MassSave Rebate Issues Raised, there may be hope for progress

Our State Representative Jeff Roy made the news this week with one of his hearings this week. He had the utilities (NationalGrid, Eversource, etc.) in for a hearing and he raised some questions on the MassSave program. NewsCenter 5 had been running a series on rebate issues with MassSave so it was timely and got some action. There is still more to be done, so if you have MassSave issue, let Jeff know.

"Massachusetts state lawmakers are now demanding answers from the state's utility companies after NewsCenter 5's reporting about ongoing problems at Mass Save.

That's the energy efficiency program the utilities are required by state law to run, paying homeowners who make their homes more energy efficient.

Mass Save is critical to Massachusetts meeting its climate goals, but over the past two years the program has been plagued by long delays in issuing rebates, difficult-to-reach customer service and even bounced checks. Dozens of consumers from across the state have told NewsCenter 5 they can't get adequate explanations about what's slowing their rebates from Mass Save.

The program is funded by billions of dollars paid by utility customers across the state through a surcharge on monthly utility bills. The current three-year Mass Save program is funded at $4 billion."

Franklin TV: Guy Fawkes Day

Remember, Remember…

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 11/05/2023

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night, and Fireworks Night, is an annual commemoration observed on November fifth, primarily in Great Britain, involving bonfires and fireworks displays. Its history begins with Catholic plotters who intended to assassinate Protestant King James I and his parliament on November 5, 1605. Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gunpowder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives they had placed beneath the House of Lords.

Celebrating that the plot was foiled and the King had survived, people lit bonfires around London. Months later, the ‘Observance of 5th November Act’ mandated an annual public day of thanksgiving.

Within a few decades Gunpowder Treason Day as it was then known, became the predominant English state commemoration. Its Protestant overtones also fostered anti-Catholic sentiments. Bonfire celebrations burnt effigies of hated figures such as the Pope. Gradually, November fifth came to be known as Guy Fawkes Day.

Franklin TV: Guy Fawkes Day
Remember, remember, the 5th of November, 
Gunpowder, treason, and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder treason 
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent 
To blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below, 
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God's providence he was catch'd, 
With a dark lantern and burning match. 
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys. God save the King!
Now you know. If you intend to celebrate, keep the extinguisher handy.
And – as always –
Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm. 
And, thank you for watching.

#LOVEfranklin // Emergency Shelter Humanitarian Aid UPDATE for Nov 3. 2023

It feels like we are hitting our stride this week! The Emergency Shelter in Franklin is near capacity, the After-School Program has begun, and we’ve worked most of the kinks out of our process for assessing needs, collecting donations and distributing them.

 

The After-School Program is up and running. In its first offering, it served an estimated 30 children, elementary age and younger. The program was such a success that, in the future, we’ve been given permission to start a little earlier in order to reach out to the middle- and high-school students who arrive to the shelter about an hour before the elementary students. If you’d like to help with the After-school Program, please reach out to Rev. Kathy McAdams. We are hopeful that we will soon be able to offer the program over multiple days each week.

 

All donations have been consolidated at the Franklin United Methodist Church and teams of volunteers have done an excellent job of sorting. Next week, we will be sorting on MondayTuesday, and Thursday. In the weeks that follow we will have regular sorting on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Click here to learn more and signup for donation sorting.

 

The other amazing thing that happened this week was the receipt of several donations for the Franklin Interfaith Council’s Local Humanitarian Aid Fund, including a $1000 gift from a community member. In the near term, these funds will go to provide direct support and aid to the shelter. If you’d like to make a donation online, click here and designate the “Local Humanitarian Aid Fund.”

 

Attached is the updated flyer. We are continuing to ask for baby wipes and laundry detergent. We are also asking for new (in the package) socks and underwear (all sizes). Please distribute the flyer as you see fit.

 

Thank for your donations! Thank you to everyone who has volunteered! Thank you all for your continued support.

 

Peace.

Jacob

FHS field hockey tops Beverly in playoffs to advance to next round

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the fall sports playoff competition for Franklin High School on Friday, Nov 3, 2023. 

Football = Division 1 = #13 Franklin, 0 @ #4 Andover, 19 – Final

Field Hockey = Division 1 = #29 Beverly, 0 @ #4 Franklin, 5 – Final 
– A three-goal fourth quarter helped Franklin pull away for good over a tough Beverly squad, taking a 5-0 victory in the Round of 32 of the Division 1 tournament. The Panthers were kept scoreless in the first but a goal from Raena Crandall (from Haley Wernig) at the 13 minute mark of the second gave Franklin a 1-0 lead at half. Emily Carney tallied an unassisted goal at 8:12 of the third to give the hosts a little breathing room. Crandall (from Wernig), Sophia Cuneo (from Carney) and Wernig scored in the final frame to secure the win. Sophomore Devon Barry didn’t have to make a save in the shutout. “It was an outstanding effort by my team today,” said Franklin head coach Michelle Hess. “I’m very proud of how they settled in and came together in the second half.”

FHS is scheduled to play #13 Winchester on 11/8 (4 PM) at Franklin in the Round of 16
