Mayor scales millage proposal to $26M administration says cuts to city departments possible

BY BEN MYERS Staff writer

Mayor Helena Moreno will seek to hike property taxes and generate only $26 million, far less than the $42 million the administration previously ﬂoated, a city ofﬁcial said on Friday after days of public

criticism about the city’s plans. Andrew Tuozzolo, special counsel to Moreno, said the administration would seek to “roll forward” only the millages tied to the city’s general fund, instead of all of the millages the city controls. To close a 2027 budget gap Moreno on Thursday pegged at $100

million, the administration will also make cuts to city departments that will cover about two-thirds of that amount. The other third is tied to existing services and programs the city needs new revenue to fund. “There are ongoing obligations of the city that we have partici-

pated in this year,” Tu o z z o l o s a i d . “We’ve got to be conscientious that we can’t do everything.” He said Moreno will provide deMoreno tails about the possible departmental cuts and the $26 million in proposed property tax increases

in her budget address to the City Council on Tuesday. The administration’s latest, less expensive plan comes after city officials publicly floated raising taxes to the tune of $42 million, but provided few other details about how many millages would be affected or what specific increase homeowners would see.

The Archdiocese of New Orleans this week denied that it is failing to live up to key provisions of the bankruptcy settlement it negotiated last year aimed at ending decades of secrecy around child sexual abuse by clergy. At a status conference Thursday before U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Meredith Grabill, archdiocese attorney Ian Gunn said the church has gone beyond what is legally required to implement new abuse reporting protocols and child protection measures — key terms of the $305 million settlement that ended the archdiocese bankruptcy after nearly six years. The hearing came just days after bankruptcy trustee Don Massey, an independent, court-appointed attorney charged with overseeing the settlement, raised concerns in a 45-page court filing about the church’s implementation of the nonmonetary provisions to date, saying it is “not demonstrating transparency nor a culture of change.” “The archdiocese has dedicated significant resources and efforts to make sure we’re in compliance,” Gunn said during the hearing this week. “We are proud of how we have been successful in implementing these nonmonetary provisions.” Massey’s filing asserted that the archdiocese in July “flatly refused” to investigate 11 priests and nuns accused of child sexual abuse whose names surfaced on bankruptcy claims documents. The names of the 11, who are both living and deceased and, in some cases appeared on multiple proofs of claims, have never been added to the church’s list of credibly accused clergy.

Trump to meet acting Venezuelan president

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will meet with Delcy Rodriguez, the acting president of Venezuela, for the first time next week since his administration carried out an operation to capture the nation’s former leader and effectively put Rodríguez in charge. The gathering in New York City between the two leaders will be a “pull-aside” — diplomatic speak for a meeting that is more casual than a formal bilateral sit-down — said Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Trump will be in town for the annual United Nations General Assembly. Waltz also told reporters on a Friday call that Trump will meet with Andy Burnham, the United Kingdom prime minister, and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The Trump-Burnham meeting will be their first since Burnham became prime minister in July. Trump also will meet with leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain. The meeting comes as the U.S. has struggled to find an endgame to the Iran war after more than six months. Rodríguez took over in Venezuela after a surprise U.S. military raid in January that captured then-leader Nicolás Maduro and brought him to the United States to face drug trafficking charges.

Iran war’s cost grows to $43.6B in new estimate

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military’s price tag for the Iran war has grown to $43.6 billion as of Sept. 3, according to a new estimate provided this week to lawmakers. The figure from U.S. Central Command, which oversees operations in the Middle East, offers the most up-to-date cost for the conflict since it was launched by the United States and Israel on Feb. 28. A Congressional Budget Office report released Tuesday said the war had cost $38 billion through Aug. 1 and will continue to rack up expenses of around $3 billion a month depending on the conflict’s intensity. The new breakdown, seen by The Associated Press and reported earlier by Punchbowl News, also showed the continued use of expensive munitions by American forces. Weapons costs jumped by more than $6 billion in just over a month, from $21.7 billion listed in the CBO report to $28.1 billion in U.S. Central Command’s estimate. The financial cost is just one measure of the impact of the Iran war, which also is affecting oil prices and the stock market and has led to deaths and injuries of American troops. The political costs will be calculated in November’s midterm congressional elections, with Republicans facing increasing headwinds from the war’s unpopularity.

Brazil arrests suspect in dozens of killings

SAO PAULO — Brazilian police said Friday they will reopen dozens of cases linked to a selfconfessed serial killer who was arrested as he attempted to escape dressed as a woman and carrying a child. Jorlan Lopes da Silva, 33, is suspected of killing at least 16 people in the region of Mulungu, in northeastern state of Paraiba. He was arrested on Sunday after a two-day search. Paraiba police spokeswoman Gerlane Pereira told The Associated Press that da Silva confessed to another 11 killings. Da Silva was captured on Sunday wearing a black dress with white stripes, a wig and painted nails. Police arrested two other suspects linked to the same criminal organization. Police said that the child he was carrying was not related to him. Police say Silva is a member of a criminal gang that has killed dozens of people in the region. He told ofﬁcers after his arrest that he had committed his ﬁrst killing at age 13. The region of Mulungu, where the killings took place, lies 1553 miles north of Rio de Janeiro.

Early voting starts in midterm elections Some states open polls in vote that could flip control of congress

BY ALI SWENSON, SARAH RANKIN and SARAH RAZA associated Press

HENRICO, Va. — In-person voting for this year’s midterm elections began Friday, ushering in the final six weeks for Americans to decide which party they trust to lead Congress through a cost-of-living crisis, a prolonged war in Iran and other pressing issues. Election administrators say they are prepared and confident the vote will be accurate and secure. Nevertheless, President Donald Trump has continued efforts to denigrate certain voting methods and reshape how elections are run, through court challenges, a federal hunt for noncitizen voters and a pressure campaign to force election officials to share sensitive voter data. Friday was the start of early voting in Virginia. Voters in a few other states, including Minnesota and South Dakota, can cast absentee ballots in person, typically at a local election office or voting center. More expansive early voting is scheduled to begin in those and other states in the coming weeks. Early voting for the Nov. 3 congressional midterms begins Oct. 20 in Louisiana. At a voting location in Fairfax, Virginia, 18-year-old college student Sanya Singhal was among the first to vote early in person Friday morning, arriving well before the site opened to get in line. “Why not just have a little fun in life, you know, try to be the first early voter?” she asked. “I really want to participate in my democracy.” At a voting location in suburban Richmond, a poll worker rang a bell as the building opened and about a dozen voters in line began to file in. Stephen Gura was excited to be the first.

alan Goldfarb, who said he will be out of town for the general election, casts his ballot Friday on the first day of early voting in minnesota at the elections & Voter Services building in minneapolis. “This election is critical. We need to stop the Trump agenda,” said Gura, who added that he voted for U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat, and Shannon Taylor, the Democratic nominee against Republican incumbent Rob Wittman in the 1st Congressional District. The Nov. 3 election includes votes for governor and state legislature in most states and will determine whether Republicans maintain control of the U.S. House and Senate. If Democrats retake Congress, it will alter the trajectory of the ﬁnal two years of Trump’s term, most likely leading to investigations and other oversight efforts. At the suburban Richmond voting center, a steady stream of voters ﬂowed in and out. William Curry, a 74-year-old retiree who described himself as a libertarian-leaning independent conservative, voted for Warner’s Republican challenger,

Bert Mizusawa, and Wittman. Curry said he generally approves of the job Trump has done, apart from the war with Iran. “He’s in a mess he can’t get rid of,” Curry said of the conflict. On a rainy day in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Bill Goehring, 67, said he voted early at the county office because he will be traveling later. He voted for a mix of Democrats and independents, and said Trump’s “dictatorial tendencies are bad for America.” John Thomas, a conservative retired police officer at the Sioux Falls office, said his biggest concerns were public safety and election integrity. He said he doesn’t want to see votes in federal elections from immigrants living in the country illegally. Such fraudulent voting has been found to be extremely rare. Trump’s immigration agenda is “spot on,” the 77-year-old said.

“We wouldn’t be a country that much longer if it had stayed the same for another four years,” he said. The start of early voting comes at a time of deep angst and division among many Americans about issues including rising gas and grocery prices, the war in Iran, the looming risks of artificial intelligence and Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement campaign. It also follows an unprecedented spate of mid-decade redistricting for the House that began when Trump urged the Republicancontrolled legislature in Texas to redraw its congressional map to help the party. California and other states followed. The changes affect millions of people: Research shows 1 in 10 Americans this fall is a resident of a different congressional district than in 2024. Those partisan efforts are expected to continue before the 2028 elections after a landmark ruling this year from the U.S. Supreme Court weakened the federal Voting Rights Act’s protections against racially discriminatory redistricting. As the start of early voting approached, Trump was focused on efforts to assert federal control over election administration, even as the Constitution bestows the power to run elections on the states and, in some cases, Congress. The nation’s highest court this week rejected Trump’s bid to restrict mail ballots, but several of his administration’s other efforts to inﬂuence the voting process and investigate state voter lists continue. Virginia’s Democratic attorney general warned Thursday that Trump’s administration may have violated the state’s laws after a whistleblower accused federal employees of misrepresenting themselves on voter lookup tools to hunt for noncitizen voters. Trump for years has raised the specter of widespread noncitizen voting in U.S. elections, and this year is no exception. But research continues to show noncitizen voting is exceptionally rare.

Holdout juror says he Trump announces deal to bolster has no doubts Clancy U.S. military presence in Greenland responsible in killings BY AAMER MADHANI

BY MICHAEL CASEY associated Press

BOSTON — The lone juror who wanted to convict Lindsay Clancy of murder for killing her three children said he was certain of her guilt, but that other jurors wouldn’t listen to him, according to a statement released by his lawyer Friday in his ﬁrst public comments on the case. Eleven of 12 jurors were ready to clear Clancy of criminal responsibility, with the majority feeling that the Massachusetts mom was in the grip of a rare condition called postpartum psychosis when she strangled her kids. But juror Michael Desronvil sided with the prosecutors, who had argued that Clancy knew what she was doing. “I didn’t have any doubts,” Desronvil said in a statement released on X by his lawyer, Edward Paltzik. The jury’s foreperson had claimed in an earlier media interview that Desronvil had admitted having “reasonable doubt” about Clancy’s guilt, but wanted to convict her anyway. Desronvil said that wasn’t true. “As I tried to explain different possible theories during deliberation, I kept getting cut off as if I had doubts based on the evidence presented,” he wrote. “Based on all the physical evidence, key witnesses, and what the prosecution presented, I thought it was enough proof that she (Clancy) knew exactly what she was doing and planned.” The jury’s deadlock forced the judge to declare a mistrial on Sept. 4, leaving the case un-

resolved. The Plymouth County district attorney has yet to say whether he’ll seek to put Clancy on trial again. Neither side disputed that Clancy strangled her children, Cora, Dawson and Callan, in the family’s home in 2023 before trying to end her own life. But her attorney said she was a loving mother experiencing deep delusions and other mental health problems, for which she had been getting treatment. Since the trial ended, Desronvil has been both publicly praised and scorned for his actions, and his personal life and past ﬁnancial and legal problems have become the subject of scrutiny by the news media and amateur sleuths. Among the public revelations: He had a restraining order against him at the time of jury selection and was facing eviction from his apartment due to over $12,000 in unpaid rent. He also was accused of domestic violence in 2021, a charge that was later dismissed. Some of the opinion has fallen along political lines, with Desronvil being praised by some conservative pundits as a hero. Paltzik, whose past clients have included President Donald Trump and Martin Shkreli, said on X that Desronvil was in “an undisclosed secure location” in a rural part of northern New England and would not be giving interviews. “As a devoted father and man of God, he will not be defeated or shattered by the wicked who wish harm upon him,” Paltzik wrote.

Trump targets news outlets with White House ban President says he’ll bar cnn, mS noW and Politico

BY JOCELYN NOVECK

aP national writer

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump said Friday that he was barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House due to what he called unfavorable coverage and “fake news,” and threatened that more such media bans could be coming — the latest salvo in the president’s increasingly aggressive response to media coverage he ﬁnds unfavorable. Like many of Trump’s other confrontations with news organizations — some of which are playing out in the legal arena — this one has potential First Amendment implications. The president wrote on his social media site that effective immediately, “I am banning” CNN, MS NOW and Politico “from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” Minutes later, speaking at an event in the Oval Ofﬁce, Trump was asked to explain

his statement. “Because they’re fake news,” he said. “You get so tired of reading and seeing fake news. When you look at CNN, it’s just fake. That’s why their ratings are no good. When you look at MS NOW … , it’s fake news.” “And when you look at Politico ... the stories they wrote are fake. So there’s a lot of news and there may be others to join them, and maybe they can get better,” he said. “But our country has to have honest news.” CNN denounced the move, saying it stands behind its White House team and their “fair and accurate reporting.” “We have a right under the U.S. Constitution to do that reporting without hindrance or interference from the government,” it said in a statement posted on X. “Should the ban which President Trump threatened go ahead, it would be an illegal assault on that fundamental and constitutionally-protected right.” Politico said it would “continue to fairly report on this White House and future ones. We will vigorously defend our First Amendment rights against any attempt to restrict them.” MS NOW did

In his second term, Trump and his administration have upped the ante and punished certain media outlets, both in the courtroom and through regulatory action. Trump has also lashed out at individual reporters in person or over social media, sometimes in strikingly personal terms. The move follows the president’s decision last year to

keep Associated Press journalists out of the Oval Ofﬁce, Air Force One and other events in retaliation for the news outlet’s decision not to follow his lead in changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico, which lies partially in Mexican and other waters. The AP said that it would note when appropriate that Trump had ordered it renamed the “Gulf of America.” The AP filed suit and the

case is ongoing. Since returning to ofﬁce, Trump has pursued other legal action against a variety of different outlets, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the BBC. His administration is also involved in a long-simmering confrontation involving ABC over renewal of its broadcast licenses. Trump seeking to block White House access for CNN is especially notable, as

it could upend the traditional ﬁve-network television pool that travels with the president and tracks his every move — meant to provide independent coverage of his actions and interactions for the Americans who elected him and for the world. In his social media announcement, Trump did not provide details on how the ban would be implemented. It came moments before Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Ofﬁce as part of a healthcare event. He later planned to take the press pool to his golf club in Virginia for a meeting and dinner sponsored by his Super PAC before spending the weekend at Camp David — one of the few places reporters don’t follow him. “Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America,” Trump wrote. “Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.” At the event, Trump doubled down on his opinions about various media outlets. “The New York Times is so fake. Washington Post is disgusting,” he said.

Border wall building begins in Texas’ Big Bend region BY REBECCA SANTANA associated Press

COMSTOCK,Texas — The Trump administration has started building the border wall through a west Texas section of the Big Bend region, marking the ﬁrst major construction in an area of the U.S.-Mexico border where the administration’s plans have met with heavy opposition. The start of construction marks an important milestone in the administration’s $46 billion plan to line the border with walls, barriers, roads and technology as it seeks to make good on a key campaign promise by President Donald Trump to ﬁnish the wall. And it comes as Customs and Border Pro-

tection says it has doubled the pace at which it is building the wall across the U.S.Mexico border. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement to The Associated Press that “border wall panel installation is underway” in a 47-mile stretch of Hudspeth County in west Texas known as Big Bend 1. There are a total of ﬁve project areas that make up the roughly 500-mile Big Bend region stretching from an area of Hudspeth County south of El Paso to Lake Amistad. The agency did not say when the panels had been installed. On a map on the agency’s website where it posts updates of wall construction across the entire southern border, a photo

showed a crane lifting one of the 30-foot-tall steel wall panels into place while construction workers looked on. The new activity was separate from a border infrastructure project in the nearby Big Bend National Park, where the administration has temporarily suspended construction in an attempt at outreach to opponents. In the broader Big Bend region of Texas, CBP has run up against concerted opposition from landowners, environmental groups, business owners and ranchers who say the remote region isn’t a high trafﬁc area for illegal immigration. Activists said Friday they would continue opposing the border infrastructure projects in the rest of the

Big Bend region, even as the panels were being installed. Clara Benson, one of the founders of the No Big Bend Wall Coalition which has been ﬁghting against CBP’s plans, said in an interview Friday that the organization had been receiving reports of trucks moving supplies into the remote area along the Rio Grande and that contractors had been clearing yards to stage supplies. But speaking from Washington, D.C. where she and others in the coalition were meeting with lawmakers,

ST. PAUL, Minn. — An immigration ofﬁcer pleaded not guilty Friday to federal charges that he lied to the FBI about being attacked before he shot and wounded a Venezuelan man during the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis early this year. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ofﬁcer Christian Castro appeared before a U.S. magistrate judge after prosecutors indicted him this month on six federal counts of making false statements about the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Cesar SosaCelis. Castro, in a black suit and with an electric monitor visible at his ankle, said very little during the hearing. He

was suspended without pay by ICE earlier this year. Castro’s federal hearing came a day after he appeared in state court on assault charges and was released from custody. His defense attorney, Daniel Gerdts, declined to comment on the case as he left the courthouse Friday. The court proceedings followed months of legal battles over whether Castro, 52, would be extradited from Texas, his home state, to face charges in Minnesota. He ended up returning on his own after being freed from a Texas jail last month. The case was quickly pulled into national politics. Minnesota is a frequent target of President Donald Trump, who regularly derides Democratic Gov. Tim

Walz, who ran as the vice presidential candidate in the last presidential election, as well as Rep. Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Trump ally, at times tied his refusal to sign Castro’s extradition warrant to ongoing investigations of massive fraud in government social service programs in Minnesota. Trump used the fraud investigations to justify the crackdown. In both the federal and state cases against Castro, prosecutors say he shot 24-year-old Sosa-Celis in the leg while ﬁring through the front door of a Minneapolis home. They say Castro later lied to investigators when he told them he had been attacked with a broom handle and a snow shovel before ﬁring his gun.

