"hopefully a loss like this motivates us to work harder in the offseason"
Joe Clark, HockomockSports.com Student Reporter, provides the recap as the FHS girls lacrosse team can't get by Concord-Carlisle in the D1 East semi-final game.

"A year ago, Franklin beat Concord-Carlisle in the D1 East Final. This year the teams met a round earlier, in the semi-final, and not only were the stakes different, but the result was as well, as Concord-Carlisle pulled off a 14-10 win in a back and forth game that featured four ties and five lead changes.
“They knocked us on our butts last year, they physically took it to us, but I think it was a learning experience for us, we really had something to prove today and I think we did an outstanding job,” said Concord-Carlisle coach Paul Morrison.
Franklin started out the game strong, with two good goal opportunities early, but two great saves by Natalie Slade turned the Panthers away. They were eventually able to capitalize, with goals from Kelsey MacCallum and Katie Jones giving Franklin a 2-0 advantage early on.
But, when C-C switched to Fallon Vaughn on the draw, the Patriots went on a huge run of draw controls, taking a 9-3 advantage in that category at the end of the first half. After MacCallum put Franklin up 3-1, Concord-Carlisle went on a four-goal run from 9:08 to 7:22 in the first half."Continue reading the article online

"The dynamic adds a unique layer of growing pains for marijuana"
From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
http://www.milforddailynews.com/news/20180611/alcohol-roadmap-for-marijuana-in-massachusetts
"If you’re curious about the future of legal marijuana in Massachusetts, the liquor industry might offer some guidance.
Like marijuana, the manufacturing, sale and transport of alcohol were once illegal. The 13-year period, known as Prohibition, ended in 1933, and there are similarities between the years that followed and what’s happening today with the rollout of adult-use marijuana, also known as recreational marijuana.
“There are some really interesting parallels between the end of Prohibition and the legalization of marijuana,” said Stephanie Schorow, author of “Drinking Boston: A History of the City and Its Spirits.”
Today, more than 74 Massachusetts municipalities have banned retail sales of adult-use marijuana, preventing retailers -- often referred to as “pot shops” -- from opening within city or town limits. The same thing happened after Prohibition, as cities and towns decided to remain “dry,” meaning alcohol sales were not allowed."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)

FM #145 - Economic Development Subcommittee - June 6, 2018 (audio)
This internet radio show or podcast is number 145 in the series for Franklin Matters.
This recording is of the Economic Development Subcommittee meeting that was held on Wednesday, June 6, 2018. The meeting began at 5:45 PM in the 3rd Floor Training Room.
The primary discussion was around how to revise the zoning bylaw to improve opportunity for residents to obtain a permit and maintain some poultry. Part of the discussion was confusion around the competing regulations. The meeting was focused on the zoning bylaw which the Town Council governs. There are also regulations from the Health Department which are separate and which may also require some changes but are created and governed by the Board of Health.
The meeting itself runs about 58 minutes. I did take notes during the meeting but the conversation was so active, I did not tweet out for fear of missing something. The audio should be clear enough to understand. Bryan Taberner was recording the notes officially for the meeting so folks usually announced themselves as they spoke.
The conclusion of the meeting was to proceed with a revision to the current zoning bylaw. It will come before the Council, get referred to the Planning Board (for two public hearings and a decision) and then come back to the Town Council for a public hearing, two readings and a decision. The first appearance before the Council might be in September.
Without further ado, here is the audio recording.
