LSUNO boosts recruitment, misses goal Enrollment dips, but marketing blitz helps efforts BY MARIE FAZIO Staff writer

LSU New Orleans’ enrollment dipped slightly this fall, but the university managed to ﬁnally slow its decadelong loss of students, according to new data shared by uni-

versity ofﬁcials. About 5,530 students are registered to attend the university this semester, its ﬁrst after joining the LSU system in July. The fall count is about 140 students lower than last year. The move to the LSU system was

pitched as a lifeline for the struggling school, previously called the University of New Orleans, and a way to boost its enrollment, which was down thousands since its peak of 17,000 students before Hurricane Katrina. LSU New Orleans ofﬁcials had hoped to enroll 6,000

students this fall. While the school fell short of its target, it slowed the enrollment decline by ramping up recruitment and retention efforts. After a blitz of purple-and-gold marketing this summer, the university recruited 21% more new students this year than last year, said interim Chancellor Jeanette Weiland. And only 140 students left

the school after the spring semester — a major improvement from 2025, when the school lost 800 students. “What that means is we’ve stopped the bleeding,” Weiland said in an interview Tuesday. “Overall, total enrollment, we didn’t win,” she added, but “this is a great improvement.”

Southern food, drink museum closes

New Orleans facility celebrated regional culinary history, culture BY RICH COLLINS Staff writer

$1.5 million for an appearance at the semiﬁnals, $2 million for competing in the national championship or $3 million for winning a

The Southern Food & Beverage Museum on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard in Central City has permanently closed its doors, two years after celebrating its 20th anniversary. A spokesperson for the board of directors of the National Food & Beverage Foundation, which oversees the facility, said Wednesday that the nonprofit institution was unable to overcome financial obstacles created by the pandemic and hurricanes earlier this decade. The museum operators owe their out-of-state lender nearly $5 million in unpaid principal plus interest and late fees on its mortgage, according to court documents filed in Orleans Parish earlier this summer. Once the museum vacates the building, its debt will be settled, according to a statement from the museum board. Ahead of the move, the board is making plans for what to do with the exhibits and artifacts the museum has collected, and it is brainstorming the future of the foundation itself, according to the statement provided by museum spokesperson Larry Lovell. “For more than two decades, SoFAB has had the honor of preserving, interpreting and presenting the rich history and importance of the culinary traditions of the South,” the statement said. “While SoFAB will no longer operate as a museum, we are working to preserve and present the legacy of Southern food in a different

Iran, U.S. brace for a long war

BRIEFS

FROM WIRE REPORTS

Prosecutor leading probe of Trump foes resigns

WASHINGTON — An ally of President Donald Trump said Thursday that he has resigned from his post leading a Justice Department investigation into whether former law enforcement and intelligence officials conspired against the Republican president. “I did in fact resign,” Joe diGenova told The Associated Press, calling it an “honor and a privilege” to serve Trump and the Justice Department. He declined to comment on the circumstances of his departure, which came just five months after he was brought back to the Justice Department to help oversee a loosely defined investigation targeting former government officials who over the last decade had scrutinized Trump. The 81-year-old diGenova served as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia during the Reagan administration. A close Trump ally, he was brought back to the Justice Department in April and given responsibility for an investigation aimed at trying to establish a conspiracy against Trump.

Court asked to intervene in Texas surrogate case DALLAS — A surrogate from Alaska, who refused to have an abortion and instead delivered a baby boy with a severe heart condition, has been dismissed from a Texas court case and has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene. McKenna West, the surrogate, gave birth in August to a baby boy in a Dallas hospital. She continued to carry the pregnancy after the fetus was diagnosed with a severe heart condition and after the biological parents asked her to undergo an abortion. West and her attorneys have repeatedly pushed for the surrogate to have decision-making authority over the baby, who has remained in his biological parents’ care. Days after birth, the baby underwent an intensive open heart surgery, the first of several he’ll need to survive. On Wednesday, West’s attorneys filed an emergency application asking the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene and to give West access to the baby. The Wednesday filing says that the request is coming after the Texas court on Sept. 2 dismissed the surrogate from the case.

Ryanair CEO disputes passenger window report LONDON — The CEO of Ryanair on Thursday disputed that a passenger injured during a flight on one of its planes in July was partly sucked out a window. Ljubisa Karovic injured his neck and shoulder and had friction burns after the window shattered shortly after takeoff on a ﬂight from northern Greece to Germany on July 10. Karovic’s wife and witnesses said the pressure drop caused his head and shoulders to be pulled out the window. His wife said she held onto his legs and other passengers helped pull him back in the jet. Airline chief Michael O’Leary acknowledged Karovic was injured and was entitled to compensation but not “millions and millions.” “He wasn’t partially out the window,” O’Leary said after the Irish budget airline’s annual general meeting in Dublin. “We don’t think any part of his body got out the window, but he was certainly sucked in very dramatic circumstances towards the window.” The window shattered after being struck by fragments from a broken fan blade in the Boeing 737-800’s right engine, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said in a preliminary report.

Several dead after bus overturns in Switzerland GENEVA — A Dutch tour bus overturned in eastern Switzerland in a serious accident that left several people dead and others injured, police said. The bus overturned between the villages of Susch and Zernez in the Alpine canton of Graubunden, authorities said. The police did not specify the number of dead and injured.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels take port city Capture raises threat to Red Sea shipping

BY AHMED AL-HAJ and FATMA KHALED Associated Press

ADEN, Yemen — The Iran-backed Houthi rebel group on Thursday took over Yemen’s port city of Mokha, an area vital to controlling shipping through the Red Sea, Houthi and Yemeni officials said. The takeover gives Iran another potential point of leverage in its war with the U.S., analysts said, if the Houthis use their presence in Mokha to ramp up threats or attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Mokha is about 50 miles from the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a waterway that connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden and through which about 12% of the world’s goods are typically shipped. The Bab el-Mandeb’s importance to global oil supplies has grown since shipping through the nearby Strait of Hormuz has been impeded by Iran during its war with the United States and Israel. The Houthis kept mostly to the sidelines when the Iran war began, but over the summer the rebels increased attacks against Yemen’s internationally recognized government and declared a blockade on Saudi Arabia, which supports it. While the Houthis have their own reasons for fighting the Saudis, the conflict also serves Iran’s interests by ramping up pressure on the Americanallied oil producer as Tehran seeks leverage against the U.S. The Houthis’ takeover of Mokha was confirmed to The Associated Press by Ahmed Baash, a commander with the National Resistance Forces allied with Yemen’s government, and Hazam alAssad, a member of the Houthis’ political bureau.

Advance threatens escalation of war

Mokha represents the Houthis’ biggest territorial gain since a truce was signed in 2022 to end a civil war that began more than a decade ago. A return to full-scale civil war would be devastating for the Yemeni people and potentially for world energy supplies. The Houthis have been at war with Yemen’s government since 2014, when the rebels swept down from their mountainous heartland and seized much of northern and central Yemen. Saudi Arabia entered the war the following year on behalf of the government. Residents of Mokha told AP that Houthi forces could be seen throughout the city Thursday. Mokha was long held by forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognized government.

Residents of Mokha flee to the south Three doctors told the AP they ﬂed a Mokha hospital after it was seized by the Houthis. The doctors spoke on condition of anonymity, citing fears for their safety. They said other residents were ﬂeeing south, toward the city of Aden, which is controlled by the Saudi-backed forces. The Houthis recently made advances in the western province of Taiz, where Mokha is located, according to Ahmed al-Mawazi, a trooper with the Yemeni armed forces, and Abdel Kader al-Sharabi, a member of the Saudi-backed forces supporting the Yemeni government. Both said the rebels had seized control of the al-Shaqira area in Taiz, an important supply route for Yemeni government forces in south Hodeida. The mountainous terrain around Taiz gives the Houthis a strategic area overlooking Yemen’s west coast, said Baraa Shiban, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London.

Hurricane knocks out a port in Hawaii, kills 2 By The Associated Press HONOLULU — Crews began repairing the only cargo port on one of Hawaii’s smallest main islands while power was being restored to another island Thursday, two days after Hurricane Lowell skirted along the state’s western edge. At least two deaths were linked to the storm. On the island of Kauai, intense wind and surging waves damaged oceanfront resorts, ripped apart roads and knocked out power, while on Lanai, a harbor that supplies much of the food and fuel to its 3,300 residents was inoperable and will take about two weeks to repair, state ofﬁcials said. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said the overall destruction to Hawaii’s infrastructure, businesses and homes may be comparable to that of Hurricane Iniki — a Category 4 storm that walloped Kauai in 1992 and caused $3 billion in damage. In Hawaii, ﬁrst responders on Kauai’s south end found the body of a 74-yearold man on Wednesday near the shoreline. Authorities believe his death was related to the storm surge, police said. Another man was killed

Iran and the U.S. are digging in for a protracted war, with little sign of a near-term ceasefire or return to normal Middle East energy flows even if hostilities remain at a low intensity. Tehran’s leaders are resolved to keep fighting despite mounting economic costs as CO ONFLICT they see the conIN THE T as an MIIDDLE flict existenEAST AST tial threat, Bloomberg reported, citing a senior Iranian official. The country has been able to rebuild its missile capabilities and will escalate strikes on U.S. and Gulf assets if Washington intensifies its own attacks, the official said. Top White House advisers including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have told President Donald Trump that the war could drag on through the remainder of his term, which runs until January 2029, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials. The conflict has entered a form of stalemate, with critical issues including control of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program still unresolved. While Trump has repeatedly said the purpose of the war is to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon, the International Atomic Energy Association hasn’t been able to verify the state or location of Iran’s inventory of nearbomb-grade uranium since June 2025, when Israel and the U.S. attacked the country’s sprawling nuclear facilities. The IAEA said Thursday it’s observed construction activity at Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain, a heavilyfortified site suspected of housing nuclear-related activities. Trump has referenced the site twice in

recent days, warning that the U.S. could target it with fresh strikes. The preparations for an extended confrontation contradict Trump’s latest comments that the war will end “immediately” after the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Those are being overshadowed by the conflict and consequent rise in energy prices. Brent crude oil reaching $105 a barrel on Thursday. The U.S. is trying to force Iran back to the negotiating table by blockading its ports and threatening countries that don’t do more to cut economic ties with the Islamic Republic. Iran “can’t hold out any longer” and is “desperate to try and affect the election,” Trump told reporters. Many diplomats in the region don’t share Trump’s optimism. Oman, with which Iran is negotiating a new route through the Strait of Hormuz, sees no sign that the U.S.’s economic campaign is making Iran more willing to do a deal, according to a diplomat familiar with the matter. Oman’s foreign ministry didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Brent has risen more than 9% this week due to an uptick in shipping attacks around the Strait of Hormuz. About a fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas passed through the strait before the war. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says its forces will hit 20 targets for every two struck by the U.S., the semiofficial Tasnim news agency reported on Wednesday. One U.S. warship had to evade an Iranian assault this week, drawing retaliatory American strikes on Iranian oil tankers. Tehran responded with attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan and several commercial vessels. Iran is signaling that the U.S. blockade on its Persian Gulf ports and increased sanctions pressure won’t constrain its ability to continue the fight, even with inflation rising to around 90% and the national currency slumping.

People walk past damage caused by Hurricane Lowell on Tuesday on Kauai’s south shore in Hawaii. on Oahu when a large tree fell on his tent Monday, the governor said. The man was homeless and living in a park, Green said. The Democratic governor on Wednesday asked President Donald Trump to issue a major disaster declaration to expedite federal help for Kauai and Maui counties. “We cannot wait for every damaged road, utility pole, harbor and public facility to be assigned a dollar value before asking the federal government to act,” Green said. Lowell knocked out power to many of Kauai’s 73,000 residents on Tuesday but electricity was

being restored, with the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative saying the following day that power was back on at three hospitals. At Lanai’s main harbor, the storm opened a sinkhole, damaged part of the pier and scattered containers in the water, according to the state’s Transportation Department. Planning was underway on other options to get supplies to the island, which sees only a few visitors. Billionaire Larry Ellison bought nearly all of the island in 2012 for about $300 million from the owner of agriculture and real estate company Castle & Cooke Inc.

La. death row inmate sues state Nitrogen gassing method called too cruel

BY JOHN SIMERMAN Staff writer

Todd Wessinger, the Louisiana death row inmate who appears closest to an execution date, has filed a lawsuit in Baton Rouge to prevent the state from killing him with nitrogen gas, arguing it’s unconstitutionally cruel. The lawsuit comes after a federal appeals court ruling last month that reinstated Wessinger’s death sentence for killing two co-workers at a Calendar’s restaurant in Baton Rouge, after a lower court found his attorneys failed him at his 1997 trial. Wessinger’s lawsuit, filed last Friday in the federal Middle District of Louisiana, cites a ruling in June by the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals barring the use of nitrogen gas in Alabama to kill double murderer Jeffery Lee. That decision effectively placed executions using nitrogen gas on hold in Alabama, which served as the model for Louisiana’s protocol. Alabama was the first to try nitrogen gas, using it for seven executions before the court freeze. Louisiana is the only other state to try it. They were among several states that turned to nitrogen gas after struggling to acquire drugs for a lethal cocktail. Oklahoma was the first to authorize its use. Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas followed. Louisiana lawmakers approved nitrogen gas as a death penalty method in 2024, along with the relegalizing the electric chair alongside lethal drugs. The state ended

lll

a 15-year hiatus in executions in March 2025 and used nitrogen gas for the first time on Jessie Hoffman, who was 18 when he kidnapped, raped and fatally shot Mary “Molly” Elliott in 1996 in St. Tammany Parish. Republican Attorney General Liz Murrill has sought to pick up the pace since then, though courts have refused to endorse any other Louisiana death warrants. Murrill in June praised the appeals court decision that set Wessinger a step closer. She said WednesWessinger day that she hadn’t yet read Wessinger’s lawsuit. “I assume it is yet another attempt to delay justice in this case and I expect it to fail,” Murrill said. Wessinger’s attorneys with the New Orleans-based Roderick and Solange MacArthur Justice Center point to the appeals court ruling in the Alabama case, as well as chilling accounts from all eight executions by nitrogen gas so far in Alabama and Louisiana. “Their record exposes nitrogen hypoxia as exactly what the Eighth Amendment forbids: the unnecessary and wanton infliction of terror, pain, and suffering,” the lawsuit states. The suit claims an intolerable risk of “prolonged conscious suffocation” involving excruciating “air hunger” as the method deprives the condemned of oxygen. The attorneys allege that all five men who were given autopsies after being executed by nitrogen gas — including Hoffman — showed signs of “flash pulmonary edema,” in which fluid rapidly fills the lungs. The last execution using nitrogen gas was last October in Alabama, when condemned inmate

Wayne Guzzardo, right, whose daughter, Stephanie Guzzardo, was shot and killed in 1995, listens as Sen. Caleb Kleinpeter, R-Port Allen, speaks during a committee meeting regarding House Bill 6 and methods of execution during the special legislative session focused on crime at the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge on Feb. 26, 2024. Anthony Boyd appeared to take longer to die than any others using the method. The Associated Press reported Boyd shaking and heaving for more than 15 minutes before the curtain closed. Wessinger’s attorneys argue that Louisiana’s protocol, which mirrors Alabama’s, fails to safeguard or mitigate the risks of unconstitutional agony. The U.S. Supreme Court has found a state’s method of execution is unconstitutional where a substantial risk of severe pain is demonstrated and an available alternative would signiﬁcantly reduce it. Wessinger’s attorneys argue that Louisiana has a viable alternative now: a single drug, pentobarbital, that is commonly used in veteri-

nary euthanasia. Louisiana’s own execution protocol allows for it, said Jim Craig, director of the Roderick & Solange MacArthur Justice Center. That’s part of what makes his argument different from Hoffman’s, said Craig. Hoffman had also argued in federal court that he should not be put to death via nitrogen gas, though his execution ultimately went forward. “The court in Mr. Hoffman’s case did not compare the risk of execution by nitrogen gas to a lethal dose of compounded pentobarbital, because it wasn’t asked to do that,” Craig said. The number of executions using nitrogen gas has also doubled, from four to eight, since Hoffman failed to convince the courts be-

fore he was killed while strapped to a table with an industrial mask over his face. Those executions added to mounting evidence of cruelty, Craig said. Hoffman’s body shook, his fingers twitched, and he appeared to pull at the arms of a table bolted to the floor of the execution chamber inside the sprawling Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. When the mask was removed several minutes later, Hoffman’s head was tilted back, his face frozen in a grimace. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to spell out its rationale for pausing Alabama’s execution of Lee by nitrogen gas, leaving uncertain the possible impact on Louisiana, which falls under the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. At the time, Murrill downplayed the potential impact on Louisiana’s use of nitrogen gas, while advocates for people on death row expressed hope it would turn a legal tide against the new method. In Louisiana, the choice of approved methods for an execution is left to the state corrections secretary. According to Friday’s lawsuit, state Corrections Secretary Gary Westcott confirmed in a deposition that the state is not looking to build an electric chair, and that he “would never choose electrocution as long as (he) is secretary.” A spokesperson for the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections declined to comment Wednesday, referring questions to Murrill’s office. Wessinger’s lawsuit was assigned to U.S. District Judge John deGravelles, the same judge who vacated his death sentence before the appeals court reinstated it. He was nominated to the federal bench by former President Barack Obama.