Trump signs Russia sanctions bill BY SEUNG MIN KIM associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday signed into law a sweeping sanctions package targeting Russian ofﬁcials and key pillars of its economy that is meant to punish and pressure Moscow for its ongoing war against Ukraine. The measure was a final legacy item for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a close ally and friend of the president who had just returned from Ukraine when he unexpectedly died in July. In the works for more than a year, the bill passed with large bipartisan margins: 8611 in the Senate and 262-159

in the House. It’s meant to starve Russian President Vladimir Putin of the resources Moscow needs to continue its war in Ukraine after invading its neighbor more than four years ago. The bill, also drafted by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., sanctions Russian officials, banks and a shadow fleet of tankers that keeps Russian energy moving. It also directs Trump to impose up to 100% tariffs on the top five importers of Russian oil or natural gas, with an exception for countries that import less than 15% of Russia’s natural gas exports and have taken significant steps to reduce those imports.

“If he were here today, he would be jubilant about our bill’s passage — and already thinking about the next one,” Blumenthal said of Graham after the House passed the legislation Wednesday evening. Blumenthal added, “Putin is a thug who understands only force and strength, which is what we must show clearly and unequivocally.” Despite overwhelming support on Capitol Hill, the legislation faced criticism from a vocal set of Democratic lawmakers who warned that Trump could use his new expanded tariff powers to impose fresh levies in the European Union and elsewhere.

nation of 30-foot-tall steel bollard walls, barriers designed to stop vehicles from crossing the border, new patrol roads and various technologies to deter and detect migrants or smugglers from crossing the border. Customs and Border Protection said that they are building an average of 12 miles of barriers a week across the 2,000-mile border with Mexico and recently hit a milestone of 200 miles of new barriers built since the second Trump administration took ofﬁce.

Louisiana remains the state with the highest percentage of residents living in poverty even as the national rate has declined over the past three years, according to new data released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau. The report, which does not include data for 2026, comes as state leaders have touted new billion-dollar business developments, including a planned Meta data center in Richland Parish and

erty rate from 2023 to 2025 was 19.6%, nearly twice the national rate and edging out Mississippi’s rate of 17.6%. That rate, based on residents’ pretax income, has slightly increased from the 19.4% average calculated from 2022 to 2024. Nationwide, the poverty rate sat at 10.7% over the past three years, down from 11.1%. Louisiana also saw the highest supplemental poverty measure, a broader measure that accounts for various government beneﬁts and other factors. The state’s rate

continued from page 1a — for church meetings, alumni gatherings, restaurant menus, you name it — are flooding Instagram feeds, email inboxes and coffee shop bulletin boards. It’s a quick and low-cost way to get a message out there, and even the leaders at Haydel’s acknowledge it has its benefits. But in New Orleans and other cities, the ubiquity is creating its own backlash, and do-it-yourselfers are starting to grab more attention. Flyers that are drawn, painted or otherwise crafted by human hand have become a quiet form of protest, their makers say, against what feels like the encroachment of AI into every facet of daily life. Bands are discouraged from using AI-generated flyers to promote gigs at certain bars. Radio hosts are signing off with a promise to remain “guaranteed human.” And local businesses like Bywater Bakery that have leaned on AI designs for convenience in the past are moving away from it now. At Holy Diver, a metal and punk bar in the 7th Ward, co-owner Nick Jarrett uses an old-fashioned sheet of paper and marker to draw out the bar’s lineup each night. The internet is overrun with AI-generated content, he said. Now it’s the human touch that stands out. “It’s not that hard,” Jarrett said. “It’s a touch of authenticity, it shows

names have been referred to the archdiocese’s Internal Review Board and that some, though not all, are under active investigation. None of the accused is still in active ministry, he said. It is not clear if or when their names will be released. The nearly three-hour hearing underscored the challenges that the nation’s second-oldest Roman Catholic diocese faces in rebuilding trust and credibility nearly nine months after one of the country’s longest and most contentious church bankruptcy cases was resolved. The settlement received the overwhelming support of abuse survivors, church insurers and bondholders. To date, none of the nearly 740 survivors eligible for a portion of the settlement funds has received Checchio a check, and many remain distrustful and hurt. Church officials, too, are frustrated. Archbishop James Checchio — who succeeded Archbishop Gregory Aymond in February, after the settlement was finalized — sat in the front row of Grabill’s court Thursday with two top clerics beside him. In remarks after the hearing, he took issue with Massey’s characterization in the court filing that the church’s behavior was “morally repugnant.” “That’s throwing gas on the situation, based on something that he thought he heard, that we didn’t do,” Checchio said. “That’s ridiculous and it’s unfortunate because people read that and it creates an impression.”

The state GDP grew 2.9% in the same period. The advocacy group Leaders for a Better Louisiana reported that Louisiana ranked third in the South for job growth in 2025, at 1.2%, adding 23,000 jobs with a 4.2% unemployment rate. The latest census numbers excluding 2026 leave out both recent economic development projects and the impact of cuts to beneﬁts like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Medicaid from the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The act ushered in new,

holds in the state on SNAP decreased from 396,857 in July 2025 to 320,603 by the end of June — a decline of 19.2%. Jan Moller, director of Invest in Louisiana, a Baton Rouge-based policy think tank, said the poverty rate was a grim statistic for Louisiana. “We used to say around here ‘thank God for Mississippi’ because Louisiana was always 49th and you could count on Mississippi being 50th. That’s not the case,” Moller said. “No matter what happens on the football field on Saturday,

keep money in our community by paying people to do these things.” It’s more complicated when it comes to policing the independent bands that play gigs at Holy Diver and provide their own ﬂyers, the bar’s co-owner Jarrett said. He tries to discourage the use of AI when necessary, directing bands to some of the many local tattoo artists who frequent the bar. But if a musician uses a little AI here and there and it’s not too obvious, Jarrett said he’s OK with it. His own team uses some AI to format the weekly calendar. They leave it at that though. At a bar where younger bands regularly include anti-AI themes in their music, it’s just not punk, he said.

Not punk Marc Bruckel, the chef behind St. Roch Tavern’s Colombian residency El Caimán Gordo, paid $70 recently to a local artist who painted a watercolor ﬂyer that he uses to get the word out about his offerings. She has a little piece of land where she raises guinea pigs, and Bruckel likes to imagine that he

Grabill acknowledged the difficulties, saying the recent assertions in court documents “saddens me because the litigation is over.” “It was a hard-fought six years. Now, we’re turning the page,” Grabill said. “We have a beautiful conﬁrmed plan. We have nonmonetary provisions that are a standard for the nation, but the devil is in the details.”

Allegations, investigations In his court filing Sept. 13, Massey said he and attorneys for some abuse survivors wrote to the archdiocese’s Vicar of the Clergy in July seeking an investigation of the 11 clergy members not on the ofﬁcial credibly accused clergy list. Two of the 11 are named in 11 claims each, court documents show. Massey said the allegations had previously been found by the archdiocese’s own Internal Review Board to be credible but that the names were never added to the list. Standing before Grabill Thursday, Massey said he is “willing to talk to anyone who will talk to me to get those names out there — and I am stuck — and if I seem frustrated I am.” Gunn argued that the names could not be made public because under the terms of the settlement, a survivor has to formally request that the Internal Review Board conduct an investigation into an alleged abuser before they can launch a probe. Grabill said she thinks “a lot of what is going on is a failure in communication … and I want to use this forum to clear the air to make sure we are all on the same page.” Following the hearing, the archdiocese further clariﬁed the status of the 11.

When he paid a local food photographer about $150 to take 50 photos of his heaping plates of arepas and chicharron (menus featuring AI-generated images of food are his biggest pet peeve right now), he and the photographer became quick friends. Now she’s a recurring customer. “In the bigger scope of things, it’s outsourcing everything to a corporation,” Bruckel said of why he decided to go local. “We can

Board. One is a deceased priest from an order in another state, so, also, would not be subject to local review by the archdiocese. Two are deceased archdiocesan priests who will be reviewed by the IRB because they are named in bankruptcy claims, though they will not be fully investigated because they are deceased. Two other local priests — one deceased, one retired and now living out of state — have previously been named, though not in bankruptcy claims, so they are not currently under review. The retired priest is not in active ministry, the archdiocese said. It is not clear if he is in a position where he could be near children. Three other archdiocesan priests, all named in bankruptcy claims, are currently under investigation. The archdiocese said they are not in active ministry. It is not clear when they were removed from ministry. One archdiocesan priest is under investigation because a survivor submitted a written request asking for the probe. That priest is not in active ministry, the archdiocese said. It remains unclear if or when the names of the 11 will be made public, which Massey has said is essential to the validation survivors of abuse need for healing.

More small groups? One of the other issues that surfaced Thursday was survivors’ request that Checchio schedule a new round of small group meetings with the survivors to let them share their stories, their pain and their anger at the church. Part of the settlement provisions required Aymond to hold small group meetings with survivors, which were held early this year over two weekends. But they were poorly attended, in part, Massey said, because they coincided with Super Bowl

Several locals said it was fun to see what AI could do when programs like DALL-E and ChatGPT were first released to the wider public a few years back. Now, much of it looks the same. AI created flyers for events and business advertising regularly feature similar formatting and color schemes. “AI flyers are just ugly,” said DJ Toki Doki Hoe, one of the anonymous performers behind Delirium Aura dance parties. They spend anywhere from an hour to a week drawing out bubbly, colorful flyers on Procreate or by hand, each one attuned to every individual event’s theme. “If you don’t care about your flyer, you don’t care about your

Sunday and Mardi Gras and also because they were held in parish buildings, not neutral facilities. Massey suggested at the hearing that a new round of meetings could be held in an empty courtroom in the federal building. Checchio said Thursday he is open to the possibility. But he expressed frustration with what he said appears to be an effort to change and expand nonmonetary provisions that have already been negotiated and settled. He said he has met with nearly 20 survivors, individually at their request and locations of their choosing, since coming to New Orleans last November and continues to keep a weekly slot open on his calendar for survivors. “If people have suggestions, we’re all ears,” Checchio said. “But when we

The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, expected to be released before the end of the year, is likely to provide a clearer picture of poverty in Louisiana, according to Moller. The survey collects detailed social, economic, housing and demographic information from a sample of U.S. households.

event,” the DJ said. But a handmade flyer doesn’t have to be overly labor intensive. Heather Valenzuela has been hosting line-dance classes and parties under the Giddy Up Two Step brand since 2023. She’s creative in a lot of ways, but said graphic design isn’t one of them. A one-woman show who schedules several events and classes each month, Valenzuela has little time to spend drawing. She keeps her ﬂyers simple and to the point, usually using Canva or Adobe, out of necessity. Valenzuela was one of several New Orleanians who pointed to concerns about AI data centers going up on Louisiana’s coast and their rates of water consumption. Plus, she’s noticed recently it’s the handmade online flyers that are “borderline too basic” that often perform the best on social media. In this digital era, she said she thinks people are just starved for something real, something tangible, something obviously human. “I’m gonna keep it organic, I’m gonna keep it human and I’m gonna keep it real as long as I can,” she said. For many, including Haydel’s Bakery, that strategy is working. Co-owner David Haydel said the idea for his brother’s post came from the bakery’s social media team, which watches for trends online that align with Haydel’s values. “AI has it’s place,” Haydel said. “But as far as promotion and things like that, here we really let our product do the talking.”

Volunteer ﬁre chief punished over burn, arrest Supreme court backs 15-day suspension BY JOHN SIMERMAN Staff writer

The Louisiana Supreme Court endorsed a 15-day suspension this week for a justice of the peace who was arrested for an altercation with a local police chief at the scene of a ﬁre he’d set during a statewide burn ban. Chris Lemoine, a justice of the peace in Avoyelles Parish, also serves as the volunteer ﬁre chief in Cot-

tonport. He granted himself an exception to the burn ban on Aug. 20, 2023. Lemoine’s “controlled” burn spread after he and a ﬁre captain went down the street and drank beers, according to the Louisiana Judiciary Commission. Lemoine then downplayed the ﬁre’s impact with an emergency dispatcher, saying it was contained to an empty lot. In reality, the blaze alit “an abandoned wooden struc-

ture, brush and trees, and electrical poles and lines,” the commission alleged. A pair of Cottonport police officers arrived and sent photos to then-Police Chief Jennifer Lofton. When she arrived, Lemoine became aggressive. He “admitted ‘it got a little bit out of hand after that’ and you put your ﬁnger in her face and might have slipped and touched her,” the commission alleged. The police chief said Lem-

oine shoved four ﬁngers into her chest, bruising her left pectoral muscle, and yelled that she was out of her jurisdiction “and to mind her own business.” Lemoine admitted he drank “about six beers” within a three-hour period leading up to the altercation. “I was burning a pile of brush on my property, the structure that caught fire was abandoned for years and it did belong to me,” he wrote in response to the misconduct allegations. Lemoine says he was less than 100 yards away from

the burn. He also disputed that he could have caused the injury Lofton alleged. “Maybe when I put my ﬁngers by her chest she took it as me pushing her but I did not by no means want it to go that far,” he wrote. Lemoine could not be reached Thursday by phone or email. Lofton called the resolution “disgusting and disappointing,” a slap on the wrist. “If it was me, it would be the worst punishment ever,” she said. Three of the seven justices — William Burris, John Mi-

chael Guidry and Jay McCallum — also found the punishment for Lemoine too lenient in dissents. The agreement the majority approved also calls for Lemoine to pay $839 in commission costs. District Attorney Charles Riddle engineered a resolution of the criminal case against Lemoine, who was indicted on counts of battery of a police ofﬁcer and resisting an ofﬁcer. He entered a pretrial diversion program and later had the case expunged from his record.

Healthy Blue ending La. Medicaid plan nearly 300,000 residents will need to choose new coverage

BY ALYSE PFEIL Staff writer

About 290,000 people who get Medicaid through the Healthy Blue plan will soon have to choose a new insurer after one of the ﬁve companies that offer Medicaid in the state decided to pull out of Louisiana. The Louisiana Department of Health announced this month that Healthy Blue, which is owned by parent company Elevance Health, will no longer provide Medicaid coverage in Louisiana beginning Jan. 1. The Health Department is working to ensure doctor’s visits and medications stay covered for the roughly 290,000 people switching plans, Health Secretary Bruce Greenstein told a panel of state lawmakers Thursday. In Louisiana, about 1.3 million are on Medicaid, a government-funded health insurance program for

continued from page 1a That set off a ﬁrestorm of criticism from residents and calls for transparency from some council members. District E council member Jason Hughes, the lone council vote against the administration’s controversial sanitation fee hike this month, said this week the administration needs to be transparent and leave time for the public to consider a tax hike. “Any tax increase, period, that’s going to be bear by the taxpayers should be thoroughly vetted by the taxpayers in a very transparent manner,” Hughes said. “I don’t think that was done with the sanitation fee.” Hughes texted on Friday that he wants to see a detailed plan before commenting further.

