House Resolution No. 548.

A resolution honoring the distinguished service and commitment of James R. Smith.

Whereas, It is with great respect and admiration for his outstanding contributions to the greater Marquette area that we are pleased to honor James R. Smith. For his proven leadership and critical accomplishments, we commend and thank him; and

Whereas, James Smith has been a member of the Marquette Board of Light and Power (MBLP) for 35 years and is currently serving as its chairman, a position he held for 14 terms during his MBLP tenure. Mr. Smith also served as a member of the Marquette City Commission from 1956-64. While serving on the City Commission, he was Mayor of the city of Marquette for two years, 1960-61 and 1962-63. His time spent on the commission was especially significant because he was particularly instrumental in amending the City Charter which established the autonomous relationship between the MBLP and Marquette city government. Mr. Smith also served as a Marquette County Board Commissioner for six and one-half years; and

Whereas, Mr. Smith regularly attends special events and conferences conducted by the Michigan Municipal Electric Association (MMEA). He was named a Lifetime Member of the MMEA in 1993 for his dedication to public power. He also attends conferences sponsored by the American Public Power Association; and

Whereas, Being a man of strong values, James Smith has shown an undying commitment to his community. This commitment is recognized by everyone who knows him, whether they are family, friends, or people throughout the community. Over the years, James Smith has pursued both community and civic noble causes. He was a member of the American Legion for 14 years of which he served as post commander for three years and District 12 commander for one year, he served on the Marquette County Fair Board for 12 years, and was a member of the Marquette Exchange Club of which he served as president and state president in 1972 and 1973. He is a current member of the Salvation Army Advisory Board with 15 years of service; and

Whereas, James R. Smith offered his leadership to these causes all while being a distinguished teacher for the Ishpeming Public School District. He is now retired. The leadership, dedication, and vision exemplified by Mr. Smith has certainly been a benefit to us all. For everything he has done, he deserves our highest praise; and now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the distinguished service and commitment James R. Smith. May his family and friends know of our gratitude for his contributions to the Upper Peninsula; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to James R. Smith as a token of our high honor and esteem.

House Resolution No. 549.

A resolution recognizing October 2002 as Disability Awareness Month in Michigan.

Whereas, The rehabilitation, training, and employment of all disabled individuals is an important goal deserving the support of all the citizens of our state; and

Whereas, In 1947, Congress passed a resolution promoting the employment of people with disabilities. This first national observance for persons with disabilities was developed in response to injured veterans returning home from World War II. President Harry S. Truman took this initiative one step further and established, by Executive Order, the first President's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped; and

Whereas, In 1949, Michigan Governor G. Mennen Williams appointed the first Michigan Governor's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped. This committee continued under Executive Order until 1968 when Public Act 11 formally established a committee under state law. At that time, the office and staff of the committee were placed under the Michigan Department of Education, which was the state's vocational rehabilitation agency; and

Whereas, Today, the Michigan Commission on Disability Concerns is comprised of twenty-one commissioners, each appointed by the Governor for a three-year term. Commissioners represent a variety of disability characteristics and all geographic regions of the state. The disabled individual can be a productive employee and a contributing citizen to the community if given the opportunity; and

Whereas, All citizens need to recognize the worth and skills of the disabled and assist in removing the barriers that prevent the disabled from reaching their fullest potential. Accessibility for the disabled, while improving, in many areas can still be enhanced. Through education, the accessibility needs of the disabled are becoming better understood for employment, housing, and recreational opportunities; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize October 2002 as Disability Awareness Month in Michigan.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

House Resolution No. 550.

A resolution to urge the Michigan State Housing Development Authority to work to make location efficient mortgages available in Michigan.

