Rejection of most millages leaves impact

Experts: ‘No to all’ voter sentiment may have trickled down

This view near Port Sulphur on Friday looks west toward Barataria Bay. Louisiana wants a 94-mile ‘land bridge’ along its coast that would serve to not only rebuild wetlands that have been disappearing for a century, but also slow storm surge. But there are many complications and uncertainties.

State eyes 94-mile ‘land bridge’ along coast

But idea to rebuild wetlands filled with complications, uncertainties

Land bridges for Louisiana?

Staff writer

Deep in St. Bernard Parish, with newly restored marsh in the distance, Gov. Jeff Landry’s point man on coastal projects talked up his vision for addressing the state’s land loss crisis.

“It’s about building projects. We don’t need to study anything,” said Gordon Dove, the former Terrebonne Parish president and state legislator who chairs the state’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.

“If we have to study something, I ought to be run off, and a lot of other people ought to be run off.

We know what to build now, and we’re going to go in building projects.”

His comments were wellreceived by a friendly audience at the recent event in Delacroix, but they have met skepticism elsewhere — much like the strategy he wants to pursue.

Since it controversially canceled two unprecedented river diversion projects aimed at rebuilding lost wetlands, the Landry administration has been working out plans for alternatives.

Those plans are beginning to come into view,

LAND BRIDGES

A massive wave of rejection swept across Louisiana last Saturday. Proposals that would allow parishes to opt out of taxing business inventory, create new school districts and use teacher retirement funds for pay raises were all shot down, with much of the anger being directed at Gov. Jeff Landry and other state leaders.

However, Acadiana voters rejected more than just the five constitutional amendments that were on the ballot. Lost in the shuffle of backlash against state redistricting efforts was the failure of multiple parishwide and local ballot initiatives that provide pivotal funding for government services.

Voters in Lafayette and Evangeline parishes chose not to renew property millages that fund local library systems, with the Evangeline Parish initiative failing by only 72 votes out of 4,264 cast. Voters in Evangeline also rejected a millage renewal used for road and drainage improvements by a slightly wider margin.

Can anyone stop U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow from becoming Louisiana’s next senator?

That’s the key question that has emerged in the days after Louisiana’s Senate primaries.

Political experts say Letlow, RBaton Rouge, holds a dominant position after running first in the May Letlow 16 Republican primary with President Donald Trump’s powerful endorsement and eliminating Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, from the contest.

But state Treasurer John Fleming, who finished a distant second in the GOP primary, is not conceding the race to Letlow.

DOJ deletes releases on Jan. 6 rioters on website

WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice is acknowledging it has removed from its website news releases about criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, calling the information about the prosecutions “partisan propaganda.”

The purge of news releases documenting criminal charges, convictions and sentencings is the latest step by the Trump administration to dramatically rewrite the history of the assault on the Capitol, when hundreds of supporters of Republican President Donald Trump stormed the building in an effort to halt the congressional certification of his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

Trump, on his first day back in office in January 2025, pardoned, commuted the prison sentences or vowed to dismiss the cases of all of the 1,500-plus people charged with crimes during the Capitol assault, including those convicted of attacking officers with makeshift weapons such as flagpoles, a hockey stick and crutch.

On Monday, the Justice Department announced the creation of a $1.776 billion fund meant to compensate Trump allies who feel they were unjustly investigated and prosecuted.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has not ruled out that rioters convicted of violence will be eligible for payouts, prompting bipartisan anger in Congress.

Details released on Britney Spears DUI stop

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears refused to get out of her BMW for about 10 minutes before her driving under the influence arrest in March. When she did, the singing superstar smelled of booze and appeared drunk in field sobriety tests, according to a police report and dashcam video obtained Friday by The Associated Press.

“Her speech was rapid and slurred, her gait was unsteady, and she was fidgeting with her fingers,” the report from the California Highway Patrol said.

“Her mood changed from confrontational and agitated to flamboyant and compliant. She also appeared to speak with a British accent at times.”

Spears told officers, “I could probably drink four bottles of wine and take care of you, I’m an angel.”

But she said that in actuality she only had one drink, a mimosa, hours earlier, and she put her level of drunkenness at “zero.”

Breath tests put her blood alcohol level at .05 and .06, below the .08 level at which someone is presumed impaired in California.

A bottle of Adderall — the stimulant used to treat attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder — was found by an officer in her purse, and was not prescribed to her, the report said. She also gave a blood sample for a drug test, but those results were not included in the report.

Trump: Iran deal ‘largely negotiated’ Proposal said to include ending war, reopening Strait of Hormuz

BY MUNIR AHMED, SAMY MAGDY and MATTHEW LEE Associated Press

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — President Donald Trump said Saturday that a deal with Iran, including opening the Strait of Hormuz, has been “largely negotiated” after calls with Israel and other allies in the region.

“Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly,” Trump said on social media, with no details on timing.

He said he had spoken with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bah- Trump rain, and separately with Israel.

He described it as a “Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to PEACE” that still must be finalized by the United States, Iran and the other countries that participated in Saturday’s talks.

There was no mention of Iran’s nuclear program and highly enriched uranium, which Iran has sought to discuss later.

The United States and Iran were closing in on a deal to end the war, a regional official with direct knowledge of the Pakistan-led mediation efforts said earlier Saturday, after the U.S. weighed a new round of attacks on the Islamic Republic.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss closed-door deliberations, cautioned that “last-minute disputes” could blow up the efforts. This is not the first time in recent weeks that a deal has been described as close.

He said the potential deal would include an official declaration of the war’s end, with two-month negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program. The Strait of Hormuz would be reopened and the U.S. would end its blockade of Iran’s ports.

Iran, meanwhile, had signaled “narrowing differences” in negotiations with the U.S. after Pakistan’s army chief held more talks in Tehran, and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told journalists in India that “there’s been some progress made” and “there may be news later today.”

Both Iran and the U.S. emphasized their key positions and have warned of the risks of resuming attacks and disrupting their ceasefire. Rubio repeated the U.S. stance that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon and must turn over its highly enriched uranium, and the Strait of Hormuz must be open.

Iran state TV earlier quoted Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei as describing the draft as a “framework agreement” and adding: “We want this to include the main issues required for ending the imposed war and other issues of essential importance to us. Then, over a reasonable time span, between 30 to 60 days, details are discussed and ultimately a final agreement is reached.”

He said the Strait of Hormuz is among the topics discussed.

“Over the past week, the trend has been toward narrowing differences,” Baghaei told Iran’s official IRNA news agency, adding that nuclear issues are not part of current negotiations.

“Our focus at this stage is on ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon,” Baghaei said, adding that lifting sanctions on Tehran “has explicitly been included in the text and remains our fixed position.”

The Iranian-backed Hezbollah’s AlManar TV reported that the Lebanese militant group’s leader, Naim Kassim, received a letter from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying Tehran will not abandon its allies. There is a fragile, U.S.-brokered ceasefire in the IsraelHezbollah war in Lebanon, a conflict that began two days after the Iran war started.

Limiting Tehran’s support for armed proxies in the region has been a stated goal in the war, along with targeting its ballistic missile program.

Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, the lead negotiator in historic face-to-face talks with the U.S. last month in Islamabad, said Iran has rebuilt its military assets and if Trump resumes attacks, the result would be “more crushing and more bitter” than at the start of the war.

State TV said he spoke after meeting with Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir, who also met with Araghchi, President Masoud Pezeshkian and other senior officials. Qatar sent a senior official to Tehran to support Pakistan’s efforts.

Damaged chemical tank Remains of divers killed in Maldives repatriated sparks evacuations orders

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — The remains of four Italian divers who died deep inside an underwater cave earlier this month while diving in the Maldives were repatriated early Saturday, a Maldivian government spokesperson said.

The four coffins arrived at Milan’s Malpensa Airport in the middle of the day. The bodies were taken to a morgue and autopsies were due to begin on Monday, according to Italian news agency LaPresse.

Five Italian divers went missing on May 14 while exploring the cave about 160 feet in Vaavu Atoll. The body of their Italian diving instructor was recovered outside the cave at the time and has already been returned home.

A high-risk operation to recover the bodies faced hurdles and was initially suspended after Mohamed Mahudhee, a Maldivian military diver who was part of the recovery team, was killed.

Three Finnish expert deep and cave divers joined the mission and located the four bodies last week in the innermost chamber of the cave at a depth of around 200 feet. The recreational diving limit in the Maldives is 98 feet.

40K affected in California over fears of explosion or rupture

BY JOHN RABY Associated Press

A damaged chemical storage tank that authorities fear is at risk of exploding or rupturing in Southern California is gradually getting warmer despite efforts to reduce its internal temperature, a fire chief said Saturday.

No injuries were reported after the pressurized tank overheated Thursday and began venting vapors at a company site in Garden Grove, according to the Orange County Fire Authority. Evacuation orders were issued for 40,000 people, and several shelters remained open Saturday, including at three high schools.

Officials have no timeline on when residents can return to their homes.

Fire Authority Division Chief Craig Covey said Friday evening that efforts to cool the tank appeared to be working.

But on Saturday he backtracked, saying a reading conducted by drones Friday showed the temperature on the outside of the tank, not the inside.

Cooling the tank is important because the liquid chemical’s flashpoint is 50 de-

grees, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. If the chemical heats up, it can release a vapor that is harmful to people’s health.

It can cause respiratory issues, itching and burning eyes, nausea and headaches, said Dr. Regina Chinsio-Kwong, the Orange County health officer.

Covey said emergency crews were able to see the troubled tank’s temperature gauge in person late Friday.

“Unfortunately I do have to report that the temperature was 90 degrees,” Covey said Saturday. “Yesterday morning it was 77 degrees when we backed down. It’s been averaging about a degree an hour increasing.”

The concern is that the tank could fail and crack, releasing the liquid chemical onto the ground, or it could explode from pressure buildup, Covey said. If the contents spill, containment barriers have been set up to prevent the chemical from getting into storm drains or reaching creeks or the nearby ocean, he said.

Purdue University engineering professor Andrew Whelton, who gets called into emergencies and disasters where public safety and health is at risk, said the “best-case scenario is that the tank springs a leak and spills the chemicals on the ground and people are warned about what to do to protect themselves.”

Bystander also shot, law enforcement official says

BY DARLENE SUPERVILLE and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Secret Service shot a person near the White House on Saturday, and a bystander also was shot, a law enforcement official said.

Both individuals were said to be in critical condition, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation.

Journalists working at the White House on Saturday reported hearing a series of gunshots and were told to seek shelter inside the press briefing room.

On X, the Secret Service said it was “aware of reports of shots fired near 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW” — one block from the White House — and was “working to corroborate the information with personnel on the ground.” It said it will have an update shortly.

In a social media post, FBI Director Kash Patel said officers were responding to shots fired and said he would “update the public as we’re able.”

President Donald Trump was inside the White House

at the time.

In a post shared on X, Selina Wang, the senior White House correspondent for ABC News, shared dramatic video of the moment she said she heard what “sounded like dozens of gunshots” and ducked for cover. Writing that she had been performing a task that reporters at the White House do day in and day out — filming themselves on a cellphone, for a social media post — Wang’s video shows her speaking for a few seconds about Trump’s statements earlier Saturday about a potential Iran deal.

As the sounds of gunfire are heard in the background, Wang’s eyes grow wider, and she ducks down in the media tent, which is among those situated in a line along the White House driveway where broadcasters film their reports. On X, Wang’s video had been shared thousands of times as of Saturday evening, and viewed at least 3 million times.

The Metropolitan Police Department said on its X Account that the Secret Service was working the scene and cautioned people to avoid. The scene is near where a gunman ambushed two members of the West Virginia National Guard last November.

U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died from her wounds. Andrew Wolfe, then 24, was critically wounded. Rahmanullah Lakanwal has been charged in that incident.

Second Ebola treatment center set ablaze in Congo 18 with suspected infections flee

BY JUSTIN KABUMBA and WILSON MCMAKIN Associated Press

BUNIA, Congo — Angry residents of a town at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo attacked and burned a tent that was part of a health center where people are being treated for the virus, the staff there said Saturday. It was the second such attack in the region in a week.

No one was hurt in the attack, according to initial reports but as patients ran out to escape the fire, 18 people with suspected Ebola infections left the facility and are now unaccounted for, a hospital director said.

The angry residents had arrived at the clinic in the town of Mongbwalu on Friday night and set fire to a tent set up for suspected and confirmed Ebola cases by the Doctors Without Borders humanitarian group, Dr. Richard Lokudi, director of the Mongbwalu hospital, told The Associated Press.

“We strongly condemn this act, as it caused panic among the staff and also resulted in the escape of 18 suspected cases into the community,” he said.

On Thursday, another treatment center, in the town of Rwampara, was burned down after family members were banned from retrieving the body of a local man suspected to have died of Ebola.

The bodies of those who died of Ebola can be highly contagious and lead to further spread when people prepare them for burial and gather for funerals. The dangerous work of burying suspected victims is being managed wherever possible by authorities, which can be met by protests from families and friends.

A communal burial for Ebola patients in Rwampara took place on Saturday under tight security as tensions between health workers and the local community ran high, said David Basima, a team leader with the Red Cross overseeing burials.

Armed soldiers and police monitored the burials as Red Cross workers clad in white protective suits lowered sealed coffins into the ground. Crying family members stood at a distance.

Basima said his team, after arriving at the scene, “experienced a lot of difficulties, including resistance from young people and the community.”

“We were forced to alert the authorities so that they could come to our aid, just for safety,” said Basima.

A sanitation worker from the Bunia city government sprays chlorine to disinfect the central market on Saturday as Ituri province continues to combat an Ebola outbreak, in Bunia, Congo.

Congo on Friday banned funeral wakes and gatherings of more than 50 people in an effort to curb the spread of the virus.

The World Health Organization has said that the outbreak now poses a “very high” risk for Congo — up from a previous categorization of “high” — but that the risk of the disease spreading globally remains low.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Friday that 82 cases and seven deaths have been confirmed in Congo, but

that the outbreak is believed to be “much larger.”

There is no available vaccine for the Bundibugyo virus, a rare type of Ebola, which spread undetected for weeks in Congo’s Ituri province following the first known death, while authorities tested for another, more common, Ebola virus and came up negative. There are now 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths, though more are expected as surveillance expands.

Dr. Jean Kaseya, directorgeneral of the Africa Cen-

ters for Disease Control and Prevention, said a response to the outbreak must include building trust with communities.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said on Saturday that three of its volunteers had died from the outbreak in Mongbwalu.

The agency said it believed the three healthcare workers contracted the virus on March 27 while handling dead bodies as part of a humanitarian mission unrelated to Ebola.

If confirmed, this would significantly push back the timeline of the outbreak from the previous first confirmed death in late April in the town of Bunia, the capital of Ituri.

United States federal health officials said Friday night that they are banning green card holders who have been in Ebola-affected countries from returning to the U.S. Green card holders are people who are not U.S. citizens but have been granted authorization to live and work permanently in the United States.

According to a Federal Register notice on Friday, the U.S. government is enacting a rule that restricts green card holders who have recently been in Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan from reentering the United States. The rationale? Such a ban will help ensure that Ebola screening, contact tracing, quarantine monitoring, and medical monitoring will be available to U.S. citizens, according to the notice.

Federal law provides for a comment period before such rules become final. But in the notice, an HHS official argued they are allowed to order it to take effect immediately in certain circumstances.

HHS officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ukrainian drone attack triggers fire at Russian oil terminal

By The Associated Press A Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at another Russian oil terminal overnight, local officials in Russia’s Krasnodar region said Saturday, in what appeared to be the latest attack on Moscow’s vital oil industry.

Authorities in the city of Novorossiysk said falling

drone debris sparked a fire at an oil terminal, injuring two people. Russia’s Astra news outlet said Ukrainian drones struck the Sheskharis oil terminal and depot, the terminus for Russian state-controlled pipeline company Transneft’s main oil pipelines in the region. Images posted by Astra appeared to show smoke rising above the oil terminal, but

they could not be verified.

On Saturday afternoon, Ukraine’s General Staff said its forces had struck the Sheskharis oil terminal overnight.

“The facility provides shipment of oil and oil products for export and is involved in meeting the needs of the Russian army,” the General Staff wrote on Telegram,

adding that Ukrainian forces had also hit a tanker in the Black Sea belonging to Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet.”

Ukraine has expanded its mid- and long-range strike capabilities, deploying drone and missile technology that it has developed domestically to battle Russia’s 4-year-old invasion. Attacks on Russian oil assets that play a key part

in funding the invasion have become almost daily occurrences.

Meanwhile, the death toll from a Ukrainian drone strike overnight into Friday on a college dormitory building in Starobilsk, a city in Ukraine’s Russia-occupied Luhansk region, rose to 18, the press service of Russia’s Ministry of Emergency

Situations said. According to the ministry, 60 people were wounded in the attack.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday denounced the attack on the dormitory as a “crime” and ordered the military to submit its proposals for retaliation. He said there were no military or law enforcement facilities near the college.

Officials: Coal mine blast in China kills at least 82

By The Associated Press

BEIJING — A gas explosion at a coal mine in China’s northern Shanxi province killed at least 82 people, local officials said Saturday, in what was the country’s deadliest mining accident in recent years.

The official Xinhua News Agency said the accident at Changzhi city’s Liushenyu coal mine happened on Friday evening.

At a news conference late Saturday, local authorities said 82 were dead and that more than 120 people were hospitalized. Two were still missing. The death toll was a revised, lower number from earlier reports by state broadcaster CCTV that said 90 had died.

The scene at the coal mine was “chaotic” in the immediate aftermath of the accident, they said, and figures provided at the time were initial and not definite.

The explosion was under investigation, local officials said, adding there were “serious violations” of the law by the mine’s operator. They

Earlier on Saturday, Xinhua reported that rescue work was pressing on a day after the accident, with hun-

dreds of rescuers and medical personnel sent to the site.

Among the injured, many were hurt by toxic gas, according to CCTV. Chinese President Xi Jin-

ping has called for an all-out effort to rescue the missing, Xinhua reported. Xi also called for a “thorough investigation” and accountability “in accordance with

the law.”

Xinhua later reported that those responsible for the company involved in the mine accident have been “placed under control,” citing the local emergency management bureau.

An investigation team sent

by China’s powerful State Council, equivalent to the country’s Cabinet, would be conducting a “rigorous and uncompromising” probe into the deadly explosion, a separate Xinhua report said following Xi’s remarks.

Wang Yong, one of the hospitalized miners, told CCTV in a video interview that he smelled sulfur “like firecrackers” and saw smoke.

“I told people to run,” he said. “As I ran, I saw people being choked by the smoke.

And then I blacked out.”

The state broadcaster also reported that blueprints provided by the coal mine did not match the actual layout, hampering rescue efforts.

The U.S. Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, holds an emergency and air evacuation drill on Saturday.

Marines conduct rapid response drill at U.S. Embassy

By The Associated Press CARACAS, Venezuela — The U.S. military conducted a rapid response exercise involving Marines and military aircraft in Venezuela’s capital on Saturday, more than four months after the ouster of then-President Nicolás Maduro.

Two Marine Corps Osprey aircraft, which have characteristics of both a helicopter and a fixed-wing airplane, flew over the recently reopened U.S. Embassy in Caracas. They landed in the parking lot with the downdraft blowing tree branches. Forces then descended from the aircraft.

“Ensuring the military’s rapid response capability is a key component of mission readiness, both here in Venezuela and around the world,” the embassy said on Instagram.

Venezuela’s government had announced the drill earlier this week. Foreign Minister Yván Gil said the United States would conduct the exercise to prepare “in the event of medical emergencies or catastrophic emergencies.”

The drill comes almost two months after the U.S. formally reopened its embassy in Caracas. The reopening followed the restoration of full diplomatic relations with the South

American country after Maduro’s ouster in early January.

Some Caracas residents gathered near the embassy to watch the aircraft, while a few dozen others gathered elsewhere in the city to protest Saturday’s exercise. The protesters held a Venezuelan flag with the message “No to the Yankee drill” written over it.

U.S. military aircraft last flew over Caracas on Jan. 3, when elite forces rappelled down from helicopters and captured Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Both were taken to New York to face drug trafficking charges. They have pleaded not guilty.

Squadron markings on the Ospreys that landed in the capital Saturday identified them as belonging to Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 263. The same squadron is currently deployed aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima in the Caribbean Ocean. Maduro and Flores were flown to that warship immediately after their detention.

The head of U.S. military operations in Latin America observed the exercise firsthand. Marine Gen. Francis Donovan, head of the U.S. Southern Command, also met on Saturday with senior Venezuelan officials and embassy staff.

a national list of disasterprone coal mines by China’s National Mine Safety Administration in 2024 for having “high gas content.”

Shanxi province is known as China’s main coal mining province. With a size larger than Greece and a population of around 34 million, the province’s hundreds of thousands of miners dug 1.3 billion tons of coal last year, almost a third of China’s total.

In China, coal remains a key energy source due to its lower cost and high availability, even as the country accelerates its transition toward green energy. Mining disasters have been common although authorities had implemented measures to improve safety over the past years.

In February 2023, 53 people were killed after a collapse at an open-pit mine in northern China’s Inner Mongolia region. In November 2009, an explosion at a mine in northeastern China’s Heilongjiang province killed 108, according to state media.

BELGRADE, Serbia — Clashes erupted between groups of protesters and riot police after a huge anti-government rally on Saturday in the Serbian capital of Belgrade by tens of thousands of opponents of the country’s autocratic President Aleksandar Vucic.

While the rally at a central square in Belgrade passed peacefully, groups of young assailants later clashed with riot police, throwing flares, rocks and bottles at police cordons. Police responded with pepper spray as they charged forward to disperse them.

The groups, including apparent soccer hooligans, rolled trash cans into the streets as shield-carrying riot police tried to surround them. Police parked antiriot vehicles in a central Belgrade area to block the demonstrators from returning and the violence soon ended. Police said 23 people were detained.

A man throws a cobblestone at riot police on Saturday as clashes break out during a rally led by Serbia’s protesting university students who are pushing for major political changes in the Balkan country run by President Aleksandar Vucic, in Belgrade, Serbia.

Crowds of protesters earlier on Saturday streamed into central Belgrade, many carrying banners and wearing T-shirts inscribed with the “Students win” motto of the youth movement which organized the gathering.

Columns of cars drove into Belgrade from other Serbian towns earlier in the day.

Vucic has sought to curb the mass demonstrations that have shaken his hardline rule in the Balkan country. Big crowds on Saturday suggested the dissent

persists more than a year after protests first started to demand accountability for a train station tragedy in Serbia’s north in November 2024 that killed 16 people.

Serbia’s state railway company on Saturday canceled all trains to and from Belgrade, in an apparent bid to stop at least some people from coming from other parts of the country.

The president said in a video on Instagram on Saturday that protesters “have shown their violent nature

and that they cannot stand political opponents.” Vucic, who was on his way to China for a state visit, added that “the state is functioning and will continue to work in line with the law.”

Anti-corruption protests forced then-Prime Minister Milos Vucevic to resign in January 2025 before authorities pushed back hard against the protesters. Many people in Serbia blamed the concrete canopy crash at the station on alleged graftfueled negligence during the renovation work on the building carried out with Chinese companies.

The students on Saturday demanded an early election and the rule of law, accusing the government of crime and corruption.

Prosecutor Bojana Savovic told the crowd that “a state where laws are not implemented or are implemented selectively is no longer a state, it becomes a mafia organization.”

Parliament speaker Ana Brnabic downplayed the student rally, saying “it offered nothing new.” Police estimated that 34,300 people came to the rally, while organizers said it was many more, without giving a specific figure.

JOHANNESBURG — South African activists who were detained when their boats were intercepted while trying to breach Israel’s blockade of Gaza alleged Saturday they were beaten and tortured by Israeli soldiers in a detention facility.

The Global Sumud Flotilla of 50 vessels was intercepted Monday in international waters some 250 miles off the coast of Israel as they sought to breach the blockade and

The Israeli government has denied allegations of mistreatment of detained flotilla activists, saying they were “false and entirely without factual basis.” There was no immediate response to the activists’ accusations Saturday.

The activists were welcomed by pro-Palestinian supporters and their families as they arrived in South Africa from Turkey on Saturday morning.

They said many of them received harsh treatment, especially when the Israeli

She said some people were struck with guns. Detainees who had been stripped of their clothes and denied blankets had to huddle together in the cold to prevent hypothermia.

BRIDGE

Looking west toward Barataria Bay near Port Sulphur on Friday

Continued from page 1A needs of its location and not always contiguous. Sections would be built over time as planning is complete and money is available.

It would serve to not only rebuild wetlands that have been disappearing for a century but also slow storm surge at a time of intensifying hurricanes. The idea is not a new one, and the state has built smaller-scale restoration projects considered land bridges in various locations.

But the complications for what Dove and his coastal authority have in mind are immense. They include finding hundreds of millions of dollars in funding, seeking complex federal permitting, navigating existing pipelines and oyster leases, and identifying locations to dredge sediment that can be used for restoration.

Perhaps biggest of all is a question many have posed in response to the idea: Without the river diversions, is the land bridge actually worth what the state would pay for it? The diversions were intended to deliver sediment that would have nourished such a project, which eventually erodes like the rest of the coast.

‘Use the river’ For Dove, those concerns all pale in comparison to the benefits. He argues that pursuing such a plan allows the state to rebuild land quickly, at a lower cost and with less disruption than the diversions.

As for the eventual erosion, Michael Hare, the CPRA’s executive director, says restoration projects often last well beyond their 20-year design life span, and the coastal authority is looking into new ways of adaptation to further extend that. Future “renourishment cycles” where the state goes back in and replenishes those projects are also options.

But, as those favoring the diversions contend, there are many uncertainties still to be resolved related to the plans. They ask how much work can realistically be done in the coming years.

“I’m left with more questions than answers whenever I’ve heard them talk about land bridges,” said Steve Cochran, who serves on the governor’s advisory panel on coastal issues and has spent

his career in related roles.

“One of the reasons that you hear people like me and others continuing to harp on the need to use the river is because it’s been painfully clear for a very long time that the river provides a level of continuing sediment that literally nothing else can do, particularly at a scale which is remotely close to the scale of the work that we actually need to do.”

Land bridge restoration projects patch together longer stretches of land that were once separated by water bodies before they washed away. A prominent example of an existing natural land bridge is the strip on the northeastern edge of New Orleans dividing lakes Borgne and Pontchartrain.

The 94-mile plan that CPRA is pursuing would not be one seamless stretch, though parts of it would be.

It would be aimed at protecting the Barataria Basin, south of New Orleans and west of the Mississippi River, as well as Lafourche and Terrebonne.

An initial 23-mile phase in the Barataria area would be a priority. Dove has estimated the cost for that portion at around $700 million, though that is a preliminary figure since the state has yet to even determine a precise alignment.

So far, some $7 million is in hand for planning and design for Barataria and $4.5 million for the eastern Terrebonne portion, CPRA officials say. Certain projects already funded and ongoing will likely end up being part of the overall plan.

