BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Pioneering black mathematician Katherine Johnson has passed away HAMPTON, Va. (AP) — NASA says Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who worked on NASA’s early space missions and was portrayed in the film “Hidden Figures,” about pioneering black female aerospace workers, has died. In a Monday morning tweet, the space agency said it celebrates her 101 years of life and her legacy of excellence and breaking down racial and social barriers. Johnson was one of the socalled “computers” who cal-

culated rocket trajectories and earth orbits by hand during NASA’s early years. Until 1958, Johnson and other black women worked in a racially segregated computing unit at what is now called Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. Their work was the focus of the Oscar-nominated 2016 film. In 1961, Johnson worked on the first mission to carry an American into space. In 1962, she verified computer calculations that plotted John Glenn’s

earth orbits. At age 97, Johnson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. Johnson focused on airplanes and other research at first. But her work at NASA’s Langley Research Center eventually shifted to Project Mercury, the nation’s first human space program. “Our office computed all the (rocket) trajectories,” Johnson told The Virginian-Pilot newspaper in 2012. “You tell me

when and where you want it to come down, and I will tell you where and when and how to launch it.” In 1961, Johnson did trajectory analysis for Alan Shepard’s Freedom 7 Mission, the first to carry an American into space. The next year, she manually verified the calculations of a nascent NASA computer, an IBM 7090, which plotted John Glenn’s orbits around the planet.

Second Front EDUCATION

Louisiana education department pushes census participation BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana’s education department has posted online information aimed at promoting participation in in this year’s U.S. Census in classrooms and at home. The 2020 Census Toolbox site includes general information about the

counting process, flyers, statistics, videos — and learning activities by grade level that teachers can use to talk about the importance of the census. “We are proud to partner with the U.S. Census Bureau to ensure every child counts in Louisi-

ana,” Superintendent of Education John White said in a statement. Census data determines how many members of Congress a state has and is used to divvy up significant sums of federal dollars that flow to states, among other things. The numbers

could be critical to Louisiana’s continued receipt of billions of dollars in federal money spent on health care, education, social services and other programs. “The results affect various aspects of education, from offering affordable, healthy school

lunch options to providing high-quality early care and education to supporting historically disadvantaged students and their families,” White said. The once-a-decade count of the U.S. population started in January in Alaska. The rest of

the nation will take part starting in the spring. The education department said 68% of Louisiana households returned their census questionnaires in 2000. The state’s rate fell to 65% in 2020.

with the COVID-19 coronavirus spreading into new countries, we still could see the current uptick slow with more countries potentially locking down travel,” said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. The national average price of gasoline has risen 2.4 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.47/g today. The national average is down 6.4 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 7.3 cents per gallon higher than a year ago. “Over the last decade, the national average typically

begins its seasonal rise on February 9, lasting until May 2, during which the average rise is 54 cents per gallon. This year could look much different based on myriad unknowns that continue to fog the situation. It’s nearly guaranteed that prices will be higher by April and May, but beyond that, the timing remains completely unknown, as does how the coronavirus will threaten overall gasoline demand,” said DeHaan. GasBuddy is the authoritative voice for gas prices and the source for station-level data spanning nearly two decades. GasBuddy’s survey updates 288 times every day from the most diverse list of sources covering nearly 150,000 stations nationwide.

White House readying emergency coronavirus budget request WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is readying an urgent budget request to address the deadly coronavirus outbreak whose rapid spread is spooking financial markets and restricting international travel. The request is still being developed but is likely to come this week, a senior administration official confirmed Monday. The Department of Health and Human Services has already tapped into an emergency infectious disease rapid response fund and is seeking to transfer more than $130 million from other HHS accounts to combat the virus but is pressing for more. Among the needs is funding to reimburse the Pentagon, which is housing evacuees from China — who are required to undergo 14-day quarantines — at several military bases in California. Democrats controlling the House wrote HHS Secretary Alex Azar earlier this month to request funds to help speed development of a coronavirus vaccine, expand lab-

oratory capacity, and beef up screening efforts at U.S. entry points. Azar is slated to testify before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday, and the U.S. response to the outbreak is sure to be a major topic. The White House budget office, led by Russell Vought, a stout conservative, is working with HHS to shape the request, with the agency seeking more than the White House is likely to approve. There is a receptive audience for the request on Capitol Hill, though stand-alone emergency spending bills can be tricky to pass since they are invariably a target for lawmakers seeking add-ons. The quickly spreading virus has slammed the economy of China, where the virus originated, and caseloads are rapidly increasing in countries such as South Korea, Iran, and Italy. The official required anonymity because the request is not public.

