Museum manager Jim Spangelo talks to Canadian tourists Larry Jamecke and George Plaksey about Havre history Wednesday in the H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum. The Hill County Government is looking for applicants to fill two slots on the county board that oversees the Clack Museum and the Wahkpa Chu'gn Buffalo Jump.
Editor's note: After this story was printed, H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum Board Director Judi Dritshulas contacted the Havre Daily to say the vacancies on the board were filled shortly after they became open. The museum board has no vacancies.
The H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum Board has two vacancies and will be taking suggestions for board membership until Sept. 15.
"The appointment to the museum board will be made after that," a press release says.
Hill County Commission Chair Mike Wendland said the positions were vacated by Gary Wilson, who died last year, and Thomas Huether, who moved to Missoula, also last year.
Wendland said there is no job description for a board member, but the position should go to someone who is interested in history, especially local history. Board members will also be expected to attend the one meeting a month. Wendland said even that is not written in stone.
"Sometimes, it ends up being more than one meeting a month," Wendland said.
One of the Museum Board's latest areas of focus has been preparing the Griggs Printing building on the 400 Block of 1st Street to one day house the museum.
The Clack Museum is located in Holiday Village Mall.
The museum board also oversees the operation of the Wahkpa Chu'gn Buffalo Jump archaeological site on the bluff north of Holiday Village Mall.
The current board members are Judi Dritshulas, David Sageser, Alison Hecker, Val Hickman and Eli Salapich. For further information, contact the Hill County Commission at 265-5481, ext. 227.