Man put to death for killing linked to ‘Hog Trail Murders’ in Fla. BY DAVID FISCHER Associated Press

STARKE, Fla. — A Florida man convicted in one of a series of suspected killings that became known as the “Hog Trail Murders” in the 1990s was put to death Thursday, becoming the state’s 15th person executed this year. Daniel Owen Conahan Jr., 72, was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. after receiving a three-drug lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke. He had been sentenced to die for the 1996 kidnapping and strangling of Richard Allen Montgomery, whose mutilated body was found in a wooded southwest Florida area where authorities found the remains of at least six people over a threeyear span. Conahan was already strapped to a gurney with an IV in his arm when the curtain to the death chamber went up at 6 p.m. A spiritual adviser was at his feet and prayed throughout the process. The team warden asked Conahan if he had any ﬁnal statement, and Conahan replied, “No sir.” The deadly drug cocktail began to ﬂow at 6:01 p.m. Conahan began to pant and then twitch briefly before going still. Several

minutes later, the warden shook Conahan and shouted his name but there was no response. A medic entered the death chamber at 6:11 p.m. to check for vitals, and Conahan was declared dead a minute later. Conahan died in the nation’s busiest death chamber. Florida has carried out more than half the 25 total executions in the U.S. so far this year under Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who leaves ofﬁce in January. Conahan was identiﬁed by authorities as a person of interest in the other deaths, but he was never charged. He argued the evidence against him in Montgomery’s death was circumstantial.

Bodies in hunting area Conahan was arrested in July 1996 after local and state law enforcement ofﬁcials spent more than two years investigating a series of homicides in which mutilated and decomposing bodies were discovered in a wooded area of Charlotte County, north of Fort Myers. As the number of bodies increased, so did media coverage. The deaths eventually were dubbed the “Hog Trail Murders” because of the swampy, wooded locations

where the bodies were found. The case has been featured many times over the past three decades on true-crime television shows, YouTube channels and podcasts. Hunters found the first body in February 1994, and at least ﬁve more were discovered over the next three years. While most of the remains were severely decomposed, investigators believed Montgomery was found within 24 hours of his death. Investigators eventually determined the killer was targeting homeless men.

micides, but a sheriff’s ofﬁce report about the investigation concluded that all of the victims discovered within a 10-mile radius were likely killed by the same person.

Joan Rodemann, the sister of a Hog Trail victim named William Melaragno, released a written statement saying that her family would celebrate Conahan’s death.

Similarities in cases Detectives started looking into Conahan in 1996 after a man in prison for stealing Conahan’s car claimed Conahan had lured him to a remote area and offered to pay him to pose for nude photos. The man said he drove off in the car after seeing a knife. Later, detectives learned about a case with similarities in Fort Myers, in which a victim claimed a man who offered cash for nude photos had tied him to a tree and attempted to strangle him. Conahan was arrested and charged with attempted murder, and several months later was also charged in Montgomery’s death. Conahan waived his right

The Southern Food & Beverage Museum in New Orleans, which showcased the regional culinary history and culture through exhibits and events, has closed.

Continued from page 1A context so that its stories, traditions and signiﬁcance can continue to be shared with future generations.” The museum’s closure is a setback for those who have been working for years to revitalize Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard, formerly Dryades Street, which at its peak in the mid-1900s was a racially mixed commercial district home to more than 200 businesses. Jiarra Rayford, president of the corridor’s merchant and business association, said SoFAB’s closure is “not a reﬂection of the health of our main street or our cultural district.”

From pop-up to Central City SoFAB was founded in 2004 by Elizabeth Williams, Matt Konigsmark and Gina Warner to celebrate the culture and history of regional food and drink. Williams is a regular contributor to The Times-Picayune. The museum’s ﬁrst exhibits were “pop-ups” in different locations around New Orleans, followed by a stint at the Riverwalk Marketplace shopping center. In late 2011, the museum’s operators purchased a 30,000-square-foot building on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard that had housed part of the historic Dryades Street Market more than a century earlier. The museum debuted at the site two years later after an extensive renovation. Financing for the $3.5 million project came from the Prudential Social Investments Fund and the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority. The move was an ambitious step up in size and scale that allowed SoFAB to augment exhibits with classes and special events. An on-site bar helped make the space a destination for parties, which became an important part of the museum’s revenue stream. In the dozen years since SoFAB’s opening in Central City, the space has featured exhibits exploring the cuisines of the Southern states. One display tells the story of Al Copeland, founder of Popeyes fried chicken chain, which debuted in St. Bernard Parish before going worldwide. The McKenzie’s bakery

The museum’s board is making plans for what to do with its exhibits, including one honoring Popeyes founder Al Copeland. neon sign and the old mahogany bar from Bruning’s restaurant are among the artifacts from New Orleansarea businesses that are on display or in use. An open kitchen in the space has been used by in-house restaurants and a cooking school. In 2011, exhibits like this caught the eye of Saveur magazine, which named SoFAB “one of the ﬁve great museums devoted to food.” Williams stepped down as the museum’s CEO in 2019, replaced by Brent Rosen, who handed the baton to Connie Jackson two years ago, following several challenging years during and after the pandemic, when several hurricanes jolted the south Louisiana economy. Reached by phone Thursday, Williams said, “I hope that the fact that SoFAB operated successfully for over 20 years shows that the public recognizes the cultural and historic importance of food and drink. And I hope that other organizations can begin to collect and display these objects that reﬂect the life of the people.”

can restaurant, shuttered in 2024. The collapse of an abandoned building that same year resulted in an empty lot in the boulevard’s 1400 block, which remains undeveloped. Big Sexy Neon, a custom sign shop, closed last year after a half-decade on the corridor. But bright spots remain, including Cafe Reconcile, a nonprofit restaurant and workforce training program that serves a weekday lunch business. Lagniappe Bakehouse, a two-year-old spot that has built a buzz around its creative baked goods; and Ecology Beer Creative, a brewery that serves locals and gets a boost from visitors staying nearby shortterm rentals. SoFAB is across the street from Martin Luther King Boulevard from the New Orleans Jazz & Blues Market, a revived version of a music venue that opened on the site in 2015 and had its own financial struggles. Under new management, the space is preparing to launch a second season of performances featuring local and national jazz artists. Rayford cited the planned graduate hub for Tulane’s School of Architecture and Built Environment and a new farmers market as signs of vitality on the street, which also welcomed an $80 million, 192-unit affordable housing complex two years ago. Neighborhood boosters were hoping then the new building would boost foot trafﬁc on the boulevard more than it has. “SoFAB’s closing is not a reflection of where we’re going,” Rayford said. “Next year is going to be great for Central City and the corridor.”

negotiated between two parties and subsequently reported to Kalshi, according to In Game. “Block trades can only be placed by ﬁnancial institutions, regulated insurance companies, investment funds, or people or organizations with more than $10 million in assets,” according to In Game. LSU did not place the ﬁve trades, Greenwell said. He said he could not speak to any arrangements between insurers and other third parties. At least one company, Game Point Capital, which offers insurance to college athletic departments and professional sports teams for coaches’ buyouts and bonus payments, has publicly announced it has used to Kalshi for millions of dollars worth of hedges, according to The New York Times. “LSU is not currently engaged with Game Point Capital on insuring incentive structures,” Greenwell said.

called an “event contract.” They’re typically advertised as “yes” or “no” wagers. The price and payout of a contract ﬂuctuates based on what traders are willing to pay based on a 0% to 100% chance of whether they think an event will occur. According to In Game, the insurance company’s private block trades on LSU were separate from the standard contracts regular users would buy. That means they would not affect the price or odds of the public, open-market contract. Prediction markets, which have risen to prominence in the past few years, are a source of fascination and controversy in the financial world. Kalshi and Polymarket say they have created a new class of asset that can help investors hedge financial positions and profit from market research, among other uses. They also argue their platforms provide useful data by aggregating what large masses of people think is going to happen. But some state regulators and other critics argue the prediction markets are essentially just gambling, particularly given that contracts on sporting events make up substantial part of their business. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Kalshi and other prediction markets like Polymarket allow participants to place wagers tied to the probable outcome of a realworld event. They can be on anything from sports games to whether Congress will pass a bill to what the Rotten Tomatoes score of a movie will be.

Kiffin’s bonuses — and LSU’s insurance for them — have generated buzz in the past week in the emerging field of prediction markets, where participants can place wagers tied to the outcomes of real-world events. In August, someone placed five trades on Kalshi that appear to mimic Kiffin’s bonuses, according to In Game, an outlet that covers prediction markets and sports betting. The contracts will pay out $837,500 if LSU makes it to the College Football Playoff, and that amount will increase with each round of the playoff LSU wins: $1,205,000, then $1,675,000, then $2,212,500. If LSU wins the national championship, the contracts will pay out $3 million, according to In Game. A Kalshi spokesperson told CBS Sports and The Athletic a third-party insurance company made the five trades, though the company did not specify which one. Kalshi did not respond to questions for this story. The five LSU-related bets were reported as block trades, which are privately

The museum was one of several nonproﬁt organizations, which, along with a handful of commercial establishments, moved to Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard in the 2000s and 2010s amid revitalization efforts that began in the 1990s. Despite pockets of success, the area still hasn’t reached an economic “tipping point,” with enough steady foot trafﬁc to sustain scores of businesses, some observers say.

To help manage the financial risk of that bonus, LSU has taken out insurance. “It has been a standard practice for LSU and other schools around the country for many years to insure coaching incentive structures,” said Zach Greenwell, a spokesperson for LSU athletics. “The choice to do so or not obviously depends on receiving a policy quote that is financially favorable to the institution. The entire football coaching staff’s incentive structures this year have been insured, including Coach Kiffin.” Greenwell declined to identify the insurance company that LSU is using.

Mo. poised to revert to former district map U.S. Supreme Court rejects Trump-backed congressional map

BY DAVID A. LIEB and LINDSAY WHITEHURST

Associated Press

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri is poised to hold its November election with congressional districts passed after the last census, after the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday again rejected a new map backed by President Donald Trump that Republicans hoped could help them win an additional seat in the pivotal midterms. The Supreme Court’s decision marked a defining moment in a pitched legal battle that has lasted nearly a year and caused confusion for voters. Citing the court’s latest action, Missouri’s chief election ofﬁcial directed local authorities to use U.S. House districts passed in 2022, as the state’s highest court had ordered. Trump wanted courts to allow the use of his preferred map, which lawmakers approved last year at his urging. The decision means Missouri could run the November general election with different U.S. House districts than were used in the August primary — an extremely rare situation that could switch the candidate choices for more than a million potential voters, or nearly 1 in 4 voters statewide, according to an Associated Press estimate. No Supreme Court justices publicly dissented from the brief order. It did not detail the court’s legal reasoning, as is typical in emergency appeals. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Keith Rose holds a sign opposed to new Missouri congressional districts supported by Secretary of State Denny Hoskins outside the Missouri Supreme Court in Jefferson City, Mo., on Thursday. from using anything other than the new districts. Missouri Supreme Court judges, while questioning a state attorney representing Hoskins, repeatedly pressed for Hoskins to send out guidance Thursday to use the 2022 version of the congressional districts. “We’re in a precarious situation,” Chief Justice W. Brent Powell said. Hoskins later released a statement acknowledging the Hoskins U.S. Supreme Court decision, saying “my Ofﬁce is directing local election authorities to use the 2022 congressional map.” The court then reconvened, ﬁnding Hoskins in contempt for violating its order not to use the Trumpbacked map but then quickly declaring that he had corrected the problem with his latest order to use the 2022 map. The court imposed no consequences on Hoskins.

Secretary of state’s actions

Significantly different districts

Earlier Thursday, Missouri’s top court convened a hearing on whether to hold Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins in contempt for not following its orders to use the districts passed after the last census. Hoskins had instead told local election authorities to use the new Trump-backed map, pointing to a competing order from a federal judge on Tuesday that forbade him

Outside the court, progressive activist Keith Rose stood in the rain protesting Hoskins’ legal maneuverings to try to use the Trump-backed map. Rose, who helped gather petition signatures to put the new map to a statewide vote, said he hopes the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Thursday ends the uncertainty. “We need some ﬁnality. We need to focus on the real issues that Mis-

sourians care about,” Rose said. Candidates who won Missouri’s August primary already have been certiﬁed for the November ballot according to the number of the district they won. But those districts could substantially change shape. The 5th Congressional District encompasses only the Kansas City area under the 2022 map that Republican lawmakers passed after the last census. Under the revised map backed by Trump, portions are shed to neighboring districts and the remainder is stretched into rural Republican areas. About 59% of the potential voters are new to the district under that version, according to an AP estimate. Some other states that have switched congressional districts after their primaries have redone their primary votes. Alabama held a new primary in August under revised districts when the U.S. Supreme Court allowed a change to occur after voting in the original May primary. In Missouri’s case, however, no court has suggested redoing the primary.

Battle began over a year ago Missouri’s battle over its congressional districts has spanned more than a year and spawned confusion over which districts will be in place for voters. It was the second Republican-led state, after Texas, to enact new districts after Trump urged Republicans last year to redraw House

Trump handed loss on mail voting Supreme Court to consider executive order BY NICHOLAS RICCARDI and LINDSAY WHITEHURST Associated Press

WASHINGTON — An appeals court on Thursday upheld a block on President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting mail voting, a decision that comes as the Supreme Court considers the same case and states have already started sending out ballots for the high-stakes midterm elections. The three-judge panel refused to lift a preliminary injunction against the order issued last week by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani. It prohibits the U.S. Postal Service from implementing Trump’s directive. The Postal Service has said

it would not deliver ballots from states that did not preclear their envelope design with the federal government and submit a list of voters to an online portal, which has yet to be activated. Election ofﬁcials warn that it’s impossible to comply with those terms, especially with the ﬁrst mail ballots already being sent out in Alabama, North Carolina and Wisconsin. The panel of three judges nominated by former President Joe Biden agreed with the plaintiffs that the president does not have the power to regulate states’ election policy. “Appellants have not made a strong showing that the district court erred in determining that the Final Rule is likely unlawful,” they wrote, a reference to a rule published by the Postal Service to implement Trump’s order. The panel wrote that the

Trump administration had done little to dispel arguments by many election ofﬁcials that the changes would bring “chaos and widespread disenfranchisement.” “Indeed, appellants have not even seriously challenged this aspect of the district court’s ruling, much less demonstrated why it is clearly erroneous,” the order states. The government also hasn’t shown evidence of past fraud to justify the restrictions, the judges said. The panel’s decision comes even as the Supreme Court is already considering the same case, which is part of a frenzied legal rush as states are beginning to send out mail ballots for this fall’s midterm elections. Democrats and civil rights groups in a separate lawsuit in Washington, D.C., also are trying to halt the executive order.

districts to their advantage ahead of the midterm elections. The revised districts target a Kansas City-based seat held by Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Kansas City, aiming to help Republicans win seven of the state’s eight House seats in the midterm elections. Redistricting opponents collected hundreds of thousands of petition signatures seeking to force a statewide vote on the new districts. They submitted the signatures in December. But Hoskins waited until August — on the same day as Missouri’s primary — to reject the petition. Hoskins asserted that a referendum petition could not be used for congressional redistricting. The delay allowed Missouri to use the new districts in its August primary. Cleaver was unopposed for the Democratic nomination. State Sen. Rick Brattin won the Republican primary for the right to challenge Cleaver. Brattin was among those suing in federal court to try to prevent the state from reverting to the prior districts. Republican U.S. Rep. Bob Onder, who was also among those suing, said Thursday: “This isn’t over.” He noted that the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments on the merits of his case. Republican state officials have argued that it would violate voters’ federal rights to switch districts before the general election. But the Missouri Supreme Court last week ordered Hoskins to put the redistricting referendum on the November ballot, which he did. It also ruled that the new districts never became law and instead were suspended retroactively to the December petition submission. The court barred Hoskins from using the new map and said the old map — passed by Republican lawmakers in 2022 after the last census — must be used in the November election. The state then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to block the state court decision. Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected the request. The group People Not Politicians Missouri, which sponsored the redistricting referendum, applauded the Supreme Court decisions that left the state court ruling in place. Whitehurst reported from Washington. Associated Press journalist Hannah Recht in Washington contributed.

