Landry, Benson attend Mass at Notre Dame, take part in Saints Parisian activities BY JEFF DUNCAN Staff writer

PARIS — The front row of the congregation for the noon Mass on Thursday at Notre Dame Cathedral featured a Holy Trinity of Louisiana power brokers: Saints owner Gayle Benson, ﬂanked to her left by Gov. Jeff Landry and to her right by Archbishop James Francis Checchio. Moments after the 90-minute service concluded, Checchio turned to Landry and pointed to the statue of St. Landry, one of six saints with dedicated chapels

flanking the altar in the historic cathedral. “Hey, maybe we have a second Saint Landry here,” Checchio said. “Yeah, and my first miracle could be the Saints getting a win in Paris!” Landry quipped, eliciting a hearty laugh from Benson and Checchio. Mass was a welcome respite for the trio during a busy day of meetings and events here as the festivities surrounding the NFL’s first-ever game in France build toward kickoff of the New Orleans Saints against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. After conducting a couple of

interviews with New Orleans-based media outlets, the group headed quickly to a lunch meeting, then was scheduled to attend the Saints practice that afternoon in Versailles. Their day was scheduled to conclude with an exclusive, invite-only party at the palatial Hotel de Pontalba, the residence of Charles Kushner, U.S. ambassador to France, in the city’s 8th arrondissement. The visit to Notre Dame was also part of a VIP experience for donors to the “Two

Mayor Helena Moreno’s administration on Thursday identified spending priorities for possible property tax increases, fulfilling calls by some City Council members for more direction as they prepare to vote on a millage “roll forward” that could net $21 million for the city’s general fund. Moreno wants to use the money to restore the low-bar- Moreno rier homeless shelter, free legal services for renters facing eviction and more than 30 positions in the sanitation department, among other programs and services that will be cut from the 2027 city budget without more revenue. Administration officials presented Moreno’s priorities to the council’s Budget Committee, whose chair, District B council member Lesli Harris, was among those asking for clarification on how exactly the additional revenue might translate to better services. “These priorities, I think, align with a lot of what we can agree on here as a council,” Harris said

7.0 quake hits Tibet, killing 16, injuring 32 BEIJING — A magnitude 7 earthquake hit China’s Tibet region on Thursday evening, killing at least 16 people, injuring 32 and collapsing hundreds of homes in the northern regional city of Nagqu, official media said. Search and rescue efforts continued following the collapse of at least 339 homes, the Nagqu media office said, citing city government officials. Among the injured, 11 people were in serious condition and the other 21 sustained minor injuries, the media office said. Rescue teams from police and fire departments were building tents to house people displaced by the quake. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake occurred at 10:33 p.m., with its epicenter 119 miles east-northeast of Nagqu, in a sparsely populated, highaltitude area of northern Tibet.

Josephine brings winds to Eastern Seaboard MIAMI — Josephine, which forecasters described as a “powerful extratropical low” system with tropical storm-force winds, remained offshore in the Atlantic on Thursday but brought impacts including coastal ﬂooding and gale-force winds to the Eastern Seaboard. Large swells that could create life-threatening surf and rip current conditions were possible along the coast up to Atlantic Canada, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in an advisory. Josephine had maximum sustained winds of 65 mph. It was centered about 235 miles eastsoutheast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, moving northeast at 17 mph. The hurricane center said Josephine was forecast to continue moving away from the United States and remain south of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. It was expected to continue gaining strength and become “a powerful extratropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds.” Tropical Storm Vance was well off Mexico’s southern coast and was forecast to intensify and become a hurricane and then a major hurricane by the weekend.

Pentagon puts limits on troops’ betting WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a new directive telling troops they cannot use “nonpublic information” to make bets on prediction markets. “Our enemies watch movements in these markets,” Hegseth wrote in a memo dated Tuesday and reviewed by The Associated Press. “When an American Service member, intelligence professional, or other Department civilian engages in a ﬁnancial transaction on a military outcome, they create a signal.” The one-page document, which was reported earlier by CBS News, comes months after a U.S. Special Forces soldier involved in the military operation to capture then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was charged with using classified information about the mission to win more than $400,000 on the prediction market Polymarket. The memo stresses that troops are forbidden from using both classified and unclassified but nonpublic information to make trades on platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. It says violators could be subject to administrative punishment and criminal charges.

Trump ordered to sit for deposition

can alter the trial schedule, position could be recorded on video President has accused BBC of defamation case and the defense said it would be but only for attorneys, meaning it

BY DAVID FISCHER

Associated Press

MIAMI — A federal judge on Thursday ordered President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC by Dec. 11. The order from U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett came as lawyers for the British broadcaster complained that Trump had delayed his appearance in his own lawsuit. Charles Tobin, attorney for the BBC, said that with two months left in the discovery period, “we still haven’t been able to depose the plaintiff.” Meanwhile, it remained uncertain whether former special counsel Jack Smith would be allowed to sit for a deposition. Federal rules require current and former employees to receive permission from agency heads before testifying in court cases. Smith has requested permission but has not

received an answer, and the judge ruled that the department must respond to him by Nov. 2. In arguments about Trump’s deposition, Tobin noted there had been an agreed-upon date of Oct. 16, but Trump had canceled it for a “matter of national importance.” He said the Republican president was in fact campaigning in Georgia that day. “He was participating in party politics and prioritized that over sitting for the deposition,” Tobin said. Lett said Trump must sit for a deposition by Dec. 11, or face sanctions up to dismissal of his lawsuit — unless the discovery period is extended by the presiding judge. Discovery, where lawyers for both sides exchange documents and other evidence, is scheduled to end Dec. 18, and the BBC’s attorneys want to make sure they have Trump’s deposition before that deadline. Lett said only the presiding judge assigned to the

open to scheduling the deposition at a later time if the trial schedule was also changed. Trump, who has often avoided depositions, filed his lawsuit against the BBC last December. He accused the publicly funded broadcaster of defamation as well as deceptive and unfair trade practices related to a documentary, “Trump: A Second Chance.” The BBC acknowledged that filmmakers spliced together quotes from different sections of the speech Trump delivered to his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, before the storming of the U.S. Capitol, to make it seem he was directly urging violence. The broadcaster apologized over the editing, and the head of the BBC and its top news executive both resigned. But the BBC has denied Trump’s claims that it defamed him. Trump’s attorneys also argued against recording his deposition on video, asking for only a court reporter. The judge ruled that the de-

wouldn’t be released to the public. To bolster its defense, the broadcaster subpoenaed former special counsel Jack Smith earlier this month. Trump’s lawyers have argued that there is no good reason for Smith, who is not a party to the case, to appear. The BBC has said Smith has extensive knowledge of what happened that day. Earlier in the hearing, Tobin, the BBC lawyer, argued that Smith has not objected to being deposed for this case, meaning the only objection is coming from Trump. Tobin said the BBC is not trying to relitigate the events of Jan. 6, but Smith is one of the leading experts in what happened that day, and his deposition could lead the BBC to evidence that could help their case. Trump’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, said Smith has no personal knowledge of Trump’s Jan. 6 speech or Trump’s state of mind when he gave it. All of Smith’s knowledge about the case is secondhand, Brito argued.

Fire destroys Miss. senior living center, killing two BY DAVE COLLINS and LAURA TURBAY Associated Press

Two people were killed and dozens were rescued when a fire tore through a Mississippi senior living center that was home to more than 100 residents, authorities said Thursday. Firefighters were called to the blaze in Clinton, about 10 miles northwest of Jackson, at about 5 p.m. Wednesday, and multiple wings of the center were on fire, Clinton Mayor Will Purdie said at a news conference. “It’s with a heavy heart that I share with you that two residents lost their lives in that fire,” Purdie said. Clinton’s fire chief, Levius Buckley, said staff at the Brookdale Clinton center got about 85 residents out of the facility safely and firefighters helped get another 10 to 15 out. He said at least four people were taken to hospitals. All surviving residents were either with relatives or at other facilities on Thursday, Purdie said. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Buckley said the center’s sprinkler system was working at the time. An 82-year-old man and an 82-year-old woman were confirmed dead after the fire at the senior living facility, according to Hinds County Coroner Jeramiah Howard.

The mayor credited firefighters and Brookdale Clinton staff with saving lives. Authorities searched the site through the night to account for everyone. “Last night, I was once again reminded of the strength of this community through its overwhelming response,” Purdie said. Portions of the center were destroyed by the blaze. Although several wings remain standing, they won’t be habitable for some time, Buckley said. It took about three hours to get the fire under control, and firefighters remained there into the early morning hours. Residents who were led to safety were bused to a church, where a crowd of people who appeared to be residents’ family members or loved ones waited outside Wednesday. WLBT-TV showed images of a handful of older people sitting across the street and watching as bright orange flames and black smoke stretched into the sky. One of them was in a wheelchair and the others had walkers or other mobility aids. One also had a small dog. The roof of the building was partially collapsed, as firefighters sprayed the building. A spokesperson for Brookdale Senior Living said Thursday that company staff are heartbroken over the deaths of the two residents.

Ariz. has rare tornado outbreak BY JESSICA HILL and WUFEI YU Associated Press

PHOENIX — Yet more severe weather struck Thursday as the Four Corners region surveyed blown-away roofs, trees knocked onto homes and power lines downed from overnight tornadoes that injured one person. The injuries weren’t life threatening but rare for an area better known for scalding heat. But this fall has been unusually soggy in the Southwest with El Niño conditions that have sent one tropical system after another in from the Paciﬁc, causing the Grand Canyon and surrounding deserts to rage with ﬂoods. Now, golf-ball-size hail and tornadoes join the mix. National Weather Service meteorologists suspect at least three tornadoes touched down as storms swept across central Arizona late Wednesday. The nasty weather hit during Lenna Landy’s yoga routine in Overgaard, Ari-

zona, a community of about 3,000 people 140 miles northeast of Phoenix. Landy had ignored alerts about a possible tornado, but then the storm struck. “It was like Zeus-was-angry kind of level, of thunder cracks,” Landy said. The power went off, her house shook and Landy couldn’t find her glasses. “If this is my end, I won’t see it coming,” she recalled thinking. “The scariest part was just like, how quickly it came on,” Landy said. The storm peeled off nearby roofs, shattered windows and blew a shed into a home, she said. A spruce tree in her yard was split in half. Still more severe weather, including large hail, struck Thursday with much of Arizona under tornado and flood watches. Similar weather soaked New Mexico, while swaths of Utah and Colorado were under flood watches and warnings. Tornadoes are somewhat but not exceptionally unusual in Arizona.

The University of Arizona has suspended a fraternity’s activities after a female student alleged two men sexually assaulted her at the fraternity’s house in August. The Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter at the southern Arizona school was already on probation, but the university said it has now imposed an activities suspension, stating the fraternity poses a risk to the university community. An investigation into the allegations continues. “It has been determined that your organization presents a substantial risk to members of the university community,” said Associate Dean of Students Whitney Mohr in a letter sent to the fraternity on Wednesday. The local chapter did not respond to calls or emails, but the national fraternity organization said it had ordered members of the

or sexual misconduct. The Fraternity has suspended those involved while the investigation proceeds,” Brian Warren, chief executive ofﬁcer of Sigma Phi Epsilon, said in a statement Tuesday. It didn’t elaborate on the identities of those involved or their connection to the fraternity. The female student told investigators that she consensually kissed a man and was drinking on the night of Aug. 26, but then woke up to two men sexually assaulting her in the fraternity house, according to search warrant records dated Sept. 9 and published Monday night by KOLDTV in Tucson. She told police she remembers feeling one man’s breath on her face and had trouble swallowing the next morning due to possible strangulation, according to the records. The next day, she reported the incident to police and underwent a forensic exam at a hospital.

Mixed messages Russian missiles pound Kyiv Moscow says over on limits to 800 Ukrainian Starshield access drones downed Ukraine has not received official explanation BY FARNOUSH AMIRI and HANNA ARHIROVA

Associated Press

Recent efforts to throttle Ukraine’s access to satellite systems have created a blame game of sorts among Trump administration officials and their allies, who have offered mixed messages about what led to the sudden restrictions on Kyiv’s ability to intercept Russian strikes. The limitations placed on Starshield — SpaceX’s military-grade version of the Starlink satellite internet service and the backbone of Ukraine’s drone operations and communication — last week alarmed the country’s military and government officials, with commanders reporting lost drones and disrupted missions. After days of handwringing, President Donald Trump asserted Thursday that the service is running again at full speed. However, a senior European official familiar with the situation on the ground in Ukraine said Thursday that nothing has changed in the operation of Starshield, with its speed cap still set at about 100 mph. Ukraine has not received a clear official explanation of who ordered the restrictions or why, according to the official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal announced a new inquiry into how the technologies were slowed down for Ukraine’s defense systems. Questions have percolated since last week about who ordered the interruptions to the Elon Musk-made satellite internet system that Ukraine has relied on for years to counter Moscow’s attacks. Trump has maintained that he didn’t make the call. Vice President JD Vance has hinted at White House coordination with Musk, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have denied any administration involvement. Here are the players in their own words:

Trump Over the last week, Trump has repeatedly told reporters that he didn’t order restrictions on a satellite communications system used by Ukraine’s military, causing its drones to lose speed. The president also earlier doubted the disruption came from Musk, formerly a close adviser and frequent companion. “Well, I don’t know if it was anybody, but it wasn’t me, and I don’t think it was Elon,” Trump said Friday. “And

from what I understand, it’s the same as it’s always been.” On Thursday, Trump appeared to confirm that the service had been down and claimed that it was once again working at optimal speeds. The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk had agreed to lift restrictions, and Trump demurred when asked if he had requested to lift the cap. “You know, whether I called or whether somebody else called, doesn’t make any difference,” Trump told reporters. “I guess the bottom line, he put it back.”

Rubio and Hegseth Rubio has insisted that the Trump administration and the U.S. government more broadly had nothing to do with interruptions to Ukraine’s access to crucial satellite data. Speaking to reporters in India on Wednesday, Rubio said for the third time in four days that any throttling of network access to Ukraine was not directed or ordered by Trump or anyone else in his administration. “The president has nothing to do with the decisions that are made by Starlink and Starshield and by Mr. Musk. That’s a private company. The president doesn’t run that company and can’t direct that company to do anything,” Rubio said. Hegseth has echoed Rubio’s comments, denying on Tuesday any American role in slowing down the satellite internet service while also pushing the responsibility to Musk’s company. “We haven’t pulled anything back,” Hegseth told reporters, before adding that “there are terms of service that ultimately need to be complied to.” He offered no elaboration on what terms of service Ukraine needed to comply with.

Musk Musk, leader of the company behind Starlink and Starshield, last week put the onus on the Trump administration. “Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS,” he wrote Oct. 14 on X. “Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company,” Musk added.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy Shortly after the systems failed to work, Zelenskyy said that there were no similar restrictions in European Union countries and that they apply only to Ukraine. “In other words, this is a planned operation,” he said.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia bombarded Kyiv with ballistic missiles in an hourslong nighttime barrage, while the Russian military said Thursday that its air defenses intercepted over 800 drones ﬁred by Ukraine at Moscow and other cities. At least four people were killed in Ukraine and dozens of others were wounded, officials said, in the attacks that began only hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed “in principle” Wednesday to resume threeway negotiations between Russia, Ukraine and the United States. “Russia has not changed the way it wages this war, and it is taking no steps that would signal a genuine desire to end it,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after the barrage. Putin’s consent came in talks in St. Petersburg with U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, who spoke of a “new momentum” toward peace after meeting Tuesday with Zelenskyy in Norway. The talks are supposed to start sometime after Nov. 10. The U.S. has proposed the United Arab Emirates as a possible location for the new talks, said Zelenskyy, who has said only a meeting of leaders can end the deadlock.

170 strikes in about a week Russia’s aerial attacks hit 12 regions of Ukraine overnight, killing at least four people and wounding scores of others, including ﬁve children, Zelenskyy said on social media Thursday. Two women, ages 50 and 60, were killed and dozens of other people were wounded in a Russian strike on a market in Lozova, in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region, said Oleh Syniehubov, head of the regional military administration. Another person was killed in other strikes on Kharkiv, the State Emergency Service said. The Ukrainian capital endured a noisy night as 21 ballistic missiles came in three waves, Zelenskyy said, smashing apartment buildings, energy facilities, a railway station and the Kyiv subway system, shopping malls and businesses. One person was killed in Kyiv. The Russian attack on Kyiv included three ballistic missiles carrying cluster munitions — bombs that open in the air and release scores of smaller bomblets, Zelenskyy said. Ukrainians are bracing for the bitterly cold months ahead as the recent escalation in Russian attacks targets the power grid to deny civilians heat, light and running water. Ukraine says Russia is stockpiling ballistic missiles for an annual campaign Ukrainians describe as “weaponizing winter.”

