Police investigate vehicle thefts BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com

Take the keys out of the car and lock the doors. That’s the advice to residents from the Corinth Police Department as they investi-

gate a rash of thefts of automobiles in the area. “We are anticipating that this is a ring encompassing several counties — McNairy, Alcorn, Tishomingo and Prentiss,” said Capt. Dell

Green. All of the vehicles taken, including cars and trucks, were unlocked and had the keys in the ignition.

A couple of armed robbery victims lost more than their wallets at the Johns Street park. Two individuals were in a vehicle at the park on June 28 when a man approached them with a handgun and told them to empty their pockets. “He took their wallets and cell phones,” said Corinth Police Department Capt. Dell Green. “And, strangely, he told them to take oﬀ their shorts.”

the wild pig problem in the state on Tuesday at the Mississippi Extension Center in Corinth. “They are in every county in the state,” said Tucker. “Wild pigs are a living vacuum cleaner and can eat 3-5 percent of their weight daily.” The wild pigs leave a path of destruction in every place they come across, according to Tucker. “They can create a lot of damage quick,” said Tucker. “If we don’t do something, they will take over.” Wild pigs cause $2 billion worth in damage annually in the United States. The animals have

“The damage is everywhere,” said MSU Extension Agent IV Patrick Poindexter. “I can show you a place on every side

of the county where there is damage … they are here.” In 1988, there were less than 4 percent of wild pigs in Mississippi. The number rose to 40 percent in 2009. “Their population blew up pretty quick,” added Tucker. “The only thing going after them is man.” Tucker, based out of the North Mississippi Research and Extension Center in Verona, provides programming for north Mississippi residents and organizations. He oﬀered individuals ways to control the wild animals. Methods such as shooting, dogs and using eﬀective traps are three ways being incorporated. “Shooting and hog-dogging are not the best answer,” he said. “It’s best to trap and then use the other two ways to clean up.” Tucker advised prebaiting multiple locations and using trail cameras. “Figure out how many there are and the type of trap needed,” he said. There are three main types of traps. Box, cage and corral traps have all been used. “January, February and the first week of March are the best trap times,” said Tucker. “Pigs are ruled by their stomach, so pre-bait multiple times.” Gloves should also be used when dealing with wild pigs. “Over 30 diseases can be carried or transmitted by wild pigs ,and 37 parasites can be passed on to livestock, pets and even humans,” said Tucker. “Always wear latex gloves and wash your hands often.”

“They are not hotwiring them or anything like that,” said Chief Ralph Dance. The latest theft of a vehicle happened Monday night on Maple Road. Dance said the victim was taking groceries into the house and forgot about the keys. That vehicle is a white 2005 Nissan Maxima. One suspect has been arrested and charged in connection with prior thefts. Cody McEwen, 24, of Hicks Avenue, Corinth, was arrested on Friday and charged with five counts of motor vehicle theft and felony malicious mischief, with more charges pending, said Green. A series of events leading to his arrest began about 3 a.m.

July 13 when someone jumped the fence at the Alcorn County Co-Op, got into one of their vehicles and left by driving through the fence. Green said it appears the suspect then drove to Procraft Automotive on Tate Street where he rammed the gate. Police believe the suspect then got into the vehicle of a customer that had been left there for service and went to TriGreen Equipment on South Tate Street, where he went over the fence and got into a truck which was pulling a trailer loaded with lawn mowers. Green said the suspect drove through the gate there. The truck was seen later that day in Michie, where law enforcement had a brief pursuit of the suspect but lost him. He had unhooked the trailer, which was recovered on Tulu Road in Michie. It was the theft of another truck from Conway Trucking on Cardinal Drive that led police to the suspect. A patrol officer spotted the truck at a residence on Hicks Avenue, where McEwen was taken into custody. Green said the truck taken from TriGreen has not been recovered and has been seen in the Michie area. It is a white 2008 GMC standard cab truck and has “TriGreen Equipment” on the side.

During the stop, officers found alcohol, marijuana, cell phones and accessories that appeared to be packaged for inmates at the nearby justice center. “Anytime you have a jail and a regional correctional facility, it’s a constant struggle with the contraband,” he said. “We will prosecute anybody we find bringing it in.” He commended the P.D. officers’ work on the case. In a separate arrest, the sheriff’s department recently charged a Walnut man with sexual battery of a juvenile. Joseph Lee Mercer, 29, is currently being held on a $250,000 bond.

