Mark McKee declared his intention to run for mayor of Revelstoke, seeking a second shot at the job he held from 2002–2008. “I’m one of these guys that can’t just sit on the sidelines. If I don’t like the way things are going, then I get involved,” said McKee in an interview last week. “That’s the way I’ve been doing everything my whole life. I’ve been watching and I decided that with the new people that are running it’s a good opportunity to bring some good positive change for the community.” McKee has 15 years of municipal political experience, having sat as councillor from 1990–1999 and mayor from 2002–2008. He didn’t run for re-election in 2008 and instead ran for the provincial legislature as the Liberal candidate for Columbia River-Revelstoke. He was defeated by NDP MLA Norm Macdonald in the 2009 election. In recent years McKee has been the chair of the Revelstoke Community Housing Society. He is also the de facto leader of the informal business group known as Focus Revelstoke. Rumours have been swirling all summer that McKee would be running for mayor, and he said many people have been encouraging him to do so. He said the fact some new faces were running for council factored into his decision. New candidates for council so far are Scott Duke, the manager of StokeFM; Trevor English, the manager of the Red Apple; Karen Powers, the owner of Conversation’s; and lawyer Connie Brothers. Mayor David Raven and councillors Gary Starling and Linda Nixon have indicated they will run again. “Every day, everybody’s asking me,” said McKee. “I had to sit down and go through the pros and cons and where I am in my life and if I wanted to commit. It’s a four year commitment now and it’s a hard one to overcome. It’s a long time.” McKee said Revelstoke needs a vision for the community, though he was vague when asked about his vision. “My vision is to be proactive, look at the issues and come up with solutions and get things done,” he said. He said the city’s declining population and high taxes were obstacles to economic prosperity. “I think there’s a problem with the tax base, with budgets,” he said. “I think there’s a problem with how we attract new people and businesses. I don’t think there’s an open friendly door for that. I think that’s got to change.” When it was pointed out the city is a finalist in the Small Business Roundtable’s Open For Business award, McKee said that was great, but that “we can do better.” He cited the need for affordable housing and the problems facing the Big Eddy Waterworks as issues that need to be addressed. “I look at where’s all the milestones?” he said. “I see signs painted on sidewalks telling you not to walk dogs and skateboards. I see a city hall renovation that was started and never budgeted properly. The courthouse roof. I just don’t think there’s a long-term plan and a long-term vision.” The municipal election is on Saturday, Nov. 15.

What's that knocking at your door? It's volunteers coming around for the fourth annual Emergency Services Fight Back Against Hunger Food Drive this Wednesday and Thursday evening, Sept. 17–18. "It's our biggest event of the year," said Patti Larson, the manager of the Community Connections Food Bank. The food drive has grown every year it's taken place, with more volunteers coming out each
time to help, and more food and other donations being collected. Last year, moret than 5.3 tons of food and thousands of dollars in donations were collected by about 200 volunteers. That helped fill the shelves at the food bank until the spring. Unfortunately though, the donations didn't last as long as previous years because of the increased number of people using the food bank. "Our numbers have increased and we're trying to provide more help to people," said Larson. "The need is still there. We haven't gone away, we're not going away.
We still have 140-150 adults and kids coming every week." The food drive is still being led by Revelstoke's emergency services personnel, but many other community groups take part. Unfortunately, the drive will be without its founder, RCMP Const. Gary McLaughlin, who started the initiative in 2011. He transferred to Lumby this summer and has already started up the same initiative there. "This is going to be an idea that's going to take off in more and more communities," said Larson.
RCMP investigating bike thefts Alex Cooper

Revelstoke RCMP are investigating a series of bike thefts that took place over the course of last Thursday/Friday night. The first theft that was reported was that of a highend mountain bike from Flowt Bikes early Friday. RCMP say they were notified of an alarm at the store at about 4 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 12. When they arrived at the store, they confirmed someone had broken into the building. The management of Flowt confirmed that a black Devinci Spartan, size medium, was stolen from the store. Around that same time, three mountain bikes were stolen from a locked garage and another was stolen from a backyard. All thefts happened in the downtown core area. Even though two of the thefts were the results of break-ins, Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky issued a reminder to people to make sure their bicycles were

