AVENUE Q

Music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx The Broadway Musical for Adults Irreverently witty and outright uproarious, Avenue Q is the musical story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college graduate who arrives in New York City looking for love, a job, and his purpose in life. The only neighbourhood he can afford is the multicultural Avenue Q, where Sesame Street-esque puppets rub shoulders with humans. Part felt, part flesh, Avenue Q is packed with songs that are surprisingly poignant and only occasionally politically correct.

THE ODD COUPLE

By Neil Simon The Classic Comedy of Mismatched Roomies Meet Felix Ungar, the neurotic, neat-freak news writer. Meet Oscar Madison, the slovenly sportswriter. When life changes bring them together as roommates, will these two friends learn to meet in the middle? Or will their irreconcilable differences split them apart? The Odd Couple, the now classic play that earned Neil Simon his first Tony Award, is one of the playwright’s funniest and most affecting works.

THE FOREIGNER

By Larry Shue An Arts Club Theatre Company presentation of Pacific Theatre’s production A Top-Secret Farce All Charlie wanted was a little peace and quiet. So when he arrives at a fishing lodge in Georgia, it seems harmless enough to masquerade as a foreigner who can’t speak English. He soon realizes, however, that people will say the most extraordinary things when they think no one can understand them! An award-winning comedic farce, The Foreigner is both scrupulously clever and outrageously funny.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE Let there be Music!

We are thrilled to announce that What’s On! Mission has been recognized for its contributions to the community. In April, What’s On! Mission received a Muse Award presented by the Cultural Resources Commission of the District of Mission. The magazine was recognized as an Arts Advocate by the commission. We are proud of this recognition and thank the Cultural Resources Commission for considering What’s On! Mission for this honour.

Thanks Mission,

In April, we were also honoured with a Business Excellence Award nomination from the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce in the Local Focus category. The Chamber describes the Local Focus as a business with a ‘significant local focus in their enterprise.’ We are very proud that 100% of our focus is on your community. Being recognized for simply doing what we do, is both flattering and rewarding. Thank-you Mission for honouring What’s On! Mission - we are proud to serve you!

I have been spending some time reminiscing about my time as a member of Affirmation - Hatzic Secondary School’s Vocal Jazz group. This year marks the 20th anniversary of my graduation from HSS and my final performance as member of this popular local music institution. For this issue, we reached out to many of Mission’s other musical institutions - the Folk Music Festival, Rockin’ River Music Fest, Joy Vox, Serenata, and many more - and tried to profile as many of Mission’s musicians as space and time would allow. What a vibrant musical community Mission has to enjoy and be proud of. Be sure to come on out to the Envision Twilight Concert Series every Wednesday and Friday evening at Fraser River Heritage Park until the end of August. I will see ya there!

Serenata

Serenata is a community women’s choir based in Mission, and draws its members from around the Central Valley. Conducted by Deborah Handley, we sing music from across centuries, cultures and genres with spirit, passion and joy. Serenata is a community. We are sisters, mothers, aunts, nieces, grandmothers and great grandmothers. We are accountants, students, teachers, judges, retirees and more. Some of us have a wealth of experience singing and some of us are coming with brand new eyes. But we all love to sing. More than that, we love the challenge of learning new music and creating some music together.

If you are interested in singing with us here’s what you need to know: • You don’t need to audition, or sing on your own. • You don’t need to read music. • You don’t need any previous experience with choirs or singing to join us. You might feel out of your depth at times but don’t worry; the singers around you will help, and you will acquire the skills just by ‘hanging in there.’ Each September and January we hold open rehearsals and encourage women to drop in DQG VHH LI ZH Ă€ W WRJHWKHU ,Q DGGLWLRQ WR FUHDWLQJ KDUPRQ\ DQG VLQJLQJ ZRQGHUIXO PXVLF ZH FDQ SURPLVH D ZDUP ZHOFRPH JUHDW VWRULHV JRRG IRRG DQG D ORW RI ODXJKWHU ,QWHUHVWHG" ,QWULJXHG" &XULRXV" :K\ QRW WDNH WKH SOXQJH" )RU PRUH LQIRUPDWLRQ FDOO 'HERUDK 7KH WLPH IRU VLQJLQJ KDV FRPH

DECKING 101 Are you building a new deck this summer? Does your current deck look like it was made out of salvaged driftwood? Whether you are re-staining your existing deck or staining new material, the helpful folks at Fraser Valley Ace Hardware are here to help you through your project.

