Financial Planning Committee - no show
The Town website said there was a meeting. This notice outside the Town Clerks door said there was a meeting. But while folks were continuing to arrive for a Zoning Board of Appeals meeting in the Council Chambers, Room 205 remained empty. So I left. Nothing else to report about this committee at this time.
Phase one of rail trail to open Sat.
While the Franklin Citizens Rail Trail Committee is beginning work on the section in Franklin, this appeared in the Globe West edition on Thursday:

New turn available at King/140
There is a new left turn/drive straight lane alongside a right turn only lane when you travel King Street approaching 140.
This picture shows the lane markings with no cars blocking the view (yes, a lucky bit of timing).
An even luckier bit of timing shows this picture with a red light for the King St traffic. The right lane is making a right turn as the West bound 140 traffic is turning on to King St while the East bound 140 traffic is sitting at their red light.
The pedestrian and traffic light island was shortened to widen the intersection allowing the three lanes (one going out King St to i495, and the two lanes heading from King towards Chestnut St).
This is part of the traffic preparations for the Walgreens to open on the corner later this year.

Farmers Market: Nourse Farm
One of the farms frequently found at the Farmers Market on the Town Common is Nourse Farm. This photo from June depicts Samantha Nourse explaining the process for their fruits and pies.
The strawberry picking season is over but you should find something good at the Nourse Farm table each week at the Farmers Market.
Visit the Nourse Farm web site for more information on their organic growing process. They also offer tips and tricks for growing your own garden.
Buy local!

Senior Center Activities - Sep 2009
The Senior Center has a whole lot of things happening. Take a gander through the listing for September!
The first page alone covers activities from the Men's Club, to having your hearing screened, to card games, to driver training, and to credit counseling.
If you can't find something to do, maybe you can get something together for next time!
If your parents are living in Franklin, do they utilize the Senior Center (assuming they qualify by being over 60). If they don't use the Senior Center, I would be curious to understand why.
