Richmond house prices have risen 225% in 10 years

Office vacancy highest in Richmond at 23.9% by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter Richmond has the highest office vacancy rate in Metro Vancouver—a rate nearly triple the region’s average. According to the commercial real estate firm 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 especially 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 office parks,” said Elliott, noting inventory in Burnaby has similarly grown, but its office parks are built within walking distance to a rapid transit line or offer shuttle service. “Burnaby benefits by being in the geographical centre of Greater Vancouver. That’s not Richmond’s fault. And from a public transportation perspective, it’s very well serviced.” Crestwood Corporate Centre in East Richmond does offer a shuttle service to the Canada Line, but Elliott said employees are unlikely to use it if they must first commute to a park-and-ride—and there’s ample parking available at their workplace.

No takers yet for Wind Waves Miss Mao could be yours for $1.8 million by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter A stainless steel sculpture standing 15 metres high is still the only major Vancouver Biennale artwork installed in Richmond 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 several months.” The Vancouver Biennale hasn’t revealed the purchase price of Water #10, but it carries a value of $380,000 to $450,000, according to the organization’s estimates. The work could stay on the public plaza until December.

Phillips de Pury and Company is an auction 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 possible 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 purchase 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 offensive by others. Meanwhile organizers are planning events this fall to engage the public before the artwork is gone for good.The ﬁrst is an art exhibition at Artstarts Gallery in Vancouver, which will show off art created by students who participated in the biennale’s educational outreach program. The exhibition begins Sept. 14 and will showcase works from students throughout the region, including Richmond. The second is the Bikennale, a free ﬁvekilometre ride in downtown Vancouver on Oct. 2, and will launch a mobile fundraising 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.

The return of Mitzi

Heritage area to grow in Steveston

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

by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter

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

Noel Coward, David Niven, Josh Logan, Rossano 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, film 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 married, about how I got dropped at Fox, about how I got South Pacific 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 first 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 first 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

Polly O Entertainment photo Mitzi Gaynor, who wowed nightclub audiences in Vancouver in the ‘60s, returns Friday with a show at River Rock Show Theatre.

Mitzi Gaynor •”Razzle Dazzle! My Life Behind the Sequins” •8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9 at River Rock Show Theatre, 8811 River Rd. •Tickets, $24.50 to $29.50, at ticketmaster.ca or 1-855-985-5000 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 ﬁlms—including one of the most successful musicals of all time, South Paciﬁc—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 greatest 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 ‘friendfriends,’ we had each other.” Now Gaynor serves as president of the Professional Dancers Society, a non-proﬁt organization that assists dancers in ﬁnancial 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.”

A new designated heritage area in Steveston would stretch from Garry Point Park to London Farm and would better promote the ﬁshing 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 ﬁrst time, clearly identify 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 planning committee. The new area policy builds on a 2009 strategy that protects 17 heritage buildings 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 approvals, before making any exterior changes to their structures. City councillors have suggested expanding 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 Shipyard 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 expanding the (strategy), the city can avoid duplicating heritage regulation,” said Crowe in his report. Staff are instead suggesting an integrated heritage promotional district they’ve dubbed the Steveston Village and Cannery Row Heritage Area. If endorsed by city council, the area’s accompanying policy would push the city to promote the area “to improve tourism, economic development and community livability by attracting visitors, tourism, partnerships, sponsorships and investment.”

The city wants to better promote Steveston to tourists.

Sea Island bear spotted four times, but hasn’t been seen lately by Matthew Hoekstra Staff Reporter 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 spotted 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 officer 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 flee at first, 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

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.

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.

(five 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 financial report presented to city council Tuesday. The report noted the vacancy rate “remains a challenge.” Collectively, the statistics suggest one-fifth of Richmond’s office space is empty. Yet two large office 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 office space to the market, along with a 250-room hotel. In the Riverport area, Staburn Property Group and Ledcor have proposed building 300,000 square feet of office 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 office tower at the Marine Drive Canada Line station, adding 243,000 square feet of office space to the market. According to Colliers International, construction is expected to begin early next year.