PREPARATION IS PARAMOUNT CLEANING

Pressure washing is always a good idea in order to remove dirt and debris from both new and old decking material. Note: Make sure you use a correct nozzle and a lower power setting to avoid damage to your deck. Using a liquid deck cleaner will also help.

SANDING

Every year people ask if it is necessary to sand their deck boards prior to staining. Yes, yes it is. We agree that sanding is hard work and is a less than desirable chore, but if you want the best results from your efforts then sanding is absolutely crucial.

WHY?

If your decking is new, then sanding will remove the millglaze from the boards. Mill-glaze is a clear layer of melted sap that forms when the rough lumber is passed through the planer during the milling process. This barrier must be removed in order for stain to penetrate the boards properly. If your decking has existing stain on it then the old stain must be sanded down before new stain can be applied uniformly. If you let your deck boards sit for too long before staining they may start to turn grey. The greying of the wood is DFWXDOO\ GHDG ZRRG À EHUV ZKLFK \RX FDQ UHPRYH E\ XVLQJ a restoration product or sanding. This will allow the stain and wood lasts longer.

GET TESTED

Use a moisture meter to check the moisture level of your deck. In order for stain to work properly your decking must be below 18% moisture content.

WAIT FOR GOOD WEATHER

Do not stain wet decking! If your deck is not dry then your stain will lift, bubble and peel like a bad sunburn, and just like a sunburn, this will undoubtedly make you angry.

However, if the weather is over 30 degrees Celsius than it is too hot to stain as the stain doesn’t have the opportunity to penetrate into the wood and will merely just sit on top.

TIME TO STAIN

Is your deck dry? Clean? Sanded? Now your deck is ready to receive your stain. For best results roll the stain of your choice onto the deck and then use a brush to evenly paint the stain into the wood. This is called “back-brushing� and will maximize the amount of stain that penetrates into your deck. Also, stain or seal the cut ends and bottom of your boards for increased longevity.

IN CONCLUSION

+DYLQJ D VWDLQHG GHFN LV D WHUULĂ€ F ZD\ WR DGG YDOXH DQG beauty to your home and is well worth the effort. However, no matter what product you use, your deck will require annual maintenance to some degree and will need to be restained every couple of years. The frequency of re-staining and level of up-keep is dependent on many variables including but not limited to: direct sunlight, weather, quality of construction, and product quality and application.

TOO MUCH WORK?

If all this protocol and maintenance seems like too much of a hassle for you, we also sell composite decking in a variety of colours!

ways to eat more fruits and veggies

1

Smoothies! I bought one of those fancy schmancy blenders so now every time I make something my family gets an infomercial! My go-to recipe is this: handful of spinach, 1 cup frozen fruit, hemp seeds, chia seeds, banana, coconut milk or juice, Greek yogurt & dates or honey to sweeten. #bestwaytoeatspinach

My name is Irene and I am from Mission. I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer just over a year ago. Crushed and at a loss of faith I didn’t know where to turn. The doctor wanted to take out my bladder but that wasn’t the answer for me. I came across a copy of What’s On Magazine and found FUEL Supplements & Vitamins’ testimonials. I went to see Dolf and told him what I was battling. Dolf explained the benefits of his Dolphin Water which I started drinking right away. He also helped me with my nutrition and suggested some supplements. After 2 ½ months I had a cystoscopy check and was completely clear. I am staying with Dolphin Water and never looking back. Thank you Dolf! I have been suffering with Psoriasis for over 40 years now. Dolf at FUEL introduced me to Quantum Light Therapy and Alkaline Water with Oxygen which I have been drinking for about 6 months now. It has made a huge difference in my life! My skin has cleared up which has given me confidence so I can wear shorts and not be embarrassed. I'm a much happier person now. I can smile and enjoy life! Thanks to Dolf and Zorka at Fuel.

AVAILABLE AT THE

CAPTAIN’S CABIN & I TUNES CD COST $15 (2 Song Bonus) www.mervtremblay.com

A few years back after the loss of a good friend Merv wrote the tune WISH YOU WERE HERE.. and after fellow musician and friend Tommie Allen slowly lost his battle to Cancer, Merv decided to record the song and donate all the royalties to Cancer in Tommie Allen's name. Merv says '' Cancer has touched each and everyone one of us on such a personal level...it used to be when I was growing up that you only heard of someone that had Cancer... now there's not one of us out there who hasn’t been touched by Cancer in some way It has touched all our families..mom,dad etc... and now our children are passing before our eyes.. Something is really wrong here..''

