Teams take local boy to the end zone
Logan Tonge gets to
play ‘real football’ at
Leibel Field
MICHELLE NICHOLSOn
With special thanks to Natasha Phillipson
W
ith ten seconds left in the final game of the season, the Canadians and the Griffins football teams
decided to make them memorable.
With some pre-planning, Mark Sulymka, head coach of
the Griffins and Coach Rob Palmarin of the Canadians, both
Atom division teams, worked it out that Logan Tonge, a local
boy would don a jersey and run a touchdown, with a little
help from his friends.
On the gridiron, Saturday, September 26 at Regina’s
Leibel Field, players from both teams surrounded Tonge’s
wheelchair and with Coach Sulymka pushing, helped Tonge
travel to the end zone for a touchdown.
“Immediately Rob, his first comment was ‘well we gotta
get the boy the ball,” Sulymka said, “with about that 10 second marker left in the game when we were up and we had
possession, we were just going to take a knee.”
Sulymka took a time out and went over and talked to Palmarin. Logan didn’t know he was going to be in the game.
“The rest is history. It’s on everybody’s social media and
it’s really taken off. But it is a very, very nice story and I’m
very proud to be part of it,” Sulymka said.
Video of the moment will bring a tear to the eye. It is
no wonder the story has been picked up by several media
outlets and is gaining traction on social media.
A grade six student of École White City school, Logan
Tonge is known in the community. At this year’s Skate-4Smiles event, he and sister Allie Smith were the duo who
raised the second largest amount of pledges. Krista Smith,
Logan’s mom, indicated Logan and his sister were among
the top fundraisers for several years.
His wheelchair does not confine him or dictate his impact
in the community.
“I think partly it’s Logan because he does draws people
in,” said Smith, “but I think just being part of a small community. Everybody has that sense of community and inclusion.”
She said the community has been “warm and welcoming”
since the family moved to White City when Logan started
kindergarten. She told of how her boy loves to be part of
everything going on from fundraisers to functions and the
community has been open to including and accommodating
him.
Smith said Logan was out to watch a game a couple of
weeks ago and Coach Sulymka saw how much fun the boy
had on the sidelines.
“Logan wanted to go alone with his friends,” Smith said
of the Saturday game. While she knew he’d be at the game,
she – like her son, didn’t know he would be running the

last play.
“I played real football,” Logan told her of the experience.
“He means real as in not on the playground, not in the backyard but on a field. He was telling me how loud it was and
people were cheering,” Smith said.
“He loved every minute of it,” she said. Smith said TSN/
CTV is coming to file a story with Logan and other players
at the École White City School football field.
Logan and the team will be given the Athlete of the Week
award.
“In addition to acknowledging Logan the whole team is
getting this award. I think it’s so justified because the boys
have been so wonderful through all of this and they were so
welcoming and accepting of Logan,” Sulymka said.
“I think it’s so neat, too. It’s about Logan, but yet it’s also
not,” Smith shared, “Because I was talking to him this morning, too and asked ‘why do you think people like this story?’
and his words were: ‘well, it’s because sometimes other
kids don’t always include kids in wheelchairs.’ We’re most
excited, not really that he’s in the paper and those kind of
things, but of course we’re just passionate about getting kids
involved, kids with disabilities, getting them off the sidelines, getting them playing and playing with their friends
instead of just watching.”