‘Listen to the people’ The state expects that

much of the money could come from funds related to the 2010 BP oil spill — money previously intended to pay for the $3 billion MidBarataria Sediment Diversion, the unprecedented plan that broke ground in 2023.

Landry canceled that project along with a future companion one, the Mid-Breton Sediment Diversion, in the face of harsh criticism from commercial fishers in those areas and their parish leadership over the changes they would bring.

Building land bridges has long been part of the state’s 50-year coastal master plan, but the diversions were intended to nourish them and extend their life spans.

Landry and Dove say the diversions were too risky and too costly, and would force too many shrimpers and oyster growers out of work.

Using BP money for the land bridge projects will require a detailed plan and approval from trustees overseeing those funds, while federal permits, land rights and sources of sediment will also be necessary. For areas closest to the river, piping in sediment from the Mississippi is an obvious option; farther away, the question becomes more difficult.

Coastal advocates warn that will mean more time wasted as the state’s land loss crisis accelerates.

They also note the roughly $700 million in BP funds already disbursed for the two diversions, much of which is likely to be lost.

Dove said the diversions would have “taken all the money,” been too destructive and the state would have been on the hook for

unanticipated costs.

Cochran questions whether the new strategy and its uncertainties match the enormity of the problem.

“That’s about more than Mid-Barataria,” he said.

“It’s about the process of decision-making. It’s about the discussions about facts versus rhetoric. … We don’t have time for politics as usual.”

“Anytime you get almost 50% in the primary, it’s almost impossible for anyone to overcome that. If I was in a race and ran that far behind, I’d seriously consider whether to run or not, especially with the president and governor (Jeff Landry) against him.”

On Tuesday, Fleming said he didn’t know whether he would compete in the runoff, saying he first needed the results of a poll.

“Are the 24% who voted for Cassidy wanting to vote for Letlow or Fleming?” he asked that day. “We don’t know. It’s something you have to measure.”

He posted the result on social media Wednesday: A survey by his pollster, John Couvillon, showing Letlow with 45% and Fleming with 44%. The other 11% were undecided in a poll of 640 voters.

“Fleming is tied and surging,” said his Facebook post.

“This is a whole new race,” Fleming said in an interview Thursday. “I think it’s 50-50. Now, this is not about removing Cassidy. This is about two candidates for the Senate. One is conservative and has a clean background.

The other has a very thin résumé, a weak voting record, a liberal voting record. I think when people compare us side by side, they’ll see two different candidates.”

Fleming’s own poll showed a better outcome than a hypothetical survey taken on May 11-12 by Greg Rigamer, a New Orleans-based poll-

IMPACT

Continued from page 1A In St. Landry Parish, the rejection of millages used to fund the parish’s schools by roughly two-thirds of voters led bus drivers to protest that were expecting pay increases.

“We’re out here taking a stand because we just want change overall,” said Belinda Stevenson, president of the St. Landry Parish Bus Drivers Association. “We have to let the community know that we will no longer accept ‘no,’ and we will no longer accept failure.”

The question many local leaders are now forced to reckon with is why voters seem so dissatisfied and angered, and what the future holds for public employees like Stevenson and local services if possible cuts are on the horizon.

One prevailing theory is that widespread opposition to the statewide constitutional amendments trickled down into opposition to local ballot measures. University of Louisiana at Lafayette political science professor Jacob Authement largely agrees with that assessment.

“We have seen an energetic and vocal opposition to these amendments with a clear message — ‘No on all,’” Authement said. “Any ballot measure endorsed by Gov. Landry has this opposition coming out in full force.

This does not accurately

ster for major lobbyist Alton Ashy. That poll, of 600 voters, showed Letlow leading Fleming, 41% to 35%.

“John Fleming won’t go down without a fight in the runoff,” said Albert Samuels, a political science professor at Southern University. “But he’ll be tremendously outspent, and he has a lot of ground to make up.

Letlow has largely ridden the endorsement of Donald Trump. She hasn’t been the perfect candidate, but in the Trumpified Republican Party, she doesn’t have to be.”

Fleming’s path to victory requires him to win over a good chunk of Cassidy voters, even after Cassidy told reporters on Tuesday that he won’t endorse in the race.

Woody Jenkins, who narrowly lost the 1996 Senate race and now chairs the East Baton Rouge Parish Republican Party, which has endorsed the treasurer, believes that Cassidy’s fierce attacks on Letlow during the primary mean that the senator’s supporters will turn to Fleming in the runoff.

“Cassidy spent many millions painting Letlow as a liberal,” Jenkins said.

“How can Cassidy supporters turn around and support Letlow?”

That’s not how Pearson Cross, a political science professor at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, sees it.

“It’s unclear that voters who previously supported Bill Cassidy would now turn

their allegiance to Fleming since he is rightly seen as more conservative than Letlow,” Cross said.

The Cassidy voters might simply stay at home.

The turnout for the primary was 27%. Analysts expect a lower turnout on June 27. There won’t be any constitutional amendments on the ballot or other statewide races. Parishes and towns throughout Louisiana will have millage renewals on the ballot, along with some local races.

The Letlow campaign expresses confidence, noting she led in 52 of the state’s 64 parishes on May 16 and in all six congressional districts.

Fleming ran strongest in northwest Louisiana, an area he represented in the U.S. House from 2009-17.

“Cassidy’s coalition was suburban, college-educated, traditional Republicans concentrated in Jefferson, East Baton Rouge, and Orleans,” the Letlow campaign said in a post-race analysis.

“In every one of those parishes except Orleans, Julia finished a close second to Cassidy. Fleming was a distant third.”

Letlow has already announced endorsements from U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, the Republican Majority Leader from Jefferson Parish, and from five sitting Republican senators.

“The electorate did not overwhelmingly participate in this election,” Authement said. “What I believe we are seeing in this election is a small group of motivated voters rather than the broader sentiments of the public.”

Turnout across Louisiana was around 27% for the constitutional amendments and sank lower for parishwide propositions, with around 24% of eligible voters par-

ticipating in the St. Landry parish millage renewal, and only 20% showing up for the Evangeline Parish millage renewal.

Both parishes will have another opportunity toward the end of this year to place the proposals back on the ballot, with both set to lapse at the end of the 2026 calendar year.

In Lafayette Parish, where voters rejected a 3.12-mill parishwide property tax

the runoff.

Breaux, for example, trailed then-U.S. Rep. Henson Moore in the 1986 Senate race, 37% to 44%, but won the runoff with nearly 53%.

Breaux said he secured the victory by getting the backing of the candidates who didn’t make the runoff. Like Breaux, they were Democrats, while Moore was a Republican.

That strategy won’t apply in this year’s Senate race because that was a jungle primary, and this year’s election is a closed primary.

In 1987, then-Secretary of State Paul Hardy trailed then-Lt. Gov. Bobby Freeman in the jungle primary to be lieutenant governor, 29% to 40%. Hardy defeated Freeman in the runoff with 53% of the vote.

“I got out my vote,” Hardy said this week. “He didn’t.”

But on that score, Letlow has a big advantage, said Ryan Cross, a political strategist.

“The Donald Trump voters will do what he tells them to do,” Cross said. “They will show up.”

Jenkins has his doubts, saying that many of Letlow’s voters were motivated by the president to end Cassidy’s Senate career.

“That anger is gone for the June 27 runoff election,” Jenkins said. “Now people are turning to who is the best person for the job. One of the things going against Historical parallels Letlow is her lack of expeLouisiana election history rience and her lack of any does show that candidates sort of statewide grassroots who finish second can win contacts.”

renewal that represents two-thirds of the library system’s budget, library board members discussed potential cuts if the tax fails again later this year.

“If you take 65% of our revenue away,” Director Danny Gillane said, “we would have to shutter buildings, remove staff, curtail hours severely, and, at that point in time, the question becomes which branches do we keep open.”

People cast their ballots during early voting May 4 at the Lafayette Parish Government Building in Lafayette. Louisiana voters rejected five constitutional amendments and local ballot initiatives, including property tax renewals crucial for libraries, roadwork and school pay raises, affecting services statewide. portray the distinctions between the amendments and other ballot measures, however. It certainly does not consider the wide variety of local ballot measures across the state.”

Regular voters in Louisiana are used to property tax renewals being placed on the ballot, as many parishes use them to fund local services and require voter approval every 10 years. Normally, renewals face little resistance, especially if their failure would mean substantial cutbacks, he said.

In St. Landry Parish, voters approved a millage during the 2023 state elections that goes toward pay raises for St. Landry Parish Schools employees, and Evangeline Parish widely approved sev-

eral millages for elderly services and local drainage.

Authement identifies two main reasons for the shift in voter behavior over the past three years.

“The ‘no on all’ opposition has been rather effective in tying these measures to the Landry administration and relying on falling approval ratings. We also see cost of living and inflation are the highest-ranked issues for Louisianans, and more than two-thirds of them believe their government is collecting too much in taxes.”

Authement, however, cautions against interpreting the May 16 results as indicating broad community-wide anger at the local agencies funded by the rejected proposals.

Kids need to develop healthy screen habits, expert says And early learning centers can help with that

Q&A WITH AMANDA STAIANO

DEVELOPMENTAL PSyCHOLOGy AND PUBLIC POLICy EXPERT

BY ELYSE CARMOSINO Staff writer

Early learning centers can play an important role in helping kids develop a healthy relationship to screens, experts say.

Last week, the Surgeon General’s Office issued an advisory about screen time among children and teens, calling it a public health concern and warning that exposure to screens often begins before a child has even turned 1.

Experts recommend that children between the ages of 2 and 5 get no more than an hour of screen time per day, while children under 2 should get none.

Yet one recent study found that the average U.S. 1-year-old spends 53 minutes in front of screens each day, which soars to an average of 150 minutes by age 3.

The prevalence of screens, and the risks for young children, make it crucial that early childcare centers responsibly monitor screen use, said Amanda Staiano, a developmental psychology and public policy expert at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge.

Staiano and her team put together the state’s first Screentime Regulations Toolkit to help early learning centers do just that.

The 20-page guide outlines the state education department’s existing screen policies, which prohibit activities on electronic devices for children under 2 and limit in-class screen time to two

Dr. Amanda Staiano, with the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, helped compile the state’s first screen time use guide for early learning centers. hours per day.

It also offers guidance on how schools can incorporate limited educational screen time into the school day and educate parents on responsible use.

Data have linked excessive screen use in young children to less physical activity, higher obesity rates, worse cognitive development and delayed social skills.

But Staiano doesn’t necessarily advocate for a complete screen ban.

Instead, she supports what the toolkit describes as a “smart screen” approach, which emphasizes using screen time in a way that’s educational while encouraging students to think critically about what they’re being shown.

The guide also emphasizes the

importance of having adults actively monitor young children’s screen use by using the technology alongside them and talking to them about what they’re watching.

Staiano spoke to The TimesPicayune | The Advocate about how screens affect developing brains and ways schools and parents can make the most of the screen time kids do get.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

What led your team to create the Screen Time Regulations Toolkit?

The Louisiana Department of Education regulates early childcare centers, and they added an electronic device policy a number of years ago that says these centers need to limit screen time to no more than two hours a day while a child is at the center.

We created the toolkit to try to educate centers about this, but also to provide them tools and resources on how they can comply with these regulations, or maybe even do better than these regulations.

What does research tell us so far about the impact of screen time on developing brains?

Screen time research is so ubiquitous, but on different devices, it can be hard to accurately measure how much time kids and families are even spending with screens.

But there seems to be more and more research emerging that not only are we seeing links between screen time and performance on cognitive tests, but we’re also seeing how screen use physically changes the brain.

In one study, researchers found links between excessive screen time and the loss of white matter (connective nerve fibers that help communicate information to different areas of the brain).

Many studies have also shown that excessive screen time can cause poorer executive functioning and worse academic and psychosocial outcomes.

How much screen time should children get each day?

It depends on who you ask.

Generally, there’s acknowledgment that a child shouldn’t have any screen time until about 18 months, but things like FaceTime would be OK, for example, in cases where family members live out of state and it’s a way for the kid to interact with them.

There’s a period of time in toddlerhood and early preschool where the recommendation is about one hour of quality co-viewing time per day. That means co-watching educational content from reputable companies, where the parent is sitting down with the kid and explaining what’s happening and asking questions like they would when reading a book.

Once a child reaches school age, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that families make a media plan together to decide how much screen time is appropriate.

What are some ways parents and schools can reduce kids’ screen time?

There are a lot of recommendations families can follow to help them have a healthier relationship with screens.

Typically, households have kids

of multiple ages who have different needs and preferences, so research indicates that having boundaries and rules in the household is what seems to be most beneficial for kids. The important thing is to have everyone in the family agree with those rules and stick to them.

Families should also be aware that those rules might change a little bit during the summer months.

That’s OK, but we don’t want screens in the bedrooms, we don’t want screens to interrupt sleep, and we want to avoid prolonged sitting in front of screens.

How much screen time should young children get at school?

I think we’re introducing screens in early elementary in ways that aren’t really necessary.

Of course, kids need to know how to operate a computer, but they’ll learn that at home. Through school, they’ll be typing out papers and learning how to find credible information online, so I think schools really need to focus on media literacy and teaching kids how to be smart consumers of media.

Schools need to have their own policies on how and how often screens are used so they can ensure it’s for educational purposes. Ultimately, I recommend avoiding screens entirely in the early years and then incorporating them as they make sense with the curriculum.

We all need to be smart consumers of screens.

If we try to totally restrict them, which isn’t really possible in this day and age, we’re going to be sending kids out into the world as unsophisticated users.

By The Associated Press

NEW DELHI — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in India on Saturday ahead of a meeting next week with his counterparts from India, Australia, and Japan, members of the Indo-Pacific strategic alliance known as the Quad.

Rubio’s first official trip to India comes as Washington seeks to stabilize relations with New Delhi after ties soured over President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, which raised duties on several Indian exports.

Much of Rubio’s four-day visit, however, will focus on a multicity tour, along with a gala reception in New Delhi marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.

Later Saturday, Rubio called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and “shared U.S. perspective on various regional and global issues, including the situation in West Asia,” a statement by Modi’s office said. Modi reiterated India’s support for peace efforts and stressed the need to resolve conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy, it said.

Rubio briefed Modi on progress in bilateral cooperation across defense, strategic technologies, trade and investment, energy, connectivity, education and people-

tive and focused on ways to deepen U.S.-India cooperation in security, trade and critical technologies.

Rubio is also scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Sunday.

On Tuesday in New Delhi, Rubio will participate in the ministerial meeting of the Quad that has repeatedly accused China of flexing its military muscles in the South China Sea and aggressively pushing its maritime territorial claims.

Beijing maintains that its military is purely defensive to protect what it says are its sovereign rights and calls the Quad an attempt to contain its economic growth and influence.

DHS threats to ‘sanctuary city’ airports worry travel industry

BY JOSH FUNK and RIO YAMAT

AP transportation and airlines Writers The travel industry is on edge after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin reiterated his threat to withdraw U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers from airports in socalled “sanctuary cities” in a move that could jeopardize international flights.

The U.S. Travel Association said that Mullin confirmed he is considering withdrawing CPB officers in a meeting where the trade group was pressing its concerns about other proposals the Trump administration is considering that could hamper travel. U.S. Travel and the major airlines quickly

tating consequences for the travel industry and communities that depend on international visitation,” the industry group said Friday in a statement.

Details of the meeting were first reported by The Atlantic.

Duffy told a Congressional hearing earlier this week that he wasn’t familiar with Mullin’s remarks, and he’d like to learn more about the context and maybe ask Mullin a question about what ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO By JACQUELyN MARTIN he meant. But Duffy said it would be a bad idea to start Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin listens as restricting travel based on President Donald Trump speaks Wednesday to the media political views. After all, at after returning and stepping off Air Force One at Joint Base some point Democrats will Andrews, Md. be in charge and “you will all switch spots at one point — hopefully not too soon Mr. condemned the idea, and doesn’t make sense to him. even Transportation Sec“U.S. Travel believes such Chairman,” Duffy said. retary Sean Duffy said it a move would have devas-

“We have people from around the world and around the country that need to be able to fly into all different kinds of places. We shouldn’t shut down air travel in a state that doesn’t agree with our politics,” Duffy said.

So it’s not clear how much support this idea has within the administration, though President Donald Trump has previously threatened to withhold funding from sanctuary cities.

There is no strict definition for sanctuary policies or sanctuary cities, but the terms generally describe limited cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And courts have rejected the idea of pulling funding from them in the past.

In Trump’s first term in office, in 2017, courts struck down his effort to cut funding to the cities.

It’s not clear exactly which cities and airports Mullin might target, but the Justice Department last year published a list of three dozen states, cities and counties that it considers to be sanctuary jurisdictions.

The Airlines for America trade group was quick to say the idea would hurt the economy and disrupt travel.

“Reducing CBP staffing at major airports would have a devastating effect on the airline and tourism industries, causing a significant operational disruption to carriers, travelers and the flow of international cargo.”

Pope meets families of youth lost to illegal toxic waste dumping

BY SILVIA STELLACCI Associated Press

ACERRA, Italy — Pope Leo XIV on Saturday greeted one by one families who lost loved ones to illegal toxic dumping in an area near Naples, tied to a multi-billion criminal racket run by the mafia.

Many paused to share photographs and other memen- Leo XIV tos of children and young people who have died or are battling cancer because of the pollution.

Leo’s visit to the so-called Terra dei Fuochi, or Land of Fires, came on the eve of the 11th anniversary of Pope Francis’ big ecological encyclical Laudato Si (Praised Be), and indicates Leo’s commitment to carry on his predecessor’s environmental agenda.

“I have come first of all to gather the tears of those who have lost loved ones, killed by environmental pollution caused by unscrupulous people and organizations who for too long were able to act with impunity,” Leo said in remarks to family members and local clergy inside Acerra’s cathedral.

The pontiff recalled that the area now dubbed the Land of Fires was once called “Campania felix,” Latin for blessed or fruitful countryside, “capable for enchanting for its fertility, its produce and its culture, like a hymn to life.

“And yet — here is death, of the land and of men,” the pope said.

The European Court of Human Rights last year validated a generation of residents’ complaints that mafia dumping, burial and burning of toxic waste led to an increased rate of cancer and other ailments in the area of 90 municipalities around Caserta and Naples, encom-

passing a population of 2.9 million people.

The court found Italian authorities had known since 1988 about the toxic pollution, blamed on the Camorra crime syndicate that controls waste disposal, but failed to take necessary steps to protect the residents. The binding ruling gave Italy two years to set up a database about the toxic waste and verified health risks associated with living there.

Bishop Antonio Di Donna estimated 150 young people had died in the city of some 58,000 over the past three decades — emphasizing in his opening remarks that the number didn’t take into ac-

count adults and victims in other municipalities.

He urged the pope to admonish those who continue to pollute, noting that the dumping of tons of toxic waste was reported a day earlier near Castera. Di Donna said that Italian officials had identified dozens more human-caused contamination sites throughout the country, including the Venetian port of Marghera, and the leaching of PFAS forever chemicals into groundwater near Vicenza.

“We say to those brothers of ours ensnared in evil and seized by a mirage of fabulous earnings: Convert, change your ways, because what you are doing is not only a crime, it is a sin that cries out to God for vengeance,” the bishop said.

LOUISIANA POLITICS Officials waiting on details for key FEMA change Money would come faster, but there might be a catch WASHINGTON — On the August 2005 morning after Hurricane Katrina passed, a good many south Louisiana households woke up thinking, “Well, that wind event wasn’t that bad.”

Only the people near failing levees initially knew just how bad the flooding would become.

And that’s the worry about a key FEMA Review Mark Council recommenBallard dation that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is considering for getting federal money to disaster survivors quickly.

Right now, public comments are being collected on the council’s 150 or so suggestions. State and local officials are happy about getting federal assistance quicker but unsure, at least until details are ironed out, about the centerpiece for making that happen.

Trump’s panel suggested RAPID Parametric Block Grants to send money to state treasuries within 30 days, rather than the often yearslong approach of paying only after services have been rendered and vetted. But that means sending the money before all the damage assessments are made.

“We’re recommending that they use parametrics to do that.

It’s based on historical data that the community has about the damages caused in the past,” said Mark Cooper, a member of the president’s task force. He is a Baton Rouge consultant who headed the Governor’s Office of

End of legislative session approaches

The Louisiana Legislature has about a week to pass a new congressional map, a budget and any other legislation before adjournment on June 1.

After a 10-hour hearing Thursday, the House and Governmental Affairs committee passed an amended version of the state’s new voting districts for Capitol Congress. While it Buzz is broadly similar STAFF to the version the REPORTS Senate passed — it would create one majority-Black, solidly Democratic district and fortify five safe seats for Republicans — some of the changes have irked senators, who say they may undo the changes.

Time is running out for those negotiations. The House meets Monday to read the bills in, and the full chamber will vote sometime later this week. That gives only a few days for the Senate to reject the amendments and a conference committee to hash out a compromise.

Meanwhile, the Senate Finance

Hurricane Ida damaged a boardwalk on the Bayou Coquile Foot Trail in Marrero.

Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness under Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal and was chief of staff to Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards.

FEMA would calculate whether a disaster is big enough for the federal government to get involved, and if so, how much money would be sent within 30 days based on the size of the storm, rather than the amount of damage.

Essentially, the idea is that a Category 5 storm with sustained winds of more than 157 miles per hour would receive a higher grade than a Cat 3 storm with sustained winds of 111 to 129

miles per hour.

What concerns some local and state emergency managers is that the calculation might not be enough to trigger federal reimbursements, thereby stretching already tight local and parish budgets.

The New Orleans School District, for instance, bought privately offered parametric wind insurance for 2024, but the 105-mph winds of Hurricane Francine, which caused more than $1 billion in damage, did not meet the policy’s trigger. That left local taxpayers on the hook for damage to school facilities, according to the Congressional

Research Service.

Mitch Orgeron, president of Lafourche Parish, said parish and state officials for years have complained about FEMA’s disbursement system that was bogged down in bureaucracies imposed by Congress. He and others want block grants that officials at the scene could spend to address needs, rather than requirements set in Washington.

But their delight in FEMA moving toward that model is tempered by the lack of parametric details at this point, he said.

“Each storm has a whole set of dynamics that can generate different types of damages because

Committee on Thursday passed an amended version of the budget for the next fiscal year, which starts June 1. Because the latest revenue forecasts came in lower than anticipated, the committee was required to cut the budget, eliminating extra money for school vouchers and school operating expenses, among other things.

The full Senate still needs to pass the budget, and the House must concur with amendments.

And legislators are still working with Gov. Jeff Landry to figure out which state employees will get raises, if any.

you would tell someone — even if they wanted to vote for you — that they can’t.”

HB906 has also faced staunch resistance from some Senate Democrats, though the heads of both state parties have said they are on board with the plan.

Louisiana has Henry approximately 813,000 no-party voters, making up around 27% of the electorate, according to data from the Secretary of State’s Office.

Supporters of HB906, which is sponsored by state Rep. Beth Billings, R-Destrehan, say only members of the Democratic or Republican parties should be able to choose who participates in their primaries.

Currently, some primary elections in the state — including those for U.S. House and Senate seat — are partly closed: Republicans vote for their preferred Republican candidate and Democrats vote for their preferred Democratic candidate, but noparty voters can choose which primary to participate in.

That arrangement was a com-

promise the Legislature came to in 2024, when it decided to abandon its “jungle primary” system for congressional races at the governor’s behest. At the time, senators said privately that Henry and Landry engaged in shouting matches over the proposal.

Henry casts doubt on party primaries bill Louisiana Senate President Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, is raising doubts about a bill that would allow major political parties to choose whether no-party voters should be allowed to participate in their primary elections.

“I don’t like it,” Henry said Thursday of House Bill 906, which needs to pass the full Senate before heading to Gov. Jeff Landry’s desk. “No party is about roughly one-third of the voting population. I don’t know why

Ten Commandments monument bill passes The Louisiana Legislature has passed a bill to put a Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the State Capitol.

Senate Bill 307, by state Sen. Rick Edmonds, R-Baton Rouge, would require the state commissioner of administration to facilitate the installation of such a monument if a donor steps forward to pay for it.

The bill, which passed the House in a vote of 74-23 on Tuesday and the Senate by a 26-7 vote Wednesday, specifies that the state is not to pay for the structure.

Support for SB307 mostly fell along party lines, with Republicans in favor of it and Democrats opposed.

The bill also would expand a state statute that deals with the display of religious documents, adding language that paints re-

you may have some storms that are going to be largely surge with not a whole lot of wind, right? And then you could have another storm that is a whole lot of wind with not a whole lot of surge by virtue of the direction it takes, how fast it intensifies as it approaches the coast, so on and so forth,” Orgeron said.

The Center for Economic and Policy Research, a left-leaning economic policy think tank based in Washington, calculated property damages roughly the same for Hurricane Harvey, which made landfall near Houston as a Category 4 storm, and Hurricane Katrina, which was a Cat 3 storm.

“Under the ‘parametric trigger’ rationale, survivors of Katrina would have received less aid, despite the fact that the storm wiped entire towns along the Gulf Coast off the map,” the center’s analysis reported. “FEMA’s implementation of parametric triggers could be more about cost-saving and shifting risk away from the federal government rather than about using an innovative tool to improve aid.”

“What are the trade-offs?” asked Brigadier General Jason P. Mahfouz, director of the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness. His staff is gaming out how the FEMA proposals would have impacted Louisiana during past disasters.

“Moving things quicker, getting from recovery quicker, closing out disaster recovery grants and public assistance grants quicker is only going to mean a better value for the taxpayers at a local and a federal level,” Mahfouz said. “I think grant money is always going to be there.”

ligion as a key part of American government.

It cites the Mayflower Compact, a short statement that establishes a government among the English settlers who sailed aboard the Mayflower to Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620.

“The Mayflower Compact of 1620 was America’s first written Edmonds constitution and made a Covenant with Almighty God to ‘form a civil body politic,’” SB307 says.

“This was the first purely American document of self-government and affirmed the link between civil society and God.” SB307 comes two years after Louisiana passed a controversial law directing schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Gov. Jeff Landry and other supporters have said the law represents a much-needed return to traditional values in public education.

Opponents have argued it infringes upon students’ religious freedom and breaches the separation of church and state, but a recent court decision upheld a similar law in Texas.

More children’s hospitals turn to dogs to help kids heal

BY LAURA UNGAR Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The first time 5-year-old Calvin Owens went outside in more than a month, he met up with his canine friend Hadley on a hospital patio. Despite being tethered to equipment with wires and tubes, the little boy managed to stand up near his wheelchair long enough to toss her a ball.

He smiled as she ran to fetch it. Caregivers cheered.

“Look how good you’re doing!” said Hadley’s handler, Schellie Scott.

Such small victories and moments of joy are common whenever Hadley or one of the other three facility dogs at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital show up. These furry caregivers aren’t the typical therapy dogs volunteers bring to hospitals to comfort patients. They are specially trained, full-time working dogs that provide emotional support during stressful procedures, motivate kids to move around and make hospitals seem less scary. And experts say their ranks are growing at children’s hospitals across the nation.

