Leap ahead and fall behind
Posted on October 15, 2008 by LuAnn Farrar
When is the fall time change this year? It used to be in October, didn’t it?
Daylight savings time did change in October. In 2006, it was October 29. But in 2007, time changed. Time zones and daylight time are regulated by the U.S. Code. According to the U.S. Navy, the autumn time change is the first Sunday in November and the second Sunday in March. This year, Daylight Savings Time ends on November 2, which means you set your clock back one hour.

My mother was a public school librarian. I earned a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in library and information science from the University of Kentucky. The Herald-Leader hired me as a news assistant 25 years ago; soon after, I moved to the news research department, where I’ve been ever since. We used to clip newspapers. Now, almost all of our research is online. We've come a long way.