Big Eddy group threatens separation over waterworks issue Alex Cooper
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
A group of Big Eddy residents is forming a committee in order to push the city to permit development in their neighbourhood while the city grapples with issues with the Big Eddy Waterworks. And they say they’re willing to advocate for separation if city hall doesn’t address their concerns. “The goal of the committee is to get the city to get moving and in the meantime, while they’re moving, is to let us build,” said George Buhler. “If they don’t want to do that, allow us to separate.” Buhler, along with Vince Sessa, the owner of the Big Eddy Market, and Chuck Ferguson, the owner of the Big Eddy Pub, attended a council meeting last Tueday, Sept. 9, where the waterworks was a topic of discussion. The state of the Big Eddy Waterworks has emerged arguably the biggest infrastructure issues facing the city after Interior Health raised concerns about the state of the independent water system last year. The concerns forced the Revel-
stoke School District to put plans on hold to sub-divide and sell off the old Big Eddy school site. It’s also caused delays to Sessa’s development plans for the Big Eddy Market. The developments were delayed because water flows aren’t strong enough for commercial fire protection, as mandated in city bylaws. Last week, a letter to the city from Interior Health was provided to local media. The letter by Rob Fleming, an environmental health officer with IH, was addressed to assistant city planner Chis Selvig. It is dated Dec. 20, 2013, and was discussed during the closed-door portion of council earlier this year on Feb. 25. The letter lays out the concerns with the long-term sustainability of the waterworks. “There is insufficient information on the current infrastructure assets and capacity in regards to peak daily demands and maximum production,” wrote Fleming. “The infrastructure is aging and the two production wells are over 33 years old with no long term plan for replacing vital infrastructure. In addition the BEW has conducted unapproved upgrades and repairs of the distribution system in
the past.” The letter also questions the waterworks’ financial stability, saying it is in a poor position to fund upgrades and emergency repairs. Rates are too low compared to similar-sized utilities and there is no fund in place to deal with long-term planning and to remain compliant with the Drinking Water Protection Act & Regulation. “Based on the above, I cannot support further development within the Big Eddy subdivision at this time,” concludes Fleming. “Additional information from Big Eddy Waterworks regarding the state and capacity of their infrastructure and finances is required to ensure the water system is equipped to provide clean, safe, reliable tap water over the long term.” The letter cause a brief furor at council last week when councillor Tony Scarcella pulled it out during the discussion and asked why council wasn’t informed about its existence. It turns out, council had been made aware of the letter in February at a meeting Scarcella attended. According to the minutes of that meeting, which were released to the media on Thursday, Mayor David
Raven raised the possibility of the city acquiring the Big Eddy Waterworks. Also on Thursday, a special council meeting was called for Tuesday, Sept. 16, where the waterworks was set to be on the agenda. A report by engineering director Mike Thomas laid out the recent events surrounding the waterworks and some of the history of the problem going back to April 2013 when Interior Health sent a referral letter regarding the school district’s subdivision application. The report says Thomas met with representatives from Interior Health and the BEW on Feb. 18 in order to discuss future options for the waterworks. It also says city interference with the BEW would have been inappropriate without a request from the board of the BEW. The city’s life was made easier late last month when a letter came from the waterworks asking to begin discussions on a takeover by the city. The waterworks is currently undertaking a $50,000 water quality study and will have to conduct another expensive infrastructure study next year. The two studies are eating away at most of the BEW’s budget.
City staff is currently looking at funding sources to study the waterworks in order to move forward. For the Big Eddy committee, they want to see development permits approved while the issues are being resolved. They are worried about the impact on property values. The current water flows are only affecting commercial development and not residential. Sessa said the city is holding up an expansion of the Big Eddy Market; the city says the fire protection issues need to be addresed. “We’re saying, until you get it sorted out, don’t disallow the Big Eddy from development,” said Buhler. “Otherwise, my property has no value.” Tim Palmer, the city’s chief administrative officer, called the developments regarding the waterworks a “good news” story because they will eliminate a lot of uncertainty in the Big Eddy. “It’s good news for the city for development. It’s good news for the Big Eddy residents and businesses,” he said. “It’s a bit regrettable it’s being tainted from other side of things, but it really is a very good story from everyone concerned.”
Open house to discuss logging roads’ futures
Girls rewarded after returning stolen money
Alex Cooper
Two young girls were rewarded by the RCMP after finding and returning $400 that was stolen from the Helios physiotherapy clinic sometime last weekend. Sani Hupinen and Karsyn Powell were playing outside on Sunday, Sept. 7, when they found a bunch of envelopes on the street near Powell's home at the top of the Douglas Street Hill. The picked up the envelopes and found a bunch of receipts from Helios. They also found an envelope with $400 cash in it. They immediately went to their parents and said they needed to return the money — the thought of keeping the money didn't cross their mind.

The future of several wellused logging roads will be the topic of an open house next week. Logging company Stella Jones and representatives from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, will be on hand to discuss the future of a number of key logging roads in the Revelstoke area at an open house at the community centre on Wednesday, Sept. 24, from 3–7 p.m. The roads affected access Mount McCrae, Arrowhead, Sproat Mountain, south Begbie Creek, upper Boulder Moun-
tain and parts of Frisby Ridge. The roads were all maintained by Stella Jones, but as they stop operations in those areas, they will be deactivating their roads. The biggest impacts will be the removal of a major culvert on the Mount McCrae road, and of two major culverts near the 36 kilometre mark of the Crawford road, which leads to Sproat and Arrowhead. Ladyman said the ministry has indicated it will take over maintenance of the McCrae road. Work on Boulder and Frisby will make the roads rougher, but access should still be possible for mountain bikers and snowmobilers, he said.

