Once again, it’s that time of year - Sunday, October 30, 2005 marks the end of Daylight Saving Time, as observed in most of our states. So be sure to set your clocks BACK one hour at 2:00 a.m. next week. The exceptions to the rule are: Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Eastern Time Zone portion of the State of Indiana, and most of Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Indian Reservation.)

Setting our clocks back is an excellent time to think about changing the batteries in our smoke detectors. A working smoke detector greatly increases the chances of surviving a home fire. Although most of us have smoke detectors, a large percentage of those have worn-out or missing batteries. As a safety tip, why not remind yourself and your clients to change the batteries in your smoke detector at the same time you change your clocks.
