Is it possible to connect with loved ones
in the afterlife? Psychics say yes.
If you have ever experienced sounds connected to
loved ones, thoughts of loved ones being around
you, electrical phenomena like flashing globes, or
feel like someone is calling your name then you have
experienced psychic phenomena. Psychics can pick
up on all these sights, sounds, scents and memories
to do with loved ones and pass them on to the living.
At a recent Connections Fair, Mark had two questions
he desperately wanted answered from his father
that had passed… he came to the fair hoping that a
psychic might be able to answer these. As he sat in
the front row near the stage, Terri Fairbairn, Psychic
Medium came on stage, pointed at him, and said
“you, your father’s here and he wants to tell you 2
things”. Yes, you guessed it, the two things related to
the two questions Mark had.
Terri has been a regular at Connections Fairs, since
phoning Cheryl Cattarin, the Fairs organiser in 2015.
Whilst the fairs were full for psychics, Cheryl let her
in, when Terri relayed a story about Cheryl’s mum.
“I knew my mum must have wanted Terri to join our
fairs, as she was pushing through in the conversation
I had with Terri, and I have never regretted it. Terri is
a funny, heart-warming psychic medium who has
touched the lives of many of our visitors”.
But back to the question, can psychics really
communicate with those in the afterlife? It’s a question
that gets debated all the time but it’s only when you
hear a psychic say something that really resonates
with you, that you finally answer, yes, they can.
Terri Fairbairn will be on stage at Connections Fair, at
Club Marconi on Sunday 15th April at 11am.

APEX PARK UPGRADE

Liverpool Council will invest more
than $1.2 million in a major upgrade
of the one of the city’s most historic
parks.

Local residents have backed design concepts put
forward by Liverpool City Council during a recent
on-site community workshop to upgrade Apex Park.
The proposed $1.2 million redevelopment will see
the home of the city’s first cemetery become a multi-
use recreational space residents and visitors can
enjoy.
The community workshop was the first step in the
planning process and allowed Council to receive
feedback that will ensure the proposed design
meets both current and future needs. Feedback
will help to form the final masterplan and guide the
design of new facilities.
The proposed design aims to retain the current use
of the park as a place for rest and passive recreation,
while upgrading the existing playground with the
addition of a new memorial plaza and picnic area,
along with open lawn for multi-purpose use, together      Council with comments and feedback Liverpool