Impact of increase Tuozzolo said on Friday that the city would receive $42 million if it rolled forward of all millages under City Council control, including those tied to external agencies, such as City Park and the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. The city’s chief administrative officer, Joe Giarrusso, cited this ﬁgure initially because officials believed that state law required notifying the public of greatest possible impact, Tuozzolo said. But Tuozzolo said on Friday that the administration plans to limit its proposal to millages that support the city’s general fund, and largely make cuts to close the gap. The proposed cuts will be worked out with council members, who could decide to take programs and services off of the chopping block, he said. A public hearing on the plan is scheduled for Nov. 5. The general fund is supported by millages for public safety, recreation and general city expenses. Those millages can be rolled

poor and disabled people. Healthy Blue members will have the option to select one of Louisiana’s four other Medicaid plans during a special enrollment period Oct. 15 to Nov. 16, Medicaid Director Seth Gold said. Aetna, AmeriHealth Caritas, Humana and Louisiana Healthcare Connections will continue to offer plans in Louisiana, which state ofﬁcials are set to renew for 2027. For anyone who misses the sign-up window this year, the Health Department will use algorithms to select a new plan for participants, Gold said. The goal is to both keep family members on the same plan and ensure a person’s primary care doctor and pharmacy beneﬁts continue to be covered based on claims data, Gold said. Healthy Blue members will also have three additional windows to switch plans next year, he said.

decision to the company. Healthy Blue did not respond to questions about why it is leaving Louisiana and what led to the decision. “Since 2012, it has been our privilege to serve Louisiana Medicaid members,” a statement from the organization said. “Our focus remains on serving Medicaid members through December 31, 2026,” the statement said. “Until then, members should continue to use their Healthy Blue beneﬁts and get the care and services they need.” This summer, multiple outlets reported that Elevance Health, Healthy Blue’s parent company and one of the largest managed care companies in the U.S., planned to downsize its Medicaid business in a number of states due to weak profit margins. This is the second insurer to stop offering a Medicaid plan in Louisiana this year, though the circumFrom six plans to four stances are unrelated.

forward by a maximum of 4.51 mills, which would result in a $112 increase in the annual tax bill for a $300,000 home with a homestead exemption, according to the Orleans Parish Assessor’s Ofﬁce. “We’re not jamming this down anyone’s throat,” Tuozzolo said. “Over the next month and a half, as we present these options, we will talk to the council. We’re going to present to them.” Residents at public hearings on the city’s budget and council members alike said this week that they need more details about what exactly will be sacrificed without a tax increase, especially after the Moreno administration and the council pushed through a sanitation fee hike this month despite strong public opposition. At a budget town hall meeting on Thursday, a District A resident, Michelle Graci-Janusa, wanted to know more about what would be lost should taxes stay the same. She said her district is already disproportionately taxed. “We are burdened with the majority of the tax revenue on our property taxes, and we are paying for the majority of the city. It’s becoming unfair,” Graci-Janusa said. For the moment, Moreno is saying one department will not be cut at all. That’s the New Orleans Recreation Department, which she has promised to revitalize while searching for a new director. “We can make NORD whatever we want NORD to be,” Moreno said at the town hall meeting on Thursday. “Yes, focus on sports, but also we can have a NORD that focuses on arts, visual arts and music. We can have a NORD that focuses on wellness activities.”

The millage rates rolled back to less than the maximum after the 2023 citywide reassessment raised property values by 18%. The 18% increase prompted a furious response from residents already dealing with runaway insurance premiums and spiraling inflation. The council — at that time including Moreno and her chief administrative officer, Joe Giarrusso — agreed with former Mayor LaToya Cantrell to keep property taxes level by rolling back the millage rates. The city was flush with federal pandemic aid at that time, making it easier to forego the windfall. It’s a much different picture now, after the city’s ongoing financial crisis surfaced last year, Cantrell’s last in office. Locally generated revenue next year is projected at $760 million, which is already $8 million less than what was forecast at a Sept. 10 meeting of the city’s Revenue Estimating Conference. Officials said Thursday the higher amount reflected an accounting error. The $760 million estimate is down from $895 million this year, as the administration cuts out one-time funding sources that make up nearly 20% of the budget. Next year’s estimate includes $11.5 million in one-time grant reimbursements, or less than 2% of revenue. Moreno’s budget proposal on Tuesday will reflect the $760 million revenue estimate, Tuozzolo said, and the administration is hoping the council will bump it up to about $790 million to keep essential programs and services. In addition to a millage roll forward, he said Moreno will propose increasing perTight revenue forecast mit fees and nightly shortA millage “roll forward” is term rental fees, which when the city increases mill- would combine for around age rates to the maximum $7 million. authorized by voters.

Greenstein told lawmakers he is confident the four remaining plans will remain available in the coming years. “I’ve spoken to the senior leadership in each these plans in their national office and have great assurance that none of them plan to leave,” he said. “We’re not concerned at all about having fewer plans.” In fact, some state officials and lawmakers have been pushing to reduce the number. Having fewer plans reduces the administrative burdens on healthcare providers and on the Health Department, Greenstein said. He also noted that having more people in each plan can lead to better services for patients. “When a plan can become more efficient, they can make more money, and then they can offer more benefits,” he said.

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

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

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.1

Previous dental work can wear out.

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

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

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

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

Lawyer: Cantrell, Vappie haven’t spoken

hearing held about grand jury transcripts BY JAMES FINN Staff writer

Just over a year ago, former New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell was accused in a federal indictment of carrying on a whirlwind romance with her police bodyguard. The two have not spoken since — at least not without attorneys present, Cantrell’s lawyer said

Ex-boyfriend found guilty in killing of judge’s niece Woman shot 19 times in 7th Ward street

Thursday. “She has not communicated with her co-defendant outside the presence of counsel,” defense lawyer Eddie Castaing told federal magistrate Judge Michael B. North at an evidentiary hearing. Castaing made that assertion as he sought to assuage North that Cantrell has closely followed her bail conditions since being arraigned last fall.

Both Cantrell and her former New Orleans Police Department bodyguard, Jeffrey Vappie, were barred from communicating with witnesses, including each other. (Vappie’s lawyers at one point asked a judge to allow him to speak with Cantrell while navigating “the greatest ordeal of his life.” A judge denied the request.) Prosecutors said the alleged romance between Cantrell and

Vappie spawned federal crimes when they spent government cash on a series of illicit trips, then deleted messages and lied to federal agents. They continue to Cantrell deny the alleged relationship. Their lawyers accuse prosecutors of treating an alleged affair as a federal crime. The assertion that Cantrell has not communicated with her

Cox’s rebrand becomes official

BY MATT BRUCE Johnshane “Nay” Powell writhed in pain on a 7th Ward street three years ago, shot 19 times. Her bones had shattered in a hail of bullets that flew from multiple directions. From the pavement, the 33-yearold mother of two daughters mustered up a final revelation, identifying her ex-boyfriend, Kelvin Atkins, as her assailant before she died in a New Orleans hospital. Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams raised a .40-caliber Glock pistol outfitted with a drum magazine Friday as he told jurors that Atkins, 39, used it to kill Powell in the 2400 block of New Orleans Street the night of July 3, 2023. Sitting two rows back in the courtroom gallery, Criminal District Judge Kimya Holmes, one of the victim’s aunts, held one of Powell’s daughters in her arms. Holmes had popped in and out of the trial all week from her courtroom next door. She testified Thursday, exchanging her black robe for a blue dress as she described her oldest niece as a fierce guardian to her siblings and younger cousins. “She loved hard, and if she cared about you, she protected you with all that she had,” the judge testified, dabbing away tears. A jury deliberated for little more than an hour Friday afternoon before finding Atkins guilty of second-degree murder and possession of a firearm at the end of a weeklong trial. Holmes shed tears after the verdict was read. She emerged from the courtroom flush with emotion and rushed out of the building. “My family right now may be crying, but we’re crying happy tears,” said the judge’s mother, Silvia Holmes, outside the courtroom. “It’s never going to be better, but it’s not going to be as hard. We can have a little peace knowing that we were there for Johnshane Powell.” Lead defense attorney Ryan Thompson argued that no fingerprint or DNA evidence tied Atkins to the murder weapon or any of the 22 shell casings found from the scene. “The state of Louisiana wants you to put the gun in Kelvin Atkins’ hand so bad,” he said. “But what I can tell you is if you can’t put this gun in Kelvin’s hand, no conviction can stand.” Holmes, who is running for a second term, joined family as they sat weeping while jurors heard 911 calls and bodycam footage of Powell’s final moments. Kim Powell, Johnshane’s mother, called the jury’s decision a “blessing.” NOPD officer Malcolm Norman arrived to the scene to find one of Atkins’ female cousins cradling Powell in her arms. The officer, trying to keep Powell conscious, asked her repeatedly who’d shot her. On body camera footage, Powell answered “K” in a strained whisper as she gasped. That was the

Cox Communications, the brand that has provided cable and, more recently, internet services in Louisiana since cable television was in its infancy 45 years ago, was ofﬁcially rebranded as Spectrum on Wednesday across the state. The rebrand follows Cox’s $34.5 billion sale to Charter Communications, Spectrum’s Connecticut-based parent company. Charter is now the largest cable and internet provider in the nation with 37 million customers across 45 states. For subscribers in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette and surrounding areas, the switch means a choice between sticking with their current plans and prices or opting into a Spectrum package, according to Charter CEO Chris Winfrey. “Other than the name on the bill, nothing there will change in terms of how people submit their payments,” Winfrey said in a media call following the Aug. 20 closure of the purchase. “We’re not going to force existing customers to migrate into Spectrum pricing and packaging.”

LSU fans take fight to Ole Miss Two arrested in Metairie messages include ‘daddy’s back’ and ‘Fire Sankey’

This digital billboard started running in oxford, miss., on Thursday, ahead of the lSu/ole miss game set for Saturday.

BY JAN RISHER Staff writer

More than 80 small digital screens across Oxford, Mississippi — in bars, dentist offices and tanning salons — had flipped to a new message by early Thursday: “Daddy’s back. Geaux Tigers.” An asterisk underneath reads, “Eligibility may vary by state,” a nod to the kerfuffle over LSU coach Lane Kiffin’s efforts to add players who had tried to make it in the NFL. But that’s not all. On Saturday morning, between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., a plane will pull a banner over Oxford and the Ole Miss campus carrying the same line during peak tailgating in The Grove. LSU fans are funding the media campaign through a GoFundMe created by Louisiana attorneys and siblings Allison Jones and Matt Jones. It started as a way to express their outrage over SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey’s since-dropped push to remove LSU from the conference. Last week, they designed and organized “Fire Sankey” digital billboards in Birmingham, Ala., which stopped running at noon Thursday. As far as the Jones siblings were concerned, mission accomplished. “It just expresses, at least for me, and I think I can speak for my sister on this as well, our absolute gut-level outrage at what he has done,” Jones said

continued from page 1b nickname Atkins went by, prosecutors told jurors. Atkins lawyers cast doubt on the identiﬁcation, saying “K” referenced the cousin, not him. Holmes spent more than an hour on the stand Thursday. She testiﬁed about the agony of breaking the news to Powell’s daughters, then ages 4 and 8. “I don’t think anything can prepare you for that,” Holmes said. Holmes and the rest of the criminal court judges recused themselves from the case. The Louisiana Supreme Court appointed an ad hoc, retired judge Calvin Johnson, to preside over it. Atkins’ conviction Friday came in a retrial after an earlier jury deadlocked. That earlier jury convicted Atkins unanimously of

ProVided PhoTo But LSU fans have contributed more than $7,200 to the GoFundMe campaign. So, the Jones siblings didn’t stop there. Matt Jones doesn’t pretend the Oxford campaign carries the weight of the billboard ﬁght in Birmingham. He calls this one what it is. “It is a college football, sophomoric, petty way to get under the skin of fans of an opposing team that we don’t like very much,” he said. “This is part of college football. The back-and-forth, the clever, jokey mocking of our teams — it’s a long history.” Not everyone laughed it off right away. Matt Jones said a small number of fans worried the “Daddy’s back” campaign had gone too far, but he puts that group at well under 10%. Allison Jones remembers that this kind of rivalry goes back generations. “I remember my parents wearing ‘Archie who?’ buttons when they went to games,” she said. “NIL may change college football rosters, but the heart of college football is driven by families and

fan bases and gentle ribbing like this and ‘Fire Sankey.’” Matt Jones’ wife intervened in his tailgate plans this weekend, which means he’ll watch Saturday’s game from somewhere other than Oxford — which he acknowledges is probably a wise decision. As for the score, Matt Jones offered two predictions in the span of a breath: 77-0, then corrected himself to 78, the extra point coming off a late onside kick and a twopoint conversion. Then the fan in him gave way to the lawyer. LSU holds the edge at most positions, he said, but Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss changes the math. “If it’s a close game and it comes down to the fourth quarter, I think it’s gonna be very, very, very close,” he said. “I will hope for a blowout. I expect a close game.” Whatever happens on the ﬁeld Saturday, the Jones siblings and a host of other LSU fans will have had their say. And before breakfast, a plane will already be circling Oxford, towing four words in purple and gold across a Mississippi sky.

obstruction of justice and possession of a ﬁrearm by a convicted felon. Johnson sentenced him to 60 years in prison as a repeat offender. Last year’s conviction stemmed from a domestic violence incident two days before the killing in which police arrested Atkins after Powell told officer’s he’d slapped her, pulled her hair, bit her leg and stole a 9 mm Beretta from her purse. “What happens if y’all let him go and I end up dead tomorrow,” she asked ofﬁcers Atkins, a parolee, managed to make bail. Prosecutors told jurors Atkins knew he faced the potential of an enhanced life sentence under the state’s habitual offender laws if Powell backed up her domestic violence claims. Defense attorneys pointed to Powell’s past arrests for battery and assault and argued the abuse

was “bidirectional.” “There’s nothing bidirectional about killing a young mother in the streets,” Williams responded in his closing argument. “This was targeted, it was sustained, it was personal. It was overkill.” After the verdict, Williams said last year’s mistrial weighed heavily on Powell’s loved ones. “She’s wanted justice and she got it,” he said. Thompson said he and his team intend to “exhaust all our options.” “I think this trial was fairer than the ﬁrst,” he said. “Never have I seen so many court employees invested in a trial sitting on the side of the state, nor have I taken as many writs as I’ve taken in this trial.” Atkins now faces a mandatory life sentence with no parole. Johnson set his sentencing for Nov. 6.

Investigators have never disclosed a suspected motive. Tillman’s family said he was friends with Parks and sometimes stayed with her.

Authorities reopened the cold missing-person case in August 2025 after an anonymous tipster called CrimeStoppers to report that Tillman had been murdered by Billot and Lopez, the Sheriff’s Office said. Detectives spoke with the tipster and identified other witnesses who reported that Lopez and Billot had spoken about Tillman’s death over

gas station shooting BY MICHELLE HUNTER Staff writer

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Ofﬁce released new details about a shooting at a Clearview Parkway gas station in Metairie that left one man injured last week. Detectives investigating the case arrested the alleged gunman as well as the shooting victim, according to authorities. The violence began with an argument inside the gas station’s convenience store located in the 3100 block of Clearview Parkway in Metairie on the afternoon of Sept. 10, said Capt. Jason Rivarde, spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. David Matthews, 67, of New Orleans, got into a spat with Alfredo Ramos, 24, of New Orleans, and Joel Clouatre, 30, of Marrero, he said. It’s not clear what led to the argument, but things turned physical, with Ramos and Clouatre allegedly attacking and beating Matthews. Matthews briefly lost consciousness and sustained a painful injury, Rivarde said. Afterward, Matthews went to his

continued from page 1b empowerment” conference. The procedural hearing Thursday came as questions have swirled around the federal case against Cantrell. The prosecutor who shepherded her indictment resigned last month as the Justice Department probed allegations that he concealed a relationship of his own with a U.S. Attorney’s Ofﬁce subordinate. A judge delayed Cantrell’s trial in July, citing scheduling conﬂicts. It’s now set for March 2027. Thursday’s hearing hinged on Castaing’s request that prosecutors provide early access to grand jury transcripts of testimony by Cantrell’s former chief of staff, plus a bevy of other material Castaing said he expects the Justice Department to wield at her trial. The former chief of staff, Clifton Davis, was a key adviser to Cantrell as her inner circle shrank drastically during her second term. Castaing told North that some of Davis’ statements to the grand jury may prove favorable to Cantrell and could shape her defense. Castaing declined to comment further on his reasons for seeking the grand jury transcripts. Davis declined to comment.

tunity here that exists on the front line,” Winfrey said. “There will be some shifting around, but it also presents career opportunities for people along the way.” Charter executives expect to save about $500 million during the ﬁrst three years after the purchase as a result of reduced overhead and procurement costs. According to the FCC, Charter has also committed to “protect against DEI discrimination” and to recruit, hire and promote employees based on their qualiﬁcations. The name change affects a dozen former Cox stores across seven parishes — four in Jefferson, three in East Baton Rouge, and one each in Orleans, St. Bernard, Lafayette, Iberia and Ascension. No information about any potential closures was available from

the years, even bragged about it, according to authorities. It was the tip that led detectives to search the Gaudet Drive backyard, leading to the recovery of Tillman’s remains on April 21, the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce said. Barrios was the ﬁrst to be charged in the case on June 5. Judge Donald Rowan Jr. of the 24th Judicial District Court accepted her guilty plea on Sept. 9, court records said.

vehicle, retrieved a gun and ﬁred at Ramos, shooting him multiple times, Rivarde said. Deputies later arrived and found Ramos wounded. He was transported to a local hospital. Matthews left the scene immediately following the shooting but later drove to a Sheriff’s Office station of his own volition to speak with investigators about the incident, Rivarde said. He was arrested that day and booked with aggravated second-degree battery. Clouatre was taken from the scene to the Sheriff’s Office investigations bureau where he was interviewed, according to authorities. He, too, was arrested Sept. 10 and booked with second-degree battery, Rivarde said. Ramos was arrested and booked with second-degree battery on Sept. 11. Ramos is free on a $50,000 bond, while Matthews was released from jail Sept. 11 on a $10,000 bond, according to court records. Clouatre was still being held Friday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Bail was set at $50,000.

