Ranch rescues 10 starving donkeys An Iuka-based ranch is helping rescue several neglected donkeys discovered recently in Alcorn County.

One foal donkey died from starvation shortly after being rescued with 10 others by the Iuka-based SonShine Ranch.

The animals were originally located on Oakland Road in Farmington after being reported to the Farmington Police Department. The Corinth-Al-

corn Animal Shelter was called in to assist.

“The property owner had become concerned over the condition of the donkeys,” said Shelter Volunteer Director Charlotte Doehner. “The donkeys were in terrible condition.

We immediately began trying to find placement. We purchased a couple of rolls of hay and ensured they had water.”

The donkeys were relo-

cated to Country Road 343 in Glen near the home of the donkeys’ owner, who is currently incarcerated. Within two days, SonShine Ranch owner and Certified Horse Trainer Ricky Rogers traveled to Alcorn County to rescue 10 of 16 starved donkeys.

Rogers said he hopes to return to capture the remaining donkeys.

“The animals were in bad

shape,” he said. “They were wormy and very weak. We just couldn’t save the foal. We couldn’t get her to eat and she couldn’t get any milk from her mother because she was so emaciated.”

Homes have already been found for seven of the 10 donkeys.

“We are planning on keeping one of the donkeys at our ranch,” said Rogers.

The long time horse trainer said he doesn’t understand how people can let animals starve.

“Whomever did this doesn’t even deserve to own a goldfish, much less a donkey,” Rogers said. “If a person can’t afford to feed an animal, they don’t need to own the animal.”

Looking for a job?

Attend this event Area residents looking for work will soon have a unique opportunity to connect with employers ready to hire.

The Governor’s Job Fair Network will host the Northeast Mississippi WIN Job Fair Thursday, Sept. 25, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Crossroads Arena.

“Things are starting to look really good,” said Governor’s Job Fair Network Director Adam Todd. “This is not just a daydream field trip. If people show up with the right attitude and the skills employers are looking for, gaining employment is very high at the job fair.”

Job seekers will have a chance to make face-to-face contact with employers during the fair — something which doesn’t usually happen during today’s method of online applications.

“Last year immediately following the job fair, 36 people got a job and that’s not count-

ing the hundreds who went to work weeks after the event,” said Todd.

Those attending are urged to come with a positive attitude and dress as they would for an interview.

Job seekers are also advised to bring a resume, make arrangements for child care before the job fair and to be there when the doors open at 9 a.m.

“The first impression is a lasting impression,” added Todd.

Todd encourages job seekers to bring multiple copies of their resume to the free admission fair.

“If they do not have a resume, they can go by the WIN Job Center and they will help them create one,” he said.

(For additional information or help with a resume, call the WIN Job Center at 662-6962336. A list of registered employers for the event is available on the jobfairs.ms.gov. website.)

General election set for Oct. 14 With the votes counted in the Democratic primary, Corinth voters can begin to look toward October’s general election.

The Oct. 14 general election will see a pair of races on the ballot as Corinth Police Detective Captain Ralph Dance, the winner of the Democratic primary, vies for the office of police chief against Republican Fred Gooch, a longtime police officer. Incumbent police chief David Lancaster is not seeking reelection.

The ballot will also include the city-wide race for alderman at large. Incumbent Mike Hopkins won in the Democratic primary and will face Republican John Orman in the general election.

Dance narrowly defeated police department Capt. Ben Gann in last week’s Democratic primary 1,252 to 1,135.

He said he felt good about how the campaign was conducted.

“There was not a lot of mud-

slinging,” said Dance. “They ran a good clean race, and I appreciate it. I admire Ben. Ben is a good police officer. I can’t wait to work with him.”

Ward 4 Alderman JC Hill claimed victory in the Democratic primary over former ward 4 alderman Steve Hill and is unopposed in the general election.

J.C. Hill won the race in a vote of 326 to 266, sending him to a second term on the Board of Aldermen.

“I intend to reach out to him to work together in the community,” said J.C. Hill, the former assistant director of parks and recreation. “He made that commitment to me before he left, because we realize we can get so much more done if we work together. Since we both have been aldermen, I think we both can make a contribution to the community in a positive way.”

Corinth-Alcorn Shelter discusses future of animal control A packed room of animal shelter supporters were present for an intense discussion about the future of animal control in Alcorn County during a recent meeting of the board of supervisors.

Supervisors and CorinthAlcorn Animal Shelter Director Charlotte Doehner agreed that a plan consisting of more than an infusion of funds is needed to deal with unwanted animals,

however there is disagreement about how to handle the situation.

Doehner believes solutions can be found.

“It’s a proven method, and that is a spay/neuter program, along with the passage of laws and the enforcement of laws that require people to take care of their animals,” she said.

It is also time, said Doehner, to approach the shelter opera-

tion with a new mindset. She believes no-kill shelters combined with spay/neuter programs and other efforts are the best solution.

