Golf club seeks $60K from townThe Hirsch Creek Golf and Winter Club is

seeking a $60,000 advance on a � nancial support application they’ve submitted to the District to keep them going through their year-end.

The money would go towards reducing their overdraft fees and to provide a boost to their op-erations through to the end of the calendar year.

The request was not debated or voted on by councillors at the August 17 public meeting.

Golf club President Robin Lapointe says the club at the moment is $277,000 in the hole, in-cluding $196,000 of long-term debt.

The entirety of the club’s � nancial request to the town is $162,000.

The club has had a better year than perhaps even the club board would have thought. Operationally they had better revenues, which Lapointe says was partly due to the good weather and an early start to the season.

Even that good fortune was tempered with capital expenses which had surfaced over the past year.

The immense snow dump in February crushed their driving range cover and they’ll need to replace that. A techni-cian’s report on the curling rink’s condenser revealed it would have to be raised, which is estimated to cost $30,000.

Another $30,000 is estimated to replace the dehumidi� er in the curling rink as well.

While the condenser will just provide bet-ter ef� ciency, the dehumidi� er itself will require replacement before they can begin making ice again.

The cost for the driving range cover is esti-mated at $40,000, but that is a temporary bud-get, and may be reduced once the board � nds out how much industrial donation will � t in to it. He said the steel has already been donated, but costs such as equipment are so far unknown.

The club’s golf pro Steve Haggard said the revenues from curling last year was approxi-mately $50,000.

Mayor Phil Germuth said the community does need it’s golf course, but the council has

not, by our printing date, debated the � nancial request from the club directly.

“There’s no doubt they’re getting everything in order there. The new manager, the new executive are doing a great job,” said Germuth.“They’re de� nitely in a much bet-ter position than they were, management wise and account-ability wise.”

Last year the golf club did receive $100,000 support from the District of Kitimat, which was also tied in to deals which may give the District of Kitimat ownership of certain areas of land near the golf club which the course owns.

A grand stand in tree future?

District planners contemplate plaza to house tree, seating

Cameron OrrThe Gyro Christmas tree remains standing

but still no one knows where it will be months down the road.

Despite that, the District of Kitimat has put some concepts down on paper, even if there’s been nothing committed too.

The Director of Community Planning and Development Gwen Sewell said there are some concepts that involve the tree in a relocated park space, with the development of amphitheater style seating in the area.

Any proposed developments relating to this tree would of course depend on its successful transplant to a new location, a process which isn’t guaranteed if it’s even carried out.

The Gyro Club have been responsible in maintaining the tree over the past many years, although the Sentinel has learned that it was the Jaycees club, rather than the Gyros, who planted the original tree in the 1960s.

The Gyro Club was expected to meet August 20 to talk about their plans on the tree.

Sewell said the District has a potential site at the corner of Lahakas and Haisla, effectively right next door to the Haisla Town Centre, that could be used for a new tree location, “in possibly a plaza-kind-of location with amphitheater seating to al-low other events to occur that space.”

The tree will eventually have to go one way or another to make way for road access to the Haisla Town Centre development at that location.

A sweet smileKitimat Leisure Services hosted a Picnic in the Park August 20, held in the Lions Park between the library and the Century House building. The event was well attended and there was cake served for those who came out, and whipped cream plates served for this volunteer at the Pie in the Face station.

“They’re defi nitely in a much better

position than they were,

management wise and

accountability wise.”

Police Beat

Police warn against multiple scamsAugust 10The Kitimat

RCMP received a complaint from an in-dividual who felt that he was the victim of fraud.

The person stated that he had completed a transaction online in order to obtain a loan.

Money was sent to the corporation, only to later determine that it was not a legitimate business and the mon-ey sent is now unrecov-erable.

Police are suggest-ing that the public only deal with legitimate fi-nancial institutions for loans and transactions.

August 13A report of a trailer

theft was called to the police, when a black PJ cargo trailer, which had been used to hold a wa-ter tank at the Kitimat Snowflake Grounds, had been taken some-time over the past few days.

The water tank had been removed and left at the grounds.

There was no li-cence plate on the trailer.

August 14A pick-up truck

was reported stolen (seen below) and later discovered lit on fire. Police say they believe the vehicle may have been left unlocked with a spare key inside it.

The truck was found August 17 when police and the fire de-partment were called to a vehicle fire off of Kitamaat Village Road.

Police say indi-viduals well known to the police were located nearby but the inves-tigation is ongoing at this point.

