Daylight savings time ‘springs forward’ Sunday

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Sunday, March 8. What is it about that day? Can’t quite place it. Oh, yes. It is the time to ‘spring forward’.


Daylight savings time begins, so the annual ritual of setting your clocks forward one hour is this weekend.


It is also the perfect time to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and replace them if they are more than 10 years old.


“We’re still finding that many homes in Ohio don’t have working smoke alarms,” said State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers. “Many times, fatal fires could have been prevented with the help of the early warning a smoke alarm provides. It gives people time to escape.”


Daylight savings time begins at 2:00 a.m. Sunday.



Ringling Bros. to end elephant acts

POLK CITY, Fla. (AP) – The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus is ending its iconic elephant acts.


The circus’ parent company, Feld Entertainment, told The Associated Press exclusively that the acts will be phased out by 2018. Growing public concern about how the animals are treated led to the decision.


The circus plans to phase out elephant acts by 2018. Feld’s 43 elephants will live at the company’s 200-acre Center for Elephant Conservation in central Florida. Twenty-nine animals are already there, and the other 14 will arrive as they are phased out from the circus.


Elephant acts have been showcased by Ringling for more than a century and have often been featured in its posters.


The decision is being announced Thursday.
