Over the last several weeks the Town has experienced an increase in residential house break activity, not rampant activity, but enough to be of concern to us. The housebreaks are committed during the daytime hours and have been occurring in the more remote and outlying areas of the Town.
One piece of information that has been received is the description of a Chevrolet HHR (see attached image) color white with a Rhode Island registration plate. The Franklin Police Department would like all residents to report any suspicious vehicle or activity in their neighborhood immediately to us by telephone or flag down a police car if one is in your area.

Be vigilant securing your homes, motor vehicles and any adjacent garage or shed to deter easy access to unwanted persons. We need your help and extra eyes to provide us the information we will need to successfully solve these cases.
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Stephan H. Semerjian
Chief of Police

Divorce or legal separation can put both emotional and financial strain on a family. When the parents of a child no longer live together, child support must be paid by one of the parents to ensure a child’s financial needs are met to facilitate growth, security, and mental development.
The parent with whom the child lives most of the time is called the custodial parent and the other parent is non-custodial. Often, it is the non-custodial parent who pays child support to the custodial parent. The process is straightforward whether you’re the parent who pays child support or the parent who receives child support.

I love your emails. I was wondering if you could help spread the word about the Athena Health proposed 138-bed nursing facility at 864 Lincoln St.
The location is currently a residential rural zone 1, the faculty would need a zoning ordinance to proceed.
Only those with property touching the proposed site were notified of the meeting.

I did go to the meeting.
Many voiced opposing opinions.
The board continued until July 24 at 7:30.
They requested a full traffic study be done on Lincoln St.
The fire chief sent a memo but was not in attendance. The memo opposed the building permit as it would put addition strain on the Emergency Response which would affect all residence. He also cited poor response times for that area of Franklin would put home residents at at potential risk.

For the last time in its 43 year history, the halls of Franklin High School were filled with students.You can read the full article in the Milford Daily News here
But some of these students haven’t set foot in the school in years, and came back to catch one final glimpse of the school that they spent four years in.
With a brand new 300,000-square-foot building approaching completion that will open in time for next school year, administration opened the school to the public for the last time Saturday.
Two town councilors held a closed-door meeting with officials from Milford Regional Medical Center this week to discuss Franklin’s urgent care needs and the prospect of bringing in a medical clinic.
Peter Padula and Judith Pfeffer met privately Thursday afternoon with Milford Regional CEO Frank Saba, among other hospital officials. Council Chairman Robert Vallee has asked Padula and Pfeffer to research outpatient options for the town, such as a satellite emergency room, because he said it takes too long to take Franklin patients in need of critical care to area hospitals like Milford Regional.
"We’re one of the biggest towns in the Milford area that brings patients to their hospital," Pfeffer said. "They want to make sure we’re being treated and handled as well as possible."
According to Milford Regional, the ambulance times from Franklin fall within national standards. "But it all depends what section of Franklin you’re going to," Pfeffer noted.You can read the full article in the Milford Daily News here

In 1776, the first shots at Lexington and Concord were fired, marking the beginnings of the American Revolution. Today, Americans take time each year on July 4th to celebrate the birth of our nation and commemorate those who fought for our freedom. On this day of backyard barbecues, fireworks, and outdoor fun, remember to keep a few safety tips in mind:
Massachusetts law prohibits private citizens from using, selling, or possessing fireworks. Additionally, fireworks purchased legally elsewhere and then transported into the state are strictly prohibited. There are a variety of fireworks displays supervised by professionals to enjoy in Massachusetts instead.
- Leave Fireworks to the Professionals
Whether on the playground or at a campground, make sure children are supervised while celebrating outside during the holiday. Keep fireworks and sparklers out of reach of children at all times. Removepieces of small toys, balloons, , and other items that may be potential choking hazards or dangerous to small children.
- Keep Children Safe
