Tony’s Take FROM NADA TO NIL TO NFL
It’s been less than six years since the actions taken 12 years ago by a group of University of Wisconsin athletes to receive some sort of practical compensation for the hours they put in for their schools. Before then, only scholarships, room and board were provided legally, although there were many a player working a cush job that paid enough for them to look at least middle class. Not to mention those hundreds of flashy cars that found their way parked in front of the athletic dorms.
When the courts decided that college players deserved to be compensated for their schools blatantly using their names, likenesses and images to promote commercial products, the door squeezed open and players started picking up local paid gigs from car dealers, restaurants, clothing stores, jewelry outlets and the like. Then came the push that players shouldn’t have to sign with a school before they saw some cash thrown their way. My naive thoughts that the average jock could have a 30to 50 thousand dollar seasonal payday lasted about….oh, maybe six months. Then the agents started smelling blood and the four and five stars were approached about the same time that NIL co-ops and fledgling share the money packages were being created for the entire college scene.
When the wife of the fifth wealthiest man in the world threatened to cut him off unless he bought her a previously committed high school quarterback to lead her Michigan Wolverines, the floodgates opened…just in time to meld with the transfer portal. The resultant movement of college players from one school to another now numbers over a thousand and if you can recite your school’s starting lineups without reading the Wall Street Journal, well, you’re not as much a sports fan as you are one who follows investments.
Now to the present. (Wait, there’s MORE!!??) Oh, yeah. The new agency vetting these NIL deals reached an agreement last week that relaxes standards on player agreements with third-party collectives and avoids taking this controversial position back to court. The College Sports Commission said it will now consider a third party company that seeks to pay a player to have a “valid business purpose” if the deal “is related to the promotion or endorsement of goods and services provided to the general public for profit.” Hello, ad agencies and direct payment to the players as commercial spokespersons for everything from Amazon and Apple to X.
To cut to the chase: CSC Commissioner Bryan Seeley stated that the main point of the settlement was to make sure “pay for play” payments, long forbidden by the NCAA, weren’t being made to players.”
Basically, it means this: any deal under $600 (are you kidding me?) is exempt from any oversight and if you are a starter or key player on a team from one of more than 100 colleges in the U.S., you’d really have to be stupid not to find a sugar daddy, directly or indirectly, that couldn’t make sure your college playing days didn’t nearly have you set up for life (with any ability at all to invest and/or save). You can’t afford a ticket to the NFL? Well, now the NFL has come to you. But don’t expect any low end ticket prices. Any marquee college game ticket for anything better than nosebleed will begin at $100 and go up to scalper prices. Sit home, people, and watch for free (while you can) major college sports competition but don’t make there mistake that you’re watching amateur sports any more. That train left for the Coast a long time ago.

Words to GREAUX by
AUGUST IS A TIME TO CLEAN UP AND MANAGE SPRING-PLANTED COLOR.
The July heat has been horrendous, and you can tell when observing the summer landscape. Some in the region have been getting decent rain while others still go through dry spells. A lot of the warm-season annuals planted earlier in April and May are now looking tired and exhausted. It’s time to take note of what selections did well and what did not. Some of those tired looking plants can be revitalized with a little pruning and a dose of fertilizer. With a little work, you can help turn things around and start preparations for the next growing season.
Some of the bedding plants used to provide attractive color in the landscape are true annuals meaning that they perform their entire lifecycle in one growing season, or one year. We also grow a lot of exotic bedding plants that originated on different continents and different climatic zones for use in this same manor. Some of those exotics are perennial in their native environment, but we treat them like annuals in our environment. We refer to those plants as “tender perennials” and you may be familiar with some such as angelonia, ‘Blue Daze’, ‘Homestead Purple’ verbena, lantana, Mexican heather, and pentas.
Tender perennials may look tired at the moment but with some general maintenance you can improve their appearance so that they can finish out the season with pride. With a sharp pair of pruners, aim to reduce the plant by up to half its current height. Follow up with an application of a general fertilizer product and water it in.
While you’re out doing work in the bed, go ahead and address any weed issues. Hand-pulling is the quickest way to remove weeds, but there are some selective herbicides that can be sprayed overthe-top of a lot of landscape plants. Sethoxydim (Fertilome Over-The-Top, Bonide Grass Beater, and Segment II) controls grasses growing within broadleaved plant communities. Fluazifop (Fusilade II) also controls grassy weeds growing amongst broadleaved plants. These herbicide products take up to 3 weeks for results so plan accordingly.
Once the emerged weeds have been dealt with you might think about putting down another application of pre-emergent herbicide to help prevent new weeds from germinating into small plants. Couple this process with maintaining a mulch layer to cover the soil. Not only will pre-emergent herbicide help to prevent weeds, but the mulch layer will help as well. Mulch also prevents the soil from losing water to evaporation, which can be very helpful to drought stressed planting beds. For more information on improving the appearance of spring-planted color reach out to your local Parish/County Extension Agent.