"WISH YOU WERE HERE"

ALL PROCEEDS & ROYALTIES TO HELP THE TOMME ALLEN CANCER & RESEARCH FUND

REQUEST IT ON 107.1 FM Merv is a dynamic singer/songwriter, seasoned entertainer and a must see. “Please help us fight this ongoing battle by requesting'' WISH YOU WERE HERE'' at COUNTRY 107.1 866 468 1071 or message them on Facebook.... or purchasing the song on Itunes or purchase a CD with 2 bonus songs for $15.00. You can get your copy at his weekly Sunday Jam or on his website www.mervtremblay.com . Merv has over the years supported many charities..with the latest one THE RIDE FOR LIFE supporting colon cancer for men, raising over $150,00.00 for Cancer....Merv says'' we didn't help as much as it appears as all we did was perform for the closing ceremonies...all the hard work goes to the volunteers for the event. Merv and his band Terry Carter, Steve Sharples, Len van Oosten can be seen this year at Mission Fest 2014,and The ROCKIN' RIVER FEST.. so please come out and support them in anyway you can, as all ROYALTIES FROM WISH YOU WERE HERE go to cancer research,,,the more you request the song the more it gets played and that's where the ROYALTIES come from...is from radio....so please call COUNTRY 107.1 ASAP and help Merv and his team fight cancer....''

Benefits of Arts & Culture to our Community Written by Bronwen Sutherland There is a moment in the course of a live performance that is purely magical. It happens for only a few seconds when the house lights dim, and the stage is standing as a silent sentinel in complete blackness. It is in that moment that the possibilities, dreams and expectations of the audience are held tightly in the grips of the artist and everything and anything is in the realm of probabilities. Live Performance can transform a person, a family or even a community. It can celebrate, educate, create a tool for change, record the culture of a community and it can simply entertain. An experience at the theatre can stay with someone for their entire lives. The value of a cultural artistic event is immeasurable to the health of the community; however there have been countless studies that suggest the À QDQFLDO EHDULQJ RI WKHVH HYHQWV LV HQRUPRXV Performances, including festivals and community celebration, can be an extraordinary economic driver for a neighborhood or a community of any size. A quick study of the anatomy of an event illustrates the impact of a single event at the Clarke Theatre. These events happen many times over the course of a month and not only at the theatre, but many other facilities throughout the Mission community.

During the course of the day of an event audience members spend money at community businesses – restaurants, drug stores, grocery stores, fast food restaurants and specialty stores. In some cases, hotel and bed and breakfast rooms are booked for larger festivals and events. The average out of town audience member spends $75 in the community, above and beyond the price of their admission ticket. During larger Festivals and Events that amount is closer to $125 per person. This can amount to $75,000 for one single event at the Clarke Theatre. This is a fraction of the initial investment from municipal and regional funding agencies. 7KH HQRUPRXV À QDQFLDO UHWXUQV DUH LPSRUWDQW to all the residents of Mission, but they pale in comparison to the quality of life the cultural sector offer to the community.

What Buyers Love: Prepare Your Home to Sell Quickly 1 Buyers love light and bright homes. Add high intensity light bulbs and be sure to clean all light shades and covers. 2. Buyers love clean homes. Do a thorough cleaning throughout. Give special attention to: windows, screens, counter tops, appliance tops, mirrors, ovens, sinks, toilets, and tub/ shower walls. 3. Buyers love spacious rooms. Arrange furniture and décor to improve each room. 5HPRYH XQQHFHVVDU\ LWHPV WKDW GRQ·W À W LQ 4. Buyers love a fresh coat of paint. Think white, off-white, or beige. These neutral colors make rooms look bigger and are most likely to coordinate with the new buyer’s décor and furnishings. 5. Buyers pay attention to tiny details. Fix all of the “little things” – loose doorknobs, leaky faucets, towel racks, and clean and repair caulk areas. 6. Buyers should love the smell of your home, it is their most memory inducing sense. Don’t hesitate to burn candles with warm scents such as cinnamon bun and apple pie. 7. Buyers want to see themselves living in your home. Remove your family photos, put all personal collections into storage, and ensure your home is ready for its new owners!
