MAN WHO BLUDGEONED EX-GIRLFRIEND AND HER PARTNER TO DEATH IN 2001 DENIED EARLIER PAROLE ELIGIBILITY MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
A Langley man who viciously bludgeoned an ex-girlfriend and her common-law partner to death in front of dozens of people in 2001 has lost another appeal. William James McCotter’s appeal to reduce his parole eligibility period for two counts of second-degree murder from 20 years to something nearer to 15 years was dismissed on Jan. 8 in B.C. Court of Appeal in Vancouver. “Twenty-year parole ineligibility order is consistent with similar cases involving multiple homicides and the murder of a former partner,” wrote Court of Appeal Justice Hall. Two other judges agreed. McCotter was picked up by police almost immediately after he brutally kicked and beat his ex-girlfriend, Linda Lee Anderson, and her common-law partner, John Heasman, to death outside their Langley City

apartment on Dec. 2, 2001. A restraining order against McCotter had recently run out. Anderson, a nurse at Langley Lodge, had a brief relationship with McCotter a few years prior, before going out with Heasman. During the trial, it was revealed that McCotter couldn’t let go, once kicking down Anderson’s door, causing her to begin the restraining order process. It was learned that Anderson told a co-worker she thought McCotter would kill her. His trial heard that on the day of the murders he stalked the pair and purchased a jock strap and steel-toed boots. He parked outside their apartment, got out and used the boots to kick both his victims in the head repeatedly. Several people tried to intervene but McCotter found a 2x4 and swung it at the men before using it on his near-dead victims. Continued Page 11

Monday’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling that rejected the provincial government’s effort to keep class size and special needs support off the bargaining table is a big win for teachers and students, said Langley Teachers’ Association Gail Chaddock-Costello. “We are very supportive of our special needs students, but numbers do matter,” said Chaddock-Costello. The government stripped class size limits and composition from a contract with the B.C. Teachers Federation, including how many special needs students could be in one classroom and the level of supports of Special Education Assistants (SEAs). “Now we have classes in Langley with five or sometimes as many as eight special needs students, all who require individualized lesson plans,” she explained. “The students may have high functioning autism or various degrees of special needs. But it makes for an impossible task for teachers and impacts

Man wanted for knife attack MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
HARRY HUNT Black Press
Alzheimer Walk for Memories honorees Randy Bysouth and Diana Francis cut the ribbon to officially begin the Langley-Aldergrove-Abbotsford event on Sunday (Jan. 26). Bright sunshine made for a good day to walk and raise funds for the Alzheimer Society of B.C.
Langley RCMP have issued an arrest warrant for man wanted on charges related to a domestic violence situation. Ronald Charles Joseph Seed, 28, is charged with two counts of assault with a weapon and one count of assault causing bodily harm for an incident that took place Nov. 10, 2013. Seed is accused of breaking into an ex-girlfriend’s residence in the 20200 RONALD CHARLES block of 53 Avenue JOSEPH SEED and attacking both her and her male visitor. Seed held two knives and used them on the male visitor, who sustained a cut to his arm. Seed also punched him in the head. Seed’s ex-girlfriend also sustained a cut to her arm. He is described as Caucasian, 5’8” tall, 185 pounds with short brown hair. If you have any information that would assist police to execute this arrest warrant, call Langley RCMP.
Langley City to take action on abandoned buildings BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
Allowing a building to sit empty and unsecured in the City of Langley could soon become a costly oversight. On Monday, City council voted unanimously to impose a fine of $500 per day upon owners whose buildings sit unoccupied or abandoned for 30 days or more, should they fail to secure the structures against squatters or vandalism. The move comes as the municipality searches for a way to address the issue of abandoned and derelict properties within its boundaries. “Often, the problems associated with an unoccupied building are the result of a property sale prior to subdivision, rezoning and development applications,” reads an explanatory memo regarding the bylaw. “In such instances, it is not uncommon
for a property to become derelict as the pending sale is finalized, there being little interest by … the owner to maintain the property.” Last spring, a group of City residents appeared before council to complain about the state of a number of homes in their neighbourhood which had been sold to developers and then “essentially abandoned.” Barbara Scott, a 40-year resident of the area of 200A - 201 Street and 53A - 53B Avenue told council last May that the neighbourhood she and her husband had been happy to call home for the first 35 years, had deteriorated to the point that it could be considered a slum. Following their sale, some houses had been rented out while others were simply trashed and then boarded up, Scott told council.
And until the previous year, the properties had not been maintained, she said. “Lawns were seldom mowed, the boulevard was left to grow until the grass and weeds were a foot tall.” Scott said it was only after residents complained frequently to the City that a tenant of one of the houses was hired to cut the grass. At the same time, she said, fences have been “left to lean any which way.” Fears that the empty buildings were being used as flophouses also caused neighbours to be worry about their security, Scott added. Once the new bylaw passes final reading, the issuing of daily fines will allow the City to recover the cost of having staff deal with abandoned buildings, said Carolyn Mushata, the City’s manager of legislative services.