Police responded to another fraud report, this time a telephone scam.

They say the com-plainant says they re-ceived a call from a person purporting to be from the Canada Revenue Agency, at-tempting to scare them in to paying a fictitious

debt. The complainant,

police say, felt obli-gated to send money through a well-known third-party money transaction corporation to an individual in Ed-monton.

The complainant admitted to doing so, but felt that this meth-od was not authentic

and called the RCMP prior to sending more money.

The scam is com-mon enough that the CRA has an extensive website detailing their concerns on others us-ing their name to extort money.

For information on scams or to report deceptive telemarket-

ing, contact the Ca-nadian Anti-Fraud Centre online at www.antifraudcentre-centre-antifraude.ca, or call 1-888-495-8501.

If you believe you’ve been the victim of fraud or have given personal and financial imformation unwit-tingly, contact the local police.

Bulkley Valley resident Rod Tay-lor, the leader of the Christian Heritage Party, isn’t running in the Skeena – Bulkley Valley rid-ing in this federal election.

Instead Tay-lor, elected as his party’s leader last fall, is running in the nation’s capital in the Ottawa West-Nepean riding.

“I thought it important as leader to bring the [Chris-tian Heritage Party] message to the Capital Region,” said Taylor today.

Northwestern party members are expected to choose their candidate for this riding early this week.

Taylor has run as the party candi-date in the 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2011 federal elec-tions. In 2011 he received just under 3 per cent of the vote.

Taylor’s new riding was rep-resented by John Baird who, until his resignation earlier this year, served in several senior cabinet posts in the Conservative gov-ernment.

Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP candidate Nathan Cullen has opened his campaign office for Kitimat, which is on the third floor of the Century House building (where RBC and BMO are located.) His office opened August 18.

Conservative can-didate Tyler Nesbitt has made no commit-ments to a Kitimat campaign office. His media representative says there is discus-sion ongoing whether volunteers in the cam-paign want a Kitimat office or would rather work out of a Terrace-based office. She said they should know sometime this week which direction they’ll go.

REGIONAL BRIEFS

Councillor responds to union requestCameron Orr

Councillor Mary Murphy is still encour-aging people to attend the annual union-or-ganized Labour Day picnic, even if Kitimat Council has been spe-cifically excluded from the event.

Murphy asked for the letter from Unifor Local 2301, included in the August 17 coun-cil agenda package’s information packet, to be brought out under new business so she could speak to the is-sue.

The letter is the one, signed by the lo-cal Unifor Business Agent Martin McIl-wrath, which says the

Local 2301 executive has motioned to “not allow Kitimat Mayor & Council to attend our 2015 Labour Day picnic event.”

No one from Lo-cal 2301 has so far responded to the Sen-tinel’s request for com-ment, and we were told last week the entire executive was away on union business and un-reachable.

An effort to reach Local 2300 also did not result in a returned phone call prior to our press deadline.

In reacting to the letter at the August 17 council meeting, Mur-phy said that as much as she’ll respect the

union’s wishes she en-couraged others not to boycott the event.

“I wanted to say I hope that everybody puts their differences aside and...attend the labour day picnic and make it a really suc-cessful event,” she said.

She also highlight-ed her own history in establishing the picnic as an event in Kitimat.

“I plan on follow-ing their wishes and not attend but I did want the community to know I was instrumen-tal, along with many of my family members, of making that day a suc-cess. It’s advocating [improved] working conditions for labour and it’s a really good social and educational event. It’s in the honour of labour.”

Mayor Phil Ger-muth said he hasn’t had much conversation with 2300 members on this issue but he has had a few words with

2301 members.“I’ve heard

through the grapevine that some of [2300] workers weren’t happy [with the letter],” he said, but said he’s had a number of 2301 work-ers come by and all have been quite upset over it.

His contact with the 2301 executive it-self has been limited since the release of the letter. Germuth recalled what he felt was a very cordial conversation he had with 2301 presi-dent Sean O’Driscoll at Rio Tinto Alcan’s first pour special event in July where relationship building was brought up, but that was it un-

til he learned they wouldn’t be invited to the picnic.

“We had a good time. We talked about building the relations,” said Germuth of that event in July.

Germuth also en-courages people to at-tend the event and to not shut it out due to this current contro-versy.

“We’re not advo-cating anyone boycott it. You should go out and have a good time,” he said, adding that he understands it’s an ex-ecutive-specific deci-sion and he isn’t hold-ing any hard feelings on this to the general 2301 membership.

