BAILIFF STANDS BY AS FELGER MOVES

Pot activist Tim Felger prolonged the eviction from his downtown
Abbotsford store and was given one last warning to remove all his
belongings on Wednesday.

Felger initially had been told to clear out all his goods a week and a
half ago, but he left much of them behind. On Wednesday, a bailiff
stood watch as Felger hauled out cabinets, countertops, signs, desks
and cases of canned food, which he would distribute to those who
visited his Da Kine site.

The items were piled onto the sidewalk outside the store at 33770
Essendene Ave. until they could be loaded into a moving van.

Felger was told he had until 5 p.m. that day to remove them or they
would be considered abandoned, leaving the bailiff to dispose of them.

Felger was forced out of the store through a court order obtained by
the building's owner, Dan Banov, who is suing him for almost $53,000
in back rent.

Felger has appealed the case, saying he owns half the building and his
rent is paid in full. Meanwhile, he told the Abbotsford News he has
found a new location in Mission to set up a political office to
continue campaigning for the legalization of marijuana. He won't
reveal the location.
