One man is dead, another is stillmissing after a swimming accident inGolden Ears Provincial Park on Friday.
It could be days, weeks, or even monthsbefore the body of a second man isrecovered from a creek in Golden EarsProvincial Park, according to the local searchmanager.
The body of a 19-year-old Deltaman was recovered Friday afternoonat about 5 p.m. He and a friend hadbeen swept away by fast movingwater in a popular swimming holeabove the falls on Gold Creek.
The search for the second man,a 22-year-old from Surrey who ispresumed drowned, continued untilSaturday afternoon, when teamswere ordered to stand down.
“Not much is new. We have towait for the water to go down,”Ridge Meadows Search & Rescue (SAR)manager Rick Laing told The TIMES Sunday.
“[The recovery] really depends on thesnowpack melt. It’s all up to the weather,”he explained.
Parks services will let the RCMP knowwhen the water levels go down. The RCMPdive team will then assess the situation anddetermine when it is safe to enter the water.
“If the dive team goes in and is able torecover the body, they will. It’s up to theRCMP to call us in if they need us,” Laingsaid.
The accident happened at about 2 p.m. onFriday.
“They waded in and slipped on the rocksand got swept away,” said RCMP Sgt. DaleSomerville.
The drop over the falls is only three to fourmetres high, but is dangerous right now withthe high spring run-off, Somerville explained.
“It’s quite popular and relatively safe inthe summer,” he said. “This time of year it’sdefinitely a dangerous situation.”
Friday afternoon, SAR had two swift-watermembers in the creek. Their search effortswere aided by three swift-water membersfrom the fire department, as well as a heli-copter. By Saturday those numbers rose tofive from the local SAR, four from Coquitlamsearch and rescue, and two from Mission, as
well as a one-man kayak to get intothe tight places that the swift-watercrew were unable to manoeuvre.But the second missing man couldnot be located.
“The search conditions weretreacherous. The water levels arevery high at this time,” said RidgeMeadows RCMP Staff Sgt. RoxanneDowden, who added that weatherplayed a factor in the ongoingsearch.
She said police could not send upa helicopter on Sunday.
It was a helicopter that was credited withspotting the first body Friday.
Another incident SaturdayAuthorities are warning people to steer
clear of the edge of waterways in the south-ern part of the province.
Some people aren’t listening to the warn-ings, though. On Saturday, just after SARmembers returned home, they were calledout for another, unrelated rescue – againalong Gold Creek.
“Apparently, three people were on a raftthat flipped. Two made it to one side andone made it to the other side. I believe itwas below the bridge in Gold Creek,” Laingsaid, noting his team was called off whilepreparing to head back up the mountain.

Keller Williams sent its employeesto Ridge Meadows Hospital for itsannual Red Day.by Maria [email protected]
Baillie House is looking spruced up thisweek thanks to realtors who took a dayoff to do some landscaping.
Agents from Keller Williams were at thecare facility at Ridge Meadows Hospitalputting plants in the garden, painting gar-den furniture, and fixing the outside areasas part of the company’s Red Day event.
“Red” stands for “renew, energize, anddonate” and Red Day is the company’sinternational day of service.
Across North America, all KellerWilliams offices were closed Thursday as83,000 employes took part in Red Day,including 2,500 in Canada – 30 were giv-ing their time in Maple Ridge.
“This event is an entrenched part ofKeller Williams Elite Realty’s culture anddisplays the extraordinary effect a com-pany can have when individuals cometogether to work as a team for the greatergood of everyone,” said team leader MattKirby. “We can’t tell you what an impactit makes on each of us personally – itfeels so great to give back to the com-munity we know and love.”
The event began a few years ago whenKeller Williams International’s vice-pres-ident, Mo Anderson, thought up the idea.On her birthday, instead of her receivinga gift, everyone in the company goes outto give back to the community, explainedTerri Spilsbury, owner and managingbroker of the Keller Williams offices inMaple Ridge and Coquitlam.
The first Red Day wasin 2009, and since thenthe company has givenalmost half a millionhours in communityservice, for example, in women’s shelters,playgrounds, or cleaning up rivers.

