It’s summer, 1947, and Lady Florence Andering-Ffyffe and her daughter Enid are expecting a visit from their old friends the Millsbys. But shortly after their arrival, a young man is found brutally murdered in the delphinium patch. Detective Inspector Volper is summoned, but Lady Florence is unhelpful, Mrs Millsby is meddling and before long another body shows up.

This Agatha Christie-style murder mystery is a rollicking who-dun-it, with plenty of twists and turns and a surprise ending!

Five Best Diet ChangesProudly supported by: What’s

!On

A new year - a new start. How can you start improving your diet and your chances of leading a healthier lifestyle?First – eat breakfast!After many hours without food our bodies need refuelling to bring the blood sugar back up and ensure the brain and muscles are functioning properly. Eating breakfast aids concentration and creates energy.

Drink more waterWe lose on average 2-4 litres of water a day, which needs to be replaced. Current advice is to drink 6-8 glasses daily to ensure that our brain, blood and muscles are able to function at their best.

Eat more fruit and vegetablesTheir vitamins and minerals boost the immune system, whilst antioxidants fi ght cancer and disease, and fi bre cleanses the gut. We should eat fi ve portions per day.

Eat less red meatReduce the risk of bowel and other cancers. Health experts suggest 500g per week(the equivalent of one steak, one pork chop, 2 sausages and a portion of Bolognese sauce)or 70g per day (three rashes of bacon).

Eat more consciouslyTake time to really taste and savour the food in your mouth. Be aware of the textures andfl avours - and chances are you will enjoy your food more whilst eating less of it! Remember, you are what you eat. Eat healthy, be healthy!

“I had always been very athletic and trained religiously. When my 8 yr old daughter passed away I spiralled out

of control, going from a shredded 140lbs to a battered, abused 205lb unhealthy body. Because of the damage I had done to myself I started to not only concentrate on

I relied heavily on Dolf for direction and he introduced me to alkaline water, which made me feel more energetic and focused. There is no doubt in my mind that alkaline water has a huge positive impact on the whole body. Dolf helped me with the water, supplements, body cleanses, nutrition advice and moral support through the ups and downs of the process and still continues to. Thank you Dolf“ Chris is now a personal trainer at Golden Ears Physiotherapy in Maple Ridge 604.463.9968

6th Annual MissionWriters and Readers Festival

24 What’s On! • www.whatsonmission.ca

Gallery 7 Theatre is pleased to present:Mary’s WeddingJanuary 18 & 19, 24 – 26, 31 – February 2 Canadian playwright Stephen Massicotte’s beautiful and heart-rending play about love, loss, war and peace.

On the night before her wedding, Mary dreams of love, war, what was and what could be. Her thoughts focus on her fi rst love, Charlie, who she met by chance in a barn while seeking shelter from a prairie thunderstorm. An innocent romance develops, only to be thwarted by the turbulent times of 1914. Separated by war, Charlie sends letters from the front, and a story of love, loss and healing emerges in a poetic theatre experience written by one of Canada’s leading playwrights. Directed by Katherine Hill and featuring Annette Reilly and Matt Veenbaas, Mary’s Wedding runs

MEI Auditorium, 4081 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford.

Tickets can be purchased:In person at House of James, 2743 Emerson Street, Abbotsford, By phone at 604-852-3701 Online at www.gallery7theatre.com.

Have You Seen The New Mission“Rise” Youth Mural?About 10 years ago, Doug Cariou from Cyrus Art and Barry McLeod from Mission Youth Unlimited began to talk about the possibility of involving youth in the creation of a wall mural.The conversation fi nally became a reality in the fall of 2012 with the creation of the Mission RISE Youth Mural.

A District of Mission 120th anniversary grant, along with the support of numerous businesses, enabled us to complete this project. The mural portrays 6 young people from Mission involved in activities that they excel at:Jason Page - BMXer, Wesley McLeod - Junior Hockey Goalie, Carly Rae Jepsen - Singer/Songwriter, Natalie Charlton - Stave Falls Scottish Dancer, Amanda Sheffi eld - F. V. A. D. Ballet Dancer & Josiah Cariou - Skateboarder

11 Mission youth helped with the painting: Devan Locke, Videographer - Ruth Cariou, Cameron McLeod, Hailly Martin, Raz Boca, Trevor Bentley, Cecil Smith Williams, Zach Cariou, Turia McLean Smith, Ronald Smith Williams, Aisha Smith.

The mural is located in the parking lot of the Eleni’s Restaurant on N. Railway in Downtown Mission. A video showing a time lapse of the mural painting is available on www.whatsonmission.ca.Post Cards of the mural will also be available in local stores.Proceeds will be used to maintain the mural and for other youth art projects.
