1) Brrrrrr: Oh OK, we’re teasing. But, really, after last week today is going to be downright chilly! Our weather will be much more March-like, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures will be in the low-50s and it will be sunny and breezy.

2) Innovation grant: The city is the recipient of a state Community Innovation grant worth $373,000. As part of the grant, the city will research and develop standards in serving the public efficiently.

 

3) Event spotlight: will hold a fundraiser tonight for the Eastern Mass Senators hockey team. The team has several Woburn ties, including four players from the Wu (Jeremy Flibotte, Marc Desantis, DJ George and Bryan Daly). The team is coached by Phil Bracey of Woburn, assistants Mike Bonish and Scott Campbell, both of Woburn. If you want to support the team, and help them raise money for a trip to the USA Hockey National Tournament, head over to Scoreboard between 5 and 9 p.m. tonight.

 

4) In case you missed it: A local business with a facility in Connecticut was recently fined by the Occupational Safety and Health administration.

 

5) Looking for Hale-Bopp: On this day in 1997, authorities entered a home in Rancho Santa Fe and found 39 men and women dead. Members of the ‘Heaven’s Gate’ cult committed mass suicide by drinking vodka/phenobarbital in an attempt to leave their bodies, which they believed were just containers, and enter an alien spacecraft behind the Hale-Bopp comet. Heaven’s Gate goes back to the early 1970s, but realized increased popularity in the mid-90s with the discovery of the Hale-Bopp comet.