LOUISIANA SPOTLIGHT

New alliance emerges between House, Senate Beyond the dozens of new faces shaking up the Louisiana Legislature, an unusual spirit of collaboration between the new House speaker and Senate president could rework lawmaking dynamics across the entire four-year term of state government. Leaders of the two legislative chambers haven’t necessarily worked together on the crafting of bills over the years — and while many House speakers and Senate presidents have given lip service to the idea of partnership, their practices have been much different. More often than not, friction has existed between the House and Senate. Those frayed relations intensified over the last four years, as Republican House leaders including then-Speaker Taylor Barras frequently sparred with Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards over financial issues while GOP Senate President John Alario became Edwards’ closest legislative ally. But term limits forced the exits of Barras and Alario in January — and their Republican replacements, House Speaker Clay Schexnayder and Senate President Page Cortez, seem to be forming a tighter bond in their new leadership roles. Cortez and Schexnayder regularly talk of cooperation with each other, and they’ve taken similar positions on some of their first key financial positions and talking points.

“Clay and I have a similar appreciation for teamwork and for working together,” said Cortez of Lafayette, sitting next to the House speaker at a recent talk at the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry annual meeting. In that discussion, Schexnayder repeatedly followed C o r t e z ’s comments with statements such as, “I feel the same,” or “I agree.” T h a t could force Edwards to MELINDA DESLATTE rework his approach with lawmakers, if he’ll face a united front between the GOPled House and Senate, rather than divisions among the chambers. Edwards often worked out deals with Alario that helped kill House-passed bills the governor didn’t want to reach his desk, and the former Senate president also helped muscle through budgetary approaches Edwards preferred. Those days appear to be done. Already the changing dynamics have shown up in legislative financial decisions. Cortez sided with Schexnayder over the Edwards administration in refusing to adopt income projections the gover-

nor wanted — and economists recommended — to build next year’s budget. Schexnayder proposed a smaller forecast increase, and Cortez voted with the House speaker. No agreement has been reached. On Thursday, the legislative leaders again opposed the Edwards administration on a significant financial issue. Cortez and Schexnayder backed GOP state Treasurer John Schroder and other Republican officials in their decision to block one of the nation’s largest banks, Citigroup, from working on multimillion-dollar state borrowing deals. The financial giant has enacted firearm restriction policies for corporate customers that have drawn ire from Schroder and others. Despite the disagreements, the governor and both legislative leaders have repeatedly struck a compromising tone. All three have said they expect to eventually reach a deal, for example, on the income forecast. Edwards said he’s confident he can work with Cortez and Schexnayder and thinks they can find common ground on an array of issues. And at the meeting with the business leaders’ organization, Cortez and Schexnayder said they wanted to work with Edwards. “I think that’s the way we move the state forward,” said Schexnayder, of Gonzales. Cortez agreed: “If we work

together and we don’t work with the governor, then it’s going to be fatal, the state won’t move forward.” Still, the new Senate president cautioned that Edwards needs to acknowledge the strong GOP majorities he’ll be working with in each chamber. The Senate has a more than two-thirds Republican majority that can override an Edwards veto if GOP lawmakers vote together, while the House is two votes short of that mark. Perhaps most tellingly, the new House and Senate leaders stressed the independence of the Louisiana Legislature, which until recently, often functioned as an extension of the executive branch, rather than as a constitutionally separate body. Cortez said he wants to leave “behind as a legacy that the Legislature becomes a true third branch of government and it has its own positions.” And in the spirit of their collaborative approach, Schexnayder agreed: “I want to leave a stamp these four years that the House and the Senate was independent and that we worked together, all of us, House members, Senate members, both sides of the aisle.”

