Tsleil-Waututh set to challenge pipeline

Canadas federal court of appeal hasgiven the Tsleil-Waututh Nation the go-ahead for a legal challenge against theKinder Morgan pipeline expansion thatcould derail the National Energy Boardshearing for the project.

Kinder Morgan wants to twin the TransMountain pipeline and expand the tankfarm and marine terminal, all partly withinthe nations traditional territory in Burnabyand around the Burrard Inlet.

The Crown and the National EnergyBoard have entered into an unlawful pro-cess, one that does not respect aborigi-nal rights and title, said Chief MaureenThomas in a media release. We are stillat the beginning of a long fight, but weare deeply committed to protecting ourterritory. We will use all the legal means

necessary to defend it against (the) NEBsunilateral and one-sided review processand Kinder Morgans project.

The nation launched the challenge inearly May, claiming the NEB did not havethe authority to move forward with thehearing because the federal governmentand the board had not consulted with thenation about the hearing and the environ-mental assessment for the pipeline expan-sion. The appeal is the first legal challengefrom a First Nation against the project.

The National Energy Board cant com-

ment much at this point because its a legalissue, and, as board spokesperson SarahKiley pointed out, the NEB hasnt seen thenations appeal yet. The nation has 60 daysto file the appeal, and the boards legal teamwill take a look and decide whether to par-ticipate in the hearing, Kiley said.

When I say participate, we may notfile a response or an argument, but wewill of course comply with any request fordocuments, she said. We havent seenthat appeal yet. Once that comes in, welltake a look.

The Burnaby FirstCoalition is calling on theCity of Burnaby to be moretransparent when it comesto the citys finances.

At a press conferenceoutside city hall beforethe July 7 council meet-ing, BFC supporters high-lighted issues ranging fromthe secrecy surroundingBurnabys collective agree-ment with CUPE Local 23to a five-year tax surplus ofnearly $482 million sittingin the city reserves.

As it stands, BritishColumbias largest munici-palities have a seriousaccountability deficit,said BFC supporter andformer Green Party can-didate Rick McGowan. Ididnt say that if it sounds

familiar, its because it wasstated by the BCAs friendand my NDP MP KennedyStewart in 2005.

McGowan noted thatsince 2009, the tax levyfor Burnaby residents hasincreased by 25 per cent,which, paired with overes-timated expenditure fore-casts and underestimatedrevenue projections, hasled to the eight- and nine-figure annual surpluses.

As a result of thisflawed budgeting processand no oversight, we seetens, even hundreds of mil-lions of dollars of taxes anduser fees being transferredfrom our pockets to the cityreserves, he said.

The BFC also questionedwhy some workers mak-ing more than $75,000 arereceiving significant rais-es year after year, whilethe salary total for cityemployees making underthat amount has hoveredaround $80.8 million overthe past three years.

As reported by theNOWlast month, the citys lat-

est statement of financialinformation revealed the2013 salaries of all City ofBurnaby employees. Thelargest raise went to plan-ning and building directorLou Pelletier, who madenearly $30,000 more in 2013than 2012.

The number of employ-ees making more than$75,000 has increased by

Overcrowding in the BurnabyHospitals emergency room is leading tounsafe conditions for patients and work-ers, according to the Hospital EmployeesUnion (HEU).

The hospital has invoked its overcapac-ity protocol on and off for twomonths, according to FraserHealth, and the facility wasat its highest level of overca-pacity (OCP 3) as recently asMonday.

What it means practicallyon the ground is that there area lot of patients being caredfor in halls, HEU communi-cations director Mike Old toldthe NOW. Thats not con-ducive to the best of care forpatients.

It could also put workers atrisk, he said.

Our members have raisedconcerns with local manag-ers about both patient beds and hospitalequipment like linen carts blocking emer-gency exits, he said.

The union attributes the problem to thehospital running over capacity with inad-equate resources.

But Fraser Healths interim CEO, DavidOstrow, told theNOW the local health carefacility has actually done a lot of innova-tive work to improve overcrowding inits emergency room, including creating asupertrack area to separate urgent andnon-urgent patients.

