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.

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.

Death of elderly Scarborough couple suspected murder-suicide
By Jessica
RAFUSE,
Page
A12
The death of an elderly couple marks the city's second suspected
murder-suicide in less than a month, sparking concerns about
the issues geriatric caregivers face when they are ill themselves.
A woman visiting her parents' Scarborough home late Tuesday evening
discovered the body of her 81-year-old mother in a bedroom. She
had a gunshot wound to the head. Police later found her 83-year-old
father in a car in the garage, also shot in the head.
Neighbours say the elderly woman had cancer, while her husband,
who had been her primary support and caregiver, was recently
hospitalized for heart complications.
"I guess he just couldn't cope any more," said neighbour Ramon
SMITH, who is 75 and takes care of his wife, who suffers from
Alzheimer's disease.
The scene in Scarborough was eerily familiar for Toronto police,
who just last month found the bodies of Percy
STEIN, 66, and
his mother Sarah
GRUPSTEIN, 84, in a condominium downtown, in
what is also believed to be a "mercy killing."
Rather than succumb to the stomach cancer Mr.
STEIN was battling
and leave his wheelchair-bound mother to be sent to a nursing
home, he decided to end their lives himself. He shot her before
killing himself on the bed beside her. He left a note.
Benoit MULSANT, clinical director of geriatric mental health
at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, said these cases
highlight an important type of murder-suicide in which an individual
who is taking care of an older person, usually debilitated and
dependent, comes to the "distorted conclusion" that they are
both better off dead.
"When looked at, it first appears to be humane," said Doctor
MULSANT.
"But the person who is killed is not consulted and not able to
express his or her opinion."
While murder-suicides are rare, depression and feelings of hopelessness
are not a natural part of aging and need to be treated, Doctor
MULSANT
said.
"People expect older people to be miserable, so this makes it
acceptable. But, wrongly so."
The uncertainty of what lies ahead, loss of companionship and
the shifts in roles and responsibilities are some of the major
challenges elder caregivers deal with, said Arlene
CONSKY, a
social worker for Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care.
The difficulties with coping and adjusting to these changes can
be a source of depression, especially when caregivers are battling
illnesses of their own, and have negative consequences on their
behaviour and frame of mind if left untreated.
Dr. MULSANT advises people to pay serious attention when individuals
make negative comments about their life, have sleeping problems,
are experiencing weight loss or lose passion and interest in
their usual activities.
It's important to watch for these symptoms because many elderly
patients who suffer from them won't necessarily bring them up,
often due to the stigma surrounding mental illness and old age.
Dr. MULSANT also reminds people that if they're concerned about
someone, they shouldn't be afraid to ask them if they are thinking
about death or want to die for fear they're planting ideas in
their head.
"Many people are relieved that someone cares," Doctor
MULSANT said.
"Many people who are suicidal will tell you the truth and are
happy that you want to help."
Accessing support and services that assist caregivers is one
of the most important steps to reducing rates of depression,
said Ms. CONSKY.
"Knowing they're not alone and not the only ones has a way of
transforming the way they're coping from a victim to an empowered
person," she said.
