What Storm Survivors Should Do After the Registration Deadline Has Passed
While the disaster assistance registration deadline has passed, there is still help available for survivors of February’s severe winter storms in Texas. Survivors are part of the whole community effort. The steps they take on their road to recovery and the decisions they make are very important.

Survivors may do the following:

Appeal FEMA’s Disaster Assistance Determination Letter — If you are found to be ineligible for disaster assistance following the winter storms, or you feel the award amount is insufficient, you have the right to an appeal. Carefully read your determination letter to understand why the decision was made and how you can receive the assistance you need. For more information, you may contact the FEMA helpline at 800-621-3362 (TTY: 800-462-7585).

HOUSTON, TX TO SERVE AS VACCINE SITE FOR PAN AMERICAN OLYMPIANS

HOUSTON, TX TO SERVE AS VACCINE SITE FOR PAN AMERICAN OLYMPIANS

The City of Houston has stepped up to support the Olympic movement, ensuring Pan American athletes have the opportunity to be vaccinated prior to the Tokyo Games this July. In partnership with the United State Olympic & Paralympic Committee and the Harris County – Houston Sports Authority, the City of Houston announced today plans to work with Panam Sports to ensure their accredited athletes, delegates, and officials can get vaccinated before heading to Toyko for the Games. Panam Sports is the international organization that represents the 41 National Olympic Committees of the Americas.

“We are happy to partner with our colleagues at Panam Sports and great friends in Houston to make vaccinations available to as many Tokyo-bound Panam athletes and officials as possible,” said Susanne Lyons, USOPC chair. “The commitment of the Olympic and Paralympic movements to honor the health of the athletes, delegations members and people of Japan – and to move opportunities like this one in Houston from idea to reality very quickly – is a testament to the power of this global community. We wish all a healthy and successful Tokyo Games.”

Athletes and delegation members could begin arriving as early as the first week of June and will continue through mid-July, using one of Houston’s two international airports. Some may decide to stay for training, and others will leave for Tokyo directly from Houston. Athletes, delegates, and officials already qualified or accredited for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the Cali 2021 Junior Pan American Games will be eligible. Their airfare will be paid for by Panam Sports.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is supplying the vaccine doses that will be distributed to the athletes with help from the City of Houston.

“Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the best tool there is to save lives during the pandemic. The City of Houston is proud to team up with Panam Sports and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee to provide vaccinations to athletes, delegates and officials. We are honored to participate in the process and support these champions as they prepare to compete in the Olympics and Junior Pan American Games,” said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.

HOUSTON, TX TO SERVE AS VACCINE SITE FOR PAN AMERICAN OLYMPIANS

The goal is to allow as many athletes as possible the opportunity to receive their vaccination before the Olympics and Junior Pan American Games. Depending on how many athletes decide to travel for their vaccine, Houston could be looking at giving Johnson & Johnson vaccines to as many as 2,500 delegates.

“Houston has done an amazing job of distributing vaccines, and with two international airports, it only made sense when asked if we could help, that we would try to find a way,” said Janis Burke, CEO of the Harris County – Houston Sports Authority. “Some of these elite athletes haven’t been able to gain access to vaccinations in their own countries. In order to reduce their risk and help ease the minds of all involved, we wanted to assist our neighboring countries where needed. What a shame it would be for an athlete that has worked their entire life for the shot of participating in the Olympics, only to get this far and not be able to attend in Tokyo. After all, the Spirit of Olympism is to provide friendship and fair play through sport, and we know that the world could use more of these elements right now.”

About the Harris County – Houston Sports Authority

The Harris County-Houston Sports Authority maintains the facilities and services the debt of the world-class, professional sports venues it was created to build. To support this primary mission, Houston Sports serves as a leading proponent for attracting sporting events to Houston and for promoting the city as a home for sports- related activities to ultimately enhance Houston’s economic development and bring a better quality of life for its residents. Houston Sports also created the annual Houston Sports Awards to honor the area’s outstanding athletes. www.HoustonSports.org

A Year After George Floyd’s Death: It’s Time to Turn Rhetoric into Meaningful Change

A Year After George Floyd’s Death: It’s Time to Turn Rhetoric into Meaningful Change

