Marijuana initiative passes, what next? By Julie Summers
Special to the Islands’ Weekly
Sponsored by the Lopez Island Family Resource Center
On Election Day, Washington voters lived up to their progressive reputation by passing Initiative 502 to legalize recreational use of marijuana. The initiative passed with 55 percent statewide approval and an overwhelming 68 percent support in San Juan County, the largest margin in the state.
A similar measure passed in Colorado, making Washington and Colorado the first two states to allow recreational marijuana. “Everybody’s talking about this now,” said San Juan County Prosecuting Attorney Randall Gaylord. “Everybody’s interested to see how it will unfold.” Local officials’ reactions vary widely.

editor (Oct. 23 Weekly edition), Gaylord encouraged voters to carefully consider I-502 and stated that he would adapt his policies based on the results. One complication is that I-502 is slated to go into effect in 30 days, but the law is now in direct conflict with federal law, which bans marijuana. Gaylord said there is a lot of speculation on how this will play out. Under the federal Controlled Substances Act,
marijuana remains classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, alongside heroin and ecstasy. Schedule I drugs “have a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the U.S., and there is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision,” according to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Although there are medical marijuana laws in 18 states and D.C. (the most recent just passed in Massachusetts) and there have been several attempts to reclassify marijuana, the federal government has yet to do so. In 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced that federal prosecutors would essentially defer to state laws regarding medical marijuana, but it remains unclear whether that precedent will hold with recreational use. Gaylord points out that the conflict between state and federal laws could be complicated by the fact that Washington is a border state with increased federal law enforcement presence. Officers of the Coast Guard, U.S. Customs, and other federal agencies, he says, follow federal law, and users in line with the Washington law may still be prosecuted under See marijuana, page 6

tors to three full-time elected officials. The three new council positions will be paid $74,930 per year, plus a benefit package substantially similar to the package for present council members. The vote, confirmed by the county Human Resources Manager Pamela Morais, was five in favor, two opposed, with one abstention. Two members of the 10-person volunteer panel were not present at the Nov. 9 commission meeting. According to Morais, the commission doubled the present council members’ part-time salaries and added 10 percent to bring the total up to 100 percent of an average council member salary, calculated when the six-person council salaries were set six years ago, at the time the charter was first implemented.

It’s time to ‘fall’ back into reading By librarians Karen Rogers and Lou Pray
Island summers are glorious – packed with biking, crabbing, gardening, boating and so many other fun activities that it can be hard to find time to read. Now that the barbecues and family reunions are over, we all have time to catch up on our reading. There are many new books by best-selling and popular authors arriving at the library weekly.
Here are Karen’s suggestions:
“How Should A Person Be?: A Novel From Life” by Sheila Heti. As the title suggests, this is the story of a young woman’s search for herself. If you like funny, character-driven stories about 20-somethings, you’ll like this book. “The Fault In Our Stars” by John Green. This book will make you laugh, cry, and want to read Green’s other books. Jodi Picoult fans might like this – she has a blurb on the cover. “The Kitchen Counter Cooking School: How A Few Simple Lessons Transformed Nine Culinary Novices Into Fearless Home Cooks” by Kathleen Flinn. This Seattle writer taught non-cooks how to cook and eat healthfully and economically. I learned that I’ve been holding my knife incorrectly, and what “flavor profiles” are. “Hark!: A Vagrant” by Kate Beaton. This collection of comics about history and literature from a Canadian pointof-view is laugh-out-loud funny. My favorites feature the Bronte sisters trash-talking each other. “Sweet Tooth: A Novel” by Ian McEwan. The master of the finely-drawn psychological portrait has a book coming out in November. It is described as, “a witty story of betrayal and intrigue, love and the invented self.” Can’t wait!
Lou’s picks – a couple of non-fiction titles
“End of your life book club” by Will Schwalbe. I loved this book. The author and his mother talk about the books they are reading while waiting for her doctor appointments and chemotherapy sessions. But reading isn’t always just a way to pass the time, is it? Communicating about the painful and joyful is often easier with books as the conduit. Check out the book list included for your future favorites. “Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal and the Real Count of Monte Cristo” by Tom Reiss. Ever wonder who inspired all the great Alexander Dumas adventure stories: “Count of Monte Cristo,” “Three Musketeers,” etc.? His dad! Born of a Haitian slave and rogue French aristocrat, Dumas Senior went from bondage to become sword-fighting member of the French aristocracy. He went eyeball-toeyeball with Napoleon, rose to command over 50,000 men through his superhero-like strength, smarts, and skill with the blade, was unfairly jailed, escaped and – I could go on and on but this historical account proves the old adage, “truth is stranger than fiction.” It’s not just comics that have super heroes.
is the fall book for you. With a shocking underlying premise that is so rare these days: stop blaming everybody else (parents, your genes, the government, your lack of this or that) and take responsibility for your actions, already. A hilarious, scary, yet oddly loving look at the nature of family responsibility and what family actually means. “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn. My favorite book this season. Wife goes missing. Was she abducted, murdered or what…? In alternating chapters, we hear first person accounts from the husband and then the wife. I’ve read hundreds of mysteries but nothing prepared me for this novel’s psychological reveals. A jaw-dropper. I just heard Reese Witherspoon bought the film rights. “Working Theory of Love” by Scott Huchins – very funny, contemplative novel with this unlikely premise: a young man secures a job attempting to create artificial intelligence using his late father’s 5,000 page diary as the source material. As he queries the computer using the banal minutiae of the diary entries, does the computer become self aware? Can you get family closure with AI? Read to find out. “Dog Stars” by Peter Heller. I read this book in one sitting. That hasn’t happened since “The Last Werewolf” by Glen Duncan. Although it falls into the currently popular “dystopian future” genre, this one is a humane tale about the power of emotional connections, human-to animal and person-to-person. Can you fall in love with a narrator? I did. After a devastating epidemic wipes out large swatches of the population, two men and a dog named Jasper “secure the perimeter” against wandering barbarians at their “home” in a rural airport in Colorado. Except for forays into the nearby mountains with his dog for his beloved fly fishing trips and hunting, small aircraft pilot Hig flies only as far as he can safely return on one tank of gas. Until one day … no, you better read it for yourself! So what literary gold have you got on your bedside table? Inquiring Lopezians want to know.