The RCMP was contacted and on Monday morning, the money and receipts were returned to Helios. Later that day, the RCMP presented the two girls with certificates of appreciation for "assisting the Revelstoke RCMP and being an outstanding citizen." RCMP Const. Kaid Shewchuk said the thieves apparently entered Helios through a back door, and smashed through a wall to gain access to the business. They made off with a stack of receipts and an unknown amount of cash.

Mayor David Raven expressed strong displeasure at the fact Revelstoke emergency services personnel were not notified of a derailment within city limits, and he said council will be taking up the issue with CP Rail officials. “Emergency services should have been made aware of it at the time or very soon thereafter,” he told the Times Review. “I anticipate that we’ll be expressing some very strong concerns to CP Rail and the regulatory agencies that the city was not notified in a timely manner.” The derailment took place just west of Highway 23 South as the train was heading west from Revelstoke at about 11:15 p.m on Wednesday, Sept. 10. Several train cars could be seen lying on the banks of the track as crews cleaned up the mess on Thursday morning. Salem Woodrow, a spokesperson for CP Rail, said in an e-mail that four cars derailed. "There were no injuries, no public safety issues and no environmental concerns," she wrote. The track re-opened Thursday
afternoon. The derailed cars were intermodal shipping containers. Woodrow said she did not know their contents but there were no hazardous materials in the cars and nothing was spilled. Chris Krepski, a spokesperson with the Transportation Safety Board, said it was the second through fifth car on the train that derailed. "The TSB didn't deploy an investigator to the site but we are following up with the company to gather some further information," he said. Rob Girard, Revelstoke's fire chief and emergency program coordinator, first learned of the derailment when he was contacted by the Times Review Thursday morning. He said CP Rail had not reported the incident to him, a fact that has him concerned. "We want to go out and look. We should know about it," he said. "That's pretty major in our community. We want to know, especially in light of what's been going on in terms of train derailments." Girard attended the scene and said five containers derailed and
that they were either empty or carrying hay. The discrepancy between Girard and CP Rail's numbers is because one car was carrying two containers. He prepared a report to council to let them know about the situation. The city also wasn't notified about a 2010 derailment near McDonald's and a 2011 derailment in Albert Canyon alongside the Illecillewaet River upstream of Revelstoke. "The city doesn't take this kind of stuff lightly," he said. Woodrow said the lack of notification was because there were no injuries, public safety issues, or environmental issues as a result of the derailment. "We have our own emergency protocols which were immediately enacted and all safety precautions and measures were taken as we responded to the situation," she said. Raven said that wasn’t the point. “The fact the cars were empty and it was a benign incident is not the point. It was an accident in the city limits. If it was any danger at all, there were delays that were avoidable.” The cause of the derailment is under investigation.

Indoor arena a “huge deal” for Selkirk Saddle Club Alex Cooper
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Selkirk Saddle Club celebrated the opening of it's new indoor riding arena under bright blue skies, t on Saturday. "It was a big project. It was four years in the making," said secretary Tanya Secord, who spearheaded the project for the club.. "It's a huge, huge deal for the club." The area took four years to build from conception to finish. The club raised $70,000 through fundraising, received another $43,000 in grants from the Tourism Infrastructure Fund and Columbia Basin Trust, and took out a $40,000 loan to get it built. The design was based on an arena in the Turtle Valley, near Chase, B.C., and the structure was engineered by Vanessa Mor-
row. It was built by Elevation Construction and Brackonstruction did the finishing. Other local businesses were also thanked for their help in the construction: Revelstoke Credit Union, K&W Trucking, H&J Ready Mix, Score Construction, Rona, Vic Van Isle, Kozek Saw Mill and Downie Timber. So, what does this new arena mean for the saddle club? "Continued year-round riding, programs for the kids, the therapy program, the horsemanship program," said Secord. "Kids that want to compete in jumping and rodeos — they can train all winter and be ready for competition in the spring because they're not behind." It also means club members have a safe space to keep their horses fit in the winter, and takes away the risk of walking their
horses on ice. "It gets us off of the ice so the horses don't fall," said Secord. "It gets us out of the snow. It just makes it safe." The arena will help the club expand its children's programs, and provides a year-round space for kids who want to enter into competitions – be it in jumping, rodeo, or dressage – a place to train in winter so they don't fall behind. Secord said a few youth have shown an interest in competition. "We'd like to see a Little Britches rodeo here," she said. "If we can do that, we can get into some dressage shows or some small jumping events for the kids." The Selkirk Saddle Club currently has 35 adult members and 45 youth; youth membership has seen a 10-fold increase in numbers this year, said Secord.

