Delcarte Recreation Canoe Launch Improvements
The town will be starting work in the DelCarte Recreation area to improve access to the canoe launch. This work will take place between the parking lot off of Pleasant Street and the pond and will involve removing the wood chips, building a trail to the canoe launch that is ADA compliant, replacing one of the concrete pads in this area and planting new grass.
There has been some delay in starting the work, but it is now scheduled to begin on or about September 13, 2018 and should take about a week to complete. While the work is underway, and for the safety of all, the area may be closed periodically due to the operation of heavy equipment.
Any questions should be directed to George Russell, Conservation Agent at 508-533-4847 or grussell@franklinma.gov.
Milford Daily News has a write up on this work which talks of it being scheduled for next week

Girls Soccer = Franklin, 0 @ King Philip, 2 – Final
– The Warriors scored twice in the first half to secure the win. Ally Stanton scored the eventual game-winner off a cross by Chloe Layne 15 minutes into the game and then Layne added the second from the penalty spot four minutes later. Taylor Butler made six saves for the clean sheet. Breanna Atwood made nine saves for the Panthers and Franklin coach Tom Geysen said that his team created some good chances and “took some steps forward.”
Field Hockey = King Philip, 4 @ Franklin, 0 – Final
– King Philip scored a pair of goals in each half and had a strong defensive effort to blank Franklin. KP freshman Meghan MacDonald scored less then two minutes into the game on a feed from Kate Lindmark to give the Warriors a strong start. Alli Meehan scored the next three goals for the Warriors, tallying unassisted goals at the midway point of each the first and second half, and scoring off a feed from Dana Truini in the second half. Franklin’s Christina Luccini made four saves and Anna Jardine had nine saves for the Panthers. Marissa Canesi and Maeve Ledwith each had strong games defensively for Franklin.
Volleyball = King Philip, 0 @ Franklin, 3 – Final
"It doesn’t matter where Franklin volleyball is in its rotation on the court, first-year Panthers head coach Kelsey Weymouth is confident the offense can get it done.
Franklin’s balanced offense was on full display on Wednesday evening, with five players registering at least four kills to help the Panthers sweep visiting King Philip, 3-0 (25-22, 25-18, 25-16)."
