Maureen Cooke takes a call from a cable news reporter about her recreational marijuana sales license, one of the first issued in Washington. Her Bayview store was empty because she could not find a supplier.
SOUTH WHIDBEY POT SHOP GETS GREEN LIGHT State gives first license to Langley pub owner By BEN WATANABE South Whidbey Record A South Whidbey entrepreneur became the first person with a license to sell recreational marijuana in Washington this week. The process was arduous and the startup costly, but Maureen Cooke, owner of Mo’s Pub and Eatery in Langley, was the first name on the state’s list of approved sellers released Monday, July 7. Yet for all the hurdles jumped, money spent and time invested into Cooke’s newest venture, Whidbey Island Cannabis Company, she’ll have to bide her time a bit longer as the wait for something to sell continues and delayed a grand opening planned for Tuesday. Her store is ready. She just needs the pot. “I’m gonna feel better once I have some product in here,” Cooke said. “...It’s all money out with nothing coming in.” Cooke said she hopes to have buds, oils and tincture for sale by Friday. There will not be edibles, such as pot brownies or weed cookies, because the state is not allowing them yet. Prices were not known as of press time. Washington voters approved Initiative
502, which legalized recreational marijuana consumption and possession up to one ounce, in November 2012. It has taken the Washington State Liquor Control Board nearly 18 months to set out the rules and process applications for the production, distribution and sale — three distinct parts of the business. Cooke’s store represents the third step: retail. Her shop is about 875 square feet in a small strip of storefronts in Bayview on Kramer Road. On Monday, she first learned she had received one of Island County’s four allotted retail licenses. But the short notice for licensed growers a few weeks ago did not allow much time for them to harvest enough marijuana — product, as Cooke refers to it — for all 24 stores that were licensed in the first wave of issuances. “We all know you don’t grow marijuana in three weeks,” Cooke said. Inside, the short rectangular space for customers seems more like a pharmacy than some kind of smoke den or even a liquor store. Several stanchions will direct customers to one of two digital cash registers. Because federally-insured
banks are leery to open accounts with marijuana businesses, still a banned substance according to the U.S. government, Cooke’s store can only operate with cash. Cameras are in each corner inside and outside. All told, 15 cameras record every movement, day and night, as a security measure. The more obvious protection includes gated windows and doors. Behind the glass counter that fully separates customers from employees are three safes, and in a back room is a fourth safe, of which Cooke was mighty proud.
Waiting on the impact For all the nationwide interest in Washington’s pot legalization, on South Whidbey people remained mostly mum and curious. The only next door neighbor is restaurant El Corral, whose family owners were ambivalent about its presence. The Bayview area’s leader, Goosefoot Community Fund, was mostly interested in having an additional busiSEE POT, A9
Prosecutors charged the chief nursing officer at Whidbey General Hospital last week with assaulting a patient. Linda Gipson, 62, is facing a single count of assault in the fourth degree, a gross misdemeanor charge. The criminal charge was filed July 2 in Island County District Court. Coupeville Marshal Rick Norrie investigated the case. In his report, he wrote that Gipson fired one of the nurses who was an alleged witness and another employee expressed fear of retaliation if she spoke out. Whidbey General administration is standing by Gipson this week. Hospital spokeswoman Trish Rose said in a written statement that Whidbey General conducted an internal investigation and concluded the allegations are without merit. “Dr. Gipson has over 30 years of experience and has cared for thousands of patients,” Rose said in her written statement. “This is the first time she has ever been accused of any inappropriate behavior toward any patient.” Because the administration believes that Gipson is innocent of any wrongdoing, she is currently on the job, according to Rose. “Whidbey General is confident that Dr. Gipson will continue to perform her duties as chief nursing officer and her good work in support of community health,” Rose wrote. “Dr. Gipson has been active improving access to safe and quality health care as well as improving mental health services for island residents.” Rose also said that Gipson did not technically fire a nurse in connection with the allegations. The nurse worked for a nursing agency, not the hospital. The Nursing Commission, which is under the state Department of Health, is also conducting an investigation. Norrie wrote that Gipson and the hospital’s security officer first called 9-1-1 dispatch to report that an unruly patient had assaulted a nurse May 13, but Gipson herself ended up being investigated for allegedly assaulting the same patient. Gipson claimed in her 9-1-1 call that the nurse was assaulted seven hours earlier and that the nurse was being X-rayed in the emergency room, Norrie wrote. A few minutes after Gipson’s call, a man called 9-1-1 to report that a different nurse, SEE NURSE, A9

