  • KLW 126 — Build Kamloops episode
    2024/02/08

    Kamloops city councillors Mike O'Reilly and Katie Neustaeter are on the Build Kamloops program select committee, which has identified five facilities to explore building as part of the program — the Kamloops Centre for the Arts, an aquatics centre, a multi-sheet ice complex, an indoor soccer dome and a curling facility.

    They hop in with KLW [at 15:59] to talk cost, community appetite for spending, potential referendum, locations and Kamloops Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson's comments relating to the program made last week on KLW, among other topics.

    A seniors centre or community space would be built in conjunction with one of the above facilities, according to https://letstalk.kamloops.ca/buildkamloops.

    We're also joined on the show by Calgary Flames' rookie sensation Connor Zary and American Hockey League points leader Logan Stankoven in the Tattle of Hastings [42:56].

    We barely sneak past border guards in our weekly sponsorship improv [11:39] session, with the help of Gord's Appliance and Mattress Centre, Volkswagen of Kamloops and McDonald's. We thank the Kamloops Blazers for their support.

    2024/01/26

    Kamloops Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson joins Kamloops Last Week for an unscheduled visit, Zooming in from Mexico [at the 47:15 mark] to address concerns about his whereabouts, most notably from Kamloops city coun. Stephen Karpuk.

    Hamer-Jackson also denies a report that notes he said these words to City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin: “I’ll bury you.”

    KLW 125 includes a visit [27:55] from Dan Ondang and Andrew Robertson of Chimera Theatre, two of the driving forces behind William Shakespeare Mystery Box, the play that will open on Feb. 1 at the Pavilion Theatre.

  • Connor Zary of Calgary Flames talks rookie season, McDavid, Canucks, Blazers, Sopotyk
    2024/01/19

    Connor Zary has become a rookie sensation with the Calgary Flames.

    The 22-year-old forward played for the Kamloops Blazers in the WHL from 2017 to 2021 before the Flames nabbed him 24th overall in Round 1 of the 2020 NHL Draft.

    Zary hopped on a Zoom call with Marty Hastings of Kamloops Last Week on Friday, Jan. 19, the day after his third-period goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs was disallowed and the day before his Flames played host to Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers.

    Topics include his rookie season in the NHL, McDavid, Kyrell Sopotyk, the Vancouver Canucks, the Flames’ recent dads’ trip and his time with the Blazers.

    We’re also joined [at 47:27] by Samantha Fisher and Erin Pincott of Team Brown, which will compete for the provincial women’s curling championship next week on Vancouver Island.

    Co-host Chris Foulds takes issue [12:10] with a notice of motion from Kamloops city coun. Nancy Bepple, saying her request for the mayor to pen a letter to Ottawa on behalf of council about the Israel-Gaza conflict is “cherry picking.”

    Topics in our Last Week Media Clique segment with Peters and Holliday include B.C. United’s pledge to ban cellphones in classrooms, Bepple’s motion, coun. Katie Neustaeter’s request for residents to write provincial politicians about the drug ban law that was upended by the B.C. Supreme Court, the city hiring a FireSmart co-ordinator and Black Press entering creditor protection.

    Holliday asks [44:13] Foulds about rumblings: What’s the latest on the effort to start a newspaper in Kamloops?

    Also discussed on today’s show: benevolent viewer Chris Koehn donates $100 to the KLW 600 Subscriber Party Fund, the honeymoon phase of relationships, the Buffalo Bills winning the Super Bowl and Swervin’ Mervyn Fernandez of the B.C. Lions.

  • TRU WolfPack men's volleyball team remembers McInnis, offers updates on Waterhouse, Brinnen
    2024/01/09

    A motor-vehicle accident on Nov. 29 in Kamloops took the life of TRU WolfPack men’s volleyball player Owyn McInnis of Guelph, Ontario.

    McInnis was killed and two of his teammates — Riley Brinnen and Owen Waterhouse, both from Kelowna — suffered life-altering injuries in the accident that took place on McGill Road at University Drive, near the university campus.

    They were stopped at a red light in a Volkswagen Jetta when an out-of-control pickup truck hit several trees along McGill Road before crashing into the Jetta.

    Brinnen incurred a serious spinal injury and Waterhouse suffered severe brain trauma.

    WolfPack men’s volleyball head coach Pat Hennelly and three of his players — Rylan Ibbetson and Mason Sodaro of Kelowna, along with Dylan VanSpankeren of Calgary — spoke to Kamloops Last Week on Monday, Jan. 8, before practising at the Tournament Capital Centre.