Monthly break down of crime statsCameron Orr

Police statistics continue to show a year generally down from the last in terms of crime files.

There were two sexual assault files opened in Kitimat in July, down two at the same time last year.

There were five assaults with a weapon files opened for July as well.

Sgt. Graham Morgan said two related to riverbank assaults, another file referred to an assault against dirt bikers on Kitamaat Village Road, another was a domestic file and in the fifth the person did not want to lay charges.

Vehicle thefts are on par with this time last year at 10.

There were four cases in July, versus three cases for the same

month last year.There was a single drug traffick-

ing file for July, and two cases of marijuana possession.

Drug trafficking is just one file short than what it was the same time last year.

There were 10 total files in 2014.There have been very few bear

calls for the RCMP this year, but with the animal calls they are receiv-ing (four in July) mainly are to do with dogs.

“The animal calls mainly consist of dogs left in vehicles on hot days...or dog bites,” said Morgan.

There were 43 traffic tickets handed out for the month of July, and 64 warnings were issued as well.

4 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, August 26, 2015

When you are already in Brit-ish Columbia the urging to “go west, young man” is redundant and in post World War II B.C. the best direction to turn for new opportunities and adven-ture was to “go north.”

In 1957, a young Japanese-Canadi-an couple with north stars in their eyes were James (Jim) Hajime Wakita and his bride Mihoko (Miyo) Wakita.

Not long after their wedding in Revelstoke, in 1956, the couple began the journey to the � edging industrial community of Kitimat, the head of the Douglas Channel, where the then-Alu-minum Company of Canada, Alcan, had launched one of the largest aluminum smelters in the world, along with B.C.’s newest planned city.

They had relatives in the town who had started a business a month earlier, a clothing store and Town Cleaners.

The young couple took space in the � rst section of the new town’s City Cen-tre Mall and established a new hardware and gift business, City Centre Hard-ware. The business developed and pros-

pered and eventually in the mid-1980s moved from it’s crowded mall location to it’s larger current space between Cen-tury House and the old Kitimat Arena.

But for 58 years, City Centre Hard-ware, which is now Home Hardware, � ourished as a town business icon.

Jim Wakita established JW Con-struction which was incorporated as JHW Construction in 1975 and contrib-uted greatly to the early development of housing in Kitimat. Jim died in 1980 and the business is carried on by his sons, Brian, Rick and Allan.

Miyo Wakita, from a � shing family in Steveston, became known popularly in the community as “Mrs. Wakita,” worked tirelessly in her two proudest roles, as owner of her hardware business

and as mother to her seven children.Three in the same year, 1957, the

year the business was started: son Bri-an, 58 and twins Rick and Ron, 57.

Yet she was successfully able to juggle the two dif� cult roles of running a busy six days a week retail business and raising a large family, while in her spare time sewing extensively for Sears, which had a large retail presence in ear-ly Kitimat.

But now, Home Hardware, the for-mer City Centre Hardware, is closing its doors shortly, and that will leave a large hole in the Kitimat retail business com-munity.

The Wakita family raised sev-en children in Kitimat, all of whom branched out in different endeavours and some who moved to different loca-tions.

Allan is now in Campbell River, Lloyd in Vancouver, and Eileen is in Castlegar helping to spread some of the 17 Wakita grandchildren around the province.

The legacy of City Centre Hardware

UghWasn’t sure what other word to use to describe

the mess of Unifor 2301 not inviting the mayor and council to the otherwise public picnic the union hosts ever year on Labour Day.

So, ugh.Now to start off, there is the very important dis-

tinction that 2301 is not 2300.2300 is the union which was on strike this year

over their contract with the District of Kitimat.2301 represents employees at Rio Tinto Alcan.

Brothers and sisters under the Unifor banner, but separate entities.

So 2301, again, not the Local which went on strike this year, said in a letter that due to the strike — which wasn’t speci� cally theirs — they’ve de-cided to not allow mayor and council to attend the event.

To prove they’re serious, they said they were go-ing to alert the RCMP to their decision.

(The RCMP wouldn’t con� rm if they’ve re-ceived any notices or requests from the union. Even if they have, I’m not expecting armed of� cers at the picnic entrance or anything.)

Now, 2301 did get involved in some ways with the labour strike. Then-2301 President Rick Belmont wrote a letter to the editor to the Northern Sentinel during the time on the matter, and 2301 did offer up a bunch of support during the strike, which lasted over 100 days.

