisters, they put a smile on my face for real,” Anderson said. “They come see me, running, jumping on me. It’s like, seeing them, that’s who I do it for. My older sisters, I’m there when they need me. I’m there when my mom needs me. I’m there when my dad needs me.” His goal is the NFL. “I’m going to change my family’s whole life and circumstances,” he said. The peak of the season last year came in the state final against Alexandria, on the play when Anderson bolted into the backfield and lifted the running back off his feet and brought him to the turf. “I looked at the sideline and celebrated,” said Anderson, who remembered how “everybody was cheering” when he looked to the large video screen behind the end zone and saw a replay of his stop behind the line of scrimmage. “I had my brothers out there,” Anderson said as he mentioned the late Corey Adams, an Ole Miss freshman who died in a shooting just outside Memphis, Tennessee, in July. Anderson said Adams would talk with him about the LSU-Ole Miss games they planned to play against each other in the coming years. They played the past two seasons beside each other on the Karr defensive line. “He was always there with me,” Anderson said. “If I do a good play, he comes and celebrates, the first one there.” Anderson, now with more muscle and less mass, will play his final high school season with another set of teammates that includes defensive backs Aiden Hall (LSU commitment), Hayward Howard (Texas) and Maurice Williams (Colorado) among the several defenders who will move on to the next level. At the front of that defense will be the large young man in the No. 7 jersey they call “Big Rich.” Ready to once again burst into the backfield. Contact Christopher Dabe at cdabe@theadvocate.com

Richard Anderson DL | Edna Karr The 6-foot-4, 340-pound LSU commitment, all-state selection and two-time all-district pick is on a defense that includes power conference commitments Aiden Hall (LSU), Hayward Howard (Texas) and Maurice Williams (Colorado) in the secondary. Jeffrey Curtis LB | John Curtis The only returning all-district linebacker from last season led his team in tackles (116) despite missing two-and-a-half games to an injury. Easton Royal WR | Brother Martin Among the top wideouts in the 2027 recruiting class and part of a talented group of pass catchers that includes senior wideouts Rowan Lipscomb, Brodie Dumontier and Rex Leblanc. Thomas Vaughn RB | Warren Easton The all-district performer rushed for 1,545 yards and topped 2,000 yards from scrimmage with 17 TDs on a team that includes OL Jalen Chapman (LSU) after he missed much of last season to an injury. Miguel Whitley WR | St. Augustine Another top wideout in the 2027 class along with teammate Ray’Quan Williams.

FIVE THINGS TO KNOW 1. Reigning state champion Edna Karr returns QB John Johnson (Liberty commitment) and has RBs Tre Garrison (Nicholls State) and Jermond Macklin, and OL Leon Noil (Nebraska) among other standouts. Senior WR Xavier Owens (Fresno State) is a transfer. The three-time reigning district champion Cougars are 20-1 in 9-5A games since they moved up to 5A in 2022. 2. Other returning starters at QB are Jesuit senior Taylor Norton, St. Augustine senior Vashaun Coulon and Easton junior Carl Reed. Brother Martin junior Hudson Fields gained part-time experience over two seasons. 3. Other all-district players back from last season are Jesuit WR Roman Larre and St. Augustine safety Syre Gilmore. Also, back for Jesuit are DL Will Berry (Princeton) and LB Beau Matulewski (Nicholls State). Jesuit junior WR Ja’ir Burks is a state hurdles champion. St. Augustine returns DL Ty Dominique (UL). 4. Holy Cross RB Ke’Rynn Smith brings plenty of experience after an all-district season two years ago. Among other RBs, Curtis senior Jacobi Boudreaux, St. Aug senior Keith Hill and Rummel junior Coryan Hawkins have starting experience. 5. The district has put two teams in the state semifinals in each of the three years since the select playoff field expanded to 24 teams in 2022. Brother Martin (2022), Rummel (2023) and Curtis (2024) posted losing district records in those seasons, which illustrates the depth of the district.

