Are you curious about what is happening at the former Bank of Nova Scotia lot on the corner of West 41st Avenue and Dunbar Street? This is where you will find Gryphon Development’s corporate office, a showroom for their upcoming projects, and an intimate art gallery. Gryphon Museé brings the work of local artists to our community for your enjoyment. The building just closed for renovations and will reopen next spring.

Gryphon Development has generously stepped forward to sponsor an art wrap on a utility box in Dunbar Village. The wrap has an anti-graffiti coating, keeping city owned traffic signal control boxes looking great while displaying original art produced by local artists. The DVBA will be wrapping a utility box in the south of Dunbar at West 18th Avenue and Gryphon Development has sponsored the cost of the art wrap for the utility box at Dunbar and West 41st Avenue.

On behalf of Dunbar Village businesses, the DVBA would like to thank Gryphon Development for everything they have done in the short time they have had a presence in Dunbar.

Phone Guru To the Rescue Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos by Sandra Steier

When technology is running smoothly we tend to take it for granted, but when it breaks down or malfunctions our lives can go into a tailspin. It also opens up another problem – who can we entrust to repair it?

Ironically, as I was writing this story the powers that be tested my household; one of my family members’ accidentally dropped a cell phone and the glass cracked.

Remarkably, this was a new experience for us. A few weeks earlier we would have been at a loss, but having interviewed Meisam Mulla, one of the owners of Phone Guru, we knew where to go to replace the cracked screen. True to his word, Meisam not only repaired the phone but also turned it around in quick fashion and the phone is as good as new.

Phone Guru opened in May 2018. The community is embracing this much-needed service. Currently the business has two locations (the other is in Surrey) and a third 12

shop is scheduled to open at the end of the year.

“To me Dunbar is the real Vancouver. I love everything about this place: the people, the environment and the sense of community.”

Meisam Mulla “I feel really welcomed here. I have people dropping by to tell me the services I offer are needed in the area. Phones and computers have become an integral part of life, and electronics need a little TLC from time to time,” he says.

Meisam majored in business and is a selftaught software engineer. He ran a consulting firm for eight years and worked www.DunbarLife.com

with small to mid size businesses. His role was to come up with solutions to make business owners’ lives easier through the use of technology.

Motivated to try something new, Meisam decided to open his own business. He comments, “I missed helping people and interacting with them on a personal level.”

What makes Phone Guru stand out?

Meisam mentions, “There are many cell phone repair shops in Vancouver, however, most shops are limited to being able to fix simple issues. At Phone Guru we can repair any type of issue a smartphone has, including repairing the phone’s motherboard. As an example, if you drop your phone in water, Apple would not touch it, even if it were still under warranty. We can actually take the phone apart and in most cases fix the water damage.”

Phone Guru repairs both smartphones and computers.

Meisam says, “I have built an extensive network of suppliers and have access to spare parts that other cell phone shops do not have. In fact, some repair shops send me some of the phones they cannot fix.”

He adds, “Most customers bring in iPhones and iPads but we have experience working with all types of smartphones. At the core of it, smartphones are just miniature computers. They function almost identically and therefore can be repaired by someone who knows how computers work.”

www.DunbarLife.com

If your phone isn’t charging or the camera has stopped working, instead of getting a new phone you can get that individual part replaced.

He points out Phone Guru uses OEM quality spare parts and includes a one-year warranty with all repairs.

13

Meisam shares a valuable tip, which is the importance of using a screen protector.

Recently a customer came in with a big crack right across the phone’s screen. She thought the screen was broken when it fact the crack was on her screen protector.

Meisam saved her a repair bill. He says, “When I told her this, the look of relief on her face actually made my day. We put a new screen protector on her phone and she was on her way.”

The top reasons people bring in a computer for repair is because it is either running slowly or it has a virus. Phone Guru can clean up and optimize the computer within the same day in most cases.

“If needed, we can upgrade the computer’s hardware and have it running much more quickly for a fraction of what it costs to buy a new one. In fact, I’ve had some customers come back and tell me that they can’t believe how well their 10 year old computer has been running ever since they had me upgrade it,” he says.

