Society Wants To Someone you know ? possibly a family member ? will develop can cer this year. The American Cancer Society es timates that in western Brunswick County alone, 48 people will die of cancer during 1991 and 96 new cas es of cancer will be diagnosed, says Judy Rudow, district executive di rector. The West Brunswick unit covers the section of the county south and west of N.C. 87 to the Columbus County line and the South Carolina state line. It includes communities such as Bolivia, Supply, Shallottc, Calabash, Holden Beach, Sunset Beach, Ocean isle Beach and Ash. Of the estimated 23,900 people living in this area, said Ms. Rudow, an estimated 311 arc alive, saved from cancer through early treatment and detection, and another 48 will be saved this year. Improve Statistics Another 335 are cancer eases un der medical care. Statistics indicate that 7,170 of the area's population will eventually develop cancer: and 5,258 will die of cancer if the present rate contin ues. But it doesn't have to be that way. With early detection and treat ment, most cancers are curablc. That's why the society says "an informed public" is its best weapon against cancer, and why its volun teers distribute information on can ccr prevention and early warning signs to their neighbors. The American Cancer Society raises funds to support cancer edu cation programs for health care pro fessionals and the public ? recently targeting young people and the so cio-economically disadvantaged; patient support; and research into the causes and best therapies for cancer. Last year nearly S5 million was spent for research conducted at five universities in North Carolina. Nearly 800,000 adults and about a half-million younsters were reached through cancer education programs aimed at encouraging prevention and early detection. More than 22,000 cancer patients were helped through the Society's service and rehabilitation programs. These pro grams offer information and refer ral, transportation, comfort items, peer visitation and counseling. They also support tumor registries, con fcrenccs and provision of screening clinics. The American Cancer Society meets all standards of both the Na tional Charities Information Bureau and the Better Business Bureau. Brunswick Town Site Reopens Brunswick Town State Histor ic Site reopened Saturday just in time for the Memorial Day week end. Located on the Cape Fear Riv er near Southport, the site was temporarily closed due to am munition unloading at the adja cent Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point. "With the summer tourist sea son upon us, I'm glad we're able to reopen our doors to the pub lic," said Jimmy Bartlcy, site manager. The site has resumed its nor mal operating hours, 9 a.m. to to 5 p.m. Monday through Satur days, and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sun days. Brunswick Town is the site of remains of the colonial port town of Brunswick and the earth mounts of Fort Anderson, built a century later by the Confederate Army. The site is located off N.C. 133, adjacent to Orton Planta tion, midway between Southport and Wilmington. Send Someone To Jail June 6 Someone you know could be going to jail soon, but don't worry, it's all for a good cause. The Brunswick County Unit of the American Cancer Society will conduct a jail-a-thon Thursday, June 6, at the N.C. National Guard Ar mory in Shallotte. Herbie Ward, chairman, wants to raise at least S5.000 in pledges and contributions to support the Society's programs in research, education, patient services and rehabilitation. To find out how to have someone arrested or to become a jail-a-thon volunteer, contact Ward at 754-4301 (days) or 754-8494 (evenings) or the American Cancer Society Area Nine office in Wilmington, 919-343-1711. New Chapter Offers Support To Families Of Mentally I I What do we do? Where do we go for help? When mental illness strikes, these are questions commonly asked by the victim's family and friends out of their concern, confusion and fear, notes Chris Judah, a local counselor. A new local group, the Bruns wick County Alliance for the Men tally 111 (BC-AMI), is organizing to help fill the gap. Ms. Judah said the group is comprised of individuals in the same situation, all have loved ones who are mentally ill. The group offers mutual support, an opportunity to exchange infor mation and to advocate for changes in research, treatment and services for the mentally ill. The chapter also hopes to devel op a more sympathetic public un derstanding of the problems of those with mental illness, as well as providing emotional support and understanding for the families and strcnthening their ability to cope. The Brunswick County Chapter of the Coastal- Tri-County Alliance for the Mentally III held its first or ganizational meeting last week, Ms. Judah said. It plans monthly meet ings with guest speakers from vari ous related organizations. Speakers will help provide a belter under standing of mental illness and of the services available for treatment. The non-profit organization is supported by dues and contributions. Dues are S 15 per family per year. The next chapter meeting is Mon day, June 17, at 7 p.m. at the Bruns wick County government complex at Bolivia. More information is available by calling Ms. Judah at 842-7942 after 5 p.m. Nationwide there arc more than 10 million severely menially ill peo ple, and several thousand of them live in the Coastal Tri-county area, said Ms. Judah. In the U.S., at least 30 million family members and friends of the mentally ill are affect ed by their devastating illnesses. Local Painters Form Association A new organization is forming for local ariisls, according to Eliza beth Lauria. Approximately 25 painters at tended the first organizational meet ing of the Waterway Art Associa tion last week, she said. The next meeting will be held Thursday, July 25, at 1:30 p.m. at Seaside United Methodist Church on N.C. 179 near Ocean Isle