Daylight Savings Time Ends Sunday Nov. 5

0

If you feel you were robbed of an hour of sleep last March when most of the country went on Daylight saving time, here’s some good news – you get it back this Sunday. 

Daylight saving time (DST) ends at 2 a.m. on Nov. 5, and if you haven’t heard already, you need to set your clocks back (“fall back”) one hour before going to bed on Saturday.

Why do we do this? Here’s a look at why we started using DST and why we continue to do it.

How it started

We can blame New Zealand entomologist George Hudson for daylight saving time. He wanted extra hours after work to go bug hunting, according to National Geographic, so he came up with the idea of just moving the hands on the clock.

William Willett, who is the great-great grandfather of Coldplay’s Chris Martin, , arrived at the same idea a few years later and proposed moving the clock forward in the spring and back in the fall in his work, “British Summer Time.”

Willett’s idea was picked up a few years later by the Germans who used it during World War I as a way to save on coal use. Other countries would soon follow suit.

In the U.S., DST was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson in 1918. 

Why did the U.S. do it?

The idea of setting clocks ahead in the spring was pitched as a way to help farmers with crops and harvesting. In reality, it was department stores behind the push for adjusting clocks, looking for another hour of shopping time in the afternoon and evenings.

Others have argued that DST saves energy. A 1975 study by the U.S. Department of Transportation showed that DST accounted for a savings of about one percent a day in electricity use.

While most of the country and about 40 percent of the world use DST, there are some exceptions. Two states – Arizona and Hawaii – and several territories don’t fall back or spring forward with DST.

Will we keep it?

It’s likely that most U.S. states will continue to use DST, though some state legislatures have discussed ending the practice.

In August, the Maine legislature passed a bill that would end DST.

A provision to the bill requires Maine voters to approve the change in a referendum, and the referendum could only be triggered if Massachusetts and New Hampshire agree to drop DST, also.

Moneywise Program Offers Free Financial Literacy Course

0

Online financial literacy courses are now being offered to high school students at no cost through the Indiana Moneywise initiative, according to State Rep. Chris May (R-Bedford).

After starting as a pilot program in six Indiana counties during the 2016-2017 school year, Secretary of State Connie Lawson is expanding the Indiana Moneywise Financial Education Program statewide to all Indiana high school students. These web-based courses focus on banking, credit scores, consumer protection, higher education expenses, insurance and taxes, investing, payment types, renting versus owning and savings plans.

“High school students are approaching a time in their lives when they often have to begin making important financial decisions for themselves,” May said. “Providing free classes educating them on a variety of related topics can help them to make these decisions confidently and build a strong foundation for their futures.”

May said the program is available to students in grade levels 9-12, and consists of nine course modules, which take 45-50 minutes each to finish.
“Currently, 52 percent of Hoosiers lack a rainy day fund to cover unexpected emergency expenses,” Lawson said. “Not being prepared for unexpected expenses can financially cripple an individual for years to come and costs them thousands in interest and fees. By teaching students to be financially fit, they will be better prepared to make decisions now that will help them achieve future goals such as applying for financial aid or buying a home.”

The web-based curriculum is derived from state and national financial education standards and adequately prepares students to be responsible for their financial future.

To find out more about the program, visit www.in.gov/sos/indianamoneywise/4495.htm.

State Rep. Chris May (R-Bedford) represents House District 65, which includes all of Brown County, most of Lawrence County and parts of Monroe, Jackson and Johnson counties.