OTHER OPINION

How to bring Louisiana into the ‘roaring’ 2020s The Roaring 20’s were a time of unprecedented economic prosperity in America. A century has since passed. Can Louisiana and its oil and gas industry experience roaring economic prosperity once more? Let’s take a look. One hundred years later, our nation’s economy is booming. Unemployment is at record lows, the stock market is at record highs, and it seems that everywhere you look, President Trump’s business acumen has acted like a shot of adrenaline for America. Energy producers are no exception. Reforms of rules and regulations that had previously hindered industry growth have expanded offshore drilling, streamlined the pipeline permitting process, and made the United States an oil and gas powerhouse once again. Is that federal leadership enough to usher in a roaring 20’s decade for our state? Considering our natural blessings, we are well-positioned for prosperity. Louisiana’s trifecta of oil and gas assets are a case in point. First is Louisiana’s natural gas giant: The Haynesville Shale. Recently Louisiana’s northwest formation had the second-highest new-well gas production per

rig in the nation. Our abundant resources don’t stop there - we are also home to assets in the Gulf of Mexico and vast resources ready to be tapped in South Louisiana. Secondly, the Bayou State has a strong and expansive pipeline infrastructure. Pipelines are the safest, most secure way to transport product across vast distances. New York is now facing pricing, employment, and development woes GIFFORD simply beBRIGGS cause they do not have the pipeline capacity or willingness to move resources. Finally, our LNG export capacity is a strength unique to our state: instead of simply refining natural gas, we now liquefy and export it all over the globe. LSU’s Center for Energy Studies estimates that Louisiana’s LNG projects could total nearly $100 billion in capital investment, potentially ushering in 20,000 construction jobs and 1,500 full-time jobs at Louisiana terminals once com-

pleted. These three key assets have positioned Louisiana to play a defining role in the United States’ move toward permanent energy independence in the global market, but considering our current realities more must be done on a state level by Louisiana leadership to enable our oil and gas industry to succeed. South Louisiana energy activity continues to lag behind energy-producing regions all over the country. Our toxic legal environment and tax structure have crippled investment, taking Louisiana families away from the state in droves. It is time we bring them back. But how? We can learn from other oil and gas producing states. Our Lone Star neighbor has undertaken strategic, long term measures to fix its’ legal and regulatory framework, and they now boast a simpler tax environment. As a result, they have experienced steady investment both inside and outside of the oil and gas industry, and families all over the nation are becoming newly adopted Texans. Perhaps we are learning from our prospering neighbors and will experience that decade of strong Louisiana growth. In the

gall of 2019, Louisiana voters sent a strong message to the capitol that we want bold action for a better Louisiana. It’s time for change. This newly elected body of legislators has the momentum and vision necessary to tackle substantive reforms. They have the potential to put an end to the rampant lawsuit abuse that has put a moratorium on oil and gas investment and turned Louisiana communities into ghost towns. They have the potential to transform our tax structure, making it fairer, more competitive, and attractive to outside businesses. They have the potential to get Louisiana’s oil and gas industry roaring again. LOGA sees great opportunities arising and is optimistic about what is possible in the coming year. From the 4th floor to the House and Senate floors, we are looking forward to working with everyone to create the nation’s leading oil and gas industry and ushering in Louisiana’s very own roaring 2020s.

Gifford Briggs is president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association.

LIFE AROUND THE WORLD

Florida homeless group helps top chefs prep food festival MIAMI BEACH (AP) — From Rachael Ray to Bobby Flay, celebrity chefs are in town this weekend for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, where fine-palated foodies might not know that some of their dishes have been prepared at one of Florida’s largest homeless shelters. Some of the biggest names in the culinary world will be feeding more than 65,000 people at more than 100 events during the four-day festival through Sunday, and finding enough space and help to prep is tricky. So the festival partners with Miami Rescue Mission and Florida International University’s culinary school to help bring its cuisine to life. The Mission provides food, shelter, substance abuse treatment and educational programs for hundreds of homeless men and women. Their kitchen staff — many once homeless themselves — are used to the massive prep work needed to feed hundreds of people a day. In return for its

festival work, the Mission gets leftovers. The festival boasts more than 100 food events with the fanciest fare and libations, from cooking classes to intimate dinners. There’s a Saturday brunch with legendary French chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, a kick-back burger bash on Friday night hosted by Ray that includes juicy entries from burger joints around the country, and an all you can eat BBQ feast on Saturday night with Guy Fieri. Tickets for those big name events can cost up to $350. And tickets for the dozens of intimate dinners around town are even higher, including a tribute to chef Marcus Samuelsson hosted by Andrew Zimmern, which costs $500 per person and includes a menu curated by chefs including Michelle Bernstein and Daniel Boulud, along with a private dessert lounge with the judges from the TV show “Chopped.” On Thursday, four FIU students were busy picking mint

