PATRICK ADMINISTRATION AWARDS $5.7 MILLION IN WORKFORCE TRAINING FUND PROGRAM GRANTS
Matching grants complement private sector workforce training initiatives; Grants benefit over 5,600 employees at 72 Massachusetts companies
BOSTON – Thursday, June 27, 2013 – The Patrick Administration today announced $5.7 million in the Workforce Training Fund General Grant Program, providing for the training of over 5,600 current and newly hired employees at 72 Massachusetts companies across the Commonwealth. The grants, which are for up to two years, serve as a resource for businesses to increase the skill set of their incumbent employees and provide valuable training to the workers. As a result of these awarded grants, participating companies project to create 414 new jobs by the end of 2015.
"The Workforce Training Fund offers employees the ability to learn new skills and expertise that allows their employers to compete more effectively in their respective industries," said Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) Secretary Joanne F. Goldstein. "It's a proven resource and we look forward to working with the business community to further implement training initiatives and partner with them to maintain a highly skilled workforce in all regions and all economic sectors of the Commonwealth."
Today's Workforce Training Fund Program grants build on the record investments in workforce training and education made by the Patrick Administration in recent years. Within the manufacturing industry alone, the Administration awarded more than $10 million through this grant program to 117 manufacturers over the last two years. This latest round of Workforce Training Fund Program grants further supports manufacturers as well as initiatives to enhance skills for employees in other sectors including financial services, engineering and hospitality.
"Massachusetts companies recognize that their ability to compete globally depends in large measure on the skills of their workers. The grants announced today will strengthen those skills, as well as the productivity, efficiency and innovation of Bay State employers," said Richard C. Lord, President and Chief Executive Officer of Associated Industries of Massachusetts and Chair of the Workforce Training Fund Program Advisory Board.
"We encourage businesses, regardless of size, to contact us to learn more about the Workforce Training Fund and how this resource can help them to address their business needs," said Nancy Snyder, President and CEO of EOLWD's Commonwealth Corporation. "We are also interested in helping small businesses access the fund through consortiums that can be organized by third party workforce and training organizations."
This round of Workforce Training Fund Program grants support companies located in more than 50 cities and towns across the Commonwealth. Of the 64 awarded grants, two are technical assistance grants, or planning grants, to prepare companies prior to implementing workforce training grants and initiatives. Additionally, two grants were awarded to consortium projects involving multiple employers with common training needs.

"Balance is the key"
Finance Committee Chairman James Roche, who for more than a decade has played an integral part in shaping the town’s annual budget, has decided not to seek reappointment.
Roche, however, isn't going far, taking on a new role as treasurer for the Franklin Food Pantry.
"I think I can help them put some systems in place and take (the pantry) further down the path," he said. "I’m still serving the town, but just in a different capacity. I think it’s important that people give back to the community. I’m just changing the venue."

Today I am cancer free and have a healthy 3 year old! However we all know too many loved ones still struggling with cancer. This race is for all cancers, in memory of those we lost and in honor of those who continue the battle. All money raised will go directly to Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund in MA. This is our 4th year in Franklin and we hope to grow and continue to hold our race in this great town!
This is a certified course, chip timing, medals for 6 different age groups, as well as Tech Shirts, food, music, fun and raffles! Raffles include 2 American Airline tickets and Red Sox Tickets.

Senate race: Fair turnout as area goes for Gomez
Turnout was higher than expected Tuesday as Milford-area residents cast their ballots, mostly for Republican Gabriel Gomez, in the U.S. Senate special election.

New, improved Milford Daily News commenting system aims to build, improve conversations on our website
On Thursday, Milford Daily News will launch a new set of social and interactive features underneath online articles. Our goal is to enhance the experience by giving readers new ways to interact with each other, share opinions and engage with the news.
Editorial: Commenting, with honesty and civility
For some time, we’ve received complaints that the anonymous commenting system we’ve hosted on our online stories does little to enhance the conversation within our community. The criticism has been that some of the comments are hateful and sometimes, downright objectionable. We heard you and we agree.

Reminder - vote today!
You may think, "why bother?"
Aside from it being your civic duty, what happens in Washington eventually affects what happens in MA and ultimately here in Franklin. Much of our budget is derived from either Federal or State aid. The work on the Downtown Project is being funded from these sources. (Which is why there have been delays, the Federal and State government process moves slower than it does in Franklin.)

Farmers Market - Wheatless Bliss
My visit to the Franklin Farmers Market was a good news bad news story. The good news was I did get there about 5:30 PM. The bad news was it was too late to get much. I did get some honey from Akin-Bak.I needed a fresh supply.
Nick Hoffman of the Hoffman Farm was taking down his canopy as he had sold what he had brought for the day. Amy Acevdo at the Grateful Farm tent said it was a good day for business!
I did stop and spend a few minutes talking with Sharon Washburn about Wheatless Bliss. The gluten free bakery is operational now and they will be opening a cafe in the fall.

MassBudget: Massachusetts Third in Nation for Child Well-Being
Children in Massachusetts lead the nation in Educational achievement, and are at or near the top in a number of measures of Health, according to the Annie E. Casey Foundation's 2013 KIDS COUNT Data Book
In other areas, children in Massachusetts continue to face some significant hurdles. For instance, while Massachusetts's child poverty rate is relatively low compared to other states, one in six kids under five is currently living in poverty--roughly 75,000 young children. One way to help improve the economic security of some of those children would be to increase the minimum wage, which has lost 25% of its value since 1968.
In education, our 4th-graders have the highest rate of reading proficiency in the nation, and our 8th-graders the highest rate of math proficiency. "The long-term investments we began to make in our schools in the 1990s are paying off, but too many of our kids are not yet getting the support they need to have a real opportunity to succeed." said Noah Berger, president of MassBudget, the KIDS COUNT group in Massachusetts. "For example, half of our 4th graders are still not reading proficiently--and we know that early reading success is crucial to the ability of a child to succeed in school. Focusing on what it takes to give every child an opportunity to succeed is crucial not just for those kids, but also for our state's ability to build a strong, high wage economy."
MassBudget's KIDS COUNT reports cover a range of issues affecting children in Massachusetts, including early education & care, homelessness policy, youth jobs, and public health. Our Children's Budget contains clear descriptions and funding information for the many programs in the Massachusetts state budget that affect children. And the MassKidsCount.org group blog is a place for leading voices in child advocacy and public policy research to discuss issues affecting the well-being of children in Massachusetts.
