Editor-in-Chief The Federal Highway Administration reports over 1,300 deaths and 116,800 injuries annually on snowy or icy roads. Teen drivers and students in Idaho Falls know firsthand how quickly winter weather can become extremely treacherous. With icy roads, freezing temperatures, and snow-covered sidewalks, it is crucial to take precautions to stay safe during these prolonged winter months. The D93 School District prioritizes student safety, and schools will close when road conditions become too dangerous. To stay informed about school closures, check the district website, your D93 email, or social media accounts to stay informed and up to date. When it comes to driving, safety should always be the top priority for all drivers. Before going out on the road, drivers can dial 511, a worldwide phone number that provides real-time traveler information. The number offers options with road conditions, traffic, construction alerts, and weather alerts. While driving, make sure to slow down and leave adequate space between you and the car in front of you because stopping distances increase tremendously. Use low gears to maintain traction, and keep your gas tank at least half full to avoid getting stranded. Make sure your windshield and windows are clear of snow and ice before you start driving as well. If you ever do get stuck, stay in your car, remain calm, and call for help. Aside from driving, there are several ways to ensure your health during the winter. Dress warmly or in layers to stay comfortable and maintain body temperature, and do not forget to keep your phone charged in case of emergencies. Stay hydrated with hot beverages and maintain energy with nutritious snacks. Finally, make sure to always keep medicine such as Advil, Tylenol, or a first aid kit nearby in case all else fails. By following these essential safety measures, we can all stay secure throughout the winter months. Exercise caution, prioritize safety, and remain warm and comfortable this winter!

Staff Writer The Bonneville Buzz Newspaper is thrilled to announce that the podcast is back! The new newspaper members renewed The Bonneville Buzzcast and are more than ready to talk and publish new episodes. Previous episodes remain available on Spotify, and they will be staying up along with our new episodes. These older episodes are still entertaining to listen to even if they are not from this school year. The podcast episodes were made as an alternative to writing articles and instead the staff member(s) would ask questions and the answers would be told rather than written. This way, listeners simply press play and learn more about the school even if they are busy. Staff members implemented changes while maintaining the podcast’s original concept. The staff acquired new microphones and found a new place to record with hopes of bringing up the quality. With the changes in place, the podcast will be set up and will start again either this December or the following January. Another part of the podcast that stayed the same is the goal of making monthly episodes. Each episode explores campus events that can feel more relatable to the students, and they can learn more about what is happening around them. The past podcast episodes have been 15-20 minutes long, and the new staff will stay in that range to keep things equal. With this though, there might be a topic that does not fit, and it will have to be edited out. That is why the newspaper members are excited to announce that the staff is trying to stick to making a last bloopers episode with every interesting clip that had to be edited out. This solution helps so that the staff members as well as the interviewee(s) can feel free to speak their mind along with the listeners being able to tune in and hear the parts where the speakers drifted off from the interview questions. Past podcast episodes and practice recordings remain engaging even with parts being edited out. Editors typically remove awkward silences so that the listener does not have to sit through the pauses. Past and upcoming episodes benefit from many of the staff members being easy to talk to. This helps to make the listening experience more enjoyable. The staff plans to create many more interesting episodes for the students here at Bonneville. Episodes run shorter than typical podcasts, making them a quick and interesting episode that barely takes any time away from the day. The podcast team aims to create compelling episodes that can catch the attention of more listeners. Upcoming campus events and diverse interview subjects will help to make that happen along with plenty of willing members. The podcast is still a work in progress, but students can expect the first new episode by January and hopefully stay tuned for the ones following! |
