When the business began, the staff included Jay, Lori and couple of team members. Today, the Carnes Funeral Home organization consists of 20-plus funeral directors and embalmers with 70-plus team members. The Carnes Funeral Home organization not only provides options and services to families in the local communities, but it also handles multiple contracts, providing services for entities and families all across the state of Texas.

While the number of family owned and operated independent funeral homes is shrinking, Jay believes they are the essence of what they do as funeral directors. The Carnes family helps other families during some of their most difficult days. It is what Jay believed when he opened Carnes Funeral Home and it is what he believes today.

Jay lives for life and likes to celebrate it. One of his passions is the Carnes Parade Krewe. Over the years, Jay has built a collection of parade vehicles that he takes all across southeast Texas. Carnes employees, friends, friends of friends and community members all ride on them. Jay enjoys seeing children and adults catch beads and toys the krewe throws to them in parades, sometimes five in one day.

“This is what life is about,” Jay said. “It is about connecting with people and making them happy for whatever second or moment you have with them.”

The RAP team looks at its product as five steps of representation:

STEP 1 – IDENTIFYING THE PROPERTY. Everything covered in the policy will be documented with photo or video. This includes all interior and exterior finishes as well as a contents inventory, including model/serial numbers where available. A schematic drawing also will be done as dimensions of all rooms are recorded.

STEP 2 – IDENTIFYING THE PROPERTY POST LOSS. Following an event, the RAP team will attempt to make contact to determine whether a loss was sustained. If a loss was

THE CHAMBER


ADVOCACY AND LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRSThe Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce takes a stand on tough issues

such as taxes, new regulations, assessments, insurance and federal wage laws affecting its members. The advocacy committee and legislative affairs committees work in a collaborative effort to research, discuss and act on important public policy issues directly affecting the business community. In 2017, the committees attended Galveston County Day at the Capitol, participated in two Washington, D.C. fly-ins, wrote ten letters of support and three resolutions.

The Advocacy Committee promotes a positive and pro-active business environment in the Galveston area. The committee’s tasks include: Develop and support local governmental action to promote a strong business

climate and job growth opportunities Oppose local governmental action to inhibit a strong business climate and

diminish job growth opportunities Establish productive relationships between business interests and public officials Provide forums to inform public officials and candidates for public office on

issues impacting the business community Provide forums to educate the membership on issues impacting the business

community Communicate official chamber positions to the appropriate public officials prior

to their action on the issue Identify and support individuals to serve on public commissions and boards Hold public officials accountable for their actions and the resulting impact on

the business community. This may be accomplished by the circulation of public official voting records to the chamber membership on any issue the chamber has communicated an official position.

The Legislative Affairs Committee advocates through the legislature for member businesses to provide a voice not only at a state level, but a national level as well. Its primary functions include: Monitor, analyze and prioritize public policy issues which impact chamber

members and the Galveston business community Inform the business community on federal, state and local governmental issues Prioritize issues that may require special attention by the chamber Make recommendations to the board of directors regarding policy issues. For the second time, the chamber will team up with Sen. Larry Taylor and Rep.

Wayne Faircloth to host the 2018 Galveston Coastal Legislative Tour. In 2016, close to 70 Texas legislators participated in the event. The tour provides state legislators with a close-up view of what is happening in Galveston County and the significance the county plays in the economy of not only the state of Texas, but nationally and internationally.

EDUCATIONThe Education Committee connects education and business to enhance the

quality, accessibility, choice and usefulness of education for students of all ages to support the economic, social and political viability of Galveston Island. The committee partners with institutions such as Galveston Independent School District, Galveston College, Galveston Career Connect, Fanfare Lutheran Academy, Odyssey Academy, Texas A&M University at Galveston and University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston to offer educational programs such as Adventures in Maritime Careers, Lemonade Day Galveston County, CollegeTown Galveston, Mike Evans

Lemonade Day Galveston County, a free educational initiative, introduces youth to entrepreneurship and skills to prepare them for both business and life. The program culminates in the real-world experience of youth going into business by setting up their lemonade stand.

Lemonade Day Galveston County would not be possible without the overwhelming contributions from our investors and the commitment of community champions. The program continues to grow as we register and engage more and more young entrepreneurs.

For more information about Lemonade Day Galveston County, contact the Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce at 409-763-5326 or visit lemonadeday.org/galveston-county.

FRESH SQUEEZED

THE CHAMBER


O n national Lemonade Day, you hear tiny voices screaming, “Lemonade!” and you see

what appears to be miles and miles of lemonade stands. One young entrepreneur, wearing a yellow “I am an Entrepreneur” T-shirt, stands out above all as he proudly waves and greets his customers.

