LET'S LAUGH TODAY in Franklin is on Tuesday, Nov 12
Let’s Laugh Today in Franklin is on Tuesday, November 12th (and every second Tuesday once a month) from 7:30pm to 8:30pm at the Meetinghouse of the First Universalist Society in Franklin, 262 Chestnut Street, Franklin, Massachusetts.
Enjoy this delightful practice, appropriate for all ages and levels of fitness. When we laugh, we energize our bodies and revive our spirits. All that is involved is deep breathing and a few stretches, playful laughter exercises (no jokes or comedy), clapping and deep relaxation.
It has many benefits besides the joy of laughter. It can strengthen the immune system, combat the negative effects of stress, and is a powerful antidote to depression and anxiety.
$5 donation to the church, $10 maximum per family. Please bring your water bottle because laughing can be dehydrating.
Led by Certified Laughter Yoga Master Trainers and Laughter Ambassadors, Linda and Bill Hamaker. See www.letslaughtoday.com for opportunities to laugh in other towns. If you have any questions, just call Hamakers at 508-660-2223 or e-mail billandlinda@letslaughtoday.com.

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
"A Franklin company has won a $36 million contract to overhaul the Natick Center rail station.Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
The MBTA Control Board on Monday awarded the contract for the project to Daniel O’Connell’s Sons Inc.

"Following Tuesday’s biennial town election, continuity is the word for the Town Council, with all seven of the incumbents who sought re-election successfully retaining their seats on the nine-member panel.
And for the School Committee, change is the name of the game, though with just two of seven incumbents throwing their hats into the ring for another term, that was expected.
In the only other race on the ballot, voters retained all three of the town’s incumbent constables.
A total of 3,851 voters turned out at the polls at Franklin Hight School to cast ballots -- the figure represents about 15 percent of the town’s registered voters."

"Reconstructing History and Genealogy: Mom's WWII Letters" - Nov 10
Join us for our next installment of our SECOND SUNDAY SPEAKER SERIES, Sunday November 10 = "Reconstructing History and Genealogy: Mom's WWII Letters"
The discovery of more than 100 letters and correspondence from WWII brought unexpected insights and connections for Corinne Smith.
In May 2017, she found her mother's stash of letters from 16 servicemen that she had corresponded with in 1944-1945. Most of the men were from her mother's hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania, or from her college roommate's hometown of Trenton, New Jersey. Nearly all of the writers were now gone and could no longer offer information or explanations for what they had written. Corinne began to trace the soldiers' family trees with one goal in mind: to return the letters in person to their children.
Learn about her on-going project, and hear some of the stories of the men, their experiences, and what their relatives have to say today. This presentation links history and genealogy to present-day research and diligence. It revisits a time that we may not want to forget. And it may prompt audience members to wonder for themselves what treasures may be lurking in their own old family boxes -- and how they can share the information with others.
This is a 90 minute presentation with slides. The museum opens at 1:00 and the presentation begins at 1:10. Admission is free.
Please consider bringing a non-perishable food item for the Franklin Food Pantry. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Franklin Historical Museum. Our gift shop is open and Franklin Common Gazebo ornaments are available while they last.

Ryan Lanigan, founder and Editor-in-Chief of HockomockSports.com, provides the game recap:
“Big girl soccer.”
That was just one of many positive mantras Scott Dolan was known for, and it was the perfect way to describe Monday evening’s clash between #8 Oliver Ames and #9 Franklin.
Eighty minutes wasn’t enough to decide the physical contest between the two league rivals, with neither team willing to give an inch.
But finally, in the 89th minute, OA sophomore Allison Evin delivered the game-winner with a perfectly struck shot to the far post, just sneaking inside the far post into the side netting to give the Tigers a 1-0 emotional overtime win over the Panthers.
“I felt like we could score one goal we had a chance,” said Oliver Ames head coach Britt Sellmayer. “The last time [Franklin] gave up a goal was forever ago. They had 12 shutouts in the last 13 games and the only team that scored against them was KP and they only got two. They are just so hard to break down because they have such quality players back there.”

"the commuter rail system needs to transform itself"
From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
"The MBTA board voted Monday to back substantial investment in the commuter rail, calling for electrification of the system and more frequent service through the most dense corridors in a step that transportation advocates praised as historic.Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
The Fiscal and Management Control Board adopted unanimously resolutions calling for the T to develop a “commuter rail transformation office” within three months that will then oversee long-term work to electrify most of the network and run trains with 15-minute headways between key stations in a regional or urban rail model.
The decision still leaves questions unanswered about how the MBTA will pay for the changes, which will carry a price tag in the billions. Onlookers and activists who have long called for railway improvements complimented the board for supporting a plan to improve transit equity, take cars off congested roadways and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“It’s definitely a win,” said Jarred Johnson, chief operating officer of the TransitMatters advocacy group. “It’s a win for better service, it’s a win for equity concerns, and I think they also heard the call loud and clear that commuter rail fares have to be much, much more affordable.”

"Franklin opened the defense of its Div. 1 Central/West title against an unfamiliar foe on Saturday afternoon, but it turned out to be a perfect way to ease into another postseason run.
The Panthers needed only about an hour to dispatch Doherty in the first round, winning 25-12. 25-12, 25-11 to advance to the quarterfinal. While it wasn’t a perfect performance, Franklin coach Kelsey Weymouth was pleased with the team’s ability to focus on the task at hand and not allow the visitors to get any momentum.
“I wanted them to just focus on what was happening on their side of the net and playing Franklin volleyball at the pace that Franklin volleyball is played at,” she said. “I wanted them to be aggressive and to stay aggressive. Now was kind of the time to run some plays and try some things but mentally stay focused.”
It was a quick start for the hosts. Franklin won the opening 10 points of the match with sophomore setter Cailyn Mackintosh recording three aces in the stretch, senior Makayla Raffin adding a pair of kills, and senior Sophie Lyons adding one strike."
