what was the already crowded space of cannabis vaping products the recreational space in Massachusetts was largely dominated by pre-existing medical marijuana companies who were given a head start in licensing from the state multi-state cannabis corporations who were seeking to launch cannabis vape brands that could become household names across the country.  Fernway has quickly become one of the most successful cannabis vape companies in the state and was even named one of the top five cannabis brands in the nation to watch in 2022 by BDSA Its co-founder and CMO Liam O’Brien attributes the company’s success to its culture. While O’Brien did not have any cannabis business experience before co-founding Fernway he and the other original members of the company had plenty of experience as recreational cannabis consumers Their focus on designing an experience for recreational cannabis users has helped them stand out among their competitors and even get shelf space in stores owned by companies with their own line of vapes “The recreational focus of the company was something that was new to the space and I think even a lot of the medical operators appreciated that,”  he said “The fact that the company’s founders are consumers themselves plays a big role in shaping the culture.”  Now that Fernway has captured a significant chunk of the market they’re ready to tackle their next big project: Launching their own cannabis oil vaping device The Traveler is available in both .3- and .7-gram sizes and is designed to be a sleek and discrete device that fits easily in a purse or pocket including mango — which is a brand new flavor for Fernway that is exclusive to the new device.  Fernway had been exclusively producing vape cartridges that are commonly known as 510 carts Named for the size of the threading on the cartridges and the batteries that are made for them (10 threads at 0.5 mm per thread) this type of vape oil cart and battery combination is the most common currently in the cannabis space.  There’s some obvious benefits to 510 carts They can handle everything from pure cannabis distillate to thicker products like live resin The batteries themselves can also vary from small discrete devices to larger devices that offer a longer battery life and more customization options the universality and interchangeability of 510 batteries and cartridges also contributes to their drawbacks The power of 510 threaded batteries are not always optimized for the cartridge and the quality of the cartridges can also differ widely with cheaper technology often being more likely to malfunction.  While many licensed operators such as Fernway use the best available cartridge technology and only produce additive-free formulas the negative experiences and bad press caused by illicit market vapes (and poorly produced legal ones) can hurt the image of all 510 devices in the minds of consumers.  510 carts are unlikely to disappear from the marketplace any time soon but a number of operators in the cannabis vape space have begun to attempt to introduce their own proprietary devices to offer consumers an improved experience.  But as Liam began to describe their new Traveler device but I started to realize what he was describing as an “all-in-one” vape sounded awfully like a disposable vape Disposable vapes are a product where the vape battery and the cartridge holding the cannabis oil are a single as these devices — lithium ion battery and all — are designed to be thrown in the trash after all the oil is used up an electric razor that had to be thrown away and replaced every time the blade went dull or the battery died there was a very specific reason that he was describing the Traveler as an all-in-one vape rather than a disposable: Fernway has partnered with GAIACA — one of the country’s first cannabis-specific waste management companies — to create a disposal program for their devices This program received final approval from the Cannabis Control Commission just last week and is the first such program in Massachusetts.  Customers will be able to return their Traveler device (or any other Fernway-branded vape hardware that may be no longer working or needed) to the retailer they purchased it at where it will be deposited into a specially marked container The devices will then be disposed of by GAIACA in a process that minimizes environmental impact and allows for metals in the device to be reclaimed.  Hopefully this initiative can put pressure on other cannabis companies to implement similar programs themselves and encourage the industry to find new pathways to more sustainable operations.  the Traveler also helps reduce waste in another way: It includes a recharging port helping ensure that no oil goes to waste if the battery happens to run out while there’s still some oil in the tank.  “It’s one of the more frustrating experiences to have when you’re using an all-in-one vape and the battery dies while there’s still oil left in the device,” said O’Brien noting that the ability to recharge the battery would offer consumers more peace of mind.  O’Brien didn’t get into specifics but didn’t rule out expansion into other markets either maintaining the company’s current business attitude is key.  “I think whatever states we end up operating in we would bring the same sort of culture.” University of

