Inside Articles: Jet-Lag Travel Fashion Boutique Little Mexico Cantina
www.StevestonInsider.com
April - May 2015
Publisher’s Note Hello spring! How glorious this weather is. We are so fortunate to live on the coast at this time of the year with the cherry blossoms, daffodils, tulips and birds chirping. Happy people are out walking along the river, window shopping and sitting on patios enjoying the view. Every April we hear the crack of the bats as the Richmond City Baseball season starts. On the cover are Richmond Chuckers teammates, Justin Thorsteinson and Jonathan McGill, who are looking forward to the baseball season starting in mid-April. Spring break just came to an end and we begin April with a four day Easter long weekend. The Cannery Farmers' Market wraps up for the season on April 26 and we look forward to the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market’s opening day on May 10. Tour boats are in the water ready to whisk passengers off on exciting excursions to view sea lions, whales and other local marine life. Local filming of the popular ABC show Once Upon A Time wraps up season 4. The month of May includes the Victoria Day long weekend, Mother's Day, London Heritage Farm’s annual plant sale and the opening of the Steveston Outdoor Pool. Steveston Rotary is busy selling tickets for their must attend Grapes, Hops & Bites Festival at the

Gulf of Georgia Cannery. Much planning is going on for upcoming events such as Doors Open Richmond, the 25th annual Sockeye Run Car Show and Shine, Steveston Wine Festival, Ships to Shore and the 70th annual Steveston Salmon Festival. In this issue we feature two well-known Steveston businesses. Jet-Lag Travel Fashion Boutique is a unique store women travel far and wide to visit. It is a must stop for my mother when she visits me from Vancouver Island, and I have bought my fair share of hats, skirts, dresses and jackets there. They carry one of my favourite designers for casual comfort clothing, Neon Buddha. Little Mexico Cantina has been operating in Steveston for many years but has made some exciting changes under the new ownership of Carol Janeczko. The authentic regional Mexican dishes will make your taste buds dance. Take some time to go outdoors and admire the spring blooms, watch the birds, ride a bike, sip a coffee on an outdoor patio and shop the local stores that are brimming with new merchandise.

Interview with a Steveston Kid: Jus t in T hors teinson
Justin Thorsteinson just celebrated his 13th birthday. We interviewed him about his favourite sport, baseball. He currently plays on the Richmond Chuckers in 13U Peewee AAA division at first base and pitcher with jersey #33. Justin started playing T-Ball at 6 years old. What you love about baseball:
I love everything about the game - the hitting, pitching, fielding, the road trips and the atmosphere of playing in the nice weather of spring and summer. I also love it because I get to spend a lot of time with my teammates who have become some of my best friends. Greates t accomplishment to date:
Last summer in the 13U Peewee AAA Provincial Championships when I pitched in the semi-finals against Abbotsford where the game went extra innings in a hard fought battle. Highlight from las t year:
Being part of a very successful Peewee All Star team than went 12-1 during league play and made it into the Provincial championship tournament. Also the road trip to Gig Harbour in Washington where we made it to the finals against the West Hill Vipers – one of the top ranked teams in the state.
My dad who was my first coach in T-Ball and still coaches me to this day. He played baseball in Richmond for many years and was also part of a Provincial championship team in 1987 that went on to the Nationals in Quebec.
Justin Morneau who is the first baseman of the Colorado Rockies. I wear #33 because it's his number as well. He grew up in New Westminster and made it to the major leagues. I had the opportunity to meet him 3 years ago at Safeco Field in Seattle before a Mariners game and he was very nice to me. 6
He told me to work hard, have fun and enjoy each day I step on the field to play the game. I had an opportunity to meet him again this spring break when my family and I were in Arizona for the MLB spring training. My dad arranged an afternoon with him where he gave us a tour of the field and I was bat boy for one of the games. What baseball has taught you:
Baseball has taught me how to be a good teammate and support each other whether you win or lose. It has also taught me patience and how to be a leader. In baseball and other sports, you have to work hard and practice a lot to improve every day. Goals for t his season:
Who inspired you to play baseball:
Favourite player:
Pictured above: Justin Thorsteinson with Colorado Rockies first baseman, Justin Morneau.
The main goal for our team is to get back to the Peewee AAA Provincial Championship in August. A few other goals are to pitch a “no hitter” during a regular season game, hit a few home runs and to give our team the best chance of winning every time we step on the field. I also want to tryout and make the 13U BC select team this summer. Goals for t he fut ure:
In a few years I would like to represent my country and make the Canadian National Team and in 5 years I'm hoping I will be good enough to be drafted by a major league team.

