$37.9M West Van tear-down is country’s priciest home Seaside Mansion on the Pointe at 3810 Marine Drive has been a source of neighbourhood controversy TODD COYNE S Ta f f R e p O RT e R
W
hat does $37.9 million look like? Well, the elderly owners of the most expensive residential real estate listing in the country are hoping some wealthy buyer will agree it looks like their West Vancouver waterfront home. Seaside Mansion on the Pointe at 3810 Marine Drive has been listed before. In 2011, its asking price was $30 million. But when it came back on the market last year and its listing was renewed just days ago, the price tag surprised even some experienced West Van realtors. Especially given that the house is widely considered a teardown in real-estate circles, suggesting the original 1964 structure is ripe for replacement. George Tsavdaris, one of two RE/MAX realtors tasked with selling the home, agreed. “It’s in its original condition, if you can understand that,” Tsavdaris said, explaining that the home’s elderly occupants haven’t managed to keep up with its maintenance recently. In fact, 3810 Marine Drive has for years been a thorn in the side of some neighbourhood residents, drawing complaints about garbage strewn around the property and
Traffic Pattern
Changes Changes to left turns on 14th & 16th Street at Marine Drive The District of West Vancouver is informing residents and businesses that west-bound traffic on Marine Drive will no longer be permitted to make left turns at 14th and 16th Streets between 4 and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday. This change will take place on Monday March 4, 2013. Detailed analysis of traffic patterns on Marine Drive indicate that restricting left turns is anticipated to reduce traffic congestion, reduce stops and improve the flow of traffic during the busy hours of the week. If you have any questions, please contact Norm Wong, Transportation Engineer, at 604-925-7157 or by email at nwong@westvancouver.ca.

derelict cars in the driveway. The property’s owners are routinely cited by West Vancouver District for contravening the municipality’s Good Neighbour Bylaw for unsightly and nuisance premises. But Tsavdaris’s colleague, Laura McLaren, told The Outlook the real value of 3810 Marine Drive is not in the home, but in the ground — and the sea. “It’s the last piece of flat waterfront,” McLaren said, specifying that where most Marine Drive properties slope sharply into the water, the majority of this one is nearperfectly level. The large 34,000-square-foot lot is also unique in that it has the potential to be subdivided into three 11,000-square-foot continued, PAGE 8

he District of West Vancouver has given an ultimatum to the unincorporated cliffside community of Montizambert Wynd: Comply with the province’s water standards or we’re cutting you off. For more than 17 years, the remote Howe Sound cul-de-sac has been under one of B.C.’s longest standing boil-water advisories. Residents there, like their West Van neighbours, have pulled water from the nearby Montizambert Creek since the 1940s. But while West Van’s drinking water is drawn from the creek and purified in a provincially regulated treatment facility, the Montizambert water comes directly off West Van’s raw-water pipe and is treated in-home with private point-of-entry systems. Residents have long maintained that these personal water purifiers are reliable and safe, and there have been no recorded incidents suggesting otherwise. But with no provincial oversight or quality assurance from either Metro Vancouver or Vancouver Coastal Health, it’s recently come to the West Van government’s attention that the District could be held legally responsible as Montizambert’s water supplier if something were to go wrong. At the request of Montizambert residents, West Van District has in the past explored the possibility of either absorbing the 13-home community into West Vancouver or selling the residents access to

One in ten Canadians suffers some degree of hearing loss that can be attributed to many causes and conditions of the middle or inner ear.
To promote awareness of better hearing care and the detection of hearing loss, Clear Choice Hearing Clinics Community Outreach program is offering free Audiometric Hearing Screening.
These are full Audiometric assessments of
hearing levels and speech discrimination skills. The result will determine if there is a hearing loss, the type of loss and the level of impairment. The test will be explained in detail and a list of options and suggestions for the most effective corrections will be provided. Should a potential medical complication be found, the results will be forwarded to your Dr with a report of findings explaining the concern.
If you suspect a hearing loss, some common symptoms are: • lack of speech clarity • difficulty with background noise
• difficulties hearing on the phone • missing key words in a sentence • asking people to repeat

