Christmas Shopping at the Historical Society
Have you been to the Museum Store at the Montana Historical Society?
Shopping in the Museum Store does not require an admission fee.... although you might want to spring for the fee to see the new exhibition that celebrates 100 years of Glacier National Park.
They have lots of books and unique gift items. They also have a coffee blend that is pretty tasty.
Can I recommend Montana: Stories from the Land by Krys Holmes?? It is the new Montana History book and you can order it online. It has additional textbook support available here. It really is a good read and it has a fabulous arts section..... yes, an arts section for each chapter.

Disaster Prep
My thermometer read -11 degrees this morning and the office parking lot is well-plowed but still icy in spots. I finally pulled out my real winter coat and snow boots.
In my email in-box this morning I found a nifty link from my co-worker. This is Montana's Disaster and Emergency Survival Guide. It has some good things about winter survival and travel.
As many of you know, earlier this fall my family was placed on "evacuation notice" due to a wildfire on MacDonald Pass so the section on evacuation planning will be of real importance to me. I thought we were well prepared but I can see some places for real improvement.

More Bad News.... from Ohio
October 20, 2009
Ohio Arts Council Programs on Funding Hiatus for FY2010 and 2011
International Partnership and Capacity Building on Hiatus for FY2010Arts Innovation and International Partnership on Hiatus for FY2011
Arts Access Program Accepting Applications Only on March 1 Deadline
The Ohio Arts Council (OAC) will place several programs on a funding hiatus during the FY2010/2011 biennium and reduce one program to a single deadline.
Due to the extreme economic situation in the state and nation, there have been continued reductions to the OAC’s budget. As a result the OAC needed to stretch its limited state funding, maintain services to the field and manage program activities after a 47 percent reduction in the OAC grant budget and a 40 percent reduction in OAC staffing from the beginning of the 2008/2009 biennium. The short-term solution is to place some programs on hiatus during the current biennium.
Capacity Building and International Partnerships are on hiatus for the current fiscal year 2010 (which began July 1, 2009 and ends June 30, 2010). The Capacity Building program supports established and emerging institutions to develop effective leadership, sound management practices, diverse financial resources and successful partnerships. Applications will be accepted again in FY2011 (July 1, 2010-June 30, 2011) and the online application will re-open for this program on June 1, 2010.
In addition, the Arts Innovation program will be on hiatus during FY2011. The Arts Innovation program supports organizations proposing imaginative projects that involve the production of new works of art that stretch the boundaries of conventional disciplines or forms, use unusual collaborations and program design, respond to new conditions or technologies, or promote access for new audiences in ground-breaking ways.
The International Partnership program will remain on hiatus through FY2011. The International Partnership Program provides a limited number of small grants to assist Ohio nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and universities and colleges to develop exemplary international arts projects and innovative partnerships with countries where the OAC or the state of Ohio has signed agreements or established collaborative partnership projects.
The Arts Access program will continue providing both operating and project support funding for small and emerging organizations as specified in the program's guidelines, but will accept applications at only the March 1 spring deadline rather than at both a spring and fall deadline as in recent years.
For more information about these or other OAC programs please see the OAC staff directory at http://www.oac.state.oh.us/aboutOAC/staff.asp for the appropriate contact.
