These projects promise to create many jobs and propel St. Clair County forward in the national spotlight. Jeff Katofsky and Rick Barreca deserve credit for their vision and courage. Together, these California investors are restoring the St. Clair Inn and Harrington Inn, constructing a new mixed-use building and preparing to rehabilitate the St. Clair Middle School, a combined $50 million investment. The single largest and most impactful project of 2018 is DTE’s new power plant in East China Township, slated to begin construction in 2019. This $1 billion gas-fired plant will replace the capacity of the St. Clair Power Plant at its closing in 2023, bringing a cleaner source of energy generation to Michigan. In addition, Enbridge is replacing the pipeline beneath the St. Clair River and building new gas lines to support the power plant. ITC is investing well over $30 million to upgrade substations. Combined, these utility giants are making critical investments in St. Clair County, ensuring that we will remain the leader of energy production in Southeast Michigan. We thank each of them for making 2018 a successful and notable year.

  • Transits of the Northwest Passage to End of the 2019 Navigation Season Atlantic Ocean ↔ Arctic Ocean ↔ Pacific Ocean
    TRANSITS OF THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE TO END OF THE 2019 NAVIGATION SEASON ATLANTIC OCEAN ↔ ARCTIC OCEAN ↔ PACIFIC OCEAN R. K. Headland and colleagues 12 December 2019 Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom, CB2 1ER. <[email protected]> The earliest traverse of the Northwest Passage was completed in 1853 but used sledges over the sea ice of the central part of Parry Channel. Subsequently the following 314 complete maritime transits of the Northwest Passage have been made to the end of the 2019 navigation season, before winter began and the passage froze. These transits proceed to or from the Atlantic Ocean (Labrador Sea) in or out of the eastern approaches to the Canadian Arctic archipelago (Lancaster Sound or Foxe Basin) then the western approaches (McClure Strait or Amundsen Gulf), across the Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean, through the Bering Strait, from or to the Bering Sea of the Pacific Ocean. The Arctic Circle is crossed near the beginning and the end of all transits except those to or from the central or northern coast of west Greenland. The routes and directions are indicated. Details of submarine transits are not included because only two have been reported (1960 USS Sea Dragon, Capt. George Peabody Steele, westbound on route 1 and 1962 USS Skate, Capt. Joseph Lawrence Skoog, eastbound on route 1). Seven routes have been used for transits of the Northwest Passage with some minor variations (for example through Pond Inlet and Navy Board Inlet) and two composite courses in summers when ice was minimal (transits 149 and 167).

  • Arctic Marine Transport Workshop 28-30 September 2004
    Arctic Marine Transport Workshop 28-30 September 2004 Institute of the North • U.S. Arctic Research Commission • International Arctic Science Committee Arctic Ocean Marine Routes This map is a general portrayal of the major Arctic marine routes shown from the perspective of Bering Strait looking northward. The official Northern Sea Route encompasses all routes across the Russian Arctic coastal seas from Kara Gate (at the southern tip of Novaya Zemlya) to Bering Strait. The Northwest Passage is the name given to the marine routes between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans along the northern coast of North America that span the straits and sounds of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Three historic polar voyages in the Central Arctic Ocean are indicated: the first surface shop voyage to the North Pole by the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Arktika in August 1977; the tourist voyage of the Soviet nuclear icebreaker Sovetsky Soyuz across the Arctic Ocean in August 1991; and, the historic scientific (Arctic) transect by the polar icebreakers Polar Sea (U.S.) and Louis S. St-Laurent (Canada) during July and August 1994. Shown is the ice edge for 16 September 2004 (near the minimum extent of Arctic sea ice for 2004) as determined by satellite passive microwave sensors. Noted are ice-free coastal seas along the entire Russian Arctic and a large, ice-free area that extends 300 nautical miles north of the Alaskan coast. The ice edge is also shown to have retreated to a position north of Svalbard. The front cover shows the summer minimum extent of Arctic sea ice on 16 September 2002.

UNITED STATES MILITARY LISTINGS Joint Chiefs of Staff Nets High Frequency Global Communications System (HF-GCS) The U.S. Air Force High Frequency (HF) Global Communications System (HF-GCS) is a worldwide network that currently consist of 14 high-power HF stations which provide air/ground HF command and control radio communications between all Department of Defense (DoD) ground agencies, aircraft and ships. Allied military and other aircraft are also provided support in accordance with agreements and international protocols as appropriate. The HF-GCS is not dedicated to any service or command, but supports all authorized users on a traffic precedence basis. On June 1, 1992, the former Global HF System (GHFS) was created by consolidating other U.S. Air Force (USAF) and U.S. Navy (USN) HF networks, including the USAF Global Command and Control System (GCCS), the Navy’s Ship-to-Shore High Command (HICOM) network, and the dedicated Strategic Air Command (SAC) Giant Talk System. The goal of the merger was to develop one worldwide non-dedicated HF network capable of providing Command and Control (C2) HF communications support to all authorized DoD aircraft and ground stations. As of 1 October 2002, the former GHFS network is now known as the HF Global Communications System (HF-GCS).

  • KNOW YOUR PT BOAT Folks
    KNOW YOUR PT BOAT Folks, Know Your PT Boat, July 1945, was created very near the end of WW II to use as an introduction to PT Boats for crews' in training. This booklet was created just before the end of a deadly, bitterly fought war with Imperial Japan. In this context it is not surprising that there are cartoons and text with depictions of Imperial Japanese forces that are offensive in today's context. We have left all but one of these offensive stereotyped images in this online version. Unedited xeroxed copies of the complete manual are available directly from PT Boats Inc. In this online version of the manual we have attempted to keep the flavor of the original layout while taking advantage of the Web's universal accessibility. Different browsers and fonts will cause the text to move, but the text will remain roughly where it is in the original manual. We have not attempted to correct any errors found in the original document. However, this text was captured by optical character recognition and then encoded for the Web which has added new errors we wish to correct. Please report any typos, or particularly annoying layout issues to [email protected] for correction.