estates, each with space enough for its own 8,000-square-foot home and a driveway onto Marine Drive. And that’s precisely the metric that the realtors used to arrive at the $37.9-million figure; accounting for three separate lots at $10 million apiece, plus the existing single-story home which, despite its tear-down tag, is nevertheless valued at $7.9 million. At four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the 5,000-square-foot semi-custom home could be considered modest for the West Bay neighbourhood. But contrast its worth today with what the home’s original owner paid for it and a picture emerges of just how lucrative West Van real estate has become. A quick search of the West Vancouver Archives reveals that when Kenneth Hamilton White built the home in 1964, the land was then valued at $25,670 and the new house at $13,950, for a total property value of $39,620. White was apparently a merchant shipping magnate who built the home on the bay to affirm — quite literally — that his ship had indeed come in. “It was built at that particular point,” Tsavdaris said, “to allow him to view his ships as they traveled through the inlet to the docks.” The land’s value actually dipped in 1965 while the home’s value held firm, leaving

the property’s total assessed worth at just $31,950 — where it would stagnate until 1968. It was then that the neighbourhood’s property values really began to climb and haven’t really slowed since. Today’s asking price of $37.9 million is more than 1,000 times what the same home commanded just 45 years ago. “Who’s going to buy this house?” Tsavdaris asked rhetorically. “A king of China will buy this house, or a Bollywood movie star will buy this house.” More likely, a developer will buy the house and subdivide the property into three separate estates. In fact, there has already been some movement on it. “We’ve had offers on it but unfortunately they haven’t come up to the price that’s wanted by the seller,” Tsavdaris said. “All the offers we’ve had have been from developers to build three monster homes there. But we’re hoping to find that one candidate from Bollywood or from China that would want to keep it as one property.” In 2011, the most expensive residential property listed in the country was another West Vancouver estate — 2190 Camelot Rd. — with a price tag of $39.9 million. That 5.44 acre property is now being turned into a 12-lot subdivision of multi-million-dollar estates. tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

These are some of the creative slogans a Grade 4/5 split class at Norgate elementary came up with for Pink Shirt Day, a national campaign to put an end to bullying. Every student from kindergarten to Grade 7 carefully penned sayings on pink T-shirts that will be worn for the annual event on Feb. 27. “It is one thing to wear a bought T-shirt with a ready-made logo and another to design thoughtful expressions of our feelings,” says Fran Bourassa, the school’s community education facilitator. In another classroom, the motto “Somebody loves you,” is written inside big sparkly red hearts, an homage to one of the second and third graders’ favourite books about the effects of bullying. Walking from class to class, Bourassa notes many students added personalized touches to the T-shirts they will wear to a school-wide meeting on Pink Shirt Day. The event will be “a sea of pink, a veritable tsunami of caring,” says Bourassa, proudly examining her students’ creations. Other classrooms across the North Shore are also getting creative.

assembly. Wearing pink T-shirts, the Grade 6 and 7 students ran to the front of the gym to surprise their younger audience with a choreographed routine to “What Makes You Beautiful” by hit tween band One Direction. Used to performing for much bigger crowds, they weren’t nervous among their teachers and peers. Last month the classes joined 16 other schools in the Lower Mainland in an anti-bullying flash mob at a Vancouver Giants game. During the second intermission the elementary and high school students drew the crowd’s attention by taking off their jackets to reveal T-shirts with one simple word, “Acceptance.” Social media lit up after the energetic dance, with One Direction’s Liam Payne tweeting his support. “We practised the dance for a month, the choreography wasn’t easy,” says their teacher Suzanne Fulton, who helped organize the flashmob with colleague Laura McLachlan. “One useful way we’re helping stop bullying is by raising awareness through social media.”

