Jennifer Gauthier fi le photoOlas de Viento (Wind Waves) at Garry Point Park is still not sold, but could soon fi nd a buyer through an auction or private sale.

Miss Mao could be yours for $1.8 millionby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A stainless steel sculpture standing 15 metres high is still the only major Van-couver Biennale artwork installed in Rich-mond to have sold.

Six local works went on sale earlier this year, but only Water #10, a 2,086 kilogram piece at Cambie and River roads, has found a buyer.

Vancouver Biennale spokesperson Miriam Blume said the majority are now expected to be sold by Phillips de Pury and Company through auction or private sale.

“They’re interested in the majority of the large works as well as the maquettes (scale models),” she said. “Now it’s just a matter of choosing which sculpture goes in which auction, or what gets funnelled through their private sales in the next sev-eral months.”

The Vancouver Biennale hasn’t revealed the purchase price of Water #10, but it car-ries a value of $380,000 to $450,000, ac-cording to the organization’s estimates. The work could stay on the public plaza until December.

Phillips de Pury and Company is an auc-tion house based in New York, Hong Kong and London, giving the art a larger buying audience than just the Lower Mainland, said Blume.

“We’re super excited about it because they give us an international network,” she said. “All the revenue goes back into our next exhibition, so opening it up to an international audience, logically we can hopefully command the highest dollar, which will bring as much funding as pos-sible for us into the next exhibition.”

Earlier this year the Vancouver Bien-

nale cancelled a local auction it planned to stage to sell the works due to a lack of ticket sales.

The City of Richmond declined to pur-chase any of the pieces, which ranged from the popular Olas de Viento (Wind Waves) sculpture at Garry Point Park to the controversial Miss Mao Trying To Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin’s Head, which featured a large bust of ex-Soviet Communist leader Vladimir Lenin and was considered satirical by some and of-fensive by others.

Meanwhile organizers are planning events this fall to engage the public be-fore the artwork is gone for good.The fi rst is an art exhibition at Artstarts Gallery in Vancouver, which will show off art created by students who participated in the bien-nale’s educational outreach program. The exhibition begins Sept. 14 and will show-case works from students throughout the region, including Richmond.

The second is the Bikennale, a free fi ve-kilometre ride in downtown Vancouver on Oct. 2, and will launch a mobile fundrais-ing campaign where donors can text the word ART to 45678 to donate $5 to the Vancouver Biennale. A second ride is for the more serious cyclist: a 100-km tour of public art locations throughout the region, including Richmond. Registration info is available at vancouverbiennale.com.

Richmond house prices have risen 225% in 10 years

The benchmark price of a detached Richmond house has increased 225.3 per cent in 10 years.

According to fi gures re-leased by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, the benchmark price of a Richmond house in August was $1,101,939, up 2.5 per cent from the month before and 22.4 per cent from last August.

Only the west side of Van-couver has seen a higher percentage change over the past decade, with today’s $1,963,426 benchmark being a 227.5 percentage change over 2001.

For attached homes, the benchmark price in Richmond for August was $549,175, up 1.7 per cent from July and 7.5 per cent from the year before. That’s an 157.2 per cent increase over 2001.

Richmond apartment’s have increased 191.4 per cent over 10 years, the highest in Greater Vancou-ver. The August price was $362,056, up 1.5 per cent over July and a 7.3 per cent increase over August 2010.

Offi ce vacancy highest in Richmond at 23.9%by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

Richmond has the highest offi ce vacancy rate in Metro Vancouver—a rate nearly triple the region’s average.

According to the commercial real estate fi rm Avison Young, the vacancy rate stands at 23.9 per cent, compared to the region’s average of 7.6 per cent.

Avison Young principal Bill Elliott said new inventory coupled with a major market slowdown in 2008 that hit technology companies espe-cially hard and less-than-ideal public access is to blame.

