Family of Sask. man killed by impaired driver hosts memorial golf tournament
A year after Austin 'Auzi' Walker was killed by an impaired driver, his loved ones gathered to play a round of golf for their friend on Saturday. 'It's been phenomenal. It's a day to remember him. It's not a sad day. It's...a great way to honor him while his friends and family could come and just spend a day,' Chet Walker, Austin's father said. The Austin 'Auzi' Walker 2025 Memorial Golf Tournament brought together over 100 golfers at The Legends Golf Club in Warman, Sask. 'As a family, we decided we wanted to do something special for his name,' Chet said. 'We have 144 golfers today, which is capacity and [an] additional 50 some people coming to that barbecue.' Chet shared that golfing was a family activity and a hobby his 25-year-old son particularly enjoyed. Chet added that he hopes those in attendance take positive memories from the day. 'Be happy,' he said. 'Take one day at a time. Enjoy the day.' Austin's loved ones hope to continue keeping his memory alive, and this tournament is the first step towards that goal. 'We really want to keep his name out there. Another thing why we're doing this is, raise a little money to give back in his name for different charities,' Chet said.

Man charged with second-degree murder after 'highly visible and tragic event': RCMP
Police in Kelowna, B.C., say a man arrested after a "highly visible and tragic event" in the city Friday has now been charged with second-degree murder. Kelowna RCMP say James Edward Plover has been in custody since he was arrested after a brief pursuit by officers who responded to reports of a "motor vehicle incident" and an alleged assault with a weapon involving two female victims. Mounties say one of the victims succumbed to her injuries and the second victim is still in hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The suspect was known to the deceased victim, according to police. Kelowna RCMP say the murder charge was approved by the BC Prosecution Service today and Plover is due in court on July 10. Insp. Chris Goebel with Kelowna RCMP says the assault has had a "profound impact" on many people in the community, and first responders acted swiftly and professionally during the high-risk situation. Online court records show Plover was charged with uttering threats and assault by choking last year, but the charges were stayed, and he and the victim are involved in active family law litigation and also face foreclosure proceedings launched by two separate banks.
