Southern Ohio Medical Center’s Cancer Center now offers a breast cancer support group called the “Pink Ribbon Survivors.” The support group will meet to discuss the challenges, options and stresses that accompany breast cancer.
The new group will meet from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the SOMC Cancer Center conference room, 1121 Kinneys Lane.
“We offer two breast cancer support groups at the SOMC Cancer Center,” Wendi Waugh, administrative director of SOMC Cancer Services, said. “We currently have a group that meets at 1 p.m. on the third Wednesday of every month but we wanted to start a new group that gathers together in the evenings, in an effort to better meet the needs of our patients.”
For more information, please call the SOMC Cancer Center at (740) 356-7496.

Auxiliary lock is closed
Due to the temporary closure of the auxiliary lock chamber at Willow Island Locks and Dam near Marietta for unscheduled repairs, recreational boaters — including those associated with the upcoming Sternwheel Regatta — will likely encounter delays while locking through the main chamber. Recreational craft will have to wait in line with commercial tows to lock. Priority will be given as first come first served.
The auxiliary chamber is being repaired and is expected to reopen in mid-December 2010.