Governor defeated in R.I. primary BY KIMBERLEE KRUESI Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Helena Foulkes defeated Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee in the state’s Democratic primary Wednesday, making him the first governor in any U.S. state to lose a party primary since 2018. McKee’s defeat ends his bid for a second full term and marks the first time in more than 30 years that a sitting Rhode Island governor has been beaten in a primary. Foulkes, a former senior executive at CVS and the retailer Hudson’s Bay, wasn’t the only challenger to oust an incumbent Wednesday. The mayor of Providence lost to David Morales, a young democratic socialist endorsed by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders. For Foulkes, the win was a redemptive rebound from 2022, when she narrowly lost to McKee in a more crowded primary field — on a night when the governor notably refused to take her concession call. In their rematch, McKee was dogged by questions about his administration’s work to replace a critical bridge in the state capital that was abruptly closed due to safety problems in 2023. Foulkes leveraged public exasperation over the cost and pace of the bridge project for her argument that McKee’s administration isn’t working for most Rhode Islanders. In 2023, McKee closed the Washington Bridge, a vital link that carries Interstate 195 over the Seekonk River and connects Providence to its eastern suburbs and the south coast of Massachusetts. State transportation officials had flagged a “critical failure” in an older part of the bridge, but demolishing and replacing it has taken longer than the governor initially estimated.

Smithsonian marks 9/11 with artifact display BY STEVEN SLOAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Seat belts and a ﬂight attendant call button from the doomed United Airlines Flight 93. A purse ﬁlled with keys and a wallet recovered from the World Trade Center site. The telephone that sat on U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson’s desk when his wife, Barbara, called from a hijacked airplane. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is honoring the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks this week with displays of dozens of rarely seen objects that tell the story of that day in often searingly personal terms. The exhibit, which runs through Saturday, comes as the museum is under growing scrutiny by President Donald Trump and Repub-

licans in Congress over the manner in which it tells American history. The Smithsonian began collecting items just months after the attacks and regularly displays some of them throughout the sprawling museum along the National Mall. But this week’s exhibit is unique as the items are displayed on tables, rather than seen through glass. The museum’s director, Anthea Hartig, said some of the items being shown this week are “so fragile they’ll probably never go on display.” The goal, she said, is to help visitors “both never forget, but also kind of reconnect” as a new generation emerges that didn’t experience the attacks. “This has truly slipped into history rather than being part of our memory landscape,” she said.

A badly damaged flag recovered from the World Trade Center debris is displayed Thursday at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, the nation’s official repository for Sept. 11 materials. Some of the items, including a beeper belonging to an employee who worked on the 97th floor of the South Tower, harken back to office life at the turn of the

century. A candy dispenser from the Pentagon includes melted chocolate. The museum has faced conservative criticism since the White House released

a report on Independence Day branding the museum’s leadership as radical activists. Hartig faced two days of congressional hearings in July, where Republicans argued the museum should present a more unifying version of American history, prompting concern from historians that lawmakers and the White House were more interested in revisionism than accurate history. Trump later ordered his administration to install signs in front of the museum telling visitors that some of the exhibits are inaccurate. More than a month later, such signs have not been installed. In an interview, Hartig said the scrutiny didn’t inﬂuence how the Sept. 11 exhibit came together. “This museum exists as a repository, as a place of memory,” she said. “And so

the current political moment is like many other political moments that we document. There’s different opinions and contestation over how we do our work.” More change could be ahead after Lonnie Bunch announced his plans to step down as the leader of the Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian operates outside the executive branch and Bunch’s successor will be chosen by a Board of Regents that includes Vice President JD Vance, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, a bipartisan group of lawmakers and socalled citizen regents. Hartig acknowledged that “leadership transitions are always complicated.” But, she said, “I wake up every day confident in Americans’ ability to embrace the complexities of their past.”

Poll: Sept. 11 overshadows other events of past 25 years BY LINLEY SANDERS and JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Twenty-five years later, the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, are still remembered as among the most important historic events in many Americans’ lives, according to a new poll. A new Ipsos poll finds that about half of U.S. adults name the 9/11 attacks in an open-ended question about the most important historic occurrences in their lifetimes. That’s despite other momentous events that have happened since then, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the elections of Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. The polling points to the enduring legacy of 9/11, even as many Americans today are too young to have experienced or comprehended the event a quarter century ago. Ipsos found that the vast majority of Americans remember where they were when they heard about the attacks, and about twothirds of Americans say it impacted the country “a great deal.” Separate polling from Gallup finds about 3 in 10 U.S. adults say they permanently changed the way they live their lives because of the attacks. Despite the widespread impact, the Ipsos poll finds relatively few Americans will be marking the anniversary in some way. Only about 1 in 10 U.S. adults plans to do something to commemorate Friday’s 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Trump’s $5,000 payout plan gets ENROLLMENT chilly reception from economists Continued from page 1A

Enrollment declines

BY BILL BARROW, LISA MASCARO and JOSH BOAK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s pitch to send Americans $5,000 checks should Republicans prevail in the November midterms is drawing scorn from some members of Congress — the very people who have constitutional authority over federal spending. Economists and other political observers are voicing concerns about the potential effects on inflation and the national balance sheet. Taken together, it’s a swift reaction that makes clear that Trump’s dubious election-year gambit is likely little more than another grand promise from a politician with a long history of them. “Donald Trump is a known liar. This is the biggest liar to ever serve in government. Period,” said Rep. Robert Garcia, a California Democrat who was in Dallas on Thursday as part of his party’s effort to counter Republicans’ midterm convention. “The dividend is not happening.” Trump previously pledged to use savings from the Department of Government Efficiency and revenue from tariffs on foreign imports to distribute payments of $2,000 or more, but none of that came to pass. His latest idea comes as the U.S. economy is reckoning with persistent inflation and rising interest rates, two forces that have politically undermined Republicans after previously helping them reclaim power from Democrats. Trump claimed the payments would be possible because of the economy’s strength, yet consumer

sentiment is weak as gasoline prices are increasing because of the war with Iran and wages are struggling to keep pace with inflation. Trump told CBS News Texas in an interview that he doesn’t believe Congress would need to approve his planned payments, though he did not specify how he could spend more than $1 trillion without Congress. “Well, we think not,” Trump said about congressional approval. “I think they will do it if we needed it. But we think not.” A few of Trump’s allies embraced the idea, including Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, who said he would prepare legislation for the payments. Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg, the Republican chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, said “it was the first I heard of it last night” but called it good economic policy. “If it can be done, the American taxpayer deserves the benefit of having more in their pocket than the government,” Walberg said ahead of a brief session in the Capitol on Thursday. But critics accused him of trying to buy votes at a time when Republicans are trying to maintain slim majorities in Congress. Rep. Ted Lieu, vice chairman of the House Democratic caucus, outright mocked the president. “If Democrats flip the House and Senate everyone will get a $10,000 dividend, and a pony, and free ice cream for life,” he posted on social media. The president’s proposal, unveiled in his nearly two-hour speech Wednesday night in Dallas, would carry a price tag exceeding $1.3 trillion if Congress were to authorize $5,000

payments to the nation’s 270 million adults. The Treasury already is running a current annual deficit approaching $1.8 trillion, and the total national debt topped $40 trillion this year. According to Treasury Department data, that interest expense for fiscal year 2026 will come to about $1.27 trillion, similar to the projected cost of Trump’s idea. Economists raised concerns about inflationary effects from such a large infusion of cash into the economy. Michael Strain, director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, a center-right think tank, said Trump would be repeating the same policy mistake as his predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden. As part of his 2021 pandemic relief package, Biden provided $1,400 payments to most Americans, which Strain had warned at the time would spark inflation. “But Mr. Trump’s proposal would be worse than the Biden stimulus in the sense that in 2026 the economy already has an inflation problem,” Strain said, while Biden’s policy was intended to shore up an economy disrupted by COVID-19. “Trump would be pouring gasoline on lit inflationary embers and hoping it wouldn’t ignite,” Strain said. At the center-left Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, senior policy director Marc Goldwein agreed with the comparison to Biden’s policy and emphasized the potential impact on the deficit. “The idea that we’ve had fiscal success is backwards and bordering on laughable,” he said. “We don’t have surpluses to give away.”

Convention honors Kirk 1 year after his killing BY JONATHAN J. COOPER Associated Press

Chants of “Charlie, Charlie” broke out on the second night of President Donald Trump’s midterm convention as Republicans paid tribute Thursday to Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA leader who was assassinated one year ago. The normally festive and rowdy crowd inside the basketball arena in Dallas quickly hushed as a fiveminute memorial video began playing. It was a somber interlude in the convention’s parade of candidates. “One year later, there is something wonderfully deﬁant about the fact that his voice has not grown qui-

eter,” said Lucas Miles, a pastor and Turning Point vice president. He said the organization’s membership and social media following have “multiplied.” Kirk was a singular ﬁgure on the right. He created a sprawling network of chapters on college campuses, hosted an inﬂuential podcast and built a loyal following among young Christian conservatives. He was also a powerbroker on the right with relationships across various factions that comprise Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement. Kirk was shot and killed Sept. 10, 2025, while speaking on the campus of Utah Valley University.

Tyler Robinson, 23, could face the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder in Kirk’s death. He has pleaded not guilty. No one has emerged to fully ﬁll Kirk’s shoes since his death, and the movement he built has been rattled by inﬁghting over the circumstances of his death. A vocal contingent, led by prominent podcaster Candace Owens, has questioned the official narrative of Utah prosecutors who say Robinson was the lone killer. Conspiracy theories have proliferated online. Miles seemed to address the tension from the stage. “Turning Point is not dead,” he said. “The organization Charlie founded is still grow-

ing. A new generation is stepping forward.” Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, was named CEO of Turning Point and has taken on some of his public speaking roles. Turning Point has also enlisted other commentators to speak at events and continue the public debates he enjoyed staging.

For the better part of the last decade, enrollment at UNO steadily declined. When Weiland became interim chancellor earlier this year, she set a goal of 6,000 students for this fall, which she said would generate enough revenue to cover building maintenance costs. With 5,531 students registered as of Sept. 3, enrollment fell short of the target. Weiland said the decline was partly due to the loss of about 150 students from Slidell High School who stopped participating in the university’s dual-enrollment program. This year, LSUNO doubled its dual-enrollment fees from $150 to $300 per course to match LSU’s prices. At the same time, LSUNO recruited 288 more new students — including ﬁrst-time freshmen, transfer students and graduate students, Weiland said. A university spokesperson said the school ran a recruitment campaign that featured “more positive” messaging and tapped into excitement around joining LSU. University officials have also added programs to bolster campus life, including a recent lakefront event featuring live music and food trucks. Still, the university continued to lose some of its current students. One reason some students don’t make it to graduation is that they were underprepared for college, said Tumulesh Solanky, a math professor who has spent more than three decades at the university. A decade ago, the majority of UNO’s students came from top-performing high schools, but now many come from lower-performing schools, he said. Students who are unprepared for rigorous coursework often struggle in college and end up leaving. Weiland has implemented several measures aimed at improving retention rates. The faculty senate is help-

ing reorder courses so that first-year students aren’t placed in classes that are too advanced. University ofﬁcials found that 79% of students who earned a passing grade returned for a second year, versus only 44% who did not. Weiland said the university will also try to recruit from higher-ranked high schools and expand access to a ﬁveday “boot camp” to make sure incoming freshmen have a strong academic foundation. “We haven’t been recruiting the right students that are prepared for a four-year R2 research institution,” Weiland said.

‘Financially stabilized’ Despite missing the target enrollment, Weiland said the university will bring in more revenue than last year because of a 6% tuition increase and the dual-enrollment price hike. The university is in the process of hiring nine professors, she said. It also will reverse its cost savings measure of consolidating its four colleges into two by next school year. The school has also grown its savings, said Weiland, who recently told the faculty senate that she begins each day by checking the university’s cash position. The school now has $15 million in reserves, or about 30 days of cash on hand. “Not ideal,” she said, “but we’re ﬁnancially stabilized.”

Clancy’s lawyer asks judge to spare her a second trial for killing her children BY LEAH WILLINGHAM and MICHAEL CASEY Associated Press

BOSTON — Lindsay Clancy shouldn’t be tried a second time for killing her three young children because prosecutors don’t have enough evidence, her lawyer told a judge Thursday, saying the court should decide she’s not guilty by reason of insanity. Eleven of 12 jurors were ready to clear Clancy of criminal responsibility last Friday, but their deadlock forced the judge to declare a mistrial, leaving the case unreClancy solved. Attorney Kevin Reddington’s motion asked the same judge to acquit Clancy, which would prevent a second trial. Prosecutors have yet to say whether they’ll seek to put the 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse on trial again, and Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz did not respond to a phone message Thursday seeking comment. Neither side disputed that Clancy strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan Clancy in the family’s home in 2023 before trying to end her own life. But her attorney said she was a loving mother in the grip of a rare condition called postpartum psychosis, while prosecutors argued she knew what she was doing.

The trial generated intense interest for weeks, drawing attention to maternal mental health after childbirth. Under Massachusetts law, prosecutors had to prove either that Clancy did not have a mental disease or defect or that, despite having one, she retained the substantial capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions or conform her conduct to the law. Reddington argued in Thursday’s court ﬁling that prosecutors proved neither, and asked Judge William Sullivan to consider the motion at a court conference scheduled for Sept. 29. The defense attorney said none of the psychiatric experts, either called by the prosecution or defense, disputed that Clancy was suffering from a mental illness. “The testimony bears on which illness she had, not on whether she had one,” he wrote. Prosecutors pointed to

Clancy’s actions in the weeks, days and hours leading up to the killings — driving, planning a child’s birthday party, bringing her daughter to a doctor’s appointment — and her ability to perform other everyday tasks as evidence she was of sound mind when the killings took place. “Competence at routine tasks,” Reddington argued Thursday, “during a crisis which every witness agreed was acute, is not proof of criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt.” The judge acknowledged during jury deliberations that the trial had been emotionally and physically exhausting for everyone. Much of the testimony was excruciating to hear. Clancy remains paralyzed from the waist down after jumping from the home’s second story, and is expected to stay at a psychiatric hospital until her case is resolved.

Lower 9th Ward resident and Hurricane Katrina survivor Robert Green Sr. walks down the stairs of his home before First Baptist Church of Covington’s Home Services Outreach workers replace the steps on Thursday.

A STEP FORWARD First Baptist Church of Covington's Home Services Outreach workers spent the day in New Orleans’ 9th Ward neighborhood, replacing the rotted front steps of Hurricane Katrina survivor Robert Green Sr.'s Make It Right Foundation home. Volunteers tore out the old wood and rebuilt the steps from scratch to make it safer for Green to come and go from his home.

Funeral services for longtime New Orleans civil rights activist Jerome “Big Duck” Smith will begin Friday evening with a visitation at Gallier Hall that starts at 4 p.m., followed by a Celebration of Life ceremony Saturday morning, his family has conﬁrmed. On Saturday, a second visitation will begin at 8 a.m., with funeral services set to begin at 10 a.m. at Smith the 2,000-seat Mahalia Jackson Theater for Performing Arts. Smith, who participated in picket lines, sit-ins and Freedom Rides during the Civil Rights Movement, is best known in New Orleans as the co-founder of the youth organization Tamborine & Fan. He died Aug. 21 after a battle with cancer. He was 87. Through his organization, Smith inﬂuenced generations of New Orleans children, teaching them the importance of their own culture, music, history and tradition.

Moreno administration holds budget town hall District D residents voice area’s needs

Residents at a community meeting in Gentilly on Tuesday said they want support for small-business owners, stable water bills and smooth roads as New Orleans ofﬁcials weigh more cuts and revenue-boosting measures to balance the 2027 budget. Dozens of residents assembled at Beacon Light International Baptist Cathedral on Wednesday for the second day of budget town halls the Moreno administration will hold this month in each council district.

In addressing major potholes like the one in Bynum’s case, Moreno added that crews from Sewerage & Water Board and the Department of Public Works will begin working together on projects regularly under a new agreement her administration will draft. “You don’t deserve to have this big hole in front of your house for this long because crews can’t ﬁgure out who’s supposed to be there,” she said.

Small-business owner and infrastructure contractor Derrick Vernado said his set-aside contract with the city was canceled because of the budget crisis. That essentially froze his company for a year because his bonding capacity, which is required to bid on other projects, had been committed to the city. New Orleans’ Set-Aside program devotes 25% of city contracts to certiﬁed Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, leveling the playing ﬁeld by allowing DBEs to bid among themselves. “How do we avoid this bonding capacity situation occurring again, where our company is completely paralyzed for a year, waiting on the city,” Vernado said. The administration’s budget proposal is due on Oct. 1. Email Joni Hess at joni.hess@ theadvocate.com.