A mounting body of research shows that even short interactions with facility dogs can improve children’s overall well-being, decrease the pain they feel and reduce signs of stress, like cortisol levels and blood pressure.

“These dogs are making a real difference,” said Kerri Rodriguez, director of the Human-Animal Bond Lab at the University of Arizona.

“They can provide a little bit of normalcy, a little bit of comfort, in a really stressful, sterile environment that kids might not feel comfortable in.”

Although no one tracks the number of facility dogs in children’s hospitals, Rodriguez points to the continual growth of the annual Facility Dog Summit, where handlers and other participants network and where atten-

dance nearly doubled from 2024 to 2025. Other types of hospitals also have full-time dogs, but experts say children’s hospitals account for most of the expansion in programs. One large nonprofit, Canine Assistants in Georgia, has a specific children’s hospital initiative through which it has placed more than 80 dogs nationally.

Dogs have been on the job for years at places such as Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital in New York, Norton Children’s in Louisville, Kentucky, and St. Louis Children’s Hospital. And new programs keep sprouting up. In March, Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Maryland introduced its first two facility dogs.

Hospitals generally get the dogs from nonprofits.

Organizations such as Canine Companions, where Cincinnati Children’s gets its dogs, breed, raise and train them, then place them with hospital staff members but still own them. Dogs and handlers live and work together.

Although hospitals don’t pay for the dogs, they’re responsible for costs such as food and veterinary care, which can add up, especially since most are larger breeds like Labradors or golden retrievers. Hospitals usually fundraise or seek grants to cover the costs.

Experts say the benefits of these sorts of “animalassisted therapies” are clear. A 2022 study Rodriguez coauthored analyzed a survey conducted across 17 children’s hospitals. Pediatric health professionals described how facility dogs provided a comforting presence, built rapport, and normalized the hospital environment for children and families. A 2021 study in the Journal of Pediatric Nursing concluded that animal- assisted therapies were beneficial for controlling pain and blood pressure in children and teens. Other research also found these therapies

Facility dogs are allowed in more sensitive areas of the hospital than volunteer dogs, and sometimes serve particular hospital units. Opal, one of two St. Louis dogs, splits her time between the pediatric behavioral health unit and the child protection program.

No matter where the dogs work, keeping them clean is key.

Hadley, in Cincinnati, is bathed twice a month because she works in the cancer and blood diseases area, where kids might have reduced immunity. She gets even more baths, or cleanings with special wipes, if she’s potentially exposed to germs. Handlers use leashes and balls that can be easily cleaned, and people must sanitize their hands before and after touching the dogs.

If a patient is in isolation, the dog stays outside the room. The one exception is if a dying child wants a dog to be close. In those cases,

caregivers say concerns about germs are outweighed by the need to ease fears and provide comfort.

Hadley’s workday starts whenever her handler Scott — whose job as a child life assistant involves keeping patients’ lives as normal as possible — arrives at the hospital. Hadley mostly sees patients, but also gets breaks when she can just do what she wants.

On a recent morning, the Labrador-golden retriever mix raced around a grassy dog play area with her canine co-worker, Grover.

While Grover is calm and chill, Hadley gets so excited she shakes her head to toss balls to herself.

“Hadley loves life,” Scott said. “Hadley lives big.”

Inside the hospital, the dogs get constant attention.

For handlers, “it’s like being the assistant to a famous person,” joked Scott.

Signs of the dogs’ celebrity status are everywhere.

They appear on closedcircuit television shows filmed by the hospital and

beamed into patient rooms.

Photos of the dogs, themed for holidays or events, line the hallways. And there are mailboxes where kids can drop letters or pictures for the dogs and get replies.

Patients can also get trading cards for each dog with stats like breed and birthday, bandanas to decorate for their furry friend, or little stuffed dogs. Caregivers create books featuring the dogs to show kids about procedures or treatments they’re about to undergo.

Kids hospitalized for long stretches get to know the dogs well.

Aspen Franklin, a 14-yearold fighting a life-threatening immune disorder, has been coming to the hospital since she was a toddler and was recently hospitalized for weeks. At times, Hadley has snuggled beside her in bed.

“She has a calming presence,” Aspen said. “That is a comfort to me.”

Like other facility dogs, Hadley also helps her family cope. When Aspen’s younger

brother Emory donated his cells for her bone marrow transplant, Hadley spent time with him — and other visiting siblings.

Having Hadley around “is really nice because they’re away from their animals at home,” said their mom, Brittney Franklin, whose family has two dogs and a cat.

Franklin recently watched as Aspen painted with Hadley. The dog couldn’t go in her room so soon after her transplant, so Aspen dabbed colors on a small canvas and handed it to Scott, who put it in a plastic bag and smeared peanut butter on top. Just outside the room, Hadley eagerly licked it up. A piece of abstract art emerged.

Hadley’s next patient was Calvin, the little boy she met on the patio. Calvin has a rare, severe type of childhood arthritis and recently had a bone marrow transplant. Though he could only stand for a few moments at a time, he made the effort repeatedly to play with Hadley.

“He’s such a strong little man,” Scott said.

After Calvin went inside, Hadley met up with 11-yearold Bethany Striggles, who recently finished a chemotherapy treatment for bone cancer. The girl hurled the ball all the way down the hallway, and Hadley bounded happily to retrieve and gently return it. Bethany rewarded her with an ice pop.

“She helps me exercise more,” Bethany said. “She’s energetic and happy and always likes to see me.”

But Hadley does eventually tire. When that happens, she goes back to an office affectionately known as her lair, where she has treats, toys and a big dog bed.

Above the bed is a bulletin board covered with drawings, photos and notes. One, written on orange construction paper, contains a small, pink handprint and the words: “Thank you for being my BEST FRIEND.”

Audit: LSU affiliate misused millions System president: School ‘committed to taking decisive action’

BY HALEY MILLER Staff writer

A cybersecurity research nonprofit affiliated with LSU paid its executive staff millions without approval, misused state funds and possibly retained as an attorney a contractor who wasn’t licensed to practice law, an audit released last week found.

The report from the Louisiana

Legislative Auditor said LSU may have violated the Louisiana Constitution and state law by failing to properly oversee the nonprofit Stephenson Technologies Corp.

The LSU Board of Supervisors approved STC as an affiliate in 2015 to secure federal contracts for the university.

In a statement Thursday, LSU system President Wade Rousse said he had directed Chancellor

Jim Dalton to “immediately evaluate STC’s sustainability as a partner.”

“The audit clearly reveals significant deficiencies in LSU’s past oversight of Stephenson Technologies Corporation leading to considerable funds being misdirected and misused, and those actions do not serve this university’s mission or values,” Rousse said. “LSU is committed to taking decisive ac-

tion to strengthen oversight over all of our affiliated organizations moving forward.”

On its website, STC identifies itself as “An Applied LSU R&D Nonprofit” that bridges academic research and national security operations. It contracts with the federal government and other clients to work on tech security issues.

Per the auditor’s report, the corporation paid its former CEO and

LSU employee Jeffrey Moulton at least $1.3 million in wages, incentive pay, a golf club membership, condo lease payments and other compensation without the approval of LSU between 2017 and 2022.

Moulton was known as a Baton Rouge-area cybersecurity expert.

“None of Mr. Moulton’s STC compensation was properly approved by LSU as required by Louisiana law, and LSU policy,” the audit said.

Friends carry on legacy of rocker Dege Legg Blue Moon bash to celebrate musician

BY JOANNA BROWN Staff writer

At the time of Dege Legg’s death two years ago, the rocker was living a life of permanent hustle highlighted with creative and commercial success.

Dege Legg, of Brother Dege & The Brethren, was known for an accessible, highly personal style of Southern blues and rock that highlighted his gifts as a songwriter. He was always writing, making new work and finding new ways to share it, according to his friends, who recently honored the musician with a mural on the studio where Legg lived.

The Dege Legg mural unveiling took place March 8, on the twoyear anniversary of the artist’s death in 2024. The event kicked off a year that is set to feature multiple tributes to Legg, starting with a “Brother Dege Beach Birthday Bash” at the Blue Moon Saloon in Lafayette on June 6.

“He always did these beach parties back in the day, where he put up tiki torches and kiddie pools and foam machines. Always pushing the boundaries,” said Troy Primeaux, Legg’s friend and former Santeria bandmate.

The birthday bash is open to the public and will feature a beachy vibe in honor of Legg, with music from The Brethren, Santeria, Mike Dean and Michael Juan Nunez.

There’s a chance that partygoers will hear songs from Legg’s new album “The Great Unknown,” set to be released posthumously later this year, according to Primeaux.

He’s been in the studio recently with Legg’s bandmates and a long list of musical collaborators, recording work that the musician left behind.

“He wrote a song called ‘The Great Unknown,’ and he told me, ‘Preem, I wrote my Moonlight Mile,’ which is a Rolling Stones song on ‘Sticky Fingers’ that was his and my favorite,” said Primeaux. “It’s a beautiful song and very touching, and it has this great

Legislature sinks new bid for carbon capture votes Bills would have allowed local control of deciding permits

BY DAVID J. MITCHELL Staff writer

Louisiana legislators have blocked a new series of attempts to allow local governments or their voters to decide whether to permit carbon capture and sequestration in their communities.

Proponents argued the bills would have extended basic democratic principles to a highinterest issue, as similar laws have for video poker, gambling and alcohol sales. But industry

representatives and their legislative allies aired concerns about creating uncertainty for new investing that has drawn $100 billion in proposed projects since 2018.

The state’s energy secretary also suggested the bills may be unconstitutional and could endanger Louisiana’s ability to continue to regulate such projects, though some legislators later questioned that analysis.

The issue has gained increasing political traction, cutting across party lines, including in the recent election for U.S. Senate.

Under carbon capture and sequestration, companies would inject and permanently store waste carbon dioxide deep un-

derground. The technology would allow major industries to cut emissions that drive climate change and create low-carbon products for foreign markets.

But it has raised controversy over what residents see as risks to aquifers and property rights in rural parishes where major underground storage sites and delivery pipelines are being proposed. Industry officials say those concerns are overblown and call carbon capture a safe and effective method of dealing with greenhouse gas emissions.

In a series of 7-9 or 7-8 votes on Tuesday, the House Natural Resources and Environment Committee turned down six bills on so-called local option elections or police jury votes for carbon

capture and sequestration.

Similar measures have failed in past years in the committee as the panel has continued to serve as a bulwark against most efforts to ban or restrict the technology or submit it to local political control, often in defiance of the committee’s chairman, said state Rep. Brett Geymann, RLake Charles.

The first of the bills to fail would have extended the option to all parishes in Louisiana.

Later bills that were rejected applied to four parishes where major carbon storage projects are planned: Allen, Beauregard, Rapides, Sabine and Vernon parishes.

University of New Orleans president stepping down CARBON

Continued from page 1B

Johnson leaving for provost post in St. Louis

BY MARIE FAZIO

Staff writer

University of New Orleans President Kathy Johnson, who led the university through a financial crisis and helped navigate its return to the LSU system, will step down at the end of June, university officials said Friday.

Johnson has accepted a role as executive vice president and provost at Saint Louis University. Jeanette Weiland, who was hired as UNO’s interim chief administrative officer earlier this year, will serve as interim chancellor and chief administrative officer.

After the university officially transitions to the LSU system in July, officials said, LSU will launch a nationwide search for an LSU New Orleans chancellor.

Johnson did not comment on Friday about her departure. But University of Louisiana system President Rick Gallot said the system

was thankful for her service.

“We are very grateful to Dr. Kathy Johnson for her leadership, service and commitment to the University of New Orleans during an important chapter in the institution’s history,” Gallot said. “Her dedication to students, faculty and staff helped position the university for this next chapter, and we wish her continued success.”

The announcement is another pivot for a university that is preparing for a bigger shift, as continued low enrollment and budget concerns have sparked its transition back to the LSU system. That system governed UNO from its founding in 1958 until 2011.

Weiland’s understanding of higher education and New Orleans will benefit UNO, LSU system President Wade Rousse said in a statement.

“As the University of New Orleans rejoins the LSU System,” Rousse said, “her (Weiland’s) experience and vision will help position LSU New Orleans for a strong and successful future.”

Inheriting a crisis

of cuts to trim the budget, including rounds of layoffs and furloughs and spending and hiring freezes. The university also closed some academic buildings.

Amid the crisis, state lawmakers passed legislation to jump-start the process of shifting the university back to the LSU system. Proponents of the move, which will become effective July 1, have said they hope bringing UNO under the LSU umbrella would financially stabilize the university and boost its enrollment.

The state also allocated $20 million to UNO, which the university used to pay off some of its longstanding debts.

campus as chief administrative officer in March after having worked as a consultant, said the changes “shored up this university and gave us a shot.”

UNO has also brought back pest control, custodial and groundskeeping services that had been cut, and it has bumped minimum pay for full-time employees to $40,000 a year, she said.

“We’re good, we’re stabilized,” Weiland said. “We can do our therapy sessions about the past, the PTSD because it’s real. But we are forward looking, we are forward thinking and we have to win.”

In her March letter to the university community, Johnson said the moves would reduce structural costs and allow LSU New Orleans more leeway to act on new opportunities.

“Transitions test institutions, but they also clarify who we are,” Johnson said. “I am confident that by making disciplined, forward-looking decisions now, we are building a stronger foundation for the next chapter of our university’s story.”

From left, Tony Daigle, Troy Primeaux and members of Dege Legg’s band, Brother Dege & The Brethren, hold the late rocker’s favorite guitar.

State Rep. Mike Johnson, R-Pineville, proposed two of the bills: House Bill 5, which would have allowed parish local options statewide, and House Bill 6, which would allow a local vote in Rapides only.

Johnson told the committee that his bills weren’t about blocking carbon capture and sequestration, or CCS, but giving residents a voice and allowing their police juries to control landuse decisions. He said the Rapides Parish Police Jury, when it rejected a resolution opposing CCS recently, passed another resolution that asked him to seek a local option vote.

“This is not anti-business.

It’s not anti-property rights.

It just about respecting local self-government and allowing communities to share and to shape their own future,” Johnson said.

Industry representatives countered that Louisiana is competing with neighboring states for CCS. Local option bills would create uncertainty that could drive those investment dollars elsewhere and set a precedent for similar kinds of local oversight on other industries.

“That cannot be the message we send to businesses looking to grow in this state.

This is an issue where Louisiana has to speak with one voice. That’s the responsibility of this body. It cannot be parsed into parish-sized pieces,” said Patrick Robinson, vice president of government relations for the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry.

The state won approval from the federal government to regulate CCS in 2024. Dustin Davidson, Department of Conservation and Energy secretary, told the committee that if the local option bills were to pass, EPA could seek to revoke that authority and review injection permits with rules less stringent than the state’s. He said local votes would inject a political rationale into reviews that wasn’t based on technical and scientific reasons.

He also argued that the bills would be unconstitutional if adopted because they would be substituting local rules for federal law.

In later testimony, however, he acknowledged that he had nothing in writing from EPA warning such a change could come to pass. Some committee members like state Rep. Lauren Ventrella, R-Greenwell Springs, a lawyer, raised questions about his constitutionality claims and wanted more research.

State Rep. Rodney Schamerhorn, R-Hornbeck, had three rejected local option bills — for Beauregard, Sabine and Vernon parishes — and he pointed out that the state Department of Environmental Quality requires local government backing for new landfills.

The vote for HB5, which would have allowed local option elections on carbon capture statewide, went as follows: “yes,” Geymann; Dewith Carrier, R-Oakdale; Kim Coates, R-Ponchatoula; Jason DeWitt, R-Tioga; Shane Mack, R-Livingston; Danny McCormick, R-Oil City; and Ventrella; “no,” state Reps. Ken Brass, DVacherie; Jacob Braud, R-Belle Chasse; Jessica Domangue, R-Houma; Travis Johnson, D-Vidalia; Jacob Landry, R-Erath; Joseph Orgeron, R-Golden Meadow; Neil Riser, RColumbia; Paul Sawyer, RBaton Rouge; and Jerome Zeringue, R-Houma.

Johnson, who previously served as chief academic officer of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, was hired in 2023 as UNO’s first permanent female president. She immediately inherited a fullblown budget crisis.

Other than a slight boost before the COVID pandemic, the university’s enrollment had been on the decline for the better part of two decades since its 2003 peak, when it enrolled more than 17,000 students.

By the time Johnson succeeded John Nicklow, enrollment was just 6,602 students — fewer than the 6,700 students who enrolled in 2005, when New Orleans was swamped by Hurricane Katrina and subsequent levee failures.

“The biggest opportunity right now is strengthening our enrollment through diversifying the students that we serve, and making sure that they are retained successfully through their time here,” she said in an interview her first year on the job.

Johnson instituted a series

‘We’re stabilized’ In March, Johnson announced the closure of UNO’s liberal arts building, which needed $20 million in repairs and was considered unsafe. Officials also said the university would lease the Human Performance Center to Ben Franklin High School, a public high school adjacent to campus that needed more space.

Tammany council gets control of mosquito district budget

BY WILLIE SWETT

Staff writer

The Louisiana Legislature has unanimously adopted legislation that will give the St. Tammany Parish Council much greater financial authority over the parish’s Mosquito Abatement District, an agency that is otherwise independent of parish government.

The legislation, which had the backing of a majority of Parish Council members, repealed a 1985 law that had given the board and director of the mosquito district final say over the district’s budget.

The bill was signed by Gov. Jeff Landry on May 11 and will become effective Aug. 1.

Fueled by a dedicated property tax, the mosquito district’s annual budget is $9 million. Parish Council Chair Cheryl Tanner said the council plans to require the district to turn in a budget

AUDIT

Continued from page 1B

Other members of executive management were allegedly paid more than $1 million in incentive payments, severance payments and club membership benefits without LSU signing off.

STC was also found to have paid some expenses using taxpayer dollars provided

by Louisiana Economic Development, a state agency.

The Louisiana Constitution generally prohibits donation of public funds.

According to the audit, the corporation used LED money to compensate executives, as well as to provide an unaffiliated nonprofit corporation, Stellar, with office space in Baton Rouge. STC paid more than $600,000 to expand its office space and over $400,000 to lease it between 2021 and 2024, with one-fourth of the expanded space reserved for Stellar, the report said.

STC failed to act in the best interest of LSU when it incorporated Stellar in 2018, the audit said. The corporation reportedly obtained federal contracts that solely benefited Stellar, not the university.

“STC is now financially distressed and reliant on state funding from LED to meet its operating expenses,” the audit said. “By obtaining funds for Stellar and receiving compensation and benefits from Stellar, Mr. Moulton and others may have breached their fiduciary duties to STC and LSU.” The corporation also paid over $600,000 to Scott Draughon, a Florida-based contractor allegedly identified as STC’s attorney, between 2019 and 2022. But Draughon was not licensed

each fall like other agencies over which it has financial oversight. She said she does not expect the council to use its new veto power over the budget.

“I think it will be like every other budget that we get,” she said.

The mosquito district will ask voters to approve a 2.95mill tax on the June 27 ballot, down from 4.2 mills.

The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Stephanie Berault, R-Slidell, has cast her support as part of a larger tax efficiency and accountability initiative that she and other St. Tammany legislators are pursuing in response to the parish’s struggles to fund its criminal justice system.

“The mosquito abatement district will remain intact and will continue to provide the high level of service and protection we have all come to expect,” Berault said in a statement.

to provide legal services to STC, the audit said.

“Mr. Draughon was referred to as STC’s attorney who reviewed, edited, and negotiated changes to public and private contracts on STC’s behalf,” the report said. “However, we found no record that Mr. Draughon is licensed to practice law in Louisiana, and Mr. Draughon is ineligible to practice law in Florida.”

In a letter in response to a draft of the audit dated April 9, Draughon said the services he provided “did not constitute the practice of law and did not require me to be licensed to practice law in the State of Louisiana.”

“Although my experience and training as a lawyer was very helpful and informed my management decision making and performance, these services did not involve me as lawyer for STC or LSU,” Draughon said.

In response to the audit in a letter dated April 29, Rousse said LSU “fully accepts” the findings that STC officials breached fiduciary responsibilities and that LSU did not properly oversee the nonprofit. Though LSU had approved STC as an affiliate in 2015, the corporation had not signed an agreement until May 2023, the audit said.

He said LSU will review how to strengthen its contracts with affiliates and conduct a “comprehensive review” of its relationship with STC. “While current STC management is not implicated in the report, considerable funds were misdirected and misused and, as a result, did not serve the University’s mission,” he said. “LSU will engage law enforcement and pursue all available legal avenues to recover any funds owed to the university.”

A few St. Tammany residents spoke against the legislation at the State Capitol in Baton Rouge.

Terri Lewis Stevens, a former Mosquito Abatement Board member, said she thinks the Parish Council plans to diminish services, including by selling assets and reducing staff, in an effort to further reduce the district’s millage and help get a criminal justice tax passed.

“It is my opinion that the sole intention of this legislation is designed to strip the Mosquito Abatement’s board of directors of their fiscal autonomy to serve the taxpayers,” Stevens said in a text message.

The repeal effort followed a controversy over the district’s finances last year, when some council members and northshore District Attorney Collin Sims scrutinized the district’s $9 million budget and argued the agen-

cy was misspending money, including on a new lab and helicopter.

It came as the parish faced, and continues to face, uncertainty about how it will fund Sims’ office and other criminal justice expenses. Though officials say the mosquito district funds are dedicated and cannot be used for anything else, they have argued the parish needs to pursue a larger tax cutting initiative that will give residents more confidence in how their money is spent. That added confidence might help residents feel better about adopting taxes to help fund criminal justice operations.

But mosquito district officials and supporters argued the helicopter and lab were in line with best practices and filed a lawsuit, later dropped, to protest the council’s probe of its finances.

While the council appoints the members of the mosqui-

to district’s board, it did not, until now, have direct control over the budget.

The district’s five-person board of volunteer commissioners, which has seen some turnover in its membership since the controversy began, also formally expressed support for the repeal in February, though the board’s director later recanted her support.

Mosquito Abatement Director Kevin Caillouet said the district cut its budget by 11% between 2025 and 2026 by allowing some staff positions to go unfulfilled and reducing the travel budget. He said the district has also hired Balmoral Group, a Florida-based consultant, to look at how efficiently the district uses taxpayer dollars to provide its services.

“This is an effort I really wish we had done last year,” Caillouet said.

Legg’s favorite guitar, “Dixie,” was included in recording sessions at Dockside Studio in Maurice, which has become famous for its beat-up, be-stickered body and has appeared on many Legg tracks over the years.

“The Great Unknown”

will be a double album, as they decided not to cut any of Legg’s songs. Sifting through the late artist’s catalog has been bittersweet while bringing a sense of closure, according to Primeaux, who said, “I still talk about him in the present tense, like he’s here. He is here, I guess.

It’s my way of keeping him alive.

“I think I’ve tricked myself along this journey that he’s just on tour in the cosmos, you know. There’s

THE GULF COAST Island View one of the luckiest casinos in U.S., study reveals

BY JUSTIN MITCHELL Staff writer

It’s been a lucky start to the year Mississippi Gulf Coast casinos, where several players have placed bets and won jackpots of $100,000 or more. And in the midst of the big winning streaks, one resort in Gulfport was just named one of the luckiest casinos in the U.S. by Casinos. com, a website that tracks and analyzes gaming and casino promotion success.

Island View Casino Resort in Gulfport was ranked No. 9 on the top 10 list. The property has two gaming floors and hotels across from each other on the U.S. 90 beachfront near downtown Gulfport, Jones Park and

the harbor.

Casinos.com published the study that ranked the luckiest casinos on May 15. The company ranked 108 of the biggest casino resorts in America based on more than 830,000 TripAdvisor reviews. The casinos were then ranked based on reviews and given a score after analyzing mentions of luck and reward-related keywords including jackpot, win and more. From there, a raw luck percentage was generated.

Island View’s raw luck score was 51.49% based on more than 800 reviews, according to the data. No Louisiana casinos ranked in the top 10.

OUR VIEWS

Memorial Day a reminder of what true devotion to country looks like Editor’s note: This editorial, with variations, has been published on previous Memorial Days in this newspaper.

Barbecues, sales, pool parties and an unofficial summer kickoff. For many, those are the things that Memorial Day heralds. The last Monday in May has become a day of celebration and relaxation.

Those current markers of Memorial Day are far from its founding in the aftermath of the Civil War, when community members across the country adorned graves with flowers as a way to remember their war dead.

These days were known as “decoration days,” a solemn commemoration of the toll armed conflict takes. In 1866, a ladies’ group in Columbus, Georgia, lobbied for a specific day on which to place flowers on Civil War-era graves. Then, on May 5, 1868, a group of Union veterans issued an order that was known as the “Memorial Day Act” which is often recognized as the formal start to Memorial Day. In the years since, Memorial Day has been consistently celebrated through two world wars, conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran. In each of these conflicts, American military members have put themselves in harm’s way in service of our country. They left family and loved ones to answer the call to protect our nation. Hundreds of thousands of them never made it home.

Memorial Day should prompt us to think about the sacrifices of those who have raised their hands, taken the oath and offered themselves up in defense of others. For some, that meant the ultimate sacrifice. For others, terrible injuries. For all, we offer our gratitude and respect, sentiments that should be as steadfast as their resolve.

We should also remember that their sacrifices are ongoing — the war in Iran has so far claimed the lives of 13 service members. Tensions roil regions around the globe. American soldiers face peril every day. At home, that means many families’ Memorial Day celebrations are clouded with concern for a loved one on active duty.

In Louisiana, we are fortunate to have thousands of current soldiers stationed in installations across the state, from Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City to Fort Johnson in Leesville to the Naval Air Station in Belle Chase to the Louisiana National Guard Training Center in Pineville. Those Americans could be sent, at a moment’s notice, into battle.

We are not immune to the evolution of Memorial Day from quiet commemoration to summer inauguration.

But this year, as we eat, shop, swim or relax, we urge everyone to offer a solemn remembrance for those who have died, a heartfelt thanks to those who have retired and a fervent prayer for the safety of those still serving.

But without Louisiana giving up those incentives, the deal probably doesn’t get done.

It’s possible that in the future we will regret what the state gave up to get the data center. Maybe the AI economy will go belly up or Meta will decide to go in a different direction. Maybe the same concerns that have led other communities around the country, even those in relatively business-friendly states like Texas, to push back against data center development will also take root here.

Maybe a lot of things will happen.

What is certain, though, is that three years ago, Richland Parish was in the same bleak spiral that much of rural Louisiana faces: poor, declining population, few prospects for a turnaround.

Meta can’t and won’t solve all those problems. It may even create some new ones. But for now, it’s brought a word rarely heard in those parts: potential.

had to do with the ongoing legislative session. But a bigger portion were letters about utilities, which prompted my musings about letter-writing campaigns. We received 42 letters about high electric bills and other utility issues in the course of three days. We usually average around 60 letters a week.

