OUR HISTORY: Over these past ten plus years we've taken over a hundred trips. The Fairfield Gazette's web-site has back issues available from September, 2004. In order to go back to our beginning, we must thank Kelly Peel of Peel Inc. for locating all our articles from their archives and sending them to us. We now have every article submitted, which enabled us to put together Our History, and a complete listing of all our trips. Just go to Our History in our weekly email to read about our beginning and all the trips we’ve taken.

OUR JANUARY BUS TRIP PLANS ARE FOR: Wednesday, January 18, to go to Shiner, Texas. This month our trip will take us to the Shiner, Texas its 125 miles west of Cypress.

The town grew as trade center for Czech and German farmers. We will first tour the Wolters Museum, which is housed in the Wolters home, built in 1915. We will also get to tour

the landscaped grounds, which include the Farm Implement Shed, the 1870's Herder House, the Old General Store and the Shiner Jail. Then we will have a buffet lunch at the Werners Restaurant, which is included in the cost of the trip, which includes the buffet, tea and tip. After lunch we will be able to tour the historic gothic Saints Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church, placed on the National Registry of Historical places in 1983. It is known as one of the most eye-catching landmarks in South Central Texas. We will also tour the Spoetzl Brewery, the oldest independent brewery in Texas, and maker of the famous Shiner Beer.

It is also at the Lakeside Trails Club House. However, plan on being there early. Doors open around 6:00 p.m. for socializing and fellowship. .

MENTOR ONE CHILDChange Two Lives

CROSSROADS: Community Partnership for Youth Inc. (CROSSROADS), a United Way agency, provides mentoring for youth involved with the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department. These youth are in need of caring adults who can serve as mentors to provide encouragement and guidance. With thousands in the juvenile justice system, the need for mentors is growing.

Mentors must be at least 21 years of age, commit to 1 hour each week and attend a training and orientation session. There are many sites, areas (Katy, Clear Lake, Chimney Rock/Bellaire, and Downtown) and available times of the week for mentors to meet with their assigned child. Volunteers mentor boys and girls that are placed in facilities by the juvenile probation department and who are in desperate need of a positive role model.

The program is very simple, flexible and especially beneficially to both the youth and the mentor. Please consider devoting just one hour a week to the future of a needy and hurting child (10 -17 yrs. old). Many times you may be the only positive role model in their lives! The mission of CROSSROADS is to prevent or reduce youth involvement with the juvenile justice system by fostering positive relationships between youth and volunteers. CROSSROADS is symbolic of where the youth we serve are standing - at a critical point in time in their lives.

For more information you may contact us at 713-295-2779or visit our website at www.crossroads-volunteers.org.

ON-LINE REGISTRATION The quickest and easiest way to register you player is through our on-line registration system. Please go to www.fairfield-sports.com and follow the menu.

IN-PERSON REGISTRATION We will hold a 1 DAY IN-PERSON Registration Saturday January 14th at the Lakeside Trails Clubhouse from 9am to 3pm. Payment will be required at the time of registration. SORRY NO LATE REGISTRATION There will be NO LATE REGISTRATION as we are providing 8 weeks to sign up. Unfortunately our size has dictated a more strict approach to this in order to handle all of the administrative duties and preparation necessary to start the season.



GETTING INVOLVED Lastly I would like to remind everyone to find a way to take part in your sports association. FSA is a volunteer organization and could use your help to provide the best facilities around. There are jobs ranging from helping with try-outs, opening day help, field maintenance, and concessions duty. We urge you to familiarize yourself with the Baseball and Softball Committee via our website and reach out to committee members to see how you can help. Two areas needing the most help with are nightly field maintenance and concessions. These are opportunities to not only get involved and meet great people, but most of all contribute to making Fairfield one of the best places around for our kids to play sports.On behalf of the Fairfield Sports Association and the Baseball/Softball committee members, I would like to thank you for all your support.Mark WalstonBaseball Commissioner

Sports SectionRosehill Christian School Boys Basketball Team Wins

Conroe Covenant Tournament

With the sting of losing in the finals of the Irving Cistercian Tournament still fresh on their minds, the RCS Boys came out strong and defeated #3 ranked Austin Waldorf 47-37 in the title game of the Conroe Covenant tournament. Keith Self tied for a team high 13 points with John Ogle, going a perfect 5 for 5 from the field including 3 for 3 from three point range. To get to the finals, Ogle led the team in scoring with 25 points in the semi-final match against host Conroe Covenant. It was RCS’s first win against the school in three years. With a record of 10 wins, 2 losses, #2 ranked RCS is off to their best start in four years after being just one basket away from a TAPPS 3A final four appearance last season. “It is important to these guys,” RCS coach Ed Lamar said. “Hopefully they will look back and say they were part of a special team.” Lamar added, “Í was very proud of how they took the loss two weeks ago in the finals of the Cistercian tournament by two points, and they took that adversity and used it as fuel to prevail this week.” In a smothering display of defense, the RCS Eagles held Waldorf