Believe it or not, it would be a lotworse if they hadnt done a lot of things

that theyve done, Ostrowsaid.

Concerns about emergen-cy room overcrowding comeon the heels of a provincialreview of Fraser Health thatpointed to major problems atBurnaby Hospital.

Released by the healthministry last week, the reportsaid the local health-care facil-ity showed flags in nearlyall patient-safety indicatorsand was among the worst inCanada for indicators like hos-pital acquired infections andfractures, readmission rates,and treating patients with frac-

tured hips within 48 hours.Hospital officials said some of the data

used in the report were two years old andthat significant progress on patient carehas been made in the interim.

Well, that didnt takelong. Last week, Iwrote that, while theSupreme Court of Canada deci-sion granting aboriginal titledidnt mean the sky was falling,there would certainly be stormytimes ahead.

And now oneparticular storm hasappeared on thehorizon, and it looksforeboding.

The Gitxsan First Nations innorthwest B.C. has issued evic-tion notices to CN Rail, forestindustries and sports fisheriesto vacate the land and cease allactivities by Aug. 4, unless theyreceive the consent of the bandshereditary chiefs to be there.

The band has seized upona section of that court decisionthat sets out conditions thatmust be met for a First Nationsto establish aboriginal title. Oneof those tests is that a band mustprove it had exclusive historicaloccupation of the land in ques-tion.

Exclusivity can be estab-lished by proof that others wereexcluded from the land or byproof that others were onlyallowed access to the land withthe permission of the claimantgroup, the court wrote in thedecision.

One would think the wordingapplies to the situation that wasthere historically, or beforecontact with European settlerswho ultimately occupied the

land.However, the Gitxsan appear

to take the novel approach thatexcluding people from the landit claims title to must take placeright now, in order to meet oneof the tests to establish title tothe land.

I dont know wherethis is headed, but itseems things could getugly particularly if

the Gitxsan tries to forcibly evictor blockade one of the parties itis trying to exclude from theland they are laying claim to.

Presumably, a court willweigh in on this matter. But thisis a prime example of a situationthat can cause potential investorsto pull back from putting moneyinto B.C.s economy, becauseof the uncertainty of just howextensive First Nations powersultimately are in this province.

The Gitxsan will undoubt-edly not be the last First Nationsband to try to exercise more con-trol of the land they are claimingtitle to before that title is actuallyproven. Meanwhile, circle Aug. 4on your calendar.

!The looming Surrey mayor-

alty race is shaping up as awarm-up exercise for the nextfederal election for a number ofmajor political operatives in thisprovince.

Governments failing to protect parklandAs people across the country are load-

ing up their vans for camping weekendsand hoisting their backpacks for wilder-ness adventures, a group dedicated tosaving Canadas parks saysgovernments from coast tocoast are failing to protect theland we all treasure.

The Canadian Parks and WildernessSociety just released its sixth annualreview of the state of Canadas parks and, worryingly, the group finds thatmost parks and proposed protected areas

in the country are facing greater chal-lenges than they were a year ago.

Specifically, the report says govern-ments are prioritizing industrial and

commercial interests over theecological, social and economicbenefits of parks.

Sadly, if not surprisingly,our own B.C. government comes underfire in the report. The reason? Thechanges it made in March to the provin-cial Park Act that allow the governmentto issue permits for feasibility studies

related to the construction of roads,highways and pipelines through provin-cial parks and for the broadly definedcategory of research.

These changes undermine the fun-damental principle that parks are to beprotected from industrial developmentin perpetuity, the report says.

B.C. is not alone. Also highlighted inthe report are a move in New Brunswickthat will open up increased logging inconservation zones, a proposal for ahotel in Jasper National Park and plans

to open up the Yukons Peel watershedto mineral, oil and gas staking.

Enough already. Whatever moneysuch plans may generate is not worth it.

