Justicesquestionhow much race should be afactor
BY MARKBALLARD Staff writer
WASHINGTON —When theU.S. Supreme Court drilled down Wednesday on the issues surrounding Louisiana’svoting rights case, the six conservative justices asked questions and made comments that indicated they thought Louisiana relied too much on race indrawing a second majority-Black congressional district
Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh asked in severalways whether race-based maps are permissible for an indeterminate period or should havean endpoint when statesnolonger havetoconsider race when drawing congressional district maps.
Justice Amy Coney Barrettasked how much weight the SupremeCourt should put on the lower courtfindings that spurred the Louisiana Legislature’sdecision to redraw its congressional mapsto include asecond majority-Black district.
“What if the district court was just wrong?” she said.
U.S. Rep. Cleo Fields, the BatonRouge Democrat elected last yearinthe majority-minority districtatthe centerof Louisiana v. Callais and Robinson v. Callais, said after the 21/2-hour hearing that the justices asked pointedquestions on all aspects of this complicated case.

Gov.Jeff Landry declared a moratoriumWednesdayonnew applicationsfor carboncapture injection wells in Louisiana after years of growing complaints from people who live near where the projects are planned.
Landry’sorder calls for companiestomake more effort to seek out public and local government input on pendingprojects, as the Republican governor seeks to balance pressuresfromconstituents in rural Louisiana and energy companies.
In the 12-page executive order Landry says the changes are hap-
pening “to provide aclear road map forcitizens andlocal officials,” to create transparency for thepublic and torecognizethe reality of theintensive time required to review each project —anestimated 2,000 hours.
“Local government and citizens, through their local government, have arighttobeheard to ensure

Syria’s interim leader meets with Putin
MOSCOW Syria’s interim leader, who led a swift rebel offensive last year that ousted former Syrian President Bashar Assad despite years of Moscow’s support, held talks Wednesday in Russia during his first visit to the country that gave asylum to the deposed autocrat.
Welcoming interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa at the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the historic links between Moscow and Damascus, and he voiced hope for their expansion. The meeting underlines Russia’s desire to establish working ties with Syria’s new leadership and secure a military foothold in the country Assad was an ally of Russia, and Moscow’s scorched-earth intervention in support of him a decade ago turned the tide of Syria’s civil war, keeping Assad in his seat until his swift removal in December
Pakistan, Afghanistan announce ceasefire
ISLAMABAD Pakistan and Afghanistan on Wednesday announced a ceasefire following days of the deadliest clashes in years that killed dozens of people on both sides of the border
The pause came after appeals from major regional powers, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as the violence threatened to further destabilize a region where groups, including the Islamic State group and al-Qaida, are trying to resurface.
Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of harboring armed groups, a charge rejected by the country’s Taliban rulers. Pakistan is grappling with militant attacks that have increased since 2021, when the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan.
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry described the ceasefire as a 48-hour one and said the ceasefire was at Afghanistan’s request. Key border crossings remained closed. N.Y. officials confirm chikungunya virus case
MINEOLA, N.Y A person living in New York has tested positive for the chikungunya virus in what state health officials say is the first reported transmission of the mosquito-borne illness within the United States in six years
The state Department of Health said Tuesday that the virus, which has been spreading in China and elsewhere, was identified in a person living in Nassau County on Long Island.
The county’s health department, in a separate statement, said the person began experiencing symptoms in August after having traveled outside of the region, but not out of the country. Faulty engineering led to implosion of Titan
PORTLAND, Maine — Faulty engineering led to the implosion of an experimental submersible that killed five people on the way to the wreck of the Titanic, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded in a report Wednesday
The NTSB made the statement in its final report on the hull failure and implosion of the Titan submersible in June 2023. Everyone on board the submersible died instantly in the North Atlantic when Titan suffered a catastrophic implosion as it descended to the wreck.
The NTSB report states that the faulty engineering of the Titan “resulted in the construction of a carbon fiber composite pressure vessel that contained multiple anomalies and failed to meet necessary strength and durability requirements.” It also stated that OceanGate, the owner of the Titan, failed to adequately test the Titan and was unaware of its true durability

Judge blocks firing of federal workers
BY JANIE HAR Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO
—
A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from firing workers during the government shutdown, saying the cuts appeared to be politically motivated and were being carried out without much thought.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco repeatedly pressed the assistant U.S. attorney to explain the administration’s rationale for the more than 4,100 layoff notices that started going out Friday even though furloughed workers can not access their work emails and there are no human resources specialists to assist with next steps.
says another body was not a captive
Israel receives remains of two more hostages Military
BY SAM METZ, SAMY MAGDY and WAFAA SHURAFA Associated Press
JERUSALEM Israel received the remains of two more hostages Wednesday, hours after the Israeli military said that one of the bodies previously turned over was not that of a hostage. The confusion added to tensions over the fragile truce that has paused the two-year war
The remains were transferred by the Red Cross from Hamas. After the two coffins arrived in Israel, the military in a statement cautioned that the hostages’ identities had yet to be verified.
Meanwhile, the Gaza Health Ministry said it received 45 more bodies of Palestinians from Israel, another step in implementation of the ceasefire agreement. That brought to 90 the total number of bodies returned to Gaza for burial.
The forensics team examining the remains said they showed signs of mistreatment.
As part of the deal, four bodies of hostages were handed over by Hamas on Tuesday, following four on Monday that were returned
hours after the last 20 living hostages were released from Gaza.
In all, Israel has been awaiting the return of the bodies of 28 hostages.
The Israeli military said forensic testing showed that “the fourth body handed over to Israel by Hamas does not match any of the hostages.” There was no immediate word on whose body it was.
In exchange for the release of the hostages, Israel freed around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees Monday Israel is expected to turn over more bodies, though officials have not said how many are in its custody or how many will be returned. It is unclear whether the remains belong to Palestinians who died in Israeli custody or were taken from Gaza by Israeli troops. Throughout the war, Israel’s military has exhumed bodies as part of its search for the remains of hostages.
As forensic teams examined the first remains returned, the Health Ministry on Wednesday released images of 32 unidentified bodies to help families recognize missing relatives.
Many appeared decomposed or
burned. Some were missing limbs or teeth, while others were coated in sand and dust. Health officials have said Israeli restrictions on allowing DNA testing equipment into Gaza have often forced morgues to rely on physical features and clothing for identification.
The forensics team that received the bodies said some arrived still shackled or bearing signs of physical abuse.
Sameh Hamad, a member of a commission tasked with receiving the bodies at Khan Younis’ Nasser Hospital, said some arrived with their hands and legs cuffed.
“There are signs of torture and executions,” he told The Associated Press.
The bodies, he said, belonged to men ages 25 to 70 Most had bands on their necks, including one that had a rope around the neck.
Most of the bodies wore civilian clothing, but some were in uniforms, suggesting they were militants.
Hamad said the Red Cross provided names for only three of the dead, leaving many families uncertain of their relatives’ fate.
Leader of Madagascar’s coup says he is president
BY BRIAN INGANGA, NQOBILE NTSHANGASE and GERALD IMRAY Associated Press
ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar
The leader of Madagascar’s military coup told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he is “taking the position of president” and that the armed forces would be in charge of the African island nation for up to two years before any elections are held.
Col. Michael Randrianirina, who led the rebellion that ousted President Andry Rajoelina on Tuesday following weeks of youth-led protests, said in his first interview with a global news outlet since taking power that he expects to be sworn in as the country’s new leader in the next few days.
“There must be an oath-taking” to make his position official, Randrianirina said at his unit’s barracks while flanked by fellow officers “We are staying here for at least 18 months, at most two years.”
Randrianirina announced Tuesday that the armed forces were taking power in Madagascar, a sprawling country of about 30 million people off of Africa’s east coast that is the world’s leading vanilla producer and is known for its unique biodiversity Since gaining independence from France in 1960, it also has a history of coups and political crises.
The latest military takeover capped weeks of protests against Rajoelina and his government led by youth groups calling themselves “Gen Z Madagascar.” The protesters, who also included labor unions and civic groups, have demanded better government and job opportunities, echoing youth-led protests elsewhere in the world. Among other things, the Madagascar protesters have railed against chronic water and electricity outages, limited ac-
cess to higher education, government corruption and poverty which affects roughly three out of every four Madagascans, according to the World Bank.
Although some suggest the military seized power on the backs of the civilian protesters, demonstrators cheered Randrianirina and other soldiers from his elite CAPSAT unit as they triumphantly rode through the streets of the capital, Antananarivo, on Tuesday, with one protest leader telling the AP “the military is listening to us.”
The takeover was “an awakening of the people. It was launched by the youth. And the military supported us,” said the protest leader, Safika, who only gave one name as has been typical with the demonstrators. “We must always be wary, but the current state of affairs gives us reason to be confident.”
The protests reached a turning point Saturday when Randrianirina and soldiers from his unit sided with the demonstrators calling for the president to resign.
“It’s very much ready, fire, aim on most of these programs, and it has a human cost,” she said. “It’s a human cost that cannot be tolerated.”
She granted a temporary restraining order blocking the job cuts, saying she believed the evidence would ultimately show the cuts were illegal and in excess of authority
Asked for comment, the White House referred The Associated Press to the Office of Management and Budget. The budget office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The American Federation of Government Employees and other federal labor unions had asked Illston to block the administration from issuing new layoff notices and implementing those that were already sent out. The unions said the firings were an abuse of power designed to punish workers and pressure Congress.
“The president seems to think his government shutdown is distracting people from the harmful and lawlessness actions of his administration, but the American people are holding him accountable, including in the courts,” said Skye Perryman, president and CEO of legal organization Democracy Forward.

Democrats dig in on budget standoff
Shutdown enters third week
BY MARY CLARE JALONICK and STEPHEN GROVES Associated Press
WASHINGTON Entering the third week of a government shutdown, Democrats say they are not intimidated or cowed by President Donald Trump’s efforts to fire thousands of federal workers or by his threats of more firings to come.
Instead, Democrats appear emboldened, showing no signs of caving as they returned to Washington from their home states this week and twice more rejected a Republican bill to open the government. The vote Wednesday was the ninth time the GOP plan has failed.
“What people are saying is, you’ve got to stop the carnage,” said Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, describing what he heard from his constituents, including federal workers, as he traveled around

his state over the weekend. “And you don’t stop it by giving in.”
Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz said the firings are “a fair amount of bluster” and predicted said they ultimately will be overturned in court or otherwise reversed That was already happening Wednesday, when a federal judge in California temporarily ordered the administration to stop the firings.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer of New York, said Wednesday that
the layoffs are a “mistaken attempt” to sway Democratic votes.
His House counterpart, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, said the administration’s “intimidation tactics are not working and will continue to fail.”
Democratic senators say they are hearing instead from voters about health insurance subsidies that expire at the end of the year, the issue that the party has made central to the shutdown fight.
Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon
Mass exodus follows new reporting rules
BY DAVID BAUDER AP media writer
NEW YORK Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to governmentimposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power The nation’s leadership called the new rules “common sense” to help regulate a “very disruptive” press. News outlets were nearly unanimous in rejecting new rules imposed by Defense
Secretary Pete Hegseth that would leave journalists vulnerable to expulsion if they sought to report on information — classified or otherwise — that had not been approved by Hegseth for release.
Many of the reporters waited to leave together at a 4 p.m. deadline set by the Defense Department to get out of the building. As the hour approached, boxes of documents lined a Pentagon corridor and reporters carried chairs, a copying machine, books and old photos to the parking lot from suddenly abandoned workspaces Shortly after 4, about 40 to 50 journalists left together after handing in badges
“It’s sad, but I’m also really proud of the press corps that we stuck together,” said
Nancy Youssef, a reporter for The Atlantic who has had a desk at the Pentagon since 2007. She took a map of the Middle East out to her car
It is unclear what practical impact the new rules will have, though news organizations vowed they’d continue robust coverage of the military no matter the vantage point.
Images of reporters effectively demonstrating against barriers to their work are unlikely to move supporters of President Donald Trump, many of whom resent journalists and cheer his efforts to make their jobs harder Trump has been involved in court fights against The New York Times, CBS News, ABC News, the Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press in the past year
Alaska storms drive 1,500 from homes; villages destroyed
BY BECKY BOHRER, CEDAR ATTANASIO and GENE JOHNSON Associated Press
JUNEAU, Alaska One of the biggest emergency responses in Alaska in decades was underway Wednesday after the remnants of Typhoon Halong slammed into coastal villages, bringing a record storm surge over the weekend that swept away homes some with people still inside — and leaving 1,500 residents in makeshift shelters. Authorities worked to evacuate people to larger communities, including possibly hundreds of miles away in Anchorage, and provide food, clean water power and fuel as rain and snow threatened in the coming days. One person died and two remain missing following the storm.
The crisis unfolding in southwest Alaska, where communities are accessible by boat or air, has drawn attention to Trump administration cuts to federal grants aimed at helping some small, mostly Indigenous villages prepare for the ravages of storms or mitigate their disaster risks.
A $20 million U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant to Kipnuk, a village inundated by floodwaters, for example, was terminated by the Trump administration, a move challenged by environmental groups.
The weekend storm brought hurricane-force winds to some areas and water levels more than six feet above the highest normal tide line in two communities near the Bering Sea coastline, Kipnuk and Kwigillingok, breaking records there, according to the National Weather Service. It forced the evacuation of roughly 40% of those living in about 10 impacted communities and devastated Kipnuk, population 715, and Kwigillingok, which has about 380 residents.
Brea Paul, of Kipnuk. saw about 20 homes float past her in the moonlight, the people inside them blinking their phone lights into the darkness. Authorities have described people trying to find debris to cling onto as they bobbed in the water in
the darkness and rescuing people from rooftops. Kipnuk and Kwigillingok have a history of flooding Kipnuk and Kwigillingok sit on a low-lying coastal landscape dotted with rivers and lakes called the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, about the size of Oregon. Both have faced floods and threats from the changing climate. The communities, which are about 500 miles from Anchorage, are accessible only by air or boat at this time of year. Winds and damage to a runway in Kipnuk has made even access by plane and helicopter challenging. There are other challenges, too: Kipnuk, as part of its day-to-day life, is among a number of communities in rural Alaska that lack widespread running water

Chicago-area judge bars ICE from arresting people at court
BY CHRISTINE FERNANDO Associated Press
CHICAGO — Cook County’s top judge signed an order barring ICE from arresting people at court. Cook County includes Chicago, which has seen a federal immigration crackdown in recent months.
Detaining residents outside courthouses has been a common tactic for federal agents, who have been stationed outside county courthouses for weeks, making arrests and
drawing protesters. The order, which was signed Tuesday night and took effect Wednesday, bars the civil arrest of any “party witness, or potential witness” while going to court proceedings. It includes arrests inside courthouses and in parking lots, surrounding sidewalks and entryways.
“The fair administration of justice requires that courts remain open and accessible, and that litigants and witnesses may appear without fear of
civil arrest,” the order states. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security defended the practice of making arrests at courthouses, calling it “common sense.”
“We aren’t some medieval kingdom; there are no legal sanctuaries where you can hide and avoid the consequences for breaking the law,” DHS said in a statement. “Nothing in the constitution prohibits arresting a lawbreaker where you find them.”

registering to vote. The law was changed in 1980s to allow minority residents to file lawsuits claiming their voting power had been diluted. Instead of requiring those lawsuits to prove that state legislators intentionally discriminated against those voters — a difficult legal bar to clear — the act and later court rulings established a set of legal tests. If a majority of justices change those standards or finds Section 2 unconstitutional in Louisiana, other states could redraw congressional maps and heighten the prospect of fewer minority-majority districts.
Arguing for the Callais group of a dozen White litigants, Edward Greim asked the justices to set aside Section 2 because it racially stereotypes by sorting voters into one district or another “If it was ever acceptable for our colorblind constitution to do this it was never intended to continue indefinitely,” he said.
Janai Nelson — representing the Robinson litigants, a group of Black voters and arguing for the second Black opportunity district — said the proposals by the state and the Callais litigants would “resurrect the intent standard that this court was very clear about and Congress was extraordinarily clear about, knowing that results is key to ensuring that we do not continue to have rampant discrimination in voting.”
If the high court changes or eliminates Section 2, “the results would be pretty catastrophic,” she said Kavanaugh gave Louisiana a chance to respond to her comments
Louisiana Solicitor General J. Benjamin Aguiñaga said the Robinson litigants focused on the state’s discriminatory actions in the 1930s, ’40s, ’50s and ’60s that no longer apply Louisiana contends that the Voting Rights Act essen-

way,” he added.
Carbon capture and sequestration involves pumping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases produced from industrial processes deep underground, compressed to a near-liquid state. The chemicals would be stored there permanently Industry, LSU scientists and other sources argue Louisiana’s sedimentary geology is prime to safely use the technology
The technology however has recently sparked opposition in conservative-leaning rural Louisiana, which typically is supportive of oil and gas and new industries. It has also drawn criticism from the state’s more left-leaning environmental justice movement.
They worry about storing waste carbon dioxide under tens of thousands of acres of farm and pasture land, country estates and timber properties.
Concerns revolve around a mix of issues: land rights; the impact on underground aquifers if CO2 leaks; skepticism of climate change; skepticism of its effectiveness in fully capturing CO2; and opposition to the use of federal money and tax credits to finance the effort.
Louisiana regulators gained primacy for carbon capture in early 2024, allowing the state to take over final approval of carbon cap-
tially requires states to consider race when redistricting, which is unconstitutional.
Aguiñaga said if the Legislature wants to draft a map that elects six White Republicans, several hundred thousand Democrats now a majority in two “blue” districts would be assigned and their numbers would turn those “red” districts “purple” and could endanger GOP candidates.
“That’s one political reality that tells me that sky isn’t going to be falling,” he said
U.S. Deputy Solicitor General Hashim M Mooppan, arguing for the Trump administration, said eliminating the tests of Section 2 would have little impact on minority representation in Congress. He said that, of the 60 or so Black members