to just l0 points in the first half, leading 24-10 at the break. Jimmy Courtright led the team with 7 rebounds. ln addition to Courtright and Ogle, guard Wayne McCullough was also named to the all tournament team. RCS was the only school with three players selected to the squad. At the Cistercian tournament, Ogle and McCullough were also named to the team after leading the team to the title game. To get to the finals of the Covenant tournament, RCS defeated Woodlands Prep Academy 63-48 in the first round, and were led the way by Ogle and Courtright contributing 20 points each, ln the second round, they routed Calvary Baptist 81-24, after leading 52-14 at the half. RCS was led in rebounding by Jeremy Michel, Ogle and McCullough all chipping in with 8 rebounds. Currently ranked #2 in the State for TAPPS 3A Schools, prior to defeating the 3rd ranked Austin Waldorf, Rosehill Christian has also defeated #5 ranked Dallas Shelton, followed by a win against SPC division Trinity Valley. Earlier in the season, RCS defeated #4 ranked Northeast Christian. Irving Cistercian is ranked #21 in the large private school category.

REWARDYou may not be aware that there has been a great deal of

vandalism within Fairfield Village, all repaired at a cost to you, the homeowner. As the vandalism continues, and as the cost to make the necessary repairs and replacement increases, it also becomes necessary to increase your assessment.

Your Association is offering a reward of $2,000.00 for information resulting in the arrest and FELONY conviction of the person(s) who vandalizes or steals Association property. Vandalism includes the damage to or destruction of Association property by the improper operation of an ATV, or dirt bike on common areas or greenbelts. Should the person(s) be under age, the Association will legally pursue the legal guardian for all damages incurred.

Your Association has spent thousands of dollars, your dollars, repairing irrigation, gazebos, entry markers, ruts, etc., and it’s time to make these vandals stop.

If you see anyone suspicious, by all means contact the Sheriff on the non-emergency number (713-221-6000) and report the incident.

Thank you

BB GUNS SHOOTING AT THE DUCKS

Dear Residents, Concerns have been received regarding teenage boys seen shooting BB guns at the ducks in Lake 9 in the Lake Point area. This is inhumane treatment of your wildlife and if you see anyone deliberately harming any animal please notify the Sheriff immediately at 713-221-6000. This is no doubt very disturbing to everyone, especially the residents living around the lake who have witnessed this cruel behavior. Thankfully no homeowners, children or passersby have been harmed.Thank you.

From AMIWhat Can You DoAbout Soliciting

In The Neighborhood? Many communities are ripe targets for solicitors – for a variety of reasons. While the Association has no real control over soliciting activities, we have tried to discourage solicitors from marketing in our community by placing “no soliciting” signs in common areas. The reason that we cannot prevent soliciting is that the streets and roadways within the community are public access ways owned and maintained by the county. This means that no person or persons may be prevented from entering the community. Of course, if an individual or individuals are in the process of breaking the law, the Sheriff or other law enforcement officer can take immediate action. Your Association recommends the following actions that every owner can take to discourage unwelcome soliciting in the community:• Report all suspicious persons to the Sheriff’s Department and

request the deputies on duty be made aware of your concerns.• Promptly remove all flyers left on your front or garage door.• Promptly report to the Post Office all flyers left on the mailboxes.• Refuse to make use of solicitors’ offers and refuse to patronize

any company being marketed in this manner.• Notify the managing agent of any companies presently soliciting

so that letters can be sent advising them of this policy of not permitting door to door soliciting (they will be reminded of the community newsletter and/or the Green Sheet as marketing options).

• Individual homeowners have the ability to place a small “No Trespassing/No Soliciting” sign at the entry to their homes. Should a solicitor continue to leave flyers, the homeowner then has the authority to file charges against the Solicitor/Company for trespassing on private property.

CURBSIDE TREES The appearance of your trees at the sidewalk at your home is vital to the overall appearance of your community. The trees are part of the overall plan of development and it is each homeowner’s responsibility to ensure the trees are trimmed on a regular basis. Many trees have branches hanging over the street, brushing the tops of vehicles and some are even blocking stop signs. For the benefit of all the Fairfield residents, and the overall appearance of your neighborhood, please check your trees and if necessary, raise the canopy (should be 12-14 ft. from the street), remove dead branches, and shape the tree. Regrettably, should you chose not to do this, the County has the authority to trim them back and will not take the time to groom them properly. Thank you for your understanding.

