Good morning, Medford. Here's five things to know today:

: The city council held a special meeting yesterday to talk crime activity with Police Chief Leo Sacco, who told them the department is badly understaffed, but more manpower wouldn't have prevented the three recent unconnected killings.

: The Mustangs tournament hopes came to a crashing halt last night, as they were blown out by Lincoln Sudbur, 74-44, in the first round of playoff action.

Speakers will include Michele Biscoe, Fells Dog Group; Heather Clish, Appalachian Mountain Club; Tom Grimble, New England Mountain Bike Association; and Mike Ryan, Friends of the Middlesex Fells Reservation.
