Dear Editor:
RE: Kirk LaPointe: Shouting Match Caps Off Drama-Filled West Van Evening
I opened the North Shore News July 26 to catch up on events from across the region, but by the time I got to Page 8, I thought I’d grabbed a copy of the Enquirer.
I’m sorry I missed the arm wrestling challenge in Act 1, because I used to pride myself on my upper body strength. I was, however, an active participant in Act 3, and it was far more exciting than columnist Kirk LaPointe’s recollection. As the mayor and I dodged profanity, we were hurled a statement that was categorically untrue. Mr. LaPointe could have corrected the misinformation and lowered the temperature, but he was gathering his next column from the sidelines. With headlines like that, you can sell a lot of toilet paper!
If anyone wants to know what happened in West Van this week, please check the district’s website for an update, because in the midst of the media circus, we got a lot done!
Coun. Linda Watt