Choosing to locate Phone Guru in a neighbourbood shopping district aligns with Meisam’s philosophy of supporting independent businesses.

14

He says, “Small business is the foundation of the Canadian economy and shopping locally has more benefits than is immediately apparent. For instance, 70% of Canadians work for a small business.

Supporting small businesses is key to ensuring they remain open and that Canadians stay employed. The personal relationships that you build in the community are a treat on their own. I have gotten to meet so many interesting people running Phone Guru.”

Reflecting on his venture, Meisam concludes, “There are two things that make me very happy in life, one is helping people and the other is solving logical problems.

With this business I am able to do both and sometimes I feel like I am the luckiest person on earth. I get to wake up everyday and do what I love the most.”

Summer blooms are putting on a show, the soil is perfect for planting, pollinators are busy and spring flowering bulb catalogues have arrived.

Pollinator Plants for Fall

The late summer is a time to evaluate successes and areas for improvement in the pollinator garden. Butterflies, bumblebee queens, hover flies and honeybees are active even in autumn.

Gardeners can extend the pollinator season with late blooming plants.

Late flowering pollinator plants for Vancouver: • Michaelmas daisies (Aster) • Sedum, many varieties • Sneezewort (Helenium autumnale) • Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia fulgida) • Penstemon and • Oregon grape (Mahonia), bearing yellow flowers from November to February

Perfect time to Plant

Early fall is an excellent time to add plant material

12:32 PM to your garden. Roots grow well 2015-02-02 in warm soil.

Keep plants well watered until the heavy rains begin.

In spring you will have a plant that is well on its way to having strong roots established, giving it a better chance of survival through the drought months of summer.

Mulch in Autumn

Topping up garden beds with a two to three-inch layer of composted bark mulch is the best way to protect your new garden plantings. We’ve noticed after harsh, snowy winters that gardens which were mulched in the fall had little to no plant loss.

Order spring bulbs now

Local garden centres have spring flowering bulbs for sale, including Phoenix Perennials in Richmond where you are sure to find rare and interesting varieties. Our favourites to plant are daffodils and alliums, both from the onion family. Having lost too many tulips to squirrels, I sadly admit that we no longer plant them. Other successful plantings include Hyacinths and Muscari, or grape hyacinths.

Gryphon Development: Champion of Dunbar Village Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos by Sandra Steier

Inside Gryphon Development’s corporate office (the former Bank of Nova Scotia) at West 41st Avenue and Dunbar Street there is something special going on.

where their parent company JinRay is based. Over the last 23 years, JinRay’s architecture has brought to life the corporate motto “The Art of Living.”

The space contains what you might expect, a showroom for their upcoming projects and offices, but it also includes something not commonly found in a corporate office – an intimate gallery spotlighting the work of local artists for the community to enjoy.

Michelle Lee is Gryphon Development’s corporate marketing manager. She says, “Gryphon is not only in the business of real estate, but also is in the service industry to help create community. We pride ourselves in delivering a way of living, a desire, and a possibility of a more refined lifestyle.”

Gryphon Musée features art that showcases the beauty in everyday life.

The gallery was created as a platform for artists to share their inspirations and for audiences to respond with their personal emotions.

For Westbury, Gryphon Development’s first town home project in Vancouver, North Vancouver artist Laura Scaligine was invited to create a painting to complement the beautiful garden. Her painting was originally done in acrylic paint and will be transformed into a large mosaic wall for placement in the Westbury garden when the project completes.

Gryphon Development’s roots are in Taiwan 26

www.DunbarLife.com

Instead of focusing only on the interior finishes and appliances, these extra artistic elements build a sense of belonging and community for homebuyers.

Michelle says, “It is not just a house; it’s your home. It’s where you spend time with your family.”

Architecture has a lasting impact on a community.

Gryphon Development believes when art and architecture are put together, the possibilities and benefits are endless.

Gryphon Musée is not an art gallery. There is no admission fee and it does not operate for a profit. The gallery is a platform for artists to share their creativity and for audiences to experience their work. It is a space where the public is invited to gather and create community. Some of the company’s happiest moments are when families with children visit Gryphon Musée.