and other fresh herbs to add the pistachio salsa verde that would be drizzled over grilled lamb chops Giada De Laurentiis’ team would serve later that night. About 30 helpers from the Mission were cleaning the prep space, taking out the garbage and loading trucks to deliver the meal. The partnership is overseen by Back AlliCatering to ensure that the food would be delivered to the Ritz Carlton venue exactly the way De Laurentiis envisioned. At the event, FIU students in white chef coats and caps grilled and plated the lamb, which was one of the most buzzed about dishes of the night. Afterward, FIU students gathered the leftovers for the homeless, freezing what couldn’t be used immediately so that it will be available when Mission’s pantry runs low. There’s usually plenty to go around: In past years, they’ve collected everything from 100 pounds of burger meat to 300 salmon fillets, said Allison

Leach, owner of Back AlliCatering. Some of the leftovers have been served at the Mission’s celebrations when formerly homeless students graduate from the culinary program. “It’s an absolute joy and honor for us to be able to weave our talents and hearts to our fellow human beings,” Leach said. The festival also donates money from ticket sales to create four or five meals to be served fresh at the Mission over the weekend. The food is prepared by the Mission’s staff and Leach’s catering crew, and often is inspired by the visiting celebrity chefs. The usual crowd of 400 to 500 diners a day at the Mission spikes to about 700 during festival weekend, Leach said. “We serve some eclectic sauces and put a lot of love in each meal,” Leach said. “We make sure its something that they wouldn’t normally get.”

Doyline wins again, minden finishes season with loss at woodlawn

jjmarshall@press-herald.com Doyline secured their spot as one of the top-two seeds in the upcoming LHSAA Class-B playoffs this weekend with a 85-57 beatdown of Cedar Creek in Doyline on Homecoming Night. The Panthers finish the regular season on a 26-game win streak and with a 29-2 record for the 2019-20 regular season. Javeon Nelson put on a show in the finale with 18 points to lead the Panthers. Decari Markray had 16 points, seven rebounds and five steals, while point guard Jordan Fuller pitched in with 11 points and five assists. Jamaria Clark had eight points of his own, but his presence was felt as a play-maker with seven assists on the night. Doyline jumped out to a 12-0 lead before entering halftime with a 48-22 lead. Doyline’s offensive firepower has been on full display during their torrid streak, and they will need more of it if they want to advance to the Class B finals and a potential showdown with #1 Simsboro. If Doyline were to receive the #2 seed, that would spell a BYE for the first round of the playoffs. Woodlawn 57 - Minden 38 Minden’s Curtis Carter has had an illustrious career, but it didn’t finish the way he would have hoped at top-ten Woodlawn.

BUCKS BEGINNING TO SHED ANTLERS

Glynn Harris

Special to the Press-Herald There is a remarkable act of nature starting to take place any day now. Last year around late March, I was turkey hunting when I saw something that fascinated me. As I sat overlooking a food plot, a deer stepped out 40 yards or so away followed by a second and then a third deer. They lingered just long enough for me to get a good look at them but no time to snap a photo.

The interesting thing I noticed about these three deer, something I’d never seen before, was that all three were bucks that had only recently shed their antlers. Each of the three had prominent circles – pedicles - on their heads where last year’s antlers had grown. Here’s what happens in the world of the deer. Buck deer drop their antlers in late winter or early spring. Soon after losing their headgear, they start growing a new set of antlers they’ll

have until this time next year. This new set begins as fuzzy knobs growing on the pedicles which are located on the buck’s head between his eyes and ears. The newly formed antlers are soft and subject to damage and for this reason, bucks are shy and reclusive; they’re protective of this new growth. A couple of months before shedding antlers, bucks use them to hook and thrash bushes, brush and small saplings and to fight other bucks to establish domi-

nance. Bushes and bucks are in no danger of being gored and thrashed in spring and summer because he is protecting his newly forming soft antlers. According to a source I read about the growth of deer antlers, velvet is described as “vascular skin that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the growing bone.” This amazing material causes the antler it covers to grow at an amazing rate. In fact, deer antlers grow faster than

