Washington, DC – As Idaho Senator Mike Crapo enters the final week of his radiation treatment for prostate cancer recurrence, he will highlight the Mike Crapo Health Awareness Booths at local Idaho fairs. He will also discuss the radiation treatments and the reactions he has received from constituents regarding the cancer recurrence. “Capitol Watch” airs statewide on Idaho cable television stations the second Tuesday of each month, from 7 to 7:30 p.m. Mountain/6 to 6:30 p.m. Pacific on Tuesday, April 12th.
“My recent round of treatment is going well and is entering the final days,” Crapo said. “While I have had some side effects, they have been mostly minimal and I have been able to keep up with my schedule. This ‘Capitol Watch’ will give Idahoans an opportunity to learn a little more about the radiation treatment and remind them to take advantage of the health awareness booths when the fair season starts up in a few months. We will again be at four local fairs in Idaho and hope to see many of you there. More than ever, I want to Idahoans to be vigilant about their health and to use these early detection tools to keep healthy and active.” The health awareness booths will be operating during the following fairs in Idaho at the end of the summer: Western Idaho Fair (Garden City) August 19-28 North Idaho Fair (Coeur d’Alene) August 24-28 Twin Falls County Fair (Filer) August 31-September 5 Eastern Idaho State Fair (Blackfoot) September 3-10 “Capitol Watch” will air in the following cities over the following cable channels: Boise/Nampa/Caldwell 11 Coeur d’Alene 19 Idaho City 37 Idaho Falls/Blackfoot 19 Lewiston 13 Moscow 11 Pocatello 22 Twin Falls 60 The program is sponsored by the Idaho Cable Telecommunications Association (ICTA) and local cable systems throughout Idaho.