Gordy and Mary Robsonbuilt a golf course inWebster’s Corners.
The District of MapleRidge has launched a civillawsuit against its formermayor, alleging a golfcourse on his propertydoesn’t comply with itszoning.
On behalf of the Districtof Maple Ridge and asdirected by council, thelaw firm Young Andersonfiled a notice of civil claimlast week seeking to havethe golf course use onGordy and Mary Robson’sWebster’s Corners prop-erty discontinued.
But the former mayorsaid the Heather HillsGolf Course west of 256thStreet in Webster’s Cornersis for agri-tourism and willprotect farmland for thefuture.
The zoning for the prop-erty is single-family ruralresidential.
“[The zoning] does notallow for a golf courseuse,” said Reece Harding,a lawyer with YoungAnderson.
The District asked theRobsons in February tocomply with the zon-ing, but no response wasreceived, Harding added.
The Robsons have livedon the property for abouthalf a century.
They grew hazelnuts ontheir land, but most of thetrees were destroyed byblight. They currently raiseSuffolk sheep on the farm.
In 2004, the HeatherHills Farm Society wasestablished with a man-
date to protect the landand raise money for kids,Robson said.
During his tenure asmayor, the BC AssessmentAuthority changed hisassessment from class nineto class eight, which is“recreational tourism fornon-profits.” To qualify asagri-tourism, the propertyneeded to be assessedas a class nine. Robsonappealed the ruling and itwas changed back.
Robson cited an ALCpolicy from March 2003,which states that “...in allcases the regulation of theuse by local governmentmust be reasonable andnot prohibitive.”
A legal opinion he
received in April, 2011,from the law firm Baker &Baker stated that “an agri-tourism use can includea golf course as long asit meets the requirementsset out in the AgriculturalLand Commission Act foragri-tourism.”
Robson said his activitieson the property are tem-porary, seasonal, revers-ible, and removeable.
“We’re trying to find away to protect [the farm-land] forever,” he said.
His lawyer will be filinga response within a coupleweeks, Robson said.
Robson was mayor ofMaple Ridge from 2005 to2008, and is a columnistfor The TIMES.

A logging truck lost its load on theGolden Ears Bridge Friday, slowingthe morning commute.by Matthew ClaxtonGlacier Media
Motorists found traffic snarled head-ing between Maple Ridge and Langley onFriday morning after a log truck spilled itsload.
The truck, heading north from Langley,was barely onto the bridge deck when the
spill took place. The logs rolled towardsthe centre of the bridge, and slammed intothe concrete lane dividers, pushing theminto the southbound lanes.
No one was injured by the spill, saidCpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for theLangley RCMP.
All but one northbound lane wereblocked, and at least one southbound lanewas also closed due to the logs.
It took hours to clean up the logs.RCMP, firefighters, and commercial
vehicle inspectors were on the scenemuch of Friday morning. There is no wordon what caused the accident.

Multiple crews will work concurrently in multiple locations along DewdneyTrunk Road as they replace several utility poles and upgrade electricalequipment. This work will require flaggers to direct vehicles around thebucket trucks, which may cause temporary traffic delays.

