1) The water's clear and innocent:  Partly sunny today, with a high near 74. Southeast wind between 7 and 11 mph. Tonight, partly cloudy, with a low around 55. South wind between 7 and 9 mph. (Forecast by the National Weather Service.)

2) He's probably getting ready to take off in the Sopwith Camel on the next dawn patrol: The public is invited to MVMMS. The production is in honor of Courtney Elyse Beauchesne.

3) You've got to take direction! You've got to have discipline! You've got to have respect for your director! Auditions for Wakefield Repertory Youth Theatre's The Prince and the Pauper will be held at Wakefield-Lynnfield United Methodist Church at 273 Vernon St. in Wakefield , with callbacks on Thursday, June 14 at 4 p.m. All students are encouraged to audition. No prior theater experience is necessary. Any student who auditions and wishes to participate in the production will be cast.

4) Last night I took a walk in the dark to a place called Palisades Park: The Melrose Park Commission meets tonight at 7 p.m.
