‘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. Daylight
s aving t ime is out of date.”
“Absolutely. I don’t
think it serves its
purpose — for
agriculture and
energy savings —
any more. We’re just
not in the same boat any more;
we’re just not.”
“I wish I could say ‘Y es,’
but I don’t think so. With-
out changing the clocks
like that, and with the way
the earth rotates, every
year time gets offset more and
more. So we’re stuck with it. A better solu-

OBITUARIES
Man dies after jumping off bridge
The Daily Astorian
A man died Tuesday eve-
ning after jumping from the
Astoria Bridge. 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.
While Astoria Police
responded, the man left
the elevated area of the
bridge and fell to his death.
He landed on the Astoria
Riverwalk near the Holi-
day Inn and the Maritime
Memorial.
The incident is being
treated as a suicide, accord-
ing to police.
The man has been identi-

The apparent suicide is
the second incident on the
Astoria Bridge within the
past year.
Last April, 54-year-old
Astoria resident Carrie Barn-
hart jumped from the Astoria
Bridge landing in the alley
way between the Holiday
Inn Express and behind the
Dunes Hotel.

CANNON BEACH —
The Ecola Creek Watershed
Council and Friends of the
Cannon Beach Trail are hold-
ing a volunteer work party,
“Ivy Free Tree Day 2016,”
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Satur-
day to cut ivy from the lower
portions of trees along the
t rail near Gower and Spruce
streets, and along the east side
of U.S. Highway 101.
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.
