October - November 2015
Publisher’s Note Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year as I look forward to a number of fun local events including the Steveston Scarecrow Crawl and Trick-or-Treat in Steveston Village. I am happy to announce the return of the Steveston Insider Costume Contest. Other community events include Oktoberfest at the Steveston Community Centre, the Cannery Farmers' Market (October to April), selfguided mystery tours at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and Historical Halloween Adventure at Britannia Shipyards. Before long November will be here and it will time to start planning for the holiday season. The popular Steveston Christmas Craft Fair takes place at the end of November along with the Steveston Merchants Association’s Girls’ Night Out and Christmas in Steveston Village. The Crazy Roll, Mr. Big Roll, Monster Bite, Caterpillar Roll and 911 are the names of some of Ora Sushi’s delicious signature rolls. Read about June Shim, the charming owner/chef behind this new Japanese grill on Moncton Street.
"Oncers" will be coming to Steveston October 1-5 for an organized fan event. I faithfully watch the hit ABC television show Once Upon A Time, and was curious to hear how the filming has impacted the business community. Read interviews with some of the local merchants and Tourism Richmond. Sean Lawson gives an update on new developments planned for Steveston and how they will help round out the shopping experience while keeping the Village core intact. Steveston Insider is heading into its 9th year of publication. I am thankful to photographer Sandra Steier and writer/editor Sarah Gordon for their continued excellent work throughout the years. Thank you also to the community and advertisers for their loyal support. I wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving and a fun-filled Halloween!

The Fairy Tale Continues:
Once Upon A Time Returns for its Fifth Season Story by Sarah Gordon
Photos by Clayton Perry
It was 2011 when Emma Swan, sporting a red leather jacket, first rolled into Storybrooke in a yellow Volkswagen Beetle with a mysterious little boy named Henry. While Stevestonites are familiar with filming in the village, nobody could predict the magnitude Once Upon a Time would have on Steveston Village; it has been one of television’s highest rated shows for the last four years.
sees out of town visitors who have discovered Steveston purely because of the program.
The fifth season has now begun and the show is increasing in popularity. This past summer large crowds of fans came out to watch filming take place, hopeful for a glimpse of their favourite actors.
“Once Upon a Time has become a draw to Steveston, attracting visitors that we have never seen before. It’s like Jack and the Beanstalk, the bean has been planted.”
Curious to hear how Once Upon a Time has impacted our community; I spoke to some Steveston merchants and Tourism Richmond for their impressions. Kelly Krull is the manager of Splash Toy Shop and is a big fan of the show. Located in the heart of Storybrooke, Splash becomes Neighbor’s Five & Dime. She says, “Once Upon a Time has brought magic to Steveston.” On a daily basis she

“The energy fans bring makes the village shine,” she says. People of all ages make the trip here in hope of catching a filming day, and if not, they are excited to stop and pose for photos in front of the landmark Storybrooke buildings they know so well.
Kelly Krull The cast and crew are extremely supportive of local businesses and will come in to look around and shop on their breaks. She reports Splash recently had a visit en masse from Captain Hook, Prince Charming, Snow White and the Evil Queen. She says Henry is also a regular customer.