“We hope the fines will outweigh the costs of maintaining the properties in a secure manner.” Until the passage of the new bylaw, which received first, second and third reading on Jan. 27, the only authority the City holds is through its fire-related legislation. If a building is damaged in a fire, the municipality can require that it be secured for health and safety reasons, Mushata explained. However its only recourse for abandoned buildings, to date, has been to talk to owners and ask them to comply. “What about empty buildings the owners are trying to rent but are unable? I was told we’d not enforce that. Is there anything in writing?” asked Councillor Jack Arnold. “We’d still enforce it if the property became a nuisance and if it’s not secured,” replied Mushata.

Petition calls for licence fees MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A man who commutes on the Port Mann Bridge regularly has started a petition, and believes he has come up with an alternative that could remove the “unfair” tolls. Gary Hee, who lives in Clayton Heights on the Langley/Surrey border, is proposing a $40 fee to be applied to everyone’s licence plate fee. “As local residents we bear most of the cost while other communities have bridges with no tolls,” said Hee. He points to how absurd it is that commercial and regular vehicles can use the Coquihalla Highway, the Sea-to-Sky Highway, and the new South Fraser Perimeter Highway for free every day. “We residents are burdened by this added living expense which reduces our standard of living in one of the most prosperous provinces of Canada,” he said. Hee has been successful before. He
has been campaigning and getting signatures to have a light put in and safety improvements made at the intersection of 196 Street and 72 Avenue. Both the Township of Langley and Surrey have since agreed a light was warranted on the busy road. Hee said the licence fee has been floated before but hasn’t been looked at for a while. A controversial $75 car tax was nixed after massive public opposition more than 12 years ago. The provincial government has been asked to consider universal road tolling, but Premier Christy Clark has opposed that. In the meantime, TransLink is again trying to figure out how to pay for all it is doing and the province is looking to create a referendum question, asking the public how they would like to pay for road and transit improvements. To sign Hee’s petition, go to his website nobridgetollsinbc.com.

Two Langley residents will go to West Timor, Indonesia to assist in building a classroom for an elemenatry and high school. A concert Friday will raise funds for their trip.
Concert benefits West Timor MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
A 20-year-old Langley woman, Esther Souman, is organizing a classical concert in hopes to raise money for a mission trip to West Timor where a team of young people will build classrooms and teach. The concert is called “Cakes and Classics” and takes place at the Langley Canadian Reformed Church on Friday, Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m. This will be Souman’s third trip to West Timor. The teams come from both Australia and Canada, and are called “Wings to Work,” In Canada, team members typically come from the Canadian Reformed churches. Two members
are from Langley this time, she said. Every time a team goes to West Timor, it focuses on a new project — usually a building project, said Souman. This year’s team is raising funds to build a classroom for a newly set-up elementary and high school. “We also hope to teach English while we are there and hold some medical and hygiene seminars,” she said. This year many from the group are high school students from the Ontario area. The semi-formal evening promises to be very enjoyable, with many from Souman’s own family playing in the concert. Those providing the concert
are: Frank Ezinga, an organist in the Langley Canadian Reformed Church, Annette Souman (Souman’s mother) is on flute, Karin Deddens (soprano), who is a voice major at Kwantlen Polytechnic University; Andrea Pedro (piano), a music major studying piano performance with Jane Heyes at Kwantlen; and Judith Souman (her sister) on viola, a music major studying viola with Nikita Pogrebnoi, also at Kwantlen. They will be playing pieces by Brahms, Bach, Liszt, Mozart, Albinoni, Andrew Lloyd Webber and many others. The LCRC is at 21804 52 Ave. Admission is by donation and includes refreshments at the intermission.

Question langeytimes.com
A court decision on Monday awarding the B.C. Teachers Federation $2 million in damages, and ordering a return to class size and composition provisions in a teachers’ contract from almost 15 years ago, is almost certain to lead to political strife. Some estimates suggest the cost of the judgment to taxpayers could total $1 billion. If that indeed is the case, the provincial government is almost certain to appeal, as Premier Christy Clark hinted on Tuesday. The ruling by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin speculated (because there is no hard evidence on the record, due to cabinet confidentiality) that the provincial government deliberately stalled on renegotiating the class size and composition provisions with the BCTF in 2011. Griffin was the author of an earlier court ruling calling for new legislation within a year. In her ruling, she stated “(Negotiators’) strategy was to put such pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representatives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political support for imposing legislation on the union.” Nothing else in the lengthy ruling, other than a suggestion that cabinet documents back up this assertion, offers any proof. Those cabinet documents have not been released, but were used as evidence in the trial. The class size and composition provisions were inserted in a contract imposed by the former NDP government on school boards. They had resisted, fearing that the rigid guidelines would make it very difficult to properly staff classrooms. In fact, what happened is that classrooms which were one student over the limit were sometimes split in two, or the extra student was transported to another school. While this certainly benefited teachers, its impact on students was questionable. There is no doubt that if classes are too large, it has an impact on how students learn. And the number of special needs students in a classroom must be at a manageable level. But hard and fast limits, imposed by a judge, will be costly to taxpayers, and have limited benefit for students.

