Museum starts support group
BY DALE FIsI(
Over the past
20 years of so, the
Council Valley Museum
has made some
significant changes
and improvements.
After gaining the use
of most of the former
City Hall and building
a major addition, the
old system of displaying
everything in more or
less random exhibit
cases has been replaced
by exhibits that tell a
story about a specific
subject, illustrated with
artifacts. Something
like 4,000 historical
photographs have been
collected, digitally
scanned and entered
into a database. Exhibits
such as those on the
Fruit Industry, Bill
Winkler's Sheriff office
and Dr. Gerber's dentist
office have earned us
a reputation has having
one of the best small
museums to be found
anywhere.
In recent years,
grants have enabled the
addition of an exhibit
area in the basement
and the steam-powered
sawmill exhibit, both of
which took a lot of work
and money. And of
course, kind of closing
the barn door after the
horses got out, after
the tragic loss of having
16 priceless pistols
stolen, we installed
a security camera
system throughout the
building.
Even so, in recent
years the organizational
side of the museum has
been neglected. Dozens
of artifacts lie waiting to
be cataloged and stored
properly. The storage
area in the basement is
very disorganized. Old
exhibits need to be
changed to new ones, to
tell more of the dozens
of stories we could tell.
I need to take much
of the blame for this
lack of organization. It's
too often easier to just
do something myself
instead of holding a
meeting and planning as
a group. But that's not a
very good strategy for
the long term success of
the museum. We need
to get back to having
an active museum
board, plus there needs
to be a wider group to
provide encouragement,
support, and keep
things moving forward.
The main reason for
my writing this is to
organize that wider
support group. Most
museums have a news
letter in which they
keep people informed
of museum activities,
events and progress. In
this era of electronic
communication and
social media, sending
communications to
such a group has
become fairly easy and
inexpensive.
So this is the first
step in organizing a
Council Valley Museum
support group. I'm
asking anyone with
even a slight interest in
the museum's survival
to send me their email
address so that I can
start sending them a
newsletter. My email
address is dafisk@
ctcweb.net. I'm asking
those without an
email address and who
would like to receive
the newsletter by mail
to contact me at 2202
Ridge Road, Council, ID
83612. There will be no
cost to join and receive
the newsletter.
Anyone, whether you
live right in Council
or have moved far
away but want to stay
connected to this place
and it's history, is
encouraged to contact
me and get on the
mailing list. History is
one of the assets we all
share; let's pull together
to preserve it.

Trick or-Treat!
For kids, Halloween is probably
their second favorite holiday of the
year (of course, Christmas ~g
number one)! As a dentist, Halloween
is probably the scariest holiday of the
year! I don't like the idea of kids
having a big bag of candy that they can
pick out whatever they want whenever
they want. Constantly bathing teeth in
sugar will ultimately lead to tooth
decay.
I have kids that will be trick or
treating and yes, I will let them eat
some of their candy. I would like to
make a few suggestions to parents to
help them regulate when and how
much sugar their children consume
though. My first suggestion to parents
is to control the candy bag and only
occasionally give something out. It is
best to hand it out after a meal because
candy is not a healthy snack. My
second suggestion is, the day after
Halloween, let them eat everything
they want. When that day is done,
throw away anything that is left. One
day full of sugar will not ruin their
teeth, but it might make them sick and
not want candy for a while! I hope all
the kids and grown up kids have a fun
and safe Halloween!