David Gordon’s business Pieces transforms into Purbeck Shoes. He says, “The village is still very much Steveston.” Like other merchants, he makes a point of acting as an ambassador as he directs people to local sights, from Garry Point Park to the fishing docks, museums, and the array of local restaurants, shops and services.
Fans include Metro Vancouver residents who enjoy watching the show being filmed and then seeing it transform through the magic of Hollywood onto their television screen. Americans, in particular Seattle residents, and a fair number of international fans make the trip out to Steveston purely to experience the magic of walking the streets of Storybrooke.
He points out the show has brought a whole new group of tourists to the area. “There are countless stories of out of town visitors, particularly from the United States, who are coming to see where the show is filmed.”
Gordon says, “One couple from Israel arranged an eight hour layover through the Vancouver airport just so they could come and see Storybrooke.”
“Fans have reported how enchanted they are with the village, and note that they would never have come here if it were not for the show. They often have an assortment of purchases from different shops in their hands, and inevitably ask where is a good place to have lunch or dinner. It is not unusual to see fans return two or three days in a row. “ David Gordon October - November2015
The Kollakis family, owners of the Steveston Cannery Cafe, report they have had people come into the restaurant expecting the interior to be identical to “Granny’s Diner” and they have to explain that filming takes place on a set in a studio. Trevor Kollakis says, “Fans like to come in and have lunch, and say they have eaten at Granny’s. We have definitely seen an increase of customers. We have been surprised with how many people have been visiting from Mexico." Nick Cohen, owner of Romania Country Bread says, "Everyone asks why I keep the sign “Storybrooke Country Bread” up all the time. It is very convenient that they have

me representing a bakery in the show, and my business is a bakery. Also it brings good business to me.” "The television show is an event that brings action to the village, when they are here filming and afterwards with the fans.” Joe and Sara Cocker’s business, Nikaido, masquerades as Standard Clocks. Joe Cocker chuckles when he reports, "We have a good laugh when people come into our shop wanting to buy the clocks in the window, or asking us to change their watch battery. We had one customer who was absolutely insistent we sell him a clock in the window, and could not understand why we would have items that were not for sale." They have seen a huge increase in customer traffic since the show began, with clients also making unusual requests for items seen in the show like chipped teacups. Sara Cocker reveals, "Our favourite is when we have been travelling outside of Canada, and explaining to someone where we are from. There have been several occasions when we make the connection of Once Upon a Time being filmed in Steveston, and then 8
great excitement ensues with many questions asked of us."
Vince Morlet, owner of Tapenade Bistro and vice president of the Steveston Merchants Association says, "I have spoken to a number of cast members who are very complementary of Steveston, and remark on how welcoming the village has been to them." He recalls his favourite filming story from season four when a scene was filmed inside his restaurant. No alterations were made to Tapenade’s interior other than changing the tablecloths. “After the program aired, we had all kinds of buzz on social media, particularly from the United States. I had many telephone calls asking about us, and in turn many fans coming and dining, taking pictures showing that we were not a film set, but the actual restaurant they saw in the show ... minus the name Tony's Diner. It makes me laugh, some have asked if we would consider changing our name."

Tourism Richmond has operated the Visitor Centre out of the Steveston Museum and post office building for the last three years. During filming it becomes the Storybrooke Post Office. Visitor Services Manager Lori Gelz says, “In that time we have witnessed the tourism related to Once Upon a Time increase substantially from small groups in the first season to now hundreds of people who not only come for filming days but plan their entire vacation around visiting "Storybrooke" and Steveston.”
“Because they love the quaint charm of the village, the easy public transit and beautiful scenery, we are now seeing visitors returning for a second or third time in the hopes to see filming and spotting the actors.” Lori Gelz Early in 2015 Once Upon a Time broadcast a special pre-show segment entitled "Secrets of Storybrooke.” Steveston was in the spotlight as the writers discussed why they chose this location for Storybrooke.
October - November2015
She says, “Within days of this airing, we had people showing up in Steveston who had driven from Oregon when they learned how close we were to them.” In 2014 just over 20 percent of the groups that came into the Visitor Centre stated Once Upon a Time was the main reason for their visit to the village. In 2015, specifically this past summer, the percentage skyrocketed to just over 50 percent. Visitors from Washington State and California make up a large portion of Steveston’s American visitors, however, there has been a big increase in people from all of the eastern and southern United States including Alabama, Arkansas, North and South Carolina, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Texas and Tennessee.
“Once Upon a Time is hugely popular in Australia, Brazil, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (to name a few) and is finding a new audience all the time as more people discover the show and start watching it on Netflix.” Lori Gelz
www.StevestonInsider.com

