Spring forward The old saying “Spring forward; fall back� will get some good play this weekend, as Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 12. People in most parts of the United States will enjoy that extra hour of daylight until Sunday, Nov. 5, when we “fall back� and set our clocks back an hour. Of all 50 states, only Hawaii and portions or Arizona do not use Daylight Saving Time. The United States first observed Daylight Saving Time in 1918 in at least one location in the country. The current schedule of the second Sunday in March through the first Sunday in November was introduced in 2007 and follows the Energy Policy Act, which was enacted to help save energy by using natural light rather than artificial lighting, though several debate if that really is the case. If your only clock is on your phone or computer, you probably don’t have to do a thing. IPads and MacBooks all update automatically. Most Android phones should do the same. At right, Princeton resident Dan Martinkus will no doubt have his hands full when Daylight Saving Time hits on Sunday morning. A fondness for restoring and refurbishing old clocks has resulted in a wall of clocks which will all need to be set forward by hand this weekend. IVS photo/Dave Cook