Whereas, Many public policy decisions have been made that reflect the positive impact that home ownership can have on our society. One of the more recent developments in promoting home ownership, especially in urban areas, is the concept of the location efficient mortgage. The location efficient mortgage is an initiative measure that links housing with access to public transportation. Currently, mortgages incorporating this concept are available only in selected areas, including Chicago, Seattle, and the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas; and

Whereas, Developed by a partnership of advocacy groups funded by federal government and private foundation grants, location efficient mortgages recognize the fact that access to public transportation can greatly increase the amount of money a family can have available for quality housing. A homeowner utilizing public transportation, for example, will have far lower transportation costs than a person driving tens of miles to work, shopping, or recreation each day. These mortgages can promote environmentally sound development while increasing the home-buying power of participants by thousands of dollars. A location efficient mortgage encourages the use of public transportation and the development of neighborhoods. Under this program, transportation savings are factored into the formula that determines how much money is available to a prospective home buyer; and

Whereas, This program, which involves numerous lenders and housing organizations, is sponsored by Fannie Mae. Location efficient mortgages can play a significant role in promoting wise development in Michigan, as it has in the areas of the country utilizing this idea; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Michigan State Housing Development Authority to work to make location efficient mortgages available in Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan State Housing Development Authority and Fannie Mae.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce.

House Resolution No. 551.

A resolution commemorating September 15-October 15, 2002, as Hispanic Heritage Month in Michigan.

Whereas, It is a privilege to join with the Hispanic community of Michigan to recognize September 15October 15, 2002, as Hispanic Heritage Month in Michigan. This observance offers a statewide opportunity for citizens to explore the many important historical and cultural contributions Hispanics have made in the Great Lakes State; and

Whereas, Activities during Hispanic Heritage Month will center on the theme for this year, "Empowering Americas Future, Empowering Hispanic Leadership". The national leaders in the Hispanic community recognize differences over bilingual education, affirmative action, technology training, and cultural obstacles and seek to address these issues as they celebrate past successes. Hispanics have increased their influence in the arts, government, education, business, and other areas of our society. They must continue to forge new policies that positively impact our Hispanic communities, while bringing them together; and

Whereas, Hispanic Heritage Month provides all citizens with the opportunity to become more aware of how Hispanic individuals, families, and communities enrich our great state. The dignity, courage, and creative spirit that the Hispanic people have displayed in meeting the challenges and responsibilities of fulfilling the American dream are an inspiration to us all. It is a pleasure to recognize the lasting impact that Hispanic Americans have had on the strength and progress of Michigan; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate
September 15October 15, 2002, as Hispanic Heritage Month in Michigan; and be it further

House Resolution No. 552.

A resolution commemorating September 8-14, 2002, as National Assisted Living Week.

Whereas, The President of the United States has proclaimed September 8-14, 2002, as National Assisted Living Week. The National Center for Assisted Living proudly sponsors National Assisted Living Week 2002; and

Whereas, The number of American elderly and disabled is dramatically increasing. Assisted living is a long term care service that fosters choice, independence, and autonomy in our elderly community; and

Whereas, The theme of National Assisted Living Week 2002 is "Honoring the Spirit of Our Nation."

House Resolution No. 553.

A resolution honoring Augustus Moore Herring for his 36 outstanding years in aviation service.

Whereas, Augustus Moore Herring was born in Georgia in 1867 to Cloe Berry Conyers and a wealthy cotton broker, William F. Herring. At a young age, Augustus knew he wanted to be involved in aviation. In 1888, while attending the Stevens Institute of Technology, he began building models of flying machines. By 1893, he had built a full sized glider which he crashed. He was also testing rubber band powered models; and

Whereas, In 1894, Augustus Herring built a Type 11-monoplane glider based on Lilienthal's patent submitted in Germany in 1893. He built several versions of his own glider based on the Lilienthal design, incorporating some of his own recalculations of Lilienthal's coefficients of lift. One of these designs had a horizontal tail and rudders in front for steering. He flew those designs successfully, but control was of a minimum. Later in the year, Octave Chanute hired Augustus Herring to build model and full sized gliders; and

