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.

House Resolution No. 575.

A resolution honoring Dale E. Elliott upon the occasion of his retirement from the Muskegon County Road Commission.

Whereas, It is with deep appreciation for the hard work, dedication, and professionalism that Dale E. Elliott has put forth on behalf of the people of Muskegon County that we offer this expression of our thanks and best wishes in retirement. As the people of Muskegon County recognize the loyalty and devotion to public service of this conscientious individual, we add our sentiments of gratitude for a job well done; and

Whereas, Dale E. Elliott worked in law enforcement at the Muskegon County Sheriff's Department. With a personal respect for the law and a strong personal sense of duty, this dedicated professional faced dangers and risks most of us cannot imagine facing. After nearly 30 years, he retired from the Muskegon County Sheriff's Department; and

Whereas, Dale E. Elliott returned from that well-earned retirement to serve four years at the Muskegon County Road Commission. As Dale E. Elliott well knows, financial pressures and changing expectations have combined to make the recent past a challenging time to work in local government. With the personal sense of duty that Dale E. Elliott brought to the Muskegon County Road Commission, he was able to meet this challenge with enthusiasm and a genuine interest in efficiency in public service. This has been deeply appreciated, both by citizens and organizations in Muskegon County that have benefited directly from Dale E. Elliott's work as well as other public servants who have witnessed this fine example. We offer our thanks on this personal milestone; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Dale E. Elliott upon the occasion of his retirement from the Muskegon County Road Commission.

A resolution honoring Norman H. Erickson upon his retirement from the Muskegon County Road Commission.

Whereas, It is with a strong sense of admiration for all of the sacrifices he has made on behalf of the people of Muskegon County that we salute Norman H. Erickson. His retirement from public office as the Managing Director of the Muskegon County Road Commission marks the end of a well-respected career in public service. We thank this conscientious individual on this occasion with confidence that Muskegon County will long benefit from his work; and

Whereas, In the 27 years since Norman H. Erickson joined the Muskegon County Road Commission, the people of Muskegon County have appreciated the dedication and belief in this community's future that have marked all elements of his work. His ability in dealing with the various township leaders, business leaders, community leaders, and county citizens has helped to further economic development in Muskegon County; and

Erickson has been at the center of several regional endeavors to improve Muskegon County's infrastructure, such as the Wastewater Treatment Facility, Central Dispatch, Regional Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Corporation. At a time in our history when local officials face many challenges and changes, Norman H. Erickson has responded with energy and a heartfelt concern for the citizens, businesses, and institutions of Muskegon County; and

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.

Reps. Hart, Kooiman, Zelenko, Durhal, Kuipers, Lemmons, Bisbee, DeVuyst, Vander Roest and Ehardt offered the following resolution:

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.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce.

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.

House Resolution No. 580.

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

Increases in rates of compensation authorized by the commission may be effective only at the start of a fiscal year and shall require prior notice to the governor, who shall transmit such increases to the legislature as part of his budget. The legislature may, by a majority vote of the members elected to and serving in each house, waive the notice and permit increases in rates of compensation to be effective at a time other than the start of a fiscal year.

; and

Whereas, As a result of recently completed negotiations and binding arbitration, a settlement has been reached on a three-year contract between the state and the Michigan State Troopers Association regarding compensation and other terms and conditions of employment. This settlement, which will be retroactive to its effective date of October 1, 1999, was reached past the time when the governor could transmit the increase as part of the budget; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That, pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of the State of Michigan of 1963, the Michigan Legislature waives the prior notice requirement to permit increases in rates of compensation for certain members of the Department of State Police as set in the contract settled between the Michigan State Police Troopers Association and the state and the Civil Service Commission; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Civil Service Commission.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

Reps. Durhal, DeWeese, Birkholz, Julian, Jacobs, Vander Roest, Raczkowski and Quarles were named as co-sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