Domestic Violence Affects Us All
WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM
Guillemot surveys are important reminders
A
t this time last year, most of us were excitedly planning for summer vacations, home improvement projects and BBQs. But for three Washington women – Sheila Asselin, Brenda Lee Bail and Amanda Blanchard –July brought an end to all those things. Last July, Sheila, 57, was killed by her husband. Brenda Lee, 48, was strangled by her fiancé. Amanda, 41, was killed by her fiancé days before her wedding. All three were victims of domestic violence. In 2013, 35 people in Washington – including three children – were killed as a result of domestic violence. Thousands more endure daily verbal, physical and sexual abuse. Domestic violence touches more people than you may realize including children and men. Some are able to break away from the destructive cycle, but too many often die trapped in it. Deciding to leave is one of the most risky and terrifying decision most victims will ever make. It’s a decision some victims will only get to make once. Imagine picking up the phone and making a call to someone you hope can provide a safe place to flee and being told there’s no room. That’s the reality for tens of thousands of victims every day.
That’s why supporting or-
ganizations like the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence is so important. They make sure victims have a safe place to turn and provide important prevention tools for teaching our sons and daughters how to develop healthy relationships, training ourselves to identify signs of abuse among our coworkers, friends and family, and helping abusers break the cycle. I’ve seen how much of a difference every dollar makes for groups like WSCADV. Their Refuse To Abuse 5k is an easy way to raise awareness and resources for an organization that provides a lifeline to thousands of families every year. If you can’t join the 5k, I encourage you to learn more about identifying the signs of DV and how to help. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is a 24-hour resource to keep handy if you know someone in danger – 800.799.7233. Trudi Inslee First Lady of Washington State
WHIDBEY BIRDING Frances Wood Summer time and the living is easy, well at least for us humans. It’s the most demanding month for our avian friends. Eggs have hatched, babies are begging for food and their predators are looking for their own dinner. While we lounge on the beach, pigeon guillemots are busy finding and delivering small fish to their young, sequestered in burrows high
up on our steep erosional bluffs. If you’ve spent any time walking the beaches around Whidbey, you’ve likely encountered these black seabirds with white wing patches and fire engine red feet. They are the only seabird species regularly breeding in Puget Sound, and about 1,000 of them select our beaches and bluffs for their 3-4 month breeding season, May through August. Volunteers from Whidbey’s Guillemot Research Group keep close tabs on the 25 colonies of guillemots that breed here. This summer marks the 10th season of the group’s breeding bird survey, a research project supported by Whidbey Audubon and the Island County Marine Resources Committee. The survey is also supported by Ott & Murphy winery, which dedicated its Mutiny Bay Red to increase awareness of the guillemots.

Above, several pigeon guillemots land in the water. Below, a pair rest in Keystone. An image of the bird graces the label and the winery has donated $1 of each bottle sold to the guillemot project. This summer, nearly 60 volunteers, myself included, will spend one hour each week settled at selected beaches while we monitor the birds. Rain, fog, cold or wind won’t keep these citizen scientists from their tasks. In the early morning, we will walk the beach to the steep erosional bluffs and quietly settle into our observation locations. Then we’ll act like a piece of driftwood, so as not to disturb the birds by our presence. First, we take a population count to find out how many birds are in the water, on the beach and sitting near their burrows. We’ll watch the birds as they fly toward the bluff and enter the burrows. If a bird disappears inside the burrow we determine that the burrow is occupied/ active. Likely, the eggs are being incubated during this time. Once the chicks hatch, the activity escalates and the parents begin to deliver small, whole fish to the burrows. Usually the parents sit on the water near the bluffs for several minutes with the prey in their beaks so we can identify the type of fish being fed to the young. Then the birds take flight, gain altitude and beeline to their burrows. They drop the fish inside the burrow and then fly back to the water to fish for more provisions. Usually the prey are gunnels or sculpin, but we have also recorded sole, perch and cod. This year, we are on the
lookout for any ratfish that are delivered to the young. We also record any disturbances to the birds. The most common are eagles cruising along the bluffs and beach walkers, particularly those with dogs off leash. Data from the last 10 years indicate that the number of guillemots is holding strong and that approximately 35 percent of the birds successfully fledge either one or two young. Why is it important to study these particular birds? First, because we can. Whidbey is smack dab in the middle of the largest population of guillemots in our state. Our open beaches allow our volunteers access to observe the burrows and the bird’s activities. In much of their range the birds breed in rocky cliffs or offshore islands with no way, other
than boats, to study them. Second, guillemots are near the top of the food chain and give us an indication of the health of the waters around our island. They feed their young exclusively on benthic fish that they capture in our waters. And third, these birds are lovable, watchable wildlife. Their playful antics and joyful vocalizations engage us. Watching these birds reminds us of the importance of keeping our beaches and our bluffs clean and healthy. Come fall we will analyze and distribute the results from this summer’s survey. Preliminary reports show we are right on track for another successful breeding season for these charming seabirds. Frances Wood can be reached at wood@whidbey. com.

County plans speed study to address resident concerns By JANIS REID South Whidbey Record Speed limits on roads throughout the county will be examined in a study this fall in response to petitions filed by residents. The speed study, which occurs annually according to need, will respond to resident requests for reduced speed limits and, in a couple of cases, speed increases. Through a $1.5 million county road improvement grant, the county has begun posting speed limit signs on roads throughout the county that have previously been unmarked, according to Connie Bowers, assistant county engineer at Island County Public Works. These signs have been placed on North Whidbey and Camano Island, but the county is still in the process of placing signs on unmarked roads on South and Central Whidbey. The default speed of these rural roads is 50 miles per hour. Some of this year’s petitioners were not aware of the speed limit on these roads and are requesting they be reduced, Bowers said. Public Works was given approval this month by Island County commissioners. The road segments the depart-

• Juniper Beach Drive — Smith Road to Highway 532 • Hunt Road — Crescent Harbor Road to Fakkema Road • Engle Road – Coupeville town limits to Fort Casey Road • Terry Road — Coupeville town limits to a half-mile east There are also two segments where the county will consider a possible increase in the speed limit: • Smugglers Cove Road — Highway 525 to Lagoon Point Road • Bayview Road — Highway 525 to Ewing Road Once the data is collected, Island County Public Works staff will formulate recommendations for the speed limit on each road segment, according to Island County Traffic Engineer Spencer Keane. The engineering recommendations will be presented to the Board of Commissioners for further review and discussion. If the board agrees to move forward with the proposed changes to the speed limits, ordinances to change county code will be drafted and a public hearing will be scheduled.

