Monday: Council, City Jobs, and Far, Far Away...

Good morning Woonsocket - here are some things to keep in mind during your travels today:

Council - After all the working sessions lately, you might have forgotten the City Council holds regular meetings. They'll be having one of those tonight. One of the last things on the agenda is a motion requesting the appointment of a budget commission. That was one of the less intrusive methods of state intervention mentioned during Robert Flanders talk with residents last month.

City jobs - The Woonsocket Personnel Department is seeking to fill four positions: Water Heavy Equipment Operator, Water Division Meter Reader,  Water Division Meter Foreperson and Fire Alarm Superintendent. Visit the town's web site for full details. The deadline to apply for the positions is May 30.

Claim your listing - Business owners, take control of your listing in Woonsocket Patch's directory. Claiming your listing allows you to update your information, post events, upcoming specials or sales, and respond to customer reviews. Check out this video to see how.

Turn off the sprinklers - You won't be needing artificial watering today. Mother nature will be supplying her own hydration for your yard. Temperatures will reach as high at 64 degrees.

Far, far away - Today in 1980, The Empire Strikes Back premiered, according to brainyhistory.com. Han Solo got iced, Threepio went to pieces, and Vader got Luke's digits. George Lucas and Mattel made a lot of money, too.