Damage from vandalism done at 108 Lewis Street in Balgonie Sunday, September 20. Photo: Michelle Nicholson
MICHELLE NICHOLSOn
A
dryan Toth is a Balgonie boy through and through.
He was raised in Town and after completing his
university education to become a lawyer, chose to
purchase a home in the community.
This should be the beginning of a great “local boy
does good” story with a happy ending. It is not.
Security cameras caught two people suited up in
hoodies, work boots, hats, masks and gloves and wearing backpacks vandalizing his home at 108 Lewis street
in Balgonie on Sunday, September 20.
His house, his vehicle were tagged with NS symbols.
His deck and driveway had used engine oil and solvent
dumped on them, some used oil also slopped over the
hood of his Jeep.
Toth lives alone and was not at home at the time of
the attack.
“I just checked my security camera remotely from
Calgary and noticed that my Jeep seemed to have spray
paint on it,” Toth said, “at that point I called my family
and they knew some people out in Balgonie as well who
then came out and took some picures of it and said it’s
actually a lot worse than what I could see through the
camera.” Toth has spoken to the police and the gang unit with
Regina Police Service and they indicated the NS symbols
painted are not the moniker of the local Native Syndicate gang and Toth, in his role as a lawyer, is not currently defending anyone with gang affiliations.
Sadly, this is not the first incident of vandalism at
Toth’s home.
About a year ago, one of his lights was smashed out
and a tire was slashed. Police advised him to set up
security cameras. Those cameras captured the Sunday
morning hit.
Due to recent events, he is nervous to stay alone in
his home. For now, he is staying with a relative in the
City. The insurance adjuster is expected to visit and the
vehicle has to be taken to SGI so Toth could not give
accurate damage cost estimates.
“The spray paint and stuff like that is one thing, I
don’t know if you can paint over top of it or what. But
the major damage is to the driveway and to the deck
because the type of material they used is a corrosive
solvent on the asphalt which eats it up. We called some
asphalt people and they said once that gets in there, it
just chips up,” explained Toth.
Toth posted pictures of the damage done on social
media and has indicated the outpouring of support has
encouraged him.
“It’s turned me back on to the Town that I love and
hopefully they can bring the perpetrators to justice
and find them with the amount of how widely this has
spread, maybe somebody will say something. I personally don’t want to leave the community. I love it there.
But at the end of the day, I need to be safe,” Toth said.
White Butte RCMP confirmed they did receive a
complaint and have assigned a member to investigate
the matter.
Anyone with information about this incident is
encouraged to contact White Butte detachment at
306-781-5050. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477
(TIPS). If your information leads to an arrest, or a case
being cleared, you may be eligible for a cash award up
to $2,000.
Story update: Toth has received one quote to repair
the damage to the driveway for a cost of $5,500. He will
be speaking with an adjuster at SGI on Friday, October 2
about the vehicle which was vandalized and still has no
word on the cost to repair damages to the house.

Balgonie firefighter returns with stories
from CFFF event in Ottawa
MICHELLE NICHOLSOn
Y
ou might have caught sight of Balgonie Fire Department’s Deputy Fire Chief Doug Lapchuk on the national news a few weeks ago.
Lapchuk along with his wife Brenda, and several other
volunteer firefighters from across the province, were in Ottawa September 10 through September 14. They were there
to perform their duties as members of the honourary host
province committee during the Canadian Fallen Firefighters
Foundation memorial event.
The annual event pays tribute to over 1,200 firefighters who have lost their lives serving Canada and each year
additional names of the fallen are added to the wall at the
national Canadian Firefighters Memorial as part of the
remembrance.
This year, eleven firefighters were honoured.
One of the firefighters died in the line of duty, a few
passed away after battling recognized cancers from the job
and others were killed responding to calls, Lapchuk detailed.
“We were out there from nine in the morning until after
11 when the ceremony finished, without shelter,” Laphcuk
said of the sheeting rain, which fell Sunday, September 13,
“everything except my socks was wet.”
Lapchuk was part of the headdress party who marched in
with the helmets, presented those helmets to the families of
the fallen and then presented medallions to the next family
in line.
“My responsibility was to present my family, the Hofland
family out of Innisfil, Ontario with a helmet in recognition of
the loss of their husband and father,” Lapchuk said.
Firefighter Craig Hofland passed away in 2012 and left
behind a wife, a daughter and a grandchild.
Hofland spent twenty years as a volunteer firefighter
“before going full-time for another fourteen years,” the
event program states. He passed away from a work related
illness.
“…pancreatic cancer which is a recognized cancer from
fire service,” Lapchuk said.
“After I presented the helmet I wanted to talk to the family,” Lapchuk said of the memory that has stuck with him. He
wanted to explain in order to get through the sombre service why he had stared at the widow’s shoulder during the
helmet presentation. He got his chance after the ceremony.
“She looked up to me and she says: ‘You know what,
Doug? It wouldn’t have mattered ‘cause I didn’t hear a word
you said. I was so busy crying and being overwhelmed that
it didn’t...” Lapchuk stopped, overcome in the retelling, “that
she didn’t hear what I said. She said: ‘All I know is you came
up, you gave me a helmet and you were gone.” Lapchuk said
the exchange with Hofland’s widow Patricia, ended with a
big hug.
As members of the Saskatchewan host committee, the
team was responsible to shuttle families around to locations
across the city and to official events, host the hospitality
room, act as honour guards at the chapel and the dinner,
complete duties during the memorial service and finally get
the families back to the airport to make their treks home.
“It isn’t a party for the host committee,” Lapchuk said,
“we landed at 2:30 in the afternoon Ottawa time on Thursday and we quit being busy Sunday night about two in the
morning.”
Lapchuk has plans to promote the memorial when and
where he can and wants to take more members of his family
to the event next year. He is also hoping to get Paul Matt’s
name added to the memorial. Matt served on the Balgonie
Fire Department and died of pancreatic cancer.
“I’d like to see him memorialized. As well as everybody
else who has passed from our department. We’ve got a lot
of names, regrettably, a lot of names, of members who have
answered their last call,” said Lapchuk.
“If you ever have the opportunity [to attend the memorial
event] it will absolutely blow you right out of the water,”
Lapchuk said.
Of the two specially designed Rider firefighter helmets
raffled off to raise funds for the firefighters to get to Ottawa,
Deputy Fire Chief Bill Stone from Balgonie won the green
helmet.
“We’re still selling coins to off-set the cost,” Lapchuk said
of the $78,000 needed to send the group of firefighters to
Ottawa. Those interested in supporting the firefighters and