An Ashland man was sentenced Tuesday to serve 13 years in a sexual battery case out of Alcorn County. Nekia Williams, 33, of Lamar Road, Ashland, pleaded guilty last week to sexual battery of a child under 14, and sentencing was delayed until Tuesday. It was an Alford plea, which allows the defendant to maintain his innocence despite the plea. The sentence handed down in Alcorn County Circuit Court is day-

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 20, 1976, America’s Viking 1 robot spacecraft made a successful, first-ever landing on Mars.

On this date: In 1861, the Congress of the Confederate States convened in Richmond, Virginia. In 1871, British Columbia entered Confederation as a Canadian province. In 1923, Mexican revolutionary leader Pancho Villa was assassinated by gunmen in Parral. In 1944, an attempt by a group of German officials to assassinate Adolf Hitler with a bomb failed as the explosion only wounded the Nazi leader. In 1954, the Geneva Accords divided Vietnam into northern and southern entities. In 1968, the first International Special Olympics Summer Games, organized by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, were held at Soldier Field in Chicago. In 1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon after reaching the surface in their Apollo 11 lunar module. In 1982, Irish Republican Army bombs exploded in two London parks, killing eight British soldiers, along with seven horses belonging to the Queen’s Household Cavalry. In 1989, Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest by the military government of Myanmar. In 2012, gunman James Holmes opened fire inside a crowded movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, during a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” killing 12 people and wounding 70 others. (Holmes is serving a life prison sentence.)

Wheeler ATV accident leaves Wheeler man dead WHEELER — A Wheeler man is dead following a four-wheeler crash. Blake Woodruff, 28, died Friday at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo where he was airlifted following the crash on County Road 5011. A report from the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Department states Woodruff was attempting to avoid a dog in the roadway when he lost control of the Honda Foreman four-wheeler and the vehicle flipped several times. Woodruff was a graduate of Wheeler High School, Northeast Mississippi Community College and Mississippi State University and played baseball at both Wheeler and NEMCC. He was a member of Wheeler Baptist Church and was an employee of Steel Dynamics Inc. of Columbus. Funeral services were held Monday at Waters Funeral Home.

Corinth, Miss.

2 hopefuls just looking for advice OXFORD — With apologies to Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren .. Part One: Dear Ann; I need some advice. I have led a very active, very public life. Charlie Early on, I was active as a Goldwater Mitchell Girl, promoting the candidacy of the Columnist late senator from Arizona. A few years later, I was on the board of directors for the Walmart while it was being criticized for fighting to keep employee pay as low as possible and for claiming to give American products priority on its shelves when that wasn’t entirely true. A short while later I invested in the commodities market and within days had earned 10 times the investment. Too, my husband and I joined a recreational real estate development project expecting a decent return. As it turned out, some of my partners in that project went to prison and others, well, they died. There have been several times when people have asked questions regarding donors to causes and other things and events with which I have had some involvement. Strangely, records related to these topics have inexplicably disappeared and, though I have tried my best, I have not been able to recall meetings or conversations. I should also mention that on more than one occasion I have changed my thinking. For instance, I once firmly believed that legal marriage could only exist between a man and a woman. I no longer believe that. I also liked the North American Free Trade Agreement before I didn’t like it and a few other things, too. I have also misremembered a few things, specifically and repeatedly extolling my own bravery when, well, it just didn’t happen. And I guess I should mention an FBI investigation in which I was determined to have been “extremely careless” about national security. Oh, and my husband is a serial adulterer who lost his law license due to perjury. I will close with the fact that we have both always wanted to help people. My question is this: Do you think I’d make a good president? Hillary Part Two: Dear Abby; I need some advice. I have led a very active, very public life. Early on, I inherited a decent amount of money that provided me a stake in the real estate market in New York City, probably the toughest market in the world. Because I had money, I negotiated from a position of strength, I admit that. Anyway, I have been successful, wildly successful. I have worked with the best people. I don’t know how much money I have, but it’s possible I have overstated the total and it’s also possible my income tax returns aren’t the most accurate in the world. I say things. I say lots of things. Sometimes I say things about women that are honest, maybe too honest. But women adore me. I will say that. And I will say I have been married at various times to some of the most beautiful women in the world. Some people don’t understand that I have tried to share my skills in negotiating through books and I even started a university to teach my methods to anybody smart enough to learn them. A lot of people, quite frankly, are too stupid. I am in business, and I charged for that. Some people aren’t happy. I say too bad. I have bought a lot of politicians because, quite frankly, that’s what I had to do, and I have used bankruptcy to my advantage. It was legal. I was recruited to appear on a TV show where I could be a bully. I was good at it. Lots of people watched the show. I made millions for that show until they fired me. I am also very frustrated by the media. They are not quality people. When I tell them something, they go out and check whether it’s true. And if it’s not, they want to know why. If they’re not going to do what I tell them, then I’m not going to deal with them. I have never served in any public oﬃce, but I can tell right from wrong and I intend to tell people what’s right. For instance, letting people into the country who are not Americans is, well, un-American and it needs to stop. It will stop, too. Because I will tell it to stop. I don’t ask a lot of questions, being that I know most everything and that’s why I have been successful, but just for the heck of it, do you think I’d make a good president? Donald (Charlie Mitchell is a Mississippi journalist. Write to him at cmitchell43@yahoo.com.)