As Cantrell’s chief of staff, Davis produced records to the grand jury in the latter stages of the federal investigation of Cantrell’s affairs. Attorneys for both sides on Thursday described Davis as cooperating with their inquiries and said he was not accused of hindering the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nick Moses pushed back on Castaing’s requests, citing what he called Vappie and Cantrell’s pattern of deleting communications and admonishing underlings for asking about their alleged relationship. Moses acknowledged there was no indication that Cantrell has violated bond conditions since her arraignment last September. Yet the behavior detailed in the indictment indicates a “real risk of obstruction,” Moses said. He said Cantrell and Davis have remained close, suggesting that giving her defense team the grand jury transcripts early could lead to attempts to improperly shape Davis’ testimony. If North rejects Castaing’s request, the government will still be required to provide the transcripts two weeks before trial. “I have trouble envisioning what Mr. Castaing could do with this material” if provided the transcripts early, Moses said. North said he would review the grand jury transcripts before issuing an order.

Obituaries Clawson, Jane Ritter

Jane Ritter Clawson, who was born in Memphis, Tennessee on May 21, 1940, died peacefully at home on August 29, 2026. She was preceded in death by her parents, Margaret Emrich Ritter and Harry Raymond Ritter, her sisters Ann and Margaret, her brother Harry, and her husband, Charles H. Clawson, Jr. ("Charlie"). Jane grew up in Marked Tree, Arkansas and graduated from The Hockaday School in 1958. She attended Smith College, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1962. Jane then moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, teaching second grade before attending Tulane University, where she attained her Master of Arts in 1967. She then pursued a doctorate at Tulane, writing her dissertation on medieval Spanish literature. Following her 1978 marriage to Charlie, she made her home in Shreveport, Louisiana. Jane served many roles over her several decades as a member of the E. Ritter & Company Board of Directors. She also served multiple terms on the Ritter Family Council. Jane taught Spanish at Centenary College of Louisiana and at Louisiana State University in Shreveport. As much as she loved Louisiana, she always called Marked Tree and Tyronza Arkansas home. Football games between the Razorbacks and Tigers could get interesting indeed. Jane was a generous volunteer and genuinely philanthropic person. She was a member of The Twentieth Century Club, Hypatia (serving as President from 2014-2016), the Junior League of New Orleans, the Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier, the Shreveport Club, Southern Trace Country Club, and a member of the Board of Directors for Authors in April. A beautiful and accomplished stitcher, Jane was also a member of the American Needlepoint Guild and of the Rose Chapter of the Embroiderers' Guild of America (EGA), helping to organize several regional

Rutledge, Katherine Burck

Katherine Burck Rutledge was embraced in the arms of Jesus on September 12, 2026, at the age of 77. Katherine was a gifted artist whose talents enriched lives and places throughout Louisiana. She grew up in New Orleans, a city she always called home, even after living in Baton Rouge for more than 50 years. Katherine attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting. She continued her artistic education at the Baton Rouge Fine Arts Academy, the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, and Studio dei Leoni. Her work appears in the permanent collections of the LSU Rural Life Museum, the Audubon Institute in New Orleans, and the McIlhenny Collection at Hill Memorial Library on the LSU campus, as well as in numerous private collections throughout the South. Her artwork appeared in Louisiana Life Magazine and The Delta, and her talents also extended to illustrating books and designing book covers. Katherine's life was as expressive and generous as her art. She freely shared her paintings with local charities, friends, and family. Even more importantly, she shared the love of Jesus with everyone she knew. Her faith was an important

part of who she was, and the beauty she created was matched by the love and generosity she extended to those around her. Katherine is survived by her husband of 39 years, Clayton Fenton Rutledge; her sister, Martha Shackelford (Giles), and her children, William G.

Gulf funds cleared for Paramount ownership

CHICAGO — As Paramount looks to take over Warner Bros. Discovery, it’s racked up billions of dollars in ﬁnancial backing from three Gulf countries. And the U.S. Federal Communications Commission has now approved the company’s ask for sizable indirect ownership from those foreign investors. The FCC cleared the way on Thursday, granting sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to hold indirect equity interests in a Paramount-Warner combo, but no voting stakes. Skydance-owned Paramount — whose $81 billion merger with Warner is still on hold amid a separate antitrust battle with twelve states and Hollywood writers — welcomed the FCC’s ruling. Paramount maintained that these funds won’t have any governance rights and the family of its CEO David Ellison and RedBird Capital would still be the majority owners of the combined company. Saudi’s Public Investment Fund, L’imad Holding Company in the UAE and the Qatar Investment Authority reportedly committed a combined $24 billion to help fund the company’s Warner acquisition. In its spring petition to the FCC, Paramount disclosed that it expected those funds to indirectly own nearly 50% of equity interests when and if the merger closes.

Kremlin orders Nestle, Auchan assets seized FRANKFURT, Germany — The Kremlin has ordered the Russian businesses of Swiss-based food and beverage company Nestle and French retailer Auchan placed in temporary administration, a procedure that previously has led to the forced sale of Western businesses to Russian owners at knockdown prices. The local assets of the two multinationals were put under what the Kremlin says is temporary control by another company under an order issued late Thursday by Russian President Vladimir Putin. A 2023 law allows the Kremlin to place businesses from “unfriendly countries” under temporary administration. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday the companies in question are “European companies, companies from unfriendly countries” that are “most actively involved in hostilities against our country,” as well as in Ukraine’s strikes “on our civilian economic infrastructure.”

More Prime customers may qualify for refunds After doling out more than $845 million to former Amazon Prime customers, Amazon is expanding the qualifications needed for refunds stemming from its settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. Three days into a trial last year, Amazon and the regulatory agency reached a settlement in which the e-commerce giant agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle claims it tricked customers into $139 Prime memberships. The settlement included a $1 billion civil penalty and $1.5 billion in refunds. In a Sept. 11 joint filing between the FTC and Amazon, the company said it’s finished the first two phases of its reimbursement process. At first, the company issued automatic payments up to $51 to Amazon Prime subscribers who enrolled between June 23, 2019, and June 23, 2025, and had used Prime benefits no more than three times in a year. Amazon also opened a claims process, eligible for those who tried to cancel their Prime membership during those six years. Since less than $1 billion of the allocated refunds have been issued, Amazon is now expanding eligibility to those who used Prime no more than four times in a year, and will keep broadening the pool of customers until the terms of the settlement are met.

Bond yields rise, oil prices swing

BY STAN CHOE

aP business writer

NEW YORK — Wall Street capped an up-and-down week Friday with a mixed ﬁnish for U.S. stock indexes, as elevated bond yields and oil prices weighed on the market. The majority of stocks on Wall Street fell, and helping to weaken them was rising pressure from the bond market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed to 5% from 4.94% late Thursday after it topped the 5% level early this week for the ﬁrst time since 2023. Higher yields slow the overall economy by making it more expensive for everyone to borrow money, from the U.S. government to people looking to buy houses to businesses wanting to build AI

data centers. They also tend to undercut prices for stocks and other investments. Yields have been climbing in a long march since the COVID pandemic knocked them nearly to zero in 2020. The ascent has accelerated recently because inﬂation has remained stubbornly high for years. Inﬂation is well above 3% by several measures. It worsened due to higher oil prices caused by the war with Iran. The price for a barrel of Brent crude, the international standard, got to nearly $110 early this week, up from a little over $70 in July. It has been seesawing since. Rising oil prices have pushed gasoline prices to $4.47 per gallon, up from $3.20 per gallon a year ago, according to AAA. That is

tightening the squeeze on household budgets. Diesel prices are at a record $6.45 per gallon and that has a more direct impact on shipping costs for everything from groceries to clothing. Steel maker Nucor said late Thursday that it expects to report an increase in proﬁt from its steel mills business in the third quarter from the second because it’s able to charge higher prices. But it’s also having to absorb higher costs. Its stock sank 6.3%. Elsewhere on Wall Street, General Motors fell 5.1% and Qualcomm dropped 5.8%. Among stocks that gained ground were Coinbase Global, which climbed 11.7% for the biggest gain among S&P 500 stocks, and Robinhood Markets, which

climbed 9.1%. The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate in a widely expected move, up to its highest level in 31 years. It followed the Federal Reserve, which raised its federal funds rate earlier this week for the first time in three years in efforts to rein in high inﬂation. “With consumer spending resilient, the AI buildout continuing, and the labor market solid, the Fed was running out of reasons to stay on the sidelines after more than five years of above-target inflation,” said Angelo Kourkafas, senior global strategist, investment strategy, at Edward Jones. AP Business Writer Yuri Kageyama contributed to this report.

Warren Buffett gives up title of Berkshire Hathaway chair

oldest son replaces him as part of succession plan BY JOSH FUNK and MICHELLE CHAPMAN aP business writers

OMAHA, Neb. — Warren Buffett is stepping down as chair of Berkshire Hathaway in the next step of the transition at the top of the $1 trillion conglomerate he led for more than six decades. Buffett, 96, will become chair emeritus and will take on his new role immediately, the company said Friday. His oldest son, Howard, will become Berkshire Hathaway’s new chair, part of a long-planned succession. Howard Buffett has been on the Berkshire Hathaway board since 1993. Warren Buffett, known by a legion of ﬁnancial market followers as the Oracle of Omaha, will remain a director. He had been Berkshire Hathaway’s chair since 1970, but he took control of the struggling New England textile company in 1965. Greg Abel took over for Buffett as the CEO of the $1 trillion conglomerate at the start of this year though Buffett continued to come into the ofﬁce each day to look for new investments and deals and offer Abel any advice. It’s not clear whether Buffett will change his routine at all now. “I have served Berkshire since 1965,” Buffett said in a letter to shareholders. “Sixty-plus years in, I still have the best job in the world. That is not something many people my age can say, and I have never felt better about Abel what comes next.” Investor Adam Mead, who wrote “The Complete Financial History of Berkshire Hathaway,” said Buffett seems to trying to lessen the impact on Berkshire when he eventually dies by taking this step now. Berkshire’s announcement didn’t reveal any health issues for Buffett, but Mead said “He’s now 96, so even a cold could be a health scare.”

Greg Abel will continue as CEO Buffett said that he is conﬁdent with Abel and his son Howard leading Berkshire Hathaway. “Greg runs the company; Howard will guard its culture and values — both worth more than anything on our balance sheet,” he said. “Think of Howard as a policy the shareholders own and hope never to claim against.” Abel started managing all of Berkshire’s non-insurance businesses in 2018 when he was elevated to vice chair, so he knows the

Warren buffett, then chair and ceo of berkshire hathaway, speaks during a game of bridge after the annual berkshire hathaway shareholders meeting may 5, 2019, in omaha, neb. berkshire hathaway announced Friday that buffett is stepping down as chair. various companies well including BNSF railroad, the utilities and manufacturing operations as well as name brands like Dairy Queen. But CFRA Research analyst Cathy Seifert said investors still have questions about how well Abel will be able to deploy Berkshire’s massive $365 billion cash pile. “There was a premium awarded Berkshire stock because of their ﬁnancial strengths and because of this famed investor who was allocating capital. I think it’s naive to assume that this is business as usual. It’s not,” Seifert said. “What this does is amplify some of the execution risk in the strategy and the signiﬁcance of the transition.”

The next orderly step in succession plan Michael Withers, professor of management at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, said Buffett took a deliberate approach to Berkshire Hathaway’s succession plans and has carried out the transition step by step. “Buffett seems to have understood that succeeding him wasn’t just about ﬁnding another extraordinary leader,” he said. “It was about building a structure that could preserve what makes Berkshire different long after he has stepped away. The test moving forward will be whether Abel and Howard can honor that legacy while still giving Berkshire room to adapt to a market that looks very different from the one Buffett mastered.”

Buffett’s fortune has been amassed through Berkshire Hathaway stock. Buffett built the company into an investing conglomerate and an icon of Wall Street by buying insurance companies and reinvesting the money from premiums in stocks and other companies. In 2024, Berkshire Hathaway became the ﬁrst non-tech company valued at more than $1 trillion. Buffett, a longtime philanthropist, has given away roughly $66 billion worth of stock since 2006 with the bulk of that going to his friend Bill Gates’ foundation. But this summer he announced that his three children will now take over all of the charitable decisions and distribute the rest of his fortune by the end of 2034. Buffett’s take on ﬁnance has created its own gravitational pull. When Berkshire Hathaway reveals the stocks that the company has acquired or sold in public disclosures, it can shake markets. During his time as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, the company nearly doubled the returns of the S&P 500, with a 19.9% compounded annual growth rate compared with the index’s 10.4% gain. “Warren’s impact on Berkshire and its owners is without parallel in the history of American business,” Abel said in a statement. “The culture Warren built and the values he championed will remain at the heart of Berkshire, and Howard will be their guardian.”

Anthropic says Claude is helping to build the next version of itself BY KAITLYN HUAMANI aP technology writer

Anthropic’s Claude is helping the company develop the next, more intelligent version of the model, the artiﬁcial intelligence lab said in an announcement Thursday. Claude is leading 26% of Anthropic’s model research and development, which the company said means it can complete most of a given task “end-to-end from a high-level prompt” while still being under human supervision. The model is not yet working completely autonomously. Still, about 90% of the company’s research and development is done

in “collaboration” with Claude, which Anthropic said means the model can do “large chunks of work under close human direction.” The announcement came as some leading ﬁgures in AI, led in large part by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, are calling for a slowdown in the technology’s development over safety concerns. The company said that models accelerating their own development could make it “more challenging for humans to understand or control these systems.” It argued that sharing these metrics could lead to better understanding of how close leading AI labs

are to reaching recursive self-improvement, or a model’s ability to autonomously build its successor. Anthropic also urged other AI developers to share similar metrics on a regular basis, encouraging the use of a public methodology so the numbers could be compared over time, and potentially across labs. It was unclear from Anthropic’s disclosure how close the company believes it is to achieving recursive self-improvement, but the pace at which Claude has increasingly contributed to research and development is notable. The portion of work Claude “leads,” or does in large part while remaining under

human supervision, was none in February. Six months later, it was leading a quarter of research and development work, reaching that benchmark in August. The company also shared details of agent oversight measures it has in place, noting that there were approximately 30,000 agents doing research and engineering work as of August. Oversight measures are crucial for seeing how often agent misbehavior is detected by monitoring systems, the company said. Anthropic recently committed to setting up external third-party evaluators who will be embedded within the company to monitor safety efforts.