“The Canada Line provides access to Richmond, but really doesn’t provide access to the offi ce parks,” said Elliott, not-ing inventory in Burnaby has similarly grown, but its offi ce parks are built within walking distance to a rapid transit line or offer shuttle service.

“Burnaby benefi ts by being in the geographical centre of Greater Vancouver. That’s not Richmond’s fault. And from a public transportation perspec-tive, it’s very well serviced.”

Crestwood Corporate Centre in East Richmond does offer a shuttle service to the Canada Line, but Elliott said employ-ees are unlikely to use it if they must fi rst commute to a park-and-ride—and there’s ample parking available at their workplace.

Reported sightings of a black bear on Sea Island have jumped to four in the past three weeks, according to a city spokesperson.

Kim Decker said in each sighting, the bear was spot-ted in the Sea Island Conservation Area, located next to McDonald Beach Park.

“Apparently there’s still lots of food out there in the conservation area as far as berries and things go, but

there hasn’t been any sightings (last) week. We don’t

know if the bear is still there or not so we’ll continue to monitor the situation,” said Decker.

Signs at the park warning of a possible bear in the area remain posted.

B.C. Ministry of Environment conservation offi cer David Cox told The Richmond Review that dog owners visiting the park should keep their pets leashed for the time being.

An off-leash dog is likely to chase a bear, which might fl ee at fi rst, but could later attack the dog or chase it back to its owner. Cox said a leashed dog is more likely to scare the bear away by its barking.

If the bear is still on the island, Cox said it’s in an area

where it will “probably have a challenge getting out on its own means” and may require relocation by conservation offi cers.

McDonald Beach Park, located on the northern edge of Sea Island, is a popular draw for dog owners because of its off-leash dog park.

Heritage area to grow in Stevestonby Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

A new designated heritage area in Ste-veston would stretch from Garry Point Park to London Farm and would better promote the fi shing village to tourists, city planners say.

Proposed is the so-called Steveston Village and Cannery Row Heritage Area, which combines existing heritage plans and policies allowing the city and community groups to better market the area.

“It would, for the fi rst time, clearly iden-tify on one map the wide range of valued heritage resources along the waterfront including Shady Island,” said Terry Crowe, manager of policy planning, in a staff report to be presented today to city council’s plan-ning committee.

The new area policy builds on a 2009 strategy that protects 17 heritage build-ings and 77 other village elements from demolition. That strategy—the Steveston Village Conservation Strategy—requires such property owners to obtain a heritage alteration permit, along with other basic ap-provals, before making any exterior changes to their structures.

City councillors have suggested expand-ing the area the strategy protects, but staff say that isn’t necessary, since government owns many excluded properties, such as Garry Point Park, Britannia Heritage Ship-yard and the Gulf of Georgia Cannery.

Even for privately held properties, staff say the city now has adequate regulations to protect heritage elements.

“By using existing heritage conservation plans, policies and regulations and not ex-panding the (strategy), the city can avoid duplicating heritage regulation,” said Crowe in his report.

Staff are instead suggesting an integrat-ed heritage promotional district they’ve dubbed the Steveston Village and Cannery Row Heritage Area.

If endorsed by city council, the area’s ac-companying policy would push the city to promote the area “to improve tourism, economic development and community livability by attracting visitors, tourism, part-nerships, sponsorships and investment.”

Legendary performer returns to Vancouver for her first show in 15 years

by Matthew HoekstraStaff Reporter

In a short interview, Mitzi Gaynor can drop more showbiz names than a Hollywood guest list.

Noel Coward, David Niven, Josh Logan, Ros-sano Brazzi, Hugh Pickett, Gene Kelly, Ethel Merman, Marilyn Monroe... “I’m using names that you’ve probably never even heard of.”

Being in show business her entire life lends her that skill. Gaynor, who turned 80 Sunday, has rubbed plenty of shoulders in a career that’s taken her from the stage to the silver screen and back to the stage again.