Sheriff: Suspect booked in shooting at Metairie bar Man fatally wounded in altercation BY MICHELLE HUNTER Staff writer

Three days after a 28-year-old man was fatally wounded in a shooting at a Metairie bar, Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Ofﬁce detectives have arrested a suspect in the case. Iverson Aranda, 25, of Terry-

town, was booked Wednesday with second-degree murder, according to Sgt. Brandon Veal, spokesperson for the department. The shooting was reported about 6:10 a.m. Sunday at a bar in the 2500 block of North Woodlawn Avenue in Metairie, Veal said. Deputies dispatched to the scene found the victim, a man from unincorporated Gretna, suffering from at least one gunshot wound inside a vehicle at the intersection of Wood-

2 arrested in N.O. child sex trafficking operation Case may have additional victims, suspects BY MISSY WILKINSON Staff writer

After making two arrests in a child sex trafficking operation spanning Louisiana and Mississippi, New Orleans police said Wednesday they believe there may be additional survivors and perpetrators. Renee Schulze, 28, was booked in Harrison County, Mississippi, and transferred to Orleans Justice Center on July 31 on suspicion of contributing to the delinquency of juveniles and trafficking of children for sex purposes. She faces similar charges in Mississippi. Marcus J. Davis, 22, was arrested in the 2000 block of Lamanche Street on Aug. 14 on a count each of human sex trafficking, third-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping. He also had outstanding warrants for domestic violence and possession of a stolen firearm. Schulze and Davis allegedly worked together to target victims, including juveniles around Uptown, in New Orleans East and in

S&WB

Continued from page 1B Responding to a suggestion by District E City Council member Jason Hughes, Hayman also said the S&WB would appoint customer service representatives for each council district. S&WB General Superintendent Kaitlin Tymrak said staff are being trained to improve how they take calls and route problems to the appropriate departments. Tymrak said a response time within 48 hours is “absolutely our intent.” “That is something we are already working on,” Tymrak said. The S&WB ofﬁcials’ assurances did little to satisfy council members, who said the problems with customer service communications go far beyond a single incident. “We have the challenge of people who make requests and get no response whatsoever,” said District D council member Eugene Green, who represents the Lake Terrace neighborhood where the tree collapsed. Council Vice President Matt Willard said he had cataloged his emails to the S&WB on behalf of constituents and found that 1 in 5 emails never garnered a response. When S&WB staffers do respond to Willard’s ofﬁce, he said it takes

Mississippi. Officials declined to disclose the exact number of survivors or details about how they were allegedly trafficked. The investigation into Schulze and Davis has been ongoing since last year, officials said. “These individuals prey on vulnerable persons in our community, and they use their vulnerabilities against them, then become both verbally and physically abusive to coerce these people into sex trafficking,” said deputy superintendent Nicholas Gernon, who oversees investigations. “It’s truly horrendous.” NOPD worked with HSI, the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office, Crimestoppers of Greater New Orleans, anti-trafficking organization Unbound Now and Eden Centers, a facility for survivors of trafficking. “If there’s anyone that is still out there, we want to encourage you to come forward,” said Jennifer Best, CEO of Eden Centers. “There is hope on the other side.” Survivors may contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at (800) 843-5678, Eden Centers at (504) 407-0943, Unbound Now at (504) 285-9865 or Crimestoppers at (504) 8221111.

an average of seven days and the responses have no sender information. “We don’t know who we’re talking to. If we want to call and follow up, we don’t know who to ask for,” Willard said. Residents on Killdeer Street told S&WB about the leak in May, and again in early August, according to an S&WB timeline. S&WB crews excavated the site on Aug. 19 and 20, discovering the damaged water pipe was tangled in the tree roots, making it impossible to repair right away. After that, the leak worsened and homeowners called repeatedly to report the tree, but there was no response. The tree finally collapsed on Sept. 1, and residents were left with a sinkhole more than 10 feet deep and 40 feet wide. Green said water leaks are evident around trees throughout lakefront neighborhoods. “Killdeer is one example of an issue that exists in many places,” Green said. Council President JP Morrell said a water leak is flowing around a live oak on Beryl Street, raising concerns among residents that it could collapse like the one on Killdeer. “There is an ocean flowing from under the tree,” Morrell said. “You have a family that is terrified and frustrated because they literally saw what happened at Killdeer.”

Another suspect, Frank Johnson, 28, of Metairie, was arrested Sunday in connection with the investigation, according to authorities. Johnson was booked with seconddegree battery, obstruction of justice, illegal use of a weapon and illegal possession of a stolen ﬁrearm, according to court records.

The Sheriff’s Ofﬁce did not release any information about Johnson’s alleged ties to the shooting. Both men were being held Thursday at the Gretna jail. Aranda’s bail was set at $500,000. Johnson paid an $80,500 bail on his charges, but he was still being held as a fugitive from another jurisdiction, jail records said.

After the conclusion of Saturday’s service, the Roots of Music youth band will lead a second-line in Smith’s honor. That will begin at the Mahalia Jackson Theater’s Villere Street entrance, turn onto Esplanade Avenue, then Claiborne Avenue and make a stop at Hunter Field. It will then move back to Esplanade, then on to St. Louis Cem-

etery No. 3, where Smith will be interred. The second-line will return to Hunter’s Field where the community will gather to celebrate Smith’s life Saturday afternoon. Livestreams of Friday’s visitation and Saturday’s service will be available on Tamborine & Fan’s Instagram page, Farin Smith said. On Friday, street parking will be restricted around Gallier Hall during the visitation, the New Orleans Police Department has advised.

MUSES

The Krewe of Muses parade rolls on Magazine Street in New Orleans on Feb. 12. The krewe has turned over the reins to longtime member Dionne Randolph, according to an announcement by the organization.

Continued from page 1B what appeared between the ﬂoats. Both the bands and the new, ironic, adult dance troupes and marching clubs — such as the Pussyfooters, the 610 Stompers and Rolling Elvi — became an important part of Carnival. As time went on, Randolph’s responsibilities grew. “My scope steadily creeped and creeped upward,” she said. There came a time when she considered giving herself a break and leaving her role as a parade co-producer. Instead, she’s become the “manager of the madness.” In Randoph’s view, what Muses represents is the rise of feminism in Carnival. “I love seeing all of this women power in Mardi Gras,”

CHANGES

Continued from page 1B who works in human resources. “Please don’t change the rules this late in the game, after employees have spent years and years and years playing by them.” The changes are likely a ways off, if they happen at all. Administration officials said they haven’t finalized the proposals and aren’t in a rush to do so. Any changes to the policies would require favorable votes by the Civil Service Commission and City Council. “I want to be very clear that we do not view this as etched in stone,” said Chief Administrative Officer Joe Giarrusso, addressing commission members. “We want to make sure that we have a good conversation.” Giarrusso and Chief Innovation Officer Jon Wisbey cast the moves as necessary corrections to policies that have long been out of step with other municipalities and have strained the city budget.

last year. The report noted that nearly half that amount was paid to just 18 employees, including one who was paid $450,000. Terminal leave for most of the 378 retiring employees was less than $50,000 according to the report. The current proposal would eliminate bonus sick and annual leave days, which employees earn with years of service. After 20 years, for example, employees earn 12 additional vacation days and seven additional sick days. “Taking away someone’s bonus days that amount to almost a month of time for the most tenured employees — catastrophic to morale,” said New Orleans Police Department Capt. Rebecca Gubert. The bonus cuts are the only proposals that would affect existing employees, and received some of the strongest objections on Wednesday. Wisbey said after the meeting he expected those proposals would be revised, though he wouldn’t speculate as to exactly how. “It’s very unlikely you’re going to see those proposals in their exact form the next time we present this,” Wisbey said. Other proposals would only affect employees hired after Dec. 31. They include limiting the value of

terminal sick days to 20% of an employee’s hourly rate, as well as new limits on carryover sick and annual leave days. Recruiting directors and union leaders warned these measures will make it harder to hire and retain workers. “We know our mechanics make less. We know our clerical workers make less. That’s a deal that they make,” said Janick Lewis, an EMS recruitment academy coordinator. “They walk in knowing that because at least on the back end you have beneﬁts such as our leave policy.”

U.S. home sales at slowest pace in a year

Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes declined in August to their slowest annual pace in more than a year as home shoppers grappled with rising mortgage rates and home prices. Existing home sales fell 2% last month from July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.98 million units, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. This is the third straight monthly decline. Sales also fell 1.2% compared with August last year. The latest sales tally is just shy of the 4 million pace economists were expecting, according to FactSet. “It’s not a surprise home sales and mortgage rates move in the opposite direction and we have seen mortgage rates rising, rising, rising from February,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. Home sales have been mostly hovering close to a 4-million annual pace going back to 2023, far short of the historic norm that is closer to 5.2-million. The last time the annual sales pace came in below 4 million was June 2025. Despite the latest pullback, existing U.S. home sales are running 1.6% higher through the first eight months of this year than they were in the same stretch of 2025, NAR said. The housing market has been stymied in large part by rising borrowing costs, as mortgage rates have marched higher in the months since the war between the U.S. and Iran started in late February. 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, driving mortgage rates higher. The average rate on the benchmark 30-year mortgage hit 6.76% this week, its highest level in more than 14 months. It brieﬂy dipped below 6% before the war started. Yun noted that rate could soon reach 7%, given that mortgage rates tend to follow moves in the 10-year Treasury yield, which is at levels not seen since late 2023. The yield was at 4.92% on the bond market as of Thursday morning. Even as sales slowed, home prices continued to rise nationally last month. The U.S. median sales price increased 1.6% in August from a year earlier to $429,100, an all-time high for the month of August based on data going back to 1999, NAR said. Home prices have risen on an annual basis for 38 months in a row. The sales slowdown is leading to unsold properties sitting on the market longer, helping boost the number of available homes.

NHTSA opens probe into coolant intrusion

U.S. regulators have opened an investigation into a single petition concerning the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine in a 2017 Ford Edge, alleging coolant intrusion into the motor resulted in a significant loss of power. The Office of Defects Investigation has opened the case on whether to grant or deny the petition for a more thorough probe into the matter. If the agency were to do so and find a defect that creates a safety risk, a recall could be ordered. The agency identified model years 2015-18 Ford Edge vehicles as a part of its investigation. The petition from Sean Johnson of Cedar Hills, Utah, details an incident in June in which his 2017 Edge displayed an "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" warning, lost engine power and had pink coolant fluid "gushing" from the reservoir. The petitioner stopped in the travel lane, creating a safety risk, he wrote, because the road had no shoulder. After a service stop that was unable to duplicate the overheating, a P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire code appeared after more use. A few days later, a check engine code appeared, and the engine shook when the vehicle was turned on.

Oil prices drag Wall Street lower

Stocks sank under the weight of for a gallon of regular gasoline to Following Thursday’s reports, Costs soar to highest rising oil prices. Brent crude, the an average of nearly $4.28 across traders see a roughly 73% chance international standard, climbed the United States, according to the Fed will raise the federal funds levels since May another 6.3% and brieﬂy topped AAA. That’s up nearly 34% from a rate at its meeting next week.

BY STAN CHOE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Oil prices keep climbing as the war with Iran keeps clogging the global ﬂow of crude, and they leaped Thursday to their highest levels since before the summer. That worsened worries about inflation and cranked up pressure within the bond market, helping to send stocks lower again on Wall Street.

$108 per barrel for the ﬁrst time since May before settling at $107.63. It’s jumped from less than $72 in early July as hopes fade that the war with Iran will allow oil to ﬂow freely again from the Middle East anytime soon. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that oil prices likely won’t come down until after the U.S. midterm elections in November. The jump has vaulted the price

year earlier and is not only costing people more at the pump but also through higher prices for all kinds of products that move by truck to store shelves. A report on Thursday suggested the U.S. job market may remain solid, with fewer workers applying for unemployment benefits last week. That could give the Fed more conﬁdence that the economy could withstand higher interest rates.

That’s up from the 61% probability seen the day before, according to data from CME Group. That’s also despite Trump’s consistent lobbying for interest rates to go lower rather than higher. The Fed’s counterpart in Europe, the European Central Bank, raised its own interest rates on Thursday in hopes of getting inflation in check. It cited “the conﬂict in the Middle East” and how it “continues to generate inﬂation pressures.”

U.S. wholesale prices rise in latest sign of stubborn inflation BY CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP economics writer

WASHINGTON — Wholesale inflation picked up last month after cooling earlier this summer as higher oil and gas prices stemming from the Iran war keep costs elevated. The Labor Department’s producer price index — which captures inflation before it reaches consumers — rose 5.4% in August from a year ago, up from 4.8% in July, the government said Thursday. Annual wholesale inflation peaked this year at 5.9% in May after the Iran conflict raised energy costs. On a monthly basis, wholesale prices increased 0.4% from July to August, after a 0.1% increase the previous month. Inflation has shown some signs of easing in recent months but is still high, frustrating consumers who are struggling with more expensive gas, groceries, clothing and other essentials. U.S. oil prices topped $100 a barrel Thursday on renewed fighting in the Middle East, while President Donald Trump has intensified a trade war with Canada, a sign tariffs still could push up costs. Rising prices pose a political problem for the Trump administration and Republicans run-

ning in the midterm elections. In a striking acknowledgment Wednesday, Trump said that oil prices likely won’t come down until after U.S. midterm elections, but added that prices will fall immediately after Nov. 3. “Right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward,” Trump said. “I think it’s going to take a little bit longer than the midterm.” The cost for a regular gallon of gasoline has soared 44% since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in late February, according to data from the AAA. Diesel, which is used in manufacturing, shipping and transportation, and can have an outsized role in producer and consumer prices, has rocketed 59% higher in that same time frame. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 0.2% from July to August, the same as the previous month. Compared with a year ago, core prices rose 4.6%, up from 4.2% in July. Energy prices were a big driver of last month's increase as ﬁghting in the Middle East ﬂared. The wholesale price of diesel soared 24.1% just from July to August. It has risen nearly 78% from a year earlier. Diesel fuel is used in large cargo trucks

for shipping goods all over the country, and could make groceries, clothes and other items more expensive. Shipping prices rose 2.3% just last month. Other items that jumped in price include airfares, hospital care, and electronic components, which have been lifted by rampant spending on AI data centers. Food prices ticked up just 0.1% last month, a potential signal that grocery costs could cool. Electric utility prices declined, too. Thursday's figures will come under particularly close scrutiny because they could help determine whether the Federal Reserve raises its short-term interest rate at a policy meeting next week. Data from the producer price index helps calculate the Fed's preferred inflation measure, which will be released Sept. 30. Airfares, hospital care and physician services all grew more expensive last month, with airfares jumping 4.2%. Those measures are all included in the Fed's preferred gauge and their increases could make a rate hike more likely. With wholesale inflation “still looking relatively hot, the Fed seems likely to hike this year even if it doesn’t pull the trigger this month,” wrote Stephen Brown, chief North America economist for Capital Economics.

Inflation drives hard decisions for small firms BY DEE DEPASS

The Minnesota Star Tribune (TNS) The co-owner of Ingebretsen’s Scandinavian Gifts and Foods in Minneapolis stopped taking a salary for a nearly a year and cut her inventory of imported Norwegian sweaters after tariffs and other costs increased by more than she could afford. A New Hope, Minnesota, manufacturer laid off five workers when hit with higher costs of necessary items from fuel to health insurance. A Minneapolis ad agency switched health plans and went into overdrive to find new clients to pay for added costs. The same inflationary forces that

have been hitting household budgets the past few years are causing an “affordability crisis” for small businesses, said Allie Palmer, senior strategist of the 3,000-member Main Street Alliance in Minnesota. “They’re kind of at the epicenter,” Palmer said. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis found steep increases in health care and insurance costs among inﬂationary challenges for small businesses, according to its six-month business conditions report released late last month. “Small businesses are saying that price increases for their inputs have been a major and consistent issue,” Federal Reserve analyst Haley Chinander said.

Proﬁts fell at more than half of the 905 businesses that responded to the Fed’s July survey. Many of these consumer-facing businesses resist passing cost increases onto customers at the same pace as larger firms, so “their profits are taking a huge hit,” Chinander said. “We do see a few in every survey saying that they might be closing their doors soon if things don’t improve.” The rural economy also has taken a hit, according to Creighton University’s surveys of businesses. Farm equipment sales have either declined or stayed ﬂat for 36 straight months, for example. With tariff disruptions and higher diesel costs from the U.S.-Is-

raeli war against Iran, “producers are not as willing to purchase new farm equipment due to volatility, along with low and negative cash ﬂows,” said Creighton economics professor Ernie Goss. Besides cutting her own salary, Anna Bloomstrand — who co-owns 105-year-old Ingebretsen’s Scandinavian Gifts and Foods with her mother, Julie Ingebretsen — said she halted retirement savings and cut her import orders of handmade Norwegian sweaters 70% after prices shot from $275 to $400 each. The price tag jolt comes as loyal shoppers conﬁded to Bloomstrand they have less discretionary money these days so are shopping less.

