2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2018 ‘Sen. Kim Thatcher is proposing a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent. What do you think?’ “I agree with it. I want it to happen. I’m tired of changing the clock back and forth.” THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK David Starr, Astoria “I’ve never objected to the shifting of the time. I’m used to it. It’s almost a point of amusement. I understand there are economic reasons to get rid of it, but there are also compelling social reasons to keep it — like kids’ bus schedules and walking to school in the morning.” “I’m used to the change. It tells me I still have to do a few things to use my brain. Actually, it doesn’t bother me one way or another. It’s only one hour.” Duane Ballard, Astoria Tom Barnum, Astoria William George and Bobette Eileen Frederick Joanne Posey Jewell Dec. 1, 1938 — Feb. 20, 2018 Jan. 1, 1940 — March 7, 2018 Lebanon Feb. 24, 1931 — March 10, 2018 Joanne Olive Posey was born Feb. 24, Joanne is survived by her brother, Rich- 1931, in Portland, Oregon, to Arne and Francis ard Oja; and her five children, Sharon Rabie Oja.
