*TIME CHANGE*
On Sunday March 12, 2023 you will need to setyour clocks up one hour as 
we go into Daylight Sav-
ing Time.
There is a bill in Congress to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. This 
bill is called“Sunshine
Protection Act 
<https://news.yahoo.com/daylight-saving-time-2023-u-185430911.html>”.The 
Sunshine Protection Act is aproposed United States federal law that would
make U.S. daylight saving time permanent, meaning the time would no 
longer change twice per
year. The debate over thebill mainly concerns the effects on human 
health, traffic accidents, and
whether it isbetter to have more sunlight in the morning or the evening.