Bleak postal future they
It is disappointing to those who continue to use Canada Post to send and receive mail. However, the Crown corporation’s decision to do away with door-to-door delivery in urban areas is anything but a surprise. Canada Post is only the latest in a long line of institutions caught in the technological revolution that is the Internet. As publishers of this newspaper, we know better than most the challenges the technology has presented. However, the Internet is not going anywhere, so we adapt or die — and that includes Canada Post. While the postal workers’ union continues to point to the 2012 profit realized by Canada Post, it often neglects to add the fine print found in Canada Post’s 2012 annual report. Yes, Canada Post’s annual report notes a $127 million profit — but it points out clearly that profit would have been a $25 million loss had reductions in sick leave and post-retirement health benefits not been agreed to in the latest collection agreement with its union. In fact, the future looks bleak for the venerable institution, with the Conference Board of Canada predicting Canada Post will lose $1 billion each year by 2020. Even with the delivery decision, the Conference Board estimates annual losses of about $500 million per year by 2020. Mail delivery is not a growth industry and the continual decrease in revenue and pieces of mail sent and received highlights that fact. If this is indeed “an opportunity for the Conservatives to take a leadership role in the extinguishing of union jobs,” as claimed by Kamloops and District Labour Council president Peter Kerek, and if there is indeed money to be made on the existing Canada Post model, surely a private company will step into the breach and realize the profit. As we do with that long-lost letter from afar, we suspect we will all be waiting in vain for such a company to fill the door-to-door role being vacated by the Crown corporation. — Kamloops This Week

Hydro ignores repeated requests Editor: I am sending this to you hoping that it will be printed, as the public needs to know how a big corporation as BC Hydro just doesn’t care about its customers. We moved into this residence in Brookswood in October, 2013. We did not receive our first hydro bill, and BC Hydro disconnected our service in November. We never received any notice. When this happened, we paid it right away for the amount of $565 (for just over a month of service). I thought that was quite high for a month of service, but as we had just moved in, we thought we will see what the next bill will be. I received the next bill on Jan. 20. It was for service from Nov. 13, 2013 to Jan. 13, 2014. This bill is for $1,058.81, and is due Feb. 6. I called BC Hydro and asked why it was so high! This is a three-bedroom rancher, there is no dishwasher, I wash all our laundry in cold water, only have the heat turned on slightly in my baby’s room and the living room. I turn off all lights. Hydro said that is what it is. I told them my last residence was larger, with three floors, a basement suite and coach house, three washers and dryers, three dishwashers, all on the same hydro account and never was the bill even close to this. I have asked them to come and check it and they have said no. I was told there is a new hydro meter
here and that is the situation. They have basically refused to come and investigate this situation. It is like maybe someone has hooked up to our power. There is no way on this earth that the hydro can be that much for a small rancher home, with only two adults and one baby living in it. They have said every time I have called that basically they would not come and check it and I should just pay the bill. I just can’t see such a small house costing that much. They can see the amount and are not even concerned. Why? Why such a small place is consuming so much electricity? The landlord told us before we moved in that that hydro is usually about $170 per month. What has happened to make the cost $565 a month? Is the meter faulty? Is someone using our hydro? Why don’t they care? This is just not right. Such a large corporation will not even concern itself with this outrageous amount. We are a young couple with baby, and we want the public to know about BC Hydro’s attitude and response. Please withhold our names because we do not want to get our power cut off again.

Hearts go to firefighters after last week’s tragedy Editor: This is an open letter to our firefighters. Bless your hearts. Most of us do whatever we can in life to protect ourselves from harm’s way. Be it physical or emotional pain, we move away from it, not towards it. Firefighters on the other hand run towards it to help us. We think of them as they do their work and worry about them getting physically injured on the job, and think about how can we keep them safe. But how do we protect their hearts? How do we shield them from the sights beyond imagination and the sounds that will wake them from their sleep for decades? How do we even begin to understand what they have felt when they could not save a young child’s life, and then return home that night and hold their children tight and then return to work? How can we help our firefighters? How can we comfort and honour them every day? We know we can never really protect those hearts of theirs, we know they would not have it any other way. Just to know we care is always a good thing, but I think to understand we know their pain and that our hearts break with them and for them, is important too. I make these comments as the wife of a retired firefighter and mother-inlaw of a Langley Township firefighter. MARILYN PITICCO, LANGLEY

