City looking at ways to reduce police costs

SONG AND DANCE

Uganda’s Watoto Children’s Choir performed a fundraising concert to a full house at the Crossroads Community Church on Feb. 4.

The audience was treated to energetic evangelical songs with choreography combining aspects of traditional dances with modern moves.

The Watoto Children’s Choir is comprised of children orphaned by war or AIDS.

The Watoto charity includes a village to house the children, counselling, and educational and vocational training. During breaks in the performance, the choir members shared their stories with the audience.

The Merritt stop was one on the choir’s third week of its six-month cross-Canada Oh, What Love tour.

The City of Merritt is looking at ways to reduce its policing budget, which is one of the city’s biggest line items each year.

As a city with a popula-tion under 15,000, Merritt pays 70 per cent of its police costs. The federal govern-ment covers the remaining 30 per cent.

City of Merritt finan-cial services manager Ken Ostraat told city council at its budget meeting on Jan. 28 that policing costs total $2,557,390 for 2015.

This budget has hovered near the $2.5 million mark for the past few years.

Ostraat said that although the city has little authority to change policing costs, there are some ways they can go about lowering them.

Nearly $100,000 a year could be saved after purchas-ing the police detachment from the federal govern-ment, he said.

The city pays rent to the federal government for the police station building at an annual charge of approxi-mately $96,000.

The city is also respon-sible for half of the build-ing’s maintenance costs, which brings that number

to approximately $187,000 per year.

Ostraat told council the debt servicing they’d pay to purchase the building would be cheaper than renting.

Even if the building was purchased at its full appraised value of $1.2 million, the city could take out a 20-year loan from the Municipal Finance Author-ity and pay about $80,000 per year, thus saving $16,000

annually. “At some point, that loan

would be paid off and then we’re done,” Ostraat said.

He said Public Works Canada is open to selling the building to the city and the two parties are currently working out the details.

If the city owned the building, it could also look for savings in maintenance costs as well, Ostraat said.

In the event the city buys

the police station, the provin-cial and federal governments would still pay for half of the maintenance costs, he said.

Ostraat hopes to bring a report to council on this acquisition in March.

Merritt is among a hand-ful of municipalities in B.C. negotiating the acquisition of their police buildings.

BATTER UP!

There’s something you don’t see every day: a slow-pitch tournament on outdoor ball fields in January.

Covering the snowy bases were hardy members of slow-pitch teams who converged on Merritt’s Central Park ball diamonds for the first annual Sno-Pitch Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 31.

The tournament was a fundraiser for the local Aces slow-pitch team for the co-ed tournament it hosts in August.

Heart Month campaigns underway in MerrittThose stopping

and shopping at vari-ous businesses around Merritt will be seeing red on Friday.

Feb. 13 marks the annual Dress Red event in Merritt, which raises money and aware-ness for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Employees at busi-nesses and organiza-tions around town dress in red that day, and many even dress up their locations with heart-themed decora-tions in order to win high scores from a panel of judges.

At stake is a gift basket from Heart and Stroke, as well as six months with the event’s stuffed monkey mascot with the winner’s name emblazoned on his T-shirt.

Businesses make donations to Heart and Stroke to participate in the friendly competi-tion, which was started locally and spearheaded for years by Hub Barton Insurance.

This year, Hub Barton has passed the torch to the Kamloops chapter of Heart and Stroke to organize.

As of the Merritt Herald’s press deadline

on Friday, nine busi-nesses had signed up to participate — eight returning and one new addition.

Last year, Merritt participants raised over $1,200 for Heart and Stroke during Dress Red.

All the money raised locally stays local, and is used for initiatives such as providing the local hospital with resources

and the Heart Smart Kids program, which provides healthy lifestyle materials to teachers.

It’s no coincidence the heart-health aware-ness campaign kicks off the day before Valentine’s Day.

February is Heart Month across Canada.

During the month, Merrittonians can expect a knock on their door from one of close

to 90 canvassers and seven volunteer captains raising money for Heart and Stroke.

