Coquitlam RCMP say some drivers haven’tbeen stopping at a new pedestrian light installedon Barnet Highway.

And they’re reminding both motorists and ped-estrians to pay attention to the light, located mid-block between Pinetree Way and Johnson Streetin front of Coquitlam Centre.

The detachment sent out this tweet Wednesday:“Traffic changes around #Coquitlam centre dueto Evergreen Line construction means #pedes-

trians, #cyclists and #drivers need to pay xtraattn.”

“There’s going to be pedestrians crossing mid-block there and we want people to be aware thatthey need to pay attention to what the trafficlights are at the intersection,” RCMP Cpl. NeilRoemer told the Tri-Cities NOW.

He indicated there hasn’t been a deluge of driv-ers missing the light, but there have been enoughthat police feel the need to send out a reminder.

Local Mounties have been conducting trafficenforcement in the area, and Roemer said thosechecks will continue for the foreseeable future.

A candelight vigil will be held in Coquitlamtomorrow (Saturday, April 26) to offer sup-port and solidarity to those affected by lastweek’s Sewol ferry disaster in South Korea.

Organized by the C3 Korean CanadianSociety, Saturday’s event runs from 6:30to 10 p.m. at Our Lady ofFatima Church, located at315 Walker St.

“This is a way for everyoneto get together,” said societymember Angela MacKenzie.“There will be prayer, light-ing of candles and an areawhere people can leave mes-sages for the families andthose affected by the ferrytragedy.”

The Sewol sank on April 16during what was described asa routine trip from the city ofIncheon to the resort islandof Jeju. Close to 500 passen-gers were on board — manyof them high school students— and the death toll hadrisen above 160 as of Thursday. Another 130people were still missing.

“I wasn’t personally affected but as amom, my heart goes out to those families,”MacKenzie said.

“To think of losing a child … there were somany high school students involved in thattragedy. It’s heartbreaking.”

Event organizers will be collecting fundsSaturday that will be donated to familiesimpacted by the tragedy.

A series of other fundraisers outside ofSaturday’s gathering are also planned to takeplace at the Hannam and H-Mart plazas along

North Road: on May 2 and 9,from to 2 to 5 p.m., and onMay 3 and 10 from 11 a.m.to 3 p.m.

“It’s really just aboutwhatever people choose todonate,” MacKenzie said.“We don’t really have a min-imum amount or goal.”

Donations can also bemade via mail or directdeposit. By-mail donationscan be sent to the Rose ofSharon Foundation, 1165Charland Ave., Coquitlam,B.C., V3K 3L2.

Direct deposit donationscan be made via SharonsCredit Union. The accountholder name is Rose of

Sharon Foundation, while the account num-ber is 100000277970.

Homeless numbersstable inTri-Cities

John [email protected]

While homeless popula-tions in communities likeVancouver continue to surge,the numbers appear to havelevelled off in the Tri-Cities.

Preliminary findings fromthe 2014 Metro Vancouverhomeless count suggest thenumber of homeless peoplein the Tri-Cities has jumpedslightly, from 48 in 2011 to55 this year.

Those stats are based ona 24-hour survey that tookplace across Metro Vancouverin March.

“There were no surpris-es for me — it was aboutwhat I expected,” said SandyBurpee, chair of the Tri-CitiesHomelessness and HousingTask Group.

“The outreach teams keepan eye on the number ofhomeless people, so we knewthe numbers were stayingfairly steady.”

Of those 55 people, 23

were identified as withoutshelter services, down from28 three years ago. Thenumber of sheltered people,however, spiked: 32 this yearcompared to 20 in 2011.

The numbers are referredto as an “undercount” byMetro Vancouver due to thesurvey being conducted oversuch a short period. Otherfactors also play into thatundercount: some peopleavoid being recorded, othersdon’t want to participate,and others are still accessingother means of accommoda-tion on the day of the count— couch surfing, for example— and can’t be recorded.

“I don’t really see any sig-nificance between 55 and48,” Burpee said. “And I saythat because we know thatthe count is an undercount.”

The count’s regional trendspointed to spikes in the num-ber of homeless aboriginals,seniors and youth under theage of 25.