www.northshoreoutlook.com www.northshoreoutlook.com pink shirt on the first day of school. The next day they bought 50 pink tank tops from a discount store and hauled them to school for all the boys to wear. Now, on the other side of the country, schools in North and West Van are bringing attention to bullying, a topic that was once overlooked all too often as “just kids being kids.” “The fact that no one knew about [the flashmob] helps raise awareness. People can tell their friends what happened, and they can search for the video,” says Grade 7 student Meryl Stevens before the assembly at Gleneagles. Almost every hand was raised when the students were asked if they had been bullied some time in the past. It turns out, it doesn’t matter how “cool” you are; anyone is vulnerable to aggressive behaviour. “After you learn more, you don’t see it as people just being mean, you see it as bullying,” says Anna Gouthro, another Grade 7 student. This sentiment is shared by Norgate elementary staff who want to show bullying doesn’t have to be a part of growing up. Last year some students bought T-shirts with anti-bullying slogans, but this time their CUPE Union stepped in with a donation so everyone could afford one. “It’s great to get all the kids involved so the meaning really sticks with them,” says Bourassa. “This year they’ve really gotten into it. Look at how much effort they’ve put in.”
The solution
In a community-wide effort to combat bullying, North Shore educators are looking at solutions to end aggressive behaviour. “Children are not born as bullies,” explains Sandra-Lynn Shortall, West Vancouver’s
district principal of early learning. “They’re born into environments that can cause this.” Speaking on behalf of West Van Child and Family Hub, an organization that supports families with young children, Shortall says the goal is for families to raise caring children. “It’s not OK to label a child a bully. It’s never that straightforward,” she tells The Outlook, noting behaviour that seems aggressive can actually be part of normal development. For example, it’s natural for preschoolers to bump and push while learning about personal space, she says, so adults need to teach children how to behave instead of labeling them as bullies. Instead of opting for quick solutions for students with aggressive behaviour such as suspension, Shortall says it’s important to deal with each situation thoroughly. “My greatest heartache, personally, is to see that labels do carry.” Educators in North Vancouver are taking a similar approach through socialemotional learning, a process of developing sympathy for others to help maintain positive relationships. “We’re teaching students about how their behavior affects the sense of belonging of others,” says Vincent White, a councillor at Sutherland secondary. The concept of “belonging,” where each child feels safe and welcome at school, is central to how the district tackles bullying. “It’s a complex issue,” says White. “There isn’t one answer and it will be an ongoing discussion we’re having with students.” At Gleneagles and Norgate elementary, the answer might lie in coming together as tight-knit schools where both teachers and students close the book on bullying. mgarstin@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/MichaelaGarstin

home cellar is ideal for committed wine collectors, but having this luxury isn’t always possible. Sometimes their houses aren’t big enough, they’re in the middle of moving, the cost isn’t in the budget or their collections are simply too big. That’s where North Shore Wine Lockers steps in, a temperature and humidity controlled facility that safely stores bottles. “We have one person who moved from a big house down to a small house. He stores around 1,000 bottles with us,” says owner Gary Bombay as he walks beside cases of wine stacked high in the lockers. In one corner, wooden cases of French wine belonging to a collector are stacked on a pallet. He’s letting them age before choosing the best time to sell. Finding places to store wine is becoming an increasing problem for some North Shore residents who want their bottles to age properly, says Bombay, adding the lockers are ideal environments with a constant 14 C temperature, 60- to 75-percent humidity, no vibra-

tion and low light. Noticing that no one was offering wine storage in North or West Vancouver, he teamed up with Barry McNabb, owner of Vancouver-based Winestain Club, to open North Shore Wine Lockers last spring. “We rented to a person who tore down their house and needed to store their wine while they built a new one,” says Bombay. “When they were done, we built a wine cellar in their house.”
Bombay also owns Blue Grouse Wine Cellars, another business located in the same building, which builds custom and modular wine cellars on the North Shore. “We do this a lot — store wine for people while we built their wine cellars,” he says, standing beside a wine cabinet made of stained wood that looks more like a piece of furniture. For serious wine collectors, storing high-priced bottles in a spare bedroom can diminish their value quickly. Wine clubs and restaurants with excess inventory have also stored their wine with him. “I got into the wine business partly because of the demographics right now,” says Bombay. “There are a lot of affluent babyboomers who are healthier and living longer than ever before. They’re getting into wine and hosting dinner parties.” North Shore Wine Lockers is located at 1621 Welsh St. near Pemberton Ave. in North Van. Lockers store between 20 and 200 cases with rates starting at $75 a month. twitter.com/MichaelaGarstin