She’s now entertaining crowds with a new variety show of sorts, “Razzle Dazzle! My Life Behind the Sequins,” billed as an evening of laughs, love and music based on a career punctuated by high-energy performances on stage, fi lm and TV. She brings her latest show to the River Rock Show Theatre stage Friday.

“This is kind of my life story—about how I got into show business, about how I got mar-ried, about how I got dropped at Fox, about how I got South Pacifi c and how I started to do what I’m doing now in television,” says Gaynor in a telephone interview with The Richmond Review.

It’s a different show than the one that brought her to Vancouver for the fi rst time in 1966, but leading the way will be the same sparkling personality that made a legendary run at a Hornby Street venue from yesteryear.

A friend of Gaynor’s, Juliet Prowse, spoke highly of the Cave supper club, so she took a chance. Gaynor arrived in Vancouver with plans to stay a week. She stayed for six.

But it took some early prodding. One look at the eclectic venue and Gaynor wanted to cancel.

“Five weeks later, we’re the toast. I felt so in love with Vancouver. I used to say to the people in the audience, ‘If it works here, it’ll work anyplace.’ They were so hip, they’d get the jokes.”

Gaynor returned regularly. Vancouver, she said, changed her life.

“After the fi rst time, we went immediately to Las Vegas and it was standing room only. So I owe a great deal (to Vancouver),” she said. “You Canucks are cool, I gotta tell ya.”

She’s played plenty of other stages here—Queen Elizabeth Theatre, the Playhouse, the Vogue—but hasn’t done a show here for 15 years.

Gaynor’s performing career began in the early ’40s, when she left Chicago with her family for Hollywood to become a star. She was 11 years old and looked 20.

At age 12 she joined the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera and honed her craft in many productions. At age 13, she travelled to San Francisco to work in a show at the Curran

Theatre, splitting a room with a friend at the Somerton Hotel for $1.50 a night.

“My mother let me go, honest to God, when I was 13. She even took me down to the train,” remembers Gaynor. “I had to do this darling, I really did. My father was a cellist, my mother was a dancer, my auntie was a dancer. I also had a desire to do something.”

She later starred in 17 fi lms—including one of the most successful musicals of all time, South Pacifi c—appeared in nine TV specials and earned 17 Emmy nominations. She also was a top nightclub and concert attraction and earned a reputation as one of the great-est live performers of her era.

A guiding force in her professional and

personal life was the late Jack Bean, with whom she was married for over 50 years. They lived a Hollywood life that today rarely repeats. Gaynor says the marriage lasted so long because they loved each other and were in business together.

“I wouldn’t go away for weeks and weeks and weeks at a time, and neither would he. So we would always be together. We were the Beans. We never had that many ‘friend-friends,’ we had each other.”

Now Gaynor serves as president of the Professional Dancers Society, a non-profi t organization that assists dancers in fi nancial need, and is writing a book on her life. It’s hard to write it without sounding like “an a-hole,” she admits, but it’s a life she feels lucky to have lived.

And she still has a passion for thrilling an audience, equating her shows to a play-date among children.

Says Gaynor: “You come into my house, and we’re going to play. I’m going to make you feel comfortable—and lock the door so you can’t get out—and try to take some of your worries away.”

Go Recycle!At home or on the go

Have you seen the new recycling containers with bright green signage

around Steveston Village, Steveston Community Centre and Hugh Boyd Sports Field? These bins are part of the Go Recycle! program, the first pilot public spaces recycling program of its kind in BC, supported by the Canadian Beverage Association, Encorp Pacific (Canada), Nestlé Waters Canada and the City of Richmond.

Public spaces recycling captures the “last mile” of recyclables—items typically captured through regular recycling programs—but abandoned by consumers in park spaces, recreational facilities like arenas, streetscapes, transit stops, bars and restaurants, elementary and secondary schools, convenience stores and gas stations.

The Go Recycle! program is intended to help make recycling available in public areas in a way that mirrors the current blue box and blue cart recycling programs residents have made so successful through their active participation.