FREELAND Alarms prevent Aerie burglary A burglar was apparently thwarted by an alarm while trying to break into the Eagles Aerie on South Whidbey on Independence Day, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office. An employee at the club came to work Saturday morning to find that the central junction box on the outside of the building was open and the phone lines were pulled out. Plywood that was covering a window was also pried off, according to Undersheriff Kelly Mauck. Deputies investigated, but couldn’t find any evidence that an intruder had been inside the building. “They surmised that the alarm scared them off,” he said. A burglar successfully broke into the club in February, but deputies arrested a suspect with the help of video from a security camera.
FIRE/EMS Thompson Road sale pushed back South Whidbey Fire/
EMS Chief Rusty Palmer will update fire commissioners Thursday, July 10, on the closing sale of the district’s 19.3-acre property on Thompson Road near the South Whidbey Tilth Farmers Market. The meeting will be at the Freeland fire station on Cameron Road at 5:30 p.m. The site was originally purchased in 2001 as two parcels for $236,000. Palmer had a buyer set and a closing date in late June for about $189,000 — a $47,000 loss. The closing date bumped out to after July 16 because the buyer needed more time to sort paperwork for mineral rights for the two different parcels, Palmer said. Originally, the property was planned to be the new Bayview station and district headquarters. A more suitable site was found on Bayview Road after the Thompson Road residents told the district they did not want a station built near them. Closely tied to the Thompson Road property is an update on the district’s proposed new Bayview station and administration office. The district expects to hear from its engineering and design firm on updated cost estimates of the combined station/office. “We’re still working on that initial open-scale plan so we can throw it
out and see what people say,” Palmer said of the plan’s public presentation. Several work bids will be awarded at the meeting, including septic inspection and service, annual overhead door maintenance, painting of a few stations, heating and air conditioning upgrades to two stations, and property contour surveys at two stations. An old vehicle is set to be surplussed as well, a 1998 Chevrolet ambulance truck. The Freeland station volunteers will have to get their fitness elsewhere, as the district is selling its Paramount Fit 5000 weight bench. Palmer said the district’s health and wellness committee is identifying which exercises and workout machines are best suited for firefighters and emergency medical technicians. He cited the example of using an elliptical over a treadmill to build endurance rather than strength. “If it doesn’t make us more fit for our job, it doesn’t belong in the fire station,” he said.
Simple marine rescues required A pair of relatively simple marine rescues were needed over the July 4 weekend. South Whidbey Fire/ EMS was called out to
several incidents on the water, but was only needed for a response to two. Neither incident had reported injuries, said Chief Rusty Palmer. “We were very thankful,” he said. One of the saves was at Freeland Park just off the dock. Some people fell in the water, about 4 1/2 feet to 5 feet deep, and their boat flipped over. Palmer said the district righted the boat and made sure the people got out of Holmes Harbor OK. When the fire district was called to the scene, Palmer was unaware how close it was to shore. “We didn’t realize it was at the dock,” Palmer said. A boat with a dead motor and no anchor was also towed to safety off Camano Head. Since the district’s 32-foot fire and marine response catamaran entered service in late May, it has responded to seven marine calls.
SCHOOLS

In a meeting June 25, the school board discussed proposed spending allocations for the coming school year including potential additions to high school class offerings and districtwide technology equipment purchases. At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 9 in the South Whidbey elementary school community room, the school board will meet to discuss the budget. Board members will also discuss a proposed revision of the substitute teacher employment policy including longterm substitute teachers’ pay schedule and the policy regarding employment of retired teachers as substitutes, amending this section to include the board’s statement of adherence to the rules dictated by the Washington State Retirement System.

joined forces with Whatcom and Skagit counties to bring more affordable housing options to the region. Island County commissioners agreed last
month to become part of the HOME Investment Partner Program, an organization that will collectively become eligible for grants issued through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to Catherine Reid, Island County housing program coordinator. “This can provide rental assistance or the development of affordable housing, meeting our goals of ending homelessness,” Reid said. Reid said the HOME group will make their application in the coming months and should be eligible for funding next year. Skagit County will serve as lead agency, but an advisory committee will be created with representatives from all participating counties and municipalities which includes Langley, Coupeville and Oak Harbor. The program can fund a wide range of activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income people. HOME is the largest federal block grant to state and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-income households.

