Residents are reminded to turn their clocks ahead one hour this weekend when Daylight Saving Time goes into effect.

Daylight Saving (DST) begin on Sunday, March 8 at 3 a.m. and continue until Sunday, Nov. 1 at 2 a.m. PDT this year.

The time change will mean an hour of sleep is lost, darker in the early mornings, but an extra hour of light in the evening.
