Franklin Art Center Calendar Project Call for Artists
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"I think we’re pretty much staying on top of everything"
“What I was looking for, personally, was to find out how many work orders come across Facilities’ desk in the course of a day, or a week, or a month, or a year, because I really don’t have any idea,” Councilor Thomas Mercer said. “I’d like to know, and I’d like to know how long it takes for each of those to get dealt with.”
The topic came up at last week’s Town Council meeting, when councilors took some time grilling Facilities Department Director Michael D’Angelo, and Facilities Manager Richard Gaskin about various problems — mostly roof leaks — in town buildings.
The discussion touched on leaky roofs and damaged ceiling tiles in the Remington-Jefferson school building and the Senior Center. Some residents have complained that the existing high school is in poor condition due to insufficient maintenance.

This topic was a frequent one during the recent high school building project vote. The issue can be addressed very simply with a regular report on tickets open by category with some status on aging. It can be posted to the website and available for everyone to read.

Deborah Henson-Conant will perform at the Circle of Friends Coffeehouse, 262 Chestnut St., Franklin, on Saturday, May 12, at 8 p.m.
Imagine a harp shrunk to the size of a crossbow. Brushed chrome, with 32 strings, Henson-Conant plugs it in like an electric guitar and pulls sounds from the strings that you never thought could come from a harp: Hendrix-style wails, Flamenco, Blues and lush atmospheric sounds capes.
Singing with a voice that's been compared to Carly Simon and Joan Baez, in one-woman shows that are unified like a collection of musical short-stories. Admission, $25.

Wrentham Police Launch Statewide Click It or Ticket Enforcement
Franklin drivers be aware!

via The Wrentham Times by The Wrentham Times on 5/7/12
The Wrentham Police department in partnership with the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security's (EOPSS) Highway Safety Division (HSD), the State Police and over 120 other local departments, is launching a high-visibility seat belt enforcement mobilization called Click It or Ticket. During the Click It or Ticket mobilization, thousands of extra state and local police will patrol the state's streets and highways in a concerted effort to promote and enforce seat belt use with the ultimate goal of saving lives. Many departments across the state have adopted zero-tolerance policies for seat belt violations signaling the increasing importance of seat belt use. In fact, if pulled over, everyone in the car found not wearing a seat belt will be ticketed.
This Click It or Ticket mobilization runs from May 14th through June 3rd.

"applying it to a real work site"
Eighty-three high school seniors are participating in the senior shadow project this spring — heading out to experience the working world for about a month.
“I would definitely think this project is extremely helpful,” Smith said. “I’m so happy I did it.”
Some of the dozens of sites include the Attleboro Arts Museum, medical manufacturer Zeptometrix Corp., Lakeview Pavilion, Hampton Inn and Dean College.
“I think it provides (students) with real-life world experience,” Franklin-based Byrne Financial Freedom marketing director Carol Donnelly said of the students with whom the company has worked. “We’re not giving them copies to make.”