Wow! Here we are, already in August! This year is truly flying by. I am ready for some cooler temperatures and a break from the high electric bills. I am thinking of Fall. Cooler temperatures, falling leaves, hay bundles with potted mums on top, scarecrows beside them, and the smell of pumpkin pies and cinnamon. With just the slightest chill in the air. Something to look forward to. So. I am painting Fall pieces to help me feel cooler.
By Paula Johnson
This piece is an original design from the Teamworks Group I am a part of. I love the designs this artist comes up with. They are so playful and happy! She encourages you to add or take out any part of the design you would like to. I usually like to paint the original design and then change the design by adding or changing an element (animal, flower, etc.) to make it. There are 3 different colors of orange and two greens. The shading colors for the pumpkins are Burnt Orange and Burnt Umber. The leaves are Foliage Green, Spiced Pumpkin, and Burnt Orange. I really like the way they turned out. The smaller leaves on the bottom are Avocado and Foliage Green. I decided to add the round balls to accent the hanger for this piece to bring out more color to the top of the piece. Hope you like it.
Well, that’s my craft for this time. What will your next project be? Mine......Working on more Fall!!!
Sincerely Paula Johnson

WASPS
Summer months in Mississippi bring many insects and pests. Some of the most problematic insects are our various wasp species.
Types of paper wasps in Mississippi: Guinea wasps (Polistes exclamans): These wasps are small brown and yellow paper wasps. They are often mistaken for yellow jackets; unlike guinea wasps, yellow jackets make their nests in the ground.
Carolina paper wasps (Polistes carolina): Carolina pa-per wasps are large with black wings and orange in color. These are more aggressive than most other wasps.
Red wasps (Polistes metricus and Polistes annularis): Red wasps have black wings with dark red thoraxes and darker red, almost black colored abdomens. These paper wasps tend to have larger nests than Guinea wasps.
These insects build nests in empty areas and hidden spaces. When outdoors, you should always check areas such as doorways, fences and gates, under eaves, storage sheds, chairs and other outdoor furniture, and cooking grills.
Wasps can be problematic around the home, but they also have their benefits. They pollinate native plants and flowers. Wasps are also predators of pest insects such as caterpillars and spiders.
Did you know Mississippi is home to wingless wasps? This species commonly known as the “cow ant” or “cow killer ant” is actually not an ant at all; they are wasps. These Eastern velvet ants are large and are red and black in color. The female wasps do not have wings, but the males have wings and can fly. These wasps are known to have extremely painful stings, but thankfully they are usually not aggressive.