Waste audits conducted before and after the three month pilot program will measure the effectiveness of this initiative. The City will be able to use the information to potentially develop and implement a public spaces recycling program on a broader scale throughout the city.

The results will also be discussed with Encorp Pacific’s Board of Directors as well as with staff at the BC Ministry of the Environment for consideration of this type of public spaces recycling province-wide.

So remember, whether at home or on the go, you can recycle.

From Page 1Richmond’s office market has

shown signs of life this year thanks to improved economic conditions and attractive rental rates and terms, but that hasn’t necessarily trans-lated into growth.

“The good news was you fi nally had some leasing activity. The bad news was if you look at the six or seven major deals done in the fi rst half of 2011, all but one of those are Richmond tenants either growing and or relocating within the Richmond marketplace,” said Elliott.

Burnaby’s vacancy rate is second highest, at 9.7 per cent. Yaletown (3.9 per cent) and Downtown Vancouver

(fi ve per cent) have the lowest rates, according to Avison Young.

Colliers International calculates Richmond’s office vacancy rate slightly lower, at 21.2 per cent, which compares with 7.5 per cent across the region.

Richmond City Hall puts the rate at 19.7 per cent, according to a second quarter fi nancial report presented to city council Tuesday. The report noted the vacancy rate “remains a challenge.”

Collectively, the statistics suggest one-fi fth of Richmond’s offi ce space is empty. Yet two large offi ce projects are set for construction, provided pre-lease interest can be found.

The Vancouver Airport Authority

is proposing to build the Sea Island Business Park, which could add 800,000 square feet of offi ce space to the market, along with a 250-room hotel. In the Riverport area, Staburn Property Group and Ledcor have pro-posed building 300,000 square feet of offi ce space at No. 6 Road and Steveston Highway.

Meanwhile, a growing area in South Vancouver is likely to put more pressure on the Richmond market. Vancouver has approved an offi ce tower at the Marine Drive Canada Line station, adding 243,000 square feet of offi ce space to the market. According to Colliers International, construction is expected to begin early next year.

Despite vacancy rate, more offi ces on the way

Published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd.

Remember, this is the guy who once fi gured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consultation.

EDITORIAL: Order of B.C. develops bad odourThe Order of B.C. was

created in 1989 during the Bill Vander Zalm era to “rec-ognize those persons who have served with the great-est distinction and excelled in any field of endeavour benefitting the people of the province, or elsewhere.”

However, of this year’s 14 honourees, there are not one, not two, but three choices where the percep-tion of political cronyism has won out over common sense.

First up is former premier Gordon Campbell, who presided over the most disastrous public policy blunder since Glen Clark and the fast ferries scandal. Campbell’s mishandling of the HST—from implement-ing it with no consulta-tion following an election campaign where he made no mention of it to putting it to a referendum—will cost taxpayers $1.8 bil-lion in repayments to the federal government, plus a billion more in restarting the Provincial Sales Tax. To most British Columbians, that’s his legacy—does he deserve the Order of B.C. for that?

How would voters have felt if former NDP premier Glen Clark, who resigned in disgrace in 1999, had

received the Order of B.C. in 2000? Or Vander Zalm in 1991?

Then there’s Ken Dobell who has been close to Campbell for years. He was city manager when Campbell was mayor of Vancouver and later became a deputy minister and spe-cial advisor to the premier. Now he’s a lobbyist. In 2006, Dobell became the first person to be success-fully prosecuted under the Lobbyists Registry Act. He received an absolute dis-charge after pleading guilty to violating the legislation. He gets in as a “dedicated public servant” and not excellence in lobbying.

And how about David Emerson? Emerson has certainly done some great work in the public and private sector, but most will remember the former federal industry minister for betraying the voters of Vancouver-Kingsway. They re-elected him as a Liberal in 2006, yet he arrogantly crossed the floor to join Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper days later.

