“1 gained a new appreciation of
what elementary teachers deal with
every day, much different than the
1970s, when I began teaching.”
Frank Hutchins retired in 2004.
Since the Hutchins family had a sec-
ond home in Mississippi, he contin-
ued to do consulting and substitute
administrative work both in Mis-
sissippi and lexas. New Braunfels
beckoned them since his daughters
were there.
I he Hutchins now live on four
acres on Canyon Lake in the
hill country 30 miles from New
Braunfels. Hiking care of four acres
keeps him active in addition to serv-
ing on the mowing crew for their
church. I hey spend time traveling
and keeping up their homeplace
in Mississippi. Grandchildren also
keep them busy and happy.

I believe that Charles Johnson will make an excellent
Councilman for District 3.
1 can attest that he has good work ethics and gives 100
percent to any job or project that he is involved in. I know
Mr. Johnson on a personal as well as a professional level.
I was actually his supervisor at one time and can assure
that he goes well beyond job expectations to ensure the
job is done correctly.
()n a personal level, he is an amazing lather to his chil-
dren and a devoted husband. He genuinely cares about,
not only his own family but his community as well. 1
know that he wants a safe and productive environment
and community for his children, as well as other families.
I believe he will work hard to makes changes that will
positively impact and build Baytown. I have no doubt
these qualities will enable him to be an advocate and the
leader that District 3 needs and in turn make Baytown a
better place to live.

A new' Fox News national poll
suggests Donald I rump suffered
real damage in his first debate with
Hillary Clinton not just losing the
debate, but sliding in some key mea-
sures of voter confidence in his abili-
ty to serve as president,
( ompared to the same poll’s results
before the debate, Clinton's stand-
ing improved relative to I rump’s in
three important areas: which candi-
date would best handle the economy,
which candidate has the tempera-
ment to serve as president and which
candidate is honest and trustworthy.
In the poll, 58 percent of likely vot-
ers said Clinton won the debate, ver-
sus just 19 percent who said Frump
won, 11 percent who said it was a tie,
and 12 percent who said they didn’t
know. Ihat’s three times as many
voters who thought Clinton won as
thought I rump won.
Democrats, by a 91 percent to 4
percent margin, thought Clinton was
the victor. Republicans, by a 35 per-
cent to 26 percent margin, thought
I rump won.
So voters think Clinton won, which
is the same result as other polls in re-
cent days. But the larger question is
Radio station
drops game after
anthem protest
(AP) A North Caro-
lina radio station is drop-
ping the broadcast of Fast
Carolina’s upcoming
football game in reaction
to last weekend’s protest
staged by members of the
school’s marching band.
WFAY-AM in Fayette-
ville announced Iiiesday
that it would not carry
the Pirates’ game at South
Florida scheduled for Sat-
urday. I he move comes
after the school said 19
band members kneeled
during the anthem before
the game against Central
Florida to protest racial
injustice and police bru- !
tality. Band officials is-
sued an apology Monday.
Colonial Radio Group
President and CEO Jeff
Andrulonis said sponsors
agree with the decision,
but he'll lose advertising
revenue.
The band members
were following the lead of
several NFL players who
have kneeled at games,
beginning with San Fran-
cisco 49ers quarterback
Colin Kaepernick, who
refused to stand for the
anthem before preseason
games.
Light al the (‘nd
of waste pits tunnel
Full remediation, out and gone to a more secure site
is the only solution to a five-decade problem that makes
sense scientifically and morally. Politically and economi-
cally just adding to and strengthening the cap might carry
the day if the pit top were 20-feet plus in elevation. It is
not. Now that I .PA has moved off of their blessed as-
surance there is light at the end of the tunnel lor the San
Jacinto River Waste Pits. I he “Companies” mouthpiece
organization is saving what they have been saying ever
since the waste pits have been identified as a superfund
waste site. I he latest in I hursday's Sun painted a pic-
ture of huge drag lines and dredging equipment stripping
oft all the rock protection and the plastic membrane and
slinging toxic mud all over creation. The best remedi-
ation practices involve vacuum trucks and barges with
only carefully controlled access and exposure to the toxic
material. Anyone who enlists dragline companies and/or
dredging operators has his head in a 19th century bucket.
I should not have to point out that the pits are a mud-
dy hole in the ground. They have no liner, no concrete
bottom to stop downward leaching into the riverbed, un-
derground strata, and aquifers. I he opponents to full re-
mediation want us to see putting a mixture into an open
bowl of batter and watching it fly all over our kitchens.
But remediation does not have to proceed that way. I have
seen vacuum trucks suck up hard-packed oil-soaked sand
and soil. I he longer we wait the more widespread the
contamination leeches and the more expensive it gets to
remediate. I he right thing to do is full remediation and do
it now. Strike while the iron is hot. Do not let things coo!
dow n under the constant barrage of scare tactics, sweep-
ing under the rug proposals, and reducing the cost on the
companies that caused the pollutions in the first place.

