Appeals court sets date for offshore lease sale

Fri, 09/29/2023 - 11:48am

VICTOR SKINNER, The Center Square

Last week a federal judge ruled the Biden administration must go through with offshore lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico by Sept. 27 as originally planned and under original conditions. One week later, the 5th Circuit amended the ruling, pushing back the lease sale date to Nov. 8.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, who sued over another restriction imposed on the industry, said the ruling was “a major win not only for the rule of law, but also for Louisiana jobs and affordable energy. At a time when working families are being squeezed by unaffordable Bidenomics, I am glad to deliver yet another victory defeating overreaching bureaucrats.

“Congress is clear: lease sales must take place; so we are grateful the Judge cut through the noise and upheld the law,” Landry added. He also said “our fight is far from over,” the initial ruling granted relief “against the President’s latest attack on reliable and affordable American energy.”

The U.S. oil and natural gas industry, led by the Gulf states of Texas and Louisiana, have set records in petroleum exports and led in exports of liquified natural gas in the first half of 2023.

The industry has also provided a “lifeline” to European countries reducing reliance on Russia and suffering from failed “green energy” policies, according to data previously reported on by The Center Square.

Last Thursday, Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana granted the plaintiffs request for a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit filed against the Biden administration by the state of Louisiana, American Petroleum Institute (API) and petroleum companies, Chevron and Shell. They sued after the Biden administration attempted to hamper U.S. oil production again, as its repeatedly done since January 2021, they argued. This time, the attempt was through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's (BOEM) restrictions on Lease Sale 261, which covers millions of acres in the Gulf of Mexico.

Jeremy Alford: In a GOP state, two Dems lead for secretary of state

Fri, 09/29/2023 - 11:09am

JEREMY ALFORD

If you’re not paying attention to the secretary of state’s race, then you’re missing out on what may be the most interesting Louisiana election of 2024.

There are eight candidates — five from the GOP, two Democrats and an “other” — vying to replace Republican Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin.

The secretary’s office oversees elections, our state archives, nine museums and a commercial division that helps business owners operate in Louisiana.

In a state trending Republican, the two Democrats are setting the pace, based on recent polling.

Splitting somewhere between 23% and 30% of the vote are “Gwen” Collins-Greenup, who will have a respectable showing in her hometown of Baton Rouge, and former state Sen.

Arthur Morrell, a one-time parish clerk who will carry a notable share of his native New Orleans.

That means an all-Democrat runoff isn’t as impossible as it usually is in Louisiana.

For this particular race, however, a traditional D vs. R showdown is more likely.

The biggest surprise on the Republican side is Thomas Kennedy III of New Orleans, who is holding onto roughly a dozen points or so in a couple of polls.

Kennedy, who is undoubtedly benefiting from having the same last name as our junior U.S. Sen. John Kennedy, received nearly 245,000 votes the last time he ran for secretary of state in 2019, securing an impressive 19 % of the electorate.

A retired real estate developer, Thomas Kennedy cobbled together that share four years ago with barely any money in the bank. This go around he has loaned himself $100,000 to finish the final stretch.

The most important polling trends belong to House Speaker Clay Schexnayder of Ascension Parish. He enjoys strong name recognition outside of his regional base, particularly in south Louisiana.

Schexnayder is also on the air with a new television buy that’s said to be in the six figures. He has the money to spend — roughly $954,000 in both of his campaign finance accounts.

“There are about six candidates all within six points of each other,” said Baton Rouge consultant Pres Robinson.

“At this point, this race will clearly be turnout-driven. You already have at least two candidates up on television and they’re going to want to stay up. The problem is it’s a tough environment to keep raising money, even in big races like governor, and it’s not going to get any easier the further down the ballot you go.”

Robinson added, “I don’t even think voters are aware of the race for secretary of state in any meaningful way.”

First Assistant Secretary of State Nancy Landry is on television as well after reporting $196,000 in her campaign account.

