Apple Airtags
Starting last year I started using Apple Airtags for travel. Airtags are small devices about the size of a chubby toonie. They do tracking and location finding. Attach an Airtag to your car keys and you’ll always be able to find them. In my case, I started putting them in my luggage when I’m travelling.

Wednesday Socials
The stoke is at an all-time high for live music in Fernie!
Megan Lohmann
Many in our community know of Megan Lohmann… the mom, the volunteer, the organizer, the Nordic ambassador, the environmentalist. But it is unlikely most know the depth of her passion and the impact she has had on our community and beyond through her dedication and hard work.
Liza Gareau Tosh
Where I come from is very important to me, as is where I am now. I tend to feel a constant sense of displacement and belonging at the same time. Perpetually trying to find the balance between the two is what I strive to express, especially in art. It’s a battle and I see this as a good thing.
June 2023 Astrology
June begins with tension as retrograde Pluto opposes Venus, giving an intensity to relations and passions. Saturn sextiles Mars, which can create a constriction to willpower. It’s time to review the past to prepare for a new phase in life.
Living
Death is a part of life. The longer we live, the more people around us will die; and it is important for us to accept this reality. However, regardless of how omnipresent death is in human existence, we don’t understand it very well, and philosophers and theologians have vigorous debates about human mortality and what it means to be a human being living and dying on this planet.
DNS Based Parental Controls
Recently a friend asked me about managing online access in a house with young children. The internet is an astonishing and amazing thing filled with wonders to fuel your children’s imagination, but also contains stuff that parents will want to manage their access to.
Fernie Community Choir
The choir came together when Anne Majic, a long-term Fernie resident who enjoys singing, approached David Pasivirta, a local music and band teacher, to see if he would be interested in leading a community choral group. Luckily for us, David was keen and the Fernie Community Choir was born.
Sunday In the Park with Sadie!
In a small town like Fernie, our dedicated community spaces are sacred places in nature where we all get to play. Often these spaces are maintained by the City and/or by the efforts of the many dedicated volunteers. One of my favourite places to hit is the Fernie Rail Yard Dog Park. Its gorgeous off leash areas and paved walking trails are stunning.
May 2023 Astrology
May is a pivotal month of the year, and possibly a pivotal month in a lifetime. This month is all about boundaries as Mercury, the planet that rules communication - including our own deeper communications with self- travels retrograde through Taurus until May 14 when it turns direct.
The Cleansing Mind
As an actor, a soliloquy is that inescapable moment you have playing a character where their true feelings are exposed. It’s a vulnerable opportunity to let the audience into the internal world you create within the drama of the play. This month, I thought I’d dive deep into the world of drama and present a soliloquy for Fernie.