in three different school buildings parents and alumni have rallied to show school pride and to demonstrate why Fernway is so important not only to the neighborhood Fast forward nine months and the building, going through major renovations is set to re-open for the 2020-2021 school year "Fernway 2.0” will have major upgrades but it won't have everything some may have wanted Reconstruction will cost an estimated $17.5 million, with $14.5 million provided by insurance The Shaker Schools Board of Education approved the additional $3 million Fernway principal Chris Hayward says the plan calls for 15 classrooms with a new layout to accommodate services like speech and occupational therapy An elevator will help make the building handicap accessible and the classrooms with updated technology “It is still very small facility,” said Hayward “I mean the reality is we're a landlocked facility and there weren't a lot of options in terms of growing the size of the school we're going up vertically up on that second floor And so we're actually utilizing a space that was a former portion of the flat roof and that that's allowing us to open up a lower area which is our old auditorium space and kind of reconfigure that.” Also, there will now be a cafetorium where students will eat lunch and be a place for large gatherings But the building will still lack air conditioning if we had to donor that stepped up overnight and wanted to present the amount of money that we would need to move in that direction that would be something that we would look into,” said Hayward.  “The building is being plumbed and being readied for a potential air conditioning system some at some point in the future A second phase of the project calls for upgrading and moving the playground to the south end of the property the Shaker Schools Foundation has raised $225,000 for that project Massachusetts vape brand unveils first-of-its-kind recycling program to accompany its new product A top vaporizer

ones The Fernway Recycling Program will be the first-of-its-kind ever offered in Massachusetts and the company feels that it will be an efficient means for vape users to minimize waste and care for the environment on a small scale “We always put the customer first when we develop new products so we’re thrilled to make it easy for our customers to easily recycle their Travelers and join the conversation around sustainability in the cannabis industry,” said Fernway CEO and Co-Founder Consumers purchasing a Fernway Traveller at designated retailers will be able to bring their finished cartridges back to the dispensary and place them in a secure dropbox Fernway will then organize the pick up and recycling of previously enjoyed units via its renowned cannabis waste solutions partner — GAIACA “When vapes are marketed as ‘disposables’ It encourages people to throw them in the trash The vast majority of our customers say that wastefulness is the single biggest hesitation they have about vaping The customer no longer has to choose between having a great cannabis experience and being environmentally conscious So as part of our launch of the Fernway Traveler and that’s why we say that Traveler is not a ‘disposable’ – it’s a ‘recyclable’,” added Gallant Gallant also claims that the new Fernway vape is an undeniably superior product with several distinctive features including a meticulously crafted tank that maximizes efficiency and a smart power gauge The Fernway Traveller and its accompanying recycling program will be making its way to dispensaries across Massachusetts

approximately 300 students and staff housed in the almost century-old building As insurance claims are settled and after the Shaker Board of Education voted to earmark funds for renovations, the Shaker Schools Foundation is leading its own charge in the community to raise an additional $500,000 toward updates that will make Fernway one of the most contemporary and cutting-edge elementary schools in the district The Foundation launched its Fernway Forward fundraising campaign on Monday December 10—exactly five months to the day after the fire a way for the community to help rebuild the late 1920s school executive director of the Shaker Schools Foundation but the community wanted to help,” says Coughlin of the neighborhood concern “They were begging to help.” She reports that many area residents watched the school burn and Fernway alumni—many of whom still live in the neighborhood—have come forward with stories and memories for their days at Fernway Fernway students and teachers were relocated to classrooms in three other Shaker schools knew they had to rebuild the landmark school the smallest of the five Shaker elementary schools and an icon in the neighborhood which was ruled accidental during roof repairs Shaker School District’s executive director of communications and public relations Once you get over the shock of this happening you start to think about the possibilities.” An insurance settlement will pay $14.5 million to rebuild the 29,925 -square-foot school and the Shaker Board of Education voted in November