Last year, Merrittonians donated $12,177 to the founda-tion during the cam-paign — $5,500 of which came from local schools.

“The work the foun-dation does with the donors’ dollars really does create survivors,”

area manager Teresa Moore wrote in an email.

Heart disease and stroke are one of the leading causes of death in Canada, and claim one Canadian life every seven minutes, accord-ing to the foundation.

Since it was estab-lished as the National Heart Foundation in 1956, the Heart and Stroke Foundation has

raised and invested more than $1.3 billion

in heart disease and stroke research.

Plans to tackle pest problem

For the first time ever, the Merritt Forestry District is going to tackle its Western Spruce Bud-worm pest problem with the use of the biological pesticide B.T., forest health technician Pat Byrne reported last Friday.

B.T. is the same pesticide that was used to fight the Gypsy moth prob-lem in the Lower Mainland last spring.

Merritt is being added to the list of provincial communi-ties choosing to use this form of pest control because the problem has been classified as “mod-erate to severe.”

“The budworm has an 11-year cycle in this area. Occa-sionally, it becomes a problem. It’s com-ing up to that time again,” Byrne said.

Since 1900, at least six Western Spruce Budworm outbreaks have occurred in South-ern B.C., a forestry report states.

Nature vs. nurture theme of penultimate fi lm

The fifth of six films presented by the Nico-la Valley Film Society plays Monday at NVIT.

Like Father, Like Son tells the story of two Japanese families rebuilding their lives after confronting the realization their sons were switched at birth.

One family lives in a modern Tokyo high-rise and is made up of a workaholic architect (played by Japanese pop star Fukuyama), his docile stay-at-home wife and a boy who is not

their biological son.Their biological son is being raised in a

modest apartment with two siblings by parents who run an appliance shop outside the city.

Subtle, poignant and beautifully scored, this moving drama follows four parents and two boys as they contemplate what defines a family.

The film begins at 7 p.m. in NVIT’s lecture theatre. Tickets are available at the door.

With big ticket items of a new fire truck and engine bay scratched off the list last year, the Merritt Fire Rescue Department aims to buy some accessories in 2015.

The new truck is expected to be deliv-ered in November, but will require some new equipment to go with it.

Equipment for the new fire truck will cost about $60,000, which will cover items such as a hose, nozzles and various tools in the proposed budget for the MFRD in 2015.

The fire department carries five breath-ing apparatuses on three of its vehicles and is requesting five more for the new truck.

MFRD currently has 21 in inventory for the 40 or so firefighters who serve the com-munity.

It will cost about $26,000 for the five new breathing apparatuses, the funding for which is to come from 2015 reserve funds.

Fire Chief Dave Tomkinson said the MFRD has an adequate number of breath-ing apparatuses for their day-to-day opera-tions, but in the event of a large fire, there aren’t enough to go around.

The short supply was problematic for MFRD in June of 2014 during the Quilche-na Avenue fire when almost all of Merritt’s firefighters responded to the blaze.

Firefighters who were in the burning building all had breathing apparatuses. However, many of the firefighters outside the building did not have them to wear.

Breathing apparatuses protect a firefight-er’s lungs from smoke, super-heated gases and carcinogens.

Also in the MFRD budget for 2015 is the implementation of new dispatching software called E-Link, which simplifies dispatching with geographic information system (GIS) mapping.

Under the current system for first responder services, 911 dispatchers route calls to the BC Ambulance Service, which then makes a landline call to the fire dis-patch centre in Kamloops if firefighters are needed.

With the E-Link system, the Kamloops fire dispatchers see the medical incidents on the same screen that 911 calls are received, essentially cutting out a step in the process, and the software would decide whether or not to call out the MFRD.

“There would be no delay and no human intervention,” Tomkinson told council at its budget meeting on Jan. 28.

The cost of implementing E-Link would be about $7,000.

Meeting with justice ministry in the worksOf the $2.5 million

in the budget for polic-ing this year, about $1.8 million goes to police force costs and another $108,000 is used to house prisoners at the detachment.

