Make slider show posts from specific categories

Hi There,

I hope someone can help me with this as everything I’ve tried does not seem to work.

I am using the Magazino theme, though this is not specific to the theme. The theme contains a slider based on modernizr.js and jQuery.cycle2.js .

I have a category with ID=30. I am trying to make it so that the slider only shows posts belonging to that category. I added the following line:
'cat_ID' => 30
to :

$args = array(
                    'posts_per_page' => 7,
					          'post_status' => 'publish',
                    'post__in' => get_option("sticky_posts"),
                    'cat_ID' => 30
               );
                $fPosts = new WP_Query( $args);

But when I refresh the WordPress site I see it includes a post not belonging to that category. Can someone please give me a hint as to what I am doing wrong? Just in case you need the full index.php page I am including it below:

<?php get_header(); ?>

    <div id="content" class="clearfix">

        <div id="main" class="clearfix" role="main">

            <div id="slide-wrap">

                    'post__in' => get_option("sticky_posts"),
                    'cat_ID' => 30
               );
                $fPosts = new WP_Query( $args);

				$countPosts = $fPosts->found_posts;
              ?>

                <?php if ( $fPosts->have_posts() ) : ?>