Canadas parks are parks for a reason.We are renowned for the beauty of ourland, and that land deserves to remainintact for generations to come.

Heres hoping that this report andthe storm thats already brewing inresponse to it will cause the powersthat be to rethink where the real valuelies in this beautiful land of ours.

City needs to put out political fireDear Editor:

Re: Burnaby fire department wants KinderMorgan to fight its own fires, Burnaby NOW, July 9.

I find the belligerent attitude being adoptedby Burnaby and the Burnaby firefighters towardsKinder Morgan to be deplorable.

Clearly, from reading the very thoughtful andwonderfully balanced article by Jennifer Moreau onthe Kinder Morgan tank farm, there are issues onboth sides.

Whether I support Kinder Morgans presencein Burnaby is irrelevant what is relevant is theyhave been here for 60 years, paying their taxes tothe city.

If a fire broke out at their facilities, I would wantit dealt with swiftly and in a way to minimize envi-ronmental damage.

If in 60 years, they have not had a fire, then itdoes not make sense for Kinder Morgan to havepeople trained up full time to fight a once-in-sev-eral-generations fire. But it does make sense to workwith the local fire department to provide ongoingspecial training to firefighters and make sure thatin the unlikely but possible event that a fire didbreak out in the tank farm, the City of Burnaby andKinder Morgan would respond swiftly and knowl-edgeably.

Politics should not be a factor in these situations.Kinder Morgan seems to want to work with the city

Facts dont back claimsDear Editor:

Re: Firing back at Kinder Morgan prez,Letters to the Editor, July 10.

The Burnaby NOW published a let-ter from Robyn Allan suggesting that ifthe proposed Trans Mountain expansionproject is approved, Metro Vancouverresidents would pay higher gasoline pric-es.

The facts do not back up her claims.Prices paid by local consumers at the

pumps are driven by world oil prices,not Alberta oil prices, so any increase inprice per-barrel as a result of Alberta pro-ducers accessing world markets due to

expanded pipelines does not mean highergasoline prices for locals.

Her argument also ignores the manyfactors that go into the price paid byconsumers for gasoline taxes, refiningcosts, seasonal fluctuations and the gen-eral rules of supply and demand.

The cost of crude oil makes up lessthan 50 per cent of the ultimate price youpay at the pump.

In addition, she ignores the realityin the Vancouver area, that refineries,including Chevron in Burnaby, cannotget enough raw product from Alberta bypipeline and are currently supplement-ing their supply by transporting crudeoil on rail.

Our project would allow for more, notless, supply for both local refineries andworld markets.

There are many independent sourcesfor information about gasoline prices,and we encourage your readers to learnthe facts. We suggest visiting NaturalResources Canada at www.nrcan.gc.caand the Canadian Centre for EnergyInformation at www.centreforenergy.com for more information.

Election: No challenge in Burnabyorganizers are gettinginvolved in the variouscamps.

And they have tiesto both the federalConservative and Liberalparties, and it appearssome of them are workingbeside each other.

Linda Hepner, thewould-be successorto Diane Watts as theSurrey First mayoraltycandidate, has veteranpolitical strategist PatKinsella in her corner, buthes got plenty of com-pany. Communicationspros Norm Stowe andLaura Ballance and vet-eran political organizersStu Braddock and PremVinning are also helpingHepner.

Barinder Rasode, theindependent councillorwho is expected to chal-lenge Hepner, has veteranfederal Liberal organizerMark Marissen runningher team.

But NDP stalwart MoeSihota is there as well,

and ex-B.C. Liberal poll-ster Dmitri Pantazopoulos(one of the few peopleto accurately predictthe last provincial elec-tion) is assisting, as isKareem Allam (KevinFalcons deputy campaignmanager in the last B.C.Liberal leadership race).

Im not sure how DougMcCallum, the formermayor trying to get hisold job back, will fare inlanding the same numberof experienced hands.

But I suppose one rea-son (aside from personalties and loyalties) all thesepolitical pros are flockingto Surrey is that it maybe the only intriguingmayoralty race in all ofMetro Vancouver.