Plus there’s an outside group called the Louisiana Integrity PAC supporting Landry’s bid. The Virginia-based outfit has $231,000 in cash on hand and support from donors like businessman Eddie Rispone.

A Baton Rouge resident with much deeper roots in Lafayette, Landry is making inroads in surprising places, like Bossier Parish, where a handful of elected officials are preparing to jump on her bandwagon.

Just as Thomas Kennedy is benefiting from name likeness, supporters of Landry hope her campaign will play up her name likeness as well.

After all, more money will be spent on the Landry name this cycle than any other, thanks to the gubernatorial bid of Attorney General Jeff Landry, who resides at the apex of the 2023 fundraising game.

The candidate most closely matching Schexnayder’s regional gains is Public Service Commission Mike Francis of Crowley, who is marching through north Louisiana and picking up support from a handful of courthouse cliques. A touch more country than others running, Francis is proving he knows how to work a rural parish.

Should fundraising dry up, Francis could self-fund his campaign operations as needed. For now, though, his campaign is sitting pretty with $367,000 in the bank.

Local officials, such as clerks, may end up playing an important role in this year’s race. That’s due in no small part to election integrity issues being raised by a couple of the candidates and the call for paper ballots. Such candidates are typically strong supporters of former President Donald Trump.

“I think the first thing clerks want to hear in this race is truth in speaking, and by that I mean speaking the truth,” said Lafayette Parish Clerk Louis Perret.

“But you’ll probably see most clerks stay neutral. Everyone wants to wait and see what happens in the primary.”

Perret said he was troubled by remarks made by candidate Brandon Trosclair of Gonzales, who believes Louisiana can move to voting on paper and counting by hand — and finish

that entire process in just 45 minutes. Perret described the idea as “fantasyland” and said it isn’t possible.

Trosclair, who said last year he expected a Trump endorsement in this race, countered that Perret and his elected colleagues “don’t want to take the time to look into these things” and that “Texas, Florida and Missouri” are already following such a path.

A Republican businessman who employs more than 500 people at 13 grocery stores across Louisiana and Mississippi, Trosclair reported $40,000 on hand as of Sept. 14.
The election is scheduled for Oct. 14, with a runoff, as needed, on Nov. 18.

Get It Growing: Gardening success starts with soil

Fri, 09/29/2023 - 9:38am

By HEATHER KIRK-BALLARD, LSU AgCenter Horticulturist

The foundation of our gardening success lies in our soil health. Soil is, of course, the root of all things good in the garden. This is the place where plants anchor their roots, and it is a dynamic ecosystem that impacts the growth, health and vigor of our plants.
Soil health is crucial for providing plants with the necessary nutrients, water and physical support they need to grow and thrive. When the soil is healthy, plants are healthier, more productive and better equipped to resist pests, diseases and other stressors. Soil helps plants be more resilient to environmental stresses such as extreme temperatures, heavy rainfall and drought.
As gardeners, we can do many things to help improve soil health and thereby our plants. The first place to start is soil testing. It is a good practice to understand what you are starting with and know the current condition of the soil.
A test can tell you the amount of nutrients and organic matter present and the pH (acidity or alkalinity) level. As homeowners, it is not crucial, but it is an option so that you can know what is lacking — or for that matter, what is in excess, so you do not waste fertilizer.
Soils can be amended with organic matter such as compost, well-rotted manure, leaf mulch and other organic materials that can improve the soil structure, water retention and nutrient content. You also can adjust the soil pH if it is too high (alkaline) or too low (acidic). Add lime to raise pH or sulfur to lower it to the desired level.
Use mulch to help conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, suppress weeds and gradually enrich the soil as it breaks down.
Avoid over-tilling, as this can disrupt the soil structure and harm beneficial soil organisms. Minimize tilling the soil and consider no-till gardening methods, especially in established gardens. In addition, minimize foot traffic and heavy machinery on garden beds to prevent soil compaction, which reduces air and water movement into the soil.
If you have multiple garden beds, consider rotating the location of your crops each year to prevent the buildup of certain pests and diseases in the soil. This also can help with preventing depletion of nutrients in the soil. This is especially important in herb and vegetable gardening where these types of plants can be heavy feeders.
You can plant companion crops that work well together to help improve soil health. For example, legumes like peas and beans have bacteria in their roots that fix nitrogen in the soil, benefiting the plants around them. In addition, planting cover crops during the off-season helps protect the soil from erosion. These crops can be incorporated back into the soil to add organic matter. Some examples are clover, brassicas, daikon radish, rapeseed and rye.
Additionally, you can encourage beneficial soil microorganisms by avoiding using harmful chemicals. You can opt for organic and natural alternatives instead. The soil biological community includes all living organisms within the soil, which includes things such as insects, earthworms, nematodes, plant roots, animals and a slew of microorganisms including bacteria, protozoa, fungi and even viruses. A single gram of soil can contain billions of bacteria alone.
However, not all are beneficial. It can be a delicate balance. Some retail garden centers sell soil microorganism inoculants that can be applied to the soil to help improve soil health. Follow the manufacturer label for the best results.
By taking these steps to improve soil health, home gardeners can create a more fertile and resilient garden or landscape, leading to healthier plants and a more sustainable gardening practice.