Though Landry’s order calls on state departments to work together, the order has the potential to slow a push to find carbon storage sites across Louisiana and make the state’s fossil fuel-heavy industries more competitive in foreign markets worried about climate change.
Released before noon Wednesday, the order sparked immediate responses from the state’s influential trade groups, including the Louisiana Chemical Association, the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, and the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association
While pledging to work with Landry, industry groups’ concerns about his order revolved around a similar theme that the new rules create uncertainty that could cede Louisiana’s lead position in a new industry that could mean billions in economic development
“The momentum Louisiana has built is no accident. It is the direct result of securing state primacy and leveraging our unique geology, world-class energy infrastructure and highly skilled workforce,” said Will Green, president and CEO of LABI
David Cresson, president and CEO of LCA, noted his association’s members have already invested $60 billion in Louisiana projects that depend on carbon
of Congress, only about 15 come from majority-minority districts. Elections in Louisiana have a history of polarized voting, Nelson argued.
When they are in the majority, White voters have never elected a Black candidate — even during years when White Democratic candidates won statewide elections. Black people live close enough together share similar interests, and a district can be drawn using traditional redistricting methods, such as being geographically compact, she argued.
The court’s three liberal justices questioned the parties on the success Section 2 has had over several decades. Justice Elena Kagan said Section 2 only shows when redistricting decisions violate voting
capture and storage, but the “conditional moratorium” sends “the wrong message to the market at a pivotal moment for Louisiana’s economy.”
“A pause on applications, regardless of the reasoning, signals uncertainty for projects that enable lower-emissions production, support thousands of high-wage jobs, and encourage future reinvestment,” Cresson said.
On the other hand, Landry’s administration has seen opposition bubbling up in spread-out corners of the state, triggering a push in the most recent legislative session to block or restrict carbon capture. Though most of those bills failed, one requiring the state to give “substantial consideration” to local officials’ concerns has triggered new directives within the state Department of Conservation and Energy for greater public input.
Dustin Davidson, the department’s leader, said the Landry administration is trying to balance economic development and the community concerns, saying that failed pushes to ban carbon capture in parishes is “a message that you can’t overlook.”
“If you have folks that are saying that they’re not liking something because they don’t know what it is or there’s no communication, whether we do this or not, you’re still going to have that hurdle to get over,” Davidson said. “And so, it benefits everybody to take a step back, understand exactly what they need to do, for companies
rights based on current conditions.
“There’s a ‘there’ there that African Americans can’t choose a candidate of their choice,” Kagan said.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said Section 2 is “like a tape measure” to see if certain circumstances exist requiring a remedy, but it doesn’t require a racial solution.
In Louisiana, she noted that Black populations often live in the same areas as the enslaved did along waterways such as the Red River, along which Fields’ 6th Congressional District lies. As Louisiana legislators haven’t changed the maps in a while, all Section 2 did was show that, if the districts were reconfigured, then Black voter preferences would not be diluted, Jackson said.
It’s up to the states to decide how
educating the public that they’re going to be operating within.”
Beginning under former Secretary Tyler Gray, the department has already prioritized six of more than 30 projects for review while the department works to develop a priority list for the remaining projects. Davidson said the lead six projects gained that position because of their economic impact and lack of identifiable “leak paths” for stored carbon dioxide, like old wells, that would have to be mitigated for approval.
“That is what allows us to determine that those are good projects to move forward with and prioritize,” Davidson said. “We will continue to do that process moving forward in terms of identifying, again, the safest in terms of the amount of leak paths and the best economic value to the state and to the local communities.”
Davidson added that the prioritization process is also a way of managing the workload. Department officials say the state has received far more projects than the 12 originally expected and faces totals that are about half as big EPA is handling for 46 other states.
Landry’s order also says other recent legislative changes on land acquisition for CO2 pipelines and for creating carbon storage areas would constitute a new “landowner bill of rights” that should guide government decision-making on new carbon capture projects. Those new laws make it harder
to fix the problem, she said. Gov Jeff Landry, U.S. Sen. John N. Kennedy, R-Madisonville, and State Rep. Edmond Jordan, D-Baton Rouge and chair of the Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus, were among the Louisiana politicians attending the hearing.
State Rep. Beau Beaullieu IV, RNew Iberia and chair of the House & Governmental Affairs Committee that would get first crack at any redrawn congressional maps, also was there, with state Rep. Michael Johnson, R-Pineville. They’re expecting the governor to call a special session soon to address the possibility of redrawing the current map.
Though the justices could rule sooner, historically the court issues decisions in June.
for pipeline companies to gain land expropriation power for CO2 pipelines, increase public notice requirements about expropriation plans and raise the percentage of landowners who must agree — from 75% to 85% — before a region, or “unit,” can be set aside for underground CO2 storage. Some opponents, however, say Landry hasn’t gone far enough to stop carbon capture and block unconstitutional land acquisition laws.
Mark T. Guillory, a retired Air Force colonel and pilot from Pineville, said Landry should call a special session to repeal a series of laws that, he says, illegally allow companies to use private land for carbon capture and related pipelines.
Guillory who is part of Save My Louisiana, one of several groups opposing carbon capture, said the order is also contradictory because it doesn’t stop the projects already under review
He argued that if one of those future projects were to leak into a big regional aquifer, it won’t matter what was stopped “because you’ve already messed things up.”
“We’re concerned about all of it, not just the ones that you’re going to do from today forward,” he said. “It’s meaningless in that way.” Since gaining primacy, the state has approved only one carbon storage project, in early September

Butofficials hadn’tsettled on asingle number to peg theestimated gap. Legislative Auditor Mike Waguespack’sanalysis, presented to the City Council on Wednesday,offered for the firsttimeaconcrete number that officials will use in finalizing the budget for 2026 as they try to plug the gap.
“Wehaven’thad acommon set of facts. Nowwehave a common set of facts,” said City Council Budget Chair Joe Giarrusso. “Wehave sobering news that we have to deal with.”
The $160 million deficit is roughly 17%of the consolidated general fund expendituresthatWaguespack identified, which totaled $927 million. The city’s2025 adopted general fund was $878 million; its total budgeted spendingfrom all sources was $1.78 billion.
Addressing the spending gap with existing reserves will leave the city with a dangerously low fund balance —orreserve fund —of $46 million, or just 5% of operating expenses, according to the auditor’sanalysis.
The city needs more than triple that amount to cover twomonths of expenses, which is the minimum recommended by government finance experts, Waguespack told council members.
“In ahurricane-prone area, you probably needto have alittle more because of restructuring in FEMA. Who knowswhatwill happenwith federal resources,” Waguespack said.
“You will hear us talking about an economythat’sopentoeveryone, an economythatlifts everyoneup,” Richmond said, adding that theteam planstorecommend ways to expand investmentsin NewOrleans’ youth and help small and disadvantagedbusinesses accesscity contracts, among other priorities.

Moreno said she first met Charbonnet around 10 years ago when shewas astate representative workingonlegislation to address domesticviolence. She praised Charbonnetfor understanding “the different nuancesofwhat’sreallyhappening

Butthreestraight years of deficitspending sincethen havedepleted the fund balance to about one-tenth of what it wasin2022, theauditor found.
Most of theexisting fund balance— all but $8 million —islocked away in an emergency savings fundthat can be tapped only in certaincircumstances under the city charter. That leaves Mayorelect Helena Moreno’sincoming administration with almostno breathing room for contingency spending next year unless the city finds ways to generatenew revenue with highertaxes andfees Moreno, whotakes office in January and announced hertransitionteam chairs on Wednesday,was in attendancefor thecouncil briefing, which included several roundsofargument between other council members and city financeofficials.

While those are the two most significantproposals, thetotal combined amount of allthe increases isn’t clear.It’salsonot clear which,ifany,the council will bring up for avote. In astatement, the Cantrell administration said therevenue measures are necessary to maintain city services.
“While budget reductions and management efficiencies are part of the solution, new revenue will be critical to sustaining vital services andensuring long-term financial stability,”the statementsaid.
How exactly thedeficit ballooned wasn’t fully explained on Wednesday,but Waguespack pointed to a major flawinthe budgetthat contributed to the shortfall. The2025budgetincludedal-
mostnothing —just $57,500 —for overtime.
Overtime costs of tens of millions of dollarsare typically expected in anormal year.In2024, for instance, thecityspent $47 million on overtime, mostly paid for with budgeted positions thatweren’tfilled, apractice that’sbeen in place in recent years. Butthe 2025 budget was tailored to theexisting workforce, meaning there wasn’tany wiggle room Moreover,2025 included overtime costsstemming from both the Bourbon Street terrorattack and the historic snowstorm three weekslater.City officials now predict overtime will cost $50 million by the end of the year

“We’ve just got to be betterindoing projections,” Waguespack said. “I think there was some over-optimism.”
After arguing about the budget formost of the year,council members and administration officials recently pledgedtobury the hatchet. But tempers flared again on Wednesday as Giarrusso andChiefFinancial Officer RomySchofieldSamuel traded blamefor allowing things to get so bad.
Giarrusso accused Schofield-Samuel of failing to provide detailed information. Schofield-Samuel accused Giarrusso of overlooking the information her office hasprovided. They agreed the budgetrelies too heavily on reserves, but they held each other respon-

“I was told Iwas manufacturing acrisis. We weretold that succinctly,”she said, referring to comments by Giarrusso and other council members earlier this year
The argument touched on still-simmering resentments over an aborted $90 millionsettlement with theOrleans Parish School BoardthatGiarrusso helped negotiate and that Montaño, wholefthis position earlierthis year,signed offoninNovember Cantrell killed the settlementtwo months later,even though aportion of it —a$10 millioncash payment —was included in the 2025 budget that Cantrell approved.

Most U.S. stocks rise in another erratic day
NEW YORK Most U.S. stocks rose Wednesday following another topsy-turvy day on Wall Street.
The S&P 500 added 0.4%, but only after jumping toward one of its biggest gains since the summer, erasing it all and then climbing back.
The Nasdaq composite climbed 0.7% after earlier pinballing between a drop of 0.4% and a rally of 1.4%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged the market and edged down by 17 points, or less than 0.1%.
The erratic trading followed Tuesday’s roller coaster, where the Dow careened between a loss of 615 points and a jump of 455. The dizzying moves go back to the end of last week, when President Donald Trump shattered what had been a remarkably calm and strong run for Wall Street by threatening much higher tariffs on China. Technology stocks helped lead the way Wednesday following a better-than-expected profit report from ASML, a major supplier to the semiconductor industry. It expects its revenue for 2025 to be 15% above last year’s, while next year’s should be at least as high as this year’s.
Waymo plans driverless taxis in London in 2026
LONDON Robotaxi pioneer Waymo plans to expand to London next year, marking the company’s latest step in rolling out its driverless ride service internationally
Waymo said Wednesday that it will start testing its selfdriving cars on London streets in the coming weeks — with a human “safety driver” behind the wheel as it seeks to win government approval for its services.
In a blog post, Waymo said it will “lay the groundwork” for its London service in the coming months. The company said it will “continue to engage with local and national leaders to secure the necessary permissions for our commercial ride-hailing service.”
Waymo’s self-driving taxis have been operating in the United States for years, and currently serve the cities of Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Austin, Texas. This year, the company made its first moves to expand internationally by teaming up with local partners in Japan for testing, though no launch date has been set for commercial service there.
Smucker sues Trader Joe’s over sandwiches
The J.M. Smucker Co. is suing Trader Joe’s, alleging the grocery chain’s new frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are too similar to Smucker’s Uncrustables in their design and packaging.
In the lawsuit, which was filed Monday in federal court in Ohio, Smucker said the round, crustless sandwiches Trader Joe’s sells have the same pielike crimp markings on their edges that Uncrustables do. Smucker said the design violates its trademarks
Smucker also asserted that the boxes Trader Joe’s PB&J sandwiches come in violate the Orrville, Ohio-based company’s trademarks because they are the same blue color it uses for the lettering on “Uncrustables” packages.
Trader Joe’s boxes also show a sandwich with a bite mark taken out of it, which is similar to the Uncrustables design, Smucker said.
“Smucker does not take issue with others in the marketplace selling prepackaged, frozen, thaw-and-eat crustless sandwiches. But it cannot allow others to use Smucker’s valuable intellectual property to make such sales,” the company said in its lawsuit.
Smucker is seeking restitution from Trader Joe’s. It also wants a judge to require Trader Joe’s to deliver all products and packaging to Smucker to be destroyed