P.S. When will G( CIS!) and Lee College find other
ways of moving ahead without increasing salaries at the
top and cutting hours for the lowest paid workers? Such
philosophical reasoning and business methodology is a
blight on America’s economy for far too long. It has to
stop somewhere!

the debate had on
the overall course
of the race.
In the horse race,
Fox found Clin-
ton leading I rump
among likely vot-
ers 43 percent to 40

way contest, with
Gary Johnson at X percent and Jill

I he Fox pollsters found more

among likely voters, with Clinton
now leading I rump 49 percent to 44
percent. In the pre-debate lox poll.
I rump led Clinton 46 percent to 45
percent so that's a six-point net
change before and after the debate.
But other numbers are clearly om-
inous for I rump. Before the debate,
I rump had a 51 percent to 44 percent
lead when lox asked likely voters
who would best handle the economy.
After the debate, I rump’s lead was

I rank Hutchins was bom in
Starkville. Mississippi, in 1947. He
remembers being a “pain" at school
and church. He preferred his dad's
punishment to his mother's.
He declares he never got a spank-
ing that he didn't deserve.
He was only 14 when he lost his
dad, but remembers sharing sports
activities and going squirrel and
dove hunting with him. He honored
him by following in his footsteps
into education. He met Barbara his
sophomore year in high school but
they didn’t marry until they both
graduated from Mississippi Stale.
Uncle Sam's graduation pres-
ent to Frank was to be drafted into
the army. Good luck was with him
as the Vietnam War was winding
down. After graduation from Offi-
cers Candidate School, I rank went
into military intelligence but was
discharged in 1972.
He chose to teach in Baytown
since he had relatives heie and knew
about the schools. I le taught science
and math classes and coached in
elementary and junior high before
going back to school for an admin-
istrative certificate. He remembers
two great principals: Leon Legler
and I C. Woods.
Barbara taught vocational busi-
ness classes until she decided to
be a “stay-at-home” mom with her
daughters. After the children were
in school, she became a teacher for
homebound students.
Many teachers can identify with
Mr. Hutchins and discipline inci-
dents. He sent a problem student
Baylor Title IX

WACO (AP) I he
I itle IX coordinator at
Baylor University has
resigned over a disagree-
ment in her role to over-
see changes at the school
following claims it mis-
handled sexual assault
cases for several years.
The university said in
a statement late Monday
that Patty Crawford was
“disappointed” in her role
implementing recommen-
dations by the law firm
Pepper Hamilton, which
determined earlier this
year that the school mis-
handled rape allegations
for years and the football
program operated as it if
was above the rules. Two
former football players
were convicted of rape,
a third ex-player was in-
dicted in July and other
past players have faced
accusations.

Ominous signs for Trump in new poll
ton had the temperament to serve as
president; after the debate, the num-
ber went to 67 percent. Trump’s tem-
perament number stayed nearly the
same, 38 percent before the debate to
37 percent after. Clinton’s 21-point
pre-debate lead on the question be-
came a 30-point post-debate lead.
Before the debate, 39 percent of
Fox respondents said I rump is hon-
est and trustworthy. After the debate,
that number fell to 31 percent. Clin-
ton's honest and trustworthy rating
remained virtually the same: 34 per-
cent before the debate versus 35 per-
cent after the debate. I hat’s a nine-
point net change. Before the debate,
more likely voters saw frump as hon-
est and trustworthy than saw Clinton
as honest and trustworthy. Post-de-
bate, it’s the other way around.
I he debate didn’t change like-
ly voters’ views on Clinton’s email
problem or I rump's tax returns.
Now the first real effects of the de-
bate are becoming clear. And they are
not good news for Donald I rump.

He arranged a lunch

time that student caused trouble.
I d Wachtel knew a good assis-
tant principal when he saw one and
tapped Frank to work with him at
Sterling High School. His only ex-
perience with high school kids was
teaching driver’s ed. I le appreciated
Jackie Crawford “teaching him the
ropes.” After Ed retired, first Jim-
my Creel, then Frank Hutchins took
over at Sterling and he served for
nine years as principal.
I he 1979 graduates and Frank
especially remember the “flood" on
graduation night. I he services had
to be moved from Stallworth stadi-
um to the Sterling campus and were
not completed until almost mid-
night. Some families had to spend
the night at the school. I he water
was so high, they could not get out

In his leadership position he

ory is the tragic deaths of five stu-
dents in the 1979-80 school year. He
