PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Mulliken: “Thank you Mr. President. Well, I don’t have a resolution to offer. I wanted to let the body know that on January 20 of this year Governor Gregoire recognized one of my constituents in Moses Lake A hero. A teacher named John Lane who was recognized for his heroic action ten years ago when the Frontier Junior High-or Middle School in-Moses Lake had a terrible tragedy in which a school teacher by the name of Leona Caires and two students, Arnie Fritz and Manuel Vela were fatally shot and wounded. Natalie Hintz was also one of the victims that was wounded and survived. John Lane on the other hand, he was the teacher that stepped in front and saved further tragedy. The reason I’m rising to bring this to our attention is first of all, it was ten years ago yesterday that this event happened and often times in the busyness, we sometimes over look some of the things that have happened. I was contacted by a constituent asking if I would please remember the victims and their families and I think that is important for us to do that. I also would like to share the positive side of the things that have happened in Moses Lake in the last ten years as a result of the tragedy. The community pulled together. There were laws in place that could of prevented but were not able to prevent. So we didn’t change any laws because they were already there and the beauty of our recognizing that. It’s a community that needed to pull together was what made them successful. The parents are very involved. They’ve had a lot of community meetings over the years. The teachers, people, are more aware of young students, fourteen year olds, thirteen year olds, when they're going through difficult times. When they have changes that can sometimes put them over the edge. I just wanted to let you know that John Lane, today, is a principal at my St. Rose of Lima Catholic School because he retired from the public school system, and we love having him there. John Lane and I sing in the church choir at Our Lady of Fatima at Moses Lake and I’ve so enjoyed getting to know him. I wrote him a note congratulating him on the Governor’s recognition and in it I said ‘Now that I know you personally, I know it was your faith and your trust in God that enabled you to step forward that day and prevent even further tragedy.’ So I just wanted to thank the body for the opportunity of recognizing the ten year anniversary of Frontier Junior High's tragedy but also the celebration of the positive things that have happened in Moses Lake and for John Lane. Thank you Mr. President.”
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator McAuliffe: “Thank you Mr. President. I would like to join Senator Mulliken in her recognition of John Lane and his commitment to saving children in that incident in Moses Lake ten years ago. We did learn from that incident and I met with the emergency personnel that had responded that day and with the school people who are also present. What we learned was that, when the school people went to the school, they did not know where to go because they did not know where room 101 was or where room 102 was. Today, we map all of our schools so that when the emergency people are called to a school they know exactly where to go because it is mapped for them. Each of our schools we have done this too and we are continuing to do it now beginning to finish off our elementary schools. We also know that what happened in Moses Lake and many other incidents across the country, the students that felt alone and isolated and alienated and these actions were somewhat a result of that. So we have passed it from this legislature the anti-harassment bill and that was under leadership of Governor Christine Gregoire two years ago. We are, today, seeing that we are training people to know and recognize what harassment is. What it means to children and how it isolates them as well. So we learn from this incident and we always need to look every time something happens in our schools to our children who are in our care how we can better protect them. Thank you Mr. President.”