to commit $3 million to the renovations The total of $17.5 million will cover repairs to the damaged building' build an elevator (which didn’t exist previously); and add bathrooms in the kindergarten classrooms as well as a security door system on the front entrance the main entrance was in the rear of the school and officials could only monitor visitors through monitors.) Other measures will also be incorporated to bring the building up to current building code standards The Fernway Forward campaign will supplement those efforts to bring added amenities to the building—including a cafeteria Coughlin says the planned design lab will introduce dedicated areas for STEM and STEAM education and an overall more collaborative design will be incorporated into the classrooms [collaborative and STEM learning] are a given,” Coughlin says Fernway will be the first elementary school [in Shaker] to have a design lab.” Coughlin says the classrooms designed 100 years ago didn’t account for collaboration and teamwork where kids and teachers may group together “The goal is to create a more collaborative space,” Coughlin explains “It used to be that students would sit at their desks and look forward Now it’s a more collaborative environment where kids are moving desks into groups It’s just a different education mindset today than it was when that school was built.” Coughlin calls the improvements that will be made through Fernway Forward as “icing on the cake,” and the community members who have wanted raise money for the renovations “everyday heroes.” While the Fernway Forward goal is $500,000 Coughlin says most of that will be secured through the Alumni Foundation’s applications for grants and donations from foundations She says the goal is to raise $100,000 from the community. The peer-to-peer effort has already raised more than $9,000 through 84 donations since the campaign launch While gifts of $1,000 or more can be spread out over three years Coughlin stresses that any donation amount is welcome The top individual donations have given more than $3,000 to the campaign while the Fernway Staff Team has given $3,485 toward their $5,000 team goal and the Shaker Schools Foundation Team has raised $502 toward their $600 goal In the meantime, Gilbane Building Company and Van Auken Akins Architects have already been working on the plans for the new school “They are running the show in terms of rebuilding,” says Stephens “[Gilbane and Van Auken Akins] are meeting on a weekly basis with the committee and administrators to work out a plan of what $17.5 million will get us We’re essentially going to get a brand-new school.” Stephens says Gilbane is estimating the entire project will take 18 months—four months of designing and 14 months of construction—with completion by spring 2020 While students and teachers will be displaced until the start of the 2020-21 school year Stephens says they are trying to keep an optimistic outlook “No one ever wants this to happen,” Stephens says “But we look at the bright side: It’s an opportunity to get a new school that we’re excited about.” Donations to the Fernway Forward campaign can be made here.

Calabrese didn't merely send out invitations to her luncheon; she made cold calls to those she didn't know and to friends who are in business and in a position to donate she received donations of all kinds from 69 area businesses in 14 cities "We couldn't have done this without (the donors)," she said is a Fernway graduate; Bar Louie; children's author Sandra Philipson "Wings"; Dewey's Pizza and Pizzazz; florists Plantscaping and Blooms; Tommy's Restaurant and Ben & Jerry's of Fairmount both of whom delivered food; Richards Frankel Dentistry; and PawsCLE "Everyone has been so generous and supportive," said Calabrese news spread quickly about the fire shortly after it started on the 90-year-old building's roof "We were in my mother's driveway," Calabrese recalled of that morning "when my mother said she smelled something burning received a text message from a fellow Fernway employee telling her about the fire Hassell and Calabrese immediately went to the school as did others associated with the building "I got a text from one of our teachers (Jean Reinhold) Please pray for our little school,'" remembered third-grade teacher Megan Konopinski It felt like my own house was on fire." said the 315 students who attended the school and staff are like family so it was natural that so many flocked to the building when they learned of the fire a 47-year Shaker resident and mother of two who was schooled within the district also received a text from Reinhold with the bad news "I got in my car and immediately went there and it was already heavily involved in fire," Rider said Everyone was crying and thought (the building) was going to come down "The Shaker Fire Department did a wonderful job They poured 300,000 gallons of water on the building We stood there for hours and hours," she said The story was similar for just about everyone Fourth-grade teacher Amy Hannah said she had just arrived at the Cleveland Museum of Art when she received a text about the fire "I didn't know what I should do," she recalled "I just got there (at the museum)."

