Demolition of the former Lindy Boggs hospital begins as owners prepare site for new development

When Orleans Parish Sheriff Michelle Woodfork took the oath of office May 4, she was clear-eyed about the challenges she faced. Years of deferred maintenance had left the jail with broken doors, locks and lighting. Nearly 1 in 5 sworn officer positions was vacant. The agency was reeling from a 20% funding cut from City Hall. And after a dozen years of federal oversight, the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office was regressing in its efforts to create a jail that’s safe, secure and constitutional. Woodfork detailed those and other challenges, as well as the steps she’s taken to address them, at a news conference Tuesday marking her 100th day in office. She made no mention of her predecessor, former Sheriff Susan Hutson, who she defeated in October’s election, and instead said she’s focused on the future.

‘A historic day’ BY RICH COLLINS Staff writer

The Lindy Boggs site has been vacant for decades.

For more than two decades, the former Lindy Boggs Medical Center in Mid-City sat as a hollow shell — a grafﬁti-covered monument to the ravages of Hurricane Katrina and several failed efforts to revive the site. On Tuesday, it began to come down. Shortly after 10 a.m., construction workers operating a pair of 20-ton excavators equipped with hydraulic claws and buckets began ripping apart

one of the former hospital building’s brick walls. They’ll spend the next several months demolishing a structure that for years has been a source of concern for neighbors and one of the city’s most prominent eyesores. New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno, who kicked off the occasion with a news conference on the Conti Street side of the abandoned, 13-acre complex, said the demolition had been a long time coming.

Make It Right organization back in court Brad Pitt program sued for faulty home construction

BY DOUG MacCASH Staff writer

A long-simmering lawsuit against actor Brad Pitt’s post-Katrina neighborhood development Make It Right is back before a New Orleans judge this week after a multimillion-dollar settlement to pay homeowners for shoddy construction didn’t come through. Now, the homeowners are seeking class-action status to get what they believe they’re owed.

WEATHER HIGH 92 LOW 78 PAGE 12A

Make It Right homeowners, who purchased their properties from the nonprofit organization founded by the Hollywood leading man, first sued in 2018 for critical design and construction flaws, breach of contract and fraud. The case has yet to be resolved despite a 2022 settlement, when Global Green, a Los Angeles-based environmental organization, offered $20.5 million to compensate the homeowners on Make It Right’s behalf. But, Global Green didn’t have the money. The lawsuit was derailed for almost three years thereafter.

Cafe proposed for long-vacant sno-ball stand BY JONAH MEADOWS Staff writer

Boutique hospitality developer Jayson Seidman is planning to bring the long-vacant SnoWizard sno-ball stand on Magazine Street back to life as an allday cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Seidman’s vision for the property at the corner of Magazine and Constantinople streets involves converting the 1,500-squarefoot building into a dining Seidman room that seats around 30 and transforming the parking area into more than 1,600 square feet of open-air dining. He also plans to retain the refurbished sno-ball-shaped neon ornamentations from SnoWizard on the building’s exterior.

Congo: 2,000 have died in Ebola outbreak

BUNIA, Congo — At least 2,000 people have died in Congo’s Ebola outbreak, the fastest-growing on record, according to the latest data, as rebel conflict, bad roads and work stoppages over payment issues challenge the urgent response in a remote region. Government data published overnight into Tuesday showed the outbreak has 4,381 confirmed cases, including 2,011 deaths. Starting from the first confirmed case, the death toll was reached almost three times faster than in the 2014-16 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the worst on record. The current outbreak was declared on May 15 but health authorities now say sequencing showed it began months earlier, in February. It took about nine weeks for the outbreak to record the first 1,000 deaths, but it’s taken just around three weeks for the figure to double, as experts say the crisis is moving faster than efforts to track and manage it. This is already the secondlargest outbreak in history, behind the 2014-2016 outbreak’s over 28,000 cases including over 11,000 deaths. The outbreak has been expanding across five eastern provinces near South Sudan, Uganda and Rwanda. The ongoing outbreak has had a case fatality rate of 45.9%, more than the 39.6% rate recorded in the 2014-2016 outbreak. This Ebola outbreak is unlike most previous ones. The rare Bundibugyo virus responsible for it has no approved vaccines or treatments. Clinical trials for those have begun in Ituri province.

2.4M Afghan girls shut out of secondary school

ANKARA, Turkey — An estimated 2.4 million Afghan girls remain excluded from secondary education ﬁve years after the Taliban took over the country, a U.N. agency said Tuesday, renewing a call for an immediate restoration of their right to education. UNESCO, the Paris-based U.N. Educational, Scientiﬁc and Cultural Organization, said the continued exclusion of women and girls from education amounted to a grave violation of their fundamental rights. “Afghanistan remains the only country in the world where girls and women are formally banned from secondary and higher education,” Hoda Jaberian, UNESCO’s program coordinator for education in emergencies, said in a news conference by video. “Five years is not a temporary interruption in a child’s education. It is clearly almost an entire secondary school cycle.” Jaberian said: “UNESCO continues to call for the immediate and unconditional restoration of girls and women’s right to secondary and higher education. It is not negotiable. It’s a basic human right and we reiterate that there is no substitute for this.” The Taliban seized power on Aug. 15, 2021, as U.S. and NATO forces withdrew from the country after two decades of war.

Prosecutors want Tates to remain in custody

MIAMI — Prosecutors want social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate to remain in federal custody, arguing Monday that the brothers are a flight risk and a danger to the community, as they fight extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking. Three days after defense attorneys filed a motion for release, prosecutors filed their response in Miami federal court, where a hearing on Thursday will determine if the brothers should stay in jail or be released during what could be a monthslong extradition process. The brothers have repeatedly denied wrongdoing. The detention hearing is likely to be the first time the Tates leave the Federal Detention Center in Miami since making a brief court appearance two days after their July 18 arrest. The Tates have become among the world’s most polarizing internet personalities with their promotion of wealth, male dominance and misogyny through their social media empire.

Houthis kill 6 in attack on vessel By The Associated Press

Yemeni authorities said six people were killed by Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacking a vessel in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, while U.S. forces fired on a ship they said was trying to break a blockade of Iran’s ports. Yemen’s coast guard said the dead included four crew members and two members of the government-allied National Resistance Forces. Houthis fired three ballistic missiles at the Yemeni commercial vessel, according to the Transportation Ministry of Yemen’s internationally recognized government. They are the first known deaths from Houthi attacks on shipping off Yemen in the latest bout of fighting in the Arab country. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut down by Iran, there has been a renewed focus on the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb strait at Yemen’s southern tip, which is an alternate route for Saudi Arabia to ship its oil. The deadly vessel strike came amid Houthi attacks on the government-held port city of Mokha on the Red Sea and other areas of the country. Dozens of government troops and civilians have been killed in attacks since last week, according to the Yemeni military. The strikes are part of an escalation by the Houthis against government forces in Yemen and oil facilities in neighboring Saudi Arabia, which supports the Yemeni government, and the kingdom’s

warships, including two aircraft carriers and an amphibious assault ship, stationed in the waters of the Arabian Sea. Iran has kept up its attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, largely shutting it off. It has refused to back down on demands that the U.S. end its blockade of Iranian ports, lift sanctions on the Islamic Republic and fulﬁll other conditions. Iran effectively closed the strait after Israel and the U.S. attacked the country on Feb. 28.

Naqvi’s visit aimed to encourage Iran to resume negotiations with the United States under an interim peace deal brokered by Pakistan in June, two ofﬁcials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted photos from his meeting with Naqvi on his private Telegram channel.

WASHINGTON — Russia released an American military veteran on Tuesday, allowing his return to the U.S. after four years of what his family and U.S. ofﬁcials allege was wrongful incarceration and abusive treatment that left him near death. Robert Gilman, a 32-yearold Massachusetts teacher and former Marine, was freed after President Donald Trump said he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about his release, which Trump said was “very much on a Humanitarian Basis.” “We appreciate this decision, and the fact that Russia asked for no one in return — No exchange took place,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform. Arrests of Americans have become increasingly common in Russia in recent years. Concern has risen that Russia could be targeting U.S. nationals to use later as bargaining chips in talks to bring back Russians convicted of crimes in the U.S. and

Former Syrian President Assad sentenced to death in absentia

BY GHAITH ALSAYED and SAMAR KASSABALI Associated Press

DAMASCUS, Syria — A Syrian court on Tuesday sentenced ousted President Bashar Assad and his brother in absentia for murder, torture and crimes against humanity committed before and during the country’s 14-year civil war that left about half a million people dead. The verdicts by a court in Damascus are the first against Assad or any members of his inner circle since his family’s five decades in power came to an end 20 months ago. They are mostly symbolic, however, because Assad and his brother Maher had fled to Russia, where they received asylum after the

Syrian government’s stunning collapse in December 2024. Six other former officials were also sentenced to death in absentia. The only former official sentenced to death and in custody is Assad’s maternal cousin Atef Najib, who oversaw a crackdown on dissent that led to an uprising that sparked the civil war. Najib stood inside a cage wearing a prisoner’s uniform as the judge read his sentence aloud, and a crowd gathered outside the heavily guarded courthouse. Even though Assad is unlikely to ever face justice, the verdicts will be popular among many Syrians, especially those who have expressed frustration that the new government hasn’t

moved with enough speed or strength against Assadera ﬁgures. Some human rights groups, though, expressed concerns that the trials were rushed, potentially unfair and, at the very least, exposed ﬂaws in Syria’s justice system. “Bashar Assad used state agencies to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity,” Judge Fakhareddine al-Aryan said during a court session that was aired live on state TV — a contrast with Assad-era trials, which were conducted in secret. The verdicts al-Aryan read aloud found Assad and the others guilty of premeditated murder, including against children, as well as other acts of brutality, including torture.

ing a guard. In October 2024, he was sentenced to eight years and one month. His sentence was extended in December to 10 years after he was found guilty of assaulting prison guards. Russian media reported that he pleaded guilty to the charges and apologized to the guards he was charged with assaulting. The business daily Kommersant said he explained his actions by saying he wanted to stay in the prison where he was serving his sentence and avoid being moved to another penitentiary. Gilman’s father has disputed the charges against his son, while the State Department has said the U.S. determined that Gilman was wrongfully detained.

WOODFORK

Continued from page 1A “We are not using what we inherited as an excuse,” Woodfork said. “We are using it as a starting point. We are not here to assign blame. We are here to accept responsibility for moving this agency forward.” Woodfork has said her goal is to get New Orleans’ jail in full compliance with its court-ordered reform agreement, or consent decree, within her ﬁrst year in ofﬁce. To do so, she said, she’ll need more funding. “Safe and constitutional correctional facilities require resources,” Woodfork said. Whether she gets that bump in funding will come into clearer focus in September, when Mayor Helena Moreno is expected to release her proposed budget for 2027. As of Tuesday, there were 1,479 people awaiting trial housed in New Orleans’ lockup. That’s 200 more than the population limit set by the City Council and “far more bodies than we can constitutionally supervise with our reduced manpower,” Woodfork said.

Continued from page 1A “We want to pay respect to what was there,” said Seidman, a co-developer of Hotel Saint Vincent and the operator of the Columns Hotel and Hotel Henrietta. “For us, it’s embracing the funkiness and quirkiness in terms of the architecture and design.” In recent months, Seidman has ﬁled his plans with the city and ﬁnalized a lease for the site with its longtime owners. The project marks the latest step in the boutique hotelier’s expansion into operating standalone restaurants, following his popular Jackson Square oyster and cocktail bar Fives, which is expanding, another forthcoming French Quarter concept and a planned Oak Street bar. And it would also put an end to a yearslong vacancy at a prominent corner within one of the city’s most expensive retail corridors, whose owners have been holding out for the right local operator.

contract oversight. She also said her administration had reduced “discretionary and nonessential spending,” though she didn’t provide examples when asked by a reporter. Woodfork said they’re examining the quality of their food service, medical treatment and programming for inmates. Woodfork said her administration is focused on creating a culture of “accountability” at the Sheriff’s Office. She said that means acknowledging issues they’ve confronted, listing them off. In early June, a pair of inmates allegedly started a fire using a pile of mattresses, jumpsuits, blankets and Styrofoam plates. Later that month, one inmate assaulted another inside a housing unit with a homemade weapon, resulting non-life-threatening injuries for both. And on July 27, Saliou Thiam, a 40-year-old, father of two awaiting trial on two counts of first-degree robbery and one count of resisting an officer, was pronounced dead after being found unresponsive in his cell. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office has yet to release a cause of death. “We have not hidden from any

challenge. We have investigated them. We have addressed them. And we have used them to identify weaknesses that must be correct,” she said. Woodfork, in her prepared remarks, didn’t touch on her decision at the Sheriff’s Office to hire former NOPD Officer Anthony Bakewell, who was ousted from the police force after inspectors determined he had sexually harassed a female subordinate and made derogatory remarks about her in front of other officers. Asked about the decision to hire Bakewell, Woodfork said, “Just like we give the folks that are housed here that are charged with crimes second chances, we wanted to give him a second opportunity.” Bakewell resigned from the Sheriff’s Office after his hiring was reported. The independent monitors for the consent decree are scheduled to tour the jail next week, though their report on conditions inside the lockup won’t be released for another six months. U.S. District Court Judge Lance Africk, who has overseen the consent decree since its adoption in 2013, has scheduled a status hearing for Tuesday.

Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend the City Council approve his plans for a permit to operate a restaurant on the site. Several nearby business owners endorsed the plans at Tuesday’s hearing. Bonnie Wilson, co-owner of Weinstein’s with Roz Ditta, said the surrounding area has changed dramatically over recent decades, and an all-day cafe next door to the clothier would be a welcome addition. “It would just make the whole part of that street come alive, and we really need it,” Wilson said. “There’s not a restaurant, or a coffee shop, or a place to really chill within a few blocks.” Council approval is required for the restaurant because of a special zoning overlay district that covers all of Magazine Street. The zoning code requires that any new restaurant on Magazine Street wanting to sell alcohol undergo a monthslong approval process for a “conditional use” permit before even applyExtra obstacle ing for building and other permits. “To be honest, it’s been surprisSeidman’s latest project cleared its ﬁrst hurdle Tuesday, when the ing, as to all the hoops one would

have to jump through,” Seidman said. City planners have said the requirement, which adds considerable cost and time to the process, is a needless barrier to new businesses. In a study completed last year, the commission recommended eliminating the additional hurdle for new restaurants on Magazine, which is “unnecessarily hindering economic activity along a major commercial corridor.” The six-mile Magazine Street corridor, home to nine restaurants endorsed by Michelin in its inaugural New Orleans guide, also has its fair share of vacant former restaurant spaces, with Gris Gris and Coquette the most recent departures. And once a space permitted for a restaurant is left unused for more than six months, the operator must go back to square one to seek a fresh conditional use permit. “It’s my work, it’s how I make money, but I also think we can only suffocate business owners so much, and right now we’re a city where it’s so hard to do business,” said Maddy Charleston, Seidman’s land-use consultant. “We’re known as the city of ‘no.’ ”

where the public can track the jail’s population.) The Sheriff’s Office under Hutson faced repeated criticism from independent monitors for failing to provide round-the-clock, direct supervision on its housing units, as required by the consent decree. Asked what she’s doing to improve supervision, Woodfork pointed to an order she issued requiring her command staff and executive team to fill in when the jail is short on personnel. She said just the other day, she got a call from her warden saying they were undermanned. “I got up, put my uniform on and I worked the pod,” Woodfork said. Woodfork said Sheriff’s Office staff deserve “competitive compensation” and will also be seeking additional funding to provide raises. The Sheriff’s Office offers the lowest starting salary of any sheriff’s office in southeastern Louisiana, according to a recent report by the Louisiana legislative auditor. Woodfork said her administration has expanded “proactive security sweeps,” and strengthened its partnerships with state and federal law enforcement partners.