My 5-year-old’s favorite field trip of the year wasn’t the aquarium or the children’s museum — it was lunch at Galatoire’s, the iconic New Orleans restaurant better known for its shrimp rémoulade and trout meunière amandine than chicken tenders. After a transfixing lunch and etiquette lesson, a group of uniformed boys stepped out into the sunshine to begin their walk, single file, down Bourbon Street. Shepherded by their beloved teachers, they headed toward their yellow school bus waiting on Canal Street — passing under the bright red glow of the Hustler sign Madison along the way. Our three boys have had Webb a distinctly New Orleans GUEST COLUMNIST childhood. But after nine years, we’re leaving the city we’ve grown to love. And that’s very hard to do. We moved here excitedly. Expecting warmth and Southern hospitality, we were instead met with … cordial distance. Amused by tourists but suspicious of nonnative residents, New Orleans is a truly insular city. With no answer to “Who’s your mom and where’d you go to high school?” we were left with the option to fully buy in or live on the periphery, figuratively speaking. Unlike Atlanta, Charleston or Charlotte, you cannot passively live here. You would hate it. Every spring, we swapped strollers for wagons and let the sounds of marching bands lull the babies to sleep. We went to festivals, ate crawfish and made friends slowly but deeply. And despite our family being rival SEC fans, our boys are now running around in Paul Skenes jerseys. There must be something in the water. We’ve realized that Audubon Park, like New Orleans itself, requires a relationship. Have you seen it after a heavy rain, in the morning mist and in the evening when the marching krewes practice their routines? Similarly, would you appreciate Monet’s haystacks if you saw only one? In New Orleans, you must take great care to avoid hypnosis. The food. The drinks. The thick, wet heat. The city can lull you, not to sleep, but to a state of pleasurable stagnation. Most would be shocked at how time-consuming the revelry-making can be. The Big Easy really is quite busy. After a decade, it’s possible to have accomplished almost nothing despite a bursting social calendar; but you really don’t mind, or notice, because

you’ve simply had too much fun. Crime and infrastructure are always popular grievances. We keep spare water for the boil water advisories and leave car doors unlocked — not because there won’t be attempted break-ins, but because there will be. But as we’ve come to know, frustration is almost always followed by forgiveness. The history of New Orleans is a biography. She’s hard to impress and ruled by passions and prejudices. She’s wholeheartedly inspirational and wonderfully petty, forever the exception to the rule. For dreamers, there is no better place in the world. The city can sail you away. Builders, however, face more resistance: the pace, the networks, the frame of mind. Progress isn’t the goal; longevity is. And while our family’s story is still being written, we have lessons to learn, risks to take and mountains to climb. With that in mind, when the West called, we answered. New Orleans is a city where not many people move in, and not many move out. The surnames are as familiar to one another today as they were a generation ago. And that’s by design. But “the way it’s always been” has less of a hold on us. Our roots are only nine years deep. It’s a bittersweet departure. We leave wiser — with ﬁner taste and a higher tolerance — and with immense gratitude. If Paris is a feeling, then New Orleans is a spirit. Fortunately, we can bring that with us. Over the past nine years, we fell in love with the city and made the dearest of memories. And still, we never quite belonged. But our boys do. For the three of them, New Orleans will always mean one thing: home. Madison Webb is a freelance writer and mom of three who until recently lived in New Orleans.

COMMENTARY

An American flag flies in Jersey City, N.J., with the World Trade Center and lower Manhattan skyline in background.

ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO By ADAM GRAy

ISSUE OF THE WEEK 9/11 ANNIVERSARy Twenty-five years ago, our nation watched in horror as hijackers commandeered four commercial airliners and crashed them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon.A plane headed to the U.S. Capitol went down in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers fought back. It was the worst terror attack on U.S. soil, leaving 2,977 dead. In the weeks after, a stunned nation joined together to comfort the grieving and rally behind the flag.Airplane security was tightened.The Department of Homeland Security was created.The U.S. launched the Global War on Terror to hunt down those responsible for the attacks. Life in America changed in many other subtle ways. But are the lessons of 9/11 still relevant today? Here are two perspectives:

Presidents, chancellors reach no resolution in Thursday’s virtual meeting

BY REED DARCEY Staff writer

The SEC’s presidents and chancellors met virtually on Thursday to discuss potential punishments they could levy against LSU following its pursuit of former pro players but left the meeting without a firm decision. In a statement released Thursday evening, the league said that its ä La Tech: at leaders met to discuss “reLSU 6:30 P.M. cent matters involving conSATURDAy, SECN+ ference expectations and responsibilities” and that “discussions will continue as the conference and its member universities work toward an appropriate resolution.” LSU president Wade Rousse attended Thursday’s meeting but “only briefly,” according to an ESPN report. He told the group that LSU’s university counsel advised him not to participate because he’s a defendant in the federal lawsuit the league filed against top LSU officials on Sept. 3. The SEC’s 16 presidents and chancellors were initially scheduled to vote on whether they wanted to expel LSU from the league in their Thursday meeting. The conference removed the vote from the agenda on Wednesday, though, after the Tigers decided not to sign the two former Ole Miss starters and NFL training camp players at the heart of the legal saga: tight end Dae’Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris. LSU instead gave the two roster spots it saved for Wright and Harris to a pair of players who are rehabbing season-ending injuries: cornerback Aidan Anding (Achilles) and defensive end Gabe Reliford (ACL).

Inside pass rusher young’s evolution with the Saints

randon Staley was there to look at draft prospects. And on Ohio State’s campus last spring, there were plenty of players to keep the New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator busy. But as he made his way through the program’s lavish facility, Staley couldn’t help but get caught up in the hardware.

Tulane transfers ﬁred up for matchup vs. South Alabama Facing former team ‘personal’ ä South Alabama at Tulane for Green Wave LB Hughes 6 P.M. SATURDAy, ESPN+

BY GUERRY SMITH Contributing writer

Before he transferred to Tulane from South Alabama, linebacker Dalton Hughes joked he was this close to the winning touchdown against the Green Wave last September. With Tulane leading 33-31, a punt that was supposed to go out of bounds as time ran out went directly to playmaker Devin Voisin, who returned it 35 yards to the Jaguars’ 44 before lateraling to Hughes. “He got called out of bounds before he ﬂipped it back to me,” Hughes said. “I always laugh and say if he didn’t get called out of bounds, I would have scored.” Hughes has a score to settle in the rematch with his old team on Saturday at Yulman Stadium (6 p.m., ESPN+). He, like starting defensive tackle Ed Smith, left South Alabama for Tulane because they loved the

winning culture in the program after going through a dysfunctional 4-8 season with the Jaguars in what turned out to be their fifth and final year there. They want to prove they made the right decision. “It’s awesome that I get to play the school that I was at for five years,” said Hughes, who made three tackles in the Wave’s 17-3 opening-season loss at Duke. “I’d be lying if I said it didn’t mean a little more. This is a little personal.” Hughes elected not to go into specifics about his beef with South Alabama, but he noted how the lack of pointing fingers or pouting after Tulane’s disappointing 17-3 loss to Duke was refreshing compared to his experience in Mobile, Alabama. He added he was providing intel on his former teammates and the scheme Major Applewhite has run in two-plus years as South Alabama

Center Koval granted NCAA U.S. makes semiﬁnals waiver to transfer from LSU FIBA WORLD CUP

with rout of Hungary Women continue their winning streak BY DOUG FEINBERG

AP basketball writer

BERLIN — Napheesa Collier scored 19 points and the U.S. routed Hungary 108-56 to advance to the semifinals of the women’s FIBA World Cup on Thursday. The U.S. will play the winner of the Spain-Australia game on Saturday in the medal round. France played China and Belgium played host Germany in the other quarterfinal matchups. The Americans have now won 34 consecutive games in the tournament dating to a loss to Russia in the 2006 World Cup semifinals. The U.S. has made every medal round since 1983 when the format changed to have medal rounds. It was a record-breaking performance for the U.S. The 108 points was the most by any team ever in a quarterfinal. The U.S. had 31 assists, again the most in this round. “When that ball is moving, we want to get the best possible shot,” said Kahleah Copper, who had 10 points. “We want to make sure everybody gets involved. Everyone here on this roster, we know what they’re doing on their respective (WNBA) teams. But you come here, you sacrifice a little bit of that.” Copper said the players were always looking to turn good scoring opportunities into great ones. The Americans did just that. The U.S. was off and running early against Hungary, jumping out to a 36-12 lead after the first quarter. The Americans were constantly pounding the ball inside and converting turnovers into easy layups. Caitlin Clark and former LSU star Angel Reese showed their growing chemistry on the court, finishing the quarter with a nifty pick and roll just before the buzzer. Collier had 10 points in the first 10 minutes. The offense was sizzling early on as the Americans hit 20 of their first 26 shots (77%), including five of six 3-point attempts to race to a 50-18 lead with 6 minutes left in the first half. The Americans led 5930 at the break — the highest scoring first half in team history in a knockout game at the event according to FIBA. The Americans got a little scare when Sonia Citron had to leave in the third quarter when she was hit in the nose by a Hungary player’s hand by accident. Citron returned to start the fourth quarter. Clark finished with 10 points and nine assists, just missing out on her second double-double of the tournament. The U.S. was also solid on defense. They contained Hungary’s top scorer Dorka Juhasz, who plays for the Minnesota Lynx. She came into the game averaging 15.3 points and 11 rebounds in the tournament. She missed her first seven shots and didn’t get her first basket until 2:26 was left in the half. She finished the game with two points on 1 of 12 shooting. Hungary came away with its best finish ever in the World Cup by reaching the quarterfinals for the first time. Hungary was fifth in the 1957 tournament but back then it was a round robin with no medal rounds.

The NCAA has granted former LSU women’s basketball center Kate Koval an eligibility waiver that will allow her to enter the transfer portal, find a new team and suit up for the 2026-27 season, a source confirmed Thursday. Koval, a 6-foot-5 junior from Ukraine, left the program on Aug. 23 because the Tigers signed Russian player Anna Minaeva. Koval said in a statement on Sept. 2 that she did not learn about the move until after the transfer portal closed in April and that coach Kim Mulkey’s decision to recruit Minaeva led her to question whether she wanted to play for LSU this year. Koval’s father, Oleksandr, serves in the Ukrainian military. He’s been fighting Ukraine’s war with Russia since it started in 2022. “For me,” Koval said, “this war is not distant or abstract. People close to me have been killed and wounded in Russian attacks, and places where I grew up and first began playing basketball have been destroyed by missile strikes. “The timing of this situation and the deeply personal effect it has had on me, my family and those we care about who continue to live through and fight this war ultimately made me question whether LSU remained the right place for me.” Mulkey told The Advocate in an interview on Aug. 17 that she talked to Koval before she started recruiting Minaeva. The two met in a parked car outside Koval’s apartment complex, she said, and discussed Mulkey’s hope that Koval and Minaeva could become “ambassadors” for peace and kinship as teammates this coming season. The LSU coach thought the pairing could turn into an uplifting story. “I want you to understand I’m not here to ask you to change how you feel about Russia,” Mulkey said, recalling her conversation with Koval. “I’m just here out of respect for your family and out of respect for you, to let you know. Because I know how personal it is for you. “Know that what I have to do in this business, I cannot make a

NEW YORK — Aryna Sabalenka moved a win away from her third straight U.S. Open title, beating Jessica Pegula 7-5, 6-2 on Thursday night. Sabalenka blasted her way out of what was a dead-even match for most of the ﬁrst set, pouncing on Pegula’s second serves and turning the second set into perhaps her most impressive stretch of tennis in the tournament. The No. 1 seed will face No. 2 Elena Rybakina or No. 4 Coco Gauff on Saturday, needing a victory to become the first player to win three in a row in Flushing Meadows since Serena Williams from 2012-14. Rybakina will replace Sabalenka atop the women’s tennis rankings next week, and Sabalenka said this week she would be ﬁne ceding No. 1 after she held it 99 consecutive weeks if it she was able to win another U.S. Open trophy. It will be hard to prevent that if she hits the ball Saturday the way she did against Pegula. Sabalenka pounded 29 winners to Pegula’s 12, turning their third straight meeting at the end of the U.S. Open into a rout, after her

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left practice Thursday with an oblique injury. Tagovailoa bent over in obvious discomfort after throwing a pass during a portion of practice open to media and grabbed his right side. He dropped to the ground for a few seconds before getting up and trying to shake off the injury. It’s unclear if he returned to practice. The Falcons listed him as a limited participant. Tagovailoa’s ﬁrst game with the Falcons is at Pittsburgh on Sunday. It’s the same spot where he made the last start of his rocky ﬁnal season with Miami. Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski announced Monday that Tagovailoa will open the season as the starter and Michael Penix will be inactive.

Niemann leads Irish Open after four straight birdies

DOONBEG, Ireland — Joaquin Niemann ran off four straight birdies down the closing stretch at the Irish Open on Thursday that carried him to a 5-under 65 and a two-shot lead among those who managed to finish in wind strong enough to slow play and keep the round from finishing. Shane Lowry, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm faced the worst of the wind at Trump International, the cliffside course along the Atlantic Coast. Lowry played bogey-free on the back nine, saving par with a 10-foot putt on the 17th hole, and came in at 67. He was tied with Shaun Norris of South Africa, while three others — including Adrian Meronk — were on 3 under and unable to finish before darkness.

I will always cherish the relationships, experiences, and memories I made there.” Koval, a former top-ﬁve national recruit, spent her freshman season at Notre Dame and her sophomore year at LSU. In 2025-26, she started 17 of the 35 games the Ti-

gers played, averaging 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest while shooting 56% from the ﬁeld. Minaeva is a 17-year-old who has played at the top two tiers of Russia’s women’s professional basketball league. She first appeared on LSU’s radar not long after Mulkey added former Miami assistant coach Fitzroy Anthony to her staff. He deserves “all the credit,” Mulkey said, for landing the Tigers’ two international signees: Minaeva and Spanish forward Noa Morro. Koval would’ve likely started for LSU this season. Now, because her waiver was approved, she can take her talents elsewhere. USA Today first reported the news that the NCAA had granted Koval’s request for a waiver.

Falcons QB Tagovailoa leaves practice with injury

victory in the 2024 final and 2025 semifinals were tight most of the way. “I was so desperate for the win, I wanted it badly,” Sabalenka said. She has won 19 straight matches at the U.S. Open since losing to Gauff in the 2023 final. The top four seeds made it to the women’s semifinals at the U.S. Open for the first time since 1975. Sabalenka, Rybakina and Gauff have all won multiple major titles, while Pegula is still looking for her first. The native of Buffalo, New York, hoped it would come at her favorite Grand Slam tournament on her strongest surface, but unfortunately for her the hard courts are also where Sabalenka’s power is more relentless. Pegula wasn’t particularly upset because she thought she played well and that nothing she could have tried might have mattered. Sabalenka had mediocre results this summer, but on Thursday brought out the tennis that took her to the top. “I think that’s definitely — you can ask her — probably the best match she’s played this year,” Pegula said. “I mean, I thought her level was insanely high.” Sabalenka won 14 of 19 points on Pegula’s second serve, smashing

balls back more quickly than they were coming at her. Still, Pegula hung with her for a while. It was already 4-all in 25 minutes and Sabalenka appeared to be getting frustrated with not getting anywhere on Pegula’s serve, waving at her coaches’ box in disgust after one miss. Pegula had won 18 of 20 points on her ﬁrst serve when she stepped to the line serving with Sabalenka leading 6-5. Then Sabalenka suddenly hit a backhand winner, Pegula sent a forehand long and Sabalenka hit another winner to set up a set point, and finished off the set a couple points later. Sabalenka put Pegula in huge trouble in her second service game of the second set, eventually pouncing on a 77 mph second serve and hammering a forehand back at 90 mph then Pegula had no chance of getting back for a 3-1 lead. Sabalenka said this week she loved playing against Pegula, who had the most wins and shared the most hard-court wins on tour this season, because it was an opponent who could put her under pressure and force her to respond when challenged. When she did, the No. 3 seed couldn’t keep up.

Braves OF Thomas headed to IL after pregame injury

ATLANTA — Braves outfielder Lane Thomas is headed to the 15-day injured list after hurting himself in the batting cage before the game Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Thomas was set to start the series finale against the Rays, but he sustained an intercostal injury in his right side while taking swings in the cage, according to manager Walt Weiss. The 31-year-old Thomas was acquired from Kansas City ahead of the trade deadline to give the firstplace Braves another right-handed batter. He is hitting just .171 with one homer and three RBIs in 21 games with his new team. Brewer Hicklen started in place of Thomas and went 0-for-2 in Atlanta’s 3-1 victory.

