5 Things to Know Today, October 9

Good morning, everyone. I normally do this on Mondays, but the weekend was pretty hectic, and I never got the chance. Anyway, here's five things to know today.

1. The Easton Area School Board has its committee meetings tonight at 6. On the agenda: a look at a district-based cyber school.

2. Easton City Council holds its regular meetings this week: a regular meeting Wednesday at 6 p.m., and committee meetings tonight, also at 6, at City Hall. Councilman Jeff Warren has said he wants to use this committee meeting to discuss the idea of cracking down on "lazy double parking."

3. Easton's Holy Temple Ministry holds a health fair today from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. Learn about diabetes and heart health, get healthy eating tips, and -- if you're early enough -- get a free flu shot from Sacred Heart Hospital.

4. Are you interested in blogging for us? You can write about virtually anything. Here's a quick primer on how to get started.

5. Today is Oct. 9. Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth Guillermo del Toro and musician P. J. Harvey both have birthdays today.
