Judge dismisses wrongful death lawsuit BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

A federal judge dismissed the wrongful death lawsuit brought by family members of an inmate who died while on release from the Alcorn County Regional Correctional Facility. The suit against former sheriﬀ Charles Rinehart, Alcorn County and Rinehart’s bonding

company, RLI Insurance Company, was filed in April 2015 by Steely Danielle Whitaker and Daniel Ryan Bonds, who sought actual, compensatory and punitive damages. Senior U.S. District Judge Glen Davidson granted the defendants’ motion for judgement on the pleadings and dismissed the case for all of the defendants in an order

issued last Wednesday, according to court records. “Rinehart is immune from suit in his individual capacity, and the claim is further barred by the inmate exception,” states the written opinion. The judge found that the plaintiﬀs failed to state an underlying federal constitutional claim and failed to suﬃciently

allege deliberate indifference on the part of the county defendants. The judge also found that the plaintiffs failed to allege that Whitaker suffered harm inflicted by Rinehart as a private actor. The lawsuit said Whitaker, while on an improper pass granted by Rinehart in October 2013, purchased narcotics

The Corinth Board of Mayor and Aldermen adopted a fiscal 2017 budget on Tuesday with no change to the property tax levy and a pay increase for city employees. The total millage rate holds at 95, with 26.3 mills designated for general revenue. The total school district millage is 59.2. The pay increase for city workers is generally 2.5 percent, and the aldermen will also get that amount. Based on varying circumstances, some individuals received more or less. “We’ve only had one year in six years that we haven’t had a pay increase,” said Mayor Tommy Irwin. The city received requests from outside agencies for funding totaling $415,970 and allocated a total of $346,470, a slight decrease of $2,500 from the prior budget.

Teeny Weeny Circus among fair attractions BY BOBBY J. SMITH bsmith@dailycorinthian.com

Ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages — the Teeny Weeny Circus is in Corinth this week. This new event for the Alcorn County Fair will be featured through Saturday night at intervals beginning at 5 p.m. The Teeny Weeny Circus is an outside event for fairs and festivals starring the Fido 5 performing dogs, Snickers the mind-reading pony and veteran circus clown Elmo Gibb. “We are so excited to have the circus as an addition to our fair,” said Alcorn County Fair secretary Sandy Mitchell. “I think it will be quite entertaining for children and those young at heart. Elmo Gibb is the ringmas-

somebody probably gets as much out of it as the kids.” One organization in need of volunteers is LINK, an allvolunteer organization funded through diﬀerent grants with the mission of providing Please see VOLUNTEERS | 5A

Two Corinth men are facing charges related to Saturday morning’s robbery of the Subway restaurant on North Harper Road. Brian Carpenter, 30, and Christopher Bidstrup, 35, were both charged with robbery, according to a statement from the Corinth Police Department. The two men allegedly robbed the restaurant around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday by handing a threatening note to a worker promising harm if their demands were not met. They left the Subway with an undisclosed amount of cash and fled in an automobile. Witnesses at the scene were able to provide the tag number and description of the car. Carpenter and Bidstrop were arrested near Glen during a traﬃc stop by the Alcorn County Sheriﬀ’s Department on Saturday. Both men remain in custody under a $25,000 bond.

ter of the Teeny Weeny Circus. Gibb has 21 years of experience as a circus clown and almost as many years training animals to perform. Teaching Snickers the mind-reading pony how to do his act — including addition, subtraction and mind-reading — was a full-time job for Gibb. “We trained for 10 hours a day, seven days a week,” recalled the veteran clown. In addition to Snickers, Gibb has personally trained all of his performing dogs and even a llama or two. With the decline of actual three-ring style circuses in America, Gibb said the Teeny Weeny Circus is a way to keep the big top traditions alive on the fair circuit.

Terry Cartwright enjoys spending as much time as he can with his grandchildren, doing volunteer work, riding horses and going to church. “I try to enjoy life and do something worthwhile,” said the 69-year-old resident of Corinth’s Oaks Subdivision. A member of First Baptist Church of Corinth, Cartwright also serves on the Dropout Prevention Committee of the Commission on the Future of Alcorn County. The former Bancorp South president retired in 2013 after 40 years of service at the bank, including 32 years in Corinth. Cartwright and wife Gloria have two sons, Cory, a youth minister in Jackson, Ala., and John, who owns a coffee shop in Florence, Ala. He has six grandchildren, ranging in age from 1 to 9 years old.