The Order of B.C. was created in 1989 during the Bill Vander Zalm era to “recognize those persons who have served with the greatest 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 perception 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 implementing it with no consultation following an election campaign where he made no mention of it to putting it to a referendum—will cost taxpayers $1.8 billion 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 special advisor to the premier. Now he’s a lobbyist. In 2006, Dobell became the first person to be successfully prosecuted under the Lobbyists Registry Act. He received an absolute discharge 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 governments.” The submission deadline was March 10. Yet Campbell was still an MLA at the time—he resigned five days later. Also curious is the timing 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 leaving office. No other premier

has received it. If Campbell is in, why not former premier 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-

ill 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 government wanted to.

Remember, this is the guy who once ﬁgured 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. 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 government $1.6 billion for the transition fund that helped B.C. institute the HST. The ﬁnance 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. Assuming most of that continues, 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 deﬁnitive. But I’ve learned in the last two years that there is seldom a simple answer with sales taxes. For instance, should B.C. reduce 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 deficit. • 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-efficient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on how carbon-efficient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances. The centerpiece of that budget was the carbon tax. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

letters A car crusher would get their attention Editor: Re: “Speeding teens in luxury cars face fines,” Sept. 2. I find 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 fine for street racing. What will “teach them a lesson” is bring along a mobile car crusher— now somebody will take notice. Brian Barnes Steveston

Headline was offensive 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 understand 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.

Site trailer sits on Onni land

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. Pamela Chen Richmond

Editor: I wrote in concerning an Onni site trailer on Bayview restricting access, (Letters, Sept.2). Since writing I contacted city hall and ﬁnd that the land on which

the site trailer is sitting actually belongs to Onni, not the city. I apologize for any confusion I have caused. Graham Swindell Richmond

Educational programs will not be compromised during job action Editor: The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is in its ﬁrst phase of job action. During this time, educational programs will not be compromised and schools will be in session with teachers fulﬁlling all teaching duties. However, teachers will not be performing administrative duties as determined by the Labour Relations Board under the Essential Services Act. This includes formally providing report cards, participating in administrative meetings (unless under emergency circumstances), and supervising students outside of instructional hours (before school, after school and recess). Ensuring the well-being and

learning of our students is the highest priority for the Richmond School District and provisions have been made to continue our high standards of care and safety. The district has provided a roster of administrative and management personnel who will assist elementary administrators in recess supervision as part of our commitment to ensuring student safety. The Richmond School District has a long-standing relationship of mutual respect and professionalism with our teaching and support staff and our goal is to continue such a relationship during and after times of job action. We will continue to provide upto-date information through the help of our local media, on our

Twitter site at www.twitter.com/ RichmondSD38, on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ RichmondSD38, and on our website at www.sd38.bc.ca.

news Protests greet Order of B.C. for Gordon Campbell YYOUNG WATER Co. offers you

by Tom Fletcher Black Press Former premier Gordon Campbell is among the recipients 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 complained 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 office. 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 office, 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 former senior B.C. bureaucrat who went on to serve in two federal cabinets. He is best remembered for crossing the floor 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 homeless people, •Baljit Sethi of Prince George, advocate for immigrants, •Ellen White of Nanaimo, native educator, activist.

Don Fennell photo Despite runs like this, the Richmond Raiders came up on the short end of a 41-6 score to Vancouver Trojans in Vancouver Mainland Football League Midget Division play Sunday at Minoru Park.

Richmond Raiders kick off 2011 community football campaign by Don Fennell Sports Editor When Rob Parmar assumed the presidency of the Richmond Raiders minor football program last year, his ďŹ rst order of business was to establish a game plan for the future. Topping the list was a return to fundamentals. As the Raiders kicked off the 2011 Vancouver Mainland Football League season Sunday at Minoru Park, Parmar was conďŹ dent the ground work being laid in the second of a ďŹ ve-year strategy will help produce the desired results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goals include growing the association by giving kids the opportunity to learn a sport and decide whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to pursue,â&#x20AC;? he said. With that in mind, the Raiders are heavily invested in player development. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve contracted Ready Fitness, headed up by current B.C. Lion Davis Sanchez and former Edmonton Eskimo Will Loftus, to oversee their off-season program for players aged

eight and nine (Atom Division) and 10 and 11 (Peewee Division). The players

focus on football-speciďŹ c drills such as agility training to help them prepare

for the rigors of the regular season.