U.S. working on more aid to Argentina
BY FATIMA HUSSEIN and ANDREA VULCANO Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is looking to provide an additional $20 billion in financing for Argentina through a mix of financing from sovereign funds and the private sector
That would come on top of the $20 billion credit swap line that the U.S. Treasury pledged to Argentine President Javier Milei and his government this month to bolster the South American nation’s col-
lapsing currency
“We are working on a $20 billion facility that would complement our swap line, with private banks and sovereign funds that, I believe, would be more focused on the debt market,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters Wednesday He called it “a private-sector solution” and said “many banks are interested in it and many sovereign funds have expressed interest.”
At a White House meeting Tuesday with Milei, Republican President Donald Trump said his administration wanted to help “our
neighbors” with the aid package, but he also suggested that the money could be pulled if Milei’s party did not prevail in the Oct. 26 midterm elections.
“If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina,” Trump said. The Argentine peso weakened slightly Wednesday after Trump’s comments. The peso depreciated about 0.7%, with the dollar the currency Argentines rely on to save — trading at 1,395 pesos, compared with 1,385 pesos the previous day
In Argentina, the opposition’s criticism was swift.
Former President Cristina Fernández, who is under house arrest after a corruption conviction, wrote on social media: “Trump to Milei in the United States: ‘Our agreements depend on who wins election.’ Argentines you already know what to do!” Martín Lousteau, president of the centrist Radical Civic Union, said “Trump doesn’t want to help a country — he only wants to save Milei,” and that “nothing good can come of this.”
Shutdown putting spotlight on cracks in U.S. aviation system
BY RIO YAMAT AP airlines and travel reporter
A startling message came over the radio from an air traffic control tower near Los Angeles less than a week into the federal government shutdown: “The tower is closed due to staffing.” Without enough air traffic controllers to guide planes into and out of Hollywood Burbank Airport, the tower went dark for almost six hours on Oct. 6, leaving pilots to coordinate their movements among themselves. Flight delays averaged two-and-a-half hours in one of the first visible signs that the shutdown was already taking a toll on the nation’s aviation system.
Since the shutdown began Oct. 1, the Federal Aviation Administration has reported controller shortages in cities across the U.S., from airports in Boston and Philadelphia, to control centers in Atlanta and Houston. Flight delays have spread to airports in Nashville, Dallas, Newark and more. And already there has been an increase in unscheduled absences among security screeners at some airports. The union representing Transportation Security Administration employees says the absences haven’t yet caused major disruptions, but it warned longer lines at security checkpoints could soon become a reality after workers received their final paychecks over the weekend.
Experts and union leaders say the disruptions are a stark reminder that the aviation system is already stretched too thin by chronic understaffing and outdated technology. They warn the cracks in the system could rapidly deepen the longer the shutdown drags on and critical aviation workers are without their regular paychecks.
“It’s like having a drought the year after you had a drought,” Greg Raiff, CEO of Elevate Aviation Group, told The Associated Press.
Problems have persisted for years
These concerns aren’t new. In 2019 the aviation system buckled under the weight of a 35-day government shutdown — the longest in U.S. history — during President Donald Trump’s first term.
Around the three-week mark, air traffic controllers, many of them working up to 60 hours a week, sued the government over their missed paychecks. One terminal at the Miami International Airport was forced to close because security screeners were calling out sick in large numbers. Some even quit altogether
“Here we are so many years later and the problems have not been addressed,” said aviation attorney Ricardo Martinez-Cid, a Florida Bar-certified expert on aviation law who regularly represents crash victims.
“Now we’re in a worse position when we had been put on notice. We had the opportunity to address it.”
Since then, the country has faced repeated warnings. In January, a midair crash over the Potomac River involving a commercial jet and a military helicopter killed 67 people.
A Transportation Security Administration worker guides travelers at a security checkpoint in Denver International Airport on Thursday.
A series of equipment failures and radar outages this year also highlighted the need for upgrades.
Controller shortage at a ‘critical’ point
Before the latest shutdown, both the FAA and TSA were already dealing with staffing shortages. That includes a shortage of about 3,000 air traffic controllers.
Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, has said staffing levels have reached a “critical” point, the lowest in decades. The shortage is so severe that even a few air traffic controllers missing work can disrupt operations at already understaffed facilities.
“And on top of that,” he said, “they’re working with unreliable equipment.”
The shutdown began just as the FAA was starting to make some progress on addressing the shortage of controllers and modernizing the outdated equipment they rely on that keeps disrupting flights when it malfunctions
The agency says it topped its goal of hiring 2,000 controllers this year after streamlining the application process at its academy in Oklahoma City, but it will take years still to eliminate the shortage. And it had just begun looking for companies to help oversee a $12.5 billion effort to overhaul its aging and complex technology systems.
Now, the shutdown is delaying those longneeded efforts. And union leaders say the staffing shortages may be worse by the time the government reopens.
Shutdown could increase gaps in staffing
Johnny Jones, secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Government Employees chapter representing TSA workers, expressed concern that the shutdown could drive even more security screeners to leave
the agency, especially given the uncertainty that the workers already have faced this year That includes the Trump administration’s attempts to revoke their collective bargaining rights.
Daniels, meanwhile, warned it could stoke fear among newer controllers and trainees who might reconsider the career entirely to avoid working in future shutdowns.
It’s a long-standing concern. In 2019, after the 35-day shutdown ended, a congressional committee hearing dug into the impacts on air travel.
“All of these air traffic controllers and aviation safety professionals were used as pawns in a political fight that had nothing to do with aviation. This is wrong and must not be allowed to happen again,” warned the union leader representing air traffic controllers at the time.
At the hearing, there were also bipartisan calls for reform to keep the FAA funded “without interruption, even when the rest of the government shuts down,” as one lawmaker put it Stories were shared of controllers and TSA agents taking on extra jobs to pay rent, mortgage and other bills despite working longer shifts to fill the gaps in staffing. Lawmakers and industry officials who testified agreed: The shutdown made the aviation system less safe.
“We implore all involved, please heed not only our warnings but the entire stakeholder community’s warnings. This vicious budgetary cycle of stops and starts with little to no stability or predictably has simply got to stop,” said Nick Calio, then-president and CEO of Airlines for America, an industry trade group representing airlines including Delta, United and Southwest. Associated Press transportation reporter Josh Funk contributed to this report.
Group buying Aligned Data Centers in deal worth about $40B
BY MICHELLE CHAPMAN Associated Press
A group including BlackRock, Nvidia and Microsoft is buying Aligned Data Centers in an approximately $40 billion deal in an effort to expand next-generation cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure. The acquisition comes amid a flurry of deals in recent months involving top AI developers that are flooding the booming AI sector with resources and money, and addressing resources — such as electricity and infrastructure — needed to support such technology. Last week it was revealed that
semiconductor maker AMD will supply its chips to artificial intelligence company OpenAI as part of an agreement to team up on building AI infrastructure. OpenAI will also get the option to buy as much as a 10% stake in AMD, according to a joint statement announcing the deal The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026. Last month, OpenAI and Nvidia announced a $100 billion partnership that will add at least 10 gigawatts of data center computing power
Aligned’s portfolio includes 50 campuses and more than 5 gigawatts of operational and planned capacity, including assets under de-
velopment, mostly located across the U.S. and in Latin America. Aligned, which is privately held, will continue to be led by CEO Andrew Schaap and keep its headquarters in Dallas. One of the sellers, Macquarie Asset Management, initially invested in Aligned in 2018. Ben Way, head of Macquarie Asset Management, said in a statement, “The scaling of Aligned Data Centers from two locations to 50 in seven years is representative of our approach to working with great companies and teams to support their rapid growth and deliver positive impact.” The transaction is the first deal for the investment consortium,
which is named the Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Partnership. The consortium has an initial target of mobilizing and deploying $30 billion of equity capital, with the potential of reaching $100 billion including debt.
“AIP is positioned to meet the growing demand for the infrastructure required as AI continues to reshape the global economy,” BlackRock Chairman and CEO and AIP Chairman Larry Fink said in a statement “This partnership is bringing together leading companies and mobilizing private capital to accelerate AI innovation and drive global economic growth and productivity.”

Born in 1926 in New Orleans, Charles Calvin Holdeman Jr.grew up through the Great Depression, waiting in soup lines and packing his shoes with cardboardwhen they wore thin.
At 17, with World WarII raging across both oceans, Holdeman volunteeredfor service in the United States Marine Corps. He believed either the salary or the life insurance would benefit his mother back home.
At 18, Holdeman waded through volcanic ash on the shores of the island of Iwo Jima. Four days after the first landings, Holdemen witnessed Marines from the 5th Division raise the American flag over Mount Suribachi on the horizon
On Sept 14, Holdeman celebrated his 99th birthday at the Barclay House on Siegen Lane in Baton Rouge, surrounded by three generations of family,honored by letters from Mayor-President Sid Edwards and Gov. Jeff Landry,and gifteda Louisiana state flag thathad flown over the Capitol. He died afew weekslateron Oct. 3.
On Wednesday, Holdeman was laid to rest withfull military honors at the Southeast Louisiana VeteransCemetery in Slidell. He was buried with ared Marine Corps veteran hat his family said he was never seen without.
The flag that covered his casket was delivered to Holdeman’sgrandniece, Rebecca Nicole Easley,who took care of him over the past year
Despite coming from a military family,Easley said her last months with Holdeman gave her new perspective on how veterans’ service continues even after they leave the armed forces.
“These people didn’tjust give their lives when they went to war,” Easley said, “they gave the rest of their life, too.” Holdeman’sdeath highlights the slowly-closing period of American history with still-living witnesses to the U.S. struggle againstthe Axis powers in World WarII.
As such, much of Holdeman’sstory is now being carried on by hissurviving family.OnWednesday,they told The Advocate how hard his young life in New Orleans had been.
He workedodd jobs to help his mother and his younger sister untildesperation forced Holdeman’smother to give up the younger child for adoption.
The loss instilled in him a need to take care of his family,regardless of the cost
“Once he was finished withschool, he said,‘I’m gonna join the Marine Corps.Because they’re paying,’”Easley said. “But
“Brothers to your left and right,” added Alex Nesbit, a nephew another generation younger and himself aMarine veteran.
On the beach, Holdeman “did what he was told” and despite noteverworking in communications, wasordered to run between battalion headquarters on the beachand connectthem with wire so they could talk.
Asuperior officer allegedly turnedtohim and asked if he could tie asquare knot, when he said“yes,” he got handed aspool of wire and was told to move.
AfterIwo Jima, he worked in the construction of explosive shells, Easley said.
Holdeman spent timeserving as military police on Guam, guarding Japanese prisoners of war Holdeman arrivedata port in Louisiana in November1946, andbythattime the receptions from American civilians had cooled.
Holdemanwas part of a world-historic event while still only ateenager,but his family said the rest of his lifewas full of the samelove of service he showed on Iwo Jima’ssands.
not onlythat, if he died at war, they offered a$10,000 insurance policytothe family.And he did thatfor his mother, becausehefigured ‘I could eithersend her moneyhome andcome back and still take care of her,or if Idid die you’d be rich.’”
He was assigned to the4th Marine Division, 23rd Marines.
Like many veterans, Holdeman wasn’t eager to describe histime in the military,especially survivingof the Battle of IwoJima, the only time hesaw combat.
More often, the stories Easleyand her cousins received were funnier Holdeman had no driver’s license, andhad never been behind awheel in his life, Easley said. However,while deployed, he once was ordered to move ajeep to a different part ofthe island.
“He always said,‘Youdid what you were told, what you did was what you were told,’”Easley said So,withoutanother question, he got behind the wheel and there, on thesands of aforeign land, learned to drive
Another exampleofa story he would tell, related by his great-nephew Wade Holdeman,showedthe gallows humor Marines often used while fighting in the Pacific.
AccordingtoWade Holde-
man,his great-uncle and his fellow infantrymen were once bickering over who amongthem had secured a kill on an enemy Japanese soldier “They all argued. Igot him. No, no, Igot him. No, Igot him,”WadeHoldeman related When theyapproached the fallen soldier,they found him“riddled with holes,” Wade Holdeman said, and concluded “we all got him.”
As he talked,the smile slightly fell from Wade’s face.
“He neverreally talked about the battle,losing friends,” he said.
Alongtime friend of Holdeman’s from the VFW,William Hunton, said one of the mostvivid tellings of Holdeman’sIwo Jima story was giventoaclass of Civil Air Patrol cadets, 12- and 13-year-old boys. Hunton compared it to TomHanks war drama miniseries “The Pacific.”
Holdeman told hisfamily aboutthe fear andthe anticipation he felt before landing on theshores of Iwo Jima He did two things: pray,and write himself off as notcoming back.
“He said, ‘You hit that beach, and at that point, mom, apple pie,USA, all that’sgoneout the window. It’syou and your brother,’” Wade Holdeman said.
Just months before his death,ina conversation with Nesbit, Holdemantalked about gettingthe news of the atomicbombings of Hiroshima andNagasaki and the relief of aJapanese surrender which avoided an invasion of thehome islands.
Oncethe war was won,
While he struggled to find work immediately after the war, Holdeman eventually found alifelong calling with theU.S.PostOffice, working for 37 years and retiring as chief engineer He also spent over six decades as the director andchair of theboard for the Post Office Employees Credit Union.
Holdeman also served as commander of VFW Post 3267 formanyyears, but would “nevertakeadime from the VFW,” according to Hunton. He wouldn’tlet the organization pay for his room and board on trips, believing other veterans were more deserving of the money
Thisselflessness wasbest shownbythe fact Holdemanvolunteered well into his 90s,first with Jefferson Parish Meals on Wheels. The most well-known volunteering he did wasfor the Southeast Louisiana VeteransHome in Reserve. For years, Holdeman collected $1,000 each month in recycled cans, and consistently donated thefunds to the home. His nephew Nesbit said the connection between Marines is strong across generations and regardless of which warsthey fought OtherMarineveteranshonored Holdeman at his grave site, and two members of an honorguard folded hiscasket flag.
“Having all these jarheads around here, it’sanunderlying connection, it’sabrotherhood in common,” Nesbit said.
Despitehis age, Holdeman’sfamily said he had immense strength over the last year of medical care, with the 99-year-old consistently doing moreexercises than his physical therapy required.
Nesbit attributes it to being aMarine.
“We’re hard as hell to kill,” Nesbit said. “He didn’tgo downeasy.”
While having no children of his own, Holdeman discovered awhole other side of his family in the1970s while perusing aphone book. Almostall of hisgrandandgreat-grand-niecesand -nephews said that “Uncle Charlie” would always arrive at their homes with snacks,cookies andespecially jars of pickles.

Ukrainian officials meet with U.S. weapons manufacturers
BY ILLIA NOVIKOV Associated Press
KYIV, Ukraine
A Ukrainian government delegation has met with prominent American weapons manufacturers during a U.S visit, a senior Kyiv official said Wednesday, before President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s meeting with U.S. counterpart Donald Trump at the White House later this week.
A delegation led by the head of the Ukrainian president’s office Andrii Yermak, and Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko met with representatives of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, Yermak wrote in a Telegram post.
Yermak didn’t disclose what was discussed during the talks, but said that his country’s cooperation with the two companies “continues to grow” as Ukraine looks for further help resisting Russia’s all-out war, which began on Feb. 24, 2022.
Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser to Yermak, posted on X that Ukraine is seeking cruise missiles, air defense systems and joint drone production agreements from the United States.
Raytheon produces Patriot air defense systems, which have been vital for Ukrainian efforts to counter Russian long-range strikes, and Tomahawk cruise missiles Kyiv officials are keen to obtain Tomahawks, which could allow Ukraine to strike targets deep inside Russia, including Moscow, accurately and with large warheads
Lockheed Martin also manufactures a wide array of sophisticated weapon systems that can help Ukraine.
While Zelenskyy is widely expected to request Trump’s go-ahead at the Oval Office to procure Tomahawks, Washington has hesitated over such a move out of concern that it could escalate the war and deepen tensions between the United States and Russia.
However, Trump on Sunday warned Russia that he may send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Moscow doesn’t end its war there soon — possibly using that threat to increase the pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to compro-
mise.
“If this war does not end, if there is no path to peace in the short term then the United States, along with our allies, will take the steps necessary to impose costs on Russia for its continued aggression,” U.S Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Ukraine’s Western backers, gathered at NATO headquarters in Brussels.
“If we must take this step, the U.S. War Department stands ready to do our part in ways that only the United States can do,” he said.
Putin said that Tomahawks wouldn’t change the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine.
In an interview with Russian newspaper Vedomosti Wednesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that if Washington decided to send Tomahawks to Kyiv, it would cause “colossal damage to the prospects for normalizing relations between Russia and the United States.”
The NATO defense ministers meeting in Brussels discussed how they can maintain the momentum of weapons supplies to Ukraine, after European military aid for Kyiv
dropped sharply in the summer European allies and Canada are buying American weapons to help Kyiv hold back Russia’s forces.
Meanwhile, Svyrydenko, the Ukrainian prime minister, said that she met with U.S Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday, as the two countries put the finishing touches to the U.S.-Ukraine Reinvestment Fund, part of an agreement granting American access to Ukraine’s vast mineral resources.
Svyrydenko said that the fund is “several important decisions away” from starting to function.
The first potential projects set to receive investments in the critical minerals, energy and infrastructure sectors are taking shape, she said.
Meanwhile, Russia and Ukraine continued their almost daily attacks on each other’s energy assets, as Ukraine tries to dent Russian fuel supplies and oil revenue and Russia seeks to cripple the Ukrainian power grid before winter Ukraine’s armed forces conducted an overnight strike on an oil terminal in Feodosia, in the Russiaannexed Crimean Peninsula, according to a post on Telegram.

POZA RICA, Mexico The stench of decay spread for several miles around Poza Rica on Wednesday, one of the areas hardest hit by last week’s torrential rains that flooded central and eastern Mexico.
In the center of this oil-producing city near the Gulf of Mexico, a lingering cloud of dust hovered over the main avenue where soldiers worked nonstop. Farther east, near the Cazones River which overflowed on Friday — several streets still lay under 3 feet of water and mud, topped by another 6 feet of piled-up trash, furniture, and debris.
“A week later, this looks horrible — worse. You can’t even cross the street,” lamented Ana Luz Saucedo, who fled with her children when the water came rushing in “like the sea.”
Now she fears infection because, in addition to the garbage and mud, there’s a corpse near her house that still hasn’t been collected, she said. “The dead body has already started to rot, and no one has come for him.”
The toll of last week’s devastating rains, floods and landslides continues to become more clear as Mexico’s government chugs along on rescue and recovery efforts
As of Wednesday, the government recorded 66 deaths, while the number of missing people climbed to 75. Nearly 200 communities remain cut off — most of them in the central mountainous region of Hidalgo, where helicopters have struggled to reach them because of constant cloud cover Authorities have attributed the disaster to the convergence of several weather systems — two tropical systems along with a cold and a warm front — that hit just as a particularly intense rainy season was ending, leaving rivers saturated and hillsides weakened.
But residents like Saucedo believe the warnings came too late — at least in Poza Rica.
“Many people died because they didn’t give notice — really, they didn’t warn us,” she said. “They came only when the river was already overflowing not before, so people could evacuate.”
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said this week that alert systems for such events don’t work the same way as those used for hurricanes. However, she acknowledged that once the emergency phase ends, officials will need to review river maintenance and emergency protocols to determine “what worked, what we need to improve and whether there are better alert mechanisms.”