Adding a further insult is the fact Campbell should not be eligible for an Order of B.C. this year. Nominees “must not currently be an elected person with federal,

provincial or municipal gov-ernments.” The submission deadline was March 10. Yet Campbell was still an MLA at the time—he resigned five days later.

Also curious is the tim-ing of the announcement. This year’s recipients were named on the Friday before a long weekend, a time when a lot of people are guaranteed not to be pay-

ing attention. Last year, the announcement was made on Aug. 6, a Thursday.

These appointments reek of political patronage and tarnish the good name of the Order of B.C.

Certainly a case can be made for Campbell in future, but remember, Bill Bennett received the Order of B.C. 21 years after leav-ing office. No other premier

has received it. If Campbell is in, why not former pre-mier and Vancouver mayor Mike Harcourt, which time remembers as a good guy with a bad cabinet?

Campbell’s appointment should be rescinded and the province needs to review the Order of B.C.’s selection committee. Political cynicism should have no place with this wor-

Black Press photoFormer premier Gordon Campbell rides the zipline in downtown Vancouver during the 2010 Olympics.

Bill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim

after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the gov-ernment wanted to.

Remember, this is the guy who once fi gured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consulta-tion. But I digress.

Vander Zalm’s typically simplistic analysis soon gave

rise to another conspiracy theory. That’s the one that holds that the B.C. Liberals are dragging their feet on reinstating the old provincial sales tax so they can rake in added revenue for another 18 months. That would help repay the federal govern-ment $1.6 billion for the transition fund that helped B.C. institute the HST.

The fi nance ministry provided some details to get a better sense of the task ahead. First, there are 70,000 businesses in B.C. that switched their accounting and point-of-sale systems to the HST. It’s not likely that they kept notes, hardware and software on hand in anticipation of having to switch back.

Then there are the roughly 1,000 businesses that start up each month in B.C. As-suming most of that contin-ues, by the time the federal and provincial governments undo the HST in March 2013, there will be thousands of businesses that have no experience dealing with the PST. They’re in for an unpleasant surprise.

Here’s one example. Smart

Tax Alliance co-chair Mike Jagger got involved in the effort to defend the HST because of his experience running a security company in Vancouver. Due to the ambiguous nature of the PST rules, he got expert advice on how to pay the tax. Three different experts gave him three different answers.

You have probably heard by now that after the rejection of the HST by 55 per cent of voters, the PST is to be reinstated as it was before July 2010.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon vowed, “I can assure British Columbians PST will not be applied to such items as restaurant meals, bikes and gym memberships – just as it was before the HST was introduced in B.C.”

That sounds pretty defi ni-tive. But I’ve learned in the last two years that there is seldom a simple answer with sales taxes.

For instance, should B.C. re-duce tobacco taxes by seven per cent? Unless you’re a smoker, you probably didn’t notice that the HST raised the price of cigarettes by that amount. Tobacco was PST

exempt, with the province historically having chosen to impose a separate “sin tax” instead.

Liquor taxes also went down under HST, from a 10-per-cent provincial tax to seven per cent. The B.C. government increased the Liquor Distribution Branch

markup to hold onto the revenue, billing it as a policy move so as not to encourage drinking.

The hotel room tax also went down by a point under HST. Should that be raised? These are policy decisions that still must be made, with the province still in defi cit.

• A correction to last week’s column: I referred to a PST reduction for Toyota Prius hybrids, suggesting it would be restored.

In fact this tax break had a sunset clause, and would have expired in March 2011 in any case. B.C.’s 2008 “green budget” brought in a series of PST incentives for fuel-effi cient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on how carbon-effi cient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances.

The centerpiece of that budget was the carbon tax.

Editor:Re: “Speeding teens in

luxury cars face fi nes,” Sept. 2.

I fi nd it very comical that RCMP Insp. Norm Gaumont thinks that a person who drives a $200,000 car will pay any attention to a $196 fi ne for street racing.