Burpee noted those region-

al trends are not reflected inthe Tri-Cities, and the num-bers back that claim up: sixaboriginals (one per cent ofthe Metro Vancouver total)and nine youths (two per centof the Metro Vancouver total)were cited as homeless.

The survey did not havestatistics specific to the Tri-Cities around seniors identi-fied as being homeless.

“Typically we don’t see alot of aboriginal homelesspeople in the Tri-Cities. Itis very disturbing that thenumbers have gone up, butmost of the aboriginal home-less people are concentratedin Vancouver, or to a lesserextent in Surrey,” Burpeesaid. “And it’s really difficultto measure youth becausethey’re not visible. We knowthere is a homelessness issuebut very seldom do we seethem on the street.”

The final report, which willexamine root causes, trendsand demographics, will bereleased in July.

The cause of a fire that destroyed a Coquitlam home EasterMonday will likely never be known.

Fire investigators have deemed the cause of the blaze in the400 block of Byng Street as “undetermined.”

Fire chief Wade Pierlot said investigators know the firestarted in the carport, but couldn’t find an ignition source.

“These are pretty common, to reach the undeterminedstage,” he told the Tri-Cities NOW.

“What started it and the source of the original ignition,those are tough [to determine].”

Pierlot did suggest the fire isn’t suspicious and the investiga-tion on the department’s end is complete.

He also noted the homeowner’s insurance company wouldbe conducting its own investigation.

Fire crews were called to the home around 5 a.m. Mondayafter a neighbour reported seeing flames coming from the gar-age. By the time crews arrived, the house was fully engulfed,with flames rolling out the front window.

Fortunately, the family, including a mother-in-law and smallchild, made it out of the burning home safely.

Firefighters also managed to rescue a pet cat from the base-ment.

Pierlot said while the home was lost, it was the best possibleoutcome, pointing out early morning fires can be deadly.

“For us it was a good result that there were no deaths orinjuries in the fire,” he said.

We’re nearly burnt out.We’re tired, frustrated,tense and with Junefast approaching,high school seniors

everywhere prepare themselves for thebiggest transition of their lives so far:the shift from high school to whatevercomes next.

Many 12th graders feel confused, likethey have no one to relate to, but thetruth is we share the same stresses, wor-ries and fears of the future.

Post-secondary acceptance letters arerolling in, meaning high school gradu-ates will leave behind a familiar way oflife.

After 12 years, seniors get used toliving by the bell. It signals the begin-ning of English, the end of physics, thestart of lunch and the end of the day.Next year, no bell will dictate what wedo with our time. We’ll decide that forourselves.

However, the freedom to choosecomes with the fear of choosingincorrectly.

Every decision is met with ques-tions from parents, teachers and peers,but it’s the questions we ask ourselvesthat keep us up at night. Which schoolshould I go to? Can I afford to go there?Should I even go to school?

Some people have it figured out.Many do not.

After high school, it’s not just lifestylethat changes. We’ll no longer see famil-iar faces from elementary school to thepresent.

Meeting new people is always a littlenerve-racking. We all have friends thatwe’ll miss seeing every day, but just likeat the beginning of elementary school,middle school and high school, we’llmake new friends.

However, no matter how many timespeople deny it, they will on some level

miss those individuals they used to befriends with, but just kind of stoppedtalking to and now awkwardly avoid eyecontact with in the hallways becausepleasantly smiling at them just doesn’tfeel right.

Those people are the best.Also, there are those with whom

people were never really friends, butthey were always just there.

I changed my mind. You guys are thebest.

Then there is the academic part ofschool to stress and worry about. Good,great and even outstanding grades areno longer enough.

Students must juggle the responsibil-ities of school, clubs, sports, volunteer-ing and a job while doing what they canto maintain some kind of a social life.Much of the time, it feels too heavy tohandle, and with guaranteed spots inuniversity, it often feels like the perfecttime to give up.

However, there is one event thatkeeps high school seniors studying, or atleast in good behaviour. Grad.

The name is misleading. The word“grad” brings to mind the image of caps,gowns and diplomas, but I’m not talkingabout that one.

I’m talking about the one where theguys of the senior class dress in suitsand ties while the girls pretty them-selves up for what TV shows and filmspromise to be an unforgettable night,

whether you watch the upbeat songsof Glee or the telekinetic tendencies ofCarrie.