Moreno supports parade changes
Thursday’s lineup, start time would change
BY DOUG MacCASH | Staff writer
The Thursday night before Mar-
di Gras is one of the most popular evenings of the Carnival season, with crowds of spectators lined up along the Uptown route to cheer
the passing of the Babylon, Chaos and Muses parades.
But any delay to the flow of floats pushes the parades deeper into the night During Carnival 2025, for instance, the night’s celebrations were disrupted when the break-
down of a Chaos parade delayed the trailing Muses parade, which wound up rolling into the wee hours.
On Wednesday morning, the City Council took a step toward making future late nights less likely Dur-
ing the council’s Governmental Affairs Committee meeting, newly reelected council member JP Morrell introduced the discussion, proposing that the Thursday night parades begin at 4:30 p.m. instead of 5:30 p.m., and that the Chaos parade be moved into the starting position, followed by Babylon and Muses.
The schedule change is just one part of an agreement among the three parading groups that was presented to the City Council in September. The agreement included promises to start promptly, avoid unnecessary stops and have tow trucks and tools at the ready in case of breakdowns. Two members of the Krewe of
THE END OF AN ERA
New Robert supermarkets open Thursday where two Langenstein’s once stood
Michael Crain, of Crain’s Signs, takes down the Langenstein’s sign at the Old Metairie store on Wednesday. Langenstein’s, which opened its doors Uptown more than a century ago, was purchased by New Orleans-based Robert Fresh Market.
BY STEPHANIE RIEGEL | Staff writer
The signs came down this week from two Langenstein’s supermarkets in Uptown and Old Metairie, marking the end of an era for the longtime, locally owned chain
The stores reopen Thursday as Robert Fresh Market locations after a weekslong transition from ownership by one longtime family of grocers to another Last month, the Lanaux family, which opened the first Langenstein’s on the corner of Prytania and Arabella streets in 1922 and subsequently grew the business to include three supermarkets and a liquor store, announced they were selling to the Roberts, who own five stores across the New Orleans area.
The deal included the Langenstein’s locations on Arabella Street and on Metairie Road as well as Prytania Wine and Spirits the original Langenstein’s location — though it did not include a River Ridge store, as previously reported.
The River Ridge location will not remain open for long, however A spokesperson for the Lanaux family said they will close the store when its lease expires on Dec. 2.
Langenstein’s was the oldest grocery store in New Orleans and one of the oldest brands in a historic city where long-ago retailers like K&B, Schwegmann’s and McKenzie’s still hold a place in the hearts of locals.
At the time of the sale announcement, Langenstein’s fifth-generation owner, Ellis Lanaux, said his family opted to sell after the Roberts ap-
proached with an offer that was too good to refuse.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. But all of Langenstein’s 100 employees, including those at the River Ridge location, were offered positions by Robert, according to Marc Robert III. He said about 95% had accepted the offer
No immediate changes are planned for the stores, outside of the signage In early 2026, the Metairie Road location will be renovated, Robert said.
“While it was the wish of the Lanaux family for us to not retain the Langenstein name, we will be continuing to service all of their great recipes,” he said.

Judge suspended after cursing incidents
La. Supreme Court goes beyond recommended censure for Foret
BY JOHN SIMERMAN Staff writer
Jefferson Parish Judge Donald
“Chick” Foret received a 30-day unpaid suspension Wednesday over a series of curse-laden incidents from his first year on the 24th Judicial District Court bench. The Louisiana Supreme Court handed down the suspension to Foret on Wednesday, citing “his multiple displays of improper judicial demeanor.” The court went beyond the public censure that the
Louisiana Judiciary Commission recommended for Foret. The court also assessed Foret $7,488 in costs.
The Supreme Court endorsed the commission’s view that Foret, 72, a former TV news legal analyst before he won a seat on the state bench in Gretna in 2020, violated numerous judicial canons over several salty outbursts.”
Foret
“Judge Foret is being disciplined for his intemperate words and actions,” Justice John Michael Guidry wrote in the court’s opinion. Foret issued a statement after Wednesday’s ruling.
“To say that Judge Foret is disappointed with that decision would be a massive understatement,” it read.
His statement pointed to the court’s finding of “no evidence that Judge Foret exploited his position as a judge to satisfy his own personal desires.”
Foret aimed to “reassure the Jefferson Parish community that this discipline was a result of behavior that may appear unbecoming, but at no time did he engage in any activity that exploited his position as judge for self-serving purposes,” the statement read.
Among his alleged transgressions, Foret lost his temper and allegedly swore at his criminal clerk during an emotional trial.
In another incident, Foret was accused of weighing in for one side in civil settlement talks, instructing one lawyer to tell anoth-
N.O. jail escapee pleads not guilty
Staff report
Convicted murderer Derrick Groves pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a charge of felony simple escape following his break from the New Orleans jail in May and five months on the run, according to Attorney General Liz Murrill’s office. Groves appeared for his arraign-
ment in Orleans Parish Criminal District Court via Zoom, according to Murrill’s office. He is currently being held at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.
Groves, who was captured and arrested earlier this month following a standoff with police at a house in Atlanta, was the last of 10 New Orleans jail escapees to be found.
Murrill’s office had already charged Groves with simple escape in June, but officials said Wednesday more charges could be coming in the future.
“We will ensure he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Murrill said in a prepared statement.

er to “go f*** himself” if he didn’t raise his client’s offer Foret is also accused of refusing to recuse himself after expressing bias in a civil case against nursing homeowner Bob Dean over the botched evacuation of seven facilities for Hurricane Ida.
In that instance, Foret cut loose his personal sentiments against a local attorney, Jason Baer, during a bench conference at which he described Baer to other lawyers as a “piece of s***.” An ad hoc judge found that Foret could remain on the case, but a state appeals court disagreed and tossed him from it.
Foret agreed to the commission’s recommendation of a public censure, but he refused to accept blame for refusing to voluntarily step off the Dean case.

South Peters and St. Joseph streets near the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center Bansmer said that while it would be “premature” to say they have a final agreement to buy the hotel, they hope to close the transaction soon. “We’ve been taking a very good look at this and I think it’s very possible that (purchasing the property) will be the outcome,” with the sale finalized before the end of the year, he said.
Several Supreme Court justices made clear at a hearing in May, however, that they thought Foret should have done so after he’d openly questioned his own ability to handle it fairly. Foret’s attorney, Gus Fritchie, told the court that the judge always thought he could be fair in the case. Foret has described the allegations against him as a product of an old-school vernacular that reflects his age and upbringing rather than judicial bias. A former state and federal prosecutor, he told the commission he’d sought counsel from a priest and a veteran retired judge, Dennis Waldron.
“I’m not perfect,” he told the commission.
The court took its time — five months since hearing the case — to settle on discipline for Foret.

A driver has been arrested in connection with a head-on crash in which two people were killed and three were injured near Slidell in September Isaac Robertson, 28, of Slidell, was booked on two counts of vehicular homicide and first-degree vehicular negligent injuring, as well as second-offense DWI, reckless driving and driving with a suspended license. Robertson was booked into St. Tammany Parish Correctional Center on Tuesday, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office said.

Le Pavillon’s origins stretch back to 1907, when it opened as the New Denechaud Hotel, a steel-frame structure designed by Toledano & Wogan. The property boasted some of the most modern features in New Orleans at the time, including the city’s first hydraulic elevator, electric lighting, and 217 guest rooms. By 1913, new owners rebranded it as the Hotel DeSoto, which soon became a hub of downtown social life. From 1928 to 1948 its penthouse served as the home of WDSU, the city’s first radio station, cementing its place in local media history
In the 1970s, the building was transformed and renamed Le Pavillon, adopting the ornate European décor that defines it today — marble floors, Czechoslovakian chandeliers, and hand-carved mahogany furnishings. The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 and later joined Historic Hotels of America in 1994.
Modern reinvention
For more than a quarter-century Le Pavillon was owned by Brothers Property Corporation, a Floridabased real estate holding company and subsidiary of American Financial Group of Cincinnati. Brothers Property Corp. purchased the hotel in 1989 for $6.9 million from Great American Communications Co.’s real estate division.
AFG’s hospitality arm owned and managed a diverse portfolio that included luxury hotels, marinas, apartments and resorts. Brothers Property Corp. retained Le Pavillon until 2015, when it sold the property to Dallas-based Ashford Hospitality Trust for $62.5 million. The sale marked a new phase for the historic hotel under a public REIT focused on upscale, full-service assets. Ashford subsequently invested about $19 million in renovations and converted the property into a Marriott Tribute Portfolio hotel, reopening in late 2024. The project modernized guest rooms and meeting spaces while preserving the landmark’s Gilded Age character If the current deal proceeds, it would give Guidry and Bansmer control of a property that bridges New Orleans’ old-world charm and its modern tourism economy Guidry best known for expanding his family’s offshorevessel company, Harvey Gulf International Marine, and later moving into commercial real estate ventures has spent the past two decades developing hotels in New Orleans and beyond. He and Bansmer previously built the 19-story Marriott Residence Inn on St. Charles Avenue, and a 235room TownPlace/SpringHill Suites complex near Disney World in Orlando. Their bid for Le Pavillon sug-
Selective buyers, lower pricing Nationally, hotel investment has slowed as higher borrowing costs and lingering performance volatility weigh on valuations. CoStar reports that U.S. hotel transaction volume fell about 33% in the third quarter of 2025 to $4.3 billion, the lowest quarterly total in nearly two years. Average pricing has slipped to around $177,000 per room, down from above $200,000 in 2022.
The Le Pavillon sale at just under $43 million, or about onethird below its 2015 price mirrors that broader cooling trend. A similar pattern emerged earlier this year when the Hilton New Orleans Hotel on St. Charles Avenue sold for roughly the same discount compared with what its prior owner paid in 2013.
Still, local hotel experts see opportunity in the current environment. Len Wormser, a hotel broker with Hospitality Real Estate Counselors, said the lower prices have spurred a return to local ownership after nearly two decades dominated by large, out-of-town corporations.
Over the past year, Wormser noted, there’s been a noticeable rise in local investors looking to buy hotels, with prices down about 30% across the board. That shift, he said, is “a positive” for the city’s long-term market stability Even with softer metrics — CoStar shows average daily rates down about 7% and RevPAR off nearly 18% year-over-year — New Orleans remains attractive to value-driven buyers. And with historic properties trading at more attainable prices, investors like Guidry and Bansmer are betting that the city’s century-old landmarks still have plenty of life left in them.

What a great journeyI have had fromthe beginning to the end. My mother taughtme to love and respect people
soup) and,ofcourse,fish-
and to understand feelings of others. My father taught me workethicsand how to do stuff around the house. They bothlovedme very much. My wife Daisy, my loving partner through most of this journey, was at my side forover 55 years until she passed away last July. She gave me herloveand support never wavering. Certaineventsinmylife guidedmeforever. Being lucky enough to be bornin NewOrleans was atreasure. The food,music, family, celebrations, and roots were part of me from the beginning.Travelling around thecityatanearly ageonpublictransportation, attending public schools, attending the NOAC,selling soft drinks and popcorn at ayoung ageatnumerous high schoolfootballgames at City Park Stadium gave me astrongindependent base forlife.Being thefirst college graduate(LSU) in my family was agoal Iattained. One majorlife changing experience was going to theU.S.Navy OfficerCandidateSchool and getting my Commissioninthe U.S. Navy.Going to sea on the aircraftcarrierUSS Shangri La gavemeresponsibility and accountabilitythatI used throughout my life.It also gavemethe meeting place formybeloved Daisy at theship's homeportin Mayport, Florida. Other than my parents, wife, and children, there were afew people that influenced my life:myhighschoolbasketballcoach Alex "Greek Athas, John Kuchler and Charles Ennis at D.H. Holmes, Tony Zulli,Paul McIlhenny and three Presbyterian pastors; Austin Olive, ChrisCurtis andJason Wood.Mytwenty years of being in the merchandisingarea of D.H. Holmes gave me theopportunity to travel to many partsofthe world. And that continued with my own business therest of my life
Allthree of my children are different and gifted Erik has people talents and is thecoreofa loving family.Amy has tenderness grace, and understanding that onlydaughters can give.Alex has talents in theartistic world that have blossomedinto wonders. And yes, my four grandchildren, Shepherd Henry Beck, Zachary Quinn Miller, Amanda Daisy Miller, and Vivian Dixie Beck are the future Icannot imagine. Do not fret aboutmefolks.I knowthat with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviorthe best is yetto come.

He met hislifelong friend Barry Babin on his first dayofschoolatSt. Dominic in second grade, and they are stillbest friendstothisday.Heoftensaidthatgrowing up in Lakeview was one of the greatest blessingsofhis life —biking withfriends to play ball (always home by 6p.m. forsupper)and enjoying his mother's red beans everyMonday, which remainedhis favorite meal. His dad, Edward Sr., was an insurance man whose passions included hunting and fishing,which he taught to Jay at an early age. The family took an annualtrip to Grand Isle— afullday's car ride and an adventure indeed —which was always Jay'sfavoriteweek of the year.

OUR VIEWS
Moreno’s victoryoffers chance for civicunity
With the election of CityCouncil Vice President Helena Moreno as the next mayor of New Orleans, residents have good reasontohope for better timesahead. We congratulateMoreno on herdecisivevictory Moreno has served the council, and before that the stateLegislature, with the kind of energy and focus that should serve New Orleans well as mayor.She also ran alargely positive campaign andbuilt astrong, diversecoalition across party, racial and neighborhood lines. Because shedid this while not burning many bridges, sheoffers thechancefor ahighdegree of civic unityasshe wrestles with themany challenges facing thecity. As everyoneknows, those challenges are daunting. They range from chronically potholedstreets to continuing problems with drainagetopoor signage andlighting in numerous neighborhoods And, of course, publicsafety continuestobea problem, because even as the incidenceofcrime is at itslowest levels in decades, New Orleans’ crime rates stillare significantly abovethe national average.
The city budget, which has doubled in just ten years— wildly outpacing inflation— also now facesshortfalls, which means some judicious belttightening will be very much in order. As asitting member of thecouncil, Moreno will be tasked with working to balance next year’sbudgeteven before she takes office in January
TwoofMoreno’spromises offer reasonfor optimism, assuming she follows through. First, she says she will hire astrong chief administrative officer with significant management experience and letthatchief exercise afirm hand. WhenGreater NewOrleans,Inc.was givenmanagementresponsibilities in preparingthe city forSuperBowl LIX, its success showed how much can be accomplished by those with administrative expertise.
Second,Moreno has moved with admirable dispatchtoencouragepublic input and solicitadvice from civic leaders and other outside specialists. Shesaidshe soon will announceaseries of transition committees to help plan her administration; and she already has launched awebsite,NewDirectionNola.com, to welcome suggestions from thegeneral public, encourage talentedand qualifiedjob seekers andkeep readers up to date on transition planning.
Especially compared to the current administration of LaToya Cantrell, which hasbecome increasingly and infuriatingly insular,Moreno’s moves towards openness constitute abreath of fresh air
Granted, plenty of incoming mayors —includingCantrell—begin with moves such asthese, only toretrench as time goes on. The citizenry should demand thatMoreno keep fostering this atmosphereoftransparency as her administration unfolds.
If Moreno is as careful and intentionalabout taking onanew,executive role as shewas about building the coalitions that powered her to such a big victory —and if she maintains the approachability thathas marked her public service so far —then she should be able to get NewOrleans back on track.
Here’swishing the mayor-elect, and thecity, good luck.

Manufacturingpower fuelsLa.’s future
October is Manufacturing Month, which is atime to celebrate an industrythat often humsquietly in thebackground but powers nearly every part of our daily lives. From petrochemicals and industrial machinery to food processing and plastics, Louisiana’s manufacturing industry is central to our prosperity In Louisiana, we don’tjust make things, we makethings that matter According to theNational Association of Manufacturers, Louisiana manufacturers add roughly $59.4 billion in value, accounting for about 18.1% of the state’sGDP.Atthe sametime, morethan 140,000 Louisianans, with thousands more working in the supply chains and transportation networks,
are employed in manufacturing. These are good-paying, high-skill jobs that sustain families and communities from LakeCharles to Baton Rouge to Monroe. Manufacturing in Louisiana is more than just numbers on aspreadsheet. It’sabout thepeople and pride. It’s the welders,technicians, engineers and operators who show up every day to turn raw materials into products that move theworld forward.
Even with our scale, challenges remain.For example, while manufacturing jobs have hovered in the 140,000145,000 range in recent months, the sector lost anet 1,470 jobs in the third quarter of 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That number

Thank you for another interesting and informative Richard Campanella article, “Rise and Fall” on Sept. 7about on the tireless actions of manySewerage &Water Boardemployees during and after the many dangers of the Katrina flood. Living as aKatrina evacuee in Arkansas, we heard various estimates of how long it would take todrain the city —anywhere from three to six months. When we sawanaerial shot
on TV of one of the Corps’ pumps in action, it looked like water from a garden hose. Three years, not three months, seemed more likely,and we despaired of our house ever being habitable again. So, belated thanks to theamazing and brave S&WB staff who helped get ourdrowned city drained much sooner than we imagined possible.

