The first quarter of the newly-formed Riverdale Municipality has come to pass. For those readers who have been out of the loop, Town of Rivers and RM of Daly officially amalgamated to become Riverdale Municipality as of Jan. 1 of this year. Future articles of history will speak of the last days of the incorporated Town of Rivers and the incorporated Municipality of Daly. Although neither entity holds any legal status following Dec. 31, 2014, Rivers will inevitably always be Rivers and Daly will most likely always be Daly in the minds of citizens of the day. For all corporate, legal, municipal, provincial and federal requirements, we are and will be, Riverdale Municipality.

Sometimes our self-esteem takes a beating. As 水果视频ns we are born with a strong work ethic and a 鈥済et it done鈥� attitude, but we鈥檙e not strong self-promoters. We go about our business, always do our best to help friends and neighbours in need, and we don鈥檛 think a whole lot about ourselves 鈥� as long as there鈥檚 a roof over our head, food on the table and our loved ones are in good health. We鈥檙e proud (but not boastful) of our families and communities and are always ready to share with people who we are and where our roots are planted. But when our identity is compromised by the actions of others 鈥� particularly government 鈥� creating uncertainty of who we are and where we stand, that is deeply hurtful. I can鈥檛 think of a time in recent memory where that was more apparent than during the process of municipal amalgamation.

The April 13 meeting of Rivers Legion was called to order by president Darryl Childerhose; 13 members were present. News was received that curling and eight ball were dropped from Legion sports at the dominion level because of changes in sponsorship. They will still continue locally and as far as provincial command, so there won鈥檛 be any major disruption at the local branch level.
