    No. 1 STATE OF MICHIGAN Journal of the Senate 90th Legislature REGULAR SESSION OF 1999 Senate Chamber, Lansing, Wednesday, January 13, 1999. 12:00 Noon. In conformity with the requirements of the Constitution of the state of Michigan, the Senators of the 90th Legislature of the state of Michigan assembled in the Senate Chamber in the Capitol at Lansing this day (being the second Wednesday of January, 1999), at twelve o’clock noon, and were called to order by the Honorable Dick Posthumus, Lieutenant Governor of the state of Michigan and President of the Senate. 2 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE [January 13, 1999] [No. 1 Reverend Steven J. Fisher of First United Church of Christ of Richmond offered the following invocation: Almighty God, from whom comes the authority to govern and the particular privilege of self-government, with grateful hearts and high hopes, many gather in this place looking forward to the new year and the new legislative session. Grant Your wisdom to these Senators as they balance competing interests and priorities. Grant them Your courage to do right when they perceive their political self-interest to clash with the greater good. Grant them Your perspective that they might send away empty any seeking to abuse the political process while hearing the needs of the children and the voiceless and the most vulnerable among us. Grant them Your grace that they might enjoy their work and grow in respect for one another and remain worthy of the respect of their colleagues and their constituencies. Almighty God, bless these public servants, many of whom have sacrificed so much in their private lives to be here to make a difference for good for many in Michigan.

Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. Now working as the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death­twice. 9781629370491 Pub Date: 11/1/14 Author Bio Ship Date: 11/1/14 Clint Malarchuk was a goaltender with the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. $25.95 Hardcover Originally from Grande Prairie, Alberta, he now divides his time between Calgary, where he is the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, and his ranch in Nevada.