Hasler, Whorff lead Bulldogs past Trojans TROY, Ala. – Kyle Hasler drove in four runs and Jarret Whorff tossed a three-hit shutout to lead Louisiana Tech to a 9-0 road triumph over the Troy Trojans on Sunday at Riddle-Pace Field. Whorff was brilliant once again in powder blue. The junior may be well on his way to his second straight Conference USA Pitcher of the Week award after tossing the shutout in his second career start, allowing three hits with three strikeouts. “Whorff was tremendous today against a really good team. He was pitching to contact and we defended the field very well,” said Bulldog head coach Lane Burroughs. “I’m just so proud of our team. We always say that Sundays are about toughness, and today we got a road win against a good club.” The Bulldogs threatened in the first inning when Hunter Wells punched a double into right-center field. He advanced to third on a ground out, but Troy’s Easton Kirk and William Sullivan combined for an excellent defensive play on a ground ball to third to sneak out of the inning unscathed. The Dogs didn’t wait long to score. Hasler got Tech on the scoreboard in the next inning, smoking a home run to left field. The dinger was

a 1-0 pitch over the 30-foot wall in right field. The dinger put Tech up 4-0. Whorff faced trouble in the bottom of the frame. The Trojans put runners on first and third after an error and

a two-out single. The junior got Drew Frederic to fly out to end the threat. The Bulldogs tacked on another run in the seventh inning, courtesy of some aggressive baserunning. Alex

Ray singled to left field, then proceeded to steal second and advance to third on a throwing error. Max Snell stuck out the next batter for the second out, but Parker Bates saved the inning. The senior poked a single into left-center field to add an insurance run. Hasler helped the ‘Dogs play add-on in the eighth inning when he smoked a linedrive down the left field line. The freshman coasted into second as Steele Netterville and Cole McConnell crossed the plate. Hunter Wells added two more later in the inning when he floated a triple into the corner to drive in Hasler and Alex Ray. McConnell provided the final highlight of the day in the ninth inning. The freshman tracked a fly ball deep to left field, sauntering back to the fence before robbing Rigsby Mosley of a home run and saving Whorff’s shutout. Ray went 3-for-4 with a stolen base. The junior scored twice and made a sparkling defensive play on a would-be infield single. Wells finished the game 3-for-4 with a run and 2 RBI.

HARRIS: Bucks shedding antlers Pelicans look to steal one in L.A. New Orleans Pelicans (2532, 10th in the Western Conference) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (43-12, first in the Western Conference) Los Angeles; Tuesday, 10 p.m. EST BOTTOM LINE: Los Angeles will try to keep its threegame home win streak intact when the Lakers face New Orleans. The Lakers are 29-6 in Western Conference games. Los Angeles is seventh in the league giving up just 107.4 points per game and holding opponents to 44.7 percent shooting. The Pelicans are 16-21 against Western Conference opponents. New Orleans is third in the Western Conference scoring 116 points per

Continued from Page 6 any other mammal bone. This fast rate of growth actually is a handicap to a buck because of the incredible nutritional demand on deer to re-grow antlers annually. Once the antlers achieve their full potential for the year, usually by mid- September in our part of the world, the velvet has served its purpose and as it dries and is rubbed off on bushes by the buck, the antler bone actually dies and here’s something I read that gave me pause. What deer hunters see when that big buck comes slipping by the stand is an animal sporting a head full of dead bone. So for folks

puzzled about deer antlers, maybe this bit of information will answer your questions. This process is already starting in some sections of the country. My nephew, David, lives in Hot Springs Village, AR and keeps feed and a trail camera out to keep an eye on the deer living in the woods behind his home. David regularly e-mails me photos of the deer activity which includes several nice bucks. Earlier this week, one of the photos revealed that the shedding process is taking place there. Not only was one buck shown with half a rack, already having dropped one from the other side, several

other photos show the pedicles where antlers have already dropped. A fun activity many deer hunters like to pursue now that hunting seasons are over is to search for dropped antlers. There is a measure of excitement to hold in your hands the head gear of a big buck that will whet your appetite for what he’ll look like once hunting seasons roll around again this coming fall. The entire process of bucks growing velvet covered delicate antlers to them becoming hardened and eventually being shed just to do it all again every year is one of nature’s most amazing and fascinating feats.

game while shooting 46.2 percent. The teams square off for the third time this season. The Lakers won 123-113 in the last meeting on Jan. 3.