Like other neighbouring businesses, the Visitor Centre staff hears many good stories. A mother and daughter stayed at the Steveston Hotel for more than a week, tried different restaurants in the village each night, shopped in the stores, so much so the merchants got to know them by name. The mother even got a Once Upon a Time themed tattoo. Gelz is optimistic that Once Upon a Time will leave a bright and long term legacy.
10
“I see large groups of fans meeting in Steveston, spending many days in the area, and spending their money throughout the village and also planning future trips. Who doesn't want more customers and more business? This show and the long-term tourism will carry on long after the show ends. We still see fans who are huge movie and TV buffs who have gone to Hope to see where Rambo First Blood was filmed and that was 30 years ago!�

Gentlemen, your wives have raised the barbell, it’s time for you to step up to it! Join us under the barbell’s at RSF to pack on some muscle mass and improve that testosterone count. Lifting up heavy objects (and putting them back down again) has been proven to: - Increase lean body mass - Decrease body fat percentage - Improve athletic performance - Decrease chronic pain - Improve cardiovascular function - Increase testosterone production and sex drive - Look better tanning at Garry Point Park If all that sounds good to you, try including the DEADLIFT in your next workout program. We believe that the deadlift is unmatched when it comes to achieving the above goals, as: - It improves entire “posterior chain” function, which is paramount when it comes to running, jumping, skating and essentially all other athletic movements. - It teaches you how to safely lift things (like your kids) in your everyday life. - When executed properly it improves core function by forcing you to stabilize your spine under heavy loads. - It recruits more muscle mass than virtually any other exercise, packing on muscle and melting off body fat. - It is undoubtedly the cornerstone of any complete program. Visit www.russelseanfitness.com to view a video on how to clean up deadlifting technique as well as to learn more about many other types of lifts.

Ora Sushi Japanese Grill: Quality Sushi Made With Love Story by Sarah Gordon
Photos by Sandra Steier
Ora is the Korean word for “come again, or welcome� and it is the perfect name for this new Moncton Street restaurant. Ora Sushi owner June Shim personifies the business name with her welcoming and gracious manner.
After an extensive floor to ceiling renovation Ora Sushi opened in early August and the response has been tremendous.
Shim is no stranger to restaurant ownership. Customers who were familiar with her former business, Kimchi Nara Korean BBQ, are delighted to discover she has embarked on a new venture. She operated Kimchi Nara Korean BBQ in downtown Richmond for 10 years. Subsequently, she worked as a manager of a local sushi restaurant for three years and then decided it was time to return to her favourite place, the kitchen, and run her own business. Past clients are delighted that she has opened a new restaurant. Ora Sushi has also established a new and enthusiastic clientele who are discovering why her cooking has earned such an excellent reputation. Her passion for food and her culinary talent stems from having grown up in the food industry. She reveals her mother is also an amazing cook and her parents owned a restaurant in Korea. Shim loves to garden and grows many different kinds of Korean herbs and vegetables in her backyard.
26
October - November 2015
www.StevestonInsider.com
She feels extremely happy when she cooks and derives joy from meeting customers. Regarding owning her business she says, “It is a much more satisfying personal stake.”
Locals and visitors alike are discovering Ora Sushi’s tasty and artfully presented dishes. This new enterprise is a detour from her former Korean BBQ as sushi takes the spotlight on the menu. All of the sauces are made in house. Quality is of utmost importance to her. She insists on using only wild caught Pacific salmon and red tuna and she begins each day by visiting local vegetable markets to select produce. The Nori (seaweed) is premium quality without the use of coatings or artificial preservatives. Ora Sushi uses premium Japanese sushi rice, low sodium soya sauce, and natural ginger. Some gluten free dishes are offered. In addition to a focus on health conscious food, Ora Sushi strives to provide a friendly, welcoming, personal dining experience.
She says, “I am always thinking about cooking and the presentation of food.”
The extensive menu offers a large selection of appetizers such as Chicken Yakatori, Grilled Mussels, “Monkey Brain” (deep fried avocado with crab meat), Oyster Motoyaki (grilled oysters with veggies, mayo and cheese) and Ebi Gyoza.
Presentation is most certainly a huge part of the Ora Sushi experience. All selections are artfully arranged on Villeroy and Boch German porcelain and on unique Japanese serving plates.
The menu features a few favourites from her past business such as Bibimbap, Kalbi BBQ beef and Udon. Maki sushi, sashimi, nigiri sushi and noodle dishes round out the extensive menu. Bento boxes and set lunches and dinners are also featured.
Fun names for some of the signature special rolls include the Crazy Roll, Mr. Big Roll, Monster Bite and 911. Speaking of the Crazy Roll, it is crazy good. I have not been able to stop thinking about this delicious, crispy, warm signature California roll with its three sauces.
Shim and her husband, local RE/MAX realtor Kevin McDowell, met in Korea in 1992 and have lived in Richmond since 1997. They have two grown children, one is finishing high school, and the other is attending university. Both their son and daughter work at the business part-time.
Another highly recommended specialty, the Golden Roll, is cooked in a cast iron pan and is comprised of avocado, cucumber, imitation crab, baked salmon and tobiko with cheese on top. If you are a sushi novice the Caterpillar Roll as a good place to begin. It contains asparagus, imitation crab, avocado, and cucumber with sliced avocado. October - November2015

