' ' - Hannemann Talks About Upcoming Lone Peak Boundary Vote by Harlow Clark The Alpine School Dis-trict board will be voting on a boundary issue in their No-vember 9, 6 p.m. meeting at the ASD building, 575 North 100 East, American Fork. Board member Chrissy Hannemann, who represents Cedar Hills, Alpine and High-land, introduced herself to Ce-dar Hills' City Council during the public comment part of their Octtober 19 meeting. Public comment is sup-posed to be limited to three minutes, but the issue of Cedar Hills residents being divided between schools sparked a dis-cussion lasting 10 or 15 min-utes. Hannemann talked about several issues she had heard of from Cedar Hills parents, such as math teaching, class size, safety, particularly the safety concerns about having com-mercial development across the street from Lone Peak High and boundaries. The district has adjusted boundaries of some schools and closed those schools to out of boundary stu-dents, including AFJHS, be-cause "it's over capacity." But that's not a perfect solution, she said, because closing boundar-ies creates "divisiveness in the community." Lone Peak's borders will remain closed, but at the next meeting, the board will vote on giving "anyone east of Can-yon Road the option of opting in to attend Lone Peak High," starting with 38 10th graders in 2011, and increasing to "up to 124" by 2019. Council Members Ken Kirk and Marisa Wright com-mented on the fact that the meeting will be after the No-vember 2 election. Hannemann acknowl-edged that she was running for her third term, and said she has learned a lot from actually hav-ing "someone up against me" this time. She told Kirk she would vote for the option and had not heard of any opposition to it. "We've heard this year af-ter year after year after year," Wright said slowly. "It's really disheartening for me to hear that you're going to make this decision after the election." "I know of one child on our street that got into Lone Peak. Nobody knows why," Wright said, adding that the current policy splits neighborhoods and friends between schools. She also said that if the district simply opened enroll-ment to anyone in Cedar Hills, there would not be a mad dash because a lot of Cedar Hills families have deep ties to American Fork and its high school. "It's not an election deci-sion," Hannemann said. "It's state law about when it has to be done. We make it every No-vember, regardless of election year." She gave a little back-ground saying there are still a lot of hard feelings from when boundaries were redrawn 10 years ago to protect AFHS from depopulation when LPHS opened. AFHS now has 1989, and LPHS has 2,171, "both really maxed out." Hannemann also said that Highland students would like to enroll at Lone Peak, but there's not room for 300, just 124, "but that's still not for another nine years." Wright asked about ru-mors of another north county high school. Hannemann said ASD bought land south of Micron 13 years ago for a new school "then Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain took off," but ASD still owns the land and could build something like a magnet school or an arts school rather than create more ugliness from another bound-ary adjustment. City Manager Konrad Hildebrandt joked that it would be better to send all the Draper kids to Lehi High. "They live too far from Lone Peak. Cedar Hills is within stone throwing distance," he added. All the council members agreed the city would like the option for all residents to attend the same school, but Stephanie Martinez added that her 6th grader is a true Caveman and her 5th grader wants to go to Lone Peak. Hannemann said the vote will probably come about 20 minutes into the board meet-ing, with three in favor, one having expressed concerns, and three expressing no op-position. "If they don't speak out in opposition, you assume that they're okay with it," it was noted. H J PLEASANT GROVE vVi 1 vi Kortfi N.

This bridge will be removed on Nov. 13. Motorists need to be aware of the work being done in this area of the project which is expected to take six months to complete. Known as the Proctor Lane 200 South Update, this project will include the demo-lition of the 200 South bridge in Lindon and the move of the Proctor Lane Bridge on Nov. 13 and 15. The bridge to be demolished is on 200 South in Lindon just west of Geneva Road. The new bridge will be located above Proctor Lane just south of Exit 275. j This construction project is part of the project now under-way in Utah County. The city council was informed that UDOT is recommending that southbound vehicles can exit at Exit 275, follow Pleasant Grove Boulevard to come into Pleasant Grove or they can turn south on 2000 West, go east on Lindon's 700 North to Geneva Road. At that point they can then go south on Geneva Road to Exit 273 where they can return to UDOT officials noted that the area around 200 South and in Lindon will be closed for six months.
