Time Comes For Daylight-Saving

POSTED: 8:48 pm EST March 31, 2006

Hoosiers are getting ready to do something they haven’t done in 36 years -- change their clocks.

Some residents are concerned Sunday morning's time change will be a time-consuming process, but others insist that it can't be that hard because other states have been doing it without problems, 6News' Norman Cox reported.

Much of the communication officials got from Hoosiers over the time-change issue was from people concerned about correctly changing their clocks, especially on electronic equipment, and the length of time it would take to do so.

Out-of-state visitors for the Final Four in Indianapolis said changing clocks shouldn't take more than five minutes for most people.

Some Hoosiers said they're ready for their first time change ever, but others don't know exactly what to expect or how long it will take.

Indiana residents 6News spoke with Friday were still a bit apprehensive about the time change. Some people were worried they would forget to change all of their clocks, while others thought it might take them an hour to do the job.

It would undoubtedly take Ted Fleischaker a long time to change his clocks. He's a collecter, with 48 timepieces in his home. But, Fleischaker said he's not going to switch them, not because it's difficult, but because he's an ardent opponent of Daylight-Saving Time.

I don't believe in daylight time. I think it is stupid," Fleischaker said. "That's why I call it DST --that's Daniels' Stupid Time."

Daniels said the change won't be that bad.

"I'm sorry for any confusion that any folks are experiencing. It's really not that complicated," Daniels said.
