KYBA - Mr. Nestor Kyba of Yorkton, formerly of the Dneiper district, entered eternal life on the afternoon of May 29, 2016. He was 80 years of age. Nestor John Kyba was born on October 3, 1935 in Canora, to Anthony and Stephania (Yurkiw) Kyba. He was the second oldest of 4 brothers and 3 sisters. Together with his parents and siblings, Nestor grew up on the Kyba family homestead East of Dneiper. Nestor received his elementary education at Cedric School in the Dneiper district and then went on to graduate from St Joseph’s College in Yorkton in 1954. Upon completion of high school, Nestor started farming with his parents. On August 1, 1964, Nestor married the love of his life, Jean Ostafie at the Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Catholic Church at Dneiper. Together they took over and made their home on the family farm. Their marriage was blessed with two children, Debbie in 1966 and David in 1968. Nestor and Jean operated the family farm together, sharing many of the duties. When harvest came, Nestor would operate the combine and Jean would haul the grain, and as the years went on, and they got another combine, Nestor took over the grain hauling and Jean operated one of the combines. In the winter when Nestor wasn’t busy pushing snow, he kept busy in the house helping with the cooking and washing dishes while Jean was busy sewing. Nestor and Jean remained on the farm until 2006, when due to health reasons, they moved to Yorkton. Nestor continued to rent out the land and maintain the farm yard until the farm was sold. Nestor was a true member of his faith. He was an active member of the Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Catholic Church at Dneiper, serving as an executive member of the church and hall committees and singing in the choir. There were many great memories made, cutting the grass on the cemetery and church grounds and preparing for and enjoying the many New Year’s and Pre-Lenten dances. When church services became less frequent at Dneiper, Nestor and Jean became members of St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton. In the last few years, Nestor once again, joined and enjoyed being a part of the church choir. In May, 1966, Nestor joined the newly established Father Decorby Council of the Knights of Columbus in Canora and was elected to the executive as the warden. Since that time, he served on the executive in many capacities including District Deputy. In 1992, Nestor and Jean enjoyed a trip to New York where Nestor was the Delegate for Saskatchewan at a Knights of Columbus function. Nestor was recently recognized as one of remaining charter members of the Fr. Decorby council. When Nestor and Jean moved to Yorkton, Nestor joined the Father Delaere Council of the Knights of Columbus. Nestor was also honoured to become a Fourth Degree Knight with the Brother Stanislaus Assembly in Yorkton. Besides the Church, Nestor also served as a leader of the Dneiper 4-H Club, a member of the Rhein Wheat Pool Committee and a member of the R.M. of Sliding Hills Parks and Recreation Board. Nestor and Jean always enjoyed socializing with friends and family with a cup of coffee or a drink, in the winter a game of cards and in the summer a game of horse shoes. In 1996, Nestor approached a long-awaited milestone of his life, that of a Grandpa. His grandchildren, Brett, Braden and Brielle quickly became the focus of his life, as was he of theirs. Grandpa was always there to support and cheer on his grandchildren in their sports, school concerts and dance recitals and was always available to get them to school and their activities when needed. When Jean became ill in 2004, Nestor stood by her side and assisted her as needed. He was able to bring her home from the hospital in time to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. Nestor continued to care for Jean at home until her passing in 2009. Nestor continued to enjoy his grandkids, his church and Knights activities, as well as Yorkton Terrier hockey games, the horse races and coffee row at the mall. On May 14, 2016, Nestor was admitted to the Yorkton Regional Health Centre with health issues that became beyond his ability to fight. Nestor is survived by his children, David and daughter and son-in-law Debbie and Larry Kitchen, his grandchildren Brett, Braden and Brielle Kitchen and his brothers and sisters: Father Boris Kyba, Paul (Lynne) Kyba, Joanna Pidperyhora and Cornelia (Bruce) Kyba-Bobinski. Nestor was predeceased by his wife Jean, his parents Anthony and Stephania, his in-laws Victor and Mary Ostafie, his brother Stan, sister Marie (in infancy), brothers-inlaw Ronnie Ostafie and Jim Pidperyhora and sister-in-law Eileen Kyba. Prayers were held on Thursday, June 2, 2016 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton. The Holy Rosary led by members of the Knights of Columbus, Father Delaere Council and Brother Stanislaus Assembly preceded the prayers. Requiem Divine Liturgy was celebrated on Friday, June 3, 2016 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Most Rev. Bishop Bryan Bayda, C.Ss.R., Very Rev. Boris Kyba, C.Ss.R., Very Rev. Bohdan Lukie, C.Ss.R. and Confreres concelebrating. The Responses were led by Lorne Stechyshyn, Colette Karapita & Parish Choir Members. The cross bearer was Brielle Kitchen and the epistle reader was Cornelia Kyba-Bobinski. The Honour Guard consisted of members of Knight of Columbus, Third and Fourth Degrees. The interment took place in the Yorkton City Cemetery with David Kyba, Brett Kitchen, Braden Kitchen, Larry Kitchen, Leo Lucash and Ed Shalkowsky serving as the casket bearers. Following the reception, a eulogy was presented by David Kyba and Larry Kitchen. Memorials honouring Nestor’s life may be made to St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church or The Health Foundation as gifts of remembrance.

