The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that has apparently captured the attention of the national news media and social media outlets has finally arrived in Revelstoke. As many readers know, The Current has posted an ice bucket video on its front page. Meanwhile, Cathy Cameron-Suchy has posted a local ice-bucket video on her Facebook page and now young former resident Erica Willey underwent her own trial by water after being challenged to do it while she was visiting her grandmother, Brigitte Ortwein, in Arrow Heights:
Oh, the anticipation! Erica Willey practically quivers as recites the ritual incantation of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, naming the person who challenged her — friend Nichole Mclaren on Slave Lake — and the friends she wanted to challenge — buddies Alexis Milley, Chris Biener and Conner MacMillan — as she waits for her uncle, Robert Hoffmeister (back left) and mom Rita Stacey’s friend Gavin Leonard to pour a cooler fully of freezing water and ice cubes over her head. How did Erica bear up? Got to the next pictures to see… David F.