“That’s a little bit less than past years. Our costs are coming down a little bit because the number of prisoners in the lock-up has been dropping,” Ostraat said.

He said Merritt pays about $10,000 per month to house prison-ers.

The city pays to house prisoners based

on the provincial gov-ernment’s method of calculating reimburse-ment to municipalities.

The issue here, Ostraat said, is that unlike larger cities, Merritt doesn’t have full-time guards, nor does it typically house more than two or three people at a time.

Ostraat said that when a handful of pris-oners come in, it costs the city about $30 per hour to house them, but the province only reimburses about $7 per hour per prisoner.

“If we only have one or two or maybe three prisoners, we’re not recovering the full

amount of the cost of actually guarding them, let alone what it costs to feed them and whatever medical costs that are being incurred for those individuals,” Ostraat told council.

Next month, Ostraat will be among rep-resentatives from a handful of other small municipalities meeting with the Ministry of Justice in Richmond to discuss a solution to this problem.

Ostraat said the police costs for this city are higher than he expects to see in most communities of Mer-ritt’s size.

Council can choose to par-ticipate in the Adopt-A-Road Program or council can choose to not participate in the pro-gram.

Merritt Community Enhancement Partnership

Program

The City of Merritt is facili-tating a community enhance-ment partnership in the form

of an Adopt-A-Road program. The program provides pri-

vate organizations, clubs and citizens the opportunity to assist the city in keeping Mer-ritt beautiful by volunteering their labour to pick up litter and debris along street front-ages.

This involvement helps the city provide a higher level of service.

Volunteers agree to look after their road either in all or part, the minimum length being one kilometre. An orga-nization will be allowed to vol-unteer for more than one area.

Volunteer responsibilities

• Pick up litter along the street(s) rights of way at least three times per year for a mini-mum of two years.

• The minimum three pick-

ups may be undertaken at any time of year

• Avoid contact with items that may have potential to be hazardous or cause injury such as heavy objects, syringes, ani-mal bodies, etc.

• Advise the city’s program co-ordinator of any illegal dumping sites.

City’s responsibility

• Provide bags for volunteers• Supply safety vests upon

request• Pick up full bags on the

following work day if the group requests pick up at the site

• Provide third-party liability insurance coverage for regis-tered volunteers under the City of Merritt insurance policy

• Notify all volunteers, in writing, of any changes to the program.

Hydro project 85% completeThe following is an excerpt from the City of Merritt regular council meeting agenda from Feb. 10, 2015.

MAT project

Upgrades at the Merritt substation are approximately 85 per cent complete.

A small crew has been working through the winter connecting equipment in prepara-tion for the arrival of new transformers in July 2015.

Approximately 28 kilometres of the new transmission line are complete, with the remainder on track to be completed by April 2015.

This includes the last two-kilometre sec-tion across Highway 97C into the Highland substation (located near Mamette Lake) and the last five-kilometre section through Merritt into the Merritt substa-tion.

Following comple-tion of the MAT project, BC Hydro will upgrade a portion of the existing transmis-sion line in Merritt to support Merritt Green Energy, an indepen-dent power producer, in providing safe, reli-able electricity.

Three kilometres of the existing 69-kilovolt transmission line, starting at the Merritt substation and heading west along Voght Street

and Highway 8, will be removed and replaced

with a 138-kilovolt transmission line.

The Anti-Terrorism Act

On Jan. 30, the federal government introduced Bill C-51: The Anti-Ter-rorism Act. This is a bill that proposes a number of changes to enhance the abilities of our security agencies to bet-ter protect Canadians against terrorists and acts of terrorism. There are eight key measures proposed in this bill.

The first measure is to increase the mandate of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to include the ability to disrupt potential threats to Canadians when there are believed to be reasonable grounds to do so. In the event that disrupting a potential terrorist act may be in contravention to the Charter or other Canadian laws, a court order issued by a judge would be required to authorize such actions.

CSIS will also have the ability to issue a temporary threat disruption order that is intended to be limited to a maximum of 120 days. The intent of this provision is to prevent individu-als from engaging in acts of terrorism, sabotage or other serious criminal acts.