During her first week in office, the Sheriff’s Office conducted a sweep of the jail’s housing units with the help of 120 employees from the state Department of Public Safety and Corrections, she said. The shakedown resulted in the confiscation of 26 shanks, according to an incident report. Woodfork also said she’s signed a contract with the Washington, D.C.-based consulting firm Bancroft Global Development to stem the flow of drugs into the jail and “gather as much intelligence” about the detainees at the jail to determine where best to house them. Woodfork worked with the firm in her previous role at the District Attorney’s Office. She touted the creation of a new Security and Accountability Council, composed of outside experts and government officials, which held its first meeting last month and is tasked with developing recommendations for improving the safety and security at the jail. Woodfork also highlighted efforts to restore fiscal discipline at the agency. She said she issued a budget accountability memo to all division heads establishing new standards for spending review and

Magazine Street with her brother, Sud antique store co-owner Richard Dragisic, said they turned down many suitors, national brands among them, before finding the right ﬁt for the SnoWizard site. “We looked for a very long time to ﬁnd somebody to integrate into the neighborhood because we are very, very pro-New Orleans and we wanted someone who could love and respect that area,” Floyd said. “Jayson came along, and everybody in the neighborhood was elated.”

meal,” Seidman said. After opening a string of boutique hotels in New Orleans starting with the Drifter and the Frenchmen Hotel, both of which he subsequently sold, Seidman has made a conscious move into the restaurant game. “It’s a smaller scale, it’s a little easier in terms of getting to market versus a hotel, which can take three to ﬁve years,” he said. With the lion’s share of hotel revenue often coming through food and beverage sales anyway, Seidman said it’s a natural ﬁt to bring his existing team, including chef Paul Terrebonne, to another concept. While the yet-to-be named Magazine Street restaurant is not expected to open before late 2027, Seidman has more expansions planned in the next six months. He said he plans to open a new French Quarter concept in the coming weeks, expand Fives into the adjacent unit and open a new bar on Oak Street, the details of which he said it was too early to disclose.

Years in the making Seidman said he’d had his eye on the corner property for years before inking the deal to lease it from Dragisic and Floyd. “I always feel like real estate that just sits there underutilized is tragic,” Seidman said. “It’s such a magniﬁcent corner.” The all-day cafe concept restaurant aims to be upscale without being stuffy, he said, with a focus on fresh, healthy and local ingredients rather than any particular regional cuisine. “It’s ideally intended for people to walk their dogs, bring their kids, bring their dates and have a nice

Search for missing pushes on after Colombia quake BY ASTRID SUÁREZ, MEGAN JANETSKY and MARKO ALVAREZ Associated Press

PEREIRA, Colombia — Rescue crews and civilians in Colombia painstakingly searched through rubble Tuesday in the hopes of finding survivors trapped under debris after a powerful earthquake left thousands missing in dozens of cities and towns. The 7.4 magnitude earthquake that hit western Colombia on Monday wreaked havoc, collapsing buildings, buckling roads, crushing cars and leaving devastated residents to console each other among the wreckage of their homes. Excavators and heavy machinery cleared heavy chunks of concrete, while buckets of rubble were passed hand-to-hand along a line of volunteers. Rescue crews and volunteers picked through flat-

Residents and rescue workers search through the rubble Monday after an earthquake struck Cali, Colombia. tened concrete buildings in affected cities, searching for signs of life. They raised their hands to call for silence when they thought they heard someone beneath the piles of debris. At least one woman was retrieved — alive — from the rubble.

Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella said the earthquake killed at least 181 people and left 2,595 more injured. He said at least 195 remained missing, but civilian-run databases suggest that number could be closer to 4,000.

Authorities said the deaths were concentrated in the cities of Cali, Pereira, Manizales and Quibdo, but local leaders and families worried about casualties and damage in rural areas, from where very little information has emerged. Aid agencies consider the ﬁrst 48 to 72 hours crucial for retrieving people alive, though that threshold can be extended if they have access to food and water. De la Espriella said more than 1,000 homes were destroyed and yet more damaged. Standing near the remains of his brother’s collapsed apartment building in Pereira, Jairo Vargas said he made the 135-mile drive from Medellin, hoping to ﬁnd him alive. “I’m absolutely certain he’s here. Absolutely certain,” Vargas said, adding that his brother’s car was still parked outside. But he fears his sib-

ling did not survive. “The debris surrounding my brother is soft,” he said, as heavy machinery rumbled nearby. “It’s possible that it’s protecting him, but we can’t hear any noises anymore. I don’t know. I have little hope.” The earthquake presents the first major test for firsttime officeholder de la Espriella, who entered office just days before the natural disaster. The leader, who split the country in recent elections, now seeks to unite Colombia in its disaster response. That challenge was particularly notable in Choco, the region at the quake’s epicenter. It is one of Colombia’s poorest and most neglected regions, often beset by warring armed groups. Much of Choco is accessible only by boat, through the jungle or by airplane.

Two students from Louisiana competing in Patriot Games BY MATTHEW ALBRIGHT Staff writer

Two Louisiana students are competing this week in games like dodgeball, kickball, and endurance and sports skills challenges as they represent the state in the Patriot Games, a national athletic competition that is part of President Donald Trump’s celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary. Owen Dozier-George, a senior at Lafayette High School, and Eva Melton, a junior at Mount Carmel Academy in New Orleans, are competing with other high school athletes from every state at Spire Academy in Geneva, Ohio. One boy and one girl will be chosen as winners, each receiving a $125,000 prize. Athletes competed Sunday,

All of Louisiana is going to be watching them and cheering them on.” The competitions include dodgeball, kickball, tug-ofwar and “victory hoops,” a

BOSTON — A federal judge on Tuesday ruled against President Donald Trump’s executive order that sought to create a federal voter list and directly involve the U.S. Postal Service in election operations in a way that would limit mail voting. U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani had already halted the order Trump signed in March, his second one attempting to set national election rules. On June 25, she sided with Democratic state attorneys general in granting summary judgment, preventing the core parts of Trump’s order from taking effect.

Tuesday’s ruling creates another legal hurdle for the Trump administration to overcome should it get the initial injunction lifted by the U.S. Supreme Court. “That it is now less than 90 days before the November 3, 2026, midterm elections underscores the critical need for an injunction to prevent Defendants from changing election rules on the eve of the election,” she wrote. The Trump administration in late July requested that the Supreme Court halt lower court decisions that have blocked the sweeping changes in nearly half the country. In the latest lawsuit, Talwani, who was nominated by Democratic President Barack Obama, sided with

The Patriot Games are part of Freedom 250, a series of celebrations the Trump administration created to celebrate the anniversary of the signing of Declaration of Independence. Other events have included a fair on the National Mall featuring tents by Louisiana and other states and a massive ﬁreworks show. It will also include an IndyCar race on the streets of Washington, D.C., on Aug. 22-23.

leader in the region, said Choco’s capital and smaller communities along the Atrato River were devastated. Homes were reduced to rubble and aftershocks continued to rumble, terrifying residents who slept in the streets overnight. The Colombian Geological Service said it has documented more than 100 less powerful aftershocks since the initial quake. “There are towns where people have lost everything, where people have died, where homes have been destroyed,” he said. “We don’t have a full panorama of the damage, but we know it’s been massive.” De la Espriella traveled to Quibdo in Choco on Monday night where he announced he was mobilizing “the entire military and police apparatus,” as well as deploying engineers, rescue workers and search dogs.

Her ruling granting a preliminary injunction barred the Postal Service from taking any steps to implement the order for this year’s midterm elections. She said the administration has so far declined to defend the constitutionality of the executive order. “The executive branch has no authority to regulate elections,” she wrote. Plaintiffs argued in two lawsuits, both ﬁled in federal court in Boston, that the Republican president’s order should be found unconstitutional because the states and Congress, not the president, have the power to set election rules.

Now Available: A Non-Surgical, Drugless Method of Relieving Pain …

If You’re Over Thirty THIS IS THE BEST TREATMENT YOU CAN USE FOR YOUR SCIATICA, BACK PAIN, and HERNIATED DISCS Call TODAY for Special Offer, for 7 Days Only! 225-763-9894 Expires 8/12/2026

The conditions this amazing treatment has proven succesful are: • Low Back Pain • Neck Pain • Disc Herniations • Sciatica

• Numbness in Legs or Feet • Radiating Hip Pain • Numbness or Tingling in the Arms and Hands

Pain affects every part of your life- walking, sitting, and even sleeping. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your nerve or back pain hurts - and it just won’t go away. Scientific studies tell us that spinal discs are most often the root cause of aches and pain that people suffer from. These discs act as cushions between the vertebrae and create the necessary space for nerves to exit the spinal column. But when discs are injured, worn down, or begin to degenerate, they bulge or herniate - pressing on nerve roots and triggering pain in the back or neck. This pressure can also lead to radiating pain in the hips, legs, feet or arms. We are Dr. Scott LeBlanc and Dr. Dana LeBlanc, owners of LeBlanc Spine Center. We know what it’s like to be in pain, because we see it every day. We have treated thousands of patients over the past 14 years at our Baton Rouge and Kenner offices. Disc issues are common, but patients suffering are usually given limited options of treatment. We run these big newspaper ads to let people in the community know there is another option- without injections or surgery! NON-SURGICAL SPINAL DECOMPRESSION is a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment for herniated, ruptured, bulging and degenerative discs. It has been proven to reverse disc herniations and relieve nerve pain, back pain, and radiating pain. At LeBlanc Spine Center, we have state-of-the-art technology that iis FDA cleared and very successful in relieving pain in pain- even when other treatments have failed. Unlike other treatments that only mask symptoms, spinal decompression addresses the root cause of your pain-restoring disc height, improving spinal alignment, and reducing nerve compression. PROOF THIS TREATMENT WORKS There’s plenty of research to back up the claims of Spinal Decompression Therapy and its effectiveness. Here are just a few of the published scientific studies …

• “Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function...No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injections, surgery).” American Academy of Pain Management • “We thus submit that decompression therapy should be considered first, before the patient undergoes a surgical procedure which permanently alters the anatomy and function of the affected lumbar spine segment.” Journal Of Neuroscience Research

Dr. Scott LeBlanc, D.C. Dr. Dana LeBlanc, D.C.

• “86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy reported immediate resolution of symptoms.” - Orthopedic Technology Review • “Vertebral axial (spinal) decompression was successful in 71% of the 778 cases” - Journal of Neurological Research • “Good to excellent relief in 86% of patients with Herniated discs” - The American Journal of Pain Management • “Decompression Therapy reported a 76.5% with complete remission and 19.6% with partial remission of pain and disability” - Rio Grande Hospital, Department of Neurosurgery You will sit with the doctor one on one to go over your x-rays, and you’ll get to see everything first hand. At LeBlanc Spine Center, our goal is to help you live pain-free and return to the activities you love. We genuinely enjoy meeting with patients, answering questions, and showing firsthand how spinal decompression can be a life-changing solution. If you’ve been living with back or neck pain, we invite you to schedule a one-onone consultation and experience what sets our clinic apart-personalized attention, proven technology, and compassionate care. There is no charge at all and you don’t need to buy anything. You don’t have to go on living in pain- Call us today! 225-763-9894

SEE WHAT SOME OF OUR PATIENTS HAVE TO SAY … Before coming to LeBlanc Spine Center, I was dealing with low back pain and an SI joint problem, and I had no gel between my lower joints. I had been struggling with this for about a year and had tried exercises and wearing belts just to get by. Since starting care here, I’d say I’ve improved about 80%. The pain relief has made a real difference, and I’ve also noticed improved posture. The staff here is a great group to work with - they really care and treat you well. I can’t say there’s anything I disliked about my care, because everything has been positive. I may not be doing anything brand new, but I’m doing it with less pain than before, and that has made life better. I would definitely recommend LeBlanc Spine Center to others because they’re a great group to work with, they help improve posture, and most importantly, they help reduce pain.

I had been suffering with lower back pain, sciatic pain, and numbness in my feet. I began Spinal Decompression treatments at LeBlanc Spine Center and I am now 80% improved! I can now stand and sit for longer periods without any pain, and I am able to walk longer distances. I am feeling so much better. The staff here treats me excellent. One of the best things about my care at LeBlanc Spine Center is that I am shown care and concern. I would recommend LeBlanc Spine Center and the treatment- everyone here is so nice and it has been so helpful!

I had been suffering for about 8 months with pain shooting down my left arm and shoulder. I had previously tried injections in my shoulders, and I was still suffering. I came to Dr. LeBlanc and began Spinal Decompression treatments. I am now 90% improved! My range of motion has improved 95% and I have no more pain at night. I am now able to do anything I want- all without the pain! What I like most about my care here is the personal care from the whole staff and the Doctor’s.

On Monday, lawyers began debating the situation anew in Orleans Parish Civil District Court at a hearing to determine whether to certify a class action for the plaintiff homeowners. There’s little argument that the homes Make It Right built were leaky and prone to rot. In 2018, the organization sued

its managing architect for allegedly allowing poor building practices to take place. At the conclusion of the hearing, Civil District Judge Lori Jupiter will determine if all 106 Make It Right homeowners can join the class. Ron Austin, the New Orleans attorney representing the homeowners, argued that the same design and construction practices applied to all of the homes made by Make It Right, so a class-action lawsuit was in order.

torney Sid Angelle put it, “No two construction defect cases are the same.” Pitt was not required to attend the court proceedings, which are expected to last for at least two weeks. The modest Lower 9th Ward neighborhood north of North Claiborne Avenue was catastrophically flooded by a levee wall collapse during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

even as the neighborhood around it sprung to life. Within sight of the empty hospital, there’s daily pedestrian traffic on the greenway, a weekly farmer’s market and the annual Bayou Boogaloo festival. More than a half-dozen bustling restaurants and bars operate nearby. Meanwhile, the former Lindy Boggs has stayed high on the list of the city’s “dirty dozen” blighted properties, joining Plaza Tower in the Central Business District, the Market Street Power Plant in the Lower Garden District and the former Navy complex in the Bywater, which is Empty since Katrina undergoing a transformation The Lindy Boggs Medical of its own.

four or five times over time.” Crews have been preparing the site for teardown since July, Flower said. They have installed monitoring equipment and taken other protective measures. Environmental remediation efforts are complete in the old central plant and nursing school buildings, the first two slated for demolition. Remediation of the main hospital building is expected to be complete next month, and its demolition will last up to eight months. While crews work, they will protect on-site trees, Moreno said. When that process is complete, workers will install the water retention tank the developers say will reduce street flooding near the site. “It will effectively increase the stormwater capacity of the system in this area,” Flower said Tuesday. “Through engineering studies that we did, we found that depending upon the storm, the water level in the street will be between six and 12 inches less than without it.” Flower said the inlet and outlet structures on city land will be donated to the city, which will maintain them. The owners of the building will maintain the rest of the system. Jeff Schwartz, New Orleans’ deputy mayor of economic development, said Tuesday said the unique resilient infrastructure is designed to be inexpensive over time.

“This is a historic day,” Moreno said. “This project will reduce a major source of blight and vacancy that has been left behind for the past 21 years and it’s creating one of the largest examples of public stormwater infrastructure on private property.” After city officials left the site, workers continued to deconstruct the building as news cameras captured their progress. Developers Paul Flower and Bill Hoffman, whose Mercy Partners purchased the property in 2021, said those workers and others will spend the next nine months or so removing asbestos from the site and demolishing the buildings before constructing a 4 million-gallon subsurface water retention tank in the building’s former basement. Then, the team will prepare the site for new development. Financing and exact specifications for that development are still up in the air, but Flower and Hoffman said they expect to create a roughly $100 million mixed-use building with space for apartments, retail and offices. The start of the long-delayed project is the result of a public-private partnership between the city and the development team that means the city will contribute $11.5 million, raised from city

bonds approved by voters last year, to the demolition, remediation and the water retention efforts. The developers said that funding was key to getting the project off the ground and paving the way for phase two, which they say will likely rise four or five stories above the busy intersection of Norman C. Francis Parkway and Bienville Street, steps away from the Lafitte Greenway linear park. There’s been a wave of public and private investment in the area since Katrina, including the greenway itself, new multifamily projects and more than a half-dozen restaurants and bars, but the blighted Lindy Boggs property has cast a shadow over it all. Hoffman said his team plans to change that. “Over this next year we’re going to finalize the plan for what goes on top, and we’ll get the financing in place so we can move forward next year,” he said after the news conference.