Although fully immersed in her new business she still finds time to be actively involved with the two churches her family attends. The family belongs to the Korean Jireh Presbyterian Church in Vancouver and also Trinity Lutheran Church in Richmond. She regularly donates her time to the Korean fellowship committee that provides hot lunches on a weekly basis. She says, “Food is a part of my life and I like making people happy.�

Non-Stop Sales Lead up to a Highly Anticipated Fall Housing Market
Unsurprisingly, no summer lull was experienced in the market this year; sales in August were 27.9 per cent above the 10-year sales average for the month. While sale are high, the total number of properties currently listed for sale on the region’s MLS® is 26.2 per cent less than August 2014. Strong home buyer demand coupled with below average home listing activity has created Seller’s market conditions within the Metro Vancouver housing market, and Richmond is no exception. If you’re a prospective buyer, this means competition is fierce and without a sound buying strategy, you’ll find yourself on the losing end of multiple offer situations or coming across your dream home only after it’s been snatched up by someone else. I always have my ear to the ground and can help prospective buyers navigate these tough conditions. Sellers, if you’ve been thinking about listing your property for sale, don’t delay. These conditions create ideal circumstances in which to sell your home and I’d love the opportunity to prepare a Comparative Market Analysis for your property and discuss the process with you.

The Cat is out of the Bag! Pending Redevelopment Proposals Will Reshape Steveston Village Story by Sean Lawson
Photos by Sandra Steier
It’s now official: there is a pending redevelopment process underway for the Rod’s Building Supply site, located at the corner of Moncton Street and Third Avenue. The proposal envisions a mixed-use development with retail on the ground floor and residential above, consistent with the City’s Steveston Area Plan. The retail includes plans for a “name brand” full service grocery store. The developer, Kyle Shury of Platform Properties, is a “born and raised Richmond lad” and a long-time Steveston resident. After working with Townline Homes for thirteen years, Shury ventured out on his own six years ago and Platform Properties now has projects scattered throughout the Lower Mainland and B.C.
Platform Properties’ vision, along with the planned extensive renovation of the Steveston Hotel (now under new ownership and management) and the new construction on the old G&F Financial site, will kick start the revitalization of the northwest section of Steveston Village’s core. 38
On the heels of these developments is the Steveston Marine & Hardware site on Moncton Street, which currently has a pending deal in play. These developments will help round out the shopping experience while keeping the Village core intact. These big moves are not the only plans in the works for our Village; there are currently talks going on at City Hall, spearheaded by Councillor Harold Steves’ stated desire to expedite and make a reality of a much needed pleasure craft marina in Steveston Harbour. The current Mixed Maritime Use (MMU) zoning on Onni’s Bayview site directly in front of this marina will also be in demand when these marina plans are solidified. Steveston Marine & Hardware is already interested in leasing up to 6,000 square feet of the Bayview site, and other maritime related businesses are sure to follow. Yet for the past two years
October - November 2015
www.StevestonInsider.com