Our View
Real job justgetting started
The job interviews have been con-cluded, and today, it’s up to the boss todecide who will represent Maple Ridgeand Pitt Meadows in running the affairsof British Columbia.
You’re the boss.You decide which of the job appli-
cants best meets the specification youhave in mind to get the work done toyour satisfaction.
Unlike in some other democracies,voting is not a legal responsibility here,just an ethical one. You won’t be finedor tossed in jail if you failed to showup at your designated polling place ordidn’t exercise one ofthe many other optionsElections BC ensuredwere at your disposal.
But whether or notyou voted, your job isn’tfinished. From here onin, like any good boss, it’s your job toensure that your employee – your MLA– is properly instructed in the work heor she is expected to do on your behalf.
And it’s your job to monitor his orher progress in completing his or hercontractual obligation – to represent youand your neighbours in the Legislature.
And make no mistake about it: yourMLA is your representative in Victoria.
Furthermore (and this is somethingthat seems to get lost in translationwithin minutes after the polls close),you are your MLA’s boss, even if youpreferred one of the other applicants forthe job. He or she works for all of us…or is supposed to.
That is a message we’re hoping willbe driven home to the successful appli-cant, as well. An elected MLA is sup-posed to represent everyone in his orher riding – not just those whose votesgave him or her the job.
And certainly not just those whoseideas for running the province meshexactly with the party leader’s.
– B.G.
It’s amazing how sunshine inspringtime has the dual effect ofbringing out the beauty of nature,while at the same time causingan almost magnetic attractionbetween asphalt and all sorts ofscummy garbage.
It’s also amazing how a littlespring rain enhances the verdantaccomplishments of sunshinein gardens and fields and parks– and how quickly that same lit-tle bit of rain can flush that scumand dirt and garbage right backoff the roads.
All week long, leading up to Saturday, thegrowls of testosterone-injected motors, ampli-fied by screaming tires and ear-drum crushing“music” emanating from masculinity-surrogatestereo systems roared by my house – as they doevery year at this time.
And then: a little rain on Sunday, and they’reall washed back, cowering, into their garagesand back-alley parking spots and the dark placesof refuge where they wait for the next opportun-ity to force themselves upon the psyches of thosewho don’t understand the joys of noise andtoxic, lung-rotting fumes.
The sun brings out this special kind of car nutwho has no regard for quiet, or subdued sound.
(Actual silence can’t even be made to exist indreams anymore, even without the constant bar-rages of those whose fanaticism takes a quantumleap beyond western civilization’s usual fatalattraction to the internal combustion engine.)
No sooner do the temperatures reach into the20s, but these guys’ brains take refuge in theirtailpipes, where they are shielded from anyunderstanding that there are other people in thisworld – people would like to be able to heartheir own music, or listen to the bees and thebreeze, or perhaps just be able to hear their ownthoughts.
Really, I don’t mind if you want to spend everypenny of your disposable income on buying,
building, washing, polishing,and babying your own personalvision of the perfect configura-tion of metal, plastic, and viscousand non-viscous fluids.
Just as I have nothing againstthose who insist – against allreason and evidence of deathlyrisk – on consuming tobaccoproducts.
But to me the automobile is anecessity, to be used to provideour transportation needs.
In fact, as we have determinedfrom the burgeoning evidence of
its complicity in climate change, it is the epitomeof the necessary evil.
As such, it should be used as sparingly as pos-sible.
And just as I would admonish the smoker: “Doit somewhere else, and don’t blow your smokein my face.”
Indeed, to the smokers’ credit, they tend not tobe half as noisy – not a tenth.
They disturb my peace only when I step intotheir range.
And they disturb my health only when I amforced to share their airspace.
The fanatical motorist performs drive-bys pastmy house at any time of day or night.
Sunny afternoons of any weekend are primetime.
As are the late evening and early morninghours – coincidentally they tend to create a mini-rush hour of noise and carbon stench at justabout the time it would take for a speeder to getto my house after exiting the nearest neighbour-hood public house at closing time.
The rain gives only temporary relief.It will subside, and I can expect another season
of boom boxes affixed to barely mufflered powerplants rattling my windows in the wee hours andat any time that decent people like to relax intheir backyards.
Ahhh… the joy of impending summer.

Dear Editor,As I ventured forth on my
yearly quest for the perfectMother’s Day gift, I wasenvisioning bouquets offlowers, boxes of chocolates,creative candy displays, or cuteand funny little knick-knacksconveniently over-priced justfor this special occasion.
To my surprise and delight,the market uptown was openfor the season, and operating full-out withboth guns blazing. Right here, in this onehappy, compact shoppers’ emporium wasevery conceivable doodad the intrepidMother’s Day gift-hunter could think of.
Happenstance led me first to a little boothrun by Ana from Lopez Brothers’ Nurserywhich displayed a wonderful assortment ofcacti. I perused the contents of the boothwith interest (a guy thing), and shared agiggle with Ana as I imagined the look onmy mother’s face while opening her prettylittle cactus on Mother’s Day morning.
With a chuckle in my heart and a smileon my lips, I continued into the jumble of
offerings available for purchase. Iran the gamut, examining pursesand plants, knick-knacks andsnacks, make-overs, paintings,spices, and soaps, and an hourlater… I was at that little booth,back at the beginning, buying acactus.
Out of curiosity, I asked Ana if Ihappened to be the only one buy-ing a cactus for his mom (fullyexpecting some rebuke for finding
a way to the top of the Insensitive Sons list)and was very surprised (and, I will admit,a tiny bit relieved) to find that she had soldmore than 80 cacti that very day, expresslyfor “lucky” moms all over Maple Ridge.
The gift-giving portion of Mother’s Day ispast, and I have discovered a small truth.Most moms have all the knick-knacks theycould ever want, and really do only wishan “I love you” from their kids… but if youhappen to buy her a cactus, make certainshe knows it in no way is a reflection of herpersonality.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom, I love you.Phil C. Ransom, Maple Ridge