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

believes that adversely affects the overall number of players at that level. “The Midgets are our premier division in the Vancouver 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 Parmar. In high school (which TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS Vancouver

But he acknowledges there can be too much football. “High school teams practice an average of ﬁve days a week coupled with a game, while the community teams practice three days and have a game every week,” he says.

What to look for in a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tutor Parents of children who are having difďŹ culties grasping school lessons routinely turn to tutors to provide the added measure of instruction some students need to succeed. Although many teachers try to tailor lessons to students with various learning capabilities, there may be instances when some students still fall behind. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do homework, behaving badly at school, or complaining that they simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go to school. All of these issues may be a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of masking difďŹ culty grasping lessons. A tutor can step in to catch a student up with lessons and help him or her ďŹ nd a system of

Selecting a tutor Tutors can provide added instruction to students who are having some difďŹ culties grasping lessons.

learning that works. The ďŹ rst step to ďŹ nding a tutor is working with the student to determine what type of tutor may be ideal. Tutors come in different forms: â&#x20AC;˘Students who volunteer their time helping fellow classmates. There are also alumni who provide tutoring services for low or no cost. â&#x20AC;˘Teachers who may offer tutoring after school hours. â&#x20AC;˘There are online services where students

â&#x20AC;˘When interviewing prospective tutors, parents and students should be sure the tutor is qualiďŹ ed. Experts suggest ďŹ nding a tutor who has ďŹ ve or more years of experience. If the tutor will be offering lessons in a particular subject, certiďŹ cation or a degree in that area is very helpful but not always necessary as long as the tutor is effective. â&#x20AC;˘Students often meet with a tutor one to three times a week per session. The tutoring 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.

â&#x20AC;˘Tutors should know the material but also be able to explain it in laymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 maintains improvement. â&#x20AC;˘Find a tutor who will be open to interaction with the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pri-

mary teacher. This way lessons can be geared around schoolwork and coincide with whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already being learned. â&#x20AC;˘Parents will need to be hands-on and take an interest in what the tutor and the teacher have to say. Observing the tutor in action can help determine whether the ďŹ t is right or a new tutor needs to be brought in. Parents can wait for ďŹ ve

relationship with the student more than what the tutor charges per hour. Tutoring is often a helpful way for students who are falling behind in the classroom to redeem themselves. Hiring a tutor should be done at the ďŹ rst signs of learning difďŹ culty, not when it seems things are too late to institute change.

Remember the mosquitoes, the dirt, and the marshmallows? They will too.

“It’s tough to imagine them playing both, and you have to think of the athlete ﬁrst. It’s important the student’s academic needs are met as well.” Parmar hopes community football can retain more of its players by introducing 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 better player.” •The Raiders boast ﬁve 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 ďŹ&#x201A;ag bearer A member of the Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club will carry the Canadian flag during the opening ceremonies Thursday at the Commonwealth Youth Games on the Isle of Man. Asianna Covington, 16, of Surrey is Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-ranked junior female in both hammer and dis-

cus. At this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legion Canadian Youth Championships she won both events and set a championship record in discus and has been the B.C. high school champion in each event, along with shot put, three years in a row. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so honoured to be chosen as the flag

bearer and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to walk into that stadium on Thursday,â&#x20AC;? saidCovington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my ďŹ rst international competition and my ďŹ rst time travelling outside North America, so you could say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty excited.â&#x20AC;? While Covingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic credentials are impressive, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Commonwealth Games director of sport, Scott Stevenson, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her attitude, work ethic and leadership skills that make her such a strong selection as ďŹ&#x201A;ag bearer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 downtown Vancouver,â&#x20AC;? said Stevenson. The competition runs from Friday, Sept. 9 through Sunday, Sept. 11.

It was learned that he did have a home, but because of their new baby allergies, the owners were unable to look after him. He is still very playful and loves attention. He would love to go to a family where he could be included in the family, safely indoors!

> Outdoor Movie Night at King George Park

Finding Nemo at the park

ids 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, sponsored by Coast Capital Savings, saw hundreds come out Around Town to watch Disney’s Amanda Oye 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 participate 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 participate 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.
