Byelection likely as Piper leaves board BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

Medical issues force trustee’s resignation

he resignation of a trustee will cost the Chilliwack school board significant unbudgeted funds this year. Second-term trustee Louise Piper has resigned, and a byelection to find a new board member will likely be set for Nov. 30, according to information included in the agenda for Tuesday’s regular public board meeting. “The only way that it could be avoided is if the [education] minister sets aside the requirement

for a board of education to have a and former local CUPE president byelection,” superintendent Evelyn stepped down as chair in May but was expected to resume Novak told the Times. trustee duties in August.

Since Chilliwack is a bigger district, finding Piper’s replacement will likely cost more. “The expenses can vary greatly depending on how many polling stations there are,” Novak said. “What makes it expensive is the number of polling stations and the number of staff that you have to have trained and present and counting the ballots.” See BYELECTION, Page 4

Teacher faces another porn charge

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack teacher already facing child porn charges was back in court Monday to face new accusations. John Patrick Davy is alleged to have viewed child pornography in September, two months after he was arrested and charged with possession of child pornography.

Local teacher charged with possession of child porn alleged to have viewed more illicit images Davy, 43, was also charged with breaching the conditions of his bail by possessing an internet account and accessing the internet. Davy was originally charged in June with the child porn offences. The case remains before the courts.

Davy was subsequently released from custody. He had been a teacher in School District 33. When asked in June about his status, officials would not comment “because it’s a personnel matter.”

According to the BC College of Teachers website, Davy is not currently authorized to teach in the province. Davy has signed an undertaking to not teach pending the resolution of an inquiry into his actions.

people who were counting on this money.” He said the prices being floated by buyers over the weekend were the worst he’s ever seen: between zero and 10 cents for males, and 50 to 80 cents for females, which are prized for their roe. Ken Malloway, co-chair of the Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance, agrees. “They shouldn’t be getting away with it,” he said. He said local First Nations communities count on the money economic opportunity fisheries like the one over the weekend bring in. “A lot of people that might not have an opportunity to make some money will be able to come out and make a good go at it,” he said. Because the beach seine fishery is relatively new, Douglas said aboriginal fishers have yet to develop capacity in terms of processing and marketing their catch, putting them at the mercy of buyers and their low prices. “I think that’s what our nation needs,” he said, “to get involved in the bigger picture, which is processing and marketing our products.” Beach seine is a live-capture method of fishing that allows fishers to corral a target species with a small-mesh net and release, live and unharmed, nontarget species. First Nations crews from the Aitchelitz, Chawathil, Cheam, Katzie, Kwantlen, Kwawkwawapilt, Peters, Seabird Island, Shxw’ow’hamel, Shxwha:y, Shawahlook, Skowkale, Skwah, Soowahlie, Squiala, Sumas, Tzeachten, Yakweakwioose and Yale First Nation were out from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday to Tuesday setting nets along beaches and sand bars. They were permitted to keep pink and chum salmon but were required to count and release sockeye, coho, Chinook, steelhead and sturgeon.

City adds weed & water to agenda BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

eed and water will be on the agenda at this week’s Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference in Vancouver thanks to the City of Chilliwack. Municipal leaders will discuss more than 150 resolutions at the annual gathering, from speed limits to urban ungulates to motorized mobility scooters. One of the two resolutions put forward by Chilliwack addresses the longstanding issue of funding for flood protection from higher levels of government. The resolution asks UBCM to support a regional integrated approach to flood management in the province. Since the Fraser River flows through many communities, the cities argue that it makes little sense to approach flood management in the current, piecemeal fashion, community by community. The UBCM resolution further asks for “dedicated multi-year senior government flood protection funding for

Just two of 155 resolutions put forth 7854 VEDDER ROAD at meeting of B.C. municipalities 604.847.3455 associated studies and capital works for growing medical marijuana. The that result from the program.” The resolution is likely to pass easily but may be just as likely to fall on deaf ears as the UBCM membership has endorsed similar resolutions eight times over the last 15 years. The second resolution put forward by Chilliwack has to do with medical marijuana land use assessment and taxation. The BC Assessment Act allows land with any type of municipal zoning to be classified as farm for assessment and taxation purposes. But because the city thinks marijuana production for medical purposes should be considered an industrial use, a resolution has been put forward to petition the provincial government to change the act so that land cannot be classified as farm for assessment and tax purposes if it is being used for medical marijuana production. Further, the resolution states that farmland in B.C. should not be used