But she called as soon as her mom texted her that her grade school was burning The distinctive cupola atop the school was gone Neighbors stood staring and reminiscing yesterday in yards surrounding Fernway as fire crews worked to make sure the fire that started Tuesday morning wasn't still smoldering kids who walked to school in packs and swarmed the playground when the weather was nice "I was gardening one day and some teacher told her kids she is gardening and we're learning about flowers!' And I said I need a shower,'" joked Amber Dimoff who stood in her neighbor Chris Wozniak's yard as the fire department set up a command center in front of them There were plenty of laughs and a few tears as the hoses were wrapped and the Fernway stopped smoldering but kept dripping That's how it is all around Shaker -- schools and neighborhoods woven together but he married a Fernway girl and bought a Fernway house "The number of lives that building has touched," he said My mother-in-law is in tears right now." Wozniak was preparing to pick up his 7-year-old and wasn't relishing the conversation they'd be forced to have "He had the same first grade teacher my wife had when he explains that it's lucky school was not in session to overcome the obvious: His son won't be in the same building for school come fall Neighbors worried about the extent of damage about where the neighborhood kids would go to school next year School officials say they're still assessing damage and considering options and they've promised to involve the community in any decision making You can count on it being packed with passionate neighbors watch as crews make sure nothing inside Fernway Elementary School is still smoldering I'm still in touch with my Fernway friends She remembers four-square and tetherball on the blacktop out back She was there when news came that President Kennedy had been shot and there for a kindergarten research project (she's an adjunct professor at Case Western Reserve University) on 9/11 Mothers and daughters gathered with dogs on leashes but they still just had to stand together and watch How long it will take to repair is still in question but there was unanimity in their hope for Fernway to return to its stately glory as quickly as possible Said neighbor Kendra Wood: "It's special." \n m_gallery = \"fire-at-shaker-heights-fernway\";\n m_gallery_id = \"4a153a83fc8870\";\n m_gallery_title = \"Fire at Shaker Heights Fernway Elementary School\";\n m_gallery_blog_id = \"\";\n m_gallery_creation_date = \"Tuesday 3:17 PM\";\n m_gallery_permalink = \"https://www.cleveland.com/expo/news/erry-2018/07/4a153a83fc8870/index.html\";\n m_gallery_json = \"https://expo.advance.net/static/4a153a83fc8870/data.json\";\n m_gallery_pagetype = \"embed\";\n m_gallery_type = \"photo\";\n<\/script>\n Gallery: Fire at Shaker Heights Fernway Elementary School Fernway Elementary School students have fun trying out the playground during an orientation and ice cream social Monday at Woodbury Upper Elementary School in Shaker Heights their temporary home for the coming school year Fernway was badly damaged in a July 10 fire Ohio -- With a temporary roof set for installation on Fernway Elementary School by month's end the Shaker Heights Board of Education heard proposals Aug 16 from architects about the prospect of rebuilding the fire-damaged school the school district administration continued to work out the logistics of moving more than 300 students into three other buildings as classes were set to resume Wednesday (Aug "The board invited the bids to help us assess whether Fernway can be rebuilt," district spokesman Scott Stephens said Monday "This was basically a commitment to rebuild based on structural feasibility and cost." The community is still recovering from the July 10 fire that started on the roof although it took about 300,000 gallons of water to do so we will have a temporary roof on by the end of the month or so," Stephens said And that roof is designed so that a permanent one can be placed on top of it saving additional time and expense," Stephens added It remains likely that the displaced Fernway students will be spared any further moves from their temporary classrooms during this school year "We believe this shared-space plan is for the duration of the year," Interim Superintendent Stephen Wilkins said earlier "It's best to keep it settled so kids don't have to make another transition." Under that plan Fernway kindergartners will attend Onaway Elementary with first-graders going to Boulevard and grades 2-4 and special education students having their classes at Woodbury Fernway Principal Chris Hayward will also be assigned to Woodbury although he will be keeping regular tabs on the other buildings In addition to gaining city approval for the temporary roof and ordering the materials custodial crews began delivering furniture to the temporary Fernway classrooms at Boulevard Hayward said that transportation will be provided to all Fernway students to prevent them from having to cross any busy streets District employees will be on each school bus to assist students who haven't ridden them before On the request for proposals from architects Stephens said Monday that the district should be selecting one soon "We are hopeful