enterville City has donated two small pieces of property to UDOT in preparation for a two-intersection project which is expected to take place next summer. UDOT has plans to construct “operational and safety improvements” at the Parrish Lane/Marketplace Drive and Parrish Lane /400 West intersections, UDOT Region 1 spokesman Mitch Shaw said. Since the two-intersection project is currently in design details are not available, but they could include widening, adding some additional lanes or turn lanes, doing some updates with the signals and signal timing, Shaw said. The two projects, which have a combined projected $36 million price tag, were identified in a 2017 UDOT presentation as “essential project(s) for Centerville City and UDOT Region 1 in order to reduce congestion.” They will be built to a 2040 traffic model prepared by UDOT Region 1 traffic engineers and are currently in design. UDOT will put the projects out to bid in the spring and they are expected to be constructed next summer, Shaw said. These types of projects typically involve some road closures, and the public will be notified of these in advance, Shaw said. UDOT and other transportation

THE NEW PHYSICAL therapy program promises great things for Catalyst students.
n a matchup of Region 5’s top two teams in Bountiful and Woods Cross Sept. 21, Redhawks senior Taylor Harvey picked a nice time to have a career night as she went off for 38 kills. After losing the first two sets 25-23, 25-23, Bountiful regrouped and won a reverse sweep in the final three sets 2516, 25-10, 15-13. “The girls played so great,” said head coach Kelsie White. “I couldn’t be more proud. We were working all week in practice to prepare and emphasize how important it is to compete with confidence. I was so proud of how the girls stepped up in the last three sets but more importantly how they played for each other.” Besides the “force from both the front and back row” that Harvey was, according to White, Milika Satuala also stood out for the Redhawks with 16 kills and 25 digs while Hallie Hewlett served six aces. “Our passing from Adelaide Stevenson helped Hallie get our offense going,” White said. “It was one of the funnest games I’ve been a part of and was an all-around team effort. Woods Cross is an extremely talented team that put up a big challenge for us. It
