Hello. This is Gary Premo calling with an important traffic alert.
The Mass Bay Commuter Rail will be rehabilitating the railroad crossing at BEAVER STREET.
The work will be done this Saturday, JULY 13th, between 6:00AM and 6:00PM.
The BEAVER STREET railroad crossing will be CLOSED to thru traffic between RTE. 140 and GROVE STREET. Please avoid the area and plan accordingly. Thank you. Goodbye.
Addressing many of the mandates, Ludlow Public Schools Superintendent Todd Gaza said at the hearing, "The new teacher evaluation regulations, bullying legislation, implementation of the Common Core … all require professional development for our teachers in order to meet their requirements. This leaves little time for other professional activities."
Daniel Gutekanst testified that the grind to put in place all of the mandates actually steals time away from improving classroom learning.
"The pace of change and reform is grueling and unrelenting," Gutekanst said. "Teachers, school staff and principals are increasingly required to address and attend to mandates and initiatives that leave them little time to personalize learning experiences for children in their charge."

The Franklin and Bellingham Rail Trail Committee (FBRTC) will have a meeting, Tuesday, July 9, 2013. The meeting will be held at the YMCA in Franklin and will begin at 7:30 pm.
Attached is an agenda. Some items that we will discuss include a recap of the FBRTC table at the Bellingham July 4th festival, upcoming trail awareness events, and non-motorized vehicle signage.
Please join us on July 13th and 14th, from 9am to 11am, at the King St. Memorial Garden for child focused gardening events. Grown-up children welcome as well! Attendees can make their own pots and plant green beans in them to take home. We will also be planting green beans in the garden itself. These beans will then be available for children to harvest at events on September 7th and 8th, when the beans are mature.

We will also be giving tours of the garden to help children identify the plants that grow the fruits and vegetables that they love, or refuse, to eat. This is an excellent opportunity to have your children learn about where their food comes from, and eat something they've grown from seed. In the short time since the garden was founded we've had numerous parents comment on the difference growing their own vegetables made in their children's eating habits. This is an opportunity for the community at large to join in the fun, so please tell your friends!
