"Assumption College Director of Athletics Jamie Marcoux is pleased to announce Evan Sholudko as the College’s Blue and White Sports Men’s Swimming Head Coach. Sholudko officially began his duties in August of 2018 and the team will begin competition in the fall of 2019.
“I’m excited to welcome Evan as head men’s swimming coach at Assumption,” said Marcoux. “He has proven to be an excellent coach in his young career and will lead our men’s program as a part of Blue and White Sports. I look forward to seeing him develop our swimmers in the pool, in the classroom and the community.”
Sholudko spent the past year as an assistant with the Assumption women’s swimming program. Sholudko was instrumental in helping the Hounds place second at the NE10 Championships for the second consecutive year. The team also won the Gompei Invitational and claimed the Worcester City Championships.
“I want to thank Director of Athletics Jaime Marcoux and the Assumption Athletic Department for supporting me in my new role as the head men’s swimming coach,” Sholudko said. “I am excited to continue to work with the amazing student-athletes here at Assumption. My goal is to build this program by instilling a positive culture and tradition so that we as a team can compete and make an impact as soon as possible. I expect the men’s swim team to be one that the Assumption community, student-athletes, parents and alumni can be proud of and support.”Continue reading online

A great introduction to the basics of wine grapes and the six varieties that produce most of the wines that consumers are familiar with.Registration Link: https://bit.ly/2ObIy9d
This is a sit down tasting/education event held in the Franklin Liquors wine room.
We’ll discuss what makes these grapes so special, where you’ll see them grown, and which famous wines you’ll find them in. And of course we’ll taste all six!
Please join us for an immersive tasting experience as we weave through the story of Joseph Carr.
We will talk about how Joe discovered his passion for wine; what led him to starting his namesake label from the Napa Valley; and how the wine he made to honor his father, Josh, became one of America’s most beloved Cabernets.
You’ll have the opportunity to taste and discover how the Josh Cellars varietals compare with their Joseph Carr counterparts

"Two eye-catching flag displays surfaced downtown on Monday.
One, in Draper Memorial Park, is a tribute to war veterans, with tall poles bearing American flags stationed at intervals, most including a photo and the name of a military serviceman.
The other is a sea of 2,000 small pink flags across the street, filling the front lawn of the Milford Police Station.
The second is an effort by a local organization, Missin’ Matt, Inc., to raise awareness for the opioid epidemic during the week of International Overdose Awareness Day."
"Margaret Robicheau keeps a calendar on her desk at work to keep track of her 7-year-old’s school schedule.
She has marked off at least four full days and five half-days for professional development, along with 25 vacation days. And ensuring someone can look after her children each of those days seems impossible.
“My husband and I cannot possibly take all the time off in addition to the summer-school vacation,” Robicheau said.
The Plainville mother is not alone."

"For years, Franklin has made it onto the list of safest cities in the Unites States. This year, according to SafeWise, it is ranked the 52nd-safest city in the country.
Population-wise, said police Sgt. Brian Johnson, Franklin is one of the biggest cities on the list, despite its relatively town-like atmosphere.
The ranking is based on the most recent FBI crime report (https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016)."
