Senators Foster and McCabe offered the following resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 27--Requesting the Division
of Highways name the bridge on County Route 47, at the intersection
of New Hope Road in Pinch, Kanawha County, the "Cross Brothers'
Bridge".
Whereas, World War II brought a nation together as defenders
of peace and freedom to areas of the world that were being
overpowered and ruled by tyrannous dictators; and
Whereas, Americans, outraged by the brutality and degradation
taking place in other parts of the world, feared that America would
be targeted next. Americans joined the United States military,
anxious to help eliminate such abuse of power; and
Whereas, In Kanawha County, five brothers from the same family
became active in military service. Raymond T. Cross and Kenneth H.
Cross joined the United States Army in 1942, Arvil L. Cross joined
the United States Army in 1943, Melvin M. Cross joined the United
States Navy in 1943 and Dorsel E. Cross joined the United States
Marine Corps in 1946; and
Whereas, Proudly, all five of the Cross brothers, who served
their nation with pride and distinction, returned safely to the
United States following World War II; and
Whereas, It is fitting that a lasting tribute be made not only to honor five brothers who served their nation with pride and
distinction during World War II, but to also recollect a time when
the nation was unified to help defeat tyranny and oppression;
therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways
to name the bridge on County Route 47, at the intersection of New
Hope Road in Pinch, Kanawha County, the "Cross Brothers' Bridge";
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways is requested
to have made and be placed signs identifying the bridge as the
"Cross Brothers' Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of
the Department of Transportation.
Which, under the rules, lies over one day.
Senators Hunter and Minear offered the following resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 28--Requesting the Division
of Highways name the bridge on Route 46 and Armstrong Street
crossing New Creek in Keyser, Mineral County, the "Jonah E. Kelley,
World War II Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient, Memorial
Bridge".
Whereas, Jonah E. Kelley of Keyser, Mineral County, was born
April 13, 1923, in Rada, Hampshire County; and
Whereas, Jonah E. Kelley served his nation with pride and
distinction in the United States Army during World War II and attained the rank of Staff Sergeant; and
Whereas, S/Sgt. Jonah E. Kelley served with the 311th Infantry
of the U. S. 78th Infantry Division; and
Whereas, During World War II, S/Sgt. Jonah E. Kelley was in
charge of an E Company squad. On January 30, 1945, he led his men
through intense mortar and small arms fire in Kesternich, Germany.
S/Sgt. Kelley was wounded twice by mortar fragments, once in the
back and once in his left hand. S/Sgt. Kelley continued to lead his
men in their slow but steady advancement and never left them to
seek medical attention for his wounds; and
Whereas, At dawn on January 31, 1945, S/Sgt. Jonah E. Kelley
and his men resumed their attack and advanced to a point where
heavy automatic and small arms fire stalled their advancement.
S/Sgt. Kelley moved out alone, encountering an enemy machine gun
nest. Despite being shot several times, S/Sgt. Kelley emptied his
rifle at the enemy position. He died minutes later from the wounds
he received. The courage that S/Sgt. Kelley displayed inspired his
men to push forward and penetrate the last line of defense held by
the enemy; and
Whereas, In recognition of his heroic efforts and selfless
dedication to his men and the nation he served, S/Sgt. Jonah E.
Kelley was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor;
and
Whereas, It is fitting that a bridge be named in honor of
S/Sgt. Jonah E. Kelley as a lasting tribute to his service and
sacrifice to this nation; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways
to name the bridge on Route 46 and Armstrong Street crossing New
Creek in Keyser, Mineral County, the "Jonah E. Kelley, World War II
Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient, Memorial Bridge"; and, be
it
Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways is requested
to have made and be placed signs identifying the bridge as the
"Jonah E. Kelley, World War II Congressional Medal of Honor
Recipient, Memorial Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of
the Department of Transportation.
Which, under the rules, lies over one day.
Senators Unger, Dempsey, Edgell, Jenkins, Oliverio and
Prezioso offered the following resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 29--Designating the month of
December, 2006, as West Virginia Legislature's Back to School
Month.
Whereas, West Virginia was created as a representative
democracy in which all governmental power is inherent in the people
who exercise that power through the legislative, executive and
judicial branches; and
Whereas, In recent years, citizen interest in government and
knowledge of the political system has declined, in part, due to a
weakening belief in, and a lack of understanding of, the virtues and knowledge needed for a successful democratic form of
government; and
Whereas, Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of
Independence, stated, "There is but one method of rendering a
republican form of government durable, and that is by disseminating
the seeds of virtue and knowledge through every part of the state
by means of proper places and modes of education and this can be
done effectively only by the aid of the legislature"; and
Whereas, The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL)
has adopted a resolution which states that the operation of state
legislatures and the roles of individual legislators are often
little understood by citizens and that public understanding of the
institutions and processes of the government is critical to
building public trust and confidence; and
Whereas, The NCSL resolution also states that state
legislatures need to bring about better understanding of the
concept of representative democracy and should emphasize the
importance of compromise and the difficulty of resolving competing
interests in a diverse society; and
Whereas, Civic education is a vital tool to promote greater
understanding of the legislative institution and the role of
legislators in representative democracy; and
Whereas, The NCSL urges state legislatures to promote civic
education about representative democracy; and
Whereas, The NCSL has established America's Legislators Back
to School Program, a national event in which state legislators across the nation visit schools and classrooms to talk about the
legislature and to observe activities in the schools; and
Whereas, To meet the specific civic education needs of the
students of West Virginia, the West Virginia Legislature developed
the West Virginia Legislature's Back to School Program, modeled and
supported by the NCSL's America's Legislators Back to School
Program; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby designates the month of December,
2006, as West Virginia Legislature's Back to School Month; and, be
it
Further Resolved, That the Legislature hereby supports civic
education to promote greater understanding of the legislative
institution and the role of legislators in a representative
democracy; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the National
Conference of State Legislatures.
Which, under the rules, lies over one day.
Senators Prezioso, Dempsey, Edgell, Minear, Minard, Jenkins,
Unger, Oliverio, Plymale, McCabe and Hunter offered the following
resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 6--Designating January 25, 2006, as

Whereas, There are approximately 400,000 West Virginians with
disabilities; and
Whereas, People with disabilities have the right to receive
the support they need to exercise self-determination, achieve
independence and become productive employees in the workplace; and
Whereas, West Virginia's citizens with disabilities have
banded together in a collective group, called the Fair Shake
Network, to help bring their concerns to the forefront of public
awareness; and
Whereas, Such organizations as the Appalachian Center for
Independent Living, Mental Health Association of Monongalia County,
Mountain State Centers for Independent Living, Northern West
Virginia Center for Independent Living, West Virginia Advocates,
West Virginia Assistive Technology System, West Virginia
Developmental Disabilities Council, West Virginia Mental Health

and
Whereas, The purpose of Disability Advocacy Day is to increase

public of the public policy issues that are important to people
with disabilities; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby designates January 25, 2006, as "Disability Advocacy Day"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
