OVERVIEW:illuminating local history
One of the basic benefits of civilization is that we can see and know more,collectively, than we can see and know individually. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is the physical reality that we do not get to live long enough to see, let alone understand, the long term effects of our actions as they unfold over time. In an attempt to overcome the limitations of our short lives, people have created libraries and archives, in which history can be stored and stories saved.
We all know that "history" is really just "his story" - the story told and recorded after the fact, by the survivor(s) and that there may well be a lot of critical information that was lost in translation. Someone else's story. Failures. Ideas that were tried but that did not acheive the desired objective. Whole collections of field notes that were lost, or simply not published.
So the idea of this WIKI is to provide a chance to collectively expose what we have individually uncovered in our local history to illustrate our ituation.
And since it is interactive, it provides a chance for each of us to show one another what we have found useful in the facts and fictions that we have collected.

The challenges are obvious: there is no public water system, no public sewer system or treatment facility, and now that the timber business is in retreat, there is really very little money icirculating n these communities
And the infrastructure requirements of constructing ublic water and sewer systems are substantial.
|
The greatest opportunity appears to be in human capital - relatively young populations
