Voyageur culture was alive and well during this past weekend’s fifth annual event at the Fort Langley National Historic Site. Pockets of French-Canadian culture thrive in British Columbia. And the origins of those pockets were celebrated during this past weekend’s fifth annual Vive les Voyageurs Winter Festival at the Fort Langley National Historic Site. When the Hudson’s Bay Company first hit the shores of the Fraser River in Fort Langley in 1827, the Voyageur culture was born. From food and crafts to music and bannock, there was plenty for everyone of any age to see

Deal in works for female teacher sex case The Langley teacher charged with sexual assault will likely learn her fate next month. by Matthew Claxton For more information 604.533.2118 development@langleychristian.com www.langleychristian.com
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A judge is expected to hand down a verdict in the case of Deborah Ralph early next
month in a New Westminster courtroom. Ralph is a former Langley teacher who was charged with sexually assaulting a former student. Her trial was scheduled to begin on Jan. 20 in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. However, before the jury could sit in judgement, lawyers for the Crown and defense said they had been having discussions, and expected to reach a “final resolution” that week.
The alleged offenses took place between 1998 and 2001. The victim was “elementary school aged” at the time of the offenses, said Langley RCMP. Ralph taught at James Kennedy Elementary from 1987 to June 2010, then at Langley Fundamental until she was arrested in 2011 when the victim came forward to police. Ralph is now expected back in court on Feb. 7 to hear the final decision on the case.

Emergency response
Blaze claims life of two-year-old boy
A toddler died in a house fire on a rural farm property in North Langley Friday. by Heather Colpitts and Matthew Claxton news@langleyadvance.com
A two-year-old boy died after suffering burns in a house fire in Langley on Friday morning, RCMP confirmed. The fire call came in at 8:36 a.m. on Jan. 24. Firefighters pulled the boy from the burning building near 82nd Avenue and 272nd Street in Glen Valley. “Our crews were responding to a fully involved structure fire with one person unaccounted for,” explained Township fire chief Stephen Gamble. “Our crews performed a rescue and pulled the child out of the building.” They started first aid on the child and B.C. Ambulance took over. There were two parents and two other children at the scene. None of the other victims of the fire were seriously hurt, although there was some minor smoke inhalation, said assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. “Because of the rural area, it was without water supply,” Gamble explained. “We activated our [water] shuttle.” The water shuttle service mean a total of 12 engines were used. Fire crews from five halls (Fort Langley, Aldergrove, Walnut Grove, Otter and Murrayville) responded, using tankers to move water back and forth from the nearest water hookup. The firefighters stayed on the scene for some time snuffing out hot spots in the building. The exact cause of the fire was still not yet known on Monday. “It is determined not suspicious, but still under investigation,” said Ferguson. In the case of a fatal fire, the investigators, who are working with the help of the RCMP, want to be as thorough as possible,
Nick Procaylo/Vancouver Sun
Langley Township fire crews continued their work hours after first responding to the house fire on Jan. 24. Ferguson said. The victims lived on a family farm, and are believed to be staying with other family members. Ferguson said he didn’t know if there were working smoke alarms in the home or not at the time of the fire. Regardless, he urged other residents to test their smoke alarms and replace old batteries
or worn-out alarms. Smoke detectors have a 10-year life span. Around the time of the fatal fire, the fire department was kept busy with a medical call, three alarms and a motor vehicle incident, Gamble said. This fire joins three fatal fires that hit Langley last year, two in Langley City and one in the Township.
Criminal charges
Aldergrove man faces child sex charges
Police allege the suspect breached conditions of release, and he is now in custody again. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
A 41-year-old Aldergrove man faces 16 charges, including ones for serious sexual crimes, over a three-year period. The Langley RCMP has announced charges against Kelly
Glen Isbister. The crimes are alleged to have taken place between June 2010 and October 2013. Isbister is charged with one count of possessing child pornography and two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance. The other charges include four counts of sexual assault, three counts of sexual interference and three counts of invitation to sexual touching. “Initially Isbister was arrested and released from custody with conditions detailed on a recognizance; however police now
allege he has breached those conditions three times,” said Langley RMCP Cpl. Holly Marks. He is also charged with three counts of breach of recognizance. Marks explained that the police will release very few details of the offenses because of issues arising out of publication bans by the courts, and to protect male victims. “Sadly, it is possible there may be other individuals who have fallen victim to similar crimes and have not come forward for a variety of possible reasons,”
Marks added. The RCMP is encouraging anyone who has been a victim of crimes such as the ones alleged in this case or by other people to contact the police. “It can be arranged for Client Support and Victim Services to provide support and assistance, as this may be a very difficult time,” Marks said. Individuals wishing to speak to investigators on this or other similar matters are asked to call Langley Serious Crime Investigator Const. Amanda Smith at 604-514-5806.

