Close Idaho Falls-Area High School Campuses

by Joe Vandal April 18, 2007

I think all Idaho Falls-area high schools should close their campuses for lunch. I believe closed campuses are best for our area because of time and distance required to reach eating establishments, unhealthy food is usually eaten when students leave campus,

Most local high schoolers only get 35 minutes for lunch, barely enough time to [...]

Must Idaho High School Students Take ASVAB Test?

by Joe Vandal November 28, 2006

Pre-released on IdahoFallz MySpace page:
I recently read this story about a couple high school students in Georgia who frustrated military recruiters’ attempts to administer ASVAB tests under the guise of “career placement tests”.
Apparently the two students overheard teachers discussing that the tests would be given the after the weekend, that the students would be [...]

Idaho asserts education as lowest priority

by Joe Vandal November 9, 2006

It seems America took four steps forward while Idaho took eight steps backwards this election. I don’t mean one party is or will be better than the other. I mean that folks were tired of the same, tired lines from one party and elected a new direction, a change up.
America’s change ups that are [...]

KPVI 6 Reporter Suzanne Hobbs on the Oprah show

by Joe Vandal November 8, 2006

I was surprised to see a local reporter on the Oprah show and not see or hear a mention in our local media. KPVI Channel 6 reporter Suzanne Hobbs was featured for about four minutes during Oprah’s November 3, 2006 show on teen mothers who kill their newborn babies.
Footage was shown from the infamous [...]

Coping with the Pocatello teen tragedy

by Joe Vandal October 4, 2006

Our region is still coping with the shocking news of Cassie Jo Stoddart, who police said was fatally stabbed by two of her boyfriends’ friends while house sitting in the Pocatello area.
According to KPVI, Torey Adamcik and Brian Lee Draper were arrested last Wednesday night after they took polygraph tests, though police said “they [...]

Local teens can sell water for summer cash

by the VP June 4, 2006

Idaho Falls teens often complain there’s a lack of jobs available to them here. Try this simple idea: selling bottled water.
The idea comes from this entrepreneur’s blog, and is basically buy cheap cases of bottled water and a bag of ice. Throw them in the family cooler and write “ICE COLD WATER $1″ in [...]

Post Register profiles those who overcome adversity

by the VP May 24, 2006

I wanted to give kudos to our local Post Register for the local student stories they profile all year round, and especially at graduation time. Yesterday I admired how Bonneville senior Raul Carreno is graduating high school but couldn’t speak any English just two years ago. Today I admired how Idaho Falls senior Tony Jenkins [...]

ProtecTeens tries hard to protect teens

by zeth 1337 May 16, 2006

I requested the free CD, ProtecTeens, distributed by our Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden and Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa. It is meant to help Idaho parents, teachers, and teens against online sexual solicitation, exploitation, and abuse. Wasden narrates most of the 22-minute CD. I know their intentions were in the right place, [...]

Local restaurant run only by high school students

by Joe Vandal May 15, 2006

KIFI Local News 8 recently reported on Sandcreek Middle School’s great in-school food service, ‘The Firepit’. The report strangely says that no other restaurants offer something unique (?), but the unique aspect of ‘The Firepit’ is that students are the waiters, chefs, and delivery people. They field menus around school and in their classroom’s tabled [...]

Bonneville Senior Facing Unfair Punishment

by Official Stench May 3, 2006

Abel Hernandez, the 17 year old Mexican narced out by an idiot student smoking pot in the Bonneville High school bathroom, apparently is being charged as an adult for the $1500 in pot found in his car. The news has reported he may get a life sentence for the single crime.
Let’s say that again: [...]

Why did blogging pass Idaho Falls?

by zeth 1337 April 17, 2006

Hey Idaho Falls, it is time to introduce you to a phenomenon called blogging.
The term comes from web-log, which is a written log/journal/diary posted to the Internet. Some people expose their deepest emotions, some write to let family members keep up to date, some write to explore their professions, some write to further their political [...]

Dog crap picker upper

by Joe Vandal April 10, 2006

A buddy had a business idea to go around and pick up people’s dog crap from back yards. He figured on an old Toyota pickup truck, carry shovels and garbage bags, and maybe even have a cheesy loudspeaker playing Charlie Brown music like the ice cream man. Except instead of selling ice cream, you pull [...]

Bonneville High School student was narced out

by Official Stench April 2, 2006

Last week a Bonneville High School senior was arrested when nearly a pound of marijuana was found in his car. Officials say they were given an anonymous tip the student had brought the weed to school.
Word on the street says otherwise. Another student bought a baggie from the dealer student. He smoked it in the [...]

Idaho Falls Science Fair

by Joe Vandal March 27, 2006

The Museum of Idaho’s INL exhibit emphasized how much knowledge has existed at our beloved nuclear site. I wondered how much of that knowledge has transferred from the scientists, engineers, and medical professionals to our community, and especially to our local educational opportunities.

