Interesting story, WT. Macular Degeneration occurs in two forms - one is treatable, and the other is progressive and permanent. Obviously the woman had the treatable kind.
If the medical people in that part of Washington didn't know the difference, then I suppose it's possible that she died from herbal poisoning.
There's an article in the paper here where I live, Sequim, WA, letter to the "people's pharmacy" column where a man wrote in that his wife suffered from macular degeneration.
Four years ago, the Dr. told her that her vision was 45% blocked and there was nothing to do about it. It would just slowly get worse. They started taking bilberry capsules and a year later the Dr. check-up showed it was now only 25% blocked and getting better.
She passed away 3 years later at age 82 and she had no macular degeneration. It had cleared up in less than 2 years.
I personally take bilberry, lutein and zeaxanthin which are primarily used by the eyes. I'm 72 this month and still have 20/20 or better. I highly recommend vitamins.
My favorite aunt suffered from this and I wish I had known this while she was still around. The nice thing about vitamins, very rarely any side effects unlike most drugs. WT
Litlmissme, check out this link for Blind Pony Lake:

littlemiss,
Blind Pony Lake is closed from 10pm to (I think) 5am. Pretty much all the same rules, but no bait that has to be carried in water is allowed (minnows, etc.). Good luck. I haven't caught anything longer than my hand so far:(
Here's another link with a detailed explanation of the tax structure. It's in PDF format, so you'll need Adobe Reader to open it:
