SAVE MAPLE LANE SCHOOL
All juvenile rehabilitation members are encouraged to come out March 3 to lobby their issues and fight for Maple Lane School, a facility for juvenile offenders in south Thurston County. An intense lobby day and other events to save Maple Lane have been set for March 3 in Olympia. Register online at http://takeaction.wfse.org or call 1-800-562-6002.
THESE EVENTS PART OF KEEPING PRESSURE ON
These events come in the wake of the Feb. 12 peaceful picketing to save Frances Haddon Morgan and, the same day, the community meeting in Selah to save Yakima Valley School. At the YVS meeting, Rep. Norm Johnson and Sen. Curtis King, both of the 14th District, repeated their commitment to keep the facility open, according to the Yakima Herald-Republic.
"We have to hold the line as we have," John Mahaney, president of the Friends of the Yakima Valley School, told the newspaper. "There will not be a cost savings and the (health service) community is not ready for these individuals with their high needs."