Cy Falls High SchoolWELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR 2012!

We had a wonderful closing of our 2011 year. December was a flurry of activity. The Holiday Concert was beautifully arranged with traditional carols and an eclectic mix of international seasonal songs with accompaniment. Labay men’s choir shared their vocal talent to the festivities. It was a feast for the eyes, ears and soul. A perfect blending for a perfect start to the holidays. The students threw a joyous party with admission being non perishable food items to help out our neighbors in need. Amongst the fun was dancing, singing, the museum game and hilarity of the white elephant gift exchange. Don’t forget the mountains of cakes, cookies, flan, and more cookies!!! Auditions for the Area choir will take place January 7th in San Antonio. We wish all our participating members courage as they meet this challenge head on.

Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) performance for the men’s choir will be this year. It is quite an honor to be chosen to participate and our men have been working diligently on their vocals. This will be in San Antonio and no doubt surrounded with fun as memories are made. UIL Solo and Ensemble Contest takes place on the 27th. Sing steady Eagles! A sweepstakes will be the hopeful theme of the day! Pizzazz is the annual variety show held in the auditorium of the high school. It is always well done, complete with choreography, costumes and set design. This family event will be on February 24th and 25th. Mark your calendars now as this is one show you do not want to miss! This is always a highlight to our school year. As always, we want to thank Mrs. Douglas, Ms. Loftin and our family of volunteers for whom we could not function. GO EAGLES CHOIR!

3rd Annual Swenke Winter

Wonderland! Join us Saturday, February 4 from 11am-2pm at Swenke Elementary school. Bring the family and enjoy food, fun and games and SNOW! There will also be a Silent Auction with fabulous items all benefiting the Swenke PTO! For more information, go to swenkepto.org.

Unlock your talents and volunteer your time in our school district. The Cy-Fair VIPS team roster needs you and is never too full! VIPS (Volunteers in Public Schools) in Cy-Fair ISD center the attention of their service on supporting students and staff and making a significant contribution to the education of children. These dedicated individuals, who give freely of their time and resources, impact the academic and personal development of Cy-Fair ISD students. Cypress-Fairbanks ISD is fortunate to be able to draw from a diversity of skills and knowledge in its community. The district VIPS Executive Board spearheads the business of the VIPS. This board is comprised of volunteers elected to take on specific responsibilities offering support, guidance, and training to all volunteers in the district. The VIPS Executive Board meets monthly to evaluate and address the needs of the district and distribute information relating to volunteer and community activities and strengthen parental involvement in education.

School News

More than 800 people, many decked in fun holiday outfits, participated in the First Annual Candy Cane Fun Run & Walk for Education on Saturday, December 10th in Fairfield. Hosted by the combined forces of Ault, Keith, and Swenke Elementary PTOs, the Fun Run benefits students of CFISD. CFISD Superintendent Dr. Mark Henry was the honorary starting judge. Salyards Middle School Principal Jill Smith, CFISD Board Trustee Christine Hartley, and Dr. Henry also judged a costume contest prior to the race.

“We wanted to have an event that brought our community together and benefited CFISD students,” said Swenke PTO President Stacie Keneker. “Our elementary school families eventually come together at Salyards Middle School, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to get a head start.” Keneker brought the idea to fellow PTO presidents Gini Howell of Ault and Kelley Fisher of Keith, and both PTOs embraced the plan.

Cheered along the way by Fairfield residents, participants ran, walked, and rode in strollers on the three-mile course winding through the neighborhood. Volunteers served as traffic monitors, passed out water, signed in registrants, and passed out hundreds of goody bags and t-shirts. CFVFD was on hand with a vehicle for kids to explore, local Key Club volunteers provided face painting, and a bake sale sold delicious goodies and hot cocoa while raising funds for all three schools’ 5th Grade Parties. Local vendors provided a Christmas shopping opportunity at the Candy Cane Market.

Sponsors for the Candy Cane Fun Run & Walk supported the event and provided prizes for the age category winners and costume contest winners. Sponsors included Gringo's, Qdoba Mexican Grill (Spring Cypress), Jitterbug Café, Dave's Hoagie House, Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, Candelari's Pizzeria, The Golf Center in Fairfield, Cache Chic Custom Jewelry with Tricia Legg, Smashburger, Keeton Custom Pools & Patios, KCS Construction Services, Cricket, Melanie Martinsen Remax, Clint and Amy Nabors of the Ellis-Nabors Team of Heritage Texas Properties, Tru Tri Sports, Optimal Wireless, and Mustang Development.