In 2011, almost allincumbent mayors werere-elected, and I suspectthe same thing will hap-pen this fall.

There seems little rea-son to think RichmondMayor Malcolm Brodie,Burnaby Mayor DerekCorrigan, Port CoquitlamMayor Greg Moore,

Coquitlam Mayor RichardStewart or Delta MayorLois Jackson are vulner-able to a strong chal-lenge (unless any of themdecide against runningagain).

The wild card, ofcourse, is VancouverMayor Gregor Robertson,who has been makingnews (for all the wrongreasons) these days.

Former Vancouver Suneditor Kirk Lapointeannounced this week thathe will run as the mayoralcandidate for the ironic-ally named Non-PartisanAssociation.

Robertson will likelynot face a credible chal-lenge from the left, as theCOPE party has been cap-tured by fringe elementswho like to shout slogansat each other.

But if the NPA can getits act together, there noreason to think the partycant take a run at the sit-ting mayor.

A Burnaby RCMP offi-cer who called a woman adirty slut in the heat ofan argument over a park-ing space has been dockedsix days pay, according toan RCMP disciplinary deci-sion.

In the opinion of anRCMP adjudicator, Const.Harinder Paul Singh Pablashould have handled thesituation differently, givenhis 16 years on the forceat the time. While a judgeruled that the woman hadassaulted Pabla in the con-frontation,an internal inves-tigation took issue with theofficers foul language.

On the afternoon of NewYearsEve2011,Pablawhowas off-duty approachedthen 23-year-old JessicaOlive after she pulled intoa parking spot that he hadhis eye on at WillowbrookShopping Centre.

A teary-eyed Olive testi-fiedPablawasupset shehadtaken his spot. While theconversation started nor-mally and she apologized,she claimed he refused toaccept her apology and thesituation escalated.

Olive told Pabla, Stopbeing a dick. Its just aparking spot, lets move

on, at which point Pablamade the aforementionedremark, among other sexu-ally explicit comments. Sheattempted to walk awayfrom the confrontation, butPabla followed her, leading

Olive to kick him in theshin.

Pabla pulled out hisbadge and stated he couldpress charges for assault,to which Olive said he hadverbally assaulted her and

tried to walk away again,but when he continued tofollow her, she hit him withher purse and told him toleave her alone.

I was very scared atthat point, Olive told the

courts last July. It felt likeno matter what I did, hewouldnt leave me alone. Ididnt knowwhat else to doto get him away from me.

According to testimony,Pabla struck Olive in the

face. He was previouslycharged with assault inconnection with the inci-dent but was acquitted by ajudge last August.

Nearly the full force ofthe Burnaby RCMP wasdispatched to a local homeon Saturday turns out itwas a joke that got way outof hand, and police arentlaughing.

Burnaby RCMP officers,Air 1, the Lower MainlandEmergency Response Teamand the Integrated PoliceDog Services were all calledto a home inNorth Burnaby,in the 4300 block of NapierStreet, on July 12. The showof force was in response toa 911 call the departmentreceived from a man say-ing his girlfriend had senthim a text message report-ing she was being shot atin her home, stated a pressrelease.

This was potentially avery serious situation andwe responded to it the waywe must, with all of theappropriate resources thatare available to us, Insp.Bob Page, Burnaby RCMPinvestigative services offi-cer, said in the release.

Following the incident,Mounties determined the

girlfriend did not intendfor her boyfriend to contactpolice and the text messagewas a joke. For this reason,

police chose not to chargeher with public mischief,which can carry a sentenceof five years in prison if the

person is found guilty of anindictable crime.

She didnt intention-ally want the police to

become involved, but if itwas intentional we abso-lutely would have chargedher with public mischief,

Page said. We urge peopleto use their common sense.Joking about a shooting isno joke.

20.5 per cent since 2011,and the overall wage totalfor those employees hasincreased by $10.5 millionin the same period.