A woman looks at her apartment Thursday after a Russian missile attack in Kyiv, Ukraine. Since Oct. 11, Russia has launched 170 strikes on Ukraine’s critical energy facilities, Zelenskyy said.

Putin mulls attending G20 The Ukrainian leader has pleaded with Washington to supply more Patriot airdefense ammunition to stop the missiles, and to heap more sanctions on Russia to pressure Moscow to pursue peace. Instead, Trump has agreed with Putin to import diesel from Russia and waived heavy sanctions on Moscow, while U.S. ofﬁcials say Patriot ammunition is in short supply. “Russia is clearly taking advantage of the slowdown in air defense supplies from our partners,” Zelenskyy said. “It is equally clear that when some partners ease the pressure on Russia, it only reinforces Putin’s belief that his goals are within reach.” Western analysts say Putin wants to cut out Europe and Kyiv and negotiate Ukraine’s future directly with Washington. The Trump administration has also disparaged Europe. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Thurs-

day that Putin had received an invitation to attend the G20 summit in Miami in December but hasn’t yet decided whether to go.

Trump envoy chided Witkoff, the Trump envoy who met Wednesday with Putin in St. Petersburg, was harshly criticized in Ukraine and the U.S. for praising the Russian leader as a “humanitarian” after he released a retired American teacher who was imprisoned on charges of ﬁghting as a mercenary in Ukraine. Assassination attempts against Putin’s foes — routinely denied by the Kremlin — have been common. Aerial strikes have killed thousands of civilians and hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides. The latest “brutal” Russian attacks demonstrate “what Russian ‘humanism’ truly sounds like,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on social media. “Appeasement, servility, and ﬂattery will not stop this war. Only strength will.”

said that air defenses overnight downed 808 Ukrainian drones, with two people reported wounded. Moscow’s Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that 630 of the drones were fired toward the Russian capital between late Wednesday and early Thursday. Moscow airports temporarily restricted air trafﬁc overnight. The Russian military hit facilities involved in making and storing drones and cruise missiles, as well as striking transport infrastructure in Kyiv, the Defense Ministry said. In other developments, the bodies of 252 people, said by Russia to be Ukrainian soldiers, were returned to Ukraine in an exchange, Ukraine’s agency for prisoners of war said Thursday. Russia received 25 bodies of Russian soldiers, a member of a parliamentary group overseeing the exchanges told the RBC news outlet.

STARS

Continued from page 1A colades, practically since opening. It made a big step this year with a new location to rise to the next level. Michelin took note. Among the oldest and most prestigious of dining awards, the Michelin Guide announced the accolades during a live event at Nashville’s Pinnacle music hall, where many chefs, restaurateurs and staff gathered. This is the second year for Michelin’s regional guide for the American South, which is updated annually. In the Michelin system, restaurants can gain or lose recognition from year to year, building suspense for the annual reveal. There are now 38 New Orleans restaurants across a broad range of styles that are included in the Michelin Guide, up from 32 last year. Local restaurants that retained previous star rankings are SaintGermain and Zasu, each at one star, and Emeril’s Restaurant, at two stars — the only two-star rated restaurant in the American South guide. Dakar NOLA was one of just three new restaurants in the region to join the guide at the onestar level. The others are Uberto Restaurant in Gay, Georgia, and So. Fox in Atlanta.

Serigne Mbaye is chef and co-owner of Dakar NOLA.

Six New Orleans restaurants were added to the recommended list, joining 17 that made the list in 2025 (one from last year’s list, 34 Restaurant & Bar, subsequently closed). The new additions are: CASIMIRO, the casual Mexican breakfast and lunch cafe in the Bywater CRUSTACEAN CLUB, the seafood tasting menu in the French Quarter EVVIVA, the Italian restaurant in Faubourg Marigny FELICIANA, the French restaurant in Covington JEWEL OF THE SOUTH, the upscale tavern in the French Quarter SAINT CLAIRE, the French/Louisiana restaurant in Algiers. In addition, Maringouin in Ocean Recommended restaurants Springs, Mississippi, was added to One category is “recommended” the recommended list. Another level is Bib Gourmand, restaurants, which are endorsed by Michelin but not at the star lev- an award for what Michelin calls el or with the value proposition of “simpler style of cooking” at the “best value for money restaua Bib Gourmand winner.

REVENUE

Continued from page 1A after the presentation on Thursday. While Harris and three other council members at the meeting — Council President JP Morrell, Vice President Matt Willard and District A council member Aimee McCarron — were generally receptive to Moreno’s priorities, they didn’t indicate how they might vote on the millage proposal on Nov. 5. A “roll forward” is when the council increases property tax millages to maximum legal rates set by voters. It requires approval by ﬁve of seven council members. In addition to deciding on the roll forward, the council would ultimately have ﬁnal say over how the additional revenue is spent in the 2027 budget. While the Moreno administration is focused on millages that impact the city’s general fund, the council also has the option of increasing other millages for the New Orleans Public Library, City Park, Audubon Commission and early childhood education. If those millages roll forward along with the general fund millages, the total new revenue would be $42 million. As it stands, Moreno’s budget proposal is balanced on $77 million in cuts that Harris and other council members have criticized. A roll forward, along with roughly $10 million from increased permit fees and other revenue, might restore a little less than half that amount. Harris called $4 million in proposed Sanitation Department cuts “unserious” in an Oct. 19 budget hearing, since that would have meant laying off more than 30 workers who help with Mardi Gras parade cleanup and emptying public garbage cans. Harris has also said the city cannot cut the low-bar-

rier homeless shelter, which is in her district and costs $5 million annually. Moreno’s priority list restores the sanitation cuts and homeless shelter. The priority list also includes $2.4 million for legal representation for renters facing eviction, a program that Moreno helped spearhead as a council member in 2022. The Right to Counsel program, which advocates say has led to a sevenfold increase in the number of renters receiving legal representation, typically costs a little more than $2 million. The city only covered about half that amount this year while private donations made up the rest, according to Southeast Louisiana Legal Services. Moreno’s priorities for new revenue also include $5.6 million for New Orleans Police Department civilian staff who respond to non-emergency trafﬁc incidents, which frees up commissioned ofﬁcers for other work. “That’s critical for a very important metric that everyone cares about, which is police response times,” said Andrew Tuozzolo, special counsel to the mayor. Tuozzolo stressed that budgeting for next year is a day-to-day exercise, with unforeseen demands popping up all the time. For ex-

rants.” One New Orleans restaurant joined the 11 listed in the ﬁrst year: Safta’s Table, the neighborhood Mediterranean restaurant from chef Alon Shaya and his Pomegranate Hospitality company, which opened earlier this year. His other restaurant, Saba, retained its listing on the Bib Gourmand list. Regionally, Elsie’s Plate & Pie in Baton Rouge and St. Francisville Inn & Restaurant in St. Francisville were again on the recommended list. On the Gulf Coast, The Noble South in downtown Mobile is on the Bib Gourmand list again, while in coastal Mississippi White Pillars in Biloxi and the tasting menu restaurant Vestige in Ocean Springs were on the recommended list once more.

How Michelin works Michelin stars and reviews

ample, Orleans Parish Sheriff Michelle Woodfork told the council this week that she will need more than $1 million to staff a new mental health wing at the Orleans Parish jail, which is required under a federal consent decree. “We’re dealing with things like that on a daily basis,” Tuozzolo said after the meeting. Morrell said the city must figure out how to pay for mental health staff at the jail, since a federal judge is strictly enforcing the decree. “We can choose to pay it or be made to pay it,” Morrell said. Moreno’s priorities also include restoring nearly $1 million to the Department of Parks and Parkways, which maintains over 2,000 acres of public parks, neutral grounds and greenspaces. Council members have recently criticized the department for rampant overgrowth on city property, and the department’s director, Mike Karam, was ﬁred in September. Moreno would also use new property tax revenue to restore healthcare services for new mothers, funding for the Fire Department and neighborhood engagement.

were created a century ago by the French tire company of the same name. They were a European institution until relatively recently, when a global expansion began. The first U.S. guide, for New York, appeared in 2005. Since then, its range has been gradually expanding one state or group of cities at a time. The brand now partners with city and state tourism agencies and other groups to help finance its work. It selects areas to expand coverage based on this backing and its own assessment that an area has enough destination-worthy restaurants. That practice has drawn some criticism in the industry, though Michelin has maintained that once it enters a market, its culinary judgments and editorial decisions remain independent. New Orleans & Co., the city’s tourism sales and market agency, and the Louisiana Office of Tourism are two of the local groups from the region that partnered with Michelin on the new guide, providing financial support. The Michelin Guide explains that restaurants are assessed for stars on five criteria: “quality products; the harmony of flavors; the mastery of cooking techniques; the voice and personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; consistency between each visit and throughout the menu.” This Michelin Guide American South covers restaurants in a sixstate area: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Atlanta restaurants, which Michelin has covered since 2023, are also now grouped in this guide.

Continued from page 1A Cathedrals: One Team” project that Benson has spearheaded to help raise funds for the restoration of St. Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter. The group of 20 or so prominent New Orleans and Louisiana natives included, among others: Tom Corley, the president and CEO of Community Coffee; Sandy Breland, of Gray Communications; Loyola University law professor Mitchel Crusto; longtime WWLTV and WVUE-TV reporter Dave McNamara; and bestselling author Walter Isaacson, who was there as an ambassador bridging New Orleans’ cultural history with France. “So far, the trip has been fantastic,” Corley said. “Everything has been great.” In return for their $100,000 donation, donors received a bevy of perks, including the special Mass and private tour of Notre Dame; a private lecture and Q&A session with Philippe Villeneuve, the lead architect of the restoration who has also served as a consultant on the St. Louis Cathedral restoration project; and VIP gameday access to Benson’s private suite and a private gameday breakfast with Benson and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. They also will receive acknowledgment at St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square and custom

DRUG

Continued from page 1A medication that the state relied on to treat chronic conditions among inmates, it wasn’t worth the risk, said Seth Smith, chief of operations for the Department of Public Safety and Corrections. “I’m afraid that we would lose our possibility of getting life-saving drugs that we need for other people,” Smith testified in the case of Jessie Hoffman, who was put to death with nitrogen gas less than two weeks later in March 2025. But this week, state officials told a federal judge that obtaining a lethal injection drug, pentobarbital, for executions was not a problem at all. The revelation came as state officials sought to deny death row inmate Todd Wessinger a fresh avenue to challenge his impending execution date. At a status conference Wednesday before U.S. District Judge John deGravelles, a state lawyer “initially stated that pentobarbital is available to the State as an alternative to nitrogen hypoxia and that there is no dispute on this,” according to the court minutes. But the lawyer, Elizabeth Brown, then retracted that statement, saying she didn’t know if the state possessed the drug or whether it would have to disclose it, and she “suggested that its possession of (or ability to obtain) pentobarbital was beyond the scope of this litigation and immaterial to the issues before the court.” The judge, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, disagreed, according to the court record. After he “encouraged the parties to work together to

Villeneuve’s 45-minute session detailed the highs and lows of the $850 million restoration project, which began after the iconic 863-year-old church along the banks of the Seine River received extensive damage from an overnight ﬁre in 2019. The entire project has been paid for by individual donors, corporations and philan-

resolve many of the factual issues such as the availability of pentobarbital,” more details emerged. “Defense counsel clariﬁed that the State does not have pentobarbital on hand, but, if Wessinger chooses that as an option, pentobarbital is readily available within the time frame necessary for an execution.” Wessinger argues that execution by single-drug lethal injection pentobarbital would pose less risk of cruel and unusual punishment, which is forbidden by the U.S. Constitution, compared with nitrogen gassing. The state’s formal response was to agree to kill Wessinger with only pentobarbital if he chose it. Corrections Secretary Gary Westcott, who is empowered to select the execution method among those authorized in state law, wrote in an afﬁdavit that he was ceding the choice to Wessinger. “The only way Plaintiff will be executed by nitrogen hypoxia is if he voluntarily declines to elect pentobarbital and thus voluntarily agrees to be executed by nitrogen hypoxia,” state lawyers wrote. State officials and attorneys for Wessinger were mum after the closed-door status conference. Attorney General Liz Murrill declined to comment about what’s changed with the state’s ability to access lethal injection drugs, citing the litigation. “Our statement is that if Wessinger’s preferred method is pentobarbital, we will accommodate that request,” she said.

Nitrogen vs. pentobarbital Wessinger filed his lawsuit last month to prevent the state from killing him with nitrogen gas, arguing it’s unconstitutionally cruel. As an alternative, he offered

thropists across 150 countries, requiring zero French taxpayer funds. New Orleans ofﬁcials are trying to do the same for St. Louis Cathedral. “We’re just doing what we can to help,” Crusto said. “Some people put their money into cars. Some travel. This is what we did. You do what you’re supposed to do.” The funds from the weeklong

single-drug pentobarbital. His lawsuit was filed weeks before the botched Sept. 30 execution of Christa Pike by the same method in Tennessee. Pike survived two doses of the drug and spent 10 days in the hospital before being discharged back to prison. A report this week in the local newspaper there, The Tennessean, found that the state has spent nearly $1.2 million on lethal execution drugs since the start of 2023. Less is known about Louisiana’s procurement of either nitrogen gas or lethal drugs. Other than a required review by the state inspector general for potential ﬁnancial conﬂicts with lawmakers, the same law that expanded Louisiana’s execution methods in 2024 — adding nitrogen gas and relegalizing electrocution — cloaked their procurement in secrecy. Wessinger was sentenced to death for killing two employees during a 1995 robbery at a Baton Rouge restaurant. He has fought his death sentence for decades. A federal appeals court recently denied him. Among the 55 prisoners on Louisiana’s death row, Wessinger is considered closest to an execution date. Earlier this month, Baton Rouge District Attorney Hillar Moore said he plans to apply for a death warrant. Once signed by a judge, the order would set the date, time and location for the state to execute Wessinger. The death warrant would be submitted to Baton Rouge District Judge Gail Horne Ray’s courtroom, but Murrill’s office has a pending motion to recuse the judge from the case. Ray and other judges have an active civil lawsuit against the state in which

event will go directly toward the restoration and preservation of St. Louis Cathedral, the estimated $45 million project launched by the Archdiocese of New Orleans in April. The multiyear renovation is projected to conclude by 2029, completing the most comprehensive preservation of the Jackson Square icon in over half a century. “I’ve been working on this proj-

Murrill’s office is a defendant. Murrill has argued that the plaintiff judges in that case should not be allowed to rule on any cases — including Wessinger’s — that involve the attorney general. Corrections officials declined to comment this week when asked about how the state plans to acquire lethal injection drugs.

Drug company ultimatums In his testimony in federal court last year, Smith said the agency had received “multiple correspondence” from various drug companies prohibiting the use of their products for lethal injections. “They all told us the same thing,” Smith testified. “If we get caught using one of

ect for a long time,” Benson said. “I got the cathedral project going with this one also. New Orleans and France is sort of the same place. I mean, we’re French, they’re French. It’s perfect. And I just felt like this (game) was the right place for us to pay for it. The restoration project’s going well. We always need more money, but that’s going to come eventually.” This is Landry’s second trip to Paris since he became governor in 2024. He attended the International Paris Air Show last year as part of a Louisiana Economic Development delegation to meet with European aerospace leaders and recruit industrial investment for the state. “What I have found interesting is when I’ve come to Paris and come to France, the French people seem to really embrace people from Louisiana, almost like a relative, like a long-lost relative,” Landry said. “It’s a relationship that’s inseparable, right? I mean, without the French, Louisiana wouldn’t be in existence.” Landry said he has extra afﬁnity for France because he grew up in a French-speaking home in St. Martinville. “I can understand (French) better than I can speak it,” he said. “However, I will tell you that the longer I’m here, the more it comes back. “They asked me how to say ‘Who Dat?’ and it took me a minute,” he added. “It’s ‘C’est qui ca?’”

their drugs, they are no longer going to supply drugs we need to treat people.” He added that those ultimatums from drug companies did “not have an expiration date.” Other states have obtained pentobarbital by routing around drug manufacturers and using compounding pharmacies that use raw ingredients to make drugs. Compounded pharmaceuticals do not require approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Oklahoma was the first state to authorize executions by nitrogen gas as states struggled to acquire lethal injection drugs. Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas followed, though only Alabama and Louisiana have used the gas in execu-

tions so far. Alabama was the first to try nitrogen gas, using it for seven executions before the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in June barred its use to kill double murderer Jeffery Lee. Alabama turned last month to lethal injection instead to execute Lee. Louisiana modeled its nitrogen gas execution protocol after Alabama’s. Wessinger’s federal case has its next court date scheduled for Nov. 2.