What will “teach them a lesson” is bring along a mobile car crusher—now somebody will take notice.

Brian BarnesSteveston

Editor:While I was reading “Richmond

voters reject HST by wide margin” in the Aug. 31 paper, I was appalled and extremely offended to see the racism that was presented as a headline for the continuation of the article on page 3 which read: “HST: ‘The Chinese like to eat out a lot’.” Although I under-stand that this was a quote from an interview, I don’t think that it was appropriate as a headline as it is misleading, offensive, and somewhat of a stereotype.

There were many other reasons outlined in the article that could have served as a better headline since there are several reasons why Richmond rejected the HST by such a high margin. As a newspaper, I believe you should be reporting facts and not someone else’s speculation about the situation. I read and enjoy The Review on a regular basis, and to see this kind of headline is extremely disheartening and disappointing.

newsProtests greet Order of B.C. for Gordon Campbellby Tom FletcherBlack Press

Former premier Gordon Campbell is among the re-cipients of the Order of B.C., prompting protests against the move as well as congratulations for his long career in politics.

Online petitions and other protests started popping up when Campbell was announced Friday as one of 14 recipients of the province’s highest award. Critics com-plained that previous premiers such as Dave Barrett and Mike Harcourt have not received it, while former premier Bill Bennett was named to the order in 2007, 21 years after he left offi ce.

Fuelling the backlash was the selection of Campbell’s long-time deputy Ken Dobell to the Order of B.C. After a long career as Vancouver city manager and then deputy to Campbell in the premier’s offi ce, Dobell was given an absolute discharge in 2008 for what a judge called a “trivial” breach of B.C.’s lobbyist law.

Another controversial choice is David Emerson, a for-mer senior B.C. bureaucrat who went on to serve in two federal cabinets. He is best remembered for crossing the fl oor to the Conservatives to accept a cabinet post, after winning a narrow election victory for the Liberals in Vancouver-Kingsway in 2006.

Other recipients of the Order of B.C., to be presented Oct. 4 in Victoria, are:

•Luigi Aquilini, developer and philanthropist,•Peter Norman Baird, for his work uniting aboriginal

and non-aboriginal people,•Crystal Dunahee, advocate for child safety after the

disappearance of her son Michael,•Yuri Fulmer, described as a “dynamic entrepreneur

and dedicated volunteer,”•Tim Jones, long-time leader of North Shore search

and rescue,•Dr. Phil Muir, long-serving physician in Hazelton,•Jim Robson, former Canucks’ broadcaster,•Jim O’Rourke, West Vancouver, mining engineer,•Karen O’Shannacery, Vancouver advocate for home-

less people,•Baljit Sethi of Prince George, advocate for immi-

grants,•Ellen White of Nanaimo, native educator, activist.

Richmond Raiders kick off 2011community football campaignby Don FennellSports Editor

When Rob Parmar as-sumed the presidency of the Richmond Raiders minor football program last year, his fi rst order of business was to establish a game plan for the future. Topping the list was a re-turn to fundamentals.

As the Raiders kicked off the 2011 Vancouver Mainland Football League season Sunday at Minoru Park, Parmar was confi dent the ground work being laid in the second of a fi ve-year strategy will help produce the desired results.

“Our goals include grow-ing the association by giv-ing kids the opportunity to learn a sport and decide whether it’s something they’d like to pursue,” he said.

With that in mind, the Raiders are heavily in-vested in player develop-ment. They’ve contracted Ready Fitness, headed up by current B.C. Lion Davis Sanchez and former Ed-monton Eskimo Will Loftus, to oversee their off-season program for players aged

eight and nine (Atom Divi-sion) and 10 and 11 (Pee-wee Division). The players

focus on football-specifi c drills such as agility train-ing to help them prepare

for the rigors of the regular season.

