5 Things, Mar. 5: Pedis, Regies, Sunnies

Pedis: This week's Readers' Choice poll is a 17-way battle for salon supremacy in Johnston. Take our poll on who offers the best pedicure here, and post your comments — but not until your nail polish dries.

Regies: As in "registrations" — I was going for something there. Johnston Parks & Rec opens sign-ups for the Track & Field and the ever-popular T-Ball & Fitness spring programs today at 8:30 a.m. More deets:

• T-Ball: for ages 5 and 6 as of Sept. 1. 2012
• Track & Field: for ages 6 through 14 as of Sept. 1, 2012
• Fees are $40 first child, $25 for additional babysitting — oops, just kidding, Vinny! Coaches rule!
• More info at the JRD website; Phone (401) 272-3460.

Sunnies: Looks like a nice day is on tap. Citation: JohnstonPatch WeatherBug forecast page. Mercury reaches 40+ in daytime, falling to upper teens overnight.

Fill-ups: Hey, you got traffic updates in my cheap gas page! You got your cheap gas page in my traffic updates! Wait — they're two great features that feature great together: The JohnstonPatch Traffic & Gas page. [10 points to the alert reader who recalls the commercial that the set-up is from.]

Playoffs: On this date last year, we had an interview with Johnston High School basketball coach Steve DeMeo in advance of the Panthers' contest against Bishop Hendricken later that night. No spoilers here. Search for Hendricken in our news section and find out, if you have to.