ARTISTS’ VIEWS

Looking deeper into polls can often reveal the currents moving voters Each day, a new poll is released. The media usually focuses on just top-line results and misses important nuggets buried in the data. Trends and election dynamics — what’s happening and why — are often overlooked. In this column, we’ll dig into some of those nuggets. They offer clues for the 2026 and 2028 elections. From the Financial Times-Focaldata national poll: n Of President Donald Trump’s supporters in the last presidential election, 45% now disapprove of his handling of the inflation issue and 31% disapprove of his handling of Iran. n Donald Trump Jr. does better than Ron DeSantis, Robert Kennedy Jr., Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson for the next Republican presidential nomination. But despite the power of the Trump name among party voters, the Ron president’s son — who runs third — receives Faucheux only 9%. He’s behind JD Vance at 40% and Marco Rubio at 19%. n Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez polls ahead of Pete Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro, Mark Kelly, Jon Ossoff, Andy Beshear and Rahm Emanuel for the Democratic nomination. AOC runs third at 10%, behind Kamala Harris at 31% and Gavin Newsom at 13%. Recently, Newsom said he wouldn’t run if Harris does. n AOC does much better among younger than older Democrats. The reverse is true for Ossoff, Buttigieg and Kelly, who run stronger among older folks. n Newsom and AOC poll much better among men than women. Harris polls better among women than men. From the Economist/YouGov national poll: n 16% of voters nationwide say it can be “justified for citizens to resort to violence in order to achieve political goals.” The figure rises to 26% among liberals and 18-29-year-olds. Democrats are more likely to say this than Republicans (18% vs. 9%). n Share of voters who now say the U.S. made a “mistake” fighting the following wars: Vietnam, 60%; Afghanistan, 47%; Iraq, 52%; Iran, 50%; Korea, 27%; World War I, 12%; and World War II, 8%. n 51% of voters think the U.S. will be safer from terrorism if it “confronts” the countries and groups that promote terrorism; 49% think the U.S. will be safer from terrorism if it “stays out” of other countries’ affairs. Republicans are much more likely to favor confrontation than Democrats, 74% vs. 28%. n Getting “a lot” of blame for inflation: federal spending, 66%; corporate profit-seeking, 64%; price of foreign oil, 61%; tariffs, 58%; war in Iran, 58%; Donald Trump, 56%; Republicans, 52%; billionaires, 50%; Democrats, 39%; and immigration policy, 37%. n Among all likely voters, these are the words most commonly used to describe Trump: corrupt, 56%; dangerous, 56%; cruel, 51%; out-of-touch, 50%; racist, 50%; divisive, 45%; bold, 44%; strong, 38%; intelligent, 34%; effective, 33%; honest, 24%; steady, 20%; and inspiring, 19%. n Only 8% of Democrats say their party is “too extreme,” and 9% of Republicans say that about their party. More importantly, 47% of independents, who often swing close elections, say Democrats are “too extreme,” and 56% say Republicans are “too extreme.” n Only 15% of Democrats, 13% of independents and 39% of Republicans have “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the criminal justice system. State nuggets: n Shootout at gender gap: Democrat James Talarico leads women by 16 points in the Texas Senate race; Republican Ken Paxton leads men by 14 points. (Mason-Dixon poll). n Change is the word: Of the latest six polls in the Michigan Senate race, far-left Democrat Abdul El-Sayed leads Republican Mike Rogers in five of them. Why? About 65% of voters believe El-Sayed will “try to change things a lot” in Washington, while only 20% say the same about Rogers. Nearly two-thirds of Michigan’s voters disapprove of Trump’s job performance. (CNN poll.) n Quick turnaround: Trump carried Iowa for president every time, but his favorable rating there is now down to 41%. A recent poll has Democrat Josh Turek and Republican Ashley Hinson tied in the open Senate race, 43% each. It also has Democrat Ron Sand leading the gubernatorial contest by four points. (Iowans for Tax Relief/Cygnal poll.) n Corruption matters: Minnesota has a strong record of voting for Democrats. But in this election, Democratic Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan has watched her polling lead dwindle from five points in mid-August to one point now. According to polling, political corruption is the top issue. (Co/ efficient poll.) Will keep digging. More nuggets to come.

lSu’s clash with ole miss reveals community’s raw, complex feelings on Kiffin’s swap

XFORD, Miss. — A Johnny Vaught statue stands by the entrance to The Library. But once you open its doors, nobody is reading inside. Cups of beer have replaced the books. Residents sit on black barstools instead, drinking and socializing around an island bar, with TVs showing NFL Network or ESPN everywhere you look up. It’s a college town sports bar where almost everybody knows everybody. And everybody loves Ole Miss football. The effigy of Vaught — the legendary Ole Miss coach who led the Rebels to six Southeastern Conference titles in 25 seasons — represents what this bar is all about. But when the conversation — in between sips of beer and a round of shots — shifts to Lane Kiffin and LSU on the week of Kiffin’s return to Oxford, not every Ole Miss fan is caught up in exacting revenge on Saturday (6:30 p.m., ABC) against their former coach. “The season has started now. We don’t care anymore,” Todd Murphy, an Ole Miss fan of 36 years, said. “You’ve got to move on.” His friend, a season-ticket holder and Ole Miss fan of 40 years (who declined to reveal his name for this story), agrees. He believes most true Rebels fans don’t care that Kiffin’s back, and the fans who do care are mostly “younger folks.” ä See LSU, page 2C

STAFF PREDICTIONS JON BLAU

KOKI RILEY

OLE MISS 27, LSU 24 lSu’s effort versus louisiana Tech raised questions. can the Tigers run the ball consistently? can Sam leavitt limit his mistakes opposite a quarterback, Trinidad chambliss, who rarely makes poor decisions? The margins could be tight in a tense road environment, and lSu has to prove it can be on the right side of those breaking points. it wasn’t even clear midweek if leavitt was playing Saturday, which adds another layer. ole miss earns the nod.

OLE MISS 24, LSU 21 anyone who claims they feel good about either team’s chances is either delusional or lying. That’s how close this matchup is. lSu probably has the slightly more talented roster, but ole miss has the better quarterback. The Tigers’ defense is the best unit of the four, but the rebels have home-field advantage. in the preseason, i picked ole miss to win, and i just haven’t seen enough from lSu to make me change that pick.

REED DARCEY

LSU 31, OLE MISS 24 my pick is predicated on lSu quarterback Sam leavitt being healthy enough to play and play effectively. even assuming he is, advantage ole miss at quarterback and running back, but the other position groups are even to edge for lSu. The rebels will create a difficult atmosphere for the Tigers, but there isn’t a coach you would rather have on your sideline amid dizzying chaos than lane Kiffin. ultimately, defense tips the scales in lSu’s favor.

OLE MISS 31, LSU 28 it’s easy to get lost in all of the drama, all of the questions and all of the storylines surrounding the outcome of this game, but it all really boils down to one key concern: lSu’s rushing attack. Why did it work so well vs. clemson, and why did it struggle vs. louisiana Tech? The uncertainty nudged me toward ole miss. Trinidad chambliss calms things down, and the rebels pull out a win with a late score.

LSU QB Leavitt no longer listed on availability report BY KOKI RILEY Staff writer

LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt was not listed on Friday’s Southeastern Conference availability report and is on track to start for the Tigers in their matchup against Ole Miss on Saturday (6:30 p.m., ABC). The news comes a day after the report had listed Leavitt as questionable to play on Saturday. Leavitt surprisingly was listed as doubtful on Wednesday’s availability report, and multiple reports since have suggested that Leavitt has dealt with back and shoulder injuries this week and did not participate in practice on Wednesday.

Leavitt played through LSU’s ﬁrst two games without any physical issues, leaving many people skeptical about his injury status. Nick Saban, on the “Pat McAfee Show” on Friday, went so far as to say, “If I was a betting man, I would say there’s absolutely nothing wrong with Sam Leavitt.” Elsewhere on the report, linebacker TJ Dottery was listed as questionable Friday. Linebackers Davhon Keys and Tylen Singleton, and offensive lineman Aliou Bah were listed as probable Friday. Wide receiver Phillip Wright, linebacker Jaiden Braker and running back Raycine Guillory will not play this weekend after being listed as out Wednesday.

KICKING staying home.” The Mississippi Department of Public Safety announced Wednesday that it would have its largest security presence ever for a football game on Saturday, deploying 65-70 state troopers and commercial transportation officers in and around the Ole Miss campus. LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry said on Tuesday that he is confident in the safety plan that he discussed with Ole Miss athletic director Keith Carter for Saturday’s game. “We’ve discussed things,” Ausberry said. “We’re gonna be the adults in the room and make sure the game takes place on the field.” But the wave of hatred expected to course through Oxford this weekend won’t include everyone on campus. At least a few Ole Miss students have pushed aside any ill will toward Kiffin and can grasp why he left for LSU. Zac Cauthen, a freshman and Kappa Sigma fraternity pledge who has attended Ole Miss games since he was 6 years old, was disappointed when Kiffin left for Baton Rouge, but he now understands that LSU’s bigger brand was likely too good to pass up. He largely agrees with Murphy and his friend that most die-hard Ole Miss fans see Saturday’s game more as a chance to earn a big win over a top-10 team, not as an opportunity to get back at their former coach. “Everyone that’s like me and they really like Ole Miss, we don’t really see it as a hatred thing or a personal thing,” Cauthen said. “We see it more as a, ‘This game means something. Whoever wins this game is getting to the playoffs,’ that kind of thing. It has nothing to do with our feelings.” Max Mayeaux, a junior at Ole Miss and a Kappa Sigma member, and his roommate, Trevor Cox, were surprised at first that Kiffin decided to leave. But in hindsight, they can understand the logic behind the move. “At that time, obviously, I was shocked that he left,” Mayeaux said. “But now that I look at it, I don’t know Lane Kiffin personally, but he thought that was the best decision for him. He’s a great coach. He’s going to do great things with LSU, and LSU’s definitely going to win a bunch of games.” Not all of their classmates respected Kiffin’s move to LSU. Mayeaux and Cox both know people who went to the airport the day Kiffin flew from Oxford to Baton Rouge after he was hired, students who weren’t afraid to scream obscenities at their former coach as he was greeted by Ausberry on the tarmac. That was nearly 10 months ago. Cox and Mayeaux say the anticipation on campus for this weekend is palpable. ESPN’s “College GameDay” will be in town on Saturday, and Cox saw technicians building the show’s set on his way back from his accounting class Tuesday. He and Mayeaux also suspect that their professors have given them more exams this week because of the big game. “I think a lot of these teachers are more worried about making sure we have tests this week, a lot more schoolwork, keeping us distracted and not talking about the game,” Cox said. “I’m totally convinced it’s by design.” The Oxford community’s excitement for Saturday goes well beyond the campus. Rebels fans have been looking forward to this matchup since the SEC revealed that Kiffin would return to Oxford on Sept. 19.

STaFF PhoTo by KoKi riley

a sign outside a pizza shop during ole misslSu rivalry week in oxford, miss.

Abi Williams, a bartender at The Blind Pig, said on Monday that her roommate already had started planning what dress she would wear on game day. Her colleague, Cam Norwood, isn’t even an Ole Miss fan, but he’s excited for the rowdy environment that will surely accompany the matchup. Stanford on Monday estimated that she’d already had 15 conversations about the game with High Point Coffee customers that morning. The clock had yet to strike 10:30 a.m. “Fans have been talking about this since the offseason,” Ole Miss wide receiver Deuce Alexander told reporters on Tuesday. “Every time they see me, it’s the only game they bring up and have circled on the calendar.” There are plenty of non-Kiffin-related reasons that make Saturday’s game a big deal. It’s a matchup between two top-10 teams in the AP Top 25 poll, and a game that may go a long way in determining both teams’ fate in the CFP race. But as much as Kiffin says Saturday is about what happens between the lines, all eyes will be fixated on him pacing along the sideline. The last time he returned to a school (Tennessee) that he’d previously scorned for another (Southern Cal), Volunteer fans threw a golf ball, a mustard bottle and beer cans at him. His return to Knoxville came 11 years after he had left. This time, Kiffin is coming back to Oxford facing a fan base still trying to heal from a fresh wound. Just don’t tell that to Murphy and his friend back at The Library. Kiffin could’ve been the next Vaught, but they’ve already gotten over it. “We’re not Tennessee,” Murphy said bluntly.

THINGS TO WATCH IN WEEK 3 Who, what and where to keep an eye on in this week’s games around the nation

IRISH, SPARTANS REVIVE RIVALRY no. 3 notre dame and michigan State have a storied rivalry without a recent chapter. That changes Saturday. For the first time since 2017, the Fighting irish and Spartans (2-0) will square off in the battle for the megaphone — a rivalry that once was a featured annual attraction because of its national championship implications. The irish (2-0) must play well to avoid another September loss at home. notre dame leads the rivalry 49-29-1, but michigan State won 11 of the previous 19 meetings and won six consecutive road games in the series, a notre dame Stadium record for an opponent.

ACC FAVORITES SMU, LOUISVILLE MEET no. 16 Smu (2-0, 1-0 acc) heads to no. 23 louisville (1-1, 0-0) on Saturday in an early matchup of the teams picked to be the top contender to preseason acc favorite miami. The mustangs were picked to finish second in the league and opened the year with a league win at Florida State. The cardinals were picked third and lost a neutral-field shootout against eighth-ranked ole miss before rolling past Villanova. and this is a matchup of the league leaders in total offense between Smu Qb Kevin Jennings (402.5) and louisville’s lincoln Kienholz (375.0).

FSU, ALABAMA SET FOR REMATCH

Bitter border war’s new era begins In the pantheon of college football rivalries, the border wars are sometimes the most bitter ones. Oh sure, there’s the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn, the Bedlam series between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State — if they were on speaking terms — and Georgia-Georgia Tech’s “Clean, OldFashioned Hate.” But when you throw in a state line and state pride, you get something else entirely. You get Ohio StateMichigan, Missouri-Kansas (“The Border War”), TexasOklahoma … and LSU-Ole Miss. For these two, take out the “Clean, old-fashioned” Scott part. Rabalais Just make it hate. Hate inspired by one man. Lane Kiffin jumped across the border last Nov. 30 from Mississippi to Louisiana, leaving Ole Miss for LSU. There hasn’t been such howling in the Deep South since William Tecumseh Sherman (LSU’s first superintendent) made his march to the sea. In the heyday of the LSU-Ole Miss rivalry, protagonists were from the two competing, intertwined states. Billy Cannon was born in Philadelphia, Mississippi, and grew up in Baton Rouge, where his father found work during World War II. Archie Manning was from a small hamlet with a short name called Drew, deep in the heart of the Mississippi Delta region, and raised a famous football family in New Orleans. Kiffin, comparatively, is from nowhere. And everywhere. His home has been in the football profession. He was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, while his father, Monte, was coaching with the Cornhuskers. He graduated from high school in Bloomington, Minnesota, when his dad was defensive coordinator for the Vikings. He played quarterback at Fresno State, where being beat out by David Carr in effect launched Lane’s coaching career. There was even a time when the Kiffin family home base was in New Orleans, when Monte was the Saints’ defensive coordinator in 1995. Three decades on, Kiffin is coaching at LSU, the job mentors Nick Saban and Pete Carroll urged him to take. Twelve days after that wild Nov. 30, when Ole Miss fans jeered Kiffin at the Oxford airport and an LSU fan at the Baton Rouge airport shouted “We’re never losing again!” at the sight of Kiffin whizzing past, the Southeastern Conference announced the dates of this year’s conference football schedule. Sept. 19. That became a red-letter day in Rebel Land. The day the Prodigal Son would return to Oxford is finally here, as No. 7-ranked LSU goes to play No. 8 Ole Miss at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium at 6:30 p.m. in a nationally televised spectacle on ABC. A spectacle in all its player transferring, legal-paper serving, availability report debating glory. In the century-old College Town neighborhood just south of LSU’s campus, all the streets are named for famous universities. It’s there, just a block off Highland Road, where LSU Avenue intersects with Oxford Avenue. The latter street is

lSu coach lane Kiffin walks up the field after a score against clemson in the third quarter of their game on Sept. 5 at Tiger Stadium. The Tigers head to ole miss for a marquee matchup on Saturday night. probably named for Oxford in England, but the confluence couldn’t be more appropriate. To describe the hate for Kiffin in Oxford would require a new definition in the Oxford English Dictionary. It’s not hard to understand why. Kiffin left Ole Miss after six successful seasons, building up the program to the point where the Rebels were on the doorstep of their first trip to the College Football Playoff when Kiffin left. A trip that would reach the semifinals and brush up against an appearance in the CFP final. But it’s more than that. And LSU fans — in love with the coach they used to dislike but who now fits the LSU “Us against the world” persona like an adjustable visor — can understand. The emotions seething out of Ole Miss fandom these days are incredibly similar to the feelings LSU fans directed toward Saban when he left the Miami Dolphins for Alabama in 2007. Ole Miss fans used to love Kiffin. LSU fans loved Saban. But one change of address altered all that. Why? Fear. Deep down, LSU fans feared that Saban would come back to the SEC, to Bama, and dominate the conference and the Tigers. That’s exactly what happened. LSU has certainly had its moments since then,

with a national championship and two Heisman Trophy winners, but the Tigers have only beaten Alabama four times since 2007. For a long time they loathed Saban for that — until he encouraged Kiffin to leave Oxford for Baton Rouge. Deep down, Ole Miss fans worry about exactly the same thing. That the program Kiffin built to heights it hadn’t seen since the early 1960s will take a back seat to what they can envision he will do at LSU. Something akin to what Saban built at Alabama. Back in the day, when the volcanic Woody Hayes was coaching Ohio State and the fiery Bo Schembechler was coaching Michigan, they called the Buckeyes-Wolverines rivalry The Ten Year War. Based on his track record, it’s hard to envision Kiffin staying at LSU that long. But however long it is, if both programs continue to be relevant, this border rivalry is unlikely to cool down at all. A rivalry that for decades took a back seat to so many others has produced arguably the most anticipated game of 2026. It could well be just the beginning.