So while I can’t say for sure it was an organized effort, it seems something spurred this unusual outpouring. We have heard loud and clear that this is an issue that matters to a lot of folks.

The next most popular topic also prompted higher-than-average commentary, but this felt more organic given that it was a topic much in the news recently. The Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act prompted 21 letters. Had it not been for the avalanche of writers on utility bills, that would have been the highest weekly total for a single topic so far this year.

It was a busy week, but an eventful one. Though we can’t print all your letters, we are glad to know that we serve an engaged community of readers.

That law allows voters who The driving theory behind the

aren’t registered in a party — a group that now numbers 813,000 strong out of nearly 3 million total voters — to choose whether to take part in the Democratic or Republican Party primary.

The proposed bill would give the party bosses power to restrict participation to only those who are registered Ds and Rs, effectively disenfranchising everyone else in this crucial step of the electoral process.

As state Republican Party Chair Derek Babcock bluntly put it: “Most Republicans I talk to, they want Republicans to pick who the candidate’s going to be.”

The converse is a popular sentiment among some Democratic leaders as well.

But it’s not something most voters are clamoring for. Landry didn’t campaign to make this change when he ran in 2023. And polls show that most Louisiana voters prefer the familiar open primary system that allows everyone to support candidates of their choice, no matter the party.

Add this latest move to the alleged “emergency” congressional

redistricting fight set off by the U.S. Supreme Court’s conveniently timed decision in the Louisiana v.

Callais case, featuring hearings in which Republican lawmakers rudely brushed off concerns over hard-won voting rights, and the only real conclusion is that the politicians in Baton Rouge think they should get to choose their voters, not the other way around.

Consider what’s still happening in the mad dash to complete new House maps. The rough district boundaries are mostly set, but even now, individual lawmakers are shifting the lines around, the better to give them or a friend an uncontested shot or to push a rival into a different, less favorable district. Which of these potential representatives in Washington might be the voters’ actual choice is an afterthought, if it’s a thought at all.

We’ve seen enough of this around the country to know that when politicians pick their voters, one casualty is truly competitive elections featuring diverse points of view.

Consider what happened last

Saturday. Several factors surely fed the low participation, including Landry’s last-minute decision to cancel House races and confusion over the new party primary system.

But also likely contributing was the dispiriting reality that Cassidy and his GOP opponents, state Treasurer John Fleming and Trumpand Landry-backed U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow, basically only spoke to the most conservative voters who would dominate the GOP primary, not anyone who might have even marginally different views.

It’s not really a stretch to describe all this as rigging elections to amplify the voices of those who are most partisan and effectively muting those who don’t subscribe to either party’s orthodoxy. The end goal is not a meaningful debate over ideas. It’s a preferred outcome.

And we wonder why both political parties — not to mention the politicians who perpetuate these schemes — are so unpopular.

Flimsiness of Landry’s so-called mandate never more clear Gov. Jeff Landry was elected with 51.6% of the vote in 2023.

Fewer than 548,000 voters chose Landry to replace Gov. John Bel Edwards.

Landry called it a mandate.

A clear plurality, yes. A clear majority, well, yes. A mandate, no.

In March 2025, the guv had four constitutional amendments on the ballot, things he said needed to be changed, quickly, Will to move the state Sutton forward. He and his super-majority Republican Legislature sought to make more underage suspects subject to more felonies by adding to the list of eligible felony crimes, rewrite the state tax code and, remember this, they wanted to expand the court system.

All four amendments went down in flames.

Each was defeated by more than 60% of the vote. Black, Democratic and liberal-progressive people got the credit. The voter turnout expectation of 12% jumped to a 21% reality, and welove-Jeff-but voters helped.

This month, there were five constitutional amendments on the May 16 ballot. Amendment 1 sought to significantly broaden the number of unclassified state government jobs, giving the Legislature the freedom to reclassify

Amendment 2 would’ve given the new, predominantly White city of St. George its own school district, breaking away from the mostly Black East Baton Rouge Parish school district. Amendment 3 proposed public school teacher pay raises, but only by dissolving long-standing trust funds.

Amendment 4 would’ve given local governments the option to reduce some business property taxes based on inventory.

Amendment 5 would have raised

the retirement age for state judges from 70 to 75, a change that would have affected about 40 judges.

Some quick, postelection analyses pointed to Black power voting and heavy Democratic turnout as the primary reasons why the amendments failed. I saw something different.

Black and Democratic voters may have led the charge, but White, Republican conservatives who once loved Landry have had enough.

More than 70% of the voters in

St. Martin, Landry’s home parish, chose Landry as governor in 2023, but 50% of them voted no on the spring 2025 ballot amendments. This month, his parish voted 54% no on the teacher pay raise and 57% on the business inventory amendment. They voted 62% no on Amendment 2 and a whopping 74% and 75% no on Amendments 1 and 5, respectively.

I looked outside of New Orleans to neighboring suburban parishes.

I saw the same thing. In Jefferson Parish, where the population is roughly 50% White and 50% Black and Latino, more people voted on the amendments (about 71,000 or more on each one) than voted for U.S. Senate closed primary elections (fewer than 65,600), and Jefferson voters overwhelmingly voted no on four of the five amendments.

Cameron Parish is small in Republican southwest Louisiana.

It’s more than 93% White. Four of the five amendments were rejected, with margins of 57%70%.

Livingston Parish is Republican and about 91% White. Voters there said yes to St. George getting its own school district and yes to folding trust funds to give teachers a raise. But Amendments 1, 4, and 5 went down with 74%, 62% and 77% of the votes.

St. Tammany Parish is more than 70% White and Republican.

Shy of 50,400 people voted in the U.S. Senate primaries, but four of the five amendments went down by percentages of 51%-72%.

These are a few examples showing that what happened on May 16 was driven by Black and Democratic voters and buttressed by White Republicans who don’t trust their man Jeff when it comes to fundamental, significant changes.

Landry had a 56% approval rating in early 2024. That dropped to about 51% in late 2025. Now he’s polling about 36%. One recent poll indicated that 58% either disapprove of how Landry is leading or they’re unsure.

These weren’t polls of Black and Democratic people. Each included a cross-section of Louisianans.

Landry has an 0-9 record on constitutional amendments.

There’s a recall Landry movement that’s picked up enough support that GOP operatives decided they had to respond with a “don’t recall” push. Hundreds of people have been showing up to oppose the proposed 5-1 congressional district map pushed by the governor and the Republican-led Legislature, diluting Black representation.

If I were the governor, I’d slow things down, perhaps to a halt, and consider alternative options.

He can start by doing what’s best for Louisiana, not what’s best for President Donald Trump.

Why does AOC think billionaires can’t exist?

There’s also the fact that these enterprises wouldn’t exist absent millions of consumers deciding that they are useful to them.

If Facebook had 300,000 users rather than 3 billion, Mark Zuckerberg wouldn’t be so wealthy.

Defending her categorical dismissal of the possibility of legit billionaires, AOC tried to clarify on X by saying someone can “make” a billion dollars, but that’s different than “earning” it.

She cited as an example Airbnb, blaming it for high housing prices in the United States.

This is a bizarre accusation to make against a platform that simply allows people who want to rent out their homes or apartments on a short-term basis to connect with people interested in renting them. Again, a concern like Airbnb wouldn’t be so successful if people didn’t find it valuable.

site of the approach favored by the socialist AOC. One can, for instance, fairly criticize Elon Musk for getting tax credits for Tesla’s electric cars, but the green-energy extremist AOC actually supported the credits (Trump eliminated them).

The socialist economy envisioned by the likes of AOC would be more static and less free. It would lavish subsidies on businesses engaged in favored activities and punish businesses engaged in disfavored ones. The economy would, in general, be more politicized. There might be fewer billionaires, but we’d be poorer for it.

Despite what AOC thinks, becoming a billionaire isn’t easy, and it’s not possible without creating substantial benefits for the rest of society. Becoming a celebrity congresswoman who is hostile to the sources of American success and who evangelizes for economic ignorance is, unfortunately, much easier.

The same showers and thunderstorms that we’ve been dealing with for the last few days will return once again today. In fact, there is a flood watch in effect through Monday because we could see more than 4 to 6 inches of rain with even higher amounts in some thunderstorms. There is also a slight risk of excessive rainfall that could lead to some measure of flash flooding. Temperatures this afternoon will rise only to the upper 70s to low 80s, and the rain will continue into Memorial Day.

UL keeps season alive with big 8th inning

BY KEVIN FOOTE

ä Late night in Alabama: UL-Texas State

UL needed an offensive breakthrough going into the late innings Saturday afternoon in the Sun Belt Tournament, and the Ragin’ Cajuns got just that against a season-long nemesis.

The Cajuns rallied for six runs in the top of the eighth inning to pick up a 12-6 victory over Texas State in an elimination game at Riddle-Pace Field in Troy, Alabama. The two teams faced off again on Saturday night with the winner advancing the to the Sun Belt championship game set for 1 p.m. on Sunday.

It was the first win for UL (38-22) this season over Texas State (36-23) after falling to

0-4 against the Bobcats on Thursday when Texas State scored four in the bottom of the ninth for a 4-3 win.

“I thought we were a little bit lacking focus for a while (offensively),” UL coach Matt Deggs said about Saturday’s game. “So we talked about it. It just took a little spark, and we got rolling, man.”

Colt Brown and Drew Markle ignited the decisive rally with singles, and Mark Collins tied the game with a double off the wall

Those close to new Pelicans coach Mosley extol his drive

J

BY ROD WALKER Staff writer

amahl Mosley didn’t have his own place or his own car.

All he really had was a dream and a work ethic.

Mosley was in his mid-20s at the time. He had played a few years of professional ball overseas, but he was ready to give that up.

One of the first people Mosley told about his future endeavors was Ronnie DeGray, his former University of Colorado teammate who had become more like a big brother.

DeGray, living in Denver at the time, was surprised. But he knew Mosley well enough to know that if Mosley set out to do something, he would do it. So DeGray made Mosley an offer.

“If you’re serious, you can stay with me and my family,” DeGray told him. “Don’t worry about money.

Grind it out and do what you’ve got to do. He worked his butt off and the rest is history.”

Fast forward 20-something years and Mosley is now the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans. He was hired on Monday, just three weeks after he was fired by the Orlando Magic.

He lasted five years in Orlando, resurrecting a team that won just 21 games the season before he took over.

He led the Magic to the playoffs each

of the past three seasons, but he was let go the day after a Game 7 loss to the No. 1-seeded Detroit Pistons in a series in which the Magic blew a 3-1 lead.

Now he takes over a Pelicans team in the same shape the Magic were in when he took over there. The Pelicans won just 26 games this season after winning only 21 the season before that. It’ll be up to Mosley to turn things around.

He secured the job over a list of finalists that included former All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo, Brooklyn Nets assistant Steve Hetzel, ex-Los

Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham and James Borrego, the Pelicans interim coach this season. When all was said and done, Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations Joe Dumars decided on the most proven coach among the group.

While Mosley never got past the first round in Orlando, his work there earned respect around the league.

He was runner-up for NBA Coach of the Year in the 2023-24 season.

LSU needs to correct many mistakes

Tigers have worst season in more than 40 years In a normal season, Memorial Day weekend would find a buzz of anticipation surrounding the LSU baseball team as the Tigers wait to learn of their seeding and destination for the NCAA Tournament.

Instead, the only sounds to be heard at Alex Box Stadium this weekend are distant thunder and the metallic thrumming of rain falling on the grandstand roof.

After going 30-28 with an abysmal 9-21 record in Southeastern ConferScott ence play, there is a 99.9% Rabalais chance that LSU will not be part of the NCAA’s field of 64 for the first time since 2011 (there was no tournament in 2020). It’s really worse than 99.9%, but I rounded off for brevity.

By any measure, this was LSU’s most dreadful baseball season in more than 40 years, since before Skip Bertman arrived in 1984 to transform the Tigers into the embodiment of the slogan on the back of The Intimidator billboard at The Box: The powerhouse of college baseball. LSU’s overall .517 winning percentage is its worst since 1982, and the Tigers’ .300 SEC winning percentage is their worst since 1978. Perhaps most shocking of all, LSU went 0-16 against teams that finished in the top half of the conference.

Even after losing such stars from the 2025 College World Series championship team like Kade Anderson, Anthony Eyanson and Jared Jones, no one expected the 2026 Tigers to turn into a baseball version of Spirit Airlines. They were preseason No. 2 in most polls, making LSU unquestionably the most disappointing team in the country this year.

How did the Tigers become such a disaster movie? Well, as the Titanic didn’t only sink because it hit the iceberg, there were a combination of factors. Here’s

Kyle Busch died after pneumonia progressed into sepsis

McKINNEY, Texas — Si Woo Kim lost all of the five-shot lead he built a day earlier while flirting with sub-60 history at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

The 30-year-old South Korean still managed to maintain an edge over a couple of major champions, including hometown favorite and reigning champion Scottie Scheffler, heading into the final round.

Kim shot 3-under 68 on Saturday for a two-shot lead over topranked Scheffler and 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, who had matching 65s.

Sungjae Im, Kim’s countryman, followed a second-round 61 with a 67 and was another two shots back with Stephan Jaeger and Tom Hoge. Jaeger’s 64 was the low round of the day at the TPC Craig Ranch, and Hoge shot 66.

BY STEVE REED AP sportswriter

CONCORD,N.C.— Kyle Busch died after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming complications, according to a statement released by his family.

Dakota Hunter, vice president of Kyle Busch Companies, said in a news release the family received the medical evaluation on Saturday.

Busch Busch, a two-time NASCAR champion, died at 41 on Thursday, a day after passing out in a Chevrolet simulator.

Sepsis is considered a life-threatening medical emergency that occurs when the body has an extreme, overactive response to an infection, causing the immune system to damage its own tissues and organs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Typically the immune system releases chemicals to fight off pathogens like bacteria, viruses or fungi, but with sepsis the response goes into overdrive. The results can cause widespread inflammation, form microscopic blood clots and make blood vessels leak.

Busch was thought to have had a sinus cold while racing at Watkins Glen on May 10 and radioed in to his team saying that he needed a “shot” from a doctor after the race. However, he bounced back to win the Trucks Series race at Dover last weekend, and then he finished 17th in the All-Star race on Sunday.

Busch, who was preparing to race Sunday at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, was testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord on Wednesday when he became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte, several people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

During the emergency call placed late that afternoon, an unidentified caller calmly told the dispatch: “I’ve got an individual that’s (got) shortness of breath, very hot, thinks he’s going to pass out, and is producing a little bit of blood, coughing up some blood.”

The caller said Busch was lying on the bathroom floor inside the complex and told dispatch “he is awake,” according to audio provided by the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office. The man then gave directions on where emergency responders should go and asked that they turn off any sirens upon arrival.

NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski said he knew Busch wasn’t feeling well recently.

“Yes, but I won’t go into any specifics,” Keselowski said. “But then when he ran the Trucks race last week, those (thoughts) were honestly kind of erased in my mind.”

Keselowski said running multiple races on the same weekend can be difficult on a driver’s health — but most don’t want to miss a race for fear of being replaced.

“There’s no shortage of drivers that would love to take my seat or anybody else’s seat if we weren’t feeling well, and I think every driver feels that pressure,” Keselowski said.

“All athletes do. It’s not unique to NASCAR in that sense. We’re all thinking to ourselves, ‘I don’t want to be replaced.’ ... So you try to power through it the best you can.”

Keselowski said Busch’s unexpected death has forced him to pay attention to his own health moving forward.

Chase Briscoe said Busch’s health issues served as a “wake-up call” for him and other drivers, who often put aside dealing with potential issues because they are so busy traveling around the country and competing on a weekly basis.

He said if something feels off, “you need to get checked out.”

AP sportswriter

CONCORD, N.C. — NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch found himself in bed scrolling through social media on his phone, growing more depressed with each post he read about Kyle Busch.

For the first time in his life, Zilisch had a hard time getting himself motivated to go to the racetrack.

He’s not the only one grappling with the sudden and tragic death of the sport’s 41-year-old superstar.

On Sunday night, 39 Cup Series drivers return to the track for the Coca-Cola 600 just three days after the death of Busch, who had more wins (234) than anyone across NASCAR’s three national series.

Severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis and resulted in rapid and overwhelming complications that led to Busch’s death, according to a statement released Saturday by his family.

“It just doesn’t feel like a real race weekend,” Zilisch said. “Like the entire vibe in the garage, it’s eerie here.

It’s gloomy. It’s just, it’s going to be tough come Sunday for sure. There’s going to be a lot of emotion. It’s going to be sad.”

Rain washed out qualifying on Saturday and the gray, overcast sky served as a fitting background for the somber mood enveloping Charlotte Motor Speedway and its 11/ 2-mile track.

Former Busch rival Joey Logano said there is simply nothing normal about this weekend.

Struggling Cubs recall OF Alcántara from Triple-A

The scuffling Chicago Cubs recalled outfielder Kevin Alcántara from Triple-A Iowa before their game Saturday against Houston and designated infielder Nicky Lopez for assignment.

The Cubs lost 3-0 against the Astros on Saturday and are 2-11 after a 20-3 run that included two 10-game winning streaks that had propelled them to 27-12, the best record in the majors on May 8.

The 23-year-old Alcántara was batting .242 with 15 home runs and 32 RBIs in 41 games with Iowa. His 15 homers were tied for the most by a Triple-A player entering Saturday. Alcántara has played in 13 games with the Cubs during callups over the past two seasons and has a .238 average with one RBI in 22 plate appearances.

Formula 1 world champion Prost injured by intruders

Swiss police are investigating an alleged robbery amid reports that four-time Formula 1 world champion Alain Prost was injured during a home invasion.

Swiss tabloid Blick reported late Friday that the 71-year-old Prost suffered a head injury from intruders who forced his son to open a safe during the incident Tuesday morning.

“The perpetrators entered the residence while the occupants were present, threatened them, and forced one family member to open a safe before fleeing with the stolen goods,” the public prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

“Despite the extensive search operation launched, the perpetrators have not yet been apprehended at this stage.”

Ionescu ready to make season debut with Liberty

Sabrina Ionescu is ready to make her season debut for New York after suffering a foot injury in the preseason.

The star guard of the Liberty practiced Saturday and said afterward she’s good to go against Dallas on Sunday.

Ionescu, who averaged 18.2 points, 5.7 assists and 4.9 rebounds last season, knew the injury wasn’t major when she went down against Connecticut on May 3.

Coach Chris DeMarco said Ionescu would be on a minutes restriction and with New York playing back-to-back games, he wasn’t sure whether she would also play on Monday against Portland. The Liberty were 3-2 without Ionescu.

New York is still missing Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, who is out for personal reasons. DeMarco said she wouldn’t play Sunday.

LSU

Continued from page 1C the rundown: Injuries: By season’s end, the LSU weekend rotation of starting pitchers — Casan Evans, Cooper Moore and William Schmidt — all missed at least some playing time.

Heavy-hitting right fielder Jake Brown was shelved after breaking a bone in his hand April 19. Outfielder Chris Stanfield, catcher Omar Serna and second baseman Seth Dardar were all in and out of the lineup because of ailments.

Pitching: LSU was first in the SEC in strikeouts, yes, but last in walks and wild pitches, and second to last in team ERA. Several pitchers the Tigers were counting on from 2025 — such as like Zac Cowan, Cooper Williams and Jaden Noot — regressed statistically.

Defense: LSU fielded .981 in 2025 but just .967 this season. Transfers Zach Yorke at first and Trent Caraway at third were never up to the task defensively, mitigating the superb glove of shortstop Steven Milam.

Recruits and transfers: Baseball recruiting is a high-wire act, a balance between signing great players with risk of losing them to a pro contract.

MOSLEY

Continued from page 1C who wanted to remain anonymous had this to say about Mosley and his time in Orlando: “Jamahl did an incredible job of resetting the culture in Orlando by establishing a defensive identity and demanding accountability,” the executive said. “Their offensive players bought into defending every night. The Magic went from a bottomfive defense to one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. That type of transformation starts with the coach setting standards and commitment from the players.”

Mosley knows all about commitment. Ask anyone who has worked with him and the first thing mentioned is his work ethic. DeGray saw it when Mosley got that first gig working as a lowpaid scout and player development coach in Denver.

“He was working damn near 20-hour days,” DeGray said.

“He was staying with us, but we never saw him because he lived in the Pepsi Center (now known as Ball Arena).”

Mosley rarely got a full night’s rest.

There were times when then-Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony would call Mosley in the wee hours of the morning because he wanted to get some shots up in the arena. And there were other times when Kenyon Martin would call at an odd hour because he needed someone to rebound for him.

Mosley would wake up, borrow one of DeGray’s cars and make the drive to the arena.

Mosley’s foot was in the NBA door, and he wasn’t about to let it slam shut on him.

Mosley is 47 now. After his time in Denver, he had coaching stops as an assistant with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks before taking over in Orlando. Now he heads to the Big Easy, where things will be anything but easy as he tries to breathe life into a franchise that has advanced past the first round of the playoffs only twice.

The people who have known Mosley the longest know he will put in the work.

Aki Collins, an assistant at Colorado when Mosley played there, has been in the coaching profession for almost 30 years. He’s spent most of his time on the college level, but he also had a stint with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“Jamahl wasn’t the most talented player that I’ve ever coached,” Collins said.

“But by far, he’s the hardest working player I’ve ever coached. That speaks volumes of who he is.”

Collins keeps up with Mosley and watched the highs and

LSU got hit much harder by the 2025 major-league draft than expected; only eight recruits made it to campus and one of those was injured. LSU then had to fill in with late transfers for whom the gamble didn’t pay off.

Coaching: Jay Johnson and pitching coach Nate Yeskie didn’t forget how to coach after last year, but as Johnson admitted, he didn’t get enough out of this year’s team. At times, Johnson seemed consumed by what he perceived as a lack of financial support compared to other power programs. His comment in early April that he had no interest in following former Tennessee coach Tony Vitello in becoming a major league manager “at this time” sounded like a veiled threat.

The chapter on the 2026 season is closed. The question now is whether Johnson can craft a roster to help LSU return to Omaha in 2027.

A lot has to go right for the Tigers to make that trip. With Derek Curiel, Brown and Stanfield leaving, LSU must rebuild the outfield. If Johnson puts promising freshman Mason Braun out there, he will have to find a new first baseman unless fellow freshman William Patrick can fill one of the spots.

LSU likely has to replace Milam at shortstop and

find a new third baseman.

Can LSU keep both catchers Cade Arrambide and Omar Serna happy enough to stay? Their combination of catching and being the designated hitter may do the trick, but it’s not a given. Johnson needs both, along with Braun, to be the core of the 2027 offense.

There are positives.

LSU signed 24 players to the nation’s No. 2-ranked recruiting class. More freshmen are sure to find their way to campus next year than they did this year. And frankly, the fact that the season is over puts Johnson and his staff in a better position to take advantage of the transfer portal when it opens June 1. They’ll also be better prepared to fill any holes poked in the Tigers’ recruiting class after the draft (July 11-12).

If there’s anything that is certain, it’s that Johnson is already working hard on building next year’s team.

If LSU doesn’t return to the CWS, it won’t be because he didn’t put in the hours.

But unlike this year, there won’t be a broad assumption that the Tigers will make it. The question going into 2026 was could LSU repeat. The operative phrase going into 2027 is “wait and see.”

MOSLEY ADDS SHAMMGOD TO COACHING STAFF New Orleans coach Jamahl Mosley is starting to assemble his coaching staff.

God Shammgod will join Mosley’s staff as an assistant coach, a source confirmed to The Times-Picayune on Saturday.

Shammgod, 50, spent this season with the Orlando Magic under Mosley.

Prior to his one season in Orlando, Shammgod was a player development coach for the Dallas Mavericks from 2019-25.

Before that, he was a player development coach at Providence, his alma mater.

Shammgod helped lead Providence to the Elite Eight of the 1997 NCAA Tournament.The former point guard, who played 20 games in the NBA with the Washington Wizards, was known for his elite ballhandling skills during his playing days.

Two other assistants on the Orlando coaching staff — Bret Brielmaier and Dale Osbourne — also could join the Pelicans coaching staff. Brielmaier and Osbourne both arrived in Orlando in 2021 when Mosley took over.

Prior to that, Brielmaier was an assistant with the Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers.

Osbourne’s previous stop was with the Portland Trail Blazers, where he was an assistant coach under Terry Stotts from 2012-21.

Rod Walker lows of his time in Orlando.

“Because of who he is and the person I know, I bet he’s taken some time to think about what he could have done better,” Collins said.

“He’s reflective enough as a young man and his ego is not so big that he can’t look in the mirror and say, ‘Hey Jamahl, what did you do wrong or what could you have done better?’ As a competitor and a professional, he’ll look in the mirror and if he’s in the same situation again and say, ‘How do I get a different outcome?’ That’s how he is and what he’s going to be about.”

Defense and player development are Mosley’s strong suits, evident by the Magic being one of the top three defensive teams in the league in two of the last three seasons.

Mosley loves the details.

When he took over in Orlando, he installed a bell in the practice facility. Whenever someone took a charge or blocked a shot or dove on the floor, the bell would ring. It was Mosley’s way of drilling into his players’ heads the importance of making those type of plays during games.

Those plays often separate the average teams from the great ones.

While Collins raves about Mosley the coach, he gives just as much praise to Mosley the person.

“You don’t have to feed his ego to make him feel important,” Collins said. “People gravitate to guys like him because he’s real. There’s nothing pretentious about him.”

Despite Mosley being a good guy, he has a toughness about him, too.

Just ask Jaquay Walls, who played with Mosley at Colorado. Walls recalls a particular game against rival Colorado State.

“We hated those guys and they hated us,” Walls said.

“There was a little dust-up and Jamahl was right in the thick of it. I’m not saying he was the only one, but he was the first one. From that day on, Jamahl was my mom’s favorite player.“ That toughness checks one of the main boxes Dumars was looking for in a coach.

“We cannot get banged around, pushed around,” Dumars said in April. “We have to be physical and compete every night.”

It’ll be up to Mosley to instill that toughness. His college buddies surely believe in him.

“Looking back at it, you can see why he’s where he is,” Walls said. “He was one of those dudes that always did and said the right things.”

Mosley, Walls, DeGray and a few of their college teammates are in a group chat.

Almost 25 years after their playing days, they make sure to keep up with each other.

They text during the tough times, like when Mosley was fired.

“Keep grinding, Bro. You’ll be back in no time,” Walls wrote.

And they text during the good times, like when Mosley landed a job just three weeks later.

“Back like you never left.”

Not that anyone in the group chat was surprised.

They knew Mosley would bounce back. They’ve seen him grind, living by the words their college coach Ricardo Patton hung in the Colorado locker room: “Who are you when no one is looking?”

Smith knows exactly who Mosley is.

“I guarantee you this: Jamahl is a workaholic.”

