Publisher’s Note Welcome to the early spring issue!

What a great Christmas in Steveston Village. Santa arrived safely by boat and the winner of the best-decorated tree at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery was Steveston Insider’s snowman tree creation.

February starts out with a long weekend to mark Family Day. Celebrate Valentine’s Day with gifts of chocolate and other sweet treats available in the village. It’s the Year of the Ram. Chinese New Year begins February 19.

Steveston’s kids are counting down the days until their two-week March break arrives!

The Cannery Farmers Market, held every second Sunday inside the Gulf of Georgia Cannery, concludes its first season at the end of April. The Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market opening day is May 10.

As usual, we share stories about some of our favourite local business owners. On this month’s cover we feature Dr. Sean Graham and Danielle Aldcorn, owners of Satori Integrative Health Centre. Aldcorn is a long time Stevestonite. She has been working in the community since the age of 12 when she began volunteering at Steveston Community Centre. Read about their chosen careers and unique location in one of Steveston’s oldest heritage buildings.

Now in its eighteenth year, Frank Fernandez and Debby Chou are the proud owners of Steveston Coffee Company, the village’s original coffee shop. Did you know they roast their beans locally?

We encourage our readers to shop Steveston. Small businesses and services are the backbone of our economy. When they thrive we all reap the benefits. Go to Stevestoninsider.com for everything you need to know about Steveston shopping and events. Information is updated daily and includes an interactive map, business directory, profile pages, blogs, calendar, online magazine and social media pages.

It won’t be long until crocuses push up through barren gardens and days get longer. The first day of spring is almost here!

Satori Integrative Health Centre: A Historic and Modern Day Hub

by Sarah Gordon

photos by Sandra Steier

How many times have you passed by the quaint Satori Integrative Health Centre on No. 1 Road and yearned to know what lies inside the little white heritage house?

While the building may be small it is rich in history and over the last 100 years always served as a community hub. In 1912 it housed the Steveston Telephone Exchange. People would visit the communications centre to make and receive calls prior to telephones being installed in homes. For a short time it became a private residence; however, it was eventually converted and served for nearly 20 years as the United Fishermen’s and Allied Worker’s Union office. Bill Rigby was the union’s first secretary treasurer and welfare director and it is in his honour that the building is officially named.

8

Satori’s Co-Directors Danielle Aldcorn and Dr. Sean Graham are quick to point out these facts, as this was what initially attracted them to the space. One of the first things you will spot is a vintage telephone on display in the waiting room, along with framed information about the past life of this fascinating structure.

It always pleases them when people share stories from the past.

It all began in 2002 when they were hunting for a location to fulfil their dream of opening an integrative health centre. When they found the historic space for lease they immediately loved it and began renovating to create four treatment rooms from the previous open floor plan. Along with tasteful paint and décor choices, in February 2003 they opened for business.

February - March 2015

www.StevestonInsider.com

The married couple are honoured to be the stewards of the Bill Rigby Memorial House and to carry on the tradition of serving the community as a wellness hub.

she has come full circle working so close to her youthful stomping grounds.

They agree that some of the most satisfying aspects of their jobs include meeting new people and working to solve problems holistically. Another common thread is they are both eager to serve this community.

He is also the head chiropractor for the B.C. Lions football team. This partnership evolved from Dr. Graham’s former career as a professional CFL football player with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the B.C. Lions (he had the good fortune of winning the Grey Cup championship in 2000). While he always knew he wanted to go into the health care field, Dr. Graham credits his career to his years with the CFL where he learned the immediate benefit of holistic, hands on, rehabilitation therapies.

Ironically, without having discussed it together, they both came up with the business name Satori which means enlightenment in Japanese. Enlightenment is the light of truth and knowledge that frees the mind, body and spirit on the path to awareness. They thought this word was fitting both for the centre and also to honour Steveston’s Japanese fishing village roots.

Dr. Graham grew up in Richmond. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from UBC and graduated with his Doctorate of Chiropractic from the Southern California University of Health Sciences. He obtained fellowship status from the Royal Chiropractic College of Sport Sciences-Canada. He treats sports injuries, headaches, back, neck, joint, and chronic pain.

Aldcorn began her career as a social worker and eventually opened her private practice as a registered clinical counsellor.

Her work with children, youth and families includes issues such as anxiety, family conflict, social and behavioural concerns and autism. She facilitates communication, assertiveness, and self-awareness in clients to help them gain insight, solve problems, and cope with difficult situations.

