Special Rodeo needs help
rounding up volunteers
Baytown Special Rodeo is sending out
an SOS for volunteers for this annual
western day for special needs youngsters
being held on Saturday, Sept. 14, from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Baytown Youth
Fair Arena, 7900 N. Main, in Baytown
According to Duane Dillon, co-chair
of volunteers, more than 150 young-
sters. plus their parents and their siblings
have already registered for the event and
Dillon believes the need for additional
rodeo buddy volunteers is expanding.
“We have about 250 good folks who
have already signed up to make sure
these kids get to enjoy all the activ-
ities, from riding a real horse and vis-
iting all of the game booths to singing
and dancing at karaoke time to petting
real farm animals or getting acquainted
with critters right out of Galveston Bay,”
Dillon said. “To make this happen, we
need about 300-325 volunteers to lend
a hand.”
Registration is continuing online at
www.specialrodeo.com and children
may also register on event day.
Volunteers, who must be at least 15
years of age, also may register online
at Baytown Special Rodeo’s website,
www.specialrodeo.com.
“No special skills are involved to be
a volunteer except the desire to assist
these kids in having a great time,” Dil-
lon said. “We are asking our volunteers
to arrive at the BYF arena by 8:30 a.m.
so there is time for a quick briefing that
will give them a better idea of the ac-
tivities available and to share a map of
where each activity is located. All of our
volunteers are welcome to share chuck
wagon lunch provided -by the Goose
Creek Cookers.”

Effie L. Torres was

of Marlin, Texas, where
Effie grew up. Later she
became a resident of

is where she raised her six
children and met her soul

are the two she will be
remembered for. She has
always had a passion for
the Lord and sharing his
word. Her ability to strike
up a conversation with
anyone around was one of
her most memorable qual-
ities and she always had
a good story for anyone
willing to listen. She was
a loving and caring wife,
mother, grandmother,
great-grandmother and
friend. While her pass-
ing took her to the Gold-
en Streets of Heaven she
loved to speak of and
longed to walk on; she
is already significant-
ly missed and is greatly
loved.

Clara Blasdell
Hollis
Clara (“JVliMi”) Blas-
dell Hollis, 103, passed
away on Thursday,
September 5, 2013, in
Baytown. She was bom
on December 8, 1909, to
Jonathan Hiram and Mar-
tha Rose Capers Blasdell,
in San Antonio, Texas,
and was the fourth of
five children. The family
moved to East Houston
and the Heights. Clara’s
father worked as a carpen-
ter and builder. She was
twelve when her father
died from a fall from a
ladder, so, everyone had
to do their part to keep the
family together. Times
were rough, but happiness
and smiles were always
there.
Clara and her sister,
Allie Mae, who were
still students at the orig-
inal Sam Houston High
School, worked for the
phone company in down-
town Houston as tele-
phone Operators. Clara
was great with math and
was soon promoted to
“traffic” and long distance
billing and accounting.
Clara was to go to college
but her mother’s health
did not allow that to hap-
pen.
Clara met Joe Earl Hol-
lis of Grapeland while he
was working at Hughes
Tool Company and serv-
ing as a part-time deputy
sheriff for.C. V. “Buster”
Kern. On December 23,
1933, Clara and Earl were
married. The marriage
was performed by Clara’s
oldest brother’s father-in-
law.
Clara’s sister, Allie
Mae, made the front page
, of the Houston newspaper
as a single woman buying
a house for she and her
mother. At times, many
family members and oth-
ers lived at the 630 Omar
house. Clara and Earl
lived there for ten years
and their daughter, Den-
nis, was brought home
from the hospital. Near-
ly a year later, Earl, Clara
and Dennis moved to 928
Omar.
In 1972, Clara and Earl
retired to “The Ranch.”
Clara was in “7th Heav-
en” since there was lots of
land to keep mowed and
trimmed, many windows
to be cleaned, and many
other types of hard work.
Clara lost Earl on De-
cember 2, 1981, but con-
tinued to be hard working,
stubborn, and doing many
things she shouldn’t have
done.
Clara had a great life,
lots of history lived and
lots of wonderful sewing.
All of this was due to Dr.
Benjamin Portnoy, Dr.
Jonathan Lee, and the lov-
ing care givers of station
#3 at St. James House and
Faith Hospice.
Clara is survived by her
daughter,' Dennis Heyen
and husband, Richard;
grandchildren, Drew Hey-
en and wife, Amanda and
Daniel Heyen and wife,
Susan; special “Great
Grands,” Kegan, Karsyn
Kloe, Paul and Helen.
Clara, Mom, MiMi - en-
joy your return to your
family, friends and keep
a watch over all of us!

Back to Basics
Church of Christ
at Pruett & Lobit
; Baptism: Unfortunately, baptism is one of the most
i misunderstood and controversial subjects in the entire Bible.
1) The Bible teaches us that there is only
“one baptism" (Eph. 4:5). Evmgelist
2) The Bible teaches us that there is one authority,
Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:18-20).
1 ; 3) The Bible teaches us that there is one element used in baptism, water
' !(1 Peter3:20-21;Acts 10:47-48).
4) The Bible teaches us that there is one mode (or action)
uaerf in scriptural baptism, immersion
(Acts 8:35-38; Romms 8:3-4 Col. 2; 11 -12).
J) The Bible leaches us that the one purpose of baptism is “for the remission
of sins” (Acts 2:38; 22:16).
6) The Bible teaches us that there is one subject for baptism. A penitent
| believer who has: heard the gospel, Rom. 10:17; believed the gospel, Mark
j 16:16; repented of their sins, Acts 2:38; and confessed Jesus Christ,
i Rom. 10:9-10.
! Will you obey the “one baptism” of the New Testament, or reject it?_
