RECENTLY, I HAD an individual call me to say she was having an issue with one of her blinds – she was angry that it “wasn’t working.”

But she couldn’t tell me what the problem was or even what kind of blind it was. As I tried to get more information from her, she just got angrier. She hadn’t purchased the blind from me. It was an off-brand that didn’t carry a warranty, was over 10 years old, and was in a home she rarely visited, so it hadn’t been used for years.

Sensing her frustration, and with little information to go on, I simply asked what I could do for her. She wanted me to get someone out to her house right away to fix it. When I explained that we could certainly accommodate her, but she would be charged for a service call to come take her blind down, bring it into the shop for repair, and return to hang it back up, she yelled, “What’s the point in shopping local?” and then hung up.

What does shopping local really mean? Let’s break this down for her. Just because an individual purchased something from a local store ten years ago shouldn’t give them the right to be angry with a local shop that did not provide the product.

This individual also purchased a low-quality product, which saved her money upfront, but probably wasn’t the appropriate kind for her specific application. I’m guessing that because it was for a house she didn’t use often, she went with the cheapest when she could have purchased a product more appropriate.

So again, why shop local?? Shopping local is awesome because it’s giving you peace of mind that you are getting the exact product you need. Had she purchased from me 10 years ago, I would have asked what her expectations

LO CA L I S AW ES O M E were. Maybe we could have avoided this by getting her the right product. It’s like parking a car for 10 years and then being mad when the battery is dead. The car is still fine, maybe the battery just needs replaced.

Also, buying something local does not mean that they come to your house at your beck and call. If you purchase your car from a local dealer, you take it back to them for repairs.

If you need a tow truck to get it there, you pay someone. If it’s still under warranty, this local dealer fixes it for you. And because you developed a relationship during the purchasing process, you trust that the fix is done correctly and that your family is safe riding in it.

AFTER

Mention or bring in this ad for $100 off your laser treatment.

Let’s also break down what exactly a warranty is. A warranty is directly from the manufacturer and is honored by the local vendor. If there is a lifetime warranty on a product, the parts that are defective can be replaced at no charge to you. This does not mean that for your lifetime the person who sold you the product will come to you anytime there is a problem.

Buying local works to your advantage because it’s purchasing from trustworthy people and knowing that you are getting what you’re paying for. It’s knowing that when you walk into their place of business, you get information and knowledge on the products you are looking for and are sold quality products from a trustworthy source.

FRESH AND LOCAL HOLIDAY DÉCOR Bring the outdoors inside with freshly cut wreaths, boughs, garlands and more

BY PATTY HUTCHENS

CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, and soon the decorations will be unpacked and homes and businesses will be delighting in the holiday spirit. And nothing says Christmas more than the fresh scent of evergreens. Whether it is wreaths, swags, garland or centerpieces, the aroma fills our homes and truly puts us in the holiday spirit. For those in North Idaho, we are fortunate to have the Wreath Farm, which provides freshly cut, beautiful decorations to adorn our homes and businesses.

Josh and Natalie Thompson are owners of the Wreath Farm.

They have been helping bring the holiday spirit to others for just over a year, but the business has been around for much longer.

“We bought the business in September 2015 so this will be our second season,” said Natalie who shares that they purchased the Wreath Farm from the original owners, Travis and Julie Smith who owned it for approximately 15 years.

At the Wreath Farm, they take their freshly cut greenery and create beautiful holiday directions for your home or business.

“They are all handmade daily by experienced artisans,” said Natalie.

They collect pine cones all summer long and start to collect the greens after the first hard freeze, allowing the evergreen tips to “harden off.” And because they are local, they are fresh and made to last a long time.

“All of our products are made within a few days of being cut, so they stay fresh for a long time,” said Natalie. “The wreath I put on my door last year, I didn’t take down until March, and it was still alive and well.”

The Wreath Farm takes pride in producing sustainable evergreen products. They trim the lower branches of young trees for their boughs, avoiding having to cut them down. This year they will also team up with local tree removal companies to recycle the branches off those trees they do cut so they don’t go to waste.

Now and Then A Resale and Gift Boutique Womens, Kids, Accessories, Furniture & More... ...we have what you’re looking for!

Josh and Natalie were both born and raised in Sandpoint and love the area they call home. In addition to the Wreath Farm, they also own Thompson Quality Cut, a professional lawn care business.

They enjoy giving back to the community and donate their time to the VFW Hall by mowing their lawn and performing weed control so those at the VFW can devote their time to helping others.

In the past the family has sent boxes to troops around Christmas time through the local Beta Sigma Phi group. “I have also helped with 4-H in the past,” said Natalie, who adds that one of their employees helps collect firewood to donate to the local nonprofit, Love, Inc. “Last year we donated a truck full of wood.”

Josh and Natalie are focused on keeping the Wreath Farm small so they can ensure that they always produce the best quality of products possible and provide superior customer service to each and every customer.

The Wreath Farm’s website has an extensive display of some of their beautiful creations. They can also ship their beautiful Christmas decorations to someone on your list free of charge. Get in the holiday spirit and check them out today!

Ben not only gives all he has on the field but in the classroom as well. He has always strived to apply himself and has maintained a 4.0 GPA. And while he admits that school can sometimes be tedious, he said he does not let those times hinder his drive to learn.

Looking ahead, Ben hopes to attend Montana State University next year and study either film or history. “I adore movies and would love to produce them as a career,” said Ben. “History has been my favorite subject in high school. I find the lessons that we can learn from the past to be invaluable in bettering our society.”

Ben said that he enjoys the team dynamic that comes with soccer. “It’s amazing how my 20 teammates all have my back and I have theirs.

We have played together for many years so I can count on them on and off the field.”

His coach, Adam Tajan, said that Ben shows excellent leadership and discipline. “He’s resilient and always positive,” said Tajan.

As for Ben, he is grateful to Tajan for showing him the importance of effort.

“In soccer, it often doesn’t matter who is the most talented, but rather who works the hardest. I believe that this can transfer to the real world, because if you want results, you must put forth the time and energy,” said Ben.

DANA BEATY: AS A MEMBER of the girls’ cross-country team at Sandpoint High School, Dana Beaty is proud of what she and her teammates have accomplished.

“We all work together to strive for our goals and put everything out on the course for each other,” said Dana. “Also, without the help of two amazing coaches, Matt and Angie Brass, my training couldn’t be where it is now.”

Although she is still undecided as to where she will attend college, Dana said she would like to continue with her athletic career.

“Athletics have shaped who I am and continuing them in college is something that I have been working towards since my freshman year of high school,” she said.

Dana said she is fascinated by how the human body works and moves, and this is why she plans to pursue a career in physical therapy.

As she goes onto the next chapter in her life, Dana will look back on her high school running days with fond memories.

“The main thing that I love about my sport are my teammates,” said Dana. “When we step up to the line to compete, we realize how much we are willing to bleed for each other.”

She is also grateful to her coach Angie Brass who has taught Dana that to succeed at anything, you need to be able to put your head down and work for it.

“Angie has been an incredible role model and mentor throughout my four years of running in high school. She has helped me to become a stronger individual. She is such a strong woman, and I believe that her strength spreads throughout all of the girls on the team. Her life lessons and advice almost seem endless. The definition of our team would be so different without her.”