Raider head says community, high school can co-existFrom Page 11

But Parmar is concerned about the lack of a year-round program for the Midget Division players, those aged 16 to 18. He

believes that adversely af-fects the overall number of players at that level.

“The Midgets are our pre-mier division in the Vancou-ver Mainland league and

we (Richmond) haven’t been able to develop that program,” he said. “Once the season is over we haven’t been able to get them in the gym and help

them further develop their skills.”

Community football is a lot different than high school football, said Par-mar. In high school (which

plays American rules) the coaches see the kids all the time, whereas in com-munity (which plays three downs or Canadian rules) we need to work at estab-lishing an off-season pro-gram—especially for those kids who may want to use football to get a scholar-ship, he said.

“Also, high school has a lot of folklore behind it, like letters and jackets,” he said. “We can’t offer that to the same extent at the community level.”

Parmar believes high school and community football can successfully co-exist, particularly in Richmond, which has just one high school program at Hugh Boyd Secondary. But he acknowledges there can be too much football.

“High school teams practice an average of fi ve days a week coupled with a game, while the commu-nity teams practice three days and have a game ev-ery week,” he says.

Parents of children who are having diffi cul-ties grasping school lessons routinely turn to tutors to provide the added measure of instruction some stu-dents need to succeed.

Although many teach-ers try to tailor lessons to students with various learning capabilities, there may be instances when some students still fall behind. What’s more, some students perform better with the one-on-one teaching style of tutors than they do in a group setting.

There are certain signs a student may need a tutor. These include students consistently earning failing grades, complaining about or giving excuses why they don’t want to do home-work, behaving badly at school, or complaining that they simply don’t want to go to school. All of these issues may be a child’s way of mask-ing diffi culty grasping lessons.

A tutor can step in to catch a student up with lessons and help him or her fi nd a system of

learning that works.The fi rst step to fi nd-

ing a tutor is working with the student to determine what type of tutor may be ideal.

Tutors come in differ-ent forms:

•Students who volun-teer their time helping fellow classmates. There are also alumni who provide tutoring services for low or no cost.

•Teachers who may offer tutoring after school hours.

•There are online ser-vices where students

can get homework help or assistance in differ-ent subjects.

•Private tutors that come to the student’s home and provide instruction.

•Tutoring companies and franchises where tutoring may take place in a learning facility.

Selecting a tutor•When interviewing

prospective tutors, parents and students should be sure the tutor is qualifi ed. Experts suggest fi nding a tutor who has fi ve or more years of experience. If the tutor will be offering lessons in a particular subject, certifi cation or a degree in that area is very helpful but not al-ways necessary as long as the tutor is effective.

•Students often meet with a tutor one to three times a week per session. The tutor-ing arrangement can stretch on for several months. With this in mind, the tutor-student relationship should be a good one. The child should feel comfortable with the tutor.

•Tutors should know the material but also be able to explain it in layman’s terms to the student. A good tutor will outline a plan on how he or she will help improve performance but also how the tutor will check up and be sure the student main-tains improvement.

•Find a tutor who will be open to interaction with the student’s pri-

mary teacher. This way lessons can be geared around schoolwork and coincide with what’s already being learned.

•Parents will need to be hands-on and take an interest in what the tu-tor and the teacher have to say. Observing the tutor in action can help determine whether the fi t is right or a new tutor needs to be brought in. Parents can wait for fi ve

to eight sessions to pass before determining if the tutor is clicking with the child.

•Select a tutor who agrees to periodic prog-ress reports. It is not too ambitious for par-ents to expect marked academic performance after a month or more of tutoring.

•Shop around for a tutor and remember to emphasize the tutor’s

relationship with the student more than what the tutor charges per hour.

Tutoring is often a helpful way for stu-dents who are falling behind in the classroom to redeem themselves. Hiring a tutor should be done at the fi rst signs of learning diffi culty, not when it seems things are too late to institute change.

“It’s tough to imagine them playing both, and you have to think of the athlete fi rst. It’s important the student’s academic needs are met as well.”

