5 Things: Town Deliberative Session is Wednesday

Here are five things you should know as you start your week.

1. Nominate your neighbor. Do you know someone doing something pretty great in town? We're looking to share stories about the people doing interesting, creative and wonderful things and we want to know whose story we should tell next. Send your nominations to carolyn.dube@patch.com.

3. What a season! Congratulations to the Merrimack High School varsity boys hockey team for an incredible season. 16-2 on the regular season and runners up for the Div. II state title is quite the feat. You've made Merrimack proud.

4. This Day in History : On this day in 1997, Paul McCartney, a former member of the most successful rock band in history, The Beatles, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his "services to music." The 54-year-old lad from Liverpool became Sir Paul in a centuries-old ceremony of pomp and solemnity at Buckingham Palace in central London. Fans waited outside in a scene reminiscent of Beatlemania of the 1960s. Crowds screamed as McCartney swept through the gates in his chauffeur-driven limousine and he answered with a thumbs-up.

5. Weather watch. Spring is in the air. Though the cold is coming back toward the end of the week, the next couple days are looking to be quite nice, today in particular. Patchy fog before 9 a.m., otherwise, partly sunny with a high near 52. Tonight, a chance of showers expected mainly after 4 a.m., otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a low around 37.
