The new year always calls for a bit of reflection. We are thankful for our loyal readers and for all of you who have so graciously shared timely information and photos to help us all stay involved and keep connected.

This month's edition of the Gazette covers the waterfront. We have articles from individuals, organizations, businesses, schools, and churches. We won't take up too much of your time with a vast list of the current articles, but we do encourage you to read the interesting story of Fairfield's six stylists that are now operating out of the Blue Lion Salon Studios and how after working together for years at a former location they found themselves reunited. As Yogi Berra once said, "It's deja vu all over again.� Also, please read the continuing story of Andrew Nichols and the progress he is making coordinating his bid to win the Leukemia and Lymphoma Student of the Year Campaign.

As we move into 2019, please continue to send me information on the wonderful things that are happening in the community. Our children, families, churches, organizations, and businesses set our community apart. I can be reached at jackiedevine@peelinc.com or 832.316.6006.

Fairfield’s Best Kept Secret:

BLUE LION SALON STUDIOS

by Jackie Devine

Fairfield has five brand new salon suites and six amazing stylists that are not only eager to meet and greet you but also to treat you to their fabulous services.

All six of the stylists, ranging from a newlywed, a soon to be a mommy, an entrepreneur, an empty nester, and a cancer survivor worked together in another Cypress salon. Ready to spread their wings and fly they simultaneously, although secretly, were considering making a move to become independently employed.

Ironically, none of them shared their thoughts even though all of them were privately investigating the Blue Lion Salon, located at the corner of Mason Road and Cypresswood, behind the former Cypress Medical Center. Excited about what they found, each began making plans to become self-employed and open their own salon. One of the stylists made a move in September. Within a short time, the other five leaped. Unbeknownst to one another, within a matter of a few weeks, each had signed a lease.

"What a surprise," explained Gretchen, owner/operator of Naomie Lee Hair Salon, "it's like we had a family going on there at our previous location. Then, it dissolved. However, within a few weeks, we were all reunited."

It is easy to see these energetic solo entrepreneurs consider themselves part of a team. "The beauty of our little family," says Elena Brewer, owner of Kaveyo Salon “although we operate independently, we truly are a family sharing a common bond equipped with different talents. Our unique collaboration benefits our customers because we are willing to share skills, information, and techniques that offer our clients the highest and best results."

Indeed, you do feel a kindred spirit walking in the door. You know immediately, these ladies are here on purpose. Moreover, their goal is to build lasting relationships that grow stronger over time.

8 Fairfield Community Gazette - January 2019

Already, the word is out. Men and women alike are seeking this exceptional team of experts because they've heard the Blue Lion is a place to relax, feel valued, enjoy a little pampering and walk out looking like you just left one of the finest salons in Beverly Hills.

Yes, they are that good! No, they don't charge those prices! They offer quality service at a fair price. "We recognize we are operating in a competitive field," adds Lenlee Sackett, owner/operator of Hair by Lenlee. "so we've carved out a piece of the market that targets people with high expectations—ones that are expecting creative stylists who continually upgrade their education, keep tabs on industry trends, and offer outstanding results."

“You no longer need to seek professional hairstyling advice and service outside the Fairfield Community,” adds LBL Salon's Jessica Lopez, “come in for a consultation and leave with a transformational “New You!” Jennifer Parker, the owner/operator of JNP Salon, emphasized, "With our shared experience and willingness to serve, you can't bring us a problem we can't handle!

“She is right,” remarked Rebecca Kirk, Styles by Grace, “there isn’t a cosmetology team in all of Cypress that can match our skill and expertise. We do more than give you the hairstyle you desire; we make your experience positive and rewarding.”

Summing up Fairfield's six master stylists, I’m compelled to say, Fairfield’s newest are “engineers of hair construction” who possess the wisdom, guts and burning desire to pursue the American Dream. I suggest that you stop in and meet your new neighbors!

CyFair Student Says No To Cancer

by Jackie Devine

Believe it or not, cancer across the Houston region is becoming a household word. Maybe it’s because for more than 75 years the Texas Medical Center has been a global leader in the fight to end cancer.

