KUZYK - It is with great sad-ness that we announce the loss of Alice Thelma Kuzyk who died peacefully in her sleep on June 23, 2015 in Calgary Alberta at 95 years of age. Alice was born Septem-ber 20, 1919 to Alexander and Pauline (Moroz) Wilgosh. They resided on a farm south of Stenen where Alice was raised with her siblings - four brothers: Laddie, Dan, Mike and Willie and sisters, Ann and Nellie. Alice attended Moss Lake School. She left home at twenty two years of

age to search for work in Windsor, Ontario. She gained employ-ment with an affluent family as a maid and governess. Windsor is also where she met her first husband, Mike Novakowski, who was from Rama, Saskatchewan. They came home for their wedding and were married in 1945. They resided in Stenen for a short while and then moved to Norquay. Alice decided to take a hairdressing course in Winnipeg so the couple relocated there for a year. They then returned to Norquay where Alice started hairdressing in the Norquay Hotel while Mike continued trucking. They soon built a home in Norquay on Main Street where Alice set up her shop. They were blessed with two daughters, Donal-da and Debra. Mike opened a Cockshutt Farm Equipment Deal-ership next door to their home. Tragically Mike was killed in a car accident in 1965. Alice continued to hairdress and raise her daughters. In 1970 she was remarried to John Kuzyk and they moved to his farm south of Norquay. They happily shared their lives together until John’s passing in 1990. Alice continued to live on her own in Norquay until January 2014 when she had a short stay at the Kamsack Lodge and then moved to Calgary in February to be close to her daughters. She resided at Beaver-dam Lodge for a year and was then moved to Southwood Care Centre where she continued to reside until her passing. Alice was a loving and compassionate woman who loved family, com-munity and church. She enjoyed entertaining and socializing. She especially liked playing cards, gardening, baking and cook-ing. Her greatest joy was seeing your plate empty at the dinner table. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. Alice has left behind her loving daughters: Donalda Cooper and Debra and (Clive) Kitto; her six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren: Tyler (Lori) Cooper and great-grandson Benja-min, Ryan (Christina) Cooper and great-grandsons, Jack and Levi, Jared Cooper, Jenelle Kitto (Jeremy Dow) and great-grandson, Kashus Kitto-Dow, Jauvonne Kitto (Nick Zuniga) and great-grandchildren, Thalia and Lucius Zuniga, and Jonathan (Magda) Kitto and great-granddaughter, Olive Kitto. She is also survived by her brother, Willie, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Vigil of Prayer was held on Thursday, July 2, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. Funeral Liturgy was celebrated on Friday, July 3, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. both from Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church, Norquay, SK with Rev. Fr. Ivan Derkach, as Celebrant. Rite of Committal followed in the Canora Cemetery. Those wish-ing to make expressions of sympathy may make donations to a Charity of Donor’s Choice, in memory of Alice Kuzyk. Family and friends unable to attend are invited to sign an on-line guest book for Alice at www.lesonsfuneralhome.ca. Arrangements were entrusted to LESON’S FUNERAL HOME, Canora.

NAHNYBIDA: Lena Nahnybi-da of Benito, Manitoba and formerly of Arran, Saskatche-wan passed away at the age of 86 years on June 27, 2015 at the Swan River Health Centre. A funeral service for Lena Nahnybida was held on Friday, July 3, 2015 from the All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Kamsack, Sas-katchewan. Interment fol-lowed at the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery south of Arran, Saskatche-wan. Lena (nee Berezowski) Nahnybida was born to Alex-