UBCM resolutions committee has noted that the Agricultural Land Commission has said that commercial scale marijuana growing would be a type of farming permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, regardless of municipal zoning. The broader issue of how BC Assessment looks at land use when assessing properties came up recently in Chilliwack related to industrial users grazing livestock on land. The practice came to light last fall when a local industrial landowner put alpacas and llamas on his property, which led to a 98 per cent reduction in property taxes. Coun. Jason Lum told the Times that the city planned to amend its medical marijuana resolution on the floor this week to cover the so-called “llama loophole” issue. The 155 resolutions considered this week is the fewest number at a UBCM convention in the last 10 years.

Parvo outbreak warning BY GLENDA LUYMES The Province

parvovirus outbreak in Chilliwack has the SPCA reminding dog owners to get their pets vaccinated. The virus, which can kill young or vulnerable dogs, has been confirmed in 16 locations in and around Chilliwack. “I keep a map of areas where it’s been reported,” explained Chilliwack animal control officer Trina Douglas. “I’ve never had this many areas flagged on my map.” That’s a concern because the virus can live on the ground for months, even in freezing

temperatures. SPCA spokesperson Lorie Chortyk said the virus has not been reported in SPCA shelters outside of Chilliwack, but it can be spread wherever infected dogs roam. The virus spreads by fecal-oral contamination and attacks the gastrointestinal system, said Dr. Jack Anvik. Animals suffer vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration. Puppies can be hit particularly hard. The Chilliwack vet said he remembers a worldwide outbreak of the canine virus in the 1970s, before there were vaccinations. “It killed thousands of dogs,” he recalled. “They were dropping like flies.”

Planje trial verdict in Oct. BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

verdict will be rendered in October in the trial of the man accused of murdering Robert-Jan Planje. Supreme Court Justice William Grist heard final arguments in August in the trial of Steven Kenneth Frederickson, who is facing second-degree murder charges in Planje’s death. Grist said he will hand down his decision on Oct. 11 at 10 a.m. Planje’s body was discovered down an embankment near Hope on Dec. 30, 2010, two weeks after he disappeared from the Ashwell Road home he shared with Frederickson, a crack addict who had moved into his home that fall. Frederickson was arrested the day after Planje went missing. The trial began in February and was

expected to last into the spring. But the breadth of testimony from dozens of witnesses along with a variety of voir dires, in which Grist ruled whether certain evidence is admissible, extended the trial through the summer. Frederickson is deaf, and the need to translate all testimony and questions into sign language also slowed proceedings. During the trial, the court heard from neighbours and the RCMP, who said a fight occurred between Frederickson, 47, and Planje, 64, the night he went missing. A neighbour also testified she saw Frederickson dragging a heavy object from the home into Planje’s vehicle the night of the fight. Grist’s verdict will likely come down to how much he believes the testimony of Frederickson himself. In July, Frederickson took the stand in his own defence. He told the court Planje had hit him with a stick the night of the fight.

Morbid curiosity raises rates

’ve been here before. Hundreds of times. Too many times. And contrary to a lot of folks who don’t understand what we in the news business do for a living—and why—it’s not my favourite place to be. A youngster had been hit by a car. Maybe his fault, maybe the driver’s. At this point it doesn’t matter. I was there to take some pictures and put together a basic narrative about what had happened. In the old days, I would have snapped a few pictures, got the name of the police officer who would conduct the investigation, and then headed back to the office, getting the details later, in time to send the newspaper off to press. And although the “old days” weren’t all that long ago, even in dog years, the fact is that they were a long, long time ago, in technological terms. Now an important component of the “paper” is electronic, and goes to press immediately—stories now appear on our website literally minutes after they happen. As always, I was careful to stay out of the way of the people who were there to what they could for the stricken lad. I need my pictures, but they come first. I believe that what I and my colleagues in the news business do in situations like that saves lives . . . but in the long term. We hope that, when you read your