Austin said if a class-action suit isn’t permitted, the homeowners — some of whom are elderly — “don’t have the money or time to sue individually.” The team of lawyers representing various parties associated with the Make It Right organization took turns objecting to Austin’s point of view, hoping to convince the court that the houses were plagued by many, varied factors and mustn’t be lumped together. As Make It Right at-

“It’s gravity fed, so it does not require a huge amount of maintenance in order to keep it operational,” he said. And Flower said his team will be able to build on top of the tank. “The existing foundations of the building will support the water that’s going in there,” he said. “For the parts of the buildings over the tank, we’re going to have to drive foundations underneath the basement slab, putting a column through it.” After the water retention system is complete, the developers hope to start construction of 150 to 200 rental units along with retail and ofﬁce space in an area of the city with potential to grow. “This is the largest area available for development in Mid-City, which is one of the most popular sections of the city, especially for young professionals moving in,” Hoffman said. Mid-City residents and business owners expressed excitement about the start of demolition at the Lindy Boggs site. Among them is chef Tom Intavichai, co-owner of the Thai restaurant Chada, which opened in January across Bienville Street from the abandoned hospital’s former main entrance. The restaurant hosted a post-news conference reception on Tuesday, feeding a few dozen construction workers and others. “We haven’t had any problems, but the empty building

has caused concerns about safety because you can see young kids running around in there at night,” Intavichai said. “This is going to make the area safer and prettier.” Rebekah Bradshaw, a teacher who has lived at the corner of Moss and Dumaine streets for more than a decade, said she’s gotten used to seeing the building from her back porch, and she’s a fan of some of the “clever and creative” artwork on-site, but she knows the property can’t stay in that condition. “It’s dangerous and needs to come down and put to better use in our community,” she said. “I hope anything toxic is contained, because it’s a high-density area with lots of people who could potentially breathe in hazards.” Sidney Torres IV, who owns several properties in the area, including a 6-acre empty lot across the street from the Lindy Boggs complex, said the “building coming down is a huge win for the neighborhood and the city.” Torres said the size of the hospital building and the way it was designed made it difﬁcult to convert, “so it’s better to be able to start from scratch with an empty canvas to develop what they want.” Torres said he and the Lindy Boggs site owners have discussed potential joint ventures. “Our development is going to depend on what they do,” he said. “I think mixed use residential is important because there’s not a lot of inventory in Mid-City.”

million to erect avant-garde, ecologically sound houses, designed by some of the world’s great architects, including Frank Gehry, Shigeru Ban and David Adjaye. Ground was broken in 2008, and 106 homes were built by 2016. The dwellings eventually sold to former neighborhood residents and others at affordable prices. In its early years, the neighborhood became a tourist attraction, a model of altruism and creative recovery. Soon

enough though, residents began calling attention to premature problems with their properties. The wood used to build stairs, decks and other weather-exposed features deteriorated especially rapidly. Two of the houses were deemed unsalvageable and were demolished in 2018 and 2020. Neither the lawyers we spoke to in the course of the hearing, nor the six plaintiffs present in court would comment on the proceedings.

Trump used elaborate ruse to leave Turkey lll

and another person Report: President operation with knowledge of the president’s travel. The Associated swapped planes Press has not independently following summit conﬁrmed the report.

By The Associated Press President Donald Trump secretly flew out of last month’s NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, on an alternate military aircraft while the White House made it appear that the Republican president was flying on Air Force One, according to a report published by The Washington Post. The Post said Monday the operation was prompted by an Iranian assassination threat against Trump. The ruse was carried out as journalists and some White House staff members were led to believe they were on the same plane as the president as he began his journey back to Washington from the annual gathering of NATO country leaders. The Post cited material reviewed by the newspaper, a U.S. official familiar with the

Trump had flown to the summit in a new Qatari-gifted and retrofitted red, white and navy blue jet. But ahead of departing Turkey, he said he would fly partway home on an older-model baby blue Air Force One plane instead. The president at the time said the new luxury jet was being flown out ahead of his departure from Ankara to give some U.S. troops based in eastern England a chance to check out the new Air Force One. In Ankara, Trump boarded the old Air Force One jumbo jet in view of television cameras ahead of the plane flying to Royal Air Force Mildenhall in the United Kingdom. However, according to the Post report, after boarding the legacy Air Force One jet, he was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — an Air Force C-32A — via an airport catering truck

the secret operation to whisk Trump out of the country on a third aircraft, or the reported elaborate ruse to make it appear he was on the baby blue Air Force One jet ﬂying to Mildenhall.

“As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal to address those threats,” White House communica-

tions director Steven Cheung said in a statement. The U.S. Secret Service declined to comment. The Air Force, which maintains the ﬂeet of executive travel aircraft, referred questions to the White House. While Trump was in Turkey, the U.S. military conducted a series of large strikes in Iran in retaliation for its attacks on merchant shipping in the region. The New York Times and CBS News reported last month that intelligence officials had raised concerns about a potential attack on the president or his jet, triggering additional precautions and the decision not to use the newly inaugurated aircraft gifted to Trump by Qatar for the ﬁrst leg of Trump’s trip home from Ankara. The swap had spurred questions about the security of the Qatar-provided aircraft, and Trump said last month after the trip that it would undergo additional upgrades.

ICE plans to give officers gloves that deliver painful shocks BY RYAN J. FOLEY Associated Press

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers may soon be outﬁtted with gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks intended to gain compliance from combative individuals. ICE plans to spend up to $20 million to purchase thousands of “conductive distraction and de-escalation devices” for ofﬁcers and agents by March, according to a notice published Monday by the Department of Homeland Security.

The devices are known as the GLOVE, which stands for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter, and are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC, of Lexington, Kentucky. They have been used in recent years by some jails and police departments. DHS said Tuesday that it was working on a response to an Associated Press inquiry and offered no immediate comment. Jeff Niklaus, the founder and CEO of Compliant Technologies, wrote in an email, “Unfortunately, we are unable to speak on this subject.”

The notice said the solicitation for a no-bid contract could be published as early as Friday. Civil rights advocates expressed alarm at the plan, saying ICE ofﬁcers already face criticism for their use of force with little oversight or accountability while enforcing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. Compliant Technologies says the devices function as a normal pair of patrol gloves until ofﬁcers press a switch to activate their electrical mode. The gloves must be

applied directly to someone’s skin to deliver a pain stimulus that typically helps an officer gain compliance within seconds, according to the company. “It’s immediate and sharp, and it will distract you. I call it like a bee sting,” said John Peters, president of the Institute for the Prevention of In-Custody Deaths, who is studying how the device has been used. “If the ofﬁcer is getting any type of resistance from the person, this is certainly an effective tool.” Peters said he believed

ICE’s planned purchase would likely be the largest from the company to date. He said he could envision ICE officers using the gloves to help remove uncooperative subjects from cars and houses and in and out of detention facilities. “For smaller officers or weaker officers or older officers, I think it has a great advantage” because it can produce faster takedowns and shorten confrontations, he said. The manufacturer warns the device should not be used as punishment, against peo-

ple merely exhibiting “verbal defiance or belligerence” or on high-risk populations such as children, pregnant women or elderly or disabled people. Jenn Rolnick Borchetta, deputy project director on policing at the American Civil Liberties Union, said the public should have no confidence that ICE officers will use the devices appropriately. She questioned why the devices would be necessary for civil immigration enforcement and noted those getting shocked might have no advance warning.

Medicaid to stop paying for some gender-affirming care for transgender minors BY GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press

President Donald Trump’s administration said that Medicaid will stop paying for gender-affirming surgeries and hormone treatments for transgender minors and the state Chil-

dren’s Health Insurance Program won’t pay for the treatments for those under 19. The announcement is the latest in a series of policies from the administration aimed at transgender people that began the day Trump returned to office

British Columbia wildfire grew overnight, officials say BY HAVEN DALEY and ROB GILLIES Associated Press

WEST KELOWNA, British Columbia — A deadly wildfire in Western Canada that’s forced some 20,000 people to flee grew overnight even without strong winds, challenging efforts to contain it and fully assess the damage, authorities said Tuesday. About 100 firefighters from Mexico were on the way to help fight the blaze that’s destroyed homes and other properties near Okanagan Lake in British Columbia. The fire has killed an 80-year-old woman and burned toward Summerland, a community of about 12,000 people roughly 185 miles east of Vancouver. The fire showed “quite significant growth” in some areas overnight even without strong winds, said Cliff Chapman, director of provincial operations for the British Columbia Wildfire Service. He added crews were working around the clock to establish control lines and make it safe for evacuated residents to return home. “We recognized and we

The Bald Range wildfire, which has forced people out of their homes in the south Okanagan region, burns Saturday in Summerland, B.C., Canada. heard even last night that people obviously would like to go home. They would like to see the extent of the damage,” Chapman said. Kevin Dunbar, British Columbia’s executive director for emergency response and recovery operations, called it one of the largest evacuations in recent British Columbia history. British Columbia ofﬁcials

said they had secured 1,600 hotel rooms and 1,000 grouplodging spaces for evacuees in Okanagan after some residents faced delays getting emergency assistance during the weekend evacuation. Beyond those already forced to ﬂee, another 10,000 people have been told to be ready to leave on short notice. More than 100 wildfires were burning across

the province, and officials warned that dry lightning could spark new fires in the Central Interior and Okanagan. The province also asked the federal government for help expanding lodging for evacuees. RCMP are investigating whether criminal activity played a role in the fire. Chapman said about 4% of wildfires in British Colum-

bia over the past decade were suspected of having been deliberately set, but officials have not said the Bald Range fire was intentionally started. Lucille and Gordon Beach of Summerland were in Vancouver for the weekend wedding of a granddaughter when they heard the fire had started. “We didn’t feel too celebratory,” Lucille Beach said Tuesday. The couple, staying for now in West Kelowna with their dog, haven’t seen their home since leaving Friday but believed it was OK. It took a few days to adjust to the reality of what was happening, Lucille Beach said. Carmen Bodzasy evacuated from Summerland, where she and her husband moved recently. She had to navigate evacuating on unfamiliar roads while he was away for work. Before leaving, “I cried my eyes out for a minute, and I thought, you know what, if I had to restart over, what would I take with me?” She took photos of her parents’ wedding, of her children’s families and of her and her husband. “I thought if I didn’t have walls

to go home to, at least I have memories to put up on my new one,” she said. Holding her small dog Tuesday, she was not sure of the status of their home but said whatever happens, she intends to stay in Summerland, a place where people wave at passing motorists and stop to ask how you’re doing. “I’ll do whatever I can to help that town rebuild because everybody’s so kind there,” she said. In the U.S., firefighters in California on Tuesday were fighting a blaze that’s burned roughly 3 square miles in the Big Sur region of the state’s rugged central coast. Area state parks have closed and evacuation orders have been issued, including for a roughly 7-mile stretch of Calif. 1, the state’s iconic coastal route. The highway was open as of Tuesday morning, California Highway Patrol spokesperson Ryan Moore said. The Timber Fire has held east of the highway, authorities said. Gillies reported from Toronto. Associated Press writer Claire Rush contributed from Portland, Oregon.

Severe weather knocks out power in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio ‘Ring of fire’ strikes Midwest BY LAURA BARGFELD and ED WHITE Associated Press

CHICAGO — Severe weather cut power to more than half a million people in the Chicago area and northwestern Indiana as perilous thunderstorms and extreme wind gusts pummeled the region Tuesday, causing widespread damage. Tornado warning sirens howled as the skies dark-

ened. All ﬂights were temporarily stopped at Chicago’s two major airports, and ofﬁcials warned of delays as the backlog was cleared. In Ohio, power outages swept the state capital region, and at least one death was reported. Photos posted on social media from the Chicago area, and across the state line in Indiana, showed flooded roads, trees tangled in power lines and homes with gashes in their roofs. “No power. It was very scary. We were down in the basement,” said Javid Jenkins, of Homewood, a Chicago suburb. “We’re built for

snow. We’re built for cold. We’re not built for this.” Jenkins, 54, said he was driving around for gas to ﬁre up a generator to preserve food in his refrigerator. There were numerous reports of wind gusts of 80 mph or more at personal weather stations. “Total devastation. No roof,” said Kerry Hourigan, standing outside her home of 25 years in Tinley Park, another Chicago suburb. “Stupid thing, but my focus was I just bought a new barbecue grill, and I have no idea where that is. It’s disappeared.” The National Weather Ser-

vice bluntly warned earlier in the day: “These are dangerous storms!” More than 600,000 customers lost electricity in Illinois and Indiana, according to poweroutage.us. Lake and Porter counties in Indiana and Will County, south of Chicago, were especially hard hit. Farther east in Ohio, more than 290,000 customers were without power. Meteorologist Scott Baker said the Midwest was on the outer edge of a “ring of ﬁre,” bringing waves of excessive moisture, instability and storms. In Ohio, Gov. Mike DeW-

ine said a resident of Roseville died during a health emergency when first responders, faced with ﬂooded roads, couldn’t get there. He warned that flood dangers would persist. “This is not something that will end tonight,” DeWine said of the severe weather. Indeed, forecasters said multiple rounds of rain would cause flood hazards in the Ohio Valley through early Friday. Officials in Columbus, Ohio, sent local government workers home early ahead of another round of storms. The library in Westerville, Ohio,

closed after rain poured into the atrium. The ﬁfth day of the 10-day Lake County, Indiana, Fair was canceled, disappointing fans who were hoping to see a professional wrestling event involving people under 5 feet tall. Nearby in LaPorte County, Indiana, there was a “tremendous amount of tree damage,” Commissioner Joe Haney said. White reported from Detroit. Associated Press writers Jennifer Garske in Washington and Sudhin Thanawala in Atlanta contributed.

BY SOPHIE KASAKOVE Staff writer

The New Orleans Police Department must share public reports about its drone use, the City Council has decided in a move some community groups say is too soft on the department’s growing use of the technology. The council on Thursday unanimously backed an ordinance that requires the department to pro-

vide quarterly reports on drone flights. The vote came months after members in April approved the launch of a new remote-piloted police drone in the French Quarter and after the department loosened regulations on its use of drones in July. The NOPD’s July 1 policy removed a required quarterly review of drone use by the department’s Professional Standards and Accountability Bureau.

But some civil liberties advocates say that additional measures are needed to prevent improper use of the technology.

Edith Romero, director of Eye on Surveillance, a coalition of New Orleans organizations and community members concerned about surveillance and public safety, said at an Aug. 5 council committee meeting that the NOPD should also be required to share reporting on the demographics of people tracked with drones, and to create a mechanism for public complaints.

NOPD fails to follow the new reporting requirements. “We can’t trust NOPD,” Romero said. In a statement Tuesday, an NOPD spokesperson said that the department “will adhere to and enforce all ordinances enacted by the City Council, including in this regard.” The backlash comes as the police department continues to pursue a

The New Orleans Police Department has a message for motorists: School zone cameras might be turned off, but enforcement is still very much on. To drive that point home, police officers with speed guns pulled over dozens of cars Tuesday morning as they sped past Alice Harte Charter School in Algiers. During a two-hour period Tuesday, officers stopped 38 vehicles and issued 117 citations in the West Bank school zone. The enforcement activity comes as the city’s school zone cameras have remained shut off for over a year as the city challenges a 2024 state law that requires municipalities to split fine revenues from the cameras with their respective school districts. Lt. Avery Theard, assistant commander of the NOPD’s traffic division, said speeding can endanger children who are waiting for

LSU has selected a search committee to find the next leader of LSU New Orleans, according to university officials. The 14-member committee includes prominent local businessmen, a former state lawmaker and multiple university employees. The group will begin reviewing chancellor candidates Aug. 25. The committee will bring top candidates to campus for interviews, according to a news release from LSU, which said the position already has garnered “a lot of interest.” Then the group will recommend one finalist for the job by December. LSU President Wade Rousse will make the final decision and the LSU Board of Supervisors will approve a contract for the new chancellor, LSU spokesperson Meg Casper Sunstrom said. Candidates must have executivelevel leadership experience in higher education or another complex industry, a master’s degree in educational leadership, business or finance and strong financial planning skills, according to a job description posted in late June. The posting also says the chancellor should have a “demonstrated ability to lead complex organizations through periods of change and transformation.” Rousse said in a statement that the new chancellor will be tasked with strengthening LSU New Orleans’ institutional identity while connecting it to the larger LSU system. “This campus is entering a defining period of institutional transformation,” he said, adding that the

Imperial Woodpecker to open fourth stand Sno-balls set for NOLA City Park

Neesa Peterson prepares sno-balls at her Imperial Woodpecker Sno-Ball truck at Spanish Plaza in 2014. Peterson announced plans to open a fourth stand in NOLA City Park.

BY POET WOLFE Staff writer

Imperial Woodpecker Sno-Balls, known for its shaved ice topped with handcrafted syrups and served in Chinese restaurant-style takeout containers, is opening its fourth stand in New Orleans — this time in City Park. Housed in a trailer near the City Putt Miniature Golf Course, the sno-ball stand is expected to open “as soon as possible,” owner Neesa Peterson said, adding she hopes to have it operating within two weeks. The lineup will up feature popular natural flavors including lemon basil, strawberry basil, pineapple cilantro and watermelon jalapeño. Peterson said she’s also bringing back several flavors from when the sno-ball stand opened in New York City in 2011. Among them is birthday cake, which she said is returning because she “really loves flavors that you can celebrate something with.” She is also developing new ﬂavors inspired by City Park. To mark the opening, the stand created a limited-edition ﬂavor called

Imperial Woodpecker has steadily expanded since Peterson, a New Orleans native, brought her sno-balls back home after serving them for three summers in New York City’s West and Greenwich Village neighborhoods. Peterson would often work 10hour shifts to offer “a humongous menu” to a city better known for

bagels and cheesecake. In 2014, Peterson brought her sno-ball stand to New Orleans, where she crafted original flavors — guava, Earl Grey cream and bourbon vanilla — and served them over ice at the Riverwalk Outlets.

