APRIL 2018 A monthly guide to events, resources and services for Mission Seniors

KEVIN MILLS PHOTO

Never too old to fulfill your life’s dreams Long-time Silverhill resident Karin Edberg-Lee holds up an old photo of the Silverhill area. The picture shows what the area used to look like while looking down from about where the Silverdale Hall is, towards Keystone Road. Edberg-Lee, a collector of historical clothing and a community volunteer, is wearing a “natural flower” style headpiece that would be worn by a woman for any traditional Swedish celebration.

Karin Edberg-Lee has lived in the Mission area for almost her entire life. When she was six years old, her family moved from Port Coquitlam to her grandfather’s homestead in Silverhill.

She went to school at Silverhill Elementary and eventually graduated from Mission Secondary in 1958 and is now looking forward to her 60th grad reunion later this year.

Back then, Silverhill was in her words “basically the little Swedish community that settled and stayed.”

It was there that she first learned about volunteering.

“In our time, the children pitched in and helped with community events and efforts, whatever they were ... I’ve been volunteering all my life.”

Some of the first groups she joined included the Junior Red Cross and 4H. She then progressed to coaching baseball, working with the legion and other groups.

But Edberg-Lee says people don’t volunteer like they used to. With both men and women working full-time, the majority of volunteers now seem to be seniors.

“I think volunteering is something that’s going to have to be missed before they realize it has to be re-established.”

And she’s doing her part and more. Never one to sit idly by, Edberg-Lee is as busy as she ever was.

After joining with Lifetime Learning, she managed to combine some of her greatest passions into a full-time commitment.

“Fashions, clothing and history for me just fit together and are two of the things I’m passionate about.”

Edberg-Lee has an “enormous” collection of old clothing that has overtaken her basement. She uses them to put on historic fashion shows all across the province.

Organizations hold the events as fundraisers and she is only too happy to help.

“This past year, for Mission’s 125th, I dressed about 35 people who were in period costume at the picnic.”

Last year she did a show in White Rock for Canada’s 150th and she has organized many others. On a good year, she’ll do six different historical clothing shows, but now prefers to do fewer.

She managed to amass her collection of historical clothing the old-fashioned way.

“I did some very selective thrift shop scouring.”

As her reputation grew, people began to donate clothes to her. Some even include an old photo of a relative wearing the outfits.

She hopes that, one day, she can donate those items – the ones with specific details – to the Mission Museum, if they want them.

Organizing shows and collecting historical pieces aren’t Edberg-Lee’s only talents.

She used to belong to a ladies’ singing group called Harmony, which performed together for 35 years.

The group would travel around the Lower Mainland entertaining people at rest homes and other venues.

She decided to leave the group about a dozen years ago when she became more deeply involved in costuming and creating clothes.

“Clothing won over singing.”

None of this would have been possible, said Edberg-Lee, if she hadn’t started volunteering. It not only provides you with a broad and varied contact with a lot of people doing a lot of different things, but you’ll find an interest in something you’ve never really thought about before.

“You’re never too old to fulfill your life’s dreams. You just have to get out there and start doing things, and get into certain situations where your ideas and passions are appreciated ... You can’t live a full life just sitting in front of the television.”

POTS Use pots that are deep enough for the roots of the plants you’ll be growing.

Lettuce and most herbs do well in shallow containers, while cucumbers and tomatoes need much more depth. It’s also important that your planters have holes in the bottom to allow excess water to drain.

Dental Implants This couple has something to smile about.

They used to wear dentures, which caused discomfort, an inability to eat many foods and a lack of confidence when it came to smiling and talking.

Now they enjoy the freedom of dental implants, which are as close to natural teeth as you can get. People who lose a tooth want to replace it with something permanent, says Dr. Lui, instead of something they have to remove. “Once you give someone new, permanent teeth, you can see their personality shine through again.”

MISSION HOSPICE SOCIETY

We are supporting the fight against Cancer.

Here at the Mission Hospice Society we are helping make a real difference to the families dealing with the loss of a loved one.

... when time matters most 32180 HILLCREST AVENUE, MISSION • 604-826-2235 8607585

We are the official charity for your hospital and health services.

Our vision is to improve health care in your community.

The simple act of giving can make the biggest difference.

Daffodil Month, held every April, gives Canadians the opportunity to make a difference. Join the Canadian Cancer Society in raising awareness and funds to help change — and save — lives.

Join in the fight

Taking action against all cancers The latest Canadian Cancer Statistics report found that of all newly diagnosed cancers in 2017, half are expected to be lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancers. Learn what you can do to reduce the burden of cancer.

The good news is we can do something about it.

About half of all cancers can be prevented and research continues to improve the outlook for people with cancer.

And we have made great progress over time. Because of investments in cancer control, including prevention, early detection and treatment, the overall cancer survival rate has increased from about 25% in the 1940s to 60% today.

THE

ACE 125 (Ageless Community Entrepreneurs 125) is a mentorship program in Mission that links young entrepreneurs with older, more experienced business people. The objective of ACE 125 is recognizing and supporting entrepreneurs regardless of their age.

Here’s an example of how it works.

CJ (we will call him) was 21 years old and working in a restaurant. His dynamic personality along with creative ideas were noticed by a local photographer/videographer. CJ had three years training in this specialized field. Now he has formed a partnership and runs a business called The Content Guys.

This business specializes in photography, videography, web building and social media.

CJ first discovered the ACE 125 program on the website (www.ace125.ca) and his desire to learn more about macro photography and learning the skills of sustainable business led him to join up with Lanka Jewels at the Junction Shopping Centre. A family owned and operated business for 39 years in Mission.

At Lanka Jewels CJ is being mentored

by Ken Selvaraja (owner). Here CJ will be taught customer relationships, customer retention, daily operations, supply chain, marketing and more.

If you think you have a skill that could be developed into a business or