The following opinion piece, A Year After George Floyd’s Death: It’s Time to Turn Rhetoric into Meaningful Action, was published in The Texas Signal today, May 25, 2021, which is the one year of George Floyd’s death.
This week marks one year since the terrible public murder of George Floyd, which captured the attention of the entire country. The video of Floyd’s death sparked a summer of marches and protests as people demanded change. We witnessed countless commitments from our institutions, elected officials, and businesses to take action for racial justice and re-imagine our existing criminal legal system.
Houston mural in memory of George Floyd, painted by Houston artist Donkeeboy, located along a wall of Scott Food Store in the 3500 block of Tierwester.
However, despite all of the protests and commitments, a year after George Floyd’s death, Black people are being incarcerated at five times the rate of white people, and more than 180 Black people have been killed by police officers. The federal George Floyd act remains stalled in the US Senate. The Texas legislature resisted any progress with the state George Floyd Act, and instead prioritized doubling down on cash bail practices that were proven to be racially discriminatory in federal court.
The guilty verdict in the case of Floyd’s murderer, while important, cannot bring Floyd back. It cannot bring back Breonna Taylor, Daunte Wright, Adam Toledo, or Ma’Khia Bryant. The verdict doesn’t change the thousands upon thousands of black and brown people continuously forced to spend their lives in cages because of our nation’s “New Jim Crow” system of mass incarceration, whichcriminalizes communities of color for poverty, mental illness, substance use, and other public health issues.
Progress has been slow, but we cannot be deterred. With persistent effort, these unjust systems can be changed by the people to advance holistic community well-being and safety. The scale of our solutions much match the scale of the problem we face.
And there are glimmers of hope. In Harris County, we promised action and real change after George Floyd’s funeral service, and passed a sweeping package of reforms to move away from discriminatory systems of mass incarceration towards of true community safety and justice.
This starts with accountability in our justice system. Residents across the country and county are calling for more oversight and transparency in use of force polices. Our County’s Justice Administration Department is working with law enforcement agencies to develop a common policy to minimize use of force, and to create a publicly accessible dashboard documenting use-of-force incidents. We are exploring the possible legal powers of a civilian oversight board. And we are doing a deep dive into the racial disparities throughout all steps in our criminal justice system; we can’t fix problems if we don’t diagnose them.
The pandemic has reinforced that our community can only be strong if it is healthy. Our programs—including and especially public safety ones—will center health and community-based approaches. This year we will launch Holistic Alternative Responders Teams (HART), in which first responders trained in behavioral health and medical care will address many 911 calls that currently get routed to law enforcement as the default responder. We are developing violence interruption programs that include hospital- and community-based interventions to support survivors of violence and de-escalate conflicts.
We are also working hard to implement systemic changes to our misdemeanor cash bail system. We must respect everyone’s constitutional right to freedom and that means that no one should spend months in jail just because they cannot afford to pay their way out.
Finally, we are also increasing our support for indigent defense, because everyone has a right to quality legal counsel, regardless of their ability to pay. This means investing in a strong Public Defender Office and improving our system of appointed attorneys through a Managed Assigned Counsel program.
We need more than lip service to racial justice in order to truly move forward as a country. We have to redefine how we understand safe and healthy communities. The safest communities have affordable housing, quality public education, economic opportunity and accessible health care. We must invest in this new vision for our communities and for our country, from the White House to County Commissioner Precincts.
We can build a system truly rooted in community safety, health, and well-being, but we must sustain our efforts. My hope is that all of those people who marched, who protested, and who committed to racial justice one year ago will use this solemn occasion as an opportunity to redouble their efforts to realize this new vision. We must keep fighting, not just in honor of George Floyd’s memory, but for all those who continue to suffer and are still with us, in the hopes that stories like Mr. Floyd’s no longer happen in our country.

Sincerely,
Rodney Ellis

Texans offseason program Phase 3 begins May 24

The third phase of the Houston Texans’ offseason workout program starts Monday, May 24.

The phase includes 10 organized team activities and a mandatory minicamp that concludes the offseason program on June 15-17.

Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair told reporters on May 22 during the Texans Care Volunteer Day at the Harvard branch of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Houston that he is pleased with the way the team is coming together after meeting with coach David Culley and general manager Nick Caserio.