UL relief pitcher Parker Smith throws a pitch in a game against Texas State on Saturday in Troy, Ala. Smith pitched five innings to finish off the Bobcats, giving up two runs on three hits with one walk and two strikeouts on 70 pitches.

Continued from page 1C in right. Maddox Mandino continued his stellar tournament performance with a two-run single up the middle to give the Cajuns the lead in the eighth.

Steven Spalitta added an RBI single to center for a three-run cushion. After an error kept the inning alive, Brown got his second single of the inning — this one driving home two more runs.

Donovan LaSalle later smashed his second tworun homer of the game — this one traveling a distrance of 456 feet — to allow the UL pitching staff to travel on easy street in the ninth inning.

“Donnie had a great day, huge impact,” Deggs said.

LaSalle became the first UL hitter to reach 10 homers on the season.

Ace UL reliever Parker Smith steadied things until the seventh when Justin Vossos led off with a double and scored on Cotton’s sacrifice fly to left to put Texas State up 5-4.

After Carter allowed two runs on four hits, one walk and struck out two in two innings, Smith turned in a spectacular effort. In his fourth appearance of the week, Smith pitched five innings to finish off the Bobcats, giving up two runs on three hits with one walk and two strikeouts on 70 pitches.

“That’s as good as I’ve ever seen him, man,” Deggs said of Smith. “I am so happy for him. He looks like a future starter down the road. He was up to 94.”

Papenbrock struggled with his command, but the lineup had his back.

UL got two runs in the second on a long two-run shot from LaSalle after a leadoff walk to Markle.

In the third, Blaze Rodriguez and Noah Lewis both walked and scored on a Lee Amedee RBI single and a run-scoring double from Markle for a 4-1 lead.

But Papenbrock gave up two runs in the third on a Jackson Cotton two-out, two-run single.

White confident UL has improved roster

BY KEVIN FOOTE Staff writer

UL men’s basketball coach Quannas White wishes some of his players who entered the transfer portal after last season would have stayed with the Ragin’ Cajuns.

In this era, though, the only real way to react to the bad news is to create better news with crafty acquisitions.

White is convinced the Cajuns did just that during this offseason.

“Unfortunately, we lost some guys we wanted to keep and bring back,” White said. “But it allowed us, when we lost those guys, to get better. I think our roster is better this year than it was last year.

We’ve got some front-court depth and got a ton of experience.”

From the first day last season, White preached that the development of players is the backbone of his program. His philosophy hasn’t changed, but many of the newcomers are seniors.

“All of these guys we’re bringing in, bring a ton of experience, they’re older,” White said. “I think our roster got better. You have a talented, talented group that I think is going to do something special this year.

“But you are who you are. We’re still a development program.”

Even though Dorian Finister elected to transfer to Charlotte, White points to how much better he got during his season at UL compared with his previous two stops.

“Just look at the 3-point percentage from his time from Sam Houston to now,” White said. “At one point last season, he was shooting 50% from the three and finished right at 37%. The year before, he shot 28%.”

true freshman Isaiah Wilks for this coming season.

“So now you’ve got multiple guys that can play that position and can handle the ball and get into the paint and create opportunities for their teammates,” White said. “So I’m really excited about this team. I can’t wait until they get here.”

The new players are expected to arrive in Lafayette between June 2-5, before summer workouts officially begin June 8.

Wilks will be an interesting true freshman to follow. He replaces Mike Collins as the developmental point guard.

Wilks was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Oklahoma after leading his team to a state championship and is the son of Thunder assistant coach Mike Wilks.

“I think the environment that he’s coming from gives him an upper hand on just any freshman that’s coming into a program, being around his dad who played in the NBA,” White said. “From time to time, he spends time working out with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was the MVP of the NBA. “When you are in that environment, you come in more ready to play than half the freshmen across the country.”

Remembering ‘Soul,’ a bass player who never left the groove alone

Mail time

Last February, I asked for flowers of praise for Lee Allen Zeno. A master bass player for 64 years, Zeno toiled in the shadows of the stage and studio, backing up stars like multiple-Grammy winners Buckwheat Zydeco and Buckwheat Zydeco Jr., King of Rock ‘n’ Soul Solomon Burke, country great Charlie Rich, Soul Queen of New Orleans Herman Irma Thomas Fuselier and many, many others.

Zeno was never a headliner, but he was beloved by musicians and fans who tuned into his golden groove. Friends tagged him with the appropriate nickname, “Soul.”

Zeno battled cancer for decades and announced in February that he had enough. He was ending chemotherapy and spending his remaining days with family and music. He died May 3 at his residence in Lafayette. He was 71.

Too often, we ignore socalled sidemen like Zeno or wait until they’re gone to sing their praises. I’m happy to say people responded to the call for bouquets while Zeno was still with us.

Emails, texts and calls to my original column were strong.

There were even seldom-seen, handwritten notes.

The fifth annual Postcard Project is officially open. This year, a kindergarten class started it off — entirely by accident.

s we launch the fifth annual Postcard Project, I have to say — it still surprises me.

When we started it in 2022, I expected it to be a one-time thing. A summer experiment.

A way to see whether people still believed in the mail enough to use it.

They did.

So we did it again. And again. And again.

One thing we’ve learned over five years: finding a postcard is harder than it used to be.

Stores that once stocked spinning racks of them have stopped. Even hotel gift shops often come up empty. In 2025, a reader in West Virginia visited eight different places before she found one to send.

In 2024, bass player Lee Allen Zeno played at the 37th annual Zydeco Extravaganza at Parc International in Lafayette.

The 40th annual Festival International de Louisiane in downtown Lafayette did a tribute, “Blue Monday Allstars Celebrate Lee Allen Zeno.”

Mayor-President Monique Boulet presented a proclamation in his honor. Zeno was too sick to attend.

But Zeno was still playing during the finale of a sold-out Louisiana Crossroads show at the Acadiana Center for the Arts. More than 30 musicians played throughout the program that celebrated the Medicine Show, a series of music fundraisers that established the Tommy Comeaux Endowed Chair in Traditional Music at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

Zeno was grooving in the background as usual. But as emcee, I sneaked up behind Zeno to share his history and fate with the audience. The standing ovation was long and loud for Zeno, who was touched by the response.

He served as an instructor with the University of Louisiana Lafayette’s traditional music program. I asked his advice for students.

“If you’re going to play — play. If you’re not going to play, leave it alone,” he said.

Thanks for never leaving the groove alone, Mr. Lee. Thanks to all who helped him see, feel and enjoy his flowers.

Get to picking while the picking is good

Prairieville farm offers up berry good time Jessica Stuntz, left, and her daughter Elaina Stuntz pick fresh blueberries last year at Waughsome Farms in Prairieville.

STAFF FILE PHOTO By HILARy SCHEINUK

BY JOY HOLDEN Staff writer

Fresh blueberries warmed by the Louisiana sun are ready for picking at Waughsome Farm, 40269 Abby James Road, in Prairieville. The pick-your-own fruit farm opened May 16 and berries are expected to last for the next five to six weeks.

Owner Mike Waugh says that this season is leading with more blueberries than blackberries and that blueberries are bursting off the bushes this month.

He says the last frost in midMarch hit a lot of farms further north and destroyed their crop, but it missed Waughsome Farm.

“We have a lot of blueberries to pick, and the blackberries are coming. They get rolling closer to Memorial Day,” Waugh said.

“It should be a good season for both of them. It’s just funny how the timing is a little different every year.”

Open days and hours will vary, according to the season, weather

Summer books offer something for every kind of reader Danny Heitman D anny H eitman Dan I’ve been reading “The Correspondent,” Virginia Evans’ bestselling novel about a modern retiree, Sybil, who composes handwritten letters to acquaintances near and far. She even writes notes to authors of books she’s just read, perfectly at ease dropping a few lines to Ann Patchett, Joan Didion or Larry McMurtry.

It’s how Sybil continues the thread of thought she’s traced through their books.

Though few of us would follow Sybil’s example, I’m drawn to her sense of reading as a discussion between reader and writer, an idea with special resonance here in Louisiana. We value lively talk in this part of the world, and books, at their best, can be a memorable form of conversation.

In the spirit of celebrating that connection, I offer some ideas at this time of the year for great summer reads. This isn’t meant to be a Top 10 list; I’m just talking up a few books I’ve recently enjoyed

and that you might like, too.

I’ll start with “Rebecca Sue,” a wonderful new memoir by Kathleen Norris about the author’s bond with her mentally and physically challenged sister. Norris has written beautifully about matters of the soul in books such as “The Cloister Walk” and “Amazing Grace,” and what I like best about her work is the way it tries to reconcile the high ideals of spirituality with the often messy realities of daily life. In this way, “Rebecca Sue” is vintage Norris.

I found a similar sensibility in

“Ordinary Time,” a new memoir

by Annie B. Jones that explores “lessons learned while staying put.” Jones once thought her grown-up life would bring glamour and adventure in a big city.

Instead, she wound up running a bookstore in a small Georgia town. With an open heart that refrains from bland earnestness, Jones writes about how she’s found a deeply meaningful life in a part of the country that many of us would overlook.

Like Jones, poet Connie Wanek is keenly attentive to how what

we call “ordinary life” can yield moments of mystery and wonder.

It’s why “How to Sing for Money,” her recent collection of poems, has been such an abiding companion for me. One of my favorite poems in the book is “Avocado,” which follows a family uncle as he shops for his wife. Like most husbands with a grocery list, he’s hard-pressed to fulfill the directions he’s been given. In 14 lines, Wanek has aptly summarized the foibles of matrimony.

Another recent favorite is “Bookish,” British writer Lucy

Mangan’s love letter to the joys of reading.

“I’ve come to realize that possibly the greatest of books’ virtues is patience,” she writes. “They will wait for us to get to them, they will wait for us to return to them, they will allow as many repeat visits to their pages as you ever want.”

All the more reason to enjoy books this summer, and every season of the year.

TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER

By Christopher Elliott

Italy’s ITA Airways making it impossible to get a medical refund I booked two ITA Airways tickets for travel from Chicago to Turin, Italy, four months ago. Shortly after I made my reservation, I learned I could not travel due to primary osteoarthritis in my right hip.

I submitted a medical certificate from my orthopedic surgeon covering the travel dates and requested a refund for my ticket and a date change for my wife’s ticket. ITA initially confirmed it received the documentation, but Christopher later denied my refund, claiming the certificate Elliott lacked a “prognosis” covering the travel dates.

ITA wouldn’t specify what additional information was required, and phone support couldn’t connect me to anyone who could resolve the issue. How can I get ITA to honor

the refund or allow the ticket transfer as its customer service promised? — Daniel Lichtblau, Champaign, Ill. Ouch! I’m sorry to hear about your hip diagnosis. Primary osteoarthritis can cause significant pain and reduce mobility, and it’s completely understandable that a long transatlantic flight would be impossible for you.

You acted responsibly by obtaining medical documentation and promptly submitting it to ITA Airways. Refunds are never guaranteed when you have a medical condition, but if an ITA representative asked you for the medical paperwork, chances are you met all the criteria.

The difficulty here stems from

t s e t e e w S

ITA’s specific requirements for medical refunds. It wants a certificate that not only lists a diagnosis but also includes a prognosis specifying the exact dates you are unable to travel. While your original note did indicate your inability to fly, ITA insisted it didn’t meet its definition of “prognosis.” This can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve done everything correctly.

To resolve this, request a revised letter from your surgeon explicitly stating the period during which you were unfit to fly — from the date of diagnosis through your expected recovery. Make sure it is on official letterhead, signed and clearly lists the start and end dates. Keep a detailed paper trail of all correspondence, including

6: Class of 202

emails, call logs, and written confirmations.

Under U.S. and state consumer protection laws, airlines must provide accurate guidance about their refund requirements. While your ticket is technically nonrefundable, ITA, like other airlines that promise medical exceptions, must give you a fair chance to meet its criteria. If internal appeals fail, you can file complaints with the U.S. Department of Transportation or your state attorney general’s consumer protection office to ensure the airline adheres to its policies.

Alternatively, you can appeal your case to someone higher up at ITA. I list the names, numbers and email addresses of key ITA

customer service executives on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org.

After my advocacy team contacted ITA Airways on your behalf, it processed a refund for one of your tickets. Unfortunately, ITA declined to give your wife a credit or allow a transfer of her ticket.

Your case shows that persistence, clear documentation, and advocacy can make a real difference — even when an airline mishandles a medical refund request.

WATCH OUT

A new Swatch model is introduced, and a case study in overexcited ‘drop culture’ plays out

BY LAURIE KELLMAN

PHOTO By ANTHONy ANEX/KEySTONE

Royal Pop watches by Swatch and Associated Press Audemars Piguet sit May 16 at LONDON — In Paris, police de- the Swatch Drive-Thru Store next ployed tear gas. In Milan, Italy, a to Swatch headquarters in Biel/ fistfight erupted. In London, Sin- Bienne, Switzerland.

gapore and New York, all-night queues snaked from the doors of Swatch stores — the latest examples of status-symbol “drop culture” to flash across the globe when status symbols and resale value collide.

The company at the center of it all, Swatch, no stranger to overthe-top retail outbreaks, said it was time to chill. The Swiss watchmaker said Monday that there’s no shortage of its Royal Pop pocket watch, a collaboration with Audemars Piguet’s luxury timepieces.

All for a “bioceramic” timekeeper that retails for around $400 — but perhaps more to the point, resells for thousands of dollars.

By Monday, the candy-colored flex objects proliferated on eBay, with one boasting: “IN HAND!!!

Swatch x AP Royal Pop,” for $4,092.31 “or Best Offer.”

It was the latest eruption in a generation-long trail of consumerist frenzy — both online and in the physical world — that has touched companies from Nike to Walmart to Apple as human beings race, sometimes frantically, to keep pace with buying trends and the potential for resale.

“It looks like people got crazy to get a Royal Pop to make money through resale, not because they are fans of the Swatch,” said Pierre-Yves Donze, a business history professor at Osaka University Graduate School of Economics. “People want money, especially. Royal Pop is not like a cool product, but a way to make easy money.”

That’s a change, he said in an email, from past product drops from Swatch and other brands that benefit from the reach of social media to create the appearance, at least, of overwhelming demand. Previously, he said, people spent the money on buzzy objects because “they wanted to have it in their collection.”

Swatch did not respond to a question about its products being resold way above retail. But in a statement to The Associated Press, the company pointed at demand and retailers. It said that in about 20 of Swatch’s 220 stores worldwide where the Royal Pop was launched, “challenges arose on launch day because the queues of interested customers were exceptionally long and the organization of some shopping malls was not sufficient to handle this level of turnout.”

An internet-fueled frenzy On social media, the Royal Pop has received over 11 billion views since the launch, the statement said.

It compared the Royal Pop to that of the MoonSwatch launch during the pandemic in March 2022 in partnership with sister company Omega. Then, a similar swoon appeared to ensue: masked people could be seen on social media from Singapore to Sydney, running apparently to Swatch stores.

Swatch has more than four decades of experience with hype.

In 1984, it suspended a 13-ton yellow Swatch from a building in Frankfurt, Germany, around the same time people started donning its innovative timekeepers

that were mass produced, affordable and very different from traditional heirlooms. People old and young began wearing timepieces in “White Memphis” and “Chrono-tech,” with its primary color hands.

This past weekend, the Swatch store in festive Carnaby Street again drew a line of people, this time ahead of the release of the Royal Pop. A mob of several dozen blocked the sidewalk at the Swatch store on nearby Oxford Street on Sunday, just before it opened. Then, police closed all Swatch stores in London and several other U.K. cities. News outlets around the world reported similar scenes, with shuttered stores in the Netherlands and a “mosh pit” vibe in New York’s Times Square.

In France, police used both tear gas grenades and tear gas spray to disperse crowds that gathered outside the country’s Swatch boutiques, the national police service said.

It said officers used gas grenades at the sprawling Westfield Parly 2 shopping mall west of Paris, where TV footage also showed officers with riot shields and helmets stationed outside the watchmaker’s outlet, its shutters down. Officers in the southeast city of Lyon also deployed a gas grenade when a crowd ignored repeated warnings to disperse on the city’s Bellecour public square, while municipal police in the southern city of Montpellier used tear gas spray, the police service said. It said crowds gathered peacefully outside Swatch outlets in other towns.

Swatch France posted on Instagram that “because of public security considerations,” its stores in a half dozen French locations were closed for the day.

Supply and demand The company, meanwhile, issued a statement assuring people that the Royal Pop will be available for months.

The pocket watch launched only in retail stores and was not available online — a risky move, some critics said, because the atmosphere was likely amped up by the big money at stake for the resellers in line. There were sporadic injuries reported as well as some arrests and property damage.

To many companies, the liability risk of the hype is too high.

“A lot of the streetwear drops and sneaker drops that used to happen when I was younger, all of them have moved online because of safety concerns,” said Odunayo Ojo, a London-based fashion and cultural critic, said on his YouTube channel, Fashion Roadman. Either Swatch “didn’t get the memo,” he said, underestimated the draw to the new product or strategically hyped the drop to pump sales.

“Swatch already has a track record of understanding how these things go,” Ojo said.

By Monday, the lines had died down, perhaps because, as onlookers near a Swatch store in Paris said, there were no Royal Pop watches left in stores. New shipments, they’d heard, were on the way.

Dear Harriette: I’m in the process of looking for an apartment with two of my friends before heading into my senior year of college.

Their budget is a little lower than mine, making it unrealistic for us to get an apartment near school, nor get the amenities that I want.

A dishwasher and in-unit washer and dryer would make my life way easier, and it’s looking like that’s unlikely. Recently, another friend who has a similar budget to mine asked if I would like to look for apartments with her.

I’m at a crossroads, and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want my original two friends to get mad at me for deciding to get an apartment with someone else,

but I would be able to live closer to school and get the amenities I want. I think I’m leaning toward getting the apartment with the other friend closer to school.

How can I break the news to my friends with minimal fallout? — Apartment Hunting Dear Apartment Hunting: Think about who you believe you would be most comfortable living with among your friend choices. The biggest challenge will be being in the company of these people on a daily basis. Think about personalities, anything you know about how they live now, etc.

If you still think that the person with the bigger budget is right for you, go to your other friends and

tell them that you have changed your mind and you no longer want to move with them. Be honest but not brutal. Explain that you want to live closer to campus and you want certain amenities that aren’t in the collective budget. Since that is important to you, you will be seeking accommodations that match your desires. Tell them as soon as possible so that they don’t get caught without enough support to be able to meet their needs.

FARM

Continued from page 1D and available ripe fruit. Waughsome Farm will post open days and hours at least a day in advance. The farm will close early if they run out of fruit or if there is inclement weather, including lightning, in the area.

Check the farm’s website or Facebook page before heading over for last-minute announcements.

The farm will be open this week from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Memorial Day, May 25.

New pricing process Waughsome Farm has changed the pricing scale for this season.

Last year, the buckets were measured by volume — $10 a quart, but this year, they will be measured by weight — $8 a pound.

Also, each bucket will have a bag inside, and when customers go to check out, the bag will be lifted out, weighed and then sent home with them. Generally, a 1-gallon picking bucket can hold 5 to 6 pounds of picked fruit.

Waugh says this new process should speed things up and make it more fair.

Owner Chairity Waugh chats with a guest while readying their freshly picked blueberries and blackberries to go home last year at Waughsome Farms in Prairieville.

There is no entry fee, and fruit pickers can bring their own bags and containers to bring the fruit home after it’s weighed and paid for. Waugh says refrigerating or freezing the berries as soon as possible is the best route to preserve them.

Another new option is the Waughsome Farm-branded “Golden Bucket” for $40 that you can take home.

Any fruit picked into the onegallon Golden Bucket will be 50% off for the current season, and

POSTCARD

Louisiana artist Rosemary Goodell painted this scene, creating a postcard for the 2026 Postcard Project, while vacationing in Taos, N.M.

Continued from page 1D For multiple summers, a reader named Michael G. has sent postcards he made himself from the ends of Kleenex boxes, the fronts of cereal boxes and the backsides of campaign mailers.

So for year five, all postcards are welcome — store-bought, vintage, homemade, improvised.

To spark inspiration for readers, I texted a few artist friends to ask whether they’d be willing to make a postcard, photograph it and mail it in.

Rosemary Goodell got right to work and sent an image of a postcard she painted earlier this week while vacationing in New Mexico.

Barbara Hoffman sent an image of a quilted postcard she made and is already mailing. My husband did a quick sketch of a Mississippi River bridge.

Then I texted Kelli Scott Kelly.

Kelly is a prominent visual artist who teaches at LSU and is known for her work with vintage fabrics and found objects.

When I pulled up her name in my phone, it appeared as “Kelly Kelly.” I thought to myself, “I thought she spelled her first name with an i.” But I sent the text anyway, included a link to a previous year’s launch column and two photographs of homemade postcards.

She responded immediately.

She would be happy to make one, she said, and asked whether the postcard needed to be Louisianathemed. “That works,” I wrote back, “but it can really be about anything you’d like.” She said she was going to have her whole class make postcards.

LSU is out of class. But I figured she must be teaching something special and moved on.

The next morning, she texted: “Ok! So are we just designing the front? Or do we write something too?”

I told her ideally both — that the messages are often the best part, that the project runs through Labor Day and that I write about its progress throughout the summer.

She wrote back: “My kids painted the front. What kind of message should they write on back?”

My kids.

I told her whatever they’d like.

I mentioned that many of the college-aged interns who help with the project have never mailed anything, that messages from previous years have come from all over the world and said things I still think about.

10% off for later seasons — only one golden bucket per person. The discount is limited to one gallon of fruit per visit.

To provide the best experience, check whether reservations are required before your visit. The number of open reservations is based on the amount of fruit available to pick. If reservations are not specifically mentioned on the Facebook page or website, then it’s first-come, first-served.

Baton Rouge quilter Barbara Hoffman quilted this postcard of fabric and mailed it in to help launch the 2026 Postcard Project.

PROVIDED PHOTO An hour later, she sent a photograph of the bag of finished postcards. The inscription on the outside read: “To: Jan ª Mrs. Kelly.”

That’s when it landed.

Somewhere in the momentum of texting, I had completely forgotten that earlier this year that I met another Kelly Kelly. She teaches kindergarten at University Lab School.

A neighbor’s child is in her class.

I had texted the kindergarten teacher.

The postcards the 5-year-olds created are extraordinary — Louisiana through and through: snoballs, alligators, crawfish, king cakes, beads and beignets. Beautifully painted. The full confidence of people who have not yet learned to second-guess themselves.

When I reached out to Kelli Scott Kelly to tell her the story, she chuckled along with me and said, “Well, that was what was supposed to have happened.”

And, I think she’s right.

The kindergartners inspired a new goal that a reader suggested last year: Getting postcards from as many places across Louisiana as possible, not just from the state as a whole.

If you’re in Natchitoches, Cut Off, Dry Prong, Shreveport, Waterproof, Bunkie, Zwolle or anywhere in between, consider this an invitation.

The rest of the world is out there, too. Send bought, found, painted, quilted, cut from a cereal box or drawn by a 5-year-old who signs things with a heart postcards. The goal includes any and everywhere Louisiana, all 50 states and as many countries as possible.

Send postcards to: Jan Risher, The Advocate, 10705 Rieger Road, Baton Rouge, LA 70809.

The 2026 Postcard Project runs through Labor Day.

Memories recall a lighter version of mac and cheese Simple recipe also more cost-efficient

Baked Macaroni and Cheese

BY DEBRA BROUSSARD TAGHEHCHIAN

Yields 8 1-cup servings.

Recipe is by Debra Broussard Taghehchian.

Contributing writer

“Have you noticed?” I asked.

“Oh yeah, I have noticed. The price of our groceries has really gone up,” said my friend Mary. “I am having to adjust the way I cook. It made me start thinking about how our parents and grandparents cooked and were able to feed everyone on their limited budgets.”

“And you know, kids these days are so stuck on eating mac and cheese and chicken nuggets. These items can get expensive. And, moreover, these highly processed foods are not that good for them,” I explained. “I started making my mac and cheese the way my mom would make it, and the kids really like it.”

“Well, I want that recipe,” Mary said.

When I was growing up, macaroni and cheese was not served very often. Usually, we would have it as part of our Sunday lunch served alongside a beef roast or a roasted hen. We would also have fresh vegetables from the garden and sliced cantaloupe.

As I look over today’s popular recipes for mac and cheese, many of them call for three cheeses blended into a white sauce and poured into a baking dish. This is then topped with even more cheese and baked. No doubt it is delicious, but quite frankly, it is very calorie-dense.

The recipe we used, as with most of my recipes, has just a few easily found ingredients. We always had eggs and milk on the farm, so all we had to buy was the macaroni and the cheese.

The cheese selected for this recipe has a history in American gastronomy. I use deluxe pasteurized process American cheese. This is not to be confused with Velveeta. This product is made using real milk and emulsifying salts for a creamer, richer flavor and melt. It was first developed as a cheese that would be shelfstable and was distributed to low-income families, the elderly and food banks.

Lots of wonderful grilled cheese sandwiches were made with that cheese. It was also stirred into grits and casseroles.

Just for a change, try this recipe. The sauce that is created is lighter in flavor than a three-cheese mac and cheese. The melted cheese blends with the milk, making for a silky sauce.

The gunman, Salvador Ramos, a former student at the school, was also killed. It was the deadliest shooting at a U.S. elementary school since the 2012 attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

Also on this date: In 1844, Samuel F.B. Morse transmitted the message “What hath God wrought” from Washington to Baltimore as he formally opened America’s first telegraph line.

In 1883, New York’s Brooklyn Bridge, at the time the world’s longest suspension bridge, opened to traffic.

In 1935, the first Major League Baseball game to be played at night took place at Cincinnati’s Crosley Field as the Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1.

In 1937, in a pair of rulings, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Social Security Act of 1935.

In 1941, during World War II, the German battleship Bismarck sank the British battle cruiser HMS Hood in the North Atlantic, killing all but three of the 1,418 men on board.

(The Bismarck would be sunk by British battleships three days later.)

In 1962, astronaut Scott Carpenter became the second American to orbit the Earth as he flew aboard the Aurora 7 Mercury spacecraft.

In 1974, American jazz composer and bandleader Duke Ellington, 75, died in New York.

In 1994, four Islamic extremists convicted of bombing New York’s World Trade Center in 1993 were each sentenced to 240 years in prison.

In 2021, the European Union agreed to impose sanctions on Belarus over the forced diversion of a Ryanair jetliner flying from Greece to Lithuania to arrest journalist Raman Pratasevich, a key foe of authoritarian Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

And the answer to that is yes. Wait for a pause in the conversation, say how delightful it has been to catch up, and go. After two hours, the only question your friends will ask is, “Now why didn’t I think of that?”

Dear Miss Manners What is the etiquette for commenting on someone’s weight? It is a close friend and neighbor who is stout, but not obese. I was chided for not noticing their weight loss, so I am asking for input.

As a rule, I avoid talking or asking about someone’s weight loss or gain, lest it be taken as rude or insensitive.