Understandable, they’re all Unifor and naturally would support each other.

Except 2301 has apparently gone rogue. While comment from 2300 is as silent as 2301 has been over the week, word on the street is that 2300 work-ers are silently shaking their heads and certainly muttering other things under their breath over the de-cision to outwardly ban the council. Begs the ques-tion who really pushed to formalize this exclusion, and why? Why couldn’t 2301 just pick up a phone and tell the mayor “hey, things are still a bit warm from the whole thing, would you mind encouraging the council not to come?”

In fact, outwardly inviting council to the event would have shown great character. My hunch is a council-rep would have showed up, made a few comments about solidarity, and quickly bolted. All would have been � ne and normal.

In the infamous Unifor letter, it reads that the picnic “[showcases] all of the bene� ts that organized Labour brings to our community and society in gen-eral.”

By kicking council to the curb (and bringing police in to the picture) the 2301 has shown they’re not looking to make any improvements to “society in general,” they’re holding on to grudges when every-one around them would rather move on.

This is peace-time, 2301. Lets not forget that.Cameron Orr

Continued from page 4Miyo Wakita retired over the past

two years and has now made the de-cision to close down the highly popu-lar business but earlier this spring she achieved a life-long ambition by taking a 15-day trip to Japan, cover-ing the country from tip to tip, Osaka to Owinawa. A highlight of the trip, accompanied by daughters Delphine and Eileen and her youngest grand-daughter, Zoey, was to her ancestral home in Wakayama, where she was able to meet with members of her dis-tant family, including a now 92-year-old cousin whom she met once before in Vancouver in Expo year, 1986.

“My husband Jim always prom-ised to take me but it never developed but I achieved that goal this year, and it was a wonderful trip,” she said.

Mrs. Wakita says she has always enjoyed her time in Kitimat and wishes to thank all of her customers and so many friends who helped sup-port and encourage her over the 58 years in business.

“It has been so enjoyable getting

to know so many people and so many new people over the years as the population changed.” Her own con-tribution to Kitimat as a supporter of local sports and recreation is also well known and she was honoured as “Business Woman of the Year,” in 1987.

Another honour, which went to her husband, has been on display for years in the store, an award from the Gibbs Fishing Lures company, for naming one of its most popular and famous lures of the years, the Kiti-mat lure, still a huge favourite among local and visiting fishermen on the Kitimat River.

I need to thank Mrs. Wakita per-sonally, as one of the first, if not the first sponsor the Kitimat Ice Demons Senior Men’s Hockey team, which she has supported annually since 2002. She rarely misses a Demons’ game and most of the fans know the row of seats she occupies, just above the home players bench.

She’ll still be around town and for that we will all be pleased.

Take me to your readersThe Kitimat Public Library hosted their summers end party for members of their summer reading club. These kids worked hard to read a number of books over the course of the program and were rewarded with a fun afternoon at the library August 19.

Double standards in leadershipDear Sir,

Recently in Que-bec the “Prime Minister in Waiting” [Mulcair] threw many below the belt punches at the Prime Minister and his economic record, repeating himself over and over again.

Yet what about Mul-cair’s dual citizenship?

It is worth to note that the PM-in-waiting has no federal record on his abil-ity how to govern. How-ever there are quite a few

samples from the party’s Provincial Premier’s that left deep scars of misman-aged economies and not very high moral grounds as he likes to talk about. Media is quiet about it.

For example: Alberta to date since last election lost some 26,000 jobs. Is this the PM’s doing?

Historically the BC NDP government’s had impotence to defend clear cuts, fiscal mismanage-ment of Prince Rupert

pulp mill that led to the closure of the mill, and total collapse of the forest industry.

Some 10,000 jobs were lost in the Pacific northwest.

One of the strongest provincial union’s was decimated.

Resignation of the cabinet minister for tak-ing the advantage of the client.

Resignation of the Premier.

Where was the news me-dia?

I almost forgot, they are obsessed with “The Senator” trial. They try to call it bribery. Correct me if I am wrong: There is no law against paying some-body’s bail, Visa card, car loan, or speeding ticket. Why would this be brib-ery?

Sincerely,Leon Dumstrey Soos

The summit of the Northwest B.C. Resource Benefits Al-liance concluded over the August 15 week-end, and re-affirmed their efforts to receive a fair share of an an-ticipated $35 billion generated within the Alliance’s geographic area.

