5 THINGS: Winnin’ Titles and Thora Birch

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, March 11, 2013:

So hey, some local kids won titles yesterday… You probably heard about Narragansett winning the Division II girls’ basketball title against Prout, since there was/is an obnoxious orange banner on every article. But in the D-I game, La Salle had two locals on their squad as they beat Barrington. Plus, Prout closed out its hockey series and some Narragansett kids took gold in the academic decathlon – We’ll have more on that later.

“You know, warming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you’re a thousand miles from the corn field.” – Dwight Eisenhower. Here are today’s government meetings:

• The Narragansett 125^th Anniversary Planning Committee meets at 3 p.m.
• The Narragansett Sewer Policy Committee meets at 6 p.m.
• The Narragansett Finance Committee and Narragansett Town Council meets at 6:30 p.m. for a work session.
• The South Kingstown Town Council meets at 7:30 p.m., with a work session at 6:45 p.m.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s International Women's Day. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know.

American Beauty was hella weird, but a good movie. Happy 31^st birthday to actress Thora Birch!

On this day in Patch history… Carl Critz did a Patchcast, . I’m envious of it, I truly am.
