Dangerous intersection needs attention

The Highway 11 intersection at the south entrance to Davidson was once again the site of a collision. The most recent occurred last Tuesday, Feb 26. Temporary stop signs on the east and west sides of Hwy. 11 are taking the place of the permanent signs that were installed on large metal poles with flashing red lights. Those poles, on either side of the highway, were knocked down earlier this winter in separate collisions.

DAVIDSON—A noon hour collision last Tuesday, Feb. 26, at Highway 11’s south entrance to Davidson has town officials once again calling for a reduced speed limit zone in that area.

At about 12:25 p.m. Tuesday, members from Craik RCMP detachment and Davidson Volunteer Fire Department responded to a two-vehicle collision at the busy intersection.

The collision occurred when a vehicle that was turning south onto Highway 11 was merging onto the highway. Meanwhile, a southbound vehicle travelling at highway speed moved over to the passing lane and struck a vehicle that was merging on to the highway from the other side.

Craik RCMP Sgt. Robb Karaim said both drivers were taken to the hospital in Davidson to be checked out and were released.

Just because there were no serious injuries this time, Craik RCMP as well as Davidson town councillors want the Department of Highways to take action to improve the safety of the intersection.

Red Devil

Now that there is snow on the ground, the sleds are coming out. Mike Beckie took his 1968 Bolens Diablo Rouge for a spin last Thursday. The vintage sled features an articulated design with the seat overtop the skis and the engine sitting above the tracks. It’s a fun machine that comfortably seats three adults.

Goldfish race for Telemiracle

Kinsmen members Jason Low (left) and Kevin Farden load goldfish into the starting blocks for the first race of the night.

The Davidson Kinsmen Club and the Bladworth Elks teamed up to put on a fish fry and goldfish races Feb. 8 at the Bladworth Community Hall.  The Elks cooked a fish fry supper before the auction and races. They fed a large crowd, serving 113 meals of steelhead trout.

The goldfish races have become an annual tradition for the local Kinsmen. It’s a fun event that is entertaining for the family.

This goldfish auction raised $6,055 for Kinsmen Telemiracle 43. sport. The telethon takes place March 2 and 3 in Saskatoon.
