iliside students
talk to top spot

SEVEN HILLSIDE Secondary School students will
compete in a provincial debating competition after
arguing their way to the top of a recent debating
tournament.

The success in the Jan. 31 qualifying compctition
held at St. George’s School in Vancouver follows first
and third-place finishes for two Hillside debating
teams at a Nov. 22, 1986 International Baccalaureate
debating competition.

Victors in the Jan. 31 competition included
Rouzbeh Pirouz, the Grade 10 student judged best
debater in his team's division at the Baccalaureate
competition; Phil Howard and Chris Monahan,
Hillside Grade 10 students who finished third at the
same competition; Grade 9 student Jennifer Moss;

Coordinator for Hillside’s Baccalaureate program
Marion Langdale said the competition at St. Georges
ineluded about 100 debaiers.

Hillside’s winning students will now advance to the
Baccalaureate Haninarskjold provincial debating
competition scheduled to be held at St. Michael's
School in Victoria March 7 and 8.

Winners in that competition will advance to na-
tional debating championships.

Hillside began its International Baccalaureate pro-
gram this school year, and is currently the only North
Shore school offering the program.

The school has 65 Grade 10 Baccalaureate students.

The International Baccalaureate curriculuny was
developed by England's Oxford University in the "60s
and was designed to challenge and enrich highly

Grade 10 student Brent Bagshaw; and Grade 122

Heather Cameron and Sara Slinn.

NEW ZONING rules in
North Vancouver’s posh
Tempe ‘Heights area mean
the latest home in the
development will be “‘small’’
and ‘‘cheap,”’ city council
heard Monday.

By STEPHEN BARRINGTON
News Reporter :

Builder Ed Sherbina told council
‘the recently approved area zoning
change made it impossible for him
to build a home compatible with
the existing houses.

“I’m going to have to build a
very small, very cheap home in the
middle of this area,’’ Sherbina
said. ‘J can put up a house that is
just bare bones.”

During the third marketing stage
of Tempe Heights, the sale for the

majority of the lots closed in ‘June -

1986. City “staff “said -the site
owners must apply for a building
permit and have the foundations
on the lot within six months of the
lot purchase date. The house had
to be completed within 18 months.

City land agent Derwyn Owen
said Sherbina could have built
under the previous regulations had
he applied to the city before the six
month period was over.

But the previous property
owners could not ‘“‘read or write
English’? and were unaware of the
requirement, said Sherbina, who
says he -purchased the property
Jan. 30.

Sherbina said the present zoning
rules mean he. cannot have a
basement in the house, making it
necessary for him to put utilities
on the ground floor.

The builder made it clear he was
not asking council to allow a larger
house.

“1 just. want to make it com-
patible (with neighboring
houses),’’ he said.

Council referred the matter to
staff to see if a compromise could
be reached.

Ald. Ralph Hall praised the
move and said: ‘‘We wanted
Tempe Heights to be a quality
development — we don’t want
some kind of aberration up there.”

“Staff is quite prepared to meet
with Mr. Sherbina and discuss
‘Tegulations,”” said Fred Smith,
director of the city’s development
