Kitsap Drug Court Commencement April 24, 2009 Honorable Jay B. Roof CELEBRATE SUCCESS!
Attorney General Rob McKenna Keynote Speaker "When Kitsap County established its Drug Court, other counties were still hesitant. Not many counties were ready to take that step. 10 years later, there is now no doubt that drug courts work. We are deeply impressed by this program. Judge Roof has shown an unmatched commitment to Drug Court."
We acknowledge the hard work and of these participants who have successfully completed the Drug Court program.
James O'Malley, Graduate "I am grateful to have had my wake up call at such a young age. Thank you Rick and the rest of the team."	Marty Ervine, Graduate "I relate to my friends and family differently now. I learned to ask for help and how to help others. Reach for the light at the end of the tunnel."
Shaunte Bembry, Graduate “I've made amazing connections here. When I see you all in the streets, I'll remember you. You've all helped me change my life."	Peggy Schutt, Graduate “Thank you all."
Neal Stewart, Graduate “I spent Drug Court reconnecting with my family. I tried and I tried. The more I proved myself, the longer leash Drug Court would give me."	Jeff Hill, Graduate "Thank you to my home group. It's Saturdays at 8:00. There'll be cake tomorrow."
Vicki Kennedy, Graduate "This has been a life changing experience. I want to thank my family. I love them all very much."	Tawnia Weedmark, Graduate "This was my chance. I knew I needed something to change. I am so grateful for what Drug Court has given me."
Gary Geisler, Graduate "Thank you to my family. I love you guys. You never gave up hope."	Daniel Dufresne, Graduate "Thank you Rick. I'm a different guy than I was when I started. Thank you for helping me to come out of my shell."
Daniel Lewis, Graduate "It's weird to hear, 'Danny was* a heroin addict.' 'Was' is the key word. Thank you."*	Jean Smith, Graduate "I'd lost everything. The love of my life had died. My dog and I lived in a car. Thank you for a place to live, friends to share my life with and life itself."
Christopher "C.J." Wright, Graduate "My Mom told me 'love is unselfish caring for another individual.' Thanks to Drug Court, I feel that sometimes now."

Drug Court Graduates, Attorney General Rob McKenna, and Judge Jay B. Roof “In difficult times it is appropriate to reexamine our priorities. I am grateful that our commissioners have the foresight to invest in prevention. Drug Court lies at the intersection of a commitment to justice and prevention of future crime. It brings families together, makes our community safer, and saves lives. It is a court of hope.” - Judge Jay B. Roof