Although born with Down Syndrome and struggles to communicate, Victor Rodriquez demonstrates hard work, integrity and commitment to Lemonade

“LEMONADE DAY GALVESTON COUNTY IS THE PERFECT COLLABORATION OF BUSINESS AND EDUCATION. THE PROGRAM UNITES OUR REGION AND FAMILIES TOGETHER, INSPIRES YOUTH TO HAVE A DREAM, AND SYMBOLIZES THE FUTURE OF GALVESTON COUNTY BUSINESSES.”

Gina M. Spagnola, president and CEO of the Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce and Lemonade Day Galveston County director

LEMONADE DAY GALVESTON COUNTY IS PRESENTED BY

TEAM VICTOR included conversation pieces such as a display of his trophies, plaques, personal photos of fun activities, and information about the organizations to which he donates. And if customers were lucky, he even danced for them. With the proceeds, he took his class and teachers to the movies and lunch, he donated a portion to the nonprofit organization Galveston Houston Families Exploring Down Syndrome (GHFEDS), he bought school supplies for his entire classroom, he saved a little and, best of all, he rewarded himself.

Victor graduated in 2017 making him ineligible to participate this year, but he will continue to operate his business and raise awareness for Down Syndrome. Victor is the heart of Lemonade Day Galveston County. At the 2017 George P. Mitchell Entrepreneurs of the Year Awards, the Galveston Regional Chamber of Commerce not only honored him as the winner of Lemonade Day Galveston County but inducted him as the first member of the Lemonade Day Galveston County Hall of Fame.

Victor inspires us to dream big. Even though faced with life’s most challenging obstacles, he continues to shine and spread the light of his joy and happiness on all he meets. He is courageous, handsome, powerful, a true leader and, above all, Victor is an entrepreneur.

Day Galveston County. To Victor, Lemonade Day Galveston County shows others with the disorder that anything is possible.

Victor began his young entrepreneur career in 2013 helping his sister with her lemonade stand. The following year, Victor overheard his sister say she did not want to participate again and he firmly said, “I want to do it!” So, alongside his best friend and business partner, they opened their business called Power Rangers Lemonade Stand.

In 2015, Victor’s health declined. He was diagnosed with hypothyroid and suffered severe hearing loss. Sadly, he was unable to participate in Lemonade Day Galveston County. But in 2016, Victor bounced back and opened his own business called Victor’s Lemonade. With his enthusiasm and commitment to the program, it is no surprise Victor has always earned a trophy.

In 2017, his amazing team of friends participated with him as Team Victor and they earned the title of Lemonade Day Galveston County Business of the Year with a profit of $1,315. They also won the Fan Favorite contest on social media with close to 3,000 votes. To attract customers, Victor’s strategy

THE ISLAND LIFE

T he story of Galveston is a page-turner — adventure, tragedy, opulence, generosity

and sacrifice, bound by a strong streak of grit and gumption that are trademarks of its residents even today.

When Europeans arrived on Galveston Island, they found it inhabited by Karankawa Indians. The first noted visitor was Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca, who landed here in 1528.

French privateer Jean Lafitte made his home in Galveston in 1817, and rumors still are whispered of Lafitte’s treasure buried somewhere on the Island.

Galveston became an established port under the Mexican government in 1825. City leaders developed the wharves and railroads at the only deep-water port between New Orleans and Tampico, Mexico.

In 1836, the year that Texas gained its independence from Mexico and became a republic, the city of Galveston was born.

As one of the first settlements in Texas, Galveston served as the state’s primary port for almost a century, as well as a major hub for immigration. It was a gateway to Texas

HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT

French privateer Jean Lafitte established the colony of Campeche on Galveston Island in 1817.

Bishop’s Palace is an ornate Victorian-style house designed by the renowned island architect Nicholas J. Clayton in 1892.


GALVESTON FIRSTS (IN THE STATE OF TEXAS)As one of Texas’ earliest settlements and a major thoroughfare for immigration and trade, Galveston has been home to many of the state’s “firsts” throughout the years. Here are just a few:

Galveston often was described as the “Ellis Island of the West” or a “Second

Ellis Island.” More than 130,000 immigrants came through the Port of

Galveston from 1846 to 1948.

and represented the promise of the American dream.

The island grew into a bustling center of commerce with wharves, cotton warehouses, banks, stores and an opera house. Cattle ranching thrived on the Island where cattle could quickly be shipped out.

From the late 1800s, through the Roaring ’20s and decades following,

HISTORY

cowboys drove herds of cattle down the seawall, steering them left at 37th Street and to the port.

By 1899, Galveston boasted of more millionaires per capita than any other U.S. city. Elegant mansions were built in the forward-looking city that had equipped itself with telegraphs, telephones and electricity.

But in 1900, the city was devastated by a hurricane.

