To round out her activities, Kay owned and operated an upscale
clothing consignment shop for several years. In 1999, Kay moved
to Calgary to begin a new chapter in her life and to be closer
to her family.
All of her life Kay provided guidance and support for all of
her Friends, associates and family members and she always did
this in a warm and gracious manner.

BUTTEDAHL,
Doctor
Paz
Dr. Paz BUTTEDAHL, 65, passed away peacefully on October 8, 2007.
She is predeceased by her loving husband of 25 years, Doctor Knute
BUTTEDAHL.
She is survived by her husband, John K.
PARK, daughter
Maria Beck
BUTTEDAHL (Bob
BECK), son John
BUTTEDAHL (Lisa
FERRARI),
brother Valerio
GOYCOOLEA
(Rebecca
PALMA,) and sisters Sofia
GOYCOOLEA (Richard E.
LANE) and Loreto
GOYCOOLEA. Paz was a proud
aunt of Claudia
GOYCOOLEA
(Mauricio
MEYER,) Alexandre
COULON
(Maureen COULON-
MENASHE,)
Oliver
GOYCOOLEA and great-aunt to
Nicholas MEYER.
She was a loving step-mother to Kim and Gary
BUTTEDAHL and proud grandmother to Caleb and Alisha
GRUNERT.
Her family wishes to join in expressing all their love and appreciation
for the extraordinary person Paz was, and for the outstanding
contributions she made to the world. Paz was born in Santiago,
Chile, and created a vast network of Friends, colleagues and
students throughout the world, garnered through a long and distinguished
career. The breadth of her experience spanned work with universities,
international development organizations and agencies, and the
Canadian military. Whatever the setting, common threads ran through
all of her work: a passion for fostering international and intercultural
understanding; a focus on sustainable development; and a belief
in the possibility of creating an equitable and socially just
world. The academic portion of Paz's career involved teaching
at several universities in Canada, the United States, and Latin
America, including a faculty position at the University of British
Columbia and most recently, at Royal Roads University. Her work
at the universities was always characterized by a passionate
commitment to her students, the injection of an international
perspective and comparative education approach to her courses,
and a desire to create international partnerships linking students
and educators from the developing world with those in Canada.
Paz was sought after as a researcher and educator specializing
in international development issues, and was a consultant with
many international agencies and organizations. These included
the Canadian International Development Agency, The United Nations
Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the U.S. Agency
for International Development, and the Organization of American
States. Paz also worked for almost a decade with the International
Development Research Centre in Ottawa. As Deputy Director of
the Fellowships and Awards Division, her focus was on the development
of human resources and the strengthening of institutions in the
developing world through the education and training of their
researchers and project staff. Paz strongly believed in learning
as a crucial component in the achievement of sustainable development.
In the early 1990s, as international development issues became
more and more intertwined with issues of security, Paz was invited
to attend the National Defense College in Kingston, Ontario,
where she also contributed as the academic advisor to the Commandant.
A subsequent posting to the Centre for National Security Studies
provided a base for her research linking issues of sustainable
development to those of human security. Paz's vast storehouse
of knowledge and experience found a home and became invested
in the creation of the Master of Arts in Human Security and Peacebuilding
program at Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia.
As founder and program head, Paz worked tirelessly to build the
program and to ensure its sustainability and its relevance to
the international development and security issues of today's
world. The Master of Arts in Human Security and Peacebuilding
program was to be Paz's final contribution in a lifetime of notable
achievements. In spite of failing health during the past months,
she found strength in providing ongoing leadership to the program
and in planning for its future. Paz, with her indomitable spirit
and her vision of a world that might be, has enriched and influenced
the lives of hundreds of Friends and colleagues around the world.
Her loss will be deeply mourned. A celebration of her life will
be held on at 1 p.m. on October 21 at Royal Roads University,
2nd Floor Grant Building, 2005 Sooke Rd. Victoria, British Columbia.

of Giovanni
TIBOLDO and Fanny
UHLER, she immigrated to Canada
with her husband and children in 1958 and was a long-time resident
of Kingston. A strong, generous and enterprising woman, she was
an avid gardener, professional seamstress and gourmet cook. Fluent
in four languages, she made special Friends among the Italian
community in Kingston. Forever proud of her Swiss culture, she
developed a special love for the Canadian landscape and her little
paradise at Lacey Lake exploring with pals Caleb and Rerun. She
travelled the world with her husband and in her later years,
found inspiration and happiness in her many car trips across
the country.
As she wished, a private celebration of her life will be held
in the spring. Cards and flowers are gratefully declined and
if desired, donations can be made to the Doctor Roxroy O. West
Foundation, Pacemaker Clinic, Kingston General Hospital, 76 Stuart

