Corporate Contributions Are Not Permitted. March 2019 Message from Cathy Frederickson President, Galveston Republican Women I am reading a book by Edward Bullmore entitled The Inflamed Mind. It reminds me of my journey on the way to pursuing a career in neuroimmunology where I took a side trip to support research in Zinc in Biology. I then returned to the place where I left the field and found it was part of my tapestry all along. Meanwhile many wonderful discoveries have been made that can shape the future of medicine in America. There are many scientists now exploring the role of inflammation in many diseases accepting the possible roles that controlling inflammation can have on reducing disease and discomfort. That may also be an answer for the Inflamed state of our country. We can request that others join us in a Peace march toward truth with kinder but clear words. By being conversant on our platform issues, we may be able to turn the tide to mutually respectful discussion instead of the trend of inflaming emotions to create division. Let’s move forward with a common goal of bringing unity back to America. Take a step issue by issue to listen to the Praeger University lessons on our important platform issues. Climate Change is explained in clear language so you can explain the truth about the data explained by Professor Richard Lindzen from MIT and Bjorn Lomborg from the Copenhagen Consensus. Border Security makes logical sense when the facts are presented by those who have experience in our national defense. An interview with the author of Alienated America was another call to action. One of the targets of the left is our churches. We need to lead by example and live a life of joy filled service to others bringing our children and grandchildren back to the warmth of community experienced in our houses of worship. When they feel welcome we strengthen our Judeo Christian national tradition. There is a cultural war emerging against the values that built our strong unified country. We must stand with those who are willing to speak the truth so they can withstand the pressures challenging their freedom of speech. Candace Owens spoke at the recent CPAC conference with passion and clarity about her commitment to American values. She has been verbally attacked with many leftists trying to keep her off college campuses for fear that young adults might follow her reasoning learning to think for themselves. She is a brave young women deserving of our encouragement! Please send her a note! There are many ways each of us can join together to ensure a better world for our families beginning by standing together for Truth! Join us to hear our Sheriff Henry Trouchesset share the truth about national security and bring a friend to join our passion for a United States of America! Make your reservations now for March 20th!

If you are the spouse, a staff member, a friend, or a contributor to an elected official, please ask them to contact me about their legislative actions. I realize it’s a busy time of the year, but GRW supported, and we contributed to, and helped elect our representatives. They should keep us informed and I need your help in encouraging them to do so. SB 2 and HB 2 have been voted out of committee. These identical bills pertain to limiting the growth of city and county property tax revenue on existing developments to 2.5%. Mayes Middleton has asked GRW to help get these bills passed. Please contact representatives urging them to vote in favor of these bills. The Port of Galveston wants to develop Pelican Island, which would bring more industry, jobs, and economic benefit to the County of Galveston. For the past 20 years, the Port of Houston has owned approximately 1100 acres on Pelican Island and does not intend to develop the property within the next 50 to 70 years, if ever. The Port of Houston also owns property on Port Bolivar and again has no intention to develop it.

  • CH7 Bridges and Tunnels Pp340
    Bridges and Tunnels Fifty miles inland, on a flat plain drained by small bayous, Houston in its early days did not seem destined to become a city of bridges. There were no rivers to cross and no nearby bays or lakes to block the city’s growth. Although Houston was free of impediments, the addition of a man-made barrier would be the event that propelled Houston into the ranks of the nation’s largest cities. Dredging of the Houston Ship Channel to a depth of 25 feet (7.6 m) was completed in June 1914, and the channel was officially opened by President Woodrow Wilson on November 10 of that year. The rest, one might say, is history, as the ship channel spurred Houston’s industrial boom. The construction of one great work of infrastructure, the Houston Ship Channel, would ultimately necessitate other construction projects to bridge the man-made divide. Houston would not become a great bridge city on the order of New York City or San Francisco, but would still develop a nice collection of bridges and tunnels to complement its freeway system. In comparison to most cities in the United States, Houston’s major bridge crossings are a relatively modern development, with the first high-level bridge span opening in 1973. With newness comes better design and wider spans, but as this history shows, Houston’s bridges have all had their share of problems. The complete history of Houston’s bridges, however, predates the construction of the modern Houston Ship Channel. While Houston was still a mosquito-infested outpost on Buffalo Bayou, one of the nation’s more prosperous cities was thriving just 50 miles (80 km) to the south—on Galveston Island.

TO MEET GROWING NATURAL GAS DEMAND. 1 Why LNG as a Marine Fuel? • New international regulations effective January 01, 2020 require the shipping industry to burn fuels with <0.5% Sulphur (SOx) globally • In certain regions (US, Europe), the regulations are more stringent <0.1% • LNG has much lower emissions than conventional marine fuels • LNG emits zero SOx • LNG has virtually no particulate matter • LNG emits 90% less NOx vs. conventional HFO • LNG as a marine fuel is less costly when compared to low Sulphur fuel oil Pilot LNG Source: DNV-GL 2020 2 LNG as a Marine Fuel: Emissions • LNG has a much better emissions performance than conventional fuels and solutions. • LNG emits zero Sox, and very low particulate matter. • Compared to existing heavy marine fuel oils, LNG can, depending on the technology used, emit 80% to 90% fewer NOx emissions. • Utilizing best practices and appropriate technologies to minimize methane leakage, realistic reductions of GHG by 10-20% are achievable, with a potential for up to 25% compared with conventional oil-based fuels.

  • City of Galveston Thoroughfare Plan Galveston Planning & Development Regulations
    City of Galveston Thoroughfare Plan Galveston Planning & Development Regulations ADOPTED DECEMBER 13, 2012 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Overview The City of Galveston Thoroughfare Plan, adopted December 13, 2012 as an addendum to the 2011 Comprehensive Plan, provides a foundation for the City’s ongoing efforts to improve mobility, access, and circulation on Galveston Island. The Thoroughfare Plan includes a statement of purpose, a review of the plan’s relationship to the Comprehensive Plan, a review of important resources and references, a list and map indicating locally-determined designations of functional classifications for streets in the City’s thoroughfare network, and a list and map describing planned improvements to existing thoroughfares and the general location of new thoroughfares recommended to address access and circulation challenges. 1.2.
