Search warrants challenged Don Skogstad finishes arguments in case that could invalidate thousands of search warrants in the Interior by Chris Shepherd

A local lawyer has finished his arguments in a case that could change the way search warrants are handled across British Columbia and invalidate thousands of search warrants issued in the past six years, calling the police investigations and subsequent court cases into question. Don Skogstad has argued the current practice of issuing search warrants from a central office in Burnaby is at odds with the Canadian Criminal Code. This case has been brewing for some time, said Skogstad, who also

defended the owners of Holy Smoke against drug trafficking charges this May. “We waited until we had a perfect case.” The perfect case was a grow-op bust in the Slocan Valley in 2006. At 3:42 p.m. on a Thursday, the RCMP faxed their request for a search warrant to the Justice Centre in Burnaby. Fifteen minutes later they had their search warrant and the next morning police had uncovered a garage packed with a marijuana grow-op. According to documents submitted jointly by Skogstad and the province’s lawyers, the

��

RCMP stated they could not appear in person before a judge or justice of the peace because it was “impracticable due to the distance of some 500 kilometers [sic].” The Criminal Code prefers police ask for search warrants in person, Skogstad says, but makes allowances for phone or faxed requests if police believe that it would not be practical to appear personally before a judge. Skogstad says a 2002 decision by the Chief Judge of the Provincial Court of B.C. to locate all justices of the peace in a centralized office

in Burnaby has made it impossible for police to make in-person requests for a search warrant. In his written argument, Skogstad wrote a locally-based justice of the peace is familiar with the geography, may be familiar with the credibility of certain police officers and encourages public confidence in the justice system, Skogstad wrote. The Canadian Criminal Code prefers in-person requests for search warrants, Skogstad says, and changes made by the Chief Justice of B.C. sabotages the intent of the code. “I’ve argued that’s unconstitutional. The

Chief Judge has effectively ignored the federal criminal code.” Lawyers for the province have argued search warrants issued by phone or fax are as good, if not better than those issued in person. The lawyer for the Chief Judge’s office wrote that there are a limited number of justices of the peace and judges hear criminal, civil, regulatory and family matters, the lawyers wrote. “The Chief Judge is best positioned . . . to allocate the available judicial resources as seems best to the Chief Judge to deal efficiently with this huge array of cases.”

Business

Non-compete agreements: A new owners best friend If you are serious about purchasing an existing business and have proceeded to the point of finalizing an offer, you will want to make sure all of your ducks are in a row from a legal perspective. You will want to engage the services of legal counsel and, preferably, the counsel should be skilled in matters of corporate law. One critical component of the purchase contract needs to be a non-compete agreement, or restrictive covenant. In layman’s terms, this means the former owner agrees not to do something that could potentially harm the success of the buyer. The buyer should ensure that the seller agrees not to become involved in a business that competes with the business they are buying. This protects the value and reputation, also considered part of goodwill, of the business. Restrictive cov-

enants must be professionally written; as they may not be enforceable in court if the restriction is too broad. Typically, the language involves a

restriction on the seller from opening, or working for, a similar business in the same trading area for a period of one to three years. How enforceable are these restrictive covenants? Well, call me the eternal optimist, but first and foremost there should be a moral compass. Any individual that agrees to and signs a restrictive covenant has an ethical obligation to uphold that agreement. In the real world, however, not everyone is an upstanding citizen and will choose to knowingly break the covenant. If this happens to you and your business, you should not take this sitting down. Pursue the matter with your lawyer and through the courts if necessary. There are precedents on both sides of this issue in Canada. While the courts may or may not agree with your standpoint, it really is a matter of principle.

Leroy Wolbaum, left, his son Dallas and Ian Ellis want to offer West Kootenayites good quality furniture and decorations at their new store, Mountain Modern Interior.