Saying something like, “Oh, I see you have lost weight” could imply that I thought she was overweight before, or that I am cruel and uncaring if she is dealing with illness.

Gentle Reader: This is definitely a trap, because you are right not to comment. But how to avoid being snared will de-

pend on who did the chiding.

If it was the stout-but-notobese neighbor, then stall while you try to find out what is going on: “I am so sorry I didn’t say anything. Please tell me about it.”

You can then either protest that you did not comment because she always looks so good (in the case of deliberate weight loss) or because you really just want to know how she is feeling (in the case of illness).

If a third party is prompting you to comment, then Miss Manners strongly urges you to thank them — and do nothing of the sort.

Don’t forget to wipe the handles on carts Dear Heloise: We enjoy your tips and knowledge, but we do have a comment regarding the person that only uses the store wipes when leaving the store. My husband and I are both military veterans and shop at our local Hints from base commisHeloise sary (grocery store). Whenever we shop there (or other stores), we insist that we use the wipes. The reason for this is that one year, my husband obtained a cart for us and was using it to shop. Within a day, he was sick, so we looked at the back of his throat. We’ve never seen a clear uvula hanging down at the back, but there it was.

I rushed him to our local urgent care. We’re glad that we did as the doctor was able to diagnose him with a foreign type of strep throat. He stated

that he knew about this when he was overseas but had never seen it in the United States.

We told the doctor that all we did was shop at our local commissary, where there are many people from different areas of the U.S. and other countries. So, he suggested that each and every time we shop, we should wipe down the carts, especially the handles.

We now do this wherever we shop. — L. and P., military veterans

False medical claims Dear Heloise: I’m writing in response to your reply to Coleen, in Maryland, regarding concerns that nonmedical personnel at insurance companies make decisions about patients’ health and medical necessity. There are several factors to consider regarding the oversight roles of insurance companies: n Systemic fraud: Millions of dollars are paid annually for unnecessary tests

or services that were never performed. Addressing this fraud is a critical component of industry oversight. n Documentation requirements: Often a denial occurs because a provider failed to submit the necessary clinical documentation to support the medical necessity of a test.

When a practice submits a prior authorization, it’s their responsibility to provide the required clinical information.

It’s important to look at the broader context of healthcare costs, including high charges that are associated with emergency room visits for minor issues.

I encourage consumers to review their plan options carefully prior to purchasing them and consider how their clinical information is shared between the providers and insurers. — Cheryl, in Texas Cheryl, insurance fraud, as you mentioned, is a serious matter and can send someone

to prison with a large fine. In the end, it’ll ruin their future in a number of ways. The huge dollar amount that fraudsters expect to receive is usually cut down in an appeals court, and their attorneys will expect to be paid a part of their winnings. It’s a long, drawn-out procedure, and the stress alone is hard on everyone involved. So, think twice before filing a false claim! — Heloise

Home canning Dear Heloise: Every year, I do some home canning of the fruits and vegetables that I grow in the summer. To peel tomatoes, plums and peaches, I drop these items into boiling water, then remove them and place them in very cold water.

The skin cracks and is easy to peel off, oftentimes with just my fingers. — Hope D., in Columbia, Missouri Send a hint to heloise@ heloise.com.

HOLLYWOOD SOUTH N.O.-shot ‘Is God Is’ tells tale of dangerous revenge 11 local actors cast in Southern gothic film

It’s one part Greek tragedy, one part spaghetti western revenge film, but what the recent theatrical release “Is God Is” is not, is boring.

Shot in New Orleans, it was written

by American playwright and longtime Mississippi resident Aleshea Harris, who adapted it from Leslie her original OffCardé Broadway Theater Awards-winning stage play of the same name.

This film is her feature directing debut and boasts a cast of well-known actors like Sterling K. Brown, Vivica A. Fox and Janelle Monae, as well as 11 roles that went to local talent between here and Atlanta, according to location casting director Meagan Harris Lewis.

The story follows twin sisters Racine (Kara Young) and Anaia (Mallori Johnson) who were severely burned as children when their mother was set on fire and their home went up in flames.

Emotionally and physically scarred by that event, they are summoned as adults by their dying mother Ruby “the God” (Vivica A. Fox) who reveals that the monster behind that event was their own father (Sterling K. Brown), who now must be killed for attempting to murder his family. For Brown, who normally plays empathetic or grounded characters, this role as a sociopathic patriarch is his first role as a true villain.

“This film is a commanding female empowerment story where women take agency,” said Brown.

Mills got the role of Scotch and explained that most of his scenes were with the twin girls, along with Janelle Monae.

The role of Scotch, who lives with his father, played by Brown, is a volatile one and involves playing a multi-faceted character.

Mills was most impressed with first-time director Harris, who he said made his acting easy in a difficult role.

the director’s vision. She invited all of us to collaborate with her.”

Screenwriter and director Harris uses biblical and mythic imagery throughout the film and uses a “saint” motif to tie into several themes at once. The twin girls have survived agony and bear the physical scars to prove it.

They are expected to obey their mother’s “divine” command to kill their father.

But Harris flips the traditional saint image: Instead of passive holiness, these women are expressing rage and vengeance. The movie constantly blurs the concepts of justice versus revenge, martyr versus killer and the “God” character of Fox versus the “Monster” character of Brown.

New Orleans actor Mark Druhet plays one of the saints in a memorable church scene.

“We are the three saints in the church who yell out when the spirit moves us,” said Druhet.

“It’s a very intense scene in the film when the twins enter the church, and instead of becoming consolation for them, we subject them to a judgment ritual.”

The twists and turns of this film will keep you guessing with an ending that defies prediction. But, underneath the very entertaining storyline of “Is God Is” is a treatise on the unsettling notion that cycles of violence may never fully end, and that revenge can become something beyond what you do and instead become who you are.

Harris makes a not-so-subtle statement that women are often expected culturally to absorb suffering quietly, to remain nurturing, to forgive, and to survive gracefully. This film rejects that expectation completely as it weaves a narrative that will appeal to audiences on many different levels.

Amazon MGM Studios’ “Is God Is” is currently in theaters but available for purchase on Prime Video mid-June and free to subscribers mid-July.

Recent climate study’s dire prediction for New Orleans is inspiring some entrepreneurs to double down on state conservation efforts

BY RICH COLLINS Staff writer

The New Orleans “doomsday story” has been the talk of south Louisiana this month.

The Guardian newspaper, summarizing an academic climate study released earlier this month, said the city has reached the “point of no return” due to sea level rise, sinking land and an eroding coastline, and that it’s time to plan a decadeslong relocation of one of the world’s most well-known cultural centers.

The international coverage of the report sparked a variety of responses locally, ranging from gallows humor to criticisms about the authors’ methodology. But for a group of Louisiana entrepreneurs building businesses aimed at solving problems related to coastal erosion, it did something else entirely: It created a new sense of urgency, and it

likely gave them a new slide for their pitch decks.

This decade, the burgeoning startup scene in south Louisiana — bolstered by a growing number of entrepreneurial support organizations, government programs, school-based business incubators and local investors — has produced a handful of promising companies that are developing technologies designed to address existential threats to Louisiana and other low-lying coastal areas.

Climate-tech startup Natrx has patented a way to build artificial reefs and breakwaters that mimic nature’s method of protecting coasts and creating habitats. RCoast uses drones to collect data about coastal areas to help assess risk and plan protection.

And Glass Half Full is turning recycled glass into sand that can be used to rebuild land.

Why would Elon Musk want to launch rockets from La.’s coast?

BY STEPHANIE RIEGEL Staff writer

Pecan Island is a sleepy, marshy strip of coastal Louisiana with a full-time population of about 100 people, a few dozen camps sitting high on piers and wind-battered oaks that have stood for decades on fields of willowy swamp grass.

Improbably, it seems, it is also the potential site for a new aerospace facility.

In recent weeks, a state legislator and other sources have confirmed that an aerospace company is in talks to buy coastal land in the Vermilion Parish area from ExxonMobil, which has owned 136,000 acres there

“SpaceX aspires to launch a lot of rockets — unlike anything we have seen before — which means they need a lot more launch facilities.”

SpaceX is the company the state is targeting with the incentives.

In a post on Musk’s social media platform X earlier this month, the company confirmed it is looking to expand, though it stopped short of naming a specific location.

“It’s no secret that we intend to launch Starship a lot, targeting ERIC BERGER, senior space editor at Ars Technica thousands of flights per year,” the post said, referring to its powerful, reusable rocket. “That cadence will require the ability since the 1950s.

At the same time, legislators to launch from many different are finalizing a package of bills locations, so we are constantly that give aerospace compa- exploring to find viable sites to nies generous tax breaks and expand Starship operations in expansive protections against the future.” lawsuits.

Continued from page 1E Supporters of these ventures and others like them believe innovation will play a key part in protecting Louisiana and other vulnerable communities around the world. All the “doomsday” talk this month, they say, just provides inspiration.

“There’s nothing Louisiana knows better than water management,” said Beaux Jones, president and CEO of The Water Institute, a nonprofit research organization that supports startups pursuing solutions to climate threats. “We need to build on what we’re good at.”

Breaking waves Investors have been betting big on Natrx, one of the area’s most notable climate tech startups.

The 8-year-old company, which now splits its operations between Louisiana and North Carolina, has raised roughly $7 million on its way to becoming a revenuegenerating resilience and restoration company with patented technology, a manufacturing facility in Amelia and more than 85 completed deployments worldwide.

Tad Schwendler, Natrx’s chief operating officer, said the company aims to make coastal restoration and protection faster and cheaper by creating lightweight breakwaters and reefs that mimic natural systems. It builds its modular structures by injecting moisture into a concrete mix, resulting in complexity and variability not possible with traditional molds or forms, according to Schwendler.

“The process is analogous to how oyster shells or seashells are made,” he said.

When installed, the modular shapes are designed to promote the development of habitats for oysters and other marine life while reducing flooding and wave impact.

Upcoming project locations include Port Lavaca, Texas, and Waikiki, Hawaii.

Continued from page 1E Louisiana Economic Development has declined to comment.

Among the many questions swirling around Acadiana, where Pecan Island is located, is why an aerospace company with billion-dollar rockets and satellites and high-tech testing and launch equipment would be eyeing marshland on the vulnerable edge of the south Louisiana coast?

Aerospace experts who track SpaceX and its competitors say there are plenty of reasons.

“SpaceX aspires to launch a lot of rockets — unlike anything we have seen before — which means they need a lot more launch facilities,” said Eric Berger, senior space editor at Ars Technica, a technology and science news website. “That would be an advantageous location for them to launch from.”

‘Stupidly loud’ One of the advantages coastal Vermilion Parish offers to a company like SpaceX is its proximity to water — both the Gulf and the Intracoastal Waterway.

SpaceX’s reusable rockets are too large to be transported by truck or rail, so they must be moved by barge from the test site to a launch pad and, once recovered in the Gulf, back to a facility where they can be prepared to launch again.

The area also provides easy access to much-needed fuels — natural gas and methane.

“Vermilion gives them Gulf access between Boca Chica, Texas, (where the SpaceX Starbase hub is located) and Cape Canaveral, Florida, where it has launch pads,” said Kimberly Siversen Burke, director of governmental affairs for Quilty Space, a Florida firm that advises aerospace companies.

“It has methane infrastructure nearby in Cameron and fabrication access through the Port of Iberia,”

Workers use a special claw on a backhoe to lower one of 500 3D-printed concrete modules created by Natrx from a barge into the Gulf near Grand Isle in August 2024 to help build a reef. An academic climate study released earlier this month and reported on by The Guardian newspaper saying Louisiana’s coastline has reached a ‘point of no return’ has created a new sense of urgency among local entrepreneurs focused on solving problems related to coastal erosion. used to protect linear industrial infrastructure closer to home, where sediment can erode, making oil and gas pipelines unstable.

“We designed permeable structures that slow the flow of water and create conditions that makes the sediment settle, the same way the marsh creates oyster reefs,” Schwendler said.

Schwendler said Natrx, which also has developed software to manage its installations, is contributing to an essential and growing industry.

“Most of the world’s resources are concentrated on coasts, and Louisiana can be the world leader in applying erosion solutions in the real world,” he said.

Bird’s-eye view As Natrx wallows in sediment and sand, the coastal data company RCoast is taking a more high-level approach to erosion — specifically, 400 feet in the air — as it deploys drones to gather data about threatened coastlines.

she said.

The site is also remote and sparsely populated, though it teems with waterfowl, fish, migratory birds and other wildlife that have made it a seasonal duck hunting ground and a peaceful retreat for sport fishermen.

The acoustic buffer that thousands of uninhabited acres of marsh could provide is attractive to the company, Burke said, after the dozens of federal and state lawsuits that SpaceX is fighting in south Texas over the environmental destruction, noise disruptions, property damage and beach closures its rocket testing facility has caused.

Incentive bills making their way through the Louisiana legislature would make it illegal for residents to sue for damages if rocket testing or launches harmed the area or their property. The bills also would also prevent local governments or organizations from trying to legally block the company from coming.

“Louisiana preemptively baked in legal cover for an operation that will be stupidly loud and industrial once active,” Burke said.

AI data center satellites?

Founded in 2023 by former NASA scientist and selfprofessed data nerd Christy Swann, the young company uses lasers and cameras to quantify erosion and flood risk while helping landowners, businesses and governments determine the effectiveness of sand fences, seawalls and other interventions.

“My whole life, I’ve loved collecting data and building instruments,” said Swann, who grew up spending time at her family’s beach place in Surf City, North Carolina, before earning her Ph.D. studying coastal land. “I’m addicted.”

Swann, who moved to New Orleans in 2016 to work at the Stennis Space Center, said she left government to help “everyday people” and pursue ideas more quickly.

Her startup now has seven employees, a handful of Louisiana investors and hundreds of thousands in revenue from its work in five states.

Swann said she’s a big believer in the effectiveness of nature-based solutions like

dunes, reefs and vegetation versus concrete and stone seawalls, but the systems require planning and management to remain effective.

“We’ll recommend building sand fences at just the right angle to capture wind-blown sand during the windy season and then planting vegetation to stabilize the dune,” she said. “Like farming, you have to work land that is constantly changing.”

Swann said RCoast’s goals include building a “massive database” and training machine learning to predict the best mitigation strategies for erosion so communities can learn from each other.

Her part-time hometown, in particular, is a place she wants to protect.

“We know we have to adapt to increased storms and flooding, but we’re not going to let New Orleans become Atlantis,” she said.

Shell-sponsored competition in December and now is testing a plan to make a pulp out of sugar cane by-products and other biodegradable material and inject it into sediment along Louisiana coastlines. The venture will set up shop at Newlab, an accelerator for industrial companies scheduled to open in the 9th Ward next year.

Two-year-old startup Sediment is earning $25,000 for its participation in the Gulf Blue Navigator accelerator program hosted by the University of Southern Mississippi in Gulfport. The company’s proprietary camera, due to hit the market this year, takes an instant measurement of sediment grain sizes, replacing a process that used to take weeks and is necessary for successful coastal restoration projects.

Other participating companies in this year’s USM cohort include several making artificial reef products plus a software venture that uses artificial intelligence to improve underwater mapping.

Jones, of the Water Institute, said the current concerns about New Orleans’ future can be a call to arms for all of these founders, spurring more coordination with government and large institutions like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Some of the startups themselves have already joined forces: RCoast is collecting data at some of Glass Half Full’s project sites and Natrx is exploring ways to use Glass Half Full’s sand and RCoast’s expertise.

Tulane professor Jesse Keenan, one of the authors of the climate report that unleashed a flood of coverage, thinks that’s the right idea.

“People often incorrectly spin the headlines as an abandonment of New Orleans,” he said. “To the contrary, the paper is a call to accelerate investments in adaptations, from sediment to synthetics and from pollution to people.”

An enterprise that began humbly by grinding up bottles in the backyard of a Broadway Street frat house now has a fee-based residential glass collection service and operates free drop-off centers in several Gulf Coast states. In 2024, it closed a $6.5 million funding round led by Benson Capital, and in early 2025, it opened its glass processing facility in Chalmette that can turn recycled glass containers into a crushed glass, which is sold to bottle manufacturers.

The company also grinds recycled containers into glass sand, which it has supplied to a half dozen land restoration efforts in Louisiana, including 150 tons — equivalent to about 600,000 beer bottles — earmarked for a St. Bernard Parish marsh project this summer.

“The advantage of south Louisiana is that you can launch almost due south into polar orbits,” Berger said.

Lightning speed Given coastal Louisiana’s climate vulnerability and marshy terrain, it might seem incredible that a company like SpaceX would consider expanding to the area.

Burke said the fact that the Gulf “might reclaim that area one of these hurricane seasons” is why she believes a modular infrastructure or engine testing site is more likely than a full-blown launch complex.

“I’m sure Raptor test stands, tank farms, integration bays and support equipment are expensive, but it’s not like they’re building a cape-like launch complex designed to survive for decades,” she said.

Berger, however, said he thinks the company could one day launch satellites from there, noting that south Texas is also low-lying and sits in the path of hurricanes.

“Starbase is just a few feet above sea level,” he said.

“South Louisiana might be a little different because it’s more marshy, but it’s only a few feet lower than south Texas.”

Whatever could be planned for the area, both experts said it will be disruptive. If the company were to come, Berger predicts, it would move swiftly.

“If Elon decides this is a priority, they could be launching Starship rockets in 18-24 months,” Berger said. “SpaceX does things so differently. If they are aligned with the state and want to move forward, it could happen really fast.”

Burke said she thinks SpaceX would want to use the site to test its rocket engines, known as Raptors.

The site could also be used to refurbish existing hardware and possibly for some manufacturing.

Berger said he believes SpaceX may want to use the site to launch orbital satellites, which follow the polar orbit in a north-south direction around the Earth.

Coastal Vermilion is uniquely situated to launch such satellites.

“You need to launch them to the north or south, and if you look at a map of where that area is, it sits nicely looking south,” Berger said.

“You could fly a long way before you hit land again and go over a pretty unpopulated area of Mexico.”

TALKING BUSINESS A S K T H E E X P E RT S

How south Louisiana can keep the home field advantage Nonprofit CEO eyeing sporting events’ shifting landscape

BY JONAH MEADOWS Staff writer

For nearly three decades, Jay Cicero has been responsible for attracting major sporting events to New Orleans.

After getting his start with the Shreveport Captains minor league baseball team, Cicero became the third full-time employee of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation in 1990. Since 1997, he has been the organization’s president and CEO. Today, the sports foundation has 12 employees and an annual budget of about $2.6 million, more than half of which comes from public money.

Structured as a 501(c)4 nonprofit organization, meaning it can engage in limited political activity, it bids on and manages major sporting events on behalf of the city and state.

As New Orleans prepares to host the 2028 College Football Championship and aims for a record 12th Super Bowl as early as 2031 — while facing the prospect of more competition from new stadiums in larger cities — we sat down with him to talk about what the city needs to do to remain in the game.

Interview has been edited for clarity and length.

What makes New Orleans a sports town?

It starts with the Saints, of course.

We’re an event capital of the country, and a Saints game, it’s an event.

It’s very New Orleans, it’s very music- and food-oriented and celebratory. So I think it starts there, but the fact that we have these annual special events each year, and then we are able to add these one-time events really sets New Orleans apart from other cities.

The location of the Caesars Superdome is part of it — walking distance from all these hotel rooms

Jay Cicero is president and CEO of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, which bids on and manages major sporting events on behalf of New Orleans and Louisiana.

Q&A WITH JAy CICERO

GREATER NEW ORLEANS SPORTS FOUNDATION CEO and the river and our own built-in entertainment district with the French Quarter. That’s an asset that every other city wishes they had.

How is the competition for major events changing?

You’ve got Nashville that is about to finish a new stadium with a roof on it right across the street from their current stadium, and they have a lot of downtown hotel rooms, very walkable city, entertainment city, so they’ll be competitive in the future. But you have other new stadiums that are coming or being planned that have roofs on them.

Denver is proposing to build a new stadium; Chicago, too, although

they’re having issues with the location of it; Washington, D.C.; Kansas City; Cleveland.

The business of stadiums is changing across the country. When all these new stadiums open isn’t exactly sure, but they certainly will be in the mix for the Final Fours and Super Bowls and other major events that move around the country.

What can New Orleans do to stay competitive?

Continue to renovate the Superdome, for sure. Continue to build hotels downtown, especially higherend hotels. As these special events get more corporate travel associ-

be able to host these other events?

So when folks come to us and say we want to build a certain facility, we’re like, “OK, make sure you build it for the business of travel sports.”

Tad Gormley Stadium is the largest track and field stadium in our area, but the track itself, it’s no secret, is not in great shape and has not been renovated in some time.

As the years went on, the resources were not available to maintain it and keep it in a world-class shape.

Katrina didn’t help either.

Does New Orleans have the capacity to support another pro team?

It really depends on the sport itself and the facility being used. I think minor leagues could survive here, but they would need local ownership, the right type of marketing associated with them and it would have to be a sport that the public is interested in.

With minor league baseball, you have to take into account the shrinking of the number of teams.

Major League Baseball now is much more involved in the ownership and management. Having been a general manager of the Zephyrs a long time ago, back then the major league team was paying for all the players, all the bats, half the transportation, insurance for those guys. As those expenses go up, they need to look at the viability of the marketplaces and try to figure out which ones are the best for them.

Our last ownership group here got an offer to move to Wichita and an $80 million facility built for them, and so they moved. Now, the folks that owned the team here last were not local owners, so without full understanding of our culture, of what works here, what doesn’t work here, they didn’t do well.

New Orleans is different than just about any place in the country, so to be able to have that understanding and be able to reach that audience in the right way, it takes a lot.

ated with them, those travelers are looking for a higher-end hotel. Airport expansion would be extremely important. Not only people arriving, but the pressure point really is the day after, when people are leaving, because almost everybody leaves at the same time.

Are we missing sports facilities? Do we need to build more?

We definitely need new or expanded facilities for other sports. When someone comes to us and says we want to build a natatorium — great, because we don’t have a natatorium. We don’t have that many pools that are suited for the competitions where we can bring in 1,500 people to compete in swimming events, because of deck space, basically.

Small La. drone builder to help NOAA charting vessels CEO Stuart Chance, center, and members of his team stand in front of a Chance LR-30 unnmanned survey boat at Chance Maritime Technologies in Lafayette.

BY ADAM DAIGLE

Acadiana business editor A third-generation business owner, Stuart Chance saw an opportunity in 2018, when a defense contractor that bought out his employer, ASV Global, started to ignore its commercial clients.

So, he went out on his own and started his own company, Chance Maritime Technologies.

In the years since, the Lafayettebased company, which designs, builds and operates uncrewed surface vessels, has grown steadily, adding more to its client base. Earlier this month, it landed a $21.6 million contact with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to deliver up to eight versions of its high-powered ocean drone — the Chance LR30 — to support the agency’s new charting and mapping vessels.

Stuart says his company, now with 24 employees, is still growing.

“We’re outgrowing the buildings that we’re now in,” he said. “We were in one building, and we’ve been in two buildings for about a year and half. We’re about to be in our third building, and we’re looking at building a whole new facility here in Lafayette.”

Stuart’s company signed on to provide the vessels over five years.

They’ll be used by the NOAA to deliver tools and information that help mariners safely transport the $2.3 trillion worth of cargo that comes in and out of the nation’s ports and harbors, the federal agency said in a recent release.

The Chance LR30 is 30 feet long and features a climate-controlled, 12-foot payload bay along with an integrated standard 19-inch rack with AC and DC power options, company officials said in announcing the deal. It also offers direct operator control, supervised control with semiautonomous capabilities like collision avoidance, dynamic course tracking and even fully autonomous operations, NOAA officials said.

Last year, NOAA hosted keellaying events for two new charting

designed for hydrographic survey, Chance said. It’s big enough to have necessary endurance and speed but small enough at under 10,000 pounds to be transported to and from sites. It can be transported and launched by trailer, meaning it can enter water from almost any ramp.

“Uncrewed systems are transforming how we understand the ocean,” saids Michael Scherer, the

geoning commercial spaceflight industry.

Earlier this year, Metal Shark Boats in Iberia Parish was sold to a national manufacturer. In April 2025, Texas-based startup Saronic announced it was buying a shipyard in Franklin to manufacture autonomous vessels. Two months later, Bollinger Shipyards announced its work modifying a barge to serve as a landing platform for reusable rockets, its latest contract driven by advances in commercial spaceflight.

At the moment, most of the demand for these high-tech, autonomous vessels is coming from the defense sector. Chance said it remains to be seen whether demand will materialize on the commercial side.

“Marine vessels are difficult,” he said. “The ocean is always trying to break everything you put in it. There’s definitely room for improvement, and our goal is to move the ball down the field and keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.”

company’s chief technology officer. “The Chance LR30 will seamlessly adapt to NOAA’s evolving mission. Whatever the agency needs to do next — new sensors, new survey areas, new discoveries — this platform is ready for it.”

BUSINESS BRIEFS

Seafood restaurant Home sales strong closes after 10 years outside parish

A Mississippi-based seafood restaurant that opened in Lafayette with fanfare in 2016 has closed.

Half Shell Oyster House, 119 Old Camp Road, Suite 114, quietly closed on Monday. Its lease was up in October, said Ryan Pecot, of Stirling Properties.

Half Shell Oyster House made a splash when it opened in the Ambassador Town Center. Kevin Fish, then vice president of operations, said his restaurant was going to fill a niche in the Lafayette market with a “nice, Southern, Creole seafood restaurant.”

The same company operated Southern Pearl Oyster House in Baton Rouge, which closed in January.

It took on a different name when it opened in 2019 to avoid confusion with On the Half Shell, a longtime Prairieville oyster bar.

The number of home sales in Acadiana outside of Lafayette Parish has hit near record highs so far this year.

There were 791 homes sold through April, second behind the 802 sold in 2021 when interest rates fell to historic lows.

More buyers could be looking beyond Lafayette Parish due to higher prices, according to data from analyst Bill Bacque, of Market Scope Consulting.

The average sale price increased about 18% in the last 12 months, data shows.

This year’s average got a bump when a home in St. Mary Parish sold for $1.75 million last month, Bacque said.

In Lafayette Parish, sales are up over the past three years at 1,081 but not close to the estimated 1,500 that were sold through April in 2021 and 2022, data reveals.

Prices, however, continue to rise in Lafayette Parish.

Total dollar volume through April is up almost 8%, and both average and median sale prices for existing homes have increased faster than that for new construction.

So far, 13 homes priced at $1 million or higher have sold, which outpaces the 40 sold in all of 2025, data shows.

In March, the number of homes for sale in that range was 85, more than double the total from two years ago.

“We’re trending into a higher-range marketplace,” Bacque said. “We’re seeing what we’ve been seeing since 2025 — more product in that upper price range coming on to the market. I’m no alarmist, but it’s something worth noting.”

Gray Media closes on swap to acquire KATC Gray Media has closed on

its deal to acquire KATC, its second television station in Lafayette.