MUSCADINES
Muscadine grapes are native to the southeastern United States and are well adapted to Mississippi’s warm, humid climate. They grow best in full sun and prefer fertile, well-drained sandy loam soils with good water retention. Before planting, it’s important to conduct a soil test and adjust the pH to around 6.5, often by incorporating dolomitic limestone. Avoid planting in are-as prone to poor drainage or hardpans, and choose elevated sites with good air movement to help reduce disease pressure and the risk of late spring frost damage.
Dormant vines, whether bare-root or container-grown, are best planted between November and February. After planting, firm the soil around the roots and water thoroughly. Prune the newly planted vine to a single stem with two to four buds, which helps develop a strong trunk.
Training the vine begins by tying one healthy shoot to a stake and guiding it upward to a horizontal trellis wire, typically placed about 5.5 feet above the ground. Once the shoot reaches the wire, pinch back the tip to en-courage branching. Two lateral shoots are selected to grow along the wire, forming the permanent cordons. In the first winter after establishing the cor-dons, lateral shoots along the cordons should be pruned to form spurs spaced every 6 inches, leaving two to four buds per spur for fruit production.
Annual pruning is crucial to maintain vine productivity. During the dormant season, typically December through February, remove the previous year’s growth by cutting back to short spurs, while eliminating excess shoots and crowded areas along the cordons. This allows for good air circulation and strong new growth that will produce fruit.
Fertilizer should be applied carefully. In the first year, use about 3 ounces of 10-10-10 fertilizer per vine in a small circle around the plant, keep-ing it at least 6 inches from the base. Repeat this every six weeks until mid-summer.
In the second year, double the amount and widen the application ar-ea. By the third year, mature vines should receive about 2 pounds of 8-8-8 fer-tilizer in March and another pound in May. Fully established vines may require 3 to 5 pounds of 8-8-8 in ear-ly spring, followed by a light nitrogen application after fruit set. A soil test will help determine if magnesium is needed, often supplied by dolomitic lime.
While muscadines are relatively drought-tolerant once established, supplemental irrigation is important during dry periods, especially during bloom and early fruit development. In dry weather, vines benefit from 8 to 16 gallons of water per plant two to three times a week. A drip irrigation system is a good investment, especially during establishment, as it helps maintain consistent moisture levels.
Like any fruit crop, muscadines can be affected by pests and diseases. Common problems include black rot, powdery mildew, angular leaf spot, grape rootworms, Japanese beetles, thrips, and leafminers. Angular leaf spot is particularly problematic in wet, warm springs and can lead to fruit loss. Good cultural practices, such as annual pruning, proper spacing, and removing diseased material, go a long way toward reducing pest and disease pressure.
Harvest typically begins in late August and can run through October, depending on the variety and location. Unlike bunch grapes, muscadines are harvested as individual berries when fully ripe. For large plantings, mechanical harvesters may be used, but hand harvesting is common for small-scale growers. Fruit should be picked in the morning and cooled as soon as possible to preserve quality. Full production typically begins in the third to fifth year, with yields of 3 to 4 tons per acre for fresh-market cultivars and 8 to 10 tons per acre for processing varieties.

CITRUS LEAFMINERS
I’m often asked about leaves curling up on citrus trees, and most often, this is caused by leafminers. Citrus leafminers are a relatively new pest of citrus trees, which are often grown as landscape trees in the southern portion of the state. Originating in Asia, the citrus leafminer was first discovered in Florida in 1993. These small moths rapidly became a significant pest, with infestation rates of up to 90% in some areas in Florida being observed within the year of introduction. By 1995, the citrus leafminer was discovered in Texas, Central America, western Mexico, Caribbean islands and by 2000, it arrived in southern California.
Citrus leafminers are the larvae of small moths. They cause long, winding mines or trails in the leaves of many types of citrus trees. Because this insect is newly introduced, it has few natural enemies, and infestations are often heavy. Leafminers are one-fourth inch long or less. The term leafminer describes any insect that completes at least a portion of its life by living and feeding inside plant leaves.
Damage is caused by the larvae. In most cases, the larvae feed on the leaf tissue between the upper and lower epidermis of the leaf. It destroys leaf tissue by mining in the leaf, reducing leaf area and interfering with nutrient translocation. Extremely heavy infestations can result in enough loss of leaf area to adversely affect plant vigor and health. Fortunately, this is not common, and most leafminer infestations do not seriously affect plant health and may not require treatment. However, even light leafminer infestations can cause plants to be unsightly, and damage may persist. This aesthetic injury is the primary damage leafminers cause.