Tulane’s 2022 win at Kansas State motivates first-year Wildcats coach BY GUERRY SMITH

MORE ON PAGE 7C

contributing writer

Asked Monday whether a 2022 home loss to Tulane would give him extra motivation, ﬁrst-year Kansas State coach Collin Klein offered a two-word answer as he stared down the questioner. “No doubt.” His reaction was understandable. He was the offensive coordinator when the Green Wave exited Bill Snyder Stadium with a 17-10 upset victory, which was tied for the lowest scoring output in his two seasons in that role for the Wildcats. Eventual Big 12 champion Kansas State was 2-0 and coming off a 40-12 mauling of Missouri, while the Wave had gone 2-10 under then-coach Willie Fritz a year earlier. But if Klein has plenty of incentive for Saturday’s rematch in Manhattan, Kansas (11 a.m., ESPN2), so does Tulane (1-1). Two weeks ago, the Wave embarrassed itself in a

Those who watched the Saints game against the Detroit Lions last week may have noticed the offense had a different look to it than the one coach Kellen Moore trotted out in 2025. The Saints ran a league-high 86 plays against the Lions, and 26 of them featured quarterback Tyler Shough taking a snap un- ä Saints der center. That roughly at Ravens. 30% under-center rate noon Sunday, is a more than 10% incbS crease over their 2025 rate — and it likely would have been higher had the Saints not fallen behind 21-0. The under-center snaps weren’t a resounding success in Week 1 — Shough went 5 of 10 for 84 yards and a touchdown, while the running game mustered just 38 yards on 14 carries against Detroit — but New Orleans is going to stick with it. “We weren’t able to be under center as much as we had planned on,” Moore said, “but there were still some positive things in there. When the run game and the action game can play off each other and (throw) some dropback in there, all of that has added value.” Last season, the Saints never ran more than 23 under-center snaps in a game, according to NextGenStats, and only the Cincinnati Bengals (825) ran more snaps out of the shotgun than the Saints (815). But, like everyone else around the league this offseason, New Orleans studied the best offenses from 2025 and saw the way they were taking advantage of under-center snaps — which were up across the board in Week 1. As Moore alluded to, lining up with the quarterback directly behind the center opens different opportunities for the offense — in the run game, in opening up play-action off those runs, in the traditional drop-back game

Pelicans reward Bey with extension after strong season BY ROD WALKER Staff writer

Saddiq Bey was one of the bright spots in what was a dismal 2025-26 season for the New Orleans Pelicans. Now the Pelicans have reached a deal to extend one of their most consistent players. Bey and the Pelicans have agreed on a three-year, $55.5 million deal, a source confirmed to The Times-Picayune on Thursday evening. The Pelicans announced the agreement Friday morning. The deal also includes a trade kicker, meaning Bey can receive STaFF File PhoTo by daVid GrunFeld a bonus of his remaining salary if Pelicans trade him.

we are establishing in New Orleans with his toughness, work ethic and commitment to the team,” Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said in a written statement. Bey came to New Orleans in July 2025 as part of the trade that sent CJ McCollum to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Jordan Poole. At the time, many considered Bey to be a throw-in piece in the trade. After all, he had missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn ACL when playing with the Atlanta Hawks. Dumars didn’t see it that way, and he considered Bey an important piece in the trade. Bey delivered, averaging 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in his ﬁrst season in New Orleans. “He approaches every day with

a professional mindset, and we are excited about the role he will play in our future,” Dumars said. He was the team’s third-leading scorer behind Trey Murphy (21.5) and Zion Williamson (21.0). It was a refreshing comeback from the injury that sidelined him the season before. “I always believe in myself,” Bey said in an interview during the season. “I didn’t know what the product was going to look like. I was just hoping and praying that I was able to get back in enough of a rhythm to show everyone what I can do. But I still have a ways to go.” Bey started 64 of the 72 games he played in for the Pels. He scored a season-high 42 points against the

baltimore ravens quarterback lamar Jackson, left, talks to offensive coordinator declan doyle, right, during training camp on aug. 11 in owings mills, md. doyle started his nFl coaching career with the Saints.

Thursday, Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver either offered up some bulletin board material for the New Orleans Saints or paid quite the compliment to Tyler Shough. “He reminds me a little bit of a poor man’s Josh Allen,” Weaver said of the quarterback. Players typically don’t embrace being compared to other players — let alone a “poor man’s” version of anything. That said, Weaver praised Shough’s game by comparing him to the 2024 MVP who is regularly regarded as one of the best in the league. Weaver rejoined the Ravens this past offseason, but he faced Shough as a rookie when he served as the defensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins. Against Miami, Shough threw for 239 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 21-17 loss. But Shough almost led New Joshing around Orleans to a late-game comeback, During his news conference and the performance left Weaver

New Orleans keeps representation on NFL HOF committee Staff report

New Orleans will continue to have representation on the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee. Times-Picayune sports columnist Jeff Duncan has been named one of 28 members on the newly formed selection committee announced by Pro Football Hall of Fame ofﬁcials this week. Duncan has served on the selection committee for 14 years. In that time, he was the presenter for four Saints Hall of Famers: Morten Andersen (2017), Drew Brees (2026), Sam Mills (2022) and Willie Roaf (2012). Rickey Jackson was in the Class of 2010. Duncan succeeded former Times-Picayune columnist Peter Finney, who served on the selection committee for decades. The reduction from 50 to 28 committee members was part of a revision of the Hall’s bylaws and came after a comprehensive two-year review of the selection process conducted by Hall of Fame staff members, board members, Hall of Famers and selection committee members. As part of the overhaul, the Hall will implement a new selection process in which one person — not a member of the selection committee — will make all initial presentations at the annual selection meet-

PHOENIX — Three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge will miss most or all of the rest of the regular season after the New York Yankees announced Friday they are placing him on the 10-day injured list because of a right calf strain. New York said it will make the roster move on Saturday. The placement could be backdated to Thursday, meaning it is possible Judge could return for New York’s regular-season ﬁnale on Sept. 27. Judge was removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning Wednesday during a game against the Minnesota Twins because of the discomfort in his leg. At the time, he said it was a precautionary move. Judge was 4 for 26 with 13 strikeouts and one extra-base hit in seven games since returning last week from a broken rib.

Vikings to start QB Wentz against Chicago Bears

BY MATTHEW PARAS and LUKE JOHNSON Declan Doyle, one of the NFL’s brightest young coaches, will call offensive plays for the Ravens this Sunday against the Saints. It wasn’t that long ago that Doyle was getting his NFL coaching start in the Crescent City. The Saints hired Doyle as an offensive assistant to the 2019 Notebook prior season after he spent two seasons as a student assistant for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Doyle was just 23 years old when he joined the Saints, and he spent four years working under both Sean Payton and Dennis Allen. Speaking to reporters in Baltimore earlier this week, Doyle said he still keeps tabs on some of the players who remain with the Saints from his time there, including tight end Juwan Johnson. Doyle was one of the coaches who helped Johnson transition from an undrafted receiver to tight end. “I needed all the help I could get,” said Johnson, who last year ranked among the NFL receiving leaders at tight end. “... I didn’t know anything in the run game, I didn’t know defensive techniques, I didn’t know fronts. I didn’t know any of that stuff. He took the time to help me out with that.” Doyle rapidly has risen through the ranks. He left the Saints to join Payton’s staff with the Denver Broncos as tight ends coach in 2023, then spent last season as Ben Johnson’s offensive coordinator with the Chicago Bears. He was 29 years old when the Ravens hired him to serve as offensive play-caller this offseason. His ﬁrst game as the play-caller went as well as it could: Baltimore racked up 506 yards in a 4123 drubbing of the Indianapolis Colts.

ing rather than an individual selector representing the candidate’s market. Selectors no longer will be assigned to speciﬁc NFL teams by geographic region. And all players, regardless of their years retired from the game, will compete for election from the same player pool after the required ﬁve-year retirement waiting period. Respective subcommittees will determine one coach and one contributor candidate for election each year. The contributors category has been expanded and now may include tenure as a player and/or coach along with other contributions to the game. The coach and contributor candidates will join players on the list of individuals to be discussed at the annual meeting, which will return to inperson status after a six-year hiatus that began during the COVID pandemic. The selection committee also will return to an in-person annual meeting to consider candidates in three categories: players, coaches and contributors. The new selection committee will include Hall of Fame players Jared Allen, Dan Fouts and Will Shields. Fouts, who also serves as an NFL analyst for NBC Sports, has been a selection committee member for 10 years.

impressed. “Has all the arm talent in the world and can run,” Weaver told reporters in Baltimore. “I don’t think he gets enough credit for how good an athlete he is.” Saints offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier said he did not interpret Weaver’s comments as a jab. “Anytime you’re compared to somebody like Josh Allen, you’re a dang good player,” Nussmeier said. “So I think a lot of people take that as a compliment, but Tyler’s special in his own ways and obviously a lot of respect for coach Weaver and what he does.”

against the Baltimore Ravens. The Saints listed Olave (hamstring), Young (calf) and rookie defensive lineman Christen Miller (toe) as questionable for Week 2. All three were limited participants in Friday’s practice, Moore said. Moore said Young’s calf injury was not the same calf that sidelined him for ﬁve games last season. “We’ll just see (Saturday) how they’re feeling,” Moore said.

of success last season, and the Saints are one of several teams trying to incorporate that into their offense. One of the reasons the Rams were so successful with it was their unpredictability. At its core, 13 personnel is a heavy personnel package, which typically requires defenses to respond with its own heavier package. Los Angeles would then exploit matchups — passing when teams had an extra linebacker on the field, or running when they tried to defend with five defensive backs. New Orleans ran 214 plays under center last season (12.6 per game), and it passed on 26.6% of them. Last Sunday, the Saints’ 46.2% passing rate on under-center plays was the third-highest mark among NFL teams in Week 1. Of their 12 under-center passing plays, more than half (seven) included some form of play-action fake. The Saints almost exclusively passed the ball when they had three tight ends on the field last week. They played five offensive snaps in 13 personnel and passed four times, with three of those four passes including playaction. “That’s something we’ve been working on, trying to be more multiple from that standpoint — run game, drop-back, action, screens — we want to do all of that,” Shough said. “We’re going to continue to do that and try and hone it in. Game 1, was ultimately able to get some good stuff off it, and some stuff we’ve got to work on, too.”

— that aren’t available in the shotgun. “It forces people to defend different backﬁeld sets, and defenses do different things whether you’re under center or in the gun — they play you differently,” offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier said. “So for us, it’s an element of our offense, looking at some of the things in the offseason, that we felt we could grow. Obviously it has to ﬁt your personnel.” The Saints made their personnel fit this offseason. New Orleans signed notable free agents at running back, guard and tight end and also used a third-round pick on tight end Oscar Delp. With most of their new tools at their disposal — Delp was inactive with a hamstring injury — the Saints varied their personnel groupings and play calls in their under-center offense in a way they didn’t last season. Much was made this offseason about the Saints potentially leaning into 13 personnel (one running back, three tight ends) after signing Noah Fant and drafting Delp. Back when he was with the Dallas Cowboys, Moore was part of a group of play-callers who shifted the game toward creating space, directing offenses that heavily featured shotgun formations with three or more receivers. The pendulum is beginning to swing in the other direction. The Los Angeles Rams used Email Luke Johnson at 13 personnel with a high degree ljohnson@theadvocate.com.

MINNEAPOLIS — Carson Wentz will start at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, with Kyler Murray still in the NFL concussion protocol and ruled out for the game at Chicago. Murray was a limited participant in practice all week and simply ran out of time to make more progress after taking an illegal hit to the head in the ﬁrst quarter of his debut for Minnesota in the season opener. Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said he expects Murray to clear the protocol early next week and be able to play at Tampa Bay on Sept. 27. Murray took a jarring hit to the side of his helmet that drew an unnecessary roughness penalty on Green Bay safety Javon Bullard.

Hand injury forces Reed out of BMW Championship

VIRGINIA WATER, England — Patrick Reed was forced to retire from the BMW PGA Championship with a hand injury midway through the second round on Friday. The American was 9-over par for his round — and 5 over for the tournament — when he chose to stop playing and was seen being driven away from the 10th tee after hitting his drive. He appeared to be flexing his left hand. Reed shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to be two shots off the overnight lead at the flagship European tour event held at Wentworth. However, he had two sevens on his card in his second round — a triple on the par-4 first hole and a double on the par-5 fourth hole — as well as another double on No. 8.

Gerard takes lead by 2 in BMW Championship

VIRGINIA WATER, England — Ryan Gerard finished eagle-birdie to shoot a 7-under 65 on Friday and take a two-stroke lead after the second round of the BMW PGA Championship, which will not feature Patrick Reed, Tommy Fleetwood or Jon Rahm over the weekend. The No. 21-ranked Gerard moved to 12-under for the week at the flagship event on the European tour, showing the kind of form that would serve the U.S. team well at the upcoming Presidents Cup. The issue for the Americans is that Gerard, who was third at the Tour Championship last month, wasn’t picked by captain Brandt Snedeker for the 12-man roster. Gerard was bogey-free Friday and produced a big finish on the back-toback closing par 5s at Wentworth.

Jazz lock in guard George with multiyear extension

Jazz guard Keyonte George signed a multiyear extension Friday, securing for Utah a key element in its rebuilding project. The club did not announce the terms, but ESPN reported it was a ﬁve-year, $157.5 million extension. The deal takes him through the 203132 season. George, taken 16th in the 2023 NBA Draft, comes off a season in which he produced career highs of 23.6 points and 6.1 assists per game while averaging 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals. Utah has been in a major rebuild, winning a combined 39 games over the past two seasons. The Jazz have not produced a winning record since going 49-33 in the 2021-22 season, after which they overhauled their roster, trading Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.

PREDICTION KANSAS STATE 27,TULANE 20:

This one is not supposed to be close, but Kansas State and young first-year coach collin Klein have not been tested at all in matchups with nicholls and Washington State. Tulane found some answers offensively in its comeback win against South alabama and is capable of playing better defensively than it did in its first two games with the number of experienced players back this season. We don’t know if the Wave can hold up on the line of scrimmage on either side of the ball, but the guess here is yes before the deeper Power Four school comes through at the end. Guerry Smith

TULANE at KANSAS STATE

It was a rough Saturday for prognosticators. Preseason American Conference favorite Navy had no answer for Caden Veltkamp and Florida Atlantic’s passing attack in the league opener for both teams, and consensus No. 2 choice Memphis could not hang with Boise State at the same time its opening-week win at UNLV was devalued by the Rebels’ faceplant at North Texas. Anyone who thinks he or she has a good handle on the pecking order in the American is delusional. Most likely, we won’t learn much in Week 3, with 12 nonconference games on the slate and only one American team favored against an FBS opponent (Florida Atlantic vs. Florida International).

continued from page 5c (with two titles) are a conference record. None of those traits were in evidence at Duke, one reason why Kansas State (2-0) is a whopping 201/ 2-point favorite. The Wave’s 28-24 home win against South Alabama last Saturday was not exactly convincing, either, but Hall remains optimistic. “To beat a really good team on the road, you have to do a lot of things,” he said. “You can’t turn the football over. We’ve got to be great in the red zone. We’ve got to create some explosive plays. We’ve got to tackle well and get off the ﬁeld.” Both teams will be shorthanded. Tulane is down ﬁve starters because of injuries, losing left guard Elijah Baker and running back Jamauri McClure in preseason camp, wide receiver Zycarl Lewis at Duke, and tight end Ty Thomp-

son and linebacker Chris Rodgers against South Alabama. Kansas State lost starting left tackle John Pastore for the season during camp and will not have two other offensive linemen who were competing for jobs. Those absences did not affect the Wildcats in the first two games. They crushed Nicholls 71-3 in their opener, rolling up 559 yards and 34 first downs. They rushed for 295 yards last week, beating Washington State 34-7. If anything, their defense was even more impressive. The only touchdown Kansas State has allowed came on a pick-six as time ran out in the first half last week. First downs have been sparing, too. Nicholls managed nine. Washington State picked up 10. “They have a great defense,” Tulane running back Johnnie Daniels said. “The (ends Wendell Gregory and Jordan Allen) are good. We just have to come in, do our job and be ready to play.” Tulane has settled on a blocking unit of Ryan Mickow at left tack-

How they hold up against the best front the Wave has faced will be telling as it tries to get game-breaker Jaylin Lucas (214 yards on 11 carries against South Alabama) in space. The challenge on defense will be slowing down the running back tandem of Rodney Fields and Joe Jackson along with dual-threat quarterback Avery Johnson after the Wave surrendered 227 yards rushing to Duke’s Nate Sheppard. Fields averages 7.6 yards per carry and 103.0 yards through two games. Jackson, who pounded Utah for 292 yards in November, is gaining 6.2 yards per attempt. Johnson, starting his 29th consecutive game, is Kansas State’s all-time leader with 54 touchdown passes. He threw for 181 yards and ran for 40 in the Wildcats’ 34-27 come-frombehind win at Yulman Stadium two years ago, and he gained

78 yards on the ground against Washington State last week. “All these guys are big and agile, so we need to step up in our own right,” Tulane linebacker Makai Williams said. “Pressure builds diamonds.