“I am a real circus clown,” he said. “Before the animals do their thing I’ll come out and clown a while, do some magic tricks. I like going out before the shows and meeting people one-on-one.” Part of his repertoire includes Gibb’s unique variation of “the world’s oldest magic trick” — a new spin on the old cups and ball trick. “It really is the world’s oldest magic trick. I’ve seen it painted on the wall of a pyramid in Egypt,” said Gibb. “But the way I do it is with trash cans and a volleyball.” The Teeny Weeny Circus will be held every evening at the fairground next to the Crossroads Arena.

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Sept. 14, the 258th day of 2016. There are 108 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem “Defence of Fort McHenry” after witnessing the American flag flying over the Maryland fort following a night of British bombardment during the War of 1812; the poem later became the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

On this date: In 1829, the Treaty of Adrianople was signed, ending war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. In 1861, the first naval engagement of the Civil War took place as the USS Colorado attacked and sank the Confederate private schooner Judah off Pensacola, Florida. In 1901, President William McKinley died in Buffalo, New York, of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin; Vice President Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him. In 1954, the Soviet Union detonated a 40-kiloton atomic test weapon. In 1975, Pope Paul VI declared Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton the first U.S.-born saint. In 1991, the government of South Africa, the African National Congress and the Inkatha Freedom Party signed a national peace pact.

Secrecy plagues court cases involving Hinds DA JACKSON — The American justice system requires trials to be open to the public. But, so far, secrecy shrouds the legal maneuvering that could lead to a criminal trial where the defendant is the top prosecutor in Mississippi’s largest county. Citizens can’t understand the full story of the problems because at least five cases regarding Hinds County District Robert Shuler Smith Jeff Amy Attorney are under seal. Here’s what is known:. At Columnist some point early this year, judges began to make efforts to ban Smith from presenting certain cases to grand juries. At least one of those cases appears to involve Smith’s claim that a man named Christopher Butler was framed by Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agents. Smith told County Court Judge Melvin Priester Sr. in March that he could prove video evidence in the case had been tampered with. Smith also contested the authority of Attorney General Jim Hood to prosecute certain cases in Hinds County and at some point began moving toward indicting at least two assistant attorneys general who used to work for his office. Assistant District Attorney Jamie McBride swore in a statement filed by Smith lawyer Jim Waide that shortly after meeting with Smith and then-assistant DA Ivon Johnson to discuss the Butler case, he began to get nervous phone calls from Patrick Beasley and Shawn Yurtkuran. That’s when Hood charged Smith with six misdemeanor counts of illegally advising people accused of crimes. “The Mississippi Attorney General arrested Smith and seeks to indict Smith not because of any good-faith belief Smith has committed any crime, but because two assistant attorneys general feared that they were about to be indicted,” Waide wrote Aug. 19. Those charges were dropped last week, to be followed the next day by a felony indictment charging Smith and McBride with hindering prosecution. Waide said Thursday that he believed McBride had been indicted as retaliation for agreeing to swear out the statement. Even McBride’s indictment was handled curiously. Hood’s office sent out a press release Wednesday announcing Smith’s indictment, but omitting mention of McBride. Then his office sent The Associated Press a copy of the indictment with McBride’s name blacked out, even though his name was present in online court records. After not responding to questions Wednesday about McBride, Hood’s office announced his indictment Thursday. That’s just one example of the secrecy enfolding the cases. The Clarion-Ledger has sued to have the cases opened, saying those who closed the files didn’t give notice, hold a public hearing, explain why the filed were closed, or consider alternatives. All those are required under past Supreme Court decisions. “The proceedings applied to seal this court file were and are arbitrary and capricious and not conducted in accordance with existing law,” wrote Clarion-Ledger attorney Dennis Horn. Waide has also filed motions to open parts of cases, saying Smith believes the files and transcripts have evidence that would exonerate him. Some of the questions have already gone to the state Supreme Court, and others could eventually. The high court is supposed to regulate lower courts in Mississippi, but Chief Justice William Waller Jr. declines comment because he could be asked to rule. “It’s just like any other matter before the court,” Waller said Thursday through spokeswoman Beverly Kraft. “I can’t talk about it.” And neither can hardly anyone else, apparently. Daily Corinthian columnist Jeff Amy is a writer for the Associated Press based in Jackson.