Another provision proposed in this anti-terrorism bill is the criminalization against those who knowingly promote or otherwise encourage terrorist attacks against Canadians. Under Canada’s current laws, a specific terrorism offence must be referenced in order to be a criminal act. Under the new definition, any instructions to carry out terror-ist attacks against Canadians can be a criminal offence subject to a maximum of five years in prison if convicted.

Another such proposal as is the abil-ity to seize terrorist propaganda. This is a change that would be made to the Criminal Code (and be subject to an order by a judge) that would allow materials to be seized if they promote or encourage attacks against Canadians or otherwise recruit those who would do Canadians harm.

These changes would work in a simi-lar manner as current provisions that enable child pornography to be seized.

February: the shortest month, yet it takes forever to end.

It begins the weary waning of winter, alter-nately teasing fans of fairer weather with invigorating, sunshine-y days and drizzly, overcast and windy weeks.

But a lot is crammed into February’s 28 days, which oh-so-satisfyingly began with Sunday, Feb. 1 and end on Saturday, Feb. 28.

My neatly dated calen-

dar shows our next holiday to look forward to is Valen-tine’s Day on Saturday. And the spectrum of cynical to sincere approaches to Val-entine’s Day is not strictly a Western phenomenon.

Japanese Valentine’s Day customs tradition-ally begin on Feb. 14 with women presenting gifts (especially chocolates) to the men they like and love, and culminates on March 14, known as White Day.

On White Day, men give gifts back to the women who gave them nice things the month prior — sometimes white chocolate, as the name would imply.

However, just as some people refer to North America’s Valentine’s Day as a Hallmark holiday, Japan’s Valentine’s Day celebrations are a custom of questionable origin: it’s believed the gift exchange was a marketing ploy start-

ed by the National Confec-tionery Industry Association in the 1970s.

Regardless, it’s not typi-cally a bad idea to ply your sweetie with sweets, so I say go ahead and share the candy-coated love.

Next up is the festival of indulgent revelry Mardi Gras, which falls on Feb. 17.

Mardi Gras translates from French literally to “Fat Tuesday” in English, and comes just before Ash Wednesday — the Catholic beginning of Lent, where indulgences are given up for 40 days.

Perhaps most famous in New Orleans, La. for its sleazy bead-trading antics, that city held its first Mardi Gras celebration in 1718, and besides the after-parade crowds on Bourbon Street, actually throws a very family-centred festival.

Celebrations includes

street performances, jazz music wafting through the cobbled streets, and doz-ens of grassroots-formed themed parades, all steeped in colourful Creole Carni-val tradition.

Then comes Chinese New Year, which begins on Feb. 19 and marks the beginning of a new lunar year on the Chinese cal-endar.

The day’s celebrations include a flurry of decora-tions (often red in colour) and wishes for happiness, wealth, fortune and longev-ity in the coming year.

Over the next two weeks, revellers give gifts, visit with family and friends, and take some time to relax.

Toward the end of the month, people in the Philippines celebrate People Power Anniversary between Feb. 22 and 25 to mark the end of tyranny

and the return of democ-racy to their archipelago in 1986.

Three days of huge public demonstrations beginning on Feb. 22, 1986, combined with military opposition and backed by U.S. support, pressured dic-tator Ferdinand Marcos to resign on Feb. 25.

Today, People Power Anniversary is a school holiday and is celebrated with concerts and activities in major centres. People often wear yellow, the colour of the political party that challenged Marcos and brought the corruption of the government of the day to international powers.

I think most people could benefit from, taking some time to relax and remember what’s good in life this February — even if it does take a day marked on a calendar to remind us to do that.

Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to add my voice to the growing opposition to the decision of the B.C. government to reduce my family’s hunting oppor-tunities by increasing the opportu-nities for foreign big game trophy hunters and foreign-owned guide outfitters.

Not all guide outfitter companies are foreign-owned, but a growing number are because the rest of the world has seen that the province of B.C.’s wildlife is for sale.

