I wanted to say a quick “thank you” to our local businesses for all they do. We all gripe about how expensive everything is here, and how we could buy the same item online, or in a big box retail store much cheaper. I recently had an experience that I hope will encourage everyone to buy locally, and keep our hard earned dollars in our community. Last summer/fall I bought a flashlight from a local business.

I wish to comment on your article in the latest edition of the IR. I believe reports are spot on, as far as what is going on, and what will continue to happen.