BOB GROENEVELD

Be Our Guest newspaper (or visit our website) and you see something tragic like this, it reminds you that this sort of thing can happen to you, too. Or it can happen to someone you care about. You need to be careful out there. But what the first responders do—the police officers, the firefighters, the ambulance paramedics, and yes, sometimes the BC Hydro linemen or other specialists called in to help—matters immediately. Their lifesaving efforts work on time frames literally spanning seconds. So I kept my distance from the action. But there he was. There always seems to be one of them, usually a police officer, sometimes a firefighter. It was one of the firefighters, this time, watching me with obvious disdain. He sent over a subordinate to shut me down. “No pictures,” he said. His voice was not gentle. “I’m with the newspaper,” I said. And he backed off, and I entered into brand new territory. A few moments later, when he finally had

a few to spare, he came over to me and politely apologized. “I didn’t know you were with the paper,” he said. Wow. No one in that position had ever apologized before, and I didn’t quite know what to say, except, “That’s OK. No problem.” It’s not like I wear a uniform or a fire helmet or something. He mentioned something about “looky loos” and how he really didn’t like how some people morbidly take pictures of grisly scenes . . . well he didn’t say all of that, but it was clear that was what he meant. And I agreed with him. But he also appeared to realize that I’m not out there to take pictures for my morbid curiosity—nor for yours, for that matter. You have a right to know that bad things like this happen, and you have a right to know what the dedicated members of the emergency crews you pay for are doing. And then, because someone was obviously paying more attention to the kid on the ground than on the road ahead, we all heard a thump. And one more looky loo got a lesson in the correlation between unfettered morbid curiosity and rising automotive insurance rates. By the way, the kid’s not out of the woods, but he’s going to make it. ◗ Bob Groeneveld is editor of the LangleyAdvance.

t’s been said that municipal government is the closest to the people. If the federal government were to disappear tomorrow—so goes an old yarn—it would take about a month to notice. If the provincial government vanished, citizens would feel the ramifications in about a week. If city hall were suddenly gone, however, the residents of Chilliwack would notice the next day when garbage wasn’t picked up. Not taking these timelines too literally, the point is valid: city hall is important, Many municipal politicians argue that their work is overlooked and that cities are forced to do too much with not enough money. Community newspapers cover the goings on at city halls with a keen eye. Beyond Vancovuer, however, bigger media outlets tend to give scant attention to unsexy stories about recycling, zoning and bylaw enforcement. That’s why the discussions and the resolutions that emerge from this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) annual convention are easy to ignore by the provincial government. Many of the resolutions voted on by the municipal leaders of the province are nothing more than decisions that they should petition Victoria for more of this or less of that, or changes here or there: We resolve to do more to ask for more. All too often Victoria turns a blind eye or, at best, greets the resolutions with platitudes. This week, for example, UBCM will likely adopt a resolution to ask for a regional integrated approach to flood management. Great idea. Yet this will be the eighth such resolution since 1997 and little has been done. The provincial government issues a detailed response to the resolutions that emerge from UBCM conventions. This is good reading, but more needs to be done to follow up with Victoria if responses are inadequate or if promises are not kept. It may not all be newsworthy, but Victoria needs to know that we are all paying attention to UBCM.

and as of Sept. 10, all Seabird Island Band services are in full operation. It is our commitment as chief and council to provide exemplary health, economic development, education, housing and full public services to our members and surrounding communities. Seabird Island College and Community School did not experience any closures. September is the time to celebrate learning and our education department including Kindergarten to Grade 12, and Seabird College/Adult Education is open for business offering 16 different vocational and trades programs. We welcome everyone to register. The Seabird Island administrative building experienced a brief interruption of services as a result of a peaceful protest held outside the band office on Sept. 9. The protest was held by a group of concerned band

members calling themselves “The Committee for the Betterment of Seabird” (The Committee). The Committee indicated that essential health services could continue while leadership was adamant that all programs and services are essential to the successful operations of Seabird Island Band. With acknowledgment of the committee, their concerns and the promise of a peaceful protest, Seabird Island chief and council made a decision to close the office for the day. Leadership continued ongoing dialogue with the committee, seeking a process of resolution to their concerns. On Sept. 10 Seabird Island Band management, staff, with support from families and community members, were led back into the building by leadership and Band elders. Chief Clem Seymour and council

affirm that all programs and services are considered essential to the operation of Seabird Island Band and belong to all of our people. Although this protest briefly impeded services, Seabird Island Band management and leadership are optimistic that we will reach a positive resolution. Seabird Island Band chief and council are resolute and committed to addressing the concerns of all band members. Our doors have always and will continue to remain open to all: members, partnering nations and including those of the Committee for the Betterment of Seabird. This protest has resulted in mediated dialogue with respected elders and members, the improvements to a communications process and policy is underway. Seabird Island Band Chief and Council

