Five years of fighting breast cancer in Yazoo

Early detection can be the difference between life and death when it comes to breast cancer.
Over the last five years the Pink Symposium has armed many Yazoo women with that information while helping make sure they receive those potentially life-saving services.
Sponsored by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the Pink Symposium keeps growing every year. Over 100 participants are expected to attend this year’s event on Oct. 20 at 6:15 p.m. at Yazoo City High School’s cafeteria.
For sorority member Ruby Wallace, who serves as the event’s project manager, the fight against breast cancer is personal. She is a survivor.
Wallace was diagnosed with breast cancer 17 years ago.-------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