Summer heat killed 50,000 in Europe lll

Two-thirds of deaths blamed on climate change

count of 50,000 heat deaths because those deaths are underreported and often not listed in death certiﬁcates, despite being a major factor, Konstantinoudis said. Several outside experts agreed with him, calling the methods state-of-the-art. The researchers ran a complex mathematical equation that has been used in several previously peer-reviewed studies, Barnes said, which factors in specific age and temperatures for each of the 854 cities based on a localized optimal temperature that coincides with the fewest deaths. When it’s warmer or colder, the equation calculates excess deaths above lowest-death conditions. Researchers then checked their calculations against real-time estimates from government agencies. Mostly — but not always — they matched fairly well, Konstantinoudis said.

BY SETH BORENSTEIN AP science writer

WASHINGTON — Blistering record heat in Europe this summer helped kill more than 50,000 people, with nearly two-thirds of that death toll blamed on humancaused climate change, a new study found. Researchers modeled heat-related deaths for different age groups in 854 European cities during repeated heat waves in June, July and August and found that 50,391 people died from warmer temperatures, and of those, 32,619 died because of the extra heat caused by the burning of coal, oil and gas, according to a study in an upcoming issue of Nature Health. That’s 71% higher than the previous deadliest summer, which was 29,480 in 2022, according to the same researchers, who produced a study earlier this month tracking yearly summer heat-related deaths in those European cities. And this summer’s death ﬁgures are underestimates because they don’t count a deadly heat wave in May and they only look at deaths in those 854 cities, which are about 40% of Europe’s population, study authors said. About one-third of the deaths were from June 17 to July 1, a particularly intense heat wave when temperatures were 9.5 degrees Fahrenheit above normal, said study co-author Garyfallos Konstantinoudis, a biostatistician at Imperial College London. “Much of Western and

People cool off at a public water fountain in Paris on June 26. Northern Europe, our infrastructure is just not designed to cope with the sort of temperatures that we are seeing now because of the effects of human-caused warming,” said lead author Clair Barnes, a climate scientist at Imperial College London. She said some European cities this summer had temperatures 21.6 F warmer than normal. Of those 50,000, more than 32,000 died from the added heat of human-caused climate change, the study also found. Italy, France, Spain and Germany had the highest death tolls, the study said.

An extra dose of heat This would’ve already

been an abnormal natural hot spell on top of a huge amount of climate change, Barnes said. She said Europe is the fastest-warming continent — although the Arctic, which is not a continent, is warming even faster — and is 4.5 F hotter than pre-industrial times. “Just the underlying warming from human activity, from mostly the burning of fossil fuels, it’s increasing all of our temperatures by what sounds like quite a small amount,” Barnes said. “For many people, it’s certainly the case that that extra 2½ degrees (Celsius) of warming is what’s going to tip those temperatures from uncomfortable to dangerous

and potentially deadly.” More than half of the people who died in Europe’s heat were age 85 or older, but the stifling temperatures also killed more than 800 people between the ages of 20 and 44, Konstantinoudis said.

How numbers calculated The team used an established and accepted scientific method to figure out how many of the 50,000 heat deaths were from natural high summer heat and how many were due to what heattrapping gases have done to the climate. They ran computer simulations of a world without climate change and compared it to the deaths that happened this summer.

The difference is what was caused by global warming. The percentage of heat deaths attributable to global warming has grown from about 45% in the early 2000s to 65% now, Barnes said. “Summers are getting hotter, and the analytical tools for attributing deaths to heat are getting more accurate,” said Dr. Howard Frumkin, former director of the National Center for Environmental Health in the U.S., who wasn’t part of the study. “Together, these two trends yield increasingly high and increasingly accurate counts of heat-related deaths.” The scientific team also had to use statistical modeling to come up with the base

“We need to prepare for the heat we cannot now avoid, with urgent investments in heat early-warning systems, equitable access to low-carbon cooling, and neighborhood buddy systems that check on and support people most at risk — while rapidly reducing the fossil fuel use driving the crisis,” said Canadian emergency room physician Dr. Courtney Howard, president-elect of the Canadian Medical Association, who wasn’t part of the research. Adapting is only part of the answer, said Dr. Jonathan Patz of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who wasn’t part of the research but also praised it. “We can’t just be mopping up the mess on the floor without thinking about turning the faucet off,” said Patz.

Democratic Va. state senator charged Lucas accused of leading a marijuana criminal conspiracy

BY SARAH RANKIN and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va. — Virginia state Sen. L. Louise Lucas, one of the state’s most powerful Democrats, was charged Thursday with leading what authorities alleged was a wide-ranging criminal enterprise that acquired and distributed large quantities of marijuana and laundered the proceeds. Lucas, who has been in elected office for decades, used her political power to insulate the operation from scrutiny, according to an indictment charging her and six other defendants, including several of her relatives. She “put her own ﬁnancial interests before the people she was elected to serve,” said U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, who spoke at a news conference with FBI Director Kash Patel. Lucas surrendered, the Justice Department said. She made a brief appearance in federal court in Norfolk on Thursday afternoon,

Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas of Portsmouth, center, is led to a waiting vehicle as she leaves federal court Thursday in Norfolk, Va. where she was released on her own recognizance, according to court records. She left the court without addressing journalists who shouted questions her way and went straight into a waiting vehicle. The charges, including drug trafficking and money laundering, came after the FBI searched Lucas’ hometown ofﬁce and a can-

nabis shop in which she has a stake in May. At the time of the search, Lucas — who has been a vocal critic of Republican President Donald Trump’s administration — characterized it as an attempt to intimidate her. A statement attributed to Lucas posted on her social media account did not directly address the substance of the charges but said Thurs-

day’s actions amounted to the federal government wielding its “full weight” against a great-grandmother. “I will not be intimidated. I will not be bullied. And I will not back down,” Lucas said in the statement. Her attorney at the hearing declined comment outside. The brash 82-year-old lawmaker has spent decades ascending the ranks of Vir-

ginia politics and has served since 1992 in the state Senate, where she’s the president pro tempore, overseeing the chamber in the lieutenant governor’s absence. More significantly, she leads the powerful Senate finance committee, through which all legislation with any budget impact must flow. She’s used the position to kill legislation she opposes. Blanche rejected any suggestion politics played a role in Lucas’ case, noting the investigation began well before the second Trump administration started in January 2025. “We don’t do political paybacks,” Blanche told reporters. A person familiar with the May search told The Associated Press at the time that the probe was opened during Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a continuing criminal investigation. Patel said in a statement that “Lucas and a close-knit group of family members and associates orchestrated a multi-year scheme to enrich their own criminal marijuana enterprise, ‘the Lucas Enterprise’ — using Lucas’ position as Chairwoman of the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee to

insulate the enterprise from criminal scrutiny and influencing legislation to financially benefit themselves.” The indictment describes Lucas as the “leader of the enterprise” who “approved and directed criminal activities,” including arranging for the acquisition and distribution of marijuana and supervising the laundering of the proceeds. The indictment alleges Lucas worked this year with another of the defendants to use her political position to obtain a recreational marijuana license for him, with the understanding that the proceeds from sales under the license would be shared with her to support the “enterprise.” Since 2021, marijuana has been legal to possess in Virginia, and many shops across the state have sold cannabis-derived products. But full recreational sales are not yet underway; legislation enacted earlier this year will allow them beginning in July 2027. In addition to drug and money laundering charges, Lucas faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud and maintaining a drug-involved premises. An arraignment is scheduled for next month.

A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a Guatemalan man extradited to the U.S. over his role in a 2022 human smuggling attempt that ended in the deaths of 53 migrants who had been transported in a sweltering tractor-trailer in Texas. U.S. and Guatemalan prosecutors called Rigoberto Ramon Miranda Orozco’s sentencing another step toward justice in one of the deadliest smuggling attempts along the U.S.-Mexico border. Miranda Orozco, 50, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after admitting to arranging travel and accommodations for two people who died and another who was seriously injured. Nearly 20 people in the U.S. and Guatemala have been convicted since the discovery of the abandoned trailer full of bodies horrified communities accustomed to seeing their young people leave, trying to ﬂee poverty or violence in Central America and Mexico. “It was clear that they suffered tremendously in their last few hours on this earth,” U.S. Attorney Justin Simmons told reporters at a news conference following the sentencing. The trailer’s air conditioning malfunctioned and would not blow cool air to the people trapped inside

gers had shed to cool off and claw marks on the trailer’s walls. “They were literally trying to claw their way out,” he said. Twenty-one of those who died were from Guatemala, Simmons said. Miranda Orozco’s attorney, Alfonso Cabanas Jr., called the sentence “very tough.” Last year, Felipe OrdunaTorres, described by prosecutors as the leader of the smuggling operations inside

The family of a 1-yearold boy who was fatally shot when a police officer fired into a moving vehicle in Mississippi said Thursday they do not believe the shooting was justified after reviewing videos from officers’ body-worn cameras at the scene. Kohen Wiley’s close relatives watched the footage shot during the June 14 encounter in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, about 40 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. The video included footage from the camera worn by the Senatobia police officer who shot and killed Kohen. Kohen would have celebrated his second birthday in early November, civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Kohen’s family, said during a news conference Thursday. Earlier this week, a state investigation cleared Sgt. Hunter Foster of criminal wrongdoing in the shooting that happened as he and other officers chased two women accused of shoplifting. The Mississippi Attorney General’s Office said its review found the fatal shooting was a justified use of force. “The word ‘justified’ has haunted me,” Kohen’s maternal grandmother, Veroni-

during the sweltering, threehour ride in June 2022 from the border city of Laredo to San Antonio, authorities said. Prosecutors have said migrants paid up to $15,000 each to be taken across the U.S. border. When the abandoned trailer was opened on a remote San Antonio back road, 48 migrants were dead. Another 16 were taken to hospitals, where ﬁve more died. Simmons said investigators found clothing passen-

ca Roberson, said during the news conference. “There’s no justification for that.” Roberson said she found out from reading the news that the state had cleared the officer, and she also saw parts of the video that had been leaked online Wednesday. She called the lack of notice from the attorney general's office and the leak of the footage a “slap in the face” to her family. Crump said the officers' response — running at the vehicle with guns drawn to apprehend alleged shoplifters — was excessive and reckless. Kohen’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, previously denied that she and her friend stole diapers from the store and they have not been charged, according to state and county court records. “Diapers are something a mother needs for a child. Diapers should never cost a baby their life,” Crump said. “This decision sends a message that a Black baby boy, his life, is not as valuable as the white diapers that he is wrapped in.” Martin Zummach, an attorney representing Foster, has said the footage vindicates his client because he was in danger from the moving vehicle and had “no choice” but to fire his gun. “She came right at Hunter Foster and the other officer and he had to shoot his weapon,” Zummach said.

Poll: Voters prioritize affordability, Iran BY LINLEY SANDERS and MIKE CATALINI

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Regardless of the outcome of the Nov. 3 election, a new AP-NORC poll shows voters from both major political parties want the next Congress to focus on making life more affordable and ending the war in Iran, while fewer are looking for an emphasis on President Donald Trump — whether it’s investigating him or supporting his agenda. The results suggest that voters are ready for Congress to tackle core issues, despite Trump’s centrality in the midterm campaign. About 8 in 10 registered voters, including a large majority of Republicans and Democrats, say lowering the cost of living should be one of the highest priorities for the session coming up, the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research ﬁnds. Justin Campbell, a 31-year-old Democrat from Brookhaven, Mississippi, said he wants the govern-

ment to focus on helping people like him rather than wealthy people. “I’m not a millionaire and probably won’t ever be,” he said. “I prefer policy that helps me instead of someone I’ll never be.” Most voters also want Congress to prioritize ending the war with Iran, with roughly 7 in 10 saying this should be a top focus. Substantially fewer voters, about 4 in 10, want Congress to make investigating the Trump administration a high priority. But the poll also indicates that there are deep divisions within the parties on what to focus on, with moderate Democrats and Republicans differing sharply from voters on the left and right wings of their parties.

Prefer focus on cost of living Lowering the cost of living and ending the Iran war overshadow a wide range of other issues as voters consider priorities for the next Congress. While most registered voters say reducing costs and ending the war should be among the highest priori-

ties for Congress, only about half say reducing the budget deficit and finding common ground between the two parties should be high priorities. About 4 in 10 want investigating the administration and passing new laws regulating artificial intelligence to be high priorities. Fewer, about 3 in 10, prioritize ending military aid to Israel, and only about 2 in 10 want a focus on supporting Trump’s agenda. Though most registered Democrats want Congress to investigate the administration, that falls behind the larger priorities of lowering costs and ending the conflict with Iran. About 6 in 10 registered voters who identify as Democrats call investigations into the administration “one of the highest priorities.” Arthur Brown, a 71-year-old Democrat in Magee, Mississippi, wants to see the next Congress work on making the economy stronger and prices lower. He feels less urgently about holding Trump accountable, mostly because there’ll be only two years left in Trump’s term. He thinks it’s more important to try to turn the economy around.

For Republican voters, bolstering Trump’s goals also falls behind lowering the cost of living, ending the war in Iran and reducing the budget deﬁcit. In a strikingly tepid show of support for the president, only about 4 in 10 Republican voters say the next Congress should make supporting the administration’s agenda one of its highest priorities.

publicans and how strongly to investigate the administration. About three-quarters of Democratic voters who identify as supporters of democratic socialism say one of the top priorities should be investigating the administration, compared with slightly less than half of Democrats who say they’re not democratic socialists.

A 71-year-old man was killed early Thursday morning after a self-driving Tesla struck him as he was crossing Interstate 80 in Vallejo, the California Highway Patrol said. Ofﬁcers responded to a report of a crash on the westbound freeway around 2:35 a.m. Thursday, CHP said. When emergency responders arrived, they found the

He began crossing freeway lanes toward the center divide, stepping directly into the Tesla’s path. The video captures the brakes being applied and the car veering left to attempt to swerve around the pedestrian, CHP said. “Despite these evasive actions, the right front portion of the Tesla struck the individual,” CHP said.

as a child. Arthur lost custody of her children after their stepfather, Arthur’s husband, was indicted on a charge of rape involving Acton. Acton’s campaign on Tuesday posted a video of her brother, who supported her backstory about living in a tent and being abused. Republican Vice President JD Vance, an Ohio native son, expressed disgust during an Ohio campaign swing Wednesday with Republicans “whining” about the ad as low and in poor taste. But Republican U.S. Sen. Jon Husted, DeWine’s former lieutenant governor — running in a tight retention race against Democrat Sherrod

it was never used in a multimillion-dollar ad campaign. That critique from the summer cited an investigative report into Geetha Ramaswamy’s role at a pharmaceutical company run by her Ramaswamy son, who Acton and Democrats described as “hiring his own mother to manipulate clinical trial data.” The Ramaswamy campaign called those claims “slanderous” and said he’s being held to a different standard than Acton and other Democrats who have attacked Republicans’ families.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — President Donald Trump said Thursday that Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican nominee for Ohio governor, should keep running a controversial ad featuring the estranged mother of Democratic opponent Amy Acton, posting on social media that it was “hitting pay dirt.” Trump also denounced Ohio Repub- Acton lican Gov. Mike DeWine, who criticized the ad as “deeply, deeply troubling” earlier in the day. Acton previously served in DeWine’s administration as a health ofﬁcial. Her mother lost custody of Acton and her brother after her husband — the children’s stepfather — was indicted for raping Acton. “He strongly suggested that Vivek should, ‘take down the Ad,’” Trump wrote. “He probably wants a Dum-

The biotech entrepreneur and former presidential candidate plans to spend $4 million to broadcast it online and on television.