DeVito, Renfrow among players released as teams cut rosters By The Associated Press Tommy DeVito is among the quarterbacks looking for a new team. The New York Giants waived the local fan favorite on Tuesday as teams released more than 1,100 players before the deadline to trim rosters down to 53. Elsewhere, Kyle Trask lost his job as Baker Mayﬁeld’s backup in Tampa Bay after the team chose veteran Teddy Bridgewater to hold the No. 2 position. Tyler Huntley didn’t make the cut in Cleveland. The veteran QB joined the Browns earlier this month as the ﬁfth QB behind veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Pickett was traded to Las Vegas on Monday. Desmond Ridder, who is 8-10 in his career as a starter, was cut by

the Cincinnati Bengals. The Dallas Cowboys waived Will Grier. The Atlanta Falcons released quarterback Easton Stick, the team’s starter through the preseason as coach Raheem Morris protected starter Michael Penix and veteran backup Kirk Cousins. The release of Stick and Ben DiNucci temporarily leaves the team with only Penix and Cousins at the position. Trevor Siemian, who is 15-18 in seven seasons, was cut by the Tennessee Titans, leaving Brandon Allen to back up No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward. Rookie sixth-round pick Kyle McCord didn’t make Philadelphia’s initial roster. The quarterback out of Syracuse is a candidate for the practice squad if another team doesn’t sign him. The defending Super Bowl champions acquired Sam Howell to back up Jalen Hurts

and Tanner McKee. DeVito, an undrafted free agent and a northern New Jersey native who picked up the nickname “Tommy Cutlets,” was not expected to make the team after the signings of veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and selection of Jaxson Dart in the ﬁrst round.

Other notable cuts Wide receiver Hunter Renfrow, a 2021 Pro Bowl selection who was attempting to make a comeback after sitting out all of last season with a severe case of ulcerative colitis that caused him to lose 35 pounds, was released by the Carolina Panthers. The team also cut former starting nose tackle Shy Tuttle after rebuilding its defensive line earlier this offseason. The Pittsburgh Steelers released wideout Robert Woods, who has 863 receptions. Diontae Johnson

(Browns), KJ Hamler (Bills) and Mecole Hardman (Packers) are among the wide receivers who were let go. Veteran defensive back Jalen Mills was cut by the Houston Texans. Mills has started 91 games at cornerback and safety. Guard Kenyon Green, a firstround pick by Houston in 2022 and acquired in a trade by the Eagles a few months ago, was released. The San Francisco 49ers cut veteran wide receivers Russell Gage and Robbie Chosen after impressive camps but could try to bring at least one of them back to the practice squad or a roster spot before the opener. The team has major questions at receiver with just two healthy wideouts — Ricky Pearsall and recently acquired Skyy Moore — after Demarcus Robinson was suspended for the ﬁrst three games

of the season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, and Brandon Aiyuk will miss at least the ﬁrst four weeks on the physically unable to perform list recovering from knee surgery. Jauan Jennings has missed almost all of camp with a calf injury and is also seeking a new contract. The Falcons placed right tackle Kaleb McGary on injured reserve with a lower left leg injury, leaving a big void at a position that protects Penix’s blindside. The team also placed backup tackle Storm Norton on injured reserve/ designated to return with an ankle injury. Defensive tackle Kentavius Street and safety Jordan Fuller were among Atlanta’s cuts. Linebacker Troy Andersen will miss at least four games after being placed on the physically unable to perform list.

It looks like the temperatures will be rising into the low 90s, maybe a couple of areas a little bit higher than that and, with the easterly winds that we’ve been experiencing, the humidity should be pretty reasonable, probably in the 50-60% range. your rain chances are staying right around 20%, so we may see a pop-up shower or storm, but most of us should remain pretty dry.

SMOKE & HONEY

This Mid-City restaurant is always Greek but has a dual identity. By day, it’s a casual cafe with counter service for bagels, salads, sandwiches (I especially like the breakfast gyro with crisp fries and squeaky halloumi) and a satellite coffee bar from the nearby Coffee Science roasters. In the evening, the same restaurant becomes a Greek taverna with table service and a deeper menu.