Congress keepingsalarieswhile others go without
What if our elected senators and representatives decide that they will not accept any salary during thepartial government shutdown?
Not only that, but that they will also direct that their staff members not receive any salaries during the shutdown. Both decisions would be admirable policies to adopt. Since they and the Trumpadministration are the national political body that has caused this shutdown, it is only appropriate that our senators and representatives are financially impacted by it.Our esteemed senators, Congress membersand their staffs will be applauded for their wiliness
to be financially deprived If our senators, Congress members and their staff continue to accept their compensation, then their acceptance of ill-earned monies is despicable. They have put partisan politics first,while ignoring the financial straitsand plansofAmericans. Such office holders should be voted out of office at the next set of election by outraged constituents. Such senators and representatives are partisan cowards who have chosen to not act in the best interests of this country or of its residents.

Moreno’s positive campaign paid offwithvictory
Iwas born and raised in New Orleans and Mayor-elect Helena Moreno certainly deserved to win. She is intelligent, ahard worker and ethical. Moreno focused advertising and campaigning on her agenda, unlike one other candidatewhose TV com-
mercials featured lies aboutMoreno. Wake up, local and national politicians. Focus on agood agenda, lose lies and name-calling, andyou can win.

BEHIND THEHEADLINES ELECTION RESULTS COMMENTARY
Who’sup, who’sdownafter N.O. election
New Orleans went to the polls Saturday.And afterthe votes were counted, columnists
Stephanie Grace, Will Sutton and Clancy DuBos sat down to discuss their takeaways fromCity Council Vice President Helena Moreno’sbig primary win for mayor and other results. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity
DuBos: Ithink the overarching theme of this election was that not alot changed from day one, at least in the big races. There were very few surprises on election night.
Sutton: Yeah, the public pollswere pretty consistent
The only surprise was (Republican Frank) Janusa,who rose from below 1% up to 7% at one point but ended up with 2%
Grace: There is aparty-linevote that can change the 50% plus one calculation, but it didn’tmaterialize. And that probably would havecome mostlyfrom Moreno —but she was at 55%, she had a cushion.
DuBos: Theother thing, Ithink, is that there was afeeling across the board that people knew where things were going to end up anyway,sothey said, “Let’s just get it over with.”
Grace: And there was an effort to make that happen with late endorsements of Moreno from formerMayor Mitch Landrieu andU.S. Rep. Troy Carter.As opposed to the people who were with her early like District Attorney Jason Williams, former U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond and state Sen. JimmyHarris.
DuBos: Icompared Troy’slate endorsement —and the same would be said of Mitch’s—to betting on Secretariat when there was a16th of amile to go in the Belmont.
Grace: Iwant to go back tothis idea of change, or the lack of change over the course of the campaign. It was really one of the more static races I’veever seen. We knew where Moreno was going to be. We knewshe wasthe frontrunner,the one with alot of money and alot of preparation and name recognition. We knew City Council member Oliver Thomas. He’sbeen elected citywide. He has acertain persona that alot of people are drawn to, but Ithink he always had ahard caponhow well he could do because of his criminal conviction way back when. There are just too many people who may appreciate his redemption story but think that can’tbethe face of the city right now
Sutton: He had the lowest percentage voter turnout among the council districts. Abigger turnout would have helped him get closer
TheDuplessis dynamic
Grace: The third candidateisthe one who could have changed the dynamic but didn’t, and that is state Sen. Royce Duplessis. And it was so interesting because he really fits the profile —we’ve seen this over and over again, a new,fresh face that people like. DuBos: There were templates for that, but he didn’tfollow them. Here’saguy who had ahistory of White crossovervotes, but the campaign strategy seemed tobe to just write off White votes and try to be the Black candidate, but not just the Black candidate— he was an angry,strident candidate, which seemed so unlike him. I’m sure we all encountered people who said “This is not the Royce Duplessis Iknow.” ManyWhite
voters saw Moreno but were looking elsewhere, and he didn’t even ask them.
Grace: Ithink his first TV ad goes down as one of thebiggest mistakes of the campaign. He was the least-known candidate but did not start off introducing himself. If youasked him, he had astory he wanted to tell: He’sthe kid from Pontchartrain Park who made good, whose dad took care of the NORD fields where he and his brothers played. He is the guy who could show thatsomeone from New Orleans can succeed andlead. Butinthe ad, anarrator with an exaggerated speaking style used the line that he’s “oneof us.” And when you say “us,” people’sminds immediately go to,OK, who’s“us” and who’s “them?” And Ithink alot of people took it as racial. He would say it was just as much that he’s aNew Orleans native and she’s not, but that’s not howitcame across.
Andwhen he you heardhim talk about it, he talked about Katrina beingabreaking point and this feeling thatoutsiderscame in saidtheyknew better what to do than New Orleanians did. But Moreno was here before Katrina. Also the ad started off with an attack against her
DuBos: He called her “corrupt,” which is demonstrably untrue, and they pulled the ad because it actually drove Royce from second place down tothird, and Oliver went back to second place. It justturned people off.
Grace: If youlook at Moreno’s polling, it was very positive. So if he wantedpeopletoturn on her, he didn’tjust have to taint somebody peopledidn’treally know, he neededtochange their minds That’sreally hard
DuBos: Andthe attack has to be true. Yougotta hit abull’s-eye when you attack.And especially when it’saman attacking awoman Vote of confidenceinCityCouncil
Grace: Another one of his major points in thecampaign was that there is all this dysfunction in City Hall, and who’sbeen at City Hall? Not just the mayor but the council.
Butif you look at theresults overall on electionnight,who did really well? Council members. Not just Moreno, but three incumbent councilmembers were reelected overwhelmingly, and afourth won automatically
becauseshe wasn’teven challenged.
Sutton: At-large Council member JP Morrellgot more than 65,000 votes.For all the criticism that he’sgotten about how he’soperated, his tone, his aggressiveness, thevoters said, “Wewant you there.”
DuBos:I think it’s avote of confidence for the core of City Council. Therewill be three new members, but thecore will be back.
Grace: Let’stalk about state Rep.Matthew Willard, who won Moreno’sat-large seat. That was good campaign.
DuBos: Ithink MattWillardis therising star in citypolitics. Obviously,hehasn’ttaken office yet on the council, but he’s already been arising star in the Legislature.
Grace: It’ll be interestingto see how he pairswithMorrell, becauseMorrell runs hot and Willardseems to runkind of cool temperamentally.That was true of Moreno as well.
DuBos: He’sgoing to step into her role, not just succeed her by taking theseat that sheheld.
Grace: Also it’ll be thefirst time we’ve had two Black at-large members —withfamiliar names, though. Twenty years ago we also had aMorrell and aWillard on the council.
Sutton: Legacy does have an impact in politics,especially in New Orleans.
Grace: Just for the record,JP Morrellisthe son of Cynthia Hedge Morrell, and Matthew Willardisthe nephew of Cynthia Willard-Lewis
Sutton: Speaking of that, there will be one White City Council member,because no matter what happens in theDistrict Erunoff, that will be anon-White representative.
Grace: So that’sCyndi Nguyen, theincumbent Oliver Thomas beat four yearsago, versusstate Rep.Jason Hughes
Sutton: Andhow about that sheriff race?
An easy walk forWoodfork
DuBos: Wasitarace? Michelle Woodfork was the frontrunner from theday sheannounced, and like Moreno, her supportwas unshakable, becausethey threw everything at her
Grace: One thing we’re dancing around here is thatthere is areally identifiable power coalition in our citynow.Moreno, Morrell, the new sheriff, the DA. It includes Richmond. That’sawho’s who.
Dubos: It included (outgoing Council member) JoeGiarrusso, andincludesbothofthe people in therunoff forhis DistrictAseat, Holly Friedman andAimie McCarron,who both workedfor Joe.
Grace: So arewejust going to have alot of unity?
DuBos: Ithink at first, but Helena’shoneymoon is going to be brief because of the budget. Thereare going to be cuts, possibly furloughs, possibly layoffs, reductions in services or taxes or both.
Sutton: Yeah,she can’t wait until Jan. 12 andsay,“Now let’s talkabout the budget.” We’ve had mayor-electsgointo situationswithdeficits before, but it’s always atough thing, because while you’re running, you don’t want to say “I am going to put workers on furlough.”
Grace:Mayor LaToya Cantrell has proposed raising taxes and fees. Obviously Moreno said during the campaign she did not want to do that. We’ll seeifshe can avoid it.
Winnersand Losers
Sutton: So do we seeany big winners, big losers?
Ithink Helena Moreno is a huge winner. And correct me if my developing assessment is wrong, but with this election and with this consensus vote, she becomes the most powerful woman in thestate. And when youlook at the Democratic Party and the troubles they’ve had, Ithink she has an amazing opportunity to shape that party,ifshe wants to.
Dubos: If she hastime to,because she’ll be so busy in the city Ithink overallwomen candidates were big winners here: the mayor,the sheriff, runoff contenders. The only council member electedwithout opposition was Lesli Harris. To me, the biggest loser is Troy Carter.Heoverextended himself. He had three candidateson theballot thathewas allinfor, including Boyd, who,frankly, he should have vetted better Edwin Shorty finishedway out of the money for sheriff, and he lostAlgiers big time. That’s his jurisdictionasconstable of Second CityCourt, and Carter’s base. AndthenDarren Lombard,
the incumbent clerk of criminal court; normally,that’salow-key race, andhealmost lost. Ithink Troy’s an excellent congressmanand Ilike him very much on aone-to-one basis, but he really hada tough day
Grace: On the flip side,I’m gonna sayJason Williams hadavery good day. DuBos: And Cedric Richmond too, Cedric wasall in for Moreno andfor Woodfork. He and Williams came up winners, up and down the ballot.
Grace: Williams, to me, is an emerging forceinthis city.Anyonewho haswatched him can see thathehas very strong political skills of his own, but he’salso been an active part of other successful campaigns. We usedtohavethis system, all the organizations, alphabet soup. Those days have really passed. It’smuchmoreindividuals now And Cedric hasbeenone of them for awhile. Ithink youhave to sayJason is absolutely one of them. Woodfork went to work for him whenshe didn’tget the policesuperintendent job. He is very closetoMoreno. Remember, he wasthe other at-large member during herfirst term. DuBos: She wassupportive of him whenheran for DA, when people thought he wouldn’tmake it because of the indictment hanging over his head (he was lateracquitted). Helena never wavered. And nottosay that he’saloser, but youknow, youcan lose and still win andyou canlose and thenreally hurt yourself. And it’sclear thatRoyce Duplessis lost andhurt himself. He didn’t carry his ownsenatedistrict. He gotwalloped. Contrast that with what Oliverdid in DistrictE Helena gota tremendous Black vote,but Oliverstill ran first there
Sutton: It’sgonna be an interesting fewweeks, as the candidates heal from the pain of running tough campaigns. But there’sno questionsinceSaturdaynight, people arealreadylooking to what might be next.
Grace: Ithink there’s areal reliefinthe city thatwedonot have anothermonth of campaigning, because it feels like the results probably wouldn’tchange anditwould just be nasty and demoralizing.
DuBos: They’ve gotthatinWashington. People don’twantall that divisiveness. Theyjust want to heal

Four years ago, after committing a pair of costly turnovers against a hated rival, Spencer Rattler was banished to the bench.
The man who replaced him in the lineup will be across the field from him Sunday when the New Orleans Saints travel to face the Chicago Bears and quarterback Caleb Williams. Williams was the headliner of the 2024 quarterback draft class that featured a record six passers taken in the top-12 picks — and also one quarterback taken in the fifth round, Rattler who has for the moment secured one of the 32 starting jobs in the NFL.
This Sunday they will meet as peers, albeit with some qualifiers. One was hailed as a “generational prospect.”
The other has had to work to shed the label that comes with his draft position, and is by no means there yet. Still, they are peers. Two of 32. And that is the way Rattler looks at it.

BIRMINGHAM,Ala. After Flau’jae Johnson nearly willed the LSU women’s basketball team back to the Final Four last season, she could have walked off the court in Spokane, Washington, and called it a collegiate career The WNBA was there. Johnson, then a junior, was age-eligible to declare for the draft. But something pulled her back to the Tigers — be it a need to add more tools to her game, a desire to maximize her earning potential or an itch to team back up with Mikaylah Williams and try to bookend her collegiate experience with national championships.
LSU won it all when she was a freshman, then fell one step shy of the Final Four when she was both a sophomore and a junior.
“It was a thought to leave,” Johnson said, “just for the business side Like, people
“I like to put myself up with any of those guys in that (2024 draft) class,” Rattler said Wednesday “I’ve been competing with those guys since high school ball, I’m still doing it to this day I love to compete against those guys, and I definitely want to be mentioned in that group, because I feel like confidence-wise, I’m up there with those guys.” But once they were teammates and it may be fair to say rivals. There was a specific moment that altered the paths for both of them. It was October 2021 and Rattler was the starting quarterback for an unbeaten No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners team. His play had been uneven that season, though, and against Texas it started to fall apart. An early interception led to a touchdown drive that put Texas up 21-7. A second-quarter fumble was followed by another Texas score. Down 35-17, Rattler lost his grip on his starting job.
Four years ago, Rattler lost his job to current Bears QB Williams. Now they will face off. ä See SAINTS, page 2C
LSU run game shows signs of turning corner
BY KOKI RILEY Staff writer
The shotgun handoff went to Ju’Juan Johnson, and a gaping hole was left for him on the left side of the offensive line. It was the sort of crevice LSU running backs haven’t encountered much through the first half of the season. But Johnson didn’t hesitate as he took the ball and sprinted 56 yards to put LSU at the 11yard line with 2:51 left in the third quarter against South Carolina.
The sophomore’s run was LSU’s longest carry of the season, coming on an uncharacteristically strong night for its rushing attack. The Tigers finished with a season-high 166 yards rushing on 30 carries, averaging 5.5 yards per attempt in their 20-10 win over the Gamecocks. “A lot of the things that take time to come together are starting to come to fruition,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said Monday “And so the run game, as I said, has got to be central to our overall offensive efficiency.” Kelly’s right. LSU’s improved running game played a big part in its offense becoming more efficient Saturday The 420 yards of total offense it accumulated was

think that your NIL stops when you go to the league, but in fact, you actually get more money, so that was a big deal.” It wasn’t always certain whether Johnson would make it to this point, one in which she represents LSU — as a senior — at the annual basketball media days that the SEC held Tuesday and Wednesday In April, Johnson had one week to decide about her future. Would she go pro? Would she return to the Tigers for her senior year? The hybrid basketball-music star maintains an active presence on social media, but she went

Broncos’ top-ranked defenseset to getbetter
BY ARNIE STAPLETON AP pro football writer
ENGLEWOOD,Colo. Statistically, theDenverBroncos have the best defense in the NFL, and it could be getting even better this weekend.
Linebacker Dre Greenlaw is eligibletocome off injured reserve against the New York Giants (2-4)on Sunday after rec ov er i ng from aquadriceps injury that has sidelined him since summertime.
Greenlaw practiced Wednesday for the first time since Sept. 12.
“Dre looked good out there,” cornerback Patrick Surtain said. “Obviously,his first day back out there on the field in a minute. It seems like he’s very sharp on everything, the game plan, so I’m very excited for him.” And for how much better the Broncos (4-2) can be with their prized free-agent acquisition’s Denver debut.
“I think it’sawesome,”edge rusher Jonathon Cooper said. “Obviously,weknow the type of player Dre Greenlaw is; you watch the film. And you add that type of dynamic to this defense with him being right, it’sjust going to take us even to another level.
“I’m excited for him to return.”
Denver’sdefense leadsthe NFL in severalcategories, including red zone defense (28.6%) and third-down defense (27.1%). Their 254.2 yardsper game yield is just behindAtlanta’s253.4. Their league-best30 sacks are 10 morethan secondplace Pittsburgh and Nik Bonitto leads the NFL witheight sacks, putting him on pace for 23.
Cooper was namedthe AFC’s Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday,aweek afterBonitto earned the honor.
“It’sjust motivating me to do more,” Cooper said. Cooper and Bonitto are the first Broncos to win the league’s weekly defensive award back to back.
“I’m just trying to beat him. Ican’tlet him take over me. I should be out there with sacks with him right now,” said Cooper,who has 41/2 sacks. “But no, Ithink it’sreally cool.That’s my brother “I shout him outevery time I get achanceto. Yeah, he’sone of the best football players I’ve ever played with.
“He doesitone week, I’ve got to make sure I’mright there with him, you know?” The Broncos held the Jets to minus-10 yards passing Sunday in agritty 13-11 win in London, where they allowed quarterback Justin Fields to complete just nine passes and sackedhim nine times, the second-highest one-game total in franchisehistory In an earlier game, theBroncos gave Eagles quarterback an average of 3.2 secondstothrow and sacked him six times. Cooper is eager to see what Denver’sdefense can do Sunday when it faces Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
“Yeah, Imean, he’sa young guy.He’sfeeling himself a littlebit. He’sout there running around, he’sgot the chain on,he’sdancing,” Cooper said “You know,looks like everybody needs something. But we went againstQBs who have run around the pocket and everything, try to do stuff with their legs. “So, it ain’tnothing we haven’t seen.”

