WARM UP A DARK ROOM WITH A NEW COAT

L

ooking to stay busy during these long winter months?

Start checking off your new year’s resolutions with a home project! Winter is the perfect time to work on all those neglected interior tasks, and here are a few ideas to get your new year kicked off right.

2. When it comes to mouldings, the vast assortment of options available can be a bit overwhelming. Go the extra mile and turn your house into a home! Let us help you navigate between the different names and materials used for today’s mouldings, and soon you’ll see how a simple DIY project can transform the look and feel of your home. Implement a finished and refined look in your home today—find out how, now! Mouldings are meant to be seen. Paint them in contrasting colours in a pearl or semi-gloss finish. Use them to create depth and add style to your walls.

3. Choosing a paint colour can be a challenge, but let our knowledgeable and experienced paint staff help guide you through the wide array of colour choices.

With some creativity, skill and the right advice and tips from our expert staff, you'll be ready and well equipped to brighten up that dark room without spending a fortune!

1. Stay comfortably warm all season long. Our spacesaving, versatile heaters keep the heat in, and the cold out. Fan-forced heat and an adjustable airflow keep you comfortable in every situation. Come down and pick up a new heater, stay warm while you work!

Hours of operation: We’re open 7 days a week, and are open early and late on weekdays.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Happy New Year!

With the beginning of a new year, everyone decides it’s time to purge their old habits and start anew. We all feel the need to get rid of unwanted pounds, clothes or things we deem unnecessary in our lives. This January, as I look back on 2017, what came over me was not the desire to get rid of everything from last year or to forget any hardships encountered; but rather, the need to embrace all these experiences. For out of all these experiences, I am who I am today because of them.

As I step into the new year and into this new role as the Publisher at What’s On! Mission, I also want to embrace the old traditions, stories and people that have made Mission what it is. And at the same time, I’m looking forward to building on them and seeing the new and exciting things happening in our growing Mission.

R A E Y Y P P HA !

G O D E H T OF According to the Chinese Zodiac, February 18, marks the beginning of the Year of the Dog. If you were born in 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, your Chinese zodiac is the faithful dog.

Congratulations, g , Scruffy! y

Dogs are dubbed "man's best friend" for good reason. Ask any dog owner why they love their pooch and you will see their eyes light up as they talk about their dog's unwavering loyalty. Dogs please us, protect us and console us. There is nothing more wonderful than coming home to your dog.

Whether you've been gone for 15 minutes or a whole day, you are showered with a genuine excitement and endless kisses.

To celebrate your faithful companions, Mr. Pet’s is giving a $200 Gift Basket to a randomly chosen pooch. Because of the overwhelming response of beautiful dog photos, we will continue to share some of the entries throughout the year:

Several professionally trained singers are also new to FVS and “their voices are going to blow the audience away,� she said.

F

ebruary rolls around and everyone is scrambling to find the perfect gift to show their love. We all love to receive flowers or gifts, but remember that love comes in many different forms and gestures. I see it when a mother or father survives on a few hours of sleep, but still gets up at the crack of dawn to do something for their child. I see it when, even after 40 years of marriage, a couple still holds hands when they are walking down the street. I see it when someone will drive all night to show up to surprise their girlfriend or boyfriend, just because.

Winners of Our FunDate Contest to the Stage in Mission

This Valentine’s Day, yes, get the flowers and chocolates and gifts. But also, have fun and do something you love with the one you love. Here are some Fun Date Ideas: 1. Sky Dive Together 2. Indoor Picnic & Movie 3. Watch a Drag Show at the Stage in Mission 4. Take a Square-Dancing Class Together 5.

W Why would you get your vehicle g serviced at a s dealership? d Th There are many places these da days to get your vehicle serviced and repaired.

Some are good, g ssome unfortunately aren’t Kent Messer as good – some are honest, Service Manager and some‌ well you know.

Some people choose their repair shop based solely on price – which is great to save a dollar or two, but in the long run, is it really saving you money? There is a perception that dealerships are way more expensive that private shops but‌ are they really?

For every vehicle we service, we check for and perform any safety recalls that your vehicle may have – saving you time and keeping your vehicle and family safe.

A Condo Can Be an Ideal Income Property Regardless of whether you live in a house or condo, owning an income producing condo can prove to be a very savvy real estate investment.

Condos can be attractive investments because they usually require very little maintenance by the owner. However, managing an income property is not as easy as offering a short-term rental on your principal or vacation property. In many cases, legal agreements, bylaw compliance and condo rules and regulations come into play.

Also, you will need to decide whether to be a hands-on landlord, RU WR KLUH D SURSHUW\ PDQDJHPHQW ÀUP WR KDQGOH D YDULHW\ RI services, including dealing with tenants. Property managers can relieve you of handling most of the time-consuming aspects of landlord/ tenant relations, including interviewing prospective tenants, collecting rent and managing routine repairs.

However, hiring a property manager will not exempt you from your obligations as the condo owner, and your requirement to comply with condo corporation rules. It is also important to note that management fees added to condo fees will affect your monthly net income.

I’d be happy to meet with you to discuss further.

Ed Williams’ Community Christmas Dinner

Christmas is a time of family traditions, be it a certain food for dinner; a family activity; or a gift that gets handed down from generation to generation.

Ed Williams remembers Christmas dinners surrounded by strangers and neighbours. His mother would open her doors every Christmas and feed anyone who happened to stop by, whether they needed a warm meal, a jacket, or a friendly hug for the holidays. About eight years ago, due to illness, his mother was unable to continue this tradition. So, Ed and his wife Cathy have continued to open their doors and hearts every Christmas; their daughter Sherry baking pies for dessert and other family members pitching in to help.

Year after year, out of their three-bedroom home, they would feed up to 100 people, never asking for anything in return. This past Christmas, because of Ed's health issues, Pastor Ken opened up Bethel Church and volunteered his congregation to help Ed accommodate almost 400 people to a 2 pm and a 6 pm seating dinner.

Looking at the empty plates and happy faces, dinner was a success.