Prayer for today Gracious Father, wilt thou bring to my mind and heart the important things which are needed in preparing life. Help me to use the strength that is given to me for to-day, that I may not have to give to-morrow to learning what I should have known. Amen.

How substantial is state’s gaming market? STARKVILLE — Political and business developments in Arkansas could represent a threat to up to 12 percent of the Mississippi gaming market. Over in Alabama, there was a political nearmiss on legislation that would have authorized a state lottery there – which would have created even more competition for Mississippi’s gaming market. How substantial is that market? The American Gaming Association’s most recent annual report estimated gaming’s economic impact in Mississippi at $3.92 billion and said it generated 36,023 jobs providing $1.44 billion in wages, $911.4 million in federal, state and local tax revenues in 31 casino properties in the state. In terms of state tax revenues, the State Department of Revenue reported Fiscal Year 2015 gaming revenues at $250.18 million. More to the point, Mississippi took in some $344.58 million in gaming tax revenues in FY 2008. By FY 2015, that number had dropped to $250.18 million. FY 2016 is showing incremental growth from that figure. Indeed, Hurricane Katrina, the BP oil spill and the Great Recession combined to do a number on gaming revenues in Mississippi. But ignoring the role of increasing competition in the state’s surrounding Missis-

sippi would be foolish. Now comes an Arkansas measure that voters there will vote on Sid Salter in Novemasking Columnist ber them if they are ready to amend the state’s constitution to legalize casinos in three counties – Boone, Miller and Washington. Think this isn’t aimed at ramping up competition for Arkansas dollars currently going to casinos across the state’s lines? The amendment would define gambling as including games, devices or types of wagering permitted at a casino located within Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma, Tennessee or Texas as of the date of the Nov. 8 election or subsequently allowed by those states thereafter. Currently, Arkansas only has a state lottery and two pari-mutuel racetracks. But competition for gaming dollars is fierce across the region. And in terms of the state’s portion of the take from gaming, Mississippi doesn’t fare well. In comparison with other states that have commercial casinos, Mississippi has the third-lowest state gaming tax rate in the country behind only Nevada and New Jersey. Mississippi levies a

12 percent tax rate on gross casino gaming revenues, of which 8 percent goes to the state and 4 percent to local governments. Some 23 states — almost all more aﬄuent than Mississippi — have commercial casinos, and 20 of them have higher gaming tax rates. Louisiana levies 21.5 percent — plus another 4 percent local taxes — and routinely, with fewer gamblers visiting fewer casinos, takes in more than double Mississippi’s gaming tax revenue. The proposed new Arkansas casinos would pay 18.5 percent of their net casino revenue to state or county governments. Consider the rest of the South and the state’s gaming competition: • In the South, Mississippi and Louisiana are the only two states with commercial casinos. • Native American gaming interests also operate in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. • Lotteries operate in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Tennessee. • Pari-mutuel wagering (horse or greyhound racing) is legal in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida and Louisiana. • Racetrack casinos are legal in Florida and Louisiana. • Charitable gaming (bingo or electronic gaming and poker machines) are legal in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and

Mississippi. There are other possible forms of competition, but some are more insidious. Online gambling is legal now in Delaware, Nevada and New Jersey. Lawmakers in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts and Texas have also toyed with online gambling proposals. Mississippi’s Gulf Coast casinos are betting heavily in the 2017 Mississippi legislative session on their legislators keeping the lion’s share of the BP oil spill settlement funds to revitalize and improve the Gulf Coast as a means of improving the destination experience for gaming customers with increasing choices of where to go to gamble. For the long-term future of Mississippi’s casino industry, the elephant in the room is the future of online gaming in the U.S. Millions of Americans are wagering billions online. Think about the diﬀerence in online shopping and online movie and television entertainment access over the last 15 years. Gaming faces that same revolution in the U.S. and will impact that industry and the tax revenues it generates in Mississippi. Daily Corinthian columnist Sid Salter is syndicated across the state.

