PUBLISHER’S NOTE Calling All Foodies!

And now for some light reading…

Are you hungry? This issue of What’s On! Mission will be sure to entice your appetite! So many wonderful choices of places to eat in Mission and you will find the best right here in our very first Foodie Issue! Demand for space in this issue has been so high, that we were unable to run our planned directory of Foodie related businesses in the magazine so we will be posting a complete listing of Foodie businesses in Mission at www.whatsonmission.ca and www.facebook.com/whatsonmission soon!

When we set out to expand the number of pages in this issue of What’s On! Mission, we were anxious about our ability to fill so many pages yet, as it turned out, demand for space in this issue has been higher than ever! We ended with a waiting list and unfortunately were not able to include some wonderful stories that were sent to us, so we have already begun filling the pages for the July/August issue which we will be calling our Music Issue - featuring all the wonderful music that Mission has to offer. Keep those stories/articles coming in and we will do our best to include it in our next issue.

Seniors – receive a $20 eye exam with BC Medical Card / 65+ Children receive a NO CHARGE eye exam with BC Medical Card / Under 19 A fact in the eye industry is that 39 million people are blind and roughly six times that amount have vision impairment that they may or may not know about. Getting an eye exam is one of the sure fire ways to find out if you fit into that group of people who need glasses but may not be aware of it.

Eye exams do not only check for your glasses prescription, they also check for health issues such as cataracts and glaucoma which can affect your quality of living. You will experience a lot of living through your eyes and a great majority of your learning; your eyes are capable of processing 36,000 pieces of information in an hour and the eye itself is made up of over 200 million unanimously working parts. Your eyes are important and it is good to get them checked at least every two years. We look forward to you coming in for your eye exam in the near future.

Celebrating Mission’s Mobile Foodies! Suburban Spoon

After honing her skills at Cafe Veneto she opened up Chefs Secret Service Catering Company in Vancouver and went on to build it into a 40 seat restaurant.

Suburban Spoon is a fully equipped mobile kitchen that serves globally inspired cuisine.

Investor’s Capitalizing on Downtown Potential If only those old beams and rafters could talk, what stories they could tell. Built in the days when top quality fir lumber was cheap and plentiful, many of Mission’s downtown buildings used this material in abundance, usually well hidden under flooring or behind walls and ceilings. 33072 First Avenue is one of those buildings. Recently purchased by Cypress Hills Contracting Ltd., its old interior finishing has been gutted, and is in line to be the first building to be completely renovated under the downtown revitalization program initiatives. And its structural lumber is currently exposed to the world – a testament to its sound and durable construction. Those old beams do have stories. The building has been home to a number of reputable tenants, such as Murdoch’s Bookshoppe and Royal LePage. Its bottom floor facing Railway Avenue housed the Union Gospel Mission for many years. Its upper floor consisted of ten residential suites.

a family. Any company wishing to move here will be on the ground floor of an exciting and growing urban renewal. John Unger agrees. “We’re excited to be part of this downtown project,” he says. “We have a lot of confidence in Mission.” Stacey Crawford, MA Economic Development Officer District of Mission District of Mission Economic Development Office 34033 Lougheed Hwy., Mission, BC V2V 5X8 Tel: 604.820.3789 Fax: 604.820.6738 T Free: 1.866.814.1222 scrawford@mission.ca • www.mission.ca

Cypress Hills partner John Unger is excited about the project. “We’re very happy to be making a difference here.” He refers to the new blueprint drawings that detail the renovation plan. The north elevation facing First Avenue will feature old brick, brand new windows and warm exterior lighting, “a real heritage feel,” says John, in keeping with downtown planning guidelines. The street frontage will provide level entry to approximately 6,000 square feet of retail space, with lots of natural light from both south and north. But it’s the top ﬂoor that has the greatest potential. At 6,000 square feet, it is ready to be made into excellent ofﬁce accommodation for any type of small to mediumsized company. Mission lease rates are among the most affordable in the Fraser Valley, and are much lower than Vancouver’s. The West Coast Express is a three minute walk, coffee shops and restaurants abound, there are lots of recreation opportunities, and Mission is a wonderful place to raise

My name is Barb Block. On January 14th 2014, I found out I had inoperable stomach cancer. Doctors said they could do nothing for me, but give me palliative care. I was unable to eat or drink without severe pain. My family and I looked into alternative healing which led me to see Dolf at FUEL in Mission. Dolf suggested some vitamins and supplements. I began drinking his Dolphin Water and I did light therapy sessions at his store. After my first session I came home and I had no pain. For the first time in months I was able to drink a smoothie with no pain.

Now I have more energy and can eat food and drink with no pain. I am feeling great!