this architectural and engineering help will allow us all to gain a better understanding of the scope of the project and the time and cost involved in rebuilding the school," an Aug That press release also noted that the district had already hired a public adjuster and insurance counsel "to help us successfully sort through the complex insurance settlement process." Attorney Bob Rutter explained to the board late last month that the district's $11 million-plus policy looks "perfectly adequate." The package includes $9 million for building damage as well as limited additional coverage for debris removal and $1 million for "extra" expenses There is also additional building and computer coverage Shaker School Treasurer Bryan Christman said last month that the insurance company had already given the district a $975,000 advance Shaker Heights Fire Chief Patrick Sweeney said Tuesday that the investigation is wrapping up and that further information on cause and origin could be released soon The issue of damage totals -- structure and contents -- have already been taken over by the district's insurance carrier The school board also publicly thanked its disaster recovery team for responding with tireless efforts to clean up and stabilize the building."Finally, our heartfelt thanks go out to the district admin team, the mayor, other city officials, neighboring school districts, alumni and friends," the press release added. "And a special thanks to Principal Hayward, teachers and staff who have been so resilient during difficult circumstances we thank the entire Shaker Heights community for its incredible support For the opening day of school Wednesday (Aug Fernway students were going to be officially welcomed with a flag-raising ceremony on the front lawn of Woodbury at 2:15 p.m Heartfelt feelings are written in chalk on the sidewalks of Fernway Elementary School throwing the upcoming school year into question Ohio -- In the aftermath of the July 10 fire that destroyed the roof at Fernway Elementary School the Shaker Heights Board of Education will hold a community meeting at 6 p.m Thursday (July 19) in the Lomond School gym "I'm not sure if we can have a plan in place by then but we will discuss options," schools spokesman Scott Stephens said "We are still waiting  for fire and insurance investigators before we can make a logical decision on the building." In an update given at Tuesday's (July 17) regular school board meeting district officials said they hoped to make a decision on a temporary location by Aug "Once the building is reasonably cleaned and aired out they will put on a temporary roof to protect the inside," Stephens said we need a plan for students for the opening of school Aug Interim Superintendent Stephen Wilkins said the district is considering three categories regarding temporary space: -- Temporary assignments of classrooms to other buildings in Shaker Heavy equipment was being brought in Wednesday (July 18) to further survey the damage with slate shingles having to be moved from the attic after the roof collapsed This may help in locating the fire's origin "We're still working on a cause," city Fire Chief Patrick Sweeney said Monday (July 16) "And I have no idea on the loss -- insurance adjusters and structural engineers should be on the scene and we have to be real methodical and detailed in the process." The fire was believed to have started in the third-story attic and was not considered to be suspicious in nature "We can't guess at next steps yet in terms of the building itself," Wilkins said Tuesday "We must follow a process of review and due diligence." "before we can make plans to restore the building -- and this will take time" -- Focusing on getting Fernway back "up and running and getting the staff back to teaching and focusing on student learning," Wilkins added Workers were performing maintenance on the roof at the time of the fire, which was reported shortly after 11 a.m. July 10 with several employees inside the building also being evacuated safely but the bones of this building are extremely sound," Sweeney said of the school that dates back to the late 1920s The school district has had a disaster recovery crew on site around the clock They were working into Tuesday to dry out whatever additional water had fallen in during the previous night's rains.Damage from Monday night's rains did not appear to be significant with some buckets needing to be placed in stairwells and classrooms Tuesday's school district update noted that insurance and roofing-vendor investigators "closes with agreement the roof should be released to the district for repair and a temporary roof installation." In addition to the school board thanking the firefighters disaster recovery contractor Bill Mangelluzzi said his team has been getting out "as much salvageable furniture as possible "The gym and library held up really well because they are under a different roof system," Mangelluzzi told the school board "A lot of the books in there are salvageable." Staging areas have also been set up in the parking lots where a large red container holds 600 student chairs "A green container is halfway full of student desks," Mangelluzzi added "There was a lot of furniture in the hallways and the majority