Just this year, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was ranked No. 1 in cancer care by U.S. News & World Report’s annual “Best Hospitals” survey, the 14th time in 17 years.

Many in our community, or one of our family members, have been diagnosed with cancer. Frankly, that's reason enough to support Andrew Nichols—N.W. Houston's Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s 2019 Student of The Year Candidate—in raising funds to find a cure for blood cancers. LLS focuses on improving the quality of life of patients and their families through research, access to drugs, and advocacy.

Although cancer awareness is increasing, it is likely many of us rarely give pause to the kids affected by the cancer experience. The fact that flies under the radar is that 24% of adults with cancer are parenting children younger than 18 years of age and about one-third of women with breast cancer have children living at home.

Statistics offer us critical hard data, but after interviewing Andrew, it became apparent that our community could benefit from learning about the young man behind the campaign and his passion for helping, close connection to the disease, and the coping mechanisms that have helped him survive.

Andrew explained, “Cancer is a family disease; not only the patient but the entire family is affected, especially young children and adolescents. That’s why it is important to address the needs of children also living with the consequences of their parent’s cancer and its treatment.”

Supporting Andrew’s comments, his mother Susan continued. "On August 20, 2014, when I was diagnosed with leukemia, I had only three days to live. It was very quick, sudden, and life-threatening.

Fortunately, immediate care and current cutting-edge drug therapies Copyright © 2019 Peel, Inc.

put me in remission quickly. However, follow-up chemotherapy was required."

The road to recovery lasted two and a half years. For literally hundreds of days, she was graced with rotations and ‘round the clock supervision by friends, colleagues, or family members who kept vigil over her.

Unlike many, an incredible community of caregivers embraced the Nichols family. Susan's husband, Rob, significantly reduced his work load to care for her around the clock and her dad relocated to Texas. Her brother sold his business in Arizona and relocated his family to the Lone Star State. Susan's sister moved from Copperfield to Fairfield. Her adopted son, Josh, took up residence in Fairfield as well. It was all-hands-on-deck to care for Susan and help raise their kids, Andrew and Amanda.

The Nichols siblings were more fortunate than most. Buoyed by a loving support network, they had people they could lean on for reassurance and who also encouraged them to seek outside interests.

Over time they developed thriving businesses upon which to focus.

Andrew baked, decorated, and sold cakes through his business Andrew's Artisan Cakes. Then, he moved into woodturning creating and selling handcrafted pens through Andrew’s Artisan Pens. Amanda established herself as a seamstress. She markets her products through Amanda Faith Designs. Unfortunately, as most children dealing with parents challenged with life-threatening diseases, at times, they still (Continued on Page 10) Fairfield Community Gazette - January 2019

9

Around Fairfield (Continued from Page 9) wrestled with increased levels of distress and anxiety.

Andrew acknowledges, “It’s not uncommon for children in those circumstances to take a "back seat" to the issues of cancer. With this campaign that is also something that can be addressed."

Continuing, he added, "My mom’s battle with Leukemia deeply affected our family and every aspect of our lives. The only reason my mother is alive and in remission is due to medical research breakthroughs and her clinical trial drug Ponatinib that she will take every day for the rest of her life. This breakthrough drug has been possible due to the help of LLS funding research."

LLS helped fund 15 out of the 18 drugs the FDA approved for blood cancers in 2017. The LLS campaign that Andrew is heading up this year will help raise funds to pursue more research and develop more ways to save lives like his mom.

Andrew’s campaign efforts kick off January 11th and will continue through March 1st. You can make a tax-deductible donation by going online to his fundraising page using the link that follows: https:// events.lls.org/txg/HoustonSOY19/anichols and click on the “Donate Today” link.

Aside from financial donations, you can donate goods or services for auction items, sponsorships, donation matching opportunities, or tickets/tables to the Grand Finale on Friday, March 1st at the Junior League in Houston.

Pink Warrior Calendar Girls Make Debut

by Anna Ullman-Lewis

The Pink Warrior Calendar Girls Calendar is making its official debut January 1, 2019, and we plan sales of a 2020 calendar throughout 2019.

P i n k Wa r r i o r C a l e n d a r Girls website, as well as other social media, will host our professionally produced video.