Dear Editor,Recently, Canadians have raised con-
cerns about the Temporary Foreign WorkerProgram being used by some employers toreplace Canadians with foreign workers.Our government’s priority is to ensure thatCanadians get first crack at available jobs intheir area.
Our responsibility is to Canadians,which is why we launched a review ofthe Temporary Foreign Worker Programas per our commitment made to taxpayersin Economic Action Plan 2013. We movedquickly to identify and correct any problemsthat may prevent qualified Canadian work-ers from being given first chance at jobs.
First, we are mandating that companiesmust produce a solid plan to transition fromthe use of foreign workers to Canadians –that means training Canadians, if necessary.This will ensure that temporary foreignworkers do not become permanent fixturesand long-term solutions.
We are also ensuring that we hold com-panies accountable, by increasing ourauthority to revoke work permits for thosecompanies that do not play by the rules.
We are asking additional questions as partof the application process to ensure thatwhen employers bring in temporary foreignworkers no Canadian workers are displacedas a result.
Also, we will require that employers usingthe Temporary Foreign Worker Program paytemporary foreign workers at the prevailingwage for a job.
These are just a few of the reforms we areintroducing. These changes will strengthenand improve the Temporary Foreign WorkerProgram to support our economic recoveryand growth. You can expect more changesto be announced in the coming months.MP Randy Kamp, Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission

Dear Editor,Once again I find myself
at the keyboard after read-ing that Maple Ridge issuing its ex-mayor [MapleRidge sues its formermayor, May 10, www.mrtimes.com].
I enjoy reading GordyRobson, and thought hemade a good mayor.
Gordy does have a waywith the truth. In the past,the Maple Ridge bylaws
office has been out of touchwith reality and local busi-ness. Just ask any businessperson.
Gordy poked the bearand the bear bit back. It ispayback time for the bylawsoffice [Time to revamparchaic bylaws, May 7 JustSaying, TIMES].
So what if the golf courseis not zoned right? Sochange the zoning. It hasbeen done several times
before: once with theGolden Ears Cheesecrafters,and again with the newpark on Dewdney and 256thStreet.
It is much better to allowthe existing golf course tooperate than to turn pro-ductive land into fallowfarmland, destroying a lotof good work, denying thelittle pleasures of a game ofgolf, and also the positiveissue of charities and churchgroups that have benefited.
Gordy also mentionedthe tax ratio, commercial toresidential. Maple Ridge hasthe poorest ratio in all theLower Mainland, on a percapita basis.
Pitt Meadows and Missionsurge forward with newbusiness, but not MapleRidge. Pity.
Why is Maple Ridge coun-cil so backward? Why hascouncil broken its electionpromise to bring commercialdevelopment to town?
Just saying.Jim Bulpit, Maple Ridge

Afew months agosome of our muni-cipal councillorsgot their shirts in
knot. Despite their hopesand wishes for the develop-ment of the downtowncore, things were not goingwell.
Their plans and aspira-tions for our downtownwere apparently beingheld up by a few propertyowners who, for one reason or another,were not ready to develop now in the waythey wanted it. They sounded frustrated,and publicly lamented that there shouldbe a law that would force private land-owners to develop their lands. (I know…it sounds like Russia!)
There is an incredibly ironic story here.In the 1970s, the municipality, through
its one-man planning and developmentdepartment of BillBurrell, who was anincredible contributor toour community, realizedthat, in the future, single-family lots in our corewould be an impedimentto grander buildings.
The area between 227th Street and theland that is now the Haney Place Mallwas what he called “frozen.” Before anydevelopment plans could be accepted,they had to accumulate at least three lots.
A few years ago, the lots were pur-chased by a company that was con-nected to the casino business, and theyenvisioned a large, mixed-use develop-ment that included a casino.
When BC Lotteries indicated there wasno support for a large casino in Maple
Ridge, BC Lotteries encour-aged the municipality toendorse a gaming centre.
The municipal officials ofthe day persuaded Lotteriesselected contractor, GreatCanadian Gaming Corp.,to undertake developmentof the community’s worstongoing environmentalcontamination at LougheedHighway and 227th Street.
By agreeing to developthat property, Great Canadian under-took to clean up the toxic environmentalresidue from the previous cement plant,radiator business, and a host of chemicals(lead and zinc amongst them) that were inthe soil.
The creek that ran through there hadbeen declared dead. Cleanup is underway.
That decision brings us back to theproperty that had been accumulated for
the purpose of a casino.The developer put the
property on the market,and surprisingly, themunicipal council boughtthe property with taxpay-ers’ money well over ayear ago.
After spending more of our tax dollarson studies and consultants, the currentcouncil has now decided to hold the landit bought off the market.
So while our councillors were com-plaining about the people who wouldn’tdevelop the land, the largest offender wasthem, with our money.
Just saying…Gordy Robson’s column appears Tuesdays in the print and/or
online versions of The TIMES. Questions and reactions can beemailed c/o [email protected].