#SpiderMable
KELLY CLEMMER, STAR NEWS EDITOR IN CHIEF
E
arlier this week, the Captain of the Edmonton Oilers was
fake kidnapped by the evil villian Mysterio, only to be
saved by Spiderman and his new partner, Spider Mable.
Spider Mable, a six year old girl with Leukemia, got her
wish granted, through the Make a Wish Foundation to fight
crime. First she met with Spiderman, met with the Mayor of
Edmonton, the Police Chef, then zip lined across the waterpark in West Edmonton Mall with Spidey to save hero Black
Cat. Afterwards she went to the Edmonton Valley Zoo to free
Ference from the clutches of Mysterio...
All in a day’s work for Spider Mable.
The story broke worldwide, and went viral as this six
year old girl was able to save the day, and fulfill her wish.
The amazing thing is, how many people were able to make
this wish come true. From the Mayor of Edmonton to the
Edmonton City Police Chief to Andrew Ference, and the
hundreds of people in between to make this happen.
It’s this type of story that renews our faith in our humanity. Yes, we’re ignorant of much, ignore other things that are
distastful, but that’s who we are as humans. What we also
are is caring and amazing group of humans that made sure
that this six year old Mable got to live out her Wish to fight
crime and become Spider Mable.
On a smaller scale, what the coaches did for Logan Tonge,
shows that with a little pre-planning and a good heart, you
can change the world, one small action at a time.
Who could ask for anything more?
Water on Mars
PETER HOLMES, Star Contributor
T
here is liquid water on Mars. NASA announced that
they have concrete photo evidence of seasonal melting
of liquid water on the Martian surface last week. This
is not historical evidence that there used to be water there
a long time ago but game changing proof that water exists
seasonally on Mars.
That water is likely super salty and evaporates relatively
quickly but the fact that it exists has caused many scientists
to rethink their ideas about Mars and our solar system as a
whole.
There is even a theory that microbial life may have started
on Mars 3-4 billion years ago and transferred to earth
from martian rocks launched into space by meteor impacts
on Mars. Over 130 meteorites found on Earth have been
identified as martian, so it is a possibility, although a remote
one.
This discovery is great news for Martian scientists and
should boost Mars mission funding. The current rover is too
far away from the liquid water discovery site to visit it so
another rover in the near future may be necessary. Mars is by
no means Earth 2.0 but the knowledge we gain by exploring
it will be immensely valuable.
A big part of the value of exploring mars is that it is difficult.
And difficult challenges breed ingenuity and practical problem
solving not possible when simply theorizing. If humans are to
one day leave Earth and explore the galaxy baby steps are
necessary.

ell, it’s finally official. The Toronto
Blue Jays are American League East
champions!
We’ve waited a long time to hear those
words, and it has finally come true.
It has been a long, long 22 year wait, but the
playoffs are now just around the corner. As the
Jays try to hold on to top spot in the American
League through the final handful of regular
season games, us fans can start looking ahead
to Thursday’s ALDS opener.
David Price won’t touch the mound until
that day. The best we can assume, the playoff
rotation has to be Price, Marcus Stroman, R.A.
Dickey and Marco Estrada.

