Sept. 30, 2014 – Daily Brief

By Josh Premako

  • A Library for Saugus: The city is hosting a public meeting at the Newhall library tonight on the topic of a new library branch for Saugus. KHTS
  • Desperately Seeking a Trolley Pun: The city's folksy hometown trolley keeps rolling, with rider numbers up over last year. (Fun fact: I once spent several hours on that trolley for The Signal's holiday light tour. Those seats are not built for comfort over several hours.) City Briefs
  • Maybe He Did, Maybe He Didn't: 59 years ago today, James Dean had his last meal, apple pie and milk, at long-gone Tip's in the SCV. Or maybe he didn't. It's one of the SCV's enduring urban legends. One thing is true, on this day in 1955, Hollywood lost a young, talented actor with much promise. SCVHistory
  • Writer Feeling Blue After Rimes Concert: A writer for the Jewish Journal blogged that she was asked to leave the Leann Rimes concert at the COC arts center last weekend, with officials reportedly telling her she was a safety concern. Judging by her blog she's not particularly a fan (in a post earlier this year she referred to Rimes as "a stupid, spiteful, idiotic, whore"), so it's a bit unclear why she bought a ticket in the first place. KHTS
  • Doing Some Good: The Domestic Violence Center of SCV trained a new group of advocates and counselors over the weekend. The center will offer the training again in February, and aims to equip those who want to help domestic violence victims. KHTS
  • Let's Hope It Doesn't Get Worse: The state has exhausted its firefighting budget and is shifting funds around. Can we all hope to get through fall without a flare-up? The Signal
  • Symposium to Focus on Drug Abuse: Responding to a continued scourge of heroin, meth and prescription drug abuse in the SCV, Action Family Counseling is hosting a "Drugs Kill" symposium at COC this week. KHTS
  • Did He Call Himself a Lame Duck?: Soon-to-retire Congressman Howard "Buck" McKeon agreed with John Boehner that Congressional votes on military action against ISIS should happen after the November elections. Newsmax
  • We Have a Problem: "The recent challenges of ISIS, immigration, the Ray Rice debacle, and a host of other problems have brought to light at least one common denominator. We are quietly becoming a nation where we don’t know what to do. We don’t know how to respond." David Hegg once again knocks it out of the park. The Signal