The whole branzino will take you to an Aegean ﬁshing cove, with its well-seasoned crispy skin encasing juicy meat. But the dish happily stuck to my ﬂavor memory right now is the 15-hour lamb, pressed into a cake over silky orzo. Get the tomato martini, which tastes like a spiked summer salad, and say “yamas” (cheers) to this neighborhood gem.

For sushi lovers, an omakase with a different way with ﬁsh BY IAN McNULTY

Staff writer

The freshest possible ﬁsh is the best, right? Not necessarily, especially if it’s been treated to dry aging, a process the innovative GW Fins has been introducing to New Orleans in recent years. It’s a technique that can unlock new levels of ﬂavor, though obviously it takes knowhow and diligence to do it right.

New Orleans also now has a sushi restaurant showing the potential speciﬁcally in dry-aged sushi, and serving an omakase that is an exaltation of the process. Kenji Omakase, inside the International House Hotel, is the ﬁrst restaurant from chef Matt Nguyen. He’s a New Orleans native who’s been working in sushi for more than half of his 32 years, from entry level to chef at Yakuza House, chef Huy

Pham’s excellent Metairie restaurant. That’s where he met his investor and business partner, Malachi Dupre (a former LSU and NFL wide receiver, and a sushi fanatic); together they launched Kenji in 2023.

tapioca bulbs under crisp fritter shells. My early line on Dr. Jones was essentially that this is a chef-led diner, a great lunch spot run by a pair of fine dining pros (Link Restaurant Group alums Billy Jones and David Rouse). It’s still a tiny spot, but it has grown into a fuller version of itself with extended evening hours for dinner. It’s all about elevated technique in a casual setting. Those croquettes started a meal that brought an heirloom tomato salad with breadcrumbs that functioned like a gratin without impinging on the summer freshness. The steak au poivre felt like a summerweight edition of the French classic, with the juicy bite of a tropical chile pepper sauce cutting through. The showstopper was gnocchi with just the right soft, wispy texture next to the woodsy chew of maitake mushrooms and a delicate truffle dashi, an umami-booster closer to broth than sauce. Four people could share the entire small, alwayschanging menu on any given night, with high confidence that every dish will be a winner. It’s still a good lunch option, too.

I don’t expect a 7-yearold to have the sense of danger that an adult would have, but his father knew better. So, thank you for reminding people to teach their children to swim. It helped save my son’s life until he could be rescued. — Ava E., in Hollywood, Florida Send a hint to heloise@ heloise.com.

and nigiri sushi specials are a great bargain with this special. But the whole menu is rewarding to explore anytime, mixing Peruvian and Japanese dishes in the Nikkei style (the term refers to expat Japanese culture, and the fusion it inspires). The killer dish from this time was a tiradito, in the Peruvian style, with a bright, light, enlivening aji amarillo sauce acting as marinade for raw slices of Creole fish (a firm and buttery fish I’d never seen on a menu before). I even got an eyeful of the source fish, too, as the chef was showing off his catch. The restaurant is as casual as a pop-up. You order at the bar and find a seat inside or outdoors. The food is gloriously fresh, creatively wrought and different from anything else in town.

The tavern kitchen inside the event space The Broadside is in some ways the reincarnation of the downtown restaurant Carmo, where Dana and Christine Honn and longtime collaborator Wataru Saeki once ran a quietly superb raw bar, bringing a much deeper variety of the Gulf catch to table. Now, their diligence in local sourcing and excellence around raw ﬁsh preparations have a new platform. I was visiting on a Tuesday, which is “$6 night,” with changing specials on sushi, drinks and also movies next door at the related Broad Theater.

But not quite. The 14 courses account for all the savory dishes; dessert isn’t mentioned on the menu but lands as a big, fat strawberry cream-filled beignet, a pillowy sweet landing pad as a finale.

