Motions and Resolutions
The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 574.
A resolution honoring Ernie Harwell for his invaluable contribution to the citizens of Michigan and the nation as the renown major league radio broadcaster for the Detroit Tigers.
Whereas, It is with great appreciation for his remarkable contribution to sports as a major league broadcaster that we honor Ernie Harwell upon his retirement from the Detroit Tigers organization. On behalf of his fans, colleagues, and the citizens of Michigan, we offer our sincere gratitude for the time, energy, and talent he so lovingly devoted to promoting major league baseball; and
Whereas, Ernie Harwell gave his final Detroit Tigers broadcast on Sunday, September 29, 2002. A statue was erected in his honor in recognition of his major league broadcasting career which started in 1948 at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn when he made his first major league broadcast with the Brooklyn Dodgers. This was the first coast-to-coast telecast of a major sporting event. After two seasons with the Dodgers, he worked with the Giants and Orioles before coming to Detroit in 1960; and
Whereas, In Ernie Harwell's 55-season major league career he has made a lasting contribution to the standard of excellence in broadcasting through his brilliant play-by-play analysis and the unique timbre of his voice. This is a quality that is synonymous with baseball to sports fans everywhere; and
Whereas, Ernie Harwell's career highlights include the Detroit Tigers' World Series victories in 1968 and 1984, calling the action for Bobby Thompson's historic playoff homer in 1951, being the voice of the first American League Championship Series in 1969 on CBS Radio, and national broadcasts of several World Series and All-Star Games; and
Whereas, Ernie Harwell received the 1981 Ford C. Frick Award presented by the Baseball Hall of Fame for baseball broadcasting excellence. He was named to the National Sportscasters Hall of Fame in 1989 and that same year he was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame; and
Whereas, Ernie Harwell is acclaimed as an author of several books on the great game of baseball. In these books he chronicles baseball history and shares his memories. His books include The Babe Signed My Shoe, Baseball as It Wasùand Will Always Be: Tales of the Grande Ole Game, and his most recent book published in 2002, My First 60 Years in Baseball; and
Whereas, His sports broadcasting involvement outside of baseball includes the Master's Golf Tournament in Atlanta and football credits that embody coverage of the New York Giants, Baltimore Colts, and Brooklyn Dodgers pro clubs. He also broadcast for Yale University, Pittsburgh, Boston College, Fordham, Georgia Tech, and Michigan State University on the collegiate level; and
Whereas, Ernie Harwell, at the age of 84, has spent half of his life as a Detroit Tigers announcer and has earned a well-deserved place in history and in our hearts and minds as the most beloved sports broadcaster of all time; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Ernie Harwell for his invaluable contribution to the citizens of Michigan and the nation as the renown major league radio broadcaster for the Detroit Tigers. He takes with him into retirement a host of memories, knowledge about the history of baseball, along with the warm wishes of his fans, colleagues, and all of those fortunate enough to have known him. May his future be filled with more time to enjoy his passion for writing and the company of his lovely wife, Lulu, family, and friends; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Ernie Harwell as a token of our deep appreciation and respect.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Patterson moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

House Resolution No. 577.
A resolution honoring Hartford Memorial Baptist Church upon its 85th anniversary.
Whereas, We are proud to recognize the 85th anniversary of Hartford Memorial Baptist Church. As the people of this family of believers celebrate their faith and the triumphs they have shared, we are pleased to add our voice of thanks for the many ways in which this church has touched and enriched not only its loyal membership, but also the community-at-large; and
Whereas, Hartford Memorial Baptist Church was founded in 1917. Its origins can be traced to the vision and prayerfulness of a small but fervent group of people who came together with a wish to worship and the desire to share their concern for others. In a spirit of unity that has only grown stronger with the passing of the years, Hartford Memorial Baptist Church has been devoted to carrying out these noble ideals. Milestones like this anniversary, just as a church building itself, stand as symbols of commitment and stewardship; and
Whereas, Since the days when circuit-riding clerics rode through the forests to lead services, Michigan's people have come together to share their deepest emotions through congregations like Hartford Memorial Baptist Church. Whether praying for a good harvest, celebrating love in marriage, or marking the passing of a dear friend and loved one, we all draw great strength from sharing with one another through church. The history of Hartford Memorial Baptist Church provides a wonderful example of how much faith and unselfishness mean to our entire state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Hartford Memorial Baptist Church upon its 85th anniversary. We add our thanks and best wishes on this momentous occasion; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Hartford Memorial Baptist Church as a token of our esteem.

