Studio 9 Interview: Longtime sports reporter Parrish Alford publishes book
SUMMARY: Parish Alford, a longtime sports writer for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, has published a new book that serves as a perfect gift for sports enthusiasts. With nearly three decades of experience, Alford shares personal stories from his extensive career covering college football, primarily focusing on Mississippi State and Ole Miss, alongside some high school anecdotes. His book emphasizes the people and relationships in sports rather than just the teams and players. Available in local bookstores, including Reeds and Square Books, as well as on Amazon, it offers a nostalgic look at the sports landscape in Northeast Mississippi.
Anchor Craig Ford spoke with longtime sports reporter and newspaper man Parrish Alford about his new book “Habitual Deadline: Sports stories of 3-plus decades from the guy who came and stayed.”
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.
