Gladstone Aquatic Centre opens

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

It just wouldn’t feel like summer without a pool party. Fortunately, the community of Gladstone is bringing that sense of fun back into town with its newest attraction.

Community officials and local residents recently celebrated the completion of the new Aquatic Centre, which officially opened on Saturday, Aug. 12, with a ribbon cutting ceremony and first dive into the pool.

Total list of Results Along with all the show photos can be viewed on the Facebook page or at. https://mbyouthbeefroundup.weebly.com

More results will appear in the next edition of the Banner & Press.

The official name of the facility will be the Legion Gladstone Aquatic Centre, as the Royal Canadian Legion #10 donated $50,000 to assist with completion of the project. That has given them the naming rights to the facility for the next five years. The project was further powered forward with a grant of $300,000 from the Province’s Building Sustainable Communities Program, which covered just over half the total cost. The rest was covered by the Municipality, as well as many donations from local businesses and individuals.

The new swimming facility was first announced back in 2021. Its layout includes the new pool, as well as a lazy river, mushroom sprinkler, waterslide and green space with tables and other additional seating near the pool.

A community pulling together Mayor and head of council for the Municipality of Westlake-Gladstone Daryl Shipman was one of the many dignitaries on hand for the opening ceremony. After cutting the ribbon, he noted to the Banner & Press that this has been a day everyone around the region have been looking forward to.

“It’s been great for the community. Some great work from all the com - munity groups and many individuals that have been supporting [the project], with their donations and stuff. And, everyone has been so eager to see it open, so it’s been just a great way to pull the community together,” said Shipman.

As well, Shipman emphasized that this should not be looked at as just “Glad- stone’s pool”. He stressed this is a facility for the whole municipality to enjoy.

“We hope that Plumas, Langruth, Westbourne and all the other surrounding communities will enjoy the pool, just as much we will,” said Shipman.

Once the doors were opened, the pool was quickly put to use, as families flocked to the Aquatic Centre to enjoy their day. Shipman noted that it’s already doing exactly what it was meant to do, offer family fun close to home.

Obituary

Adolph Edward Melnyk

Adolph Edward Melnyk of Arden, MB passed away on August 3rd, 2023 at Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, at the age of 80 years.

Adolph was born at home in the RM of Rossburn to parents, Nicholas and Daisy Melnyk (nee Bilawka) on 17 June 1943. He was the oldest of three children. He attended Glen Elmo elementary, Yorkton Academy and Rossburn Collegiate.

In 1961, Adolph met Elizabeth (Liz), the love of his life, while attending Rossburn Collegiate. They were engaged in 1964 and were married on November 6th, 1965. After their marriage, they lived at the teacherage at Lima School, where Liz was teaching, while Adolph farmed and worked at the Esterhazy potash mine. In 1968, they moved to the farm to work alongside Adolph’s brother, Matt.

In 1970, they welcomed their first of three boys, Rob. Ron was born in 1972 and Calvin completed the family in 1975.

In 1980, Adolph started his backhoe and gravel business, as well as driving the school bus. In 1997, after selling the farm, Adolph and Liz moved closer to Rossburn where he continued his business until deciding to retire in 2012.

In 2013, they moved to an acreage in Eden and most recently, moved to a smaller acreage and larger garden in Arden in 2022.

Adolph had many hobbies and passions. He obtained his pilots license in 1975 and shortly afterwards, purchased his first of three airplanes. Adolph was an avid outdoorsman, he loved fishing, hunting, camping and had a passion for cutting limitless amounts of firewood. He enjoyed spending time with family, especially time spent with his seven grandchildren. Adolph had many pets along the way, his favourite being a golden laborador, named Tober. After retirement, Adolph enjoyed gardening alongside Liz, picking saskatoons or mushrooms and also playing cards around the kitchen table.

Adolph was predeceased by his parents, Nicholas and Daisy, In-laws, Matt and Nettie and his two brothers, Matt and Zenith (Paul).

Adolph is survived by his wife of 57 years, Elizabeth, his three sons Rob (Cecile); Ronald (Tammy) and Calvin (Clare) and seven grandchildren, Christopher, Amy, Zachary, Owen, Neil, Rheanna, and Jill.

The funeral service was held Tuesday, 08 August 2023 at Sacred Heart of Jesus Ukrainian Catholic Church in Rossburn, MB. Father Ivan officiating. Interment followed at the Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery, in the RM of Rossburn.

Pallbearers were Christopher Melnyk, Zachary Melnyk, Rheanna Melnyk, Rick Melnyk, Pat Kaniuga and Jordan Sawchuk. Cross bearer was Amy Melnyk. All in attendance were considered honorary pallbearers. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Adolph’s name at the Heart and Stroke foundation.