BY JOHN SIMERMAN Staff writer

The Louisiana Supreme Court has turned away competing requests by lawyers for Attorney General Liz Murrill and the special prosecutor who led the grand jury that indicted her in their tug-of-war over records amid a Louisiana State Police investigation into how the charges against Murrill unfolded. The court on Wednesday denied a request by the special prosecu-

tor, former Orleans Parish Criminal Court Judge Laurie White, to provide her with a lawyer and to stop Murrill’s lawyers from suing her for records while the criminal probe plays out. The court wrote that White lacked standing, without explanation. Chief Justice John Weimer, in a concurrence, wrote that northshore District Attorney Collin Sims, who the court appointed to oversee the State Police probe, could serve as custodian of those records instead.

civil lawsuits against White and District Attorney Jason Williams. The high court also turned away a request by Murrill’s attorneys, Blake Arcuri and Laura Cannizzaro Rodrigue, to appoint an outside judge to oversee the Murrill public records cases, after three civil court judges recused. They also asked the court to name an “independent custodian of records.” They argued that White has refused to properly answer a pair of

The court found both requests premature. The decisions suggest the court sees another path to resolving issues White has raised about her ability to comply with public records requests while maintaining grand jury secrecy, and complaints from Murrill’s lawyers that White shouldn’t be the one to decide which records are public. Gov. Jeff Landry and Murrill have said they suspect nefarious political

Murrill said in the letters that the New Orleans officials risked their elected posts by flouting the Legislature to back an election and appointment of an interim head to a newly unified Court Clerk’s Office in the city.

Two people were hospitalized Tuesday after a dump truck swerved to avoid a crash on the Interstate 10 overpass near St. Bernard Avenue, smashed through the concrete railing and struck a parked car below. The truck landed on Claiborne Avenue, just inches from the curb alongside the Circle Food Market at 2:30 p.m. New Orleans police Capt. Kendrick Allen said the parked vehicle was not occupied at the time. The people injured were the truck’s driver and passenger, and police said the two were in the hospital Thursday evening and listed as stable. Belden “Noonie Man” Batiste said he was walking under the Claiborne overpass when all of

Timothy Collins, the athletic director for Jefferson Parish’s parks and recreation department, was arrested Wednesday night after Kenner police allegedly found sexually explicit images of juveniles on his cellphone. Collins, 67, of River Ridge, was booked with two counts of possession of child sex abuse materials, Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley said Thursday. Collins, who had led the athletic department since 2021, was terminated after his arrest, according to Jefferson Parish spokesperson Rachel Strassel. He had been a parish employee for almost 21 years in two stints. His arrest comes after police investigated a complaint made by the mother of a 14-year-old boy. “A mother brought her son into our lobby to make a complaint about inappropriate texting between Collins and her son,” Conley said. The teen does not appear to have any ties to the Jefferson Parish recreation department, Conley said. Collins met the victim through other juveniles

Wisner heirs ask La. Supreme Court to reconsider ruling BY WILLIE SWETT

Staff writer

The heirs of the late philanthropist Edward Wisner asked the Louisiana Supreme Court on Thursday to reconsider its ruling earlier this month that effectively hands over millions of dollars in annual proceeds from lucrative a oilﬁeld to the city of New Orleans. In a court ﬁling late Tuesday afternoon, the Wisner heirs asked the court to reconsider its 5-2 ruling to not review a lower court’s rul-

Continued from page 1B according to an afﬁdavit supporting Elisha Bell Collier’s arrest on four felony counts. The caller said that someone in the building’s management was helping people get fraudulent short-term rental licenses and tipping them off to city inspections. Detectives with NOPD, the U.S. Secret Service Task Force and the Gretna Police Department did a forensic exam of Collier’s city-owned laptop. Records from the New Orleans Permitting & Land Management System showed that between March 5, 2025, and Jan. 14, 2026, Collier made 408 edits to 27 short-term rental licenses, altering key ﬁelds including permit holders’ names, property addresses and occupancy limits. In many of those instances, she replaced the permit holder’s

appointed the unit’s 27th superintendent under Gov. Jeff Landry in 2024, Hodges, 54, said he wants to “restore trust and accountability through transparency and professionalism.” Born and raised in New Orleans and a 1989 graduate of Brother Martin High School, he earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from LSU in 1993. Before becoming a trooper, he enlisted in the Army National Guard. He and his family moved to St. Tammany Parish nearly 25 years ago, and he said running for sheriff “wasn’t on the radar.” However, when the special election was announced this past summer, Hodges, a Republican, decided to retire from the State Police and throw his hat in the ring. He argued that he’s “battle-tested” given his work “through the most difﬁcult times in Louisiana.” He cited his time as a sergeant in Troop Nola in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and work as superintendent during the terrorist attack on New Orleans on New Year’s morning 2025 as two of the major events that sets him apart from his opponents. “Partnerships don’t build with a contact in your phone; they build with months and years worth of work,” Hodges said. “When you’re trusted through action and performance, then the people already know when something happens, all they have to do is ask and we’re coming.”

ing against the heirs, writing that the “extraordinary circumstances” necessitate reconsidering that decision. The heirs said there was a “broad divergence of opinion among the justices” in their initial review of the writ and that only Justice Michael Guidry offered an opinion on the merits. They also warn that “protracted federal litigation” would follow if the court declines to review lower courts’ rulings, which they argue would deny their right to due process and equal protection.

The Louisiana Supreme Court’s Oct. 6 decision paved the way for the city to potentially receive $3 million per year from oilfield land in Port Fourchon, which comes as the city struggles to fill a $77 million budget deficit. After the Oct. 6 ruling, the Chief Administrative Officer Joe Giarrusso said the city wouldn’t log the additional revenue in the books until the Wisner heirs exhausted their legal options, as the city expected them to ask for a rehearing. The tens of thousands of acres

MURRILL

of oilfield land were first placed in a century-long trust by Edward Wisner in 1914 and were subject to a revenue-sharing agreement between the city and Wisner’s heirs. In recent years, the heirs and the city have been in litigation over a 40% stake in the proceeds that the heirs argue is theirs based on a 1929 agreement. Justice John Guidry pointed to that 1929 agreement in his dissent, arguing it entitled the heirs to to be a beneficiary of the land. If the court does not address the

merits of the case, the lawyers for the heirs wrote it will “launch a new lengthy and expensive phase in which the case will take on a dimension the court may not have considered.” The heirs will “be forced to turn to the federal courts to protect rights that Louisiana’s judicial branch will have refused to honor,” they wrote. The city declined to comment on the ﬁling.

litical repercussions. Murrill said she was only doing her job. White agreed to drop the indictment three weeks later at the urging of the city ofﬁcials whom the grand jury deemed victims. The records lawsuits that Murrill’s attorneys have filed against White and Williams seek emails and other communications among city ofﬁcials and others about the origins of the felony charges. Though they

were dropped, Murrill has said she may sue for malicious prosecution. A state lawyer asked the Louisiana Supreme Court in August to appoint a special prosecutor to oversee a Louisiana State Police investigation into Murrill’s indictment, including possibly seating a grand jury in Orleans Parish. The court named Sims and appointed retired Appeals Court Judge Robert Chaisson to preside over it.

By about 3:45 p.m. the parked car — a silver Nissan Rogue — was removed from the scene and a larger tow truck arrived to haul the dump truck away. Police reopened one of I-10’s eastbound lanes that evening and Claiborne Avenue at Columbus Street remained closed. The interstate’s other eastbound lanes would remain locked off as Louisiana Department of Transportation ofﬁcials check the structural integrity of the interstate, including the damaged railing.

“We will continue following the evidence, identifying any additional victims, and holding those who exploit children accountable,” Conley said. Collins was being held Thursday at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Bail was set at $100,000. Anyone who believes their child may have had inappropriate contact with Collins or with information relevant to the investigation is asked to contact the Kenner Police Department at 504-712-2415.

name with that of a 49-year-old man identiﬁed by the initials C.S. The man had been turned down for an STR license at 810 Bienville St. in the past and did not hold a valid permit. C.S. spoke with Collier more than 30 times in a roughly twomonth period in 2025, according to cellphone records. Orleans Parish Criminal District Court records do not indicate that the man has been arrested. After generating the spurious STR placards, Collier allegedly deleted them. On Monday, NOPD obtained a warrant for Collier’s arrest on counts of malfeasance in ofﬁce, injuring public records, forgery and computer fraud and arrested her that day. The arrest followed her Sept. 17 termination that came after an internal city probe. Magistrate commissioner Joyce Sallah on Tuesday set Collier’s bail at $6,000. If convicted of malfeasance, she faces up to 10 years in prison.

a sudden he heard “this big boom.” When he looked over at Claiborne, he saw a truck had fallen from the interstate. Batiste said he saw a man go through the windshield and he began calling 911. EMS later pulled another man out of the truck, he said. “I’m just worried about the two

people, hoping they’re alive,” Batiste said. About a dozen people gathered outside Circle Foods in the crash’s aftermath as police, ﬁre and emergency medical personnel worked the scene. The truck lay on its side with dirt and construction debris spilled onto the road from its openbox bed, the hood peeled partially off the front of the cab. Pieces of the concrete rail and rebar hung from the side of the interstate above. Allen said the truck also spilled some fuel onto the street.

known as grooming, authorities said. Investigators got a warrant for Collins’ cellphone Wednesday afternoon and seized the device after locating Collins at a JPRD facility in Marrero. Ofﬁcers did a cursory review and discovered sexually explicit images of minors, according to Kenner police. Investigators seized several other devices which are still being reviewed, according to Conley. Additional charges are possible, and police are working to identify any other potential victims. “Given Collins’ position within the Jefferson Parish Recreation

Department and his access to juveniles, investigators are examining the full extent of his interactions with children,” Kenner police said. Jefferson Parish officials said Collins has been prohibited from all parish facilities. “We were notified by law enforcement about the arrest of Jefferson Parish Parks and Recreation Department employee Timothy Collins. We are cooperating with local authorities who are investigating this matter,” parish ofﬁcials said in a statement Thursday. Collins worked for the parish from 1999 to 2012, according to

Strassel. He returned to the parish in 2018 before being promoted to the recreation department’s director in 2021. Collins has also worked for Christian Brothers School in New Orleans and St. Martin’s Episcopal School in Metairie, according to Kenner police. Thus far, detectives have not uncovered any evidence of similar complaints in Collins’ past, said Kenner Police Deputy Chief Mark McCormick. But the investigation is ongoing, he said. Conley commended the vigilance of the victim’s mother for immediately bringing the matter to the attention of authorities.

Video game developer BioWare shuts down

Video game publisher Electronic Arts is shutting down the popular and influential game development studio BioWare after more than three decades. The upcoming “Mass Effect” game, the fifth since 2007, has been canceled. BioWare announced the closure on social media Wednesday following a report by Bloomberg that also said the company is laying off 400 people, including about 50 at BioWare. The Redwood Shores, California-based maker of popular titles like “Battlefield” and “The Sims” closed the $55 billion sale of its business to Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund PIF, investment firm Silver Lake Partners and Affinity Partners, which is run by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, in August. Representatives for EA did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment on the layoffs. “What generations of BioWare built together is something to celebrate and remember,” the studio said via social media. “These games became so much more because you played them, debated your choices, fell in love with characters, and made these worlds your own.” BioWare built its reputation on immersive role-playing adventures, from sword-and-sorcery fantasies like “Baldur’s Gate” and “Dragon Age” to science fiction epics like “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” and “Mass Effect.” But its effort to branch out into multiplayer shooters, 2019’s “Anthem,” steered away from the studio’s strength as a creator of compelling single-player narratives. It failed to find the sort of loyal audience that keeps online hits like “Fortnite” and “Overwatch” humming.

Comcast planning significant jobs cuts

Comcast Corp. is planning a significant number of job cuts as part of an overall restructuring of its cable-TV, broadband and wireless businesses, according to people familiar with the company’s thinking. The reorganization is designed to put Comcast in a stronger position to operate as an independent company after it spins off the NBCUniversal businesses next year, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the plans haven’t been made public. The cuts, which could start to be announced in a matter of weeks, are aimed at creating a more nimble workforce and freeing up cash to invest in more growth opportunities, among other long-term goals. The Philadelphia-based media and telecom conglomerate has been losing cable-TV subscribers for some time as customers cut the cord in favor of streaming options. More recently, Comcast has also been shedding internet customers with rivals such as AT&T Inc., T-Mobile US Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. pushing attractively priced fiber optic or fixed wireless connections.

Las Vegas Strip signs: Tipping not required

Digital marquees on the Las Vegas Strip have a new message: “When watching a performance or taking a photo, tipping is not required.” The signs from Clark County are being put up for “public safety,” said a representative from the county. Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft , directed visitors to look for nearby law enforcement or call 911 if they felt harassed in an X post on Saturday. Street performers and costumed individuals have been a mainstay on the Strip, looking to tourists to kick over extra cash for watching a performance or taking a picture with them. Recently, showgirl impersonators on the Strip became the subject of a viral video after a picture led to a brawl.

Insurance costs continue to climb Survey shows American workers paying more than last year

BY FATIMA HUSSEIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — People who rely on employer-sponsored health insurance paid more for their coverage this year, with employees at small businesses and their employers especially squeezed by the surging costs, according to a new survey by healthcare research nonproﬁt KFF. The 2026 Employer Health Benefits Survey, released Thursday, found that covered workers were paying hundreds of dollars more toward their premiums this year compared with last year. The costs

were particularly pronounced for employees at small businesses made up of 10 to 99 workers who typically shoulder a larger share of their insurance costs than those at bigger companies. Rising healthcare costs have emerged as an important issue for voters in the midterm elections and are part of broader affordability concerns. An AP-NORC poll conducted in October found that about 7 in 10 registered voters call healthcare “one of the most important issues” in this election. Almost 157 million Americans under retirement age rely on employer-sponsored healthcare coverage. According to the KFF study, employers report that workers are paying on average $7,471 annually toward the premiums for employer-sponsored family health ben-

eﬁts this year, which is up roughly 9%, or $621, from last year. “Workers are paying a bigger chunk this year,” said Matthew Rae, associate director of KFF’s Program on the Health Care Marketplace, “which also brings up the issue of affordability.” President Donald Trump has tried to make healthcare affordability part of his midterms pitch, saying that his most-favored nation prescription drug pricing would reduce costs and promising rebates for some Americans. But other steps taken by Trump’s Republican administration have raised costs for some, and the survey indicates that many are seeing their health insurance expenses climb without clear improvements in beneﬁts. The impact could be felt more

acutely among small businesses, which employ roughly 62.3 million people, or 45.9% of private-sector workers, according to the Small Business Administration. Covered workers at smaller firms contributed an average of $9,687 in 2026 toward family coverage, compared with $6,840 at firms with 200 or more workers, the survey says. In 2025, they paid roughly $8,900, compared with about $6,200 for larger firms, the report said. The survey found that covered workers at smaller firms contribute an average of 37% of the premium for family coverage, compared with 25% at larger firms. And 32% of covered workers at small firms are enrolled in plans in which they must pay more than half the family premium, compared with just 6% at larger companies.