Supt. Derek Cooke, the Officer in Charge at the Langley RCMP detachment, as the guest speaker at the Jan. 21 Greater Chamber of Commerce dinner at the Coast Hotel ballroom. Cooke said typically young males between the ages of 16 and 30 commit crimes. With the community’s aging population, that
demographic is shrinking. “No doubt, that is playing a role in the reduction in crime rates,” he said. Cooke listed what he called “cost drivers” that didn’t exist or weren’t prevalent when he began his policing career three decades ago. They include:
• Calls to police by cellphone users. • Offenses that Cooke refers to as “iCrimes.” Street robberies of hand-held electronic devices such as Blackberries, iPhones, iPads, and iPods. “I can say anecdotally that the vast majority of our street robberies are for electronic devices [such as]
iPhones,” Cooke said. “These things didn’t happen 30 years ago, because they didn’t exist, the electronic devices.” • Wire and metal theft. • The closure of the Langley courthouse. When RCMP members attend court, they have to travel to Surrey. “In traffic, that’s about an hour each way, so that’s an hour a day that our officers are driving to court so they’re not policing your community,” he said. • Computer-based crimes. • Fuel costs. • Marijuana grow operations. • Crack cocaine, which
Cooke calls a “plague on society.” He estimated that the “vast majority” of drug addicts in the community are crack cocaine users. • Mental health issues, homelessness, and hospital wait times. • Accidental 911 calls caused by pocket dials, or children playing with phones. • The rise in gang activity. “When I started policing 32 years ago, I might have been able to name a couple gangs,” Cooke said. Today, 180 gangs have been identified in the province; and • training requirements. • More at langleyadvance.com

Ten years to same result
Once again our provincial government has spun for us a cautionary tale. This one is rooted deeply enough in the past to qualify as historic. It was 2002. British Columbians had elected a new government about a year earlier. It was a brand new government. Gordon Campbell’s Liberals had trounced a scandalridden NDP government at the polls with a phenomenal majority. The Liberals had 77 of 79 seats in the legislature, and the NDP, with just two seats, didn’t even qualify for full party status. The Liberals were on a mission, and they tackled it with a vengeance. Anyone who had ever supported the NDP was going to pay for the previous decade. Nurses and health care workers had already been put in their place, and now it was the teachers’ turn. A signed and sealed contract between teachers and their employer – effectively, the province of B.C. – included such provisions as limits to class sizes. No more. The Liberals enacted legislation that effectively nullified that contract. And they virtually dared the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to do something about it. The BCTF took up the gauntlet – and took the government to court. And they won. The court declared the Liberal legislation illegal. But like any a schoolyard bully feeling bolstered by overwhelming might, the Liberal government responded by enacting new legislation… which the courts have again ruled against, awarding the BCTF $2 million in damages. The hard feelings that the Liberals’ illconceived reactionary efforts have engendered won’t abate soon. But there might be some hope… if the government gives up its folly, and finally gives the teachers their court-ordered due. – B.G.

Development plans expected
Dear Editor, We purchased our home in Fernridge 40 years ago, in 1973, shortly after the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) was formed, and could see from the maps that most of the west side of the Township was exempt. Long-term planning destined this to be developed. Brookswood was approximately half built. Here, we would raise our family and the land would also be a long-term investment. Now in retirement, we rebuilt the house where we intend to live out our days. Development is going to be arduous, however the time has come to plan the neighbourhood, and we should make the best of it. We are under no illusions that the area will undergo major transformation, as that is what is involved in urbanizing a rural area. Density should increase, with more multi-family capacity around the commercial core, and more townhouses. We should not use singlefamily zones to increase density by creating small-lot future ghettos with parking problems. Neighbourhoods as nice as Walnut Grove or Murrayville should be worthy standard. Other issues need addressing. The major collector runs directly into Surrey’s Campbell Heights Industrial

People pushed out
Dear Editor, As long-time residents of Brookswood, we have been watching with angst the development planning process of Brookswood/ Griffith [Brookswood redo an uphill battle, Jan. 21, Langley Advance]. Each successive Draft Land Use Plan has seen increased density. There is no concrete plan to preserve the forested areas. Clear-
cuts have already begun. Mayor Jack Froese generously states, “People who live in their homes aren’t going to be pushed out.” It appears Jack still chooses to pretend to be unaware: people want to remain here for the current character of the neighbourhoods. As the trees fall, those people will be pushed out. The existing residents of Brookswood/Griffith who plan and wish to continue living here deserve a voice we currently don’t have.

