Photograph of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Hallman. Its a long and lonely winter for them, the only two permanent residents of Kildala Beach B.C., but they wouldn't exchange their position with anyone. Wilbur was Kitimats second reeve. In Kemano, their house, incidentlly was built by the company just before Hallman's took over the job in 1965. He had been in personal work at Kemano for four years prior to that and he was one of the early arrivals in Kitimat in the early 1950s. Their home was a short walk from the wharf and was along a nearby greenhouse and power plant constitute. The greenhouse and the power plant are important to the Hallmans because it generates the power which lights their home, keeps their furnace running, their food frozen, and their interest in gardening. When the Kildala Beach job became vacant, the Hallmans decided this was what they wanted. The Alcan authorities required considerable convincing that the Hallmans really would be content in the isolation or could adapt to it. They knew the Hallmans were from Saskatchewan farm to BC, that they had settled in oliver, and founded their own weekly newspaper there. They also knew that Wilbur had been an editor to the Ingot in Kitimat. In 1961, there was a move to Kemano, and Wilbur pushed for the job.
