Ca ll 800-781-3211 to su b scrib e ILWACO, WASHINGTON — The Community Historian Project is entering its sixth year at the Columbia Pacific Heri- tage Museum. The project’s goal is to develop a cohesive group of knowledgeable peo- ple who can be called upon for information, and who can become a heritage resource to their communities. We do this by providing participants with unique opportunities to learn local history, through access and exposure to his- torical experts, topics, sites and research. The deadline to apply for the project is Friday, Dec. 29. The 2018 Community Historian Project will meet 9:30 a.m. to noon each Wednesday from Jan. 10 through April 18. Each session is made up of expert guest speakers, tours and demonstrations. Participants are encouraged to develop a personal project that can be researched during the course. “This is not a lecture series,” Museum Director Betsy Millard said. “CHP is more of a seminar course, with two-hour interactive presentations. It is designed to enable participants to iden- tify their area of interest and give them the tools that they need to discover answers to their historical questions.” After five years the pro- gram has graduated 56 partici- pants. Forty different experts in their fields have presented to the group, with new lecturers added each year. The program has been cited by the Washington Museum Association for its excellence, and the American Association of State and Local History has included it as a model for their national initiative. For more information and to get an application for the project, contact the museum (115 S.E. Lake St., Ilwaco, Washington) at 360-642- 3446. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free on Thursdays. Visit columbiapacificheriatgemu- seum.org. Continued from Page 3 not because they were suddenly replaced by su- perior beliefs but because I realized that my reasons for adopting them in the first place were indefen- sible. The pursuit of truth requires brave, brutal hon- esty, not just with others — about, for example, the limits of our understand- ing — but with ourselves. One useful question: How would you know if your most cherished beliefs are wrong? If you can’t answer that question — what the world would look like if your beliefs were falsified — you haven’t given your beliefs enough thought. ‘THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH REQUIRES BRAVE, BRUTAL HONESTY.’ In this spirit of honesty, I had to finally admit to myself I would probably not have been successful as a professional philos- opher. (More than one faculty adviser helped me see this.) My aptitudes, I decided, lie elsewhere. Chenjeri and Grewe’s presentation captured what attracted me to philoso- phy: a need to live in a more honest, introspective world, surrounded by people devoted to the same cause — a need to learn, ask questions, spur public discussion and do my part to make our lot a little easier to understand. I like to think that, by getting into this game, I didn’t fall too far afield. And behind almost every decision I make, at work and in life, is a voice asking: What would a philosopher do? CW
