Good morning, Hampton and North Hampton. Here are five things you need to know for Tuesday, March 26:

1. Get Your Stickers: The 2013 North Hampton State Beach stickers are now available for $30 each at the Town Clerk's Office, Town Office, and online at https://www.eb2gov.com/scripts/eb2gov.dll/TownLaunch?towncode=850. A North Hampton car registration is required and should be presented during the sticker purchasing process.

2. Hampton Budget Committee Meeting Tonight: The session, which will include the election of a board chair and vice chair, will begin at 7 p.m. at Town Hall. The meeting was originally scheduled for March 19.

Also, the North Hampton Zoning Board will meet at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall.

4. This Day in History: On this day in 1997, following an anonymous tip, police entered a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, an exclusive suburb of San Diego, Calif., and discover 39 victims of a mass suicide.

The deceased—21 women and 18 men of varying ages—were all found lying peaceably in matching dark clothes and Nike sneakers and had no noticeable signs of blood or trauma.

It was later revealed that the men and women were members of the "Heaven's Gate" religious cult, whose leaders preached that suicide would allow them to leave their bodily "containers" and enter an alien spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet.