Sharp drops for AI stocks overwhelm markets worldwide as oil prices jump Meta says it hit 'major milestones'

BY STAN CHOE and ALEX VEIGA AP business writers

NEW YORK — The latest shudder for stocks in the artificial-intelligence industry pulled markets lower worldwide on Thursday, while oil prices hit their highest levels since May on worries about the war with Iran. The weakness for tech stocks was so overwhelming that it masked strength for the rest of the U.S. market, where the majority of stocks actually rose. AI-related stocks have been swinging on worries that their boom may be under threat because of how expensive it’s become to borrow money to build data centers and buy more AI chips. Lam Research, whose equipment and services help make semiconductors, reported gains in profit and revenue for the summer that were slightly stronger than analysts expected, for example. Usually, that helps boost a stock’s price, but Lam Research’s tumbled 11.8%. The global tide against AI stocks knocked Nvidia down 4.4%. Because the chip giant is the largest company on Wall Street by total value, movements for its stock carry more weight on the S&P 500 than any other, and it was the single strongest force pulling the index lower. CoreWeave, which has borrowed money to buy Nvidia’s AI chips that it rents out to customers over the cloud, has been particularly shaky in recent weeks because of worries about its debt. It dropped 10.1%. The price for a barrel of Brent crude oil leaped 4% to $113.17 after touching its highest level in five months. It’s shot up from less than $97 at the start of the month on uncertainty about when the war with Iran will allow the global energy industry to return to normal. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury tumbled to 4.97% from 5.13% late Wednesday and from more than 5.30% earlier this month. That’s a major move for the bond market. Thursday’s drop in yields came even as another report suggested the U.S. economy may be doing better than economists expected. It said fewer U.S. workers applied for unemployment benefits last week, which

BY GIADA ZAMPANO Associated Press

ROME — A truckers’ protest in southern Italy has halted the production of the famed buffalo mozzarella, causing an estimated loss of 3 million euros in just 24 hours as the milk cannot reach dairies in the Naples region and the ﬁnished cheese cannot reach customers, an ofﬁcial said. The weeklong strike by truck drivers over the high cost of diesel driven up by the Iran war has also blocked deliveries of other basic goods to supermarkets and left gas pumps empty in much of southern Italy. The government approved new tax breaks for truckers Thursday, but it was too early to tell whether they were

because the production of the protected cheese depends on a tightly timed supply chain. Buffaloes have to be milked regardless of whether dairies are operating, while production rules require that their milk be turned into mozzarella within 60 hours. Buffalo mozzarella is softer, creamier and richer than cow’smilk mozzarella. Pier Maria Saccani, director of the Consortium for the Protection of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP, said that about 1 million liters of buffalo milk produced on Wednesday couldn’t be turned into mozzarella because of the transport blockade. The consortium oversees production standards and protects the designation of origin of the cheese in Italy and abroad.

in 24 hours” — a loss of about 3.4 million dollars. Farmers typically have only enough capacity to hold the fresh milk until dairy trucks collect it and cannot store large quantities for extended periods. “So this blockade has obviously caused panic among farmers, who say, ‘Where are we going to put it?’” Saccani added. The dairies making mozzarella cannot afford to accumulate a highly perishable product if trucks are unable to deliver it to customers. Several dairies have remained closed as a result, Saccani said, describing the situation as a “complete production blockade.” During an extraordinary Cabinet meeting on Thursday, the Italian government led by Premier Giorgia Meloni approved new mea-

combined 540 million euros in tax credits, up from 434 million euros. Some farmers have resorted to feeding part of the unused milk to their animals because they have nowhere to send it, Saccani said, adding that the transport disruption is also threatening supplies of animal feed and diesel needed to keep farms operating. “It’s a very, very complex and delicate situation,” he said. Buffalo mozzarella is an important industry in the Campania region, where the city of Naples is located, and in neighboring areas of southern Italy. Saccani said that in 2025, the production of Mozzarella di Bufala Campana DOP totaled just under 58,000 metric tons, with about 37% of production exported. France is its largest foreign market.

Trash audit is first step to a sustainable Mardi Gras

With big investments come big pollution risks

New Orleans leaders are doing heavy lifting in the name of fixing our budget woes. The Louisiana legislative auditor’s August 2026 report is encouraging, suggesting that tighter bookkeeping for residential trash pickup and recycling services could lead to savings for the city. As leaders of environmental sustainability organizations who advocate Maryann for reducing landfill waste, we’re heartened to see this Miller progress. GUEST However, there is more COLUMNIST opportunity at hand. The recent move by the City Council to moderately increase the fees Carnival krewes contribute to the city’s hosting costs of planning, safety and waste pickup should result in a more calculated Caroline approach to understanding Vanchiere the persistent and growGUEST ing $4 million Mardi Gras COLUMNIST deficit, specifically what is costing $1.5 million to haul to the landfill. Now is a critical time to dig deeper and look at the opportunity cost of commingling recyclables with trash. When we send parade trash to the landfill jumbled together with materials that have value — such as aluminum, glass and re-tossable throws — we’re throwing money away. Based on the way that Mardi Gras waste is managed today, the city doesn’t know exactly what the waste is or who is responsible for it, only that it all ends up in the landfill (except about 60,000 pounds annually that is diverted by the RecycleDAT Coalition). In 2026 alone, the city collected 2.7 million pounds of waste off the streets at Mardi Gras, yet we have no concrete data about what comprises this waste and, therefore, no clear path to effectively address it. The ideal solution would be to conduct the city’s first Mardi Gras waste audit — a professional examination of what materials compose our Mardi Gras street trash before it is hauled to landfills. This practice stems from the idea of producer responsibility — obligating producers to plan for their product’s end of life when it becomes waste. The premise is simple: If your activity

is the cause of the waste, you are expected to plan for appropriately addressing it — rather than cast it off on New Orleans taxpayers. Made diligently using best practices, a waste audit would be a one-time cost of $20,000 to $30,000 and could identify ways to minimize the current $1.5 million expense of Mardi Gras waste, such as improved recycling access, selling salvageable materials for scrap value and incentives for decreasing waste or using sustainable materials. The overall value of this effort is largely dependent upon what actions we as a community take in order to prioritize reducing waste on parade routes. However, the impact to the city could be significant. If only 5% of waste generated at Mardi Gras is aluminum, for instance, that material could be generating roughly $65,000 in revenue to offset costs or support other programming within the city. Instead, the city pays to send aluminum to the landfill. A waste audit would be a foundation to help the city make the best, most informed financial decisions about why Mardi Gras waste costs so much and how New Orleans can equitably share those costs with waste producers.

COMMENTARY DIALOGUE ON RACE VOTING RIGHTS AND REDISTRICTING WITH PRESS ROBINSON

‘My hopes are not the same’ Civil rights pioneer Press Robinson explains how Callais case has changed the voting landscape

Civil rights pioneer Press Robinson Sr., was the featured speaker at a recent gathering of the group Dialogue on Race Louisiana, part of a national nonprofit begun in Baton Rouge in 1994 to foster honest discussions about racism and the systems that support it. Robinson delivered remarks on voting rights and redistricting. At 89, he said he hopes a new generation can take the baton in the civil rights struggle. Maxine Crump, founder and CEO of Dialogue on Race, introduced Robinson. The following conversation has been edited for length and clarity. CRUMP: In 1957, a young college student who had just turned 21 walked into the registrar’s office carrying more than a request for a voter’s card. He carried determination. He carried the quiet belief that his voice mattered. Before he could be registered, the clerk handed him a section of the U.S. Constitution to read aloud. After only a few lines, the clerk stopped him and said, “That’s enough.” In that moment, he received his registration card, but he recognized that this practice was only used when Black citizens showed up to register to vote. He recognized the injustice. For citizens who were White, registering to vote was treated as a basic right, which it is. That day taught him something he would never forget: Voting is your voice, dignity, justice and the power of a community to be heard. He came to understand that democracy is strongest when every voice has a fair chance to speak, and every vote has a fair chance to count. The young man I just talked about became Dr. Press L. Robinson Sr., a man whose life has been shaped by courage, service and an unwavering commitment to justice. Dr. Robinson served as the lead plaintiff in Robinson v. Callais, a key redistricting case at the center of the national conversation surrounding Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, working alongside the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Before that fight, though, he had led the federal lawsuit that challenged East Baton Rouge Parish’s discriminatory at-large voting system. After that victory, he became the first African American elected to the East Baton Rouge School Board in 1980, where he served 22 years, including three terms as board president. His commitment to service has shaped generations of students and colleagues. During 42 years with the Southern University System, he served as professor of chemistry, vice chancellor of academic affairs and chancellor at Southern University at Shreveport and New Orleans, Dr. Robinson often reminds us that history repeats itself, yet his life reminds us of something just as powerful. History can be challenged, redirected and transformed when people come together. The following are excerpts from Robinson’s remarks.

On redistricting People often talk about redistricting and voting rights as separate issues. But in reality, they’re inseparable. And together, they sit at the intersection of law, politics, democracy and civil rights. At ﬁrst glance, redistricting sounds like something that might be left to statisticians, lawyers or state legislators. And I understand that. That’s because we hear terms like population data, district boundaries, geographic compactness, apportionment and election maps. So it’s natural that people would think in those terms. Yet, I’m here to tell you that re-

STAFF PHOTO BY JAVIER GALLEGOS

Press Robinson Sr. speaks during The Dialogue on Race and Redistricting on Oct. 15. districting is fundamentally about political power. It’s about deciding which voters are grouped together, which communities are represented together and ultimately, which voters have a meaningful — note the word meaningful — opportunity to elect representatives of their choice. Unfortunately today, our politicians are selecting their voters, when voters should be selecting their politicians. So they got it backward, y’all. We need to straighten that out. We need to change that.

On the Callais case And of course, I have to just mention that when the Supreme Court made its decision on April 29, 2026, in the Callais case — which began, of course, as Robinson v. Ardoin, changed over to Robinson v. Landry when (Nancy) Landry was elected secretary of state, and is now Louisiana v. Callais — that was our suit. I had the opportunity to serve as the plaintiff in that suit. Now on paper, the process of redistricting is pretty straightforward. People move, populations change, district boundaries change. But the thing that you must remember is that when districts are redrawn, the distribution of political power is redrawn. That’s why the Constitution and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and decades of Supreme Court decisions placed legal limits on how these lines could be drawn.

On political power To understand this relationship between redistricting and voting rights, we must understand a very simple principle: Votes matter, not only because they are cast, but because of how electoral systems translate those votes into representation. Voters can have the formal right to cast a ballot and still face barriers to meaningful representation because of dilution, such as packing and cracking. Now, when you pack voters, you put them all in one district. And when you crack them, you spread them out

over several districts so that their votes may not even count. This is exactly what’s being done in Louisiana today as related to the U.S. House districts. Black voters are concentrated in District 2 and literally sprinkled out in the other ﬁve districts so that they cannot have a signiﬁcant impact on who’s elected.

On House District 2 Louisiana, as you probably well remember, created a congressional map with two majority-Black districts to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and a federal court order. A federal court in Baton Rouge told them they had to redraw it. And the most conservative court perhaps in the United States, the Fifth Circuit, told them they had to redraw and provide two districts. But the United States Supreme Court, which had for years upheld these principles, in Louisiana v. Callais, stripped away the effectiveness of Section 2. April 29, 2026. I’ll never forget it. My hopes were high until then. I’m still in the ﬁght, but my hopes are not the same. And it did so by ruling that the map that the state of Louisiana came up with was a racial gerrymander. In other words, that it used race improperly. Now I won’t go into all of … whatever went on with the governor, why he did what he did and why that district ran from Baton Rouge to Shreveport. They certainly weren’t the [maps] that we proposed. We had districts that were much more compact. And as a matter of fact, the districts that we presented reached all of the milestones of the law. But the governor had other ideas. With Sections 2 and 5 both gutted, the Voting Rights Act of ‘65 is now, today, as we speak, for all practical purposes, completely demolished. And as Supreme Court Justice [Elena] Kagan says, it’s a dead letter. In other words, no provisions remain except the Constitution itself, which protects voters’ rights to an equal opportunity to participate politically and, under the

relevant legal framework, to elect representatives of their choice.

On what’s at stake So what will become of Black voting rights and representation in America? This is what could happen and seems to be happening unless we change it. The country could be headed toward the largest ever decline in representation by Black members throughout the political spectrum. The largest ever. With protection of the collective voting power of racial minorities no longer readily available once the maps are drawn, Black representation is destined to decrease dramatically — not only in the U.S. Congress, but for local elections, state elections. Remember there’s still a suit in federal court about redistricting the Louisiana Legislature. That has not been resolved yet, but you can bet the gerrymandering will be in full force in that process. With representation by Black members decreasing, a National Public Radio analysis has found that the Section 2 ruling could put 15 House districts currently represented by Black members of Congress at risk. The advocacy groups Fair Fight Action and Black Voters Matter estimate that as much as 11% of the Hispanic caucus could be lost and close to 200 Democratic-held state legislative seats mostly representing majority Black districts in the South could be eliminated. That’s what’s before us. That’s the possibility. Many states are moving to try to make that happen. This prospective state of ofﬁceholding harkens back to the days of Jim Crow. Let’s be real about it. That’s where it’s trying to go. We may not see the return of racist poll taxes, Black codes, literacy tests, the jelly bean test and other such voter restrictions. But we are witnessing more modern tactics, such as proof of citizenship when registering to vote, voter identiﬁcation to cast a ballot, limits on when and how voters can mail their ballots in, relocation of poll-

ing places, reduction of the number of polling places and mail-in ballot [dropoff] sites, purging voter rolls, threats of violence and intimidation — even by our own government. But we can’t let that stop us from going to the polls and voting.

On the way forward Let us remember that voters of color deserve an equal voice in our democracy and that racism in America unfortunately is still alive and well. We must avoid being fooled by the specious claim that discrimination no longer exists. The Supreme Court’s decision in Callais is a direct frontal attack on African American voting rights, constitutionally protected rights of Blacks that were earned with much suffering and sacrifice by our ancestors. Callais is not over yet. The Supreme Court remanded it to the three-judge panel in Shreveport. And on Oct. 27, there’s gonna be a hearing because the Callais plaintiffs don’t want any majority-Black district in Louisiana, so they’re going to claim that District 2 is a racial gerrymander and ask the court to declare such. Because of the diminished legal protection, we must now fight as we did in the ’60s and ’70s. We must demand new voting rights legislation, continue the struggle in the courts. Every vote from us is a vote for us. Let us stay in lockstep, informed, prepared and ready for the participation we deserve. I urge Blacks and other minorities — and all of us — let nothing keep you from committing to the fight and adopting the following mantra: We will not tire, we will not falter and we will not fail.

nicest stadium. “I’m deﬁnitely excited for the scenery and to be a part of it,” Kamara said. “It’s the ﬁrst NFL game being played in France.” One step onto the grounds of the massive 81,338-seat stadium makes it clear why Stade de France was so highly recommended. Opened in 1998, the all-purpose facility still looks modern enough — but carries a rich history that includes hosting some of the country’s most iconic events.

LSU running back Dilin Jones cuts away from the Mississippi State defense in the first quarter on Saturday at Tiger Stadium.

For coach Lane Kiffin, the most gratifying part of dipping into the transfer portal is pulling out pleasant surprises. Each year, Kiffin and his staff are trying to find players such as LSU running back Dilin Jones. The portal entrants who fly under the radar and then prove that more teams should’ve spent more time trying to scoop them up. “I really like those stories,” Kiffin said. And the first-year LSU coach certainly has one in Jones, the transfer tailback whose emergence this season as one of the top ball carriers in the Southeastern Conference has been as noteworthy as it is surprising. Jones was once a highly rated recruit, but he didn’t do much with the 92 carries he received over two years at Wisconsin. In the offseason, 247Sports didn’t even include him in its list of the top 50 transfer running backs of the cycle. Neither did

to enter his name into the portal in 2026. So, Jones was quite a find for Kiffin and his staff. Only three SEC running backs have rushed for more yards this season than Jones, who has 566 yards and five touchdowns on 128 carries. The Wisconsin transfer isn’t just benefiting from the Kiffin scheme either. He’s picking up yards for himself. Just two SEC tailbacks have forced more missed tackles than Jones has through seven games (33), according to Pro Football Focus data, and only three have rushed for more yards after contact (445). Add those impressive numbers to what Jones has done as a pass catcher out of the backfield — his 190 receiving yards rank ninth among all FBS running backs — and you’ll see why a former low-profile transfer has become one of the LSU’s most indispensable offensive players ahead of a Week 8 road game against Auburn (11 a.m., ABC).

Surprising Rays-Brewers showdown

Steelers fan event in Paris canceled following protests PARIS — A weekend event for Pittsburgh Steelers fans in Paris has been canceled because of security concerns following recent street protests in the French capital. The NFL and the team both said Thursday that the event — at a bar in the Bastille neighborhood — was off. The announcement came a day after league commissioner Roger Goodell said he has a high comfort level in the the teams playing in Paris amid recent civil unrest. More demonstrations could be in store this weekend in the capital and elsewhere around France. “Preparations for Sunday’s NFL Paris game at Stade de France continue as planned,” it added, “with the NFL working closely with local authorities and partners on all operational and security matters.”

