SUMMARY: In Amory, residents have been eagerly awaiting the return of home games for the high school baseball and softball teams after their fields were destroyed by a 2023 tornado. Mayor Cory Glenn spoke with WTV’s Jake White, providing an update on the recovery process. The fields are on federally owned land, complicating the rebuilding effort. The city is working to transfer ownership to the school, with documentation now in the hands of state and federal agencies. While progress is being made, Mayor Glenn expects to have a definitive answer in a couple of months, which could allow rebuilding to begin.
Amory is still awaiting the go-ahead to rebuild its high school baseball and softball fields after a tornado destroyed them in 2023.

SUMMARY: The Stewpot Opportunity Center in Jackson is responding to dangerously cold temperatures by extending its hours to 22 per day and providing shelter for up to 30 people. The center ensures guests receive food, clothing, hygiene items, hot meals, showers, and rest, with activities like movies to help them stay comfortable. Director Javonda Stanton emphasizes that it is inhumane for people to be left outside in the cold, which can lead to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite. The city is also reopening a temporary shelter at Champion Gym in partnership with Shower Power for those in need.
