SOCRED MLA Angus Ree appeared in North
Vancouver provincial court Monday to defend his
son Cameron Ree in a civil small claims suit
brought against him by a local real estate company.

‘ THE STEPHENSON brothers are all set for Halloween with two giant pumpkins. Colin, front, five years old, and
Ryan, nine, each have more than enough pumpkin for a custom Jack ’O Lantern. Colin struggles to hold up a 25
pound sample while Ryan reaches for a 75-pound giant propped up outside the Stephenson home in Deep Cove.

locked out

NURSES at Beacon Hill Lodge were served with
72-hour lock-out notice by the private hospital’s

management Monday.

A lock out at the West
Vancouver private hospital,
which would come into ef-
fect Thursday afternoon,
“could,’’ according to B.C.
Nurse’s Union spokesman
Jerry Miller, ‘‘mean a major
escalation in the dispute.”

The West Vancouver
private hospital nurses walk-
ed off the job October 16

seniors’ institution after
both sides in the long sim-

lock-out notice, ‘‘because of
rotating on-again off-again
strike action by members of
the British Columbian
Nurses’ Union,’’ at the
lodge.

The nurses, who walked
out for 90 minutes on
September 9, 16 hours on
October 16, and again on
October 17 for eight hours,