Chef de Cuisine Kerry D. Martin Chef de Cuisine Kerry D. Martin was born in Quebec and spent his childhood years in Ontario. Kerry’s grandfather was a chef instructor at Canadian Forces Base Borden in Ontario and was his greatest influence and role model in the world of cooking. He first learned about great tasting food on family camping trips; they ate cakes and pastries baked with a reflector oven using the campfire as a heat source, fresh vegetables were brought along from the home garden and fresh fish caught in the waters of Ontario were cooked to perfection on an open fire. The family then moved to British Columbia, settling in Mission in 1975, where Kerry attended Mission Secondary School. While in grade eleven, he enrolled in the Cafeteria Program and met his second mentor, Chef Gotzke, the person who made professional cooking fun. Kerry’s first job was at The Peppertree Restaurant in Mission. The next year graduation came with a scholarship to Vancouver Vocational Institute, now Vancouver Community College, where his cooks certificate was earned. After cooking school Kerry found full-time employment with the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver, which led to a 3 year apprenticeship and Red Seal Certification under Chef Othmar Steinhart. Then, to broaden his culinary experience, he worked at the Four Seasons Hotel, the Sheraton Landmark’s Cloud Nine Restaurant and then at The Canadian Club for Expo 86, which was where dignitaries from around the world dined while visiting the fair. After Expo, Kerry made the switch between Vancouver hotels to golf and country clubs, first Vancouver Golf Club, then University Golf Club where he earned his Chef de Cuisine Certification. In 1992 Kerry was recruited to be the consultant for the Food and Beverage Department at the soon to be built Northview Golf and Country Club, which opened in 1993. While there as Executive Chef, Kerry was involved in 5 PGA Tours. The next stop in his career was the Beach Grove Golf and Country Club after which he returned to Mission where he joined the management team at Cedarbrooke Chateau Retirement Residence and worked there as hospitality manager for three years. It was then that an opportunity arose that just could not be ignored. That charming little log building in Mission’s Fraser River Heritage Park which contained The Blackberry Kitchen Restaurant was looking for a new operator! Years of experience would come together here to create a warm comfortable dining experience celebrating Chef Kerry’s lifetime passion for delicious, fresh, food served city style…country casual.

Emma’s Acres: Reintegration, society Restoration and Food Security Background L.I.N.C. (Long-term Inmates Now in the Community) Society has been managing the community garden in Mission for the past four years, supporting our peer support group for survivors of homicide by selling the produce we have grown at the local farmers’ market. In 2011, L.I.N.C. won the Communities in Bloom Most Improved Garden in Mission, the Unsung Heroes Award, an honorable mention for the non proﬁt sector and in 2012 won the award for Best Non-Proﬁt Garden. Our work in the community garden was the focus of an awarding piece on Connect with Mark Kelly on CBC Newsworld. The executive director of L.I.N.C. was awarded a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal by Randy Kamp, MP in which the Society’s work in the garden was highlighted. L.I.N.C. also won the Fraser Valley Diversity Award for Inclusive Environment in March 2013.

Emma’s Acres Emma’s Acres is an urban agricultural social enterprise located at 34890 Cemetery Avenue in Mission, B.C. that employs offenders and ex-offenders. It is the brainchild of local residents, Glen Flett and his wife, Sherry EdmundsFlett, the founders of L.I.N.C. (Long- term Inmates Now in the Community) Society. The land for Emma’s Acres was leased from the District of Mission. In its ﬁrst year, the L.I.N.C. Society has been busy clearing the property in preparation for growing produce. Emma’s Acres plans to sell vegetables, herbs and fruits, which have been grown naturally without the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, at the Mission City Farmers’ Market and to local restaurants and stores. Some produce will be donated to local non proﬁts in the District of Mission, including the food banks and the community kitchen. The proceeds of the social enterprise business will go towards funding the L.I.N.C. Society’s work in the community, in particular its work with survivors of serious crime. Funding for the project has been provided by the Community Action Initiative, VanCity EnviroFund Envirofund and the Vancouver Foundation. A digital story has been created about the project which can be found at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b9pWhKXVfU. For more information about the L.I.N.C. Society go to: www.lincsociety.bc.ca.

SPRING LAWNCARE 101 Well folks, spring is ﬁnally here and that means it’s time to start working on our lawns. For those of you that want a lush, green lawn when summer rolls around but are not sure how to achieve that, the helpful hardware folks at ACE are here to lead the way!

STEP 1: REMOVE THATCH AND PATCH BARE SPOTS.

STEP 4: FERTILIZE WITH CARE.

Thatch is a tightly intermingled layer of living and dead stems, leaves, and roots which accumulates between the layer of actively growing grass and the soil underneath. This can be removed by using a stiff, long handled lawn rake. If bare spots occur, you may have to re-seed. For full instruction on re-seeding bare patches, check out our Help and Advice section on our new website, www. buildingsupplies.ca

STEP 2: LIME TO RAISE THE PH BALANCE OF THE SOIL. Winter rains wash away nutrients and make soil more acidic. A soil’s pH is the measure of its acidity and alkalinity. Grass likes a sweeter, more alkaline soil. The way to make soil less acidic is to add lime. Dolomite and DoloPril lime are the two most popular varieties.