In summary, the BFCcalled on council to allowthe provincially appointedmunicipal auditor to reviewthe citys books, publishall contracts and othercivic dealings on the cityswebsite within 90 days ofratification, provide fiveyears of city budget datain an objective format andrelease estimates of futurecosts determined by citystaff stemming from CUPEnegotiations.

Coun. Dan Johnston,who chairs the citysfinance and civic develop-ment committee, could notbe reached for comment bythe NOWs deadline.

While Burnaby Firstsslate has not been officiallyannounced, the conferencewas attended by formerindependent council candi-date Nick Kvenich, formerTEAM Burnaby mayoralcandidate Tom Tao, formerParents Voice school boardcandidates Helen Wardand Charter Lau, retiredteacher and VancouverSchool Board administra-tor Ben Seebaran, and BFCsupporter Linda Hancott.

The Camino de Santiago. An 800-kilometre spiritual pilgrimageacross northern Spain to a far-offcathedral, the supposed gravesite ofapostle St. James the Great.

In search of enlightenment, thousandsof Christians annually make the exten-sive walk to what the Romans calledFinisterrae, Latin for the end of theworld.

So whywould a seculartrio of Burnaby20-somethingswant to embarkon such an ardu-ous trek acrossthe land of thesetting sun? Tomake a film, ofcourse.

Will Ross, Devan Scott and DanielJeffery all recent graduates of SFUsfilm program are setting out to makea documentary about the expedition,combining contrasting filmic styles toillustrate the diverse viewpoints andexperiences of themselves and others onthe two-month journey.

Well be meeting hundreds of peoplewho are at a time in their lives whentheyre specifically seeking answers forthemselves, said Jeffery. Its a reallyripe time to connect with people andexpose those things about them.

Ourselves, well be going throughsomething similar.

The idea for the feature-length doccame six years ago courtesy of an inter-net forum where Scott saw one usersdeeply personal photo journal of thetrip it wasnt just a slideshow of land-marks. There was something more to it.

It got me thinking, it wouldmake a great subject for a docu-mentary. Im going to do thissomeday, said Scott.

The climax of it wasnt thathe got to this beautiful cathedralat the end of this big, symbolicjourney the climax was, I arrivedthere a different person than I was at thestart, added Ross.

While none of the guys are religious hence the films title, We Three Heathens they each have an anthropologicalinterest in how widespread beliefs came

to be.For Scott, this isnt his first foray

into spiritual cinema: He, along withtwo Catholic friends, spent four daysin a monastery filming a documentary

on monks who had removedthemselves from mainstreamsociety.

It gave me an opportunityto really see the lifestyle andkind of demystified a lot ofit for me, said Scott. It gotme fascinated with the culture

behind it and the thousands of years ofhistory created because of this.

For me, the interesting thing aboutreligion is that most of the great thingsthat people get out of religion are thingsthat I think I get too, said Ross. The

interesting thing is what makes thatcommon ground between people.

Rather than approach the trip liketravelogue documentaries, all three willcarry cameras and film from their ownperspectives, often migrating as a groupbut sometimes wandering in differentdirections.

As much as I expect us to be a groupmost of the time, I expect it to be a reallysolitary trip thats where I expect ten-sions to come up, said Ross. When youdo this sort of thing, youre in your headso much, youre thinking all the timeand you have nothing to do but talk. Ofcourse youre going to butt heads withother people.

That will be the reality TV angle ofthe trip, said Jeffery with a laugh.

To make it across the Atlantic inSeptember, the guys have started anIndiegogo campaign to raise $10,000,with stretch goals in $2,000 incrementsup to $20,000. While theyre close toreaching their base goal, any extra fundswill aid in making the film as best asthey possibly can.

If we get $20,000, we can make itwith a better camera, hire assistant edi-tors and have more money for the soundmix, said Scott.

They are also buying other equipmentso they can send footage to crew mem-bers back home, who will log the clips.

