Marine Science Lecture Series: TRACKER DOGS: SAVING KILLER WHALES 7 p.m. at Camp Orkila Marine Science Center on Orcas Island. We all can picture tracker dogs saving earthquake victims in Haiti, but saving killer whales? Get real! Katherine Ayres, a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Washington's Center for Conservation Biology will explain how and why she is using tracker dogs to save endangered southern resident killer whales.
Ayres uses whale scat to measure the health of individual whales and to ultimately assess the health of the overall population. But finding whale poop in the wild is not easy. That's were a trained scat detection dog can be a big help. Just like tracker dogs that can be trained to detect live people under rubble or cocaine packed inside of a can of gasoline; they too can be trained to detect killer whale feces floating on the water at great distances. Ayers will talk about how detection dogs are being used and what valuable information can be gained from the scat, which unlike blubber biopsies, is collected without impacting already endangered animals.
The Marine Science Lecture Series was created to inspire the general public and to highlight the amazing fish and wildlife of our region. Lectures are free. Please park in the upper parking lot at Camp Orkila. Shuttle service from the parking lot to the talk is available before and after the lecture.
The 2009/10 Marine Science Lecture Series is presented by program partners The SeaDoc Society and YMCA Camp Orkila. It is made possible through generous sponsorship by Tom Averna (Deer Harbor Charters), and The Gould Family Foundation and co-sponsorship by Barbara Brown, Eclipse Charters, The Kingfish Inn, Shearwater Sea Kayak Tours, West Sound Marina and Jim and Kathy Youngren.
The SeaDoc Society is a non-profit program of the Wildlife Health Center, a center of excellence at the world-renowned UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12, 2010
HOW THE WRITERS and ARTISTS OF THE "LOST GENERATION IGNITED THE 20th CENTURY
6:30 p.m. San Juan Island Library, free. Inquiring Mind lecturer Janee Baugher discusses how post-war 1920s Paris played host to America's "lost generation." American writers who felt disillusioned and culturally bereft in their native country chose to escape growing U.S. conservatism by relocating abroad. The lecture will explore this community of international thinkers that included James Joyce and Pablo Picasso, American novelists F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein, poets T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. The relationships formed in this artistic hub launched careers and artistic work that defied past conventions, resulting in the birth of such artistic movements as Dadaism and Surrealism.

This class is one of two required by the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife in order to be certified to help in the event of an oil spill. The focus will be HAZWOPER (Hazardous Materials Operations & Emergency Response) and will provide training for wildlife rescue and spill containment responders, including an oil spill scenario, all the logistics involved in a response in San Juan County and the many ways you can help during a spill.
Class size is limited (and our last class a few weeks ago filled up) so please call IOSA at 378-5322 to register. Please help IOSA with our commitment to do everything we can to protect this precious place in the middle of the Salish Sea -- come to the class and learn how you can help.
IOSA offers spill responder training several times a year so if you can't make it to this class, let us know your mailing and email address and we'll make sure you're notified of upcoming trainings.
