Motions and Resolutions

 

 

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

House Resolution No. 98.

A resolution offered to honor the memory of Richard Austin, Michigan's Secretary of State from 1971 to 1994.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the remarkable gifts he shared with the people of this state through a lifetime of public service that we mark the passing of Mr. Richard Austin. Few statewide elected officials in Michigan history garnered more respect or affection than this dedicated and effective public servant; and

Whereas, Born the son of an Alabama coal miner, Richard Austin came north to Michigan as a young man. With quiet determination and a strong sense of duty to his family and his principles, he worked his way through school, ultimately becoming Michigan's first African American certified public accountant. His accomplishments in the business world as a senior partner with the firm of Austin, Washington, and Davenport prepared him well for the administrative challenges and accomplishments that marked the second half of his professional life; and

Whereas, Mr. Austin was elected as a delegate to the historic Constitutional Convention of 1961-62, which reshaped and modernized Michigan's governmental structure. Following his elective service as Wayne County's auditor, Richard Austin was elected in 1970 to the first of six consecutive terms as Michigan's Secretary of State. In this role, he brought about many innovations we take for granted today, including voter registration when obtaining vehicle registration or license renewals. He also helped lead the fight to promote safety through seat belts; and

Whereas, In addition to the numerous achievements of his distinguished service, Richard Austin will also long be remembered as a gentleman of great dignity, thoughtfulness, and personal integrity. He set standards of civility in the public spotlight that truly reflect the best qualities of our state and nation; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Richard Austin, Michigan's Secretary of State from 1971 to 1994; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Mr. Austin's family as evidence of the lasting esteem that will be held for his memory by the people of our state.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

Reps. Kolb, Hale, Hansen, Adamini, Dennis, Faunce, Meyer, Van Woerkom, Clarke, Schermesser, Jamnick, Bovin, Lemmons, Minore, Woodward, Neumann, Ehardt, Thomas, Pappageorge, Quarles, Clark, Spade, Kilpatrick, Caul, Bogardus, Birkholz, Bernero, Waters, Hardman, Switalski, Rivet, Jansen, DeWeese, DeRossett, Rich Brown and Jacobs offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 99.

A resolution honoring William B. Stapp, Emeritus Professor, School of Natural Resources and Environment at University of Michigan, and Honorary Director, Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN).

Whereas, William B. Stapp earned his B.S. degree in 1951, his M.A. degree in 1958, and his Ph.D. in 1963 from the University of Michigan. He joined the faculty of the School of Natural Resources and Environment in 1964 as a lecturer. He was promoted to associate professor in 1965, and professor in 1970. During his career, Dr. Stapp focused on the root causes of environmental issues and on educating people to find solutions to those issues. He and his students are largely responsible for coining and defining the term "environmental education" and the spread of environmental education into the curriculum of schools around the globe; and

Whereas, In the 1960s, Dr. Stapp was a pioneer in environmental education long before it became a cause to embrace. He initiated an environmental education program into the Ann Arbor public school system in the early 1960s. He co-founded and served as president of the Citizens Association for Area Planning in the city of Ann Arbor in the mid-1960s. In the late 1960s, he served as chairperson of the Governor's task force for developing an environmental education plan for the state of Michigan. In the early 1970s, Dr. Stapp was elected president of the American Nature Study Society. In 1971, he was involved in planning the first Earth Day and helped to draft the National Environmental Education Act. In 1974, Dr. Stapp expanded his efforts in environmental education to the international level as he served as an advisor to U.S. government agencies and was appointed the first director of the Environmental Education Program for the United States (UNESCO). This worldwide program involved 146 nations and led to the first intergovernmental conference in Tbilisi, USSR, in 1978. During this time, Dr. Stapp lived in Paris but worked and traveled in over 100 countries, learning about international environmental education needs and priorities; and

Whereas, In the mid-1980s, Dr. Stapp was a founder and first president of the North American Association for Environmental Education and worked with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources in Geneva, the United Nations Environmental Programme in Nairobi, and a host of other programs and projects in both industrialized and developing nations. In 1989, Dr. Stapp founded the Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN). Today, GREEN is a nonprofit organization linking teachers, students, administrators, and professionals in watershed education programs in all 50 states and in over 135 countries. GREEN receives funding from over 25 national and international organizations; and

Whereas, A researcher and author of international renown, Dr. Stapp has participated in workshops, conferences, programs, and sponsored research activities throughout the world. He has spread the word of care and concern for the environment through 22 books and over 200 professional articles. Dr. Stapp is in demand throughout the world to work with others in establishing national, international, and cross-cultural programs. He has received more than 80 international, national, and provincial awards for his accomplishments in the field of environmental education, including the President's Environmental and Conservation Challenge Award in 1992, and being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. Dr. Stapp is indeed an exemplary model of both an educator and a world citizen; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That this legislative body honors William B. Stapp, Emeritus Professor, School of Natural Resources and Environment at University of Michigan, and Honorary Director, Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN) ; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Dr. William B. Stapp as evidence of our admiration for all he has accomplished.

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,

House Resolution No. 100.

A resolution honoring "HOBY", the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership Program.