My family is now entering the fifth generation of hunters. My grandson will experience his first

hunting trip this fall accompanied by his father and grandfather.

This is a family experience which has included uncles, nephews and friends on different trips and has been an annual ritual to gather sus-tenance for our families for genera-tions.

This is the elders’ opportunities to teach the young men and women stewardship of the land and fair play.

The opportunities to have these family experiences is about to be reduced by this horrible decision to reduce resident hunting opportuni-ties while increasing foreign hunter opportunities.

Instead of looking after the very

people who cherish this resource, the very people who pay to conserve the resource, the taxpayers and voters of this province, this government has chosen to give away our wildlife and hunting opportunities to foreign-owned guide outfitters, using foreign-hired guides and foreign trophy hunters.

Instead, this B.C. government or any B.C. government that follows should be legislating against foreign ownership.

No sale of guide outfitting areas should be allowed to any foreign owner and the owner must be a B.C. resident and must operate the guide

company personally to curtail sub-letting to foreigners, which is also a common practice now.

Guides and their clients should not be entitled to any more than 10 per cent of any resource in this province.

We have foreign owners now buy-ing up huge tracks of land and deny-ing access to residents.

This government and successive governments must reverse this trend and give our province back to the residents.

Gordon MitchellLogan Lake

Dear Editor,

B.C.’s sewage sludge regulations, wrongly titled the Organic Matter Recycling Regulation (OMRR), poses a new danger to the health of British Columbians. As it now stands, the OMRR is full of predict-able problems:

Self-enforcement of the regula-• tionsLack of permitting processes• Lack of requirements for • labelling products made from sludgeNo monitoring required for • virusesLack of environmental moni-• toring for all possible contami-nantsLack of stringent standards • to prevent leaching of sludge-borne contaminants into groundwater.

Sludge can be spread 30 metres from adjacent homes, lakes, streams

and wells.The allowable levels of heavy

metals are many times higher than those allowed in Europe.

The regulations do not require testing for any industrial chemicals recognized as toxic or antibiotics.

There are no limits to the amount of sludge per hectare.

Land which receives sewage sludge is exempt from contaminated sites regulations.

The Ministry of Environment is unable to monitor or enforce com-pliance, according to the provincial auditor general and the British Columbia Government Employees’ Union.

It is obvious that the OMRR is designed to facilitate the distribution of sewage sludge without any real consideration for the impact it will have on the quality of life of citizens.

George ChristouMerritt

Organic Matter Recycling Regulation problematic

Changes to Canada’s Immigra-tion and Refugee Protection Act are also proposed as part of these eight key measures. It is proposed that the government can use and protect classified information to determine if non-Canadians can enter Canada or, in other cases, remain in Canada. Other proposed changes include modifications to Canada’s Passenger Protect Program.

This is an air travel program that was created in 2007 and the pro-posed changes seek to improve the process of removing potential threats from commercial flights in a more expedited manner.

Aside from the measures already mentioned, it is also proposed to increase information sharing between Canada’s national security agencies while adhering to the Privacy Act.

Another key proposal includes strengthened enforcement prevention provisions. The enhanced preven-tion provisions include the ability to detain suspected terrorists before they can harm Canadians. Although the threshold to make an arrest is low-ered in these changes, they remain subject to judicial oversight by neces-sitating an authorization by a judge for detention.

Lastly, Bill C-51 proposes enhancements to witness protection. Currently, the witness protection pro-

gram is structured to protect those who provide evidence in criminal matters. The changes proposed in the anti-terror bill similarly ensure that witnesses in matters involving nation-al security are also protected.

This is a brief summary of the measures proposed in Bill C-51. The federal Liberals have indicated support for this bill while the NDP position is still unclear (from my per-spective). Although there were other items I had intended to include in this week’s report, as this is a very important bill, it has been the focus for my report this week.

We’ve also learned over the past few days of arrests being made by RCMP in Ottawa relating to ter-rorism and also of the disturbing execution of a pilot who was savagely burned alive by the terror group ISIL.