BERG - Dylan Mathew Berg passed away on May 30, 2016 at the age of 26. Dylan was born in Yorkton on August 15, 1989, the son of Dianne (nee Blazeiko) and the late Corey Berg. Dylan completed his education in Churchbridge in 2007. Upon completion of high school, he started employment with EMW in Saltcoats where he gained his passion to become an ironworker. Dylan had just completed his requirements for his Red Seal Journeyman’s Certificate. His iron working took him all over Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories. Through his local 771 he made many lasting friendships within the brotherhood. Dylan’s passion has always been the outdoors. He grew up fishing off the dock at the cabin at Lake of the Prairies and in the boat anywhere there was water, including at the cabin at Burgis Beach. Hunting was a passion that he so enjoyed with his Dad, Grandpas, Uncles and friends. There were many memories made Elk hunting at Weekes and at the Lak-a-nooki Moose Shack. Quadding, snowmobiling, trapping and scouting were all past times, that when spent with all his family and friends, meant the world to him. Dylan was a very compassionate person. In 2009 after his father Corey was diagnosed with cancer, Dylan made a decision to grow his hair and donate it for wigs for those who were in need. Dylan “Rocked his Mullet� and was very, very proud of it! After 4 years of growth, on December 11, 2013 Dylan chose to cut off his “rat tail�. He raised approximately $5,500.00 for the Cancer Society which well exceeded his fundraising goal. Dylan played minor and senior hockey in Churchbridge and spent many years playing Rec Hockey. He always looked forward to the annual Imperials Boxing Day Hockey Tournament in Churchbridge. As a true Boston Bruins fan, he was able to see his team play in Edmonton last year. His vast knowledge of hockey recently led him to a potential opportunity of becoming a hockey scout. In 2006 Dylan followed his parent’s involvement in volunteer fire firefighting and joined as a junior firefighter with Churchbridge Fire and Rescue and has been a member since. Dylan loved to travel. His first trip was in 2008 where he travelled with his Mom, Dad and sister to Arizona to visit his grandparents. In 2009 he traveled to Montreal to watch the UFC fights. In 2010 he travelled to Costa Rica with his Mom and Ashley to spend Christmas together. He loved it so much there that he went back in 2011 with his friends. In 2014 his love of hockey took him to watch the World Juniors in Sweden. In 2015 he travelled to Thailand where he backpacked across the country, had an opportunity to ride an elephant, cuddled a monkey and was able to meet up with his cousin Jeff where they experienced some of the country together. His most recent trip was with a buddy to Arizona to spend New Year’s 2016 with his Grandpa. Dylan loved to go to concerts and there are many that will never forget the song “What was I Thinking?�. That was the song that Dylan made his “brief� debut on stage with Dierks Bentley. There was never a dull moment when Dylan was around. He always had a good comeback, a personality that lit up the room and he could talk to anyone about anything, just like his Dad! Dylan was predeceased by his Dad, Corey in 2010, his Grandma Pat Berg in 2014, his Uncle Kelly Berg in 2006 and his Grandpa Ed Blazeiko in 2003. He leaves to cherish the memories and celebrate his life, his loving Mom, Dianne Berg, his big sister Ashley Berg, Baba Olga Blazeiko, Grandpa Dennis Berg, Uncle Dale and Auntie Kelli Blazeiko (cousins Brianna (Mason) and Brady), Uncle Darren and Auntie Lorraine Blazeiko (cousins Brooke and Jake), Uncle Darren and Auntie Diane Berg (cousins Karissa (Aube) Aubichon and family, Mike (Nicole) Berg and family and Jeff Berg), Auntie Judy and Rick Grocholski (cousins Kaitlyn Berg-Grocholski, Crystal, James and Craig Berg, Amanda (Nate) Ede and family, Uncle Warren Berg (cousins Shayla and Taylor Berg), extended family and many, many friends. Dylan has gone fishing with his Dad. Love and peace! A Visitation for family and friends was held on Sunday, June 5, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. from the Chapel of Christie’s Funeral Home in Yorkton, SK. The Requiem Divine Liturgy was sung on Monday, June 6, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. from St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton, SK. Father Raymond Lukie, C.Ss.R. was the Celebrant and the responses were led by Laurie Fedorowich. The Cross Bearers were Chad Byczynski and Tanner Burman and the Epistle Readers were Brianna Blazeiko and Mike Berg. The Interment Service followed in the Yorkton City Cemetery with Father Raymond Lukie officiating, Fern Katzberg playing the bagpipes, Dylan’s mother, Dianne Berg and Dylan’s sister, Ashley Berg serving as the Urn Bearers and the Churchbridge Fire & Rescue and Local 771 Ironworkers Brotherhood serving as Honourary Urn Bearers. Friends may make donations in Dylan’s memory to the Churchbridge Arena Board, in support of arena “Chiller� project. Friends so wishing may forward their condolences to the family by visiting www.christiesfuneralhome.com. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Christie’s Funeral Home & Crematorium, Yorkton, Saskatchewan.

