Every fall, the dark hour at morn beckons sleepy heads to stay abed.</p><p>But starting tomorrow morning, you'll return to nature's normal clock with Daylight Saving Time ushered off stage for another year.</p><p>Revelers who party too much at Fantasy Fest get an extra "witching" hour, since the time change occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday, when the clocks fall back to 1 a.m.</p><p>Of course, for those who are not able to burn the midnight oil, the time change means an extra hour to sleep in Sunday morning.</p><p>With Fantasy Fest drawing lots of visitors to the Keys this weekend, we remind everyone to drive safely, especially tonight, when kids in most of the Keys celebrate Halloween the traditional way, with trick or treating.</p><p>In Key West, to avoid the crush, city officials have urged parents to postpone trick or treating until Monday evening. But it's not clear how many kids (or parents, for that matter) will heed that caution. No matter. In all cases, when you see kids out and about, slow down.</p><p>This is especially important in Key West, which has more schools than the rest of the Keys combined. And Key West attracts more drivers from out of town who may be unfamiliar with our streets and with speed limits.</p><p>You can help by simply slowing down yourself. Often a driver with out-of-state plates will be speeding along until they see a local slowing down to 20 mph.</p><p>They begin rubbernecking and hopefully drop their speed, which proves safety can come by example.</p><p>This applies to those who imbibe. If you do drink, don't drive. Call a cab, have a designated driver and don't let a friend drive drunk.</p><p>It's a simple rule and can save a life -- yours or someone else's.</p><p>A timeout, please</p><p>For those who missed the high-decibel antics at this week's Monroe County School Board meeting, check out www.KeysNet.com's video that captures what happened.</p><p>Three score teachers spoke out about raises and seniority pay increases. Many spoke with passion and conviction and honest pleas for help during tough economic times.</p><p>Too bad United Teachers of Monroe President Leon Fowler resorted to boorish behavior, yelling at School Board member John Dick and Chairman Andy Griffiths. Fowler even harrumphed his way in a walkout from the televised board meeting.</p><p>Only a handful of the 100-plus teachers there to plead their case followed him out the door.</p><p>That says much about the way Fowler has politicized this year's negotiations over salaries. And it does not portray teachers or their cause in a very good light.</p><p>Hopefully, Superintendent Joseph Burke can calm the roiled waters and bring everyone safely to shore without all the theatrics that demean the teachers' cause.