A young couple in Langley cannot get an answer from BC Hydro as to why their bill is three times higher than expected.
Canada Post needs to look hard Editor: Langley Township Councillor Steve Ferguson complains that the community mailboxes he and his neighbours use have been broken into 10 times in the past year. His beef with Canada Post (The Times, Jan.16) has bestirred me to write what I’ve been thinking. Faced with plummeting revenue now that people are using the Internet so much, Canada Post has decided to cease home-by-home delivery service, instead erecting community mailboxes for all, presumably at midway locations sheltered from passing traffic. Old or young, strong or frail, by foot or vehicle, foul weather or shine, we ourselves must expend time to make a daily trip, opening our own box, just in case we have mail. The solution to the problem becomes the problem, as many solutions do: Lost, lent, mislaid or stolen keys, key copying, multiple use by family members or people sharing an apartment, change of residency without key return, not to mention administration complications. But, above all, looms this. Is Canada Post willfully enabling criminals? Everyone becomes open to identity theft. Vulnerable folk might be attacked physically when accessing lonely mailboxes. When statements are stolen without the intended recipient’s knowledge, interest mounts up as bills become past due.
We can guess the fate of any cheques or money orders sent. Then there is the heartless discarding of greeting cards from kindly friends or relatives, which would have brightened a person’s day. No matter how a mailbox is designed, “bad guys” will feel challenged to overcome its technology. This spurs the “good guys” to upstage with new technology, an ironic benefit that has ever prospered the technological evolution — unless it fetters our future freedom. Meantime, our overburdened police force finds its revenue resources strained instead. Cost savings go out the window. My solution is to limit home-by-home mail delivery. The same mail carrier could service two alternating territories — the first one, Monday-Wednesday-Friday one week, Tuesday-Thursday the following week; the second one, Tuesday-Thursday one week, M-W-F the following. This would preserve employment for some mail carriers, eliminating the metal monstrosities as well as mind-boggling crime escalation. Canada Post needs to look, not think. It is supposed to be a service to the community. In the words of an inspired TV ad about accident prevention, “Have a word with yourself.” G. HANCOCK, LANGLEY

Home court advantage is gone for the Walnut Grove Gators, but it appears to have been done for the sake of player safety. Late last month, head coach George Bergen moved his team’s home games from the Walnut Grove Secondary gymnasium to the new Langley Events Centre fieldhouse. The reason? The main gymnasium floor at the high school was proving to be too slippery. “It is a skating rink,” said the long-time coach. “The floor is not safe; it is slippery.” With the Langley School District a partner in the LEC, it is not costing the school or team anything to play their games at the facility. The concerns over the floor go back to last summer.

The Walnut Grove Gators basketball team has moved to the Langley Events Centre after the high school’s gym floor was deemed too slippery for the team to play safely. Mike Cohee, a parent of one of the players on the team as well as an assistant coach, said he was surprised with how quickly the sanding of the floor was done back in August.
“When I inspected it, there were numerous areas that still had the finish from two years ago,” he said. At one of the first practices they had, Continued Page 11

Gym floor blamed for injuries ‘He has all the rights and From Page 10
Cohee said two members of the team slipped and slammed their heads on the floor, cutting themselves in the process. Two others have since suffered sprained ankles and another two have dealt with pulled groins and a third had a strained groin. According to Cohee, some players have come up to him and expressed concern about running too fast on the floor for fear of injury. “(These) kids’ health and safety should be paramount,” Cohee wrote in an email to school principal George Kozlovic and superintendent Suzanne
Hoffman. Since the high school opened 23 years ago — and Bergen has been with the basketball program from the start — the floor has been resurfaced every couple of years. In Bergen’s estimation, that is about 14 times. “It is not a solution,” Bergen said, adding that the ideal situation would be to rip out the floor and start from scratch. He estimated the cost at $40,000. By comparison, the Langley Events Centre put in a completely new floor last year. The facility only opened its doors five years ago.
KPMG EnterpriseTM
According Langley School District spokesperson Ken Hoff, their facilities personnel contacted the manufacturer of the product used in the flooring and after consultation, adjustments were made to the maintenance procedures which resulted in greatly improved floor conditions. A special cleaning product has been incorporated into the maintenance procedure and a ‘scrubber’ has been set up to properly optimize the floor surface. “Since the upgrade to maintenance procedures, the floor is considered suitable and in good condition,” Hoff wrote in an email to The Times.

A jury convicted McCotter in 2006, nearly five years after the crime. McCotter caused delays in his trial by firing several lawyers. Family members of the victims say he continues to make a mockery of the system by finding every aspect of his trial and conviction to appeal — all at the expense of the taxpayers. At trial, counsel for the appellant sought to advance a plea of not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder, but the jury did not accept this. McCotter appealed his conviction but lost in a decision on Feb. 3, 2012. He suggested he may seek to appeal
to the Supreme Court of Canada but has not yet taken steps to do so. For Holly Chamberlain, the nightmare of losing her brother and sisterin-law in this gruesome double murder was bad enough. The grief and the way her brother, 37, and Anderson, 39, were killed left her traumatized. Twelve years later, the man who killed them continues to victimize her family. “When is enough, enough?” asked Chamberlain last February an interview with The Times. “It is beyond belief that he can drag our families through all of this over and over again. “He has all the rights and we have none,” she said.

