TIMOTHY T. LUDWIGUSA TODAY SPORTS FILES Capitals, Wizards shine positive light on dark time in sports MANTIE, Robert Norman July 24, 1933 -April 2, 2020 Bob was born in Saskatoon and the youngest of 8. Moving to Durban Manitoba, Bob and his family set down roots in the area that last to this day. Bob went west to Alberta in 1951 and embarked on a few interesting careers he worked for a time at Travers Dam, moved to seismic work where he went to work for 2 years in Libya and 2 years in Argentina. Returning to Alberta he bought a gravel truck, eventually working with the Department of Highways for 15 years, making lifelong friends.

If you have driven down a paved road in Alberta, chances are, Bob had a part in that. He then moved to Westcamp Catering, taking staff and groceries to rig camps. He travelled where there were no roads this time and had a lot of stories to tell. When Bob retired he volunteered for the Canadian Cancer Society taking patients for treatment; you couldn't take the driver out of Bob. He married Mary "Mae" in 1963.

They had Bruce (wife Teresa), granddaughter Caitlyn (mother Denise), and Crystal (spouse Quinn). Bob loved to camp and tend the fire. He could fix or make anything and always had a smile or a story. He will be missed by many. SERENITY 111 I H'N 1 UN In Memoriams In loving memory of Lola Faye Langford January 1 6, 1 946 April 6, 201 9 It's been a long year Mom.

2,2020 It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Hans Lipinski of Edmonton, Alberta, announce his passing on April 2, 2020. Hans was a selfless and loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, and will be greatly missed by those left to grieve his passing. Hans was devastated by the loss of his wife of 55 years, Katharina in 2009, and he never fully recovered from losing her.

In the early stages of the pandemic, Major League Baseball pledged $1 million per team to cover game-day employees for a while. The Washington Nationals are using their share to support employees who would have worked this weekend's scheduled series against the New York Mets ushers, ticket-takers, etc. But there are other tentacles, too.

A group representing 1,200 folks who work at Nationals Park but are employed by contractors not the Nationals themselves held a conference call with reporters Thursday, trying to pressure MLB and the Nationals to pay employees for contractors that staff the ballpark on game days warehouse employees, concessionaires and the like. The contracted workers at Capital One Arena are in the same situation. We're here, though, to look for the good. Thursday was supposed to be the Nationals' home opener. The team couldn't play.

So it partnered with its flagship radio station, 106.7 the Fan, for a daylong radio drive to pour money into a COVID-19 relief fund it established last week with $100,000. General manager Mike Rizzo opened the morning by saying he would match every dollar listeners donated duringthe 9 a.m. hour with "The Junkies." Manager Dave Martinez called in with a $7,500 gift. Max Scherzer announced on "Grant Danny" that he'd give $100,000. By the end of the day, listeners had called in with more than $32,000 in donations to the Nats-4Good Community Response Fund, money that will be doledout to groups such as 4P Foods, which is leading a coalition of groups that is supportinglocal farms and businesses so the food supply chain can hold up.

"We stand at the ready to give again," Tal Alter, the CEO of Washington Nationals Philanthropies, wrote in an open letter. The easy thing is to say, "They should do more." But knowthat not all teams are handling things this way. The Boston Bruins reduced pay for 82 full-time associates and placed another 68 employees on leave. That's just an example. Back to our Capital One Arena workers.

There will be no Capitals playoff games anytime soon, games that would have brought more income. Who knows when the next event will be held there? "I'm sitting here watching television," Copeland said by phone from his home in Upper Marlboro, Md. "They're talking about baseball going to be extended out, and who knows about basketball and hockey? It would be nice to see everyone again, just to give each other a hug." None of us can see all the people we want to right now. And these teams, they'll come under more pressure to give the longer this crisis goes on. But at the start, and quickly, Leonsis and his partners did the right thing.

That matters. The Washington Post BARRY SVRLUGA WASHINGTON Just more than three weeks ago, the Washington Capitals were scheduled to play the Detroit Red Wings at Capital One Arena. A hockey game! What a lovely and quaint concept. That game, and so many across the country and across sports, was postponed the afternoon of March 12. The Capitals haven't skated since then.

But as the novel coronavirus pandemic alters our lives in so many ways, it's a reminder that a crisis can reveal something about character. That's obviously the case with the health-care workers who are riskingtheir own safety to help others as we try to get through this thing. But it pops up in places you might not expect, too. "Initially, when we found out we weren't going to be working for March, we were like, 'Wow, what do we do Deneen Allen said. Allen is one of 850 part-time workers who staff events at Capital OneArena.

She works as amarshal on the event level, helping secure areas off-limits to fans and presenting a smiling face. And last week, Monumental Sports Entertainment, which owns the Capitals, the Wizards and the arena, answered her question: She would get paid for not working. "We are just so appreciative," Allen said. These times, they are testing all of us. Monumental CEO Ted Leon-sis passed this one, and easily.

"I figured they would take care of full-time employees," said Kenneth Copeland, who serves as a supervisor during Capital One Arena events. "But I was surprised they extended it to part-time employees surprised and excited." The last Capitals regular season home game was scheduled for Thursday night. The Wizards were supposed to host the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night and had two more home games before their regular season wrapped up April 15. In all, Monumental said it would pay million to those 850 part-time workers, which works out to more than $1,400 per person for hours that just evaporated. That's a stimulus cheque, but not from the government.

And it matters. Now, to be clear, Allen and Cope-land both said they are equipped to get by without the extra work. Allen, 55, has a full-time job as a program analyst for the federal government. Copeland, 58, retired three years ago from his job at D.C. Superior Court.

"I was more concerned for other people, for co-workers who don't have other jobs," Allen said. That's the point: concern for other people. This is all complicated, and as wealthy as the people who own professional sports franchises are, they're not bottomless pits of cash, particularly with the revenue lost from games that aren't played and seasons that are teetering on the edge of being cancelled. There's uncertainty for all of us. But what you're looking for are signs that, through all of this, peo Brett William Jackson February 19, 1993 April 6, 2017 To the one we lost along the way, There's a time that we remember When we did not know pain When we believed in forever And everything would stay the same.

Now our hearts feel like December When somebody says your name Cause we can't reach out and call you But we know we will one day again. You are forever in our hearts And that lifetime of special memories Will have to last until then.
