5 THINGS: Back to the Grind

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, July 9, 2012:

District 3 Little League championship game today (again)! The South Kingstown National 9 and 10-year-old team suffered its first loss of the bracket yesterday, 7-5, against Coventry American. However, they’ll get another chance to advance to the tournament finals today, in a rematch with Coventry. The game is on Wood Street in Coventry at 5:30 p.m. Several previous games were covered in a previous Five Things . Other results and scheduled games:

• In the 11-year-old bracket, SK American hosts Exeter-West Greenwich at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. SK National plays at Warwick West Side at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. Narragansett plays at East Greenwich at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
• In the 12-year-old bracket, Narragansett plays at Wickford at 6:30 p.m. Monday. This is an elimination game for Narragansett. SK National and American were eliminated in earlier games.
• In the 10-year-old softball bracket, South Kingstown lost on Saturday afternoon to Westerly, which eliminated them from the playoffs.

Get up to date on that gal Goldilocks, and that swingin’ cat, Red Robin Hood. The Peace Dale Library has a storytime program for preschool kids every Monday at 10:30 a.m. It’s free! For more info, click .

Check out some wonderful photography. Downstairs in the Courthouse Center for the Arts, that is. The of Onne van der Wal is free to view. The galleries are open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Pick-up ball. There is for adults 35+ at Peace Dale Elementary School from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The cost is $5.

To paraphrase Chicago, “Monday, in the park.” Free weekly concerts at Marina Park start tonight at 6:30 p.m. For more info, click . The Wakefield Civic Band, under the direction of Mr. Barry Liebermann, is scheduled to perform.

I’m positive there were absolutely no drugs involved. On this day in 1962, Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans exhibit opened up.

Nobody can take the NBA on NBC theme from you – nobody. Happy 60^th birthday to John Tesh! And as the tagline implies, yes, he did compose that theme.
