Club event.
Mann hopes the event will
bring in even more funds for
Alzheimer’s research this
year than it has in the past.
But this event isn’t the only
one Pilot Club members will
be working on in 2008-09.
There’s the February barbe-
cue fundraiser where money
is raised for all Pilot Club
events.
“That’s where we make the
money for all the funds we
give people,” Mann said.
Pilot Club members give to
the Christian Women’s Job
Corps of Baytown, the
Chinquapin School,
Americans with disabilities,
Habitat for Humanity, Relay
for Life, Bay Area Homeless
Services, New Horizon
Family Center and the Eddie
V Gray Wetlands Center.
Members also make trips to
Goose Creek kindergarten
classes for the Brain Minders
program where they use pup-
pets to teach kids the impor-
tance of protecting their brain
by wearing helmets and prac-
ticing car safety.
“It’s a really cute program
and the children always like
it,” Mann said.

Fatal accident
Two men died Sunday in a
two-car accident on Highway
99.
Joseph Alvarez, 27, and
Samuel Garcia, 49, were pro-
nounced dead at the scene of
the crash that happened
around 1:15 a.m. near
Baytown.
The men from San Benito,
TX were traveling westbound
on Highway 99 in a Chevy S-
10 truck when a Ford F-150
entered their lane, resulting in
a fatal collision.
Robert Stanford Reynolds,
40, of Baytown was traveling
eastbound when he entered
the wrong side of the roadway
for unknown reasons, said a
DPS spokesperson.
Reynolds was transported to
Memorial Hermann Hospital
where he was originally listed
in critical condition. Reynolds
was treaded for injuries to his
neck and chest and is in fair

After celebrating its long
and storied past, St. John’s
United Methodist Church is
looking to a future defined by
reaching out to the communi-
ty and, especially, to its own
backyard.
On June 28, the church will
host a “Neighborhood Safety
Day” for the Wynnewood
neighborhood, which borders
the church on Alexander
Drive. It will begin at 4 p.m.
and last until about 8 p.m. It
will include free hot dogs,
drinks and cookies.
The event will feature a pre-
sentation by the Baytown
Police Department about the
importance of neighborhood
watch programs. It will also
feature provide services, such
as the popular “Identi-Kid”
program and registration of
bicycles.
In addition, Bernard Olive,
Baytown’s fire marshal and
former head of emergency
management, will conduct a
seminar on hurricane pre-
paredness. Olive is one of
many folks who have spent
their whole lives as members
of St. Johns, and his grand-
daughter marks the fifth gen-
eration of members in his
family.
Robert Francis, a longtime
member himself and a former
Baytown Citizen of the Year
(along with is wife Carolyn),
said the church attempted to
start a Crime Watch program
in the neighborhood several
years ago. But the energy and
people were not quite there.
Now, he believes, that may be forms.,

emphasis on neighborhood

said. “This is just a chance for churches or not a church

said. “We have to have some

part of the neighborhood in
which it finds itself.”
Capt. David Alford, who
heads the BPD bureau of
community services, said
neighborhood watches are
“critical” to the mission of the
department. He said the more
folks are alert and organized,
the better.
“We can’t be everywhere at
once, and we need the public’s
help,” Alford said. “We’re not
asking for paranoia, just
awareness. If something does-
n’t look right, give us a call. I

better than a patrol officer,
and you know your neighbor-

“And man oh man, lock

program has been popular,