HILTON - Dorothy Mae Hilton was born on the family farm near Bangor, SK on February 28, 1941 to George and Johanna (Gibson) Hilton. “Dot�, as she was known to family and friends, was the third of the four “Hilton Sisters� and was born the day before her eldest sister’s birthday. Her eldest sister wanted something “gift-wrapped� not a new baby sister as her birthday gift! Dot’s early years were spent at Glyndwr, a one room prairie school where the four sisters would arrive by horse and buggy or sleigh. High school years were spent in Bredenbury and Saltcoats. Growing up on the farm, everyone contributed to the completion of the daily chores. The girls helped with housework and to tend the garden, picked berries, collected eggs from the chickens and milked the cows. They drove the tractor, hauled the hay and made haystacks. In the winter, they enjoyed skiing and snow shoeing or cleaning off a slough so they could skate. Family and community gatherings including dances and square dancing were an important part of growing up. Each girl had a hobby. Dot was an avid reader and would read anything she could get her hands on including her dad’s farming practice journals/resources. After high school, Dot moved to Saskatoon where she completed a secretarial course and during the summer months worked at “Dog and Suds�. In the early 1960’s, Dot began working for the Canadian Wildlife Services in Saskatoon and in the biology lab at the University of Saskatchewan. Her first marriage to Douglas Sameoto took her to Kingston, ON where she worked at the biology lab at Queen’s University. Dot then moved to Dartmouth and later to Halifax. In Nova Scotia she became fondly known as “Sam�. She obtained her B.A., B.Ed. and M.Ed. from Dalhousie University. Her teaching career in Halifax City spanned more than 30 years at Richmond, Oxford, Charles A. Beckett and Westmount schools. She was so well-loved by her primary students that they would cry when there was no school on the weekends! She was also, for many years, a driver education instructor. She held various positions with the Nova Scotia Teacher’s Union executive and was an active member of the NDP. Volunteering for the jazz festival was something that she enjoyed. Dot loved travelling the world with her many friends and with her partner, Richard Brown but she always loved to return to her family on the prairies. She had a passion for genealogy and spent time researching and communicating with new-found long-lost relatives from around the world. Over the years, she welcomed many university students into her home whom she fondly referred to as her, “Chestnut Babies�. She maintained many life-long friendships. Dorothy was loved by everyone that knew her and was a friend to all. Always taking an interest in others, she gave encouragement with her positive words and inviting smile. She was fond of her nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews and they adored her. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Dorothy passed away on April 19, 2016 at the Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, NS. She is survived by her partner, Richard Brown, Halifax, NS; two sisters, Thelma Hilton Wenc, Olds, AB and Florence Hutchings, Saltcoats, SK and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, two greatgreat-nieces and two great-great-nephews. She was predeceased by her parents and sister, Norma Thompson; nephew, Conrad Wenc; her three brothers-in-law and four great-nephews. Donations can be made in her memory to the Canadian Cancer Society, or the Palliative Care Unit, Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, NS. Following Dorothy’s wishes, she was cremated. Celebrations of her life were held on Saturday, June 4, 2016 from 2-6 pm at the University Club, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS and will be held at the Saltcoats Community Cemetery, Saltcoats, SK on Saturday, June 11, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Friends so wishing may forward their condolences to the family by visiting www.christiesfuneralhome.com.

