Dance - 8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, August 5, 1998 Farmers (continued from page 1) Bob Moore sells produce from the back of a tractor where Lower Demunds meets Hildebrandt Road. “The tomatoes were scarce for a while, but they're good now,” he said. Moore said heavy rains in the spring were good for at least one type of fruit. “The blueberries are big this year. They got enough rain.” Moore said even with the strange weather, we were “luckier than some other states.” Bob Moore's stand has corn, squash, peaches, plums; nectar- ines, blueberries, melons, pota- toes, and cucumbers. Moore sells his own corn, but the rest of his fruit and vegetables come from other local farmers. Bonnie Cobleigh, Dallas, says she stops at the stand every few days for corn and fresh fruit. She said the quality has been pretty good this year. “The kids and the family like the corn,” she added. Weather conditions this: year may have limited quantities of local fruit and vegetables, but customers don’t seem to mind. “It - seems like things are going to be in short, supply,” Dymond said. “But .I have very few complaints about the price of produce. I think people appreciate fresh vegetables. I think fresh is worth more.” POST PHOTO/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Marion Welliver sets up shop at the intersection of Rt. 118 and the Harveys Lake Highway. She sells produce she and her husband, James, grow on their Stillwater farm, as well as that grown by other local farmers.

Rodger Bearde, who was Jobson's basketball coach at Lake- Lehman in 1981, believes if any- one can come through this, Jobson can. “They don’t come any finer,” said Bearde. “He is the kind of outstanding citizen that you hope everyone you coach or teach would become. He faces adversity with such courage.” Bearde said Jobson was in- strumental in the basketball team winning the championship. “He was a very committed basketball player, a true gentleman and showed a lot of maturity at the time (of the PIAA ruling),” said Bearde, who mentioned that Jobson went on to play four years at Lycoming College.