Macpherson logging would harm recreation rep
Re: Concerns raised over Mount Macpherson logging plans, Sept. 10, 2014. Editor, I am writing with the purpose of expressing concerns related to logging plans for the MacPherson trail network in Revelstoke. Writing from the perspective of a tourist, I have been coming to Revy to ride during summer vacation for the past four years. I typically spend between one week and 10 days in town. I ride the alpine epics, shuttle a little, and fill the rest of the time at Macpherson. I am also the past president of the Prince George Cycling Club and, through word of mouth, have led many others from our area to yours. The response is raving excitement about the Revy outdoor experience, the services and the people. I would guess that my trip alone causes me to spend between $1,000 to $1,500 each year staying with my trailer at the Lamplighter. This year, I spent closer to $2,500. Let's be honest and admit the plan for the currently proposed logging blocks is pretty much centrally located and affects some of the signature trails in the network. TNT for instance is one of the best descents in the province. I respect BCTS's statement about protecting the trails. However, this is not tantamount to preserving the experience or
the quality of the trails. Before logging this area, please consider this: 1. It does not take many years of 100 people like me visiting the area to make up for $320,000 of timber stumpage. I will simply ride somewhere else and sadly reminisce about when riding in Revy was awesome. 2. Solutions for planned working forest use are possible. Active outdoor recreation plans work if pursued with a shared vision of all stakeholders. We are now in reactive mode, which is never a good place to be. Please check out the role of the Prince George Cycling Club and the MOT in the Pidherney area of Prince George. We almost lost these 26 hectares to a similar process. Now there is a shared plan. 3. Trail quality depends upon the roots of large trees. Trails in cut blocks become dry, dusty, and sometimes dangerous. If there is any doubt about this, just take a midsummer ride through the existing Buff Enuff block. Trees hold soil together and keep water in the area. They also shade trails from sunlight and help secure against erosion. From the Nordic perspective, increased wind exposure and snow drift on the main knoll from reduced timber cover will potentially
increase the need for frequent rolling, packing and grooming of Nordic trails in that area. So to say the trail route and bed will be saved is not to say that the trail's quality, consistency, and sustainability will be respected or improved upon. 4. Revelstoke is a model outdoor recreation community in all areas. A completed project as proposed would be a tarnishing blemish on the reputation of the town and its people. Currently, Revelstoke is a beacon community for outdoor adventure shining as far as communities such as Prince George and drawing us in. We have great trails, riders, and people, but we are also envious of the raw potential you have. Please don't spoil this reputation. 5. If this does go ahead, please consider planning for the future in ways that support sustainable and shared use of land resources. Develop some understandings of each others' perspectives and proactively design areas that we can love to ride, run, hike, and ski for years to come, with confidence that all stakeholders support continued trail network improvement. Thanks for your time! Steve Wyer, Prince George, B.C.
Macpherson and Begbie should be made into protected area Editor, Times have changed in Revelstoke and this part of the Columbia Valley since the last land use plan was made over 10 years ago. Logging is no longer the main industry in this valley and particularly around Revelstoke. Tourism and recreation are at least as important an economic factor. Therefore, our land use plan, especially for in and around Revelstoke, should reflect these changes. Mountain biking, Nordic skiing, snowmo-
biling and hiking are extremely important to the local and visiting populations and to our economy. Revelstokians also don’t want to look out on shaved mountains such as Boulder Mountain. There used to be a practice of consulting with a community before its viewscape was logged, but this has also been scrapped along with agreements such as we had with the then Bell Pole about the Begbie Bench, now happily logged by Stella Jones. I suggest that Mount Begbie and Mount
Macpherson be made into a Park or Reserve which would preclude resource extraction in favour of the economic and social values of recreation, and tourism, not the least of which is the emotional health and well being of the people of Revelstoke. “Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, as vital to our lives as water and good bread” Edward Abbey Virginia Thompson Revelstoke

