10 TIPS FOR PACKING LIKE A PRO The secret? Being organized. Make sure you have the right tools—packing tape, permanent markers, sticky notes, and lots of boxes on hand will make your move much easier. Start early and work steadily. Make progress every day with your packing instead of leaving it all until the last minute. e.

1. Develop a master “packing/to do” liist so you won’t forget something critical.

2. Purge! Get rid of things you no longe er want or need. Have a garage sale, donate to a charity, or recycle. Remember to ask yourself how w frequently you use that item and how you would feel if you no longer had it.

3. Pack like items together. Put toys with h toys and kitchen utensils with kitchen utensils.

4. Decide what, if anything, you plan to move yourself. Precious items, such as family photos, breakable valuables, or must-haves during the move. Wrap fragile items individually.

5. Put heavy items in small boxes so they are easier to lift. Keep the weight under 50 lbs., if possible.

6. Do not over pack boxes — boxes that are packed comfortably will be less likely to break.

7. Label every box on all sides. Use color-coded labels to indicate which room each item should JR LQ &RORXU FRGH D ÁRRU SODQ IRU \RXU QHZ house to help your movers.

8. Keep your moving documents together, including phone numbers, the drive er’ss nam name, and van n number. Also keep you ur address ess s bo ook k han handy. dy dy. y.

Local Builder Wins Big on National Stage!

The Canadian Home e Builders’ Association (CHBA) CHBA Nationa National Awards for Housing Excellence were presented on Friday May 6, 2016 in Kelowna. Local builder Lacey Construction Ltd. was honoured as the winner of Best Whole Home Renovation $250,000 $500,000!

Chosen from a slate of impressive submissions from CHBA members across Canada, Lacey Construction’s Ltd. whole home transformation was the winning entry with ‘Farmhouse Reimagined’.

Dairy farmers are an important part of the landscape in Deroche. Lacey Construction worked with a local family to transform their one-story farmhouse into a two story Reimagined Farmhouse. Taking the home up a story and increasing the square footage by 50% was a large project, involving all hands on deck from Team Lacey!

Working with their clients to ensure minimal disruption to the operation of the dairy farm, Lacey staff worked with local suppliers and trades to create an amazing award winning project! President Erik Lacey was on hand with his partner and wife Lesa Lacey to receive the

award. “We are proud of our team, trades suppliers and most importantly our amazing clients for the renovation! Thank you for making a dream come true!”

Lacey Developments was a finalist in the CHBA National Awards in 2014 for Whole Home Renovation and CHBA BC Georgie finalist in 2013 – and now winning on a National stage in 2016! It was an excellent evening to be honoured, made doubly sweet as May 5, 2016 marked Lacey Construction Ltd.’s 17th year in business. Lacey Developments proudly serves the Fraser Valley, with a focus on custom homes, renovations and recently, the exterior Railway Street side renovation of the Mission Friendship Centre.

Erik Lacey remarked “Tonight is an achievement for our whole team – we have the best crew around and we are grateful to work in the Fraser Valley for close to two decades and look forward to many more years serving our community.” www.laceydevelopments.com

Recipes from The Blackberry Kitchen

Back by Popular Demand!

We have had so many requests for the Blackberry Kitchen’s famous scone recipe that we are bringing it to you once again...

This was the original recipe when The Blackberry Kitchen first opened in 1986!

Heritage Scones Makes 12 scones.

Ingredients 2 cups flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 3 teaspoons sugar

1 cup buttermilk

Directions Place all dry ingredients in a bowl, stir to mix together.

Cut or shred butter into small pieces and add to dry mix.

Rub to mix.

Add the buttermilk slowly.

Mix by hand to bind all ingredients together.

Knead lightly about 10-12 times.

Divide in half.

Shape each half into a ball and then roll out to 8” diameter.

Cut each circle into 6 wedges like a pie, separate and bake at 450 degrees until light brown.

Serve with Devonshire Cream and Blackberry Jam.

The Blackberry Kitchen The Blackberry Kitchen is located in Mission’s beautiful 40 acre Fraser River Heritage Park. Stunning panoramic views of the Fraser Valley and Mt. Baker enhance your dining experience.

Family-friendly Mission Folk Music Festival on track for another great year!

Music and community remain at the heart of the Mission Folk Music Festival returning July 22, 23 & 24 to beautiful Fraser River Heritage Park for its 29th year.

“New community partnerships and the generosity of individuals who have supported our fundraising efforts has been tremendous,” says Board chair John Vissers. “Changes and funding challenges created uncertainty about this year’s festival, but so many people want us to continue, it’s been a real boost to our efforts to carry on.”

Friday and Sunday events at the park are by donation as organizers ask patrons to “pay what you can.” As a thank you to the community, Saturday’s show is offered at the reduced rate of $29 per person (+GST) in recognition of the festival’s 29th year.

The festival will encompass the best parts of years past and feature blues, roots, folk, trad, and global music performers.

34

The children’s area will be filled with music, arts and storytelling with something for the kid in everyone.

Enjoy the fabulous food concessions and beverages at the Festival Bistro. Browse the Artisan Market highlighting local artists and makers, for treasures including jewellery, clothing, musical instruments and much more.

Sunday features rousing gospel from 11 am – 2 pm at the park. The festival shifts east to the Historic Dewdney Pub for a service at the Church of the Blues. The musical feast then moves back into Mission City for the closing concert.

“The 29th annual will definitely be a departure from past years,” says Michelle Demers-Shaevitz, General Manager. “It will be much more intimate in terms of size and scope but with the same commitment to artistic excellence and eclectic programming, and all the heart and passion that has carried this muchloved festival through the years.”