Third annual tournament hopes to raisemoney and exposure to fix up a localballpark in Maple Ridge.by Peter FrancisSpecial to The TIMES
Maple Ridge will be hosting an elite-levelmen’s baseball tournament at HammondStadium from May 16 to 21.
The tournament will feature eight teams fromfive different leagues. The Maple Ridge Jerksand Dewdney Bulls, from the Lower MainlandBaseball Association (LMBA) 18-plus league,will host the 15-game tournament.
Last year the Richmond Athletics won thetournament in a tightly contested matchup withthe hometown Jerks.
“We weren’t happy losing our tournament,especially to a league rival, on our home fieldlast year,” said Jerks manager Matt MacLean.
“This year will be different as we fully intendon keeping the trophy in Maple Ridge,” he con-tinued.
The Jerks are a perennial powerhouse inthe LMBA 18+ league as they won the LMBAWorld Series in 2011 and have won their div-
ision title the past four seasons.The roster is comprised of many former BC
Premier Baseball League and college play-ers but most were also members of RidgeMeadows Minor Baseball teams that broughtmidget division Western Canadian gold toMaple Ridge in both 2000 and 2001. Many ofthe teams in this tournamentare bolstered by some heavyMaple Ridge content.
For instance, the CoquitlamAngels (PMBL) have ros-tered former local talentsuch as: Scott Tulloch, KurtisSchumacher, Brent Muirhead,and Shawn Schaefer. Afterleaving Maple Ridge, Schaefferended up pitching for the UBC Thunderbirdsand also Cumberland University in Tennesseewhere he won the NAIA World Series and wasnamed an NAIA 1st team All-American in 2010.
The Jerks will feature former draft pick of theLos Angeles Dodgers, minor league player andhometown hero Graig Merritt in their lineup.
On Saturday evening the games will pausefor the Billy Miner Pub sponsored “Bash forCash” Home Run Derby.
The home run derby will include two slug-
gers from each team including last year’schampion from the Richmond Athletics Davidvan Ostrand, who was a draft pick of the NewYork Yankees in 2006 and played college atCalifornia Polytechnic State University. (The6’6” 215 pounder put on quite a show at lastyear’s event hitting several tape-measure shots
over the parking lot in right fieldat Larry Walker.)
With the District of MapleRidge approving funding forthe complete revamping ofHammond Stadium this eventhopes to prosper and grow evenmore in the future. HammondStadium and Larry Walker Fieldhave a long history of baseball
dating back to the ’50s and ’60s when Haneyand Hammond ball clubs led by historical fig-ures such as Pete Telosky waged war on thesummer’s green grass for local bragging rights.
The Dewdney Bulls and Jerks of Hammondwould love to re-ignite the baseball passion inone of the more historical neighbourhoods intown. Maple Ridge residents are encouragedto come down to the ballpark and support thislocal event while being treated to some excep-tional baseball.

Mother and daughter Marcie and RachelBatty held hands as they crossed the finishline in the Vistas Run, the annual fundraiserfor Ridge Meadows Hospice Society. Anothermother-daughter duo, Kathryn and SusanJones (inset), were the first woman and firstchild to cross the finish line.
One local woman raised $4,700 alone for theRidge Meadows Hospice Society.
Mother-daughter duo Marcie and Rachel Batty crossed thefinish line holding hands and with big smiles on their faces.
“This is our fourth year doing this because my grandmapassed away in hospice,” said Rachel, a Grade 9 Garibaldistudent, about the 16th annual Ridge Meadows HospiceSociety’s Vistas Run at Webster’s Corners in Maple RidgeSunday.
“We do this to give back to the hospice, in honour of mymom, her grandma,” added mom Marcie. “It’s a great wayto give back and you don’t have to participate in the run,you can be a volunteer. It’s a great cause.”
Local realtor Ron Antalek was the first person to cross thefinish line.
When asked how he runs so fast Antalek answered,“probably because I’m skinny!”
“I enjoyed the run... I run to inspire my daughter... I tryto do my best to inspire my daughter to do her best. And inthe interests of hospice that’s why we are here today,” saidAntalek.
According to Kristina Murray – who worked her last dayat the hospice society on Friday and who is being replacedby Juliana Cedanna – there were about 115 runners or walk-ers signed up to participate. Many of those were there withfamily members for Mother’s Day.
Maple Ridge Legion member Margaret Kury, one of adozen all-stars, fundraised the most money for the “All-Stars” category – bringing in $4,700 alone. All together, theevent raised about $9,000.