The discussion resulted from the shelter’s request to have a formal contract for services with Alcorn County. The Board of Supervisors proposed a contract that would increase the shelter’s annual funding from $25,000 to $30,000 with the

requirement that all animals brought by Alcorn County residents be accepted. Last week, the shelter’s board of directors declined the contract, and Doehner said some changes will be suggested.

“We only have so many cages and there are laws that we are required to abide by, and one of them is to hold an animal for five days before we can make any determination,” said Doeh-

ner.

While the county offered the $5,000 bump to help accommodate the requirement to accept all animals, Doehner said the actual costs would bankrupt the organization. There is also the problem of finding someone to perform the procedures.

DARE program receives $1,000 donation Local golfers have made a big impact on DARE programs in the city and county through a recent tournament.

Owen B. Whitehurst Memorial Golf Tournament founder Mike Whitehurst recently presented a $1,000 check to both the Alcorn County and City of Corinth DARE programs.

DARE officers David Derrick and Lane Fowler are grateful for the support.

“This community is unbelievable when it comes to supporting DARE,”

said Alcorn County DARE Officer Derrick.

“The money will go a long way with educating young people.”

DARE is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives.

Both local DARE officers teach the 10-week program to fifth and sixth graders in area schools.

“We try to stop it before it starts,” said Derrick of

the substance abuse prevention program. “DARE teaches them how detrimental substance abuse is.”

“I would like to think we are reaching parents also,” added Lane Fowler, Corinth Police Department DARE Officer. “So many kids go home and tell their parents what they learn.”

Founded in Los Angeles around 1983, DARE is implemented in 75 percent of the nation’s school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world.

older women or women of a certain race. Anyone can be affected by breast cancer,” she said. “It means a lot to me because it could very well be me battling this disease one day and I pray there are enough funds to go toward finding the cure.”

After the walk, guest speakers will give testimony on their fight against breast cancer.

“We salute all survivors and honor the memory of those who have succumbed to the diagno-

sis,” said Guyton. “I have known quite a few people who have suffered from this nasty disease and realize that no one is excluded.”

Encouraging all to join them, Hopewell M.B. Church hopes to create an event that will be a success for many years to come.

“Anyone can participate. We want as many people to come out as possible,” said Guyton.

“So, join us for our walk and let’s have a wonderful time as one body in

Christ.”

Those who are unable to attend or who do not wish to purchase a shirt can still donate to the cause.

“The Women to Women Auxiliary at Hopewell M.B. Church is sponsoring the breast cancer walk. We all plan on participating in the walk and look forward to having a joyous time fellowshipping with one another,” Guyton said. “We are so excited and we feel that in keeping God first, the walk will be a success.”

simply cannot afford the spay or neuter procedure, which averages around $120 at local veterinary offices, said the shelter director.

The shelter, which is now operating under a no-kill policy, is working on grant opportunities through the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society of the United States to launch a spay/neuter program.

There is another possibility — a community program through the Mobile Veterinary Unit of the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, which visits the shelter regularly to spay and neuter shelter animals. However, a program for the community cannot be offered through the unit because a couple of local veterinarians will not agree to it, said Doehner. Their consent is required, and Board President Lowell Hinton said he has agreed to try to help persuade them.

Among other comments from the board, 5th District Supervisor Jimmy Tate Waldon said he feels it is ultimately more humane for unwanted animals to be euthanized through the animal shelter than to be left to starve to death or die of disease in rural parts of the county.

In 2013, the shelter accepted 801 animals from the county — 54 percent of all animals taken in during the year. Also during that year, the shelter stopped requesting the $10 fee to accept animals, resulting in a loss of $7,200 of income.

Supervisors adopted the fiscal 2015 budget with funding for the shelter at $25,000. Board Attorney Bill Davis said it could be amended to the higher amount if the two sides reach consensus on the contract.

Corinth 52, New Albany 13 At New Albany, The Warriors rolled up 553 yards of offense and saw quarterback Antares Gwyn tie another school mark. Two weeks after throwing five touchdown passes, the junior rushed for three and threw for three more — tying three other Warriors by being responsible for six touchdowns.

Corinth posted its most points in the 65-game series — dating back to 1923 — since a 53-0 blanking in 1937, the first night game at the original Warrior Stadium.

The Warriors (4-1) play host to Aberdeen on Friday.

Freshman Waylon Holley gave AC (1-4) the lead just under three minutes into the contest. Jack Awwad had a 10-yard pass to Holley with under a minute left in the third.

Central will host New Site for Homecoming on Friday.

Smithville 48, Biggersville 0 At Biggersville, the Lions dropped their fifth straight of the season and suffered their third straight shutout. They remain winless on the year as their record sits at 0-5 and 0-2 in Region 1-1A play.

The Lions would get as close as the Seminoles’ 5-yard line right before the halftime buzzer, but they failed to convert on fade route in the back of the endzone.