The company announced May 15 the transaction with E.W. Scripps that was initially announced almost a year ago had closed. It comes after the deal got Federal Communications Commission approval earlier this month.

The deal was a cash-free transaction that included swapping stations in five mid-sized markets. It follows Gray’s acquisition of KADN and KLAF, giving the company a duopoly in the Lafayette market and a presence in each TV market in Louisiana.

Gray now owns 117 fullpower stations that reach about 37% of U.S. television households. It also has a companywide minimum wage of $18 an hour for its employees.

Scripps had owned KATC since 2018.

Fool’s School: Buffett has passed the torch

Warren Buffett has stepped down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway and handed the reins to his longtime manager, Abel.

Motley Greg In early May, Fool the company’s annual shareholder meeting happened as usual in Omaha, Nebraska, with many thousands attending. Abel led the meeting; Buffett was in the audience.

For those worried about how the company will fare now, there was a lot of reassurance as Abel shared the stage with multiple heads of various divisions, including insurance, the BNSF railroad and NetJets. Abel assured investors that he will maintain the company’s culture and principles, saying: “As a conglomerate, we live by the fact that we hate bureaucracy” and “We want Berkshire to endure.”

He also said: “We’ve heard many times: The ABCs — the arrogance, bureaucracy, complacency that can creep into a company — will kill a company, and we intend to never allow that to happen.”

Here are some nuggets from the meeting.

On artificial intelligence: Abel said, “We’re not going to do AI for the sake of AI” and management will require any AI use to boost the value of the business. He noted that some of Berkshire’s subsidiaries are already employing it in different ways — and that the proliferation of energyhungry data centers used for AI processing is a tailwind for Berkshire’s energy operations.

On opportunities: The company’s pile of cash (and cash equivalents) has grown further under Abel, and is now around $380 billion.

Abel noted in his letter to shareholders, “While some of this capital is required to support our insurance operations and protect

Berkshire against extreme scenarios, it also constitutes our dry powder (to pounce on opportunities).”

In a CNBC interview during the meeting, Buffett noted that the stock market has “never had people in a more gambling mood than now. But that doesn’t mean that investing is terrible.

It does mean that prices for an awful lot of things will look very silly.” And “If you’re buying one-day options, or selling them ... that’s not investing, it’s not speculating, it’s gambling.

Just totally.”

Dumbest Investment: Wish I did Roth IRAs My most unfortunate investment decision was investing in my 401(k) beyond the company match during my working life. I wish I’d put more money in a Roth IRA instead. Roth IRAs are unbelievably beneficial when you approach or enter retirement.The Affordable Care Act doesn’t count Roth IRA withdrawals as income, and such withdrawals are not subject to required minimum distributions, as withdrawals from traditional IRAs and 401(k)s are.

In fact, withdrawals from Roth IRAs aren’t subject to income tax at all.

Roth IRAs are heaven-sent, and Suze Orman agrees. Please tell your friends. — T.J., Felton, California First, congratulations on maxing out your company’s 401(k) matching contribution. That was a smart move — those matching dollars are free money! We also agree that Roth IRAs are terrific. Here’s one reason: You can invest in almost any stock or bond via an IRA, whereas 401(k) s typically restrict you to a limited menu of funds. Still, Roth IRAs aren’t always best. For example, while the tax-free withdrawals are great, some people would do well to grab the up-front tax deduction for a traditional IRA contribution. Also, IRA contribution limits are much lower than those of 401(k)s.

BY THE NUMBERS

Data points to La. population shifts amid job stagnation Most of Louisiana’s largest cities are shrinking

BY JONAH MEADOWS Staff writer

Seven of the states’s largest cities have lost residents since 2020.

Of the 305 cities, towns and villages in Louisiana, nearly 3 out of 4 lost residents from 2020 to 2025, according to population estimates released this month by the U.S. Census Bureau.

In the 18 cities with more than 20,000 people, more than half are shrinking, including New Orleans, which this year dropped below Cleveland to become the 54th most populous in the nation.

Meanwhile, the population has declined in 50 of Louisiana’s 64 parishes, with a net loss of nearly 40,000 residents statewide. Were it not for international migration, that number would be more than three times larger.

It’s no mystery where people are going.

“You can almost hear the sucking sound of Houston and Dallas pulling our people that way,” said Tim Slack, a sociologist at LSU. The top five fastest-growing cities in the country, and six of last year’s 10 biggest population gainers, are all in Texas, according to census data.

CITY

Intra-state moves The latest municipal-level population estimates show that Louisianans are not only leaving the state but redistributing themselves around it.

Within the state’s 10 metropolitan areas, only two principal cities — Hammond and Lafayette — have posted significant growth.

In most metro areas that have grown, the increase has come from outside their core cities.

Lafayette Parish’s population has grown by 6.7% since 2020, according to census data, a growth that can be attributed more to outlying communities like youngsville, which grew by 26%, rather than its core city, Lafayette, which grew by 1.6%. talking about the principal cities that anchor metro areas, we’re talking about communities that surround those places,” Slack said.

Lafayette Parish presents a microcosm of this pattern.

The parish has grown by 6.7% since 2020 even as the city itself grew by just 1.6%.

Surrounding communities — such as Carencro, up 43%, and Youngsville, up 26% — are fueling that growth.

While high costs and safety concerns contribute to pushing residents out of the state’s core cities, more affordable housing and more appealing school districts are helping in pulling residents toward the suburban and exurban fringes of metro areas, experts say, as long as they remain within commuting range of jobs.

Work-life balance Allison Plyer, chief demographer at The Data Center in New Orleans, said the No. 1 reason that people are willing to move long distances is because of work opportunities, followed by social networks.

“People will tolerate very high housing costs if there are jobs,” Plyer said.

But the number of jobs in Louisiana has grown by less than 1% over the past decade, compared with a national average of nearly 10%, according to total nonfarm payroll data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“Someone might move from New Orleans because of poor schools to St. Tammany — that’s true,” Plyer said. “But in terms of the

total population loss, it’s because we have stagnant job growth.”

Last year’s jobs data is somewhat more promising.

The state added about 3,300 people from 2024 to 2025 while adding about 8,300 jobs. That could signal continued population growth on the horizon.

But, at the same time, the international immigration to Louisiana that’s offset the number of people who move out-of-state has dramatically slowed since 2024. And, if current trends continue, the Census Bureau projects international migration will decline by another 75% next year.

For Louisiana, which would have lost more than 130,000 residents since 2020 were it not for migrants

‘Better than a textbook’ Two institutions, over 11,000 miles apart, partner for four-year medical program

FROM FARM TO CAFETERIA

Super local: Louisiana schools embrace nutrient-dense lunches grown on campus

BY MARGARET DeLANEY | Staff writer

The greens inside the greenhouses at Rayville High School are lush, brilliant shades of green. Ten years ago, Richland Parish Food Network Services was given a grant through Seed Change, an initiative of the National Farm to School Network to expand the use of locally grown produce in schools through changes in procurement, education or the addition of school gardens.

Rory Gresham, the greenhouse manager, runs three greenhouses at Rayville High. The first is for germination. Seeds stay there for the first three weeks before being moved to either the tomato greenhouse or the lettuce greenhouse.

A decade ago, Gresham did all the work. Now students clamor to get into the agriculture and wellness classes that teach them the ins and outs of gardening and farm-to-table eating.

“It’s amazing how many students come up and tell me that they didn’t know lettuce had a taste,” he said.

The Seed Change program and the Louisiana Farm to School Alliance bring fresh, healthy food into cafeterias and increasing food and ag-

ricultural literacy in the classroom.

Learning the habits — and taste — of healthy eating young can have lasting effects on both children and the families at home.

“Only good things can come from gardens,” said Catherine Carmichael, a dietitian and researcher at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge.

Even windowsill herb gardens and vegetables grown in reused containers can be beneficial for classrooms to teach students about the fundamentals of fresh ingredients.

“We can give them lifetime skills that they will take with them,” she said.

ä See FARM, page 4X

When Madison Mora decided to apply to medical school, she thought her only option was to stay in Louisiana.

A graduate of LSU, and a Baton Rouge native, Mora wanted to stay close to home — but she also wanted adventure, even if that adventure included large spiders, snakes and in a city across the world from her family.

In 2022, Mora applied to The University of Queensland Medical School-Ochsner Health.

The two institutions, over 11,000 miles apart, partnered up in 2008 to create a four-year medical program that split students’ learning into two parts: two years of preclinical training in Brisbane, Australia, and another two years of clinical work in New Orleans.

“That sounded amazing to me,” Mora said. “I wanted to get out of here, challenge myself and see a different side of the world.”

Three months after her application went through, she packed her bags and boarded a 17-hour flight across the world for medical school.

The University of Queensland, a public research university located in Australia’s capital, hosts 500 students each year. The internationally recognized university welcomed its first batch of New Orleans’ 100 students in 2009.

“It’s amazing how much (the cities) have in common,” said Dr. Ron Amedee, the UQ-Ochsner MD Program director based in New Orleans. “The words might be a little bit different, but we share a common language that neither one of us quite understands.”

There are plenty of differences, however, in the programs: Australian schools go from January to November, students are in front of patients within six weeks of the program and the healthcare system is free.

HEALTH MAKER BR doctor releases book on living with cancer Guide aims to help kids understand, process diagnosis

BY MARGARET DeLANEY Staff writer

His patients know him as Dr. Sanjay Juneja, but on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, he is TheOncDoc to his almost halfmillion followers.

Starting when he was at LSU Health Shreveport, the Baton Rouge hematologist-oncologist dances, lip syncs and uses humor to provide medical information in videos that usually run one minute or less.

In May, he released his first book.

“We Need To Talk About Cancer,” written for ages 10 to 14, is a compassionate, evidence-based guide to help kids understand and process a cancer diagnosis, whether it’s their own or a loved one’s.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

What sparked your journey in health?

I really wanted to be a middle school science teacher. I had a formative science teacher at Glasgow Middle School.

I realized you can unlock so much of this otherwise encrypted value of the world when you learn physics and chemistry.

If you don’t know the wiser, then you’re sleeping on all of this really cool stuff.

I ended up getting into a car accident in high school, and I lost my eyesight. I was legally blind for weeks.

When people asked afterward if I was terrified that I wouldn’t ever see again, I at first was

Dr. Sanjay Juneja records a TikTok video at his home. proud that I wasn’t scared. Then I asked myself: “Why wasn’t I scared? That doesn’t make sense.”

Then I realized it was because my doctor in Baton Rouge did a beautiful job of explaining to me what the problem was, what the trauma did and what our goals were moving forward.

He walked me through all of the mini hurdles to jump and high-five about. The way that he explained everything to me, and oriented me to each goal, I first appreciated that a scary thing can be a little less scary when you know what’s ahead of you.

That’s what made me want to be

a doctor.

Why did you first turn to social media to teach the public about health?

As a doctor, I get to teach people all the time about cancer and how it comes in many forms. I thought, if I’m doing that in clinic for 20 patients a day, why not try to use these analogies and metaphors on social and democratize this information?

How did the idea of a book come about?

It was, in part, my wife. We were watching the morning news, and they were talking about the next 40-year-old celebrity that has kids and was diagnosed with cancer.

Lauren pointed out that it was

weird how we see cancer in clinics and on the news, but nothing is really geared toward the children on everything that they’re hearing all around them.

Where can they go to begin to understand what this nebulous and often terrifying thing cancer is?

On top of that, oftentimes kids aren’t even allowed in their adult cancer clinics because they carry different kind of germs and illnesses. They’re not even privy to having the family conversation in these settings.

That’s where the book started.

I use the metaphors I used in the book all the time with my adult population. It was geared toward to be mutually beneficial.

The difference is that the book has a significant portion at the end on the emotional and psychological impact that is hard to find.

Not knowing what to say is fine.

It’s OK to show your fear.

Tell me about how you mapped out each step of the cancer journey and then simplified each one in clear language.

I had a unique vantage point because I had my local population

— my patients.

I also got to see what people were asking because my social media presence. At the time, I had like 75,000 followers and hundreds and thousands of comments on videos that helped me appreciate or understand where certain deficits were.

What have been the initial reactions after publishing this book?

I’ve had, sadly, dozens of messages from everyone I’ve ever met. Just about everyone has someone in their immediate family that has cancer.

What really surprised me was the number of pictures I got of kids reading the book — just a word or a tag on Instagram. I could have never known how much this would mean to people or how much was able to be said in this book.

It’s been deeply humbling. The whole purpose of this was to make it accessible, and especially with young kids.

What’s next?

Before this, I had been working on an adult book. It’s directed toward millennials, because we’re getting cancer, our parents are getting cancer.

We’re at a time where cancer is so prevalent. In the book I’m working on, I use analogies and references that we all grew up with — Harry Potter analogies included.

We are in a time of an overabundance of information without any regulation of validity. My hope is I can equip someone to navigate that overabundance in a somewhat reasonable or consistent manner.

Continued from page 1X “It’s not like two years just in the books at a typical medical school,” Mora said.

Amedee said the experience sets the students apart both when they begin their rotations in various medical specialties as the final courses of their doctorate, but also as medical school graduates.

“I think it’s a huge distinguishing characteristic of our program to this day,” Amedee said. “Students in the interim get more clinical hours, more research time and volunteer hours to add to their résumés.”

Dr. Marcus Davis, a primary care physician who graduated from the international program in 2022, said the hands-on learning was “better than a textbook.”

“I feel more comfortable shaking a person’s hand,” Davis said.

“I think it built the foundation for key clinical and exam skills that I’ve only developed and built on since then.”

Mora felt “less intimidated” to speak with patients when returning to Louisiana after two years. In Australia, she performed exams.

She presented to attending physicians. She planned patient care.

Learning preventive care Davis was born in New Orleans.

His path to medicine was paved by repeat childhood visits to orthopedic emergency rooms.

“A lot of X-rays,” he said. “I always wanted the doctor to show me my broken bones.”

Davis joined a six-week boot camp for high schoolers interested in medicine. He heard about the possibility to study abroad for medical school then.

When he got accepted into Ochsner’s Australia program, he was ecstatic — then fearful.

“I thought ‘Oh my god, I have to jump on a plane and got to Australia for two years?’ I had never really traveled out of the country,’ ” Davis said. “I was scared, but I just told myself to get on the flight and not look back. And it was the best decision ever.”

Davis road-tripped up the California coast with his girlfriend, now his wife, in 2017 before flying to Australia to begin medical school the following January. His first impressions: the seafood rivaled Louisiana.

“And I have high standards for seafood, being from New Orleans,” Davis said. “It was scary and intimidating (being in a new city), but I felt comfortable with the uncomfortable.”

What stood out to Davis was the

The 2025 graduating class of The University of Queensland Medical School - Ochsner Health gathers before Match Day, a celebration of medical students being ‘matched’ with their residency programs.

“The traditional competitive environment is eliminated because you only have each other to rely on. That was really nice. We already had a community built in. You have people all around you. A little family.”

MADISON MORA overarching focus in Australia on preventive medicine and care. As a country with free healthcare, the resources for treating disease, chronic illness and symptoms are much more adept than hospitals in the U.S. Davis finds that American hospitals often treat problems after the fact.

Davis shadowed a physician in a family medicine clinic in Wellington Point, Australia, just 45 minutes outside of Brisbane.

“The focus they had on preventative healthcare was incredible,” Davis said. “I really learned and cherish that. It stuck with me.”

When he came back in 2020 for his clinicals in New Orleans, it was just as the world was beginning to shut down for a global pandemic.

‘A little family’ abroad

noticed the competitive side of medical school took a back burner.

“The traditional competitive environment is eliminated because you only have each other to rely on,” Mora said.

“That was really nice. We already had a community built in.

You have people all around you. A little family.”

While there, Mora and her fellow students made the most of the geographically convenient vacations available to them: vacations in Thailand, Bali, Vietnam.

Mora even met her spider-averse mother in New Zealand for a little family getaway.

Davis and his band of Louisiana students had family members ship them Tony Chachere’s seasoning to cook with.

Better-for-you BBQ sauces for summer grilling

F

ew things say summer quite like firing up the grill. Shrimp, chicken, lean meats, vegetables and even fruit seem to taste better with a little char.

But while the grill itself can be a healthy cooking method, the sauces we brush on, drizzle over and dip into can make a bigger difference than most people realize.

BBQ sauce is one of those condiments that can quietly add a significant amount of sugar. Some of the most popular bottles pack 13 to 17 grams of added sugar into just two tablespoons, and most of us are using more than that without thinking twice.

We’re not saying we need to skip BBQ sauce altogether, but when we have the option, it can pay to be more selective about which ones we choose.

As a general rule of thumb, I recommend looking for sauces with no more than 4 grams of added sugar per serving. Also, I prefer to avoid high fructose corn syrup as a primary ingredient and skip options made with artificial sweeteners like sucralose and synthetic food dyes like red 40. From there, it’s about finding a flavor you enjoy.

Here are three store-bought options that strike a better balance.

also a good base if you want to customize your own sauce.

Blueberry BBQ Sauce

True Made Foods Central Texas Style BBQ Sauce

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 1/2 cup ketchup 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 1 tablespoon garlic, minced 1 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Salt to taste

Serves about 2 cups

This is one of the more interesting options on shelves right now, especially from a nutrition standpoint. True Made Foods takes a different approach by using vegetables and fruits for natural sweetness instead of added sugar.

Per two tablespoons, it has just 25 calories, 230 mg sodium, 5 grams of carbohydrate, 4 grams of sugar and 0 grams of added sugar.

The ingredient list is incredibly cleanlabel, with tomatoes, carrots, butternut squash, dates, apple cider vinegar, spices and a bit of beef broth for depth of flavor.

There’s no cane sugar, high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners.

One practical note: this isn’t as widely available on store shelves in South Louisiana just yet. It’s typically easier to find online or through specialty retailers, but it’s worth keeping on your radar as distribution continues to expand.

Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce, Organic & Unsweetened

Stubb’s Original Barbecue Sauce

Primal Kitchen is my go-to brand for all types of condiments (their ingredients and nutrition facts are always among the highest quality of store-bought sauces), and their BBQ sauce doesn’t disappoint. It has zero added sugar and no artificial sweeteners, with simple, wholesome ingredients like tomato puree, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar and spices. Per two tablespoons, it has 15 calories, 160 mg sodium and 3 grams of carbohydrate.

It leans more tangy and savory than sweet, making it a great fit for grilled chicken, lean burgers or vegetables. It’s

Stubb’s is a more traditional BBQ sauce, but with a more moderate sugar level than many mainstream brands. It

Make Your Own

If you want more control over ingredients and flavor, homemade BBQ sauce is surprisingly simple. One of my favorites is from Chef Meg Bickford, executive chef of Commander’s Palace, featured in the Eat Fit Cookbook: Chef Inspired Recipes for the Home, 2nd edition.

Her Blueberry BBQ Sauce uses blueberries for natural sweetness, giving it a rich, slightly sweet and tangy flavor without relying on a heavy sugar load.

Maternity care deserts in Louisiana

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, ketchup, apple cider vinegar and water. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Stir in smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the blueberries have broken down and the sauce thickens.

Remove from heat and blend until smooth, if desired. Season with salt to taste.

This sauce works beautifully on grilled chicken, pork, shrimp or even roasted vegetables. It’s also a good reminder that we can build flavor in ways that don’t rely so heavily on added sugar.

At the end of the day, BBQ sauce doesn’t have to be all or nothing. A few small shifts like reading the label, choosing a better option or making your own can go a long way toward keeping flavor high and added sugar in check.

BY THE NUMBERS

MATERNITy CARE DESERTS ARE COMMON IN LOUISIANA

Maternity care deserts are common in Louisiana: Nearly one-third of parishes (29.6%) are maternity care deserts, according to 2026 data released by Tulane University’s Newcomb Institute.

In 2024, Louisiana had the 13th-highest percentage of women living in a county living in a maternity care desert — no birth centers, certified nurse midwives, family practice physicians, obstetricians or hospitals that provide obstetric care. Less access to maternity care is associated with worse maternal and infant outcomes.

New treatment can track tumors lll

‘More precise, more personal’ technology offered at N.O. hospital

BY MARGARET DeLANEY

Staff writer

Ochsner MD Anderson in New Orleans now offers cancer treatment technology that can track tumors during radiation, following the path of patients.

The technology, developed at Stanford University called RefleXion, can track tumors in real time during radiation, helping doctors target cancer more precisely while protecting healthy tissue.

Although Food and Drug Administration approval for the technology is limited to patients over 21 with specific bone and lung cancers, the personalized therapy tech could open the door for more patients, especially those with hard-to-treat cancers, to safely receive radiation.

Conventional radiotherapy uses static images and scans taken before treatment to plan radiation administration. MRI-guided radiotherapy uses real-time imaging but is unable to fully track tumor position changes, resulting in less precise targeting.

The new radiotherapy uses positron emission tomography, a medical imaging technique that uses radioactive tracers to create detailed images.

These tracers have been developed to be absorbed only by cancer cells, to precisely image the tumor in real time.

They act as a biological beacon, signaling to doctors where to administer radiation, and allow for continuous radiation beam adjustment to account for tumor movement caused by the patient’s normal body activity, like breathing.

“If a patient has moved during radiation, it’s impossible to know,” said Dr. Christophe Marques, a radiation oncologist with Ochsner Health. “Instead of radiating the tumor, we have to radiate normal tissue, too.”

RefleXion keeps the margin of error small, preserving more normal tissue than standard radiation methods.

“That means less recurrence.

More cure. Less side effects. Better patient experience,” Marques said.

The FDA approved the technology for bone and lung cancers because of their “extreme tissue densities,” Marques said.

In standard lung cancer radiation treatments, patients are placed in an immobilization box, a pretty tight vacuum device to keep them still.

“With this tech the patient will be more comfortable during treatment,” Marques said. “We don’t have to squeeze them.”

This treatment also aims to address the challenges of treating

“Imagine you have a patient with three to four (tumors) in different places in the body. You have to set them up individually, treat them, shift the patient to treat the next one, et cetera,” Marques described.

Biology-guided radiotherapy streamlines this process by concurrently imaging all tumors in the body, allowing for the simultaneous treatment of multiple tumors, including those whose positions shift due to the patient’s body movement.

Marques and the team at Ochsner MD Anderson hope that their use of the new tech opens the door for future clinical trials: treating neuro tumors, prostate cancers and more.

“The most important thing patients should know is that the safety of this tech has been demonstrated,” Marques said.

“If anything it has become even safer.”

Continued from page 1X Nearly 56,000 Louisiana students have been impacted by the statewide program, with 88% of students showing a greater interest in eating a healthy diet.

Establishing healthy habits Childhood obesity has become a leading public health crisis in America, with 1 in 5 children affected.

According to the National Survey of Children’s Health, 23.1% of Louisiana children are living with obesity, with Louisiana hovering as the third-highest state.

Louisiana ranks near the bottom for several health statistics: coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol.

“Child obesity is at the center of that,” said Dr. Randy Del Mundo, a primary care practitioner and internist at Ochsner Health in Prairieville. “Particularly in Louisiana, we have communities who have a barrier to access healthy foods, a safe place to play or recreation and also access to preventative care.”

In the past four decades, science and medicine have identified obesity as a chronic and complex metabolic disease that can lead to several health conditions.

“Obesity is a metabolic disease.

This is a lifelong illness. A lifelong endeavor,” Del Mundo said.

“It’s not just weight. It’s the health ramifications that come after the weight.”

Obesity is linked to certain cancers, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Small, incremental changes are the key to addressing the diet in adult obesity patients, Del Mundo said: drinking water, eating more

“Changing lifestyles as an adult is much harder.”

Carmichael leads the training programs for nutrition professionals in Louisiana cafeterias.

This year, representatives from 29 different Louisiana parishes participated in the courses.

Part of the course addresses how to make fruits and veggies look more appetizing to eat — boiling broccoli a certain way to retain its luscious green color and cutting up apples to make it easier for young children to eat.

“A whole apple in front of a 6-year-old is daunting,” Carmichael said.

“We want the kids to look forward to their meals, for lunch time to be a positive experience

for them.”

For farm-to-cafeteria programs, student eagerness for the lunch line often is synonymous with pride of their crop.

“My students think they’ve grown the best cherry tomatoes in the state,” Gresham said. “They want to see it in their salads every day.”

Although school lunches have reduced highly processed foods and sugary drinks, the challenge to come will be potential portion sizes for carbohydrates, proteins, sugars and dairy products.

It’s a long road ahead, according to Carmichael.

The Agriculture Department will have to translate the recommendations into specific requirements for school meals. The process then moves to a state-level decision to food sourcing and the pipeline from farmers to cafeterias.

The latest national school nutrition standards were proposed in 2023 but won’t be fully implemented until 2027. Louisiana schools likely won’t see these changes for a number of years, Carmichael said.

“School meal programs are bigger than any fast food company in the nation,” Carmichael said. “That’s a huge undertaking.

Think of the purchasing power for school cafeterias.”

Women’s health is not defined by a single moment or milestone. Instead, it is a journey that evolves from adolescence into young adulthood, midlife, then into menopause and beyond. Ochsner physicians say that at each of these stages, the key to women living healthier lives is consistent, personalized care that looks beyond symptoms alone and focuses on the whole person and their overall wellness.

Taking charge of your health at every age

At any stage of a woman’s life, prioritizing her health can often fall behind the demands of caring for family, work and daily responsibilities. Dr. Pillette said she hopes more women take the time for annual wellness visits, appropriate screenings and discussing symptoms so they can thrive as the best version of themselves.

If a woman is looking for a new healthcare provider, Dr. Pillette recommended searching Ochsner.org, reading patient reviews and asking for suggestions from family and friends. Prospective patients can also meet with providers to ask questions and see if they have a rapport that can be the basis for a long-term health partnership.

“Healthcare is not optional, especially if you have others depending on you,” she said.

“You cannot take care of others if you are not taking care of yourself. Don’t wait until something feels wrong. Routine visits and an ongoing relationship with a trusted physician can detect problems early, reduce longterm problems and support health through every stage of life.”

The Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities’ Prime Time Reading Program at Langston Hughes School

Steady success Reading program becomes model for other states

BY JOY HOLDEN Staff writer

All three of Marguerite Albares’s sons — ages 11, 9 and 6 — have gone through an after-school reading program that has nourished their love of books. The Prime Time reading program offered at their school, Homer Plessy Community School, has brought the family favorite books and quality time together.

Albares Albares says her sons are always the first ones to sign up for the family literacy program when it’s offered.

“I feel like it is an amazing resource,” Albares said. “You receive these wonderful books, dinner and time with community. The overall love for reading is something that occurs throughout the whole time that we’re there, and I feel like that gives such a positive example to the children.”

In its 35th year, Prime Time is reaching more children and families and increasing literacy levels in Louisiana.

The Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities program brings families together for shared meals, guided story reading and open-ended discussions about “big ideas” like courage and fairness. By engaging both children and their caregivers, the program aims to build early literacy and strengthen the home learning environment in a state that historically faces significant educational and economic challenges.