That area incorpo-rates 21 communities within the Kitimat-Sti-kine Regional District, Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako, and Skeena-Queen Char-lotte Regional District.

The Alliance for-malized their goals through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding and es-tablished the group’s executive board.

Kitimat-Stikine regional district Chair Stacey Tyers is now also the Alliance’s Chair.

According to the Alliance through a me-dia release, the mem-bers who attended the summit were advised that the province “has the necessary financial resources to address the many community impacts of economic development.”

It goes on to say under a “moderate” economic scenario, Perrin, Thorau & As-sociates Ltd. has fore-cast 49 major projects in the area that would generate $35 billion over 25 years.

A three per-cent revenue share, the Al-liance says, would mean $1 billion for communities’ needs, such as infrastructure development.

Urban Systems reported that the Al-liance’s local govern-ments have imme-diate infrastructure needs of well over

$500 million.“The summit re-

sulted in the develop-ment of three priorities: addressing infrastruc-ture needs, mitigating

social impacts, and de-veloping a legacy fund so that we can look for-ward to a sustainable future,” said Tyers.

Revenue sharing

negotiations with the province are intended to address these priori-ties, leaving communi-ties better off through a legacy similar to the

Columbia Basin Trust. “It is important

not to confuse revenue sharing with planning grant programs such as Northwest Readiness

or other small scale programs such as the proposed rural divi-dend,” said Tyers. “We want to be at the table to negotiate our share.”

A copy of the RBA MOU is available on the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine website: www.rdks.bc.ca.

Hotel nearly checked-inThe Microtel by Wyndham in Kitimat is inching towards completion, with MasterBuilt Hotels saying they expect the facility to open very soon, either by end of this week or next. The hotel will feature 87-rooms, a fitness centre for guests and a meeting room.

IV pump donationsThe Kitimat General Hospital Foundation

continues to receive community support through a number of donations.

Recent large donations are going towards a goal of purchasing 10 IV transfusion pumps for the Kitimat General Hospital.

The Foundation received $5,000 from the Kitimat Gyro Club, which will be used directly to purchase an IV pump for the hospital’s emer-gency room.

The Foundation looked to raise $50,000 in total for the pumps, which will be used in emer-gency, home care and acute care.

The Foundation also received a $10,000 do-nation from LNG Canada, which put them over

their $50,000 goal for the year.“The funds received from LNG Canada was

a much needed addition to meet our goal to pur-chase 10 state-of-the-art IV Infusion pumps for Kitimat General Hospital in 2015. The support received from community organizations, busi-nesses, industry and private individuals, is very heartwarming and goes a long way to ensuring we have the best healthcare possible in the Kitimat region.”

The Kitimat General Hospital Foundation’s mandate is to raise funds to be used specifically in the Kitimat General Hospital and Health Centre, and all donations large or small will benefit every-one in the community.

Grants to charities

Liberal candidate

A program of En-vision Financial has handed away $357,500 to charities in B.C., including to some in Kitimat.

Envision Finan-cial’s Community En-dowment Fund will hand out 33 grants in total to organizations geared to delivering programs to vulnerable people, the company says in a media release.

“There are so

many worthy projects and organizations and I’ve seen firsthand the difference these grants can make,” said First West Foundation’s Ex-ecutive Director Seline Kutan. “Helping local charities deliver much-needed community programming is very rewarding.”

The company says $8,000 was given to the Kitimat Child De-velopment Centre As-

sociation for a financial literacy enhancement program.

As well, $1,700 went to MADD Cana-da for a school assem-bly program.

In addition, $10,000 was provided to the Crisis Interven-tion and Suicide Pre-vention Centre of BC for their YouthInBC.com crisis and out-reach website which serves all of B.C.

A Village of Telkwa council-lor has been chosen as the federal Liberal candidate for the Skeena – Bulkley Valley riding in the Oct. 19 federal election.

Brad Layton was named as his party’s candidate at a nominating meeting held in Smithers.

Layton, who works in the for-estry industry has also just started his second term as a Telkwa village councillor. He was the only candi-date to seek the Liberal nomination.

“I can see our quality of life – being the middle class – declining each year [and] I’m worried about my daughter’s future,” Layton said of his decision to run.

“[Liberal party leader] Mr. Trudeau has expressed a lot of views that I follow myself and beliefs that we can have both a strong environ-ment and economic development – we need this development in north-ern B.C.”

A long-time northwest resident and Liberal supporter, Layton came to the Bulkley Valley in 1987 and got involved in local and provincial poli-tics starting in the early 2000s.

