After being together for a good number of years, my husband and I still don’t really know how to travel together. Each time we attempt to vacation, it quickly becomes obvious that we are on completely different pages.

I am not the type of woman who subscribes to gender stereotypes. I am both soft and feminine, and tough and masculine. My husband refers to me as a pitbull when I am upset about something.

With “March Madness” set to take over television screens for the next two weeks, I am left wondering why American college sports are more popular than their Canadian counterparts.

It has been only two months since I began covering sports in Airdrie, but it didn’t take me nearly that long to realize how fortunate this city is when it comes to the incredible coaching its athletes receive.

Music has always been a huge part of my life. My mom’s record collection is… expansive. That’s the only word for it. Not only is it incredibly large and diverse, but my mom knows every single album she has – and can tell you what’s on the cover.

My husband and I live in a lovely townhouse with our seven-year-old dog, Ramsey. It’s the first house we’ve owned and we love our home. It is spacious for just the three of us, at about 1,270 square feet and a large unfinished basement.

I profess to being a fan of the Vinyl Café podcast and its host, Stuart McLean. I listen to it each week as I’m driving into Calgary for rehearsal on Tuesday nights. It amuses me and I often find myself laughing out loud.

I’m back! Three years after finishing my initial stint with Rocky View Publishing, I’m back for round two. Three years is a long time, so it’s okay if you don’t remember me. I understand. Let me give you a quick run-down of the need-to-knows.

Oh how I wish I owned a DeLorean. I would make like Marty McFly and put the pedal to the metal, reaching 88 miles per hour until I ended up somewhere in the 1980s. Please allow me to explain.

Hi all, my name is Andrew Halipchuk and I am the new community and news reporter for Rocky View Publishing. I’m a transplanted Manitoban living in Calgary with my cousin and his dog (not a fan of her).
