Rev. Burton Kincaid, Pastor of the First Free Methodist Church in Owosso, offered the following invocation:

“Heavenly Father, it is with joy that we come in the name of our Lord. As we stand together, we thank You for each one of these: for the opportunities, the responsibilities, and the privileges that we enjoy in our state, and also the opportunity to serve our state. So we just pray for each one here, right now. As we see the sunshine out today, we think about what the Psalms had said, ‘This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it,’ so we do just that. We ask that You give us strength for the work for this day. We realize that there is pressure, there is turmoil, there is frustration, and this group of people are put here to work for the good of our state. I know that there are different points of view, but along with this Lord, give the insight, give the direction, give the guidance and give the encouragement that each one might be able to do what is right. Lord, You have told us in Your word that if any of us lacked wisdom, we can ask of You and You will give it to us liberally, and that You do not get after us either. So give the wisdom today, and Lord, give the assurance that You can give in these days of unrest. Be in each one of the decisions, and be with each person here. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.”

Rep. Scott moved that Reps. Mans and Schermesser be excused from today’s session. The motion prevailed.

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Caul, Rivet, Sheltrown, Neumann, Frank, Hanley, Allen, Howell, Green and Stamas offered the following resolution: House Resolution No. 187. A resolution honoring Marvin Valentine upon the occasion of his retirement. Whereas, With his retirement as Director of Camp Rotary, Mr. Valentine brings to a close an outstanding career of thirty years as a dedicated advocate and leader of young people. We salute him for his commitment to building and running one of the finest scout camps in the nation, Camp Rotary; and Whereas, Mr. Valentine’s contributions to Camp Rotary and the Lake Huron Council of Boy Scouts of America are immeasurable. He has touched the lives of more than 60,000 young people, instilling strong values and exhibiting the highest standards of citizenship. He sets a fine example of integrity and unselfishness for our children and young adults; and Whereas, Mr. Valentine came to Camp Rotary in November 1969. With his wife, Justine, they dedicated years of hard work and sacrifice to make Camp Rotary the premier camping facility it is today. The camp is nestled among the tall white pines of northern Michigan, boasting a beautiful lake with abounding wildlife. The 1100 acre camp is a perfect setting of nature for the outdoor educational program Mr. Valentine initiated; and No. 63] [September 30, 1999] JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE 1845

Whereas, Camp Rotary is utilized year-round by scout troops and schools from all over the Midwest. They have hosted numerous football and band camps. Mr. Valentine’s commitment to guiding and teaching these young people is to be commended. He is a true example of a man leaving his profession and all who came in contact with him are better for knowing and working with him; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body dedicate this document to honor Mr. Marvin Valentine upon his retirement from Camp Rotary. This document serves as a testimony of recognition for his unwavering service to young people. May he know of the high esteem in which he is held by the people of the State of Michigan; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Mr. Marvin Valentine as evidence of our appreciation and gratitude. Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee, Rep. Raczkowski 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. Tabor, DeHart, Kelly, Spade, Kukuk, Garcia, Kowall, DeVuyst, Cassis, Bishop, Mead, Faunce, Shulman, Woronchak, Thomas, LaForge, Jelinek, Birkholz, Vander Roest, Rocca, Ehardt, Van Woerkom, LaSata, Hager, Jamnick, Sheltrown, Lockwood, Scranton, Pappageorge, Schauer, Jacobs, Hale, Baird, Reeves, Lemmons, Julian, Toy, Koetje, Pumford, Vear, Richner, Green, Brater, Bogardus and DeRossett offered the following resolution: House Resolution No. 188. A resolution designating the second week of October as Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week in Michigan. Whereas, Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas often referred to as the ‘silent killer’ and is the leading cause of poisoning deaths in the United States; and Whereas, Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, burning eyes, confusion, disorientation, drowsiness, and even loss of consciousness. When inhaled, carbon monoxide interferes with the body’s ability to absorb oxygen, and in severe cases, can cause brain damage and death; and Whereas, The best way to prevent death and illness through carbon monoxide poisoning is to ensure all appliances are well-serviced and maintained. It is also important to utilize carbon monoxide detectors as they can warn you of failures in fuel-burning appliances and other heat-producing sources; and Whereas, Carbon monoxide detectors are credited with saving close to 3,500 lives from 1993 to present.

Mr. Simpson is nationally recognized for his work with African-American IV drug users. He is also the founder of Life Points Harm Reduction Outreach Program, which was the first licensed syringe exchange program in the State of Michigan.

Rep. Gosselin offered the following resolution: House Resolution No. 191. A resolution honoring Marye Miller. Whereas, It is with great admiration that we honor Marye Miller upon receipt of the Blue Cross Blue Shield 1999 Claude S. Pepper Award for service to senior citizens. Ms. Miller has been the director of the Older Person’s Commission in Rochester for over 26 years. Her dedication has created excellence in a public place that is of great importance to the senior citizens in the greater Rochester community—the Older Person’s Commission; and Whereas, Due to Ms. Miller’s commitment to establishing a welcoming atmosphere and efficient service, the Older Person’s Commission has grown dramatically. In 1974, 250 seniors participated in the Older Person’s Commission. Today, the center serves over 7,000 seniors through their numerous and varied programs and services; and Whereas, Ms. Miller spends time listening to the seniors visiting the Older Person’s Commission. Her love for the older persons of our community shows in everything she does, and she never plans a program or activity without their input; and Whereas, Important to Ms. Miller is the preservation of independence for senior citizens. She coordinated the receipt of a community grant enabling seniors to receive snow removal and lawn maintenance, helping them to remain in their homes. She maintains a Mini Bus program, serving all citizens 60 years and older, seven days a week, and a Meals on Wheels program, serving hot lunch and cold dinner. In conjunction with Meals on Wheels, Ms. Miller designed a Nutrition Risk Program, which received President George Bush’s Points of Light Award for assessing the nutritional needs of frail seniors; and Whereas, The Older Person’s Commission is a bustling center with active seniors that make one doubt their true age. Activities range from woodcarving, aerobics, silver smithing, and computer Internet classes, to card games and line dancing. Doctors, lawyers, political candidates, and Y2K awareness speakers are just a few of the featured programs in a typical month. There is a trip planned for most weekends, such as to Detroit Symphony Orchestra concerts, bus tours of Fall Colors (complete with a trip to the cider mill), and even a trip to New York City for Christmas shopping; and Whereas, Ms. Miller’s commitment is also demonstrated by her active participation in many senior organizations at the local, state, and national levels; and Whereas, With a visionary leader like Ms. Miller, it is likely the Older Person’s Commission will continue to expand in programs and services. She consistently looks toward the future, setting goals with the staff and senior citizens. Ms. Miller recently held a seminar with community leaders regarding a ten-year plan for the Older Person’s Commission; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we commend Ms. Marye Miller for her service to senior citizens in the greater Rochester area and applaud her upon receiving the Blue Cross Blue Shield Claude S. Pepper Award; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Ms. Miller as evidence of our esteem. Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee, Rep.
