April - May 2016

Welcome to the spring issue!

Spring break and the Easter long weekend are now behind us. Many winter sports have concluded and the spring season is starting.

With the warmer weather comes marathon training, tuning up the bike, getting the garden back in shape, planning graduation and gearing up for summer vacations.

The Cannery Farmers’ Market season finishes on April 17. The Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market opens on May 8 and will have a new location at the Steveston Community Centre parking lot. Local filming of the popular ABC show Once Upon A Time wraps up season 5 and has officially been renewed for Season 6.

Upcoming special spring days include Earth Day, Mother’s Day, and London Heritage Farm’s annual plant sale.

Steveston Rotary is busy planning their 15th annual Grapes, Hops & Bites Festival at the Gulf of Georgia Cannery on May 13.

All proceeds go to the Rotary’s community projects.

Much anticipated events are in the works such as Doors Open Richmond, the 26th annual Sockeye Run Car Show and Shine, Steveston Wine Fest, Bullhead Derby, Ships to Shore and the 71st annual Steveston Salmon Festival.

We love promoting local businesses and many of you ask me what is happening with them.

We are adding a new feature giving updates on new and changing businesses.

Our business feature this month highlights Elly Fenton, the warm and amiable owner of Robel Income Tax Service who has been serving the community for over 24 years.

On the cover we feature Jacqui Turner, a beautiful woman full of life and laughter. Read about her impressive and dedicated history of volunteering for many of Steveston's nonprofit organizations and other worthwhile causes.

Enjoy spring; we’ve earned it after a very wet winter!

Jacqui Turner:

Leaving Her Mark on Our Community Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos by Sandra Steier

Jacqui Turner is not one to sit back and wait for something to happen; when she sees something that needs tending to she dives right in. In fact, this vivacious Stevestonite has spent her entire life volunteering and has left some impressive legacies along the way.

Turner was born in the town of Sale, south of Manchester, England, during the Second World War. Following the war, at age 10, she became an active volunteer when she realized some women in her community were too nervous to leave their homes and required assistance with their shopping. As a teenager her volunteer work escalated when she and a friend founded a soccer team called the Lincoln Lads to help keep local boys out of trouble. With a smile she mentions the team still exists today.

Turner says, “I’ve always been a volunteer.”

While her full name is Jacqueline, she has gone by Jacqui since she was 13 years old when she decided she wanted to be different.

Turner calls herself a bit of a trendsetter. Her past careers include working as an interior decorator and as a fashion buyer. Both of these jobs required her to be an imaginative forward thinker. These skills transferred nicely to her volunteer work, which has often involved startup projects requiring a visionary leader to get them off the ground.

When Turner, her husband Tony and their two young children arrived in Richmond in 1978 she saw a need for lunch hour parent supervisors at her children’s elementary school. She organized a group of mothers to volunteer and fill this void, which was the a new concept in Richmond. She reports several years later people were hired to fill this role.

Moving on to other projects, she supported the movement for Richmond to have its own theatre facility, and joined the fundraising 6

committee to build Gateway Theatre. She was proud to see the dream realized when the curtain raised in 1984.

The saying goes if you want something done, ask a busy person. Turner always rises to the challenge.

The Turners have operated their home-based businesses (A. Turner Sales and A. J. S. Turner Property Inc.) for many years. In the 1990s they were aware numerous Steveston village businesses and some homes were being broken into.

Turner says, “There was a ‘Fagin’ who was sending boys out to do break-ins.” People were complaining and Turner took action. She contacted a police constable and circulated a petition that she presented to city council.

She wasn’t sure what the outcome would be but she knew she wanted a community police station opened, which would be the first of its kind in Richmond. Turner says, “I was doing it for the people.” Within a short time Steveston had its own community police station.

Not only is Turner a superstar volunteer, she has shared her time simultaneously with a number of Steveston’s not-forprofit groups over the years.

The Steveston Museum Society benefited from 20 years of her volunteer service. She also contributed 30 years of volunteer time to the Steveston Community Society and is most proud of the opening of the indoor tennis courts and the children’s water park.

