“We may fail but we don’t want them to fail”

Hidden in a shopping complex in downtown Franklin is a boutique full of one-of-a-kind clothing, jewelry and gift items. But despite its small, local atmosphere, the store has roots on the other side of world in India, Indonesia and Thailand. 

Hema Chockalingam started Eco Embrace two years ago, after leaving a career in information technology. Her business works with artisans rural communities, mostly in India, to bring natural, handmade items to the United States. 

Items range from bangles made of semi-precious stones in Thailand, beaded necklaces with large pendants which is entirely handmade - even the beads. She even sells notepads made of animal poop. 

“Most of the items are one of a kind. When you come here it’s always a discovery,” said Chockalingam.

5 Reasons You Should Check Your Credit Report Right Now

From the MA Consumer Affairs Blog they have a recent post on why you should get one of your free annual credit reports.

1. "Spot Identity Theft
2. Correct Inaccuracies
3. Know Your Credit History
4. Plan For Your Future
5. You Can Get It For Free"

You can read the full posting here
http://blog.mass.gov/consumer/massconsumer/5-reasons-you-should-check-your-credit-report-right-now/

MA Consumer Affairs Blog

You can get your credit report free once per year from each of the three major credit reporting companies at www.annualcreditreport.com. If you are a victim of identity theft, get a second free copy by contacting the credit reporting companies.

Consider this:

There are three credit report companies and you can get a free report every year from each. One way to manage your credit is to request one per quarter. 

January 1 - request from Experian
April 1 - request from TransUnion
July 1 -  request from Equifax

So for a few minutes each quarter, three times a year, you know what is up and you can take timely action. Alternatively, you could request all three at once and then wait a full year to request the free one again.

“To prevent measles from spreading with herd immunity, you need 90-95 percent of people vaccinated"

"After a Disneyland measles outbreak last year sickened people with a disease typically associated with years long gone, the California legislature put a stop to the personal belief vaccine exemption that allowed parents to refuse immunization for their children on the grounds they disagreed with the requirement or questioned the need or safety of the vaccine. 

With the return of a disease once thought eradicated in the U.S., a Massachusetts bill is now moving to bring in what California just ruled out. 

Federal and state laws mandate all children must be vaccinated to enter school, with some exceptions. In Massachusetts, parents can opt their children out or delay vaccination for only medical or religious reasons. A bill proposed by Joan Lovely, D-Salem, on behalf of a constituent, would add personal belief exemptions to state law."

Pond St community takes exception to Councilor comments

Several members of the Pond St community took the opportunity to make their presence and feelings known at the Town Council meeting on Wednesday. During the Citizen Comment portion of the meeting, they made and reiterated several points that they believe some of the Councilors continue to forget.

Why take this action? As reported, the recent Economic Development Committee (EDC) meeting was conducted on Monday, July 27th beginning at 5:00 PM which is not exactly a convenient time for most working folks. To have some of the EDC members state something to the effect that 'since the community didn't bother to show up, they must not be too concerned about what's happening.'

As this comment has been made previously, and objected to as well, the Pond St community members took turns stating their case: 

• They are united in objection to any development that will increase traffic. 
• The traffic in that area is already a problem (text notes from 3/25/15 meeting or audio recording of same meeting). 
• They understand and appreciate the need for revenue but also want to keep the neighborhood family friendly.
• When one or two of the group show up, they are representing the group. Not all of the group can show up for all of the meetings.
• They are willing to work with the condo proposal and would not want to see a new RFP for a hotel.

The EDC committee contributes to the problem by not being explicit about their intentions. They don't publish minutes of their meetings. They don't spend a few minutes explaining the process which would save them time in the long run (not everyone knows their process). Further, to have a Town Councilor state that the Town Council is not aware of the RFP responses (while technically correct) is stretching it as the EDC is officially made up of four Town Councilors and other Councilors tend to participate in the meetings. 

The EDC is a subcommittee of the Town Council. It will review and make a recommendation to the Council. The Town Council then as a whole will have an opportunity to discuss the matter before making a decision. Depending upon the nature of the discussion and decision to be made a public hearing made be required, or it may simply be an agenda item on a regular Council meeting. If the public hearing is required, there are notification requirements to be met.

Is the EDC really going back out with a new RFP? Was one of the developers asked to redo their proposal? It would be good to know. We'll find out some day if and when the minutes of the meeting are published. I do know experience that if it is the intent to go back out with a new RFP, that would require both an EDC vote and a Town Council vote. The Council met for the only time in August this Wednesday which means if there is to be a return, it won't happen anytime soon. 

The timing of the discussion and potential decisions also makes it highly likely that this sitting Council will not have the final say on the Pond St property. That would fall to the new Council decided on by the voters in the November election.