Prime Time is offered in all 64 parishes of Louisiana. The spring 2026 program cycle included 43 approved programs across 20 parishes, and the fall 2026 program cycle will be announced June 1.

Restovic began her career with the organization 20 years ago as an assistant director in the Prime Time program.

She says Prime Time has been a big part

Families enjoy a meal together at a Prime Time reading session.

New Orleans City Council member JP Morrell presents Miranda Restovic with a proclamation from the mayor and the City Council on May 5. of her professional life since then.

“Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities is an organization that, for half a century, has preserved Louisiana history and been a steward of its stories,” Restovic said. “With Prime Time specifically, we’re using stories and storytelling to build, essentially, Louisiana’s future.”

“This made-in-Louisiana program is a success story that is now a national blueprint for early childhood literacy, and I’m really proud of that,” Restovic said. “Louisiana is exporting a literacy model that is turnkey. It works just as well in Louisiana as it does in Georgia.

It works as well in urban settings as it does in rural communities.”

National blueprint

Prime Time Reading

In the last 20 years, Prime Time has evolved. One thing that remains consistent, Restovic says, is that the program has always responded to community needs. What started out as a program in 1991 that only operated in libraries for families with six to 10 year-old children now operates in schools, childcare centers, Head Starts, community centers and churches.

Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities began reaching younger children in 2012 with Prime Time Preschool, which launched with seed funding from the Baptist Community Ministries. A new study titled “Reading Relationships and Readiness: Evidence from the Prime Time Preschool Program,” released on May 5, revealed that the Prime Time Preschool fosters empathy and curiosity in children by framing reading around universal human values.

The study found that Prime Time participation is essentially equivalent to moving a child from the 50th percentile to the 70th percentile in four developmental areas: literacy, math, cognitive development and physical development.

Prime Time won the Library of Congress American Prize award in 2025, one of the highest literacy honors it gives.

Other states, including Nebraska, Washington, Florida and Georgia, are adopting Prime Time’s model.

Prime Time’s success is based on proven humanities-focused strategies to engage families in literacy and early learning programs.

The family reading program features five pillars of learning and teaching: n Promote instruction that centers the children and families n Use the Socratic method of openended questions n Develop higher-order thinking skills n Make connections to quality literature n Use collective learning to bond students and families around reading Christine McCourtney, a Prime Time program coordinator and the head of early childhood literacy at New Orleans Public Libraries, has facilitated Prime Time Reading since 2012. She says that Prime Time fits right into what New Orleans Public Libraries are doing to boost childhood literacy.

A few years ago, when I first walked into Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, vendors were calling out in English. Tourists were negotiating. The whole beautiful machinery of commerce was running loud and fast. I could track all of it.

So I walked deeper in.

Past the stalls selling Turkish Delight and spices to tourists, past the point where most spoke English and into the back corridors where the chatter was entirely beyond me. No one translated. No announcement made sense.

Unlike earlier, I couldn’t take everything in. My husband and I ended up stopping at what we think was a little cafe for the merchants. We had tea. The server recognized we were fish out of water and showed us how to drink the tea the Turkish way — with the sugar cube resting on our tongues.

Through charades and demonstrations, we connected.

The conversations happening 2 feet away were as understandable as birdsong.

Still, I can only describe that lack of understanding as a strange relief.

My reaction may require some explanation: I notice things — conversations at nearby tables, the subtext under what someone is saying out loud or the shift in a room’s mood.

In the 1987 film “Broadcast News,” Holly Hunter’s character is told, “It must be nice to always believe you know better ...”

She looks at him and says, “No. It’s awful.”

When I first saw that film, I was young but old enough to recognize some of myself in her character. I also saw the ways she got on other people’s nerves.

For years after that, I tried to dial myself back — to take up less room and soften my edges.

However, about 15 years ago, a Dominican nun from New Orleans named Sister Mary Ann Culotta helped me change that.

She led a dream workshop. I didn’t even know what a dream workshop was when I walked in the room, but by the time I left, the experience had changed my take on life.

Based on a dream I shared with the group, Sister Mary Ann and the other participants in the circle helped me realize that people could handle me or they couldn’t — either way, I would be happier being my fullest self.

I’m still not completely sure how the dream workshop process works, but life has been fuller and more fun since. If I want to wear orange shoes or pink glasses, I do — sometimes both at the same time.

But living fuller goes beyond my sartorial choices.

The Grand Bazaar gave me one of those discoveries. In the back corridors, surrounded by language I couldn’t decode, along with sights and scents I didn’t recognize, the peripheral noise fell away.

What remained was whatever I chose to focus on.

I realize now that narrowing can feel like a gift — different from Sister Mary Ann’s, but related.

I’ve felt it before, in other forms too. For example, the first time I went contra dancing, I had no idea what I was doing.

Contra dancing is a folk tradition where every person in the line matters. The caller sets the sequence. One wrong step sends

‘We come to worship God in both languages’ Kenner priest guides church through turbulent times

Q&A WITH LUIS DUARTE PASTOR OF ST. JEROME CATHOLIC CHURCH

BY BOB WARREN

Staff writer

When the Rev. Luis Duarte became pastor of St. Jerome Catholic Church in July 2025, he had no idea how deeply his church and congregation would be impacted by the federal government’s immigration sweeps.

Duarte said around 20 members of the Kenner church have been detained since the immigration sweeps dubbed “Catahoula Crunch” were launched late in 2025. Duarte said he isn’t certain what has come of all the cases.

“I don’t have anything against any government,” Duarte said. “The government has the right to do what they consider is good for the citizens and for the country.

But when you see things like what’s going on here in the community . . . You know your parishioners are not criminals and you say ‘There is something wrong here.’ ” Kenner and Jefferson Parish have long been home to a thriving Hispanic population. St. Jerome, where Duarte says perhaps 75% of the 2,000 or so families are Hispanic, was the scene recently of a program to kick off “Love Your Immigrant Neighbor,” a Louisiana Interchurch Conference initiative that seeks to bring people of all denominations together for prayer and to hear the voices of those impacted by the immigration

A native of Colombia, Duarte, 36, arrived in New Orleans a decade ago to study at Notre Dame Seminary.

He spoke only Spanish when he arrived, and learned English while studying for the priesthood.

Duarte steered clear of much of the politics around the immigration sweeps, one of the campaign platforms of President Donald Trump.

But he says it has taken a toll on many people who are just trying to keep their jobs and families intact.

This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

What is the road you’ve taken to get where you are now?

I came (to New Orleans) in 2016. I was 26. They said we need bilingual priests. I was studying in Colombia, philosophy and theology. … I said “Oh, sorry, I don’t speak any English.” (They) said, “That’s OK.” … I prayed about it at the time. I had

never thought about coming to the United States. That wasn’t part of my plan. But God had a different plan for me. I studied for two more years, after the eight years I had already spent studying philosophy and theology.

I was 17 when I started my whole journey to become a priest. (Duarte was ordained in 2020.)

You said members of your congregation became apprehensive in late 2025, with reports that U.S. Border Patrol agents were coming to the New Orleans area. What happened next?

(A woman named) Alma, she was a member of the choir. She was two blocks from St. Jerome. She was coming to Mass and she was stopped. No reason to stop her, it was probably like, 8:10 in the morning. … The family called me [and], then I talked to her and she said, “Oh, Father, I don’t have even a (traffic) ticket.” She even paid for a lawyer and they couldn’t do anything

for her. So it was November, December, then January and she said ‘I’m going to sign to be deported.’ She’s back in Honduras.

Tell me about your congregation.

This parish was founded in 1963. From that moment, they didn’t have a Hispanic community. But some years later, because they saw the demographics and that the Hispanic community was growing, then they opened a Spanish Mass. … It has been, like, more than 40 years with the Hispanic community.

(Kenner’s population is around 65,000, with nearly 30% of its residents being Hispanic or Latino, according to the latest Census data.)

What do you feel is unique to your parish? What makes it stand out?

Here, I have, like, 40 (church) groups. You can come any day from Monday through Sunday and if you come at night there is something going on here. There is always something going

on and that is so beautiful. A lot of young people come to this community — probably it is because when you come here you find somebody that speaks Spanish. … We come to worship God in both languages.

How have immigration enforcement operations impacted St. Jerome?

Most of the people here are Hispanic, and though many of them had documents, they were afraid to go out. … We went form having like 500 people, to having like, 200, or even 100 people coming to Mass.

They were so afraid they were watching Mass (on livestream). Usually we have like 20 people watching Mass because they all come (in person). But (after the crackdown) we had, like, 100 people watching.

They were afraid even to come to worship God. Has the immigration issue been divisive for the St. Jerome congregation? Does part of the congregation support the sweeps?

Actually it was the opposite. Because the community, probably because they have been together for many years, they were the ones bringing food to the people in their homes. They come and ask “Father, what can we do?” I said, “Let’s bring food to people. It was the Anglo community that took care of the Hispanic community.”

As someone who arrived in the United States from a different country, does that put you in a position to better understand what some of your congregation faces?

I think one thing is to speak the language. An-

other thing is to understand the culture. And I’m coming from the same culture.

And for me that is a plus to be a pastor in a community like that. I know the people.

I know how they act. How they speak. How to accompany them. For me it is a blessing. … We have wonderful priests (who) speak Spanish, but sometimes it is not only knowing how to speak the language, but knowing why they are doing what they are doing.

Do you ever feel any concern for yourself?

No, actually, I never do. I have my documents. I ask the Lord, I say, “Lord, now they need me.” I never fear anything. I say, “God, it’s your will. You’re the one that brought me to the United States so if it is your will that I go out, I’ll go.

You arrived not speaking very much English. How difficult was it to learn the language while also studying for the priesthood?

When I started here my biggest fear was to hear confessions. “What if I don’t understand what they are telling me?” (He chuckles.)

But thank God I’ve never experienced anything like that. … I was so disciplined in learning English and the Lord helped me with that.

And New Orleans is a wonderful city. The people are so friendly. I have found that the people are so open.

The tradition of New Orleans is to be a multicultural city so I think that makes this city so beautiful.

BRCC unveils a new center supporting mental health

BY JOY HOLDEN Staff writer

The students at Baton Rouge Community College now have a defined, separate place for mental health — The Safe Space, a renovated, multifunctional office for Counseling and Accessibility Services.

The former Office for Student Life in the Bienvenue Student Center has been transformed into The Safe Space, which now offers a meditation room, relaxation pod, private rooms for counseling, licensed counselors, counseling interns and space for workshops.

Counseling and Accessibility Services, which has traditionally facilitated the accommodations process for students with a psychological, learning or physical disability, has moved around the campus multiple times, so this new ordained space right off of the student union provides some stability and visibility.

“Before, students saw Counseling Accessibility Services like, ‘I have to go there to get accommodations,’ ” said Sarah Barlow, provost/vice chancellor for Workforce and Student Development. “It was like a perfunctory duty of what they needed to do. And now they know that they have a place that’s special for them, and students who might not need accommodation still have a place of respite and care.”

The Louisiana Department of Health subsidized The Safe Space through their Mental Health Fund, and the renovation was completed in less than a year.

“Their commitment recognizes what we know to be true, mental health is public health, and when we strengthen one, we strengthen our entire community,” Barlow said.

The Safe Space opened in January 2026 for students and faculty.

The official ribbon cutting occurred April 29. Provided services will include individual and group counseling, crisis intervention, referral support, workshops, peer support and connections to community-based providers for ongoing care.

The renovation is part of the larger vision of educating the whole student at Baton Rouge Community College, Barlow said.

The community college has recently opened a food pantry and a clothes closet on campus to support students’ needs.

“The more that you can connect with the student and make them feel cared for and that they belong, it’s better all around,” Barlow said.

For Dianna Gilbert Depron, the director of enrollment management, opening The Safe Space and holding the ribbon cutting was the fulfillment of over a year of hard work. Gilbert-Depron says the office has seen a 10% increase of student involvement.

“We are making sure that mental health is a priority and providing a space for them in a space where there is student belonging,” Gilbert-Depron said.

Prioritizing mental health BRCC has nontraditional students pursuing higher education, and many of them have jobs, families and financial stressors in their lives. Providing a place to go when their burdens are too heavy was capital on the minds of the community college administration.

“The Safe Space represents a proactive, compassionate response to the realities facing our students,” Barlow said. “We know that our students are balancing complicated lives outside of the classroom along with their educational journey, and too often, those challenges go unseen or unsupported. This center has been intentionally designed to provide accessible, stigma-free support for our campus community.”

Alisha Diggs, a licensed professional counselor with Counseling and Accessibility Services, echoes Barlow’s sentiments.

“We asked ourselves, ‘Where do students and faculty go when all that they carry becomes too heavy and they need a safe space to break down?’ It’s not in a classroom and it’s not in an office, but in a place where they can escape and take a moment to just breathe.

And the answer to that question is exactly why The Safe Space is here,” Diggs said.

At the ribbon cutting, Diggs reiterated the college’s commitment to care and supporting students.

She hopes The Safe Space is used so often that it grows even more.

“This is a great place to just have a break,” Watson said. “The world is so fast- paced, and we are always running. We forget to give ourselves 10 to 15 minutes to just slow down. And this is the perfect place to do so. We have the privilege to have it and use it.”

Barlow, who has worked either as a faculty member or in the chancellor’s cabinet for 16 years, is proud to see the completion of The Safe Space project.

“A healthy mind is essential to persistence, completion and success. We are not just opening the door and cutting the ribbon, we are opening possibilities for healing, growth and a stronger, more resilient campus community,” Barlow said. “Having a center like this and a place for people to go really means that we’re providing holistic care.”

FAITH & VALUES

Pope Leo XIV’s to-do list one year later

BY NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Unlike Pope Francis, who shook things up early on with a flurry of reforms, appointments and new structures, Pope Leo XIV has sought to find his footing and take a longer view of his pontificate.

Leo has made some significant decisions so far, and has several challenges looming.

Key appointments Several upcoming appointments in the U.S. and at the Vatican will give Leo an opportunity to shape the church’s hierarchy and central governance more to his liking and priorities.

Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich turned 77 in March, two years over the normal retirement age for bishops, meaning Leo could soon name an archbishop for his hometown.

In December, Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez turns 75, giving Leo a chance to name a new leader for the largest U.S. archdiocese.

He already has named Archbishop Ronald Hicks to replace retiring Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York, but that appointment “didn’t ideologically code dramatically one way or the other ... in keeping with Leo’s overall kind of approach to a lot of these decisions,” said Michael Moreland, professor of law and religion at Leo’s alma mater, Villanova University.

At the Vatican, British Cardinal Arthur Roche turned 76 and heads the liturgy office, which was responsible for enforcing Francis’ controversial crackdown on the old Latin Mass. Roche’s eventual successor will be scrutinized to see how Leo might address the divisive issue.

Another Vatican heavyweight is American Cardinal Kevin Farrell, who at 78 is well beyond retirement age but still heads its family and laity office. He also serves

Canadian Cardinal Michael Czerny’s 80th birthday in July will not only make him the oldest Vatican prefect -– he heads the Vatican’s office for migrants, the environment and development — but also will exclude him from voting in the next conclave.

That will reduce the number of voting-age cardinals to 117, below the threshold of 120 that is the usual cap for the number of cardinals under 80 who can vote. That suggests Leo could in the next year announce his first class of new cardinals to choose his successor.

has sought to clean up some of these messes.

In April, the Vatican canceled a Francis initiative, the World Day of Children, which had raised questions about what it aimed to accomplish and why. The cancellation followed Leo’s formal suppression of the ad hoc pontifical commission that Francis had created for the event in 2024.

In December, Leo dissolved a Holy See fundraising commission that was created under questionable circumstances in 2025 while Francis was hospitalized in his final weeks of life. The commission included only Italians with no professional fundraising experience. Its president was the assessor of the Secretariat of State, the same Vatican office that Francis had previously stripped of its ability to manage assets after it lost tens of millions of euros in a Changing Francis’ policies scandalous London property At the start of his pon- deal.

Leo then announced a new tificate, Francis called for young people to shake things committee to develop fundup in their dioceses and raising proposals and struc“make a mess.” Leo already tures.

“The Holy Father was clearly paying attention,” said Ward Fitzgerald, president of The Papal Foundation, a group of wealthy U.S. donors who fund papal charity projects in the developing world. “He realized that it was not going to be highly functional.”

Leo also abrogated a 2022 law issued by Francis that concentrated financial power in the Vatican bank. Leo issued his own law allowing the Holy See’s investment committee to use banks outside the Vatican, if it made better financial sense.

Leo also met with activist survivors of clergy sexual abuse, who said he promised to engage in dialogue as they press the Vatican to adopt a worldwide policy of zero-tolerance for abuse.

Francis had met regularly with individual abuse survivors, but kept advocacy and activist groups at arm’s length.

suggesting he’s open to hearing a variety of views even if he betrays little of his own opinions.

That was he case when he met March 16 with Gareth Gore, author of “Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking and Right-Wing Conspiracy Inside the Catholic Church,” about alleged abuses in the powerful Opus Dei movement.

On Feb. 6, Leo met privately with a delegation from Courage International, a church-run organization that says it helps people with same-sex attraction live chastely. Critics have accused Courage of being anti-gay and promoting conversion therapy, something it denies.

Leo met March 5 with Stephen Bullivant and Stephen Cranney, authors of “Trads: Latin Mass Catholics in the United States.” They had conducted a survey about Catholics who attend the traditional Latin Mass.

Leo is well aware of the controversy surrounding Francis’ crackdown on the Latin Mass and has expressed an eagerness to speak with traditionalists to understand their views as he weighs how to heal the divisions over the old liturgy.

Looming problems

The Latin Mass dispute could come to a head July 1 when four new traditionalist Catholic bishops are consecrated in a ceremony without Leo’s consent. The bishops belong to the breakaway traditionalist group, the Society of St. Pius X, and their consecration will pose the biggest challenge to Leo’s authority to date. If performed, it would amount to a schismatic act all but ensuring their automatic excommunication.

The SSPX is a fringe group within the overall traditionKey audiences with Leo alist Catholic family. But traLeo’s private audiences ditionalist Catholics in full have provided clues into ar- communion with the Holy eas of interest and concern, See are watching what Leo

will do.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, the Vatican faces the prospect of a major break with the German Catholic Church over its long-term reform process known as the Synodal Path.

That has led to the proposed creation of a permanent mixed body of German bishops and lay Catholics who would jointly make decisions, in a major break with Catholic ecclesiology that puts governing power in the hands of bishops alone.

The Vatican has already made clear it opposes such a joint structure, and has also voiced disagreement with German proposals to formalize blessings for same-sex couples, which Francis had allowed but only on an informal, spontaneous basis.

There could be a confrontation when the German proposals are submitted to Rome for final approval.

Big issue to come While some would say the top issue facing Leo is his relationship with President Donald Trump and a possible trip to the U.S. — none is planned this year — Leo would probably point to his long-awaited first encyclical. Expected in the next few weeks, it deals with artificial intelligence and other peace and justice issues.

Leo already has said he considers the AI revolution to be similar in existential scope to the concerns over workers’ rights at the turn of the century confronted by the previous Pope Leo XIII, in his landmark encyclical “Rerum Novarum” (“Of New Things”).

“Like his namesake Leo XIII with the Industrial Revolution, Leo clearly sees the church as having something important to offer in an era of what may turn out to be epochal technological change,” said Dan Rober, associate professor of Catholic studies at Sacred Heart University.

Former Presbyterian church fosters Amish roots music his father was Musicians record a Nonetheless, fan of Johnny Cash and look too closely at what music, videos in didn’t was on Fisher’s MP3 player.

Fisher’s brother came rural Pennsylvania When home from a camping trip

BY MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press

McCOYSVILLE, Pa. — Conrad Fisher’s musical journey has taken him from an Amish country upbringing in Pennsylvania to Nashville and back. These days the singersongwriter has been making videos and recordings of musicians with Amish and Mennonite roots — building audiences well beyond the conservative religious communities.

In April, Fisher took the stage in a former Presbyterian church that he bought for a song and converted into a performance space and recording studio he calls Ragamuffin Hall, in the rural Pennsylvania community of McCoysville.

Fisher performed two soldout concerts with Ben and Rose Stoltzfus, a married couple whose Amish background and church choir harmonies have drawn millions of YouTube clicks. It was a sort of warmup for shows they’re playing together in the coming months at much larger theaters in Pennsylvania and Indiana.

“Ragamuffin Hall,” Fisher said, “is supposed to be a place where those weird things that’ll get you ostracized everywhere else, we’re like, ‘Oh, no, that’s a gift. And here’s how you use it.’ ” Fisher’s parents were both raised in Amish families but his father joined a Mennonite congregation as a young adult. Among the Mennonite churches Fisher attended as a boy, musical instruments were rarely used.

left the Old Order in the mid1960s when he was 10, said the gathering was packed with Mennonite and Amish people. They weren’t dancing, but they did clap.

“I was thrilled to see this happen, because I knew this was a paradigm shift,” he said. “When I was a teenager, it would never have happened.”

with a mix CD featuring Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers and the Beach Boys, it changed his life.

“It blew my mind, right?”

Fisher, now 31, recalled. He started learning keyboards and then guitar, bass and drums before adding music production — “mostly because I was dead set on making a living with music.”

“My buddies would be like, ‘Hey, I wrote a song for my girlfriend. Can you do a track?’ And I’m like, sure.”

Fans on social media

Converted church He moved to Tennessee as a young adult and for three years immersed himself in the songwriting industry — the Oak Ridge Boys even recorded one of his tunes. But the road life didn’t suit him — particularly bar gigs.

“There’s drinking and carrying on,” Fisher said. “It’s just not me. I’m not a prude, but I just don’t enjoy that scene.”

Fisher considers his wife and three children his main priority and he remains a faithful Mennonite — his pastor once asked him why he didn’t just start a cabinetry business and launch a prison ministry. Yet his music production work eventually grew to the point three years ago that he could stop working as a carpenter.

In 2022, Fisher learned an old brick church several miles from his home was up for sale. After he laid out his vision for making it into a music incubator, they sold it to him below market value.

The acts he’s recorded include an Amish man who played steel guitar with his son’s band, a musician who drove for hours from Missouri and an Amish band from Ohio.

In April, he sprinkled his own songs between tunes made popular by Waylon Jennings, Alison Krauss and Don Williams. After a short set by Fisher’s five-piece band, they stayed on stage to back up Ben and Rose. Fisher used an electric guitar fashioned from a beam recovered during his renovations of a church stairwell.

but Amish sacred music dates back half a millennium.

Their 900-page hymnal — the “Ausbund” — was composed in part by Anabaptist prisoners in 16th century Germany and is still used today.

Fisher’s Amish roots and ability to speak Pennsylvania Dutch, the Old Order Amish dialect, has helped build rapport with likeminded musicians.

But Amish church music is almost always group singing only, without instruments or soloists. And the community generally discourages public performances and other “acts of pride.”

“There’s a lot of great talent in that community that goes undeveloped because,” Fisher said — using a PennA paradigm shift on stage sylvania German phrase — The insular culture and un- “that’s just, ‘we don’t do that,’ adorned lives of conserva- you know.”

That’s the sort of pushback tive Anabaptist people aren’t often associated with music, he received in February af-

Fisher felt compelled to respond.

“I’m a believer, I’m a man of faith, and I’m not ashamed of that,” he replied in a video message. “But I do play a lot of different kinds of music, just like, you know, if you’re a shed builder you build sheds for all kinds of people, not just churches and schools.”

Elam Stoltzfus, director of the Nicholas Stoltzfus Homestead in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, said it was “one of the shocks of my life” to attend a charity fundraiser last year at a farm where Ben and Rose performed.

(Stoltzfus is a common name among the Amish.) There were bright lights, a video screen, barbecued chicken and vendors selling T-shirts, CDs and books.

Stoltzfus, whose family

Amos Raber, of Goshen, Indiana, also grew up in a “horse and buggy” Amish family and considered himself Amish until he turned 22. Nowadays, he supports his family with concert performances and revenues garnered from what he says are millions of clicks a month on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and Facebook.

In recent decades, Raber said, he’s seen Amish youth increasingly come together with guitars to sing. But they can still run up against prohibitions on public performances.

“Most times, if you see someone who’s really Amish doing that kind of thing, they’re probably not going to be Amish long,” Raber said. Since they began recording and performing music, Ben and Rose have left their Amish church and joined a different Christian congregation. They declined comment for this story.

LeRoy Stoltzfus, a singersongwriter living near Lancaster, was 13 when his family left the Amish church.

He said changes in the Lancaster Amish settlement in recent years have made it easier for people to leave without losing contact with families and friends, a process called “shunning” that has long fascinated outsiders.

Italian in China Today’s deal is from a recent competition in China.

South was visiting Italian star Giovanni Donati. North bid his shapely hand very aggressively and caught a suitable hand from partner. It required careful handling by Donati, who was up to the task.

Donati ruffed the opening club lead in dummy and led a heart to his king and West’s ace. West persevered with clubs, again ruffed in dummy. This was the position: NORTH ♠KQ ♥ Q 10 8 7 6 3 ♦A3 ♣ Void WEST EAST ♠975 ♠A8 ♥9 ♥J5 ♦J854 ♦ 10 9 7 6 ♣K9 ♣AJ SOUTH ♠ J 10 3 2 ♥ Void ♦KQ2 ♣ Q 10 3 Donati led the king of spades.

zodiaC GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Initiate change for the right reason. Do your best to help others or to make a difference that will help you find greater meaning and purpose in your life. Challenge those who take advantage of others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Protect your reputation, home and loved ones.

A conflict of interest will require thought and going through the proper channels to avoid getting trapped in someone else’s dilemma.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Take liberties, ask questions and be blunt about what your expectations are. Anger won’t solve problems, but sizing up

situations and being willing to compromise will help you find common ground.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A change that influences where or how you earn a living looks promising but is also emotionally challenging. Someone will dismantle your plans by twisting your words or misleading you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Don’t take a risk that can cause insult or injury.

Patience and practicality are necessary to avoid temptation and making poor decisions. Overindulgence will be counterproductive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Whether it’s networking, attending a demon-

stration or learning something that helps you market yourself for topnotch jobs, what you discover will offer insight into what to avoid and what to embellish.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Use your intelligence to guide you through the ups and downs you encounter at home and when dealing with chronic health issues and matters that are counterproductive due to money management or joint ventures.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Put your time, effort and energy into building a lifestyle that brings you greater stability. Wise decisions regarding how you run your household will

contribute to who you surround yourself with.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Enjoying events or spending time with interesting people will boost your confidence. A change to your surroundings or lifestyle will enhance personal growth. Don’t let anger stop you from looking for happiness.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Keep your opinions and plans to yourself. Participate in social events that offer something that intrigues you. An opportunity to expand your interests and friendships will lead to a lifestyle change.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be creative, and choose your words and actions wisely. Keep your emotions under control and your thoughts on completing unfinished business.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Pay attention, use your energy to complete your mission and honor your promises. Stand up for your beliefs, and don’t give anyone a chance to make you look bad.