Plenty of protests over referendum Premier Christy Clark has set off a storm of protest by imposing a referendum on new Lower Mainland transportation improvements, timed with the province-wide municipal elections on Nov. 15. Even if you don’t live in Metro Vancouver, you’re not immune from this long-running saga. Provincial and federal governments use your tax dollars for the big stuff, including the SkyTrain Canada Line to Vancouver airport and the South Fraser Perimeter Road, a new truck route to port facilities at Tsawwassen. Clark has promised a bridge replacement for the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River, which may or may not be tolled like the Port Mann Bridge. The patchwork of Lower Mainland tolls is a growing political liability for the BC Liberal government, and if further tolls are avoided, major works elsewhere in the province may be delayed as the budget is eaten up by the big cities. Clark announced the Massey tunnel replacement in a September 2012 speech to the Union of B.C. Municipalities. In the same speech, she also pledged to complete the four-laning of the last 240 km of the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border. That’s one of the most mountainous stretches of highway in Canada, and the province’s cost was estimated at the time to be $650 million over 10 years.

Clark said. “That’s what the mayors have been saying.” Clark has previously insisted that a referendum on new funding sources for new transit and roadworks be held Nov. 15.

Urban Fare will also present Chopping Block on the 22nd, with four home chefs competing against each other to emerge victorious.

To celebrate Chinese New Year, the next eight buyers of G3’s Phase 2 homes will be able to choose a lucky red envelope that will reveal a discount ranging from $6,888 to $8,888 off the purchase of their new home, which will be ready for occupancy in March.
Beauty comes in threes at Guildford’s G3 By Kerry Vital
Three is a lucky number at G3 Residences, an exciting condominium development in Surrey’s Guildford neighbourhood that features three buildings with a wide variety of floor plans, suitable for the needs of all discerning buyers. Right now, there is an exciting offer at G3! To celebrate Chinese New Year, the next 8 buyers of G3’s Phase 2 homes will get to pick a lucky red envelope that will reveal a
discount ranging from $6,888 to $8,888 off the purchase of their beautiful new home, ready for move-in March 2014! There are numerous benefits for being a G3 Residences homeowner. For one, this residential development offers its buyers ultimate convenience. Its location is key, central to the blossoming Guildford community. Buyers have easy access to the Port Mann Bridge, giving them quick entry into neighbouring areas of the Lower Mainland. As sales manager, Margaret Bird says, “the quality here is excellent … it’s been especially appealing to first-time buyers. We’ve seen a huge draw from Fraser Heights with parents wanting their kids to live nearby. You’re within walking distance to so much.” One of the most impressive things about G3 Residences is the beautiful views from some of the homes. “From the north-facing
homes you can see the (North Shore) mountains,” says Bird. “From the east-facing homes, you can see Mount Baker and that area. It’s gorgeous.” As completion nears, Bird points out that many of the floor plans available now are unique. “They’re one-off plans where they’re the only one in the building,” she says. Additionally, within walking distance to G3 is the newly renovated Guildford Town Centre, the Guildford Recreation Centre inclusive of a public library, fitness centre, and soon-to-be an aquatic facility, restaurants, and schools. The interior details of these homes are also contributors to their popularity among home buyers. These beautifully packaged homes come equipped with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and an eating bar perfect for a quick breakfast or evening cocktail party. Soft-closing cabinetry with brushed
nickel hardware is perfectly lit by the ceiling mounted track lighting and pendant lights. Laminate hardwood flooring is featured throughout the living areas, with lush carpeting in the bedrooms and imported porcelain tile in the kitchen, entry and bathrooms. The bathrooms are elegant and luxurious, with a deep soaker tub, semi-frameless glass shower and chic wall-mounted vanity light. Homeowners can still choose between two designer colour schemes, Sterling and Onyx, and will enjoy the nine-foot ceilings (higher on the top floor) and convenient frontloading washer and dryers that come with every home. Oversized storage and parking is also included. Residents will also have access to the G3 residents’ lounge, which will include a gym, fireside lounge and a guest suite, among other things The bathrooms are elegant and luxurious, with a deep soaker tub, semi-frameless glass shower and chic wall-mounted vanity light. G3 Residences is truly a balance between contemporary lifestyle and affordability. Available homes start at $149,900 for a studio, $182,900 for a one-bedroom and $223,900 for a two-bedroom. Take advantage of the limited time Chinese New Year offer and visit the G3 showroom at 10439 154th Street, Surrey, open every day except Friday between noon and 5 p.m. to pick up your lucky red envelope!

“Here, we expand their imagination,” said Matchneva. “We show them it’s safe to create.” The space is brightly painted and full of natural light — a principle of Reggio education that makes finding the right location for a new facility a challenge. One thing you won’t find in abundance at Smilestones is plastic. The material is limited not just for health reasons, but again as a component of Reggio philosophy, which stresses the importance of using natural items. Instead, the indoor play centre features polished stones, piles of pine cones, silver ducting material, chemistry goggles and simple wooden toys — all materials Matchneva says encourages children to come up with their own ideas of how to play with them. “Our materials are what you’d call open-ended materials,” said Langley Smilestones co-owner Ashifa Kanani, explaining that the items are changed every week. “Children learn so much better when they’re learning hands-on in a playful way,” she said.