Law enforcement officers stopped issuing tickets for not displaying inspection stickers on personal vehicles on June 30 under the bill signed into law by Landry. Commercial vehicles and school buses are still required to do regular safety inspections. In June, Kenner was the ﬁrst local jurisdiction to repeal its local brake tag requirement. New Orleans followed suit a month later by pausing enforcement

and issuance of brake tags, but has not yet completely repealed the program. Ofﬁcials said that New Orleans’ requirements for next year would be announced by the end of 2026. New Orleans, Kenner and Westwego were the only local jurisdictions in the state with their own local brake tag requirements. Some residents in those areas have expressed concern that eliminating vehicle inspections will create safety issues for drivers, while ofﬁcials in Kenner responded that local police were capable of handling enforce-

ment for issues like tinted windows and busted headlights on their own. Five parishes around Baton Rouge still require inspection stickers because of a federal order that requires vehicle emissions tests: East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, Ascension, Livingston and Iberville parishes.

to the traffic unit in the past two months, and officers are writing more tickets this year compared with last year. Last week, officers throughout the department were trained so they can operate the radar and lidar speed tracking devices, and each police district was provided handheld speed guns to aid in traffic enforcement. Traffic officers will focus enforcement operations on school zones known to be hot spots for speeding, Theard said. Drivers shouldn’t expect that they’ll be in the clear if they stay close to the 20 mph limit in school zones. “There’s maybe a little myth that you can travel 5 miles per hour over and you’re safe,” he said. “But the reality of it is that an officer can cite you for going 1 mile per hour over the limit.” With violent crime on the decline in New Orleans, the NOPD has been able to devote more resources to proactive policing, such as traffic enforcement. The approach includes enforcement of high-crash portions of the city and gathering intelligence on unsanctioned drag racing or stunt driving in public roads. As of July 9, Orleans Parish had recorded 21 traffic fatalities this year. At the current pace, New Orleans would have about 40 traffic deaths by the end of the year — a 29% decline from the 56 traffic deaths recorded in 2025 and a 38% drop from the 64 in 2024.

FROM WIRE REPORTS

Stocks edge further from their records

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks slipped a bit further from their records Tuesday, while oil prices kept swinging on uncertainty about when the war with Iran will allow crude to ﬂow freely again. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% for a second modest drop since setting its all-time high on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 184 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 0.6%. The action was stronger in the oil market, where the price for a barrel of Brent crude briefly jumped above $90 in the morning before falling back below $87. It eventually settled at $88.91, up 1.4% from Monday. Such erratic moves have become typical since the United States and Israel attacked Iran in late February, which led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and kept much of the world’s oil pent up in the Middle East. Last month alone, Brent’s price veered between $72 and $102 per barrel.

655K Camrys recalled over display error CHICAGO — Toyota is recalling about 655,000 of its Camry vehicles globally, the automaker confirmed Tuesday, due to a display error that may deactivate safety indicators like turn signals and hazard lights during startup. Most of the now-recalled cars were sold in the U.S. — where more than 508,000 model year 2025-2026 Camry Hybrids are affected. According to documents published by the National Highway Trafﬁc Safety Administration, these vehicles are equipped with a 7-inch display combination meter that can become blank at startup. And beyond turn signals and hazard lights, certain warnings like seat belt reminders and “key left in ignition” buzzers may also not function as a result. These display failures increase crash risks — both for drivers who may not be able to see telltale indicators and “the ability of other road users to recognize the driver’s intent to change direction or indicate a vehicle hazard,” the NHTSA warns. Texas-based Toyota Motor North America — a subsidiary of the larger Japanese automaker — says it will notify all known owners of the affected Camrys to bring their vehicles into a certiﬁed dealer. To remedy the issue, those dealers will later provide a software update free of charge.

Vietnam’s VinSpace signs deal with SpaceX HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnamese aerospace company VinSpace said Tuesday it has signed a contract with SpaceX to send its first satellites into orbit aboard a SpaceX rideshare mission in 2027, as the Southeast Asian nation moves to develop its nascent space industry. VinSpace will launch its satellites on a SpaceX Transporter rideshare mission run by Elon Musk’s company, which carries satellites from multiple customers on a single rocket to share launch costs, it said in a statement. The satellites, which VinSpace said it will develop and operate, will test the company’s technology in orbit and support future commercial applications. VinSpace is part of Vietnam’s Vingroup conglomerate and was established in November 2025. The company said in April that it planned to develop and launch its ﬁrst satellites in 2027. Founded by tycoon Pham Nhat Vuong, Vingroup is Vietnam’s largest privately owned company. It has a sprawling business empire that touches many aspects of daily life, from real estate and retail to healthcare, education and tourism. It is going global as it invests heavily in high-tech industries such as electric vehicles, space, artiﬁcial intelligence and robotics, sectors central to Vietnam’s ambition to become Asia’s next tiger economy.

Oil supply disruptions expected through 2027 U.S. agency says Hormuz closure crimps shipments

BY MIA GINDIS and NATHAN RISSER Bloomberg News (TNS)

The U.S. now expects oil supply disruptions stemming from the U.S.-Iran war to reach about 600,000 barrels per day through the end of next year as the conﬂict continues to crimp shipments via the critical Strait of Hormuz. Oil transported through the waterway averaged 4.9 million barrels per day in the second quarter

of this year, according to estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Short-Term Energy Outlook. That compares to an average of 21.6 million in the last quarter of 2025, before the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran. The ﬁgures indicate that a brief intermission in fighting, when a so-called memorandum of understanding was signed, did little to blunt the impact of one of the worst disruptions to global energy markets in history. A deal between Iran and Oman to reopen the strait remains elusive, though ofﬁcials indicate talks are progressing. As the conflict extends into a sixth month, consumers around the world are once again facing the

prospect of higher fuel prices and inﬂation. The EIA hiked gasoline and diesel price forecasts for 2026 by 3.7% and 5.4% respectively and increased its 2027 forecast for retail gasoline prices by 6.5% from its estimates a month earlier. The volume of oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz remains difﬁcult to pin down in real time, as vessels going dark obscure shipping activity, leading to discrepancies in estimates among market participants. About 9 million barrels of oil a day exited the strait on average over the past week, according to Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The agency also estimates that Middle East production shut-ins

Home sales fall 1.7% in July

eased to average about 5.5 million barrels a day in July, compared to 7.5 million barrels a day in June. The volume of oil shut in is expected to swell again to 6.6 million barrels a day in the third quarter. Multiple Middle Eastern countries have been forced to curtail output as limited access to global markets strains available storage capacity. The report assumes that recent threats to vessels carrying Saudi Arabian crude through the Bab elMandeb Strait have not resulted in additional production shut-ins. If that assumption holds, the agency expects most production and trade ﬂows to take until early 2027 to return to pre-war levels.

Existing home sales fell 1.7% last month from June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.06 million units, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday.

Record prices, high mortgages stifle would-be buyers BY MATT OTT

Associated Press WASHINGTON — Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed again in July as record prices and the highest mortgage rates in a year prove to be an insurmountable hurdle for many prospective homebuyers. Existing home sales fell 1.7% last month from June to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.06 million units, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. That’s slightly above the 4.05 million pace economists were expecting, according to FactSet. July sales, however, were up 0.7% compared with last year. Home prices continued to rise, hitting unprecedented levels for the month of July, NAR said. The U.S. median sales price increased 2% from a year earlier, to $434,100. In June, the median sales price hit $442,800, an all-time high for any month on data going back to 1999, NAR said. Home prices have risen on an annual basis for 37 months in a row. Last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported that the benchmark 30-year ﬁxed

rate mortgage rate rose to 6.69%, its highest level in just over a year. It was the fifth consecutive week that the average rate rose, marking the latest strain for prospective homebuyers who are facing steep borrowing costs. It is difficult to find good news about the U.S. housing market from the July report, said Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics. “No one who has a home already can afford to sell it,” said Weinberg. “People with ultralow COVID-era mortgages cannot afford to give them up. If no one is selling, no one can be buying, and inventories are low.” Home sales have been mostly hovering close to a 4 million annual pace for about three years, far short of the historic norm that is closer to 5.2 million. The U.S. housing market has been in a slump since 2022, when mortgage rates began to climb from pandemic-era lows. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes were essentially flat last year, stuck at a 30-year low. Sales remain sluggish as mortgage rates have mostly trended higher in the months since the war between the U.S. and Iran

started. Expectations of higher inflation amid surging oil prices have pushed up the long-term bond yields that lenders use as a guide to pricing home loans, causing mortgage rates to climb. Home inventory levels also remain well below historical norms. There were 1.54 million unsold homes at the end of last month, down 1.9% from June and 0.6% less than July last year, NAR said. That’s well short of the roughly 2 million homes for sale that was typical before the COVID-19 pandemic. July’s month-end inventory translates to a 4.6-month supply at the current sales pace. Traditionally, a 5- to 6-month supply is considered a balanced market between buyers and sellers. Regionally, prices in the Northeast continue to rise faster than the rest of the country, jumping 5.2% year-over-year, driven by a shortage of inventory.

NEW YORK — Government lawyers said a Court of International Trade judge overstepped his authority by ordering the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol to issue refunds to all companies that paid tariffs that were deemed illegal in February, even those that didn’t file a lawsuit in trade court. The government filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in June and filed its opening brief on Monday. In it, government lawyers point to a case that went before the Supreme Court in June 2025, over birthright citizenship. Part of the decision in

that case limited the use of universal injunctions, which apply a ruling to all people or companies affected, not just speciﬁc litigants. Judge Richard Eaton, who is overseeing the tariff lawsuits in the Court of International Trade, has said the limits on universal injunctions don’t apply in this case, but the government disagrees. “The CIT’s universal injunctions, requiring the government to refund IEEPA duties for all importers (including non-party importers), cannot possibly be squared with CASA,” — the court case that limited universal injunctions, the government wrote it its brief. The majority of tariff refunds have already been paid out. CBP

has already processed and certified $100 billion in refunds. At issue are companies that paid tariffs that went through the customs process and entries were finalized. There’s a Congressional rule that the CBP cannot reprocess tariffs for which the administrative refund process is no longer available. Those companies are free to file a lawsuit to get that money back, the government said. “The Court of International Trade (CIT) has already entered hundreds of such orders in suits brought by importers seeking that relief, and importers who have not yet brought such suits are free to do so within the statute of limitations,” government lawyers wrote

in the brief. Barry Appleton, a law professor and co-director of New York Law School’s Center for International Law, said it appears the government has the better legal argument, but businesses, especially smaller businesses, might suffer. “The government took this money under a law the Supreme Court said never authorized (tariffs). Getting it back should not turn on whether a business could afford to sue,” he said. “Refunding an unlawful tariff should not be a reward for litigating. ... You cannot really ask a small company to sue for money it does not know it is owed, on a deadline it has never heard of.”

A New Orleans woman was accused of stealing more than $20,000 worth of candles and room sprays from a Terrytown Bath & Body Works in just under a month.

JPSO: N.O. woman stole $20,000 worth of products Candles, sprays shoplifted over course of month

BY MICHELLE HUNTER Staff writer

Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Ofﬁce detectives arrested a New Orleans woman accused of stealing more than $20,000 worth of candles, aerosol room sprays and other merchandise from a Bath & Body Works store in less than a month. Mikequill Estem, 33, was booked Aug. 3 with one count of felony theft and six counts of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile, said Sgt. Brandon Veal, spokesperson for the department. Estem and a few unidentiﬁed accomplices are accused of shoplifting goods from the Bath & Body Works store located inside Oakwood Center mall in Terrytown.

Estem mostly targeted the store’s popular but pricy three-wick candles, which cost about $27 each, as well as the $9 room sprays, according to the Sheriff’s Office. In one trip to the store on Aug. 26, 2025, investigators allege Estem and an accomplice made off with 25 candles and 20 room sprays worth about $855. The pair entered the store and were seen on camera placing the items into a shopping bag before leaving without paying, according to authorities. Detectives with the Sheriff’s Office’s Criminal Intelligence Center say Estem made similar trips to the Oakwood store on an almost daily basis between Aug. 15 and Sept. 8 of last year. She’s accused of stealing about $20,431 worth merchandise in 19 separate thefts, the Sheriff’s Office said. The thefts were likely

not the act of a wayward scented candle enthusiast. Authorities suspect it was a case of organized retail theft, the large-scale systematic shoplifting of specific items undertaken by crooks who intend to resell the products for profit. Estem was believed to be selling the candles and other items due to the large number stolen over so short a period of time, the Sheriff’s Office said. Estem was being held Tuesday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Bail was set at $50,000. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office investigations bureau at (504) 364-5300. The public can also call Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111 or toll-free at (877) 903-7867.

Macloud, Minnie Monroe

Minnie Ruth Monroe Macloud passed away peacefully on the morning of August 5, 2026, following a brief illness. She was 99 years old. Born in Nolan, Texas, Minnie began the greatest adventure of her life when she married the love of her life, Bob Macloud, more than 80 years ago. Together, they built a life in New Orleans, Louisiana, where they raised their family and created a legacy of love, faith, and hard work that continues through generations. Minnie was first and foremost a devoted wife and mother. Minnie is survived by her loving children, Lynda LaFleur (Mike), Roberta Lima (Kellie), and Bobby Macloud; her sisters, Annette LeCompte and Yvonne Lister; and her in-laws, Emily Miguez and William P. Macloud. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bob Macloud, and her daughter, Marilyn Deogracias (Alan).

Alan Deogracias II (Leone), Amanda Deogracias, Rob LaFleur (Maria), Lee LaFleur (Erin), Bobby Macloud IV (Dawn), and Brandon Macloud (Margaret Ann). Her family continued to grow with 17 great-grandchildren and 8 great-great-grandchildren, each bringing her immense joy and pride. Minnie believed that hard work was one of life's greatest virtues. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly to caring for her family, and as her children grew older, her love for children extended beyond her own home. She operated an in-home daycare, nurturing countless young lives with the same kindness, patience, and gentle guidance she gave her own children. She also faithfully served in the nursery at Lake Forest Baptist Church, lovingly caring for generations of little ones and sharing her unwavering faith through acts of service. Family was at the heart of everything Minnie did. She treasured camping trips with her children, creating memories that would last a lifetime. She generously volunteered as a Girl Scout leader, teaching young girls valuable lessons while encouraging confidence, friendship, and service. In her quieter moments, Minnie found joy in quilting beautiful heirlooms, challenging herself with puzzles, and traveling with her sisters, making memories she treasured throughout her life. She had a gift for making every place feel like home and every person feel loved. Minnie will be remembered for her tireless work

ethic, servant's heart, unwavering faith, and unconditional love for her family. Her life was a beautiful example of kindness, dedication, and selfless love. Though she will be deeply missed, the lessons she taught, the traditions she created, and the love she shared will live on through the many lives she touched. The family finds comfort in knowing she has been reunited with her beloved husband, daughter, and all those who went before her. Her legacy will continue for generations to come, carried forward by the family she so dearly loved. The family would also like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the care partners, nurses, and entire staff at The Laurel for the compassion, kindness, and exceptional care they provided Minnie during her time there.

OPINION N O L A.C O M/opinions

OUR VIEWS

As healthcare subsidies disappear, La. hospitals, families suffer We can’t say we’re surprised at the latest numbers showing healthcare coverage for Louisiana families cratering after Affordable Care Act subsidies were not renewed by Congress late last year. During the budget fight, we warned that our state especially needed lawmakers to come together to find a solution. Alas, they did not, and the pandemic-era subsidies that had helped 24 million Americans afford insurance on the ACA Marketplace vanished overnight. That left some families facing skyrocketing premiums and a stark choice: pay for either insurance or other necessities. Now the numbers are in, and they show how that choice has played out across the state. Washington think tank KFF analyzed federal reports, and Louisiana had one of the steepest drops in ACA enrollees of any state in the nation. Louisiana had 264,790 enrollments in March 2025, but only 195,759 at the same time this year — a 26% decrease. Nationally, it’s estimated that the program lost 3 million enrollees. What this will mean for health outcomes in our state is only beginning to unfold. But what it means for hospitals is already starkly apparent. Officials with Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, the state’s largest hospital, reported seeing 2,500 more uninsured patients in its emergency department the first six months this year versus the same period in 2025. Uninsured patients mean losses for hospitals, since they still must serve whoever shows up at an emergency room. Those losses are mounting, and Lake facilities wrote off $2.3 million more in bad debt for April through June compared to January, February and March, officials said. In 2016, when Louisiana became one of the few Southern states to expand Medicaid, leaders argued that taking the federal money would ensure that our state’s rural hospitals and healthcare systems could survive, and that turned out to be true. Now however, hospitals across the state are grappling with the rise of uninsured patients. Of course, the real costs of these cuts are in the lives and livelihoods of those who can no longer afford to manage chronic conditions or receive preventative care. Many want to talk about waste, fraud and abuse in federal programs, but we say there is such a thing as being penny-wise and poundfoolish. Sure, saving on healthcare subsidies today may sound reasonable enough. But when the bill comes due for increased medical interventions at later stages of illness or when fewer people can live healthy and productive lives, the $30 billion in saved ACA subsidies might seem like a bargain. Many Americans have been on a roller-coaster ride trying to afford health insurance in recent years. If we are ever to get off this ride, it’s clear that voters must let political candidates know that healthcare is a priority. Until we do, we’ll remain stuck in an ailing system.