Wide receiver Garrett Mmahat, and defensive linemen Kam Hamilton and Gerrod Henderson are the only remaining players from that team. The goal is to give Klein, who left Kansas State to become offensive coordinator at Texas A&M the past two years before returning to his alma mater, another miserable memory. “We can do it if we’re just not shooting ourselves in the foot,” wide receiver Destyn Hill said. “We need to be disciplined with no false starts, be secure with the ball and just not beat ourselves.”

An ampliﬁed victory nussmeier leads rummel to third straight megaphone win over Shaw

BY CHRISTOPHER DABE

Staff writer

Colton Nussmeier ran for a touchdown, and used his arm and legs to put Rummel in position for two more scores as the Raiders defeated Shaw 24-7 in the Megaphone game Friday at Joe Zimmerman Stadium. Rummel has won the annual rivalry game three years in a row and upped its series lead to 34-26. Nussmeier’s 12-yard touchdown run on a rollout to the left side capped the second-half opening drive and increased the Rummel lead to 17-0. The four-star transfer from a Texas high school later picked up a low snap and ran 23 yards to get into Shaw territory on a drive that ended with John Schnabel’s 4-yard touchdown run. His other critical play during a scoring drive came on a wellplaced pass to freshman Nicholas Womack on third-and-16 for a 23yard gain to the 4, setting up Rummel’s ﬁrst touchdown on a run by Coryan Hawkins. Those were the high points for Nussmeier, whose father is New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier and whose brother Garrett played quarterback for LSU last season. “He’s been around the block a good bit,” Rummel coach Nick Monica said fo the Georgia commitment. “He’s very composed. That’s kind of his personality at heart. Very cool, calm and collected. He plays the game that way.” Monica said Rummel’s only de-

He was able to run for some first downs.” Despite the win, Nussmeier was not satisfied with his 13-of-22 passing line for 109 yards. He ran eight times for 68 yards. “As a quarterback, I got to go out there and execute,” Nussmeier said. “I got to be better. I wasn’t good enough tonight for myself, and I got to be better going forward.” Rummel’s other points came on Joseph Delcid’s 31-yard field goal for a 10-0 lead in the second quarter. The Rummel defense kept Shaw from scoring through the first three quarters. Senior quarterback Red Shaw scored on fourth-and-goal from the 1 when he ran to the right, cut back to the left and crossed the

goal line. Red Shaw had a 51-yard run on the second play from scrimmage called back for holding. The Eagles failed to pick up a first down on four of its first five possessions. “They controlled the ball on offense,” Shaw coach Hank Tierney said. “We got some stuff going early, but we couldn’t sustain nothing, and we couldn’t get them off the field.” The Rummel seniors were freshmen the last time the school gave up the Megaphone to Shaw. “This feels good,” senior defensive lineman Russ Lewis said. “This is a hype game. Every year we want to come back home with it. I’m glad I was able to come back home with it for my senior year.” The win capped an impressive nondistrict run of wins against University High, Vandebilt Catholic and Shaw. Rummel (3-0) opens District 9-5A play Thursday against Chalmette. Shaw (2-1) will be home for a nondistrict game against E.D. White.

Holy Cross kicker Aguirre’s ‘dream’ comes true vs. Comets BY SPENCER URQUHART Staff writer

Holy Cross senior Drew Aguirre had been waiting for his chance to make a game-winning field goal. Aguirre got an opportunity to send his team home with an overtime win in Friday’s Week 3 matchup between Holy Cross and St. Charles Catholic, which was tied 7-7 at the end of regulation. St. Charles got the ball first in the overtime period, but Holy Cross prevented the Comets from scoring after forcing a fumble and recovering it. Aguirre went on to drill a 20-yard field goal to send his team home with a 10-7 road win at St. Charles. “(The game-winning kick) is something that you dream about,” Aguirre said. “I’m just so grateful that I was even put in a situation to go do it for my team. Shoutout to the defense. They did great getting that (fumble) at the end there.” Holy Cross ran the ball three straight times prior to Aguirre’s kick on fourth down to defeat St. Charles, the reigning Division II select state champion. It was Agu-

irre’s first game-winning kick. Only seven points were scored in the first half. Both defenses started off strong, as the Tigers and Comets offenses combined for just five first downs in the opening half. “(St. Charles) is a great program,” Holy Cross coach Scott Wattigny said. “We played a really good first half, especially defensively, so that 7-0 lead really felt a lot bigger than what it really was. We got turnovers, fourth-down stops. It was a tremendous effort.” Holy Cross got on the scoreboard first when senior wide receiver Talon Meyers jumped to catch a pass over the middle of the field from senior quarterback Cooper Odle. Meyers went 68 yards to the end zone to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead. St. Charles answered back to begin the second half, as the Comets got the ball first and capped off a long drive with a 1-yard touchdown by senior running back Evan Duffour, who finished with 99 yards rushing on 26 carries. “We got outplayed,” St. Charles coach Wayne Stein said. “(The Holy Cross) defense dominated

the line of scrimmage. Our defense put us in position to score a bunch of points early, and we end up losing because our offense didn’t show up.” Holy Cross played two quarterbacks, with Odle rotating with sophomore Garrett Chittenden. The two passed for a total of 96 yards on 3-of-8 passing, and Meyers was their top receiving target with two catches for 93 yards. St. Charles senior quarterback Landree LeBlanc completed 10 of 14 passes for 35 yards and an interception. Holy Cross senior Savoy Guidry, a Stanford commitment, picked off LeBlanc with less than two minutes remaining in the ﬁrst half. Holy Cross (2-1) heads into district play with momentum after winning two straight contests. Up next for the Tigers is the reigning state champion Edna Karr next Thursday on the road. St. Charles (2-1) had won two straight overtime games to start 2026. The Comets will look to get back in the win column on the road against De La Salle next Friday.

Brother Martin wideout Micah Irons continued his dominant junior season Friday night, catching two touchdowns in the first half for the second week in a row in a 56-6 win over Warren Easton at Tad Gormley Stadium. His first score set the tone for the matchup, giving Brother Martin the lead just 30 seconds in on a 12-yard slant. “All glory to God man, I wouldn’t be here without Jesus, this team wouldn’t be out here,” Irons said. “We’ve just been putting in the work — a lot of hard work.” Irons finished the game with two catches for 32 yards and two scores for the Crusaders, who start the year 3-0. His four touchdown catches lead Brother Martin on the year. Quarterbacks Hudson Fields and Justin Morgan each contributed three touchdowns for the Crusaders, doing damage both in the air and with their legs. Fields completed 2 of 4 passes for 18 yards and two touchdowns and added a 25-yard rushing score. Morgan went 5-of-6 passing for 74 yards and three passing touchdowns with five carries for 58 yards. “They complement each other so well. Justin is a really hard runner; he also has a bazooka on him,” Irons, who caught touchdown passes from both quarterbacks, said. “Hudson man, his reads and his IQ — he just gets so much better every week.” The most explosive play of the opening frame came on special

teams. After multiple Crusaders got in to block a short field goal attempt by the Eagles, Andrew Dyson picked up the ball and ran it back 90 yards to put his squad up 14-0 just five minutes in. Five minutes into the second quarter, Irons made the score 210, bringing in a 20-yard pass from Morgan. After Fields ran in a 25-yard score to make the contest 28-0, five-star senior receiver Easton Royal found a way to get in on the Crusader fun. With 2:10 to go in the half, the Texas commit caught a pass from Morgan in the right flat and ran it in for a 12-yard touchdown to extend the lead. By halftime, Brother Martin had tallied 222 yards and held a 35-6 lead. In the third quarter, Royal continued to show his brilliance, capping a seven-play drive for the Crusaders by catching a pass from Morgan in the back corner of the end zone over two defenders to make it 42-6. Royal finished the game with four touches for 47 yards and two touchdown catches. By the time the game was over, Brother Martin had scored 56 points and put up 389 yards of offense. “Feels great man, confidence,” Irons said. “I think we really put ourselves on the map. At the beginning of the season, people doubted us. We’ll keep our heads down, stay humble, and we’ll surprise people.” Next, Brother Martin will face Jesuit at Tad Gormley at 7 p.m. next Friday. At the same time, Warren Easton (0-3) will take the field at Zachary.

Chalmette QB churns up Salmen with his legs BY DARRELL WILLIAMS contributing writer

Brees Wilson became Chalmette’s career leader in passing yards on Friday night against Salmen. But his play against the Spartans seemed like a video of him running roughshod with the ball, as he gained 169 yards and a touchdown on the ground while carrying the Owls to a 24-6 victory at Bobby Nuss Stadium. The victory put Chalmette at 3-0 heading into its District 9-5A opener Thursday against Rummel at Joe Yenni Stadium, the Owls first year in the district after being in districts 8-5A and 7-5A in recent years. Salmen is 1-2. Wilson was just 3-of-8 passing for 39 yards on Friday, but his feet more than made up for it. “I could have thrown the ball better, but it feels great the way we ran the ball,” said Wilson, a three-year starter. “Our offensive line just really opened up holes, and we had a lot of success with our power (sweep) play and our counters.” Chalmette coach Jason Tucker dismissed the off-night passing. “We wanted to control the ball, control the clock,” he said. “Brees is the guy who stirs the drink for this team. “Last year, we were (leading) by 10 in the fourth quarter (against Salmen) and we lost. So, we circled this game on our schedule this year. We really were focused like it was a playoff game, on not letting that happen again.” The Owls took control from the start, helped by a Salmen fumble on the opening kickoff. A ﬁerce Chalmette run defense propelled the Owls to a 17-0 halftime lead. Wilson rushed for 112 yards

and a touchdown on 12 carries in the first half. His biggest run, for 41 yards up the middle to the Spartans’ 2, came with 34 seconds left in the half. Two plays later, he scored from 1 yard with 16 seconds left for a 17-0 lead. On the opening kickoff, Salmen’s Kevin Smiles fielded a high, short kick at the 20, was hit by Carrese Hodges at the 35 and fumbled. The ball was recovered by the Hassan Kelsey for the Owls. Chalmette gained 21 yards on its first two plays, runs by Quitman Johnson and Wilson. On the fifth play of the possession, Daveigh Fink went off right tackle on a counter play for a 12-yard touchdown at 9:57 of the first quarter. “We had that fumble on the opening kickoff, which gave (Chalmette) an extra possession, and then we had problems on offense ourselves,” Salmen coach Eric Chuter said. “Their defensive line gave us problems. We only had 17 snaps in the first half. “We knew that Wilson was a tough, slippery kid that is hard to bring down. He had that big run right before the half that really hurt us. They scored, and all of a sudden, it’s 17-0 at the half instead of 10-0, which we still would have been in the game.” Chalmette made it 10-0 with its next possession, which was kept alive by a fake punt on a 1-yard run by Bryson Riviere, who received a short snap. When the drive stalled at the Spartans’ 19, Tristan DeBose kicked a 36-yard field goal at 10:14 of the second quarter. The Owls held Salmen to only two first downs — one passing and one rushing in the first half. Salmen gained just 60 yards in the first half.

Blocked punt helps spark St. Paul’s past De La Salle BY JOSEPH HALM Staff writer

Trailing at halftime by a point to De La Salle, St. Paul’s needed a spark. Senior William Kenny provided that flame as he blocked a Cavaliers punt that Christopher Bevolo recovered in the end zone to regain the lead en route to a 42-30 nondistrict victory at Hunter Stadium on Sept. 18. “It came down to how each team was going to finish drives in the second half,” St. Paul’s coach Joshua Gast said. “The blocked punt was really the momentum that we needed. We found ways to get it in when it counted, so hopefully, we can build off of that.” St. Paul’s (1-2) actually only ran two offensive plays in the third quarter, but went from trailing by a point to holding a 13-point lead. After a goal-line stand as St. Paul’s senior Adam Connell came up with a fourth-down tackle, Wolves junior Christian Martin broke through

the line and raced 99 yards for a 35-22 lead. “I knew they couldn’t catch me, so I just had to hit the jets,” said Martin, who ﬁnished with 145 yards rushing on five carries. “I thought I might get caught, but I just kept looking forward. As soon as I saw green, I just went.” Three different Wolves scored rushing TDs, including Patrick Gahagan, Adam Connell and Martin, but the key moment was still Kenny’s punt block to shift the momentum. “I just knew I had an opportunity to shoot that gap, and I did,” Kenny said. “We saw the bust in their blocking scheme, so I knew I could make the play. It was great. I’m proud of our team for ﬁghting back and coming back tonight.” De La Salle’s offense racked up 420 yards led by Eamon Williams, who finished with 177 yards rushing on 27 carries and three TDs. He also ran in three 2-point conversions. Quar-

terback Alericq Valentine was 22-of-34 passing for 204 yards. Drake Joseph led all receivers with 69 yards on five catches. The only thing that could slow down either team in the first half was penalties. The teams combined for 471 yards of offense and 16 penalties for 107 yards in the opening half. De La Salle (0-3) relied on the legs of Williams, who scored three times and converted on two 2-point conversion runs, as the visitors took a 22-21 halftime lead. Neither team could stop the other until the final moments, as the Cavaliers went for it on fourth down on the SPS 7. Martin broke up a pass in the end zone to end the threat and maintain the one-point halftime margin. The Wolves offense was nearly unstoppable in the first half as Gahgan scored on a 9-yard TD run for the first score, but he had two TD runs called back by holding penalties. Connell added TD runs of 1 and 18 yards.

Jesuit was missing one of its top playmakers, senior wide receiver Ja’ir Burks, to an injury in the Blue Jays’ nondistrict game against Bonnabel on Friday night at Joe Yenni Stadium. Jesuit did not miss a beat and showcased its depth on offense as five players scored touchdowns in a 48-7 win against the Bruins. “I was proud of the way our guys showed out tonight, even with (Burks) down,” said quarterback Sully Sullivan, who finished with 89 yards and two touchdowns through the air and another 11 yards on the ground. “Tonight showed that we could still move the ball down the field, and that we’re not reliant on one guy.” The Blue Jays (3-0) took their first possession and quickly drove down the field after Sullivan connected with Braden Chadwick for 35 yards into the red zone. After an 11-yard run by the junior quarterback, Michael Cerruti punched the ball into the end zone from 3 yards out to give his team a 7-0 lead with 7:15 left in the opening frame. Jesuit scored in three

plays on its next possession when Sullivan found Hayes Mestayer on a 15yard touchdown catch for a 14-0 lead with 4:48 left in the ﬁrst quarter. The senior was second on the team in receiving with three catches for 50 yards. Mani Vandenweghe, who rotated in at quarterback with Sullivan, tossed a 55yard touchdown pass to Benjamin Neff to start the second quarter to give Jesuit a 21-0 lead. Vandenweghe and Sullivan combined to go 8 of 10 for 179 yards and three touchdowns. Cerruti added a 7-yard touchdown run, and Logan Sterbcow hauled in a 9-yard scoring pass from Sullivan to give Jesuit a 34-0 halftime lead. “We have great leadership,” Jesuit coach Ryan Manale said. “I’m very happy with our senior and junior classes. “We have some very talented role players with some sophomores. We’re improving.” Bonnabel (1-2) had some success moving the ball but could not ﬁnd the end zone until late in the game. Quarterback Elijah White had 52 yards on seven carries and threw for 85 yards and a touchdown, where he con-

nected with Raheem Williams on a 49-yard catchand-run scoring play. Running back Kenyon Harper added 67 yards on 14 carries. Reid Toscano had a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and Oliver Hartman added a 13-yard scamper in the final frame to complete the scoring for Jesuit. Even more impressive than the offensive output for Jesuit, the team committed zero penalties. “Coach Manale always preaches it and to be as detailed as we can,” Sullivan said. “Being detailed is the essence of everything. That’s really good from both sides of the ball.” Jesuit will open Catholic League play next week when it takes on Brother Martin at Tad Gormley Stadium. “We need to focus on being the best version of ourselves,” Manale said. “In this league, we need to make sure we are playing inspired ball for each other. We’re not really worried about the other team. We know how talented and well-coached Brother Martin is. We have to make sure we’re putting our best foot forward.”