Clinton shows contempt for conservatives Every now and again secular progressives rip oﬀ their mask and tell conservatives what they really think of them. At an LGBT fundraiser last Friday in New York, Hillary Clinton one-upped President Obama, who said of conservatives during the 2008 presidential campaign: “And it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or antitrade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” That came to be known as the “bitter clingers” speech. Hillary Clinton said: “You can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables.” She then said that some of these people were “irredeemable.” After strong pushback, presumably from some of the “deplorables,” Hillary Clinton partially walked back her remarks. She said she had been “... grossly generalistic and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying half -- that was wrong.” How many, then? Onequarter? One-third? Ten percent? And how does she arrive at such a figure? This is the contempt

in which it seems the left holds traditional Americans. Anything they say “no” to is Cal to be labeled Thomas racist, sexist, misogynist, Columnist xenophobic and nativist. To the left, anyone who does not share “modern” ideas is to be condemned, even called unAmerican and deplorable. Clinton’s remarks remind me of what Washington Post writer Michael Weisskopf wrote about evangelical Christians in the early ‘90s. Weisskopf said they were “mostly poor, uneducated and easy to command.” That produced a torrent of critical letters and phone calls to the newspaper, prompting Ombudsman Joanne Byrd to explain the reasoning behind Weisskopf’s statement was that most journalists don’t know any of “these people.” The two comments prompted scores of evangelicals to send their resumes to the newspaper, showing degrees, even doctorates in various fields.

by the Republican National Committee in response to Clinton’s remarks, Chairman Reince Priebus said, “Insulting everyday Americans to a group of wealthy donors shows whose priorities Clinton really has in mind and exposes the hypocrisy of a candidate whose stated desire to unite the country is clearly all for show.” Priebus went on to accuse Clinton of “condescension and “disrespect” to her fellow citizens. Half of them anyway. Name-calling on both sides prevents us from hearing what solutions to America’s manifold domestic and foreign challenges the candidates propose. Perhaps the upcoming debates will help focus their and our minds. Bad language in politics is nothing new. The 1800 presidential race between Thomas Jeﬀerson and John Adams, who are now held in high regard as statesmen, was the beginning of what we now call negative campaigning. In addition to the often scurrilous things they said about each other, Adams and Jeﬀerson had surrogates who attempted to outdo them. As Rick Ungar wrote in 2012 for Forbes maga-

zine, the president of Yale University, a John Adams supporter, suggested that if Thomas Jeﬀerson were to become president, “We would see our wives and daughters the victims of legal prostitution.” A Connecticut newspaper, notes Ungar, warned that the election of Jeﬀerson would create a nation where “murder, robbery, rape, adultery and incest will openly be taught and practiced.” Not to be outdone, James Callender, “an influential journalist of the time ... wrote that Adams was a rageful, lying, warmongering fellow; a ‘repulsive pedant’ and ‘gross hypocrite’ who ‘behaved neither like a man nor like a woman but instead possessed a hideous hermaphroditical character.’” Deplorable, but redeemed in the minds and hearts of their countrymen; I’m doubtful the same will be said of the current presidential candidates 200 years from now.

see changes in funding. The board agreed to increase the Corinth-Alcorn Animal Shelter contract amount from $70,000 to $75,000. Among those taking cuts are the Crossroads Museum, down from $12,000 to $10,000, and Main Street Corinth, down from $17,500 to $15,000. Main Street had received a bump for a couple of years during development of the Wick Street green space. The board wants project-specific requests from Main Street in the future. The Tupelo-based

the children and youth of Alcorn County with experiences, opportunities and events that promote positive behavior and lead to success in school and life. LINK President Laura Gilham said there is always a need for more tutors at LINK, and that the organization often utilizes high school students as well as retired teachers as volunteers. “There is so much to gain from working with those kids,” said LINK tutoring program’s Barbara Barrett. Project Attention is another of the group’s seeking volunteers. “Project Attention is just what it says — attention to the needs of the child,” said Project Attention’s Shirley Rowland. “We are focusing on the needs of at-risk children.” Rowland said the afterschool group is there to help with homework and remediation, and working with the kids to be socially interactive. In the summertime they work on what the students will be studying in the next school year. Another group that targets at-risk kids is the Lighthouse, an afterschool tutoring system for kids in the Corinth school system. “We go for the at-risk kids, the ones who are in danger of falling through the cracks,” said Lighthouse Executive Director Gary Caveness. “We try to catch these kids before they’re 15 to 18 and in trouble on the streets because education failed them or they failed education.” Lighthouse Director of Music and Mentoring

