PROKOPETZ - John Prokopetz was born on January 17, 1930, on the family farm near Hamton, SK. He was the youngest son of Metro and Helen (nee Zaharia) Prokopetz. John attended Stawchan School (later in his life he supported the school as a trustee). In 1957, he obtained employment at the Caribou Gold Quartz mine in Wells, BC. However, the call of the prairies and the farm life was strong and John soon returned home to the family farm near Hamton. In 1958, he married Shirley (nee Matechuk) and they were blessed with four children, Darrell, Dwayne, Sharlene and Michelle. John was an active member of communities he lived in. He was a long time member of the Hamton Community Centre until its closure. He was a councillor for the R.M. of Sliding Hills Division II for six years and a Canadian Wheat Pool Member. John was on the executive of Palibrode Church, where his father, Metro was laid to rest. John was a life-long member of the Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Yorkton and the Order of St. Andrew men’s association. John continued to farm until 1996, when he retired and moved to Yorkton. When his health began to decline due to congestive heart failure, he moved to the Invermay Health Centre in September of 2014. On July 2, 2015, he relocated to the Yorkton Lodge at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home. On July 16, 2015, he passed away peacefully at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre, surrounded by his loving family. John was predeceased by his parents, Metro and Helen; his sisters, Mary Chipel and Polly Rody; his brother, Peter and his nephews, Clifford Prokopetz and Leslie Rody. John leaves to mourn his passing and cherish his memory, his loving wife, Shirley and their children: son, Darrell (Lois) and his children, Ian (Lori) and their sons, Benson and Henry, Amy (Ugene) and their sons, Viktor and Maxim, Melissa (Will) and their son, Timothy and Kyle (Katherine) and her children, Saphira and Deagan; son, Dwayne (Brenda); daughter, Sharlene (Craig) Popoff and their children, Breanna (Tyler), Scott and Brett; daughter, Michelle (Rob) Resler; sister, Elsie (Joe); his sister-in-law, Mary as well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends. A Visitation for Family and Friends was held on Monday, July 20, 2015 from the Chapel of Christie’s Funeral Home in Yorkton, SK. The Funeral Service was held on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 from Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Yorkton, SK with the Very Reverend Mel Slashinsky officiating. The cantor, Gerald Yaholnitsky and members of the church choir led the responses. The Cross Bearer was Ernest Matechuk and the Banner Bearers were Kyle Prokopetz and Alexander Grywacheski.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Christie’s Funeral Home & Crematorium, Yorkton, Saskatchewan. MACCOLL - Sandra Jean MacColl - facilitator, foodie, artist, actor, teacher, traveller, mentor and muse - died on July 17, 2015, 72 years and 10 days after she was born to Hugh and Mary MacColl, in Canora, SK. In that short span of time, Sandra had a positive effect on countless people. A Junior High teacher of English, French and Art for 37 years (a feat deserving of a medal all in itself!), she is often remembered by former students as a favourite. She was a traveller. As a teacher, she took time to work in the exotic borough of Bengough, SK, the tangy town of Mayo, Yukon and near the wee bonnie brooks of Stirling, Scotland. As an explorer, she visited many locales including Scotland, England, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Gibraltar, Germany, Holland, Cypress and Wales. After a year teaching in Bengough, she decided she needed to calm down a little from the excitement there and went off to make love, not war, in the beatnik scene of Toronto. She worked at the Riverboat Coffeehouse in Yorkville and met, and rubbed shoulders with, the likes of Ian and Sylvia Tyson, Jesse Collin Young from the Youngbloods, Zal Yanovsky from the Lovin’ Spoonful, Gordon Lightfoot and Bob Dylan. After some time away, she returned to teach in the Yorkton area and became one of the world’s great environmentalists and record-keeper. Nothing was wasted, little thrown away. Everything had the potential for a second life. Minutes