Prayer for today My Father, may I start this day with more faith in myself and greater love for thy world. May my soul be awakened to the highest and be ready for the joys of to-day. Amen.

A verse to share “Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.” Proverbs 26:27

New national motto: Shelter in place! Political conventions are supposed to be about controlled hysteria. Thousands of people cram into a hall. Music throbs. Speeches blast. And in the case of the Republican convention that opened Monday afternoon in Cleveland, the a cappella children’s choir on the stage was considerably more diverse than the delegates on the floor. No matter. Conventions are about image building. Reality can be left for another time and another place. In the modern era, in which delegates are chosen by primaries and caucuses, conventions have a built-in silliness. It is like watching the Oscars already knowing what names are in the envelopes. In Cleveland this week, there are but two names in the envelopes: Donald Trump and Mike Pence. Where’s Mike Pence? Hey, Pence, get over here. Didn’t anybody give you your cues? No matter. Somebody on the Trump campaign will get around to it. The conventions are all show business, and the business of show business is to please the crowd. This year, there is an added element to the conventions: Which party and candidate can keep our citizens from being slaughtered and police of-

ficers from being slain? Which can delay, if not halt, the march horRoger of ror across Simon the globe Columnist and terror through our land? Which, for pity’s sake, can let us wake up in the morning, click on the TV or boot up the computer and not feel a cold sweat before the screen comes to life to show us how many of our fellow human beings will not be coming to life at all. Which can give us a day -- one day! -- of life without foreboding and dread? “We must not turn our backs on each other,” Hillary Clinton said about Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where a gunman killed three police oﬃcers Sunday. Hell no. Don’t turn your back on anyone these days before you know what he is carrying in his hands. And if it’s a gun and you live in a state where openly carrying a gun is legal, your choices are limited. But “duck and cover” is a good one. And “shelter in place” is becoming our new national motto. President Barack Obama has asked politicians to dial down the

rhetoric of hatred and division and to not lose hope. In Dallas, where five police oﬃcers were slain July 7, he said: “I’m here to say we must reject such despair. I’m here to insist that we are not as divided as we seem. And I know that because I know America.” Donald Trump says we don’t even know Barack Obama. “I watched the president, and sometimes the words are OK, but you just look at the body language. There’s something going on,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends” Monday out of deviousness or ignorance or both. “Look, there’s something going on, and the words are not often OK, by the way.” The words are not OK. The body language is not OK. Did they ever do radiocarbon dating on his birth certificate? According to the most recent Washington Post/ ABC News poll, released Friday, 70 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump and 55 percent have an unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton. The bar for the presidency isn’t just low; it’s virtually subterranean. But in Cleveland, the show begins. In a news conference, Jeﬀ Larson, the CEO of the convention, was peppered with questions about security. But he