House Resolution No. 578.
A resolution to memorialize the President of the United States to remove the recently imposed tariffs on imported steel.
Whereas, In March 2002, the United States imposed tariffs on imported steel. The tariffs range from 8 to 30 percent and are slated to be in effect over a three-year period. The President imposed the tariffs in an effort to protect the American steel-producing industry from harmful impacts attributed to foreign subsidies; and
Whereas, The tariffs imposed on imported steel have resulted in increased costs for manufacturers who use steel products in their operations. Steel-using industries pass along the higher costs to consumers. The increased costs also harm exporters of American made products. Cumulatively, the tariffs amount to a significant drain on numerous segments of our economy; and
Whereas, In addition to the negative economic impact and the loss of jobs in industries that use steel in their manufacturing, the tariffs present a genuine threat to the delicate balance of free trade. Other nations have reacted to the tariffs with plans for similar protectionist strategies. Apart from the clear problems resulting from retaliation, the actions of the United States to impose tariffs may even jeopardize support other countries are willing to extend in the world's efforts to combat terrorism;
Whereas, Another problem with tariffs is that they will temporarily mask problems that must be solved in order for the American steel industry to thrive again. In the end, our country will be far better off with a domestic steel industry that has addressed its problems directly instead of by using tariffs as a way to avoid problems that must be solved by other means; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the President of the United States to remove the recently imposed tariffs on imported steel; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

House Resolution No. 579.
A resolution honoring the life of Violet May Holmes Larry.
Whereas, It is with sincere sadness that we mourn the passing of Violet May Holmes Larry and acknowledge her outstanding leadership which enriched lives throughout the entire community of the city of Detroit. We join with the congregation of the Neopolitan Spiritual Church and her loved ones in giving thanks and blessings to this remarkable woman as she enters her reward and meets the God and Savior she dedicated her life to. The counsel, encouragement, and direction that she has shared in all aspects of her life had a positive influence far beyond the church itself; and
Whereas, Violet May Holmes Larry was born on May 4, 1928, the 22nd child born to Martha Ann Holmes and John Wesley Holmes in the city of Detroit. She attended Detroit Public Schools and furthered her education at Mary Grove College, Wayne State University, and Wayne County Community College. She married Wilson Larry, Sr., on October 30, 1948; and
Whereas, Violet confessed Christ at an early age and joined the Alpha & Omega Spiritual Church under the leadership of Bishop and Zola Robinson. While there, she was on the Usher Board, in the choir, and was a youth worker. Violet May Holmes Larry joined the Neopolitan Spiritual Church in the mid-sixties. With a heartfelt concern for others that was immediately apparent to all who met her, she brought a new era to many individuals and families since that time. While several events and milestones at the Neopolitan Spiritual Church provide obvious evidence of the good works of Violet May Holmes Larry, less tangible but no less important are the gifts of deepened faith and serenity her life and qualities have made possible. At Neopolitan, she served on the Nurses' Guild and was an active member of the Usher Board, giving all of the Usher Board functions, such as The Supreme Tea, The Church Bus, The Children's Corner, The Sorrowful Mother's Shrine Trip, and The Ms. Neopolitan Pageant; and
Whereas, Violet May Holmes Larry was very involved in her community. As the President of the Cadillac Block Club, Violet May Holmes Larry led the Club as it painted curbs, cleaned vacant lots, and involved youth in its wholesome functions. At Pingree Elementary School and Urban Adult Education, Violet May Holmes Larry assisted and benefited students in many capacities. She founded the Kerr-Airs Gospel Group and, with her sister, Onnie Brown, organized the first Holmes/Fitzpatrick Family Reunion. Violet was renowned for her fabulous catering services, community leadership, inspiring ideas, motherly wit, and faith in God; and
Whereas, Violet May Holmes Larry legacy includes her loving husband; her children, Shirley, Wilson, Jr., Pamela, Margaret, Donna, Monique, Marlisa, and Peggy Ann Bland (who preceded her in death); her sister, Onnie Brown; her brother, John Wesley Holmes; three sisters-in-law, Mary Holmes, Mary Hurst, and Marlene Larry; two brothers-in-law, Lonnie Larry and Robert Powell; 21 grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; two godchildren; a host of nieces and nephews; and everyone who was touched by her good works.; and
Whereas, With the passing of Violet May Holmes Larry, the family of worshipers at the Neopolitan Spiritual Church and all of her loved ones are losing not only a spiritual mentor, but also a friend. With all that they have shared over the years, there can be little doubt that her words and strength will long continue to be of the greatest value in the months and years to come; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the life of Violet May Holmes Larry; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the loved ones of Violet May Holmes Larry as a token of our esteem.

