The 1992 Polk County Gar dener's Calendars have arrived and are being offered for sale at area businesses. If you have not owned one of these in the past, you are miss ing out. The calendar is a nationally awarded project of the Polk County Extension Service. It contains month by month information on what to plant, what to prune, what to fertilize and other general chores you need to remember in order to keep your yard looking great. Many of us see Extension Director John Vining here and there and everywhere each week. Often you see people stop him and ask a question about this plant, or that shrub. Invariably he'll given them the advice they seek, and remind them that the next time they need help all they need to do is, "Look at your gardener's calen dar." It's all there, even when John is not.

N C 28782 Election Board To Hear McMillian's Complaints Tuesday The Columbus Board of Elections will hear complaints filed by mayoral candidate Kathleen McMillian by Tues day in Town Hall, but no defi nite time and date have been made, said the board chairman. Kathleen Culbreth, Joyce Dedman and Heinie White must first decide if there is probable cause for a hearing to consider complaints of voting by non registered, non-resident persons and voter harassment by Charlie Feagan. If the complaints filed by McMillian warrant a hearing, the election board will hold the hearing before answering Mrs. McMillian's complaints in writ ing, said Mrs. Culbreth. First the municipal election board must file a record with Raleigh that hearing will be held, Mrs. Culbreth explained. The Columbus Election Board can either dismiss the com plaints or honor them. Mrs. Culbreth said that the complaint of two voters' resi dency will be hard to prove. However, she believes there are plenty of witnesses of harass ment by Feagan. If in fact two non-registered, non-resident voters were per mitted to vote, a new election could be ordered, explained Johnnie McLean with the North Carolina Hoard of Elections.

At Tryon Elementary last week, Mrs. Edwards, who has taught kindergarten for nineteen out of the past twenty- three years, was named "Teacher of the Year" by her colleagues. She began her career teaching second grade in Kings Moun tain for a year, and taught two years more in a federally funded kindergarten before moving to Tryon in 1971. After two years as a fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Edwards was given the kinder garten assignment at Tryon Elementary that she has enjoyed ever since.

The American Cancer Society says 27,1X10 American men will die from prostate cancer this year, but, like breast and colon cancer, could have been helped if detected early. Murphy will point out the signs and symptoms of prostate cancer and discuss the three exams or tests used by doctors to detect prostate cancer: digital exam, ultra-sound and the pro- state specific antigen (a simple arm-prick blood test).
