Medway to Walpole Reliability Project - Open House - September 20
Dear Neighbor,
You are invited to join us at an open house at Franklin Senior Center on Thursday, September 20th, 2018 between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. This is an opportunity for you to
learn more about proposed transmission system upgrades in your community. As part of the Medway to Walpole Reliability Project, we will separate two existing transmission lines onto new structures along an existing right of way (power line corridor). Spanning approximately 9 miles from Eversource’s West Medway Substation to the Walpole Substation, the separation project will take place in portions of Bellingham, Franklin, Medway, Millis, Norfolk and Walpole. While no new line will be added, the project team plans to place new single-pole structures within the existing right of way which is included on page two of this
letter.
We’re Always Working to Serve You Better
The proposed project will improve the transmission system in your community, ensuring customers will continue to have reliable electric power to meet their growing energy needs. The Medway to Walpole Reliability Project will also ensure that the area’s electric grid conforms to national and regional reliability standards. Since a portion of the proposed project route is located near your property, we are committed to keeping you updated as the project advances toward construction. In support of that effort, Eversource will be holding an Open House to provide you with information and an opportunity meet with members of the project team and ask questions about the project.
Open House for the proposed Medway to Walpole Reliability Project will be held
Drop in between 5 p.m. - 7 p.m.

FHS football team preview for 2018 season
HockomockSports.com has published their Kelly-Rex Division Preview for the 2018 football season. The recap for Franklin High School is shared here. The link for the preview of the other teams in the Kelly-Rex Division is provided below.
FRANKLIN
2017 Record: 3-8
2017 Finish: Missed playoffs
Coach: Eian Bain
Key/Returning Players: Ryan Driscoll, Sr., WR/DB; Sean Leonard, Sr., TE; Evan Wertz, Jr., LB; Sean Hofferty, Sr., RB; Liam Arsenault, Sr., OL/DL; Nick Gordon, Sr., QB/DB; Riley Downing, Sr., OL/DL; Will Davis, Sr., WR; Jack Jarosz, Sr., OL/DL; Jack Nally, Jr., WR; Jake Davis, Jr., WR/DB; Dom Natale, Jr., OL/DL; Thomas Gasbarro, Jr., QB/DB; Nolan McLaney, Sr., DB;
Outlook:
Third-year head coach Eian Bain is optimistic about the 2018 season, and the long list of players returning with plenty of experience is a big reason why. The Panthers have over a dozen players back that started or saw significant time on offense and the same goes for the defense, include a very seasoned secondary.
Franklin must replace three-year starter Jake Noviello at quarterback but Bain is confident that a healthy competition between senior Nick Gordon and junior Thomas Gasbarro will result in a strong option starting under center for the opening week. While Franklin has to replace its quarterback, they return a ton of skill players on offense including senior tight end Sean Leonard, who hauled in a league-best eight touchdown passes last season. Ryan Driscoll (five touchdowns), Jack Nally, Will Davis, and Jake Davis will fill out the receiving corps while Sean Hofferty and Owen Palmieri man the backfield. Seniors Riley Downing and Liam Arsenault are experienced and will anchor the offensive line.
Junior Evan Wertz will be a key piece in the middle of the Panthers’ defense after having a breakout campaign last year with nearly 100 tackles from his linebacker spot. Senior Spencer Briggs and sophomore Alex Honor will also see time at linebacker while Downing is joined by Jack Jarosz, Dom Natale, and Keenan Bassma on the defensive line. The Panthers boast a seasoned secondary with Nolan McLaney and Driscoll both back, along with Palmieri, Jake Davis, and both Gasbarro and Gordon.
“We have experience on both sides of the ball,” Bain said. “It is a cohesive group that has been working hard together for our first two years and they are eager to the turn the corner with our program.”