New program will equip educators to teach special needs students It is estimated that one in four classrooms have four or more students with special needs and some 10 per cent of the school population are learners with identified special needs. “The challenge of enabling learners with special needs has never been more evident,� said Trinity Western University education professor Ken Pudlas. “Children who have special needs are often at the margins. Why
wouldn’t we try to help enable them to learn, to remove barriers to their success?� “This degree is for teachers already in the system who want to empower themselves to more effectively meet the needs of all students, even those with exceptional needs,� Pudlas said. Pudlas has designed a new Masters of Arts in Education Studies — Special Education, which will be offered at the university begin-
ning in July. It received approval from the B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education last week. The program will help teachers who wish to improve their capacity to fulfill the ministry mandate to maintain inclusive classrooms that “enable all learners to meet their individual potential� and will increase the number of educators with the skills to provide assessment services.

“TWU’s school of education has always had a commitment to ensure all learners are included and supported in their educational journey by teachers who have prepared to understand, appreciate and address diversity,� said Kimberly Franklin, the dean of TWU’s school of education. The school already requires all education students to complete a course in special education preparation. “Our students are consistently inspired to further their learning after taking this course and many choose to do a minor in special education as one of their teachable subject areas,� Franklin said. “We are looking forward to providing a high quality master’s level program to support teachers in their desire to continue to grow and develop in this area.� It is based on a cohort model in which students form a cooperative learning community and by sharing challenges and solutions, they can enhance their own ability to meet students’ diverse needs. The program has space for 15 students. For more information or to apply, email school.education@twu.ca or phone 604.513.2072.

Junior Thunder readying for season GARY AHUJA Times Sports
They didn’t get everyone they wanted, but the Langley Junior Thunder are pretty happy with the four players they did pick up from Sunday’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League junior draft. The Thunder selected a familiar face with their first round pick, taking Connor McNeill with the fourth overall selection. “He is a strong, physically mature young man,” said Thunder general manager Brock Rose, adding it is hard to find left-handed offensive players. “Connor has great stick skills, good speed and is expected to be an excellent playmaker on the right side on offence for years to come. “We have coveted him for a while, we feel he is going to develop and knows the kids here already so he is well versed with them,” Rose added. McNeill plays his box lacrosse in
Chilliwack, but with no field program in his hometown, he has played for the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association program the past few years. The Thunder had a second first round pick — sixth overall — but with the player they wanted already taken, Rose shipped the pick to Victoria in exchange for a fifth rounder in the draft and first and fourth-rounders in 2015. “I look at the first round picks in these drafts as kids that have got to be ready to start right now and maybe potentially ready to make a junior A team,” Rose said. “We sized it up and … felt that grabbing a first rounder next year was better than keeping a first rounder this year.,” This year’s draft — which was for players born in 1997 — was top heavy on Vancouver Island players in the first three rounds. Five of the eight in the first round are from Vancouver Island and another six
went in rounds two and three. By comparison, the 2015 draft will have more top-end Lower Mainland players, Rose said. Langley had traded away its second and third round picks in the draft when they loaded up at last season’s trade deadline. The team picked transition player Zach Van De Leur of Surrey in the fourth round. He plays his box lacrosse in Langley but his field with Surrey. “He is a gritty defender (who) can be offensively gifted at times and he can defend as well,” Rose said. “He is certainly a mean-spirited defender and you can never have too many of those.” Langley drafted Vancouver’s Wesley Lo in the fifth round. The right-handed offensive player was worthy of being a second round pick in Rose’s estimation. And with the team’s final choice, they drafted Chilliwack’s Bryden
Heisler in the sixth round. The team also added New Westminster’s Stefan Cirillo to complete an earlier trade. The Thunder will begin training next month with the season set to start at the end of April. ••••• Earlier this month, the Thunder traded the playing rights of Johnny Pearson to the New Westminster Junior Salmonbellies. In return, the Thunder picked up the junior A playing rights of Tyler Rutherford and Pearson Willis. They also receive the intermediate playing rights of Parker Willis. Pearson, a Langley Minor Lacrosse Association product, was called up to play 15 games with the Jr. Thunder in 2013 and was third on the team in scoring with 29 goals and 53 points. In five games with the intermediate team, Pearson had 15 goals and 21 points.
The Trinity Western Spartans are ranked number one in the country — and have qualified for the post-season — after taking a pair of matches over the Thompson Rivers WolfPack. The Spartans men’s volleyball team jumped from second to first in the CIS polls after beating TRU 3-1 and 3-0 over the weekend in Kamloops at the Tournament Capital Centre. They improved to 17-1 on the season. “The good news is that we swept a quality opponent on the road,” said Spartans coach Ben Josephson. “The bad news is we performed well below the standard needed to play at this time of year.” He said a big reason for that was the play of the fifth-ranked WolfPack. “They made it hard on us and I don’t think we responded appropriately in our focus on details,” Josephson said. “We were sloppy in our touches and were tentative emotionally.” The Spartans won 3-1 (22-25,27-25,25-20,2514) and 3-0 (25-23,2523,26-24). In the first game, Nick Del Bianco led the team with 17 kills and four blocks while Brad Kufske had 15 kills and four blocks. Saturday’s match saw Ryan Sclater lead the way with 14 kills. The Trinity Western women’s volleyball team is ranked fourth in the country after Continued Page 29

