Indiana adopted Daylight Saving Time (DST) in Spring 2006. Additionally,
the U.S. Dept.
of Transportation has ruled on the requests of individual counties to change
their time zone. St. Joseph County, Indiana, will remain in the Eastern
time zone. For
information on Daylight Saving Time (DST), see http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/f.html
and scroll down to
Indiana.
A public dialogue about time zone issues provided some lively discussions. In response to a newspaper columnist's assertions, Chuck Bueter wrote an opinion about the scientific (in)accuracy of some public comments at timezone.htm. An Indiana study questions the merits of DST after Indiana's switch was implemented.
AstroCamp

opportunity is July 27 to August 2, 2008.