Tired of seeing wasted money Editor: I am tired of giving money to charities that waste it. I am going to stop giving to any one that sends me items I don’t need. I just received a page of 98 address labels. I already have a drawer full of address labels I’ve received over that last five or six years. Hasn’t anyone heard

that ‘snail mail’ is dead? I probably don’t send out 98 pieces of mail in a year. One of these charities just sent me a nickel. Why did I send them money to begin with? How many more contributions like mine did it take to give away all those nickels? Mailouts cost money. Even more money when they include those junk items. I even receive letters, with return envelopes included, when I have donated online. It just makes no sense. The latest request for money to support their cause came with six Christmas cards, a sheet of stickers and gift tags, and a pen. I will drop these items off at one of our local charities but, you may be sure, I won’t be using the pen to sign a cheque for that charity. I wish I could see some evidence that my donations are used effectively. So this is a notice to all those charities. You won’t hear from me again after I see that you have money to waste. Because I don’t. Marjorie Lewis Chilliwack

6th Chilliwack very thankful Editor: As September brings about the start of a new scouting year, we would like

WIN AN RV

to reflect on the past year. The 6th Chilliwack would like to thank friends, family, local business and the following local organisations: the Mt. Cheam Lions Club, the Elks Lodge #48 and Chilliwack Optimists Club for their generous support. With their help we were able to have many adventures, ending the year with our group attending the 12th Canadian Scout Jamboree in Sylvan Lake, Alta. Eight local youth were able to attend along with 6,500 other scouts from across Canada as well as from around the world. They participated in many fun programs as well as attended the Calgary Stampede. Their experience at Jamboree has given them many amazing memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you once again to all our supporters as we look forward to another great year of scouting. 6th Chilliwack Scouts

Editor: The following is a letter in response to the low sockeye returns this year. Open-net salmon farms raising Atlantic salmon were introduced to B.C. in the 1970s. These farms have long been recognized as a threat to wild B.C. salmon. Yet despite a 2007 B.C. Special Committee recommendation that “A rapid, phased transition to ocean-based closed containment begin immediately”, and despite the finding of the federal 2009 Cohen Commission that “the potential harm posed to Fraser River sockeye salmon from salmon farms is serious or irreversible,” no level of government has issued any plan to deal with the threat of open-net salmon farms in B.C. waters. The 2013 Fraser sockeye run is estimated at a shocking two million fish. Making matters worse is the added threat of warming weather—hence warming waters. All species of salmon are harmed by warm waters. Looking at the current sockeye runs, DFO estimates 70 per cent will die before they spawn. That leaves only 600,000 to spawn this year. And we thought 2009 was bad. Wild B.C. salmon are in trouble. What can you do? One action is to make educated purchasing choices by looking for SeaChoice guidelines place seafood into three categories: Green = Best Choice; Yellow = Some Concerns; Red = Avoid. Open-net farmed salmon fall into that red category. Avoid. The Overwaitea Food Group (PriceSmart, SaveOn, Coopers, and Overwaitea Foods) got on-board with SeaChoice in 2010 and removed open-net farmed salmon from their shelves in 2012. Recently Safeway has committed to remove all SeaChoice red-labelled products from their shelves by 2015. Wild Pacific salmon are a source of pride in B.C., as evidenced by their designation as B.C.’s official fish. They provide myriad benefits that can never be duplicated by any sort of salmon farm. Show support for wild Pacific salmon by looking for those SeaChoice labels, commending those stores that do not sell open-net farmed salmon and encouraging the rest to follow suit.

