A button was found outside of the second-floor entrance to the cafeteria at the New Westminster Campus. It is a button for the band Frank Hops; who appears to be a local band, and their button emblazoned with a heart and flowers also has the word “Wicked Charmer” around it. Which is the album… possibly.

The pin on the back is broken. It was fixed by the finder, but it is still broken. This button was likely on a back pack. Perhaps the owner was running to get some of that sweet, sweet Tim Horton’s cuisine. Maybe they were buying a donut to use as a substitute bun for a Triple O burger. If they did that, at least losing the button was only going to be the second most depressing thing they did that day.

In a similar location, a simple BIC pen (not even a Cello Butterflow) with a chewed bottom was found without a lid. The teeth marks could possibly be identifiable, so if this is your cherished pen please come into the office and prepare to have your teeth imprint taken to ensure that the pen goes back to its rightful owner. An umbrella with some of it’s short and long ribs snapped was also found accidentally shoved into the trash. The Other Press has rescued the umbrella and now has in in “safekeeping” at their Douglas College office. If you would like to see your button or umbrella back, just write an article about the importance of securing your buttons to your items with proper button latching and an article about not taking your umbrella out in the blustering winds.