Sound of poetry wins Founder’s Award Early on in The Complete Works, Justin Stephenson’s adaptation (of sorts) of the works of Canadian avant garde poet bpNichol, is a reading of the sound poem “White Sound.� In a way, it functions as a gateway to the rest of the film. Without question the most abrasive part of the film, the collision of strange noises produced by the reader and the barrage of text and animation effects layered on top could easily push people into abandoning the film all together. But, if they push through, it’s arguably the key that unlocks the whole experiment. Sound is the most important part of The Complete Works, which won the Founder’s Award at the recent Yorkton Film Festival. The sounds of letters that make up the English language being an apparent fascination of the poet the film is trying to capture. A later reading has a section on oral fixations, and the work itself frequently descends

into noises without pretending to be tethered to words. The film takes this as a chance to play with letters itself, often experimenting with typography, experimenting with how letters are presented, using computer animation, basic projection or just cutting up letters and throwing them across the screen on pieces of paper. But whatever Stephenson does, the visuals are secondary to the sound, and take a music video approach by trying to match what the sound is doing. The readings are by a selection of bpNichol’s friends, or from archival recordings of the man himself, who appears behind an oscilloscope in a move oddly remin-

iscent of Russ Meyers’ Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill! They give a little glimpse into the man, but not more than a fleeting one, the film is more interested in letting the words or even noises explaining who this was and why he was important. The impression you get is of a buzz of energy obsessed with the idea of sound and letters rather than the dull business of the language they are attached to. Which isn’t to say that this is all nonsense, some of the work has a clear narrative – for example, The True Eventual Story of Billy the Kid, presented in several sections through the film and backed with stock footage from an old, public domain Billy

the Kid movie, adjusted to feature the text being read – but it’s clear that the sounds of the words themselves were a big draw to the author, even the more traditional work taking trips into words that sounds amusing together. It’s only natural that Stephenson would be interested in bpNichol, given that much of his other work is the main titles for film and television, including several recent films by David Cronenberg. His job, then, is to try to capture the tone of a film through the presentation of words and letters, using language as a gateway to something else. His portrait of bpNichol suggests another artist doing the same thing, and while that might be the result of the filmmaker’s own obsessions, it does make sense that one would find the other. They are both making works out of what letters represent, whether it’s sounds or visual meaning. — Devin Wilger

