KLW 124 — Castanet, CFJC hop in with KLW; Fisher, Pincott of Team Brown interviewed Kamloops Last Week

Kristen Holliday of Castanet Kamloops and James Peters of CFJC pop in to discuss Kamloops news [at the 26:13 mark] in Episode 124 of Kamloops Last Week.
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.