chapter of the American Red Cross, which was in the previous budget at up to $3,000 for phone expenses, was cut from this year’s budget as the result of no volunteer staﬃng being established in an oﬃce at City Hall. The board agreed on Tuesday to move toward contracting with the Orion Planning Group for a comprehensive plan for the city, and the budget will include $75,000 toward the cost, although the city is seeking assistance from other sources. The cost of about $150,000 would be spread over three years.

The board considered pursuing the plan a year ago but ultimately did not. The new budget year begins Oct. 1. Agency allocations that did not change are: • Airport — $110,000 • Alcorn County Health Department — $1,000 • Alcorn County Soil & Water — $5,850 • The Alliance — $80,000 • Verandah-Curlee House — $35,000 • CARE Garden — $9,000 • Keep Corinth Beautiful — $4,000 • Veterans service office — $1,620

“You’ve got to give back to the community that’s given everything to you.” Taylor Coombs Corinth School District public relations director Chris Williams said the Lighthouse very intentionally goes for the atrisk kids. “It’s a challenge. The beauty of it is even the most at-risk kids, if they have someone who cares, if they have somebody consistent, what you see is they start to get it,” said Williams. “We don’t see where the kids are right now. We see what they can be. You need somebody who can dream with them and pull it out of them.” The Alcorn School District is also seeking volunteers for its Community Connections Mentoring program. The goal of the program is to meet the social, emotional, academic or spiritual needs of students. “We’ve had teachers who were skeptical at the beginning,” said Director of Mentoring Tammy Ray. “But after the mentors come they’re like, ‘Can we get a mentor for every child in school?’” The Corinth School District is seeking high school students to serve as mentors in the founda-

tional studies and enrichment activities program scheduled for Oct. 3-21, during the school year’s first break. High school students are being sought to help with the character education activities during the morning hours of the program. “I really get on my soapbox to high school kids,” said Corinth School District Public Relations Director Taylor Coombs. “You’ve got to give back to the community that’s given everything to you.” To volunteer or for more information, contact: • Alcorn County School District, Director of Mentoring Tammy Ray, 2866159 • Corinth School District, Public Relations Director Taylor Coombs, 287-2425 • Lighthouse Executive Director Gary Caveness, 415-1670 • LINK Tutoring Program, Barbara Bennett, 287-3602 • Project Attention, Shirley Rolland, 2875200

Trump faces Florida Clinton campaign behemoth Associated Press

MIAMI — For Donald Trump, the fight for Florida begins and ends with mass appeal: signature rallies and direct social media contact with voters who believe he can “make America great again.” Add some 30 Florida Trump employees to about 80 Republican Party field workers deployed around the state and that pretty much covers the GOP nominee’s conventional ground game operation in the largest battleground state. Then there’s Hillary Clinton: 51 oﬃces, with more on the way, and 500 employees combing Florida, and an overall ground game that rivals that of the previous Democratic nominee, President Barack Obama. Trump loyalists say they have

a deliberate strategy and farreaching footprint to counter the Clinton behemoth, even if his apparatus doesn’t measure up in campaign oﬃces, staﬀ and paid advertising. But the organizational disparity leaves more than a few Republicans scratching their heads. All agree Trump has no path to the required 270 electoral votes without claiming Florida’s 29. “Everyone keeps saying you’re not doing this in a traditional way, why?” says Trump adviser Karen Giorno. “Well, we don’t have a traditional candidate.” She oversaw Trump’s Florida operation from the primary season until last week, when she moved to national duties. Giorno points to thousands of volunteers led by unpaid chairmen in each of Florida’s