from every meeting ever attended, … ideas, thoughts, suggestions and “ah ha” moments written on envelopes, napkins, notepads, scraps of paper and calendars, … beads, baubles, paint and pictures - all were saved and stored because Sandra knew that someday, somewhere, SOMEONE was going to need that exact item! Sandra Jean was a woman of many talents who dabbled in many areas and excelled in most. At various times throughout her life, she was an actor, director, and artist. She was a potter, a photographer and a gardener. She knitted, crocheted and sewed and was a lover and collector of antiques and items of beauty. She loved to read and loved to cook. Sandra delighted in taking a great recipe and making it better (to which salivating friends and families can attest). No matter what she did, she did it with style and flair and passion - always giving it 150 percent. Family, friends, her church, her cats, the arts - all were great loves of Sandra and because of the type of person she was, she was loved back by all. She won awards right from elementary school through high school, university and beyond - a CGIT trip to Stratford, scholarships and honours at school, the Zone 4 Recognition for Arts (1992), the SSEA Provincial Volunteer Recognition Award (1992) and, just this winter, a nomination by her good friends and strong supporters for the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal. Solely, or co-creatively with other inspirational minds, Sandra was in one way, shape or form, responsible for or at least a large part of many initiatives. A partial list of these would include the following: ART for YOUth, Sask Culture Board of Directors, Yorkton Public Library Board, pARTners gallery, SSEA Provincial & Local Board member, Executive positions with Yorkton Arts Council, Instrumental in establishing the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre in Yorkton, Cofounder of Sunflower (arts and craft exhibition running over 35 years.), Cultural co-chair Saskatchewan 2000 Summer Games, ARTARAMA, Organized the Antique Family Treasures Road Show, Three Wisewomen show and sale of artistic Christmas gifts, Renaissance Yorkton, Church volunteering, Sandra’s Verandah - with her love and knowledge of antiques, Sandra started her own antique and collectibles business. Sandra was predeceased by her mother and father, Mary (Strilioff) and Hugh MacColl, sisters, Alicia Lomas and Lauralee Nogue, brothers-in-law, Richard Lomas and Mitch Palmer and niece, Shelley (Hall) Melnychuk. She leaves behind to mourn, but celebrate her life, her sisters, Joan Hall and Sharon Palmer, her brother, Robin MacColl and many nieces and nephews: Susan, Karen, Debbie, Cheryl, John, James, Shawn, Scott, Ryan, Michael, Jeffrey, Sharalee, Sandie Ann, Nisha and Kate. She also had great and great-great nieces and nephews, too numerous to list, but not forgotten. Funeral Services were held on Saturday, July 25, 2015, from St. Andrew’s United Church in Yorkton with Rev. Jen Dresser officiating. The organist, Shani Apland with members of the church choir led the congregation in the singing of the hymns ‘This Is God’s Wondrous World’ and ‘We Shall Go Out’. Sharalee Chwaliszewski sang a solo ‘It’s A Wonderful World’. Tributes and words of remembrance were given by Tami Hall, Debbie Maskus, Susan Flett, Merle Sherwin and Shirley Huziak. Vivian Mason read the 23 Psalm. Piper, Ferne Katzberg played the recessional ‘Skye Boat Song’ and at the graveside played ‘Amazing Grace’. Interment followed in the Yorkton City Cemetery. Andre Nogue gave a tribute prayer at the graveside. The urn bearers were Sandra’s sisters, Sharon Palmer and Joan Hall and Sandra’s brother, Robin MacColl. Memorials in memory of Sandra may be made towards the Guardian Angel Animal Rescue Yorkton. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.baileysfuneralhome .com. Arrangements were entrusted to:

