In the News: tunnel planning underway for rail trail; school funding revamp looked for; Holiday buffet at Gerry's Place

The tunnel under Prospect Street in Franklin is a critical element in the trail. 
Trail users now have to cross the road and ascend down a steep, dirt path to get back to the path. There are remnants of an old tunnel."

“We’re in the middle of budget season,” Peyser said. “We’re obviously looking at everything and trying to do the best we can.”

"There was no aroma of international favorites wafting through the kitchen at Tri-Country Regional High School just yet. But there was the promise of them. 
On Tuesday afternoon, culinary arts students began some early prep work ahead of The international holiday buffet - a much-anticipated tradition at the school. 
This is the fifteenth year students learning the art of cookery have taken on the task of researching holiday dishes from around the globe and then presenting their finished dishes for the public to enjoy. The buffet will be held at Tri-County’s student-run restaurant, Gerry’s Place, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Thursday."
