What’s On! In the Community 30
Congratulations to you, the community, for all of your hard work and passion that went into making the Mission 2014 BC Winter Games the biggest and most exciting event to come to Mission. Hundreds of volunteers and dozens of businesses and organizations came out to support the Games – Mission, you stepped up once again and made it happen! Bravo!
As we look forward to the next couple of months, there are so many highlights to anticipate: Opening Nite Theatre is running ‘Anybody for Murder,’ Mission Hospice Society hosts its ‘Once Upon a Time Gala,’ there is lots to do at Fraser River Heritage Park, and so much more – mark your calendar and don’t miss a thing!
For the May/June 2014 issue, What’s On! Mission will be adding 12 new pages to our publication.

Hi, my name is Kyle and I’m 23 years old. I have had epilepsy since 1994. I had seizures every month. I wasn’t able to get my driver’s license because of my seizures. I started drinking Dolphin Water from FUEL in Mission. Dolf suggested a few things to clean up my diet and some supplements. My life has changed this past year because I have not had a seizure since I started drinking Dolphin Water and now I have my driver’s license.Thank you Dolf!
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!

They took their first whirl around the dance floor over 50 years ago and have been kicking up their heels ever since. When they started looking for retirement living options, they were pleased to find out that Chartwell Retirement Residences offers active lifestyle programs like their signature Rhythm & Moves class.
And while they are enjoying a busy lifestyle today, they appreciate the peace of mind in knowing that Chartwell offers flexibility and choice to help with changing care needs in the
future. Until that time, they’ll continue to follow where the music leads in their new Chartwell home.

ToastmastersMembership in Toastmasters is cost effective and is one of the greatest investments you can make in yourself. The environment in a Toastmasters club is friendly and supportive. You’ll laugh and learn while you practice in a friendly environment with people who are there for the same reason you are: to become better communicators.Everyone at a Toastmasters meeting feels welcome and valued, from complete beginners to advanced speakers. In a club meeting, you practice giving prepared speeches as well as brief impromptu presentations. There is no rush and no pressure; the Toastmasters program allows you to progress at your own pace. Constructive evaluation is central to the Toastmasters philosophy. Each time you speak, an evaluator will point out (your)strengths as well as suggest improvements. Receiving and giving such feedback is a great learning experience. In Toastmasters, encouragement and improvement go hand-in-hand. “Not only has being a member of Mission Toastmasters helped me gain confi dence to speak in public, but I’ve also made many new friends. The club is a very welcoming and supportive environment to learn to speak up and be heard in all areas of life.”Member: Catherine Simmons

Chef Kerry’s Award Winning Chili

Here is the recipe for the Mission Chamber of Commerce Chili Cook-Off 2013 - Makes 8 servings.
A wonderful accompaniment to chili! - Makes 8 pieces.
Two FEET & a HEARTBEAT - Do you feel like you’re tied to your phone? Addicted to candy crush & crackbook? Go for walk or lace up your sneakers and go for a run. There are lots of great parks & trails in Mission. I like the trail at Centennial Park (11th & Taulbut), and if you’re looking for something more challenging google “trails in Mission BC” there are lots of options.
Put some WHEELS on - If you like biking, rollerblading and skateboarding there are lots of places in Mission to get rolling! Check out the Fraser Valley Mountain Bikers Association (www.fvmba.com) if you’re into mountain biking or if roller blading is more your thing check out MAC Roller Hockey. If you really want a challenge leave your car at home and ride your bike to work.
When in doubt PADDLE it out - For kayaking, canoeing and stand up paddle boarding, Mission has some awesome local lakes and waterways. I try to get out on the water as much as possible; Stave Lake is my favourite but Rolley, Hayward, Sayers & Hatzic Lake are great local lakes.
Go FISHING - It’s no secret that Mission has some of the world’s best salmon and sturgeon fi shing. It was on my bucket list to “catch a sturgeon” and one of my friends hired a guide to take us out for the day. It was a truly unforgettable day on the water. If you need a theme song for this event I suggest Madonna: Like a Virgin Sturgeon!
TEAMWORK makes dream work - Team sports are great for the community and an awesome way to get outside. Soccer, softball, football and baseball are just a few team sports you can join in Mission. If team sports aren’t really your thing get a group of friends together & go play tennis at Centennial Park or check out the beach volleyball at Griner Park.

Is Your Life Bubble Wrapped?A good friend of mine once told me: “Life begins as soon as you step outside of your comfort zone”. This same sentiment was echoed in Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous instruction to “do one thing every day that scares you.”
To leave your comfort zone and voluntarily do things that scare you may sound risky, but that is exactly what you need to do - take a risk!How is a risk defined? Simply put, it is any activity that presents you with a personal challenge and also has the possibility of failure. Whether it is saying “Hi” to a stranger, trying a Zumba class, or completing an outdoor fitness challenge – risks can benefit your mental and physical health.
Risk taking can bring the following benefits:· Increased dopamine levels (feel-good hormone)· Improved self-esteem· Personal growth· Sense of belonging and trust within a group· Confidence in your capabilities
So take off that bubble wrap and stepoutsideyour comfort zone today!

Molly Magid, ceramic artist and owner of Mission Clay Works Studio and Gallery, is celebrating her 5th Anniversary in her downtown Mission location. After working for many years running Therapeutic Art Programs for Veterans living in residential care, Molly decided to open her own studio and focus her attention on making her own artwork.
Dental building in the lane between 1st and 2nd Avenue heading East from Grand Street. Watch for the pottery sign pointing into the lane.
Molly states,” I am pleased when people come into my studio looking for pottery that they will give as a gift or use themselves everyday.” In addition to working on her own work, she conducts sessions for children after school, home learners who take clay classes for Art credits, adults who want to start a new hobby or who have taken clay classes years ago in school and want to pick it up again.
As well, individuals with special needs come to Mission Clay Works for classes geared to their particular level of
ability. Their Open House and Sale will be held on Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4, 2014 from 11 am to 4 pm.
