Labyrinth Walk - Dec 31, 5 PM to 7 PM

Found walking this week:

Labyrinth Walk - Dec 31, 5 PM to 7 PM

Via wikipedia:

"In English, the term labyrinth is generally synonymous with maze. As a result of the long history of unicursal representation of the mythological Labyrinth, however, many contemporary scholars and enthusiasts observe a distinction between the two. In this specialized usage maze refers to a complex branching multicursal puzzle with choices of path and direction, while a unicursal labyrinth has only a single path to the center. A labyrinth in this sense has an unambiguous route to the center and back and is not difficult to navigate.^[5][6][7][8] 

Unicursal labyrinths appeared as designs on pottery or basketry, as body art, and in etchings on walls of caves or churches. The Romans created many primarily decorative unicursal designs on walls and floors in tile or mosaic. Many labyrinths set in floors or on the ground are large enough that the path can be walked. Unicursal patterns have been used historically both in group ritual and for private meditation, and are increasingly found for therapeutic use in hospitals and hospices."

"students were concerned"

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

"A former Tri-County student accused of threatening to "shoot up" the school was released on conditions following a Thursday-morning hearing in Wrentham District Court. 

Julius Willis, 18, of 504 Ellis Road in North Attleborough, had been held without bail following his Dec. 13 arrest at the school. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of threatening to commit a crime, making a threat that caused serious public alarm, disturbing a school, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. 

At the hearing, defense and prosecution lawyers told Judge Thomas Finigan that they had reached an agreement on conditions of release, pre-empting a dangerousness hearing that would determine whether Willis would continue to be held without bail. Among the conditions, they said, were provisions that Willis stay away from Tri-County, not possess firearms or ammunition, seek mental health counseling, avoid the students who had reported the incident, not use social media, submit to electronic monitoring and seek either employment or education."