In other matters covered during the Wednesday meeting:

• The rezoning for Dean Ave had its first public hearing. This seems to be a good move despite the convoluted and confusing answer I received about the potential tax revenue implications of the change from commercial to residential. I'll need to watch the video recording when it is posted (as of Saturday morning (8/8/15 - 7:00 AM), it was not yet made available).
• The manager of the liquor license for Incontro  was acknowledged as changed. 
• The Town Council approved a measure that will be on the November ballot asking the Franklin voters to approve NOT taxing farm animals and equipment. Apparently, the Town has neglected to do so for 25 years and in order to be compliant and officially not tax, they need the voters approval. If we fail to approve, it will cost more to implement the tax than the revenue would be received from it.
• There was an update on the Community Opportunity Grant which will enable some funds for refurbishment of homes for folks who meet the income qualifications.
• Town Clerk Debbie Pellegri provided an update on the timeline and process running up to the Town Election on November 3rd.
• The purchase of the building and land at 275 Beaver was completed. An eminent domain process was also initiated to ensure the town has full and clear rights to the land for the records. Renovation of the building has begun. The funds for the sale of the building were the proceeds from the sale of Emmons St and other 'open space' funds available to Franklin.

"Franklin Liquors was voted the Readers Choice for Best Liquor Store in Franklin"

State Sen. Richard Ross recently visited Franklin Liquors, a family-owned business that has been providing high-grade wine, beer and liquor products to its customers for over 30 years. 

Franklin Liquors is run by lifelong Franklin residents Mark and Mike Lenzi. In 2014 and 2015, Franklin Liquors was voted the Readers Choice for Best Liquor Store in Franklin and the 16 town region. 

“With a strong online presence and an emphasis on wine education, Franklin Liquors has consistently redefined what it means to shop smartly and locally,” said Ross. “Over the past three decades, Mark and Mike have taken their business and expanded, making it not just a great place to buy fine wine, but a place to discuss, learn and grow as a community. “

News from Norfolk County Registry of Deeds

	Norfolk County Registry of Deeds
	Register O'Donnell Sees Continued Improvement in Norfolk County Real Estate Market Pointing to statistics that showed both increases in real estate sales and mortgage financing for the past month of July, Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell reported that the Norfolk County real estate market is continuing to move in the right direction. Register O'Donnell noted, "For the month of July, the total number of deeds recorded increased 9% compared to July of 2014. I believe these results stem from an improved economy and buyers eager to invest in Norfolk County real estate." Elaborating further, O'Donnell stated, "The total dollar volume of residential and commercial real estate sales increased by 13% to $1.08 billion and the average sale price of property increased a modest 3% to $752,941." Other positive Norfolk County real estate trends that continued in July 2015, as compared to the previous July, was the performance of the mortgage market, as 2,948 mortgages were recorded, a 13% increase, along with a 25% rise in mortgage financing. "Homeowners continue to take advantage of improved equity in their properties along with low interest rates to obtain financing for home improvements, family educational expenses and other critical needs," noted the Register. One continuing cause for concern, however in Norfolk County, was foreclosures. A total of 22 foreclosure deeds were filed during July, a 38% increase from July, 2014. "This increase was the result of lending institutions continuing to work through a backlog of foreclosures resulting from the economic downturn of 2008. Another sobering figure was the 65 notices to foreclose filed in July 2015 compared to 50 recorded in the previous July. Notice to Foreclose Mortgage is the first step in the foreclosure process. These numbers remind us that some of our neighbors continue to face financial challenges," said O'Donnell. The Registry continues to partner with Quincy Community Action Programs at (617) 479-8181 x-376 and Neighbor Works Southern Mass at (508) 598-0950 to help anyone who has received a Notice to Foreclose from a lender. Another option for homeowners is to call the Massachusetts Attorney General's HomeCorps program at (617) 573-5333. On the consumer front, homestead recording activity increased 11% in July compared to one year ago. Homestead recording provides for limited protection against the forced sale of an individual's primary residence to satisfy unsecured debt up to $500,000. Register O'Donnell concluded, "There is no question July 2015 was a solid month for real estate activity in Norfolk County. An improved economy, eager buyers and low interest rates were all key components that drove the market. However, two points of caution: I agree with industry observers who have stated the need for increased housing inventory to sustain real estate growth and I also continue to be concerned about the potential negative impact on real estate activity of the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates."

Gov. Charlie Baker on Thursday morning signed into law the bill suspending the state's 6.25 percent sales tax for most purchases that weekend. 

"This tax-free weekend is not only an opportunity to save a few dollars for consumers, but it's also an opportunity for people to buy local and keep more business here in the Commonwealth," Baker said, citing a Retailers Association of Massachusetts report that showed the sale tax holiday boosts retail by over $100 million. 

The sales tax will still apply to sales of telecommunications items, tobacco products, motor vehicles, motorboats, gasoline, electricity, meals and items priced at more than $2,500.
