On Friday morning, April 26, at 9:00 A.M., Jim Healey interviewed Pat Wentworth, co-ordinator of the Sandpoint Community Garden project located at the old Junior High Playfield, south end of Sixth Avenue at Pine Street (between Euclid Ave./Boyer Ave./Lake Street). They discussed the history, progress, needs and where the final bounty benefits our community. A call went out for tomorrow’s (Saturday, April 27) volunteer work day for revitalizing the 72-raised bed plot and the need for additional organic, garden-quality soils and volunteer haulers..

Jim Healey’s in-studio guest on Thursday morning was Mac Hollan, the driving force behind a benefit fund raiser associated with the Bonner County Community Foodbank. They discussed the program and raising awareness about hunger in Bonner County’s school-aged population and the goal of providing backpacks filled with nutrition for students to take to their homes over the weekends.

Mac’s ambitious fund-raising goal is to bike from Sandpoint, Idaho, all the way north to the North Slope coast of Alaska’s Wilderness — a trip of over 2,750 miles beginning on June 17!
