A new book has been revealed by the Vernon and District Family History Society that sheds light on a dark chapter in Vernon, B.C.\’s history. During World War I, an internment camp was set up in the area to detain those with connections to enemy countries. Over a thousand people were interned and the camp held a jail, mental asylum and a house for transients. The book features stories of the internees, pictures from all over the world of the camp, and details about other work camps in the area. It will be available for purchase and copies will be given to museums and schools across the North Okanagan. This book is an important part of history and will help to educate younger generations.

she\’s a beautiful dog and I\’m very proud of her.\”
Last spring, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary\’s therapy dog, Stella, was invited into a St. John\’s courtroom. The black and white Portuguese water dog sat at the feet of the complainant in a sexual assault case, providing comfort while the judge read his verdict. Despite this success, requests for the RNC\’s trained police support dog between the end of July 2022 and mid-January 2023 were rejected or sent a generic emailed response. Internal emails and documents obtained by CBC News show that dozens of community outreach or victim services requests were denied over that six-month period. However, three public relations photo-ops were approved at the request of RNC leadership. Questions were raised about where the dog was and what was happening with the program. Stella was trained by a retired RNC staff sergeant, and along with her handler, Const. Krista Fagan, went just about everywhere in the community to prepare her for work. However, years later, that work has been curtailed, with Stella and her handler only being assigned to stay at RNC headquarters and other detachments and conduct visits for employee wellness. Requests from Eastern Health to attend a suicide awareness picnic and from Choices for Youth, social workers, and other local groups were denied. Despite this, Stella and her handler were asked to do a photo shoot with the Newfoundland Herald and attend Tim Horton\’s Smile Cookie Day and do a photo op for the Growlers sports organization. A private donor funded the police dog program, and the donor doesn\’t want any of the money back.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, while addressing a federal cabinet meeting in Islamabad on Wednesday, said that austerity measures are the government\’s top priority.
The cabinet was discussing important matters ahead of the staff-level agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expected to be signed before next week.

He also said that running a coalition government was \”no easy task\” but highlighted that the PDM government was working together as a united front to \”bring the country back on track\”.
\”Instead of looking back,\” he said, \”we must renew our resolve to mover forward today\”.
Simultaneously, the prime minister expressed hope that the IMF programme will resume soon.

Pakistan and Russia would review progress of the interim Afghan government in fulfilling the commitments made with the international community for forming an inclusive government, and to denying terrorist outfits a space to operate from its soil, official sources said on Sunday.
The sources, familiar with the development, said that Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto, who is currently undertaking his maiden visit to Moscow, would meet his Russian counterpart, Sargey Lavrov in Moscow on Monday (today) and one of the major issues that would top the agenda would be Afghanistan.
Bilawal’s first visit to Moscow as the foreign minister comes at a time when Pakistan is concerned over the Afghan Taliban’s failure in controlling the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and its affiliates which have stepped up attacks in the country.
Russia too is worried over the growing footprint of Daesh terrorist group, which poses a threat to Moscow. Russia is also worried over the Afghan Taliban’s recent moves, such as banning female education and resorting to other measures that have raised the spectre of return of hard line Taliban rule of the late 1990s.
Ahead of the Bilawal-Lavrov meeting, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a tweet that the two top diplomats would discuss the fight against terrorism and a number of regional topics, including the state of affairs in Afghanistan, Syria and Ukraine.