Whereas, In 1895, Octave Chanute and Augustus Herring tested gliders with three types of wings. Those tests were conducted from the Huron Street Beach in Chicago. One of these particular aircraft's was successful and is now on display in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois. Augustus Herring took a position with Professor Samuel Pierpont Langley where he convinced the professor to use a curved shape airfoil (an aerocurve) instead of a flat wing. Mr. Herring was responsible for many major changes in configuration that led to the successful aerodrome flights of 1896. One of those changes was an elastic hinged tail called the "Herring Regulator," which automatically stabilized the models in gusty conditions. He also built a high temperature burner for steam engines and changed the designs used on Professor Langley's models; and

Whereas, In 1896, Augustus Herring returned to Octave Chanute's team and flew a variety of gliders. When Augustus Herring and Charles Avery added an elastic tail to one of the biplane designs, a very successful glider was created and called the ChanuteHerring Glider. Mr. Herring submitted a patent and was rejected. That was possibly the earliest patent application of its type in this country; and

Whereas, Financed by Matthias Arnot of Elmira, New York, Augustus Herring developed a flying machine while he lived in St. Joseph, Michigan. On October 10th, 1898, Mr. Herring flew a two-cylinder compressed air engine aircraft from Silver Beach to St. Joseph. He did this five years before the Wright brothers flew their first "Flyer"; and

Whereas, In 1902, Augustus Herring rebuilt Chantue's "Katydid" aircraft and flew it for the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk. On December 28th, 1903, he wrote the Wright brothers suggesting they form a company to produce an aeroplane. The Wright brothers did not agree but Wilbur Wright wrote Octave Chanute saying that their machine was similar to the one that Mr. Chanute and Mr. Herring built in 1896; and

Whereas, In 1903, Augustus Herring moved to New York and bought Glenn H. Curtiss' small manufacturing business and formed the Herring-Curtiss Company. That was the first company specifically established to manufacture airplanes as a business. Two of those planes were the competition winning Rheims Racer and Golden Flyer, the first aeroplane to be sold commercially. Though the company planned to deliver a plane to the U.S. Army Signal Corps, other projects prevented it from doing so. Later, it went bankrupt when Augustus Herring was setting up the Herring-Burgess Company in Massachusetts where varies amounts of aircraft were built. One of them in which made the first recognized public flight in New England; and

Whereas, Though Mr. Herring did some engineering work for the military during the World War I, much of the remainder of his life was spent on his lawsuit against Glenn Curitss. Augustus Herring died in 1926 at the age of 59, and his lawsuit was settled and paid in 1932; and

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Augustus M. Herring put forth on behalf of people that we offer this expression of our thanks and gratitude. As the people of Michigan recognize the loyalty, love, and devotion that Mr. Herring put towards aviation, we add our sentiments of gratitude for a job well done. This has been deeply appreciated, both by citizens and organizations throughout Michigan that have benefited directly from Augustus M. Herring's works. We offer our thanks for this personal endeavor; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Augustus Moore Herring for his 36 outstanding years in aviation service; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois, as a token of our esteem.

House Resolution No. 554.

A resolution honoring Thomas Kiesiedu Okae for his commitment to sharing the richness and importance of Africa's heritage and culture with the people of Michigan.

Whereas, It is a pleasure to offer our thanks and appreciation to Thomas Kiesiedu Okae for assisting the Lansing delegation throughout Akuapem South District and other parts of Ghana, West Africa. Akuapem South District is Lansing's sister city in Ghana. He has enriched our knowledge of the history and culture of Africa. We extend to him our heartfelt gratitude and praise his outstanding efforts to make the entire trip a very meaningful one; and

Whereas, Thomas Kiesiedu Okae belongs to the family of royals of Akuapem. Mr. Kiesiedu Okae has been a teacher, school administrator, and administrator for the Ghana Ministry of Education. He is also very involved with the politics of his country since he is a leader in the former ruling political party. Mr. Kiesiedu Okae was also the District Chief Executive (mayor) of Akuapem North and South Districts. He is also a research agriculturist with three farms. He raises maize, papaya, cassava, cocoa yams, avocado pears, oranges, and cocoa; and

Whereas, Thomas Kiesiedu Okae believes that every American needs to study the cultural heritage of Africa and experience his great continent. He has made these people-to-people missions become study tours and cultural havens, acquainting people with ancient African heritage and present day life; and

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of the this legislative body honor Thomas Kiesiedu Okae for his commitment to sharing the richness and importance of Africa's heritage and culture with the people of Michigan; and be it further

House Resolution No. 555.