67 counties. The Republican National Committee says it has 1,000 trained volunteers to go with its employees. Yet only after Labor Day did the Trump campaign open outposts other than the nominee’s state headquarters in Sarasota. Giorno’s replacement by Susie Wiles came just two months before Election Day. Giorno and Wiles say their candidate is in good shape. Either Trump or his running mate Mike Pence will be in the state at least weekly until the election, Giorno said. Between visits, she added, a volunteer network, led by people in each of Florida’s 67 counties, will use more conventional methods to build the Trump coalition. Wiles, in an interview on her first day as the new Florida

boss, said judging the campaign by offices and staff “isn’t the right measure we should use,” because “you don’t meet voters sitting in an office.” Prior to her job change, Giorno described a two-track strategy she developed with Trump’s blessing. “Ten thousand people in an arena and thousands of people on social media are just as good as (Democrats) knocking on 10,000 doors — and we’re doing that, too,” Giorno said. “I don’t see how people say we have no ground game just because they don’t see something that operates just like they think it should.” Scott Arceneaux, senior strategist for Clinton’s Florida campaign, calls that “ridiculous spin” in a state where marginal shifts in a diverse electorate can

tilt the statewide result. Obama won Florida by fewer than 3 percentage points in 2008 and less than a percentage point four years later, with turnout exceeding 8.3 million both times. Polls for months have suggested another tight race. Trump’s Orange County chairman, Randy Ross, said Arceneaux discounts people like him. Ross, whose territory includes Orlando, shepherds other volunteers who run phone banks and knock on doors using voter lists produced by the Republican National Committee’s data operation, expanded after Obama’s two victories. “We happen to be using things Republicans learned” from Obama, Ross added, “but we are really a movement, just like Mr. Trump calls it.”

Clinton vows to release medical info BY JULIE PACE AP White House Correspondent

Our clean-up period is going on now. Replace flags or flowers starting Monday.

WASHINGTON — When Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia late last week, she informed a handful of her closest advisers, but pressed on with a busy campaign schedule and did not inform the public that she was sick. “I just didn’t think it was going to be that big a deal,” she said. Clinton’s first com-

ments about her health condition came in a CNN interview late Monday, a day after a dizzy spell caught on video forced the Democratic nominee to disclose her illness and cancel a West Coast campaign trip. The incident reinforced Clinton’s reputation as a public figure with a predisposition for privacy. While her top campaign aides conceded they were too slow in providing the

ur new rules are designed to keep Forrest Memorial Park clean and beautiful. Each year, we will observe three clean-up periods: March 15-31, July 15-31 and October 15-31.

public with information about Clinton’s condition, it was unclear how quickly they themselves had been informed by the candidate. In a move aimed at quieting questions about transparency, Clinton said she would be releasing more medical information this week. Her campaign has sought to turn the matter around on Republican opponent Donald Trump, who has released only a glowing letter from his doctor, though the billionaire real estate mogul says that he, too, plans to make public additional information in the coming days. Less than two months from Election Day, Clinton’s handling of her health incident added to Democrats’ growing sense of uncertainty about the presidential race. While Democrats said the matter is unlikely to fundamentally alter the presidential race, Democrats worry the race with Trump is too close for comfort. “If you look at the way the last couple months have gone, it feels like the race should be further apart,” said Greg Haas, an Ohio-based Democratic strategist and former county party chairman. Aaron Regunberg, a Democratic state representative from Rhode Island, said he was “surprised and concerned” that the race is so tight. “I still think that we are likely to win, but I think anyone who’s not concerned about a bigoted, KKK-endorsed sociopath being this close right now in the polls is not living in reality,” Regunberg said of Trump. Clinton abruptly left a 9/11 anniversary event Sunday in New York and was seen on video stumbling and being held up by aides.

Americans get first raise since 2007 WASHINGTON — In a long-awaited sign that middle-class Americans are finally seeing real economic gains, U.S. households got a raise last year after seven years of stagnant incomes. Rising pay also lifted the poorest households, cutting poverty by the sharpest amount in nearly a halfcentury. Higher minimum wages in many states and tougher competition among businesses to fill jobs pushed up pay, while low inflation made those paychecks stretch further. The figures show that the growing economy is finally benefiting a greater share of American households. The median U.S. household’s income rose 5.2 percent in 2015 to an inflation-adjusted level of $56,516, the Census Bureau said Tuesday . That is the largest one-year gain on data stretching back to 1967. It is up 7.3 percent from 2012, when incomes fell to a 17-year low. Still, median incomes remain 1.6 below the $57,423 reached in 2007.

