You're probably already aware of this, but there is a snow emergency in effect in Saugus and most of the surrounding towns due to the storm. To facilitate the work of the snow plows, cars should not be parked on the streets (and in fact cars on the streets may be ticketed).

We've added a couple more links on the News sources page recently.

Although we usually don't update the "dailies" here on Saturday, we wanted to remind everyone about the benefit rock concert in Saugus tonight (as detailed in the Community Event Calendar). This concert features some of the best local talent and will include performances ranging from ska to alterna-metal in style. All proceeds will go to the Make-A-Wish foundation in memory of Daniel Ludwig, the former Saugus High School student (and local bass player) who heroically saved his younger sister from drowning this past summer but tragically gave his own life in the process. Support your local music scene and a great cause at the same time. Saugus.net will be there, and we'll be giving away a few T-shirts. Doors will open at 5:30 (the opening band will start performing around 5:45), but capacity is limited and the event is expected to sell out well before it ends at 10:00 tonight, so people are advised to get there early.

We've updated the Government page to include a section for county government (that currently contains just one entry). If anyone knows of any other important Essex County government sites that we're missing, please let us know.

The offices here will be closed today for the holiday, but we'll still be updating the Community Event Calendar with events received via its online form. Likewise the survey will continue to run normally throughout the day and up through the end of the month (on a related note, those interested in the survey may also want to check out the grassroots refund effort planned for today -- some people may rightfully have $50 - $200 due back to them from their original computer purchase, but they won't get it unless they make the request).

The non-profit organization Vision House is now online. A permanent link has been added to it on the Organizations page. Vision House works to provide cognitive, psychosocial, prevocational, and vocational rehabilitation services for area adult survivors of Acquired Brain Injury.

There's a new survey up and running today. This one concerns the other big trial going on right now. Although not as well covered by the media as the impeachment trial, the Microsoft trial has already featured arguably more interesting courtroom theatrics ranging from withering cross-examination by both sides to apparently doctored video "evidence" on the part of the defendent.

On the surface, just the usuals were updated today. We've been hard at work in the background though, and next week expect one or two more Saugus town commissions, committees, boards, departments, etc. and one more local non-profit group to come online. Perhaps there will be even more...
