The first few sets of answers have already come in for the 2003 "Questions to the Candidates". We'll continue to accept responses up until the election.

The Saugus Chamber of Commerce site was updated today.

The Saugus Historical Commission site was updated today to reflect the recent destruction of some historical properties and the recent addition of the Breakheart Reservation Parkways to the National Register.

We noticed a typo today that apparently caused error messages to appear on some versions of the MSIE browser, and of course we fixed it right away. Remember that if you ever see any sorts of error messages here on Saugus.net, let us know what the messages are and what sort of browser you're using, and we'll get it fixed. We're only human and are bound to make mistakes from time to time, but we'll always endeavor to fix them quickly.

The 2003 "Questions to the Candidates" is now up and running. Please remember that the candidates' participation is voluntary, and that they themselves are just seeing the questions for the first time and so it will take them a little while to answer.

We've implemented some optimizations to Saugus.net over the weekend. Of particular note is that we now utilize on-the-fly compression for newer browsers that can support it; there should be a significant speed increase (especially for those with slower connections).

We'll be starting this year's "Questions to the Candidates" soon. If you have any questions you'd like us to ask, please send us some feedback or a FAX sometime this weekend.

The Guide to Free Software was updated today.

The Saugus High School Alumni site was updated today.

Photographs taken at Founders' Day this past Saturday (and the answers to the trivia questions) have been posted.

The Founders' Day Trivia Questions are now available, so be sure to look them over before coming to Founders' Day. Remember, there's just one winner per question, so if you think one is easy, others may, too...

This is just a reminder that some of the questions on our annual Founders' Day Trivia Contest can be solved easily online, so remember to check out the questions before going to Founders' Day. We'll be posting them sometime in the early AM.

The details of our sixth annual Halloween Ghost Story Contest are now online.

We've posted the details for this year's Founders' Day trivia contest. The questions themselves haven't been posted yet; they'll be posted shortly before Founders' Day.

The Saugus Board of Selectmen has asked us to mention that they are accepting application for appointment to the Saugus Cultural Arts Council (these are nonpaid volunteer positions). For more information, you may contact the Selectmen's Office at 781-231-4124.

Some pictures from Saturday's parade and celebration honoring the Saugus American Little League Team have been posted.

Some information has been posted about the upcoming Founders Day (including about the Saugus American Little League Team's participation in it). Plus, while we're on the topic of the Saugus American Little League Team, don't forget that (as posted in the Saugus Community Events Calendar) there will be a parade in their honor tomorrow morning.

As per usual with local elections, we'll be holding a "Questions to the Candidates" event. If you have any questions you'd like us to ask, send us some feedback or a FAX, or speak with us at Founders' Day.

The Saugus High School Alumni Association site was updated today with new reunion pictures.

It's been quite awhile since the last update on the Saugus SETI team has been posted here. Saugus area machines have already contributed over 2600 results, utilizing over six years' worth of CPU time that would have otherwise been wasted. New participants are of course still welcome.

The office will be closed for the holiday. However, the Community Events Calendar, Yard Sales Calendar, and other like pages will continue to be updated.