I propose an Idaho Falls science fair, open to all 6 local high [...]

by Your Gal Friday March 26, 2006

What does “Coming of age” really mean?Â Some feel age is a state of mind , if you do not feel old therefore you are not.Â I believe coming of age is a state of education, if you will.Â A growing and learning experience.Â Although I have so much in life to learn , I [...]

Idaho Falls teens on Myspace: sexy pics, drunken brags, and phone numbers

by zeth 1337 March 22, 2006

Myspace has been making several headlines lately, and our own Local News 8 tried a surface-level report recently.
I had always ignored Myspace until the nationwide reports started surfing. Mass media news mostly focuses on scare stories, but Myspace.com has become one of the top 10 Internet sites and was recently bought out by Rupert Murdoch’s [...]

- veles2003 :
- Guest_3070 : I wish the local news websites would update their news stories more often. 6 is terrible, 3 and 8 better. I hate logging in an noon and only seeing the same stories from last night!
- Nikola Tesla : The site should otherwise work normally
- Nikola Tesla : Trying to add some new "social" functions when logged in. NONE of it is working yet. It might be a couple days so thanks for tolerating
- Nikola Tesla : thanks
- Guest_4172 : Thanks Nikola. The 'Cool Funny Jokes' and 'Good Child Photographers' ones still have some spam.

- Guest_3070 : Linda 33 you must be one lonely gal...yeah, either clean up the QA or can it, spammers took over. Heck, give me the password and I'll keep it cleaned.
- Guest_913 : Yes, it definitely needs cleaned up, if not deleted. Too bad, it had nice potential.
- Guest_1111 : The Q & A section never panned out they way it was intended anyway. It ended up turning into a big spam magnet. Time to put the Q&A out of its misery and pull the plug.
- Guest_913 : I think it's past time to allow certain combinations of letters in the alphabet to be used in the Q & A forum posts that allow regular words to be used. For example: A person should be able to write the word 'assistance' without having the first 3 letters chopped off.

- Guest_3070 : Hey don't post links unless you say what they're about!
- Guest_333 : I am not fat, I am healthy. I know some people that are heavy in weight. A couple of them are healthy, and it's up to them so far, to live the life they want to live. So until something changes, they have the right to respect, and to do what they will. You are no better then they are, and correct me if I am wrong, #5013...but it sounds quite bigoted of you to write such, maybe even a little self conscience. And yes I agree that the number is minuscule.

- Guest_1111 : oh yes its ladies night, and I'm feelin right, oh yes its ladies night oh what a oooh whaddahh niight...

- Guest_9520 : Jose Cuervo
- Guest_1080 : bill Mckeever
- Guest_2311 : but its probably the same with dnc tactics
- Guest_2311 : leaked RNC fundraiser strategy slideshow reveals they are playing off small donors "fear" and big donors "ego" «link»
- Guest_Cornfritter : last year we had a discussion about this issue and somebody wrote the exact same thing. I don't remember the name of the post but I remember somebody saying something very similar to what 1471 wrote.
- Guest_3070 : 1471- was that part of another discussion I missed???
- Guest_5013 : the way I see it is: loose the weight feel better & live longer and stop making excuses for your weight problem.
- Guest_5013 : sounds like somebody is trying to justify their obesity. The fact is, the amount of people you're talking about is so miniscule its not even worth arguing.
- Guest_1471 : After all, there are examples of obese people who somehow stay metabolically fit — no high blood pressure or high blood sugar or high cholesterol. "If fat cells functioned perfectly, you could be as obese as you want and not have heart disease," says Dr. Carey Lumeng of the University of Michigan

- Guest_2854 : I heard the other day, that the NFL is changing the way overtime is played. Does anyone know more about this?
- Guest_3070 : Ah, we read your material with much interest too.....
- buy cheap generic : I liked it. So much useful material. I read with great interest.
- Guest_4393 : But all the players are in the NHL, so a lot of the guys i like played for Canada...So the way i see it, we all won by watching a great game for hockey fans on both sides of the border.
- Guest_4172 : I bite my nails anyway. But sure, I'll attribute it to the game. And now, Obama has to pony up some Molson.
- Guest_13 : What a awesome way to end the games with that nail biter of a hockey game last night. Just incredible! (even though we lost.)
- Guest_13 : A big Thank You to our Canadian neighbors for doing such a great job hosting the Winter Olympics.
- Guest_4172 : oops, I spoke too soon...just saw that he did. ha ha! gotcha!
- Guest_4172 : Dang, he didn't take the bait. It WAS all he had to say about it!
- Guest_1527 : New poll please.
- Guest_Chickenhawk : we all know scientific studies dont mean squat except to liberals and atheists.
- Guest_2311 : but we all guessed that already right?
- Guest_2311 : «link»
- Guest_2311 : waddya know scientific study proves liberals and atheists have higher IQs
- Guest_2486 : Olympic medal count: USA-32, Germany-26, Norway-20

- Guest_3432 : As the ols saying goes "visit Yellowstone before it visits you"
- Guest_Chickenhawk : There is no Chick-fil-A in town. As for Hotels it all depends on how much you want to spend. If you're coming up north on I-15 take the Broadway exit and there are a number of hotels there along the river.
