Daily Five: Change Of Command

Five things to know for July 10

1. You might want to crank up the humidifier today, as humidity hits 62 percent in the morning and 85 percent in the evening. None of it falls out of the sky just yet, as it remains a partly cloudy day with a high temperature of 78 degrees. Sunrise is 5:25 a.m., sunset is 8:23 p.m.

2. The Coast Guard barque Eagle has a change in command today. Capt. Eric Jones, who oversaw the training ship’s , will be relieved by Capt. Raymond “Wes” Pulver, who is currently the Coast Guard’s spokesman for Congress. Jones will become the assistant superintendent of the .

3. Some advice from on Friday: “The most important thing you will ever hear from us is to please watch your kids, especially near the water. Thanks to our lifeguards and other staff, we have been able to reunite many lost parents with their children this week. It can happen real fast so please watch those kids.”

4. While you’re keeping an eye on the kids, you can keep an eye on the movie screen as well. The beach’s movie series continues tonight with Megamind, airing at sunset. Parking is $5, and be sure to bring a beach blanket.

5. Wyoming turns 122 years old today. The territory was organized in 1869 and became the first place in the country to allow women to vote. This helped boost the number of votes needed for the territory to be admitted as a state, a distinction which happened in 1890.

The mayor and council president will lie and cheat to protect the mayor's unqualified and dishonestRead More people. The council and the council leadership is supposed to act as a check and balance in this new form of government. Mr. Smith is one of those dishonest people. It is sad that this person can be so dishonest and that the so called leaders in the community back the dishonest person rather than standing up for the taxpayers and people that really do live here and pay taxes. As a finance director Mr. Smith knows the importance of the proper tax town for vehicles, so he cannot claim ignorance. Is he is breaking the law because the taxes in Windham are lower or because he truly lives in Windham?