of those items were salvageable." There is also a trailer designated for "total loss" items which the district can't dispose of until they are catalogued and assigned a value More than 300 children are enrolled at Fernway many of them walking to school from the surrounding neighborhood Mayor David Weiss also attended Tuesday's board meeting and said that it was heartwarming to watch the entire community come together to support Fernway The City Building Inspection Department referred all questions about Fernway's structural integrity and soundness to Law Director William Ondrey Gruber who said that the city is being "inundated" with questions from the community but that everything is still under evaluation "We want to do everything we can to keep Fernway whole," Wilkins added We're working 24/7 to ensure we're ready and prepared for all of our schools to open successfully." .st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By Evan MacDonald, cleveland.comSHAKER HEIGHTS Ohio -- No one was hurt when a fire broke out Tuesday morning at Fernway Elementary School in Shaker Heights Employees evacuated the building when the fire broke out on the roof Shaker Heights City Schools spokesman Scott Stephens said Shaker Heights firefighters remained at the scene about 11:45 a.m The Shaker Heights Fire Department did not immediately respond to a request for more information Neither Stephens nor a Shaker Heights fire dispatcher could say when the fire started There were no students in the building when the fire broke out The school will remain closed until further notice, the school district said in a statement This story will be updated when more information is available To comment on this story, visit Tuesday's crime and courts comments page The roof of a Shaker Heights elementary school collapsed hours after a fire broke out at the school Tuesday Shaker Heights police and the Shaker Heights Fire Department responded to Fernway Elementary Firefighters still putting out hotspots and a lot of smoke is still emanating from the roof.

The building will be closed until further notice As for what will happen to the more than 300 students that attend school at Fernway district officials said they are still trying to determine what accommodations will have to be made for the upcoming school year The interim superintendent of Shaker Heights City School District released a statement following the fire: 2022 at 6:14 pm CT.css-79elbk{position:relative;}The district plans to build a new school immediately next to the existing Fernway Park school at 16600 88th Avenue in Orland Hills IL — School officials are asking voters within Kirby Elementary District No 140 to vote to free up cash reserves to fund the construction of a new school The district plans to build a new school that will almost double Fernway Park's existing space at 16600 88th Avenue in Orland Hills the almost 60-year-old building is one of the oldest in the district and is in desperate need of more space for pre-school through fifth grade In order to access the money from the district's cash reserves residents will need to approve a referendum on the upcoming primary ballot The cash reserves are already available and will not affect voter's property taxes there are just over one year's worth of reserve funds the school has accumulated After the project takes an estimated $34 million the school will still have six months worth of "rainy day funds." According to a May meeting held with parents of the district the new school will be about 83,000 square feet With new apartment buildings being built along nearby 94th Avenue district Superintendent Michael Byrne said officials need to prepare for an influx of students "We want to make sure we spend our reserve funds time to time because it's prudent and fiscally responsible for the taxpayers," Byrne said when all the schools in the district are equivalent." Other plans considered by the district included adding onto the existing building and remodeling the building to expand class space Both options would disrupt classes and extracurriculars the district would begin construction in 2023 and have the new school ready for the following school year The building will stay in operation during construction and later be knocked down to make way for a parking lot or playground for the new Fernway Read more about the project here (Courtesy Fernway)Since Massachusetts legalized cannabis for recreational use in 2016 Gone are the days of sneakily coordinating a pick-up via text with your weed guy; walk a few blocks in a good amount of MA municipalities and you’re sure to stumble across a pot shop or two the question of what to buy can be daunting Here’s a roundup of the best cannabis products available across Massachusetts compiled by Leafly expertise and market research Homegrown (diesel and pine) flavored vape cartridge from Fernway (Courtesy Fernway)If you enjoy cannabis vapes you haven’t lived until you’ve hit a Fernway cartridge old friends who decided to combine their unique skills and shared passions for cannabis spent most of 2020 preparing for their official launch on April 20 There’s still more to come—Fernway is now rolling out a few of the original, botanically flavored strains in one-gram cartridges.
