Saving Time


Read everything you wanted to know about daylight savings time ... and more at Daylight Savings Time from WebExhibits.com.
Just as sunflowers turn their heads to catch every sunbeam, so too have we discovered a simple way to get more from our sun.
Or read the books inspired by the subject: Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time by David Prerau and Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time by Michael Downing.

Read my column Saving Time With Ben in the Norwood Transcript and Bulletin, October 7, 2009.

The Grace of Gander, Newfoundland

Looks like Vimeo had to take down the videos. Sorry about that.

Tom Brokaw did a special on Gander, Newfoundland's generosity and grace on September 11, 2001. It aired during the Olympics. Now the videos of that piece can't be found on the web.

It was a truly inspiring piece and one I hope you find and watch.
