Clown Shoes Beer Celebration - Franklin
Hello Everybody,
The British Beer Company will celebrate the brewing prowess of Clown Shoes Beer at the Franklin pub on Saturday February 25th. Five kegs and a cask from this popular Massachusetts based craft brewer will be tapped at noon. Flowing through the taps: Supa Hero IPA, Tramp Stamp Belgian IPA, Clementine Witbier, Muffin Top Belgian Tripel IPA, and Hoppy Feet American Black IPA. The cask will be a Vampire Slayer Imperial American Stout - one of Clown Shoes newest and most highly rated beers! How could anyone not be intrigued by a beer made with "Holy Water, malt smoked locally with hickory, beechwood and vampire killing stakes". Mmmm...stakes. Join the BBC from 3-6pm for a brewery promotion and social with a bunch of give-aways.
British Beer Company executive chef James Gibney of Essex England will be using and pairing Clown Shoes for some unforgettable lunch and dinner specials. These one day only delicacies will put a unique twist on some pub grub favorites and will incorporate and infuse Clown Shoes Beer into the recipes. Sorry...there will be no cotton candy.

Wadsworth Diary - Feb 14, 1858
Clowdy and snowed some cold, 13 above zero Went to meeting in fournoon Rev. J. Thayer preached (or explained from the Bible some) Staid at home in the afternoon. No meeting in eve.
In the 1850s, on a busy working farm in the southern part of Franklin, a man named George Wadsworth started writing in a journal about everyday events. When he filled that journal, he bought another, and filled that up too. Two dozen journals, and 27 years later, he had written about almost everything that can happen in a small New England town. His words were lost to history until 1986, when town resident Gail Lembo came across some of the journals at a yard sale.

Note: I guess Valentine's Day wasn't a big deal in 1858. For more about the history of the day, here is the Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day
"we have to house students at a hotel"
The new dorm is designed to solve overcrowding and not intended to handle expanded enrollment, he said. The college has 1,356 students now.
The new residence hall is expected to be on West Central Street and will be addressed 100 West Central St.
Last night college staff presented the plan for the new building and accompanying landscaping to the Planning Board for the first time. The proposed building will be 37,000 square feet, with 121 bedrooms, and is part of the college’s long-term design plan.
Dean College hopes to begin construction in the spring and move students into the completed residence hall by the beginning of December, before the college’s winter break.

Libraries of larger towns must stay open longer

Punishment of Franklin library has point
by Alison McCall/Daily News staff
Yes, the punishment does have a point. We need to pay attention to the details in the Town budget. The budget cut was discussed and approved by the Town Council in Jun 2011. How many folks attended those budget hearings? Not many. So it is now a surprise that the decertification has happened.
The Finance Committee Budget hearing on the Library was not recorded so it is not available on video replay. The Town Council budget hearings are available. If you missed what happened then, you can still view that now:
Budget hearing Jun 8, 2011 -
In the first hearing, no 'holds' were put on the Library budget so no additional discussion or questions for details and impact was shown.
Budget hearing Jun 9, 2011 -

In the second hearing, there was discussion around the Fire Dept staffing but nothing on the Library.
