Motions and Resolutions

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 222.

A resolution offered in memory of Raymond C. Kehres, former member of the House.

Whereas, The members of this legislative body were saddened to learn of the passing of our former colleague, Raymond C. Kehres. A devoted advocate for the elderly, the infirm, and the young, Ray Kehres left a lasting impression on this state. In both his accomplishments as a lawmaker and his personality as a true gentleman, this humble man enriched Michigan; and

Whereas, Ray Kehres, a native of Monroe and a World War II veteran, worked for many years as a welder. Fittingly, he formed strong bonds with his beloved community as a member of numerous civic groups. His compassion and humility, combined with his willingness to work hard and to listen, earned him a place of great respect. His election to the House of Representatives in 1964 was an extension of his commitment to the community; and

Whereas, During his sixteen years representing the people of his Monroe district in Lansing, Ray Kehres became a strong and thoughtful voice for people in need. For those stricken with physical and mental handicaps, he was a champion. His legislative career was highlighted by his distinguished leadership as vice chair of the Appropriations Committee and chair of the Social Services Subcommittee. He was a key contributor to efforts to codify state laws on mental health, juvenile justice, and public health; and

Whereas, Those closest to Ray Kehres will always remember him as a man who put into action his deep religious faith and concern for others. This legacy will long strengthen our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we honor the memory of Raymond C. Kehres, who served in the Michigan House of Representatives from 1965 to 1980; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to his family as evidence of our condolences.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted by a unanimous standing vote.

House Resolution No. 220.

A resolution to designate March, 1998, as Parenting Awareness Month.

Whereas, The children of Michigan are our state's most precious resource and those young people deserve the support of a society that reinforces healthy living; and

Whereas, The State of Michigan believes that the education of students is enhanced by the involvement of parents and families in their children's education; and

Whereas, Studies demonstrate that when parents are involved in their children's education, the attitudes, behaviors, and achievement of students are positively enhanced; and

Whereas, The State Board of Education's 1997-98 Action Plan includes a request that every school building and district adopt a family involvement plan as a part of its school improvement plan. The plan should be geared toward building strong connections between the home, school, and community as a means of improving achievement and behavior; and

Whereas, The State Board of Education's Family Involvement Policy, adopted in May, 1997, states that schools must welcome the public's involvement, and recognize the strengths, dynamism, and resources of all those who wish to participate with the schools in practical and tangible ways. It also states that teacher training institutions have a responsibility to provide training in family involvement; and

Whereas, Parents who nurture, love, and appropriately discipline their children can help them become citizens with high self-esteem who will be healthy, happy, loving, responsible, trustworthy, and protective adults. Informed parenting can help reduce social problems such as substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, unemployment, poverty, and crime; and

Whereas, Providing parenting knowledge and skills will benefit all the residents of Michigan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the Michigan House of Representatives declare March, 1998, as Parenting Awareness Month by promoting parenting education throughout Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Board of Education as a symbol of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Gagliardi moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

House Resolution No. 221.

A resolution to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Social Workers and to express appreciation for the valuable contributions of Social Workers in Michigan.

Whereas, Social workers across the nation are celebrating 100 years of professional service and are being recognized for their outstanding contributions. We commend their vigilance and their compassion as they work tirelessly to educate as well as care for the people in their communities; and

Whereas, We are especially appreciative of social workers in the state of Michigan. These professionals have served with distinction and have become an integral part of improving conditions in institutions and in our families. They have spoken out against such atrocities as child abuse and neglect, poverty and other social ills. People with mental illness and developmental disabilities are now afforded humane treatment. Social workers, along with others in the community respond to grievous injustices, the mistreatment of prisoners, the neglect of people with mental illness, the plight of orphans and widows, the despair of homeless and poor people, and out of concern for children working in sweatshops. They have sought social justice for those who had no voice in public policy and eventually gained better conditions in institutions, the workplace, the home, and the community; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That a unanimous accolade of tribute be hereby accorded to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Social Workers and to express appreciation for the valuable contributions of social workers in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers as evidence of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Gagliardi moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Reps. Alley, Middaugh, Perricone, Bodem, Tesanovich, Kilpatrick, Baade and Anthony offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 223.

A resolution to urge the Department of Natural Resources to expand the scope and national marketing of the Michigan Natural Resources Magazine.

Whereas, Michigan, the Great Lake State, has the potential to become the greatest recreation destination in North America; and

Whereas, The varied climate of Michigan offers year-round recreational opportunities, including hunting, fishing, boating, snowmobiling, camping, hiking, sightseeing, skiing, biking, and nature observation; and

Whereas, Michigan's diverse geography features the rugged western Upper Peninsula, the forests and beaches of the northern Lower Peninsula, and the urban excitement of the great cities in the southern portion of the state. Michigan has attractions for every visitor; and

Whereas, The people of Michigan, with the variety of their ethnic, cultural, religious, and historical backgrounds, share a warm, friendly, and welcoming attitude toward visitors; and

Whereas, Governor John Engler, recognizing the lackluster job Michigan is doing to promote its natural resources, plans to expand the state's advertising campaign in regional markets; and

Whereas, The Governor has stated that his goal is to make the state the number one travel destination in the Great Lakes region; and

Whereas, Michigan Natural Resources Magazine, a recently privatized publication under the direction of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, currently is produced and distributed to highlight the state's natural resources; and

Whereas, Michigan Natural Resources Magazine has the potential to advertise Michigan's natural resources and recreational opportunities to visitors outside of Michigan similar to publications in other states; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Department of Natural Resources to expand the scope and national marketing of the Michigan Natural Resources Magazine through a private vendor to promote Michigan's natural resources and recreational opportunities and increase out-of-state tourism; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor, the Director of the Department of Natural Resources, and the members of the Natural Resources Commission.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Conservation, Environment and Recreation.

Reps. Schermesser, Brown, Kelly, Basham and DeHart offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 88.

A concurrent resolution to urge the Governor to declare a state of disaster for the Ecorse Creek basin communities of Ecorse, Dearborn Heights, Allen Park, Inkster, Taylor, and Westland.

Whereas, The communities in the Ecorse Creek basin recently suffered from heavy rains and extensive flooding. The severe flooding caused numerous businesses and schools to close, shut area highways, ruined many basements, and left thousands of people facing serious losses of property. The situation posed a threat to public health through the volume of contaminated water in homes and elsewhere in the affected communities; and

Whereas, In response to the multiple problems facing citizens and businesses, local authorities in the Ecorse Creek basin are working to get state and federal assistance. A key component of any recovery for the lives and property is a declaration of disaster by the Governor. This step can set in motion programs that are needed to help these communities recover from the forces of nature; and

Whereas, Michigan's Emergency Management Act, 1976 PA 390, provides, in MCL § 30.403, that "The governor is responsible for coping with dangers to this state or people of this state presented by a disaster or emergency." The conditions faced by the people of the Ecorse Creek basin area of southeastern Michigan warrant a declaration of disaster; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge the Governor to declare a state of disaster for the Ecorse Creek basin communities of Ecorse, Dearborn Heights, Allen Park, Inkster, Taylor, and Westland; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Conservation, Environment and Recreation.