Girls waste so much time stressingover one night. They worry about thedress, the shoes, the hair, the makeup,the accessories, the limo … the list goeson.

I never really understood the signifi-cance of grad. Now I get it.

It’s one more night to spend withfriends, acquaintances and the peopleyou never talk to. It’s one more chanceto smile at the old buddy you broke tieswith without the worry of ever beingjudged by them again.

Amidst all the uncertainty of thefuture, grad is a celebration to lookforward to and micromanage to theextreme because it provides a welcomedistraction from the chaos of senioryear.

Although many grade 12s feel alonein their worries about the future, theyneed to know we’re in the same boat.Instead of burning out, let’s be on fire insenior year.

Abigail Ileto is a Grade 12student at Dr. Charles BestSecondary in Coquitlam.

Dig into your wallet, find seven quarters and laythem out in front of you.

You probably have enough to buy a smallsnack — maybe a fruity energy drink, a muffinor a chocolate bar. But not all three at once.

And certainly not enough for a full meal, let alone anentire day’s worth of food.

But that’s just what people are being encouraged to donext week, from April 28 to May 2, as part of the Belowthe Line Challenge: to spend less than $1.75 all day longfor their food. Part of the Micronutrient Initiative, theeffort — which is running in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.simultaneously — is aimed at raising both awareness andfunds for extreme poverty.

Though many Canadians have a hard time imagininggetting through breakfast for under $2, never mind the restof the day, that’s just what billions around the world doevery day. In fact, their situation is even more challenging:the $1.75 limit set for Canadian participants ($1.25 in theU.S.) equates to about how much those in poverty live ondaily for not just food but also shelter, clothing, medicaland other costs.

And, before anyone points out that $1.75 a day mightbe able to buy a lot more in some far-off place, the amountwas calculated using something called the purchasingpower parity to keep the concept relative. In other words,the $1.75 represents a relative quantity of spending money.

It’s an extreme challenge — some would argue impos-sible — and that’s the point.

If we can’t do it, how can anyone anywhere?The truth is that poverty is a global issue — one that

affects people right here in our area, and on the other sideof the planet. Understanding the experience of poverty,even temporarily, may be a first step in shifting our prior-ities — and without that shift, nothing will ever change.

To find out more, see www.livebelow theline.ca — andthen dig into the change jar and start figuring out how tomake those seven quarters last you all day long.

Could youlive on $1.75?

WHATAREPOLICE DOINGABOUT TAGS?

Q: “I live in Port Moody, andwalk in Coquitlam and around theTri-Cities for transit. I see graffitiby a tagger named “Kov3n” andhis tags are everywhere! I see theCoronation Park School vandal-ized at least once a month and it’sfrustrating to see the taxpayers areon the hook for the repairs. What isthe Coquitlam RCMP doing aboutthe taggers who tag every lamppost and have caused lots of dam-age on TransLink buses? It seemslike there are more tags from thesame person. How much of a prior-ity is vandalism for the police?”

AlisonPort Moody

A: Alison, you’re right, graf-fiti is an issue, not just in theTri-Cities, but across MetroVancouver, and it is costly. Thecosts run deeper than just thedollars needed to remove thetags. It also reduces the sense ofsecurity residents feel in theircommunities. A single pieceof graffiti on a building oftenattracts more taggers to gatherin the area and do more tagging.This is why we encourage the

graffiti to be removed as soon aspossible.

Graffiti is a community prob-lem that will not go away simplyby making arrests and layingcriminal charges. It requires theattention of many stakeholders,and an engaged community tohelp combat it. The CoquitlamRCMP members and volunteersare active in the community, edu-cating businesses and residentson how to minimize the risks ofbeing a graffiti target. Officers,civilian staff and volunteers atthe detachment work with groupslike Teens Against Graffiti, CIVICIsmaili Muslim youth group, PortCoquitlam Youth Ambassadors,members from different residents’associations and Metro VancouverHousing on many different anti-graffiti paint-outs and communitymural projects.

In addition, the CoquitlamRCMP, along with other agenciessuch as the Port Moody Police

Department and Transit Police,are part of the Lower MainlandAnti-Graffiti Task Force. The taskforce discusses recent trends,and shares intelligence on whichareas get vandalized the most andwho are the active taggers.