Bridge By PHILLIP ALDER Louis Pasteur, a French 19th-century chemist and bacteriologist who created the first vaccines for anthrax and rabies, said, “Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.” This week we have been looking at active and passive defense. But also while the defenders are wondering whether to go after tricks or to sit back and wait for declarer to donate them, they must not lose sight of their target: the number of tricks they need to defeat the contract. In this deal, South is in four spades. How should East defend after West leads the heart king? West opened with a weak two-bid, showing a good six-card suit and 5-10 high-card points. East applied the Law of Total Tricks. (When your side does not have the high-card values for game, bid to the 10-trick level with 10 combined trumps.) He hoped to silence the opponents, but South had enough to overcall four spades. (Whenever the opponents pre-empt to four hearts, intervene with a bid of four spades with any reasonable excuse.) East should not thoughtlessly encourage with his seven. South will happily ruff West’s heart continuation, draw trumps and run the diamonds.

East knows that West has six hearts and, therefore, that South has only one. And dummy’s diamond suit is threatening. East should actively overtake the heart king with his ace and shift to the club queen. Here, this works perfectly, resulting in four spades one down instead of one over. © 2026 by nEa, inc., dist.

Prompt treatment can help minimize damage from end-of-summer pests Cool fronts may (hopefully) make their way through south Louisiana this month, bringing a reprieve from high temperatures. After a long summer, gardeners and plants are more than ready for cooler weather. Even without cool fronts, the days are getting shorter. Around mid-September, we begin to notice the sun rising a little later, and it gets dark earlier. There is less time for the sun to heat the earth. High temperatures will linger well into October, but we are through the most intense heat of summer. As we transition to milder weather, this is also

the time when insect pests have had all summer to build up population levels. As a result, it is not unusual to see a variety of insect problems this time of year.

Now’s the time to divide La. irises BY DAN GILL

contributing writer

I’ve heard it’s time to divide Louisiana irises, but I need information on how to do it. — Jessie Louisiana Garden irises may be divided anytime advice from August to early October. To divide your irises, dig up a clump using a shovel or garden fork. Be careful not to damage the rhizomes. Locate the young, new rhizomes that have small fans of green foliage at their tips. These rhizomes will bloom next year. Cut or break those rhizomes (generally about 6 inches long or less) from the old rhizomes that do not show new growth. The old rhizomes are generally discarded, although you could use these for propagation purposes. Replant the divisions immediately back into the bed. Louisiana irises grow best in a sunny location and may be planted in wet areas, aquatic gardens or regular garden beds. Plant the rhizomes hori-

STaFF File PhoTo by SoPhia Germer

louisiana irises can be dug up and divided now. zontally 8 to 12 inches apart with the fan of foliage facing the direction you want the plant to grow, and carefully cover all the roots. The top of the rhizome should be about one-half inch below the soil surface. Mulch the bed about 2 inches deep and water thoroughly. Late summer to fall is also a good time to purchase and plant new Louisiana irises.

The Greater New Orleans Iris Society will have a Louisiana iris rhizome sale from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 24, at Longue Vue House and Gardens, 7 Bamboo Road. Do you have any idea what is causing these mounds of soil? They are all over my backyard. I thought they were mole crickets, but I’ve treated the area several times without effect. — Julie

GARDEN TIPS EVALUATE CALADIUM PLANTINGS: When the plants begin to look less attractive and about two-thirds of the leaves have fallen over, it’s time to dig the tubers. caladiums may return the next year if left in the ground, but it is more reliable to dig them up and store them indoors through the winter. dig the tubers carefully, leaving the foliage attached, and spread them out in a well-ventilated area to dry. When the foliage is brown, pull it from the tubers and brush off any soil. Store them in paper or net bags. FOR BUDS TO BLOOM: camellia flower buds are starting to swell but will generally not bloom until november or december. Water through october if the weather is dry. drought in the fall can cause buds not to open properly when it is time for them to bloom. BUY BULBS: order spring bulbs for november arrival. The best

selection is found at mail-order companies online, but be sure to also check local nurseries and garden centers. you can go ahead and purchase bulbs now while the selection is still good, but there is no rush to plant them. november is when we plant most spring bulbs. Tulips and hyacinths bloom best if the bulbs are refrigerated in early november and planted in late december or early January. STAYING DRY: late September can be dry (won’t that be nice), and october is often one of our drier months. check lawns, shrubs, flowerbeds and vegetable gardens regularly. irrigate when needed.

GREEN THUMB PESTS

continued from page 4 While enjoying the slightly more comfortable weather, keep an eye out for insects that may damage bedding plants, vegetables, shrubs and trees in your landscape. Prompt and proper treatment can help minimize damage and make control efforts more effective.

Whitefly One of the worst pests of late summer is the whitefly, which is snow white and a little bigger than a gnat. Clouds of them will fly up from a heavily infested plant when it is shaken. Both adults and immature whiteflies feed on the plant by sucking the sap from the foliage. Infested plants will have a sickly appearance and dull leaves. A black deposit called sooty mold often appears, and leaves may turn yellow and fall off (sooty mold may also be caused by other sucking insects such as aphids and scale). Whiteflies often infest hibiscus, Confederate rose, lantana, mallow, poinsettia, gardenias, citrus and some bedding plants. Many vegetables are susceptible to whiteflies, including tomatoes, eggplant, okra and sweet potatoes. Controlling whiteflies can be difficult. On ornamentals, you can use a light horticultural oil, neem oil or bifenthrin. Systemic insecticides like acephate, imidacloprid or dinotefuran are also effective. In the vegetable garden and on fruit trees (citrus are prone to whiteflies), a light horticultural spray (YearRound Spray Oil, All Seasons Spray Oil and other brands) or neem oil are effective organic options. Be sure to spray thoroughly under the leaves following label directions. When daytime highs are in the 90s, spray during the cooler early morning hours. It will take repeated applica-

Stinging caterpillars Stinging caterpillars are often around in the landscape in late summer feeding on a variety of plants. Look out for the tan, furry puss moth caterpillar; the square-shaped, brightly colored saddleback caterpillar; and the green, spiny IO moth caterpillar. Stinging caterpillars produce a very painful sting when touched. The irritation is caused by hollow spines that puncture the skin and release venom into the wound. Caution children against touching any caterpillar. Stings most commonly occur on hands or arms as gardeners work among shrubs. Wear gloves and long sleeves to help prevent this. To control these pests, physically destroy as many as you can (knock them to the ground and step on them). Then, spray the plants with spinosad. The LSU AgCenter has an excellent online publication on stinging caterpillars that includes color photographs. To view it, do an internet

search for “LSU AgCenter stinging caterpillars.”

Scale insects Numerous types of scale insects often go unnoticed since they do not really look like insects. They are covered with a protective shell and do not move once they settle on the plant. They may appear as white, brown or tan dots, dashes or bumps on the foliage or stems of plants. They detach easily when pushed with your thumbnail. Some scales, and the closely related mealybugs, produce a white cottony covering over their bodies. This time of year, magnolia scale will show up on various types of magnolias. It looks like yellowish-tan blobs of wax on branches and twigs. Florida wax scale is also common on many shrubs and appears as white, round bumps on leaves and stems. Lots of sooty mold occurs with these scales. Systemic insecticides, such as imidacloprid or a light horticultural oil, are effective in controlling scales. Several applications of horticultural oil will be necessary.

GREEN THUMB PESTS

continued from page 6

Pink hibiscus mealybugs I’ve gotten several emails recently about a pest that commonly attacks hibiscus and altheas. Pink hibiscus mealybugs are covered with a white, fuzzy or powdery material. They cluster on new growth and buds of hibiscus and feed by sucking out the sap. They also inject toxic compounds that can seriously damage or even kill a plant. Infested plants lose vigor and look unhealthy with lots of yellowing leaves. Pink hibiscus mealybugs can be controlled with several applications of a light horticultural oil, or you could use a contact insecticide like one of the pyrethroids (permethrin, bifenthrin, cyﬂuthrin or others). Imidacloprid, applied as a soil drench, can also control pink hibiscus mealybugs, either alone or in conjunction with the insecticides mentioned.

ADVICE

continued from page 5 These mounds are caused by earthworm activity (often mistaken for mole crickets). Earthworms feed by ingesting soil as they tunnel underground. They digest what they can from the soil and excrete the rest. They generally travel up to the soil surface to deposit their droppings, called worm castings. Those are the mounds of small, BB-sized pellets you see on the surface of the soil. This process occurs in all lawns, but when grass is thickly covering the soil, you don’t see it. In areas where the lawn grass is thin, or there is no grass growing, the mounds of earthworm castings are much more noticeable. Earthworms are beneﬁcial to plants, including lawns. Their activity aerates the soil, and the worm castings they produce are rich in essential minerals that plants need to be healthy (you can even buy worm castings to use as fertilizer). There is no need for concern about this earthworm activity, and there is nothing you need to do. Can you recommend an efficient chemical product for the removal of tree

stumps? — Butch Chemicals applied to tree stumps do not remove the stump. They simply speed up the decomposition process, so it only takes one to three years for the stump to decay instead of years longer. It’s a slow process, but it will eventually work. Look for stump removal products that contain potassium nitrate and follow package directions. The nitrogen encourages fungi and bacteria activity, allowing them to decompose the stump faster and more efﬁciently. It is also help-

ful to keep the stump moist. You can even mound soil over the stump and water it occasionally, but it still takes time. If you want the stump gone sooner rather than later, have it ground out by a commercial tree company. Dan Gill is a retired consumer horticulture specialist with the LSU AgCenter.

Local grower is fascinated by ‘varied, intelligent’ orchids BY JYL BENSON

Orchids were once so prized that they fueled a Victorian-era collecting craze, with enthusiasts risking everything to obtain rare specimens. Today, propagation methods, such as tissue culture, have made them widely available and generally affordable. Orchids stand out as ﬂowering houseplants and thoughtful gifts. Their exotic, sculptural beauty pairs with easy care and remarkable longevity. Unlike cut ﬂowers, which fade within days, orchid blooms can last for months, while well-tended plants may thrive for decades.

He started the company, which he named for his dog, in 2022 after working with plants for over 20 years, first as a volunteer farmer and later professionally. He acquired his first orchid in 2021, and the experience sparked a desire to learn all he could about the plant. “At the same time, I bought my first house, which happened to come with a full side lot, the perfect size for a greenhouse,” Myers said. “(Orchids) are the most varied, fascinating and intelligent plants I have ever grown. I’m the only one in Orleans Parish doing this.” Myers grows orchids for nurseries and sells directly to consumers through his website (foofooorchids.com). His greenhouse is open by appointment.

Above all, I want to teach others about orchids, share what I’ve learned and build community. I offer spring classes, speak to orchid societies across the state and occasionally talk with children. We carry a bit of everything but focus mainly on cattleya hybrids, species and mounted orchids. Jyl Benson writes about homes and gardens. Email her at jylbenson@ gmail.com.

Butterflies have long represented transformation in cultures across the globe, and in the modern Jewish faith, they help illustrate the concept of tshuvah, or spiritual metamorphosis. Rabbis often use the life cycle to teach about shedding old habits, embracing change and realizing potential. Those are the tenets of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement and the holiest day of the year in Judaism, which begins Sunday. As devout members of the faith, Bruce and Ellie Wainer keep the butterfly’s symbolism central to their Old Metairie home with a joyous, multicolored metal sculpture called “Book of Life” by David Kracov.

one. Chandeliers are showing up in living rooms, bedrooms, entryways, even big bathrooms. Place a chandelier somewhere unexpected and you can instantly create a focal point. 2. Let it set the mood: Lighting is about so much more than brightness. Your chandelier sets the tone for the entire room. An oversized drum shade feels tailored and polished. Sculptural glass leans modern and artful. Warm metals bring softness and a little glamour. Decide how you want the room to feel and let the design be your guide. 3. Scale matters more than style: A common mistake is a fixture that’s too small. A tiny chandelier floating in a big room just disappears. A generous one makes the whole space feel grander. When in doubt, go a bit bigger. 4. Give every room its own personality: Your fixtures don’t need to match from room to room. Each one should suit the space it lives in. A bold, sculptural piece over the dining table can pair beautifully with something softer and quieter in the

match. 5. Use lighting to define open spaces: In an open floor plan, chandeliers can help to define a space; for example, separating a dining space from a living space to create distinct zones. 6. Mix materials: Don’t be afraid to mix materials, such as brass with glass or metal with wood. 7. Don’t forget the bedroom: The right chandelier can bring instant luxury and turns an ordinary room into something that feels like a luxury hotel. It’s one of the easiest and most affordable upgrades one can make. 8. Consider every angle: A chandelier is rarely seen from just one angle. Choosing the right chandelier can make a statement from multiple rooms in a home. File PhoTo by JeFF STrouT 9. Layer your lighting: A chandelier should almost never be Think of a chandelier as the the only light in a room. Pair jewelry of the room, the piece it with lamps, sconces and that pulls every other element recessed lighting so you can into focus. shift the mood as the day goes on. Layer your lighting. 10. Be bespoke: Instead of lightbedroom. Tie them together ing being “off the rack,” conwith a shared finish or material, and the whole home feels sider purchasing from local collected instead of needing to craftspeople and artisans.

Husband is crossing the line online lll

Dear Annie: My husband has recently become obsessed with Twitter. He spends hours a day on his computer away from his family. I’ve supported this unusual hobby Annie until recently. Lane I noticed he dear annie and another female Tweeter calling each other “besties,” and they have cute nicknames for each other. I confronted my husband about it, and he told me that it was just for the “audience” and that I’m being jealous. After more digging, I found some personal messages between them where he tells her

how amazing she is and how he can’t wait to grow with her. Not only that, but he also said some very negative and inappropriate things about me — his wife — to this random woman. I’m devastated and humiliated. What should I do?! — Naive Wife? Dear Naive Wife: Having an online outlet to explore interests and make friends is one thing; crossing boundaries and disrespecting your partner is another. Even if your husband were a major social media inﬂuencer, it wouldn’t excuse putting down his wife or fostering this kind of relationship with another woman for an “audience.” Don’t let him dismiss your feelings as jealousy. Tell him plainly that his relationship

with this woman — and especially the way he’s spoken about you to her — has damaged your trust and humiliated you. Then ask what he’s willing to do to repair that damage. A couple’s counselor can help you both address what’s happened and begin rebuilding what’s been broken. Dear Annie: My daughter, now a married adult with a son, and I have always had a good relationship. I’ve helped her in all the important moments of her life, including her studies, which I ﬁnanced, her wedding and the birth of her son. Today she is in a good ﬁnancial position, and she and her husband live comfortably. The one rough spot in our relationship is politics. During the

last election, she tried to convince me to vote for her party. She is a Democrat. I didn’t vote this way as I am a Republican, and I have different opinions. I know she has friends who feed her political beliefs, and now she thinks my family and I are her enemies because we don’t believe the same things she does. Because of this, she has cut ties with me and doesn’t allow me to have a relationship with my grandson. What do you think about this situation? — Politically Estranged Dear Politically Estranged: Yours is a sad situation and an increasingly common one. I’ve received letters from readers on both sides of the political aisle who

feel the same heartache you do. You have beliefs you’re not willing to walk away from, and the same is true of your daughter. Instead of focusing on the political divide between you, focus on the relationship you hope to rebuild. Send her a short letter telling her you love and miss her and your grandson, and that you’re always there if she ever wants to talk. Don’t debate, defend or try to change her mind. Give her some space and time, but keep the door open. Hopefully, one day, she’ll walk back through it.