Union protects workers, makes government more effective I’ve been vice president of the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees Local 2349 for one week and three days. I believe every New Orleans city worker should be able to afford food, housing and transportation in the city: Dwight Eisenhower stuff, not Roosevelt, certainly not Debs. Quin Hillyer seems to think my fellow union members and I are wasting taxpayer money and time, so I’d like to tell him about my ﬁrst week on the board. I’ve met with our newly elected AFSCME 2349 executive board twice, CAO Joe Giarrusso and his team once, attended one disciplinary hearing, missed another and also missed the ﬁrst Municipal Complex Advisory Committee meeting. Worksite safety issues have been raised: workers not being issued protective equipment like gloves and sharps containers to discard used hypodermic needles, veterans having panic attacks on the job and workers penalized by their supervisors for taking annual leave.

The CAO and his team met with us to discuss proposed changes to worker benefits. I spent part of my Saturday tracking down a credible rumor that a fellow city worker is living in a shelter. These matters felt urgent to me, worthy of my time and attention. AFSCME 2349’s collective bargaining agreement and the trifling amount of civil leave our officers are afforded (of which I have used none; I’ll save Hillyer a FOIA request) is not wasteful but a force multiplier bolstering the efficacy of city services. If Hillyer remains convinced that my fellow union members and I are unabashed malingerers, I’m willing to attempt to convince him otherwise over mint juleps or whatever the preferred cocktail of conservative opinion columnists is these days. He’s buying the first round.

Recently, public discourse has been dominated by debates surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci and COVID-19. While leadership in managing a pandemic is important, our focus should be on the critical dangers threatening our communities today — tainted lettuce risking food safety, smoke from wildfires damaging respiratory health, the decline in women’s healthcare access, resurgent measles outbreaks, pollution of waters, misuse of public lands and environmental degradation from data center pollution. Louisiana, in particular, faces these issues uniquely — with vulnerable populations, environmental challenges and health disparities that demand our immediate attention. Meanwhile, vital funding is diverted from research institutions and universities that drive innovation and solutions for these challenges. These are not minor inconveniences — they are imminent threats to our health, economy and future stability. It’s time for government to prioritize these tangible, immediate issues with targeted policies and resources. Addressing them requires an approach that encompasses environmental safety, food security, healthcare access and scientific inquiry. Protecting public health cannot be reduced to partisan politics or personal grievances — our communities deserve leadership that tackles real issues head-on. In focusing on past controversies or individual figures, we risk diverting precious time and resources from the urgent challenges that demand our attention. Our collective energy must be directed toward solutions that can improve health outcomes now — rather than engaging in legalistic debates that serve no one. Prioritizing real issues over past disagreements is essential if we are to build a healthier, more resilient society. Let’s dedicate ourselves to addressing the pressing issues that impact us all — those that require immediate action — and do so with purpose and integrity.

GREGG DOOLITTLE vice president, AFSCME Local 2349 emergency manager New Orleans

Landry was elected to serve all the people History offers a far better model of leadership than the one letter-writer David McLemore celebrates (“Landry has reasons for treating the people of New Orleans as adversaries”). When the Surfside condominium collapsed in Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis did not treat Democratic Miami-Dade ofﬁcials as adversaries. He worked alongside them. Miami-Dade Mayor Danielle Levine Cava publicly praised him as “decisive,” “constant” and “collaborative.” During one of Florida’s darkest moments, partisan labels took a backseat. When Hurricane Sandy devastated New Jersey, Republican Gov. Chris Christie stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Democratic Newark Mayor Cory Booker and President Barack Obama. Christie was criticized by members of his own party for cooperating across party lines. His response was simple: Governing comes before politics. He

understood that governors do not serve Republicans, Democrats or independents. They serve people. That is what makes McLemore’s argument so astonishing. He applauds the notion that Louisiana’s governor should regard New Orleans as an adversary rather than as part of the state he swore to serve. The people of New Orleans are not the enemy. They are police officers, firefighters, deputies, EMTs, nurses, physicians, teachers, priests, nuns, dockworkers, service workers, smallbusiness owners, veterans, parents and schoolchildren. They pay Louisiana taxes. They obey Louisiana laws. Corrupt politicians deserve prosecution, conviction and punishment. Innocent citizens deserve representation. A governor who cannot distinguish between the two has forgotten the very oath of office he took.

BARRY RANSHI Kenner

Has power, prejudice replaced the Golden Rule? America sold its soul. We were taught, once, to treat one another as we’d wish to be treated ourselves. It was a simple thing. Somewhere along the way we let it go, and let power and prejudice take its place. Empathy does not vanish all at once. It fades quietly, and where it lived, fear and hate move in. People become disposable. Families

become statistics. Workers become line items. The vulnerable become burdens we no longer feel obliged to carry. A nation that trades people for power does not just misplace its compassion. It buries its soul and calls it patriotism — though true patriotism was the love it buried in the ﬁrst place.

Though August doesn’t have a campaign or elected office track record, she has experience. Based on previous campaigns, it seems she has more than a shot. Lawes ran for the City Council District D seat in 2021. He got fewer than 500 votes. Jones has run for multiple offices in recent years. He’s run for a state house seat a couple of times. He’s run for the City Council District D seat twice. He’s run against Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser twice. In the fall, Nungesser won with more than 65% of the vote to Jones’ less than 21%. Seems he wants a job, any job. This isn’t corporate America, so Boissiere’s succession plan will be approved or rejected by the voters. Boissiere could change his mind, but I doubt it. He lost his closest campaign adviser and friend, his wife of 60 years, Elaine, in May 2025. “I’ve never run a political campaign without her, and I won’t run this one without her,” he said. Boissiere has fought for right, pointed out wrong and done his part. At 83 years old, maybe he shouldn’t knock on doors, go to dozens of campaign events and candidate forums. He deserves a rest and an opportunity to do what he told me he wants to do: “Spend the rest of my life with my children, my grandchildren and my friends.”

What if GOP loses House and Senate? The odds are Republicans will lose control of the House in the coming midterms — for five reasons: 1. Their current majority is so narrow that losing a literal handful of seats would cost them control; 2. they will be hurt by President Donald Trump’s low job approval rating, especially on his handling of the economy; 3. the soByron called “generic ballot” York poll shows voters would prefer a Democrat to represent them in the House; 4. the Iran/Mideast war will be a continuing source of uncertainty and tension for the GOP; and 5. precedent strongly suggests the party that controls the White House will lose a substantial number of House seats. So what if Democrats win? Although there is some internal party debate on this question, there’s a real possibility a new Democratic majority in the House would impeach Trump for a third time. And there’s no doubt in the world that Democrats would kill the president’s legislative agenda. As bad as that is, it’s a situation Trump could live with because 1. a third impeachment would have a been-there-donethat quality, and Trump would prevail again; and 2. beyond the SAVE America Act, which will not pass this year, Trump doesn’t really have a legislative agenda to kill. Losing the Senate, on the other hand, would be damaging for Trump because he needs to have his nominees — for the courts and for his administration — confirmed. A united Democratic majority in the Senate could stop all that cold, and probably would, given the state of today’s politics. So how much chance does Trump have of losing the Senate? The answer appears to be more of a chance than he had a few months ago. Republicans hold 53 seats in the Senate, which means Democrats would have to win four currently Republican-held seats to win control. This time last year, that seemed a remote possibility. But now there are six Republican seats that Democrats have a non-zero chance of winning. And there are just two Democratic seats in significant jeopardy. On the Republican side: North Carolina, the seat currently held by

Parties are focused on the midterms, which will decide the balance of power at the U.S. Capitol. retiring Sen. Thom Tillis seems gone. That’s one pickup for the Democrats. Seats in Iowa, currently held by retiring Republican Sen. Joni Ernst, and Ohio, held by appointed Republican Sen. Jon Husted, could go either way. Maine and Alaska, where Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Dan Sullivan face serious challenges, could also end badly for the GOP. And the Texas seat currently held by Republican John Cornyn, where some Republicans scoff at the weakness of Democratic challenger James Talarico, is in clear danger. Yes, Talarico is a terrible candidate, but so is Ken Paxton, the Trump-backed candidate who beat Cornyn in a GOP primary. On the Democratic side: Michigan, the seat held by retiring Sen. Gary Peters is a real pickup opportunity for Republicans. New Hampshire, the seat held by retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is in play but seems, for the moment, leaning toward staying Democratic. And that’s about it. The possibility that Republicans could win Michigan, where Democrats are nominated Abdul El-Sayed, a DSAstyle progressive who could struggle in a general election, is pretty much

the entire bright side for Republicans when it comes to pickups. If the GOP does win Michigan, Democrats would then have to win ﬁve currently Republican seats to win control of the Senate. That would be hard, but doable. Go down the list: North Carolina, Ohio, Maine, Iowa, Texas and Alaska. It is not at all outside the realm of possibility that Democrats could win all but one of them. It is important to say that this is how the situation looks right now, in early August, for voting that will take place in early November. Of course things will change in the next three months. Candidates currently in tight races could pull ahead or fall back. Mistakes could be made. The political landscape could shift. All sorts of things could happen. But there is no reason for Republicans to feel conﬁdent that, after losing the House, they will still have the Senate. They could lose both. And then, President Trump and his party will be in for a couple of trying years. Byron York is on X, @Bryon York. Email him at byronyork@yorkcomm. com.

Trump’s botched presidency The Reflecting Pool opened on the National Mall in 1922, linking the monuments that honor Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. The pool serves as “an optical instrument,” writes one commentator, a mirror designed to edify those edifices and the virtues they embody. Today the pool is still a mirror, reflecting the nature of a third president: Donald Trump. Instead of illustrating his grandeur, howSteve ever, it reveals his grandiosity; Roberts his shoddy, slapdash approach to the office; his refusal to recognize reality and accept the consequences of his own actions. This spring, Trump ordered a quick and quixotic renovation of the pool in time for his self-centered July 4 celebrations. The “American flag blue” lining he chose soon started to crack and peel, and in an embarrassed rage, he denounced the “great damage due to the Vandals and Radical Left SCUM that hate our Country.” His hand-picked U.S. Attorney, Jeanine Pirro, dutifully indicted four supposed “vandals,” one on felony charges. But Trump was lying. And when Pirro looked more carefully, she realized the president’s pet contractor was the culprit. So, she dropped the charges and admitted “the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism, as initially represented” by the White House. Trump was furious, ranting that Pirro “choked” and “folded like an umbrella,” but her words echo with a much wider meaning. The president has “botched” a vast range of policies, from rising prices to raging war. And it is Trump who is choking — on immutable and indigestible truth. The president has long and successfully embraced the doctrine of “alternative facts.” Believe me, he says, not your own eyes, and his devoted followers have slavishly done so. Most Republicans in Congress, who often know better, have caved as well, petrified of his punishing wrath. Pirro, however, was not bloviating on social media or Fox News, where she used to work. She had to make her case before a federal judge, who demanded accuracy, not accusation — and that’s what caused her head-on collision with Trump. “In the end,” writes analyst Aaron Blake on CNN, “this appears to be exactly what it looked like in real time: a bunch of people straining to avoid the evidence right in front of their eyes in order to turn the president’s politically expedient fantasy into a reality.” “Straining to avoid the evidence” is a hallmark of Trump’s presidency, and his incessant assault on actuality is, finally, catching up with him. Three recent national polls all agree that only about one-third of Americans now view him favorably, and The New York Times wrote that Trump has reached “the nadir of his presidency.” Since modern polling began in the 1940s, only one other president has registered a lower rating midway through his second term. That was Richard Nixon, just before he resigned over the Watergate scandal in 1974. What connects all of Trump’s troubles is his willful ignorance of evidence. He has regularly derided the concept of affordability as a “hoax” — the economic equivalent of blaming vandalism for the peeling pool — but consumers manage figures, not fantasies, and they know better. Rising gas prices have fueled inflation for many goods. In a recent Washington Post-Ipsos poll, 66% of Americans describe the cost of groceries as “unaffordable,” a sharp increase from 45% earlier in the year. An AP survey reports that 32% approve of his handling of the economy, down from 40% at the start of his second term. Then there is the war against Iran. Trump has repeatedly miscalculated Tehran’s resistance and resilience and has misled the American public. In early March, he described his war planning to the Times: “Well, we intended four to five weeks. It won’t be difficult.” Five months later, the conflict drags on. Trump’s erratic, ever-changing strategies and goals have deeply confused the public. As a result, reports the AP poll, about two-thirds of Americans now believe the war with Iran is not worth fighting, and that includes 37% of Republicans. These are only the most recent, and relevant, examples of Trump trashing the truth. He says his tax cuts will pay for themselves, but they’ve added $100 billion to the deficit. He says immigrants drain the economy when they are invaluable engines of vitality. He says the election of 2020 was stolen from him, when every independent analysis brands that claim a lie. For over 100 years, the Reflecting Pool has illuminated the character of American presidents: Washington’s strength. Lincoln’s wisdom. And today, Trump’s festering failure.

Also affectionately known as "Dedow", Monty is the honored grandfather of 27, and great grandfather of 34. Born February 3, 1929, to Levere C. Montgomery, Sr. and Mae Bertel in New Orleans, Louisiana, Monty was the oldest of two sons. He and his brother Clarke were blessed with great parents and a warm extended family. Raised in the Catholic faith, Monty was educated at Holy Name of Jesus School, Jesuit High School, and Tulane University, where he earned a degree in Business Administration. Monty met his future wife, Anne, a nursing student from Jacksonville, Florida, at a Charity School of Nursing dance. This occurred thanks to the encouragement of his lifelong friend, Jimmy Boulet. Monty and Anne were joyfully married September 8, 1951. Monty served as an Ensign in the United States Coast Guard from 19511952. Inspired by his father's success with the Joy Theatre on Canal Street, Monty pursued his natural entrepreneurial instinct for business and opened the first Time Saver convenience store at the corner of Carrollton and Oak Street in New Orleans. The business grew as Monty and Anne raised their six children in Metairie. Monty was a motivating and encouraging team builder who loved his employees. Together, goals were reached, and the Time Saver business grew to over 97 locations throughout south Louisiana. Monty also introduced the popular ICEE to his convenience stores. Working with his brother-in-law, Jerry Warren, another opportunity arose, and in 1990, Take 5 Oil Change was begun. An avid outdoorsman, Monty often enjoyed hunting and fishing. He loved sailing the "Silkie" on Lake Pontchartrain and along the Gulf Coast with his family. He also piloted a

They shared their Folsom home, formerly Camp Bogue Falaya for Boys, with many children over the years as Camp Chickamaw. Once they had moved to the Northshore permanently, they became active in Catholic Youth Education serving as Confirmation teachers at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Folsom.

Monty was a past President of the Metairie Rotary Club and the National Association of Convenience Stores. He was a member of the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce and the MidWinter Sports Association of New Orleans. Monty was past President, Louisiana Chapter, of the Young Presidents' Organization. He also served on the Boards of Pontchartrain Builders, Crystal Pure Ice, Delight Distributing, and the St. Tammany Hospital Foundation. Monty was also the President of Montgomery Ventures, Ltd. Through the Catholic Foundation of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, he and Anne established the Levere C. Montgomery Jr. Family Foundation in 2004. They were honored to receive the Order of Saint Louis Award from the Archdiocese of New Orleans. After Hurricane Katrina, a home in Tchefuncta Club Estates in Covington became their new residence and St. Anselm Catholic Church in Madisonville their home Parish. The Montgomery family will be forever grateful to their beloved patriarch. His faith-filled love, leadership, and legacy will forever inspire them and many others. The family is certain that "Dedow" was embraced by an enthusiastic welcoming committee in heaven.

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

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

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1

Previous dental work can wear out.

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

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

Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones. The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.

Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need. Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $274 for a checkup ... $299 for a filling ... $1,471 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

Kiffin talks of his bad ‘breakups,’ subject of future book

RISING ‘STAR’

BY JON BLAU

Staff writer

STAFF PHOTO By DAVID GRUNFELD

Saints cornerback Jayden Price knocks away a pass intended for wide receiver Bryce Lance during Saturday’s practice at the Saints’ practice facility in Metairie. Price’s play in the secondary has caught the attention of Saints players and coaches.