It will feature an explanation of this project and include personal interview snippets. It will also feature interviews from some of the women who were involved in our initial shoot.

It is my vision that those diagnosed in the future will feel hope seeing this wide range of survivorship and that they will be inspired not to allow cancer to define them. I dream that they will be encouraged to allow cancer to renew their outlook on life, and how much they can impact those around them, despite what they face.

Almost 100% of the money involved in carrying out this project has been funded by me as the founder. However, I am moving forward to establishing an LLC. That said, I am hoping this business will operate very much like a charity; wherein the cost of getting it started is reimbursed, and adequate funds are available for the next year's calendar. I am planning on 70% of the profit going to charities related to breast cancer.

I'm also establishing contacts with Houston-area reconstructive surgeons who specialize in radical and skin-sparing mastectomy reconstructions hoping to obtain sponsorship from them. In turn, they'll receive a given number of calendars to provide their patients, advertising space on our website and social media outlets, and receive a number of tickets for a formal event. These packages are still being developed.

I am also working toward establishing consignment relationships with local boutiques and salons.

To keep this viable for years to come, we expect a signed photo release from all models who are in our current and future calendars. This releases photos and videos to be used in promotion of calendars, and use of photos within any calendars. Models are compensated through the experience of a glamour shoot, with a printed picture of their photo that was used in the calendar, and a copy of the calendar.

As always, calendars can be directly purchased on our website: http://www.pinkwarriorcalendargirls.com.

VFW Honors President George Bush

by Jackie Devine

Saluting our Kids - Each year, nearly 40,000 high school students from across the country enter to win a share of the $2.2 million in educational scholarships and incentives awarded through the VFW’s Voice of Democracy audio-essay competition.

And annually, more than 125,000 students in grades 6-8 enter the VFW’s Patriot’s Pen youth essay contest.

The first-place winner from each state competes for national awards totaling $50,000, with each firstplace state winner receiving a minimum of $500 at the national level.

On January 9th, VFW Post 8905 will host a dinner to honor Cypress area winners.

Additional Events: Steak Night on January 4th

Donna Morse, VFW Auxiliary President representing Cypress VFW Post 8905, along with Honor guards from VFW Post 8790 were among the flag waving-crowd that lined the tracks of Spring, TX as the special funeral train pulled by locomotive 4141 carried George H. W. Bush to his final resting place on the grounds of his presidential library.

VFW members and other patriotic Americans dedicate millions of hours each year working to spread patriotism and honor our nation's heroes.

From volunteering at VA hospitals and visiting classrooms to youth scholarships and recognizing teachers and scouts, the VFW is in the community.

Flag Retirement in Fairfield The Boy Scouts of America, according to Scoutingwire.org, is one of the very few organizations that have an official code for flag retirement. Respect for our nation’s symbols is an integral part of being a reverent, responsible Scout. They have specific rules for the appropriate retirement of the United States flag. In fact, conducting a flag retirement ceremony is a significant opportunity for Scouts and Scouters to reflect on the meaning of the flag as a great symbol of freedom.

The BSA Handbook states: “A national flag that is worn beyond repair may be burned in a fire. The ceremony should be conducted with dignity and respect, and the flag burned completely to ashes.”

On the Monday after Veterans Day, November 12, Boy Scout Pack 1533 @ Ault and joined with other local Cub Scout packs & Boy Scout troops to retire worn and tattered flags donated by the community. Local citizens, veterans and Boy Scouts attended.

Pack 533 (Keith), has a box at HEB by customer service for collection. That is the easiest way to donate. However, others have been known to drop off flags for retirement at our local schools.

Always there for you!

January Yard of the Month Sponsored by the Fairfield Women’s Club Submitted by Deborah Worley, Yard of the Month Chairperson Winter is here and although we aren’t seeing the flowers in abundance we are seeing many yards well groomed.

This month we visited the second part of the Lakeside Trails Village. The areas included: The Trails, Cottage Glen, and The Oaks.

For the month of January we are featuring the home of Ronald and Timica Dupree located at 20123 Chad Arbor Trail in “The Oaks”. As we drove down Chad Arbor Trail, their home immediately caught our eye with their well planned and professionally designed planter at the front of their property.