In addition to working in part-nership with our citizens andother police agencies, we alsorely on citizens and businesses inthe community to help keep usinformed. Alison, this is whereyou come in. You can help us byreporting anything suspicious,even if you think nothing is goingto happen. The information youand other callers provide helpsus get a more complete picture ofcriminal activities in the area. Youmay not see police cars racing tothe scene with emergency lightsand sirens for a suspicious personreport, but we use the informa-tion as building blocks to create amore sustainable and long-termcrime reduction strategy for van-dalism and other crimes. If youwant to learn more about ourcrime reduction strategy, crimehotspots and prolific offenders,visit coquitlam.rcmp.ca.

What else can be done to helpsolve the graffiti problem? Themost effective way is to removethe tags in 24 hours or as soon aspossible, after reporting it to the

police. The vandals may or maynot come back to tag again. Butinterestingly, after you quicklyremove their tags several times,most stop because their “work”is not being admired by others.There are other things you can doto help prevent graffiti:

• Protect areas where graffitihas occurred in the past with aproduct designed to repel graffiti,allowing for easier cleanup.

• Keep your property well lit byinstalling motion sensor lights.

• Move dumpsters and otherobjects away from buildings toprevent vandals from getting ontorooftops.

• Consider planting pricklybushes like ivy to cover exposedconcrete walls to eliminate poten-tial graffiti areas.

I’ve seen youth and adults inour community work side-by-sidewith officers in anti-graffiti com-munity projects and it is a reallyrewarding experience for me tosee everyone working so hard tobeautify the community we alllive, work or play in. So Alison,let’s work together toward a graf-fiti-free community.

Children’s bike raceset for BuntzenLakeChris [email protected]

Kids get some fresh air,exercise and maybe a tastefor cycling and racing.

A local adventure-cyclingevent gets some new con-verts. And a charity thathelps pay for poor kids to joinsports teams gets a handful ofmuch-needed cash.

Those were the wheels thatstarted turning when JessStromgren, School District43’s community liaison, wastrying to figure out how toconnect local students withhealthy sporting opportun-ities going on around them.

Ontheonehand,Stromgrensaw a great opportunity inthe annual kids’ race being

offered in parallel with theSuburban Rush adult adven-ture challenge at BuntzenLake on Saturday, April 26.

On the other, he saw theongoing need for cash atKidSport TriCities, a charitydedicated to removing finan-cial barriers for kids whowant to take part in organ-ized sport.

So he connected the two.The Suburban Rush race,

now 10 years old, has run thechildren’s event as a charit-able fundraiser for four years,but had never partnered withKidSport. Or the school dis-trict.

Now the kids’ race — agrass and gravel-path circuitof between 500 metres and a

kilometre, for children fromthree to seven — is beingpromoted across the schooldistrict for all kids interestedin taking part along with aparent or adult partner.

Proceeds of the registrationfees will go to KidSport.

And as a bonus, raceorganizers have offeredevery school in the districtone free entry for a child oftheir choice, with the idea ofremoving financial barriers

Addextra flavourHow many reci-

pes have youseen that listwater as aningredient?

A pasta sauce recipe, forexample, may say to adda cup of water. How muchflavour does water have?Nothing. I am always preach-ing to be innovative whilecooking and add ingredientsother than water, such aswine, broth, beer, juice, etc.because they have moreflavour. Although most can,some recipes cannot adaptto this type of modification.It will usually depend on theamount of seasonings/fla-vour already in the dish.

The first thing to exam-ine is the amount of waterthe recipe suggests. If theamount is of minusculeproportion, then typicallyreplacing the water shouldn’tbe a concern. The choiceof distinctive liquid wouldaccent the existing flavourswithout risk of overpoweringthe dish.

If the recipe calls for alarge quantity of water, thenone must examine what theother ingredients are andhow much flavour they willimpart on their own. This isnot as complicated as it maysound.

The most effective wayto determine if a recipe canaccept any variation is tomake it the way it is writtenfirst and then listen to yourtaste buds. Could it use more

flavour? If so, what wouldcomplement it and how pun-gent/mellow could the liquidbe? Maybe just replacing aportion of the water wouldbe the solution, or leavingthe recipe in its original statewould be just fine. Makenotes in your cookbooks forfuture reference.