As Lane Kiffin sat for an interview with SEC Network’s Marty Smith and Ryan McGee, the LSU coach confronted a truth that’s both personal and professional. Personally, he’s had three “serious” relationships, one marriage and two long-term girlfriends, and all three ended in turbulent fashion. Professionally, Kiffin just burned his bridge with a second SEC institution, Ole Miss, by jumping to LSU before the Rebels’ postseason run. “I don’t handle breakups well, I guess,” Kiffin said. “This is a me thing. I’m the problem.” This was a lighthearted but poignant admission from LSU’s new coach, who spent much of this offseason trying to explain why he left Ole Miss for its rival. In what could be this summer’s last recounting, Kiffin chatted with Smith, the reporter who caught him at the airport for an interview before his departure to Baton Rouge, and McGee, who spearheaded ESPN’s “The Many Lives of Lane Kiffin.” McGee, whose documentary painted Kiffin as a coach who found a new identity in Oxford, Mississippi, bluntly forwarded a question he’s received from fans: “Was that all B.S.?” “I can totally see why they would ask that,” said Kiffin, who repeated many of the same talking points, just in a

Tigers complete more challenging schedule BY REED DARCEY Staff writer

BY GUERRY SMITH Contributing writer

The deepest position on Tulane’s roster might have to prove the value of its numbers in the season opener at Duke. Sophomore running back Jamauri McClure watched Tuesday morning’s practice on a scooter with his left foot heavily taped. Tulane Although coach Will Hall said the infootball jury would be short term, he could not guarantee McClure would be cleared to play by the start of the year. “He’ll be back sooner than later in the early part of the season,” Hall said. “Will that be Game 1? We’re not 100% sure yet. There’s a chance. He’s like Superman.” McClure played like a superhero in the final five games of 2025, rushing for 490 yards on 6.5 yards per carry after gaining only 50 through the first nine. That stretch included 122 yards at Temple and 121 yards against North Texas in the American Conference championship game as Tulane earned a spot in the College Football Playoff. McClure, who was injured in practice last weekend, smiled when he talked to staff and teammates while the Green Wave finished another physical day that concluded with about 40 plays of live tackling in

The LSU women’s basketball team’s complete 2026-27 schedule is here — and the nonconference portion of the slate looks tougher than it usually does. The Tigers had already announced that they would face UConn, North Carolina, North Carolina State and Villanova this coming season. But on Tuesday, as part of their full schedule release, they also revealed that they’d play a neutral-site contest against Houston — a former American Conference program that’s now competing in the Big 12. The matchup against the Cougars, who have gone only 2-34 in league play across the past two seasons, will tip off on Dec. 13 in the Toyota Center. LSU won’t hit the meat of its nonconference schedule until the week of Thanksgiving, when it’s set to face Villanova (Nov. 27) and North Carolina State (Nov. 28) in

LIV players trickle back into PGA Any notion that players lured away by the Saudi Arabia riches of LIV Golf would never return to the PGA Tour doesn’t hold much water these days. Five months from now, there could be as many as five ex-LIV players teeing it up at the season opener in California. Brooks Koepka was the first to return, and that didn’t go the way he had hoped. He played 16 times and looked like a five-time major champion until his caddie handed him Doug the putter. Koepka Ferguson failed to reach the postseason at No. 94 in the FedEx Cup, a performance he described as “pathetic.” Patrick Reed, who decided not to renew with LIV a week before it began the 2026 season, is leading the Race to Dubai on the European tour and is a lock to be among the leading 10 players not already exempt to get PGA Tour cards for 2027. “I always saw myself wanting to start and finish my career on the PGA Tour,” Reed said. He will be playing the Nexo Championship next week in Scotland for a $3 million purse. Even one of the lesser “Challenger Series” events in the new tour schedule will feel like an upgrade. Others currently among the leading 10 are Eugenio Chacarra, Bernd Wiesberger and Shaun Norris. All of them were part of LIV Golf when the rival league launched in 2022, and all have been away from LIV long enough to return without penalty (and without equity). The PGA Tour has a full plate as it tries to shore up a revamped schedule for 2028 and to create a postseason format that finally puts some meaning into the word “playoffs.” Brian Rolapp, one year into his role as CEO of the PGA Tour, has never spent much time talking about LIV Golf because there’s no need, especially now. Rolapp saying in a Bloomberg News interview that there was “no merger, no conversations with LIV Golf,” somehow made news. The framework agreement got rid of the lawsuits. That was key. But creating a path back will need to be added to the plate at some point. The renegade league is in survival mode without Saudi funding, and while it is leaning into the concept of “LIV 2.0” with the

Continued from page 1C slightly different fashion, during a 30-minute interview. He reiterated he doesn’t believe his exit for LSU means he didn’t appreciate Ole Miss. Kiffin said he needed Ole Miss, and a six-year run that significantly rehabbed his coaching reputation, more than Ole Miss needed him. He again said that his two coaching mentors, Nick Saban and Pete Carroll, told him to take the LSU job. He understands the expectations in Baton Rouge are sky high, and the Ole Miss fan base seems to have more of a tolerance for periodic down years. But the latter didn’t appeal to him. “Here (at Ole Miss) you can go 7-5, have 7-5 seasons, you’re good. They won’t even complain in offseason,” Kiffin said. “For a lot of people, that’s fine. That’s a big plus on their list … That didn’t do anything for me because, if I’m 7-5, I’m miserable. “I don’t care where I am, I don’t care if the fans are mad or not. I’m miserable myself.” LSU matches Kiffin’s energy in that way. “The expectation level, as we all know at LSU, is as high as anywhere in any sport of any program. It’s uncomfortable for a lot of people. I like

Angels fire pitching coach Maddux, two assistants

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Pitching coach Mike Maddux, bullpen coach Dom Chiti and assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott have been fired by the Los Angeles Angels. Interim front-office leader John Mozeliak announced several changes Tuesday to first-year manager Kurt Suzuki’s coaching staff. The Angels have the majors’ worst record at 45-74 as they head toward their 11th consecutive losing season, and they fired general manager Perry Minasian in late June. Tim Leveque was appointed Los Angeles’ interim pitching coach, and Michael Wuertz will be the club’s interim bullpen coach. Leveque is in his first season as the pitching coach at the Angels’ Double-A Rocket City affiliate after working in the Cardinals organization.

The Public Investment Fund spent more than $5 billion in ﬁve years, much of that to attract stars who went over to LIV because of the money. “So many of them came because this was a good opportunity for them to make some money, and this second bite at the apple is equity instead of cash,” LIV CEO Scott O’Neil said last week when sharing the news of an agreement with an investor. He was full of more optimism than details, chief among them the size of the investment. And then the show went on. Joaquin Niemann won for the ninth time. Jon Rahm clinched the individual title for the third straight time and picked up a $6 million bonus, down from $18 million the last two years he won it. Scottie Schefﬂer won $10 million for winning the PGA Tour’s regular season. The PGA Tour’s new “Championship Series” in 2028 offers $20 million purses. LIV Golf’s restructuring will likely have prize funds half that size. The math is not that complicated. LIV ends its season next week in Indianapolis. And then what?

that,” Kiffin said. “There’s never a minute, a second in the day that I’m at LSU, that I don’t feel the power of LSU,” he added, “that I don’t feel the magnitude of LSU.” The decision to leave Ole Miss for LSU was one thing. How he left was another. As naive as it may sound, Kiffin thought he could coach the postseason at Ole Miss because, when he was an assistant at Alabama in 2015, thendefensive coordinator Kirby Smart remained on staff after taking the Georgia head job and helped the Crimson Tide win a national title. Georgia and Alabama were also SEC rivals. Smart, however, wasn’t leaving one head job for another. “My thought was that gave the players the best chance to win because all the coaches are there. There’s no change from top down, from strength coaches to position coaches to head coach,” Kiffin said. “Everything’s the same on a team that’s 11-1 and one of the hottest teams in the country.” Kiffin said he was “fighting” his “(butt) off” to stay and coach Ole Miss in the postseason. In hindsight, he should have accepted Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter’s stance that the newly hired LSU coach can’t lead the Rebels in the postseason. “All that stuff just muddied

Players will have months to contemplate their futures in golf while dropping in on the odd European tour or Asian Tour event. The day before O’Neil gave his update on a lead investor, Cameron Smith said about a return to the PGA Tour, “I mean, if it was the only option, I think that’s where everyone would want to be for sure, 100%.” Lucas Herbert said his management has been in touch with the tour. The key ﬁgures are Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, who are more valuable to LIV Golf than they would be to the PGA Tour. Of course, that’s not the way DeChambeau sees it. “Personally, I’d love to be able to play events on the PGA Tour, too,” DeChambeau said last week in an interview with the New York Post. “I think that’s best for golf. I’d love that. It’s not an either-or mentality. It’s ‘can we do both?’ I think that’s where everybody wants to be. “There isn’t a golf fan on the planet who doesn’t want to see me play a big tour event, and I get that,” he said. “I’d love to go play events that make sense, love to play team golf and love to play wherever they’ll let me.”

Is that what the PGA Tour and its members want? Rolapp in January offered a path back to DeChambeau, Smith and Rahm — major champions since LIV launched in 2022 — and gave them three weeks to decide. None took the offer, no surprise. At the time, there was no indication Saudi Arabia was going to turn off the cash spigot for a league that is (was) all about cash. Those are three prominent names. There are others like Tyrrell Hatton (four Ryder Cup teams) and Niemann (nine LIV victories). There is unproven youth. There also are 17 players who are 40 or older who might not want to saddle up for a rugged path back to where they once were. So much depends on how LIV 2.0 comes together and how long it can last. Rolapp has been consistent in saying he wants what is best for the tour while respecting that his players might harbor more bad feelings from having lived through the big split. He also might come to realize the PGA Tour has done just ﬁne without them.

it up more,” Kiffin said. “Then at that point, (Ole Miss) didn’t let me have the team meeting (before leaving), which is understandable.” There is no going back. Kiffin can’t erase the tumult that led to boos at the Oxford airport, or find peace ahead of a Week 3 return to Ole Miss as LSU’s head coach. Kiffin told McGee he was just beginning to be more loved than hated toward the end of his Ole Miss tenure, but the balance has probably shifted toward hate. He compared it to wrestler Hulk Hogan, who alternated between hero and heel multiple times in his career. Hogan, who died about a year after Kiffin’s father Monte, offered the coach a lesson on the finality of life. He had to make decisions that would make him happy in the end. As his SEC Network interview wrapped, Kiffin was asked to provide a book title for this stage in his coaching career. He billed his transition to LSU as “The Moment.” “Because this moment, this decision, is going to be a huge part of the story and how all the rest of it is remembered,” Kiffin said. “Because really what will solve a lot of it, or what will write a lot of it — winning.”

Belmont (Nov. 23). After LSU faces the Wolfpack, it will play four of its last six nonconference games away from home.

LSU will then face Northwestern State in Natchitoches on Dec. 6; Houston on Dec. 13; Stonehill at home on Dec. 15; UConn in Nashville, Tennessee, on Dec. 20; and Alcorn State at home on Dec. 27. LSU begins SEC play with a Dec. 31 road game against Auburn — the only league rival that appears twice on the Tigers’ schedule this season. LSU will play Texas at home on Feb. 11 and South Carolina on the road on Feb. 21 in what looks like the toughest stretch of the slate: Six of the eight teams on the docket in February ﬁnished in the top half of the league last season. Before the Tigers open Year 6 of the coach Kim Mulkey era on Nov. 2 against Southeastern, they’ll play their two customary exhibition games in the PMAC, this year against UNT Dallas (Oct. 22) and Loyola-New Orleans (Oct. 29). LSU is hoping to make its ﬁrst trip back to the Final Four since it won the 2023 national title. The Tigers have advanced to at least the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament in four straight seasons. Last year, they reached the Sweet 16 and lost to Duke on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.

EAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings have chosen Kyler Murray as their starting quarterback over J.J. McCarthy, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Tuesday because the team had not yet made the announcement. Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell pledged to supervise a true competition for the job between the newcomer Murray and the incumbent McCarthy. While Murray had the majority of the turns with the ﬁrst team, McCarthy had plenty of opportunities in open-to-the-public practices as well. McCarthy was the 10th overall pick in the 2024 draft.

Free agent cornerback Terrion Arnold is set to visit the New York Giants on Wednesday, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Arnold, 23, is facing eight felony charges stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men. He became a free agent in late June after the Detroit Lions released him in the aftermath of being charged. Arnold visited New Orleans and reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle already this week and reportedly also met with Houston. The Schultz Report was the ﬁrst to report Arnold meeting with the Giants, who are dealing with injuries in their secondary. Arnold has played in 25 NFL games.

FLORHAM PARK,N.J. — New York Jets cornerback Qwan’tez Stiggers was taken to a hospital by ambulance after he briefly lost consciousness during a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday. Jets coach Aaron Glenn said the 24-year-old Stiggers was conscious and talking on the field before being put on a stretcher and taken for further examination. There was no immediate word on Stiggers’ condition, but Glenn indicated the cornerback was doing OK. “He was able to talk and I want to make sure I go and see him after this, just to make sure I’m good with everything,” Glenn said. Stiggers is entering his third season with the Jets after being a fifth-round draft pick in 2024.

High school football player practices with snake in helmet

MAUMELLE,Ark. — A high school football player in Arkansas had every right to be rattled after finding a venomous snake inside his helmet during practice. The Maumelle High student felt unusual movement inside his headgear following warmups last week and brought his helmet to an assistant coach for inspection. A slithering, 2-foot cottonmouth was discovered behind some padding. The pit viper was so reluctant to exit the helmet that police ofﬁcers had to pour water into it to force the snake out and into a bag. Animal services technicians arrived a few minutes later, identiﬁed the snake as a deadly cottonmouth and took it to a wooded area far from the school. Cottonmouths are the secondmost venomous snakes found in Arkansas.

SAINTS

Red zone issues are slowing Saints down CB Emerson has strong performance

BY MATTHEW PARAS Staff writer

Even when the New Orleans Saints switched quarterbacks last season, the black and gold’s red zone offense remained a problem. In Tyler Shough’s nine starts, the Saints scored a touchdown on 45.8% of trips Observations their inside the 20. That was an improvement over the 42.9% under Spencer Rattler, but the difference only resulted in the Saints going from 30th in red zone efficiency to 28th. Combine all 17 games, and the Saints ranked dead last in red zone drives that resulted in a touchdown. Through 10 training camp practices, the Saints are having familiar issues when the field becomes condensed. Shough threw two interceptions and led the offense to a 22-yard field goal in three sets of reps during a situational drill near the end of Monday’s practice. In this set-up scenario — called “red zone lockout” — the offense was awarded seven points for a touchdown and three for a field goal, while the defense got seven points for forcing a turnover or a missed field goal and four points for forcing the offense to settle for a made field goal. The other quarterbacks didn’t fare much better. Zach Wilson was the only quarterback to lead his unit to a touchdown, and the Saints defense earned a 22-13 win to cap the practice. But the drill highlighted an area in which the offense hasn’t established much of a rhythm. “Situational football is just huge,” coach Kellen Moore said. “We’ve got to play better in the red zone. We’ve got to run the football better down there, play clean football, get ourselves manageable sit-

Attendance The Saints were again without running back Kendre Miller (back), wide receiver Mason Tipton (leg), running back Devin Neal (hamstring), linebacker Chris Rumph (ankle), guard Dillon Radunz (ACL), defensive end Cam Jordan (hamstring) and defensive tackle John Ridgeway (back). In good news for the Saints, rookies Jeremiah Wright (shoulder) and Christen Miller (toe) returned to practice and participated in team drills.

Emerson’s progress

Play of the day

As the Saints plan to visit with free agent cornerback Terrion Arnold, Martin Emerson made his case that the secondary depth is just fine. Emerson had his best performance of camp, picking off Rattler and recording two pass breakups. The showing was the latest step for Emerson as he comes back from the torn Achilles he suffered last season with the Cleveland Browns. Emerson joined the Saints on a one-year deal in April. “He continues to push the envelope and get better,” cornerback Jayden Price said. Emerson’s emergence may not influence the Saints’ thinking on Arnold — the former Lions firstrounder who was released last month after being charged with eight felonies related to a kidnapping and robbery case. But at the very least, his progress could give the team comfort if another cornerback needed to replace Kool-Aid McKinstry or Quincy Riley in the event

Carl Granderson missed out on a near interception when he couldn’t grab a pass intended for Alvin Kamara. So when the Saints defensive end ﬁnally got his hands on the ball just two plays later, picking off Shough in the red zone, Granderson punted his interception deep down the ﬁeld in celebration. Granderson took advantage of what appeared to be a Shough mistake or a miscommunication between the quarterback and his receiver.