In my view, it is important that our Canadian laws allow our enforce-ment agencies to keep pace protect-ing Canadians and safeguarding our values from those who are calling out for further attacks against us. If you have further comments, questions or concerns on this or any bill before the House of Commons, do not hesitate to contact my office. I can be reached at [email protected] or toll-free at 1-800-665-8711.

Young motocross rider performs on the big stageBy Ian WebsterTHE HERALD

[email protected]

It’s not often that a seven-and-a-half-year-old youngster from the Nicola Valley gets to take his cho-sen sport to the international level and perform in front of 60,000 screaming fans.

Merritt resident Lane Schultz, a Grade 2 French immersion student at Collettville Elementary School who’s passionate about motorbikes, got to do just that a month ago when he competed at the AMA Monster Energy Supercross in Phoenix, Arizona on January 10.

Schultz was one of 15 hand-picked seven-and-eight-year-olds, and the only Canadian, to take part in the KTM Junior Supercross Challenge — held mid-way through the professional rac-ing program at a sold-out Chase Field, home of major league base-ball’s Arizona Diamondbacks.

Lane’s mom, Jill, explained how her son wound up in Phoenix and on the world stage.

“One of Lane’s dirtbik-ing friends (Rhett Bates from Kelowna) did the KTM Junior last year,” she said. “His family encouraged me to at least apply, even though I didn’t think it would ever happen. But, if you don’t try, you’ll never know. I didn’t want to regret not even trying.”

Jill sent the application to the American Motocross Association in late November. The Schultzes were shocked to receive an accep-tance reply on December 14.

“We were actually plan-ning a road trip to California at Christmas with all the kids,” she said. “We cancelled that trip. My mom and dad came down from Smithers to look after our two younger boys, Evan and Owen, because it would have been just too much driving for them.”

Lane’s too little brothers were young enough to not fully compre-hend that they’d just lost out on Christmas vacation in the sun.

“Luckily, grandma and grandpa coming to visit sort of outweighed everything else,” Jill said with a laugh.

Lane and his mom and dad (Monty) left on January 2 and headed to California first before making their way to Phoenix. In the Golden State, Lane had the opportunity to ride and practice at several well-known motocross tracks in the communities of Perris, Cahuilla and Riverside, Calif.

Phoenix itself was an experi-ence Lane and his parents will never forget.

All the young riders were given

brand-new, identically-prepared KTM 50 SXS motorcycles to ride. They got to walk around the track, do two practice sessions, sign auto-graphs for fans, and meet some of their heroes in the sport of moto-cross.

“They got to chat with the likes of pro riders Ryan Dungey and Malcolm Stewart and even see Ryan’s moto rig.” Jill said.

“Meeting the supercross pros was cool!” Lane said. “My dad

and I were in the staging area where all the pros came out, and I got to thumbs up all the riders. That was awesome.

“Being introduced at the open-ing ceremonies was also lots of fun,” Lane added. “They had huge fireworks and fog, and we were all on the platform waving.”

For Lane’s mom, Jill, it was all a bit overwhelming.

“The screaming for them from the crowd was unbelievable. It was

one of the proudest moments you could have,” she said. “It brought a tear to my eye the second I saw Lane with all the other kids. I was just so excited for him. I probably went paparazzi-crazy. I tried to capture everything.”

The Junior Challenge race itself was a thrill for Lane, who had to ride one of the sponsor KTM bikes rather than his own familiar 2014 King Cobra 50cc.

“When we were waiting at the

gate to race, I kept trying to find myself on the big screen,” he said. “My dad had to keep turning my head to get me to focus on the gate and the start. I was so excited to be the only Canadian. I could hear the crowd cheering for me when they announced my name.”

“Lane was extremely nervous,” his mom said. “We kept reminding him that it was only for fun. All we wanted was for him to enjoy himself.”

The young motocross stars-of-the-future raced three full laps on the same course that the pros were riding that night, complete with huge rollers, stepups and tabletops and steep corners.