A resolution proclaiming and recognizing the first week in September as Amber Alert Week in Michigan.

Whereas, There is a growing need for the people of the state of Michigan to serve and protect our children. There is a strong relationship between the future of Michigan and the preservation of child innocence. Students, parents, and good citizens benefit from the opportunity to learn the importance of child protection and safe recovery. Amber Alert Week will be used to recognize all available remedies to prevent, protect, and provide for safe recovery of abducted children; and

Whereas, Amber Alert week is truly unique, allowing our children to participate in educational programs such as survival technique schools. The Michigan Amber Alert program is instrumental in assuring not only the safe recovery of abducted children, but it also teaches children necessary survival techniques while in the custody of an abductor. The program also promotes safe child recovery by training the community to act as the "eyes and ears" of law enforcement; and

Whereas, We wish to promote community awareness and encourage citizens to invest in the future and safety of our children. We encourage school superintendents and personnel to assist in educating students and parents on the concept of the Amber Alert Program; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body proclaim and recognize the first week of September as Amber Alert Week in Michigan. We encourage all citizens to support the efforts by participating in activities that emphasize the importance of child safety in their communities.

House Resolution No. 556.

A resolution encouraging the Michigan Department of Education to request that Michigan's schools consider adopting child abduction prevention programs into their respective curriculums.

Whereas, In recent years, state, federal, and local efforts in education have focused on traditional classroom subject areas, especially student performance in reading and mathematics. There is widespread agreement that better instruction in these areas will profoundly influence the direction of our country in the years ahead. Similarly, there is considerable evidence to suggest that more work needs to be done to provide our young people with basic instruction on abduction prevention; and

Whereas, Studies indicate that children educated in the art of abduction survival techniques are more likely to escape an attempted abduction. Students, parents, and good citizens benefit from the opportunity to learn the importance of child protection and safe recovery; and

Whereas, Programs such as Escape School, developed by Bob Stuber, act as an excellent example for Michigan's schools to follow. Escape School has been nationally recognized for its efforts to protect our children; and

Whereas, Escape School is truly a unique program emphasizing to children the benefits of acting smart and not scared. It emphasizes how traditional rules change in a dangerous situation, how to identify strangers by how they act and not what they look like, and how to demand help. Escape School is instrumental in teaching children necessary survival techniques while in the custody of an abductor; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body encourage the Michigan Department of Education to request that Michigan's schools consider adopting child abduction prevention programs into their respective curriculums. We encourage all citizens to support the efforts by participating in programs, such as Escape School, that emphasize the importance of child safety in their communities; and be it further

Whereas, The theme for this years event, "Join the Voices of Recovery: A Call to Action," indicates that it is the responsibility of the community at large to help eradicate the economic and social costs of drug and alcohol dependency; and

Whereas, The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of Michigan, Inc. recognizes that in order to treat and prevent the disease of addiction, we need to build public awareness in all communities that will erase the stigma of addictive diseases. Creating a forum where those individuals addicted to drugs and alcohol can come together to share the solidarity and encouragement in realizing each others struggles and triumphs is shown to be an effective tool for the recovery process; and

Whereas, National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month celebrates the tremendous strides taken by individuals and families in recovery and encourages all citizens to support preventative programs; and

Whereas, Project Vox held a very successful rally at the State Capitol on September 14, 2002, with the theme "Celebrate Recovery Day in Michigan." Project Vox staff members have dedicated themselves to helping individuals and families on the path to recovery. This valuable program focuses on creating healthy new lives for families struggling with the effects of addiction. We also recognize their commitment to creating legislation and community programs to assist in the education of drugs and alcohol; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize September 2002 as Michigan Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month and commend the efforts made by Project Vox including "Celebrate Recovery II." We encourage all Michigan residents to support this year's theme, "Join the Voices of Recovery: A Call to Action"; and be it further

House Resolution No. 558.