Discussing music sell-outs View from the Cheap Seats is an extension of the newsroom, which is frequently a site of heated debate on topics ranging from the extremely serious to the utterly ridiculous. In addition to the views of our three regular columnists Thom Barker, Calvin Daniels and Randy Brenzen printed here, please visit yorktonthisweek.com for additional web exclusive content by Michaela Miller and Devin Wilger. This week: What musical artist(s) do you consider to be sellouts?

Changin’ times I couldn’t think of any egregious cases off the top of my head except maybe Bob Dylan and Cadillac so I decided to peruse some lists on the Internet. What I noticed is a lot of the artists, whom people list as sellouts can’t really be considered such. First of all, you have to have had integrity in the first place in order to sell out so bands like the Rolling Stones and KISS don’t count because they were always about the money. Secondly, selling your name or your brand for commercial gain is not in and of itself constitute selling out. Is there anything really wrong, for example, with U2 fronting for iPod? After all, how many U2 fans were already listening to the band’s music on their iPods? Finally, there is the ends justifying the means argument, such as Bob Geldof and his infamous razor blade peddling, which he did for African famine relief. It is an ageold question. Does motivation matter? Personally, my whole attitude toward the concept of selling out changed after Bruce Cockburn, my favourite artist of all time, got flak in 1991 for “selling out� because he signed with a big label (Columbia) and recorded his Nothing But A Burning Light album in the United States using American producer T-Bone Burnett and guest artists such as Jackson Browne. When pressed by a Canadian interviewer Bruce said something along the lines that he had devoted his life to the Canadian music

VIEW FROM THE CHEAP SEATS

industry, but wasn’t getting any younger and needed to make some money. Really, could anyone begrudge him that? Now, if Bruce started schilling for say, the oil industry, that could raise my eyebrow. I guess I keep coming back to Dylan because he was so counter-culture and considered so authentic. When songs intended to be anthems for social and political change, such as Times They Are A-Changin’, start getting used to promote big banks and insurance companies, you really do have to start questioning an artist’s integrity, however. After all, it was Dylan who once sang: “Advertising signs that con you/Into thinking you’re the one/That can do what’s never been done/That can win what’s never been won.� Then again, it’s not just times that change, so do people. -Thom Barker

Intrigued The idea of what band might be a sellout in my mind was intriguing. I of course recognize many people look at certain artists, in particular musicians, as selling out when they opt for popularity over the ‘art’ of their efforts. It is not something I see as particularly relevant in terms of what I listen too. It’s great to write music for the ‘sake of the music’ whatever that exactly means I suppose, but if it’s only the fly on the window pane, your mother and your best friend who hear it, you have not accomplished much of a ripple in the business. There are of course bands which create a ‘buzz’ by doing something weird, new, obscure, or strange, which captures the ear of a sort of underground crowd. Suddenly the band achieves some notoriety, and along comes a

recording exec who suggests a few tweaks to take the sound more mainstream and early listeners scream sellout. Meanwhile the artist recognizes a few things. A tweak, or two, and they are likely to have more ears listening. That is not generally a bad thing for an artist, to have more people following their work. And while some altruistic music listeners might not like to hear this, but there is the crass concept of money. Toiling in obscurity and living in the parent’s basement, practising in a garage, driving a beat up 1990 van to gigs where after the bar bill you have to take up a collection for gas home may have certain legendary charm, a seven-figure bank account is not to be sneezed at either. If a musician opts for popularity and money I cannot argue with the choice, nor do I resent the decision. You can always ‘net search for the next band nobody has heard of to feel good about your listening choices if that is important. In my case Garth Brooks, KISS, Bon Jovi and dozens more are just fine thanks.