STEP 3: MOSS-CONTROL. After liming is the best time to apply a moss-control fertilizer. However, since moss will still have to be raked away after it dies, and may even return, the best moss-control is to change the conditions where moss is growing. Decreasing your soil’s acidity, improving lawn drainage, and increasing natural light where possible are the best ways to reduce moss growth. Also, after raking up dead moss, sprinkling sand on the spots will help prevent regrowth.

Fertilizer can help your lawn grow thick and lush, but if it’s not used properly, it can actually damage the grass. A slow-release nitrogen fertilizer is best, and no more than 1 pound (0.45 kilograms) of nitrogen should be spread per 1,000 square feet (93 square meters). It should be applied early in the season when the turf begins actively growing, but be careful; using too much fertilizer or a fertilizer too rich in nitrogen will cause your grass to burn, and therefore undo all your hard work. Compost is a great alternative to chemical fertilizer as it won’t burn your grass and is much safer for the handler and the environment.

SO WHY BOTHER? Lawns are worth the work. You will be rewarded with an ideal surface to have picnics on or to play any number of summertime backyard games (Bocce ball anyone?) At the very least, lawns provide a still, green, surrounding to enjoy all summer long.

For more advice on lawncare, or any other project you have this spring, come visit the friendly helpful staff at Fraser Valley Ace Hardware.

C’mon get HEALTHY Having Fun is a priority for me,

check out these

Contributed by Wendy Weymann

FUN things to do in

Mission:

Go for coffee or tea with a funny friend ~ call your funniest friend & ask them out for coffee or tea. Blackberry Kitchen, English Tarts & the Sweet Spot all serve Karla’s Special teas which are made by a local Mission Mom ~ she’s cool & really passionate about TEA!

Get Creative ~ take an art class or go to the goodwill & refurbish an old piece of furniture. Mission now has a 4 Cats Art Studio – I’ve heard it’s awesome!!

Eat, drink & be merry! ~ Mission has some great restaurants & it’s always fun to take the night off from cooking & go out. The Springs & the Zoo have local craft beer & if you like Indian food (I do!!) check out Sangham Sweets or Rabab, my other favourite place to eat in Mission is Little Saigon in the Junction.

Get active ~ take a dance class, go to yoga or get out & play a sport. Get active with like-minded people is fun. If you are struggling to get motivated, JUST SHOW UP – 80% of life is simply showing up.

Indulge in entertainment ~ many years ago I backpacked through Europe, we ended up in a hostel that was full of bedbugs ~ we had already paid & didn’t have enough $$ for another hotel so we had to make the best of it. Our solution :: go check out a Broadway play & be entertained for the evening :: it made the night bearable. Check out what’s happening at the Clarke Theatre & the events page in What’s ON.

I asked Dianne Why She Hired Me? She said: 1. “I want a professional designer look.” 2. “I want the renovation done in a timely manner.” 3. “I want to save money.” 1. A “Professional Look”, is understanding the ‘principals’ of good design. Good design is seen in all ‘art forms’: floral, graphic, posters, hair-styles, fashion, cars, furniture, etc. The ‘principals’ of good design are: PROPORTION, SCALE, BALANCE and RHYTHM. Then add COLOUR, LIGHTING, TEXTURE and HARMONY. Ah, HARMONY: Most of us live with an ‘interesting’ assortment of styles. Interesting...because there is probably history in those favourite pieces of furniture and accessories. This style is called ECLECTIC. It’s how everything is combined/ grouped/arranged, that makes is work, and adding the ‘missing’ link’, such as finding a common theme: colour, pattern, style, purpose, formal, informal, etc. 2. In a “Timely Manner”, is the process of bringing your project together: planning, goals, priorities. Yes Interior Designers become psychologists, by asking a lot of questions, delving into your likes, dislikes, wants, and needs. Whether it is an office or in the home. What is the expected end result? How must it look and function?

Gail Hanslo Interior Design Registered Interior Designer • IDC NCIDQ Canada and USA

3. To “Save Money”. Even if it’s only in the budget to do things in stages. To avoid disappointment and eventually wanting or having to ‘redo’ it, and ‘trying again’, and you don’t want... “OH! THAT was the 2014 look”, and you do want a look of longevity, and an uncluttered coordinated look...THEN, you must have the total plan in place before you start

Some of my favorite things… By Cory Cassel

Every issue of What’s On! Mission is packed full of events, food, and services, which opens many opportunities to have new experiences. Here is one of my favorites. Through my work with Cory Cassel Productions, I have become great friends with Russell Pohl aka Mr. Mom. Russell is a caterer, chef, event producer, foster parent, advocate, facilitator, speaker, husband, and father. But for my husband Yosuke and I, Russell is a great friend who is always sure to put big smiles on both of our faces. Recently, Yosuke and I topped off a week of special occasions with a very romantic dinner for two, catered by Russell in his finest Mr. Mom’s form! Russell set an intimate, candlelit table for two and presented a fabulous 7 course menu fit for royalty and we enjoyed every bite. Have you ever had a meal catered in your own home? It was amazing to arrive with the table set, the meal prepared, served, and the cleanup was all taken care of! Read more about Mr. Mom’s World below and plan to have your next meal catered in!