A resolution honoring the Michigan Education Association on the occasion of its 150th anniversary.

Whereas, The Michigan Education Association (MEA) will celebrate its 150th anniversary on October 12, 2002. The MEA is a professional union of school employees in all classifications and at all levels of education that has been dedicated to improving the standards of public education in Michigan and the professional standards of employees in public education; and

Whereas, The MEA was founded in 1852 at the dedication of the Michigan Normal School, known today as Eastern Michigan University. Originally named the Michigan State Teachers Association (MSTA), it started with just 20 members. The MSTA was comprised of college educators, school administrators, as well as active teachers; and

Whereas, The MSTA immediately began to push for higher standards for teachers, more teacher education, and meaningful professional development for teachers who were already members of the profession. In 1854, the MSTA helped pass legislation authorizing funding for 10-day teacher institutes wherever 50 or more teachers wanted specialized training; and

Whereas, For their first 50 years, the MSTA pushed tirelessly for additional teacher preparation institutions. It succeeded near the turn of the 20th century with the establishment of normal schools at Mt. Pleasant in 1895, Marquette in 1899, and Kalamazoo in 1903; and

Whereas, During those initial 50 years, the MSTA strongly advocated for compulsory school attendance laws, state-funded free education for Michigan's children, and the admission of women to our state's universities; and

Whereas, As it grew, the MEA worked to secure professional compensation and benefits for its members through the process of collective bargaining and employee representation. They have also worked with elected leaders in the state to secure better working conditions and retirement benefits for all school employees; and

Whereas, As it approaches its 150th birthday, the MEA has over 164,000 members in approximately 1,150 local affiliates employed by approximately 550 public school districts, community colleges, universities, private colleges, and public school academies. From this diversity it has acquired a vibrant, dynamic character as a voice of education in the state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the Michigan Education Association on the occasion of its 150th anniversary. We offer our congratulations to them on this milestone occasion; and be it further

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

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

House Resolution No. 559.

A resolution honoring Gerald J. Anderson for his dedicated service to the Marquette-Alger Regional Educational Service Agency.

Whereas, It is with great respect that this legislative body salutes Gerald Anderson. His exemplary commitment to the education of all students and the excellence he exhibited in his many duties is to be commended; and

Whereas, Gerald Anderson served on the Marquette-Alger Regional Educational Service Agency Board of Education for 45 years. He served as president, vice president, treasurer, trustee, and on numerous board committees, specifically on the Building and Site Committee for 32 years. Gerald Anderson also served on the State Constitution Convention, which worked on the merger of Marquette and Alger Counties to form one of the first intermediate school districts in Michigan. He served on the Ishpeming Township and NICE Community School District Boards of Education for 20 years and the Marquette County School Board for five years prior to the merger of the Marquette-Alger Intermediate School District. He repeatedly served as a delegate to the Michigan Association of School Boards, and received an Excellence in Education Award from the Michigan Association of School Boards for 44 years of service as a board member; and

Whereas, Gerald Anderson generously devoted the time and effort necessary to become informed and knowledgeable about all matters affecting the education of students throughout Michigan. He helped to set the example of inclusion for all students with disabilities in the state of Michigan. He also served on the Alger Marquette Community Action Board, Economic Development/Planning Board, Central Upper Peninsula Planning and Development Executive Committee, Kiwanis, Negaunee Male Chorus, and as an advisor to the Marquette Alger Parent Advisory Committee; and

Whereas, Students, parents, and educators have significantly benefited from his exemplary commitment to the education of all students. Gerald Anderson's knowledge, leadership, and guidance have truly made a difference for generations of school children in Michigan. It is fitting that the Marquette-Alger Regional Education Service Agency will be dedicating their new administration conference room in his honor. We are proud to join with his many admirers in honoring him; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Gerald J. Anderson for his dedicated service to the Marquette-Alger Regional Educational Service Agency; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the children of Gerald J. Anderson as a token of our esteem.