Editor’s column South End July 4 events were awesome
By JUSTIN BURNETT
The United States turned 238 this past Friday and, man, does South Whidbey know how to celebrate. We’re like countless other communities across the country in that we hold events on the Fourth of July, a day marking the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Also known as Independence Day, it’s a chance to reflect on the birth of our country, to break away from our daily lives and really think about where we came from and what it means to be an American. Everyone meditates on this a little differently: some spend the time remembering the sacrifices of fallen warriors; others ponder the country’s direction and what our future holds; and a few no doubt give praise to Big Macs, expensive leather handbags and all things free enterprise with a day of shopping. But for most, I suspect, it’s simply a chance to enjoy a day of rest in the company of family and friends. It’s a day of togetherness, a day of freedom, and in this regard South Whidbey shines. Celebrate America in Freeland kicked things off Thursday, July 3, with an afternoon of family activities, great food and live music. The 20th annual event was concluded, as it is every year, with an awesome fireworks display over Holmes Harbor that earned countless “oohs” and “ahhs” from bystanders and a handsome image for Saturday’s front page to boot. To the South Whidbey Assembly of God, the church that organizes Celebrate America, and all those who donated cash to pay the bills, thank you. It was a wonderful event, the result of a job well done. The following day, on the Fourth of July, Maxwelton held its annual parade for the 99th time. Perhaps it’s the location, the sunshine — which always seems to be shining — or the energy of the crowd, but this is one of my favorite events of the year. Covering it is always a pleasure because everywhere you look people are smiling and having a good time. Families line both sides of Maxwelton Road from Swede Hill Road to Dave Mackie Park, kids dash here and there for candy, and the parade entries are fun, imaginative and open to all regardless of their message, exemplifying the very freedom that is the spirit of Independence Day. This year was no exception; the parade was fantastic, the turnout impressive, and the foot races that followed a great time. I ran into friends, debated the merits about the latest plan for management of the Island County Fairgrounds, shared some laughs and went home with a warm heart. Again, thank you to all those who put on this wonderful event. It reminded me of the liberty I so often take for granted, but more specifically of the value of family, friends and community. Here’s to another 238 years.

Letters Signs
Freeland Highway 525 road signs are dangerous Editor, While I was driving south out of Freeland recently, I noticed someone had put up a string of signs on the side of the highway right where the speed changes from 45 to 55 mph. What I read on them astounded me. The signs, and whoever put them up, are encouraging people to drive 10 mph under the speed limit. While I understand that people want drivers to slow down a bit, this is just ridiculous. Telling drivers to go 45 in a 55 zone is just as dangerous as telling drivers to go 65 in a 55 zone. Instead of driving with the flow of traffic, you have now become the cause of a bottleneck. There is a sign that I see frequently on the island, the one that reads “Delay of 5 vehicles illegal.” What that means is, the minute your slow driving backs
up more than four cars, you need to take some time to pull off on to the shoulder or into a parking lot to allow the line of cars to pass. The other thing we have a fair number of are slow vehicle lanes. They have signs posted that read, “Slower traffic keep right.” And guess what? You’re now “slower traffic,” so you need to put your blinker on and pull into that lane and allow traffic to pass. Just because driving slow may make you feel like a saint, it doesn’t make you above the law. While I don’t advocate speeding, driving slow isn’t going to solve any problems. In fact, it may cause more problems than it solves. Road rage will become an even bigger problem than it is now, which can cause collisions with other cars or property. Being a safe driver does not mean driving slow. Being a safe driver means paying attention to your surroundings no matter what speed you’re driving, so that you can react in the best possible way in the event of an emergency.

If the Navy left, Oak Harbor would slowly die Editor, I have a message for the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve people: Be careful what you wish for. I remember that, a number of years ago, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station was on the Navy’s base closure list. It seems as though a lot of people had a different view
WWW.SOUTHWHIDBEYRECORD.COM
of the situation then. Now, unfortunately, I wish it would happen. Except for big chain stores like Walmart, Home Depot and a few fast-food restaurants, Oak Harbor would die a slow death and blow away like an old, dry leaf. If you keep whining and harassing the Navy about its training flights at Outlying Field Coupeville, they might just say to heck with it, who needs the constant whining from the public? Certainly not the Navy. I’m sure the Navy could relocate all of its squadrons and personnel stationed there to another city that would welcome them with open arms. I would feel sorry for the true residents of Oak Harbor, those who welcome the Navy’s presence, and all the small businesses that would fail. But go ahead and keep whining at them, but be careful what you wish for. FRED BECKER Freeland
Response letter was confusing and misleading Editor, I am writing in response to a letter printed in the
June 28 edition of the South Whidbey Record. The letter, submitted by COER leader Paula Spina, is confusing and misleading. Ms. Spina claims that COER is “neither seeking nor advocating the closing of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station,” yet she also claims that one of COER’s missions is “the relocation of all Growler training out of the North Puget Sound Area.” Such a relocation of so many aircraft would surely close the naval air station. So, keep the base open, but take actions that would close it? You can’t have it both ways. Then we come to Spina’s defense of COER President Michael Monson, whose actions have become so extreme and aggressive that a restraining order has been filed to keep him away from a South Whidbey Realtor. This would be the Mr. Monson who barges into a Congressman’s meeting, demands an agenda change, calls a Realtor a snake, grabs the realtor’s hand and refuses to let go. That Spina defends Mr. Monson is puzzling enough, but her arguments become even more confusing when she says, “Neither Monson nor the COER ever

penalty for a first-time offense and, given the numbers, it seems this could add up to a significant amount of money for these jurisdictions. The Whidbey Island newspapers could investigate the ongoing statistics for this infraction and promote safer driving. As an additional deterrent, is it possible for insurance companies to begin to make insurance null and void if the driver is found to be on a hand-held cell phone at the time of an accident? Police officers have many important and demanding functions. It seems, however, greater enforcement of this law could be done at almost any/all times without compromising other legitimate duties. Not only would this bring in significant monies, but most importantly it would likely save many lives.

