To a sober listener in a cour- troom the various wamings given to a suspected impaired driver are almost comprehensible: the brea- thalyzer demand, the right to silence, the charter 10A explana- tion of the reason for arrest and the charter 10B warning giving right to counsel. In the middle of the night, the legal wording of the warnings can seem ludicrous. “You're standing in the street. reading all this. You try your best to ensure a person is aware of his tights but if he is impaired, he doesn’t understand the more con- voluted warnings,’ says Central Saanich police Sgt. Chris Mori- son. Once the breathalyzer demand is given, police must wait 20 minutes before giving the first breathalyzer test and a minimum of 17 minutes before the second breathalyzer test. Before any tests are given, the accused has the right to legal advice. “The most significant thing that has changed is the emphasis on the right to council,” said Sidney RCMP Sgt. Andy Rosequist. Police always had to tell an accused he or she had the right to counsel: now they must ensure the accused has every possible oppor- tunity to reach a lawyer. On a Friday night, when a lawyer may be away from home and legal offices are closed, the search for a lawyer can take a long time, Rosequist said. _ A breathalyzer test must be given within two hours of arrest. If the reading is over .08 per cent, the breathalyzer technician prepares a certificate of analysis, which is formally served on the accused by another officer, Rose- quist explained. Since police must ensure the person understands the documents, officers may have to wait until the accused is sober before complet- ing the paperwork, Rosequist said. “There’s a lot of paperwork involved in processing an impaired driver.” “Twenty-two sheets,’ says Mor- tison, checking one of his current files. Central Saanich police Chief Bob Miles remembers when one form was all that was required to lay an impaired driving charge. He suspects the increasing requiremerts are leading to more roadside suspensions and fewer charges of impaired driving. “From a manpower viewpoint, from a chief’s viewpoint, it is a problem. From a management viewpoint I’m torn between a rock and a hard place. Do I want a man tied up for two hours to get one impaired driver off the road?” Miles asked. : “Two hours would be a mini- mum. It could stretch into three.” In Central Saanich, police are laying more impaired driving charges and levying more roadside suspensions — but Miles said the number of roadside suspensions is climbing dramatically throughout the province. “The statistics will astound you.” Continued on Page A12 Candidates react fo the resignation by Glenn Werkman The Review. Mel Couvelier’s resignation as finance minister last week came as no surprise to two political candi- dates in Saanich North and The Islands. But at least one candidate believes it may have improved Couvelier’s chances for re- election.

An Oak Bay businessman will go to court today to take one last shot at reviving his dream of building a championship golf course in Central Saanich. John Berglund will appear at the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver to:contend the legality of council’s Dec. 3 decision to kill his golf _ course proposal. Council overturned a decision made by the previous council to allow Berglund to build a golf course on his Maber Flats farm- land property at Stellys Crossroad and Wallace Drive. Berglund’s lawyer, Bill Hop- kins, said yesterday that a public hearing process into Mayor Ted Jones’ opposition to the golf course proposal was not handled properly. “Certain formalities in relation to the notices for the public hear- ing were not properly followed,” Hopkins said. “Also bylaws to rezone the land were passed in bad faith and gave rise to a reasonable bias.” Central to Hopkins’ argument is that council members had already decided to shoot down the golf course proposal before attending the January 10 public hearing. Central Saanich municipal clerk George Sawada said yesterday he wasn’t at liberty to say what defence the District of Central Saanich would use to combat Berglund’s case. :
