The Western Front
Every Saturday afternoon at
the Food Pavilion parking lot
on Old Fairhaven Parkway, two
brothers answer questions about
biodiesel while selling and filling
up community members' cars with
the more efficient, clean burning,
renewable fuel.
The brothers, Bellingham
residents Joshua and Justin
Clements, operate a biodiesel van
that can carry 800 gallons of B99,
which is 99 percent pure biodiesel
and 1 percent regular diesel,
Joshua Clements said.
Biodiesel is a fuel made
from oil-bearing plants such
as soybeans, recycled oils and
greases such as vegetable oil,
Justin Clements said.
Justin Clements began working
with biodiesel in 2002, when he
founded the business Bellingham
Biodiesel..
In 2004, Justin began working
with Whole Energy Fuels, which
produces the biodiesel. Joshua
Clements joined Whole Energy
Fuels in September, when the
company started the mobile unit.
Saturday marked the Clements
brothers' fourth week at the Food
Pavilion location.
The biodiesel van first dispensed
fuel for vehicles at the Bellingham
Fanner's Market in fall 2005 and
then on Ohio Street before they
decided on the Food Pavilion
location, Joshua Clements said.
"Word of mouth was how
we got customers from our last
two locations," Joshua Clements
said. "But this new location is
great because it is much more
accessible."
With a regular customer base
of approximately 200 people,
the Clements brothers said they
think biodiesel is gaining more
popularity in Bellingham because
of increasing publicity and a better

Women unite,
rally for rights

The Western Front
The International Women's Day returns to Bellingham
Wednesday at Maritime Heritage Park to continue me tradition of
the international event celebrated since 1911.
The celebration's organizers want to bring community
members' attention to issues women deal with internationally,
said Cynthia Moulds, Women's Alliance member and Western
women's study's lecturer.
"The event is important for women's solidarity all over the
world," said Jasmine Sheldon, Fairhaven College senior and
Women's Alliance intern.
The Bellingham Women's Alliance, with help from the
International Women's Day Dream Team, will sponsor the event,
Moulds said.
Celebrating a day dedicated to international women is
important for American society, Moulds said.
"I don't believe mainstream culture is generally aware of
those issues," she said. "But with the occupation in Iraq and

Theatre bows out with 19 awards
BY ASHLEY LANNEVG
The Western Front
The Kennedy Center awarded
Western's theatre department
with 19 awards in various theater
categories at the 38th annual Region
VH Kennedy Center American
College Theater Festival and at the
Northwest Drama Conference.
For one school to receive so
many awards is rare, said Deborah
Currier, assistant professor of the
theatre arts department. Although
schools in the past have won the
majority of awards in one area,
such as acting, this is the first time
a school has received top awards in
all areas of theater, from technical to
acting to scholarship, Currier said.
"This year, the judges themselves
were amazed to find out that across
the board Western had won almost
everything," Currier said.
The Kennedy Center recognized
Western theatre students as well-versed
in all aspects of theater,

Dawe said.
"Not only are our actors good,
but pur technical theatre students
are great as veil," Dawe said.
Nineteen of the 64 Western
students who participated in the
festival this year won awards in
categories including costume
design, scholarly paper contests,
acting and playwriting, said Allison
Dawe, a Fairhaven senior, who is a
double major in costume design and