Brees to be inducted into Saints’ Ring of Honor Jordan’s injury could extend to regular season

Days after he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Drew Brees earned yet another accomplishment. The Saints announced that the Hall of Fame quarterback will be inducted into their Ring of Honor during halftime of the team’s Oct. 11 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. Brees is the ninth person from the Saints to earn the honor. The former signal caller, who played 15 seasons for the Saints and Notebook ered delivtheir only Super Bowl title, joins a group that includes quarterback Archie Manning (2013), linebacker Rickey Jackson (2013), tackle William Roaf (2013), kicker Morten Andersen (2016), late owner Tom Benson (2018), defensive end Will Smith (2019), linebacker Sam Mills (2021) and guard Jahri Evans (2024). Brees will also receive his Hall of Fame ring of excellence during the on-ﬁeld ceremony. “We are thrilled to welcome Drew into this distinguished group in October,” owner Gayle Benson said in a statement. “His extraordinary accomplishments on the ﬁeld, his leadership, and his lasting contributions to the New Orleans community make this honor so well deserved. “We look forward to celebrating Drew with our fans and honoring the extraordinary legacy he built with the Saints and throughout the New Orleans community.” General manager Mickey Loomis added it would be a “privilege” to induct Brees

Jordan has missed only one game in his career because of injury, last doing so in 2022 when an orbital fracture kept him out of the lineup against the Los Angeles Rams. He also missed a game in 2021 after testing positive for COVID-19. In 2023, he played through an ankle injury that required offseason surgery. Jordan’s hamstring injury is unfortunate, given it took several months for him and the Saints to agree on a new contract. After a resurgent 10½-sack season in 2025, Jordan eventually re-signed on a one-year, $7.5 million deal in June.

didn’t even know he was getting his teammate’s old number. “That was not something I planned at all,” Dekkers said with a smile. Dekkers, the Saints’ fourth-string quarterback, was assigned the jersey after wearing No. 18 throughout last season. Dekkers spent most of last year going on and off the practice squad, but the Saints kept bringing him back to help aid his development. Dekkers said he sees a significance in wearing Hill’s number. “Taysom means so much to this team, so obviously, it’s something that is super important,”he said. “It’s a really cool feeling, but it’s something to live up to, for sure.” Hill has not announced his retirement, but announced at the beginning of training camp that he would not be returning to New Orleans for a 10th season.

Defensive end Cam Jordan’s hamstring injury will cause him to “miss a little bit of time” and could even linger into the start of the regular season, coach Kellen Moore said Tuesday. Jordan missed his third straight practice after suffering the injury on Thursday. Moore previously said that the 37-year-old would need further consultation after receiving an initial diagnosis. “We’ll see,” Moore said. “It could possibly get into the season, but you never know.

Odds and ends

no doubt dampened the day. His second interception to Riley was the kind of forced throw on fourth down in an attempt to win the game, and while the situation may have called for it, Riley tracked the ball rather easily to make the play. n Rattler also had a rough outing. Before he was picked off by Emerson, he had a pass that was broken up by the cornerback, took a sack, threw an incompletion (that appeared to be pass interference) and saw a pass tipped at the line of scrimmage that Audric Estime caught. n Speaking of Estime, the former Broncos running back continues to impress the coaching staff. Running backs coach Joel Thomas said he had Estime run with the ﬁrst string to see what he could do after being encouraged over his output against the team’s backups. n Though Jordan will miss time with a hamstring injury, the Saints should feel good about their edge rusher depth. Tyree Wilson stacked another strong practice and he appears to be hitting stride. Veteran Anfernee Jennings also recorded a sack. n New Orleans’ issues in the red zone aren’t just on the quarterback. On Tuesday, there were a number of pre-snap penalties that put the offense in unfavorable situations. The defense, though, wasn’t exempt from these issues. An offside gave the third unit a new set of downs that resulted in a touchdown, and there were several other penalties that gave the offense new life. n The Saints’ kicking battle took an turn as both Charlie Smyth and Tanner Brown got to kick in practice. Smyth went 6 of 7 — with his lone miss coming from 54 yards. Brown made all of his attempts. Moore said he expects the in-practice rotation to continue at least for the next two weeks.

n Before Shough’s miscues in the “red zone drag out,” he looked sharp in the ﬁrst half of practice. The errors near the end change the evaluation, but he excelled on several third-and-long downs. And on fourth and 1 from the opposing 16-yard line, Shough delivered a strike to tight end Juwan Johnson for a touchdown.

PRICE

Continued from page 1C playing toe-to-toe with those guys. He’s playing some really good football.” Though Price carries a slight frame for the position — he’s listed as 5-foot11 and 185 pounds — Price has made up for his size with athleticism and play recognition through 10 training camp practices. His ability to read keys and diagnose what is about to happen has been made evident through his playmaking, such as a play in practice Sunday when he came on a slot blitz and timed his jump perfectly to bat down a quick Spencer Rattler pass at the line of scrimmage. “J.P. is playing really well right now,” veteran safety Terrell Burgess said. “As far as one-onones and team periods, he’s doing just about everything he can. He probably has the most (interceptions

and passes broken up) out of (all the defensive backs). I’m excited to see how he plays in the preseason.” Rookie receiver Bryce Lance was familiar with what Price could do; the two were teammates for three seasons at North Dakota State. But the player he’s encountered in this training camp is one that is more technically proﬁcient than the Price he remembered in college. Last week, Lance was running a vertical route with Price in coverage during one-on-ones. The 6-3 Lance has a decided height advantage, and his 4.34-speed makes him a difﬁcult matchup for anyone. Lance initially got a step on Price, but Price closed the gap late to make a play on the ball. “He was really good in college, but I think his patience and his playmaking ability (has improved),” Lance said. “He was a playmaker in college as well, but seeing the knowledge

of his game grow, how he moves his feet and how he makes plays on the ball has been really cool to see.” While most of Price’s playing time has come in the slot, Moore said he will get some looks as an outside cornerback. Price has also been rotating in with the punt and kick return groups, an area where he excelled at North Dakota State and in the UFL. Price said his goal has been to come out in this training camp and “play fast and conﬁdent.” Ten practices in, it seems he’s doing just that — and making a larger case for himself in the process. “If you go out there timid, you’re not going to be able to play free,” Burgess said. “He’s got a lot of conﬁdence in himself and he’s going out there and doing exactly what we think he can do.” Email Luke Johnson at ljohnson@theadvocate.com.

Talented area RBs primed for a big season Jermond Macklin

BY SPENCER URQUHART Staff writer

Edna Karr (Sr.) Macklin is next in line to lead Karr’s backfield after the reigning state champions graduated Tre Garrison, who is now at Oregon State. A key contributor as a junior, the 6-foot, 185-pound Macklin has gotten recruiting attention with offers from Florida State and others.

The running back position is extremely valuable in high school football with plenty of teams in the New Orleans area leaning on the run game as their primary means of offense. The region surrounding the Crescent City has had talented running backs over the years, some of which starred in the NFL, such as Marshall Faulk and Leonard Fournette. St. Martin’s alum Harlem Berry could be the next to do so now that he’s at LSU. Listed below are 10 New Orleans-area running backs to watch this season.

Jaden Terrance

Fabian Celestine Hahnville (Sr.) Celestine took over as Hahnville’s lead running back after returning from a leg injury that ended his sophomore season early. A 5-foot-10, 185-pound Northwestern State commitment, Celestine finished with over 1,200 yards rushing and 18 total touchdowns last season.

Brady Cribby Haynes (Sr.) The 5-8, 170-pound Cribby has proven himself as the workhorse in a run-heavy Haynes offense. A Times-Picayune all-metro selection, Cribby had over 2,200 yards from scrimmage as a junior, racking up 2,004 yards rushing on 227 carries and 26 total touchdowns.

Targeting penalties assessed in the second half of a game will no longer require the offending player to sit out the first half of his team’s next game, offensive pass interference will become a 10-yard penalty and the littleused fair catch kick will be introduced to college football. Those are among the changes for the 2026 season, the National Football Foundation announced Tuesday in its annual summary of rules changes. The targeting penalty change will be an experimental rule for 2026. A player disqualified for targeting for the first time in the season may participate in the following game. The trial rule will apply regardless of which half the targeting penalty is called. A player who draws his second targeting penalty of the season will be required to miss the first half of the next game. A player who draws his third targeting penalty of the season must sit out the full following game. A conference can choose to initiate an appeals process after a player’s second targeting penalty.

Offensive PI now 10 yards

The penalty for offensive pass interference is being adjusted from 15 yards to 10 yards. The rules reserve 15-yard penalties primarily for personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct. Defensive pass interference will remain a spot foul, with a maximum of a 15-yard penalty.

Continued from page 1C State in 2024. Playing a lesser role early last year, he left the Bulldogs in mid-September to preserve a final season of eligibility and transferred to Tulane in January. “This dude’s a good player,” Hall said. “He had a really good spring and did a great job of changing his body with (strength and conditioning coordinator) Colin Kenyan and our nutrition staff. He’s in much better shape and will have a big year.” Daniels would have been lower than third on the depth chart entering preseason camp. Fifth-year senior Maurice Turner (5-10, 196) rushed for 86 yards on 14 carries against Northwestern in the Wave’s 2025 opener before suffering a sprained ankle that bothered him for the rest of the year. “If Maurice hadn’t gotten hurt, he would have been one of the more dynamic players in this league,” Hall said. “If he can stay healthy, he is going to have a dynamic year.” Terrebonne High School and Edna Karr graduate Jaylin Lucas (5-9, 174), another fifth-year senior, exhibited big-play potential as a runner and receiver in the spring after spending two years at Indiana and two more at Florida State. “Any one of the backs can make explosive plays, run fast, make people miss and run through people,” Lucas said during spring drills. “We like to spread the ball around, and everybody in that running back room is going to take advantage of it.” A fifth back, 6-1, 212-pound redshirt freshman Oklahoma State transfer DJ Dugar, ran well in the spring but has not practiced this camp because of an unspecified injury. “They are a special group,” linebacker Makai Williams said. “They

“When(the injury) happened, he said, ‘Coach, I’m going to be fine. God’s got a plan for me and I’m going to be better from this.’ That’s all you want. If everybody lived life like that, we’d all be in a good spot.” WILL HALL, Tulane coach are the most versatile group I’ve seen across the board. You’ve got guys that can run downhill. You’ve got guys you can put in the slot.” The upshot: although losing McClure for any game would be a significant blow, the Wave seems well-equipped to withstand his short-term absence. He missed spring drills while recovering from double-shoulder surgery in the offseason and appeared to take his latest setback with aplomb. “His attitude is unbelievable,” Hall said. “When(the injury) happened, he said, ‘Coach, I’m going to be fine. God’s got a plan for me and I’m going to be better from this.’ That’s all you want. If everybody lived life like that, we’d all be in a good spot.”

Lagniappe Tulane will be off Wednesday before returning to Yulman Stadium for a workout on Thursday, a walkthrough on Friday and a Saturday scrimmage that will be incorporated into a regular practice. … Redshirt freshman tight end Cameron Roberts, whom Hall said had come on in the past two practices, ended Tuesday’s workout with a touchdown reception from Zeon ChrissGremillion while backing up in the end zone. … Returning after missing the first week to rest a hip-flexor issue, St. Martin’s High graduate Cooper Helmke hit a 49-yard field goal that landed about 10 rows deep in the stand during warm-ups. In the live portion, defensive back Anthony Rogers broke through to block Helmke’s 20-yard attempt.

Fever coach says divisiveness ‘will not win’ during pregame rant BY MICHAEL MAROT Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White has had enough of the conversations around the WNBA this season that aren’t about basketball. On Tuesday, she finally lashed out. The 2023 WNBA Coach of the Year and one of the original Fever players angrily defended herself after she was criticized for her response to Chicago Sky forward DiJonai Carrington’s ﬂagrant foul on Sophie Cunningham, and pleaded with people to focus on the sport and not the continual sideshows. “The hate, the fear mongering, the divisiveness that’s trying to hijack our league will not win. It won’t win,” White said, her voice

rising as she pounded the table in front of her. “We are united. We are connected. We will not be divided. Every day these women put their ass on the line. Every day when they go low, we go high. Love will win. Grace will win. Humility will win and kindness will win. I stand by them, I will always stand by them. Everybody else can go to hell.” White left after her 21/2-minute outburst without taking questions. For the Fever, this has been a season full of controversies. It happened again Saturday when Carrington hit Cunningham in the head and neck area, knocking the Fever guard hard to the ground on a breakaway layup. Cunningham got up and charged toward Carrington but was restrained. Carrington was assessed a Flagrant 2, an automatic ejection. She

then wrote “WHITE PRIVILEGE” and tagged the Fever on a social media account. On Monday, Carrington said she never claimed the call was “white privilege.” Cunningham has been outspoken about her desire to keep transgender women out of women’s sports, a position that has spurred rallies for and against her stance. White initially said she thought the refs got the call right but that she didn’t think that action near the head and neck area was intentional. Critics claimed she was defending Carrington. “OK... The Indiana Fever need to let Stephanie White go,” Indiana Lieutenant Gov. Micah Beckwith wrote Sunday on X. “No solid coach would ever take the side of the opposing team’s player who committed a ﬂagrant foul on one of

your own players. Terrible coaching! The Fever need to defend their players.” White explained Tuesday that she had not seen the replay when she ﬁrst spoke with reporters Saturday and that she changed her opinion after watching it again. She called the foul “egregious.” “Our players’ success, our players’ health and wellness, our players’ safety is always a top priority,” she began, her voice rising. “One of the things I pride myself on is my relationships with my players. For those who have anything to say about the play in the last game, I didn’t see the replay. I went straight to a press conference, I thought the play got called right. Thankfully, Sophie is OK. Was it egregious? Absolutely. “When you get a chance to see

that on replay over and over, you see that. I didn’t see that in real time. I personally take any suggestions that I don’t 100% always have my players back. I ride with them 10 toes down all the time, all the time.” Cunningham received a loud ovation when she entered Tuesday’s game against the New York Liberty. White received polite applause when she was introduced. White faced a similar controversy when three-time All-Star Caitlin Clark also was fouled hard earlier this season, prompting a letter from the U.S. House of Representatives to WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert. White and Clark also were involved in a sideline spat in May. Now White just wants everyone to get back to basketball.

Red Sox score bizarre run on sacrifice fly The Associated Press TORONTO — Anthony Seigler scored from third base on a sacrifice fly Monday night — without ever tagging up on an inning-ending play. Needless to say, that left everyone in Toronto a little confused. Seigler scored Boston’s only run in a 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays on a chaotic double play that resulted in a 17-minute delay as umpires sorted out the whole thing. “We kind of got a break there,” Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said. While there was only one out when Ceddanne Rafaela hit a flyball to center field in the seventh, the scoreboard showed two outs. The ball was still in the air when Seigler headed toward the plate and Nick Sogard took off from first base. When the ball was caught and the Blue Jays eventually tossed it to first to double up Sogard, that was the third out and it appeared Toronto still led 2-0 as players headed to the dugout. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said everyone assumed the inning was over when plate umpire Charlie Ramos “waved off the run,” and said that during all the confusion he was never given the opportunity to appeal Seigler not tagging up from third. Umpires then started discussing the bizarre play. There were separate conversations with both managers before conferring with MLB’s replay center for a rules check on what crew chief Chris Guccione said was a timing play and not a force play. In the end, because Seigler crossed home plate before Sogard was called out at first, and Toronto never appealed the runner leaving third base early, the run was awarded to the Red Sox.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela flies into a sacrifice double play that was reviewed with a time play, allowing Anthony Seigler to score against the Toronto Blue Jays during the seventh inning on Monday in Toronto. “We felt like it was our obligation to correct the error for not scoring the run originally,” Guccione said. “The rule is the rule. ... So if the run scores from third, no matter what he did tagging up, or not, before the out is recorded at first, the run counts,” Schneider said. “Now, if we had just thrown the ball to third instead of first, obviously different story.” Guccione told a pool reporter after the game that the Blue Jays would have had to appeal at third base before leaving the field to prevent that run. “After consulting with MLB, they told me that all of my players were across the third base line before Charlie waved off the run, which I 100% disagree with,” Schneider said. “I don’t know if

Vlad is that fast after he got the ball at first.” But even some Blue Jays appeared to think the catch by center fielder Brett Batemen was the third out of the inning. Toronto reliever Simeon Woods Richardson and catcher Brandon Valenzuela both turned their back to the play and were going to the dugout even before second baseman Josh Smith got the ball from Bateman and threw to first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. “It was a weird, very weird situation, where the players on both sides seemed to be confused on the outs,” Tracy said. “Going forward, when that play happens again in the next 100 years, if it’s us, we will record the lead out at third,” Schneider said.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL Aug. 12