Revelstoke Poverty Reduction: Creating Shared Prosperity Access to resources Part 2 of a Series
Poverty in Revelstoke By Jill Zacharias
Whenever I talk to people who are new to our community, I am always happy to hear them exclaim that Revelstoke has so much to offer. It’s true! The Revelstoke Poverty Reduction Strategy lists more than 11 pages of local programs and free resources dedicated to assist people in need. And since we live in Canada, there are also government programs intended to give people a leg up. However, while programs, services and resources exist (yes, there are gaps), we found that access can be a challenge. So working together to improve access to existing resources is a high priority community goal. As Canadians, we have come to expect that higher levels of government take responsibility for assisting citizens who, for whatever reason, are in need. But since the late 1980’s this social safety net has been steadily eroded for a variety of reasons. And while
many programs are still in place, barriers to accessing government resources can be overwhelming. On Oct. 1, 2002, the provincial government closed the Ministry of Human Resources office in Revelstoke. Among many changes, this closure has had the biggest impact on access. Not only do Revelstoke residents now have a geographic disadvantage, all access is now via a telephone call centre or by computer. Applications for Income Assistance and other programs like EI must be completed online. But many low income residents cannot afford a telephone or computer and some have limitations that are barriers to navigating the system. Further, not only is it difficult to navigate the government website to find programs and subsidies (I tried it), but service providers report that even the telephone call centres can be challenging. It makes a difference if it is a service provider on the phone calling for a client but there are still wait times and difficulties. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of individuals being denied disability status and the time it takes to apply for disability has tripled. As well, government programs seem to be constantly changing. New programs parachute in while others are cut. Many employment support programs tend to be one-off programs dependent on funding. For some, simply the stress of
living in poverty can make it hard to function and make it to programs. On top of everything, one of the biggest barriers to accessing resources and programs is that people are very good at keeping their poverty hidden and believe it is shameful to ask for assistance. One woman told me, “Since becoming a single parent it’s been very hard emotionally. My greatest stress is not being able to provide for myself and my child and feeling inadequate. There is both my own and society’s notion of what I should be able to provide. I don’t fit the definition of someone who lives in poverty. I have no drug addictions or mental health issues or employment barriers.” For her, separating from her husband, leaving a good job elsewhere and moving back to Revelstoke to co-parent her children, was enough to place her in poverty. Many organizations – from churches to the school district, volunteer or otherwise – are making an incredible amount of extra effort to support residents with financial or other barriers. There is cross-referral where multiple organizations work together to help a client, child or family in need. Many service providers advocate for the benefit of clients to ensure access to government programs, including help filling out forms, time on the phone, and ensuring all the necessary paper-

kind, and the hippy Dude Love – and his willingness to put himself through incredible amounts of punishment such as being thrown off a 5-metre high steel cage. Through it all he became a three-time World Wrestling Entertainment champion and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He shocked everyone again by penning a memoir – that he wrote in longhand – that became a New York Times best seller. It was followed by three more autobiographies, four children’s books and two works of fiction. Recently, he’s developed a stage show that’s frequently referred to as a stand-up comedy show, but which Foley called a “wrestling-centric storytelling show with an emphasis on humour.” I reached Foley on the phone last week when he was at home in Long Island, NY, getting ready for his three-week tour of B.C. and Alberta, including a stop in Revelstoke on Wednesday, Sept. 17. The interview has been edited for length. RTR: Tell me a bit about your show. What’s it about? What’s it like? Mick Foley: “Nobody knows what to expect… I wouldn’t go this far from home to a town I’ve never heard of to do a bad job. I really take great pride in these shows. I treat them like matches. I try to make every one as good as they can be. “I’m probably going to do 200 shows a year. I wouldn’t be away from home that much unless I was having a great time and putting smiles on faces. Expect to have your limited expectations exceeded and to leave with a big smile on your face. “I don’t tell jokes. I want to make that clear. It’s a wrestling-centric storytelling show with an emphasis on humour, but that’s tough to fit on a marquee. “People think comedy show, they don’t know what to expect. They don’t want to see me in a bad bow tie telling one liners. I take people on a fun, auto-biographical journey through parts of my career and then work in contemporary issues from today’s wrestling scene.” What has the transition been like from wrestler in the ring to performer on stage? “It was a difficult transition five years ago, showing up in clubs doing unpaid, unbilled guest sets in front of small crowds. It’s fun now. I made all my big mistakes in front of those small crowds, not that I don’t make nightly mistakes and not that I don’t try things that don’t work on a nightly basis. “I love it. It makes me feel like I did in the ring. I get a lot of the same great feelings. I mention it’s an autobiographical journey. I love the idea of taking people on an emotional ride, which was what we tried to when we were in the ring.” Wrestlers spend lots of time on the road. Why did you want to get back on the road? “If you listen to any country songs or rock and roll songs, the road is very appealing. I enjoy being out there, although this is probably the last time I will do a tour of this length. It’s three weeks away from home and I’m going to try to balance out my dates and my home life a little bit better from this point on. “I don’t want to threaten the people of Revelstoke, but I probably won’t be back again. If they’re on the fence — just take a chance. People are thrilled when they leave my shows, they really are. “There’s a meet and greet after the show for no extra charge.” Can you talk about the stories that are part of your show? “I embarked on this new tour about three months ago and I had a bunch of ideas I brought on stage with me. You find out what works and what doesn’t. On this tour, I’m enjoying telling a lot of the lesser known stories and working them into things people are more familiar with. It’s a nice blend. I guess it’s like being on the road as a musician. You essentially don’t want to be Mick Jagger on a solo tour refusing to play Stones tunes. I work in lesser known stories with the greatest hits.” Can you share one? “I’m not going to tell you the story. I will not shy away form the infamous cell story and I found a way as of late, especially with it being on the WWE network, to make it feel brand new again. I don’t feel like I’m Rocky Balboa at his restaurant telling sto-