High five for TWU’s Villeneuve It was a game JP Villeneuve is not likely to forget anytime soon. The Trinity Western Spartans forward scored all five goals — including the overtime winner — in a 5-4 victory over the Victoria Vikes on Saturday afternoon in B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League action. The Spartans also won 6-5 the night before to snap a ninegame losing streak as they improved to 7-10 while Victoria fell to 2-11-0-3. Both games were played at the Ian Stewart Complex in
Victoria. Victoria rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the first game to force overtime, while Trinity Western came back from the same deficit in the second. “This wasn’t an easy weekend by any stretch, but we’re happy to get all four points and hopefully we can continue to match this effort as the season continues,” said Trinity Western coach Barret Kropf.
The Spartans host SFU at the Langley Events Centre tomorrow (Friday). ••••• Trinity Western University’s Fiona Benson competed in the McGill Team Challenge. Benson won the 1500m event in a time of 4:27.54, which put her atop the CIS individual rankings and automatically qualified her for the national championships. The Spartans are No. 8 in the national rankings.
Hoop teams can’t contain WolfPack completing a weekend sweep of the WolfPack, also in Kamloops. The Spartans began the season at 2-3 but have won 12 of their past 13 matches, including nine straight, to improve to 14-4 and qualify for the Canada West playoffs. Both matches against the WolfPack were three-set sweeps 3-0 (25-11, 25-12,25-11) and 3-0 (25-12,25-13,25-20). Sophie Carpentier led the way both nights. She finished with 12 kills, three aces, nine digs and a block assist on Saturday. This came on the heels of an 11kill, four blocks and four dig performance. Alicia Perrin also had 10 kills and seven blocks. ••••• The Trinity Western Spartans rally came up short as they dropped a 81-74 decision to the Thompson Rivers WolfPack on Saturday night at the Langley Events
Centre. The Spartans trailed by 11 after the third quarters and cut the lead to two points with two minutes to play, but could not complete the comeback. The WolfPack also won at the LEC the night before, 90-75. In that game, the visitors
used a 28-16 advantage in the fourth quarter to pull away. The Spartans fell to 7-9. The TWU women’s basketball team also dropped both games against the visiting WolfPack, losing 59-44 and 63-51 to fall to 3-13. Kayla Gordon led
the way in the first game for Trinity Western with 13 points and seven rebounds while Laurissa Weigl had 14 points and 11 rebounds in the second game. Both Spartan basketball teams host Brandon on Friday (6 p.m.) and Regina on Saturday (5 p.m.).

Pummeled by the league-leaders on Saturday night, the Valley West Hawks rebounded by knocking the Vancouver Giants out of top spot Sunday afternoon. The Giants, tied with the Okanagan Rockets for first place in the BC Hockey Major Midget League before their two-game set with the Hawks, trounced Valley West 9-1 in Burnaby Saturday. But the Hawks handed the Giants just their fifth loss of the season the next day at the Langley Events Centre, scoring three unanswered third period goals for a 6-4 victory. Okanagan, which won twice on the weekend, takes over sole possession of first place with a 254-1 (won-lost-tied) mark, following by the Giants at 24-5-1. The Hawks are in third at 20-11-1, three points up on the 17-11-4 Vancouver Chiefs. Langley’s Jesse Lansdell had the lone Hawks goal in the defeat. Sunday’s game began the same as Saturday’s with the Giants jumping ahead 3-0 after one period. But Valley West scored six of the final seven goals for the 6-4 victory. Langley’s Eric Callegari tallied the winner with 10 minutes to play. Matt Bradley (Surrey) led the way with two goals and an assist while David Koch (White Rock) had one goal and two helpers. Jordan Funk (Cloverdale) and Paul Savage (Surrey) had the other goals. The Hawks are back at it this weekend against the ninth-place Fraser Valley Thunderbirds. The teams play in Abbotsford on Saturday and at the LEC (3:30 p.m.) on Sunday.

Predictions of Hybrid extinction are premature Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently equated hybrid vehicles to early amphibians that hopped out of the oceans, learned to survive on land and eventually disappeared. Ironically, if the electric vehicle (EV) evolved in a similar way, Tesla (an exclusively EV company) wouldn’t exist right now and this would probably be in a vibrant Hybrid Age! Despite the early birth of production EV, hybrid (HEV) and now plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) sales continue to rise, new models continue to arrive and at least three all-new PHEVs are expected later this year. A HEV functions just like, or similar to, a conventional gas-engine vehicle, from a driver/ owner perspective. It consumes substantially less fuel, especially in an urban environment, and a regenerative braking system can greatly extend the life of brake friction pads. A PHEV increases the
energy saving, money saving, and greenhouse gas reducing advantages by tapping into an elec-