MILWAUKEE — The Miz will try to whiz his famous fastball by batters on baseball’s biggest stage, opening a new-look World Series between teams guaranteed to produce a first-time champion. Jacob Misiorowski brings his record-setting heat to the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night when he throws the first pitch of the best-of-seven championship against the Tampa Bay Rays, a matchup of modest-money marvels who bumped off glamorous rivals with a throwback baseto-base style. “Forrest Gump, everyone,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Thursday, introducing his ace to the assembled media. “I’m still fresh to this and have no idea what the hell is going on,” Misiorowski said a few minutes later. Few predicted this pairing of pennant winners when the season opened March 25. The first World Series with robot umpires is the first since 1980 between teams seeking their first championship and also could be the first with a 104 mph pitch — thanks to Misiorowski — and the first to be played totally indoors. “I’m excited to see two great teams that play the game a little differently than maybe it’s been played the last decade or so,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Milwaukee is in the Series for the second time after a 44-year absence — an appropriate number given that it was the jersey of the Cream City’s most famous baseball player, Hank Aaron, who became a star with the Milwaukee Braves in the 1950s and ended his career with the expansion Brewers in the 1970s. Both teams fell short in previous Series trips, the Brewers losing to St. Louis in 1982 and the Rays to Philadelphia in 2008 and to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020. Not since the Phillies beat Kansas City in 1980 have two teams met seeking their first title. The time before that was in 1920.

Misiorowski likely to set record Misiorowski, a 24-year-old righthander in his ﬁrst full major league season, is a starting pitcher like no other. He threw 1,115 pitches of 100 mph or higher this year — shattering the old high of 673 since tracking began in 2008, by Jordan Hicks in 2018. His fastest pitch was 105.5 mph to the Chicago Cubs’ Pete Crow-

Not only did Nantz turn out to be ﬁne, although a bit sore, but the chairman of CBS’ and Skydance’s Sports Division had better news to deliver. He was making Watt the permanent lead analyst for CBS Sports’ NFL coverage. The announcement was made Thursday morning along with Watt signing a multi-year agreement. Watt joined play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson after Tony Romo went on leave following his July 23 arrest in Wisconsin.

Misiorowski didn’t finish the ﬁfth inning in either of his ﬁrst two postseason starts this year. Batters have swung at 94 of his 182 postseason pitches and fouled off 51 — 28% of pitches and 54% of swings. “He hasn’t been as crisp,” Murphy said. “They’re obviously looking at an area. They’re trying to exploit everything. He’s exposed, like all these guys get at some point.”

Dream guard Howard wreaks havoc with 5 steals BY DOUG FEINBERG

ä Golden State at Atlanta.

ATLANTA — Rhyne Howard has been a ball hawk for Atlanta on the defensive end all season long, leading the WNBA in steals. She’s upped her play in the WNBA Finals. Howard had five steals on Wednesday night in Atlanta’s 97-71 rout of the Golden State Valkyries in Game 3. That came after she had six steals in the Game 2 victory. She’s the ﬁrst player in WNBA history to have consecutive games with ﬁve or more steals. “On the other side you have one of the better scorers (Gabby Williams) in the postseason, so I just needed to make her life hard, take her shots away, take her looks away, get in the passing lanes and making sure that they’re not getting anything easy, as opposed to what we’re trying to get on the offensive end,” said Howard, who averaged 2.3 steals this season. Howard and the Dream have been locked in defensively the entire series so far. Even in the Game 1 loss they only gave up 68 points. They just didn’t force as many turnovers. On Wednesday, Atlanta

turned 17 Golden State turnovers into 22 points. “We’re No. 1 in a lot of categories, and that ﬁrst game we didn’t show why,” Howard said. “So I think Game 2 and Game 3 today, we showed why we were No. 1 in those categories not only in the postseason, but in the games leading up.” Golden State guard Veronica Burton knows the Valkyries need to do better taking care of the basketball, especially when Howard is around. “She’s long. I think she’s deceptively long, and she has good instincts,” Burton said. “We’ve got to take care of the ball more when she’s in the gaps.” Howard also had her offense going in the victory with 16 points, four assists and four rebounds. She had 17 points combined in the ﬁrst two games. The All-Star was more aggressive getting to the basket instead of settling for 3-pointers. Howard had 10 free throw attempts while only attempting two 3-pointers.

Forward Gayle cleared to play 5th season at Michigan

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Roddy Gayle has been cleared to play a fifth season of college basketball for No. 16 Michigan, according to Wolverines coach Mike Boynton. Gayle, who is from Niagara Falls, New York, said he was told on Wednesday that a judge in his home state made the latest ruling to pave the way for him to play. Gayle is expected to play for the defending champion Wolverines against No. 10 Houston in an exhibition game on Sunday in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The 6-foot-5 guard is among a slew of players who have joined lawsuits across the country after the NCAA instituted sweeping changes to its eligibility rules, allowing five years of competition over a five-year period.

NASCAR issued a $50,000 fine to Cup Series driver Zane Smith after he rammed Carson Hocevar’s car during a post-race cool-down lap Sunday at Phoenix Raceway after ignoring orders to refrain from such antics. NASCAR vice president of racing communications Mike Forde said on the “Hauler Talk” podcast that Smith and Hocevar had been warned back in July not to engage in any post-race contact following a run-in at Chicagoland Speedway. NASCAR elected not to fine drivers Michael McDowell and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. after similar post-race contact on Oct. 11 at Charlotte Motor Speedway following the checkered flag. There is precedence for such a fine. In 2024, NASCAR fined Bubba Wallace $50,000 for hitting Alex Bowman on the cool-down lap after the Chicago Street Race.

Tulane coach Hall thankful Two former AP Players of the Year headline to have met Charlie Hall AP All-America team BY GUERRY SMITH Contributing writer

Tulane football coach Will Hall took time at the end of his Tuesday press conference to eulogize Charlie Hall, a defensive tackle who helped break the color barrier for the Green Wave in 1971. Hall, a Lake Charles product and Walter Camp All-America selection after making 71 tackles with seven sacks during his junior year in 1973, died this past weekend soon after turning 74. “I was blessed last year to come back (to Tulane) for so many reasons, but one of them was I actually got to meet Charlie,” Will Hall said. “They came back last year and were introduced to the team. We’re certainly thinking about his family and praying for his family. We love him and love all those guys.” Charlie Hall was one of the Black players who integrated the team along with classmates John Washington, Charles Inniss and Robert Johnson in 1971. All four were honored during Tulane’s 2021 home game against Cincinnati on the 50th anniversary of their arrival, with Hall, Washington and Inniss (the three still living at the time) serving as honorary captains. Hall, a 260-pound behemoth with speed, made the greatest impact of the foursome on the field. He was a stalwart on the 1973 team that posted three shutouts on the way to a 9-3 record and Bluebonnet Bowl berth, including an emotional14-0 blanking of eight-ranked LSU at Tulane Stadium that ended a 24-year losing streak to the Tigers. He was part of a stretch when Tulane won 17 of 21 games in 1973 and 1974. Selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 1975 draft, he chose to play in the World Football League instead before a knee injury ended his career. Inducted into the Tulane Hall of Fame in 1981, he later retired after 33 years of teaching in Jefferson Parish. While making it clear he was not generalizing for anyone else, Hall labeled his Tulane experience as totally positive in an interview before the 2021 celebration. “I went to a majority White school when I was at Lake Charles, so it wasn’t bad for me at all,” he said. “I was able to adjust. I didn’t run into any (resistance) on campus.”

The next step is staying on the field offensively. Tulane (3-3, 1-1 American) enters its pivotal home game with Texas-San Antonio ranked near the bottom of the FBS in most advanced metrics statistical categories, and according to the website The Fourth Quarter, has endured more three-and-outs than anyone (35.4%). Even in last Friday’s 31-17 win over Memphis, the Green Wave failed to pick up a first down on its first three series and four of its first five. “There are some things we’ve got to do to be better, but we wanted to protect (freshman quarterback Trace Johnson) early,” Hall said. “That was my fault. After the second series me and coach (offensive coordinator Russ) Callaway were like let’s cut him loose, let’s let the reigns go. Our run game got better and better as the game went on as we spread the ball out.”

Army then scored touchdowns on its first seven possessions and eight of nine overall in a 56-24 rout of Florida Atlantic. Duke scored its season-low of 17 points against Tulane. South Alabama’s 24 points were its second-lowest total until it lost 20-13 to Marshall on Tuesday, and the Jaguars have played without dualthreat quarterback Bishop Davenport since facing the Wave. “We’ve played well on defense all year,” Hall said. “We haven’t gotten the credit for it we probably deserve because of the expectations that surround us. When you look at who we’ve played and how they played versus everybody else and how they’ve played against us, we’ve played good defense.”

UConn’s Sarah Strong and USC’s JuJu Watkins, who have won The Associated Press Player of the Year award the last two years headline the preseason AP All-America women’s college basketball team released Thursday. They were joined by Vanderbilt guard Mikayla Blakes, Texas forward Madison Booker and Notre Dame guard Hannah Hidalgo. Strong earned 30 votes from the 31-member national media panel that chooses the AP Top 25 each week. Hidalgo and Booker each received 28 votes. Blakes had 27 and Watkins 26. It’s the third consecutive year that Hidalgo and Booker were honored as preseason picks. Strong, the reigning AP Player of the Year, averaged 18.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and shot 58.2% from the ﬁeld as a sophomore forward to help the Huskies reach the Final Four a year after they won their 12th national championship. “She was national player of the year, you know, and it’s pretty hard to get that much better,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. “But it’s not that hard to get better at some things that she wants to get better at. And I think what we’ll see is a much more aggressive Sarah, much more intentional, much more understanding.” Watkins is coming back after missing last year while recovering from an ACL tear in her right knee that she suffered in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. The talented guard earned AP Player of the Year honors that season as a sophomore. Watkins is healthy and ready to go. “We are obviously excited for JuJu to be back on the court,” USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. “She has worked so hard both on

and off the court, and the joy and talent she brings to college basketball is a great thing not only for our team, but for anyone who is a fan of the game.” Hidalgo has been a ﬁxture on the All-America team and is coming off another fantastic season. The Notre Dame senior guard averaged 25.3 points — third best in the country — and 5.6 steals last season. “I don’t focus on the numbers ever,” Hidalgo said. “All the numbers I put up last year was never about me saying, ‘OK, I’m going to get this amount of points and this amount of steals.’ I go out every single game and play every game like it’s my last, and the numbers just come with how I play.” Blakes led the nation in scoring with 27 points per game and was even better in Southeastern Conference play (30.5). She knows the more confidence she helps her teammates build keeps her from being the focal point. “My role is going to change,” Blakes said. “We have a lot of good scorers this year and really a lot of good players. So I feel like doing whatever the team needs me to do and continue to read defenses really well.” Booker averaged 18.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists last season to help the Longhorns reach the Final Four for a second straight season. “In my mind, Madison Booker is the best player in the country,” Texas coach Vic Schaefer said. “Every night when we take the floor, I feel pretty good about that.” Strong, Blakes and Booker were all first-team All-Americans last spring while Hidalgo was on the second team. The AP began releasing a preseason AllAmerica team before the 1994-95 season.

Struggling Texas QB Manning says he’ll be ‘letting it rip’ against Ole Miss BY JIM VERTUNO AP sportswriter

AUSTIN,Texas — Arch Manning leading No. 19 Texas against No. 7 Ole Miss was supposed to be weeklong family stroll down memory lane. Grandfather Archie Manning was a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Rebels. So was Super Bowlwinning uncle Eli. And Saturday night is the first meeting of the programs since Texas moved from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference. But the memories have been undercut by Arch Manning’s struggles this season, and questions of whether he could be benched for backup KJ Lacey after consecutive losses to unranked opponents that sent Texas tumbling from No. 1. Steve Sarkisian said he’s sticking with Manning as the starter, but acknowledged, “I need to see a better version of Arch.” Manning promised he’s ready to do that. No more hesitation in pass protection or finding receivers. He’s going to play fast and free and have fun. “I’m gonna die on the hill of letting it rip,” Manning said. Sarkisian has faced criticism of his own. He is the architect and play caller of a Texas offense that ranks among the bottom third in the SEC and hasn’t scored more than three touchdowns since the ﬁrst game of the season. Texas (4-2, 1-2 SEC) has lost consecutive regular-season games for the ﬁrst time since 2021. A third loss would likely doom the Longhorns’ chances of making the College Football Playoff. Rebels coach Pete Golding dismissed the criticism of Manning and the turmoil on the Texas sideline over Sarkisian’s play calling. He remembers the quarterback and team that rallied to beat thenNo. 1 Ohio State back on Sept. 12.

Saints grateful for week to adjust to European time zone BY LUKE JOHNSON Staff writer

VERSAILLES, France — Ryan Wright has been part of several NFL teams to make a trip across the Atlantic Ocean and play a football game, but this week is also a bit of a new experience. The New Orleans Saints punter flew in on Monday with the rest of his teammates, and he will finally be fully acclimated to a European time zone by the time kickoff arrives this Sunday. “On a shorter week, you just kind of have to deal with it; you’ve got to man up and play the game,” Wright said. “Whereas when we’re here for the entire week, you get a couple days to get acclimated and have a true normal week. Either way you’ve still got to play the game and the goal is to win.” The Saints flew out of New Jersey a few hours after beating the New York Giants last Sunday, arriving in France Monday morning. While there are some other considerations with the Saints holding exclusive marketing rights in France, this is also how the team has typically operated when it has come to international games. And if the football reasons behind it weren’t obvious, they became clear when hearing the players speak after practices this week. “Today was the first day I felt normal; every other day was a struggle,” said defensive back Martin Emerson Thursday, his fourth day in France. “I felt kind of delusional; I was so tired,” running back Kendre Miller said. Cam Jordan, the Saints’ 37-year-old

But for the game to happen, France’s iconic stadium had to be tailored to the precise setup that has made the NFL a well-oiled machine over the years. Details, big and small, have to be just right. “It’s always going to have challenges whenever you have an American sport in a European stadium,” said Jon Barker, the NFL’s global head of major events and international games. “There’s going to be things that we have to do. We have to change

Continued from page 1C in the second quarter, outscoring the Pacers by 17 points in the period to build a 66-56 halftime lead. That lead was 92-86 heading into the fourth quarter. Yves Missi showed that he can be the inside presence the Pels need, ﬁnishing with 13 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocked shots. “I thought Yves was incredible,” Mosley said. “Absolutely incredible.” Zion Williamson, who has worked all offseason on improving his 3-point shot, buried his second trey of the night at the halftime buzzer, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Williamson shot just four 3-pointers all last season. He shot that many Wednesday. Seven different players scored in double ﬁgures, showing just

edge rusher, was especially happy to arrive early. Speaking to reporters after the team’s ﬁrst practice Wednesday afternoon, he tried to conceptualize the idea of playing a game 48 hours after arrival. “I would not lie to you, it wouldn’t have happened,” Jordan said. “I would’ve been out there looking like a jellyﬁsh.” Of course, the players getting their bodies synced up with the local time zone is not a guaranteed predictor of success. The Saints know that from their past trip abroad. In 2022, New Orleans spent the entire week in London only to lose 28-25 to the Minnesota Vikings, who’d arrived the Friday before the game. It’s worth noting that Minnesota went 13-4 that season. Wright was on that Vikings team, and he converted a 4th and 2 by throwing a pass to Josh Nailor for 13 yards on a fake punt.

Attendance report Kicker Daniel Carlson, who remained in the United States after the Giants game to be present for the birth of his child, was still not in attendance during the period of Thursday’s practice that was open to the media. Veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux continued to take his regular Thursday rest day, and offensive guard Cesar Ruiz also continued to miss practice with a knee injury that he suffered against the Giants. Ruiz and rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson attended practice as spectators.

MVP visit

Jones does a little bit of everything for LSU. His runs keep the offense ahead of the chains, which allows the unit to engage its tempo. When defenses blitz quarterback Sam Leavitt, he blocks free rushers. When the Tiger receivers don’t come open, he flares out and gives Leavitt an easy completion. And when Jones gets the ball in his hands, he’ll probably use either his strength or his agility to evade tacklers. “I don’t even know how some people can tackle him in space,” Leavitt said after LSU’s win over Mississippi State on Saturday. “He does an incredible job of making the first guy miss on checkdowns and making explosive plays for me. It’s super easy for me to just check the ball down and go get a first down.” Leavitt has made those kinds of plays a staple of the LSU offense in recent weeks. Jones caught more passes in his past two games (15) than he did in his first five (11). He had seven catches for 84 yards in the Tigers’ Week 6 loss to Kentucky and eight catches for 64 yards in their Week 7 win over

Mississippi State. Jones has now officially run for more yards in seven games than LSU’s leading rusher, Caden Durham, did all last season. In 2025, the Tigers rushed for only 104 yards per game, which ranked 104th among FBS teams. This year, Jones has helped LSU run for 196 yards per game. That rate ranks 32nd in the nation and fourth in the SEC. Only South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia have picked up more yards on the ground than the Tigers. And Kiffin’s offense still has room to improve. LSU averaged only 2.8 yards per carry in its last two games. It rushed for 94 yards against Kentucky and 90 against Mississippi State. The quick passes to Jones have become an extension of the ground game – a counterattack to use against defenses that load up to stop the run. Opponents didn’t respect LSU’s rushing attack last season. Now they have to, in large part because Jones has emerged as Kiffin’s latest transfer portal success story. “Dilin’s done great,” Kiffin said. “Really made a lot of people miss in the run game, and he’s been very helpful in the pass game. “He’s a really good player. Really glad he’s here.”