Man’s daughter refuses to contact grandmother

Fri, 09/29/2023 - 9:32am

By Jeannie Phillips, ©United Features Syndicate

DEAR ABBY: My 23-year-old daughter, “Chloe,” lives with me and refuses to acknowledge her grandmother’s emails and letters, which are delivered to our home. It has been four years since my mother has even seen Chloe. My mother is growing increasingly disappointed and is grieved by Chloe’s apparent distancing. (We live 20 miles apart.)
Over the past year or so, I have calmly asked Chloe to reply to her grandmother’s kind emails and letters. She generally hears me out and then turns and walks away. I have a close and loving relationship with my mother.
To me, she’s the world’s greatest mom and grandmother. I also have a warm and loving relationship with my daughter. There’s little that I wouldn’t do to ensure her a safe and comfortable home, a good education and, in general, items that aren’t unreasonable.
My problem is, I am starting to feel caught in the middle of this widening communication gap. It’s embarrassing when I’m at family get-togethers because Chloe stopped attending any family gatherings years ago.
Obviously, something has driven my daughter to refuse to acknowledge her grandmother, and for that matter, the rest of our extended and very large family. How do I break this proverbial ice?
DAD IN THE MIDDLE IN VIRGINIA

DEAR DAD: Your daughter is an adult. She, not you, is presumably responsible for her own behavior. I don’t know what happened four years ago that caused Chloe to withdraw, not only from her grandmother but also the entire clan, and neither do you (or you would have mentioned it).
Step out from the middle, Dad, and let your daughter deal with the fallout from having excommunicated the entire family. You can’t fix this. Only Chloe can do that.

DEAR ABBY: Twenty years ago, my wife was diagnosed with a life-threatening health issue. We both rebounded from it and have had a good run. Over the last three years, though, her health has turned south again. She has heart, lung, liver and stomach issues that prevent her from being active.
Most of her time now is spent just sleeping or sitting. She cannot walk farther than 20 feet without becoming exhausted, and this is with supplementary oxygen. She has other issues as well.
When people ask me how my wife is doing, I tend to respond, what I consider to be humorously but also pragmatically, “Well, I haven’t buried her yet.” But when I do, people become offended. Most of them don’t realize we deal with this every day, and I have no desire to recount every detail of her problems to satisfy their curiosity. At the same time, I realize most are asking out of genuine concern. Is there a better answer?
WISE GUY IN FLORIDA

DEAR WISE GUY: I think so. Try responding, “She’s doing as well as can be expected,” or “Her condition hasn’t changed; I will tell her you asked after her,” and then change the subject.
