5 THINGS: Mr. Rogers, Article Scheduling and Fun Events

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Tuesday, March 20, 2012:

Town manager’s job is safe, at least for now. The Narragansett Town Council took no formal action on the job of Town Manager at Monday night’s meeting. Although council president Glenna Hagopian brought up what she believed to be budget irregularities, both Grady Miller and fellow councilor Christopher Wilkens fought back against her claims. We will have several stories from Monday’s meeting posted on the site today and tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled for their posting.

Spring into Spring at the Guild! That is literally the event’s name today, so I felt the need to make no further additional pithy comments.

The fun starts at 10 a.m., and for more info, click .

Put down your fiddle and grab your bow, then grab your partner and docey-do! is hosting line dancing for seniors at 10 a.m. The program is free, and line dancing is a great way to increase your metabolism and burn calories. For more info, click .

Feel free to network – We highly encourage it.

Cool story bro. On this day in 235, Maximinus Thrax became the 27^th emperor of the Roman Empire. While he only ruled for about three years, you can’t deny that “Maximinus Thrax” is a wicked cool name for an emperor.

Why hi there neighbor. Today is also the birthday of “Mister” Fred Rogers. He would have been 74 today. Relive some of his awesomeness via YouTube here. (Spoiler: It is of him breakdancing.)
