SEQUIM — You hear about these things, Christy Rookard said, and you think, “Oh my gosh.” “We’re the ‘Oh my gosh’ people,” she said. What started out as a celebration of 25 years of marriage in late June turned into a nightmare for Willy and Christy Rookard after Willy was severely injured while the couple was vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. He was airlifted to a trauma center in San Diego with a collapsed lung and a severe brain injury after he was grabbed by men in a car and dragged down the road early in the morning of
June 27, his wife said. Willy remains in San Diego as he recovers from his injuries, Christy said. “My 25th wedding anniversary, [we] spent it in an ICU instead,” she said. To help the family cover medical, travel and accommodation expenses, an account at all First Federal community banks have been set up, as well as at online sites GoFundMe (www.gofundme. com/willyrookard) and Caring Bridge (www.caringbridge.org/ visit/willyrookard). No strangers to Cabo San Lucas, the Rookards consider the Mexico resort a favorite vacationing spot. TURN

Primary 2016
Commissioner hopefuls speak their minds Five candidates in Jefferson answer queries PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT TOWNSEND — Candidates Kate Dean, Jeff Gallant, Cynthia Koan, Holly Postmus and Tim Thomas — who are running in the Aug. 2 primary election for the Jefferson County commissioner District 1 seat — answered questions about their positions. District 1 covers the Port Townsend area. What should be the county’s role in balancing the needs for a vibrant economy and a protected natural environment? Dean: Balancing these two critical elements comes down to
good planning. The county must work closely with citizens and the city of Port Townsend to determine where we want density and what services we need to serve growth there while preserving other lands. Planning for growth gives us an opportunity to talk about where we want (and how to pay for) affordable housing and multimodal transportation. We can plan for growth and preserve working and conservation lands. Gallant: Full implementation of the Growth Management Act requires the establishment of critical-area and natural-resource protection along with the appropriate zoning for commercial activities. Counties should continue on the path of directing higher-density residential and commercial growth into areas where infrastructure

and development already exists or can be provided at a lower cost without creating suburban sprawl. Koan: We have to do both well. Protecting our natural resources, habitat, soil, water and air is not optional, so as we necessarily protect our natural environment, we also must enrich the economic soil of Jefferson County. The county’s role in land-use planning, environmental-health and building permitting, and enforcement is key. We literally live on, and off of, the land. Protecting our natural environment is the path to a vibrant economy in Jefferson County. TURN NEW 2016 Jeep
