5 Things To Know Today: May 26

Ruminate: Picking up where I left off yesterday with the "-ate" words, today at Mohr Library there's an Enjoy the 70s activity at 3 p.m. or all teens to learn about the disco years (eek, what they're teaching the kids these days...) There's also a story time scheduled for 2- and 3-year olds at 10 a.m.

Ambulate: That's a fancy word for "walk," and it's what officers from the police department are planning to do today at Memorial Park beginning at 9:30 a.m. It's the 16th year of the JPD Community Walk With Cops program, so get out there and meet Johnston's finest — and get some exercise while you're at it.

Speculate: The senior center hosts Bingo today at 1:15 p.m., and it's the start of their 15 Week Club, which gives players another shot to win multiple prizes, including a weekly $25 jackpot.

Regulate: The Johnston Zoning Board is scheduled to meet tonight at 7 p.m. at the senior center. Learn about potential developments in town — before they develop.

On This Date: Johnny Rutherford became the first racer to win the Indy 500 on May 26 back in 1974, in a time of 3:09.10 at an average speed of 158.589 mph. (from Wikipedia)