Mountain style Mountain Modern Interior brings quality furniture to Baker Street by Chris Shepherd The creative minds behind Mountain Modern Interior wanted to give West Kootenay residents high quality furniture in their own backyard. Dallas Wolbaum, owner and manager, and Ian Ellis, designer and sales manager, opened the 621 Baker St. store earlier this month with Dallas’s father, Leroy Wolbaum. Summing up the type of furniture and other decorations they offer, Ellis says they’re offering a Kootenay esthetic, often using raw, natural materials. “If it looks like wood, it is wood,” says Wolbaum. “If it looks like leather, it

is leather.” Some of their products incorporate reclaimed woods, natural wool and other environmentally friendly materials. That doesn’t describe all the products, however. Wolbaum says if people don’t want to pay the prices for the ecoproducts there are many options in the store. Wolbaum and his father bought the building in 2005 and opened the Mountain Hound Inn a year later. Wolbaum always thought the main floor would be perfect for a furniture store. Next, Ellis contacted Wolbaum about opening a furniture store in the space and the two went

Helmsman Erik Kinnear takes the Osprey 2000 to Kootenay Bay. A crew proposal to slow the ferry down is before the Ministry of Transportation. The crew say savings in fuel costs, a simpler schedule and less CO2 production would result from a slower crossing.

Slower ferry, less CO2 Ferry crew propose slower sailing to save fuel, money and environment by Chris Shepherd Crew from Kootenay Lake’s ferries are waiting to hear if their proposal to slow down the ferry schedule, and potentially save money and carbon dioxide emissions, will be approved by the province. “To be honest, the idea came because Victoria has jumped on the green band wagon,” says Captain Ron Askew Capt. Askew said the idea to run the Osprey 2000 and the Balfour at slower speeds and on a slower schedule would bring the ferries to an hour-based schedule, rather than the 50-minute based one the ferries currently use.

That slower schedule would give the crew more time make the crossing and therefore run at slower speeds, using less fuel. Some of the ferry’s engineers calculated the ferries would cut 330,000 litres from their consumption and decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 23 per cent. A slower schedule would also save wear and tear on the ferries, Capt. Askew said. “In the summertime we’re just going full bore and it’s hard to keep up.” Capt. Askew says the slower schedule doesn’t mean they would take a sailing out, but the days would run longer; 20 hours

instead of the current 17 hours. To run that schedule, the ferry would need another crew shift but fuel savings should cover some of the added expense of longer hours, Capt. Askew said. Despite the savings, the captain expects it would still cost up to $200,000 to cover additional crew costs. “That should be smaller now with the way fuel prices have gone up,” he said. Capt. Askew presented the idea to Corky Evans, MLA for Nelson-Creston. Evans gathered civic leaders, two chambers of commerce and spoke with residents on the North and East Shores and found

everyone was for it. In March, Evans stood up in the legislature and asked Kevin Falcon, B.C.’s minister of transportation, to look into the proposal. So far, Evans hasn’t heard back on what he calls a great idea supported by just about everybody. “Everybody agrees that this is a positive way to deal with climate change. It’s a great symbol that if we think it through we can come up with ideas that are good for society.” Jeff Knight, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation, said the ministry was reviewing the proposal and could not say how long that process would take.

The day begins with a slide presentation in New Denver, followed by a 10 km roundtrip hike up the Whitewater Valley to visit grizzly bear habitat (near Retallack). The fee for the program is $70 per person and family rates are available, although the program may not be suitable for young children. Participants must be in good physical condition for the hike and have a vehicle suitable for mountain roads.

a significant portion of our Kyoto commitments by simply reducing the speed limit on our highways to 80 km/hr. The U.S. did this during the oil embargo in the mid ‘70s without dire consequences and this is something that could be implemented almost overnight by a committed federal government. The associated benefits would be substantial and include: 1) reduced fuel costs, 2) significantly reduced mortality and morbidity on our highways, and 3) the elimination of the need for large engines in passenger cars. Corky Evans, MLA for NelsonCreston, has brought the Osprey Initiative to the attention of the legislature on two occasions in recent months and is “cautiously optimistic” the Ministry of Transportation will come on board with the green Osprey initiative.