Woman saved from flood meets rescuer DENHAM SPRINGS, La. — Millions of people have seen and shared the video of a good Samaritan jumping off a boat to rescue Hailey Brouillette and her dog from a car sink-

ing into south Louisiana floodwaters last month. Brouillette isn’t one of them, but she finally got to meet the man who saved her life. Although she heard David Phung’s voice during the rescue, Brouillette says she never saw her rescuer’s face before their reunion Monday at a Denham Springs home where she is temporarily staying. “I know I don’t know you, but I love you,” Brouillette, 53, said as she hugged and thanked the man she called her “angel” and “savior.” “It was nothing,” Phung, 27, replied before Brouillete introduced him to Sassy, the poodle mix he also saved. Brouillette lost her trailer home and all of her belongings in the flooding. Phung brought her a load of supplies, including dog food.

Children evacuated from burning bus COLLEGE PARK, Md. — A school bus driver helped evacuate nearly two dozen children from a bus after the vehicle caught fire. Prince George’s County Fire Department spokesman Mark Brady said in a statement that 20 students from Glen Arden Woods Elementary School were safely evacuated Monday evening without any reports of injuries. It’s not clear what caused the fire in College Park. Brady says it appears to have started near one of

the back wheels of the bus before spreading throughout the rest of the vehicle. Most parents were able to pick up their children from the scene, while the others were taken to safety by a second responding bus. Dashcam video posted by The Washington Post shows the bus engulfed in flames and heavy plumes of smoke.

Luxury Trump hotel open in Washington WASHINGTON — The luxury hotel that Donald Trump built in an iconic downtown Washington building has opened its doors to customers able to pay $900 a night or more for a room. The Trump International Hotel, Washington, D.C., opened without fanfare Monday afternoon. Grand-opening ceremonies are being planned for October. Trump tweeted a photo of himself with the hotel staff but did not make a public appearance. Rooms at the hotel are starting at $895 a night. The Trump Organization won a 60-year lease from the federal government to transform the Old Post Office building on Pennsylvania Avenue into a hotel. Monday’s opening attracted some protesters who disagree with Trump’s politics. Two well-known chefs backed out of plans to build restaurants at the hotel because of Trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants.

Transgender woman stabbed 119 times PASCAGOULA — A Navy seaman in training accused of stabbing a transgender woman to death appeared before a Jackson County judge Monday for a preliminary hearing. Sheriff’s Deputy Leo Allen revealed details about what investigators found in a St. Martin hotel room on July 23. Autopsy results show 25-year-old Dee Whigham was stabbed 119 times, he said. Allen said many of the wounds were to Whigham’s face, and her throat was slashed three times. Allen said surveillance video shows 20-year-old Dwanya Hickerson and Whigham walking into a Best Western hotel room together around 8:30 p.m. He said Hickerson was seen leaving the room alone about 23 minutes later, his shirt around his neck. Whigham’s friends called 911 after finding her body about 9:45 p.m.

Convicted pastor’s son turns himself in COLUMBIA — The son of a Hattiesburg pastor turned himself in on a gun charge the same day his father was convicted in a federal corruption case. William Vaston Fairley, 36, surrendered on a felony warrant Monday in Marion County, where he had been indicted on possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, WDAM-TV reported. He was convicted of possession of a controlled substance in 2007 in Forrest County. In April 2014, he was

pulled over for an expired license plate on U.S. 98 in nearby Marion County. A report from that stop said Fairley was cooperative and told deputies he had a gun in the vehicle. His bond was set at $10,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 13.

Crude oil cache The Energy Department reports its latest tally of U.S. crude oil stockpiles today. The nation’s crude oil supplies fell two weeks ago by nearly 3 percent to 511.4 million barrels. That translates to a decline of about 14.5 million barrels. Crude oil stockpiles are at historically high levels for this time of year. A drop in the nation’s crude oil inventories typically boosts the price of oil.