With younger clients, Aldcorn uses a mixture of verbal and expressive therapies including games, art, journaling, music, stories, sand, and role-play.

Aldcorn is a long time Stevestonite. She has been working in the community since the age of 12 when she began volunteering at Steveston Community Centre. She says February - March 2015

As time marched on they introduced collaborative like-minded practitioners including Dr. Kristian Frantzen (chiropractor), Melissa LeBlanc (registered dietitian), Lily Zhu (registered acupuncturist), Hannah Beard, Shawn Mercer and Wesley Skakun (registered massage therapists), and Bob Aldcorn (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction instructor). They are a true family business with Danielle Aldcorn’s mother Brenda Aldcorn also helping out with reception.

The centre is the only one of its kind in Steveston to offer this unique combination of therapies.

In addition to chiropractic, Drs. Graham and Frantzen provide ART (Active Release Techniques for the upper and lower body) and orthotics.

If you are looking to reduce stress, enhance clarity and creative thinking, improve communication skills and cultivate leadership and teamwork, inquire about Satori’s Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction courses, workshops and retreats.

Percenter,” releases February 23, 2015 under the pen name D.R. Graham. She has also been a columnist with The Richmond News for over a decade. Dr. Graham is an active member of the Rotary Club of Steveston; he coaches Hugh Boyd Secondary’s varsity football team and he is currently working toward earning his private pilot’s license.

What sets Satori apart? It exudes a genuine homelike feeling; in fact it is so relaxing and peaceful that people have been known to fall asleep in the lobby.

Appointments can be made by phone or online and new clients are always welcome.

If 2015 is the year that you are looking for a chiropractor, counsellor, dietitian, acupuncturist, massage therapist, or Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction program drop by the little white house.

Over the years the couple have found the fine balance between work and free time. Aldcorn is a published author of many young adult and new adult novels. Her next book titled “One 10

Ask Sean: Is it Time to Downsize?

by Sean Lawson Recently I participated in a panel discussion on downsizing sponsored by RBC. We spoke to several groups consisting of financial planners, wealth managers, branch loans officers and managers and also at a public event attended by prospective downsizers.

"I was surprised to discover why most people have such a hard time with taking action on this decision and embarking on the next chapter of their lives…"

From a real estate/investment perspective, it’s a no brainer for the 65+ aged crowd. Having so much of your nest egg tied up in one asset is a risky proposition. Like a stock portfolio, you have to ask yourself: how would I feel if I woke up after a market correction and found my asset worth 20% less? On a typical West Richmond home, this is a $200,000 reduction in your net worth.

As a lifestyle decision, most 65+ aged homeowners are more than ready to make the move. After having renovated their single family home several times over the decades and finally seen the kids finish college and fly the coop, many have grown tired of frequent repairs and maintaining a large yard. Most downsizers look fondly to the prospect of a newer, simpler housing choice.

So why the reluctance? Amazingly, for many, it’s because of all their stuff! Years of possessions build up and tie homeowners to their existing space. The simple thought of having to deal with and sort through everything is too overwhelming to even contemplate a move! Thankfully there are now reasonably priced professional services 16

to help with this situation so you can get help if you’re delaying this important financial step because you’re overwhelmed. Simply starting with tackling one room at a time is a great idea. Start with the easiest room first to gain positive momentum and start this process early so as not to suffer the stress of an impending move date.

The current downsizing cohort has done very well with the investment in their home. As the Baby Boomers moved through their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s, they “moved up” their housing needs each decade and drove prices up along the way. Now aged between 50 to 65 years old, the Baby Boomers are on the verge of becoming downsizers themselves. Married couples without children at home make up the single largest component of families in Richmond according to 2011 Census Data. So what will happen to the prices of single family homes in suburbia? Will immigration pick up all the slack in demand for this housing type once the Baby Boomers have opted out?

I feel the next great investment will be in strata developments catering to these downsizers.

They are not looking for the average tiny two bedroom, two bathroom high rise unit with one parking spot located at or near a skytrain station. It’s been my experience that downsizers are looking for a strata unit with a unique community within walking distance (think Steveston, Edgemont, Granville Island, White Rock, etc.), larger rooms that actually fit their dining sets for family dinners, master bedrooms that accommodate a king sized bedroom set, walk-in closets, spa-inspired ensuites, views, etc.

I believe early adopters of these “special location” units will see fantastic price growth over the next few decades as the tide of Baby Boomers wash over this market, much like it did for suburban home prices in the past.