Softball sluggers hammer way into All-Stars state

The 9/10-year-old All-Stars of Central/South Whidbey are headed to Asotin in southeast Washington for the state Little League tournament. They won all three of their District 11 games by 10 or more runs. Whidbey Island will be represented at the 9/10-year-old softball Little League All-Stars state tournament this weekend in Asotin, Wash. A team of players from Central and South Whidbey’s Little Leagues combined to smash
through the District 11 tournament. Through three games, the All-Stars won by no fewer than 10 runs — 22-5 over North Whidbey, 13-3 over Sedro-Woolley, 16-6 over South Skagit — at the Community Park fields in Langley last week. The team’s 16-6 win against
South Skagit secured the trip to the state tournament, which begins Saturday, July 12. Gaining the state berth was a team effort, said coach Lark Gustafson. “There were many stars,” Gustafson said. Two players on the team were

The big inning started with four consecutive singles by Hope Lodell, Lauren Rose, Katrina McGranahan and Sarah Wright.

Island County had four allotments, with only one designated for a specific location in Oak Harbor city limits. The liquor control board received four applications from Island County: one on Camano Island, one in Oak Harbor, one in Freeland and one from Cooke. In theory, should the other three pass state regulators’ muster, they will also be able to set up shop. Lucas Jushinski, owner of a non-profit medical marijuana dispensary in Freeland, also applied to run a recreational marijuana store. Citing all of the issues Cooke has faced, particularly in procuring product, he decided to wait and see what comes of the first six months or year of operation.
ness and seeing how it would pan out. “We welcome new businesses … I don’t see it as a big problem,” said Sandy Whiting, executive director of the nonprofit that owns the Bayview Cash Store and Goose Community Grocer at Bayview Center. Later, Whiting reflected on the cannabis store’s spot, a bit away from the grocery store and busy areas. “I think the location, for what she’s doing, is fine,” Whiting said of Cooke. “She doesn’t need to be on front and center traffic. People will certainly find her.”

later identified as Gipson, had assaulted his 30-yearold daughter, according to Norrie’s report. Norrie investigated and spoke with the nurse who was allegedly injured in the assault. The woman said the patient had pushed her shoulder, but “did not report going to the ER at that time” and “seemed uninterested in the assault on her.”
“She did not mention getting ER treatment and did not seem upset about the incident,” Norrie wrote. The alleged victim, two nurses and a nursing assistant provided their perspectives of the alleged assault. The alleged victim was combative and tried to leave her room; the nurses called a “code gray” and placed her in four-point restraints on a bed, the report states. The alleged victim claimed that Gipson “purposely” choked her. She said it hurt and she told Gipson to stop, Norrie wrote in his report. One nurse claimed that she saw Gipson placing her hands around the restrained woman’s face. The patient said she was hurting her and told her to stop, but the nurse said that Gipson said she wouldn’t until the patient calmed down, according to the report. The nurse told Norrie she confronted Gipson outside the room about the alleged assault. Gipson first said she was trying to clear the patient’s airway and

then said she was trying to keep her from spitting, though the nurse claimed there were “no threats or other signs” that the patient was going to spit, Norrie wrote. Later, Gipson told the nurse, “You can sign your patients off and you’re done here,” the report states. A nursing assistant who was also in the room claimed that Gipson grabbed the woman’s neck and “tightly clenched her hand,” the marshal wrote. Gipson told the patient to calm down and the woman said Gipson was hurting

“I think there’s gonna be a lot of problems in the first wave,” Jushinski said. Selling marijuana at too high of a cost didn’t make sense to Jushinski, who has run his medical cannabis store for two years and offers it between $15 and $18 per gram. Some stores that were able to have product on-hand this week were selling weed for up to $27 per gram. With taxes, it pushed past $30 per gram, almost three times as much as its street value, he said. If the state and stores can’t find a way to bring the cost down, they may not convert illegal marijuana sales into tax revenue. “I think there’s already a lot of cannabis on the island from the black market, so I don’t think there’s a big need for people to buy it when they can get it from their neighbor,”
her, the report states. Another nurse who witnessed the alleged incident said Gipson squeezed the patient’s face tightly for at least one to two minutes; the nurse left the room during the incident, Norrie’s report states. The nurse said she overheard Gipson saying that she had to “release” a nurse because she didn’t know how to handle psychiatric patients and because the nurse had threatened to report her to the state, according to Norrie’s report. Gipson’s attorney told
Jushinski said, adding that high sales costs could keep him from ever opening a retail marijuana store. Island County Economic Development Council Director Ron Nelson anticipated marijuana sales drumming up more money for the state and county. “From an economic standpoint, it’s going to generate a lot of tax revenue, for the state especially, which could help the General Fund,” Nelson said. “It has the potential, as we’ve seen in Colorado, in increasing the number of visitors … Recreational marijuana tourism, that could lead to increased tourism in the Langley area and increased economic activity.” “It will be fascinating to track what kind of an impact it does have,” he added.
Norrie that she would not speak to him about the allegations made against her. The hospital administration noted that violence against hospital staff has been on the rise nationally, and Whidbey General isn’t immune to this trend. “Violent patients require one-on-one care and may erupt with verbal or physical assault without warning, often requiring physical intervention to protect patients and staff from harm,” Rose said in her prepared statement. “WGH has also engaged a security firm to enhance
protection efforts for staff, patients, and visitors alike.”

