Austin Brighton neighbors rallying round the cause of a new community center is wbz's Madison Rodgers City.
Council hearing this week took place inside the crumbling Jackson Mann Community Center. Has dozens of locals called for a plan of action. We've been talking about this for a decade. Councilor Liz Braydon leading the push. This is the second largest neighborhood in the city of Boston. We have one community center that's sort of tottering on the brink. It's been the plan to demolish this building for five years now, and there's been talk about building a new community center
on the site. However, BCYF leaders still aren't able to lay out a timeline. A city spokesperson tells me they're committed to finding a new home for the center in a facility and location that's informed by community input.
Really, I'd just like to see a commitment, like a solid commitment to move this forward expeditiously.

Many bodies are believed to be in underground garages and car parks, trapped as the floodwaters rose. Five hundred more soldiers will arrive today, adding to the seventeen hundred already here. But the authorities are facing severe criticism for a slow response and for failing to warn people of the flooding in advance. Local volunteers have found out across the streets to fill the vacuum, clearing, sweeping, and talking of abandonment.
More than two hundred confirmed dead, the death toll expected to continue to rise. Let's check the four day wbz ACU weather forecast.

One of America's longest running community orchestras is the Melrose Symphony, kicking off its one hundred seventh season tonight.
Conductor Yoichi Utagawa leads this thing.
We're starting off with the music of Beethoven is egmont Overture, which is a very fiery and exciting piece.
They'll follow that up with a piece featuring Melrose native soloist Nicholas Finch. He's been playing cello ever since he was a kid, and he made his debut with the symphony when he was just eighteen years old.
It's a thrill to see these young people.
Develop and just go off and make a name for themselves in the world.
They'll round out the whole thing with a little Tchaikowsky. Hudigawa says the symphony aims to be welcoming to all music fans, from pro violinists for those of us who don't know Beethoven from Bach. They'll even take breaks to talk about the songs and explain what goes into playing them. It's just the Symphony's way of doing things.
The community spirit of the Malow Symphony is, I think something really quite unique and very special.

Army recruiters were losing many candidates because they just barely failed the service's body fat and academic standards. So two years ago, the Army created the Future Soldier Preparatory Course. It helps prospective recruits score higher on the Army's entrance test, lose weight, or both more than ninety percent of participants in the intensive ninety day program have done well enough to be accepted as recruits, and that has allowed the
Army to finally make its recruiting goals. Christopher Cruz, CBS News Washington.
