PAGE2 THE POST NEWS Sunday, July 24, 2005 | FOR THE POST/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Lou Ellen Zekas buys some green vegetables from Lori Cotrone of Creekside Farms at the Back Mountain Farmers Market. MARKET Continued from Page 1A “Sweet corn is always very pop- ular this time of the year,” said Jo- "lene Dymond. “And the berries are so good for you. We thought it would be good to get involved (with the farmers market). We need to help our community.” And it’s also important for members of the community to support their local farmers, says Brace. “People should take pride in buying from them,” he said. “The stuff you buy in the supermarket is coming from California. There are very few family farms left. You need to support them o they’ll go away.” : In addition to Brace Orchard and Dymond Farm Market, other farms selling produce at the farm- ers market were Grassy Ridge Farms of Noxen, Golomb Green- house of Plains, Yost’s of Wapwal- lopen and Covered Wagon Pro- duce of Wapwallopen. Igourment also sold food at the market. “I'm really glad that I got in- volved with the farmers market,” said Manzoni. “It’s a great way for people to get fresh fruits and veg- etables. I think the community would have been upset if we didn’t have it again.” Three-year-old Alec Mattingly of Sha- vertown leaves his cup aside after seeing these eye- catching summer berries at the Back Mountain Farmers Market.

And, of course, there are al- ways special circumstances. Leona Walter, 75, first came " to The Meadows when she had to put her mother in skilled care. I t wasn’t until she saw the way her mother was treated at The Meadows that she decided to volunteer as well. “My mother was almost blind, but she would play bin- go,” Walter said. “Someone was there all the time to help her. They took such good care of her.” Now, 10 years later, Walter wears a green smock for 50 hours of volunteering. It is now the residents who inspire her by the little things they do. Leona Walter serves Myrle Collbaugh some fried bread dough and cinnamon. Collbaugh was one of the first Meadows Center volunteers and is now a resident. “Sometimes you take your resident back to their room and they grab a hold of your hand and kiss it. It’s very rewarding,” Walter said. “Some of them have no fam- ily members. They get so excit- ed when they see you walking down the hall.” Down in the dining room, the residents wait for their fried dough. Pearl Williams eagerly twists around in her wheelchair to talk to Walter, who bends down and gives her a hug. “If they (volunteers) ~® to help, were happy to them,” Williams said. “They push me back to my room after bingo. I know they’re nice because they push every- one. They help a lot.” Electric HEAT Makes SENSE | Electric heat is: Clean Safe Efficient Practical By combining energy efficient equipment with appropriate insulation, weatherization and thermostat settings you can significantly lower your energy bills.
