CFI

Heather Sundblom Is this new Continuous Flow Intersection (CFI) a good or bad choice? The CFI at Bangeter 3100 S. opened up September 16th. It has been shown to decrease congestion when used in other states. Catherine Higgins, a public relations official, said the way it would get rid of the congestion is through more green light time. Before the intersection was opened up, most people had to wait up to three cycles to get through the light, but now, the hope is it will only take one cycle. Gabby Arce believes it will cause more congestion. “There are two lights to get through instead of just one, it seems like it would take longer.” Along with these two lights for the left turn, Stephen Harman worries someone might try to squeeze into a small space for the left turn, and they’ll get clipped. Safety is a big issue brought up by the CFI. On the right turns, there are no lights for pedestrians to cross. Higgins said that pedestrians and drivers need to be careful, just like they would in a normal intersection. Hopefully, with the pedestrians crossing sign, they’ll be more aware. The first impression of Stephen and others is accidents because of the confusion of something new. “The reason why so many people are confused, or seem to be confused is because it is new. It wasn’t that long ago that interchanges under highways were unheard of, but now people are used to it, and people will get used to the CFI.” Higgins commented. All people seem to agree that the CFI’s effectiveness will improve over time, but there is sill the question if it is really worth it.

Homecoming

Granger boys showing school spirit!

Shyanne Jackson Okay so the team didn’t win…so what? They gave their best and that’s what counts. But who can forget the Homecoming dance? I mean the music, friends, couples; the whole enchilada. So, agree or disagree, it was great! Before it happened, I asked students some questions about homecoming. What are some of the things they were excited about for Homecoming? “Where can I start? I mean there’s so much to look forward to. The game, the dance, my dress. It’s going to be way fun! Homecoming is one of the highlights of the school year, and I want to be apart of it…GO LANCERS!” Gabrielle Young (11th grade) Who’s taking who and what day activities are being done? “Well, I’m going with my friend Michelle from Kearns High. We’re planning on going to the game on Friday. Then going out to eat after the dance. It’s exciting to attend these school activities. It’s entertainment the whole way!”

Argenis Pulido. That was only the beginning… Alright the game was a blow out, boo-hoo, whatever, get over it. Not to worry, there are more games to come. So, come out and show your school spirit! Now to the good part: the dance. It doesn’t matter if you went alone, with your sweetheart, or with friends, fun found everyone that night. Don’t believe me? Hear it first hand from students who did go. “Yeah I went to the Homecoming dance. It was great everything! Great music, great outfit, my friends. I like seeing everyone all dressed up, it was a fun experience. I mean, yeah I went with just friends. But I didn’t need a date to have fun that night.” Danielle Boyd. “The dance was fun! I went with my girlfriend Danille Mohl. She was just as excited as I was. We danced, chilled, and just basically had fun. I enjoyed it, and I’m pretty sure

everyone who went did too,” said Carlos Garcia. You heard it, ladies and gents, loud and clear. Homecoming made a good impact on people that weekend.
