SEVERAL WEST
Vancouverites who liber-
ated the Netherlands 50
years ago have brought
back greetings from West
Vancouver's sister city
Diemen, a
Amsterdam.

WEST VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL
By Maureen Curtis

West Vancouver District
Council heard June 5 from
former mayor Don Lanskail,
who had taken a picture of the
municipality, and a message
from Mayor Mark Sager to
the recent celebrations in the
Netherlands.

Lanskail was accompanied
at the meeting by severa! for-
mer members of the Seaforth
Highlanders, including
Brigadier (and former Lt.-
Gov. General) Henry Bell-
Irving.

Lanskail] estimated that
about 300,000 people lined
the parade route in the Dutch
suburb during the celebra-
tions.

He said the cemeteries
where fallen Canadian sol-
diers were buried are in
immaculate condition.

Bell-Irving said one of the
most important messages he
and other soldiers received on
their return to the Netherlands
was that their efforts and the
efforts of those who died
were “all worth while.” He
was impressed at how appre-
ciative even
Dutch generations are of the
Canadian contribution. “We
don’t know much about free-
dom; we’ve never lost it,”
Bell-Irving said.

Crimestoppers seeks
White Spot ice man

THE NORTH Vancouver RCMP
and Crimestoppers are seeking pub-
lic assistance to arrest the person
responsible for the Jan. 7 armed
robbery of the Park and Tilford
White Spot restaurant.

A lone masked man entered the
restaurant through the unlocked
automatic car-hop doors at the rear
of the building. The suspect arrived
at about 6:30 a.m., just as staff were
preparing to open for the day.

Upon entering the suspect: pro-
duced a handgun and locked four
employees into a walk-in refrigera-
tor. He then took the store manager
into an office area and ordered her
to open a safe.

The manager handed cash to the
suspect in a CIBC plastic deposit
bag bearing the serial number
7422996. He then locked the man-
ager inside the refrigerator.

The suspect likely left with an
accomplice waiting outside the
restaurant in a car.

Police believe the suspect had
prior knowledge of the restaurant's
operation since he knew exactly
where the safe and cash drawer
were located in the office.

He is described as being a white
male, [8 to 21 years of age, 120 to
150 Ibs.,. with collar-length dark
brown hair and a pale complexion.

Call Crimestoppers at 669-TIPS.
