NHC: Post-Tropical Cyclone SANDY Graphics
In the after math of Sandy, we can be thankful for the storm being not as bad for us as it could have been. Those rising tides have caused damage that will take time to repair. Our thoughts and prayers go to those in the recovery areas.

What's happening to the building downtown?
What are all the fences doing around the old building downtown?
Wasn't that supposed to get replaced by a new building like the one behind it to go along with the one across the street?
Portions of the building interior has been gutted. The exterior in the back is being redone
Access to the lower level and parking behind is still available from either Summer St or Cottage St
Franklin Pizza was located on the corner before moving around to Cottage St.
Florentina's was located in back on the lower level before moving out to RT 140
MelDivas Coffehouse, of course, was located in the center.
Printsmart Office Products did have space there before returning to an online only business that still delivers office products.
What other businesses inhabited these spaces?

Given the economic status, renovation is the least cost option.

Community Garden update
A donation of bags of manure from Franklin Agway were delivered to the Franklin Community Gardens by Grateful Farm on Saturday. A call for help went out and a few helpful hands arrived to move the pile of bags from the van
to the ground easily.
The garden beds are quiet now as winter approaches. Stay tuned for updates on the registration process for next year.

YMCA - Youth Basketball Registrations
The Bernon Family Branch of The Hockomock Area YMCA is accepting registrations for its annual winter Youth Basketball League which begins December 8th for children ages 3-12. The first three weeks will be devoted to practices and the last five weeks to playing games (all will be held on Saturdays). The league is open to players of all levels.
The Youth Basketball League (YBL) is the YMCA’s most popular youth sports league. It focuses primarily on skill development, sportsmanship and fun. Emphasis will be placed on dribbling, shooting, passing, teamwork, and having fun. The first three weeks of practices are developed to meet the needs of each age group and to best advance their skills in a healthy and fun way. For the following five weeks, children will compete in games (times are TBA). Each player in YBL will receive a team t-shirt and a trophy at the end of the season banquet.
Children ages 3-12 will play in coed divisions. The cost for the program is $66 for members and $99 for non-members. Hurry and sign up today because after November 23rd winter league prices will increase.
To register, please stop by the Hockomock Area YMCA’s Bernon Family Branch located at 45 Forge Hill Road in Franklin, contact the front desk at 508.528.8708, or visit us online at www.hockymca.org (only full members can register online).
