I’m happy and relieved to announce that the domain name http://www.greatday.ca is back on the web, which eliminates the need for this information to be on the Hello page:
21Oct09 – My domain www.greatday.ca is no longer working. As a result, all emails to aap AT greatday DOT ca and bokashi AT greatday DOT ca are being returned as undeliverable. Send all email inquiries to greatday180 AT gmail DOT com My new website can be found at http://www.greatday18.ca
What surprises me is that my email news alerts from Google and Yahoo were never canceled despite 4 four months of being returned undeliverable. Unfortunately, people are more responsive to bounced emails and I of know at least one sale lost because I was unreachable. There were probably more.:-(
My old domain is now parked and forwarded and greatday18.ca will soon become a WordPress based website.
So, a quick search of the Web showed that a combination of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda will do the job very effectively. But the ingredients were not available. They are now.
As soon as I got home, even before I searched the ‘net, I sprayed Chloe with a combination of Terra Biosa, molasses and water. Since I know that Biosa, the active ingredient of bokashi, helps stop the smells of composting, I thought it would help. I was right. There was about a 20 minute delay before we got Chloe into the bath and washed her down with a dog shampoo. Later that day, as I walking her about, I asked three strangers if they could smell the skunk odour on her.
Hi, my name is Chloe and I am a 5 yr old large mixed breed, probably some chow, possibly some schnauzer or terrier and perhaps a hint of shepherd. Everyone who meets me thinks I am pretty special. I adore people and getting lots of affection. I will sit by your side and soak up the love for as long as you will let me. I haven’t had much affection in my life so I am trying to make up for lost time. I am good with other dogs but am not particularly interested in playing with them – I prefer the company of people. I am good with little people too but I like to chase after cats and other small animals. I am a big girl, weighing in at 88 lbs and am a medium energy dog. I am not too pully on the leash but will need some training to heel. I know how to sit and come and am eager to please and very smart so I can learn whatever you would like to teach me. I am not a barker and I don’t jump up either but I will wag my tail furiously and smile from ear to ear when when you come home. As with all dogs I would love a home where someone is home most of the day or can take me with them to work. My adoption fee is $250.
The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce honors Mel Dick as February’s Volunteer of the Month for his service to our community. Mel is more than a small business owner in our community and this honor does little to recognize his countless hours of volunteer work he spends his time doing.
Since moving to Sandpoint in 2012, Mel has immersed himself in our community. He is currently on the Board of Directors for the Rotary Club of Sandpoint and Panhandle Alliance for Education (PAFE). He also serves on Bonner General Hospital Foundation Advisory Council. Also, he is a large supporter and founder of the Race Across America Team Laughing Dog and Team 24/7 for Autism. Mel is also a large supporter and organizer of the WaCanID Bicycle Ride that takes hundreds of riders around the International Selkirk Loop.
When asked why he rides in the Race Across America Team, Mel answered, “to compete in one of the toughest sporting events in the world with a team of dedicated individuals, all of which have a sense of adventure and to raise awareness and funds to support autism.” In 2008, Mel did the ‘Ride For Education’ that took him on a 10,000 mile journey across the country benefiting the PAFE and early childhood literacy.
Please join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating Mel Dick in being honored as the Volunteer of the Month and thanking him for all of his contributions to our community. His hard work has done a lot for so many causes in our community. Thank you Mel!
The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is proud to recognize Pend d’Oreille Winery as the February’s Business of the Month. Founded in 1996 by Steve and Julie Meyer, the Pend d’Oreille Winery is in its Sweet 16th Year of Business! Located at 220 Cedar St. in Sandpoint Idaho, they are a local business that prides themselves on earning the trust of their customers, establishing a relationship and watching the word of mouth grow their business.
The Pend d’Oreille Winery is an award winning winery and Winemaker Steve Meyer is very proud of all of his wines. Bistro Rouge and Chardonnay are both double Gold Medal winners, the Malbec’s and Merlot have won many great accolades, and the winery boasts many other awards for their wines.
Incredibly, the Pend d’Oreille Winery was the first winery in the nation to create a refillable magnum 1.5 liter bottle of the Bistro Rouge red wine blend. The slogan is simple ‘Think Green, Drink Red’ and the impact has been huge. This program keeps roughly half a ton of waste out of the landfills every month and has close to 15 tons of waste out of the landfill since this program has launched. They have even expanded and created a second refillable bottle for the Bistro Rouge white wine blend.
Please join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating Pend d’Oreille Winery for their success in the wine industry and thanking them for their commitment to our community.