Final assessment A meal of 14-plus courses sounds like it needs an intermission, not an afterparty. But in this case, with courses being no more than a bite or two, and it all ﬂows appropriately swiftly. As is common now on tasting menus and in high-end dining, there are “opportunities” to bump things up further, with uni handrolls, say, or something else on special. Even at the baseline, this is a special occasion outing, a birthday dinner perhaps for someone enamored with nigiri. You won’t leave hungry, but perhaps there’s still room for a cocktail. If so, take yourself across the hotel lobby to the lovely Loa bar to digest this sushi degustation by candlelight with a drink. Email Ian McNulty at imcnulty@theadvocate. com.

Today is Wednesday, Aug. 27, the 239th day of 2025. There are 126 days left in the year. Today in history: On Aug. 27, 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa erupted with a series of cataclysmic explosions. The explosions (which could be heard 3,000 miles away) and resulting tsunamis in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait claimed some 36,000 lives in Java and Sumatra. Also on this date: In 1894, Congress passed the Wilson-Gorman Tariff Act, which contained a provision for a graduated income tax that was later struck down by the Supreme Court. In 1964, the ﬁlm “Mary Poppins” had its world premiere in Los Angeles, California. In 1982, Rickey Henderson of the Oakland A’s stole his 119th base of the season, breaking Lou Brock’s

single-season stolen base record. (Henderson would finish the season with a still-unmatched 130 stolen bases.) In 1990, blues musician Stevie Ray Vaughan and four others were killed in a helicopter crash near East Troy, Wisconsin. In 2001, Israeli helicopters fired a pair of rockets through office windows, killing senior PLO leader Mustafa Zibri. In 2005, coastal residents jammed freeways and gas stations as they rushed to avoid Hurricane Katrina, which was headed toward New Orleans. In 2008, Barack Obama was nominated for president by the Democratic National Convention in Denver, becoming the first Black presidential nominee from a major political party. In 2011, Hurricane Irene made landfall in the United States; the storm would be responsible for 49 total

deaths and more than $14 billion in damage. Today’s birthdays: Author William Least Heat-Moon is 86. Actor Tuesday Weld is 82. Former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., is 82. Actor G.W. Bailey is 81.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement. Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care. Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.

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

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1

Previous dental work can wear out.

That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.

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

Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.

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

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

Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $222 for a checkup ... $190 for a filling ... $1,213 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

n Romancing the Stones “Our Precious Gems” titled the 14th annual Jewish Roots Gala of Jewish Children’s Regional Service, which was founded in 1855. Mixing sparkle and assistance, the bash unfolded in formal style in the Hilton New Orleans Riverside and honored Amy Gainsburgh Haspel and Jacquelyn Stern, co-chairs of the JCRS College Scholarship Committee. Both are passionate about quality education and have been teachers before taking time off to raise children and then work as volunteers. Amy, a grandmother, has been involved with JCRS for most of her adult life. As a young person, Jackie received JCRS scholarships, ﬁrst for summer camp and later for college. Their husbands are John Haspel and Charles Stern. Another important distaff duo was Loel Weil Samuel and Sue Singer, the gala co-chairs, who headed a 42-person committee. As for male twosomes, headliners were JCRS president Michael Goldman and Mark Rubin, ex-

Mark Rubin, Wendy Goldberg, Michael Goldman ecutive director. They reminded guests, in keeping with the theme, that “every contribution, every kind word, and every shared dream is a facet in the larger jewel of our (JCRS) mission.” The top sponsors, the Diamond category, named Fran & Julian Koch| Betty & Ira

