Pennsylvania legislative races take shape after redistricting delay

HARRISBURG, Pa. - A scramble to collect enough signatures over just a week and a half to make it onto the primary ballot began over the weekend, kicking off what is certain to be a year of political change in the Pennsylvania Legislature.The state Supreme Court cut in half the normal three-week petition-gathering period last week, when the court approved new General Assembly maps.The justices left in place the May 17 primary date but gave candidates until Monday to get the signatures required to make the ballot — 500 for state Senate and 300 for the House.The pandemic and general wariness about disclosing personal information are not making the the process any easier."To be perfectly honest, this is a tough time," said seven-term Rep. Sheryl Delozier, R-Cumberland, after spending several days knocking on doors in a suburban Harrisburg district that underwent significant changes in reapportionment.

How long will it take to regain the hour of morning daylight lost to daylight saving time?

advanced by one hour on Sunday, marking the beginning of daylight saving time – a tradition regulated by the Uniform Time Act of 1966.Under federal law, daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.But that hour of daylight gained in the evening doesn't just miraculously appear with the changing of the clocks. Instead, we're simply moving that hour of daylight from the morning to the evening.Now, instead of the sun coming up between 6 and 7 a.m. and setting around 6 to 7 p.m., it doesn't rise until between 7 and 8 a.m., but it's up much later in the evening until about 7 to 8 p.m.That means many of us are waking up in the dark this week, but the trade-off is that we can eat our dinner in the daylight.FILE - Alarm clocks are showing 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock.

Tips for checking smoke alarms during daylight saving time

daylight saving time is observed in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 13. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends testing your smoke alarms once a month using the test button and changing the batteries twice a year, which can conveniently be done when we change our clocks for daylight saving time in the spring and fall. In today’s day and age, not all smoke alarms are designed the same, so ensuring your smoke alarm works properly may take more than replacing a battery. The following is information from the NFPA to ensure all smoke alarms have working batteries: Kidde smoke and carbon monoxide detector on light wooden surface, Lafayette, California, February 23, 2022.