Parmar hopes communi-ty football can retain more of its players by introduc-ing them to the game at a young age, and ensuring the experience remains positive.

“A successful season may be measured in wins and championships for some, but I think if we keep our kids together and haven’t lost any at the end of the season that’s a measure of success too,” he said. “Another is if a kid ends the season a bet-ter player.”

•The Raiders boast fi ve teams this season—Flag, Atom, Peewee, Junior Bantam and Midget. Two of them, Flag and Peewee, are back in action tonight hosting the Burnaby Lions at Minoru Park. Kickoff is 6:15 p.m.

Kajak Covington is Commonwealth fl ag bearerA member of the Rich-

mond Kajaks Track and Field Club will carry the Canadian flag during the opening ceremonies Thursday at the Com-monwealth Youth Games on the Isle of Man.

Asianna Covington, 16, of Surrey is Canada’s top-ranked junior female in both hammer and dis-

cus. At this year’s Legion Canadian Youth Cham-pionships she won both events and set a champi-onship record in discus and has been the B.C. high school champion in each event, along with shot put, three years in a row.

“I’m so honoured to be chosen as the flag

bearer and I can’t wait to walk into that stadium on Thursday,” saidCov-ington. “This is my fi rst international competi-tion and my fi rst time travelling outside North America, so you could say I’m pretty excited.”

While Covington’s athletic credentials are impressive, Canada’s

Commonwealth Games director of sport, Scott Stevenson, said it’s her attitude, work ethic and leadership skills that make her such a strong selection as fl ag bearer.

“Asianna is an honour roll student, led charity work for young victims of Hurricane Katrina, and

contributes volunteer time to read to younger students at her former elementary school and to make sandwiches for the homeless in down-town Vancouver,” said Stevenson.

The competition runs from Friday, Sept. 9 through Sunday, Sept. 11.

> Outdoor Movie Night at King George Park

Finding Nemo at the park

Kids played, parents relaxed and Nemo was found—all at the

East Richmond Community Association’s outdoor movie night last Thursday at King George Park.

The event, spon-sored by Coast Capital Savings, saw hundreds come out to watch Disney’s Finding Nemo and take part in pre-movie activities.

The goal was to bring everyone from the community together.

“What better way to do that than having a free movie night,” said Leith Macrobert, member of the East Richmond Community Association board.

Before the movie families were invited to come out and partici-pate in activities and games and have dinner.

There were face painting and bubble stations and a blowup play area for the kids to enjoy.

Adults had the chance to par-ticipate in outdoor yoga, receive and learn more about health services from Richmond Wellness Clinics and have their fortunes told by Karina Seerattan.

A concession was also set up with hot dogs, popcorn and other snacks for sale.

“We definitely do have a large demographic and we try to cater to them,” said Macrobert.

Once the sun went down it was finally time for the movie.

“It’s a great movie. It’s really, really funny, and it’s very family oriented,” Macrobert said.

Amanda Oye covers the social scene for The Review. Reach her at amanda.oye@telus.net. Around Town appears every Wednesday.

BC Hydro and its contractors will be making improvements to BC Hydro equipment that will require manhole work, and the installation of duct banks (trenches for electrical works) along No. 6 Road in Richmond from Bridgeport Road, south to Westminster Highway.

The work is scheduled to begin September 6 and will continue to the end of October. The hours of work on most days will be from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with occasional evening work. Please watch for the electronic signs that will show any change in hours of construction work.

All businesses and residences along this section will continue to have access.

There will be traffic delays as single lane, alternating traffic will be required. Drivers are encouraged to use other transportation routes. Flaggers will be on the road so please drive with extra caution.

Any questions about this project may be emailed to LMSC.communityrelations@bchydro.bc.ca or call the Lower Mainland Community Relations Project Line at 1 800 663 1377.

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to our customers. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with our customers to conserve energy through Power Smart.