Bearsfeastingonturnovers
Chicagodefense rankssecondinNFL with 12 takeaways
BY LUKE JOHNSON and MATTHEW PARAS Staff writers
On the surface,the Chicago Bears defense that the Saintswill face this weekend hasstruggled in many ways.
Through its first five games, Chicago ranks 27th in theNFL in scoring(28.2 pointsper game) andtotal defense (369.4 yards per game). Itsrun defense is next to last inthe league, yielding 156.4 yards per gameonthe ground.
But there isone aspect of what the Bears aredoing under coordinator DennisAllen —the former Saints coach —thathas theSaints’ attention.
“Theturnoverthing is real,” Saintscoach Kellen Moore said.
TheBears have forced12turnovers infive games, eight of which are interceptions. Both of those figures ranksecondinthe NFL behind the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Veteransafety Kevin Byard leads the Bears and is in athree-way tie forsecondinthe NFL with three interceptions.
“We’ve gottorespect them, and we’ve got to be on ourA-game protecting theball,” quarterback Spencer Rattler said. “That’sthe main focusthisweek,especially playing theseguys.”
Despite their 1-5 record,the Saints havebeen one of the NFL’s betterteamsatavoiding turnovers. New Orleans has committedonly four turnovers through its first sixgames, tied with Chi-

But adversity,it’sthe quarterbackposition, it’swhat comes with thejob. You’ve got to deal withit andmove ontothe next.”
Their paths from that dayin Oklahoma presentedboth with challenges. Ever since Williamswon the

Butthe Bearshave found away to create turnovers.OnMonday night against the Washington Commanders,Chicago forced three turnovers against ateam that hadturneditoverthreetimes in its first five games combined. It was thethird straight game theBearsforced threeormore turnovers.
“It seems like every year there are acouple of these teams just making them happeneachand every week,and they’reonthat trendline,” Moore said. “They’re doing agreat job of attacking the football.”
Kamara misses practice
Alvin Kamara played in Sunday’s gameagainst thePatriots, despite being questionable withanankle injury.Days later, the running back missed practice.
Kamara was absent from Wednesday’ssession with an ankle injury,Moore said. Kamara was oneoftwo Saints to sitout with injuries, joiningcornerback Isaac Yiadom (hamstring). Kamara had10carries for only 31 yards against thePatriots.He told reporters last week thathe suffered theinjuryagainstthe New York Giants, which he said required him to ice it.
Heisman, it feltlike aforegone conclusion that he would go No. 1whenever he entered the draft. That hype comes with pressure to perform, and Williams did not always deliver as arookie in a citythat is perennially starved for good quarterback play ForRattler,a couple of years of good but notspectacularfootball at South Carolina resulted in him lasting until Day 3ofthe draft.He entered theNFL as abackup with intriguing potential.Ifitwasn’tfor DerekCarr’ssurprisingretirement thatmight still be what he is. Even after Carr’sretirement, theSaints drafted Tyler Shough in thesecondround, andRattler had to beat Shough to earn thestarting job The path matters, and notjust from anarrative standpoint. The Bears are committed to building around Williams as afranchise cornerstone, treatment thatcomes with thedraftinvestment. As aDay 3draft selection leading a1-5 team, the barismuchhigherfor Rattler to get the same consideration.
NBA memo to all30teams targetspoor fanbehavior
The NBA has reminded teams to prioritize addressing inappropriate fan behavior at games this season.
In amemo sent to all 30 clubs, the league told teams thatitwants“consistent and vigilant enforcement of theNBA Fan Code of Conduct to deter andaddress fan misconduct at NBA games and events.”
Amongthe notable incidents in theNBA last season: some fans in Dallas were ejected for their reactions in the days followingthe team’s decision to trade longtime Mavericks star Luka Doncic to the Los AngelesLakers, andthe Minnesota Timberwolves ejected afan fromaplayoffgame forracially charged comments directed toward Golden State’sDraymond Green.

“I feel good,” Kamara said. “Just something in the game that Ithought wasn’tthatserious really,and really it’snot that serious really,but just alittle soreness. I waslike,‘Let me go put some ice on it.’ It’ll be all right.”
Moore saidKamara’sinjury did not getworseand that Wednesday’sday off wasrequired “maintenance.”
Kamara’sabsence comes after he reportedlyinformed the Saints he would like to remain with the franchise amid other teamsexpressing interest in trading for him. The NFL Network reported overthe weekendthatgeneral manager Mickey Loomis went to Kamaraafter teamscalled about his availability
Moore’sroleintrades
Moore said Wednesdaythathe’d mostly let Loomis handle trade decisions.
“I’m going to allow Mickey to roll withthat and I’ll defer to him in alot of those situations,” Mooresaid. “Certainly we’ll have conversations as we go, but we love thisgroup, it’s abunch of really good people, we’vegot the right people in the room,welove these guys and we wantthem to be successful here, first and foremost.”
At 1-5, the Saints face long odds of fielding ateam that can makea push for the postseason this year (the 2020 Commanders were the last to do it).
Butwhatalsomatters is the opportunity.While Williams will have alonger runway,Rattler has converted some doubters with his play this season. He has compiled modest statistics through six weeks, throwing six touchdown passes, averaging 202.8 yards passing per game and posting a91.5 passer rating, all below league average forstarting quarterbacks. But Rattler has avoidedcostly mistakes —his 0.5% interception rate and5.1% sack rate both rank among league leaders —and he’spositioned arebuilding Saints team to be competitive late in four of the five losses. Awin Sunday against the Bears with Williams on theothersideline may convert afew more doubters, even if Rattler isn’t willing to place any added significance on the whoand why.
“Weall have our own paths, and we’ve got to do our best with our own paths,” Rattlersaid. “The pastisthe past, and I’m focused on the presentand the future.”
The 36-year-old Westbrook is enteringhis 18th seasoninthe league He’sthe all-timeleader with 203 triple-doubles and ranks 20th in NBAhistory with 26,205 pointsand eighth with 9,925 assists. He holds career averages of 21.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 8.0assists.
The nine-time All-Starbegan his career with Oklahoma City and teamed with Kevin Durant to help the Thunder becomealeague power.After Durant left to join the Golden State Warriors, Westbrook was named the league MVP the following season —the first of his threestraight averaging atripledouble.

McMahon says no extra urgency to get to Big Dance
LSU basketball coach ‘all in’ on team’s success with overhauled roster
BY TOYLOY BROWN III Staff writer
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Making the NCAA Tournament has eluded LSU coach Matt McMahon for three straight seasons
The fourth-year coach said that playing and winning games in the biggest postseason tournament in college basketball always will be a non-negotiable for the program. When asked whether he feels an additional sense of urgency to get the Tigers back on that stage for the first time since the 2021-22 season, he said no.
Having seriousness in everything he does as a coach is his default approach, regardless of how successful the prior season was.
“I have urgency every single day I’ve ever coached,” McMahon told The Advocate at SEC media day on Wednesday at the Grand Bohemian Hotel Mountain Brook. “That’s never changed That’s never wavered.” Molding a team with 11 new players into a success is an opportunity he’s excited to have with a roster he loves. Rather than focusing on his job security after lackluster results in prior years, McMahon is excited about the team he has in front of him.
“My job is to make an impact on our players and ultimately win games,” he said. “I will continue to put my focus on the things that I can control and the things as a program we can control. And I’m going to enjoy the hell out of getting to coach our team.
“I get an opportunity to build this team essentially from scratch and max it out, become the very best we can be. I’m all in on that, and I believe in it with all of my heart that we’re going to have a successful year That’s the bottom line of everything that we’re trying to accomplish.” Making the NCAA Tournament is also Jalen Reed’s personal mission. The redshirt junior, who is coming off of a torn ACL, is also desperate to fulfill the NCAA Tour-

Johnson sat down with LSU coach Kim Mulkey then and told her that she wanted to take on more on-court responsibilities.
“I want to be a playmaker,” Johnson said. “So we had that conversation, and I feel like she’s seen that work match up to what I said. Like, I’ve been playing so well. Even in the scrimmages, just really like distributing the ball, rebounding in all facets of the game because that’s what I want to show for the scouts in the WNBA.” Johnson also said she feels “nervous” when she thinks about her future She could choose her college team, she said. But she can’t decide where she will play professional basketball, or even if the WNBA and its players strike a new collective bargaining agreement by the time her career starts.
Both parties are in active negotiations so far, a contentious process that could lead to a work stoppage The current WBNA CBA

the most in any contest outside of the Southeastern Louisiana game. The Tigers averaged a healthy 6.7 yards per play, and the passing game thrived in part because of that balance. When LSU struggled Saturday, it had little to do with the run game or down-to-down efficiency The Tigers turned the ball over twice at the goal line and scored just three points on three trips to the 1-yard line.
“In our blue zone 5 yards going in, 10 yards going in — that clearly has to be much better,” Kelly said. “So we know the errors that we need to improve on, they’re all very much within our grasp of doing so.”
Improving the run game was an emphasis for the Tigers during their off week, especially when it came to their offensive line. Kelly told the SEC Network before Sat-
nament goal.
“I just want to see coach do well and get what he deserves because he’s such a real person,” Reed said. Reed, who was McMahon’s first LSU recruit in 2022, wasn’t the only player present who felt that way UNLV transfer point guard
Dedan Thomas has known McMahon for only a few months, but he is a believer that the fourth-year coach is more than capable of getting this team to March Madness.
“Great coach, definitely knows what he’s talking about, definitely has gotten me a lot better since I’ve been here,” the junior said.
“He definitely deserves to be in the tournament and, I mean, we’re gonna get him there this year.”
For the second consecutive season, LSU is expected to be among the bottom three teams in the Southeastern Conference The Tigers were predicted to finish 15th this season in the preseason media poll. Last season, it was voted 14th and finished 15th in the standings with a 3-15 SEC record.
McMahon said he doesn’t look at predictions and doesn’t feel a need to use them as motivation for his group.
“I think it’s almost impossible to do preseason rankings now be-

“I’ve never been in a place where it’s been so unknown,” Johnson said.
Mulkey said when LSU began preseason practices that she wanted her star guard to “put it all together” and embrace more of a leadership role In games, she doesn’t want her to dwell on, say, poor officiating or her own poor performance.
Johnson was the first high-profile recruit to choose LSU during Mulkey’s tenure. Now her career is winding down.
“This is it,” Mulkey said. “I think she’s always been reluctant to be a leader of teammates because she wants them to like her She never felt comfortable doing it because she always had the great older player in that locker room. Now you are that older player You’re the senior You’ve been here. You know the ropes. So, go lead your basketball team.”
When Johnson started her career LSU was beginning its second season under Mulkey. It had won only one NCAA Tournament game under Mulkey at the time, and it was ranked 16th in the AP
urday’s game that his offensive line needed to work on pushing out, instead of up, with their run blocks.
“We come off the ball, we want to fire out instead of firing up which is what Brian Kelly has been talking about,” SEC sideline reporter Cole Cubelic said and demonstrated during the first quarter of Saturday’s game. “When you come up, that loses leverage. You’re not able to get a push, you’re not able to get a drive on those defenders.”
Kelly noticed an improvement in LSU’s technique on the line, noting how the Tigers “ran off the ball for the first time.” Kelly has said on multiple occasions that LSU’s technique upfront has needed improvement.
“Where we’ve got to get better is technically; our guys are playing hard,” Kelly said prior to LSU’s matchup with Southeastern Louisiana. “They are locked in We’ve got to be better in terms of technical.”
Besides improving its technique, LSU also mixed formations in the run game The Tigers handed the
Fulwiley details how she ended up at LSU
BY REED DARCEY and TOYLOY BROWN III Staff writers
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — MiLaysia Fulwiley on Wednesday detailed her decision to transfer from South Carolina to LSU when the SEC held its annual basketball media days.
Fulwiley, a junior guard from Columbia, South Carolina, said she did not want to leave the SEC when she decided in April to enter the transfer portal and sign with the Tigers — one of her hometown program’s chief rivals. She still wanted to compete for a national championship, she said, and play for a “great coach.”
“So I think I kind of just thought about those type of things,” Fulwiley said, “and that’s when I went in the direction of LSU, and I was like ‘Yeah, it’s a great fit for me.’ I had to make sure the style of play was for me.”
cause essentially every team is new every year,” he said. “A lot of those rankings are maybe based on what happened a year ago.”
LSU is one of six teams in the conference not to have a player named to any of the three preseason AllSEC teams. Omaha transfer Marquel Sutton, who was the 2025 Summit League Player of the Year, said that doesn’t bother him.
“You kind of knew, coming into a team where it’s all new players, no one votes for you or whatever and it’s kind of for the media and the fans,” the fifth-year senior said.
“So I don’t really got a problem with it. We’re just gonna have to go out there and prove them wrong.”
McMahon said that as cliché as it sounds, the program is focused on what it can control not on outside expectations.
What the Tigers can control is their preparation for a season “to put a product on the floor that is going to be able to compete and win in the best league in college basketball.”
“The first opportunity this spring, we were able to go out and get some of those type (of) players that I think can do it,” McMahon said. “So it’s nothing but excitement and appreciation for the opportunity ahead.”
preseason poll.
The Tigers since have won 12 NCAA Tournament contests, and now they’re beginning the fifth year of Mulkey’s tenure as the nation’s No. 5 team LSU has the nation’s top-ranked freshman class for the second time in three years, as well as two coveted transfers — former South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley and ex-Notre Dame center Kate Koval.
Voters in the SEC preseason poll said the Tigers will finish third in the league behind only No. 2 South Carolina and No. 4 Texas. They also gave Johnson a firstteam preseason All-SEC nod while also voting Williams onto the second team.
Both players can lead LSU back to the Final Four For Johnson, the WNBA will come calling again whether the Tigers get there or not.
This time, she won’t have a choice but to go.
“It’s always a goal of mine to be the No. 1 pick,” Johnson said, “so I feel like if I work hard, and I put in the work, then I could be in consideration for that when it’s all said and done.”
Fulwiley’s decision was one of the most intriguing moves of the 2025 transfer cycle. So how did the transfer process play out?
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley told “The Breakfast Club” radio show in May that she wasn’t surprised Fulwiley decided to transfer The junior guard and her mother, Staley said, sat down in her office and said she thought she wanted to transfer Staley then asked Fulwiley if she thought she wanted to transfer or if she knew When Fulwiley said she knew Staley told her that she “only wants her (to be) happy.” Fulwiley knew where she wanted to go. She didn’t even visit the Tigers before she announced her commitment on April 25.
Coach Kim Mulkey told Baton Rouge personal injury attorney Gordon McKernan on his podcast in May that Fulwiley “pretty much had her mind made up.” The two parties, Mulkey said, spoke only one time before Fulwiley committed.
Mulkey has said she’s “challenging” Fulwiley to play point guard this season while still giving her opportunities to play on the wing as well. The 5-foot10 transfer spent time playing both roles in the two years she spent with the Gamecocks, who brought her off the bench. As both a freshman and a sophomore, Fulwiley scored 11.7 points per game in the 18 minutes she played, on average, each night. Her responsibilities could broaden at LSU under the direction of Mulkey
“(Mulkey) told me that when I came here, I was gonna love it,” Fulwiley said, “and it hasn’t been anything different since I’ve been there. I mean, it’s a great program. She makes me feel at home. She reminds me what she brought me here for and what areas she’s gonna help me in, and that’s been working out.”
Reed talks injury
Jalen Reed, the longest-tenured player on the LSU men’s basketball team, is fully back to 5-on-5 action, he said Wednesday The forward plans on playing a few minutes in a closed scrimmage the team will have this weekend and is expecting to play in the Tigers’ exhibition game against Central Florida on Oct. 26 at Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida.
Coach Matt McMahon said Reed is two months ahead of schedule
WHIT WEEKS QUESTIONABLE VS. VANDERBILT
LSU junior linebacker Whit Weeks has been listed as questionable ahead of Saturday’s matchup atVanderbilt,according toWednesday’s SEC availability report.
Weeks’ inclusion comes as a surprise after the star linebacker played 61 snaps last week against South Carolina, according to Pro Football Focus.
LSU coach Brian Kelly did note on Monday that Weeks was experiencing soreness as a result of the ankle injury he suffered against Baylor in the Texas Bowl last season.
LSU also listed fifth-year senior edge rusher Jimari Butler as questionable. Butler left the South Carolina game early because of an ankle injury, but Kelly noted Monday that the ailment is not a high-ankle sprain.
Redshirt junior wide receiver Aaron Anderson and redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Paul Mubenga were listed as probable. But starting fifth-year senior defensive tackle Bernard Gooden, who left Saturday’s game early with a collarbone injury, was listed as doubtful.
Kelly said Monday that Gooden had a bruised collarbone, and though it wasn’t broken, he noted that the South Florida transfer was “very sore right now. Koki Riley
ball off to a running back from under center five times against South Carolina. They also executed a wildcat run with Johnson receiving the shotgun snap in the first quarter A lack of creativity hasn’t been
a major issue for the Tigers’ rushing attack, given how often they’ve handed the ball off to wide receivers. But offensive coordinator Joe Sloan’s decision to run the ball under center more often was a change from what defenses saw
in his 12-month recovery process from the torn ACL he suffered on Dec. 4 against Florida State.
“Been an inspiration watching how he’s committed to the work to get back not only to the floor but the growth from a mindset and leadership standpoint,” McMahon said. “I really think he’ll have a monster year for us. Really proud to have an opportunity to coach him.”
The redshirt junior’s season ended with him averaging 11.1 points on 60.4% shooting and 6.5 rebounds per game.
Reed is one of two returnees for LSU, along with sophomore forward Robert Miller and said the decision to stay at LSU was based on how much he’s loved his experience thus far
“I just love being at LSU. I love how Mac has really invested in me all four years and trusting me and welcome me back every year,” Reed said. “I just feel I’m a loyal person, and it’s rare to see nowadays, but they hadn’t given me a reason to leave. And again, I trust them. Coach McMahon and his plan for me.”
Johnson playing post
The LSU women are listing ZaKiyah Johnson as a guard, but she worked on the low block in the Tigers’ first practice of the preseason.
Johnson a 6-foot freshman from Kentucky who enrolled at LSU as one of the 15 best recruits in the country — is beginning her career as a post player Mulkey said Wednesday that Johnson hasn’t had to adapt to that position because she’s played it before.
“I need to get her on the floor,” Mulkey said. “The best way to do that is give her minutes at the four.”
Every post player from the team that LSU fielded last season either exhausted her eligibility or entered the transfer portal. The roster churn forced the No. 5 Tigers to build a brand-new frontcourt. The new-look group now features three freshmen and two transfers.
Kate Koval, a 6-5 sophomore from Notre Dame, is on track to start at center. East Carolina transfer Amiya Joyner could slot in with the starters alongside her, but she must first fend off Johnson and her fellow freshman Grace Knox, the seventh-best recruit in the Class of 2025, according to ESPN.