kept his eye on the ball. “We are very proud of our podium,” he said, pointing out that a 10 million-pixel image was being projected on a 1,711-square-foot digital screen. The lighting grid weighs 140,000 pounds, and there are 647 moving light fixtures that he can use to aﬀect “color and tone of the convention.” Principles? Policies? Platform planks? They would probably take up too many pixels. In 1996, Ted Koppel and his “Nightline” crew made headlines when they packed up in the middle of the Republican convention in San Diego and went home. “This convention is more of an infomercial than a news event,” Koppel said. “Nothing surprising has happened. Nothing surprising is anticipated.” Koppel was expecting a surprise? That’s why he schlepped to San Diego? What planet did he grow up on? Nobody in Cleveland is expecting a surprise this week. Few want one. Nice, quiet, humdrum and bloodless will be fine. (Roger Simon is Politico’s chief political columnist. His new e-book, “Reckoning: Campaign 2012 and the Fight for the Soul of America,” can be found on Amazon.com, BN.com and iTunes.)

Will ‘Other People’s Money’ campaign prevail? Donald Trump postponed the announcement of his vice presidential candidate, Mike Pence, because of the terrorist attack in Nice, which was in line with the modus operandi of his campaign. He didn’t want to preempt news media coverage of another radical Islamist terrorist attack. Disarray and disorder work against the party in power, especially if the president and his presidential candidate refuse to identify radical Islamists as the threat facing civilized societies. The rollout of the mildmannered Pence could wait until a slow-news Saturday. The Trump campaign, pundits tell us, is violating all the old rules. The candidate has mostly eschewed “paid media” -- television and radio advertising -- in favor of low-cost tweets and the inevitable intensive free media coverage generated by a celebrity candidate. This is much like the modus operandi of big commercial real estate developers, who typically finance their projects not with their own cash but what they call “OPM”: Other People’s Money.

Now that he is in the big leagues, Trump is being advised that he must raise millions for TV ads and for building an organization to turn out his vote, and he has made some moves in that direction. But he got where he is by the political version of OPM -- Other People’s Media. Something like $2 billion worth of free airtime -- more than all the Republican candidates put together -- spiced up with an on-and-oﬀ feud with Roger Ailes’ Fox News Channel. Hillary Clinton is also reluctant to spend the millions she’s made in half-hour speeches to Wall Street firms. She’s doing it the old way: lots of fundraising, lots of TV ads, utilizing the bril-

liant organizational tactics developed by the two Obama campaigns. But the ratings seem to indicate that lots of voters want to see lots of Donald Trump. So maybe he can win the presidency as he won the nomination -through Other People’s Media. One of the unusual things about this campaign is that both parties’ nominees won thanks to large margins among their parties’ most downscale constituencies. Hillary Clinton won big margins among blacks, especially in the South. Donald Trump inevitably ran strongest among noncollege whites, especially those with low degrees of social connectedness. Americans tend to sympathize with the disadvantaged and are often ready to pay special respect to their views. After all, the most discriminated-against Americans, Southern black churchgoers, led the nation through the civil rights movement to renounce the vicious system of legally enforced racial segregation -- one of the great triumphs of our history. We honor them appropriately each year with the Martin Luther King holiday every

year. So it’s an unfortunate fact that the candidates whom both parties’ downscale constituencies eﬀectively chose are distrusted and disliked by solid majorities of general election voters. I suspect that many voters would love to see Clinton lose but hate to see Trump win, and that many would love to see Trump lose but hate to see Clinton win. The likelihood that many voters are cross-pressured makes the outcome harder than usual to predict. Polls reflect this. At this point in the last several election cycles, fewer than 10 percent of respondents picked neither major-party candidate. Right now polls indicate there isn’t a majority ready to vote for either nominee. It’s possible one or both will get bumps from their conventions and possible that one or both will get shellacked in the debates. Outcome: unclear.

Trump claims GOP nomination

Briefs Associated Press

Trump Jr. to stump at Neshoba County Fair PHILADELPHIA — Neshoba County Fair officials say one of Donald Trump’s sons is planning to appear at the fair next week. State Rep. Scott Bounds, who’s on the fair board, told multiple news organizations that 38-year-old Donald Trump Jr. will shake hands and greet people Tuesday on the fairgrounds. The younger Trump will not take part in political speeches July 27 and July 28.