Large art gallery among West Van’s best kept secrets
Hundreds of eclectic paintings hang in the halls of Hollyburn Country Club MICHAELA GARSTIN S tA f f R E p o Rt E R
O
ne of the North Shore’s largest art galleries is in a very unlikely place. With paintings from the likes of Warren Goodman, Rose-Marie Goodwin, Lori McPhee and other acclaimed artists, Hollyburn Country Club’s collection is well known among members but hasn’t been widely discovered — yet. In the lobby, October Aspens, a signature Goodman painting of trees at the peak of fall, is hung beside other work from the North Shore artist. Hundreds of others, including Deryk Houston’s vivid landscapes and Sandra Harris’s West Coast scenes, adorn nearly every hallway. Unlike some other galleries, admission is free. Non-members can sign in at the club’s front desk. “The whole place used to be made of cinderblock and had low ceilings. I thought a bit of art would make it look much better,” says Hollyburn’s art director Lisa Wolfin, who approached the club directly with the idea. An artist herself, Wolfin has a keen eye for up-and-coming artists and has formed a relationship with the North Shore’s creative community. The artists are displayed for around two months but longer if their paintings sell. As Wolfin leads the tour, a club member asks for more information about Rising to the Top, a tall 48”x96” texturized painting of evergreen trees by Lori McPhee. As luck has it, the artist is on site, dropping off Parlor Grand, a commissioned close-up of

piano keys a member asked for after seeing a similar one that had recently sold. “Hollyburn has made it possible for artists to connect with collectors, which is such a great gift,” says the former North Shore artist. McPhee used a crackling technique she discovered by accident to create the texture of bark on her West Coast-style trees in Rising to the Top. It’s her largest work exhibited at Hollyburn, and one that shows off her technique of using palette knives along with brushes. With dozens of paintings showcased, McPhee has an eclectic style, from jazz musicians to Tuscan landscapes to abstract flowers. “There’s something for everyone, but still people see my work and know it’s mine,” she says, lifting the large canvas from the wall. “I would get bored doing the same series. I have so much inside me I need to get it out,” she says energetically as a passerby inquires after another copy of Parlor Grand. “A lot of people really like this one. I could see it hanging beside their grand piano.” Wolfin makes a deliberate attempt to showcase North Shore artists and has an extensive list of 200 that continues to grow. Since Hollyburn’s art continually changes, she says, collectors will visit several times a year. “Members like coming here to see the work,” she says, walking through hall after hall of art. “They don’t have to drive downtown and look for parking anymore.” Hollyburn Country Club is located at 950 Cross Creek Rd. near the 15th Street exit on the Upper Levels Highway in West Vancouver.