Jays fans have to have a ton of confidence

Another important piece of the playoff
puzzle will be the return of Troy Tulowitzki,
who will hopefully be able to get in a regular
season game before they’re done and gone.
After Tulo suffered deep bruising and a cracked
shoulder blade, the Jays have managed to hold
down the fort in his absence. But the return to
the diamond for the best shortstop in baseball
will undoubtedly be a huge boost for the boys
in blue.
If the Jays hold on to top spot in the AL, we’ll
face the winner of the ridiculous single game
elimination between the two Wildcard teams.
That means probably the New York Yankees.
What a sight that will be to see the Jays and
Yankees lock horns in the postseason.

New drama studio opens in White City
Hansford said she sees the
academy as “an alternative to
sports,” for those kids not necessarily sports-inclined.
The academy works with
kids aged five through 12.
Classes include warm up activities, speech work, mimes to
music, short scripted pieces and
creative improvisations. There
are three semesters of 12 weeks
each in an academy year.
Youngsters will be giving
friends, family and the community an opportunity to see
them shine in upcoming performances.
MICHELLE NICHOLSOn
A
lready over 30 local children have signed up for
the Helen O’ Grady Drama
Academy. The internationally
recognized program features a
curriculum developed over 35
years. Two local women, Melissa Hansford and Carol Johnson, who opened the academy
franchise in Regina and White
City are from Balgonie. This is
the third franchise to open in
Canada.
“We’ve had an amazing
response out here so far,” said
Hansford.

Why is the government wasting 1.8 Billion Dollars on an
outdated, dysfunctional, expensive, dead end Bypass in
city limits, that will only reroute 10% of the truck traffic
South around the city? This will not solve the truck traffic
congestion coming into the city. Who Benefits? A North
Bypass from Balgonie could save 1 Billion Dollars and be
90% functional.

ith the White Butte RCMP detachment
now up to full staff compliment, there is
an opportunity for the policing agency to
do some community outreach.
Constable Erin McLeod has taken on the role of
school resource officer for the detachment and has
been meeting with area school leaders.
“We’re working on what the schools would
like to see right now,” said Constable McLeod, “so
we’re starting there. For instance we go as far as
Belle Plaine. The Belle Plaine colony might have
different needs than Stewart Nicks School.”
She said she is learning from school administrators what their needs are, whether that is
online safety talks, to chats about bullying, establishing school patrols or other top-of-mind issues
based on the “dynamics of their school.”
“[At] Greenall [High School], they’re very
interested in keeping their kids safe to and from
school on the roadways that take them to their
school,” McLeod said.
With École White City School and Emerald Ridge Elementary School, McLeod has been
involved in discussions about getting kids walking
and riding bikes to school and doing it safely. This
is further to the Saskatchewan In Motion directive to engage communities in travel planning to
make the walk to and from school safe, something
school administrators and Town staff have had
meetings about.
“That’s bringing people in the community
together to work towards a better way for the kids
to get to school. [Using] more physical activity to
get to school,” she said.
McLeod says her door is always open. School
staff, parents and members of Student Community Councils can help McLeod in her role by letting her know of school events and opportunities
where she and they can connect.
McLeod will be in the role until June of 2016,
getting the program up-and-running, before hand-
9
ing it off the next RCMP member to take on the
position.
The White Butte RCMP detachment serves the
White Butte region and east to Mclean. To the
west they cover the Belle Plaine/Stoney Beach
area, south to Rowatt on Highway 6, and north
to the Condie Nature Refuge. To the northeast,
detachment members cover the Village of Edenwold and the border of Piapot and Muscowpetung
First Nations land, and in the southeast the communities of Kronau and Lajord.