KEEP TALKING!
Ever have a disagreement and felt like just walking out? Ever hang up the phone abruptly - cutting off the other party from responding? To sell your home successfully, be prepared to keep talking no matter what a prospective buyer’s position may be. When a buyer chooses your home, the first step is a formal written offer. If the offer is satisfactory, the offer becomes a binding contract. Often some aspect may not be acceptable, in which case you have two choices. You may choose not to respond or you may make a “counter-offer,” a written counter-proposal. No response is the equivalent of “hanging-up.” It may leave them angry and confused. To make the most of every offer, always keep the conversation moving. Make a counter-offer, even if it involves little movement from your initial position. This assures the buyers that you are taking their offer seriously, even though your position may be somewhat rigid. If the buyers are committed, your counter-offer may be accepted. If not, it may trigger another counter-offer. No matter what, keep the conversation in motion. A satisfactory transaction is the likely outcome.

Sweet surprise to learn butter is better for health
WHIDBEY RECIPES
Margaret Walton
I love it when something I’m not supposed to be eating turns out to be good for me after all, and it has happened, over the years, several times. Eggs, for example. Back in the late ’80s, when I first began writing about food in this column, eggs had a very bad reputation. The culprit, of course, was cholesterol, especially in the yolks. Without going into a long-winded overhaul of the processes involved, we were told not so long ago that, “recent studies have shown” that eating eggs is just fine and we’re even encouraged, now, to eat eggs to get some protein into our breakfasts, and furthermore, the cholesterol is nowhere as bad as previously thought. “Hurray!,” I thought to myself, because I had never given them up; I love eggs. Same thing happened with coffee; “caffeine is bad, bad, bad” they told us years ago, and we should cut back to no more than one or two cups at most, or better yet, switch to tea. Sorry, I thought, but without my morning jump-start of caffeine, I’m useless until about noon. So I ignored the warnings, sticking with my three to four cups of strong black, and sure enough I didn’t have to wait long until we were told by the same people who said “no, no” that, after “further studies,” coffee is a good thing, especially if we don’t load it with cream and sugar. But for Heaven’s sake, keep it away from growing children; pay attention to the caffeine in those assorted drinks the

GORGONZOLA BUTTER ¼ lb. Gorgonzola cheese, softened ½ stick unsalted butter, softened ¼ t. celery seed and/ or finely chopped fresh dill (optional) Discard Gorgonzola rind, if any. In a small bowl, stir together the cheese and butter until smooth, adding celery seed and/or dill, if using. On a sheet of plastic wrap, form the Gorgonzola butter into a log about 4 inches long. Chill the log, wrapped, until firm (at least 1 hr.) or keep refrigerated for up to a week. When ready to use, unwrap and cut the butter into thin “pats”, probably about 15 to 20. Use on a freshly grilled hamburger or put a pat on top of grilled steak; it’s also delicious on a baked potato or served with freshly grilled or steamed corn. What better use for butter than good old-fashioned, melt-in-your mouth butter cookies. These have an added bit of maple flavor, and if you have kids around let them choose cutter shapes and do the cutting of the dough. These will keep in an airtight container for about a week, if they last that long.

maple syrup (if you don’t have it, use regular maple syrup but add 3-4 drops maple extract) 1 large egg yolk 3 cups flour (all purpose) 1 t. salt In a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in maple syrup and egg yolk until mixture is well combined. Sift together flour and salt, then sift mixture over the butter mixture and fold in thoroughly. Chill the dough, wrapped in plastic wrap until firm (about 2 hrs., and up until 4 days). Divide dough in half, keeping one half chilled. Lightly flour the other half and on a lightly floured surface, gently pound the dough with a rolling pin just to soften. Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick and with floured cookie cutters, cut dough into cookies; gather, wrap and chill scraps. Arrange the cookies on buttered baking sheets as they are cut and make more cookies the same way with remaining dough and all scraps pressed together. You can also make decoration marks in the cookies with the back of a knife, if desired, but carefully because they are thin. Bake the cookies in batches in the middle of a preheated 350 degree oven until edges are golden, about 12 min., and transfer to racks to cool. Makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies, depending upon size of cutters. You could also frost these with a swipe of buttercream frosting after they are cooled, if desired.