Rice cooked in chickenstock, for example, has moreflavour than if it was cookedin only water. I know thatmay seem quite obvious, solet me give you some ideaswith the following liquids:

Red wine or dark beer aregreat additions to red meatand tomato dishes, such aspasta sauces, gravies, chilies,stir-fries, soups, stews, etc.A general “rule of thumb”is the stronger the flavoursin a certain dish, then themore robust wine/beer it canhandle as an ingredient.

White wine is better suitedto cream sauces, poultrygravies, lighter soups andseafood.

Broth, stock or vegetablejuices can be paired up withcertain dishes, based on theflavours you want to impart:

chicken, beef or vegetable.Broth/stock is an option foralmost any savoury dish.

Fruit juices can also beused in savoury dishes(savoury is the opposite ofsweet). A delicious examplewould be an orange gingerstir-fry made from orangejuice. These are only sugges-tions as there are countlessoptions and combinations totry. Keep tasting and takingnotes. Your cookbooks mayturn out looking like high-school textbooks — but forthe sake of better eating, it’sworth it.

Dear Chef Dez:“If I don’t have white wine

and a recipe calls for it as aningredient, what can I useinstead?”

Tim M.Nanaimo

Dear Tim:If you want to keep the

recipe tasting close to theway it was written then Iwould suggest white grapejuice or apple juice, as longas the quantity is minimal.

The main considerationwith fruit juices is that theirhigher sugar content coulddrastically affect the outcomeof the recipe. Therefore it isbetter to use them in smallerquantities, unless your goal isa sweet finish.

Darker berry and grapejuices can also be used insmall amounts in place of redwine.

A changing of the guard and replenishing theroster may be standard responses when your clublost seven players due to graduation.

For Coquitlam junior Adanac general managerTosh Nishimura, it is definitely not an excuse.

Despite losing a lot of veteran leaders, Nishimuraand head coach Neil Doddridge are guiding thisyear’s Adanacs with a championship in their sights.

A new season begins Sunday when Coquitlamvisits Burnaby, 7 p.m. at the Copeland Arena. Goneare captain Tyler Garrison, Reid Reinholdt, MattDelmonico, Sam Goodman, Steven Neufeld, VincentRicci and goalie Davide DiRuscio — in other words,a big part of last year’s starting lineup.

But no one has coined the weighted term ‘rebuild’for this year’s prognosis — and Mike Gillis’ fatal‘retool’ is off the synonyms list, too.

The defending B.C. Junior Lacrosse League regu-lar season and playoff champions, Coquitlam isstill well-stocked with top-line sticks on both sidesof the floor, and has the province’s deepest minorprogram feeding it.

They also boast a successful crop of newcomers,drafted and attracted from various programs, whohave chosen to wear the purple and gold.

“I’m really happy to get the season going, it’salways an exciting time of year,” said Nishimuraof Sunday’s game in Burnaby against the Lakers.“We’re missing about 75 per cent of our [projected]roster, but we think we’ve got some very good play-ers here eager to play.”

While the club’s offensive leader Wesley Bergwill be at the University of Denver until mid-June,the team has young talent stepping up to fill hugepositions.

None are bigger than the spot in net, where jun-ior A rookie Connor David looks to make the jumpfrom intermediate.

David, a Maple Ridge product, comes to theAdanacs after leading his club to the IntermediateA provincial crown last summer. He was named thetournament’s MVP and the circuit’s top goaltender.

He’s joining 21-year-old Riley Camozollo, a jun-ior B Adanac who in his one jr. A game last yearstopped all 11 shots he faced.

Maple Ridge is also providing a triple-dose of fire-power too, as Coquitlam added sniper Brett Kujula,who like David, was a first-team all star in 2013. In17 games last season, he netted 50 goals and fin-ished seventh in league scoring, one spot ahead offellow Burrard and new Adanac Joe Olson.

Another name that Nishimura expects to becomequickly prominent is that of Kyle Heiling. TheMaple Ridge teen is a force at both ends of the floor,as evident in his numbers last year: 21 goals, 25assists and 109 penalty minutes.

They will supplement a roster that includesreturnees Michael Messenger, Challen Rogers,Jordan Gillis and Tyler Pace.

