Lord we have many important decisions to make…It has never been more important that we work together…We ask for Your wisdom and that You help guide us together through these troubled waters.

Together Lord we ask that You help us make the decisions that will create jobs for those that want to work to feed…to clothe…to shelter…and to educate their families…and we especially ask for Your guidance to help us bring an end to…home foreclosures for all our citizens and the families we serve.

In Your name we pray Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

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

House Resolution No. 92.

A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for David Frederick Upton, former member of the House of Representatives.

Whereas, With the passing of David Frederick Upton, the southwestern region of Michigan and the entire state have suffered a genuine loss. As a leader in the business world, community service, and elected office, this unpretentious gentleman touched many lives and leaves a legacy of commitment to others that will long be cherished by all who knew him; and

Whereas, Born in Benton Harbor, David Upton was a man of great loyalty and integrity, traits fitting for the Eagle Scout he was. Like many of his generation, David Upton had his education, at the University of Michigan, interrupted by World War II. His distinguished service as a captain of an LST landing craft in the Pacific also put him on Iwo Jima as our flag was raised. Returning to civilian life, Mr. Upton finished his studies in Ann Arbor, began his career in business, and took on a variety of civic leadership roles in his home community; and

Whereas, Mr. Upton’s varied business experiences, which ranged from manufacturing to finance to the wine industry, and his involvement in education and public service groups, led him to elective responsibilities. With his service to the 1961-62 Constitutional Convention, he help craft Michigan’s fundamental law. Following that work with a term in the House of Representatives, Representative Upton was involved in the implementation of the constitution and the modernization of state law. His return to the business world was marked by accomplishment and a true passion for service and his family, as well as devotion to the Wolverines and to his beloved corner of our state. Clearly, this kind and unselfish man exerted an influence on others that will long endure; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of David Frederick Upton, a member of this legislative body from 1963 to 1964 and a delegate of the 1961-62 Constitutional Convention; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Upton family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

House Resolution No. 95.

A resolution to commemorate May 16th, 2009, as Cherry Blossom Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Michigan is the number one cherry producing state in the nation and is the unofficial Cherry Capitol of the World; and

Whereas, The United States produces about 650 million pounds of sweet and tart cherries each year, with Michigan producing the largest tart cherry crop. An average of 200 to 250 million pounds of tart cherries are harvested each year, an amount equal to 75 percent of the total crop; and

Whereas, A group of organizations including the Leelanau Enterprise, the Leelanau Conservation District, the Leelanau Conservancy, and the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, is planning the Second Annual Leelanau Cherry Blossom Tour for Saturday, May 16th, in Leelanau County, which has more acres of tart cherry trees than any county in the nation; and

Whereas, Michigan also hosts the world largest cherry celebration, the National Cherry Festival, which takes place each July in Traverse City; and

Whereas, Cherries contain powerful antioxidants that may help fight cancer and heart disease and relieve the pain associated with arthritis and gout. Tart cherries are especially high in the antioxidant melatonin, which may help prevent or reduce brain deterioration associated with aging, and are also high in vitamin A and beta-carotene; and

Whereas, The average U.S. citizen consumes about one pound of tart cherries per year. That is more than 260 million pounds per year; and

Whereas, One of the most beautiful sites in Michigan or anywhere in the world during the month of May is the blossoming of the cherries trees; now, therefore, be it

A resolution recognizing May 2009 as Hearing Loss Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Currently 31 million Americans have hearing loss. As baby boomers reach retirement age, starting in 2010, this number is expected to rapidly climb and nearly double by the year 2030; and

Whereas, It is estimated that 1.4 million people in the state of Michigan have hearing loss; and

Whereas, Among seniors, hearing loss is the third most treatable disabling condition behind arthritis and hypertension; and

Whereas, While 95 percent of people with hearing loss could be successfully treated with hearing aids and listening devices, only 22 percent currently use them; and

Whereas, Everyday approximately 3 in 1,000 newborns are born profoundly deaf or with a partial hearing loss making hearing loss the number one birth defect in America; and

Whereas, Hearing loss can greatly hinder everyday, ordinary communication, and people with a hearing loss often feel a sense of isolation and decreased self-confidence; and

Whereas, It is important that people with hearing loss in the state of Michigan be aware that there are many deaf/hard‑of-hearing organizations, audiologists and hearing professionals, assistive listening device manufacturers, and support groups that offer a large range of solutions to help people with hearing loss; now, therefore, be it further

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize May 2009 as Hearing Loss Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