Choochokam returns to take over Langley By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record One person’s trash is another person’s treasure, or so it seems for Patricia Larzelier, owner of The Mermaid’s Tears, who crafts delicate, handmade jewelry from beach glass. These pieces of glass are tossed about in the ocean waves after being thrown from the cliffs or the hands of careless beach-goers. The origins are as various as the colors of the shards and the accoutrement into which Larzelier molds them: green from bottles, red and yellow from car lights, turquoise from antique glassware. Larzelier, along with 76 other art and craft vendors, will be showing her wares at the 39th annual Choochokam Arts Foundation festival from 10 a.m. Saturday, July 12 to 5 p.m. Sunday, July 13 in Langley. Along with paintings, jewelry, sculpture, glassware and other artistic wares, there will also be plenty of opportunity for attendees to sample the craftsmanship of local chefs, bakers, brewers and vintners from any of the 9-10 food stations. The free festival will maintain its traditional tempo with live music of various genres from over 30 original area bands, including Will West and the Friendly Strangers, The Druthers, Br’er Rabbit, Weatherside Whiskey and more. Bands will play on one of two stages: the Main Stage on First and Anthes streets and the Pavilion Stage at Useless Bay Coffee Company on Second Street. Attendees may want to tune up their two-step for the Saturday evening street dance which will feature bands Letters from Traffic, the Ben Rice Blues Band and 20 Riverside beginning at 6 p.m. James Orr of 20 Riverside, who describes the band’s style as “Chicago with rappers” or “Chicago plus Tower of Power plus The Roots,” said this will be the band’s fifth time performing at Choochokam. Bass player Dave Luxmore said, “I enjoy making a day out of the festival. I get to bring my family, nephews included, and the whole
thing is just great. I love that it’s like a street party. And heck, we brought the family there the year we didn’t play just because it is a great festival.” Orr said he enjoys the atmosphere of Langley, the smell of the ocean and the tight-knit community. “Everything is local and small-town, in a good way. There is no Starbucks, no McDonald’s. There are always amazing artists and musicians and everybody makes you feel so welcome and appreciated,” he said. Marc Esterly, Langley Chamber of Commerce executive director, said that Langley’s evolution into an “arts hub” of a community with 10 independent art galleries and several resident artists, makes it an ideal location for Choochokam. “Langley is a tremendous oasis of the arts,” he said. “The crafts and artifacts presented at the Choochokam festival as well as the performers [are demonstrative of that].” Esterly said Saturday night’s street dance is quite popular and attracts people of all ages and musical persuasions. “Whatever your dance step is, there is probably a dance that will come up,” he said. Celia Black, entertainment chairperson for the Choochokam Arts Foundation, said new features of this year’s event include an expanded nonprofit booth area in the U.S. Bank parking lot to highlight the work of local organizations, and a new Main Stage complete with festival lighting to enhance the experience of the Saturday night street dance. Bruce Allen, who serves on the Choochokam board of directors, said he expects the event to attract anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000 people from on and off the island. “Langley is an art community basically. There’s a lot of artists in the area that like to show off their wares. There’s also a lot of vendors from off the island. It’s just a great thing for the community to do this,” he said. “We’ve done it for so long it’s kind of an institution.” Larzelier, who also makes jewelry from beach pebbles, said Whidbey Island is a

Parade brings out the crowds, sun By KATE DANIEL South Whidbey Record The sun shone warmly and a salty sea breeze wafted through the streets as hundreds walked, peddled and drove to take in the 99th annual Maxwelton Independence Day Parade. The celebration of community and independence commenced a little after 1 p.m. Friday July 4. The parade has been a tradition in the Maxwelton community since 1905 and in many ways, it appears not much has changed since that first march over a century ago. Parade-goers of all ages continued to don costumes and paint their faces in red, white and blue, decorate bicycles, tricycles and motor vehicles and take their dogs, ducks and younger siblings for a stroll through the street from Swede Hill Road to the Dave Mackie boat ramp in Clinton. The Second Wind Drum Line kept the beat at the beginning of the parade, followed by the introduction of this year’s grand marshal, Island County Parks Chief Jan Van Muyden. Young patriots made a prominent appearance at this year’s parade, both as audience members and participants, much akin to years past. One of the things that makes the Maxwelton Independence Day Parade special, according to community members, is the fact that anyone — from kids to senior citizens, political activists and church-group
members — can be involved. Demonstrative of this inclusive spirit, attendees were able to enjoy a procession of neighbors and friends including antique car and fire engine operators, banjo-players, tutu-adorned tots from the South Whidbey Children’s Center, rainbow-clad members of the Whidbey PFLAG group, mermaids, pirates, violinists, bagpipers and more. Bob Brooks, parade organizer, said the funds raised from post-parade food, beverage and souvenir button sales remained strong this year and the sum was enough to meet their goal. Funds raised will go toward next year’s 100th anniversary parade in addition to organizations such as Whidbey Animals’ Improvement Foundation and Good Cheer. Brooks said he was personally most pleased that Van Muyden served as grand marshal. “I know he was excited to be recognized,” said Brooks. Maria Ellis marched in the parade with her cohorts from the Northwest Language Academy. Ellis, who emigrated from Russia to Whidbey Island five years ago, said she enjoyed the community spirit and collaboration of the July 4 celebration. Larry Gibson, who attended the parade with his dog and grandchild, said he most enjoyed the fact that so many children were involved. “It’s just a good way for the community to come together and see what everybody else is doing. So many organizations are doing great things,” he said.

A WEEK AROUND WHIDBEY A kayaking adventure with a rocky start
By SUE ELLEN WHITE Special to the Record Look out your window. For most of us it’s a greenscape with perhaps a view of neighbors or a slice of the Salish Sea that surrounds Whidbey. What it means to live on an island is something most of us don’t think much about unless we’re waiting for a ferry or paying higher-thanmainland prices. The advantages, we believe, are the oldfashioned close community and that special feeling when we arrive, back from the mainland. It’s a place apart. Our home is at the intersection of the Straits of Juan de Fuca, the Straits of Georgia and Puget Sound. We view it from the ferry, the beaches we walk or our fishing boats. We’re surrounded by water, from powerful Pacific Ocean forces driven down the Straits to a calm Cultus Bay dotted with thousands of sand dollars aligned on edge and lit by sun shafts penetrat-

counting, sea otters in their classic back float, humpback whales, traveling orcas passing right next to our boats, evidence of ancient First Nations cultures and sweeping mountain ocean panoramas forever imprinted in our minds. To see and understand Whidbey, my husband and I decided to circumnavigate it this summer.

our guide, along with marine charts, Washington Water Trails’ guidebook, current and tide tables. We decide, for reasons of tide, currents and convenience, to start at Deception Pass State Park and paddle south on the west side of the island, ending at either Possession Point State Park or Clinton Beach Park. Nestled in a cove just east of Deception Pass, Cornet Bay provides everything we want: a place to park our car for three days and an easy launch from a sandy beach.

approaches. The biggest logistical problems paddling Whidbey are parking, beach access and camping. Part of the Cascadia Marine Trail, camping spots on Whidbey are the most widely spaced and difficult of any on the Puget Sound-wide trail. Parking for overnight paddling trips is problematic. Our paddling pal and all-around athlete, Dale Christensen, with assistance from other local kayakers, compiled a series of ’round Whidbey day trips with descriptions, mileage and access points that are posted at Island Beach Access’s website [www.islandbeachac cess.org/WISK/].