Because the larvae live in a protected location inside the leaves, leafminers can be difficult to control. Systemic insecticides work best to control leafminers. Products containing the active ingredient Spinosad are especially useful against citrus leafminers, as well as other larval-type insects. Some formulations of Spinosad are specifically labeled for use on home-grown citrus and approved for organic use. Insecticide products containing Acephate or Imidacloprid are normally most effective on leafminers in the landscape and more specifically on boxwoods, hollies, and azaleas, although many Spinosad products carry this label as well. Because citrus trees are grown both as landscape plants and food crops, it is important to be sure any insecticides are specifically labeled for that use. Please read and follow all label directions.
FIND YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND IN NEW ORLEANS DURING NATIONAL ADOPTION WEEK
If you’ve been thinking about adding a furry friend to your family, now is the perfect time to welcome one into your home. From Friday, July 25 through Sunday, July 27, the Louisiana SPCA is partnering with PetSmart Charities and Bryan Subaru for National Adoption Week.
We’re bringing some of our most lovable cats and dogs from both our Orleans and Plaquemines Campuses to two local PetSmart locations: the Manhattan PetSmart in Harvey and the S. Claiborne PetSmart in New Orleans. Each adoption will include one month of MetLife Pet Insurance and access to discounted virtual training through GoodPup to help support the long-term health and success of your new pet.
However, this event is more than just adoption. It’s about changing the life of an animal who has been patiently waiting for a second chance. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a gentle senior pet, you might be surprised by who captures your heart. Every animal that adopts you will be vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered before going home.
We understand that adopting a shelter pet can sometimes feel like a big decision, especially when myths about their health, behavior, or background create uncertainty. It’s natural to have questions or hesitation, but unfortunately, those misconceptions often prevent amazing animals from finding homes. The truth is, every pet in our care receives a full medical evaluation, ongoing veterinary care, and lots of love and attention from our dedicated staff and volunteers. We take the time to get to know each animal as an individual, not just a number. When you adopt from us, you’ll be fully informed about their personality, needs, and history. Our goal is to make sure you feel supported and confident in your decision, and that every animal finds the loving home they’ve been waiting for.
Additionally, older animals are often calm, loyal, and settle into new homes easily. Larger dogs and less popular breeds can be just as loving and fun as any other pet. And adopting an animal who is healing from illness, injury, or past abuse can be incredibly rewarding. These pets are strong, resilient, and grateful for a second chance. No matter their story, each one has the potential to become a loving and devoted companion.
If you are in New Orleans, Harvey, or anywhere in the Greater New Orleans area, come meet the animals waiting for you at PetSmart on S. Claiborne or PetSmart on Manhattan. You can visit www.louisianaspca.org/adopt/animals to preview some of the adoptable pets that will be there and learn more about National Adoption Week before you visit in person.

START is an all volunteer 501 C3 organization made up of members who rescue, foster and care for homeless cats and dogs. Our rescues are fostered in the homes of our volunteers until they are ready to be adopted. We are always in need of foster homes, especially for dogs. We greatly appreciate donations of dog and cat food, as well as funds to spay/neuter and provide veterinary care for the rescued pets. We can be contacted by email. Our address is startcares@hotmail.com. We are also on Facebook. Please contact us if you would like to make a donation to START, or to work together with us to help the abandoned pets in our community.
Razzy, King and Petey are three kittens available for adoption through START. All three were rescued from situations that were unsafe for little kittens, such as from under a car or out on the street, and placed in foster homes where they were able to thrive. All are neutered, tested and vaccinated and ready to go to their forever homes. If you are thinking of adding a kitten to your family, be sure to contact START or your local shelter or rescue organization to find out how you can meet some of the many wonderful kitties available for adoption. There are so many cats and kittens in need of homes this time of year.