Lots of opposition to Coulter Berry
Dear Editor, An amusing thing I do these days is reach for my local newspaper as it arrives and read the letters to the editor to see what is being said re: Coulter Berry this week. I find it fascinating – and not very nice – how the steady stream of letters attacking the non-supporters of this project contains suggestions of misinformation and nasty, personal name-calling accompanied with cries of “poor developer.” Check the files and learn the facts. There are hundreds of people from various other groups or personally on record as opposed. Are we not free to support what we wish? Supporters have been called a small group of dilettantes [Anti-Coulter Berry group suspect, Jan. 21 Letters, Langley Advance].
Kinder Morgan
Watch pipeline closely
Dear Editor, Kinder Morgan’s plans are created to benefit Kinder Morgan. Until we have corporations with a mandate to serve the highest and best interests of the public and the planet, we need to watch them closely and intervene as necessary. Council needs to accept that responsibility on behalf of Langley Township. Many are becoming knowledgeable about the hazards we face, and believe that the interests of Canada’s regulatory National Energy Board have been captured by the industry. Valerie McIntyre, Langley
Please let me know what is meant, so I can prepare myself to become one. I may not live in Fort Langley, but I care about what our council allows there. What council allows in one area may affect other areas in the future. A smart developer also knows the risks he takes digging a hole before a building permit is issued. I believe it is time for our council to say, “We got this one wrong,” and get on with an appropriate design. Grace Muller, Langley

Three storeys fit Fort Langley
Dear Editor, The author of the Fort Langley Building Facade Guidelines, Mr. Robert Inwood, is in favour of the Coulter Berry project. He made it abundantly clear that guidelines have to be flexible enough to allow for innovative designs, or a sameness will develop that will inevitably detract from the protected area. He was also clear that three storeys could fit into the town. Heritage isn’t something that existed only in the past. What will be history tomorrow is being made today. There are more things to worry about than whether or not another three-storey building is built on a vacant commercial lot in Fort Langley.

Langley’s own Brett Lawrie, third baseman with the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team, donated a jersey to a recent charity auction held by John Pybus, event founder and owner of Murrayville Town Pub. The event raised about $42,000 for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley and Langley Child Development Centre. The jersey, which Lawrie personally autographed for winner Rod Hampton, netted $600.
Since shifting his job title from Langley City mayor to B.C. Minister of Education last year, Peter Fassbender has been spotted all over the province, including this stop at Thomas Haney Secondary School in Maple Ridge last month.

Hockey
Fans flock to Punjabi voices of Hockey Night “It just opens up the borders that much more. The game’s that great, that it should be open for all cultures and all languages.”
The men behind the mics were in Langley on the weekend. by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Hockey isn’t just a North American and European sport – it’s truly global. And in a nation such as Canada which embraces multiculturalism, it appeals to a cornucopia of ethnic groups. To whit: the growing popularity of CBC’s Hockey Night In Canada (HNIC) Punjabi and its hosts, play-by-play announcer Harnarayan Singh and colour commentators Bhola Singh Chauhan and Inderpreet Cumo. During the National Hockey League season, they call Saturday night doubleheaders involving the Canadian teams, and during the post-season, they follow one series per round all the way to the Stanley Cup final, Singh explained. The trio was at Preston GM on the Langley Bypass on Sunday afternoon. For more than three hours, they sat behind the HNIC desk, signing autographs and visiting with their legion of fans. The 29-year-old Singh is in his seventh season calling games with CBC’s HNIC Punjabi and brings a familiar voice to Canada’s South Asian community every Saturday night. As a visible minority youngster growing up in Southern Alberta, Singh was able to use his love of hockey to connect with other classmates, he told the Langley Advance. “It really broke the ice with them,” he said. “When I reflect back on it, I became very obsessive-compulsive with the game of hockey.” Outside of his duties with CBC, Singh enjoys playing tabla and harmonium, which he has