The next lot, Ruby, included Angela and Mark Beerman, Carla and Louis Fishman, Diane and Alan Franco, Susan and Howard Green, Amy Gainsburgh Haspel and John Haspel, Ellen and Stan Kessler, Millie and Robert Kohn, Louis A. and Lillian L. Glazer Family Foundation, Melinda and Morris Mintz, Heather and Leon Rittenberg III, Robert and Shirley Haspel Endowment Foundation, and Gina and Alan Tolmas. Hundreds more donated. A cocktail reception — with trips as auction enticements — opened the socializing during which time everyone oohed and aaahed the gorgeous gems displayed by M.S. Rau, Fine Art, Antiques, Jewels. Among the highlighted chromatics were Emerald City, Sapphire Splendor, Dazzling Diamonds, and Opulent Opals. As M.S. Rau CEO and owner Bill ”Billy” Rau wrote in the printed program, “In jewelry lore, two of the earliest known diamond traders were Jewish men who dealt with Egypt’s Royal court.” He continued with

Leslie and Billy Rau the fame of Jewish craftsmen and entrepreneurs in the art of jewelry over centuries, and prominent names of today, such as the late Harry Winston, Laurence Graff, and David Yurman. Once seated, “Gems” guests admired the thematic centerpieces of white roses with huge acrylic gemstones as they enjoyed a tasty dinner and the thrill of a fashion show by Dillard’s featuring jewelry by M.S. Rau. Favors were wee red totes with echantillons of Cartier perfumes. The awards presentation to Amy and Jacquelyn followed, as did much applause. New this year was the presentation of the Ned Goldberg Humanitarian & Service Award, which found a worthy recipient in Michael Goldman. It is named for the late Ned Goldberg, “the longtime face of JCRS, whose wife, Wendy, was in attendance. When all was said and savored, one donor described the evening as “Brilliant,” making the word indicative of a plethora of lovely pictures.

The Ogden Museum of Southern Art’s Magnolia Ball, Celebrating the Art of the American South, celebrated and featured the exhibition “Hoa Tay (Flower Hands): Southern Artists of the Vietnamese Diaspora.” It is on view through Sept. 21. Additional features were live music, a silent auction, cocktails and cuisine, and entertainment, making this a chockablock fundraiser. Artemis Antippas, Uyen Dinh, James and Laurie Kalyvas, and Alex M. Sorapuru teamed to cochair the “creative cocktail attire” caper. The top category, Sponsors, listed generous businesses and foundations, while individuals in the second-tier Benefactors were Hattie Collins and Rebecca Maisel, Joey Walker and John Malta, and Charles Urstadt and David Bernard. Charles is PHOTOS By JEFF STROUT a co-producer of the one-woman Sharonda Williams, Justin Woods, Keith St. Pierre, Penny Francis Broadway show, “Call Me Izzy,” starring Jean Smart and written by Jamie Wax, who’s been active in the New Orleans theater community. Beckoning on the museum’s first floor were a tattoo station (temporary ones), a photo booth, a pixie dust biodegradable glitter bar, Nail Gallery NOLA Station, the Krewe of PhantAsia Flower Making, and the Bau Cua Ca Cop game. A VIP Lounge on the third floor welcomed that lot. As for the music, the names to note were DJ Heelturn, DJ Juane Jordan, and Mia Borders. “Come on,” said an eager partygoer to her posse when the Kara-O-ke Lounge opened in the Patrick F. Taylor Library. A specialty cocktail and late-night snacking fueled the fun. The Ogden Museum has Jessie Haynes as the board chairperson and, as vice chairman Geoffrey P. Snodgrass, treasurer Jason Waguespack, and secretary Justin Woods. Scores more figured prominently as trustees, along with the 50 committee folks. Most made the scene that celebrated Vietnamese culture and the art of its “Hoa Tay” hands and heart.

n Sugar Journaling International was the billing for the recent 2025 Sugar Notables Dinner given by Sugar Journal and located in the Japanese Room of Antoine’s Restaurant. It was the event’s fourth year and almost 140 supporters attended. Event headliners were Charley Richard, who works in both the beet and cane side of the American sugar industry, and spouse Romney Richard, Sugar Journal editor and publisher. For the initial socializing with Bijou Wines as the libations donor, Champagne and soufflé potatoes found ready takers in an environment described as elegant with “shining chandeliers (and) white table cloths.” The music was by the Raymond Williams Trio. After the bubbly hour was over and a dinner of the restaurant’s trademark dishes PHOTOS By MARy STROUT was served, presentations were made to the honorees, who in turn, issued hearty gratiKeith Picou, Romney Richard, Raffaella Rossetto, Charley Richard tude.

