Although Tuesday was
the first day of school, last
Friday marked the end of
summer break for students
when BCA held its annu-
al Family Night at Pirates
Bay. The fun-filled night
not only marks the end of
summer but also allows
students and families to
reconnect with classmates
and meet new students in
a relaxed environment,

except they would have
about $25,000 in local ex-
emptions, with $135,000

the tax rate staying the
same at $0.436659, gen-
eral homesteaders would
pay $638.65 in taxes
while residents 65 and
older would pay $43.67.
Those with disability
would pay $589.49.
Wesson added $6 mil-
lion would be deposited
into the general fund and
$10.3 million will go into
the debt service fund to
make debt payments.

proposed tax rate exceeds

last year, Twardowski ex-

There was a large show-
ing of support for Baytown
Police Officer John Stew-
art Beasley and his fami-
ly Tuesday as the veteran
officer’s memorial service
was held at Second Baptist
Church.
Beasley died Aug. 7 of an
apparent suicide. He leaves
behind his wife Donna and
son Tyler.
Lt. Steve Dorris,
Baytown police spokes-
man, said both his fellow
officers and the community
he served for so long would
sorely miss the 23-year vet-
eran of the Baytown Police
Department.
"What I can say person-
ally about Officer John
Stewart Beasley, or ‘Stew’
as most of us knew him,
is he was a great cop and
an incredible ambassador
for our department,” Dor-
ris said. “Stew touched so
many lives in our commu-
nity with all of the commu-
nity outreach he did for our
organization, such as the
Citizens Police Academy,
National Night Out, Neigh-
borhood Watch Groups
and countless other speak-
ing engagements to local
groups as well as industry
groups where he would
speak on topics of safety
and crime prevention.”
“He was always a subject
matter expert on whatever
topic he was discussing, a
really smart guy,” he added.
While many Baytonians
will remember his efforts
within the community,
Dorris, who worked the
streets with Beasley early
on in their careers, recalls
the kind of friend he was.
“He was always a joy to
talk to with his positive at-
titude, sense of humor, wit
and the constant smile on
his face,” Dorris said. “I
will forever remember the
countless conversations we
had about everything from
fitness to felons; he always
had an educated opinion
about whatever the topic
was. There was not a person
in our organization that he
would not find a few min-
utes for, he had a tremen-
dous heart and a great deal
of compassion for his fellow
man.”
Dorris said he’s a better
man for knowing Beasley.
“He has touched and
impacted so many lives in
his 23 years here at the po-
lice department, including
mine, and for that, I will
forever be grateful,” Dorris
said.