Hardcore wrestling legend Mick Foley is bringing his wrestling-centric comedy show to Revelstoke. Mick Foley photo
ries about his battles with Creed. They feel new each night when I tell them. As a wrestler, how important was it to have a sense of humour? “If you didn’t have a sense of humour about yourself, you were in big trouble. As you got older as a performer, if you were not able to incorporate some humour into your character, you would struggle. Everyone gets to the point where they are no longer as effective physically as they once were and they need to find a way to connect to an audience. The guys that have been around a long time find a way to make them laugh, as well as making them wince.” At your peak, you engaged in some pretty extreme stunts. What do you think of the state of wrestling these days now that it’s been toned down? “I still enjoy it. You say they’ve toned some of the more extreme things. It puts pressure on guys to work in a tough physical manner. Especially in high definition, there’s very little left to the imagination. I would say today’s product is just as hard hitting, it’s just done without the use of chairs and garbage cans and thumb tacks and barb wire.” Could you succeed today? “That’s a huge question mark. I should have not been able to succeed in my era. I had everything working against me and somehow found a way to make it work. That was as much a product of some lucky breaks as it was hard work and dedication. No matter how hard I worked and how dedicated I might be, it was always a roll of the dice.” What’s it like going back on the road, doing these small shows? How does it compare to performing in arenas as a wrestler? “There’s a great quote I heard from Hacksaw Jim Duggan when he returned from the ring at Wrestlemania 3 in front of 93,000 people. The
guys in the back asked what it was like to be out there in front of that huge crowd. He said, ‘Brother, I didn’t have my glasses on but those first three rows looked good.’ “Essentially when you’re out there, you end up playing to the people you can see. I’ll be honest, I think it was Revelstoke in particular that struck me as a really small advance audience. As long as we hit double-digits, we’re going to have fun. Once the initial roar of the thousands weens away, then it’s basically creating the best match you can or performance you can in front of whatever number decide to show up on any given night. “While I was preparing to wrestle in front of 64,000 people at the Tokyo Dome in 1995, I couldn’t stop thinking about my return match in Philadelphia in a Bingo hall in front of 800 people. You never let the size of a venue or crowd define the importance of the event. If there’s a hundred people, I’ll give them the best show I possibly can.” Quite a few wrestlers have struggled after wrestling. How do you feel about where you are? “I just had back surgery. I might not be moving cat-like on the stage but I have fun every night. I think some of the problems wrestlers have in a postwrestling life is trying to find something that makes them feel like they did when they were in the ring. In my case, I’ve done that. When I get out there on stage people will see in about 10 minutes I’m having fun and still making people smile, laugh, and still getting the reactions that drove me when I was kid dreaming of being a wrestler.” Hardcore Legend: An Evening With Mick Foley, takes place at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $35.

The Boom Booms bring their brand of indie soul to the Fall Music Festival at RMResort this Saturday.
“The first album was a solo album [Butterfly Man, 2008], not because I was trying to get into music but because I was writing a bunch of songs,” said Ross, who was recording the music mainly for friends. “I got an email while I was travelling in Asia asking if I wanted to make a record. The band grew out of that.” Described as a “Canadian indie-soul band”, the group consists of childhood friends Aaron Ross (lead vocals), Sean Ross (keys, vocals), Tom Van Deursen (guitar), Geordie Hart (bass), Richard Brinkman (drums), and Theo Vincent (percussion, drums). The Boom Booms newest album, Love is Overdue, which
MELISSA JAMESON
Special to the Times Review
The Boom Boom's lead singer Aaron Ross chuckles when I ask him about the band's biography stating they are “self-governed”. “I think Sean [Ross] wrote that,” he said. “We do other gigs ... we remain independent ... rather than everything being spearheaded by just one guy we just vote on things ...” It makes sense, given the transition from Aaron Ross, to Aaron Ross and the Boom Booms, to the Boom Booms. Ross says the change from Aaron Ross to the Boom Booms sort of happened naturally.

It's been a great experience to work with him, he really pushed us to the next level. But besides that he's a wealth of knowledge,” said Ross. Now that the album is finished, The Boom Booms have started to tour. I asked Ross to speak to the difference between studio recording and playing in a live setting. “It's totally different,” he

IllecIllewaet and BIg eddy dykes two-day traIl closure BC Hydro would like to notify Illecillewaet Dyke and Big Eddy Dyke trail users of an upcoming two-day closure for noxious weed control during a suitable period of dry weather, starting as early as September 15, 2014. The weed control work is planned along the Illecillewaet River Dyke from the Fourth Street Bridge downstream to the BC Hydro Illecillewaet Substation, and along the Big Eddy Dyke from Highway 23 South, around the walkway to Big Eddy Road. Both dykes are heavily infested with invasive weed species including Blueweed, Spotted Knapweed, Oxeye Daisy and Orange Hawkweed. Weed control is required to limit the spread of the weeds to other areas by trail users, bicycles, dogs, and other animals. The weed control work involves the selective application of a weed control herbicide to problem areas. Within 24 hours of application the herbicide will be fully absorbed by the vegetation and pose no risk to humans or animals. Signs and/or barriers will be placed at access points to notify users of the trail closure. For more information please contact Jen Walker-Larsen at 250 814 6645 or email to jennifer.walker-larsen@bchydro.com.

