It's time to "Spring Forward" Saturday night, as Daylight Savings Time begins. Before you go to bed on Saturday, March 12th set your clocks ahead a hour. Daylight Savings Time officially begins at 2 AM on Sunday, March 13th.

Ever wonder why we have Daylight Savings Time?

Equally important as to setting your clocks ahead a hour, is to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors! Unfortunately, whenever we write about lives lost in fires, reports normally indicate that there were not working smoke detectors! So when you go shopping this weekend, please buy the necessary batteries for your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors!