BECKER, received the prestigious Wason Medal for
Materials Research of the American Concrete Institute in 1975,
for the best paper of the year in that field. In recognition
of his outstanding contributions to engineering science Cameron
was made a Life Member and Fellow of the Canadian Society of
Civil Engineering, a Fellow of the American Concrete Institute,
and a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada. However,
what gave him the greatest pleasure were the accomplishments
of his students. Cameron also distinguished himself in professional
and community service. He was a referee for numerous scholarly
journals and for National Science and Engineering Research Council
of Canada and the National Research Council of Canada, a member
of various technical committees of the Canadian Standards Association
and the American Concrete Institute, and Chairman of the Board
of the Border Cities Branch of the Engineering Institute of Canada.
He served on the University of Windsor Senate and Board of Governors,
the Council of Ontario Universities, the Board of Directors of
the London Goodenough Association of Canada, and the Board of
Windsor's Metropolitan Hospital. Cameron manifested his strong
commitment to human rights through membership in Amnesty International
and as an envoy of the First Unitarian Church, Toronto, to the
United Nations Non-governmental Organization. Cameron's life
was enriched by his love of art, music, and theatre. He was a
voracious reader and a wonderful conversationalist. He travelled
extensively, with favourite destinations being Great Britain
and Nova Scotia. Cameron had a delightful and of ten mischievous
sense of humour. His gregarious nature was a hallmark of who
he was. He was comfortable in any social situation and had a
marvellous capacity to put others at ease. A man of high principles
and great integrity, he was exemplary in his loyalty and devotion
to family and Friends. Cameron will be remembered as a true gentleman,
and is held in the greatest respect and affection by all who
were so very fortunate to know him. A celebration of Cameron's
life will be held on Saturday, September 15, 2007 at 2: 00 p.m.
at the First Unitarian Church, 175 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto.
Immediately following there will be a reception at the Church.
As an expression of sympathy and respect donations may be made
in Cameron's memory to the Doctor Cameron MacInnis Scholarship in
the Faculty of Engineering, University of Windsor, c/o University
Advancement, 401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, Ontario N9B 3P4.

Three dead in murder-suicide
By Karen PINCHIN, Canadian Press, Wed., June 27, 2007
Toronto -- A 13-year-old girl who just celebrated her elementary
school graduation ran bloodied and screaming from her suburban
home as she fled a crime scene that police called a double-murder
suicide yesterday.
While authorities remain tight-lipped about their investigation,
saying only that a 32-year-old man killed two women, aged 78 and
47, before taking his own life Monday night, neighbours said
the man had recently lost his job as a machine technician.
The girl, her hair still in curls from the Grade 8 graduation
ceremony, ran across the street sobbing and bleeding before she
collapsed on a neighbour's front lawn, witnesses: said.
Ria HOSEIN, who lives in the house where the girl collapsed,
said the teen's name is Anna
HO and she was "covered in blood"
and screamed, "my mom is going to die, my mom is going to die."
HOSEIN said the girl's biological father lives in China.
HOSEIN's husband Tony, who called police, said when he helped
the girl up "she almost collapsed."
Neighbours identified the man living in the home as Alton
BECKFORD
and said he had recently been fired from his job and acting erratically.
While police said there were no plans to release the victims'
names, neighbours said
BECKFORD lived in the house with his common-law
wife, Amy IAM, and her mother, as well as
IAM's two children
from a previous marriage.
Municipal records indicate the home was owned by both
BECKFORD
and IAM.
Police said all three bodies were discovered Monday evening on
the main floor of the two-storey home, but would not confirm
reports that the women had been fatally stabbed. The teen girl's
17-year-old brother was not at home at the time, said
HOSEIN.
HOSEIN said his youngest daughter is a classmate and good friend
of the girl, and attended the same graduation.

Neighbours noticed man's strange mood before killings
By Alex DOBROTA with a report from Timothy
APPLEBY,
Page
A13
Toronto -- Outside his Scarborough house, Alton
BECKFORD showed
the buoyant face of a loving husband, a man often seen at barbecues
and one who installed a basketball net on his driveway for neighbouring
children.
But at other times, sources say, he was violent. One neighbour
said yesterday that he had beaten his stepdaughter. And a source
close to the investigation told The Globe and Mail that he is
suspected of having attempted to sexually molest a teenaged girl.
Mr. BECKFORD, 32, is believed to have killed himself after stabbing
to death his wife, 47, and his mother-in-law, 78.
The domestic tragedy unfolded Monday night, less than 30 minutes
after he drove his family home from his stepdaughter's graduation
at a nearby school, where they cheered the girl who had won a
history award and made the honour roll.
The girl, 13, escaped the house bleeding from slash wounds, still
wearing her graduation dress. She screamed: "Alton killed my
mother!" one neighbour recalled.
Born in Jamaica, Mr.
BECKFORD settled on quiet Knowles Drive
three years ago. He moved in with his common-law partner, a Hong
Kong émigré and her two children. The couple bought a red-brick
townhouse with a double garage on a $175,000 mortgage.
The woman was overjoyed with her new life, neighbours said. She
had escaped an abusive husband in Hong Kong, a neighbour said.
And Mr. BECKFORD even helped her find a job at a factory where
he worked as a technician.
But that picture started showing cracks last year, according
to a friend of the girl.
"Almost all the time she called me on the phone and she started
crying and she told me how he hit her with a belt," said Brittney
LEE, 14.
Brittney said the girl called police this year to report the
abuse. When officers showed up at the house, she changed her
story, afraid her mother would suffer if Mr.
BECKFORD was arrested,
Brittney said.
Police could not confirm yesterday whether officers responded
to a domestic call.
His stepson, 17, dropped out of high school and avoided Mr.
BECKFORD
whenever possible, Brittney said.
Reports of the man's violent side came as a shock to his neighbours.
Some said Mr.
BECKFORD was often seen driving his stepdaughter
to school. He also attended get-togethers in the neighbourhood.
Most neighbours agree, though, that his mood changed about one
month ago, when he was fired from his job. He was seen brooding
and complaining of headaches. Restless, he wandered around the
neighbourhood, asking for Tylenol and Advil.
Yesterday morning, drips of blood still stained the white wooden
railing of a neighbouring veranda, where the girl had collapsed
bleeding and screaming for help the night before.
Behind the police tape that cordoned off her house's front lawn,
a banner in Chinese characters gleamed. It read: "Congratulations!
Wish you fortune! Wish you wealth!"
