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.

I was beginning to think I'd be out of luck up here but we came across the Country Store and found exactly what we needed and then some. The place is spread out with sections to cover just about everything;clothes, tack, feed, pet.... All with plenty of selection and friendly folks to help you find what you're looking for. Prices are reasonable - we found pet beds on sale (at prices even the big box store couldn't beat!), tshirts (also on sale), mineral blocks.... Yes, we're happy we found the Country Store and are eager to return.
