Franklin Neighbor Brigade recognizes the Spirit of Volunteer Appreciation Week

Franklin Neighbor Brigade has a couple of shout outs in the Spirit of Volunteer Appreciation week. Thank you to our volunteers for giving and sharing themselves to others!


  • To all our volunteers - April 22nd the Franklin brigade will be receiving an award from the Franklin Senior Center and Council on Aging for our volunteer work with the Senior population.



  • As a fundraiser for the Jefferson Elementary Fifth Grade Celebration, the school's fifth graders sold bags of "Soul Warming Soups," and provided the option of donating a bag of soup to a local charity. With the selling power of the fifth grade students, as well as their generous families and friends, the school donated thirty bags of frozen soup to the Franklin chapter of Neighbor Brigade. More than fifteen families purchased two and four pound bags of soup, and the company generously matched these donations. The students thoroughly embraced the opportunity to raise money for their end-of-year celebration, while participating firsthand in assisting local families in need. Thank you volunteer Jacqui. S. For making this happen! Our recipients are going to be enjoying this soup all winter long.

FHS girls lacrosse tops Concord-Carlisle 13-7


"On Thursday evening, the Franklin girls’ lacrosse team began a run of five straight games against teams ranked among the top 25 in the state with the visit of Div. 1 Central/East rival Concord-Carlisle, which won the sectional title last spring. 
After losing a second half lead against Needham in the season opener and eventually falling in overtime, this was an opportunity for the Panthers to pick up a marquee win early in the season and build momentum for a difficult portion of the schedule. 
It did not start well. The Patriots jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the first half, but senior midfielder Kenzie Pleshaw took over with four goals before the break and five in the game to spark a Franklin comeback that turned into a comfortable 13-7 victory."

Rotarians honored with Paul Harris Awards


In addition to the many projects Rotarians do locally (scholarships, TVs and wheelchairs for the Senior Center, spaghetti supper for Franklin Seniors (sign up will be posted at the Senior Center in late May), town common benches and lights, Youth Leadership training), Rotary is the largest nonprofit service agency in the world, building water and sanitation services in the 3rd world, ambulances and medical supplies in disaster areas, crutches in disease ravaged countries, as well as running Polio Plus, which has recently been enhanced by matching contributions from the Bill Gates Foundation that has Rotary virtually eliminating polio from the face of the Earth. 

The major way individual Rotarians support International activities is by becoming Paul Harris Fellows (meaning they contributed $1000 increments to Rotary Foundation (which monitors and supports the projects). 

Several local Rotarians were honored by District Governor Jim Fusco recently Pictured receiving their Paul Harris Awards are Bruce Healey (Dean Bank), Frank Cusanno (Bristol Co.

In the News: School Committee hears about counseling, Atty General Healy looking for equal pay, DelCarte clean up scheduled

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin

"The School Committee heard an extensive presentation on district counseling efforts this week. 
The committee at its Tuesday night meeting listened to several members of the counseling staff - as well as some students - as they outlined initiatives at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. 
Committee Chairman Kevin O'Malley said the role of school counselors had changed dramatically from the days when the focus was college and job preparedness. 
"School counseling is not what it used to be," he said. "It has never been more involved or far-reaching."

"Attorney General Maura Healey calculates that she could have purchased 1 million cups of coffee with the additional wages she would have earned if she were paid the same as her male co-workers. 
“It is long past the time to get this done,” said Healey, who joined with state Treasurer Deborah Goldberg, State Auditor Suzanne Bump and dozens of male and female legislators by the Statehouse’s Grand Staircase for Equal Pay Day, which was Tuesday. 
Chief among the topics was a pay equity bill (S 983) that prohibits employers from discriminating on wages based on gender. 
The bill would make it illegal for a company to ask what a job applicant made in a previous job, which Healey said often used as a way to keep women’s salaries down. The legislation would also bar any prohibitions against employees discussing their wages with each other."

"The Conservation Commission is seeking volunteers for a cleanup of the DelCarte Conservation property next weekend. 
The cleanup - scheduled for 8 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 23 - is the first such event at the 136-acre Pleasant Street property, which the town has opened up for recreational uses. 
Town Conservation Agent George Russell said the work that day would likely involve mostly trash pick-up. 
"It's more a maintenance issue than anything," he said, adding that the work would take place along the property's trails and picnic areas."

Governor Baker Signs $200 Million Bill for Chapter 90 Funding; Franklin to get $948,070


"Governor Charlie Baker today (Thursday, Apr 14) signed House Bill 4133, An Act Financing Improvements to Certain Municipal Roads, authorizing $200 million in Chapter 90 transportation funds for municipalities this construction season. Chapter 90 funding supports the reimbursement of every municipality in the Commonwealth for road-related construction projects and comes from general obligation bond issuances.