Give your cat the right scratching option Briefly

I recently made a window display at our store. Nelson is unique as I was able to borrow an item from another business to enhance the window. It was supposed to show off these snazzy dog beds. It ended in a personal lesson on providing your cat with appropriate scratching structures. It is a little ironic as I often talk to people about the importance of providing puppies with enough – and a variety – of things to chew. As I point out how it is much less expensive to buy chew toys than

replace a table. Penguin, our resident mouser, pointed out to me, a leather chair is a

great scratching post when she has no other option. Cats have to scratch; it enables them to shed the sheaths on their nails. Some cats prefer cardboard, carpet, sisal, or wood. They also have a preference on the angle and shape of which they like to scratch. Observing where and how your cat scratches will assist you in selecting a suitable product your cat will use. Should your cat be determined to use a sofa, etc., there are products available to deter them

and they work well. You can even get, “caps” that cover a cats nails for up to four weeks and these do not harm your cat in any way. You do need to provide your cat with an item that they can scratch and you may have to experiment with a few different textures. But the investment is much smaller than the furniture. Oh, if your looking for a chocolate brown, leather chair, (partially shredded), I may know where you can get one for cheap.

Criticism flies over salary increases Councillor McAdams questions city manager’s actions; Mayor Dooley says increase was handled appropriately by Chris Shepherd News the city manager approved a three per cent salary increase for excluded staff earned a sharp rebuke from Councillor Gord McAdams who himself was criticized for his comments. The series of criticisms started with an e-mail city manager Kevin Cormack sent to the mayor and councillors, informing them he had approved the salary increase, retroactive to Tuesday, Jan. 1. “It is not standard practice,” Coun. McAdams said of Cormack’s decision, announced in a Monday, June 16 e-mail. The councillor criticised the city manager and forwarded the original e-mail and his own response to local media later the same day. In the e-mail, Coun. McAdams wrote the increase should have been approved by council, “especially since you will personally benefit from a significant pay increase.” Mayor John Dooley criticised Coun. McAdams for his comments and noted Cormack’s salary was not part of the excluded staff increase. The city manager’s

salary is decided by council alone, the mayor said. Mayor Dooley said Coun. McAdams should have known Cormack’s salary is not included in the latest salary increase. The mayor says council discussed salary increases for the excluded staff – which includes management staff and any workers who deal with confidential information– when they had budget deliberations. “We knew during the

budget process we had put in contingency funding for increases to all the staff,” said Mayor Dooley. Coun. McAdams said that while a contingency fund may have been set aside, council should have been involved in the decision. “The financial plan is not a contract,” the councillor said. Coun. McAdams would have preferred Cormack come to council with salary increases from comparable cities and let the elected officials decide. “If they [the taxpayer] don’t like this, who do they complain to?” Coun. McAdams asked. “I’d say the city manager took it on himself.” For his part, the mayor said he has no problem with how Cormack handled the salary increase. “That’s his job,” Mayor Dooley said. The only concern the mayor had in the whole affair was with how Coun. McAdams conducted himself. “In my opinion, the first call should have been to myself or the city manager.”

Living on Earth as if we want to stay: talk and discussion

Friday, June 27, 7:30 p.m. at the Nelson United Church, 602 Silica St. This is non-partisan initiative of the Nelson Creston Green Party Constituency Association with Future of Food in the Kootenays Working Group and the West Kootenay EcoSociety. Mike Nickerson and his wife Donna Dillman are touring with Mike’s latest book, Life, Money & Illusion: Living on Earth as if we want to stay. The book details the differing views on how to be successful in our changing times. The event will be a talk and discussion about how these two approaches differ significantly on how to deal with today’s most serious problems. “Life, Money & Illusion” outlines new ways of organizing mutual provision (the economy) and a change in priorities that can lead to a long and fulfilling future. During their presentations, while Mike looks at the big picture, Donna, the Lanark-area grandmother who recently went 68 days without eating to protest uranium exploration and mining in eastern Ontario, speaks to an on the ground example of what needs changing.

