SWIDZINSKI - Mrs. Olga Swidzinski, resident of the Yorkton & District Nursing Home, beloved wife of the late Ted Swidzinski, passed away on Monday, September 12, 2016 at the age of 93 years. Olga was born in Sandy Lake, MB, to Veronika and Metro Zibchyn. Olga and her family eventually settled in the Brandon School District near Kamsack where she attended school and lived and worked for most of her life. In 1939, she married Mike Swerhun. They farmed and often spent winters in Toronto and Winnipeg, working and visiting relatives. After Mike’s passing in 1953, Olga moved to Toronto and worked in retail. She soon returned to her beloved prairies and “the fields of golden wheat”. She continued working in retail (Metropolitan, Woolworths) in both Saskatoon and Yorkton. Olga married Ted in 1955. Together they built and expanded a successful farming operation. They raised three children in the close-knit farming community where Olga spent many happy hours socializing with friends and neighbours in their homes and at dances, sports days, card parties and the highway store. She was very involved with the Brandon School Community Centre. Olga grew up in a musical family and played several instruments by ear, including the mandolin and harmonica. She loved listening to music and had a rich and varied record collection. Her children still listen to and enjoy the music she introduced them to. And oh how she loved to dance! Olga is remembered for her joyful laugh, quick wit and sense of humour. She had a way with words and entertained all with vivid stories of her life. She also had a keen interest in politics and enjoyed discussing current events. Olga was an excellent cook. No one would go hungry on her watch, feasting on her delicious food, much of it made with ingredients from her large garden. Her perogies and pickles are spoken of reverently by those lucky enough to have sampled them. Most important to Olga was her family. Her devotion, hard work and giving spirit ensured that her parents, siblings, husband and children were well taken care of and supported in times of need. When grandchildren and great-grandchildren arrived on the scene she delighted in spending time with them and hearing about their adventures in the world. Upon retirement, Olga and Ted moved to Yorkton. The farm was still near and dear to them and they continued to spend summers there, enjoying many visits from their children and grandchildren. Olga was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Ted; her parents, Metro and Veronika (Romanchuk) Zibchyn; brothers Pete and Len and sister Marie (Flodstedt); Mike Swerhun and brothers-in-law, Russ Flodstedt and Fred Naboznak. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Melanie (Harold) Malayney of Cold Lake, Marlene of Vancouver, Thad (Crystal) of Yorkton; five grandchildren, Matthew and Chris Malayney, Danica Lescano, Claire and Addison Swidzinski; two great-grandchildren, Mia and Brayden Lescano; sister-in-law, Eileen Naboznak; and nephews and nieces Len, Debra, Bruce, Fay, Barbara and David. Olga’s smile would light up a room. Her strong, youthful spirit and kindness inspired us all. She was much loved and will never be forgotten. The funeral service was held on Saturday, September 17, 2016 from the Yorkton Memorial Gardens Family Centre with Rev. Jen Dresser of St. Andrew’s United Church officiating. Danica Lescano read scripture and Crystal Swidzinski gave the eulogy. Pianist, Amanda Buhler led the congregation in the hymn ‘Lord of the Dance’ and sang ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ as the recessional. The processional hymn was ‘Somewhere My Love’. The interment followed in the Yorkton City Cemetery with Matthew & Christopher Malayney, Garry Tetoff, Myron Tatarniuk, Brent Cherkas and Bruce Flodsedt serving as the casket bearers.

SOBKOW - Mr. Bill Sobkow of the Calder district, beloved husband of Erna Sobkow, passed away suddenly at his home on September 14, 2016. He was 70 years of age. William Anthony Sobkow was born in Yorkton, SK on June 17, 1946. He was raised on the Sobkow family homestead. He attended Calder School, and later, St. Joseph’s College in Yorkton. As young boys, Bill and his brother Steve, spent hours playing baseball on the diamond they had built in their pasture. The highlight of getting a yard light on the farm was the ability to now play ball at night. And that’s how it all beganthis lifelong passion for baseball. As a 16 year old lefty, Bill pitched three shut-out innings against Satchel Paige’s touring Colored All Star Team. The following year he was named Rookie of the Year in the Saskatchewan Major Baseball League (SMBL). In 1964, Bill received a baseball scholarship to Fresno State University in California, where he earned his BA and Bed degrees. He returned home for the summers to play for the Yorkton Cardinals, who in 1967, won the SMBL championship. Following university, Bill worked briefly in Montreal. He then worked as a car salesman and as a sports broadcaster in Lloydminster, SK. This is where he met Erna. Bill’s love for the land brought him back home to Calder where he farmed and raised cattle with his father Tony and his brother Steve. Currently, he was farming with his son, Philip. Bill and Phil had daily conversations discussing farming, life and sports. They talked especially about baseball, a passion that Bill would pass down to Phil. Bill was immensely proud of Philip when he was drafted and signed by Bill’s favourite team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. This passion and love for the game led Bill to coach and mentor Philip, Phil’s friends and countless others. In 2002, he would recreate the Yorkton Cardinals in the Western Major Baseball League (WMBL) as the team we know today. As Head Coach and General Manager, he had a reputation for fairness, for treating everyone with respect and for giving everyone a chance. He was known for lobbying passionately for the principles in which he believed. Bill spent countless hours every winter scouting and searching for the next group of young men who would make up the Yorkton Cardinals. In his younger years, winters found Bill at the curling rink. In 1973, he curled in the Northern Alberta final. Upon moving to Yorkton, Bill spent many years curling in and winning major bonspiels throughout the province. He was a role model and a mentor to the young curlers. Bill loved to be involved. He played fastball for the Calder Comets, was an umpire and owned a sports card shop, The Dugout. He was on the Calder Credit Union Board and spent many years as President of the Calder Recreation Board. Currently, he was the Secretary-Treasurer of St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Calder and the President of the PK Bingo Association in Yorkton. Bill was a kind and gentle soul, finding nothing but the good in every single person that crossed his path. He had such love for his family. He was so proud and supportive of his children and grandchildren and absolutely adored Erna. He spent countless hours with his children, teaching them all the important lessons of life, including learning the names of all the major league baseball team stadiums! He loved giving them geography quizzes and teaching them a daily word in Ukrainian. He loved to dance with Erna and to brag about her excellent culinary skills. He was predeceased by his father Tony in 1993 and by his mother Anne (Mostoway) in 2010. Left to cherish his memories and to celebrate his life are his wife Erna (Warkentin); his daughter Erin (Darren Bolme), Melissa, Elia, Zoe and Kale; his daughter Raegan (Alex George), Milo and Uma; his daughter Nancy; his son Philip (Chelsea Todd); his brother Steve (Sharon Romaniuk) and many, many relatives and friends. The Prayer Service was held on Monday, September 19, 2016 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Yorkton with Very Rev. Bohdan Lukie and Rev. Methodius Kushko officiating. The responses were lead by Lorne Stecyshyn and parish choir members. The Funeral Liturgy was celebrated on Tuesday, September 20, 2016 at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Calder with Very Rev. Bohdan Lukie, C.Ss.R. as the Celebrant. The cross bearer was Andrea Sobkow (niece) and the epistle readers were (granddaughters) Elia Bolme & Zoe Bolme.