The emphasis on community will be front and centre on Friday night. Sponsored through a generous patron, the evening features a number of acts starting at 6pm, and is a gift to the community of Mission.

Bring the family and your friends - Friday and Sunday events are by donation. Saturday’s show is $29 per person for adults. The youth rate (13-18) is $10, and children 12 and under are admitted free of charge. On-site camping is available on Friday and Saturday nights with the purchase of a Saturday ticket.

On Saturday, you’ll find an exciting selection of performance and collaborative stages along with participatory workshops with everything from stringed things to drumming to dance. The main stage will be at a new location in the park, with a side stage that will showcase full performances during set changeovers.

Tickets for Saturday’s show and camping are on sale at www.missionfolk.brownpapertickets.com.

For the latest news, visit the festival website at www.missionfolkmsuicfestival.com or follow the Festival on Facebook.

NEW NEW NEW The best little country fair on earth! Plan for the best 3 days of your summer to be at Agrifair!

Your “stay-cation” destination.

Haven’t heard yet?

Agrifair is the place to be July 29 to 31, 2016

Welcome to Agrifair 2016, we truly are the best little country fair on earth!

“Abbotsford Agrifair” the name implies cows and tractors, which we are; however we are so much more! We are the new fair for the new millennial. Traditionally when people think of an agriculture fair they think animals, tractors and farmers. We have all that – but we have so much more for the everyday guest. And so much is NEW this year that should you think “I went last year, I don’t need to go again” we can only say – put that thought aside, open your mind and read this: As you enter the fair you will be greeted by lllamas, rabbits, donkeys, and maybe even a buffalo – not the fair you thought is it?

N this year is a Fraserway RV FREE New family fun building. A place to get out of the heat but still stay on site, complete with a mothers/fathers room which will w include FREE diapers, wipes and some water to wet your whistle and maybe even w a melting down child’s whistle. This Family venue has only allowed a few specially selected vendors focusing on family and home life. Usborne books will be located by the literacy area, Epicure Selections and Partylite are wonderful home products for any generation. As well as Young Living Essential Oils, 2M Productions with jewelry and specialty felts for children, and don’t forget to visit other new vendors including Your Inspiration at Home for inspiration!”

These are just a few of the family based vendors Agrifair has included in the family venue. Inside this building haven is FREE minigolf, FREE rockwall climbing, FREE playstation area, FREE reading area, Free Science World shows, FREE playtime with lego and Keva building areas, FREE arts & crafts and more!

Check out the all NEW feature of roving entertainment of clowns, magicians, drum bands, balloon artists and NEW collaboration with Gallery 7 hosting on site games and instant cash prizes!

Need to cool down in the evening? NEW entertainment on the main stage will feature CiVL Radio talent contest winners on each night, followed by NEW family comedy show from Yuk Yuk’s Abbotsford.

GENERATE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

18-35

Meet one of your own; y working hard in the communit Q: What jobs and experiences have led you to your present position?

Shonora Erickson Age: 21 Q: What is your interest in the community?

A: I like to volunteer at the Mission Youth House on my day off and before my shifts at work. I really wanted to help, even if it was a single person. Through the Youth House I was able to take part in the Coldest Night of the Year walk for the hungry and hurting. It's opportunities like these that make me so grateful to be a part of the community.

Q: Why did this type of interest appeal to you and how did you get started?

A: I was looking for some experience working with youth in the community in order to fuel my desire to become a social worker. As a former Foster care child I understand the need for adult support. My younger sibling uses MY house frequently and I am very grateful for their love and support the staff have shown her. I applied at several different centres through recommendations from community services involving at risk and homeless youth. I was given a tour and the MY House seemed like the perfect fit for what I was looking for.

Q: What are the skills that are most important to have?

A: Patience, love and understanding. These three skills are everything you will need to work with teens! I think p that beingg yyourself is so important, so stay true to who you are and the youth will love you even m more.

A: When I was in high school I spent my spare time helping younger aboriginal students. I gave them advice on how to solve problems either with family, friends or school homework. I think those experiences made me realize how much a friend or a role model could really help them. As I built relationships with them I knew that I wanted to do something more so I became an active member of the community through MY house. I think that the combination of my experience with the foster care system and seeing kids hurting and looking for help has led me to my position at the Youth House.

LET US HELP U FIND A SPORT

Q: What do you like most about this?

A: The MY House is an amazing non judgmental place where kids and young adults can come and find all the resources they need. I love that they can help you with something as simple as laundry or as complex as finding help with drug addiction or housing. My coolest experience was during Christmas, the youth each got to open their gift, the smiles on their faces were priceless.

Q: Can you suggest some ways a student could obtain this necessary experience?

A: I suggest to become more knowledgable of your community! Find out what resources are offered, donate clothes, food, or time. As the local food banks or churches if they would like a helping hand organizing donations. Apply at centres for weekly volunteer or sign up to help out for a community event, you will be hooked in no time.

What’s New at the Hall

Secondary Suites There have been a lot of questions about the secondary suite program and we wanted to answer some of those for our demographic.

This is an existing program that, after cuts, staff couldn't manage any more. Council directed staff to re-instate the program because they felt it brought some fairness to municipal taxes by making sure that all the homes with extra renters, using more utilities and garbage, were paying for that extra use.

More people means more wear & tear on roads, more water consumption, more garbage, more sewage, and more demands on stuff like the Leisure Centre and our parks and trails.

It's important we all contribute in as fair a way as possible - and as we move into phase 2 and 3 of this project staff will be bringing forward ideas on how to improve the program moving forward.

: Mission Young Adult Committee

If you have ideas on how to improve the secondary suite program visit mission.ca and share your comments with staff.