French soccer withdraws support for Infantino

PARIS — The French Football Federation withdrew its support for Gianni Infantino’s bid for another term as FIFA president on Thursday after his controversial plan to sell stakes in the World Cup. The FIFA presidential election is scheduled for March. “Whilst support had initially been given to the FIFA president, who was then the sole candidate for his own succession, the conditions for that support are no longer met,” the FFF said. UEFA has led the calls for Infantino to go, saying it lost conﬁdence in him and previously threatened to boycott FIFA tournaments, including the World Cup. Several national associations, including England, have withdrawn support for Infantino’s re-election.

UConn men’s hoops lands 5-star recruit in Bowman

HARTFORD, Conn. — The UConn men’s basketball program landed its first commitment in the 2027 class as NaVorro Bowman, a five-star guard, reportedly pledged to the Huskies on Thursday. Bowman, the son of former fourtime NFL All-Pro linebacker NaVorro Bowman, is the No. 11 overall recruit and No. 2 combo guard in his class, according to 247Sports. His commitment was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. At 6-foot-3 guard out of Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., Bowman made up his mind shortly after visiting Storrs earlier this week. He reportedly had additional visits planned to Illinois, Texas and Arizona later this month, but he didn’t waste any time after his inside look at Hurley’s program.

FRIDAY NIGHT RUNDOWN

lll

FOUR DOWNS: Christopher Dabe breaks down four things to look for Friday night.

REESE CLASSIC The Wayne Reese Classic pits Booker T. Washington against McDonogh 35 at Pan American Stadium. The game is in memory of the late Wayne Reese Sr., a longtime coach with ties to both schools. Wayne Reese Jr. is Booker T. Washington’s head coach.

ON THE ROAD John Curtis is on the road to face 12-time Mississippi state champion Louisville (Mississippi). The Patriots lost to reigning Texas state champion North Shore last week in Lafayette, and they’ll return there next week to face Lafayette Renaissance.

RANKED FOES Rummel (No. 7 in 5A) is facing a state-ranked opponent for the second week in a row. After bumping University High from No. 1 in Class 3A, the Raiders will face 3A No. 7 Vandebilt at yenni. The run of ranked foes will continue in Week 3 vs. 4A No. 2 Shaw.

FOUR STREAKS Four New Orleans area schools with winning streaks of 10 or longer are reigning state champions Edna Karr (28 games), Riverside (13) and St. Charles (10) along with young Audiences (10), which is playing for district honors for the first time this season.

Archbishop Shaw running back Allen ‘Cinco’ Shaw V tries to evade Hahnville’s Austin Sanchez on Friday in Marrero.

The Shaw brothers’ first varsity game together felt like old times

ong before Red and Cinco Shaw shared the same backfield for Archbishop Shaw, the two brothers ran the same play for their park-ball team. They called it “28 Green Bay sweep.” “That was my favorite play,” Cinco said. Red, the quarterback, handed Cinco the ball Chris and watched him Dabe go around the right end for a long touchdown run. That was four years ago as teammates at Woodmere Playground. What happened in Friday’s season opener felt like old times. With Red at quarterback and Cinco the running back, the two brothers combined for 276 total yards and three touchdowns in Shaw’s 20-14 victory against Hahnville. The team faced a third-and-7 near midfield when Red gave Cinco the ball and watched him run. This time, Cinco went around the left end. He kept both arms wrapped around the football as Hahnville defenders tried to pull it from his grasp. He ran 16 yards, enough for a first down that let Shaw run out the clock. “It’s great,” Red said. “My brother being next to me in the backfield is like park-ball days.”

Week 2 schedule Friday’s games All games at 7 p.m. unless noted. Ascension Catholic at Hammond Bonnabel at Mandeville Brother Martin at St. Paul’s Carver at Pensacola (Fla.) Catholic Cohen at St. John Covenant Christian at Riverside De La Salle at Northshore East Jefferson at Fontainebleau Edna Karr at Huntington Episcopal at Northlake Christian Jesuit at St. Thomas More John Curtis at Louisville (Miss.)

Saturday’s games Thomas Jefferson vs. Fisher at Memtsas, 11 a.m. Kenner Discovery vs. Jefferson Rise at Memtsas, 7 p.m.

The brothers hope this was just the beginning. The starting quarterback on Shaw’s state runner-up team last season, Red wants to get his team back to the Caesars Superdome. He picked up where he left off by running 10 times for 116 yards and one touchdown. The senior also threw for 75 yards on three completions. A sophomore playing in his first varsity game, Cinco ran 20 times for 85 yards and two touchdowns. His second touchdown came on a 7-yard run in the third quarter. As Cinco crossed the goal line, Red raised his arms in celebration. “I love seeing my little brother score,” Red said. “I love seeing him have success and having fun. It’s the greatest thing.” Asked what Cinco does well at running back, Red said, “Everything. He can run. He can read the field. He can drop his hat when he needs to. He can do it all.” All told, at least one Shaw brother ran or passed the football on 38 of the team’s 46 offensive plays. Sophomore quarterback Anthony Condoll had four pass attempts among the other eight plays. Red and Cinco are nicknames. Their given names are Allen Shaw III and Allen Shaw V. They share the first name of their father, Allen Sr. Their oldest brother, also

Allen IV, the brother between Red and Cinco, died at birth. In tribute to him, Red’s basketball jersey is No. 4. He wears No. 6 for football because No. 4 was taken when he joined the varsity two years ago. Cinco, as one might imagine, wears No. 5. “Red gets on Cinco a lot,” Shaw coach Hank Tierney said. “It’s a good kind of brotherhood. Red wants Cinco to be

the best player he can be.” Cinco felt nervous before his first varsity game. After kickoff, while in the backfield awaiting the first snap, he stood near his brother. His first carry went for 10 yards. Like old times. “Really doing the same exact thing from park ball,” he said. Contact Christopher Dabe at cdabe@theadvocate.com

FRIDAY NIGHT’S TOP MATCHUPS BROTHER MARTIN AT ST. PAUL’S

7 p.m., Hunter Stadium Five-star wideout Easton Royal had nine catches for 243 yards and three touchdowns, plus one passing touchdown, in last season’s win against St. Paul’s.The teams are meeting for the fifth year in a row; Brother Martin won the first four matchups.

ST. AUGUSTINE AT DESTREHAN

7 p.m.,Wildcat Stadium Both teams have new starting quarterbacks with plenty of experienced players around them, making this a solid early season test for St.Augustine’s Jaelle Noble and Destrehan’s A’Ushai Smith. Both teams won their openers last week.

ST. CHARLES AT HAHNVILLE

7 p.m.,Tiger Stadium Hahnville faces a state finalist for the second week in a row after last week’s loss at Shaw. Coach Greg Boyne took blame for not running the ball more. St. Charles, a title winner last season, ran it plenty with Evan Duffour in last week’s overtime win vs. Legacy (Texas).

THREE PLAYERS TO WATCH KENRIC JOHNSON

QB, Riverside The all-state receiver has moved to quarterback and accounted for four touchdowns — two rushing, one passing and one receiving — while also intercepting a pass and recovering a fumble on defense in the opener against Kennedy.

PATRICK ROBINSON JR.

RB, St.Augustine The son of former Saints cornerback Patrick Robinson Sr. returned from a knee injury that caused him to miss an entire season and accounted for two touchdowns — one rushing, one passing — against McDonogh 35. He ran six times for 64 yards.

BREEZE WILSON

QB, Chalmette The senior accounted for five touchdowns (three rushing, two passing) as he ran 11 times for 110 yards and completed seven of nine for 114 yards last week against John Ehret.The Owls’ 55 points were the most for the school since 2019.

Most Newman football games are not documented by an NFL Films camera crew. But then most Newman football games don’t have Drew Brees on the sideline. The Hall of Fame quarterback returned to New Orleans as an assistant coach on his sons’ high school football team, with Brees as the passing game coordinator and oldest son Baylen as a slot receiver. The game between Newman and Santa Fe Christian of California was a pairing of the two schools the Brees children attended during their dad’s 15-year career with the Saints. In the hours before the 7 p.m. Thursday kickoff at Newman’s Michael Lupin Field, Brees made left-handed tosses with a football as he played catch with other coaches and talked near midfield with Newman athletic director Patrick Summerour. He wore a black cap with the letters SFC in white, a white pullover shirt with a collar and the school logo on the left breast and light grey shorts. Newman quarterback Ren Guidry, among the five Newman football seniors who played on a flag football team Brees coached when they were in third through sixth grades, jogged by for a pregame handshake. A chance to be on the field again with those players “is also part of what’s exciting about tonight,” Brees said. Also spotted on the field was former Brees teammate Scott Fujita along with Brees’ wife, Brittany. Bowen Brees, the middle of the three Brees sons, is a sophomore on the varsity team. Youngest son Callen is on the freshman team. For the family, this was a homecoming longer than a year in a making. “Something that’s been in the works for a while,” Brees said during a media gathering at the Loews New Orleans Hotel. “Certainly, a thought, like, wouldn’t it be cool if we could bring our high school team from Southern California out here to play Newman?” Talks between the schools picked up about a year ago, Brees said, “and I was excited that they were as excited as we were to do it.” The game is part of a four-day stay in the city where Brees played the final 15 seasons of his Hall of Fame career. Santa Fe Christian arrived Wednesday for a team walkthrough and tour at the Saints’ training facility, and “the kids’ eyes were as big as saucers looking at Chase Young’s locker and Alvin Kamara’s locker,” Brees said. Also scheduled for the weekend were a swamp tour on Friday, a trip to Baton Rouge for the LSU game on Saturday and a Saints’ watch party for their opening game on the road against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. “And hopefully we get a lot of new Saints fans in New Orleans as a result,” Brees said. Brees won’t be with the team for the entire weekend. The Fox game analyst will be in Charlotte on Sunday for a game between the Bears and Panthers. While there, he will be thinking about his sons’ high school team. “As I’m doing broadcasting on Sundays, I’m stealing plays and concepts and ideas that are like, ‘Hey, I think we could run this on the high school level,’” he said. “Or I could just log this in the memory bank for later.”

Ole Miss coach aims to eliminate erratic play vs. Charlotte BY CHRIS BURROWS Associated Press

ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTO By JACOB HAMILTON

Michigan wide receiver JJ Buchanan makes the game-winning catch to beat Western Michigan on Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Michigan has more issues than a clock controversy BY LARRY LAGE AP sportswriter

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan’s football team has much bigger problems, including No. 11 Oklahoma, than a clock controversy. The dramatic ending to the formerly 16th-ranked Wolverines’ 13-12 win over Western Michigan — with a disputed second on the clock that gave Bryce Underwood another chance to complete a Hail Mary — has been one of the most talked about topics in sports for nearly a week. “That was a crazy game,” said Sooners linebacker Cole Sullivan, who transferred from Michigan after last season. The conclusion and fallout from Michigan’s last game has overshadowed, to some degree, how poorly it played in all three phases during coach Kyle Whittingham’s debut with college football’s winningest program. “We got plenty to ﬁx,” Whittingham said. And not a lot of time. The Wolverines, who fell out of the AP Top 25, are 6½-point underdogs on Saturday at home against the Sooners in a Big TenSEC matchup. Underwood walked out of the locker room and down the tunnel for last week’s prime-time kick-

off with a music and light show during his energetic entrance, slapping his helmet and pumping his right ﬁst in a demonstrative display of emotion. The closely watched quarterback, in his second season after being the nation’s No. 1 recruit, got off to a great start with his arm and legs on a game-opening touchdown drive. Underwood struggled for the rest of the game — his game-winning, 47-yard touchdown throw notwithstanding — and was often seen expressionless and speaking to no one on the sideline. “I just feel like we’ve got to come out and dominate and be aggressive — how we were the ﬁrst drive — every single play,” Underwood said. “We can’t get down, our energy can’t get down.” When asked earlier this week how firmly entrenched Underwood is as Michigan’s QB1, Whittingham said the sophomore has to improve to keep his job. Underwood, who appears to be very active on social media, insisted later in the week that he was unaware of what Whittingham said about him. “I didn’t see that,” Underwood insisted. “It’s cool.” Underwood’s seat could get hotter if he doesn’t make better decisions and throw more accurately

against the Sooners, especially if they shut down Michigan’s running game as the Broncos of the Mid-American Conference did last week. Michigan’s No. 2 quarterback is Tommy Carr, whose brother CJ is Notre Dame’s quarterback and grandfathers are in the College Football Hall of Fame. Western Michigan was also in control on offense against the Wolverines. In the second half, the Broncos had a 20-play touchdown drive that took nearly a quarter off the clock and possessed the ball more than twice as long as the Wolverines did. Special teams contributed to Michigan’s misery too, with Andrew Marsh losing a fumble on a punt return. Making matters worse for Whittingham, his team was ﬂagged nine times for 80 yards. But the Wolverines’ tepid performance didn’t diminish Oklahoma coach Brent Venables’ view of them. “We’ve put Michigan in a great light like they deserve for a long time here for the last several months,” he said. “This isn’t the ﬁrst week that we’ve been preparing and talking about Michigan and Georgia and Texas and many other teams that are on our schedule.”

OXFORD, Miss. — After erratic play nearly cost No. 9 Ole Miss in its season opener, coach Pete Golding has made consistency an overarching theme while preparing for Saturday’s home opener against Charlotte. “The positive for sure was there were flashes and times when that was what it’s supposed to look like,” Golding said of Ole Miss’ 41-38 victory over Louisville in Nashville on Sunday — a result that remained in doubt until kicker Lucas Carneiro’s 48-yard field goal as time expired. “We’ve just got to get it more consistent,” Golding stressed. Likewise, quarterback Trinidad Chambliss lamented what he termed, “bonehead plays in the first half.” But Chambliss rebounded to help Ole Miss score 31 second-half points, four individual touchdowns and guiding the game-winning drive in the final 75 seconds. The final-play victory against a ranked opponent is viewed as a positive for Golding, with the luxury of a home opener against an unranked opponent prior to the highly-anticipated visit from No. 8 LSU on Sept. 19. The winning kick “was the best thing” about the game and that reviewing video of Ole Miss’ opening performance with his staff and players was not very pleasant. “It doesn’t matter if you’re playing Louisville, or Charlotte or Delta State, you’re not going to like” the way last weekend’s performance looked, Golding said. “This is about us. It doesn’t matter who you’re playing.”

Ole Miss is missing tackles Among the more striking developments within the Rebels defense in Week 1 were the number of missed tackles, broken assignments and the massive amounts of yardage given up because of such mistakes. According to their own video review, the Rebels missed 19 tackles, resulting directly in 242 yards and three touchdowns for the Cardinals. Golding praised the collective hustle on defense, but said that was undermined by mental mistakes and poor tackling technique. “Right now it’s about guys getting lined up right, seeing their keys, snapping to their secondary key and doing their job,” Golding said. “Hopefully they’ve got a little chip on their shoulder and will clean things up this week.”

Charlotte is rebuilding The second year of coach Tim Albin’s rebuilding process got off to a painful start as the 49ers (0-1) lost 43-41 in three overtimes at home to the Citadel, a team in the secondtier Football Championship Subdi-

Continued from page 1C coach and three years before that as offensive coordinator. “I know a lot about what he likes to do and then obviously the personnel,” Hughes said. “They have some transfers, but it’s a lot of the same guys.” Smith, who made eight tackles while playing 60 downs in his Tulane debut, references the same positive energy as Hughes. Having started every game for South Alabama last season, he admitted to extra incentive facing his former school but added the game was bigger than him. “Everybody came in Monday with a chip on their shoulder,” he said. “The urgency from practice has been very high. We’re clearing up the mistakes we made against Duke. We’re in a good spot. We don’t need to do anything extraordinary. We just need to do our job and control what we can control.”

Scouting the Jaguars South Alabama was picked sixth out of seven teams in the Sun Belt Conference West division in a

preseason poll of the league’s coaches. The Jaguars returned four starters on each side of the ball, including ﬁfth-year senior quarterback Bishop Davenport, who went 17 of 24 for 231 yards and two touchdowns against Tulane last season while adding 63 yards and another score on the ground. His rushing and passing totals were his second-highest of the year. Gone are Voisin, who had a season-best 152 yards on eight catches, and running back Kentrel Bullock, who gained 107 yards on 24 carries, along with eight of the top 10 tacklers (including Hughes and Smith). “Davenport’s really scary,” Tulane coach Will Hall said. “He’s in his second year of starting in the same system. You’ve got to really account for him as a dual-threat guy.” Having hung with Tulane for four quarters a year ago, South Alabama likely will enter with self-belief. “They are going to have conﬁdence,” Hughes said. “They are thinking we lost to those guys by two points last year, and they (Tulane) are 0-1 while we (South Alabama) are 1-0. But they faced an FCS team (Southeastern Louisi-

ana) and we faced the ACC champions.”