The Circle of Habondia Lending Society has launched its first publication to help women manage their money. Empower Your Financial Life is a booklet filled with tips and strategies for good financial management. This booklet literally contains a wealth of information, including the lived stories of local women like West Kootenay Boundary MLA Katrine Conroy. “As soon as women saw the first drafts, they wanted to keep them,” says Habondia coordinator and booklet developer Michelle Mungall.The booklet talks about how a person’s perception of money influenc-

es their financial habits, then goes on to discuss important financial literacy topics like savings, debts and the power of compound interest. There’s even a seven-day spending tracker inside so that women can track exactly where they spend their money in a week. Empower your Financial Life can be found at the Nelson and District Women’s Centre, local youth centres including the Nelson and District Youth Centre, community resources centres and where ever you might find community information. You can also call Habondia to get your copy at 551-0671. – submitted

Opinions & Letters Respect Canadian history

Editorial We could all learn from the Osprey’s initiative The crew of the Osprey 2000 have come up with a great idea: Go slower and save. The great thing about the proposal to run the ferries on Kootenay Lake slower (see story on page 3) is the savings don’t come just in fuel costs – an important consideration in these days of soaring oil prices – but the environment is saved from having to absorb more carbon dioxide. Our MLA, Corky Evans, has looked into the matter and gathered the thoughts of businesses and communities most affected by ferry schedules and the information he gathered was overwhelmingly supportive and we at the Express add our support to it as well. In March of this year Evans stood up in the legislature and presented this locally generated initiative to the government. Hopefully the Ministry of Transportation, which has to approve any ferry schedule changes, will see the wisdom in slowing our ferries down. Granted there will be increased labour costs, but they will largely be balanced by fuel savings. The B.C. Liberals have touted their commitment to the environment and this is an excellent opportunity for them to follow the talk with action. If other companies or government services see this initiative supported, they might come forward with their own ideas on how to reduce costs and support the environment. There is no magic bullet to fix the environmental problems facing our planet and it will take many different projects to improve our situation. Everyone with a vehicle can imitate the plan to slow down Kootenay Lake’s ferries. If we all drove slower we’d use less fuel, generate less CO2 and have safer roads to boot. Contact Corky Evans and the Ministry of Transportation to support this initiative. And go lighter on the gas pedal.

Canada celebrates its 141st birthday next week. We are also celebrating 150 years of history of the colony and province of British Columbia this year. Our country and our province have a more colourful history than many people realize. Canadians have shied away from creating Hollywood-style, larger than life, historical figures like many portrayed in American history. One measure of greatness of any society is its level of awareness of those who helped to build that society. Canada needs a better awareness of groups and individuals from our history who helped build our great country. But perhaps a more important measure of society is the level of honour shown to those who

Many of them worked at jobs that were common and repetitious, or they stayed home and raised a family in relative obscurity. They started life with dreams of greatness and ideas for creating a better world. The routine things

Do you think reducing all speed limits by 10 km/hour would make the roads too slow?

It probably would if you’re travelling on the highway. In the cities I think we’re driving too fast as it is, thought I find we don’t drive too fast here in Nelson. Lisa Butterworth, North Shore

We need to honour leaders from all walks of life who contributed to our growth as a nation. But leaders would not have accomplished much of anything without the repetitive daily behaviour of the majority. So the elderly among us deserve our respect, and, where they need it, our help and the resources of our society that will provide for them the quality of life that they have earned.

There’s so many people coming in from elsewhere going through lights and bringing their city driving habits here. But from a practical and environmental point of view, I think it’s a great idea.

