Trash, chains, bottles and a dog found in the ditch upsetting for resident

Dear Editor; I live northwest of town near Usona. Because of the distance from towns and large collections of people, sometimes individuals come down my road and hurl their garbage out into the ditch.

Dear Editor; My name is Zvika Anosh and I live with my family in the County of Ponoka. The designation of our property in the County of Ponoka is: SE 9-43-25-4.