Mr. Mom’s World Catering and Events is a full service catering company. With clients now in Hawaii, New York, Chicago, Toronto and LA, Mr. Moms Catering is fast becoming one of BC’s premier catering companies. Event planning is the tip of the iceberg of what Mr. Moms World can do for you. With a large inventory of linens, wedding décor, vendors, flowers, cakes, music and entertainment, it is little wonder why Mr. Mom’s World is starting to take BC by storm. Although Mr. Moms World started out under a different name that highlighted their Ukrainian Heritage, it went through a couple name changes over its 18 year history. The current name came about from the owner’s children, who had lovingly nicknamed him Martha, after Martha Stewart. Deciding perhaps being called Mr. Martha wasn’t so cool, he changed it to Mr. Mom instead. Russell has since changed the format of the company, moving away from the straight Ukrainian menus to a more modern, fresh approach. Although they still have a Ukrainian menu, they now have a variety of menus. All

CYCLING 4 DIVERSITY “We’re all learning about diversity. No one has all the answers. Sometime you just have to listen.” Cycling 4 Diversity is the brainchild of Mission resident, Ken Herar, conceived when he saw the need for raising diversity awareness, not only in the Fraser Valley, but all over BC. He, along with volunteer cyclists, tour Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland schools to speak to students about diversity every May. C4D began in May 2011 and Herar hoped for a way to encourage students and their community to become role models in their communities as diverse members. The 2014 ride starts on May 20 and winds up on May 23, and begins and ends at the Mission Indian Friendship Centre. There will be a First Nations theme, starting with a bandana ceremony and ending with a warming blanket ceremony; the bandana means ‘good luck,’ and the blanket means ‘welcome home.’ The team features 8-10 riders, along with 10 volunteers, and includes Abbotsford Deputy Fire Chief Rick Lucy, and Abbotsford city councillor Bill MacGregor. There will be 20 stops at elementary and high schools across the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland and the response from schools has been encouraging and welcoming. As well, the District of Mission and the Province of BC

have declared May 18-24 Cycling For Diversity week. “When we go to schools the message is simple: encourage kids during C4D week to make a new friend, reach out to their neighbors, play with new friends of different cultures, encourage that dialogue. Invite new people to your home, and if you see something wrong, do something. It’s a great time to reﬂect. We need more young role models to be part of C4D.” Herar says there’s more to be done. “We need to learn how to communicate with diverse communities and new immigrants, and try to encourage kids to talk about the great things about cultural diversity.”

CULTURE DAYS MADE A SPLASH IN MISSION Culture Days is a collaborative national movement to encourage awareness, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities, that takes place annually the last weekend in September. Last year Mission jumped aboard the national Culture Days initiative, with a number of events that took place over the last week-end of September 2013. On the Saturday, Ancestor Connections presented Baskets: Containers & Culture at the Mission Library. Activities Included an exhibit and demonstrations of basket making skills, stories about basket makers, and an opportunity to try some basic techniques. The Mission Historical Society also gave tours of the new heritage mural located at the Mission Archives. Fraser Valley Academy of Dance held an open house - a “behind the scenes” look at dance classes, and rehearsals for The Nutcracker. The Mission Spinners & Weavers Guild held their opening reception for their Fibres on the Fraser Exhibition at The Mission Arts Centre. On September 29, Mission celebrated BC Rivers Day with a new event, River Stories, Songs & Stewardship, at Mission Spirit Square. Sponsored by the Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition in partnership with the Mission Arts

Council and Mission Adopt-A-Block, the event included a river clean-up, performances by Leq’ a:mel First Nation Drummers and Singers and by the Serenata Singers; keynote speakers; interactive eco-arts including felting, pine-needle baskets and hands-on-arts opportunities for all ages, and stewardship information booths. All in all it was a great start to developing Mission’s own Culture Days event. We are hoping that more artists and organizations will join in celebrating arts and culture with the community September 26 to 28, 2014. The Cultural Resources Commission will be hosting an information session May 7 at 6pm at the Mission Leisure Centre with information on how to get involved in Culture Days 2014. For more information on Culture Days visit www. culturedays.ca or email the Cultural Resources Commission at culture@mission.ca.
