Non-profit ski club is

From page 37

need a powerful flashlight and
plenty of company!

To wash away the scary feeling
of the Lava lands, two more bar
recommendations: The Owl’s Nest
in Sisters has a good live band. If
you like the best in in country
music iry Bender's in Bend —
they bring in some of the big
names in the field.

And, remembering that this part
of the U.S. is really cowboy coun-
try, horseback riding is offered
year round.

The best part of the trip was
Mount Hood. “I'd go there any
time. We're going back next
summer.’’ This is a place where
you can bring a family, learn to
ski (there’s plenty of simple runs)
and have a wonderful time.

They stayed at a beautiful old
lodge called Timberline (toll free
phone: 1-800-547-1406), right on
the mountain. This is the place
where the movie ‘‘The Shining’’
was filmed, but don’t look for the
labyrinth — it doesn’t exist!

Geoff has an eye for beautiful
woodwork and said that it was
easy to see why they made a
movie here. Seen close up the car-
vings on the huge pillars and
beams are wonderful.

So is the fooa: The restaurant
in Timberline is five-star, the
prices reasonable for the quality
involved and the dining room
perfect, reflecting the ¢legance

built in 1936. There is a ‘*mild”’
dress code but ‘you wouldn’t
think of going in in your ski
clothes.””

Also, the restaurant features
monthly Vintner’s Dinners and
Brewmaster’s Dinners, full dinner
packages for $45 (wine), $35
(beer), featuring the products of
the best local wineries and micro
breweries. Next are on March 15
(ale) and April 19 (wine).

Rooms range from $56 a night
(chalet) to $135 (with fireplace)
and something called ‘‘Friends of
Timberline’ packages available —
you'll have to phone the toll-free
number and look them over
yourself if you’ve a yen to try
Timberline. They'll send you a big
package of brochures.

“You'll not find wild runs on

the part of the mountain where
Timberline is located, but if you
want something more advanced, a
15-minute drive to the other side
of the mountain is an area called
Meadows, so it’s not 2 problem if
your group has a few who want to
do the odd bit of advanced ski-
ing.”’
Geoff is definitely in the ad-
vanced-skier department, s0
Timberline must be something
special if he’s planning a visit in
the summer!

You don’t have to be a skier to
join the Pacific Ski Club. There’s
500 members, it’s non-profit and
they’rc always looking for new
members. Call Geoff at 929-8812.

Question: When I watch Amer-
ican police dramas on television, {
notice that the police always use
the same words when they arrest
someone. They say, ‘‘You have
the right to remain sijent, but
anything you say will be used in
evidence against you.’’ The police
also say that only one phone call
will be permitted. I have always
wondered if the sames rules apply
in Canada. Is an arrest unlawful if
the correct words are noi used?
Also, if the police ask you ques-
tions, do you have to answer or
can you remain silent?

Answer: In Canada the police
can approach anyone, at any time,
and ask questions, just as you or I
could. There are no restrictions.
The palice may also stop anyone
they cansider to be acting
suspiciously.

On the other hand, unless the
police have a legal reason to de-
tain you, and are prepared to tell
you that reason, you do not have
to answer questions. Nor do the
police have to tell you about your
right to remain silent or that any
statements you make could be us-
ed against you in court.

AS a suspect, you are not under
arrest and so there is no require-
ment for police to advise you of
your right to retain a lawyer
Straight away. When police start
asking questions, you have the
right to inquire about the subject
matter. You also have the right to
advise them that you wish to con-
sult a lawyer before answering any
questions. You may also request
the interview be postponed until
you have obtained legal counsel.

If you are arrested or detained
by the police you have the right
which must be stated. Under the
Charter of Rights and Freedoms,
1982, it is an express constitu-
tional right that you must be in-
formed about the right to retain
and instruct counsel without
delay. Failure to do this may
result in dismissal of the charges
or rejection of evidence obtained
following what would then be an
illegal arrest.

The law says that the police
shouid warn an arrested person of
their right to remain silent before
they interrogate him or her, but it
is possible that a judge would
admit the statements of an accus-
ed person even if this warning was
Not given.

In the case of an arrest, the
police must allow enough phone
calls for the arrested person to
contact a lawyer, either at the
time of the arrest or after being
booked at the police station.
There are no limits as long as each
call is a legitimate attempt to con-
tact counsel. Friends and relatives
may also be called to request help
in contacting a lawyer on behalf
of the arrested person.