Weekend split for Chiefs Chilliwack Prince George Prince George Chilliwack

(Overtime)

2 1 7 1

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he Chilliwack Chiefs seem to have found their starting goaltender. Now they just need to figure out how to put the puck past the guy at the other end of the rink. The Chiefs were crushed 7-1 by the Prince George Spruce Kings Friday night but salvaged an overtime win Sunday to split the weekend series. Netminder Lyndon Stanwood started both games for the Chiefs, and while no goalie wants to allow seven goals, he still turned away plenty of rubber Friday night, making 46 saves. Jaret Babych got the Chiefs’ lone goal in the first before the floodgates opened in the second frame. The Spruce Kings’ third goal came late in the period in controversial fashion, as Brent Lashtuk roofed a backhand as Stanwood fell to the ice. Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl took exception to the goal and was ejected for his troubles after protesting that a Spruce Kings player had interfered with Stanwood. After a pair of losses in the BCHL Showcase, the victory was the Spruce Kings’ first of the season. The scoreline was plenty indicative of the play, as the home side badly outshot the visitors 53-17 in the cramped confines of the Prince George Coliseum. Saturday’s game seemed like it could go in the same direction—and not only because another coach got thrown out. The Chiefs were outshot 18-4 in the first period, but somehow took a 1-0 lead into the dressing room

Spruce King Bryant Christian scores his team’s only goal against Lyndon Stanwood and the Chiefs Sunday. thanks to Carter Cochrane’s first British Columbia Hockey League goal. Cochrane and his defensive partner Kiefer McNaughton both charged the net, and the young dman scooped up a rebound to put Chilliwack ahead. Prince George tied the game late in the second period when Bryan Christian pounded a rebound past Stanwood. The shot was the only puck that would get past the Chiefs’ netminder, who made 42 saves to hold his team in the game. If Chilliwack’s power play was better, they wouldn’t have needed extra time. The Chiefs had eight power play opportunities Saturday, including a string of six in a row punctuat-

ed by the ejection of Prince George coach Dave Dupas for his vocal disagreement with the referees. But the power play remains scoreless in 21 chances this season, and it took four-on-four overtime for Chilliwack to break the deadlock. Zach Diamantoni opened up space in the middle of the rink and dropped the puck to McNaughton, who fired a rocket into the Prince George net to give the Chiefs a much-needed, if not deserved, win. The Chiefs don’t play next until Sept. 28, a two-week break during which the team’s young roster will hope to find the solution to scoring in the BCHL. While three points in four games isn’t so bad, the scorelines are more

worrying. In four games, plus 11 minutes of overtime, the Chiefs have scored just five goals. No other team has less than nine. It’s not just a case of bad puck luck, or a defensive style of play. The Chiefs have allowed more than 40 shots in all four games and been outshot 182-97. Possibly the worst news is this: with two points Saturday, McNaughton is now leading the Chiefs in scoring. In 96 previous BCHL games, he had 16 points. Meanwhile Austin Plevy, who placed second in scoring in the entire league last year, has just one assist through four games.

Valley Huskers receiver Dylan Boykowich battles for a pass during British Columbia Football Conference action against the Okanagan Sun Saturday at Townsend Field.

Huskers feel Sun-burned BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

fter losing to the Okanagan Sun on Saturday, the Valley Huskers will likely find out this week if they will keep their winby-default over the Sun from earlier this year. The Sun have appealed their earlier forfeit loss to the Huskers, and a hearing was held last Tuesday with an independent arbitrator hearing the case. BCFC president Gord Johnson told the Times that a ruling is expected early this week. On Saturday, the Huskers had a chance to win for real, but couldn’t stop the Sun’s big play offence. Still, while losing by three touchdowns is rarely a sign of improvement, Saturday’s 3817 to the Sun could be read just that way. The Huskers, have never finished on the winning end of a British Columbia Football Conference game against the Sun. Meetings between the two teams have usu-

ally been blowouts—the teams’ first game this year was a 65-10 defeat before the Sun were forced to forfeit because they played with an ineligible player. So it was a notable accomplishment for the Huskers racked up 19 first downs and keep the game close for more than a half. The Huskers also managed to hold the Sun to 302 yards of net offence and limit the Sun to three offensive touchdowns. Indeed, the result might have gone the othger way if just a few plays had turned out different. The Sun’s touchdowns came on two long passing plays, a 49-yard run, and a punt block and return. Three tackles and a successful punt could have changed the outcome of the game.