Trio of local rookies crack Grizzlies lineup Grizz win
From left: Louie Federico, Nii Noi Tetteh and Josh Pilon are all looking to make their mark with the Revelstoke Grizzlies this season. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review ALEX COOPER
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
For a young, aspiring hockey player in Revelstoke, the Grizzlies are looked up to — the closest thing to hockey stars we have here. For a trio of local youth, they will realize a dream by suiting up for the team this year. “I think it will be fun,” said Nii Noi
Tetteh. “When I was younger, I remember looking up to all the older guys and wanting to be a Grizzly. Now that you’re of age, it’s cool to be with the team.” Tetteh, 16, Josh Pilon, 16, and Louie Federico, 17, all cracked the Grizzlies lineup, the first time they will be suiting up as regulars for the Junior B team. “I’m excited to play in front of my home town,” said Federico.
All three players grew up playing minor hockey in Revelstoke — Federico one year ahead of his two teammates. The three would play together every second year. Pilon and Tetteh were key members of the Revelstoke Bantam Grizzlies team that went to the provincial championships two years ago. As part of a small group of players, they formed bonds and close friendships. The small size of their group gave them lots of room to get better as players, even if there wasn’t the same level of local competition as in bigger centres. “I know I always got a lot of one-on-one with the coaches and a lot of ice time,” said Tetteh. “It helped us get better every day. I feel like playing in a bigger city makes it harder because there’s so many more kids.” When it came time for midget hockey, all three had to go abroad. Federico played for Sicamous team and Tetteh and Pilon both played Major Midget with the Thompson Blazers. Pilon said there was some thought of going back to Major Midget, but that ended when they came to Grizzlies camp. “We thought about it but in the long run and practicing with this group of guys, we thought it would be in our best interest to stay in our hometown and play for another year,” he said. For Tetteh and Pilon, this was their first chance at joining the lineup. Federico, however, tried out last year but didn’t make the team.

opener 4-3 ALEX COOPER
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke Grizzlies came from behind to defeat the Sicamous Eagles 4-3 in their seasonopener on Saturday. The Grizzlies were on the road to take on their Eagle Pass rivals to start the season. With an almost completely new lineup – only two players from last year's team dressed for the game – it was a chance to see how this team is looking. "I thought we competed hard for a good portion of that game," said coach Ryan Parent. "You have to give our guys credit for not panicking and hanging in there. The first few minutes of the game were a little edgy, but I think we battled pretty hard to get a good result in the end." Revelstoke fell behind early on when Eric Austin scored for the Eagles 94 seconds into the first period. The deficit was erased 10 minutes later when Zach Paxman scored his first goal as a Grizzly. Vernon-native Jeff Bochon scored almost four minutes later to give Revelstoke the lead heading into the second. The Eagles came out strong in the middle period, tying the game less than three minutes in. Austin, a Revelstoke native, scored his second of the game with just under five minutes left in the frame to put Sicamous up 3-2. Down by one, Revelstoke stepped it up in the third, throwing 12 shots at the Sicamous net. However, it took almost 16 minutes for them to score, when Steven Fiust scored on the power play to tie the game. Carter Huber put Revelstoke up 4-3 53 seconds later and goalie Michael Lenko shut the door the rest of the game to let Revelstoke leave Sicamous with the win. "It wasn't a clean crisp game structurally for us, but for a young group to battle hard and come out with a W in the third after being down shows you got character," said Parent. He said he was happy with the effort from every line and with the way the team moved the puck through the neutral zone. He said this week they'll be working on structure and making sure they compete for a full 60 minutes. It's a busy weekend for the Grizzlies as they play three games at home. On Friday, the Eagles come to town for the Grizzlies home opener. On Friday, the Chase Heat come to the Forum and on Sunday, Revelstoke takes on the Grand Forks Border Bruins in a 4 p.m. matinee.