Last year’s march, which saw Coquitlam top theleague and playoffs with a 17-4 record, was haltedshort of its goal by an injury to Berg in the B.C.finals. Without his stick and on-floor presence, theteam stalled at the Minto Cup, falling short of thechampionship final for the first time in four years.

Getting back there remains the goal, saidNishimura.

“Every game is important,” he said. “You wantto finish first and get home-floor advantage in theplayoffs, and be the team that carries the flag [inthe Minto Cup].”

This summer the Minto Cup resorts back to itstraditional best-of-seven final between the westand eastern champions. If B.C. wins a playoff withAlberta’s best, the Minto — barring a VancouverIsland winner — will be played in Langley.

Coquitlam plays host to Delta on Wednesday,7:30 p.m. at the Poirier Sports Centre.

DEFENDING CHAMPSWANTEIGHTHTITLE

CHIN TURNS CFL HEADSCoquitlam’s Casey Chin is use to making a

dent in opposing offences.Now, the five-foot-10 linebacker is one

of the top 15 prospects on the radar in theCanadian Football League’s Canadian draft.

The CFL Scouting Bureau released its finaltop-15 eligible prospects list for the Maydraft, with Chin being one of just two line-backers to make the cut.

With Simon Fraser University, Chin dem-onstrated excellent skill and determinationwhile facing NCAA Div. II opponents, leadingthe Great Northwest Athletic Conference intackles over his final three seasons.

In 2013, he posted a career-best 119 tackles.Chin was listed 12th on the CFL list.

FOX SET FOR PLAYOFFSThe Terry Fox junior Ravens were looking

to establish a strong tone heading into theFraser Valley junior rugby playoffs this week.

If an exhibition test is any indication,they’re on the right path.

The 5-0 Ravens tuned up for the LowerFraser Valleys with a resounding 29-5 victoryover Brookswood. Led by Grade 10 tandem ofSean Stewart and captain Taylor Poitras, theRavens built up a 24-0 halftime lead beforedemonstrating top-notch defensive chops.

Stewart and Poitras cashed in a pair of triesin the first half, with Stewart contributing apair of converts. Rounding out the offencewere Justin Hyde, with his first in a Fox jer-sey, and Isaac Mayville.

Also providing standout support wereGrade 9s Michael Clarke, Krisztian Kadar,Everett Kellner and Devin Passaglia.

VIGNA SECURES SFU FIRSTPar may have won the day for Simon Fraser

University’s Kevin Vigna, but the stage was setwith a scintillating second round.

The Coquitlam native secured SFU’s firstNCAA conference golf championship witha three-round score of 213 at the GreatNorthwest Athletic Conference final in Idaho.

The freshman opened the three-day eventwith a four-over 75 to stand four shots backof the lead, then pulled into second overall onthe strength of Day 2’s four-under 67.

Trailing Western Washington’s Kyle Shraderby two strokes, Vigna would close the gap onthe final day, finishing at even-par and sevenshots better than his closest rival.

“I knew where to miss, where not to miss, Iwas aiming for the middle of the greens, tryingto take advantage of the par-fives and makemy birdies there,” he said in a press release.

BEST STANDS UNBEATENThe battle of the undefeated was going to

leave one team unhappy.After the final whistle, that one team wasn’t

the Dr. Charles Best Blue Devils.Best blanked the Terry Fox Ravens 4-0 in a

crucial senior girls North League soccer teston Wednesday, with Stefania Memme’s strikefrom 30 yards midway through the first halfproving to be the difference.

The Coquitlam squad tacked on three moregoals with a strong second half, as KathrynHarvey netted a pair and Breanna Cabucoadded a single.

Setting the tone at midfield was AllyssaDahlberg, while the trio of Jamie Culpo, KelseyGreen and Erin Wright put up an impenetrabledefence.

The win gives Best, at 5-0, sole possession offirst place, with one game to play.

The power of persuasionisn’t going to interfere with theCoquitlam Express’ meme as theyhead into the Western Canada Cupjunior A hockey tournament.

The B.C. Hockey League play-off champions got to the Dauphin,Man. five-team tourney despitebeing no one’s favourite and anunderdog of major proportions.