Jet-Lag Travel Fashion Boutique: Where Fashion and Fitness Meet Story by Sarah Gordon
Photos by Sandra Steier
Jet-Lag Travel Fashion Boutique is a goldmine for women’s clothing, whether you are wanting to get out of town or have no plans to be anywhere but sunny Steveston. Vicki Hodgson is celebrating her tenth year as the second owner of Jet-Lag, which opened in 1980. Longtime Steveston residents may recall the Second Avenue boutique was formerly located on Moncton Street. The fashion boutique originally had more of a travel wear focus. Hodgson decided to introduce everyday fashion to the store, as she realized the demographic of women ages 40 plus is sorely neglected at many clothing stores. Hodgson is a long term Richmond resident and always enjoyed visiting Steveston village. Before owning Jet-Lag she enjoyed a fast paced career as a general manager of a group of retail businesses. The time came when she felt ready for a lifestyle change. Hodgson had 8
been a Jet-Lag customer, and when she heard the business was for sale she decided it was the perfect fit.
People travel from far and wide to shop at the boutique. Many head straight for a cup of complimentary herbal tea and then begin their shopping adventure as they browse the clothing racks. Hodgson focuses on carrying a wide range of Canadian made or designed clothing. She estimates that 75 percent of her stock falls into this category, which not only ensures quality but also leaves shoppers feeling good about supporting our economy.

Joseph Ribkoff creates beautiful dresses and sportswear which draws people to the store. All of this Canadian company’s clothing is designed, sewn and produced in Dorval, Quebec, which is a remarkable feat in today's fashion world. Other respected Canadian lines include French Dressing Jeans (FDJ) which features a variety of pants, jeans, capris, skirts, tops and jackets. For every pair of jeans sold, FDJ donates a portion of the sale to national, regional and local breast cancer organizations throughout North America.
Hodgson is committed to supporting companies with integrity. Ontario based Neon Buddha donates one percent of all sales to various projects to make the world a better place. In addition, the clothes are constructed from 100 percent pre-shrunk cotton and are a wonderful choice for West Coast lifestyles with a focus on travel, home, work and yoga. Montreal based company Libra is known for its bold and exciting prints with an emphasis on unique styling and playful versatility. Hodgson says, “Ontario made EZZE Wear is a huge line for the store.” Customers are drawn to the colourful range of cottons for both summer and travel wear. If you are a fan of eco-friendly hemp and bamboo clothing, check out Efforts Hempwear. Jet-Lag also carries popular clothing lines Columbia, Lewis & Clark and Woolrich. Beyond clothing, Hodgson stocks a wide variety of travel items to make life easier when you fly off or set sail on vacation. Locks, adapters, converters, travel scales, bag tags, neck pillows, flight socks and even fast drying underwear can all be found here. While by day the store is a busy fashion hub, in the evening it often transforms into a minicommunity centre of sorts. Hodgson creatively makes use of the retail space by hosting, in conjunction with travel agent Christine Boecker, the Girls Going Global Travel Club for talks and slide shows, April - May 2015
dinners, packing and fashion demonstrations, fundraisers and other special events. Speakers discuss travel related opportunities or topics specifically relevant to women.
Jet-Lag is the first clothing store I am aware that offers pilates and yoga classes. The space is perfectly suited for this purpose. Hodgson slides aside clothing racks, and voilà, there is an incredible amount of floor space. Twice a week classes are held, with Hodgson working out alongside fellow fitness enthusiasts. Commenting on this unique concept she says, “I thought it would be cool to offer classes to customers tailored to their needs.”

The fitness classes are well suited for women ages 40 and older. Hodgson says there are women in their 80s actively participating. Weights and bands are used to target the common complaint areas (think tummies and under arm “wings”) that Hodgson and her long time staff Maxine Barclay and Pat Lee hear women lament as they try on clothes.
job and likes to give back to the community. “I have met a wonderful network of women through this store,” Hodgson says with a smile. And what can be more rewarding than coming to work where she can have a cup of tea with friends while they try on clothes, and engage in friendly conversation and laughter?
Hodgson says, “Fitness marries well with the business. It combines the whole concept. When you travel you can do much more when you are in shape.” She offers these additional services to her clients because she loves her

The Market is Hot!
The upcoming spring market is poised to be a busy one indeed. 2014 boasted a more robust real estate market than previous years. Strong sales through the traditionally slower summer months along with an exceptionally active fall market left us with a low inventory heading into 2015. With the first two months of 2015 already behind us, data from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reveals January and February saw home sale activity above historical norms, while the number of homes listed for sale trended below typical levels. This indicates too many purchasers pursuing too few homes for sale and creates ideal conditions in which to list your property; the first five homes I listed this year sold in one week. I would love the opportunity to prepare a Comparative Market Analysis for your property and to discuss the process with you.