Public Safety Advisory Vegetation Around Powerlines

WHAT TO PUT IN THE BAG: R Dry mixed paper (box board, office paper, junk mail, flyers, envelopes, etc). R Rigid plastics with a 1, 2, 4, 5 or 7 displayed inside the mobius loop. R Metal food & beverage containers (empty, rinsed and, if possible, R R

WHAT NOT TO PUT THE BAG: T Glass (can be taken to the Transfer Station at 70 Lakeside Drive). T Organics (compost this if possible). T Plastic containers with a 3 or 6 displayed inside the mobius loop.

When trees or branches come in contact with powerlines, the result is trouble. Tree contact or trees growing too close to powerlines can create a severe public safety hazard and may also cause interruption of Hydro service. To reduce the chances of such dangerous occurrences, Nelson Hydro spends thousands of dollars annually on vegetation management programs. Powerlines that are broken or knocked down by trees or branches can be live, and live wires can kill. Never approach downed powerlines either on foot or with a vehicle. Call Nelson Hydro immediately at 250-352-8240 during regular business hours, or 250-352-3103 after business hours and weekends. Nelson Hydro does not clear tree growth around customer’s insulated service wires, unless there is a serious electrical hazard. Nelson Hydro customers should hire a qualified tree arborist to do this work. If homeowners wish to prune their own trees, Nelson Hydro will remove the service wires to allow the pruning to be done by others, and re-install when the work is finished. In most cases, there is no charge for this service by Nelson Hydro. Nelson Hydro is responsible for and will clear vegetation growth around all primary high voltage powerlines.

Creating a heritage festival is important to Nelson, Rowberry says, because it keeps history alive and gives people a reason to come to Nelson. “You have to have something extra to make your town a tourism destination.” The community already has a reputation for being a heritage city, but he says people here can’t rest on those laurels. People interested in getting involved with the festival can contact Rowberry at 825-0069 or visit www.tntplayhouse.com.

Canadian Tenors

Friday, June 27 at the Capitol Theatre Following a nine month cross Canada casting call, four superb tenors were chosen as the final round of the tenors that would make up Canada’s National tenor group. Accomplished soloists in their own right, their experiences include starring-roles in a Grammy Award-Winning vocal group, national musical theatre tours, the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, The Canadian Opera Company, and international concert and recital performances. As a group, they are now poised to conquer the international stage with their cross-over show that has earned them countless kudos. In a short time, they have risen to such acclaim that they were selected to perform in a star-studded event this past summer to a crowd of 50,000 with David Foster, Natalie McMaster, and Jann Arden among others.

Bread & Bones Jude Davison’s latest CD a mellow mix by Tracy Ardell Jude Davison’s latest CD, Bread & Bones is a nice mix of original tunes along with an interesting assortment of cover tunes. The choices of songs gives you a feel for the type of person and musician Jude Davison is. This is definitely a mellow album, with a country/ folk feel. He plays original acoustic tunes along with cover tunes by Tracy Chapman, Bob Dylan, Mark Knopfler and a great rendition of David Bowie’s “Kooks.” Jude also includes his version of Radiohead’s “High & Dry.” Jude’s original tunes include the haunting melody of “Slow Resurrection,” the uplifting Eastern feel of “Empire of Dust” and the exceedingly catchy one that you will be singing in your head long after you turn the album off, “Bread & Bones.” Jude shows his talents on several instruments on this album, including acoustic,

electric and classical guitars, dobro, mandolin, bass, baritone ukulele, piano, accordion, trombone, drums and percussion. He also shows his vocal talents with the fantastic harmonies on several of the tracks. Jude has dedicated the album to his good friend, poet Blake Parker who passed away last year. Jude has included some of Blake’s words on this album. Jude can be seen live at Max and Irma’s on the weekends and he’s having a CD release on Saturday, June 28.

