THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Amid a growing partisan gap between Democrats and
Republicans, a new poll shows that 71 percent of Ameri-
cans believe the coimtry's politics have reached a danger-
ous low point in the I rump era.
According to a Washington Post-University of Mary-
land poll released Saturday, lhe majority of participants
who said politics have reached a dangerous low point said
the climate is a “new normal,” not “temporary.”
Some 70 percent said divisions today are at least as big
as they were during the Vietnam War era Tor individuals
polled w ho were adults during the Vietnam War, the per-
centage was higher than the average — percent
A majority of those polled. 51 percent said President
Donald Trump deserves “a lot'' of the blame lor the dys-
function in the American political system, below the
share placing as much blame on money in politics <65
percent), wealthy donors > 56 percent) or people with ex-
treme v iew s 156 percent)

with his authentic and caring man-
ner makes him adept at relating to
people of all walks of life, inside
and outside his district. His focus
on listening and hearing out others
is exceptional. He is an effective
decisionmaker, unafraid to ask the
important questions, and more than
able to confront issues head on to
act on his values and principles
Bob selflessly makes himself avail-
able to the community he serves so
well, freely participating in com-
munity meetings and responding to
phone calls and email inquiries w ith
a sense of urgency and purpose
Working with him and Council
Member Johnson so closely on the
tank farm issue has demonstrated to
me. and so many others in the kake-
wood area, that Bob is the consum-
mate teammate and a real asset to

in a District 5 Council Member, look
no further than Bob Hoskins when
you cast your vote this November!

Ixiwanis ( lull apple sale underway
I he year was 1949, Harry Truman was president, a
postage stamp cost 5 cents. John Wayne was a box office
hit in the “Sands of Iwo Jima' and "She Wore a Yellow
Ribbon” J \ Ward was the mayor of Baytown and a sin-
gle copy of The Bay town Sun cost a nickel.
h was also the year the Kiwanis Club ot Bay town start- j
ed its now-famous apple sale.
Wei! folks, October is National Apple Month and it's
apple time again m Bay town lhe apples arrived Friday |
and residents should make plans to pick them up
There are plenty of healthy reasons to eat apples:
Apples don’t have fat. cholesterol or sodium, which
may help you maintain heart health and a healthy weight, j
Apples do have tots of fiber - both soluble and insoluble
kinds Fiber may help promote heart health and maintain
regularity.
Apples contain small amounts of potassium, which
may promote heart health and help maintain healthy (
bkxxi pressure
Here's an even better reason to lake a bite out of the
apple sale: One hundred percent of lhe proceeds help the
K warns Club support community programs
Kiwamans sponsor Key t lubs at Robert E. Tee, Ross.
S Sterling. Bay town Christian Academy and Barbers Hill
high schools, annual scholarships to local students, make |
donations to Relay tor I ite. Goodfellows. Habitat for
Humanity Special Rodeo. Bay Area Homeless Services.
American Diabetes Association, local food pantries, proj-
ect graduations, participate in the Gator Bike Ride, serve |
as a Partner in I ducation tor Alamo I lementary School,
help Special ()ly mpics and much more.
l he Kiwanis Club of Bay town is selling apple* in the
parking lot of ( onn's. 5010 (iarth Road. Apples can be
purchased Sunday through Friday from 12:30 p.m. to
5:30 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on SMurdays.
You can also order them from any Kiwanis member.
lhe Kiwanis apples are available for S60 per case (88
apples), $30 per half case (44 apples), and $20 per quarter
case 12 ? apples).
Many Baytonians eagerly await the apple sale, be it to
support the Kiwanis ( lub and its goal of having a posi-
tive impact in the life of a young person or because their
palettes are waiting tor one of the many recipes that can
be made with apples. In any case, give in to temptation.
Our community will be better tor it David Hloom
