It’s Time to Change the Clocks

By Todd Wineburner

Tonight is the night to spring ahead. Officially the time change happens at 2 a.m. tomorrow, but turning the clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed tonight works just as well. The clocks change back on November 1st. The state fire marshall says it’s a good time to change smoke alarm batteries as well. Nearly 36-hundred structure fires were reported last year in Illinois, and smoke alarms played a role in alerting the families involved in over 60 percent of those cases.