from LSU through the first five weeks of the season.
“I think it’s just been an evolution,” Kelly said Monday when asked about LSU’s uptick in undercenter runs. “I think it starts with getting off the ball. I think it starts with aiming points for our offensive line.”
The question that remains is whether LSU can sustain this level of success on the ground this weekend at Vanderbilt, next week against Texas A&M or at Alabama after the Tigers’ final off week.
For LSU to have an efficient attack, that will be a necessity
“We need to have a running game that keeps you honest, that you can’t put five guys in the box and cover down with seven others,” Kelly said the Monday prior to LSU’s win over South Carolina. “... We’ve got to be able to run the ball efficiently When you give us that look, if you want to play two high safety and give us fair numbers (in the box), we’ve got to be efficient in running the football.”

AFCNorth rivalry takesontouch of gray
BY JOE REEDY Associated Press
Joe Flacco wasasked duringthe preseason about continuing to play at 40 years old.
However,Flacco is a youngster compared to his counterpart, 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers. Thursday night’smatchup betweenthe Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengalswillmarkonlythe third regular-season game between 40-year-old starting quarterbacks.
New Orleans’ Drew Brees won both regular-season games against Tampa Bay and TomBrady in 2020.But Brady sent Brees into retirementwhen the Buccaneers beat the Saints in an NFC divisional round game.
“Yeah, it’sone thing you guys can’t talk aboutthis week in terms of me being older,atleast, but it’spretty neat,” Flacco said. “I’ve been in alocker room my whole life, so, you know,age isn’tsomething that Ithink about. Ijust view myself as one of those 20-somethingyear-olds in the locker room. So, it’snot something Ireally think about, but Ithink one day,when you look back on it, it’sjust one of those thingsthat’ll be pretty cool to be able to have amatchup like this.”
At the beginning of the season, Flacco thought this matchupwould happen when the Browns faced the Steelers last Sunday.Flacco was replaced as Cleveland’s starterafter four gamesand then traded to Cincinnati last Tuesday,which stunned most people, including Steel-

ers coach MikeTomlin
With Bengals quarterback Joe Burrowsidelined untilatleast mid-December after toe surgery on Sept. 19, many expected them to make amove afterJake Browning was ineffective in histhree starts. Few expected it to comefrom adivision rival.
“(Brownsgeneral manager) Andrew Berry must be alot smarter thanme or us, because it doesn’t make sensetometotrade a quarterback that you think enoughof to make your opening day starter to adivision opponent that’s hurting in that area. Butthat’sjust my personal feelings,”Tomlin said on Monday
This will be the fourth matchup between Rodgers and Flacco. Rodgers has won the previousthree
“I think it’sgreat for allthe old guys. Iknow that when I watch other sports, maybe it’s because I’m the older guy,but Itend to pull for the older guys to win,” Rodgers said. “I’ve known Joe for a long time. He’sbeen great comingto my charity event. He’shad agreat career,and it’sfun that we’rebothstill playing.”
Rodgers hashelpedlead the Steelers to a4-1 start and
first place in theAFC North He is secondinthe AFC with a105.4 passer rating, along with 10 touchdowns and only three interceptions.
Akey to Rodgers’ success this season is that his average time to throw is 2.57 seconds, second quickest in theleague and his quickest since at least2016. He has completed81.1% of his attempts on passes under2.5 seconds andisaveraging8.2 yardsper attempt,which is second best
He will be facing aBengals defense that allows a league-high 7.7 yards per attempt on quick passes and eight touchdowns, second most.
Flacco hasn’t hadmuch practice time with the Bengals, but he has developed a quick rapport withstarreceivers Ja’Marr Chase and TeeHiggins.Hepassed for 219 yards and two touchdowns againstthe Packers in his Cincinnati debut, but mostofthat cameinthe second half after Cincinnati fell behind 10-0 at halftime.
Flacco and the Bengals (2-4) will try to snap afourgamelosing streak and stay within striking distance of the Steelers. Flacco has faced the Steelers 25 times in his career,including the playoffs, with24starts.
“He knows their styleof play.Heknows their level of aggression on defense and played against mostoftheir guys over there,” coach Zac Taylor said.
“Obviously, he’s played them more than anybody hasinthis league that is currently playing, so Ithink he’sgot agreat sense of what it takes to win.”

It would have been the best 19thbirthday celebration ever if the 29-foot shot as time expired had swished through thenets. Instead, Jeremiah Fears’ shot clanged off the back of the rim, one of the few things that didn’t go his way in Tuesday night’s 130-128 preseason loss tothe Houston Rockets.
Butfor the Pelicans’ rookie guard, it was another leap in the right direction.
Just three preseason games in, Fears is showing just how quickly he is growing. His numbers have steadily improved from his first two games in Australia to Tuesday’s gameinBirmingham, Alabamaagainst theRockets.
ASHBURN, Va This week has been abit of anovelty for Jayden Daniels. For perhaps the first time in his NFL career,the Washington Commanders lost and abig part of it was his fault. Daniels has had off days before, but this last defeat was different. Facing third-and-1 late in the fourth quarter Monday night, Washington was a couple first downs away from potentially running out the clock when Daniels fumbled on ahandoff.That gave the Chicago Bears the ball near midfield, they drove for the winning field goal, and Danielshas had to face one of the less enjoyable aspects of playing quarterback —taking ownership in defeat.
“I mean, that’swhat a quarterbackdoes,”hesaid. “But it was on me. So Itake accountability.” After adazzlingrookie season in which Daniels led Washington to its first NFC
championship game inover 30 years, there were plenty of questionsabout whether he would regress abit in year two. There hasn’tbeen much evidence of that. In thefourgames he’s been healthy enough to play, Daniels hasa98.7passer rating —awfully similar to lastseason’s100.1 —and he also continues to impact the game with his legs.
The interception he threwearly in Monday’s game washis first of the season. The key fumble at the end? It was the first he’d lost in his NFL career
Still, you don’thave to look too far to find someone suggesting Drake Maye haspassedhim as the top quarterbackfromthat draft class. Andwiththe Commanders sporting a 3-3record,there will be some scrutiny on Daniels at Dallas this weekend, when Washington may need toscore alot to win.
“Wefeel we can put up points, but we just got to be betterwith the details andexecution,” Daniels said.“So we don’thave slow starts.”
TheCommanders have been outscored 36-14 inthe first quarter this season. Daniels has maintained
good production despite alot of upheaval in the receiving corps, which continuedWednesday when theCommandersput Noah Brown(knee, groin) on injured reserve after he’d missedthe past four games
“Last week we worked Noah Brown back into practice, andunfortunatelyhis groin didn’trespond,”coach Dan Quinn said.
“The aim is to get Noah fully right.He’ssuch a tough competitor,and it’s the right call right nowto get him into that spot. Let’s gethim allthe waybackand ready.”
On amoreoptimistic note for Washington, receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) could potentially return this weekend aftermissingthe lastthree games. He waslistedaslimited at practice Wednesday
“He’ll practice this week,” Quinn said. “Today is going to be more at ajog-through pace wherewe’re not fully speed, up and going. That’ll be more as we get into tomorrow.
“I’llhave abetterassessment after we go through some full-speedroutesand movements to see where he’sat. But I’mexcited wherehe’strending.”
In his first game two weeks ago against Melbourne United, Fears shot adismal 3of15from the floor (0 for 6on3-pointers) and finished with seven points. In the second gameagainst SouthEast Melbourne Phoenix,Fears played better,knocking down 5of10shotsand finishing with12points. Buthesaved his best for Tuesday in his first game against an NBA opponent.
Fears finishedwith a game-high 20 points to go with six rebounds, four assists and twosteals. He made eight of the 15 shots he took, scoring 14 of his points in the final five minutes to help the Pels erasea 15-point deficit and almost pull out what would have been an amazing comeback.
“If you look from the first preseason gameto now,Ifeel like I’ve done a great job just continuing to get better each game,” Fearssaid.
It’sjust thepreseason, so it’snot time to anoint Fears thefuture face of the franchise just yet.But we can dub him thebaby face of the franchise for now He’syoung, but potential is there for him to be special Youcan see the“it”factor and a“want-to” that you like to see in aplayer who should be entering his first year of college.

There’sstill plenty of room forimprovement. He had three turnovers in the game. But when it came downthe stretch, he stepped up big. Both teams had pulled their starters by then, but Fears showed what he can do in clutch moments.
“Just helping the team in any way possible,” Fears said. “Sometimes we might have astretch where we’re not playing the greatest. Being in the point guard position, you’ve got to talk to the team and tell them we haven’thad areally good stretch these last three minutes so let’stry to execute plays and get somegood shots. And just continuing to be the coach on the floor.”
During the final five minutes, Fears converted on two three-point plays, knocked downapair of 3-pointers and drained a

“His pace is high the whole game,”Zion Williamson said. “In the fourth quarter,hewas able to find arhythm and pickhis spots and it definitely carried us in the fourthquarter.”
Although his potential game-winner didn’tfall, Fears was pleased with how he played.
“The mainthing forme was just going out there competing until it says zero on the clock,” Fears said. “Just going out there and giving it everything I had until the buzzer rang. Being able to take that shot was super dope, especially on my birthday.Being able to take the NBAfloor for the first timewas super dope as well.” Fears and the Pelicans get their final preseason tune-up Thursday night on the road against the Orlando Magic.
“Itmeans the world to me,” Fears said. “I’ve been watching the NBAfor a long time. I’mfinally being able to step in here and show what I’mcapable of.” Email Rod Walker at rwalker@theadvocate.com.
Dodgers’ starters have dominatedBrewers in NLCS
Glasnow, Ohtani will look to continue trend
BYBETH HARRIS AP sportswriter
LOS ANGELES DaveRoberts has found away around the Los Angeles Dodgers’ struggling relievers. Barely use ‘em. The defending World Series champions haverelied on their starting pitching to take acommanding 2-0 lead against the Milwaukee Brewers in their best-ofsevenNLChampionship Series.
Two-time Cy Young Awardwinner Blake Snell tossed eightscore-
less innings to go with10strikeouts before rookie RokiSasaki and Blake Treinen tamped down alateBrewers rally in closing out Game 1.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto tosseda three-hitter in the first postseason complete game by aDodgers pitcher sinceJoseLimathrewa five-hit shutout in the2004NLDivision Seriesagainst St. Louis in Game 2.
“I’ll take as manyaswecan get,” Robertssaid, laughing when asked how many complete games his staff can deliver.“They’re doing their part by attacking, being efficientand putting themselves in a position to do that.”
ä Brewers at Dodgers. 5:05 P.M.THURSDAy,TBS
Snelland Yamamoto combined to allowone run on four hitsover17 of 18 innings in Milwaukee. Now,here come TylerGlasnow and Shohei Ohtani. Glasnow starts Game 3atDodger Stadium on Thursday.Ohtaniis set to go in Game 4onFriday The Dodges’ rotation struggled earlierinthe season with injuries and slumps, but it’sclicking now “It’sperfect timing,” Glasnow said Wednesday.“The vibe is reallygoodinthe clubhouse. Everyone is feeling great. It’sjust agood
time to get hot, forsure.” Glasnow allowed two hits over six scoreless innings in Game 4 of theNLDS against Philadelphia, when the Dodgers finishedoff the best-of-five series.
The Dodgers have carefully managed Ohtani’sinnings this season —his first pitching since he had asecond elbow surgery in December 2023 when he was with theLos Angeles Angels. The righthander twicepitched into theseventh in the regular season. “The century mark isn’tlike a ceiling on pitches. Yeah, Ithink it’s just kind of contingent on how he’sthrowing,”Roberts said. “He’swaited forthis moment, and
Ithink with the rest thathe’sgot going into that game, he’sgoing to be ready to go.”
Ohtani wasimpressed with Snell and Yamamoto pitchingdeep into theirstarts andhe’seager to do the same.
“Thatwould be great,” he said through atranslator.“But my number one priority is making sure I’m putting up zerosnomatterwhat and making sure we’re the team that scores first.”
The Brewers have lost their last nine road playoff games since 2018, and will need to win at least twoofthe next three games in Los Angeles to force the series back to Wisconsin.