You know, I just think I caught it early. I’m in a good place.” Faulk said he wants to advocate for people to seek help if they experience symptoms, regardless of how much money they have. He said that people shouldn’t limit themselves because there are multiple avenues to treatment. Faulk, a New Orleans native, was introduced as Southern’s new coach Dec. 1. Before leading the program, he was the running backs coach at Colorado. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2011 after a 12year career, notching 12,279 yards rushing, 6,875 yards receiving and 136 total touchdowns. The former second overall pick in the 1994 NFL Draft is one of two running backs in the league’s history with at least 12,000 rushing and 5,000 career receiving yards. The other tailback is Marcus Allen. Faulk was a Super Bowl XXIV champion with the then-St. Louis Rams and was The Associated Press NFL MVP that season. He is a seven-time Pro Bowler and a three-time All-Pro. He was also a major part of the Rams’ “Greatest Show on Turf” offense. After his playing career, he became an analyst at NFL Network. Faulk attended Carver High School in New Orleans and then starred at San Diego State University. In three seasons with the Aztecs, he rushed for 4,589 yards — 6 yards per attempt — and 57 touchdowns across three seasons.

stuff like that.” He spoke to his doctor about it at one of his two physicals per year after he had the same hand issues when he wasn’t golﬁng. “I was like, ‘Wow, is that something?’” Faulk said. “‘Is that normal?’ And the doctor was — he literally was like, ‘You need to go get checked.’” Faulk called himself “one of the lucky ones” who got the diagnosis early and said he’s not in poor spirits because it’s something that can be managed through treatment, comparing it to recovering from injuries during his NFL career. The Jaguars’ first-year coach said he has become more active and is sleeping more since beginning treatment. While life has remained normal, he still experiences rigidity in his hands, but the condition has not worsened. “The little tremors that I get, you know, they are what they are,” Faulk said. “I just pay attention to my gait, you know, while I walk, when I’m working out, my ability to balance. It’s still where it is.” The podcast host asked Faulk if he shared his diagnosis with family and friends. “I haven’t really had the conversation with them about it,” he said. “If it comes a time to where my lifestyle changes, then I will. Then that conversation could be Email Toyloy Brown III at had. I’m functioning. I’m good. toyloy.brown@theadvocate.com.

After missing each of the past three games with a calf injury, Saints linebacker Kaden Elliss said he will be ready to play in the Saints Week 7 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. “It was tough to not get to play the game you love with the guys you love for the city you love,” Elliss said. “But at the end of the day I’m thankful to be back and I’m excited.” Elliss was one of the Saints’ priciest acquisitions this offseason, and he was showing why in his ﬁrst three games. He hadn’t yet recorded a sack, but he was a major part of the New Orleans pass rush, recording ﬁve quarterback

The day before the Saints beat the New York Giants to snap a three-game losing skid, they had a special visitor in their team meeting: New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson. The Most Valuable Player in last season’s NBA Finals received the invite because of his connection to the team’s sports psychologist. Saints coach Kellen Moore has also interacted with Brunson in the past during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he welcomed the opportunity to have a star from another sport present at the team meeting. Brunson was apparently content to simply be an observer to the Saints’ process and did not address the team.

the ﬁeld. We have to change the locker rooms. We have to change some of our camera platforms. … But we’re in great shape today. “If you want to play this game tomorrow, let’s go.” By now, the NFL has become more than equipped to handle the necessary work. France is the ninth foreign country to host an NFL game, the latest part of an international slate that began in 2007. Some venues have held up better than others. The ﬁeld tends to get the most scrutiny. Just this season, the playing surface in Brazil for a Sept. 27 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens became a major talking point after comments from a local soccer star torched the conditions in the

lead-up to the contest. The league also once moved a game from Mexico City in 2018 because of the field’s poor quality. In Paris, NFL field director Nick Pappas expressed confidence Thursday that Stade de France’s field would be up to standard. But work, as always, had to be done. Because the stadium typically hosts soccer matches, the league has had to re-stitch the grass to better suit NFL players. There needs to be stability and traction, Pappas said. “There are different attributes that are needed for a soccer-specific field versus an NFL-specific field,” he said. “A lot of that is due to soccer is very much a ball-onthe-ground sport, right? So the planarity and smoothness of how

a ball rolls on the soccer pitch is critical to their gameplay. … Our athletes are typically larger, typically faster, applying more force to the ground. “Getting that footing is really imperative,” he added. Other areas Pappas and his team have had to alter and monitor include accounting for rain in this week’s forecast, as well as covering the nine-lane athletic track that circles the field. Locker rooms have been expanded — now capable of holding the size of an NFL roster. The stadium’s eighth floor, once a hospitality area, has been converted to coaches’ booths, an instant replay area and other operations. Some fixes are temporary. The booths will be removed after the

event so the hospitality area can be restored. But the cables and channels that the league’s operations installed — so coaches and other staff can talk to each other during the game — will remain. That will make it easier for if — and more like, when — the NFL comes back to Paris. “We’re not just here to play a game and then leave,” Barker said. “This is a long-term investment for us. This is a very important market for us. We’re opening ofﬁces here, and our plan is to play many, many games in France. So we’re looking forward to the ﬁrst one.”

how deep the Pels are. It’s so deep that Herb Jones, the team’s best defender, came off the bench for the ﬁrst time since his rookie season. The Pelicans probably could have at least used him in the closing lineup when they couldn’t get enough stops. But in the end, a Pacers team that was in the NBA Finals two seasons ago prevailed. Their two superstars, Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam, delivered time and time again late. The Pelicans, as has often been the case the last few years, were unable to ﬁnish. “I feel like we are right there and that we are going to make that turn,” Williamson said. “But it’s tough saying it when, respectfully, I feel like we’ve dealt with that the past two or three years. I’ve said it before. It’s hard to win in this league. So if we want to win, that’s just a hurdle we’ve got to get over.” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle has no doubt Mosley will be able to

get the Pelicans over that hump. Mosley worked as an assistant for seven years under Carlisle while he was the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks. Carlisle watched closely what Mosley did the last ﬁve years as head coach of the Orlando Magic. “He totally changed the culture in Orlando,” Carlisle said. “He took that team from being a team that was not known as having any kind of disposition or physicality or that kind of attitude and turned them into a monster defensive team. A very physical team. He’s going to do the same thing here.” There were some positive signs. The Pels outrebounded the Pacers 50-42. They got to the freethrow line 37 times and knocked down 34 of them. Derik Queen gave some valuable minutes off the bench with 10 points and 10 rebounds. But most importantly, the effort was there. “Guys are buying into how hard they need to play and how they have to communicate with

one another,” Mosley said. “This is Game 1.” That’s what fans should remember. This was just the first of 82 games. Despite it being a game the Pelicans let slip away, it won’t define the season. Eventually, though, the Pels will have to figure out who their own Siakam or Haliburton is. They will need someone to take them across the finish line during crunch time. That’ll be up to Mosley to figure that out. In Orlando, his teams had success in crunch time. In a league where the line between wins and losses is usually razor thin, he’ll need to have that same crunch time success in New Orleans. If he does, he can breathe life into basketball here as he did in Orlando when he got the Magic into the playoffs the past three seasons. For now, Mosley is far too busy to look back on his past success. “Right now it’s with the Pelicans,” Mosley said. “And (with) this group of guys and these

coaches and this organization is where you’re excited to be and the journey you’re about to embark on.” Ideally, he would have started off with a win. His players would have, too. Especially in a game they feel like they controlled. “I’m just p***** off that we didn’t get that win,” said Dejounte Murray. “I wanted that win for us, the fans and obviously for him. But we’ll get it sooner than later.” Mosley will make sure they keep plugging away, much like Wednesday’s halftime act. Red Panda, who rides a unicycle while flipping bowls from her leg to the top of her head, had a few bowls crash to the floor towards the end of her act. But she stayed persistent as the Smoothie King Center crowd cheered her on. She finished strong. The Pelicans didn’t. But in their first game under Mosley, it looks like he can get them pointing in the right direction.

Projecting the Catholic League playoff seedings with three weeks to go BY CHRISTOPHER DABE

Staff writer

When is the right time to start looking at power ratings and trying to determine the pecking order for football playoff seeding? Plenty can change over the ﬁnal three weeks of the season, but there are some near certainties. For instance, Edna Karr (7-0), Rummel (6-1) and St. Augustine (7-0) appear poised to hold their places at the top of the Division I select power ratings, possibly in their current 1-2-3 placements, barring any unforeseen upsets. No. 4 Jesuit (5-2) and No. 6 Brother Martin (5-2) are positioned to secure top-eight power ratings, which would earn each a

ﬁrst-round bye and a home game in the second round. Holy Cross (3-4) and John Curtis (2-5) have played the two strongest schedules in Division I select, which explains their Nos. 9 and 10 placements in the latest power ratings despite their losing records. High placements are within reach for each of those schools. Which team faces the toughest road to the ﬁnish? That would be St. Augustine. Up next for the Purple Knights is Brother Martin, a team that was good enough to lead two-time reigning state champion Karr by eight points in the fourth quarter, only to have the Cougars rally and win with an 85-yard intercep-

tion return touchdown. St. Aug’s ﬁnal two games are against a Karr team that is riding a 34-game winning streak, and Rummel, which lost to Karr last week. Which remaining tossup game could shake up the rankings? That would be this week’s matchup between Jesuit and John Curtis. Curtis could use a boost after losing four consecutive district games against teams that have a combined 25-3 record, the most recent coming against Brother Martin with seven turnovers. As for Jesuit, the Blue Jays will wrap up the regular season with games against Rummel and Karr. Will every team in District 9-5A

make the playoffs? That depends on where Chalmette (3-4) lands in the Division I nonselect rankings. Currently No. 23, the Owls need to end the season at No. 28 or higher to make the playoffs. After facing Karr on Thursday, the Owls remaining district games are against Brother Martin and John Curtis. The seven District 9-5A schools in the select bracket are all but assured of their places in the playoffs. Where each of them lands in the bracket will be decided over the next three weekends.

An errant pass sailed out of bounds, prompting Country Day coach Julie Ibieta to turn to her bench and wave outside hitter Jade Washington back on the floor. The coach needed her most powerful weapon to help close out the set, and Washington delivered. The standout senior racked up a team-high 16 kills, two blocks and 11 digs while helping topranked Country Day sweep Pope Late John Paul II 25Thursday 17, 25-21, 25-18 on Wednesday to secure sole possession of the district lead with one league game remaining. The key moment occurred in the second set with Washington resting on the bench. The visiting Jaguars rattled off five consecutive points to reduce Country Day’s once-comfortable lead down to two points at 22-20. That’s when Ibieta called upon her star hitter to restore order. “I was trying to get some other people in, get them experience, give Jade a little bit of a rest and we kind of got out of sorts,” Ibieta said. “Nobody’s fault. At that point you just kind of got to put Jade back in to get everybody in the correct rhythm.” Back on the floor, Washington provided immediate relief for Country Day (23-6), hammering down the next point off an assist from sophomore Lucy Loomis. “I wanted her to set me that ball because I was like, ‘We need to finish this set,’ ” Washington said. “I was just glad she trusted me enough to give me that ball.” Said Loomis: “She’s just very consistent. She’s really good at knowing where to put the ball and knowing that we need the point, and she’s going to put it away.” With the rhythm restored, Marleigh White put the finishing touches on the set, scoring the final two points with a kill and an ace to close out the set. White finished with seven kills, three aces and two blocks. Washington, White and Layla Henderson make up a senior trio of Country Day’s top scorers. Henderson had nine kills, one block and seven digs. The final set ended with another connection between Washington and Loomis. Washington handled the serve-receive herself, bumping the ball to Loomis, who put it in just the right spot. Washington took one step forward, left her feet, and hammered home the final spike. For Pope John Paul II (12-17), seniors Bayleigh Wolfe, Kam Rodriguez and Allyson Boackle combined for 20 kills. Former Mount Carmel coach Taylor Ricaud is in her first season at Pope. “From Day 1 until now, we have made some major improvements,” Ricaud said. “Still working on volleyball IQ and consistency. I’ve seen so much growth in these girls the few short months I’ve been with them.” Contact Christopher Dabe at cdabe@theadvocate.com

Soul Rebels set for Paris, London shows

Brass band to perform before, during Saints game

When the Saints play at Stade de France in Paris on Sunday, they’ll do so to the sounds of home. New Orleans brass band The Soul Rebels will deliver a 90-second rendition of the national anthem at the stadium before kickoff. The band will then be stationed on a small stage along the sidelines to perform at the end of each quarter as TV coverage cuts to commercials. Provided the civil unrest in France doesn’t disrupt plans, the Soul Rebels are scheduled to participate in other events leading up to the ﬁrst-ever regular season NFL game in the country. And this week, they released a new song and video in honor of the occasion. Titled, appropriately, “Saints in Paris,” it was written by trumpeter Marcus “Red” Hubbard.

Art finds a home in old Ford Motor Plant in Arabi BY JENNA ROSS

Staff writer

t an art opening on Sunday afternoon, Melissa Toler wandered among the sculptures, paintings and prints, but trained her camera on a wall. Panes of glass were covered in burgundy, yellow and gray paint — peeling, faded, textured. A piece created by 100 years of history. Toler, 72, had arrived Sunday for an art exhibition at the old Ford Motor Assembly Plant in Arabi unsure of what to expect. Her friend, Sally Heller, was one of more than 80 artists in the show, called the Creative Industries Assembly. “What a cool setup,” Toler said, noting that she’s a part of a Facebook group called the Peeling Paint Appreciation Society. She turned, gesturing across the second story of the hulking industrial plant. “I didn’t even know this was here.” The well-worn, long-dormant assembly plant along the Mississippi River, steps from the Domino Sugar Reﬁnery and miles from New Orleans’ traditional art corridors, has become an unlikely hub of contem-

The New Orleans band The Soul Rebels are set to perform before the Saints take on the Steelers in Paris on Sunday.

To land the Paris gig, the Soul Rebels tapped into a preexisting relationship with the NFL. The band performed at several events leading up to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans in February 2025, including the televised portion of Media Day from the ﬂoor of the Caesars Superdome and the pre-game festivities. Soon after the international game was announced, the band’s manager, Adam Shipley, reached out to his NFL contacts to see if there were any opportunities for the Soul Rebels to participate. His pitch? “We want to, and need to, be part of this.” Early on Friday afternoon, the band is scheduled to play two sets at Champ de Mars NFL Experience Paris at Place JacquesRueff near the Eiffel Tower. Later in the afternoon, they’ll do three sets at an invitation-only Saints cocktail party. Saturday’s schedule includes morning and lunchtime sets at “Saints House,” a Black & Gold Nation-themed experience at Pavillon Vendôme. They’ll then head to the “NFL House” at Pavillon Cambon Capucines for three more sets in the afternoon. On game day, the musicians will be picked up at 7 a.m. Paris time to be driven to Stade de France. Afterward, the Rebels plan to take a train to England for two shows at the new Blue Note London on Monday. They will be the band’s ﬁrst full concerts on European soil since 2018.

CREATIVE INDUSTRIES ASSEMBLY’S FALL EXHIBITION Ford Motors Assembly Plant, 7200 N. Peters St.,Arabi l Noon-4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, through January

First a venue for Prospect, the periodic international art event, it’s now hosting sprawling exhibitions of local artists. “It has the potential to be a very important, art-driven facility that brings challenging work to the South,” said Jeanne Nathan, of the Creative Alliance of New Orleans, one force behind the shows. But the same things that give the decaying concrete, steel and brick building its patina also make it tricky to exhibit art, especially the delicate kind. This fall’s exhibition builds on another that opened in April but shuttered in June, because of the lack of air conditioning. One artist who showed up to hang her quilts during a rainstorm in early October decided not to do so after noting the broken windows and leaking ceilings.