Turner volunteered with Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society for 25 years and also was involved with the London Heritage Farm Society for five years as the chair and two

April - May 2016

www.StevestonInsider.com

additional years as the treasurer. She was exceptionally proud of the volunteers who worked in the tearoom and all of the people power that went into running the Christmas craft sale and the annual family farm day.

What is her most fulfilling volunteer accomplishment? Without hesitation Turner says it was the work she and a group of approximately 25 advisory members (who called themselves the Community Building Consensus) accomplished making the Bayview Street waterfront boardwalk become reality.

Prior to construction of the boardwalk she reports it was common to see rats, feral cats and seedy elements in the area. She mentions that the artifacts and design concept were in place prior to the Onni Group purchasing the site. She is proud of the boardwalk beautification thanks to the community’s efforts and is grateful Onni built it as directed.

Although it seems like there are not enough hours in the day for the sheer volume of volunteer work she has accomplished, Turner mentions she has always treated her April - May 2016

volunteerism like a nine to five job. She had dinner on the table every night. She laughs when she admits if she was the chair of a board she made it work around her schedule.

She was careful to not let her philanthropic work interrupt her business or home life.

In addition to giving back to Steveston, Turner supports a variety of charities including Vancouver’s Turning Point Recovery Society, Union Gospel Mission and Covenant House. She says, “The young are our future. I like to see people who have gone down come back up.”

When asked what she most loves about our community she mentions the scenic beauty, her favourite restaurant haunt (Blue Canoe) and walking down the street and running into people she knows.

If she could choose only one thing that defines what makes Steveston special the answer comes easily, “It’s the people that make Steveston.” Undoubtedly it’s special people like Turner who have contributed to the best of what Steveston has to offer.

Robel Income Tax Service:

A Worry-Free Approach to a Taxing Task Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos by Sandra Steier

Elly Fenton is the warm and amiable owner of Robel Income Tax Service. We sat down to talk on the first day the Robel office resumed regular hours of operation to begin processing 2015 personal tax forms. While many people would appear under pressure with volumes of work looming, she was relaxed and ready to face the work with gusto.

She began her career as a nurse in Australia and specialized in infant care. When she moved to Vancouver in 1974 she shifted to working at daycare centres and also focussed her attention on raising her two daughters.

Her soft Australian accent has been diluted by her years spent in Canada but Fenton’s Aussie humour shines through.

When her husband passed away she took an H&R Block taxation preparation course.

Subsequently, she worked with Richmond Savings Credit Union (known today as Coast Capital Savings).

Fenton became a tax practitioner in 1993 and started Robel Income Tax Service. In February 14

2013 she moved her home-based business to its present Chatham Street storefront.

She says this was a very wise decision as her business has benefited greatly from being in the heart of Steveston village.

From mid-February through to early May the small office is kept hopping. Fenton and her four staff members (two preparers, one checker and receptionist) can be found working long days as they process an impressive number of returns that require filing by the April 30 deadline. Last year Robel completed 1,752 income tax returns with similar numbers expected this year.

Fenton gives accolades to her hard working staff.

She says, “It’s a team effort to get through it all from beginning to end.”

The secret to a successful business is a loyal and established client base. She is proud to report that Robel serves over 1,500 clients and 148 of those individuals have been with her since she began the business. While many of her clients are locals, she also serves a number of long standing customers from

April - May 2016

www.StevestonInsider.com

Surrey, Harrison, Courtenay and Comox via email, fax and mail.

While the whirlwind of Robel’s tax preparation activity is seasonal, Fenton works year round as some people file their taxes late and there are reassessments to be managed. The office is open by appointment during these months.

If you are having your taxes prepared by the pros at Robel there are a few things to be aware of. The fee structure for basic returns is based on the number of slips and benefits that require filing. Electronic filing is included in the price and promises you a faster refund.

Robel is also able to set up direct deposit for clients, now mandatory with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Even if you have little or no income, you should file your income tax and benefit return, as you may be eligible for credits and benefits. Filing a return is the key to getting your BC and GST tax credits and the Canada child tax benefit, among others.

