Fairfield Harbour Neighborhood Watch includes you
By Howard Neviser, president
All Fairfield Harbour residents are members of Neighborhood Watch, whether you realize it or not. Everyone who lives and works here is a member. If you ever leave your home or look out your window, you are part of the “eyes and ears” of the Sheriff’s Department. Whatever happens here, either positive or negative, affects all of us. We, as a community, have an obligation to look out for each other.

During the food drive’s open hours, the trailer was repeatedly filled with toys and gifts and emptied by Rob and Chris Skrotsky into their garage at the

We spent November in the Abruzzo region of Italy enjoying a few medieval villages and the autumn hillsides busy with harvesting olives. After a simple Thanksgiving meal shared with our family via Zoom, we continued riding along the Adriatic Coast to the ancient port in Ancona where we boarded the overnight ferry to Split, Croatia. We are spending two weeks in the Kaštela area, among small fishing villages dating back to the 1400s. The stormy coast and churning waters make the days beautiful as winter’s winds are pushing in. Split and Trogir have layers of Roman, Ottoman, and Venetian fortifications, palaces, and cathedrals knit together by ancient
