An alleged gangster who admitted last year to his role in a 2011 broad-daylight slaying in a downtown Kamloops schoolyard has been granted his wish to be separated in jail from members of a rival gang. Travis Johnny did not appear in court in Kamloops Tuesday as his lawyer made an application to alter a no-contact condition. During a hearing in B.C. Supreme Court in November, Johnny and Anthony Scotchman entered surprise guilty pleas relating to the March 2011 murder of Archie LePretre, TRAVIS JOHNNY who was beaten to death on a basketball court outside Stuart Wood elementary. Since entering his guilty plea, Johnny, 26, has been barred from having any contact with members of Redd Alert, a First Nations street gang with which he and Scotchman, 28, are alleged to be associated.

Nearly $14,000 in donations wasn’t enough to secure a victory for supporters of Kamloops’ performing-arts centre in November’s referendum. Pro-arts centre groups outspent the opposing side by about $4,000 in the runup to the vote, which saw the city’s plans to build a $91-million parkade and arts centre voted down by 54 per cent of residents. According to documents filed with Elections BC, the Yes Committee attracted $13,896 in donations, mainly from the same community and arts organizations that were the group’s public face. Tourism Kamloops made the singlelargest donation at $5,000, with the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s contribution of $2,500 coming second. The Kamloops Symphony Society
and Kamloops Art Gallery also gave $1,000 each, as did KPMG, Frances Nixon and TMT Management Ltd. — owned by Ron and Rae Fawcett, who had pledged another $5 million for the centre’s construction if the referendum was approved. The downtown BIA also filed its own contributions form with Elections BC, though it reported it spent less than $500 on promotion, so a breakdown of its expenses and donations is not legally required. The same was true for Friends of the Performing Arts Centre, a citizens’ group run by Ruth Fane. Performing Arts Centre Not Yet, a group created by former city councillor Nelly Dever, picked up about $10,000 in contributions, which was mainly spent on printed mailouts, according to its elections filings. The group mailed a brochure to most households in Kamloops, arguing the city should come up with a cheaper design
for the centre and look at other funding options. Despite the support of the KCBIA for the arts-centre plan, the PAC Not Yet group’s two top donors both have business interests downtown. Red Apple Holding Inc., a property-management company based on Lansdowne Street, donated $2,500, while the Mary MacGregor Law Corp. on Victoria Street gave the second-largest donation, at $1,500. Neither business immediately returned a request for comment from KTW. Other Not Yet supporters included Gjemes Management Inc. ($1,148.64), Canadian Tire owner Jack Jusola ($1,000), Lynda Johnston ($1,500) and Domtar ($500). The donation amounts don’t include money spent by the City of Kamloops on the referendum, which had a total budget of $160,000, about $35,000 of which was initially budgeted for advertising.