Special appearance Tulane will wear its much-talked-about City Edition Mardi Grasthemed uniforms and helmets for the game — a look that received a thumbs-up from Hall. “It’s awesome,” he said. “Everybody putting their hands in that did a phenomenal job representing this city and what it’s about. I know our players are ﬁred up and our fans are, too.”

Lagniappe Hall said he expected John Bock, who returned to practice this week after missing the opener with a foot injury, and replacement Gavin Marks to play Saturday. … Ryan Mickow will start at left tackle and Darian Reed will start at right tackle. Mickow started at right tackle against Duke and Reed was the ﬁrst lineman off the bench. Dominic Steward, who started at left tackle against Duke, will be a reserve. … This is the teams’ fourth meeting in seven seasons. Tulane won the previous three – 27-24 on the road in 2020 and 37-17 at home in 2023 before last year’s close call.

Rousse confirmed that LSU had made that decision in a letter he sent to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey on Wednesday. In the letter, he said that LSU would not “challenge, disrupt or seek to cancel or postpone” Thursday’s meeting. “The roster is now locked for the season,” Rousse said. “LSU complied with SEC rules. This issue is moot.” The saga began on Aug. 19, when Wright, Harris and a group of roughly 40 athletes from the high school graduating class of 2022 won a temporary restraining order in the lawsuit they filed against the NCAA in Louisiana state court. In response to that decision, the SEC passed a rule barring players who had signed NFL, NBA and WNBA contracts from competing in the league. The plaintiffs and their attorneys then added the SEC and Sankey to their suit as defendants, leading the conference to file a countersuit against top LSU officials in an Alabama federal court. In that filing — which eventually named Kiffin, Rousse, athletic director Verge Ausberry and Louisiana attorney general Liz Murril as defendants — the SEC accused LSU of orchestrating the initial lawsuit that made those athletes eligible to return to college sports and denying the league its First Amendment rights to create and enforce its own rules. Kiffin has said that he did not initiate the players’ law-

vision. The 49ers, who play in the American Conference, have lost 12 of their last 13 games. “In the last four games, we’ve played Tulane, Georgia and now, Ole Miss,” said Albin, alluding to the difﬁculty of his squad’s schedule late last year and early this season. “The Chambliss kid is the best I’ve faced in my 38 years (of coaching). Defensively, the speed of it — and of course the crowd” at Ole Miss will be challenging as well, he said. Despite the struggle to ﬁnd victories, the 49ers rolled up 538 yards of total offense. Quarterback Cole Gonzales, who has passed for more than 7,000 career yards, threw for 322 yards and three touchdowns in Week 1.

Odom overcoming vision problems Tight end Caleb Odom provided the decisive third-down conversion catch to set up the game-winning field goal against Louisville. This week, while revisiting his Week 1 performance, Odom confirmed having eyesight problems last season. “I’ve always kind of had bad vision, but I never took the initiative to have it fixed,” Odom said with a sheepish smile. “Last year that was a huge problem with me, so yeah, I went to the eye doctor and got some contacts and glasses and actually started wearing them.”

Less playing time The Rebels’ opener was “a heavyweight ﬁght and so we’re deﬁnitely banged up,” Golding said. “But the good news is all X-rays were negative.” Golding’s injury list included running back Kewan Lacy (thigh), linebacker Keaton Thomas (foot), offensive lineman Tommy Kinsler (leg) and cornerback Antonio Kite (undisclosed), but the coach noted that none of those injuries are considered long term, and that none of those players were ruled out yet for this Saturday’s game.

suit. The league said Tuesday when it filed an amended version of its lawsuit, that it had scheduled a vote to kick LSU out of the league on Thursday. The threat of that major step, which would’ve had no precedent in the modern history of college sports, led Kiffin and LSU to wave the white flag on their push to sign Wright and Harris. The Tigers can, however, leave one of the Louisiana plaintiffs on their football roster. Former Notre Dame defensive end Junior Tuihalamaka did not sign an NFL deal this summer, which means he’s free to play this season for LSU. In a Week 1 win over Clemson, he logged 11 snaps on special teams. LSU must now decide if it wants to take on a similar fight for men’s basketball commitment RJ Luis. On Aug. 24, a Baton Rouge judge awarded him a preliminary injunction that will allow him to return to college basketball this season. But if coach Will Wade formally adds him to the roster, then he’d run afoul of the same SEC pro player ban that Kiffin nearly violated when he recruited Wright and Harris. Luis, a former Big East player of the year who’s appeared in NBA preseason games, will likely need to amend his lawsuit to add the SEC as a defendant if he wants to continue his fight for more NCAA eligibility.

SAINTS NOTEBOOK

Lions star St. Brown true test for Sanker

BY MATTHEW PARAS AND LUKE JOHNSON

can learn from him. A lot of players can learn from him and so it’ll be a fun test.”

Staff writer

As far as first tests go, Jonas Sanker arguably couldn’t have been given a tougher matchup for his ﬁrst assignment in the slot. At Star, New Orleans’ version of an inside cornerback, Sanker will face a true star: Detroit’s Amon-Ra St. Brown. “He’s got quite the résumé,” Sanker said. “He’s proven himself in the league, being productive just the whole time he’s been in the league, really. He’s a great test and we’re looking forward to it.” Much has been made about Sanker’s switch to Star after a standout rookie season at safety. After months of learning the ins and outs of his new position, Sanker said the key this week will be to match St. Brown’s physicality. That, after all, is the wide receiver’s calling card. Lions coach Dan Campbell said on St. Brown’s podcast that he felt like the former fifth-rounder was the most physical receiver coming out of the 2021 draft. And that toughness has translated to the pros — and the slot, where 293 of St. Brown’s 547 catches have come. “It’s going to be big to ﬁnd ways to stay attached,” Sanker said. One reason the Saints have trusted Sanker with the new role is that they believe he’s well equipped

Resting plan Last year, Davon Godchaux would rest almost every Thursday because the Saints would work on third downs, and well, the veteran nose tackle wasn’t going to see the ﬁeld on those plays. That plan is on track to continue this year. The Saints rested Godchaux on Thursday, days ahead of Sunday’s season opener against the Detroit Lions. Godchaux was the only new absence in practice as defensive end Cam Jordan (hamstring), running back Audric Estime (thigh) and tight end Oscar Delp (hamstring) missed their second straight session.

Continued from page 1C a rookie in 2020, Young’s potential looked limitless after a midseason surge fueled the Washington Commanders into the playoffs. During that stretch, Washington named Young a captain late in the year, and the campaign even earned Young his first hardware in the NFL — a Defensive Rookie of the Year trophy. But his career did not take off as planned. The next season, Young mustered just 11/ 2 sacks in nine games before suffering a crippling knee injury that lingered into the next three years. In that span, his loud, thunderous voice had quieted. His injury led teammates to vote him only as an alternative captain in 2022, and then snub him completely a year later. Now, Young is on the verge of stardom once again. His first two seasons in New Orleans have been a revelation that Young may still be capable of reaching the lofty heights expected when he was billed as a “generational” prospect. “What I did last year,” Young said in training camp, “it just set a standard for me this year, right?”

Understanding brotherhood At the end of last month’s joint practice against the Los Angeles Rams, the Saints were exhausted. The outing marked the third practice against another team in a seven-day span. The blazing California sun — not to mention the Rams — had made it a tough afternoon. So, before the team headed for the buses, Young stepped in front of the group to deliver a message. The pass rusher told them to think of Week 15, Week 16, when the Saints would be late in the season. By then, he told them, the Saints would be at another level. And they would be at that level because of the type of work they put in on this exact kind of practice when they had to push through. They may be physically tired, but they’d be mentally sharp. “Don’t get me wrong, Chase has always been vocal,” linebacker Isaiah Stalbird said. “But this year, he’s deﬁnitely taken more of that leadership role.” Staley’s push in April was only part of Young’s motivation. The pass rusher knew there would be an opening for someone to step up after linebacker Demario Davis — the longtime heartbeat of New Orleans’ defense — left for the New York Jets in free agency. And in training camp, Young said he wasn’t the type of person to “shy away” from leading the pack. “I’ve been playing football my whole life for these type of moments,” Young said. But at 27, Young is a different leader than he was at 21. In Washington, Young was an emotional leader whose boisterous personality drew people in. He’d hype teammates up, calling them “dogs” and “dudes.” He’d stroll up and down the sideline whenever he wasn’t on the ﬁeld. He would trash talk opponents, backing up his words with dominant play.

One of the deﬁnitions of value is if you weren’t at work, would you be missed? There was a drastic change in our defense with him back.”

Kellen Moore was amused. “Chase had half a dozen sacks?” the Saints coach asked, smiling and shaking his head. “He’s never jumped offsides and he’s got a million sacks. So that’s Chase for ya.” The Saints, particularly under this coaching staff, have learned to let Chase Young be Chase Young. That means not only accepting his personality — but also understanding how to tap into the defensive end’s potential. The latter idea can take shape in a myriad of ways, such as not pressuring him to return early from an injury last season or staying in constant communication even during the offseason. “They let me be loud,” Young said. “They let me be me.” The approach is how Staley ended up receiving text messages from Young throughout the spring, featuring clips of the pass rusher working out. Away from the Saints’ facility, Young would chronicle his two-a-days and send them to his coordinator. The workouts would begin around 10 a.m., break for lunch and then pick back up for another few hours. Young estimated he took only four days off the entire offseason. This, of course, will mean little without production. Before his sophomore slump, Young would send then-Washington coach Ron Rivera similar updates on his training, only to bafﬂe the coach come the fall when Young was pressing to make plays that weren’t there. Still, there are significant differences between now and then — the kinds that suggest Young has matured as he’s gotten older. Five years ago, Young skipped Washington’s voluntary workouts to film commercials that came with his rising stardom. The pass

Count former Saints quarterback and current Detroit Lions quarterbacks coach Mark Brunell in that group. Speaking with reporters in Detroit, Lions defensive coordinator (and former LSU linebacker) Kelvin Sheppard recalled his introduction to Shough during the pre-draft process last year when he was sitting in on a scouting meeting with Brunell. “I remember Mark Brunell raving about this kid,” Sheppard said. “I believe, if I’m not mistaken, he had him No. 1. There were some pretty good quarterbacks that came out of that group, and he put him one, and I’m like, ‘Who’s that kid?’ Shough ended up going to the Saints 40th overall as the third quarterback selected. He started nine games for a Saints team that was 1-7 when he took over, and Shough led them to a 5-4 record in those contests. Despite starting a little more than half the season, Shough ranked second among rookie passers in passing yards (2,384) and led all of them in gamewinning drives (3). He also led all rookie passers in completion percentage and success rate. “Now I turn on the tape, and I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s the kid you were talking about, Bru. Damn, that’s the kid. Oh, I see it,’ ” Sheppard said.

rusher sent those updates to Rivera in part to assure the coach he was still working hard. But this year, Young’s messages got to Staley while the pass rusher continued to show up to the facility for New Orleans’ scheduled work. Young has consistently attended New Orleans’ offseason program since arriving in 2024. “He came back (to training camp) in premium condition,” Staley said. At one point in camp, Staley told reporters that Young has made as much progress as any player that he’s coached this late into their career. That, to be clear, is not normal. Players in Year 7, if they even make it that far, are either in the midst of their prime or reaching the tail end of it. But Young is not normal. He plays with a rare blend of speed and power. And even when injuries threatened to take that away from him, Young’s drive ensured that wouldn’t happen. And he found a home that could bring the best out of him. Staley said the biggest thing he’s learned about Young since they’ve started working together is the edge rusher’s “desire to be a great player.” Young finally reached doubledigit sacks for the first time last year. The pass rusher has not only developed a better repertoire over the years of when to use certain techniques, but in 2025, he reached the point where the defense dramatically improved once he made his season debut. In the five games without Young, the Saints had a 24.3% pressure rate. With Young? The Saints posted a pressure rate of 35.3%, which would have put them in the upper half of the league. “One of the definitions of value is if you weren’t at work, would you be missed?” Staley said. “There was a drastic change in our defense with him back.” Said Young: “Every player hits (their prime) differently.” At 27, Young is now the same age that Khalil Mack was when Staley first got to coach the edge rusher as the outside linebackers coach for the Chicago Bears. Staley, who normally avoids these types of comparisons, noted that Mack arrived in Chicago already having established his credentials. The two-time AllPro, with a Defensive Player of the Year trophy under his belt, was seen as the league’s best edge rusher. But … “One more big year and then he’s going to be in that same spot Khalil was in terms of their career arc,” Staley said. And Staley has confidence that bold prediction can happen. He said Young believes in himself and is willing to put in the work, just as the other great edge rushers Staley has coached. This year, Young will do so with a captain’s “C” on his chest. “He’s shown us why we should believe in him,” Staley said. “And we think that he’s gonna be a monster, because he’s showing us every day that he can be the best player on the field.” Email Matthew Paras at matt. paras@theadvocate.com

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL Sept. 11

1912 — Eddie Collins set a major league record with six stolen bases for the Philadelphia Athletics in a 9-7 win over the Detroit Tigers. Collins stole six more in a game on Sept. 22. 1918 — The Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 behind the three-hit pitching of Carl Mays to win the World Series in six games. This was Boston’s third championship in a four-year stretch — 1915, 1916 and this season. 1936 — Hod Lisenbee of the Philadelphia A’s tied a major league record for hits allowed, giving up 26 in a 17-2 rout by the Chicago White Sox. 1949 — The New York Yankees sent 18 men to the plate in the third inning of the ﬁrst game of a doubleheader against Washington. In the 50-minute half-inning the Senators walked a major-league record 11 batters as the Yankees went on to a 20-5 win. New York won the second game 2-1 in one hour and 22 minutes. 1959 — The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4, putting an end to reliever Roy Face’s 22-game winning streak. It was his only loss of the season as he ﬁnished with an 18-1 record. 1974 — It took the St. Louis Cardinals 25 innings — seven hours, four minutes — to beat the New York Mets. A record 202 batters went to the plate, Felix Millan and John Milner had 12 appearances apiece. 1985 — Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds became the all-time hit leader with his 4,192nd hit to break Ty Cobb’s record. Rose lined a 2-1 pitch off San Diego pitcher Eric

Show to left-center field for a single in the first inning. It was the 57th anniversary of Ty Cobb’s last game in the majors. 1987 — New York Mets third baseman Howard Johnson, with 34 homers, became the first National League infielder to reach 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in the same season. His 30th stolen base came in the fourth inning of a 6-4, 10-inning loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. 1996 — San Diego’s Ken Caminiti broke his own major league record by homering from both sides of the plate in a game for the fourth time this season. In a 6-5 win over Pittsburgh, Caminiti homered left-handed in the fifth inning, hitting a two-run shot. Batting right-handed in the seventh, he hit a solo shot to break his record set last year. 2008 — Albert Pujols drove in his 100th run with a sixth-inning double in the Cardinals’ 3-2 loss to the Cubs, becoming only the third player in major league history to reach the milestone in his first eight seasons. Pujols also extended his major league-record streak of reaching 30 homers and 100 RBIs in his first eight seasons, two more than any player in history. 2014 — Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton sustained multiple facial fractures, dental damage and cuts that needed stitches after being hit in the face by a pitch. Stanton was hit under the left eye by a fastball from Milwaukee’s Mike Fiers in the fifth inning of a 4-2 loss. 2021 — Corbin Burns and Josh Hader of the Milwaukee Brewers throw a combined no-hitter to beat the Cleveland Indians 3-0. It was the record ninth no-hitter of the season.

‘It’s home’ How this kindhearted bartender builds community at a Mid-City watering hole

BY KASEY BUBNASH

Staff writer

Ronnie Pendleton’s favorite drink to pour is the same as his favorite to order: a beer and a shot. It’s timeless, consistent and gets the job done — kind of like Pendleton himself. Pendleton is known to many Mid-City residents for his work behind the bar at The Holy Ground Irish Pub, the homey corner bar where he’s built a following of regulars who adore him more for his comforting bedside manner than his skill at mixing specialty cocktails. He’s the kind of guy you can count on to remember your order, who will still be there late at night after a long shift, who will cut you off when you need it most. He’s loved by his coworkers and customers alike, described by his boss as the best employee he’s ever had, ever reliable and always on his game. “He’s everyone’s favorite bartender’s favorite bartender,” friend and regular Hannah Landrum says while sitting at the bar sipping her usual, Espolón Blanco with a cranberry back.

Bartender Ronnie Pendleton pours a shot at the Holy Ground in New Orleans on Aug. 27.