The Dupree’s home is in an established and mature neighborhood.

All of the trees, shrubs and plants are full grown and majestic in nature. They have several stately Oak trees which have been well pruned and shaped. Their front yard architectural feature is an enormous planter surrounded by large flat rocks like all their planting areas. It has a very proud and healthy Sago Palm right in its center, surrounded by various shrubs and grasses giving various shades of greens, different heights and textures. Many of the grasses and shrubs will give them color in the spring with flowers. The entire yard is well maintained.

My biggest delight was their huge Nellie Stevens Holly tree on the opposite side of their driveway. This tree is approximately 20-25 feet tall and full of dazzling red berries that stand out against its deep green foliage. A little side note: graceful wildlife also emerges since those berries attract an array of birds. This tree is the perfect option for a stylish ornamental during the winter.

Congratulations Ronald and Timica Dupree on our January 2019 Yard of the Month honoree. It was a pleasure meeting you both. Your property is showing beautifully.

Field of Dreams a Huge Success

by Janet Guthrie

The First Annual FSA Fairfield of Dreams Tournament was held, on December 1, 2018 at the Fairfield Athletic Association’s fields.

According to Michael McDaniel, “It will be an annual event now that it is established. We had 10 teams, five recreational and five competitive. The difference is recreational has buddies on the field with them and competitive does not have a buddy. We had teams from all over Houston area. From Conroe all the way to Lake Houston area up to Cypress. For team names we basically used local high school mascots.”

One hundred-and-seven special needs players participated, and 162 local Fairfield volunteers unselfishly gave up time to assure the event was a success.

The event was organized by Chad McDaniel, Laura Edgorf, and Becky Portzline.

Special thanks to Texas Roofworks LLC for being the lead sponsor of the event. Additional sponsors include: Children’s Lighthouse, Bahama Bucks, Webb Automotive, Texas Children, Urgent Care, JNL Plumbing, Buzz Tees, Athletic Threads, CFI Mechanical, More Than Signs, Crazy Apes Tees, YMCA, and Miracle League.

Salyards Band in Full Swing

By Joseph Glass

This year has started off on a good note for the Salyards Middle School Band Program! With the school year half over, here is a look at what’s going on in the band world at Salyards.

On November 9 and 10, members of our Symphonic Winds and Symphonic Band auditioned for the Region Band. After competing against hundreds of other students from CFISD, Brenham ISD, and Waller ISD, Salyards Middle School had 34 students make the Region Band. These students participated in a two-day Region clinic where they worked under highly distinguished band directors. These students performed a wonderful concert, and we are very proud of them!

It’s the Christmas season, which means it is Winter Concert time!

On December 11, our performing groups performed in our Salyards Winter Band Concert. We played familiar songs like “The Alvin and the Chipmunks” and “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas,” as well as some exciting takes on original Christmas songs like “Deck the Halls with Chips and Salsa” and “Santa at the Symphony.” All three groups worked very hard in their rehearsals in preparation for their concert, and it was a great evening of music!

Our beginner band students have been working hard since the beginning of the school year. The beginners have learned how to count

rhythms, how to make quality sounds on their instrument, and most importantly, have learned how to play songs out of their book. I am sure many of you have been hearing a lot of these tunes being practiced at home! On December 18th our beginners performed in their first Winter Concert. They have been preparing their pieces in their classes and performed all together as a full band for the concert.

They performed popular Christmas songs like “Jingle Bells” and “Good King Wenceslas,” then closed with a beautiful arrangement of “Beethoven’s Ninth.” It was a wonderful concert, and we are so proud of our beginning band students.

With Region Band season over, it is now time for another individual competition season to begin. The Solo and Ensemble competition is coming up, and the students are already preparing!

Students in 7th and 8th grade will be working on an individual and small group repertoire. In February, these students will perform with a piano accompaniment for a judge, and they will be rated on a scale of 1-5. Students who receive a first division rating on their solo or ensemble will receive a medal for their accomplishment. This is a great way for students to build their individual and ensemble playing skills. The Salyards Band always has a great turn out! We look forward to celebrating our student’s accomplishments, and we wish them the best of luck!