Hockey Night In Canada (HNIC) Punjabi colour commentators Inderpreet Cumo (left) and Bhola Singh Chauhan flanked their colleague Harnarayan Singh, who provides the play-by-play analysis for HNIC Punjabi. The three TV personalities visited Preston GM on the Langley Bypass Sunday afternoon to meet fans and sign autographs. performed across Canada, the U.S., and India. Cumo, 32, brings a vast knowledge of hockey to his role with CBC and counts calling the 2012 Stanley Cup final alongside Singh and Chauhan as the high-
light of his career, to date. “I just love the game,” Cumo said. “Growing up in Canada that’s what you always see, what you always talk about. It’s such a great game, and… with us [broadcasting games]

in Punjabi, it just opens up the borders that much more. The game’s that great, that it should be that open for all cultures and all languages.” Chauhan, 47, is not only an analyst, he co-hosts the weekly
HNIC Punjabi podcast. He also provides play-byplay and analysis for Canadian kabaddi tournament matches, hosts various Punjabi radio shows, and writes for numerous Punjabi newspapers around the world. He said hockey continues to gain popularity amongst IndoCanadians. “We are in our seventh season and it’s growing year in and year out,” he said. “So it’s growing very fast.” While fans are found across the country, the most popular teams amongst Indo-Canadians are the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks, in Singh’s opinion. “Just based on demographics and the population of the South Asian communities, there,” he said. Asked what teams they lean towards, the three weren’t biting. They remain neutral. “Growing up we all did [have our favourite teams] but of course, now we’re totally unbiased,” Singh said. “The Canadian teams are all who we’d like to see be successful.” “It’s fun calling all Canadian [teams’] games, especially with the success that the Canadian markets are having,” Cumo added. All three believe their job continues to be a learning process. “For all of us, the terminology we’re using, how comfortable we are… it’s been a lot of fun and I really see that all of us are gradually improving a lot,” Singh said.

Vancouver’s head coach and players showed their frustration after blowing a five-goal lead in a loss to the Edmonton Rush. by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com
Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre, 3,840 fans saw the Vancouver Stealth crumble before their eyes. The Stealth appeared poised to hand the National Lacrosse League’s lone undefeated team, the Edmonton Rush, its first loss of the season. Langley’s pro lacrosse team led 7-2 after the first half on the strength of two goals each from Rhys Duch and Lewis Ratcliff and singles from Cliff Smith, Brett Hickey, and Ilija Gajic. But depending on which side you take, the second half featured either a meltdown of epic proportions from the Stealth, or a monumental comeback by the Rush, who out-scored the home team 7-1 through the final two quarters to win 9-8. This was a tale of two halves, noted Stealth head coach Chris Hall. “We were so successful in the first half; we were getting the middle of the floor and cutting hard, and moving the ball swiftly, and really played our best half
so far this season,” he said. “But when you have an opportunity to put teams away, you need to put them away. And we didn’t. We sat on our heels and we got outshot dramatically in the second half, and that tells you that our offence was not attacking.” Hall didn’t mask his disappointment. “That’s a terrible loss at home after we played so well in the first half – a terrible loss,” he said. “We have to learn how to win lacrosse games; we have to learn how to put teams away. In this league, really no lead is safe. You can’t play hard, which we did, for 30 minutes, and then try to sit on [a lead] for the next 30.” Somewhere along the line, Hall added, the Stealth need to develop winners. “Winners don’t lose those kinds of games at home,” he said. “Winners win those games.” “I think we were playing more so not to lose, rather than to win,” lamented Stealth defenceman Tyler Garrison. “We let up. We just started to spiral downhill and you can see the result.” Garrison said the Stealth were looking for a spark that just wasn’t there in the second half. “We couldn’t get anything going,” he said. “I couldn’t win a face-off in the last half to save my life.” He added, “We didn’t come to play. We thought we had it in the bag, up 7-2 at half. We got what
Edmonton Rush goaltender Brodie MacDonald made a save on a scoring attempt by sprawling Vancouver Stealth forward Lewis Ratcliff. MacDonald backstopped the Rush to a 9-8 win. Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Stealth collapse ‘embarrassing,’ ‘ not acceptable’