Mixed results from weekend soccer

niversity of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades soccer teams got mixed results from Canada West play last week. The women’s squad secured a 1-1 tie Thursday against the University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds but fell 2-1 to the number-one ranked Trinity Western University (TWU) Spartans on Saturday. The Cascades put in a strong effort against UBC, but were unable to secure three points. After Chilliwack’s Danika Snook and

Maple Ridge’s Carly Neeson were turned aside by the Thunderbirds’ keeper, Tristan Cornell’s long shot took a deflection and found its way into the UBC net. The Cascades couldn’t hold on for the win, however, and UBC scored with eight minutes left to tie the game. On Saturday, it was UFV that needed a late comeback. The Cascades fell behind 2-0 to TWU in the first half, but were unable force their way back into the match until the 90th minute, when Lana Rockhill scored off a corner kick. The Cascades’ record fell to 1-1-1.

Meanwhile, after a defeat in Manitoba, the men salvaged a win from a Prairie road trip to Calgary. The Cascades lost 1-0 to the University ofWinnipegWesmen Thursday. TheWesmen scored just 10 minutes in, and the Cascades couldn’t get the tying goal. UFV had more success Saturday against the Mount Royal University Cougars. Veteran defender Ryan Liddiard’s first CIS goal helped stake the Cascades to a lead midway through the first half. Kree Byrne extended the lead, as the Cascades beat the Cougars 2-0.

HUSKERS, from page 11 After the Sun leapt out to a 19-3 lead, Jerry Sidhu recovered a fumble and ran it 25 yards into the Sun end zone to draw the Huskers to within nine points. It was the closest the Huskers would get, although a late Ty DeRayos touchdown run narrowed the scoreline. Huskers quarterback Cody Parray completed 20 of 32 passes for 159 yards. His favourite target was Blake Draper, who caught 14 pass-

Good day for Parray es for 104 yards. Derayos led the Chilliwack ground gain with 70 yards rushing on 20 carries. The Huskers are currently tied with the Kamloops Broncos for the fourth and final playoff spot, but that could change early this week should the league decide to reverse its earlier decision.

Understanding the liver and how to keep it healthy

he human liver performs an array of functions. In addition to detoxification and protein synthesis, the liver also produces chemicals necessary for digestion. Understanding the role of the liver can help people make smart choices about keeping their livers healthy and avoiding disease.

Understanding the liver

The largest glandular organ of the body, the liver weighs about three pounds and is divided into four lobes of unequal size and shape.The liver can be found in the right side of the abdominal cavity. A healthy liver will be a reddish-brown color. One of the main functions of the liver is to eliminate harmful biochemical waste products. Much like the kidneys, the liver acts a filter for the body, helping to detoxify alcohol and certain drugs. It also helps clear the body of environmental toxins that may have been ingested. The liver also produces substances that break down fats.The liver turns glucose to glycogen, which serves as a secondary energy storage in the body.The liver produces urea, the primary compound in urine, and makes certain amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. The liver also produces bile, which

aids in the digestion and intestinal absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. Bilirubin is the main bile pigment that is formed from the breakdown of waste substances in red blood cells.

of the liver that is caused by a number of different viruses. Hepatitis comes in many forms and named A through G, depending on the virus responsible for the infection. Cirrhosis is scarring that appears on the walls of the liver. While alcohol consumption is largely blamed for liver disease, it is only one of the many causes. Cancer also can occur in the liver, and liver cancers typically spread through the bloodstream from other areas of the body.

Diseases of the liver

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate chronic liver disease and cirrhosis are diagnosed in roughly 100,000 patients who visit hospitals each year. Jaundice is one of the most recognizable warning signs that the liver may not be functioning properly. Jaundice is the yellow colouring of the skin, the sclera in the eyes as well as other mucous membranes. It is caused by hyperbilirubinaemia. If the liver isn’t functioning at full capacity, it cannot maintain the correct amount of bilirubin in the blood. Several behaviors can negatively affect the liver. Drinking too much alcohol can damage liver function over time, and certain drugs—both pharmaceutical and recreational drugs—can compromise the liver. Some drugs that treat cancer and diabetes can be harsh on the liver. Drugs that treat cholesterol can also affect liver function because the liver is also responsible for producing a good amount of the cholesterol in the

The Many Health Beneﬁts of Detoxifyng

n 1888, Dr. Ludwig Brieger coined the word ‘toxin’ to refer to poisons created within the body. Those toxins appear in your cells no matter how pure a life you lead. The very act of living, eating and breathing makes their presence inevitable.