Whereas, Hugh O'Brien of Wyatt Earp television fame is the founder of "HOBY", the Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership Program, which began four decades ago. Hugh was motivated by his visit with the famous humanitarian Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Dr. Schwietzer believed that "the most important thing in education is to teach young people how to think for themselves". "HOBY" has been committed to that very ideal for more than 40 years and has reached more than 200,000 high school sophomores with that message; and

Whereas, Hugh O'Brien's total commitment and leadership to our nation's youth has generated many volunteers and promoted their success, as well as stimulated opportunities for young people to demonstrate their leadership abilities when they return home for betterment of community and country; and

Whereas, Other organizations, such as the National Association of Counties, in the last three years have made youth a national priority. Businesses, service organizations, community groups, and interested citizens provide the necessary financial support to continue the work of the seminars; and

Whereas, The state of Michigan recently awarded a grant of 1.5 million dollars toward youth programs. This grant is so that our youth, the potential leaders of the community, are given the opportunity to communicate with recognized leaders in business, government, science, education, and other professions through give-and-take workshops; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body support these most wonderful and effective youth programs. We recognize and give thanks to "HOBY", the Hugh O'Brien youth leadership program; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to "HOBY", the High O'Brien Youth Leadership Program as a token 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.

 

 

Reps. Wojno, Faunce, Hale, Hansen, Vander Roest, Lockwood, Adamini, Sheltrown, Dennis, Meyer, Van Woerkom, Julian, Voorhees, Clarke, Schermesser, Jamnick, Kolb, Bovin, Lemmons, Minore, Gosselin, Woodward, Raczkowski, Neumann, Rocca, Ehardt, Thomas, Garza, Pappageorge, Quarles, Clark, Spade, Kilpatrick, Kowall, Bishop, Richner, Scranton, Caul, Plakas, Bogardus, Birkholz, Callahan, Bernero, Waters, Hardman, Switalski, Rivet, Toy, Jansen, Koetje, DeWeese, Vear, DeRossett, Rison, Rich Brown and Jacobs offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 101.

A resolution commemorating May 13-19, 2001, as "Police Week" in the city of Warren.

Whereas, Each year, the city of Warren sets aside a week to honor the police officers who protect our neighborhoods, assist us in times of distress, and put their lives on the line to fight crime. This year, the city will recognize the week

of May 13-19, 2001, as Police Week. May police officers across our city and state know of our deep appreciation for their public service and their sacrifice; and

Whereas, The tradition of honoring police officers dates back to 1962, when President John F. Kennedy proclaimed the week of May 15 as National Police Week with one day set aside as National Police Officers Memorial Day. President Kennedy wanted to focus on the sacrifices made by police officers in the line of duty. The first known line-of-duty death occurred in New York in 1792. Since then, more than 15,000 law enforcement officials have been killed in the line-of-duty, including 472 in Michigan. This proclamation has helped us focus on the sacrifices made by our police officers over the last four decades and remains a symbol of our nation's commitment to them; and

Whereas, Warren's law enforcement officers undertake a demanding and dangerous job every day they put on their uniform. They have been sworn to uphold our laws and to protect our lives and property from harm. Our ability to live as free citizens is dependent on the faithful performance of their duties. Our law enforcement officers are exemplary public servants. National Police Officers Memorial Day, which is observed during this week, is a special reminder of the officers who have fallen in the line of duty and deserve our recognition; and

Whereas, We appreciate the support of Warren's police officers who have earned our sincere thanks. May the citizens of Warren continue to recognize the blessings of a police force made up of such devoted individuals. As we go about our business, let us pause to remember both the officers who have died while protecting us and the families of these officers; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize the week of May 13-19, 2001, as "Police Week" in the city of Warren. May all the citizens of Warren be encouraged to recognize the important services and protection that police officers across our city and state provide; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Warren Police Department as evidence of our highest 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.

 

 

Rep. Bovin offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 102.

A resolution honoring Carol Woods for her work as chief deputy county clerk and chief deputy register of deeds of Menominee.

Whereas, It is with admiration for the hard work she has done on behalf of the people of Menominee that we salute Carol Woods. Her retirement from public office marks an era of effectiveness and efficiency in public service. We thank this conscientious individual on this occasion with confidence that Menominee will long benefit from her efforts; and

Whereas, In the 30 years since Carol Woods began her responsibilities as the chief deputy county clerk and chief deputy register of deeds, the people of Menominee have appreciated her dedication and belief in this community's future that permeated all elements of her work. At a time in which local officials face many challenges and changes, Carol Woods has responded with energy and a heartfelt concern for the citizens, businesses, and institutions of Menominee; and

Whereas, Carol Woods takes with her into retirement memories of the tasks that she has accomplished and an invaluable insight into the complexity of our system of self-government. With all that she has given to the people of Menominee, she can also take a great deal of personal pride and satisfaction from a job well done. In retirement Carol and Ron, her spouse of 41 years, plan on traveling, working in her flower garden, and, in the fall, spending time at hunting camp; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor and thank Carol Woods for her work as chief deputy county clerk and chief deputy register of deeds. May health and happiness be hers in the future; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Carol Woods as a token 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.