Group given ‘less than enthusiastic’
response in meeting with Community
Planning about care home
MICHELLE NICHOLSOn
R
ight now, a rezoning application from the RM of Edenwold is in process with Community Planning, an arm
of the Ministry of Government Relations.
For over a year, several concerned Emerald Park citizens
have met together, attended open houses and public meetings put on by the Rural Municipality (RM) of Edenwold and
worked to gather 300 signatures on a petition to have a care
home development scrapped.
A core group of those opposed to the care home has
done their due diligence, reviewing zoning bylaws on the
RM’s website and finding what they believe to be 10 points
of conflict between the RM’s Official Community Plan and
the proposed development. The information the group has
gathered fills folders and binders.
July 7, six of those concerned residents attended a meeting with Director of Community Planning with Government
Relations, Barry Braitman and Municipal Advisor with Government Relations, Colleen Christopherson.
Trish Bezborotko, a resident of Emerald Park, was one of
the residents in attendance at the July meeting. She said the
response from Ministry representatives was less than enthusiastic.
The residents detailed concerns about the development,
concerns raised at various council meetings, public hearings,
open houses and discussed with RM council, staff and Division Four Councillor for the RM, Lorne Beer.
Recently, the Government of Saskatchewan reversed
their decision on a contentious plan to divert fresh water
from Kutawagan Creek away from Quill Lake to Last Mountain Lake.
Even though that issue involved the Water Security
Agency, Bezborotko finds it interesting a response from 500
people, provincially, swayed a decision in favour of ratepayers when 300 signatures on a petition from one small community doesn’t seemingly carry the same impact.
“We’ve delivered 300 signatures that have said ‘we don’t
want this facility in our backyard. It’s not what we moved
out here for and it doesn’t make sense to build it there,’ and
we’re being basically told: ‘well that’s too bad. You elected
your council so you’re going to have to go talk to them.’ And
council has unanimously voted to move this forward at all
three readings,” Bezborotko said of the discussion with Community Planning representatives.
“The RM of Edenwold No. 158 submission to change its
zoning bylaw to accommodate a care home in Emerald Park
is under discussion with the Ministry of Government Relations, as part of the province’s regular bylaw review process.
As per the Ministry’s regular practice, it would be premature
to comment at this time until a decision is made about the
zoning bylaw amendment.
“Annually, the Ministry of Government Relations reviews
more than 300 bylaw amendments from across Saskatchewan,” the Ministry of Government Relations wrote in an
emailed statement.
In March of last year, on land known as parcel F and
parcel L, adjacent to the Aspen Links golf course and Aspen
Village Drive, a proposal was brought forward for an 80
unit, two-story care home and a 50 unit, four-story apartment building.
While the apartment building has been taken off the
table, the care home was given third reading in council
chambers August 11 and the zoning application was forwarded to Community Planning for review.
“We feel in many ways this is good for the community...
the fact is this is a slight rezoning change. The fact is it is
a high-density area that would’ve accommodated condos
or apartment blocks. For that reason, this a slight change.
And compare [this] with William Albert House, [which]
we feel is a great asset for the community. We expect in the
long-term this will be not the same, but similar,” RM Reeve
Mitchell Huber said at the June 9 council meeting when the
care home was given second reading.
Aside from William Albert House, an existing care home
that would sit adjacent to the new care home (home to some
residents who also signed the petition), the area is mostly
home to single-family residences.
Bezborotko and others have stated they were led to
believe when they purchased lots on which to build the area
would continue to be more of the same. Zoning for the area
is currently R2 High Density Residential District. The RM
is asking for rezoning to CS – Community Service Contract
District, to accommodate the care home.
The group recognizes the need for care home facilities in
the area and in the province. They do wonder why the care
home could not be built in the proposed White City town
centre, something Bezborotko said the Town is more than
willing to accommodate.
“Clearly we’re not being listened to,” Bezborotko said,
“the people that elected our council and also the province,
the provincial government, they’re not interested. They’re
not listening. They don’t want to hear what we have to say
about it, as the people who are paying the large amount of
the tax base out here. That’s very, very concerning to me. I
think that’s actually more concerning to me than the facility
being built across the street. I’ve learned something through
this process; that we’re not living in a democracy if this is
the way things are going to go. I mean, clearly nobody is
interested in what the residents have to say otherwise they
would’ve listened and tried to work something out with us.”

