House Resolution No. 254.

A resolution offered as a memorial to the life of James Sephers.

Whereas, On March 15, 1998, the State of Michigan lost a humanitarian well-known in Southeast Michigan, Mr.James Sephers, to bone cancer. The City of Hamtramck was blessed with his presence for 72 years, until his death at age 96; and

Whereas, James Sephers was born in Houston, Texas in 1901. He joined a carnival at age 12 and finally settled in the automobile capitol of the world in search of employment on the assembly line. When he was 26, he began working at the Chevrolet Gear & Axle plant in Hamtramck, now known as American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc. In the mid-1930's, he became active in the movement to unionize workers. Articulate, astute, and dedicated to the labor movement, Mr. Sephers became the first black committeeman in the UAW's seminal Local 235; and

Whereas, The leadership, hard work, and commitment he demonstrated with the UAW were also evident in his life-long efforts as a civil activist. Although, in the flesh, he is no longer with us, James Sephers will forever be with us in spirit as we look upon the many ways in which the meek and humble were defended through his bold and diligent efforts; and

Whereas, As a champion for the underserved, he fought for the underdog who could not, for example, pay a bill or who was losing his or her home. Many of those he helped still sing praises of James Sephers, who brought out the best in others by living the life and keeping the faith of the mold set by Jesus Christ; and

Whereas, This concerned citizen also shared his time and talent in many positions in civic and church organizations. Under membership of the Macedonia Baptist Church of Hamtramck, Mr. Sephers was ordained as a deacon in 1977 and served as Assistant Superintendent of the Sunday school. He served as Chairman of the Deacon Board for as long as his health would allow. Recognizing his benevolence, the Macedonia Baptist Church established part of its library and the James Sephers Scholarship in his honor. Several other organizations to which he donated his service are the 15th Congressional District as a Precinct Delegate, the Masonic Composite Lodge #17 of Hamtramck, and the Optimist Club of Central Detroit; and

Whereas, The family of James Sephers bears the greatest loss from his passing, we offer our condolences to them. May they find comfort in the knowledge that many people share in their bereavement, and that the legacy of accomplishment of this distinguished man will long continue to help others; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we are both saddened by the loss of James Sephers, and at the same time heartened by his legacy of exceptional civic activism and community service. We offer our words of praise as a memorial for James Sephers, a man who had a profound impact on his community, state, and nation; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to his family as a symbol of our sympathy.

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,

The resolution was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

House Resolution No. 255.

A resolution to honor Judge Harold M. Bulgarelli upon the occasion of his retirement.

Whereas, It is indeed a pleasure to honor Judge Harold M. Bulgarelli as he retires after 18 years of dedicated and compassionate service as the Chief Judge of the 52nd District Court. It is a privilege to honor Judge Bulgarelli for his devotion to the Oakland County citizens and the people of the state of Michigan; and

Whereas, A native of East Detroit, Judge Harold Bulgarelli received his Ph.D. from the University of Detroit in 1957 and then went on to graduate from Wayne State University Law School in 1960. After serving the citizens of the United States in the Korean War, he began a private practice beginning his career as the attorney for the City of Wixom, Township of Milford, Walled Lake Consolidated Schools and Multi-Lakes Conservation Club. On January 1, 1981, Harold Bulgarelli was sworn in as District Court Judge. He is the past president of the Oakland County District Judges Association and has served on the State Bar Character and Fitness Committee for Oakland County; and

Whereas, Judge Bulgarelli has been an important figure within the community receiving the Distinguished Service Award from the Walled Lake Jaycees. Judge Bulgarelli is the past vice president of the St. William's Catholic Church Council. He is also the Past President of the Lakes Athletic Association, Walled Lake Optimist Club and Walled Lake Rotary Club; and

Whereas, With his retirement, Oakland County is losing one of its finest public servants who brought integrity and wisdom to his courtroom. Judge Bulgarelli is a strong, compassionate and caring individual who has treated all who have entered his courtroom equitably. It is with great admiration and respect that we honor Judge Bulgarelli, his wife Nancy and their children Michael, Paul and Dan, for all the contributions he has made to enhance the legal and social well-being of the citizens of Oakland County, Michigan while serving on the 52nd District Court; now, therefore, beit

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we congratulate Judge Bulgarelli upon his retirement as the Chief Judge of the 52nd District Court after 18 years of dedicated service; and be it further

Whereas, America's Junior Miss Program winners incorporate the message of "Be Your Best Self" by stressing the importance of including six elements into one's life - morality, integrity, honesty, love, respect and hope; and

Whereas, The Wayne-Westland Junior Miss Program has helped deserving college-bound girls by awarding $21,500 in cash scholarships since 1995, and has positively impacted the lives of fifty-five young women by promoting goodwill and self esteem; and

Whereas, The Wayne-Westland Junior Miss Program designed a theme of "In the News" earning it the "Best Local Program" award in the state of Michigan. As a result, the program was awarded $10,000 in cash scholarships; and

Whereas, The success of the Wayne-Westland Junior Miss Program is largely due to the hard work and vision of its board, which consists of: Patricia Hermatz, President, Dennis Hermatz, Vice President, Charlene Bramble, Recording Secretary, Ed Turner, Correspondence Secretary, Peggy DuBay, Treasurer, and Board Members Glen Anderson, Kathy Carroll, Tricia Dickerson, Marie Kordie, Kathy Makino, and Justine Barnes; now, therefore, be it
