Regular legion meetings resumed on Sept. 12 after a summer break. Two new members, Tammy Slator and Shawn Williams, were initiated at the beginning of the meeting. Two new officers were installed; comrade Glenna Beauchamp resigned as branch chaplain during the summer and Warren Smallwood took her place. This left the sergeant-at-arms position open, which was filled by Dave Cluney. It was significant that comrade Smallwood received the red sash from comrade Bert Cluney which has now been passed to his son.

Earlier this year (Jan. 13) Municipal Waste Management Environmental (MWM) began collecting garbage and recycling in Rivers, Wheatland and Chimo. It was reported then that the company “supports the local economy,” said general manager Tim Oliver. “We’re not just going to pick carts and leave, we want to be involved in the community. We have a counter in the truck and every container we tip, five cents goes into the charity pot. A nickel doesn’t sound like a lot, but it adds up to say $300 every six months, all of which we give back to local groups, whether they are food banks or water parks.”