All three are going into the 60-daytrip with certain expectations: Theirpatience will be tried, their values will

Spiritual journey: From left, Will Ross, Devan Scott and Daniel Jeffery three graduates of SFUs film program are headingto Spain in September to film their 800-kilometre trek on the Camino de Santiago, a Christian pilgrimage to St. Jamessupposed burial site. The secular filmmakers are eager to meet others taking the journey and see how the trip impacts theirown opinions on religion.

be questioned and the ways they each see the worldwill likely shift.

But regardless of how things go across their routesto St. James, they know theyre coming back with a filmunlike their previous works.

I expect to, at the very minimum, meet some inter-esting people, investigate why theyre doing whattheyre doing and create a film that will communicatethose ideas to other people, said Scott.

I would hope that through our own style and guer-rilla tenacity that were able to make something thatdoes resonate with people, added Jeffery.

No matter what happens, well all grow as film-makers, but I hope that we go through some actual realpersonal development on the journey hopefully forthe better.

Green machine: Jeff Lee, energy operations manager, and Gateway Casinosgeneral manager Randy Sears at the Grand Villa Casinos new cooling tower.

Keeping cool, and green, at Grand Villa Casino

Larry Wright/burnaby now

Its not easy being green that is, unless youre talk-ing about the Grand VillaCasino.

The Burnaby casino washaving a problem; it wasstruggling to keep its cus-tomers cool during the hotsummer months.

The HVAC system usedto regulate the casinosindoor temperature couldonly offer a comfortableindoor temperature whenit was below 28 degreesoutside. Once the tempera-ture rose abovethat level into the30s, the systembecame overload-ed, and custom-ers and staff hadto struggle withindoor tempera-tures rising as highas 28 degrees.

Something hadto happen, butwith the cost of anew cooling towerrunning $425,000,a creative and out-of-the-box solution was desper-ately needed.

The team at GatewayCasinos and Entertainmentgot their heads togetherand came up with not onlya viable solution, but agreen one at that.

The Grand Villa Casinowas fitted with a new cool-ing towerandheat exchang-ers.What the tower didwascapture all the heat rejectedby the casino and redirect itto the hot water supply. Aswell, it reduced the strainon boilers and water heat-ers which gives them a

longer lifespan and lowerstotal energy consumption.

According to informa-tion provided by GatewayCasinos andEntertainment,the tower offers an annualenergy savings of nearly$90,000 per year.

Most importantly, forgoing so green, the casinowas offered incentives.With B.C. Hydro provid-ing $185,000 and FortisBCoffering another $43,000,the Grand Villa Casino waswithin its budget to addin the new cooling system.The tower has reducedthe casinos annual energy

costs by $120,000.The Grand

Villa Casino isnow in the pro-cess of installinga second cool-ing tower. Thereason? The firstsystem was over-worked.

The first towerhad been workedto the max, saidMichelle Lin,energy specialist

for Gateway.Installing a second

tower will keep patronsand staff comfortable dur-ing the warmmonths of thesummer.

For Lin, the big storybehind the cooling tow-ers is the funding. Withthe money in place, notonly could the Grand VillaCasino afford one tower,but now a second as well and that second coolingsystem will be completedwithin the next few weeks.

The legacy of this ener-gy saving practice has beencontagious. According to

the Grand Villa Casinowebsite, it became theworlds first casino to buyand use renewable naturalgas.

Further, the casino hasimproved its electricalusage by installing electric-ity-efficient lights.

But the casino didnot stop there. Organicfood waste is now placedin kitchen bins and thentaken to a processing plantmaking biofuel and com-post. The kitchen is alsofitted with energy-efficientequipment.

What started as a cre-ative solution to an over-heating problem hasbecome a tour de force forthe team behind the GrandVilla Casino. For them, thegreener the better.

Awinningweekend of racing firstsIt was a weekend of

many firsts for race cardriver Remo Ruscitti.

The 20-year-oldBurnaby driver took threecheckered flags in twoseparate InternationalMotor Sports Associationrace series, including thefirst-ever wins for bothAutometrics Motorsportsand 8Star Motorsportsat the Canadian TireMotrosport Park inBowmanville, Ont. thisweekend.