trical source and pulling relatively inexpensive electrical power off the main grid. It then uses this energy to go further on electrical power alone. How far depends primarily on the capacity (size) of its storage battery, but also on the drive system, the terrain and weather conditions and how the PHEV is driven. Lugging around a bigger battery obviously increases the weight of a PHEV and it takes up either passenger cabin or more likely trunk cargo space. The latest lithium-ion battery packs are lighter and more compact, but the space sacrifice is something that a prospective
owner must be willing to live with. Hybrid owner feedback is generally very positive and the fuel savings can be substantial. That said, you generally pay a premium for this technology, but that gap is rapidly narrowing. Last year, GM slashed $5,000 off the price of its popular Chevrolet Volt, the best selling PHEV on the market. While GM marketing promotes the Volt as an “extended range” electric vehicle, as its road wheels are always driven by an electric motor, it’s still classified as a PHEV. A small on-board gas engine generates electricity, when necessary. The new Honda Accord Hybrid (a HEV) further blurs the differences between HEV and PHEV, as it uses the same two-motor powertrain used in the Accord Plug-in Hybrid (a PHEV edition that’s currently only sold in selected markets). At speeds under 80 km/h the road wheels are driven by an electric motor and its
Atkinson cycle gas engine is only used to generate electrical power, when needed. The current list price for an Accord EX-L is $29,455 and the Accord Hybrid starts at $29,590, which is only $135 more. The top-line Accord Touring V6 sells for $35,400 and the Touring edition of Accord Hybrid is $36,690, just an extra $290. The price differential is almost non-existent. Choosing HEV or PHEV boils-down to whether an owner can take full advantage of the plug-in electrical storage feature and normal driving commutes are within the electric-only speed and distance range of the PHEV. A low-speed urban driving commute allowing the PHEV to be charged at home overnight and topped-up again while at work, during the day, would be an ideal scenario. While the popularity of hybrid vehicles continues to grow, barring a sudden spike in the price of oil/
gasoline, a meteoric rise in the popularity of alternatives to the old reliable gas engine vehicle is unlikely. Then again, who knows what the future, or the next twist in evolution, will bring. Hybrid vehicles have never been more affordable and certainly well worth consideration, if you’re thinking about buying a new vehicle. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca
Drives-U-Crazy My peeve is people who “crash” thru a roundabout, writes reader John Haygarth. Approaching one, you slow down and look left. If someone is already in, let them continue. Do not “cut” them off as many do here in Penticton. Before reaching your exit, you signal right to let others know they can enter. They are a great way to filter traffic different ways without traffic lights and if used correctly can actually speed up your trip. What drives-u-crazy. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

X5 marks 15 years of luxurious activity It’s hard to believe that the BMW X5 Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) was launched in the last century. It was a pioneer vehicle in 1999, which essentially launched a brand new segment. Fast forward to 2014 and you now have the latest installment of five-passenger people movers. 2014 BMW X5 xDrive 35i – the third generation X5 continues the tradition of modern luxury mixed with a capable xDrive allwheel drive system, and of course, some of the latest tech gadgets. It also comes with an overhauled look, on the inside and out. Starting with its Mineral White Metallic exterior, BMW continues to build on the X5’s soft-edge features, meaning, designers didn’t ditch the rounded curves for more angular or boxy characteristics. Its physique continues to embody the philosophy of a short front overhang, a long wheelbase, upright A-pillars and a short distance between the front
axle and the leading edge even a decent amount of of the front door.

lb-ft of torque.) When you turn on the X5 via the push button start, you also have the option to have more or less pizazz when it comes to driving dynamics. There are four modes in which you can enjoy this SAV including, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Eco Pro. The names are self-explanatory. If you’re romping around town, and don’t want to bridle all the horses, and you want to save on some fuel, Eco Pro is the mode you’d want. But if you’re feeling like you want a little more something something, Sport or Sport+ will do the trick. Aside from changing the feel of the X5 when driving, you’ll experience a ride that is calm and collected, as well as smooth and enjoyable. Steering is done via a rack-and-pinion system, therefore it’s not a chore to get the vehicle moving in a direction that you want. I’d categorize it on the “heavier” side, but because of that, I felt I was better able to
BMW X5 ALEXANDRA STRAUB
interpret what was going on underneath, especially at higher speeds. Another perk of the steering wheel? It’s heated. Other things inside that keep you and the passengers warm is the ability to control four different climate zones. Thanks to the Premium Package ($5,500) one of its features is the Auto 4-Zone Climate Control. This package also adds heated rear seats, a headup display, manual side
sunshades, and a feature that I really like, surround view with top view. Surround view allows gives you a 270° projection of what’s going on around the X5. For a vehicle as large as it is, it’s a wonderful feature to have. Of course, BMW also loaded this particular test vehicle with the Technology Package ($3,800) that includes active LED headlights, active bind spot detection, lane departure
and collision warning and more. And to make life behind the wheel a little more musical, there was an integrated Bang and Olufsen system that will add $4,900 to the base MSRP of $62,900. The price as tested came to $77,950 (excluding the destination charge of $2,095) alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