heart and always something interesting to talk about. It saddens us to share the news that John Donald MacDonald (given name) passed away at his home in the early hours of June 25, 2015. Proud to be born in Yorkton, SK he carried through his life deep roots and strong connections to friends and family from his growing years. He set out West to work as a Telegraph operator for the Railroad on Vancouver Island working for many years in the Duncan/ Ladysmith area. The demand for operators decreased and he went to work for the WCB Communications department in Vancouver. Upon Retiring he moved to Nanaimo, where he set about creating an amazing social network. Long time member of the Brechin United Church he volunteered his time and talents to committees and the loaves & fishes food bank. He was known in the boater’s community on the waterfront, Newcastle Channel, owning a sailboat, and had some great adventures, setting out on trips to meet up with friends he had made into his own family. Jack was an avid clock collector of all eras, which put extra heartbeats in his home. He played golf, and to this day had clubs in his car at the ready. A supporter of local artists, the Museum, CBC Radio all fed into his plethora of local and world history… and filled the remaining walls of his home with paintings. He boasted a wonderful trip to Paris a few years back just before his health started to slow him down. It was a blessing that he had reached 80 years of age, we would have loved to share with him more. Jack was predeceased by his only sister Margaret (Ruth) Kuch and her husband Ed Kuch, and leaves behind his Nephew John and his partner Deborah Kruks of Port Alberni; Niece Andrea Kuch of Toronto; and Niece Louise McKean and her Husband Kent of Winnipeg. All of whom were as dear to him as they were his own. The remaining cousins, relatives and close friends will also find an empty space where there once was a fine caring man who filled their lives with love and friendship. A service/celebration of life will be held in honor of John (Jack) MacDonald at the Brechin United Church in the Fall. There will be a brief announcement in the local paper but if you wish to be contacted when the date is set, please call 250-754-3106 or email fjcosta@telus.net and leave your name with Joan or Fernando Costa.

LAHTI - Jan. June 4, 1965 - July 16, 2015. We are stunned and heartbroken over Jan’s sudden and unexpected passing. Her husband and daughters, Todd, Dana and Claire were the centre of her universe and she continues to be the centre of theirs. Jan also leaves her mother, Donna (Craigie) Kitsch of Saltcoats, SK; sister Rhonda Lyle (Dale, Ben, Travis) of Portage la Prairie, MB; sister Moira Warke (Andrew, Jordyn, Caeleigh) of Edmonton, AB and her family on Todd’s side, Sharon, Michelle and Jay Lahti and their families. She was predeceased by her father Ewald Kitsch in 1997. Jan was born in Yorkton, SK in 1965 and grew up in nearby Saltcoats. She attended elementary school in Saltcoats and high school in Yorkton. She received her Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 1987 and then moved to Calgary to work with the accounting firm, Coopers & Lybrand. She achieved her Chartered Accountant designation in 1990. Shortly after moving to Calgary, Jan and Todd found each other and were married in Saskatoon in 1991. They then moved to Bermuda, where Jan worked at the Price Waterhouse accounting firm until Dana’s arrival in 1995. Wishing to raise their children closer to home, Jan and Todd returned to Saskatoon in 1997. Claire followed in 1998 and while Jan continued to work part-time from home, her primary focus was supporting and promoting her children’s academic, athletic and musical pursuits. Numerous volunteer organizations benefited from Jan’s countless hours of diligent dedication. Jan was an avid sports fan and was the resident source of statistics and trivia for her friends and family. She enjoyed nature, particularly at her acreage and in the many preserves around Naples, Florida, where she and her family religiously trekked each winter. We will miss you Janny. You shaped your girls and husband more than you know. You were taken from us too soon, but will always be with us. Our family is grateful to the staff at the Royal University Hospital Coronary Care Unit for their incredible care and professionalism. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes can be made to the RUH Coronary Care Unit or the Heart and Stroke Foundation. A Memorial Service took place on Thursday, July 23, 2015 at Acadia-McKague’s Funeral Centre, 915 Acadia Drive in Saskatoon. Lunch and a time of sharing memories followed. Arrangements entrusted to Acadia-McKague’s Funeral Centre.