The Gryphon Development team are active community participants. They invite the public to come in and tour their office. They have welcomed the Dunbar Village Business Association to hold education seminars at their office. Public events are part of each art exhibition. Local art students are hired to as tour guides to explain both the artists’ backgrounds and their art.

www.DunbarLife.com

“You are invited to experience Gryphon Musée at your own pace.

We do not promote our real estate projects to Musée visitors.”

Michelle Lee

27

Since its inception, three exhibitions have been mounted in collaboration with the local art community. To date over 1,500 visitors have visited Gryphon Musée.

The first exhibit was in conjunction with the North Vancouver Arts Council and their art rental program. It was followed by Urban Landscape, and featured talented local artists Jeff Wilson and Andrew McDermott.

The third installation, Every Art Original, featured gifted young artists Fiona Tang and Caitlin Reid.

forward to welcoming visitors back to explore the latest Musée Gryphon exhibit.

Thank you, Gryphon Development, for offering this gift of culture to Dunbar; this is what being a Champion of Dunbar Village is all about. It comes in many forms and this unique contribution, which enriches people through the beauty and power of art, is another example of people caring for their community and helping to make it one of the best neighbourhoods in the city.

For the Every Art Original exhibit, Gryphon Development invited Fiona Tang to create an art piece for their office space. This provided a unique opportunity for art lovers to witness how Fiona’s stunning creations are inspired and created.

“Michelle says, “Step by step, bit-by-bit, we believe by sharing the beauty of art with our visitors we can help create a better and happier world.”

As of September Gryphon’s Dunbar office is going through some renovations and is scheduled to reopen next spring. Michelle and the Gryphon team look 28

DUNBAR LIFE: Ask An Expert Can you explain term versus permanent insurance?

The easiest way to understand the differences is to compare them to renting versus owning a home. With PMS 5535 PMS 5535 term insurance, your policy is for a fixed period of time, similar to renting. You build no equity – and when you stop paying, your coverage ends. Permanent life insurance enables you to build equity and cash value PMS Black while you own – just like homeownership does.

Black

Term Insurance: Provides a death benefit for a fixed period of time. Death benefits pass to the PMS Whitetaxes. No cash beneficiary free of federal income value. Many policies expire; the insured may need to White re-prove insurability to prevent a substantial increase in premium. Inexpensive for short-term needs.

Premiums will increase after term period expires.

Permanent Insurance: Can provide a death benefit for the insured’s entire life. Death benefits pass to the PMS 5535 5535 beneficiary free of federalPMS income taxes. Equity/cash value growth is tax-deferred. No need to re-prove insurability, as it is guaranteed under the contract.

Should be held at least 20 years to balance out the Black expenses of the policy. Level premiums (generally).

White

YUMI™ Keratin Lash Lift is revolutionizing the beauty world. It was born in Europe and uses White an advanced technique to enhance your natural lashes and give them an incredible lift without the use of lash extensions, growth serums, false sets, or eyelash curlers. The procedure lifts your natural lashes to an unbelievable height and infuses them with a special pigmentation, resulting in a dramatic and voluminous effect.

With beautifully curved lashes that appear thicker and darker, your eyes will look bigger and brighter than before.

The YUMI™ effect typically lasts for 8-12 weeks— the natural life cycle of an eyelash. The treatment also involves the application of coenzyme Q10 gel pads, which contain anti-aging properties, to the under-eye area. This is not an eyelash perm. Whether you have thick, long, short, dark, blonde, curly, straight, sparse, delicate lashes…

YUMI™ is the lash enhancement for you!

DUNBAR LIFE: Ask An Expert What kind of food can I expect?

La Notte is known for its wide variety of pasta entrees and their ever-popular Osso Buco (offered every Friday night), as well as the perennial favourite Tortellini di Notte. Marina Sedlic says, “The Insalata Alla Cesare (Caesar salad) has a cult following, people travel across the city for it.”

Pesto, pizza, sauces, bread and virtually everything else served at the restaurant is made in house. They use the highest quality and freshest ingredients available and source out local options wherever possible. Sedlic says, “Nothing cures a bad day like a plate of the ladies’ cooking…it is quintessential comfort food.” La Notte has been keeping its patrons well nourished since 1988.