1948 — In the second game of a doubleheader, the Cleveland Indians beat the St. Louis Browns 26-3 with a 29-hit barrage. The Indians set a major league record as 14 different players hit safely. 1964 — Mickey Mantle hit a home run both left- and right-handed in a 7-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. It was the 10th time in his career and a major league record for switch-hit homers in a game. 1966 — Art Shamsky of the Cincinnati Reds connected for three home runs in a 14-11, 13-inning loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates at Crosley Field. Two of the homers came in the 10th and 11th innings. 1970 — Curt Flood lost his $41 million antitrust suit against baseball. 1974 — Nolan Ryan of the California Angels set an American League record by striking out 19 in a 4-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. Ryan, who walked two, bettered the 18 strikeouts set by Bob Feller in 1938 and tied the major league record set by Steve Carlton in 1969 and Tom Seaver in 1970. 1984 — Perhaps one of the ugliest brawlﬁlled games in major league history took place in Atlanta. Atlanta’s Pascual Perez hit San Diego’s Alan Wiggins in the back with the ﬁrst pitch of the game. It escalated as the Padres pitchers retaliated by throwing at Perez all four times he came to the plate. The game had two bench-clearing brawls, the second of which included several fans and 19 ejections including both managers and both replacement managers. The Braves beat the Padres 5-3. San Diego manager Dick Williams would be suspended for 10 days

and fined $10,000 while Atlanta manager Joe Torre and five players each received three-game suspensions. 1986 — Don Baylor of the Boston Red Sox set an AL record when he was hit by a pitch for the 25th time for the season, breaking the record he had shared with Bill Freehan (1968) and Norm Elberfield (1911). Kansas City’s Bud Black was the pitcher as the Royals completed a doubleheader sweep with a 6-5 victory. 1988 — The Boston Red Sox set an AL record with their 23rd straight victory at home, beating the Detroit Tigers 9-4. Boston surpassed the league mark of 22 set by the 1931 Philadelphia Athletics. 1994 — Major league baseball players went on strike for the sport’s eighth work stoppage since 1972. 1998 — Alex Rodriguez becomes the fourth youngest player to 100 home runs in a 11 — 5 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. 2010 — Casey McGehee set a franchise record with his ninth straight hit, going 4 for 4 and leading the Milwaukee Brewers to an 8-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. McGehee had a solo homer, a two-run double, an RBI single and another single. 2015 — Clayton Kershaw tied Sandy Koufax’s franchise record of six straight 200-strikeout seasons while tossing eight scoreless innings, and Los Angeles defeated Washington 3-0. Kershaw struck out the side in the second to equal the mark set by Koufax from 1961-66. 2015 — Hisashi Iwakuma of the Seattle Mariners throws a no-hitter in a 3-0 victory over the Orioles. Iwakuma becomes the second Japanese pitcher to throw a nohitter following Hideo Nomo.

Brit sets speed record in hydrogen-powered car BY HANNAH SCHOENBAUM Associated Press

WENDOVER, Utah — The only person to break the sound barrier in a car earned another world record Tuesday in a show of force for hydrogen power. British driver Andy Green reached 406.320 mph in a car powered by two hydrogen internal combustion engines with a combined 1,600 horsepower, setting the record for that vehicle category, according to the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, the international governing body of motor sports. The 64-year-old retired Royal Air Force pilot rocketed across the crystalline crust at Utah’s famous Bonneville Salt Flats in a 32-foot car engineered by British construction equipment manufacturer JCB. The engines, adapted from those used in the company’s heavy machinery, mix pressurized hydrogen gas with air and ignite it to

create bursts of power. “It’s magic to be able to showcase this technology and to showcase how good the engineering is on the best racing surface in the world, Bonneville Salt Flats,” Green told The Associated Press after the run. To be clear, Tuesday’s feat didn’t come close to approaching the overall land-speed record, which Green set with jet power in 1997. That year, he climbed into the Thrust SSC, a black needle sandwiched between two cartoonishly large jet engines, and hit 763.035 mph, breaking the sound barrier and achieving a feat no one has come close to matching. His runs in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert produced sonic booms that shook the nearby town of Gerlach. In 2006, Green also set the landspeed record for a diesel-powered car — 350.092 mph — at the Bonneville Salt Flats. He returned there Tuesday with the goal of beating that mark using hydrogen power, which he has called

the “fuel of the future.” In targeting his diesel speed, Green easily topped the previous hydrogen combustion world record of 185.5 mph. He had a 10mile straightaway to build speed. A few dozen JCB staff members and reporters watched from a distance through cameras and binoculars. Green said the cockpit of the car he used on Tuesday was “probably a little hotter” than in the jetpowered vehicle from 1997, with temperatures routinely above 122 degrees Fahrenheit. “But I have been training four months for that, both training in the gym and actually just getting used to it with hot baths,” he said. A remnant of a prehistoric lake bed, the Bonneville Salt Flats are about 100 miles west of Salt Lake City and sit atop a shallow aquifer that cools the tires. The low-friction surface and dry desert air are conducive to speed and have beckoned drivers since the ﬁrst race there in 1914.

‘IT’S BEEN CRAZY.’

Emeril Lagasse responds as his old cooking shows go viral BY IAN McNULTY Staff writer

Picture how chef Emeril Lagasse is rolling in the world right now. The restaurant he founded back in 1990, Emeril’s, has been reaching new levels of acclaim with his son E.J. Lagasse at the helm. He has new restaurants opening, and he’s been all over Netﬂix after the streaming service picked up his latest show, “Emeril Cooks.” But now picture him scrolling through his own social media feeds to discover a different marker of fame coming in via the wayback machine. It’s a younger version of himself, now suddenly trending with a new audience.

here have you been eating and where’s next? These are the perpetual questions in New Orleans with endless answers. Right now, in deepest summer, maybe it’s at places that offer a sense of escape, or an appreciation for what we have here even through the slog of it, or perhaps dishes that just seem right for the season. Below are dishes and restaurants I’ve been talking about most when the questions above come up. Now, let’s eat:

Oxtails

Two Sisters in Treme, 1610 Basin St.

When it comes to soul food, consider a tip from Irma Thomas, the soul queen of New Orleans, to be blue-chip quality. Thomas and her husband, Emile Jackson, helped back Two Sisters proprietor Colette Finister as she reopened her longtime soul food restaurant in a new location. That has brought back a daily-changing menu full of plate lunches based around wonderful gravies and roux. The oxtails are a Sunday favorite for Thomas herself. They give melting mouthfuls of beefy, gelatinous meat, and a gravy that mixes with the yellow rice and vegetables on a generous plate,

SUMMER

Continued from page 1D round out a meal that started with two truly exhilarating small plates (salmon crudo and crab tagliatelle). Chicken can sometimes be the safe but boring choice at a serious restaurant, and that would have been a comedown. But there’s no room for a perfunctory dish at this tiny, chefled, diner-style restaurant. The chicken was perfectly cooked once again, seared at the edge, juicy, satisfying and not heavy, completed with a clutch of grilled sweet peppers, crispy potatoes and creamy aioli. Remember to BYOB.

Oyster skewers Bar 1865, 916 Lafayette St.

This atmospheric downtown townhouse-turned-restaurant and cocktail spot is home to one dish that feels like the ultimate drinking snack: skewers of smoked oysters, pinned to juicy Castelvetrano olives and pickled pearl onions, covered in an almond garlic chili crisp. Like a deluxe version of a Gilda, the Basque tapas bar standard, it’s a progression of briny, salty ﬂavor and a match made in heaven with a martini (note the abbreviated hours, serving dinner Thursday to Saturday).

New Orleans chef Emeril Lagasse cooks during a taping of his food show ‘Emeril Live!’.

EMERIL

Continued from page 1D Clips of his cooking shows “Emeril Live!” and “Essence of Emeril” from the mid-1990s through the mid-2000s have found new viral currency on social media, where people have been sharing them millions of times. “I was very surprised, it’s been crazy actually,” Lagasse said in an interview this week. “I did all of that a long time ago and here’s a generation that wasn’t part of it tuning into it now, seeing what their parents were in to.” The clips have proven especially popular on X, with people often posting comments that leave no doubt their moods have been kicked up a notch by the content. “It turns out that all the stuff my dad thought was cool was actually cool. We miss you big bro,” wrote an X user under the handle BasedinWV. The New York Times documented the phenomenon in a recent story under the headline “The Internet Suddenly Loves Emeril, Years After His TV Stardom.” The story attributes the new love not to some manufactured campaign, but rather to people organically gravitating to old clips out of nostalgia for seemingly simpler times, when a guided tour of a recipe by a charismatic host was enough to ﬂare up excitement like butter hitting a hot pan.

Making a legend

the chef added ingredients and talked through recipes with the enthusiasm of a ring announcer. “There was no script, and only God knew where we were going to go with it,” Lagasse recalled. “We knew what we would be cooking, but how people would respond, the energy it was feeding, that was something where you never knew on the daily basis where it was going go.” He blazed a path that inspired generations of people to get excited about cooking, and plenty to pursue the chef’s life as a career. Lagasse had not exactly been laying low before the recent social media happening. The newera Emeril’s Restaurant has been the talk of culinary circles, and earned two Michelin Stars last fall and a spot on North America’s 50 Best Restaurants list last spring. A second edition of his Meril restaurant opened in July in Las Vegas at the M Resort & Casino, and this fall a second location for Emeril’s Delmonico and the new Café by Emeril are set to open in the forthcoming Fairmont Hotel in downtown New Orleans. While his last Food Network show ended in 2007, Lagasse has hosted or appeared in numerous others since. His latest “Emeril Cooks” began appearing on Netflix in July (note: the first episode features myself as guest, with a look at the life of a restaurant writer in New Orleans). So Lagasse puts the new interest in the old clips in perspective of the here and now. “I put a lot of years into that show, and it’s nice to see the flashback of it,” Lagasse said. “These days, I’m in my restaurant world, and having E.J. at the flagship allows me to do other things. We’re constantly working with the team, pushing them forward.”

Lagasse recently recalled the raw energy that fueled it all. Like a late-night show crossed with a cooking show, “Emeril Live!” had guest stars and a live band, a feature the chef insisted on because of his own passion for music (he’s a drummer). There was an in-studio audi- Email Ian McNulty at ence, who would whup it up as imcnulty@theadvocate.com.

Grilled chicken is served with garlic cloves, sweet peppers and aioli at Dr. Jones restaurant in Metairie. This particular entree is different all around. Part of me doesn’t even want to like it, because I usually find swordfish at its best when it’s manipulated least. This one, on the other hand, is stuffed with prosciutto, paneed and finished with tonnato, a creamy sauce zingy with anchovies and capers. And yet, time and again, I order it and find it utterly compelling. Through August, it is also part of a three-course Coolinary menu for $58, so there’s a chance to assess it yourself with a lower barrier of entry. Try a negroni from the extensive cocktail list, and never skip dessert here.

never-fried seafood platter melds Shell Beach, the fishing village in “da Parish,” with the South Beach Diet, a low-carb craze of the early 2000s. This platter is not exactly lowcarb, or even particularly light, but it gives one bright, robust taste after the next. I last visited while working on a story about the chef’s new cookbook “Color of Flavor,” and this plate was once again a tasty tour through grilled redfish, oysters baked two ways, blackened tuna salad and crawfish cornbread.

Soup dumplings

I thought a crudo special would be the highlight of one impromptu dinner at the bar at Donald Link’s stylish downtown Italian restaurant. That was buttery-tasting pieces of hamachi turned into an Italian riff on sushi, with eggplant and caponata instead of the rice. But the most memorable taste turned out to be an off-the-menu cocktail at the end, in lieu of dessert. Gianna has an extensive amaro selection, a playground for fans of these dark, aromatic and pleasingly bitter liqueurs. They can be wildly different bottle to bottle, and some lend themselves to becoming a shakerato, a one-ingredient cocktail. Try this with the Braulio, a sharp, crisp Alpine-style amaro. The bartender shakes it with ice, strains it out and ﬁlls a glass with this dark, mellow-smooth potion under a frothy head. It’s an elegant after-dinner cocktail for a hot summer night.

These plump dumplings encase meat and broth in a supple noodle. Bite in, and the warm broth bursts over the palate.

I’ve been known to augment even a generous tasting menu with a dish or two from the regular one. If this sounds like you, don’t miss the beef tartar cannoli encased in delicate fried potato, tiara-like in its salty, delicate crunch, or a new summer special, the Creole tomato salad, which is arranged like a stained glass panel of different colored tomatoes over burrata and a tostada made with okra. This modern Brennan’s has a framework for formality, with tuxedo-clad waiters and tableside preparations, including its signature bananas Foster. It also gleefully weaves in a playful streak, like “summer saber Fridays” when a $75 ticket gets a bottle of Champagne and a lesson on saberage — a dramatic way of opening the bottle by knocking off its top, cork and all. You’ll feel like a cavalry ofﬁcer after a victory. Summer saber Fridays are held from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. each Friday afternoon in August in the courtyard. See brennansneworleans. com/events. These are all representations of a Creole restaurant at 80 years old acting like a very modern one.

its regular menu for $80 (before tax, tip or drinks), a good value at this level. If you’ve not visited since Kris Padalino was promoted from pastry chef to executive chef last year, this makes a fine introduction to her style. She brings a marked intricacy and beauty in presentation from the pastry arts over to the savory courses. The tasting menu starts with oysters on the half shell from one of the modern Grand Isle farms (using off-bottom cultivation), a treatment of lobster with BBQ shrimp sauce, redfish Veronique, an old French classic with a subtle update, and a beautiful cut of duck breast crusted in hazelnuts. Dessert is the Snickers, a riff on the candy bar and a Brennan’s house standard that has been sig- Email Ian McNulty at nificantly upgraded (did I mention imcnulty@theadvocate.com.

“A Legacy of Change” titled the Guardian Angel Awards Gala of Project Lazarus that hailed Avita Pharmacy as the Gala Program Sponsor and the JW Marriott New Orleans as the venue. Healthy Blue was the Diamond Level Gala Sponsor, while the Ruby category counted Barry Levie Financial and BeneCom Technologies. Dr. Ivan Sherman, along with Vincent Saia and Glynn Stephens, ﬁgured among the supporting people. The annual black-tie event assembles business leaders, philanthropists and supporters of Project Lazarus in its efforts to raise funds to provide housing and critical support services for community members with HIV. Additionally, Project Lazarius recognizes individuals whose compassion and commitment have profoundly helped those living with HIV/AIDS. The 2026 honorees were Greg Domingue, PE, MBA, branch manager AWC, Inc., and retired PL board chair; Sister Judith “Judy” Gomila, MSC, Marianite Sister of the Holy Cross, and retired PL board member; and retiree Jeff Guillory, a dedicated PL volunteer. They were recognized as the Guardian Angel awardees as determined by the awards gala committee consisting of board chair Gary Schiro,Andrea Albritton, Jason Allen, Elizabeth Bowles, Bruce Gallassero, Randy Jackson, and 2026 event chairs Nick Daigle, board member, and Jerry Q. Fredieu. In 2025, Lawrence Gobble and Dustin Woehrmann received the GA tributes. More names to know were Project Lazarus Executive Director Ian Bicko and Archbishop James F. Checchio, JCD, MBA, whose letter in the printed program praised the work of Project Lazarus, a non-proﬁt ministry and sponsored agency of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. He also gave special thanks to the three honorees. Ian Bicko and ArchJT Williams, Lluvia Peveto, Ian Bicko bishop Checchio serve on the PL board, along with Messrs.

Before sitting for a plated dinner, the caring and comely crowd milled about during a cocktail period, when they perused the silent auction and listened to the sounds and songs of a guitarist. A pre-set salad of mixed greens awaited the throng who admired the centerpieces of soft-gold roses and greenery.

Closing remarks and the conclusion of the silent auction wrapped up the program that nodded throughout to the theme of the bash.

Bridge By PHILLIP ALDER George Mikes was born in Hungary in 1912, but lived in Britain from 1946 until his death in 1987. About Britain, he said, “English humor resembles the Loch Ness Monster in that both are famous, but there is a strong suspicion that neither exists.” I disagree with half of that — and it is only slightly relevant that I was born in England. True, the British sense of humor is dry, but have you not laughed at Britcoms on PBS? However, the key word is “both.” Here, both sides can make good plays. South is in three no-trump. After West leads a fourth-highest spade five, what should happen? South starts with seven top tricks: three spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. He must get his extra tricks from dummy’s diamonds. And there is a natural reaction, after winning the first trick in hand, to play a diamond to dummy’s king and cash the diamond ace, planning on playing a third round. Here, though, when West discards a spade (not a heart!) on the second diamond, even with the heart finesse working, the contract can no longer be made. The correct technique is to duck (lose) the first diamond trick. Then, if the defenders continue plugging away at spades, South can win in his hand and

play three rounds of diamonds to establish two winners in the dummy while the spade ace remains as an entry. If West is allowed to hold the first diamond trick, he knows that the spade suit is hopeless. He should shift to his club king, under which East should signal with his jack.