We appreciate everyone’s support for this program, and we are having a great start to the school year! Go Bengal Band!

Classic Adults Luncheon Monday, January 7, 2019 11:45Am@ 20155 Cypresswood Dr. Silver Sleuths The Houston Better Business Bureau and their Educational Foundation believe that consumer education is the best protection against deceptive business practices. Additionally, statistics indicate that senior citizens are often special targets for fraud because they are more trusting and less suspecting of the presence of fraud. For this reason, the BBB and the Educational Foundation have implemented an innovative program called the "Silver Sleuths" that helps older adults identify and avoid fraudulent business practices. Make plans now to join Classic Adults for our January 7th luncheon. You will hear from Candy Twyman, Executive Director of The Better Business Bureau Education Foundation, on ways to protect yourself from deceptive sales practices. Resolve to make 2019 the year that you become smarter and wiser regarding “fake business”!

Jo i n u s a s w o m e n a c ro s s g e n e r a t i o n s , denominations, and cultures come together for an encounter with God that will compel us to link arms with Him in the highest calling on earth—to make disciples.

All women in our community are invited to participate in this unique conference that will be held Friday, February 8th, 6-9 pm.

Boxed dinners will be available on Friday night. On Saturday, February 9, 9-5 pm a light breakfast provided. Cost for the conference is $20. Childcare is available.

Registration is now open now for this special IF Conference sponsored by The Women’s Ministry at Good Shepherd United Methodist Church and will close February 1, 2019. Register at goodsheperdumc.iflocal.com. For general information about the conference go to ifgathering.com.

Most of us make New Year's resolutions. Most of us make them. Most of us start them. But, very few of us actually keep them. This year, we want to invite all of you to consider making a resolution to focus more on the teachings of Jesus Christ in your homes.

This coming year, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is beginning a brand new program of home centered gospel learning called Come Follow Me--For Individuals and Families. The material this year will focus on the New Testament.

We know that lasting change comes through following Jesus Christ as families.

The introduction to the Come Follow Me booklet says, "The aim of all gospel learning and teaching is to deepen our conversion and help us become more like Jesus Christ. For this reason, when we study the gospel, we’re not just looking for new information; we want to become a 'new creature'(see 2 Corinthians 5:17). This means relying on Christ to change our hearts, our views, our actions, and our very natures."-Come Follow Me--For Individuals and Families--New Testament 2019 Let's all become "new creatures" this year as we study the teachings of Jesus Christ.

We would love to help you obtain and navigate the material and make a plan for yourself and for your family. Everything is absolutely free.

Second Baptist Church 52 Weeks: Know the Bible

submitted by Jonathan Spencer, Adult Ministries Pastor Every new year brings the opportunity for new beginnings! As we consider our new goals for 2019, Second Baptist Church would like to invite you to set one goal in particular with them. This year, Second Baptist is challenging their entire church family to “know the Bible.” For many of us, the Bible can seem like a confusing puzzle. We may pick up a few pieces over the years through personal devotions or church attendance, but unfortunately, we often struggle to see how all of those pieces truly fit together.

However, when the Bible is properly understood, we can see those pieces come together to communicate a beautiful picture of God and His love for mankind.

This year, the Second family invites you to learn how to put those pieces together with them. The church is selling 1 year chronological Bibles and challenging their congregation to diligently commit to the daily reading plan. Every Sunday, Second’s 14 Adult Bible Study classes will teach Bible lessons that help connect the dots to the previous week’s readings.

Additionally, Second’s preaching Pastors will deliver sermons

• Interior & Exterior Painting • HardiPlank Replacement • Sheetrock Repair • Cabinet Painting • Pressure Washing • Fence Replacement • Custom Staining

every weekend that tie together the big ideas from those daily reading assignments.

Whether you are a seasoned Bible reader, or if you’ve never picked up the book, 2019 is the perfect opportunity for you to establish a new beginning in God’s Word. Take the challenge, and join Second Baptist every weekend for 9:30AM Bible Study and 11AM Worship. If you do, we’re confident that these 52 weeks will be a life-changing experience for you! For more information, you can visit the Second’s website at www.second.org/cypress.
