"The Department of Public Works is warning residents that a section of road on Pine Street leading to Bellingham will soon be closed due to construction.
The $55,000 project to replace a culvert pipe will occur over about a three-week period starting Monday, but the road will be closed to public traffic all the way to the Bellingham border.
Deacon Perotta, director of operations at the Franklin DPW, said the repair is necessary to make sure there are no flooding issues in the area.
“We have a road problem there,” he said. “Basically, the culvert underneath the road has become impacted because of its age.”

"People in Franklin could possibly catch a glimpse of stars over the next week or so, and they’re not the ones in the sky.
Town Administrator Jeff Nutting has confirmed that Hollywood is in town finishing up the latest iteration of “Little Women,” due out next December. The secured set is at an undisclosed location in the Forge Park industrial area and is closed to visitors.
One of the stars said to be doing final work on the film is silver screen legend Meryl Streep, who is playing the role of Aunt March in the famous Louisa May Alcott story. Also said to be doing work here is A-lister Emma Watson, who first rose to fame as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies. She plays the role of Meg March.
A producer for the film did not return calls for more information."
"On Thursday, March 29, at 7 p.m. at the First Universalist Society in Franklin (FUSF), 262 Chestnut St., Franklin, the FUSF food group Home Made will screen the documentary “Theater of Life.”
“Theater of Life” is a 2016 Canadian feature-length film written and directed by Peter Svatek about a gourmet soup kitchen created by Italian chef Massimo Bottura and 60 international colleagues, including Mario Batali, Rene Redzepi and Alain Ducasse, using food waste from Expo 2015 in Milan.
The film addresses the issue of food waste and the 1.3 billion tons of food thrown away annually around the world — one-third of all food produced. “Theater of Life” takes pains to study the persistence and perseverance of the disenfranchised while celebrating gastronomic talent."
"Caleb Haven Martin, who attended Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter School in Franklin, died on Wednesday due to injuries he sustained in a car accident on March 17.
Martin, a 19-year-old freshman at the University of Massachusetts–Amherst, died at the Cleveland Clinic in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, according to his obituary. He lived with his family in Senegal, where his parents, William and Katherine Martin, have a ministry.
Martin was driving to UMass after “visiting a friend in Wisconsin when he hit a deer in the highway. As he was calling 911 he was hit by another car from behind. He was taken to a local trauma center in Cleveland with a severe brain injury, and was put into a medically induced coma so his body could heal,” according to a YouCaring page set up in Martin’s honor by Janice Thompson."

"The Support for Addicts and Families through Empowerment (SAFE) coalition is engaging in strategic planning as the anti-substance-abuse group enters its second year.
President James Derick said the coalition has been holding planning sessions over the past several months, looking to set goals for the coming six months, year and three years.
"We've learned a lot," he said. "The first thing is that the community really needs help, and I think we've had some real success in that area."
"Temple Etz Chaim will invite the community to join for S’lichot at 8 p.m. Sept. 24 at the temple building, 900 Washington St., Franklin.
The group will view the Oscar-nominated film “Footnote,” the story of a father and son, both Talmudic scholars. One is beloved and respected; the other is unpopular and ignored. Attendees will see what happens when one receives the honor the other has so desperately sought.
Participants can watch the movie and join the discussion. For information: 508-528-5337."

The presentation, given by new Principal Paul Peri and Deputy Principal William Klements, was part of an overall discussion on school and district improvement plans at the Tuesday night session. The two said the school's plan had several areas in which to grow - social and emotional learning; building climate and culture; and communication were discussed.
According to Klements, the school would be addressing social and emotional well-being through several avenues. He said personnel were collaborating with the district's School Wellness Advisory Council to look at mental health, physical activity and nutrition."

Film Production Company IM Filmworks announces that its most recent film, RIGHT THERE, has been accepted by the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival.
IM filmworks
Producer/Director Nathan Suher says, “RIGHT THERE is a mash-up of several genres. It’s a silent film that on the surface is a light-hearted romantic comedy, but at its core it is also a portrait of unrequited love.” RIGHT THERE may lack dialogue, but it is not lacking sound. Musician/Composer Kevin Keough was brought on to write the score. “Kevin’s score really compliments the overall mood of the film; it’s beautiful, yet bittersweet”.
“It’s an honor to have my film as part of the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival. Being screened with so many other terrific movies gives me a sense of great satisfaction. Knowing that all of the hard work put into this film by our cast and crew is recognized in this important way inspires me to build upon this accomplishment and set loftier goals as a filmmaker,” says Producer/Director Nathan Suher.
RIGHT THERE will be screened at the historic Somerville Theater (55 Davis Square, Somerville, MA) on Wednesday, August 6th at 6:20pm as part of the Block 4 screening group.
For more information about IM Filmworks, Producer/Director Nathan Suher, the movie ‘RIGHT THERE’, and for tickets to the event visit www.imfilmworks.com or www.facebook.com/imfilmworks