He has worked for Pro-Tech Forest Resources as a forest techni-cian for 29 years and was first elect-ed to Telkwa village council in 2011.

Fixin’s for a causeA fundraising barbecue was held on August 18 at the Upper City Centre Mall, which sought to raise money for the Better at Home program, designed to provide services for people unable to easily get out of their homes. Over $1,000 was raised at the event which included local politicians, the RCMP, � re department and a number of other community members. Cameron Orr

LNG source of loud hornCameron Orr

Many people were left confused by a repeat-ed, loud horn sound going off last Thursday.

The horn began going off shortly after the noon hour and repeated for approximately 15 minutes.

The culprit? LNG Canada.Nothing was going wrong though. The com-

pany says the horn was nothing more than a � re drill taking place on their site.

Speci� cally the company says it was an emer-gency evacuation/muster drill. The company says they hold between four and eight such exercises a year which cover medical emergencies, security breaches, and other such scenarios.

The drills aren’t always ‘live’ but do include table-top exercises too.

No smoking, and mind your sign tooCameron Orr

Remember, you can’t smoke near doorways.

That’s a message the Kitimat Down-town Design Panel wants to get out, fol-lowing their August 6 meeting.

The minutes of their meeting show the group has moved a recommendation that the Director of Community Planning and Development write to businesses reminding them of the regulations of smoking near doorways.

Further they also want Mr. Mikes, Overwaitea, Shoppers Drug Mart and Home Hardware to be advised to keep their garbage areas maintained.

The minutes show panel mem-bers in particular noted the need for

Mr. Mikes to better maintain their refuse, given they’re along a pedestrian path be-tween Mountainview Square and City Centre.

The panel at the same meeting also heard from Jerry Minni, the owner of City Centre Mall and who is develop-ing the new hotel at the mall, under the subject of signage.

Minni told the panel that the proposed sign for the mall did not incorporate individual lettering, which is the guideline for downtown design.

Minni said it would be an “onerous venture” to follow the guide-lines in this case. It was also noted at the meeting the guidelines are only suggestions.

The panel still recommended to the community planner that she request the applicant to provide a sign that either meets guidelines or that provides a com-promise, such as the sign that Envision currently uses.

Kitimat Council will expect to receive a staff report regarding those rec-ommendations soon and will direct staff on how they want to proceed.

Mario Feldhoff said he looks forward to the discussion and to learn more about the costs and challenges of certain types of signs.

“I certainly don’t want to be discour-aging business but at the same time want to respect our downtown design panel recommendations,” he said.

Cameron OrrThe Northwest RC

Club is a reality.A club dedicated

to remote-controlled vehicles has taken off, on an effort largely based on the work of Kitimatian Jeremy Dewalt.

Dewalt earned Kitimat fame in Febru-ary this year when he recorded the effects of Kitimat’s huge snow-fall using his quadcop-ter.

(Which he notes he has recently sold to make way for a new model.)

What the club needs now though is public spaces.

Up to now they’ve been using a member’s backyard, but since it’s private property there are scheduling and li-ability challenges.

Dewalt said that will change soon though as the club will open up a public space at the Thornhill com-munity grounds soon.

They recently given permission to use some space there, where they will put up signs, posts, and of course a race track.

They are also pushing to get space in Kitimat too.

What Dewalt is looking to do is rede-

velop an RC track at the former BMX track behind KVI and near the golf club.

He said he’s not worried about getting support for the idea to use that site (he already has some), but just has to clear the hurdles re-lated to landownership: it’s currently shared by

the District of Kitimat and the school district, he says.

The club recent-ly began taking paid memberships as a way to kickstart their fi-nances, and Dewalt said there are already 20 paying members.

As well there are five people on the club

executive.By the long week-

end their Thornhill track should be ready to go.

He said up to three tracks could be built

once they figure out if they can work on the BMX track in Kitimat.

He describes the RC ‘lifestyle’ as very family oriented, and he gets his own kids

involved as often as he can.

“It’s all about the family,” he said.

That plays out in the statistics too. He said about half of the RC community is un-der 17-years-old.

He’s looking to grow the club to, for instance hosting intra-

club events with others in the province.

Dewalt says he has about 14 working ve-hicles in his fleet, with another dozen or so ‘projects’, or one-day to be working vehicles.

You can learn more about the club through social media at North West R/C Club.

Twenty-four la-dies played August 11 for Ladies Night golf.
