HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 2005-4642, By Representatives Moeller, Cody, Fromhold, Clibborn, Morrell and Orcutt
WHEREAS, One of the state's largest health care organizations, Kaiser Permanente, is marking its 60th anniversary in 2005; and
WHEREAS, Hundreds of thousands of Washington residents have entrusted their health to Kaiser Permanente since the 1940s, and more than 135,000 residents of Washington State currently receive their health care from Kaiser Permanente; and
WHEREAS, It was in Washington State that industrialist Henry Kaiser and pioneering physician Sidney Garfield, M.D., first collaborated to create innovative health plans with prepaid monthly premiums and an integrated medical care team that cared for workers (and their families) building Grand Coulee Dam in eastern Washington, and later building ships at the World War II Kaiser shipyards in Vancouver, Washington; and
WHEREAS, When World War II ended and the shipyards closed, one important legacy was the transformation of the wartime health plan for shipyard workers and their families into Kaiser Permanente, a health care organization that went on over the next 60 years to serve Washingtonians of all ages and races; and
WHEREAS, Kaiser Permanente today contributes not only to people's physical and mental health but to Washington's economic health as well by providing competitive rates on health insurance to businesses and union welfare trusts, and directly employs in Washington more than a thousand health care professionals, who practice together in six medical offices and three dental offices;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the State of Washington salute the contributions of Kaiser Permanente to the health care of Washingtonians, especially its emphasis over the past 60 years on preventive care, the management of chronic conditions, and health education and research; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be immediately transmitted by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to the Vancouver National Historic Reserve and the City of Vancouver.
HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 4642 was adopted.

WHEREAS, He was the technical advisor and actor in the Hollywood Academy Award winning production of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and played Dr. Spivey opposite Jack Nicholson; and
WHEREAS, He was a member of the Task Force on Mental Hospitals in Washington State, 1988, and the Chairman of the Western State Hospital Board beginning in 1989; and
WHEREAS, He continues to contribute to the community and has been a long time board member at Compass Health in Everett, working passionately for the homeless mentally ill;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the State of Washington recognize all the contributions made by Dr. Dean Brooks, as a distinguished academic, a pillar of the community, and a champion for the rights of the mentally ill; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be immediately transmitted by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives to Dr. Dean Brooks.

HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 2005-4646, By Representative P. Sullivan
WHEREAS, Washington State has been enriched by the immigration of people from every continent, and their experience and successes have added to the strength and diversity of communities in every corner of our state; and
WHEREAS, Irish immigrants played a major role in the settling of the Northwest and the founding of communities; and
WHEREAS, The struggles and successes of Saint Patrick demonstrate integrity, perseverance, and honor, qualities that the Irish people embrace and that serve as a model for all Washingtonians; and
WHEREAS, In addition to our Irish population, Washington shares many characteristics with Ireland, including the prominent Irish green of our flag and our famed potatoes that constitute over twenty percent of our nation's potato crop; and
WHEREAS, Irish-Americans played a key role in Washington State's history and continue to hold key leadership roles from local city councils to the House of Representatives and Senate; and
WHEREAS, Eloquence is a trait invaluable to the legislative process, and since eloquence, as legend has it, can be obtained from kissing the Blarney Stone, a helpful destination for all elected officials and public speakers everywhere;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Washington State House of Representatives recognize the contributions of Irish-Americans to the history and culture of Washington State and encourage all the citizens of Washington State to join in celebrating Saint Patrick's Day in honor of all those of Irish descent who proudly call the Evergreen State their home.

WHEREAS, The many and various successes of Evalyn Poff, who, among other equally impressive accomplishments holds two master's degrees, has performed as a professional trapeze artist, and has performed many activities that greatly enrich the character of our community; and
WHEREAS, Many people have benefited by Evalyn's dry wit, intelligence, and congeniality; and