The Lopez Island 2012 football season ended with a 7-4 record. They played three district playoff games and lost on Saturday in a loser out, winner advancing to the state quarter finals. “Lopez played in an extremely strong league this season losing only to number one ranked Neah Bay twice and once to number four ranked Lummi Nation and once to number six ranked Mary M.

However, opponents remain concerned about the costs incurred by a potential increase in drug abuse and drug-related crime and car accidents. “Currently the social costs related to alcohol are around $185 billion,� said Lopez Island Prevention Coalition Executive Coordinator Georgeana Cook, refer-

ring to a 2004 World Health Organization global status report on alcohol, “and of that, less than 8 percent is covered by taxes and penalties.� Cook said the number one concern is the health and safety of youth. “My first question is ‘What message are we giving to our youth and how will this affect them?’� she asked.
The future
Gaylord is quick to point out that headlines touting the new legality of marijuana are a bit deceiving. It is still illegal to drive impaired and to display or consume marijuana in public. As of Dec. 6, it will be legal for adults 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana, 16 ounces of marijuana-infused product in solid form, or 72 ounces of marijuana-infused product in liquid form. But sale and purchase for non-medical use will remain illegal until state regulations are put in place, which could take up to a year. Use and possession by minors is prohibited, and adults who provide marijuana to minors will be prosecuted. Gaylord said he will speak with Jenny Durkan, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, which could give him an indication of the feds’ intentions. He

plans to coordinate with Nou to ensure a consistent county policy, and will speak with school and prevention groups so they’re aware of what is being done to keep marijuana out of minors’ hands. Nou said the passage of I-502 creates “a very muddy picture� in the short term. “This is pretty much uncharted waters,� he said. “On the enforcement side it’s almost nightmarish.� Now that the law has passed, he said, it is his job to enforce it. But he has concerns about the state/ federal conflict, especially as it pertains to San Juan County’s marine traffic. He won’t speculate on potential federal intervention, but said, “I think we’re a long way from full implementation of this law.� Gaylord said the process could get complicated. But, he stressed, it is important for people to understand that they will continue to be prosecuted if the law is violated – regardless of what that law is. Nou said his biggest concern is the messaging. “It is much more complicated than simply saying ‘marijuana is now legal,’� he said. “People will have to be diligent in researching it and knowing what the boundaries are.�

five years that “Guardian” has been in service, there have been occasions where there have been emergency medical calls at the same time from different islands. “Guardian” is temporarily out of service for repairs after running aground during an emergency medical call in September. When the new public safety boat comes into service, “Guardian” would be moved to Orcas Island, but remain available for emergencies throughout the county.
Nou is proposing a proportionate “share” in obtaining, operating and maintaining the new vessel into the future. The fire departments have yet to craft an agreement.
