Franklin TV: Book!

We all have one within us. Is it time to let yours out? 

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 05/18/2025

There lies within each of us, a book. At least one book. Perhaps more aptly stated, a story. A larger, longer story – comprised of smaller, shorter stories, reduced to chapter and verse.

With a touch of eloquence we might describe stark examples - notably obvious events, circumstances, outcomes realized - as being 'writ large'. Conversely, could the chronicling of our personal stories – our lives be described when reduced to text – as being writ small? Not really.

For to write about what we know is where most writing begins, and what we know best is what we have lived. Our life experiences – memories - all of them - are not for nothing. They're worth something. That said, they're worth so much more when they're written down. They can come alive again on the page.

If you want to explore the notion of writing, (and we hope that you do), consider joining our Senior Center Writers – goodly group. You don't have to write anything immediately. You can just hang out with us as you explore what's possible; get the gist. Ask for some guidance on your ideas, style and what-not. You'll be among supportive friends who can help you get started.

Consider that at family holiday gatherings you've probably already narrated most of a pretty good book by just reliving those old family stories. We all have 'em. You know the ones that end with someone at the table embarrassed while everyone else is chuckling as voices chime in with,

"What were you thinking?"

"Did ya really think those pants were gonna stay up by themselves?"

Yeah, those stories.

Stories that are always fun to revisit, to retell – and to write about. That's your easy 'on-ramp' - a fun first step to becoming a writer.

And – as always –
Thank you for watching. 
Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm.
And staying informed at Franklin●news.

School Committee gets update on traffic study (consider the bus a good alternative) (Audio)

FM #1451 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1451 in the series. 


This session shares the Franklin (MA) School Committee meeting held on Tuesday, May 13, 2025. 7 members participated, 6 in Council Chambers, 1 remote (Gallagher). 


The audio for the meeting leaves out the approx 30 minute executive session that the committee spent on negotiation strategy. A brief sound bit highlights the gavel to go into and then the gavel is heard again as they return.  


Quick recap:

Recognition of the FHS student Theater group


Presentation update on the traffic study and mitigation efforts underway

  • Link to presentation in the notes section below 

  • NO projects to address the traffic flow will be completed before the Sep 2025-2026 school year.

  • Currently the traffic queues will more than double in September

  • Alternatives are being reviewed before making decisions on which projects would be beneficial for traffic as well as at minimal expense

  • Additional updates will be sent to families during the summer by the respective school principals

  • “It is not going to be perfect on day 1”


BICO Board Appointment 2025-26

ACCEPT Board Appointment 2025-26

Both positions were approved to be fulfilled by Supt Gigeure in a 7-0 vote via roll call


Discussion Only Item

Horace Mann

  • Question/option to ask "How do we as a district choose to honor Horace Mann?"; Campus is one way, are there others? We also need the community to embrace Horace Mann not just the schools

  • Seeming to get consensus on campus and collaboration with others but recognize the need to give them a clear direction and objectives to return with a plan to implement


Superintendent’s Evaluation - Presentation of Evidence

  • In a new flip book format

  • Subcommittee to coordinate feedback from full committee for a future discussion item

FHS girls & boys lacrosse teams post wins on Friday (video)

Via Twitter, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Spring sports competition for Franklin High School on Friday, May 16, 2025


Baseball = Franklin, 3 @ King Philip, 4 – Final 
– Franklin tied the game in the top of the seventh inning to keep the contest going but King Philip senior Aiden Astorino delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom half as the Warriors walked off with a win to keep their division title hopes alive. Jack Sullivan hit one deep enough to right field to bring home courtesy runner James Amaru (who was running for DJ Silverstein after his leadoff single) with a sac fly to make it 3-3. In the bottom half, Johnny Prater reached on a fielder’s choice, moved to second after Leo Dowling was hit by a pitch, and then an intentional walk to Drew Herlin loaded the bases and set the table for Astorino. The senior sent one to the gap in left field to bring in the game-winning run. Ryan Burns went 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Warriors, while both Tommy Gately and Vinny Menendez had a double. Nate Pennini was charged with three runs (two earned) on eight hits, no walks, and seven strikeouts; Jacoby Cady got the final two outs of the seventh for the win. Sullivan and Patrick Luizzi (RBI) each had two hits for the Panthers.

Boys Lacrosse = Franklin, 8 vs. St. John’s Shrewsbury, 6 – Final 
– Franklin pitched a fourth quarter shutout to prevail from a tight battle with St. John’s Shrewsbury with an 8-6 victory. The Panthers had a slight lead after one (2-1), it was tied at halftime (5-5), and Franklin went back ahead by one (7-6) going into the fourth. Sophomores Nate Walsh and Charlie Ballarino each recorded a hat trick to pace the Panthers’ offense. Seniors Jack O’Connor (assist) and Jack Fairweather each scored once, Ryder Hanchett added an assist, and Sam Freedman made nine saves in the cage.

Girls Lacrosse = Franklin, 14 @ Natick, 2 – Final 
– Franklin rolled on the road against a potential playoff foe, taking down Natick, 14-2. The Panthers’ senior captains led the charge: Sophia Sacchetti scored two goals and had four assists, Julia Flynn found the back of the net five times, and Maeve Grasso anchored a shutdown defensive effort. Freshman Ruby Risgin chipped in with a goal, and senior Maisie Streeseman made seven saves in net to secure the win.