Make some noise against bullying!
Pink Shirt Day is Wednesday Feb 27th 2013
Help put a stop to bullying. Wear the shirt. Be the difference. CKNW ORPHANS’ FUND
2013
PRESENTED BY:
It started in September 2007, when two teens at a Nova Scotia high school stood up for a younger student. David Shepherd and Travis Price, both in Grade 12, heard about a Grade 9 student at their school who had been bullied and threatened for wearing a pink polo shirt on his first day of school. They decided they should do something about it and bought 50 pink shirts and tank tops to wear to school the next day. They also went online to round up support for their anti-bullying cause, which they dubbed a “sea of pink.” It worked. The next day, dozens of students were outfitted with the discount shirts, but even better, hundreds of students showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some from head to toe. The bullies were reportedly never heard from again. This year, Feb. 27 is Pink Shirt Day in B.C. and other parts of Canada, an annual anti-bullying event that started after the now-famous 2007 “sea of pink” campaign. The need for awareness and action against bullying remains as strong as ever say those involved in the pink event, including local radio station CKNW, Black Press, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver, and London Drugs, where people can buy the official pink shirts for 2013. “Awareness of what bullying is and understanding that it hurts is important,” says Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver president and CEO Carolyn Tuckwell.
Help Stop Bullying!! Support Pink Shirt Day Wednesday, February 27th Bullying comes in all forms: ▪ Verbal bullying
“It isn’t just a rite of passage. It doesn’t have to happen. And it’s relevant to everyone, whether in school, after school or in the workplace.” According to www.bullyingcanada.ca, as many as 25 per cent of children in Grades 4 to 6 have been bullied and approximately one in 10 children have bullied others, while a 2004 study published in the Medical Journal of Pediatrics found that about one in seven Canadian children aged 11 to 16 are victims of bullying. It is important to recognize what bullying is, and that it happens in many forms – verbally, socially, physically and online (cyber bullying), says Tuckwell. For more information and resources on bullying:
www.mychildsafety.net www.pinkshirtday.ca www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sco/ www.healthlinkbc.ca/kb/content/special/uf4870.html www.bullyingcanada.ca
“By wearing pink, people show they’re making that commitment, to not let bullying happen,” she says. Tuckwell and others emphasize that the pink shirt is secondary to raising awareness about bullying and getting people involved.
B.C. is no stranger to tragedy related to bullying. From Surrey’s 14-year-old Hamed Nastoh, who jumped off the Patullo Bridge and killed himself after leaving a note behind blaming the constant bullying he endured at school, to Mission’s Dawn-Marie Wesley, 14, who committed suicide by hanging herself after relentless bullying, to Port Coquitlam’s Amanda Todd, 15, who killed herself after posting a video on YouTube talking about her experiences with cyber bullying, there are countless told and untold stories that remain horrific. The provincial government has taken steps to address bullying in recent years, including a Ministry of Education resource brochure for parents in 14 languages that can be found online at www.bced. gov.bc.ca/sco. Net proceeds benefit the CKNW Orphans Fund in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Coast BC. The Boys and Girls Clubs offer programs that foster self-esteem, social engagement, academic success, inclusion, acceptance, respect for self and others, and connection to community. The CKNW Orphans Fund is committed to enhancing the lives of children with physical, mental and social challenges living in BC communities. The fund includes children who are bullied under the scope of the fund’s work, because these children will need extra support for their development.

water supply. In November, the District determined that neither option would be appropriate and on Monday gave Montizambert residents six months to find a solution to their water woes with Metro Vancouver or else their connection to West Van’s raw-water pipe would be severed. Montizambert residents at Monday’s meeting pleaded for an extension of council’s decision on the severance for another month, but council declined, saying six months should prove ample time to find a resolution. “The residents of West Vancouver have effectively already paid thousands and thousands of dollars in staff time and legal fees on this issue and will continue to do so if we spend the next six months negotiating with you,” Coun. Nora Gambioli said. All who spoke on it agreed, with council passing the motion unanimously and Mayor Michael Smith suggesting he was confident that, at the end of six months, Montizambert residents wouldn’t be left high and dry. “We’re still in no way closing the door on the residents out there,” Smith said. “We like to be good neighbours and if we can find a resolution that works for everybody through Metro Vancouver finally getting involved, then council can at a later point in time rescind this motion — if there is a resolution in place.” tcoyne@northshoreoutlook.com twitter.com/toddcoyne

joInIng ThE fIRE flEET - Normally when you think of fire department vehicles you think of big red behemoths. Well not anymore. District of North Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services has added two new low-emission vehicles to its fleet, a Toyota Hybrid Prius C and a Prius V. The vehicles will be used by the fire prevention and pubic education divisions and replace two vans.