Beach. The group is open to residents of North Carolina and South Carolina who are painters, not arts and craft persons. Dues are S5 per year. An ongoing painting class spon sored by the association meets Thursdays and is open to associa tion members at no charge. Catherine Spencer, who was elected temporary chairman, is the person to contact for more informa tion. Her telephone number is 579 3808. Stable Hosts Radio Friends A local horse stable was the un usual setting for the annual WHQR Friends of Public Radio annual meeting Sunday, May 26. Approximately 80 members and guests attended the gathering at Far Winds Stables at Thomasboro, said member and hostess Lynn Pctch. Mrs. Petch said she had applied to host the event more than a year ago. One reason WHQR approved use of the site for this particular year, she added, is that the stable's pastoral setting will be changed with the four-laning of U.S. 17. Also, she said, the station likes holding its meetings away from Wilmington to reach out to mem bers in its far-flung service area. Members enjoyed bird walks along the trails, pony rides, a picnic on the lawn and a talk by Michael Tiiterton, WHQR general manager. A riding demonstration to music taped from WHQR highlighted the afternoon, said Mrs. Petch, especial ly when Elizabeth Milligan's Star nickered in response to the horse's voice in Sleigh Ride. Also riding were Jenny Grimmel, Terri Purring ton and Nina McLamb. Other key volunteers involved in preparations for the meeting includ ed Ruth Crosby and Jim Hackeu, said Mrs. Petch. Far Winds Stables is a regular supporter of public radio through its "WHQR Manure Pile," she said. Individuals who take small quanti ties of manure from the pile are asked to make a donation to the sta% lion, which serves much of south eastern North Carolina.

This beautiful plant seems to need something I'm not giving it. It produces lots of blossoms, most of which fall off in a week or so. It has ! produced about six large juicy limes over the years. What should I do to encourage this tree to develop more limes? 1 would appreciate a detailed care regimen, covering watering, feeding, pruning and spraying. Thank you. Answer: Citrus can be grown in doors. However, you may want to change out your planter. Citrus plants require a well-watered soil. ITiere is a right and wrong way to water. The correct way to water your citrus is to soak the entire pot until all the soil is totally wet. Water stress at flowering or immediately following fruit set will cause young flowers or fruits to abort. Light quality and water arc critical during the growing season. Often indoor conditions arc excellent for plant maintenance but exceedingly poor for fruit production purposes. Let me recommend the following regimen for your citrus: Prune your plant in the early spring or summer just before you move the plant out doors. Bury the pot in the soil until the rim of the pot is level with the ground. Choose a shady spot for the plant that receives plenty of indi rect sunlight. Use a complete solu ble plant food diluted to about one fourth of the recommended strength for every third watering. Citrus is not self-pollinating, so you must play the part of the honey bee. You must hand-pollinate the flowers by taking pollen from an anther and placing it on a receptive stigma of a flower. Carefully dig up the entire pot and move indoors when night tem peratures are predicted to dip below THE PLANT DOCTOR C. BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep plant free of in sec its and follow the water regimen as mentioned above. I love limeade, so remember me when you harvest that bumper crop next year. Dear Plant Doctor: I have never seen my peach trees so full of fruit. I fear that my tree will break apart if all that fruit ripens. Several years ago, I had peaches but they were full of worms and had black spots all over them. What can I do to have good peaches? Answer: Peach trees require a great deal of pruning, fertilization and care. Sounds like you have problems with pruning, fruit thin ning, plum curculio and scab. Books arc written about the care of pcach trees. North Carolina Cooperative Extension Scrvicc pub lishes a wonderful brochure that will tell you all you want to know about home fruit production. Call, write or visit your local ex tension agent and request Tree Fruit Production for Home Use by M.H. Hokbe, publication No. AG-28, and Growing Peach Trees in the Home Garden by K.M. Williams, horticul tural information leaflet No. 329. You need to develop a compre hensive integrated pest management and cultivation program if you want to have really high quality fruit. (Send your gardening questions to The Plant Doctor, P.O. Box 109, Bolivia. N.C. 28422.) Cancer And Environment Focus Of Teleconference A teleconference ai Brunswick Community College from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. today (Thursday) will ex plore issues relating to environmen tal cancer, the question of "what is really giving us cancer". The telecast. You Are What You Live With .will be aired from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the teaching audi torium of the ALS Building. The show is open to the public at no charge. Discussion lcadcrs/scicntists Tim Alrich, Robert Lckcr, Mary Beth St. Clair, David Lincback and Carl Shy will examine claims that cancer is related to agents found in environ mental sources such as water, pesti cides on fruit, radon gas in homes and even the air we breathe. The program will be videotaped and made available for later view ing by the public at the BCC Learning Resources Center. Share Your 'Roots The Brunswick County Historical Sociel y and Brunswick Community College Library wants to hear from anyone with old newspaper articles, family Bible records or church his tories of local interest. Sharon Gore, librarian, said the BCC library will copy the historical information at no charge for addi tion to its files.
