Utah Skies to Illuminate with F-35 Night Operations Until March 22
Hill Air Force Base in Utah is scheduled to begin night flying operations for F-35 fighter jets, involving the active-duty 388th and reserve 419th Fighter Wings. These operations, aimed at enhancing pilot readiness for any condition, will occur primarily over the Utah Test and Training Range. Scheduled to run until March 22, the flights will not extend past 10:30 p.m. on most evenings. This initiative underscores the base's commitment to maintaining high levels of preparedness and operational capability.

Police Officer Charged with DUI While Driving Unmarked Vehicle Wrong Way
A Bountiful police detective was arrested on February 19th for DUI after being caught driving an unmarked police vehicle the wrong way around a roundabout with a loaded AR-15 rifle inside. The officer, identified as 32-year-old Brandon Beecher, displayed signs of alcohol impairment during the stop. Despite refusing field sobriety tests and denying alcohol consumption, a subsequent chemical test revealed a blood-alcohol content of .137, surpassing Utah's legal limit. Beecher, who had served for eight years, resigned following the incident, which is under investigation by both the Bountiful Police Department and the Peace Officer Standards and Training organization.

New Tunnel at Salt Lake City Airport Set to Streamline Passenger Transit
The Salt Lake City International Airport is set for a significant upgrade with the forthcoming introduction of a central tunnel aimed at improving passenger transit times. Slated to open on October 22, this tunnel will connect concourses A and B, reducing the walking distance from security checks to gates. It spans 1,175 feet and will feature moving sidewalks, with provisions for a future tram service. This improvement is a key component of the airport's Phase 3 expansion, which also includes the addition of new gates and a variety of dining and retail options to cater to the growing demands of air travelers.


Adjusting to Daylight Saving Time: Tips for a Smooth Transition
Hello neighbors,
As we welcome the start of daylight saving time, itβs essential to ensure a smooth transition to maximize our well-being. Research indicates that this time change can affect our health and daily routines. Here are some warm tips to help you adapt:
Understanding Daylight Saving Time:
Daylight saving time begins in March and ends in November. We've just sprung forward on March 10, setting our clocks ahead by an hour. Remember, this change may seem small, but it can impact our sleep patterns and overall health.
Preparing for the Time Change:
- Gradual Adjustment: Ease into the time change by adjusting your schedule gradually. Try going to bed 15-20 minutes earlier each night leading up to the switch.
- Prioritize Sleep: Ensure you're well-rested before the time change. Quality sleep before the transition can minimize its effects on your body.
- Relaxation Techniques: Practice relaxation methods such as deep breathing or meditation to ease into sleep and manage any disruptions.
- Set Your Clocks Early: Adjust your clocks before bedtime to avoid any confusion or mishaps the next day.
Maximizing Daylight Exposure:
- Get Outside: Spend time outdoors, especially in the morning, to sync your body's internal clock with natural light.
- Upgrade Sleep Hygiene: Maintain a consistent sleep schedule, limit caffeine and alcohol intake, and create a comfortable sleep environment.
Nourish Your Body:
- Healthy Diet: Opt for a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables to support both overall health and sleep quality.
- Watch What You Eat: Avoid heavy meals and caffeine close to bedtime to prevent disruptions in sleep.
Manage Daytime Sleepiness:
- Short Naps: If needed, take short naps under 30 minutes to boost alertness without interfering with nighttime sleep.
By implementing these strategies, we can navigate the time change smoothly and prioritize our well-being. Let's embrace the extra daylight and make the most of our days ahead.
Wishing you all restful nights and bright mornings!
Warm regards,
Bountiful Buzz Team