Onni has been embroiled in a proposed zoning change asking for 100 percent retail use for the site which would see these great opportunities dashed. The Steveston Merchants Association (SMA) had put forward a measured proposal that called for approximately one-third office space, one-third MMU and one-third retail use for the empty Bayview site. As discussed in my last opinion piece for Steveston Insider, such a zoning mix would allow for the traditional shopping experience of Steveston Village to remain in place (without dragging retail uses eastward away from the Village core and into a residential area), as well as satisfy Onni’s desire to obtain a higher valued use for its land. Despite what I believe to have been both public and City support for the SMA proposal, Onni did not accept these ideas and again pushed forward for 100 percent retail use of the Bayview site. Two years have passed and the facts have changed; with the aforementioned significant redevelopment of the northwest Village (including a grocery anchor and more retail space underway), the possibility of a pleasure craft marina and the eventual need to relocate Steveston Marine & Hardware, the demand and appropriateness of the Maritime Mixed Use zoning on the Bayview site needs to be acknowledged. The marina and development sites discussed in this article will go through extensive planning and public process prior to any concrete being poured. All residents and business owners will have plenty of opportunity to have input and there will be well-advertised public information meetings coming soon.
October - November2015
I feel the recommendation from the SMA with respect to the amount of MMU space at the Bayview site needs to be revisited. There is now a strong case to be made for retaining even more MMU space than previously recommended. It should be noted too that there are uses other than retail that should be considered for any change from MMU at the Bayview site.
A public library, a cultural museum, a fitness facility (public or private), a seniors' centre or daycare are just a few that would be welcome additions to the community by residents and businesses alike. Further, any “voluntary contributions” or “cash payments” made by Onni to the City with respect to any rezoning of the Bayview site should be earmarked for use in Steveston only. These funds could be used to help provide additional parking, renovate or rebuild our community centre, help fund our fledgling Business Improvement Area association, etc. It is Steveston residents and businesses that must live with the consequences of this latein-the-game zoning change Onni is after. I believe it’s a slippery slope to let a developer build out their project, let it sit vacant while demanding the highest valued use, and then grant their wishes after such practices.

Steveston Village: The Place to be This Fall Story by Sarah Gordon
Now that summer is a sun-filled memory it is time to turn our attention to one of the loveliest times of the year, autumn, and all of the fabulous fun-filled events Steveston Village offers. The Steveston Merchants Association (SMA) is a key player in organizing many of the community’s eagerly anticipated celebrations. The SMA’s signature events (Steveston Scarecrow Crawl, Trick-or-Treat in Steveston Village, Girls’ Night Out and Christmas in Steveston Village) are designed to get local residents out strolling the streets and exploring local businesses.
Steveston Scarecrow Crawl
Now in its sixth year, the Steveston Scarecrow Crawl has become one of the community’s well-loved attractions. During the month of October cleverly themed scarecrows lurk in doorways and peek out of store windows. These delightful handcrafted guardians often
44
reflect the personality of the shop to which they belong. Many of them are not garden variety scarecrows – in fact, you never know quite what you will spot – whether it is a giant slug, a couture ‘crow, nautical or fairy tale characters (we are after all “Storybrooke”). Bring your camera, pose with your new friends, and step inside the businesses to visit the talented merchants responsible for creating these mascots.