Chalmette trending up with talented QB, strong LB play
Owls open district play Friday against Northshore
BY SPENCER URQUHART
Staff writer
As a first-year starter Breez
Wilson brought stability to the Chalmette quarterback position last season.
Wilson led the Owls to a district title and a trip to the Division I nonselect quarterfinals as Chalmette made its deepest playoff run in more than 50 years. Now a junior, Wilson has helped Chalmette’s offense continue to thrive.
Wilson accounted for four touchdowns in Friday’s 49-7 win against Ponchatoula, which included an early 80-yard touchdown pass to Reshawn Bangham as Chalmette moved to 4-2.
“Just trying to stay focused and keep winning,” Wilson said. “That (touchdown pass) helped set the tone. It was just, ‘go up and get it, Rashawn.’ It felt good with the crowd getting wild. We grow every week and put the work in.
Seniors Bangham and Dana Antoine have been Wilson’s top targets He said Chalmette offensive coordinator Kyle Walker has given him added responsibility this season.
Wilson finished with 153 yards passing and three touchdowns against Ponchatoula and added 35 yards rushing and another score.
Chalmette’s skill group features several first-year starters, but that hasn’t slowed the offense.
“The continuity with Breez and the wide receivers has really shown on Fridays,” coach Jason Tucker said. “We weren’t returning a lot of guys that played last year besides Dana. We had to figure out what they could do better and call plays based on what they do the best, so it was a little juggling act.”
Junior Russell Banks and senior Marion White have been Chalmette’s leading rushers this season The Owls (4-2) have averaged more than 30 points per game the past two weeks and were able to avenge losses to Pearl River and Ponchatoula.
Linebackers Tyray Darensburg and David Gonzalez have been among Chalmette’s top defensive players Darensburg, a South Ala-

said this will cost you. If we have big goals, you can’t do this because we’ll lose games.”
The Wave was particularly sloppy in last Thursday’s 26-19 win against East Carolina, and it wasn’t just the third game of double-digit penalties this season (11 for 96 yards) after no such outings last season. Sumrall pointed to a 49-yard completion that cornerback LJ Green allowed on the fourth play of the second half after Sumrall had told his players the Pirates would try to throw over the top coming out of the break. He mentioned the pooch kick East Carolina recovered at the Tulane 31 later in the third quarter after he told his team to be ready for a surprise kickoff.
“It’s not like it’s constant immaturity,” Sumrall said. “It’s a different guy raising their hand to do something that’s not coached We have to get the guys to understand if we tell them something, it’s usually for a good reason. They will respond. They are coachable.”
Tulane is a lowly 64th in ESPN. com writer Bill Connelly’s SP+ formula, a predictive ranking designed to reflect future performance rather than current resume. No. 24 Memphis (6-0, 2-0), No. 47 South Florida (5-1, 2-0) — both ranked in the Top 25 of The Associated Press poll and No. 53 Navy (6-0, 4-0) are higher along with North Texas (No 52) and non-contending Texas-San Antonio (No. 61), which already has two league losses. Likely holding the Wave back in Connelly’s calculations are a series of shaky stretches. Tulane scored three points in the second half of a 23-3 victory against Northwestern. It allowed South Alabama, now 1-6, to score the first 14 points and the final 14 points in a 33-31 escape. It flirted
bama commitment, had 18 tack-
les and a forced fumble in a 20-6 win over Pearl River
Darensburg, a senior had 125 tackles last year and now sees more attention from opponents, which has helped Gonzalez thrive.
A first-year junior starter, Gonzalez is now Chalmette’s leading tackler with multiple double-digit tackle games.
“(Opposing teams) are making sure that they block Tyray and seeing if David can make the play,” Tucker said. “He’s really stepped up and been able to make those plays.”
“Me and (Darensburg) got real close over the summer,” Gonzalez said. “I knew that my time was coming (this year) I feel like we’re very solid (on defense).”
Tucker said the defensive front is one of the best he’s coached in his 19 years at Chalmette.
Senior cornerback Darion McCray is among the top players in the secondary and described by Tucker as “one of the better manto-man guys we’ve had.”
Chalmette begins district play Friday at Northshore (2-4, 1-0), which is coming off a win against Salmen. Chalmette is looking to repeat as district champions after going 4-0 in league play last season.
“I think (Northshore) has been battle-tested,” Tucker said. “I know they’ll be well-coached, and it’s going to be a great Friday night atmosphere. I think our district is much better than it was last year, so it’s going to be a battle.”

with losing a 24-3 lead to Duke before pulling away again and holding on to win 34-27. It was blown out 45-10 by Ole Miss, whose other four most recent victories were by seven, six, five and three points. It was tied at 14-14 late in the second quarter at Tulsa before forcing a fumble in Wave territory that led to the go-ahead points in a 31-14 win. It squandered opportunity after opportunity near the goal line against East Carolina, then let a 12-0 halftime lead become a brief 16-12 fourth-quarter deficit.
Tulane faces only one of the three other undefeated teams in conference play, traveling to Memphis on Nov 7. The Tigers host all three, entertaining South Florida on Oct. 25 and Navy on Nov 27 to finish the regular season. Navy hosts South Florida on Nov 15 in between tough trips to Notre Dame and Memphis.
It remains to be seen which two teams reach the title game, but none can afford to slip up against the rest of the American. Navy needed a last-minute, 51-yard touchdown run from quarterback Blake Horvath and his subsequent two-point conversion pass last Saturday to hand Temple its first league loss, 32-31. South Florida eviscerated previously unbeaten North Texas with four touchdowns in less than a 3:30 span Friday Memphis has not been tested in a back-loaded conference schedule.
Despite Tulane’s up-and-down performance in the first half of the season, safety Jack Tchienchou believes the Wave is ready to roll.
“Everything that we want is right in front of us,” he said.
“We’ve put in the work that needs to be done, and we’re sitting right where we want to be. We haven’t played our best game yet That’s the craziest part about it because we are where we are and we haven’t put together a complete game. Once everything clicks, it’s going to be fun to watch.”
Smith powers Dominican volleyball past Mount Carmel
BY SPENCER URQUHART Staff writer
Dominican outside hitter Rani
Smith set the tone with a block in the first set of the rivalry “Pink Game” match against Mount Carmel on Wednesday which was her first of many
A junior, Smith finished with 10 blocks and 12 kills and was one of three Dominican players to record double-digit kills. The district match at Mount Carmel lasted four sets, with Dominican winning 2513, 27-25, 23-25, 25-17.
Mount Carmel was able to take the third set with junior Lila Franovich leading the way with five kills, but Dominican adjusted to take the fourth set to secure the match.
“We had to make some adjustments,” Dominican coach Jessica Chatellier said. “(Mount Carmel) did a really nice job of running the middle in the third set, and we didn’t really have any answers for their middle. We changed our defense around a bit, and we were able to see some success with that in the fourth set.”
Smith recorded six of her 10 blocks in the first set. She recorded three kills in the final set, including a strong spike that put Dominican up by five points.
“I really had to use my energy,” Smith said. “I’ve been preparing for this all week, and I think that I did everything that I needed to do to win. I knew who I was going up against and knew what I had to do.”
Dominican senior Molly Baker and sophomore Hazel Roots each had five blocks. Senior Mallie Mahoney led the way with 14 kills, and sophomore Hadley Bonifachich finished with 12 kills.
Junior Kaitlyn Byrd had nine kills for Dominican along with two blocks. Sophomore Aubrie Dalton had two aces, and Baker delivered six kills along with multiple assists.
“(Baker) does a great job of running our offense and changing things up,” Chatellier said “I think all of our hitters had a chance to contribute in this match, which makes it very hard for the other team to know where we’re going.”
Franovich led Mount Carmel with 14 kills along with two blocks.
Senior Annabelle La Bure finished with six kills and three aces, and juniors Gabrielle Locascio and Allie Steele finished with multiple blocks.
“(Dominican’s) defense played flawless, and we couldn’t stop Rani Smith,” Mount Carmel coach Tyler Ricaud said. “Just swinging hard and trying to move the ball around the block. We just fell short tonight.”
Dominican improved to 29-3 overall and 4-1 in district play and will next face Country Day on Wednesday Next up for Mount Carmel (27-3, 3-1) is a tournament that begins Friday

Miami Hurricanes hear hype, insist they aren’t listening
BY TIM REYNOLDS AP sportswriter
CORAL GABLES, Fla.
— They’re 5-0,
ranked No. 2 in the country, are the odds-on favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference, have been installed as a two-touchdown favorite to win this weekend and are a popular pick to win the national championship.
The Miami Hurricanes are hearing all that praise. They also heard different things not too long ago. And they remember, too.
Ignoring the hype — the “rat poison,” as former Alabama coach Nick Saban famously used to call lavish compliments from the outside — is easier than one might think, many Miami players said this week. The reason: Many of those lofting the praise now are the same ones who didn’t expect much from Miami coming into the season.
“I’ve been on championship teams, and I’ve been on teams that have been top five, No. 1 in the country, and it means literally nothing,” said Miami quarterback Carson Beck, who was part of two national title-winning teams at Georgia.
“What I try to communicate and get across to these guys is ‘these same people that are telling you you’re the best and good were telling you that we were going to go 8-4 and we were going to suck before the season. So, you’re going to listen to them now that they’re saying that you’re good?’” Beck said. “That’s the thing that doesn’t really faze me. Bro, just keep playing ball.”
This is the second straight season that Miami has started 5-0, and the eighth time the Hurricanes have gotten off to such a start in the last 25 seasons. The 2001 team the first one on that list — won the national championship. None of the other teams on the list got that job done.
Translation: A good September and October guarantees nothing. “We’re not here just to be good in September,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “We’ve got to get better in every way, get better every day, every phase This team is driven, this coaching staff is driven, and it’s about the work. The outside noise it stays outside.” Miami (5-0, 1-0 ACC) plays host to Louisville (4-1, 1-1) on Friday. The Hurricanes are big favorites,
even though the Cardinals are allowing a mere 262 yards per game — the stingiest total so far this season among ACC teams.
Hurricanes defensive standout Rueben Bain Jr is getting a double dose of the outside noise. Not only is he one of Miami’s best players, but he’s even being mentioned as a Heisman Trophy candidate by many onlookers.
“Honestly, I really don’t care about it. I’m just here to play football,” Bain said. “At the end of the day, I feel like everything’s a fluke. I’m just trying to play football and help my team win. I mean, sometimes it can get to you, but I just look back on it and I just kind of say eff it to all of it. I just play football. The big picture is for us to really win.”

Fresh red peppers are the star of this panzanella
BY BETH DOOLEY The Minnesota Star Tribune (TNS)
Panzanella, the classic Italian salad of sun-split tomatoes and crisped croutons flush with a bold vinaigrette, is the pinnacle of the late summer harvest
Recipe Harvest Panzanella 2D
And if we were in Tuscany, home of the original panzanella, and sipping chianti as the sun sinks into the hills that dish might include a whole lot more — roasted red peppers or roasted eggplant, or blanched green beans, perhaps tomatoes.
In Italy, panzanella simply means bread salad. Born of Italian thrift and creativity, it’s a delicious way to dispatch stale bread and what’s left in the garden. This recipe was inspired by a bounty of plump, almost too-ripe, red bell peppers from the farmers market. It showcases their sweet smoky nature when blistered under the broiler or on the grill, and it relies on a few slices of stale miche, baguette or ciabatta
Though some recipes recommend soaking the bread in water first, that step washes out its flavor and texture Lightly toasted dried-out bread has the best texture, crisped on the outside and

Home projects left half-done
Dear Annie: Iam67years old and have been marriedfor 43 yearstoaman who treats me well, has been afair father and has triedhis best to be agood husband. My problem is that although Iworked for 30 years as a registered nurse and contributed morethan half to our retirement (wehave avery comfortable retirement), my very old home is still not complete(we’ve lived here for 40 years).He refuses to allow me to hire ahandyman, and although he has done some work on the house, he tends to stop workinthe middle of the project. Iwould like to live in acomfortable, safe home for the remainder of my life. Icannot hiresomeone on my own …Hewould have afitthat could lastfor months, if not years. Iknow Ishould appreciate having ahome at all, but his uncaring attitude makes me feel like Iam not worthy to live in anice home. What should Ido?

able —and he should be able to see them that way, too, as long as you frame them the right way. Start by praising his skills and his willingness to take on house projects. Then, communicate your deadlines: “I need Xproject finished before guests come forChristmas;doyou wantto do that, or should Icall the handyman?” This way, your reliance on outside help is tied to logistics —not the quality of his work.
Dear Annie: My son, “Derek,” recently got engaged to awoman Ibarely know named “Monica.” They’ve been dating foralittle over ayear,and while she’salways polite, she’s also distant and doesn’t seem interested in getting to know our family.She rarely attends gatherings and when she does, she spends mostofthe timeon her phone or sitting quietly next to Derek.
Dear Living in Chaos: Your requestsare beyond reason-
What’sreally bothering me is that Derek seemsto be pullingaway,too. He used to callmeatleast once aweek,but nowIonly hear
from him if Ireach outfirst. WhenI try to ask aboutthe wedding or offer help, he givesshort answers or tells me they haven’tdecided anythingyet. I’mtryingnot to overstep, but it’s hard nottotakethis personally.I’m worried that I’mlosing my son andthat I’ll have no real relationship withhis futurewife.I don’t want to start theirmarriagewithtension,but I’m hurtand don’tknowhow to bridge thegap without pushing them away further —Left OutMom Dear LeftOut Mom: To get off on the right foot, you’ll need to give Monica the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she’sshy.Maybe she’s intimidated. Maybe she’s just not sure how to break the ice with your family Tell Derek that you really wanttoget to know your soon-to-be daughter-in-law Invite her out foramanicure or lunch. Sometimes, all it takes is forone person to initiate. From there, trust that your son will notice, and hopefully,he’ll begin to open up again, too.

Dear Heloise: It always frustrates me when Itry to get zest from a lemon or limebyusing a metal grater because much of the zest gets stuck between the teeth and stays

At firstglance, Southhas twounavoidable spade losers. He alsohas only 11 top tricks:onespade,sixhearts,onediamond andthreeclubs. Yes, the bidding tells declarer that East started with asingleton spade, but how does that help?
Declarer cashes hisdiamondace and heart queen. When thetrumps are 2-1, Southplays atrump to the dummy, ruffs the last diamond, unblocks his two club honors, returns to dummy with atrump, anddiscards aspade on the club queen.
Thencomes the taxing play: Declarer leads dummy’s lastclub, and when East followssuit,South does notruff; instead, he discards another spade. East is trapped. He has only diamonds left,and on thistrick, declarer sluffs his lastspade and ruffs on the board.

Packedwith powerhouse musicalnumbers, astory basedonreality and ahuge dose of show business, “Gypsy” is a gargantuan tale ofthe ultimate stage mother.Itall works together in this “musical fable” setto open Oct. 24 at Rivertown Theatersfor thePerforming Arts
Based on the memoriesoffamous entertainer (stripper)Gypsy Rose Lee, the show revolves around the “center of the universe” character ofher mother, Rose, awomen who bulldozes her daughters into show business “’causeI was born too soon and startedtoo late.”
With music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, “Gypsy” is heavyweight work. It’sloaded with such show-stoppers as “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” “Rose’s Turn”and “Some People”tothe charming “Small World,” “If Momma WasMarried” and “Together,Wherever We Go”tothe glorious “You Gotta Get aGimmick.”
Gary Rucker,who’staking the directing role for the show,saidthe time was right for Rivertown to tackle the behemoth after anot-quite-stellar gowith the show in 2013.
“I felt like we neverreally got afair crack at the show and it’skind of been in thebackofmymind for areally long time,” he said. “It just seemed like a really good idea and Iknewthis whole time Iwanted another crackatit. I’m glad Idid because my cast is just phenomenal so it reallyworkedout, timingwise.”
Putting the pieces togetherhelped
“Sometimes you’re just in an orbit with somepeople, like withsomeactors, and you’re like, ‘you know what they’d be good in —“Gypsy,”’ you know,”hesaid. “I know that we have abig enough theater communitythat kind offill out who else Ineeded.”
The starring role has attracted a pantheonofleading ladies,fromEthel Merman,Angela Lansbury,Bernadette Peters, Tyne Daly,Patti LuPone and most recently Audra McDonald, not to mentionBette Midler,Emelda Staunton andRosalind Russell. But theshow also featuresthe twodaughtersaswell.
Rucker tries to craft the showtoget the point across, even to the point of craftingaset thatreinforces the concept of aworld of “backstage” maneuvering the mother handles so well.
“It’sall about Momma Rose,and you knowthatactress always kind of runs awaywith it because it’ssuch ahigh performance,” he said, “but what bothersmeisthis is ashow about Louise growing up to be Gypsy Rose Lee and Ifeel likethat’s often so overshadowed to the point where Louiseiskind of this secondary character nobody cares about.SoI’m really trying to remind the audience of whose story this is and kind of likehow this kid survived to becomethis celebrity in the face of this,” he said,referring to Lee’sstintsinmore than adozen movies,amystery writer, aproducer and starring in severalproductions.
“Louise become this grown woman in the face of Rose’s chaos,” Ruckersaid.
“It’sbeen really interesting to watch the story unfold through that.”
Ruckersprinkles Lee’shistory throughout theshow so audiences will needtopay attention.
But the focus will be on thecast,
which will featureBelle Tudor as Louise, doubling as the choreographer.Michael John Smithisthe long-suffering Herbie and Lauren SmithisJune. The “babies” will be played by Juliette Banquer, Haven Dawson and Anna Grace DePaula.

“Taking on this new and highly original play presents a director with a unique set of challenges, unlike working with a well-established script,” he said. “We have built this new play’s world from scratch — there’s no proven staging, style or interpretation to fall back on.”
Having the playwright on hand has been a tool Vrazel has used.
“It has been a great pleasure to work with our resident award-winning playwright, Nur Wistrand, so exciting to be able to explore her new script under her guidance and extensive knowledge of Marie Laveau’s life and legend,” Vrazel said. “The play’s unconventional staging and special effects required the production team to adapt and at times simplify elements while holding fast to the playwright’s vision.
“It’s an exhilarating experience to not just direct a production but shape a script in real-time — and in the end help birth a theatrical work that will have a lasting legacy.”

From ‘Goddess’ to spy

Baker was the toast of Parisian nightlife entertainment and also worked as a spy for “Lá Resistance” but also continued her entertaining after the war around the globe until her death in 1975.
She also worked tirelessly for civil rights in the United States as well as other countries.
St. John brings the legend to life in a combination of song and spoken word. The show is at 7 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday Tickets start at $47 at the canteen at 945 Magazine St. Visit nationalww2museum.org.