Little Mexico Cantina:
Regional Mexican Food at Home in Steveston Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier Hola! Steveston’s Little Mexico Cantina has a new owner and changes to the established business have been dramatic. Carol Janeczko purchased the restaurant last July and has been busy reinventing the
space to make it her own. This Manitoba born business owner is a fireball of energy. Along with Chef Roberto Lopez Lara, she has reworked the entire menu, and they are in the process of giving the restaurant’s interior a major facelift. Last Christmas the pair installed a stone wall. They have been asked many times whom they hired and they proudly report they did it themselves. When Janeczko was a child she watched and learnt skills from her father. She says, “I stole with my eyes, watching my father work. There is nothing women can’t do.” She is full of surprises, and reveals that in addition to her renovation skills, one of her favourite hobbies is deep-sea fishing in Haida Gwaii.

The décor has also changed. Black and white photographs, sundials and authentic charro hats are all tastefully displayed. A countertop constructed from salvaged Cypress wood will be installed to create new bar side seating.
Passion for her new found career is right on the surface. Janeczko says, “I had always wanted to operate a restaurant. I have more yesterdays than tomorrows. This is a dream come true.” Janeczko confesses that the hours are long, however, she adds, “My worst day here beats any best day at my past jobs. This is a labour of love.” There is no question she loves her work. Janeczko is at the restaurant seven days a week, and she is making the most of it by experiencing all aspects of the business. She serves, bartends, washes dishes, sweeps floors, and line cooks alongside Chef Roberto. They even shop together to source

out the freshest ingredients. Back home in Manitoba, when she was raising her own family, Janeczko boarded a number of international students and became fascinated with other parts of the world. Subsequently, she travelled extensively through central and coastal Mexico, and feels such a strong kinship to the country that she refers to herself as an honourary Mexican. Chef Roberto concurs with a smile. He comes from Mexico’s Tamaulipas state, located on the Gulf of Mexico (bordering the state of Texas). Ironically, there is a Polish population in this area, mirroring Janeczko’s family heritage, and this deepens her connection to this particular region.
The menu is like a road map to regional Mexican cuisine. Dishes have been chosen to expose diners to “a little taste of what Mexicans really eat,” says Chef Roberto.

The goal is to make the dining experience as authentic as possible. You will not find Mexi-fries or hard-shell tacos at Little Mexico Cantina. What you will find is soft corn tortillas, meat that has been braised for 8 hours (no short cuts are taken), grass-fed beef from a local farm, chorizo made by Chef Roberto from his grandfather’s recipe, housemade seasonings and fresh salsa made daily. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are all available.
A tasty and well-rounded taco menu tempts guests to experience what Chef Roberto calls “the people’s food.” Order a few, they are very reasonably priced ($4 to $5). The tastes and spices will dance in your mouth.

A seaside treat is the Ensenada Style Fish Taco featuring grilled red snapper with house seasoning. It is topped with guacamole sauce and a mix of shredded white and purple cabbage. The Beef Barbacoa Taco is another crowd pleaser. It features slowly braised beef topped with diced onions, chopped cilantro and is served with lime and chile de arbol sauce. In addition to the taco menu, you will find a number of chef’s specials to tempt your taste buds and a variety of Mezcal and Tequila to pair with your meal. Chef Roberto points out that contrary to popular belief, these drinks should not be knocked back in one gulp; in

fact they should be sipped. “Kiss the glass,� he says. One of the signs of a popular restaurant is a line up, and Janeczko says this has been known to happen. She reports people of all ages have discovered the dining spot, from families to high school students, all have been enjoying Little Mexico Cantina.
Mexico Cantina. Short of the sand and the sun, you will feel like you have escaped to paradise. You can even test your Spanish; a few of the staff are Spanish speaking and would be happy to engage. Like Janeczko, you too may leave feeling a strong pull south.
