West Van hockey dad arrested Parental scuffle follows on-ice brawl among players BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
West Vancouver police had to step in and make an arrest Saturday night after fans at a minor hockey game got into an off-ice scuffle. The Hollyburn Huskies AAA bantam team was facing a visiting Semiahmoo team at the Hollyburn Country Club for a playoff game when
an argument between a 45-year-old West Vancouver man and a 67-year-old Langley man got physical. “Two males representing family members from opposite sides of the playoff game began arguing and then the allegation is one male suddenly escalates the argument by grabbing the person’s clothing on the upper body and starting to shake the person while they’re arguing,” said Const. Jeff Palmer, West Vancouver police spokesman. The Langley man was left with some bruising and soreness and police are recommending the Crown lay one charge of assault See Black page 3
North Van mayors pitch for yes side BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com
If you had an unfamiliar voice in your ear Monday night telling you to vote yes in the upcomingTransLink funding referendum, there’s no need to see a shrink. It was probably one of NorthVancouver’s two mayors. City Mayor Darrell Mussatto and district Mayor Richard Walton spent the evening on a “telephone
town hall,” stumping for a yes vote in the coming plebiscite. Joined by former CKNW host Bill Good, the mayors called up thousands of households and invited residents to listen and ask questions. Lower Mainland voters will be asked if they approve of a .5-per cent sales tax increase to fund the improvements in the Mayors’ Council vision. See Fare page 3
