Get Your Antiques Appraised Tonight

Five things to know today, Thursday, April 4, 2013:

1. Warmer temps return. Sunny with a high near 56 today, according to the National Weather Service. West wind 11 to 15 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon. Tonight, partly cloudy, with a low around 36. Southwest wind 9 to 13 mph.

2. School Committee meets at 7:30 p.m. Among the items on the agenda tonight are an update on the District Boundaries Subcommittee, a Middle School planning update and fiscal 2014 budget update.

3. Antique Appraisal Night at 6 p.m. Join the Stoneham Historical Society for an entertaining evening of Antique Appraisal, much like the popular PBS TV show. A representative from Kaminski Auctioneers of Beverly will be on hand to evaluate items. Dust off that vase that's been in your family for years, a flea market painting or anything else that might be revealed as the rare and highly valuable item of the night. Admission is free but appraisals are $10 donation for each item or $25 for up to three items paid by cash or check. Please note: no stamps, coins or jewelry will be appraised - and rare books are not their specialty.

4. Parkinson's Support Group. The support group for those living with Parkinson's disease or caring for someone with the illness meets the first Thursday of each month, including today, at 1 p.m. at the Stoneham Senior Center.  Call (781) 438-1157 for information.

5. Northeast Metro Tech Budget Subcommittee meets at 7 p.m. On the agenda tonight is a discussion of the fiscal 2014 budget.
