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

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