Staying in campsites along the way, their journey is already proving to be one of beauty and adventure.

bit of June gloom overcast and minor chance of rain. Just past 10 a.m. we launch to catch slack tide through Deception Pass. Nosing our boats into a calm eddy at the pass entrance we see the remains of the strong incoming current running like a river in the center of the channel. Sharp, dark cliff faces and the understructure of the bridge tower above us. Harbor seals poke their heads up, curious about us, and perhaps taking advantage of the pass’s slack tide to feed. We move slowly along the shore, waiting. The thrum of the striking red, white and blue Victoria Clipper catamaran echoes as it motors by us heading out to Vancouver Island with its load of tourists who must wonder what those three crazy paddlers are doing out in the pass. We will be going with the current after slack, but still have only about 20 minutes to get through the nearly mile of pass before the current builds, rushing through the narrow opening and creating the rips, whirlpools and swirling water that is so fascinating when seen from the bridge. As we move under the bridge we are greeted by an eagle soaring under the structure, followed by Navy jets roaring in low from the west. We focus intently on our route, a contrast to the families with small children frolicking in the soft sand at the park’s North Beach, a dozen yards to our left.
The way south The pass opens up at its west entrance, and we round rocky West Point and into exposure to choppy 1-to3-foot waves. Bobbing on swells we paddle south, well beyond the surf line, watching people at the state park

Whidbey’s rocky coast quickly turns to a series of sandy shores and low-rolling bluffs with glimpses of bright green legacy fields still growing crops. Beach houses sit in clusters along the shore, a few the modest cabins of the past century, others the size of a small hotel. The Navy air station’s landing field is set above a long, low, gentle crescent of beach. Whether by nature or development, it is a swath of deep ochre that stands out along the sandy shore. Planes take off and land continuously, from husky four-engine prop planes to the swept-wing Growlers whose din shakes the air and echoes, bouncing across the water, through every cell in our bodies. The base’s unpopulated shoreline is devoid of beach communities, though we see a Navy campground for military vacationers. Rocky Point, still on the Navy base and north of Joseph Whidbey State Park, is the southern visible outpost of the ancient bedrock formations and tectonic plates that were pushed up and form
rocky Deception Pass, the San Juan Islands and southern Vancouver Island. The rest of Whidbey is loose debris left by the back and forth of numerous glaciers. State Coastal Geologist Hugh Shipman, in his fascinating blog, calls this bedrock our basement. [http://gravel beach.blogspot.com/2009/02/ rocky-point.html.] Ahead are bluffs — sandy bluffs, clay bluffs with water seep, forested bluffs, bare landslide bluffs — and mostly narrow beaches. I surmise that without the solid rock at Deception Pass, we would have no pass. Were it glacial remains, it would all have been washed wide by the powerful water, resulting in a channel much like that between Mukilteo and Clinton.
Hurdle calls a halt Waves and wind moderate and we paddle south, skirting bull kelp forests and floating over large fields of shimmer-
ing bright green surfgrass. The northern edge of the Straits of Juan de Fuca is now far off to the west, so that all that we see between us and the watery horizon is the low pancake form of Island County’s most westerly point, Smith Island and its companion shoal, Minor Island. It was the site of an early lighthouse set 200 feet back from the western shore. That side of the small island eroded from waves charging down the straits, and by the 1980s passing boaters watched as the lighthouse canted further and further over the cliff. It was gone by 1998. Smith Island is now a wildlife refuge. It has a navigational light and weather station, but is closed to public access. Smith Island’s story seems a cautionary tale. Above the bluffs and slide areas, occasional roofs and fences can be seen precariously perched. Homes, it seems, that are likely there on borrowed time. According to an article by
Shipman, Island County is right up near the top of the state’s list with 51 percent of our shorelines mapped as unstable. San Juan County, by contrast, has only 3 percent of its shorelines classified as unstable by virtue of its “basement” rock. Navigating by water can be problematic, especially in Island County where almost none of the beach accesses or water trails sites are marked with signage that can be seen from the water. Imagine getting around on an unmarked landscape with no address, no signs, no intersections. We begin to look for Dale’s takeout point. He’s parked his car in a small pullout just south of Joseph Whidbey State Park and is leaving us for a higher calling. In a couple of days he would climb 12,281 foot Mount Adams. We land over a sandbar and small surf, eat a quick lunch, help him load his gear and we paddle off to Fort Ebey, six miles south. Bluffs to the left, a horizon to the right, in the distance are ships that head to and from Seattle and Tacoma, via Admiralty Inlet and the Straits. Except for sea birds and an occasional plane, we are alone. There is plenty of
time out here to contemplate our island and our place in eternity. By late afternoon, we arrive at Fort Ebey, our campsite for the night. I’ve scouted the location in advance, a good move as there are no signs to be found. The wind has picked up and we must make surf landings. Mine goes wrong and my boat is damaged, so as John notes, “The trip is over.” The boat needs repair before we continue, but the camping is good, food outdoors tastes grand and the sunset is magnificent.