We are constantly taking in oxygen, water and food for metabolism, and that process creates by-products. Even if we lived in a world with no chemicals or pollution, we would still experience cellular toxicity. Many parts of the body participate in the process of cleansing. All of your organs need to function well to effectively cleanse your body of toxins. Lungs, the kidneys, the bladder, the small and large intestines, colon, liver and gall bladder—all of these organs work together to eliminate toxins. When they don’t, the toxins remain in your cells and organs and can cause

membranes of cells in the body. Hepatitis is an inflammatory disease

Maintaining a healthy liver involves eating a well-balanced diet and drinking plenty of water, which helps to flush toxins out of the body. Foods that are high in fat or sugar can be harder on the liver, and should be consumed in moderation. People should avoid overconsumption of alcohol and only use drugs as prescribed by a doctor. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, drinking 10 or more cups of green tea per day was associated with less liver disease in men. The liver is vital to human health, performing so many functions in the body. So it pays to keep the liver healthy by eating well and avoiding drugs and alcohol.

Every now and then, cleansing and detoxifying your body is an effective way to stay healthy.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Tuesday, September 24, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. Council Chambers 8550 Young Road, Chilliwack, B.C. V2P 8A4 www.chilliwack.com

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Chilliwack will hold a Public Hearing, as noted above, on the following items: 1. ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW 2013, No. 3902 (RZ000807)

2. ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW 2013, No. 3954 (RZ000809) Location:

5250 Goldspring Place

Owner:

Gold Spring Heights Development Ltd.

Purpose:

To amend the Land Use Plan of the CD-1 (Comprehensive Development -1) Zone to remove the requirement for a secondary vehicular access road to Sylvan Drive, on the subject property, as shown on the map below.

Locations:

9785, 9777, 9763 and 9755 Oak Street; 46015 Bonny Avenue and 9772 Young Road

Owners:

Pearl Clawson, Dustin Enns, Debra Bond, Norman Holbeche, Lorraine Huebner, and Seventh-Day Adventist Church (British Columbia Conference)

Purpose:

To rezone the subject properties, as shown on the map below from an R1-A (One Family Residential) Zone to a P1 (Civic Assembly) Zone, an R3 (Small Lot One Family Residential) Zone, an R1-C (One Family Residential – Accessory) Zone and an R1-D (Inﬁll Small – Lot One Family Residential) Zone.

LOCATION MAP

The subject application is to facilitate the future expansion of the existing Chilliwack Adventist Church Christian School facility located at 46015 Riverside Drive. The proposed rezoning will allow for future subdivision and consolidation of a portion of the subject properties to create a single large P1 zoned property approximately 0.46ha in area to be utilized for future school uses. The remaining portions of the subject properties are to be rezoned to single family residential zones to permit continued existing residential uses or future inﬁll residential development. In summary the proposal is essentially to create: • a single large (0.463ha) P1 zoned lot for expansion of the existing school; • two R-3 zoned lots to contain two existing single family dwellings; • three R1-D zoned lots to facilitate future residential inﬁll development; and; • two R1-C zoned lots to retain two existing dwellings with the ability to construct a single Accessory Dwelling Unit within each lot.

Field to Fork puts focus on local BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

tarting today, Chilliwack locavores have two weeks of prime eating at popular eateries. Cash Mob Chilliwack’s latest push to support local businesses is called Field to Fork and involves the creation of dishes sourced with products from local farms and retailers by four local restaurants. “Basically we are going to follow the food right from the farm to your plate,” says Cash Mob co-organizer Scott McVetty. Cash Mob Chilliwack is the creation of McVetty and Dale Johnson. The concept is to get people together to hit a local business and spend money, usually about $20 per person. The two started with a “mobbing” of The Bookman and Sticky’s in June 2012 downtown. Since then they have hit Unika clothing store in Vedder Crossing, a Chilliwack Chiefs game, but they got their most attention when in March they organized two massively successful visits to Shandhar Hut and the Bay Leaf after the owner of the latter Indian restaurant received some racist emails. From Sept. 17 to 30, Bozzini’s, Bravo, Jackson’s Steak & Grill House and Lakeside Beach Club will serve meals sourced with local products. Bozzini’s partnered with Polderside Farms in Yarrow and have created a RedBro chicken cacciatore with garlic linguine using Polderside’s heritage breed chickens. The meal includes a spinach spanakopita and a berry
