Rockets and Vikings
By Larry Palmer
The eighth grade Ponies tallied a win against the visiting
Pilot Rock Rockets and took a second win while up against
the Umatilla Vikings.
Against the Rockets, the Ponies took an early 12-10
lead and never allowed them to fire off. In the third and fourth
quarters, the Ponies continued to keep the Rockets in check
and galloped off with a 42-36 win.

This is a coordinated

diagnosed in men over age 65.
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.