A resolution honoring the hard work and dedication of Maggie DeSantis, Executive Director of Warren/Conner Development Coalition, and expressing appreciation for her valuable contributions in Michigan.
Whereas, We are proud to join with the members, officers, and friends of Warren/Conner Development Coalition in acknowledging the benefits which Maggie DeSantis, Executive Director, has brought to this outstanding group and to the community of the city of Detroit. Ms. DeSantis' dedication and desire to make a difference were profiled on the PBS-TV show, "The Visionaries". This milestone is a reflection of unselfishness and commitment to the common good that is most commendable. While Maggie DeSantis and the other members of this distinguished organization celebrate years of service, we offer our thanks for the gifts they have shared within the city of Detroit and throughout Michigan; and
Whereas, The Warren/Conner Development Coalition can trace its origins to 1984 and the aspirations of its founders. Originally, the organization consisted of a community board, one staff person, and a full-time volunteer acting on a small loan and donated office space from Mercy Hospital. In the years that have followed since they first came together, this organization has adapted to changes in society, membership, and expectations. This ability to grow and change has shown in the belief that members have maintained in their mission of service and the unity of the membership; and
Whereas, The Warren/Conner Development Coalition is dedicated to the city of Detroit's continual self-empowerment and envisions a healthy and diverse Eastside community of individuals, families, businesses, and organizations working together to guide its institutions, influence its development, and control its destiny. As covered on "The Visionaries", one of Warren/Conner's greatest triumphs was the recent 85th anniversary of Hutchinson Elementary School. At a time when white flight from the city of Detroit had caused a decline in population which gave rise to the demolition of many schools, Warren/Conner prevented this fate for Hutchinson Elementary School by organizing parents into a powerful lobbying group for their children's education; and
Whereas, The organization creates community leaders and inspires residents to create their own agenda, and their own vision for the future. Maggie DeSantis exemplifies the dedication to these important goals which has brought so many benefits to the community of the city of Detroit. Ms. DeSantis' mission is to improve the quality of life on Detroit's Eastside and work at rebuilding the soul; and
Whereas, With much pride to celebrate its history, Maggie DeSantis and the other members and officers of Warren/Conner Development Coalition will remember the vision of many people and the hours and years of commitment that have brought the group to this point. Fittingly, as they look to the past, they will also be casting an eye to the future and to the many ways in which Maggie DeSantis and the Warren/Conner Development Coalition will continue to reach out in our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the hard work and dedication of Maggie DeSantis, Executive Director of Warren/Conner Development Coalition and express appreciation for her valuable contributions in Michigan; and be it further

Whereas, The Warren/Conner Development Coalition is dedicated to the city of Detroit's continual self-empowerment and envisions a healthy and diverse Eastside community of individuals, families, businesses, and organizations working together to guide its institutions, influence its development, and control its destiny. As covered on "The Visionaries", one of Warren/Conner's greatest triumphs was the recent 85th anniversary of Hutchinson Elementary School. At a time when white flight from the city of Detroit had caused a decline in population which gave rise to the demolition of many schools, Warren/Conner prevented this fate for Hutchinson Elementary School by organizing parents into a powerful lobbying group for their children's education; and
Whereas, The Warren/Conner Development Coalition creates community leaders and inspires residents to create their own agenda, and their own vision for the future. Kathleen Wimsatt exemplifies the dedication to these important goals which has brought so many benefits to the community of the city of Detroit. Ms. Wimsatt was empowered and enriched by the programs at Warren/Conner and now empowers and enriches the lives of her students and their parents, she empowers others; and
Whereas, With much pride to celebrate its history, Kathleen Wimsatt and the members and officers of Warren/Conner Development Coalition will remember the vision of many people and the hours and years of commitment that have brought the group to this point. Fittingly, as they look to the past, they will also be casting an eye to the future and to the many ways in which Kathleen Wimsatt and the Warren/Conner Development Coalition will continue to reach out in our state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the hard work and dedication of Kathleen Wimsatt, Hutchinson teacher, and express appreciation for her valuable contributions in Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Kathleen Wimsatt and the Warren/Conner Development Coalition as evidence of our esteem.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Patterson 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.