Revelstoke Minor Hockey looks to be more fun and more affordable Alex Cooper
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
It’s an issue across Canada — declining enrolment in our country’s national pastime and most popular sport. It’s a matter being debated at the highest levels of Hockey Canada — how to stem the tide and get more kids into minor hockey. In Revelstoke, it’s no different, and the local association is working hard to get more kids into the sport by reducing costs and making it more fun and less demanding for families to be involved. “We want to introduce kids to the sport and families to the sport and this way it won’t take up as much of their money they spend on recreation. It also won’t take up as much of their time,” said Kevin Grimm, the president of Revelstoke Minor Hockey (RMH). To start, RMH has reduced the league fees for new players at the pre-novice and novice levels. It’s now only $100 to get your kid started — down from $500. They also removed one practice time and some fundraising requirements to reduce the time commitment for parents. Lastly, they’re trying to make the sport more fun for the players so they want to stay involved. “One of the big things is kids are just not having fun in the sport. Teams are becoming too competitive,” said Grimm. “We’re really looking at that. I stress that with all the coaches to make practices as much fun as possible. Definitely emphasize winning and work ethic and enthusiasm, but have fun at the same time. That’s the message from Hockey Canada down — hockey has to be fun.” Wally Veninsky is about to enter his fourth year as a hockey dad. He didn’t play the sport growing up, but his son Zach wanted to play after learning how to skate, so he started at the pre-novice level when he was five. “It’s a great experience for Zach,” said Veninsky. “I think every kid would benefit from joining an organized team sport like hockey. He’s learned to be a team player and that it’s not always about him, and that’s been a good experience.” He said the financial cost hasn’t been unreasonable and the time demands at the novice level is manageable; the parents get to choose how many tournaments the team enters over the season, so they get a say as to their level of com-

While RMH had 25 peewee players last year, there were only eight atom players, forcing some to play a level down to make it work. The peewee team was a bright spot, finishing third at the provincial championships. There hasn’t been a midget team in the past three years, forcing players of that age to play for out of town teams. Two local youth – Ullar Wiatzka and Keyon Bittner – are playing Major Midget in Kamloops, while Grimm’s son Peter is playing for a team in Salmon Arm. “We’re driving three hours for a one hour practice in winter time,” said Kevin. “We’re dedicated so that’s what we do. My son is so competitive and loves the sport so much.” Despite the struggles, Revelstoke Minor Hockey has produced some talented players in recent years.

Royal Royal Canadian Canadian Legion Legion Branch Branch #46 #46 Revelstoke Revelstoke
THANK YOU
Family, friends, and other Legion members and patrons attended the first Branch 46 Legion Jack Byers Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday September 6, 2014. After a great day of golf and camraderie, players and non-players attended the Legion meat draw and then feasted on a barbeque dinner hosted by the Legion LA. Winner of the Jack Byers Memorial Trophy was Judy Sens, Jack's sister.
Revelstoke’s Stu Dickson won his home stop of the BC Enduro series this weekend, winning four of nine stages to finish almost a minute ahead of runner-up William Cadham. The win vaulted Dickson into the second overall spot for the entire series, just behind Dave Harder. More than 100 people took part in the race, which featured two days of racing on the Mount Macpherson and Boulder Mountain trail networks. For full results, visit the BC Enduro website.
The Legion would like to thank the following sponsors which donated great prizes to the golfers:

Poverty, from page 7 Bank or in schools. Many programs are offered at no or low cost to ensure universal accessibility. Some organizations have implemented their own transportation to ensure clients can access programs. With Community Connections as the host agency, the Early Childhood Development Com-
mittee initiated an access program to help the most vulnerable families get children to programs. The Youth Advisory Committee is in the initial stages of developing a Youth Access Program to ensure youth with financial barriers can access sports, recreation and cultural activities. We are looking at ways to deepen this commitment, working together with others to

improve access to resources for Revelstoke citizens in need. And everyone can do their part. If you are involved in a club or sport, find out if there are subsidies for participants and how to access them. Offer a free spot. If transportation is an issue, explore ways to make sure everyone can come. Above all, if you are going through a hard time and need help, don’t be afraid to ask.
Rookies, from page 14 “I felt like last year, it just wasn’t the right fit for me,” he said. “I just came back harder, worked all summer and tried to crack the team.” All three have simple goals this season — work hard, crack the lineup every game, get better and move up to the next level of hockey, whether that be Junior A or the Western Hockey League.

“My goal is to make it to the next level and then keep going as far as I can and until I can’t go any further,” said Tetteh. “I want to play pro one day. That’s not always possible, but if I can I definitely will.” They were all positive about this year’s team. “I feel like it’s a better atmosphere and culture,” said Federico, who practiced with last year’s team. “Last year was not the same level of intensity.” I asked them to compare their playing styles to that of NHLers. Pilon said Tetteh reminded him of Claude Giroux, Federico compared Pilon to Jamie Benn, while Tetteh compared Federico to Pavel Datsyuk. Grizzlies coach Ryan Parent praised Tetteh’s work ethic and intelligence. “If he continues to work the way he is he’ll have a bright future in hockey,” said Parent. He noted Pilon’s size, and said once he figures out how to use it better, “he’s going to be a really effective player.” As for Federico, he called him a big surprise and said he was a very skilled player. “What I liked about the last game is he’s playing a real team game,” said Parent. “He’s not afraid to move the puck to get it back. He’s really sharing the puck and being a good contributing forward that way.” Parent said all three fall in the middle of the team’s depth chart right now. “Being as young as they all are, I think they’ll continue to climb up the ranks and move into positions where we can utilize them more specifically.”