RiderInsider
F
or the rest of the CFL, it appears to
be a big “Uh Oh”. The Saskatchewan
Roughriders appear to have woken up.
In their best performance of the season to
date, the Green & White kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 33-21 home victory
over the Montreal Alouettes Sunday afternoon before 30,843 fans at Mosaic Stadium.
And almost immediately, the victory had
the Rider Nation buzzing. It was the #1
topic on coffee row Monday morning: “So
what has to happen for the Riders to make
the playoffs?” The truth is, a lot. The odds
are far greater that the Roughriders will
miss the playoffs for the first time since 2011
because, according to CFL official statistician Steve Daniel, the Riders have to win
all of their remaining five games and hope
the Bombers, Lions, and Alouettes continue
to lose.
But remarkably, it could happen. And
things have finally started to turn for Saskatchewan and the only question that
remains is: have they left it too late?
If you’re around the team every day, it’s
impossible not to notice that this is a totally
different football team than the one which
started the season 0-9 and caused the firings of head coach Corey Chamblin and GM
Brendan Taman. Their replacements, Bob
Dyce and Jeremy O’Day both on the interim,
are working in concert to change the mindset of their locker room.
It’s subtle things, like changing the practice techniques and leaving the roster alone,
for the most part. Sunday’s game was the
first time all season that there were no
changes to the roster from the week before.
Lack of injuries played a part in this, but the
reluctance to tinker with the lineup seems to
have instilled a renewed sense of confidence
amongst the players.
In Sunday’s game, the Riders led 6-0 after
their first possession and never relinquished

CROSSWORD

“It’s a different mentally now,” revealed
quarterback Kevin Glenn who tossed for
212 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s
game. “We have a lot of the same guys but
sprinkled in some new guys, like Naaman
Roosevelt, but for the most part, we had a
good team early on and weren’t getting the
breaks and weren’t doing the right things
early. But it’s a different mindset now. You
can credit the coaches and the guys, but
everyone is coming together.”
Glenn’s right. Roosevelt is one of a handful of American rookies on this team that
bided his time on the practice roster in the
first half but is now making the most of his
playing time on a club that is well below
.500. The Buffalo product and former NFL’er
led the team in receiving Sunday with three
catches for 68 yards.
Ditto for offensive tackle Jermarcus
Hardrick and defensive tackle Andre “Juicy”
Monroe who’ve been starting since the
coaching change and have displayed unending hustle in practice and in games.
All it took was one win in another mustwin game for the Roughriders to be infused
with glowing optimism. The veterans have
shone a positive light on things as well,
including defensive end John Chick who
delivered a passionate pregame speech to
his team. It seemed to have provided the
necessary inspiration.
Is there a miracle finish in store for
Canada’s Team?
“That’s our plan,” Bob Dyce chuckled in
his postgame news conference. “It’s funny,
I’ve let certain players talk to the team
at certain points. John Chick asked me if
he could talk to the team and he had an
important message. He said he has nothing
but belief in this team and we need to keep
fighting and see where the cards fall.”
You can’t turn your back on the Roughriders now.
It appears the fun has just begun.

2 BILLION DOLLARS
YOUR Tax Dollars YOUR Money YOUR Tax Dollars YOUR Money YOUR Tax Dollars YOUR Money YOUR Tax Dollars
The plan by our elected officials to spend
2 billion dollars on an ill-conceived
‘Bypass’ that, according to the 2012
Government study, will only take 15%
of the truck traffic away from East
Regina is NOT the best our tax dollars
can buy. Why should we settle for a
‘New Ring Road’ that will be located at
the intersection of the latest shopping
complex and run well within city limits?
The Government plan includes a
complicated ‘Diverging Diamond
interchange’ at Pilot Butte, the first such
interchange in Canada. This interchange
relies on 2 sets of lights to regulate traffic
flow onto opposing lanes. We wonder
why, when the Government refuses to
install simple traffic lights into that same
intersection NOW, citing the dangers of
rear end collisions at lights, will they be
installing lights when the new interchange
is built?
15%
The biggest infrastructure project in Saskatchewan’s history is a BAD DEAL FOR SASKATCHEWAN TAXPAYERS.
Costs continue to escalate – people losing their homes, businesses, and livelihoods – all for a highway that WILL NOT be
a solution to the traffic congestion in our city.
Our Alternative Proposal:
This map shows a better, more efficient
route to the north of Regina. What are the
advantages to a northern route?
* Overpasses at White City and Great
Plains access would eliminate the miles
of service roads required before highway
access in the Government plan. There
would be no need for a ‘Diverging
Diamond Interchange’ at Pilot Butte when
a simple interchange would be safer.
* Starting the route at Balgonie would allow
large trucks easy access to the truck
stops, commercial depots and freight
warehouses predominately located in the
north of Regina.
* Easier connections to highways #1,
#6 and #11, all in the north of Regina
* Easy access to the Global Transportation
Hub, with continuation on towards
Calgary.
* 90% of large trucks would use this route,
making the commuter corridor and access
between Balgonie - White City - Pilot
Butte safer and less congested.