Landrum first visited Holy Ground when she moved to the neighborhood at the beginning of 2025. She didn’t know many people in Mid-City, but Pendleton made sure to make her feel seen. Back then, her go-to drink was a frosty can of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Pendleton always had one cracked open and waiting for her by the time she made it in. “So I always felt kind of felt welcome here,” Landrum says. Though Pendleton describes himself as an introvert, you wouldn’t know it from the way he moves behind the bar, chatting up regulars as if they’re close friends, teasing customers with unconventional orders (“Are you okay?” Pendleton asks a couple who ordered two shots of Rumple Minze in late August). He handles even the most intoxicated of patrons with a gentle touch that could only come from years spent working in the wee hours of the morning. It’s meeting and connecting with new people that Pendleton says he likes most about his job. “I have met people from all walks of life,” he says, motioning to the regulars — musicians, lawyers and scientists by day — lining his bar. A Westwego native, Pendleton fell in love with bartending from the first shake of a margarita at the Harvey Texas Roadhouse where he worked when he was 21 years old. He started there as a server, but to him, it always seemed like bartenders had the most fun. He begged for two years before management agreed to give him a chance. It’s taken him some time to ﬁnd his place in the city, working stints at dive bars, upscale restaurants and everything in

Members of the Krewe of Dolly march in a past edition of the French Quarter Easter Parade.

The passing of American music icon Dolly Parton has saddened the singer’s worldwide fans. In New Orleans, it has a special impact on the women of the Krewe of Dolly, who have celebrated the feminist superstar for ﬁve years. The Carnival marching club has been planning a memorial parade, and now partnered with the city for a Celebration of Life event on Friday, Sept. 25. Soon after Parton’s death on Aug. 25, a state senator from her home state of Tennessee proposed a bill to create “9 to 5 Day” in the state on 9/25, a reference to one of her most popular songs. Mayor Helena Moreno and the New Orleans City Council also plan to recognize the day as “Dolly Day” in New Orleans and hope it can be “the beginning of a new annual krewe tradition,”

I don’t exin about it. Yours happens to still pect my friends to agree with me

on everything, but lately, the differences feel signiﬁcant enough that I’m questioning whether we still have the foundation for a healthy friendship. A couple of years ago, we had a major disagreement involving my long-term boyfriend, who is now my husband. She made strong judgments about him without really knowing him. Although we eventually moved past the argument, I don’t think our friendship ever fully recovered. Now I only see her every few months, and when I do, it often feels more obligatory than enjoyable. I’m also hesitant to bring her around my husband because I worry about making things awkward. She sometimes makes me feel guilty for not seeing her more, even though I feel like I’m usually the one reaching out and making plans.

I feel guilty because she was once one of the most important people in my life. We have so much history, and part of me wonders if I’m giving up on a friendship that deserves another chance. But another part of me wonders if I’m holding onto it because of who we used to be, rather than who we are today. I don’t want a dramatic falling out or a brutal cutoff. I just don’t want to spend the next several years forcing plans and feeling guilty about a friendship that no longer feels natural. Can I let this friendship quietly fade, or do I owe her an honest conversation before stepping away? If I do decide to let go, how can I do it graciously without making her feel abandoned or turning years of friendship into an ugly ending? — Outgrowing a Friendship

Dear Outgrowing: Not every friendship that lasts a long time is meant to last a lifetime. Sometimes people simply grow in different directions. Since this was once such an important friendship, I’d opt for a little honesty over simply fading away. Tell her gently that you feel you’ve grown apart and that forcing the friendship out of guilt isn’t fair to either of you. Maybe that conversation will remind you both why you became friends in the ﬁrst place and give you a chance to build a different kind of friendship now. Maybe it won’t, and that’s OK, too. Either way, you won’t be left wondering if you gave up too soon. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators. com.

TODAY IN HISTORY By The Associated Press Today is Friday, Sept. 11, the 254th day of 2026. There are 111 days left in the year. Today in history: On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed as 19 al-Qaida hijackers seized control of four jetliners, sending two of the planes into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania. It remains the deadliest terror attack in history. Also on this date: In 1789, Alexander Hamilton was appointed the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. In 1814, an American fleet scored a decisive victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Champlain in the War of 1812. In 1936, Boulder Dam — later renamed the Hoover Dam — began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a button in Washington to signal the startup of the dam’s first hydroelectric generator. In 1941, groundbreaking took place for the Pentagon. In 1954, the Miss America pageant made its network TV debut on ABC. In 1973, Chilean President Salvador Allende died during a violent military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. In 1985, Pete Rose, of the Cincinnati Reds, broke Ty Cobb’s

MLB career hits record with his 4,192nd hit. In 2008, presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama put aside politics as they visited ground zero together on the anniversary of 9/11 to honor its victims. In 2012, a mob armed with guns and grenades launched a nightlong attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost and a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. In 2023, over 4,000 people died and thousands more were missing after heavy rain from Mediterranean Storm Daniel caused two dams to collapse, ﬂooding the city of Derna, Libya. Today’s birthdays: Composer Arvo Pärt is 91. Film director Brian De Palma is 86. Singer-actordancer Lola Falana is 84. Musician Mickey Hart is 83. Guitarist Leo Kottke is 81. Actor Amy Madigan is 76.

Ronnie Pendleton tends the bar at the Holy Ground in New Orleans on Aug. 27.

BARTENDER

Continued from page 1D between over the past decade. A dedicated home cook (he shows off photos of a perfectly executed carrot cake cheesecake and elote shrimp and grits with chorizo) he once considered launching a popup of his own. But when he was hired at Holy Ground in 2022, it felt different. “It’s home,” Pendleton, now 35, says. “… There’s a difference be-

tween just slingin’ drinks and actually building a community and hanging out with your people.” Together, Pendleton says Holy Ground regulars and customers have built a culture of looking out for one another, and Landrum believes Pendleton has played a crucial role in cultivating that mindset. If you’re in need, he’ll have your back. If you’re lonely, he’ll be there with a drink poured and a shoulder to cry on. She credits him with helping her to ﬁnd a job and a whole new group of friends in Mid-City.

“I’m not your therapist,” reads a sign hanging behind the bar at Holy Ground, but Pendleton admits that to a lot of people, he really is. He even has a degree in psychology. “As cheesy as it is,” he says, “I genuinely love what I do and I love the community we’ve established.” Editor’s note: This story is the ﬁrst in a new series highlighting local bartenders.

A large contingent of Dollys participated in the recent Mid-Summer Mardi Gras parade in the Carrollton neighborhood. The Memorial Parade will begin at 5 p.m. at Louis Armstrong Park on the edge of the French Quarter. The route and other details of the celebration are still in the works, krewe founder Annie Wentz said, and updates will come via the krewe’s social media pages. “We’re New Orleans — we know how to celebrate the people who bring joy to the world, and there are few people who brought more

joy, love and kindness to others than Dolly Parton,” Moreno said in a statement. Since Parton’s death, the krewe has raised over $50,000 so far for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Louisiana, which would provide 1,500 books to New Orleans children for a year, the krewe said on Facebook. Parton will not be the ﬁrst celebrity to be honored with a Crescent City street parade. In 2022, actress Betty White was fêted with a second-line in the French Quarter. In 2016, rockers David Bowie and Prince were also sent off with high-spirited memorial marches, as was Michael Jackson in 2009. Email Doug MacCash at dmaccash@theadvocate.com.

Bridge By PHILLIP ALDER Sue Gardner, a Canadian journalist and former executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, said, “It’s a funny habit to write encyclopedia entries. It’s not a mass taste.” When Encyclopedia Britannica was still publishing its annual Yearbook, I wrote the bridge entry and did not consider it a funny habit — but each to her or his own taste. We could fill a chunk of an encyclopedia with deals in which players did not watch their entries carefully enough. In this layout, South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond ace. When East signals enthusiastically with his nine, West continues with the diamond king and another diamond. East wins the third trick with his queen and shifts to a spade. How should South continue? When South jumped to four hearts, he wondered if four spades might have been better, but had no sensible way to investigate. South must play his trump suit without loss. We all know the “eight ever” ditty that advises finessing as the percentage action. But should declarer cash a high heart first? If the suit is 3-2, South will get home if East has the queen and fail when West has her majesty. But if East started with four hearts, he is four times more likely to have the queen than West. (There are four low singletons that West can hold

garfield

Pearls Before swiNe

hagar the horriBle

and there is only one singleton queen.) So declarer should take two heart finesses, which requires two dummy entries. South must overtake his spade jack with dummy’s queen and play a heart to his jack. Then he should overtake his club king with dummy’s ace, repeat the heart finesse, draw trumps and claim. © 2026 by nEa, inc., dist. By andrews mcmeel syndication

ARTICLE III REDEVELOPMENT PROCESS Section 3.1 Generally.

MYHMC hereby appoints NOBC as its agent, with full power and authority to conduct on behalf of MYHMC all activities described in this Agreement and to take on behalf of MYHMC all actions and execute all documents as NOBC, through its CEO or other authorized officer(s) deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Project. MYHMC agrees to ratify any actions taken by NOBC pursuant to the authority granted herein, and further agrees that any prospective Developer or other third party may rely on the authority of NOBC to bind MYHMC as its agent under the Project Site Lease or any other document or agreement, subject, however, to any approvals by the Committee required hereunder.

Section 3.6 Selection of Developer and Development Plan. NOBC will review the RFP responses and, if there is at least one respondent that NOBC deems to be capable and qualified to construct and operate the Project, NOBC will select the finalist or finalists for presentation to the Committee.

Section 3.7 Parish and State Input. NOBC will keep the Parish and the State informed and consult with the Parish and the State throughout the RFP/RFQ process described in Sections 3.4 through 3.6 above, and will solicit input from the Parish and the State prior to selecting respondents that will be invited to respond to the RFP pursuant to Section 3.4 and selecting the finalist or finalists that submitted an RFP pursuant to Section 3.6. Section 3.8 Project Site Lease Execution. Following selection of the Developer by the Committee, NOBC and the Developer will finalize and execute the Project Site Lease, which will require the Developer to construct the Project in accordance with the Approved Development Plan.

In addition to the Approved Development Plan and any other provisions agreed to by NOBC and the Developer, the Project Site Lease must include obligations of the Developer to hold harmless and indemnify the Parties and their commissioners, board members, officers, agents, servants, and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against claims, demands, expenses, and liability arising out of injury or death to any person or the damage, loss, or destruction of any property which may result from any occurrence on the Project Site (except matters arising out of the negligence of an Indemnified Party but provided that the negligence of one Indemnified Party shall not be attributed to any other Indemnified Party), and to protect the Indemnified Parties through insurance maintained by the Developer and its sublessees. ARTICLE IV WEST END COMMITTEE Section 4.1 Establishment of Committee; Initial Members. The City and the Parish shall appoint members to a committee (the “Committee”) made up of five members (each a “Committee Member”).

Section 4.4 Removal of Committee Members. A Committee Member may only be removed with cause by the Party that appointed the Committee Member at any time upon written notice to such Committee Member. Each Committee Member shall serve for a term of 5 years or until the Committee Member’s earlier death, resignation, or incapacity. After the expiration of a Committee Member’s term of office, or after the death, resignation, or incapacity of a Committee Member, a successor shall be designated by the Party that appointed the Committee Member within thirty (30) days of such expiration of term, death, resignation, or incapacity. Section 4.5 Meetings of the Committee. (a) Regular Meetings. The Committee may, but is not required to, have regular meetings. Regular meetings (if any) shall take place according to the schedule determined by a majority of the Committee Members. (b) Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Committee may be called at any time by a majority of the Committee Members. Notice of the time and place of every special meeting of the Committee shall be given to each Committee Member by means of mail, personal delivery, telephone, facsimile, email, or other communication equipment, to be received no later than forty-eight (48) hours before the date of the meeting; provided, however, that any Committee Member present at a meeting shall be deemed to have received or waived notice of such meeting unless such Committee Member appears at the meeting for the sole purpose of objecting to the conduct of any business at the meeting on the ground that it is not lawfully convened. Notice of a meeting may be waived in writing at any time without specifying in such waiver the purpose of or the business transacted at such meeting. (c) Place of Holding Meetings. Regular and special meetings of the Committee shall be held at such place as a majority of the Committee Members may from time to time designate. (d) Quorum. At all meetings of the Committee, a majority of the Committee Members constitute a quorum for the transaction of business (whether or not voting on any particular matter), and the action of a majority of the Committee Members at a meeting at which a quorum is present is the action of the Committee, unless the concurrence of a greater proportion is required for such action by law or this Agreement. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of Committee, the Committee Members present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. (e) Open Meetings Law. All meetings of the Committee shall be public meetings and subject to the provisions of the Open Meetings Law, La. R.S. 42:11 et seq. ARTICLE V SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT La. R.S. 33:2740.70.11 creates a special taxing district that encompasses the Project Site (the “EDD”). If requested by the governing body of the EDD, the Parties will enter a cooperative endeavor agreement with the EDD, which may include the Developer, containing provisions regarding the levy and collection of the tax and application of the tax proceeds as those parties shall mutually agree upon. The Parties agree to otherwise cooperate with the EDD regarding the levy and collection of the tax and application of the tax proceeds. ARTICLE VI PERMITTING AND LAND USE The City and the Parish will cooperate with each other to minimize any delays or jurisdictional inconsistencies in the issuance of building permits and any other land use or other approvals required in connection with the Project. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City and the Parish will work together to provide a special intergovernmental development review procedure that convenes the Parish’s District 5 Councilmember (or their designee) and the City’s District A Councilmember (or their designee) along with Parish and City administrative/executive representatives with responsibilities for planning, public works, building permitting, fire and related development review functions to jointly and concurrently participate in review and any required decision making regarding any governmental approvals that are needed for the Project. ARTICLE VII UTILITIES, FIRE, AND HEALTH PROTECTION Pursuant to La. R.S. 33:1328 the City and the Parish each consent to the extension of any utility service from either parish into the other parish for service to the Project Site. Parish and District vests firefighters that have jurisdiction to act within the portion of the Project Site that is located in Orleans Parish with the authority, jurisdiction, rights, immunities, and privileges to carry out their duties within the portion of the Project Site that is located in Jefferson Parish. Parish further vests other non-police first responders that have jurisdiction to act within the portion of the Project Site that is located in Orleans Parish with the authority, jurisdiction, rights, immunities, and privileges to carry out their duties within the portion of the Project Site that is located in Jefferson Parish. City accepts, on behalf of all fire and other non-police first responders under its control, such jurisdiction, rights, immunities, and privileges. City further agrees to be the responder for such calls for service, and that it will render such services without cost to Parish or District. ARTICLE VIII TERM The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Effective Date; provided, however, that if the EDD is created and remains in existence after the 30th anniversary of the Effective Date, then this Agreement shall continue in effect until the EDD is dissolved, and further provided, however, that if the Project Site Lease is entered into and remains in existence after the 30th anniversary of the Effective Date, then this Agreement shall continue in effect until the Project Site Lease (including all extensions) expires or is otherwise terminated. ARTICLE IX DEFAULT Section 9.1 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” under this Agreement shall occur if any Party shall fail to observe or perform any material obligation hereunder and such failure shall continue for sixty (60) days after a non-defaulting Party shall have given the defaulting Party notice specifying such failure and demanding that the same be cured; provided, however, that if, by reason of the nature thereof, such failure cannot with due diligence be wholly cured within such 60 day period and the defaulting Party commences to cure the default within that 60 day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes to completion all work required to cure the default, then that 60 day period shall be extended for such time as may be necessary to complete the cure. Section 9.2 Remedies. Upon an Event of Default under Section 9.1 above, each Party may proceed to protect and enforce its rights hereunder through any legal means, including suit for specific performance or mandatory or prohibitory injunction, without the need to post bond or other security, which requirements are hereby expressly waived; provided, however, that consequential damages, including, but not limited to, loss of sales, income or profit, shall not be recoverable by any Party hereunder.

G §§ 70901-27). (c) The Recipient acknowledges that the General Terms and Conditions impose obligations on the Recipient and that the Recipient’s non-compliance with the General Terms and Conditions may result in remedial action, termination of the SS4A Grant, disallowing costs incurred for the Project, requiring the Recipient to refund to the FHWA the SS4A Grant, and reporting the non-compliance in the Federal-governmentwide integrity and performance system.

Note: Recipients with a procurement system deemed approved and accepted by the Government or by the Agreement Officer (the “AO”) are exempt from the requirements of this clause. See 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327.

This section will not apply to any agreements excluded from the City’s hiring requirements by City Code Sections 2-8(d) or (g).

The Contractor will promptly notify the City in writing of its intention to accept the other employment and will disclose all possible effects of the other employment on the Contractor’s performance of this Agreement. The City will make the final determination whether the Contractor may accept the other employment. G. Construction of Agreement. Neither party will be deemed to have drafted this Agreement.