On Sept. 8, 1900, the storm swept ashore with winds estimated at up to 140 mph and a storm surge of nearly 16 feet. While an exact death toll isn’t known, it is estimated that 6,000 to 8,000 of the island’s 37,000 residents perished in the 1900 Storm.

Afterward, Galveston literally lifted itself up. City leaders constructed a seawall and raised the level of 500 city blocks.

While the city lost its footing as a leading cultural and business center and even as the state’s primary seaport in the aftermath of the storm, Galveston would eventually rebound.

The tenacity of those who rebuilt the city after the 1900 Storm lives on today in Galveston’s residents, who once again rebuilt after Hurricane Ike damaged about 80 percent of the island’s homes and buildings in 2008.

In 2016, Galveston played host to more than 6.5 million visitors, who spent $780 million and generated a $1.1 billion impact for the local economy. They are attracted to the same features that brought visitors 100 years ago — the island’s natural beauty, first-class dining and hotels, the arts, cultural activities and recreational attractions.

DSW Homes, community builders.......

Not long ago, DSW Homes put an 86-year-old Galveston woman exactly where she most wanted to be — back in her home.

She had been using a portable toilet and camp stove for five years. Hurricane Ike had wrecked her home in 2008.

DSW put extra crews on the job to get her back in a newly restored home quickly.

“That’s what we do — take care of people in the disaster recovery programs,” said Steve Mataro, one of company’s partners. “We came as a guest to this beautiful island and this loving, embracing, caring community entrusted us with its greatest asset — its people.”

Mataro is the face of the machine that with partners Jim Schumer Donald Gerratt and 100 other “Rock Star” team employees works together as one rebuilding homes for people who have lost almost everything.

He recalled that when the company’s work was done, the woman’s power bills dropped from $500 a month to $70 — a big deal for a senior citizen on a fixed income.

DSW Homes came to Galveston after Hurricane Ike — and after some of the initial builders in the disaster recovery program had failed. Since then, the company had helped in bringing over 3,000 families back into their new or rehabbed homes not just here in Galveston County

but across other parts of the Country that have been affected by a disaster.

For the past serveral years, the company has been Rated No. 1 in the country in disaster recovery programs.

Mataro pointed to the company’s involvement in many aspects in the community. It’s outreach ranges from the Old Central Cultural Center to Big Brothers Big Sisters and most recently SMART Family Literacy.

“We came here, wanting to be a good neighbor,” Mataro said. “We were welcomed. The best part is, we’re just getting started.”

G alveston Island’s housing scene is a delightful fusion of styles from throughout the ages. From stately mansions to charming cottages to the conversions of downtown buildings into residential lofts, Galveston’s

older neighborhoods have options to fit any budget. West End neighborhoods offer modern homes and raised houses that overlook the beach or bay. For the more traditional homebuyer, ranch-style homes built from the 1950s to 1980s can be found in neighborhoods throughout much of the Island.

Renters also have a variety of housing styles from which to choose. Many houses are available for rent, as well as more contemporary apartment complexes and quaint loft apartments in the upper floors of downtown Victorian buildings.

G alvestonians place a high regard on education. The city boasts a strong public and private school system that gives parents and students

several options. Some graduates continue their education on Galveston Island at one of three institutions of higher learning: Galveston College, the University of Texas Medical Branch and Texas A&M University at Galveston.

EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

EDUCATION


GALVESTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

The Galveston Independent School District serves 7,010 students on Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula, with two high school programs, five middle school programs and six elementary schools. The boundary of those schools stretches from Oppe Elementary in the West End of Galveston Island to Crenshaw Elementary and Middle School in Crystal Beach on Bolivar Peninsula.

Instead of following the rigid boundaries of school zones, Galveston ISD follows a unique “Schools of Choice” model, which allows all students to apply to any program in the district that has space. There are magnet programs, neighborhood style schools and charter-based schools.

GISD offers a tremendous amount of instructional opportunities at its campuses with magnet programs dotting the district and numerous certification programs that allow students to secure living wage jobs before or after graduation. Middle schools offer Pre-Advanced Placement

The new San Jacinto campus is home to two early childhood programs: The Moody Early Childhood Center, serving children from birth to age 2; and the San Jacinto Early Childhood Center serving 3-year-olds.

The student body is ethnically and culturally diverse. Of families with children attending GISD schools, 74 percent of the students enrolled are economically disadvantaged. Galveston schools house diverse student populations as reflected by the district’s demographics — 45 percent Hispanic, 25 percent African American, 30 percent white and other.

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MEDICAL BRANCH

From the time UTMB Health was established as the state’s first medical school in 1891, the university has trained more health care professionals than any other Texas academic health center. UTMB Health is now in an era of unprecedented growth, with continually expanding enrollment in its schools of Medicine, Nursing, Health Professions and Graduate Biomedical Sciences.