Raelle Hodges speaks during the Creative Industries Assembly’s Fall Exhibition at the old Ford Motor Assembly Plant. Built between 1922 and 1923, the 225,000-square-foot factory was once a key piece of Henry Ford’s plan to regionalize — and thus economize — the car assembly

A craving for an Old Fashioned during a hiking trip in Tennessee led Clifford Couvillon to create a Lafayette-based business that makes powdered cocktail and mocktail mixers designed to be enjoyed almost anywhere. Couvillon and his friend Matt Curtis were hiking Mount LeConte in the Smoky Mountains with a group of friends when they decided they

wanted a cocktail. The group improvised, combining powdered orange drink mix, whiskey and a bottle of Angostura bitters dating to the 1970s that they found at the mountain lodge to make an Old Fashioned. The drink inspired Couvillon and Curtis to consider whether they could turn the idea into a business. After months of development, they created their ﬁrst powdered cocktail mixer, the Old Fashioned, in

Continued from page 1D process, turning out a few hundred automobiles a day, according to the National Park Service. At its peak, about 1,000 people worked there. The plant shuttered in 1930, then reopened, then converted in 1933 to a sales branch, then in 1934 to a parts and distribution branch for cars assembled elsewhere. It had a stint in the ’40s and ’50s as a sales node, once more, historian Richard Campanella wrote in 2014. But then, largely, it sat vacant. Sidney Torres III and his partners bought it in 2019, touting its historic tax credits and 27 riverfront acres. “All the things that made it attractive to Henry Ford when he developed it 100 years ago still exist,” Torres said by phone. “The proximity to the city of New Orleans, the beautiful view of the Mississippi River…” Nathan and her husband, artist Robert Tannen — who 50 years ago co-founded the Contemporary Arts Center — got to talking to Torres at a coffee shop. Torres said he’s been an art collector “for all my life,” and Nathan convinced him to host a piece of Prospect

at the plant. Once it wrapped, she asked him: “Oh, can I borrow this space for a while?” He said yes, and “I just jumped in.” Visitors have responded not just to the art but to the space itself, Nathan said. “So the art and the space coupled is the story,” she said. For this year’s shows, Nathan enlisted other curators, including Cheryl Sutton, who enlisted other artists. “We are a mini collective within the collective,” Sutton said. Together, that collective formed Lasting Legacies, a range of photography and ﬁlm, sculpture and installation that honor New Orleans traditions, including secondlines and Black Masking Indians. The huge space “allowed us to be expansive in our thinking,” Sutton said. But some of her collective’s most moving moments take place in tight spaces. In a room so small it could be called a closet, Edward Buckles, a ﬁlmmaker known as E. Buckles, loops footage and photographs spanning decades, from his camera and the cameras of elders. (“Safe Space,” wasn’t on view for the exhibition’s opening but will be reinstalled ahead of the show’s second weekend.) In another closet-like space, wooden shelves hold

September 2016. Nearly a decade later, Leisuremann’s Cocktail Mixes has expanded to 21 ﬂavors available in single-serve packets, jars and bulk packaging. The lineup includes classics such as margaritas, mojitos, cosmopolitans, bloody marys, piña coladas and Hurricanes, along with more unusual creations. The company’s formula is simple: water, mix and spirit. Couvillon said what sets Leisuremann’s apart is the ability to enjoy classic cocktails in places where carrying individual ingredients would be inconvenient, from airplanes and camping trips to tailgates, backyard gatherings and virtual happy hours. “The convenience isn’t the fact that it’s an easy-to-mix product, it’s that you can enjoy our mixers anywhere,” Couvillon said. “Our model is you can create a consistent cocktail without the guesswork.” Couvillon moved to Lafayette in 2005 to attend the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. When Hurricane Katrina devastated his hometown, he made Lafayette his home. His experiences with the storm also influenced the business. Couvillon created the Hurricane mixer as a nod to New Orleans and a way to support disaster-relief efforts. Proceeds from every purchase of the Hurricane mixer go to organizations such as the Cajun Navy, he said. “We like giving money to the boots on the ground whenever we can,” he said. Rather than using arti-

jar after jar. Each is filled with soil, labeled with the name of a plantation. Between two of the large glass jars from the site of the LeBeau Plantation is another sign: “You are Here.” Interdisciplinary artist Shana M. Grifﬁn had been considering “Soil” for the show partly because of the old assembly plant’s complexities, including its lack of climate control. Then she weighed the fact that the Ford plant sits on what was once a sugar cane plantation, not far from the current Domino factory, still an economic force. “Most importantly, ‘Soil’ becomes a protest against forgetting,” she said. Seeing all the artists’ work inside the Ford plant last spring, “I was very moved by the sheer scale of the work by artists and the different types of work and mediums,” said Grifﬁn, an artist-in-residence with the Joan Mitchell Center. The space reminded her of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, better known as MASS MoCA, a museum within the converted Arnold Print Works factory building complex. “The rawness of the space,” she said, was similar.

Today is Friday, Oct. 23, the 296th day of 2026. There are 69 days left in the year. Today in history: On Oct. 23, 1983, 241 U.S. service members, most of them Marines, were killed in a suicide truck-bombing at the U.S. Marine Corps barracks at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon, while a near-simultaneous attack on French barracks in Beirut killed 58 paratroopers. Also on this date: In 1915, an estimated 25,000 women marched on Fifth Avenue in New York City in support of women’s suffrage. In 1942, during World War II, Britain launched a major offensive against Axis forces at El Alamein in Egypt, resulting in an Allied forces victory. In 1944, the Battle of Leyte Gulf began; the largest naval battle of World War II resulted in a major Allied victory against Japanese forces, paving the way for the retaking of

the Philippines. In 1956, a studentsparked revolt against Hungary’s Communist rule began; as the revolution spread, Soviet forces entered the country, ending the uprising on Nov. 4. In 1987, the U.S. Senate rejected the Supreme Court nomination of Robert H. Bork, 58-42. In 1995, a Houston jury convicted Yolanda Saldivar of murdering Tejano singing star Selena; Saldivar was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole and remains in prison. In 2001, Apple released the iPod. An estimated 450 million iPod devices were sold before the line was discontinued in 2022. In 2004, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake rocked central Japan, killing at least 68 people and injuring thousands amid massive power outages, scattered ﬁres and damage to buildings, bridges and highways. In 2011, Libya’s transitional council declared the North African country ofﬁcially “liberated” from

the four-decade dictatorship of Moammar Gadhafi, days after the ousted leader died at the hands of opposition fighters in his hometown of Sirte. In 2020, the rival factions in Libya’s civil war signed a permanent ceasefire after years of fighting that had split the North African country in two. While the truce ended large-scale warfare, the country remained divided between east and west. Today’s birthdays: Film director Philip Kaufman is 90. Advocate and humanitarian Graça Machel is 81.

Over the course of more than 30 years, the Soul Rebels have traveled far and wide with their contemporary brand of brass band music, one that incorporates hip-hop, funk, soul, rock and more. Versatility and adaptability are the band’s hallmarks. The Soul Rebels have shared stages with the likes of Metallica and Green Day and backed Katy Perry, Wu-Tang Clan and Nas, among others, at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. On March 15, 2025, Ed Sheeran enlisted the Soul Rebels to accompany him on a surprise mini-parade

Jackson Square on Decatur Street with the Soul Rebels backing Sheeran as he sang his previously unheard single “Azizam.” The Soul Rebels then accompanied Sheeran as he walked downriver on Decatur and turned on Dumaine while pulling a small amplifier on wheels and singing “I Don’t Care,” “Don’t,” another take on “Azizam” and a final “Shape of You.” The France trip will be the first overseas Soul Rebels gig for the band’s newest members, saxophonist Douane Waples and trumpeter Alijah Jett. As part of the deal, all eight bandmembers received “official” Saints jerseys customized with their names. They’ll wear them

es, but not for the game itself. At the game, they are required to wear “neutral” clothes that don’t favor either the Saints or the Steelers. They’ll likely don their standard all-black attire. Shipley is confident the protests in France won’t affect the program of activities related to the game. “We’re going to shepherded (around Paris) by the NFL and the Saints,” he said. “I know we’ll be ﬁne.” Email Keith Spera at kspera@theadvocate.com.

of me saying I’m going to try and make a mix,” he said. That research helps him establish a baseline for how a classic cocktail should taste before he begins experimenting with ingredients and proportions. “My mojito took at least four years to develop because I wanted to achieve the mint flavor I tasted,” Couvillon said. Leisuremann’s also offers mocktail mixers in 12 flavors inspired by classic cocktails, including margarita, Old Fashioned, cosmopolitan, bloody mary and mai tai. Single-serve packets cost $3. Small jars cost $12.95, while larger jars cost $15.95. Bulk bags are also available for larger gatherings and businesses that need to prepare cocktails in quantity. A single-serve packet makes one drink, while jars generally produce eight to 10 servings, with larger jars yielding about 12 to 16, depending on the flavor. Each package includes recommended water measurements and suggestions for pairing the mix with spirits. Couvillon recommends dissolving the powder in the specified amount of water before adding alcohol. Room-temperature water can help the mix dissolve more effectively than very cold water, he said. For customers in Lafayette, Leisuremann’s products are available online with free delivery throughout the area or at Pink Paisley, 101 Arnould Blvd. in Lafayette. For online orders, information about the mixes and flavor profiles, visit leisuremanns.com.

ficial coloring to give the Hurricane mixer a deep red appearance, Leisuremann’s uses hibiscus powder, which gives the mix its pink hue. The company also avoids artificial flavors, colors, preservatives and anti-clumping agents. Other flavors reflect Couvillon’s personal interests and experiences. Turkey Gravy, for example, was inspired by wassail, a traditional spiced holiday beverage. “I wanted something that had this kind of like holiday reference to it but was also an eye-catching game changer,” he said. Por Mi Amante, a tequila cocktail featuring strawberry, citrus and spice, was developed for his wife, who enjoys the drink. Developing the flavors requires research and experimentation. Couvillon visits bars and restaurants around Lafayette and surrounding communities to taste different versions of a cocktail before beginning work on a mix. He records flavor profiles in spreadsheets and journals, noting differences in citrus, sweetness and other characteristics.

Bridge By PHILLIP ALDER MarkTwainwrote,“Hismoneyistwice tainted: ‘taint yours and ‘taint mine.” ‘Taint that just the case! It is great to get twice the money for one piece of work. At the bridge table, as we saw yesterday, that is sometimes possible in the bidding. I pointed out that a jump-shift response by a passed hand is fit-showing: length in that suit and partner’s suit. That was in an uncontested auction. When the opponents sail in, I like to use fit-jumps even by an unpassed hand. I jump as high as I am willing to drive the auction. In this deal, after South opens one diamond and West overcalls one heart, North jumps to two spades, showing a limited hand with five spades and fourplus diamonds. (With a stronger hand, North could jump to three spades.) The auction then proceeds to five diamonds by South. West leads the heart ace and shifts to his trump. East wins and plays a club. How should South continue after guessing well to win with his club ace? Declarer needs three dummy entries: one to take the spade finesse, one to ruff out East’s spade king, and one to reach the established spade winners. Those entries are a heart ruff, the diamond queen and the diamond six — did you see the necessity for South not to play

his diamond five at trick two? Then you can bring home the contract with four spades, five diamonds, one club and the heart ruff. Note that if North initially responds one spade, East would jump to four hearts and leave both North and South wondering what to do. © 2026 by nEa, inc., dist. By andrews mcmeel syndication

Prior to executing this Agreement, CFR must provide a sworn statement attesting to its compliance with the City's hiring requirements or stating why deviation from the hiring requirement is necessary.

1. Liability. The obligations for CFR to procure and maintain, or cause to be procured and maintained, insurance shall not be construed to waive nor restrict other obligations. It is understood that failure to comply nor full compliance with the foregoing insurance requirements shall limit or relieve CFR from any liability incurred as a result of their activities/operations in conjunction with CFR’s obligations and/or scope of work. CFR shall be responsible for any losses, expenses, damages, claims and/or suits and cost of any kind which exceed CFR’s limits of liability that arise from the performance of work under the Agreement.

2. Failure to maintain compliance with the City's hiring requirements through the term of the Agreement, or to provide sufficient written reasons for deviation, is a material breach of this Agreement. Upon learning of any such breach, the City will provide CFR notice of noncompliance and allow CFR thirty (30) days to come into compliance. If, after providing notice and thirty (30) days to cure, CFR remains noncompliant, the City may move to suspend payments to CFR, void the Agreement, or take any such legal action permitted by law or this Agreement.

2. Additional Insured Status.

3. This section will not apply to any agreements excluded from the City's hiring requirements by City Code Sections 2-8(d) or (g). Should a court of competent jurisdiction find any part of this section to be unenforceable, the section should be reformed, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law, or if reformation is not possible, the section should be fully severable and remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. 4. CFR will incorporate the terms and conditions of this Article into all subcontracts, by reference or otherwise, and will require all subcontractors to comply with those provisions.

3. CFR shall require and verify, or cause to be required and verified, that all subcontractors maintain insurance and coverage limits meeting all the requirements stated herein or the sub-contractor liability shall be covered by CFR.

CFR’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the City, its departments, political subdivisions, officers, officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City shall be non-contributing to the CFRs coverage. At no time shall the CFR allow any sub-contractor to perform work without the required types and limits of required insurance coverage. The carriers/companies issuing the policies of insurance shall not have any recourse against the City for payment of any premiums, deductibles, and retentions or for assessments under any form of policy. These shall be borne by and be the sole responsibility of CFR. 5. Claims Made Policies. If applicable, the retroactive date must be shown and must be before the date of the Agreement or the beginning of work. If the coverage is canceled or nonrenewed, and not replaced with another claims-made policy, CFR must purchase, or cause to be purchased, “extended reporting” coverage for a minimum of three (3) years after the termination of this Agreement. 6. Waiver of Subrogation. CFR and its insurers agree to waive any right of subrogation which any insurer may acquire against the City by virtue of the payment of any loss under insurance required by this Agreement. 7.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION REALTY, INC. BY:

CHRIS J. MEYER, PRESIDENT

HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire/life-safety systems, elevators, and building automation systems acquired or installed as part of construction or improvement of the Project.

Fixed specialized/testing infrastructure

Permanently installed lab, industrial power, carbon-management, maritime-technology, and similar testing infrastructure acquired, constructed, or installed as part of the Project.

Architectural and engineering fees

Design, structural, MEP, and civil engineering fees directly or otherwise properly allocable to construction of the Project.

Construction management and general conditions

Owner's representative, construction manager, general contractor, and other construction-related costs properly capitalized under applicable Federal income tax capitalization principles, including Sections 263(a) and 263A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

A. Purpose and Governing Definitions. This Exhibit C implements and defines the term “capital expenditure” as used in the Agreement, for purposes of restricting the use of City Funding to costs eligible for financing with bond proceeds. Except as otherwise defined below, capitalized terms have the meanings given in the Agreement.

Permitting and regulatory approval costs

Building permits, inspection fees, impact fees, and similar governmental charges to the extent properly allocable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of the Project.

1. “Capital Expenditure” means any cost that is properly chargeable to a capital account, under general Federal income tax principles, including Section 263(a) and, as applicable, Section 263A of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including the tangible property regulations at Treas. Reg. §§ 1.263(a)-1 through 1.263(a)-3 and applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 263A, and, to the extent the City Funding derives from proceeds of tax-exempt or tax-advantaged bonds, within the meaning of “capital expenditure” under Treas. Reg. § 1.150-1(b). In the event of any conflict between this Exhibit and the governing bond documents or opinion of the City's bond counsel, the bond documents and bond counsel's opinion shall control, and CFR shall conform its expenditures of City Funding accordingly upon written notice from the City. For the avoidance of doubt, classification as a Capital Expenditure under this Exhibit does not, standing alone, establish that an expenditure may be financed with proceeds of a particular bond issue.

Capitalized interest during construction

Interest costs capitalized under applicable Federal income tax principles, including Section 263A(f) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and permitted to be financed with the applicable bond proceeds under the governing bond documents and applicable Federal tax requirements.

Betterments, restorations, and adaptations to existing structures

Costs required to be capitalized because they constitute a betterment, restoration, or adaptation of existing tangible property under Treas. Reg. § 1.263(a)-3, applied to any existing NSA-site structures incorporated into the Project.