Court hears case of ‘demon chipmunk’ JACKSON — Does the “demon chipmunk” violate the Mississippi Constitution? It’s a question the state Supreme Court was asked to consider Tuesday as attorneys argued over a lawsuit that a Democratic lawmaker filed against the Republican speaker of the House. During the legislative session in the spring, Democrats asked to have bills read aloud in protest because they thought their ideas were being ignored by the Republican supermajority. The state constitution says any legislator can request that any bill be read aloud before it’s passed, and reading has long been used as a filibuster tactic. Speaker Philip Gunn used a computer voice to read bills, and the voice was set so fast that some lawmakers called it a demon chipmunk — a nickname that came up in court papers and several times during arguments Tuesday.

Associated Press

CLEVELAND — United for a night, Republicans nominated Donald Trump Tuesday as their presidential standard-bearer, capping the billionaire businessman’s stunning takeover of the GOP and propelling him into a November faceoﬀ with Democrat Hillary Clinton. “This is a movement, but we have to go all the way,” Trump said in videotaped remarks beamed into the convention hall. Trump’s campaign hoped the formal nomi-

nation would both end the discord surging through the Republican Party and overshadow the convention’s chaotic kickoﬀ, including a plagiarism charge involving Melania Trump’s address on opening night. There were flurries of dissent on the convention floor as states that Trump did not win recorded their votes, but he far outdistanced his primary rivals. His vice presidential pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, was also formally nominated.

Trump was put over the top by his home state of New York. Four of his children joined the state’s delegation on the convention floor for the historic moment and appeared overwhelmed with emotion. “Congratulations, Dad, we love you,” declared Donald Trump Jr. Some delegates emphasized a need for a televised display of unity after the deeply divisive GOP primary. “United we stand, divided we fall,” said Johnny McMahan, a Trump delegate from Arkansas.

But Colorado’s Kendal Unruh, a leader of the anti-Trump forces, called the convention a “sham” and warned party leaders that their eﬀorts to silence opposition would keep some Republicans on the sidelines in the fall campaign against Clinton. This week’s four-day convention is Trump’s highest-profile opportunity to convince voters that he’s better suited for the presidency than Clinton, who will be nominated at next week’s Democratic gathering.

Officer killed while looking for suspect KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A Kansas City, Kansas, police officer was shot and killed on Tuesday while searching for a suspect in a drive-by shooting, police said. Capt. Robert Melton was searching for the suspect when he drove up to someone who matched that person’s description just before 2 p.m., police spokesman Tom Tomasic said. Before Melton could get out of his vehicle, the person opened fire, hitting the officer multiple times, Tomasic said. The alleged shooter was caught five minutes later about a block away, he said. A police spokeswoman said the suspect was being questioned Tuesday evening.

for many years and the number one thing they tell me is that they want us to stress the importance of showing up to work on time. They want the younger generation to be more attentive and responsible as employees.” In addition to future career training, programs are also available for workers wishing to learn new skills or get more proficient with computers and other technology. “This isn’t 1962 anymore. We live in a tech-driven world,” said Michael. “Many older people have a fear of technology, but once they take once of our basic computer training classes – they realize that they are invaluable resources.” Oﬀering an outstanding innovative program, the campus is trying to get the word out to those who need it. “We enroll people into the program once a month and it is an ongoing process,” explained Career Pathways Coordinator Charlie Smart. “The programs are geared toward people high school age and up wishing to find employment, earn their high school equivalency diploma or craft important skills. Many don’t realize that you can actually begin job training and even take a few college classes while working to earn your diploma.” “This program is really a chance for people. I’ve worked with adult learns for a long time and may tell me they feel like they’ve never really had one,” he continued. “Our advice to those who participate in our programs is to start with the end in mind. If we keep in mind what we are trying to build and where we want to get to, it helps keep us motivated along the way.” Students unsure of which career to choose can get started right away and discover as they go since all career pathways have the same core classes. One of the best features is that there are navigators to help every step of the way. So, there is always a guide on hand. Monday’s event was sponsored by Subway, Pizza Grocery, McAlister’s Deli, Sweet Pepper’s Deli and Roger’s Supermarket.
