2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 2016 ‘Should we get rid of d aylight s aving t ime?’ THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK “Yes. The kids should not be starting school when it’s dark. There’s no reason to start at 8 a.m.; they should start at 9 a.m. Studies show they learn better when they start later. And we need to keep kids in school.

At about 6:37 p.m., Astoria Dispatch received a call from the man who said his van needed to be picked up from the bridge and that there would be a note explaining everything.

The group meets at the Cannon Beach City Hall parking lot, 163 E. Gower St. English ivy is a non-na- tive invasive species that climbs trees to reach light. Without being cut, it dam- ages and kills native trees and displaces other native plants along the ground that provide food and shelter for wildlife. Volunteers should wear work clothes, rain gear, and knee boots or other waterproof shoes, and bring a reusable water bottle. Tools and gloves will be provided.
