Main • Heppner 676-9426 m The U m atilla Chemical Depot is holding a q u a rte rly em ergency preparedness exercise starting Monday, Nov. 17. Activities pertaining to the exercise can be expected during the entire week. Depot sirens will be so u n d ed , but not the community sirens. Residents may see smoke or helicopters during the exercise. This is a coordinated exercise between the depot and off-post communities. Although this is only an exercise, such events are excellent opportunities for individuals- whether at home or work- to stop and ask them selves if they, their families, loved ones or co workers know what to do if an actual emergency were to occur. Chemical Stockpile Em ergency Preparedness officials recommend residents develop emergency plans for their homes and businesses. Anyone needing more information about emergency preparedness should phone the following CSEPP toll-free numbers: 1-877-367-2737 in M orrow and U m atilla counties; and 1 -800-841 - 7953 in B enton County, Washington.

A ccording to the American Cancer Society, depending on age, stage of the cancer and other medical conditions, the patient should discuss surgery and radiation with his physician. Hormonal therapy and chemotherapy or combinations of these options m ight be considered for metastatic disease (cancer that has spread from its original site). Hormone treatment may control prostate cancer for long periods by shrinking the size of the tumor, thus relieving pain and other symptoms. Finally, carefu l observation without immediate active treatment, known as “watchful waiting,” may be appropriate, particularly for older men with low-grade and/ or early stage tumors.