Bridge By PHILLIP ALDER Philip Seymour Hoffman, an Oscarwinning actor, said, “It’s hard for anybody who works a lot and has children. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” Hopefully all parents agree with that. This week we are noting that defenders shouldn’t trade the acronym “trade” for anything. We have reached A for audition the auction. It is important for the defenders to use the information gleaned from the bidding to help the defense. In this example, East has to make the key play. Against four hearts, West leads the club ace: five, eight, four. West continues with the club king: nine, three, jack. West plays a third club, East ruffing and South following suit. What should East do now? South’s sequence, opening in spades, then bidding hearts twice, showed at least 5-5 in the majors. North went with the 5-3 heart fit, hoping that some spade ruffs in his hand would help. (Note that three no-trump should be defeated.) East gave a high-low to show his doubleton club. And since West was watching, he was not distracted by South’s jack falsecard at trick two. East now knows that South started with three clubs. So, as declarer must have

5-5-0-3 distribution, trying to cash the diamond ace cannot be right. Instead, East should exit with a trump, aiming to reduce the spade ruffs in the dummy from three to two. This defeats the contract. If East doesn’t return a trump, declarer can cash his top spades and crossruff home. © 2025 by nEa, inc., dist. By andrews mcmeel syndication

This was something the city has tried to achieve since 2013, and this was the first year the city was awarded the best show across the state.

Mayor Constant read and presented Certificates of Recognition. “The Mayor of Gretna, on behalf of the Elected Officials, does hereby congratulate you on completing your service hours work for the 2025 City of Gretna Summer Internship.

Ms. Mary Robinson was here at the request of the City of Gretna. Ms. Mary Robinson, Government Affairs Manager for Cox Communications provided a quick update on a recent outage that occurred in the Gretna area. Mayor Constant contacted Ms. Mary Robinson regarding an outage reported in the Timberlane neighborhood. During that conversation, Mayor Constant asked for assistance in resolving the matter requesting that she attended this meeting to provide an update and any background that could be shared on the cause of the network issues. Ms. Robinson immediately engaged her Field and Construction Supervisors to work toward a resolution and to conduct a thorough review of the outage. The review revealed two separate events that contributed to the reported customers issues. On July 30, Cox’s team proactively completed the upgrades to the node serving the Timberlane area. These upgrades were to increase speed; reducing congestion and improve the liability in network service. While performing this work, service interruptions are possible and customers in the affected area may receive outage notification, which does not necessarily indicate that service was actually for their homes. The following day (July 31) a power outage occurred beginning at 6:00 AM in the area; Cox’s backup power worked until noon, at which time technicians were dispatched while Entergy crews worked on their infrastructure repairs. Service to the node was restored by 3:00 PM, but it was important to note that as power was restored to individual homes, it did not mean that power has been restored to Cox’s node yet. Customers may have had outages while Cox waited to restore power to their node. Cox team noted their nodes were without primary power for 609 minutes, the customers were not necessarily without Cox services during that time frame. Cox has since monitored the nodes closely to ensure they were operating normally without disruptions. Believing that broader network concerns in the area have been addressed, it was possible that individual customers may still have issues. If this was the case, the customers are encouraged to contact Cox with their specific addresses and information on issues they were experiencing so that Cox can quickly pinpoint and resolve any remaining problems. Two city employees were able to voiced their service issues to Ms. Robinson. –Ms. Robinson requested from each one to provide their addresses so that Cox can pinpoint what potential issues might be occurring. ***** C. Entergy-Louisiana – Mr. D. J. Taylor, Entergy Customer Service Manager was present along with Ms. Ana Gale Orellana, Regional Manager Light poles repair. -Ms. Ana Gale Orellana provided an update on Entergy’s Resiliency Plan. Entergy has been working replacing poles, infrastructures were upgraded. In the City of Gretna, they have hardened about 100 poles and more to come. Entergy tries its best to have the less amount of impact on their customers; but there were instances they are unable to do that work hot, so therefore they have to resort to a planned outage. Entergy customers must have up to date contact information because it is essential. Planned outages were planned via texts, e-mails or via phone call depending on customers’ preferences. The goal of the Resiliency Plan was, if only the wires fall and poles stay upright, it is a much quicker, and less expensive restoration. Streetlights. If you have an area with problem streetlights, please send the address and location to Mr. D. J. Taylor and she, they work very closely with lighting crew. When you have an area and you are concerned of a streetlight, not operating please send the information to D. J. Taylor and myself; we work closely with the lighting crew and the crew have been

