A Bourne man was arraigned in Wrentham District Court Friday on charges that he stole as much as $54,000 worth of pens from a Franklin business.
Gregory Loonan, 55, of 22 Carnoustie Road, pleaded not guilty to charges of felony breaking and entering during the daytime and larceny valued more than $250. He was released on $1,000 bail.
Franklin Police Detective Eric Zimmerman wrote in an affidavit that the security director of Kuehne + Nagel, the local branch of an international shipping firm, contacted police in August regarding a large number of missing Cross pens. The company, he said, handles some packaging and distribution work for Cross.

– Taunton’s Mario Wilson carded a match low round of 37 for the Tigers.
– Christina Quinn scored nine minutes into the game and it turned out to be the game-winner for the Panthers. KP goalie Abby Campbell made 14 saves to keep the Warriors in the game in the second half. Franklin goalie Sam Jones made a save with 1:30 left to preserve the win.

For the first time, Franklin and King Philip field hockey met up on the brand-new turf at Macktaz Field in a meeting between the first and third place teams in the Kelley-Rex Division.
The Panthers came in unbeaten in the league, but the Warriors came in fired up at the chance to knock their rivals off the top of the league standings.
With just a little more than a minute remaining in the game, and after nearly 20 minutes of nonstop Franklin pressure, the Warriors finally got a break and a scoring opportunity. Senior attacker Casie Curtin hit the edge of the circle and fired towards goal, but Franklin senior goalie Sam Jones, who had spent 20 minutes standing in the cold wind as mostly a spectator, was out to cut down the angle and kick the shot aside.
I was just informed that due to the forecast of bad weather this weekend the Horseshoe Tournament has been canceled.
