His survival story gave a sharper focus to why 152 riders and horses, trailers and trucks flooded the TL Bar Ranch, east of Trochu on Hwy. 585. A head-on collision left Ramsay near death in 2011. “It is so good to be alive today,” he said in his remarks at the rider recognition ceremony. “STARS is an incredible service and it’s possible because of your continued support. I would not be here if not for STARS. I hope you never need it, but it’s there if you do.” In addition to silent auction donations from nine communities, a poker rally and quilt raffle, riders from four years of age to 90 years of age participated. Organizers report $47,000 was realized by the day-long event. In its 29-year history, the ride has been responsible for $800,000 being raised for STARS. Rumsey’s 83-three-year-old Ernie Goddard for example, assembled nearly $9,000 in pledges. This Ride-athon has been going for 29 year and Goddard hasn’t missed one. Other top senior riders included Lynn Tanner and 90-year-old Marvin Donaghy. Between them, junior riders Rylee Jones, 11, Chesney Anderson, 6, and Easton Comte, 4, raised $6,669. Grazing ditches allowed Lacombe County approves use of ditches for livestock grazing In response to the dry conditions in the area, Lacombe County Council passed a motion at the August 9 Council meeting to temporarily allow the grazing of livestock in ditches. “The hot weather and lack of moisture have negatively impacted pastures in the County, and we want to support our agriculture producers by providing them with this option to feed their livestock,” said Reeve Paula Law. Lacombe County residents may use roadsides to graze for the remainder of the 2018 season under the following conditions: • The livestock owners will remain liable for any damage caused by livestock to: County roadsides, utility company infrastructure or damage to adjacent properties by livestock that are at large. • Livestock owners may fence roadsides adjacent to their own property, however, will need to get signed permission to fence roadsides adjacent to lands they do not own. • Fencing must be removed by October 1, 2018 • Owners that do not remove fencing may be charged for the cost of removal should the County need to remove it for their operations. • Subsequently, the County will not be liable for damage to temporary fencing that is caused by normal maintenance operations. • Due to higher traffic volumes and speeds, fencing adjacent to paved roads is prohibited. For more information on this, please contact: Paula Law, Reeve 403-348-1755 or Dion Burlock, Ag Fieldman, 403-782- 8959. “You can COUNT ON US for our commitment in providing exceptional service to you, our valued customers.” Robert Norton Castor, AB Office: 403-882-4271 Ag Solutions Feeding The Future It’s Time to Check Out...The Canadian The Canadian Farm and Ranch Benefits Plan Farm & Ranch Benefits Plan Operate a Farm or Ranch? • Prescription Drug Coverage (up to $50,000 per person per year) • Dental Coverage (up to $2,000 per person per year) • Out of Province/Country Travel Medical Emergency Coverage (up to 180 days per trip; no “pre-existing conditions” or “stability limitations”) • Guaranteed Coverage for farms and ranches with 3 or more qualified owners and employees. • Also available to operations as small as one person.