Steveston Coffee Company: It's All About The Bean

by Sarah Gordon photos by Sandra Steier Coffee is undeniably a large part of Steveston’s identity. It is difficult not to spot people strolling with a cup of joe in hand as they browse the village’s shops or take a walk along the dyke trails. The dark nectar helps get many Stevestonites days started and often wraps up evenings out.

For those who have recently moved to the area it may come as a surprise to learn that little Steveston Coffee Company was the original local coffee shop. Now in its eighteenth year, this independent business continues to carve out new territory. You can’t get more locally roasted beans than these. Their fair trade and organic coffee is roasted just up the road at their London Landing warehouse.

Husband and wife team Frank Fernandez and Debby Chou own the business. They credit 24

founder and former owner Steve Tarczali for sharing his valuable knowledge and years of experience with them.

Born in London, England, Fernandez moved to Steveston in the late 1980s. He first spotted the coffee shop from across the street when he was dining at Dave’s Fish and Chips. He was immediately sold on the coffee and became a regular.

In June 2013 Fernandez left his fast paced job as an insurance underwriter and Chou departed from her work in the corporate world to purchase Steveston Coffee Company and invest in their community.

Their two oldest children attend the same elementary school their father did (Manoah Steves) and enjoy living on the same street where he grew up.

The fact that Fernandez (head coffee roaster) and Chou (who manages the storefront) roast their own beans locally is what makes them unique.

“The most rewarding part of the business is meeting people who enjoy our coffee.

It is very satisfying to form friendships and introduce my family to our customers.”

Fernandez takes great pride in the beans and he will enthusiastically share tales of the beans’ origins, right down to the farms and farmers that grow them. This may sound mildly impressive until you discover that Steveston Coffee Company carries over 30 types of beans. That’s a lot of stories. He says, “It is like travelling the world” when you visit the coffee shop.

With a sip of java you can instantly be transported to Africa, Asia, Central America or South America. With this image in mind, the company logo features a two-masted topsail schooner symbolic of our waterfront community with a historic nod to the shipping of beans globally.

Fernandez’s love of coffee stems from the unique countries where the beans are grown.

February - March 2015

Since each coffee has a distinct pedigree, he says, “It reflects the passion of its homeland.”

He is proud that farmers are appreciated for their hard work when their beans are bought as specialty grade green coffee.

“To be honest, I don't have a favourite. I see coffee as a never-ending journey; each has its own unique characteristics.”

Are you looking to branch out and explore a new taste? Some of the high-end beans Fernandez recommends include Kenyan AA, Ethiopia Kaffa Forest, Guatemala Antigua Estate Coffees (they sell three Cup of Excellence winners from the regions of Santa Clara, Puerta Verde and San Augustin), Finca La Providencia, and Finca La Cabana Honey.

Have you ever tried Congolese coffee?

Commencing in February, Steveston Coffee Company will introduce one new coffee each month, starting with Congo. They also set the trend by introducing Cuban beans to Steveston village.

Last September the couple renovated the storefront to allow for an improved kitchen and food preparation area. They also took a look at the floor plan and improved the traffic flow by shifting the retail section.

Fernandez roasts beans and handles everything related to the coffee from marketing to ordering and logistics.

“I find it deeply satisfying to be able to offer a product without compromise. I am responsible from start to finish, from sourcing to roasting to delivering the coffee into our customers’ hands.”

On the front end you will find Chou who is responsible for staffing, ordering and assisting clients. The business has earned a reputation for being friendly and knowledgeable thanks to Chou and the dedicated staff.

Steveston Blend and Breakfast Blend) you will find a nice assortment of baked good that pair well with beverages. There have been menu updates including the introduction of some gluten-free and vegan options. One of Fernandez’s personal favourites is the glutenfree peanut butter chocolate bar. He enjoys the simple high quality ingredients and the delicious taste.

Running an independent business is time consuming; however, the couple makes a point of giving back to the community.

Fernandez is a coach and safety volunteer with Seafair Minor Hockey. Chou is actively involved with children’s charities. They whisk their children back and forth to hockey, soccer, baseball and school.

With the busy lives they lead it is fortuitous that Chou and Fernandez’s livelihood is fueled by one of Steveston’s most well loved beverages. Pay Steveston Coffee Company a visit - you are bound to receive a warm welcome and an exceptional cup of locally roasted coffee.

In addition to the large variety of coffee (including the shop’s very popular signature 26
