We did this through a variety of programming and events as well as through making some minor changes to the Museum. The museum has also been a big part of promoting and partnering with the Mayor’s Committee on Truth and Reconciliation and the Arts, Culture & Heritage committee initiatives. The Oral History Interviews that were conducted in 2014 have been digitized, edited and converted to an IPad for visitors to sit back and listen to. More interviews have been conducted by Arts, Culture & Heritage Committee member Jennifer Hancharuk and have been edited and added to the collection. Some of these interviews were also edited further so they can be used in the Bush Plane Exhibit this past summer. The museum staff are working away at planning a major overhaul with inventory and database organization, the purpose of this project is to ensure everything is accounted for and included in the museum’s collections database program. This will allow for better use and management of the collection. This year to tie in with the Mayor’s proclamation that 2017 is a Year of Truth and Reconciliation for Sioux Lookout. The museum hasMuseum promoted educational events News surrounding the topic of the Residential Schools system. We’ve hosted a variety of educational film viewings, and exhibits that are related to the topic of Truth and Reconciliation. We are never short of things to do and look forward to continuing to protect, preserve and promote our local history and culture with the community and our visitors. 5 Past Museum & Cultural Events March-May- Conversational Italian Classes.

Therefore, I am using this plat- form to address some issues that have come to my attention. Since the cost for out-of-town memberships to our Senior Center went up in January 2020, there have been a few miscon- ceptions that have come to my attention. First and foremost, the one rumor that I would definitely like to address is the story going around that the Prospect Town Council raised the dues of our out-of-town members because they are trying to “get rid” of the non-residents that come here. The story goes that the Town Council is trying to keep our Senior Center strictly for Prospect residents only. Nothing could be further from the truth. I value the out-of-town members who come here. I feel they have contributed significantly to the growth of our Senior Center. Many of these members run programs here and volun- teer in a number of different capacities. They are my lifeline and help me in ways that I could never repay them for. I and the Town Council members would never want to “get rid” of them. I will tell you point blank why the Town Council decided to raise membership dues for out- of-town members.

  • What in the World Wednesday #5? Wray Museum Young Historians Fancy Eggs
    What in the World Wednesday #5? Wray Museum Young Historians Fancy Eggs #2000.395.16 Collection of 25 handcrafted “Boutique” Egg Dioramas The month of May is national egg month and what better way to celebrate the egg then with a miniature diorama. Thelma Maureen (Funk) Schmidt enjoyed crafting even though she suffered greatly from crippling arthritis. She made bread dough dolls, and sewed doll clothing. At the Wray Museum we have a collection of 25 fancy egg dioramas. Each charming miniature is planned and hand-built with incredible attention to detail. By using all types of traditional and some not so traditional crafting supplies, she created a variety of scenes inside her eggs including Native Americans, covered wagons, farm homesteads, gardens, and holidays. She won many grand champions and best of show ribbons at the local and Colorado State Fairs. Her collection of eggs was donated by Frances Smith. Eggery the Art of Egg-Crafting The humble eggshell, which in most homes ends up in the garbage can, is the basic working material of a devoted and enthusiastic group of crafts people. Using a variety of craft techniques, these egg-crafters, egg artists, or eggers, transform ordinary eggshells into charming ornaments. The outside (and sometimes, the inside) of the shell is decorated with tiny jewels or beads, by decoupage techniques, by gilding or etching, and even by embroidering. Although they are most often used purely for decoration, they can also be functional items such as jewelry boxes, fancy pendants, brooches, toothpick holders and tiny vases. Many egg-crafters use their decorated eggs as tree ornaments, table toppers, or give them as gifts.

  • Trashmagination Podcast #83 – Egg Shells and Cartons
    Trashmagination Podcast #83 – Egg Shells and Cartons Welcome to Trashmagination, a podcast about reimagining trash. I’m Carla Brown. Today we’ll talk about the creative reuse of egg shells and cartons. My family puts egg shells in the compost and we give our egg cartons to a local farmer who reuses them. We also sometimes rip up our egg cartons and throw them in the composter if it’s getting too wet in there. If you want to keep it simple, those are great options. But today I’ll share a bunch of other ways to creatively reuse egg shells and cartons. Egg Shells Creative Reuse Let’s start with ideas unrelated to making art. In the kitchen, you can grind up egg shells to scrub pots. You can also use egg shells to clean a glass bottle that you can’t reach inside. You crunch up the egg shells, add soapy water and swirl it around to scour the inside of the bottle. You can make sidewalk chalk from ground-up egg shells mixed with flour [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r07- m70t34A]. You mix it into a thick clay, roll it into logs, and then wrap it in a towel or dry it in a silicone mold. You can grow baby plants in egg shells [https://www.hellowonderful.co/post/diy-eggshell-planters/]. You can also put crunched up egg shells in your garden to discourage slugs and snails from eating your plants. So now let’s talk about ways people make art and craft from egg shells.

Jackie: But fantastic, lovely chocolate on the outside with white and yellow inside so it looks just like an egg when you open it. Richard: Mmm, very sweet. Jackie: Mmm, very nice.

Where does the time go? It just flies by the older I get! Someone once said the reason time seems to go so fast the older you get is be- cause when you’re young, a day is a larger portion of your total life. When you’re older, a day is a smaller por- tion of your total life. Does that make sense? I suppose what’s important is how old you feel. I’m still feeling forty…so that’s good. I’ll take it! It’s February and we have two events I’d like to tell you about. February 15 is our annual “Night to Linger” at Hackney’s Restaurant in Palos Park. This event is a kickoff fundraiser for our 2018 camp scholarship fund. All proceeds will help children from families in our area who are struggling to make ends meet financially. If a family qualifies for financial assistance, we will help them with a partial or full scholarship so their child can come to camp just like any other child. The Center and its fellowship have provided this caring assistance for over seventy years.

Here, she welds old, steel farm implements into birds. She counts cranes, storks, cuckoos and doves among her favorite birds to paint.
