Rep. Derrick Hale, from the 14th District, offered the following invocation:
"In the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth. Let us remind the members of this floor that God was here first--not us. He allowed us to become a part of this great humankind. Let us remind ourselves that those who partake in evil, jealous and envious actions against one another are not conducting the house of the Lord or providing services to the constituents in which they are serving. May God reach out to those individuals who have envy and jealousy in their heart. In His name may we pray. Amen."
______

On that first River Day, 31 local community and municipal groups participated in over two dozen events centered around the Clinton River in a variety of different locations; and
Whereas, In observing this 1999 River Day and working in cooperation with the Friends of the Rouge River, the Huron River Watershed Council, and the Friends of the Detroit River, the Clinton River Watershed Council communities will join together to acclaim their rivers in numerous ways. Through clean-up efforts, canoe trips, fishing exhibitions, sharing of water quality information, storm drain stenciling, and wetlands walks, we will all learn a little more about our precious resource and further our commitment to the Clinton River's preservation. With its wonderful bounty, the river has affected us all; now, therefore, be it

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 12.
A concurrent resolution to express support for efforts to increase public awareness of the severe health risks related to obesity and to encourage people to make responsible lifestyle changes, and commemorate July 1999 as Obesity Awareness Month.
Whereas, One of the most significant public health issues facing Michigan and our country is the problem of obesity. This problem leads to a host of grave conditions, including hypertension, type two diabetes, cardiovascular disease, respiratory complications, and osteoarthritis. Public health officials across the country are especially concerned over the increased rates of obesity among young people; and
Whereas, Apart from the immeasurable costs to the quality of people's lives, obesity exacts an enormous financial toll on our society. Each year, billions of dollars are lost directly and indirectly, through lost productivity and costs of care. All of these costs, both human and economic, are especially frustrating due to the fact that a great portion of the problems created by obesity are preventable; and
Whereas, Traditional strategies of better nutrition and exercise have been accompanied by research that recommends that people spend less time in front of their televisions and increase their physical activity; and
Whereas, There needs to be an increase in public awareness of the fact that even relatively easy behavioral changes can save lives and money for our state. This is clearly an area where prevention offers significant rewards; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we express support for efforts to increase public awareness of the severe health risks related to obesity and to encourage people to make responsible lifestyle changes and designate July 1999 as Obesity Awareness Month; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Department of Community Health.
The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.
Pending the reference of the concurrent resolution to a committee,
Rep. Raczkowski moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the concurrent 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 concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted.