Tip: Wait until you have received all of your slips (T3, T4, investments etc.) before dropping documents off at Robel’s office.

that did not transpire. She points out some people get frustrated or simply prefer not to do the job and leave it to a tax practitioner.

In addition, if you are going it alone you need to purchase your own tax software and some clients prefer to save themselves this expense.

Fenton finds taxation time very exciting, as she is always happy to see familiar faces and catch up with people. She is extremely fond of Steveston and enjoys shopping locally and getting to know other business owners.

In addition to her work, she volunteers once a week at SOS Children’s Village thrift shop on Moncton Street. Assisting this charity is close to her heart as Fenton was a foster parent for eight years. She also makes patchwork quilts for the society to sell.

She is an avid traveller and enjoys setting off for new destinations. This year she is looking forward to exploring China.

Fenton has realized her dream and celebrates her extremely satisfying career. At the end of the day she says, “It’s all about doing a good job for our clients.”

When the CRA introduced online filing Fenton thought she would lose business but

Last month was the highest selling February on record for the Metro Vancouver housing market.

Residential property sales totalled 4,172 in February 2016, an increase of 36.3% from the 3,061 sales recorded in February 2015 and an increase of 65.6% compared to January 2016 when 2,519 home sales occurred.

Last month’s sales were 56.3% above the 10-year sales average for the month and ranks as the highest February sales total on record. The sales-to-active listings ratio for February 2016 is 57.2%. This is indicative of a seller’s market. Generally, analysts say that downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below the 12%, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it reaches the 20 to 22% range in a particular community for a sustained period of time.

It is in exactly these market conditions that having experienced professionals working for you is extremely important. Let my team at RE/MAX Westcoast - Steveston Real Estate manage this important process for you!

Why You Need a Good Trainer

by Russel Sean Favel As trainers, we understand that for most people joining a gym or getting a personal trainer is not an easy experience. You are about to enter an environment that you are probably not very comfortable with. You are about to test your limits with the hopes of not ending up as a YouTube video of “what not to do.”

equipment because they are afraid of hurting themselves. We can’t tell you the amount of times we have heard “I don't squat, because it's bad for my knees.” The good news is that squatting is not bad for your knees, the way you squat is bad for your knees. Let the trainer show you the correct and safe way to lift weights and feel good!

Injury Prevention: Have you ever hurt “I need to get in shape before your back lifting up your child? Or felt a strain hiring a trainer” is like saying, grabbing the grocery bag off the floor? At the end of the day, we work out to live stronger “I will drive my car until it and better lives. works before I bring it to a mechanic.” ~ Dean Sommerset The goal of working out is not to be good at working out.

“What if I can’t keep up with everyone else?

3)

I might puke. I don't want to stand out. What if they ask me to do a deadlift? Who is dead and why are we lifting them? You want me to clean and WHAT?” Does this sound familiar?

At RSF we get it, and we do everything we can to make your first experience as comfortable as possible.

We have put together a short list of why we feel a good trainer can help you overcome obstacles and smash any goals you may have.

1) Program Planning: Many people see an end goal but don't have the skills or the knowledge to know how to get there. This can cause frustration when results are not achieved or can even keep people from starting a program all together!

2) Proper Form and Technique: People often shy away from certain exercises or

All of the lifts and drills we do are to make your life that much better. Need to carry your groceries up three flights of stairs? No problem! You just did farmer's walks the other day at the gym, this is a piece of cake!

4) Building Relationships: We take pride in being more than just a trainer to our clients. We want them to know we care, we want to know what is happening in their lives, with their families, their jobs. Some of my favourite times in the week are with my clients. Trainers work diligently to help you achieve your specific goals. Often that hour (or two, or three) a week you spend with your trainer, is the only time in your week that is truly devoted to you, your goals, and your successes.

Any trainer can get you tired, but good trainers make you better. ~ Russel Sean Fitness Russel Sean Fitness is expanding by adding another 4800 square feet for a total gym size of 10,300 square feet! Exciting new classes: soccer labs, martial arts, suspension training, Pilates, kettle bells, strength Olympic lifting and a new spinning room! Watch for the grand opening in May.