“I had a great meeting with Nick and coach, and we’re excited about the turnout (of players), how the team’s coming together, and where it’s going,” McNair said. “The players are excited about it (offseason program). The program’s voluntary. None of them have to (participate), but I think one reason they are is that they want to see what this staff is putting our team together.”

The Texans need every opportunity available to form cohesion as they seek to rebound from a 4-12 record and a third-place finish in the AFC South in 2020.

Shell to sell interest in Deer Park refinery to partner Pemex

Shell Oil Company, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc, has reached an agreement for the sale of its interest in Deer Park Refining Limited Partnership, a 50-50 joint venture between Shell Oil Company and P.M.I. Norteamerica, S.A. De C.V. (a subsidiary of Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex). The transaction will transfer Shell’s interest in the partnership, and therefore full ownership of the refinery, to Pemex, subject to regulatory approvals.

“Shell did not plan to market its interest in the Deer Park refinery; however, following an unsolicited offer from Pemex, we have reached an agreement to transfer our interest in the partnership to them,” said Huibert Vigevano, Shell’s Downstream Director. “Pemex has been our strong and active partner at the Deer Park Refinery for nearly 30 years, and we will continue to work with them in an integrated way, including through our on-site chemicals facility, which Shell will retain. Above all, we remain committed to the wellbeing of our employees and will work closely with Pemex to ensure the continued prioritization of safe operations. We’re proud of our 90-plus year history as an operator and neighbor at Deer Park and we will continue to play an active role in the community”.

The consideration for this transaction is $596 million which is a combination of cash and debt, plus the value of hydrocarbon inventory. This transaction allows Shell to further focus its refining footprint while also maintaining integration optionality and retaining value through its Chemicals and Trading activities.

The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2021.

Governor Abbott Celebrates 50th Anniversary Of The Texas Film Commission

Governor Greg Abbott today congratulated the Texas Film Commission (TFC) on its 50th anniversary of service to the state. Created in 1971 to encourage the development of the film industry in Texas, the TFC has since helped to grow local jobs and economies by promoting the Lone Star State as the premier destination for film, television, commercial, animation, visual effects, video game, and extended reality (XR) production.

“Texas has developed into such a vibrant destination for production across all media that the promise and potential recognized 50 years ago has been more than realized,” said Governor Abbott. “As we look to the future, I am certain that TFC will take lessons from, but not be limited by, the past 50 years and use these lessons to connect even more industry creatives and communities, to share even more of Texas’ treasures, and to help even more local economies to grow.”

“It is with Giant excitement, clear eyes, and full hearts that the Texas Film Commission looks to a Perfect World where we are more fully equipped to support our media production industries than ever before,” said Stephanie Whallon, Director, Texas Film Commission. “We are grateful for the tireless efforts expended over the past 50 years by all who have passed through our Office Space; they continue to hold special Places In The Heart.

“We look forward to increased production opportunities in towns and cities, like Paris, Texas, and Dallas, and across the state. We will continue to create jobs for our Urban Cowboy(s), Lonesome Dove(s), Hellion(s), and all the media professionals in between who continue to demonstrate True Grit in the fearless telling of Texas stories.

“As the lines and Borderlands between film, television, animation, video games, XR, and more continue to converge, the Texas Film Commission will continue to grow and evolve to be the Best Little Resource for media production in Texas. For filmmakers, developers, actors, writers, coders, editors, testers, and all of our promising creatives, the future shall be big and bright in the Lone Star State. We are honored and humbled to have been granted 50 years to help cultivate support, and share in your projects and Waking Life(s). Here’s to the next 50 and beyond.”

Connecting industry creatives and communities to economic opportunity, the Texas Film Commission in the Office of the Governor’s Economic Development and Tourism Division has attracted $1.66 billion in local spending and created more than 157,000 production jobs across the state from 2007 to 2020. More than 150 Texas communities are now designated as Texas Film Friendly having completed the Film Friendly Texas certification process. And the Texas Film Commission continues to enhance and expand programs and resources like the Texas Production Directory and Texas Film Trails; partnerships with organizations; and professional development opportunities.