Ruscitti opened with8Stars first win in his rac-ing debut in PrototypeLights series on Saturday.

He then won for a sec-ond time in Round 8 ofthe series in the rain onSunday, taking first placein the 29-lap race in anlan DP02 by 17 secondsover JDC MotorsporstsMikhail Gokhberg.

On Saturday, Ruscittialso gave Autometrics itsfirst-ever team win in theContinental Tire SportsCar street tuner class, co-driving the teams No.04 Porsche Cayman withAdam Isman to the wire ina 26-car field.

It was awesome andI cant thank everybodyenough. Its sweeter thatthis was my first time inthe car and with the fact

that I won earlier today inmy ST car, so its a greatday, said Ruscitti in anIMSA press release.

In the Porsche, Ruscittiand Isman set a race laprecord of 1:33.568 on the2.459-mile circuit and then

outduelled Eric Foss ina BMW 328i for the leadwith two laps to go.

Earlier in the series,Ruscitti was in conten-tion for the lead at a racein Kansas City when theclutch failed. In a later

race, his car ran out offuel while in the lead atWatkins Glen.

At the only Canadianstop, the Autometrics carwas forced to start from therear of the pack because oftire issues. Isman brought

the car up to 12th placebefore handing the wheelto Ruscitti.

With 15 minutes to goand good on fuel, Ruscittibattled Foss and AndrewCarbonell, looking for histhird win of the series ina Mazda MX-5, down tothe wire.

Ruscitti took the leadon the second-to-last lapand held on for the win.

It was really a fightto the end, said Ruscittion a long-distance call totheNOW after winning histhird race of the weekend.

Today, I was just kindof happy. Im usuallygood in the wet. I seemedto pick up on it prettyquickly. I had the lead inthe third lap and pulledout to a nine-second lead.Its actually pretty hard tobelieve.

With just one more racein Indianapolis, Indianaon the schedule, Ruscittiis hoping there is a pos-sibility for more rides thisseason with either theAutometrics or 8Star teamsand further opportunitiesto thank his local sponsorsBBA Accounting Groupand Bosa Construction.

Hopefully, a lot ofpeople are taking notice,he said. Everyone knewwe had a good car (in ST),but in Lights, we provedits not just the car thatwon the race.

Team sweeps mens Giro, woman wins in debut

The Giro di Burnaby was ingood hands this year.

The California-based UnitedHeathcare team swept the podi-um at the Giro for a second time at

B.C. Superweekas Luke Keoughclaimed histhird straightpodium titlewith a victoryon the streets of

Burnaby Heights on Thursday,after earlier wins in UBC and thenight before in Gastown.

Keough led an all-UnitedHealthcare sweep with runner-upKen Hanson, the winner of the2012 Giro, and Australian HiltonClarke, the Giro di Burnaby win-ner in 2006, in third place in the45-lap, 55km mens criterium.

United Healthcare swept theprodium at the UBC Grand Prixearlier in the week and placed rid-ers first and third at Gastown.

Keough said achieving resultslike this may look easy to the

unpractised eye but it is hardwork.

People say it looks easy, butwe have six guys committed toone goal, he said.

Like the womens criterium, norider was able to establish a clearbreak from the pack, althoughTeam Colombias SebastianMolano and Jan-Niklas Droste ofTeam Heizomat tried, because thealignment of the course and thestrength of the headwind leadingup Hastings Street after the 180-degree hairpin turn on MadisonAvenue.

This race, everyone was rac-ing so fast, you just try and rideas fast as the breakaway, saidKeough after the race. You justhave to ride really steady.

Last year, United Healthcarewon 32 of 34 races the teamentered. They are doing equal-ly well this season. Keough alsoexpects the team to be back at theGiro next year.

To have a crowd like this,screaming and yelling, it givesus all the energy in the world tocome back next year, Keough

said. Weve heard its great racing(up here). Its just a prestige eventthat brought us here.
