Printed at WWU print plant. he sounds of Squali- cum Marina are sub­ dued; yet the activity within de­ picts brewdng anticipation. During this off season; the fishermen of Squalicum spend time repairing and preparing their vessels for the summer commercial harvest. Idle talk repeats the fi'ustration of their limitations; yet every morning; the faces return to the dock. Nets need mending; rigging fixed or replaced; and living quarters get the necessary overhaul. Time is abundant and valuable for these modern day mariners; but for many of them; the wait is grow­ ing old. BY JENNY L. BLECHA If there was a phrase to best describe Poland, it would be " it is not.' Commodities are notin the stores; the water does not work half the day in some cities; and often people wait months to acquire a car, or spend years get­ ting an apartment, Jan Witcraft explained. Witcraft, textile artist, profes­ sional weaver and former West­ ern graduate student, returned to Bellingham in December, after three months of living wdth these conditions in Warsaw. The idea for the trip was in­ spired by Jolanta Owidzka, a 55- year-old Polish weaver. Witcraft met Owddzka in 1978 while at­ tending a weavers' conference at Colorado State College. Fascin­ ated by Polish weavings at the conference and Owidzka’s slides, Witcraft established a dream—to study Polish textiles and culture. After two years of correspon­ dence, CKvidzka agreed to be­ come Witcraft's teacher and consort in Poland. They finally coordinated a time in their lives that was good for both. In September, 1980, Witcraft left Bellingham and arrived in Warsaw two days later. Coming from a small Pacific Northwest town, her first impression of this industrial city was its vast net­ work of dingy streets and buildings. ‘The streets were infrequently cleaned, the cars and streetcars were dirty, even my hands and clothes became dirty right away," she said. Contributing to this somber impression was the architecture known as ‘ Socialist Grey." The city, heavily damaged during World War II, was rebuilt in this style during the Stalin era. “The buildings are grey with MARCH 7 big columns/’ she recalled, ' and basic; they know how to live many times sculptures of with very little, she said. workers mark the front.” An "When you have rebuilt your abundance of marble used in household five times because of the buildings created a cold im­ wars and insurrections, as personal atmosphere.

  • Phyllis Lamphere
    PHYLLIS LAMPHERE During Lamphere’s 1977 campaign to become mayor, The Seattle Times described her “earthy sophistication and humor,” “highly expressive face,” and “mastery of words.” MOHAI CITY GIRL LEAVES BIG MARK innie Hagmoe was always inspiring her daughter Phyllis. Plucky and adventurous, Minnie became the breadwinner when her alcoholic husband went missing. Like Mher relatives, she worked for the City of Seattle, where her long career included dispensing licenses for the 1962 World’s Fair and procuring a truckload of pachyderm manure to fertilize her yard and grow “corn that summer as high as an elephant’s eye.” Her friend Emmett Watson joked in a Seattle Post-Intelligencer column that Minnie never learned the word “can’t.” She built much of her house herself and sewed her daughters’ clothes when she wasn’t working a second job to pay for their dance lessons. In her first retirement, Minnie ordered a new VW Beetle, picked it up in Switzerland and drove it around Europe and as far as India, often scooping up hitchhikers for companionship. Phyllis, who started dancing before kindergarten, grew tall and lithe. She swam across Lake Washington at 11, with her father rowing alongside. She won a scholarship to Barnard College in New York where she soaked up Broad- way plays, music at Harlem’s Apollo Theater and modern dance studying under Martha Graham. Tragedy cut in on enchantment. Her father died a vagrant while she was in college. She was widowed at 22, five months after marrying an Army officer. But like her mother, Phyllis didn’t stand still.
