How much sleep have I lost worrying about daylight saving time? Eagle Archive by Kevin Dayhoff
How much sleep have I lost worrying about daylight saving time?
A full week later, I'm still savoring the extra hour of sleep I got last Sunday morning at 2 a.m. when daylight saving time officially ended for 2012.

Eagle Archive
By Kevin E. Dayhoff November 10, 2012
Of course, I lost that hour in the days since, lying awake thinking about the history of daylight savings time. The March 7, 1947, edition of a local Westminster paper carried an article which gives us some insight into almost a century of controversy over daylight saving time.
Ben Franklin is credited with advocating the value of "daylight saving," in 1784, in a satirical, anonymous letter to the editor of the Journal of Paris. In it, he proposed, among many humorous remedies to the overuse of candles, a tax on shutters, to be enforced by stepped-up police vigilance and the rationing of candles.
It was not until the Standard Time Act was enacted March 19, 1918, that daylight saving time was established in the United States. It was so controversial that it was promptly repealed in 1919.
According to the U.S. Naval Observatory, it was re-established nationally early in World War II, and was continuously observed from February 1942 to September 1945. After the war, its use was determined locally among states, counties and communities…

T.S. Eliot wrote in the poem, "The Waste Land,"
published in November of 1922, that "April is the cruelest month."
I could not disagree more.
The month of February is a horrible joke foisted upon us.
This, in spite of the fact that Feb. 24, St. Matthias Day, is, by tradition,
understood to be the luckiest day of the year.
According to research by the Historical Society of Carroll
County, "The Jan. 27, 1922, issue of the Union Bridge Pilot newspaper
mentioned St. Matthias Day, saying: 'Another bit of old weather lore comes
February 24, St. Matthias day. According to the old saying: 'If he finds ice,
he'll break it. If he finds none, he'll make it.'" …
Saint Matthias is a pretty mysterious character in the
Bible. He is only mentioned twice — in Acts 1:21-22 and Acts 1: 26. In those
passages, it is noted that following the Ascension of Christ, 120 disciples
were assembled by Peter to choose a replacement for Judas. Two were nominated
for consideration, Joseph Barsabbas, also known as Justus, and Matthias.
The choice between the two was determined by the luck of the
draw. Acts 1: 26 says, "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell
upon Matthias."
His name is never mentioned again in the New Testament, even
though he was named the twelfth disciple.
Anyway, when it comes to weather in the month of February,
we are not as lucky as Matthias… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0303-20130305,0,4412485.story

Artist
Biography
After
working in the corporate world for many years Donna took an early
retirement. In January 2007, she took
her first art class at Carroll Community College. She continued with private watercolor classes
with Felisa Flecker, workshops and classes with Tara Grim, Carolyn Seabolt,
Sarah Abel DeLuca, and Skip Lawrence.
Presently Donna enjoys abstract painting, using acrylics, collage and
mixed media with Ed Ramsburg, who continually encourages her to grow as an
artist.
She
has exhibited at Carroll County Community College – The Great Hall, Carroll
Life Gallery, Circuit Court Building, Carroll County Arts Council, Frederick
Arts Council (FAC), Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center (DVAEC), The
Artists Gallery, FMH Crestwood Gallery, and Frederick County Art
Association. Within this past year, two
of the art pieces have been shown at the Annapolis Statehouse Building. Presently, original pieces and giclees are in
private collections and consigned in a local shop.
When
Donna was in the second grade art class, she remembered feeling the excitement
when painting her first abstract. Now
she is focusing on acrylic, collage and mixed media abstracts - the larger the
canvas, the better. She enjoys
expressing creativity through painting and going to new levels using the
imagination with whatever materials are available. The whole process from beginning to end is
exhilarating! I love sharing my world of color with others.