“Fulfilling the state’s commitment to support municipalities and grant access to critical funding for important transportation improvements across the Commonwealth has been a priority of our administration since our first day in office,” said Governor Baker. “Cities and towns count on this funding each year and we look forward to remaining a reliable partner on this issue for years to come.”

“As I have traveled across the Commonwealth meeting with local officials to discuss the most important issues facing their cities and towns, Chapter 90 is always an important part of the conversation,” said Lt. Governor Polito. “We are pleased the state will provide $200 million worth of funding that will have a direct impact on the everyday lives of everyone in Massachusetts.”

Chapter 90 reimburses cities and towns for costs incurred for eligible transportation projects. Cities and towns must submit receipts to the MassDOT Highway Division district in which they are located which verifies that the expenditures qualify for reimbursement under Chapter 90. The Highway Districts in turn submit these receipts to the Department of Transportation’s Fiscal Department which facilitates the reimbursements to cities and towns."

It was a win all around for the FHS tennis, lacrosse, baseball and softball games on Wednesday. Results courtesy of Hockomock Sports.

Baseball


  • Franklin, 13 @ Attleboro, 2 – Final

Softball


  • Franklin, 8 @ Attleboro, 1 – Final


"The game stayed close for six innings. In fact, Attleboro got its first run in the bottom of the sixth to pull within two and get the momentum heading to the final inning. 
But, as has been the case all season for the Bombardiers, there seems to be one trouble inning and on Wednesday afternoon against Franklin it turned out to be the seventh. 
The Panthers scored five runs in their final at-bat, on just two hits, to break open the game and pull away for an 8-1 victory. Junior catcher Clara DeCarvalho led the way for the visitors, going 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI."

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin


The Franklin Public Library began its move to a temporary location this week as it prepares for a $10.5 million renovation of its Main Street building. 
Workers buzzed about the library building Tuesday morning, moving shelf after shelf of books and disassembling circulation desks. Tuesday was the second day of the library's closure; it is slated to re-open May 2 at 25 Kenwood Circle (off Grove Street near Interstate 495). 
Library Director Felicia Oti said the work had been progressing well. 
"So far, it's been excellent," she said. "I applaud the staff - there's been a lot of heavy lifting, and they're just giving their all."

Unrepaired Gas Leaks in Franklin


Each year consumers spend billions on thousands of natural gas leaks. Currently Franklin has 41 unrepaired gas leaks dating back to 2009. This is not only a financial issue for consumers but it is also a safety and environmental issue. I've provided two links concerning gas leaks. Please consider publishing this in Franklin Matters. 

Thank you,

On Saturday, April 23rd, award winning band Forever Young presents a tribute to the music of Neil Young at the Circle of Friends Coffeehouse in Franklin. Forever Young is a six piece band that performs the best of Neil Young's acoustic and electric songs!  Forever Young takes you back, gets you singing and dancing, and puts those Neil Young songs in your head to linger long after the show!

In addition, they are all fans and have been influenced by the music of Neil Young. Drawing on his 40+ year career, the show highlights many of Young's popular songs and a few of the more obscure numbers. 

The show is presented with the full six piece band doing both the acoustic and electric songs that Neil Young is famous for. The show is reminiscent of the "Four Way Street" live album recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and of Neil Young with his many back-up bands.

* Amy Bedard – violin, vocals, guitar, keyboard

VICTORY: Walpole Board of Selectmen pass two anti-pipeline motions!


Everybody,

OUTSTANDING NEWS!  Tonight (Tuesday) at the Walpole Board of Selectmen, after a Spectra presentation and question and answer period, proposed and passed two motions against the Access Northeast pipeline!

The wording of the motions are as follows:

MOTION moved that the Board of Selectmen strongly oppose any pipeline development within a 400-foot radius of any Town Well, as the siting of the pipeline in such close proximity to the Town's water supply would propose an unacceptable threat to public health as the contamination of the Town's drinking water supply would create incalculable damage to the public health, the natural environment and the built environment.  It is simply unacceptable and any new pipeline must be routed as far as possible from drinking water wells and other drinking water sources.
PASSED: 4 YES, 0 NO, 1 ABSTENTION

MOTION that the Board of Selectmen votes to endorse the analysis and position of Attorney General Healey, as supported by the Regional Electric Reliability Options study, which concluded that new gas pipelines are not needed "to keep the lights on" and that, to the contrary, the region can maintain energy reliability through 2030 without any new gas pipelines; and furthermore, there are cheaper, less carbon-intensive options, than a new pipeline, better options such as energy efficiency and demand response, all less costly and less risk-intensive.
PASSED: 3 YES, 1 NO, 1 ABSTENTION

WOOHOO!  FIRST VICTORY ON THE Q1 LOOP!  CONGRATULATIONS, WALPOLE!

Please share this news with people in your towns as well as town leadership.  This is definitely a step in the right direction so let's see what other towns can get on board!

With gratitude,
Carolyn