To accommodate that growth and help address critical health care workforce shortages in Texas and beyond, UTMB Health is building a new Health Education Center, expected to open on the Galveston Campus in

2019. The $90.4 million facility will support interprofessional education to ensure UTMB Health graduates are well prepared to work as part of a health care team, and it will feature advanced simulation technology to help students hone their skills in a low-risk, high-realism environment.

Through innovative curricula, hands-on learning and an emphasis on working together as an interprofessional team, UTMB Health is training the health care leaders of tomorrow, and advancing the institution’s mission — to improve health for the people of Texas and around the world — over the next 125 years and beyond.

Geographic Channel to discuss their research on the history of hurricanes.

MARITIMEThe Port of Galveston has long been an anchor of the

city’s economic base, providing an estimated $3.8 billion economic impact for the state of Texas, about 13,000 job and $975 million in income. The port sees about 6.4 million short tons of cargo annually and also ranked as the fourth busiest port for cruise embarkations in 2016. About 869,000 cruise passengers set sail from Galveston Island that year, according to a report from the Cruise Lines International Association.

OUT & ABOUT

Galveston Island is known for its great restaurants, historical charm and first-rate attractions, but it’s also a popular place to take it easy. Whether you’re on vacation, visiting for work, or live on the island, the great outdoors offer endless opportunities to relax and have fun.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

SEAWALLAt 10.4 miles long, the seawall attracts walkers, joggers, bicyclists, surfers, sunbathers, skaters and sightseers year-round. It’s a great place to exercise or just kick back and watch the waves at sunrise.

FISHINGFor many anglers, fishing isn’t just a pastime — it’s a way of life. From surf fishing to offshore charters, the Galveston Bay area hosts more sports fishermen than any other spot on the Texas Coast, with more than 100 species of fish caught here regularly. Some local favorites include speckled trout, redfish, flounder, golden croaker, drum and Spanish mackerel.

SURFINGWith 32 miles of beachfront, it’s no surprise that surfing is a popular activity in Galveston. The city has designated surfing areas, and surfboard rentals are available at most of the surf shops along Seawall Boulevard.

KAYAKINGGalveston Island State Park offers three kayak trails that are largely protected by breakwater, ranging in length from 2.6 to 4.8 miles. Artist Boat also provides guided interpretive tours to places of natural significance on Galveston Island and Galveston Bay via kayak.

OUT & ABOUT

BIRDINGThree-fourths of all North American species travel through Galveston during fall and spring migration, and bird sanctuaries thrive from the eastern tip of the Island to Galveston Island State Park on the west end. One of the most popular birding destinations is the Dos Vacas Muertas Bird Sanctuary, which sits on a 6-acre plot of land on the west end of Galveston Island.

OUTDOOR SPORTSIf outdoor sports are more your style, the island has plenty to offer. Pick up a game of beach volleyball at courts on East Beach, Stewart Beach or Sea Star Base Galveston. Grab a racket and head to one of 20 public tennis courts. Slow things down with a round of golf at Galveston Country Club (open to visitors for golf and restaurant facilities), Moody Gardens Golf Course and Magic Carpet Golf on Seawall Boulevard.


OUT & ABOUT


T here have long been rumors of hidden treasure on Galveston Island, but the truth is that

residents and visitors find treasure every day in the many shops and boutiques around the Island. From the latest fashions to one-of-a-kind antiques, Galveston retail outlets offer something for everyone.

Getting geared up for the beach? The seawall is the place to be. Beachwear, beach supplies, surfing gear and souvenirs can be found in the many shops along the beach front.

Head to The Strand Historic District for antiques, vintage clothing or artwork created by some of Galveston’s finest artists. Local galleries are filled with original artwork and collectibles, custom framing and jewelry. You’ll also find specialty gift shops that offer intriguing finds for foodies, chocoholics, bookworms, athletes and clothes horses.

things home décor. Broadway also boasts block after block of fabulous Victorian homes from which to get inspiration for your own home remodeling project.

When the shopping is done, replenish your strength at one of Galveston’s many eateries. With

more than 100 restaurants, the island is a diner’s dream — and the food often comes with a view. Many of the eateries are tucked into historic structures, nestled in courtyards or overlooking the water.

Whether you are up for a flavorful adventure or prefer to stick to good old-fashioned country cooking, this small town with big city tastes has you covered. Greek, German, Czech, Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican and Continental cuisine are among the offerings from around the world. Galveston even does barbecue and Cajun, burgers and beer, and macaroni and cheese.

Don’t forget to save room for dessert. Key lime pie, saltwater taffy, tres leches cake, Italian ices, baklava, pecan pie and gourmet cupcakes are a few local favorites.