ander & Katherine Berezowski on March 21, 1929 in Arran, SK. She grew up and attended school in Arran. On July 17, 1948 at the tender age of 19, she married the love of her life, Jim Nahny-bida. They made their home on the farm north of Arran and later moved into town. Jim farmed and delivered mail and Lena took on the role of homemaker. Together they raised seven children: Elaine, Donald, Theresa, Terrence, William, Richard and James. Lena is survived by her seven children: Elaine (Don) Bazansky of Saskatoon, SK; Don (Zoria) Nahnybida of Greenwood, BC; Theresa (Henry) Panagabko of Regina, SK; Terry (Sandy) Nah-nybida of Kenville, MB; Bill (Lorna) Nahnybida of Swan River, MB; Rick Nahnybida (Michelle McKenzie) of Arran, SK; and Jim (Maria) Nahnybida of Kamsack, SK; 19 grandchildren: Gina (Tim) Parker, Angie (Erin) Dodd, Shawna (Michael) Kozun, Mi-chelle Bazansky (Jason LeDrew), Lisa (Rob) Hewitt, Audree (Tyler) Cornet, Blair (Lorette) Panagabko, Zane Nahnybida (Brandi Hinton), Ashley Nahnybida (Jayme Eggie), Krista Nah-nybida (Adrian Malley), Amanda (Jason) Jacobson, Steven Nah-nybida (Kirstin Fair), Ali Nahnybida (Andre Trudel), Jessalyn Nahnybida, Shayla & Taylor Romanyshyn, Zach Nahnybida (Jenna Bowes), Mitch Nahnybida, Mark Nahnybida (Sophia Thomas); 19 great-grandchildren: Mitch Dixon, Tyler Dodd, Mi-randa Dodd, Jacob Dodd, Brianna Dodd, Kassie Dodd, Dallas Dodd, Tanner Kozun, Samantha Kozun, Tessa Kozun, Kaden Bazansky, Abby Hewitt, Emma Cornet, Sam Cornet, Ben Cor-net, Cayden Nahnybida, Ataya Nahnybida, Shea Eggie & Emily Jacobson; her sister Victoria (John) Husak of Surrey, BC; and her brother John Berezowski of Squamish, BC. Lena was prede-ceased by her parents, Alexander & Katherine Berezowski; her husband, Jim Nahnybida; her sisters Mary Chorneyko, Anne Ba-tryn, Doris Woytkiw and Millie Kalanchy; her brothers Steve Berezowski, Michael Berezowski and Bill Berezowski. Lena en-joyed many pastimes including gardening and cooking. Her yard was adorned with flower pots and perennials and her garden overflowing with vegetables of all kinds. She took pride in pre-paring Ukrainian meals for her family and sharing the love of these traditions with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Whether she was slicing beets to make borscht, pinching dough to make perogies or stuffing jars with cucumbers to make pickles, you would always catch her with her Ukrainian apron on in the kitchen and a smile on her face. She was devot-ed to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and enjoyed helping her fellow ladies prepare the dishes for church functions. She en-joyed watching curling, whether it was on TV or at the Arran Curling Rink. Her greatest passion however, was her family. She took great pride in the accomplishments and prosperity of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Each one holds a very special place in her heart. She truly was the matriarch of the family, strong and resolute in body, mind, soul and spirit. She will be sadly missed by her family, friends and the community she so dearly loved. If friend’s so desire donations in Lena’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.Arrangements were entrusted to E. Andrychuk Funeral Home

When we’re in a hurry, signs like “Construction Zone Ahead” and “Workers Present” may seem like an inconvenience. However, as warmer summer months kick off the construction sea-son in Saskatchewan, drivers are urged to consider the true costs associated with speed-ing in work zones.

A record $842 million highways budget coupled with a short construction season means an abundance of work will take place on Saskatchewan roads and highways this summer. Con-

Police watching for aggressive drivers inwork zones this July

struction crews dedicated to improving our roads are depending on motorists to drive responsibly and keep them safe in work zones.

For that reason, Saskatch-ewan Government Insurance (SGI), Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure and pro-vincial law enforcement are partnering to make work zones the focus of July’s traffic safety spotlight. Po-lice will be paying particular attention to drivers speeding and demonstrating other ag-gressive driving behaviours, such as stunting, racing or

passing to the right on ahighway.

“Crews bui ld ing and repairing highways oftenwork near moving vehicles,so we need to ensure everyprecaution is taken so theycan work safely,” Highwaysand Infrastructure MinisterNancy Heppner said. “Ourministry has implemented anumber of safety measuresto protect them but ulti-mately it is up to the driversto follow the rules and payclose attention.”

Base fines for speeding in highway work zones aretriple that of a regular speed-ing ticket when workers arepresent. They start at $210and increase for each ad-ditional kilometre over theposted speed limit. New lawsenacted last summer mandatethat drivers face additionalpenalties when they’re travel-ling at 35 km/hr or more overthe posted speed limit.

“While the fi nancial costs are signifi cant, the real costsare impacts on human life,”Minister responsible for SGIDon McMorris said. “Ag-gressive driving in workzones not only puts motoristsand their vehicles at risk, italso needlessly endangersthe lives of workers and oth-er road users.”

Preliminary numbers for 2014 show there were 201collisions in work zones inSaskatchewan, resulting in48 injuries. In addition, 774people were convicted forspeeding in work zones. SGIand the Ministry of High-ways and Infrastructure re-mind motorists to exerciseboth patience and cautionin work zones, and followthese tips:

• Slow to 60 km/hr when passing highway workers,fl ag people or equipment oc-cupied by a worker, withinsigned work zones, or whenpassing equipment with am-ber warning lights on.

• Avoid distractions and be on alert for workers andother road hazards.

• Be proactive by becom-ing aware of potential workon your route beforehandand allow extra travel time toget to your destination.

• Remember that traffic rules and speed limits applyto both highway and munici-pal work zones, even whenworkers are not present.

• Some cities have by-laws requiring drivers toobey work zone speed limitsthrough the entire construc-tion area, so be familiar withthe bylaws in your area.

Work zone safety intro-duced in recent years in theprovince includes legal blackand white regulatory speedlimits, photo speed enforce-ment and increased signage.
