Sometimes even the most prepared campers forget something!…read more Location: you're camping at Sun Lakes, Coulee City, or somewhere in the Grand Coulee or Ephrata area. Situation: popped bike tire and no more patches on-hand. Solution: drop-in the Coulee City Builder's Supply in Coulee City, WA. This place is a catch-all for the things you might have needed at camp but forgot. Examples: shotgun ammo, garbage bags, BB guns, camping or fishing supplies, an ax, or in my case, spare bicycle inner tubes. Plus, as their name implies, they also sell building supplies too. I rated this place high because staff was friendly and they'd stocked what I needed. They're the only place in the area (that I'm aware of) with their offerings, but even so, the prices were not too far out of whack with a Fred Meyer price, for example. Keep in mind though, this is like the "last chance" gas station of hardware stores and you won't find an array of merchandise or shelves stocked with quantities of 100 like a home improvement warehouse store would. The guy on the register (actually, sole employee on duty) was helpful and good-humored. He recommends the diner next door to the hardware store for a good meal in Coolee City, if you're in town long.

It's baffling that so many businesses push-back on mask-wearing, complaining the Governor made them…read moredo it or some nonsense about loss of personal freedoms. May I offer a more useful stance? First.. It might help to know that most people appreciate mask-wearers. They may not express it, because thanking someone for doing the right thing is peculiar. "Hey, thanks for not murdering me" (as example). See? It's strange. But here's why I believe masks are welcomed. Wearing a mask is an act of compassion, a chance to unite to defeat Covid through responsible stewardship of our own and our neighbor's health. I'm old enough to remember when working as-one-people for a common cause was how we expressed patriotism. A mask is a tool of resolve, of pride in that purpose. Unfortunately some seem more proud of pushing back rather than helping overcome what we're facing. That's what I ran into at the Do-It-Center Thursday. A young cashier behaved in an unbecoming manner and the store manager's example may have set the stage for what took place. As she rang my purchase, her nose in full view above a mask, hoping she'd cover properly I asked, "You 'do' realize that your mask is ineffective used in that way, right?" Had she made any effort to protect me I would have been grateful for the consideration and would have thanked her. But instead her response was to simply say, "thank you", making no effort to reposition the mask. More than a little surprised by her choice to disrespect an elder, I said, "Thank you for your compassion". Her response? "Thank you for your opinion". As if the transmissibility resulting in 2.5 MILLION deaths worldwide and a causal link to the efficacy of masks in slowing the spread was opinion vs fact. The young woman felt empowered to dismiss me, dismiss the risk, and she had no worry over repercussion from her employer who was on the sales floor (versus the upper level offices w/doors) on the phone and "not wearing a mask himself". Who knows what drives these behaviors, whether politics, selfishness, arrogance, ignorance or something else. But the manager was certainly leading by example. A couple points. 1) Anything the Do-It-Center sells can be purchased for less and can be picked up curbside in Spokane. 2) The reason people still go to storefronts is to support them. Masks are an easy way merchants can reciprocate. If I feel I'm being considered, that tells me a merchant values my patronage. But protection is needed from more than just employees. Customers with no face covering are present at every Colville retail store I've visited in the past year. Every one, and every time. Are they "all" unable to comply for medical reasons? Isn't it a merchant's responsibility to provide a safe shopping environment? We've all accepted that cigarettes can cause lung disease so, as a result, smoking is not permitted in public places; even in Colville. But a symptom-less Covid carrier can pass the disease invisibly in the span of a short conversation. In a nut shell: A disease that kills quicker than cancer, gets a "y'all come" when proper mask wearing is ignored. * If the fallout of mask-apathy eventually causes loss of sales, slighter hours of operation or reduction in staff.. * If shoppers increasingly choose Spokane over Colville, BECAUSE IT'S SAFER and LESS EXPENSIVE.. * If Colville businesses begin to falter.. ..will those who complain of masks see any nexus to their own behaviors? America's Covid death toll now exceeds 520,000. Is a mask worn properly really so great a thing to ask? To try and lick this thing, to safeguard the healthy lungs where the next mutation would hope to flourish, we must act like we're in this together. BECAUSE WE ARE. Thursday, with the store's entry posted with reminders to mask-up and stickers on the floor telling guests to protect one another by social distancing, it was the manager and his young cashier who fell short of doing their part. My purchases at the Do-It-Center are admittedly modest. So if I buy in Spokane over Colville, to the Do-It-Center it may seem insignificant. But the impact of withdrawn dollars elsewhere in Colville is a different matter. It will be felt. Because even in the maskless face of ignorance or indifference, merchants in so small a community "are" in this together.