we deserved, how we played in the second half.” Meanwhile, the win keeps the powerful Rush undefeated at 4-0. For the Stealth, the loss stings. Along with blowing a five-goal lead, they also saw their modest undefeated streak at the LEC snapped at two games. And, heading into this Friday’s road game in Toronto against the Rock, being 3-2 and coming off a win over arguably the NLL’s top team looks a whole lot better than being 2-3 and knowing that you let one slip away. Hickey, who finished with a goal and an assist in his regular season debut with Vancouver, said the Stealth got away from the things that made them successful in the opening half. “We’ve just to make sure we play the full 60 [minutes] and it didn’t happen tonight,” he said. This is a loss the Stealth can learn from, in Hickey’s opinion. “We have to take what we can from this game, and make sure we take what we did in the first half and bring it over to next week, and take what we did in
the second half and put it behind us,” he said. Defenceman Mike Grimes echoed his teammate’s sentiments: “We have to take this as a learning experience. The next 24 hours we’re going to think about what happened here tonight and after that we’re going to switch our focus.” This was an opportunity for the Stealth to “see where we were at against the best in the league,” Grimes said. “We were pretty fired up coming out of the gates. We got off to a great start and did the things we wanted to do, and we kind of got away from that in the second half, and the wheels just kind of fell off for us,” he said. The Stealth weren’t able to find an answer for the Rush’s ball control offence, which struck for three goals during the third quarter and four more in the final stanza. In the process, the visitors spoiled a fine goaltending performance by Vancouver’s Tyler Richards, who stopped 49 of 58 Edmonton shots.
“T-Rich played unbelievable back there,” Garrison said. “He lets in nine goals on 60 shots and we can’t win him the game? It’s embarrassing.” “We let them win that game,” Richards said. “We lost it ourselves. We’re more than capable of competing with that team any night we play them. We’ve just got to put it all together for the full 60 [minutes].” The Stealth’s goaltender gave the Rush credit. “They’re a great team and we knew they weren’t going to quit,” he said. “We just kind of sat back on our heels and let them take it to us. We got the result we deserved with the way we played in the second half.” Leading the Rush to victory were Curtis Knight and Mark Matthews, each with two goals and three assists. Hulking 6’7” goaltender Brodie MacDonald, Matthews’ teammate during the “off” season with the Western Lacrosse Association’s Langley Thunder, replaced starter Aaron Bold 15:16 into the game. continued on page A14…

Rush mounts huge comeback …continued from page A13 MacDonald made 27 saves and surrendered four goals, including just one late one in the second half, to earn the victory. The only marker he allowed after the break was a low, blistering shot from Duch, who completed his hat trick in a losing effort. “Brodie was unbelievable for them in the second half. He shut the door and

carried their team to victory,” Grimes said. Meanwhile, Hall wasn’t making any excuses for his team. “Did Brodie MacDonald come in and play well? Yes, he did. But still: one goal in an entire half of lacrosse at home, and it came with less than two minutes to go, and lose by a goal? That’s not acceptable.”

Eco-friendly - Getting kids to go green
Eco-friendly lifestyles aren’t just for adults. Encouraging kids to go green at a young age can set them up for a lifetime of making decisions with the environment in mind. The following are just a few ways parents can impart a sense of responsibility to the environment on their youngsters.
on televisions, computers or handheld devices, use a substantial amount of energy. Parents who encourage more eco-friendly activities, such as reading or playing outside, can get the best of both worlds, as kids will be getting out and about and embracing activities that don’t harm the planet.
• Lead by example. Many kids try to mimic their parents’ behaviors, and moms and dads can take advantage of that by making sure kids see them as they recycle, conserve water or make other eco-conscious choices. If kids want to know why you’re separating trash or opting for tap water over bottled water, explain to them the positive impact that such behaviors can have on the health of the planet.
• Ride bicycles more often. Reducing fuel consumption is one of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint and even though kids can’t drive, that doesn’t mean they can’t pitch in to conserve fuel. Children who attend school close to home can ride their bikes rather than taking the bus or hitching a ride with mom or dad. Explain to youngsters the impact that such a choice can have on the environment and ride bikes with your kids whenever possible, be it on trips to the park or to visit friends and family members. Many kids love to ride their bikes and they might like it even more if they understand the positive impact that such a hobby is having on their planet.
• Encourage eco-friendly hobbies. Today’s youngsters have a host of technology at their disposal and parents know full well that such access can be both good and bad. While technology can enhance learning in the classroom and beyond, gaming systems and other electronic devices have made it easy for kids to forgo outdoor activities in favor of more sedentary hobbies. Many medical researchers believe that such hobbies are contributing to higher rates of childhood obesity. But they also can harm the environment. Gaming systems, whether played
Rather than purchasing store-bought decorations for holidays like Halloween or Chanukah and Christmas, reuse old products to craft homemade decorations. Birthday gifts or items exchanged during the holidays can be wrapped in old newspaper instead of store-bought wrapping paper. Many products that would otherwise be discarded can be reused, and kids might enjoy finding new ways to make use of old.
• Teach kids to reuse products. Waste is a significant environmental issue, but reusing products is a great way to cut back on waste. Items that would once be tossed into the trash after serving their purpose can be repurposed when tackling projects around the house, and kids can get in on the act, too.