Drawing the Alberta championSpruce Grove Saints in Sunday’sround-robin opener (noon PST) inthe Dauphin, Man.-hosted event,Coquitlam could look at the Saints’six weeks atop the Canadian juniorA poll and say “Oh oh.”

That, fortunately, isn’t how theyroll.

Coquitlam looks to continue onwhere they left off by outworkingtheir rivals — through due dili-gence, putting pucks on the net andkeeping its opponent off balance.

“We’ve got to play our game,the game that’s got us here,” saidforward Cody Boyd on the task athand. “We have to use our speedto our advantage, and show thatwe have a mix of everything in ourarsenal.”

The Express’ goal is to finish top-two in the end — as the finalistsadvance to next month’s Royal BankCup championship in Vernon.

Coquitlam coach Barry Wolffsaid it’s critical to follow the recipethat got them to Manitoba.

“Obviously we take it one gameat a time and don’t worry about thepast — we’re in the same boat asevery team there,” remarked Wolff.“The format is such that we don’tneed to be the best team, we justneed to be in the top-four of five tomake it to [the playoff round].”

The team has health on its side, togo along with a well of confidenceafter knocking off Prince George,Langley, Victoria and Vernon.

“Everybody here believes we cando this,” said Boyd.

For the Port Coquitlam Euro-Rite Castilians,the journey to the Coastal A Cup soccer final onSaturday has been a great reward in itself.

The club, which faces Delta in the 3 p.m.final at Richmond High, has thrived under thepressure of a long season.

PoCo placed third in metro girls play this pastseason with an 8-4-6 record. It meant they hadto be road warriors to advance in the cup play-downs. They bested West Coast FC 3-1 in PittMeadows on the strength of Molly Schmidt’sheader.

In Richmond against the No. 2-seed, an over-time tally by Jeneca Bowering, again off aheader, lifted them to a 2-1 victory.

Up against first place North Shore,the Castilians came out with a full throttleapproach. Another goal off a header, this timeby Katelyn Walker, forced penalty kicks. That’swhere netminder Samantha Anderson madetwo critical saves to lock up their third straightwin and a berth into the A final.

The team of 12 and 13 year olds are aimingto represent the zone at the Provincial Cup inJuly. A win would clinch that goal.

Other local clubs in Coastal Cup finalsinclude the u-14 Port Moody Storm, the u-18Storm, and the u-15 boys Coquitlam Metro-Ford United. In the B bracket, Coquitlam is alsocontesting the boys u-17 title.

Castilians tested in cup route

Call it the neverending jour-ney, but the Bradner Cup’slengthy route from start tofinish is a seven-month mara-thon that no under-21 teamhad ever conquered.

Until now.The Port Moody U-21

Gunners survived a harsh,satisfying journey on theweekend when it emergedwith a 2-0 shutout over club-house mates the Port MoodyDiv. 1 Gunners to claim thevenerable Bradner challengecup crown.

Goals by Edi Bogere andJordan Bordignon providedthe difference, as Port Moodysurvived the 51-team compe-tition that began in October.

“In terms of B.C. cups,the Bradner is a special

one,” said U21 coach RusselHuggon. “It’s such a long roadand there’s so many teamsinvolved, that’s what makes itspecial. It’s the way you wantto end the year.”

Squaring off againstanother Gunners squad guar-anteed some hardware for theclub, after some rough resultsin recent cup contests.

Huggon said that being thefirst-ever U-21 team to win itis an important feather for theplayers and the club.

“It’s an open men’s tour-nament so you’ve got teamsfrom all over,” he noted. “Youwant to be called a championfor a year, we won the league(title) and now we’ve got this.It’s a great accomplishment.”

Bogere netted what proved

to be the game winner, com-ing in off the bench in a closegame midway through thefirst half.

At the other end, netminderSabastian Faber was in terrificform, with critical saves at theright time — including a lateblock that led to the insurancetally by Bordignon.

“They were big, fast andthey were pushing for theequalizer,” recalled Huggon.“[Sabastian] made a world-class save with like a minuteleft.”

To get to the final, theyoung Gunners beat Div. 3Langley 4-1, Div. 4 Babylon 6-0, Div. 2 Langley 3-0, LangleyU-21s 1-0 and Div. 1 NorthDelta 1-0 in the semifinal on agoal from Santiago Vasquez.