Lane managed to finish 11th in the field of 15 — pretty darn good for a seven-year-old up against many riders a year older than him. Getting used to an unfamiliar bike was no small challenge.

“The KTM was way different from my Cobra,” Lane explained. “It was hard to lean into the corners. I felt like I was going to crash. Luckily, my friend (Tyler Buvold, Langley) let me borrow his KTM to take to California, so I got some practice on one before I had to race.”

Thanks to his father, who also races motocross competitively and acts as his son’s mechanic, Lane has definite strategies when he’s competing.

“I don’t want to give away all my secrets,” Lane said, “but my dad always tells me to keep my eyes on the first turn when the [start] gate drops, to not look at the other riders and to try not to jump the gate. I’ve done that a couple of times and it hurts pretty bad. One time I hit the gate so hard I broke it right off.”

Injuries are inevitable in the sport of motocross, but fortunately Lane’s have all been of the minor variety — just bumps and bruises.

“He’s knocked the wind out of himself, too, and actually gone over the handlebars a couple of times but, luckily, nothing serious has happened,” Lane’s mom said. “He’s always eager to keep going.

“The riders all have to wear a neck brace, a chest protector, elbow protectors, knee guards and everything,” Jill added.

Despite his youthfulness, Lane is a veteran when it comes to rid-ing a motorbike and competing in motocross.

“Lane first climbed on a bike at age two-and-a-half, and was riding by himself at three,” Jill said. “He started racing at six and has prob-ably competed 30 times.”

SPORTS

Lane races both outdoors and indoors, primarily around B.C. in the Future West Series.

In addition to working with his dad, Lane also receives instruc-tion from pro riders like Sean Hamblin, Kyle Beaton and Ryan Lockhart at clinics and through occasional private lessons.

Most of Lane’s racing takes place at the Coast, in the Chilliwack and Abbotsford’s areas, but this fall, he also competed in Armstrong.

“They’re trying to pro-mote the sport outside the Lower Mainland,” Jill said. “In Armstrong, they used one of the big barns at the fair grounds. They brought in all the dirt for the weekend.”

The Schultzes make frequent trips to the Coast for practices and for races.

“We’re very lucky that we own our own company, so we can usu-ally make our schedule work for us,” Jill said. “Next weekend, we’re probably heading down to the Chilliwack/Abbotsford area where we all practise in the sand beside the [Fraser] River. Everyone meets up and builds little tracks.”

Lane has already enjoyed con-siderable success in his relatively short motocross career. He was fourth in the 2013-14 Canadian

Arenacross Series, third in the 2014 Future West Fall Series and second in the 2015 Future West Spring-Summer Series.

Lane says that you have to be aggressive and super fast to race motocross, and be prepared to keep the throttle tapped, even when you’re scared and your legs feel like Jell-O. His goals for this year are to win as many trophies as he can, and maybe even get on a race team if he’s fast enough.

Lane’s two younger siblings are itching to follow in their big brother’s footsteps.

“Evan is four and Owen is two-and-a-half. Evan just started racing last year, while Owen can’t

wait to get his turn on a bike,” their mom said.

“It’s definitely a family-friendly sport. I just love that we can go to the races and spend the weekend with other moto families. The kids all play together, get on the track and race, and then get off the track and play some more.”

“My brothers crack me up; they’re so funny,” Lane said. “When Evan and I practice, he always tells me what I need to do to copy him. Owen is going to be crazy on a bike.”

As for Lane’s favorite motocross rider? It’s his dad, of course.

Talk about keeping it in the family!

MAKING THE GRADE

The qualification standards for making the KTM Junior Supercross are very strict. In addition to age, height and weight restrictions, there is also an academic standard: Riders must maintain above average marks in school. A report card is required for proof of current grades.

“Because of the strike at the beginning of the year, we weren’t able to get a report card for Lane in time for the application,” Jill Schultz said. “Lane’s teacher at Collettville School, M. Mackay-Smith, was kind enough to write a letter of recommendation for him. She is such a great teacher, and Lane is so lucky to have had her for two years.”
