Both FHS gymnastics and boys hockey teams top Mansfield on Saturday

From HockomockSports.com we share the FHS sports results: 

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 6 @ Mansfield, 1 – Final 
– Franklin scored three unanswered goals in the second period to pull away from the Hornets for a season sweep. The Panthers built a 2-1 lead after a period, getting a pair of goals from Justin Magazu (with Dylan Marchand assisting on both). In the second, Conor O’Neill (from Sean Connelly and Declan Lovett) made it 3-1 and Ryan Sicchio scored back-to-back goals for a 5-1 edge. In the third, Lovett found the back of the net with O’Neill and Connelly earning assists. Gary Mandia made 15 saves in net for the win.

Gymnastics = Attleboro, 134.5 @ Franklin, 141.5 – Final 
– Franklin added another win to its total this season after the results were examined from their virtual meet against Attleboro. The Panthers competed last week while the Bombardiers were in action on Friday night. Emma White took first in three of four events (vault, bars, floor) while Kate Heun had the top score on the beam (8.95) for the Panthers.

Franklin Art Association: Christine Toubeau featured at Feb 3, 2021 meeting

Join us at the next monthly Franklin Art Association meeting.   Yes, our regular monthly get-together will take place this coming Wednesday, February 3 at 6:30 PM, as usual, via Zoom.  The Zoom link is below.

Following an informal virtual social gathering from 6:30-7:00, we have an exciting program to share, a viewing of a Franklin TV Cable retrospective on the work of painter Christine Toubeau.   

"Toubeau, a member of the FAA, is a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art, earning her MFA from U Mass, Amherst in 2004. She has worked as a fashion illustrator, free-lance graphic illustrator, art teacher at both Tri-County’s Graphic Arts Shop and Franklin County Technical School in Turners Falls.  She has had her own wall mural painting business here in Franklin for several years.

Toubeau’s original, acrylic, paintings deal with the theme of the interaction of humans with futuristic technology. She currently has an exhibit of her acrylic paintings on view at the First Universalist Society Church in Franklin. Franklin TV cameraman Chris Flynn, in collaboration with Toubeau, combined footage of that exhibit with additional images taken from her larger body of work, including paintings featured in a 2010 solo art show at UMass entitled “The Robot Next Door” to produce the film to be shown at the FAA meeting. During the show, she will also illustrate her approach to working with large, four foot canvases as well as a painting with acrylics demonstration from her home studio."
Franklin Art Association is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