active in all parts of the Westbank. Mayor Constant said the city had lots of issues with streetlights outages about two- and one-half years ago, Mr. D. J. has had conversations with Council Members about response. Ms. Rachael Stanley started a study from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025; the responses have been good; and have had a 90 percent plus repair, within a 30-day period. Now, it is an opportunity for Gretna to say thank you; which means Entergy was paying attention to what the city was doing too. Thank you again for what you are doing to address the city in a timely manner, and it is truly appreciated. Mayor Constant invited Mr. D. J. Taylor and Ana Gale Orellana to attend the Council District meetings this coming August 18, at the Gretna Cultural Center (719 Fourth Street) and on August 19, at Mel Ott Park (2301 Belle Chasse Highway).

To: All interested Agen‐ cies, Groups and Individ‐ uals

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplain and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Com‐ menters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate project impacts on the floodplain. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an im‐ portant public educa‐ tional tool. The dissemi‐ nation of information and request for public comment about flood‐ plain can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modi‐ fication of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government de‐ termines it will partici‐ pate in actions taking place in floodplain, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

This is to give notice that Jefferson Parish under 24 CFR Part 58 has deter‐ mined that the following proposed action under the Resilient Communi‐ ties Infrastructure Pro‐ gram (RCIP) Project 26L‐ DRC7720 is located in the Federal Flood Risk Man‐ agement Standard (FFRMS) floodplain, and Jefferson Parish will be identifying and evaluat‐ ing practicable alterna‐ tives to locating the ac‐ tion within the floodplain and the potential im‐ pacts on the floodplain from the proposed ac‐ tion, as required by Exec‐ utive Order 11988, as amended by Executive Order 13690, in accor‐ dance with HUD regula‐ tions at 24 CFR 55.20 in Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Manage‐ ment and Protection of Wetlands. The proposed project location is 800 Gretna Blvd in Gretna, Jefferson Parish. The ex‐ tent of the FFRMS flood‐ plain was determined using 0.2 percent flood approach. The project proposes installation of green infrastructure, in‐ cluding native plants and permeable surfaces around the BMX park. The project also includes the installation of an open-sided covered roof and improved drainage for the BMX park. The project is approximately 2.33 acres located in Zone AE, a Special Flood Hazard Area.

Home Standby Generators fall into two major categories. Air Cooled Generators & Liquid Cooled Generators. Air Cooled Generators are the most common and represent 90% of the generators installed on homes in our area. These units have an air cooled motor like most motorcycles & lawn mowers. They are build to deliver short and medium power to homes with outages lasting up to a few weeks. These units are cooled and lubricated by oil so they will consume more oil when under heavy use. Air Cooled units run at 3600 rpm. Liquid Cooled Generators are a step up in price from normal generators, but they come with heavier motors & parts. These units have engines similar to small truck engines with a radiator like a normal car. These units typically will burn less oil and will provide longer run intervals. These Liquid Cooled units come in two run speeds 1800 rpm and 3600 rpm; Overall the 1800 rpm models are known to be the most reliable generators made. Optimize stocks 1800 rpm RG Models