Can matching your diet to your blood type improve health? Since naturopath Peter D’Adamo first published Eat Right 4 Your Type in 1996, many people have altered their diet in accordance with their blood type in the hope that they will be healthier by doing so. The premise of the blood type diet is that the sugar binding proteins in foods, known as lectins, react differently with the antigens of each blood type. The theory proposes that illness results when we eat foods containing lectins that adversely affect our blood type. D’Adamo classifies blood groups into four categories: the type O person is said to comprise the oldest genetic group and fares well on a meat based diet; type A is said to be more recently evolved and the person with this blood type fares well as a vegetarian; the type B person is said to have the most flexible digestive system and can be more flexible in their food choices; type AB is also said to be more recently evolved and more suited to a vegetarian diet with an occasional serving of meat. There are many theories on how to maximize health through diet, but the origin of illness and the maintenance of health are too

Exploring Health

complex to expect one theory to successfully address all illnesses. There are arguments for and against the blood type diet. Many doctors are critical of it – citing its lack of clinically proven data – and yet many people have found it to have a beneficial effect on various medical complaints. If you are interested in trying the blood type diet your naturopath or nutritionist can best advise you on how to safely make the required shifts in your diet.

THE HEALTH PAGES Briefly Palliative Massage Summer School

Friday, July 4 to Sunday, July 13 at Mountain Lakes Seniors Community The Palliative Massage Summer School program will have specialists on hand and cover topics such as the needs of people living with MS, ALS, cancer, AIDS and cystic fibrosis as well as the special needs of those recovering from spinal cord injuries, stroke, organ transplants, anorexia, drug abuse and alcoholism. Pool therapy and underwater massage will be taught to compliment the palliative massage and for

the first time this year, a teacher training will be offered to medical professionals. As part of the summer school, there will be an open-to-the-public, free, half day wheelchair massage workshop on Monday, July 7 at 1 p.m. and will take place at Mountain Lakes Seniors Community. All wheelchair enthusiasts are welcome to sign up for this complimentary workshop for their friends, caregivers, and families. Caregivers will experience the special head, neck and shoulder massages they so richly deserve.

Breath of Spring at Lakeside

Tuesday, July 1, 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Rotary Lakeside Park This year, the goal of the Breath of Spring campaign is to raise $42,000 to purchase ceiling lifts for the 3rd floor. Mounted on the ceiling, these lifts allow patients to be safely moved from their bed to another stretcher, wheelchair, or to another position. These lifts will make moving patients much easier for the patient, and safer for the medical staff. The Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation will have a table and face painting at the Rotary Lakeside Park as part of the Canada Day celebrations. For the third consecutive year, the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation is proud to partner with the Express newspaper for their annual Breath of Spring campaign. At this time there is no ceiling lift in the palliative care unit, where the smallest movement can sometimes cause a fracture or extreme pain. Moving a patient in this condition to a stretcher to take them for a test could take up to an hour. Generous donation will allow the foundation to purchase a ceiling lift for their palliative care patients, allowing them to be moved safely and without pain.

Reclaiming the garage When was the last time you parked your car in your garage? Do you see more reno materials, rusty bikes, I-will-someday-garagesale-items, or tools, than you do your car? How is it that garages have become the household’s ideal place to dump stuff? If avoiding your garage clutter has become a new sport in your household admit it, it’s time to reclaim your garage. Now, I will come clean, organizing a garage is a big job. To do it right: check the weather network to avoid soaking your belongings and have a minimum of one other person to help. Gather all the necessary tools to get started: labels, boxes, permanent marker, bins, contractor garbage bags and tarps or sidewalk chalk to create a section for “keep,” “donate,” and “trash” piles. To avoid having your clutter end up right back in the garage, put your stuff on trial. Be diligent with what is

worth giving space. The best way is to remove everything and then place the items back in an organized fashion. Do not just put items back without grouping similar items together and label, so everyone knows where to find it and most importantly put it away. Try your hardest to get rid of the trash and donations that day. It’s surprising how quick it will start exploding again. Take my word, getting rid of the stuff is liberating. Now you need to inven-

tory all your items to see what organizing solutions you will require: shelving, peg board, hooks, stackable recycle bins, etc. Remember to utilize all the space in your garage.

Look up and take advantage of vertical space for storage. So, take a minute to appreciate all your hard work and go park your car in your garage.
