In the News: Galvin, Amore debate gets nasty; Ayyadurai in long-shot bid as independent

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

"The only debate in the secretary of state’s race ended with the candidates branding each other “a liar” and “a faker,” capping off a testy exchange in which the two men sparred over voter identification, electoral security, the way the incumbent runs his office, and his challenger’s background. 

Secretary Bill Galvin, a Brighton Democrat, went after Swampscott Republican Anthony Amore on WGBH’s “Greater Boston” over Amore’s voting record, speaking fees he’d accepted as an author, and his stance on voter ID requirements, which Galvin said came out of the “Republican playbook.” 

Amore, in turn, said Galvin had “no vision” for his office, relies on an antiquated security system and does not attend meetings of the historical commission that he chairs. 

Galvin does not support requiring identification to vote, saying voter ID laws have been used in other states “to prevent people from voting.”

"As many Republicans in Massachusetts work to keep a safe distance from President Donald Trump this election season, one candidate from outside the party is going the other way, fighting to be recognized as a standard-bearer for the president’s anti-establishment populism as he makes a long-shot bid for U.S. Senate. 

Shiva Ayyadurai, a former researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and entrepreneur who claims to have invented email as a teenager, is running a scorched-earth campaign in which he casts himself as a working man’s hero – despite his advanced degrees and business acumen – raging against what he sees as a conspiracy between the Republican and Democratic parties in Massachusetts to keep Sen. Elizabeth Warren in power. According to this narrative, for which Ayyadurai provides only anecdotal evidence, the Republican candidate in the race, state Rep. Geoff Diehl of Whitman, is a pawn of both parties whose only purpose in the race is to take away votes from Ayyadurai, the real “Trumper” in the race."

Election Information for Nov 2018

"it’s likely that traffic flow, and public safety will likely be the biggest part of the conversation"

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

"A public hearing will be held to discuss a new pathway on Grove Street that could benefit local business Grove Street Towing and Tire. 

The hearing will take place Nov. 19 at 7 p.m. in the Town Council Chambers at the Franklin Municipal Building. The purpose is to discuss a new entrance for the company’s tow trucks that goes against a set zoning bylaw. 

The space between the entrance and the proposed space is about 135 feet, while the town requires 150 feet in order to meet the current zoning requirement, thus the need for the hearing, according to Patrick Weidman, owner of Grove Street Towing and Tire. 

There is currently a gravel pathway in the proposed space, but it’s not usable for the company’s trucks."

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

"Anyone who frequents the walking path at the Sculpture Park in the morning is sure to see ducks enjoying breakfast. And Marty Kenzerski is usually in the midst of the flock. 

Much like Cesar Millan, the acclaimed “Dog Whisperer,” Kenzerski can expect the ducks to gather around his car as he pulls into the Franklin Police Department lot, where he typically parks in the morning. 

The ducks then usually keep a close eye on the Franklin resident, but oftentimes end up walking down the path behind him to the area where they know they’ll be fed the typical meal of dry oats."

Tri-County: The TC Insider

October 19, 2018 To the Tri-County Community, I want to thank the Athletic Boosters along with our Athletic Director, Sara Martin, for sponsoring Homecoming last Friday. Homecoming is traditionally our first extracurricular activity of the year and almost 400 students attended the event in our cafeteria. The football team responded on Saturday by beating Holbrook 41-0 for their fifth win of the season against one loss. This fall has provided some very entertaining and exciting competitions. The volleyball team is undefeated and has already qualified for the state tournament. Both the boys' and girls' soccer teams are well on their way to qualifying as well. Our cheerleaders will be competing for the first time this season next Sunday the 21st at Oliver Ames HS in Easton, MA. Despite the weather, we have had many fans come out to our games to cheer for our teams and we appreciate the support. After over a year of preparation, we received our NEASC visiting team this week.  NEASC stands for New England Association of Schools and Colleges. We had a team of over 20 educators from all over New England in the school to evaluate our programs. I want the thank the School Committee, parents, students, and faculty that participated in the self-study as well as those pitching in this week for their support. Up next this month are our Career Days on October 25th and 26th, where area middle schools visit us over a two-day period to explore career options and our programs. The two Career Days are followed immediately on November 1st by our Grade 8 Open House. These are great events for any eighth-grade student considering a technical education in high school to check us out. We would appreciate your help in spreading the word about these great events.    Remember – Work Hard, Today Counts, Mr. Procaccini Upcoming Events Career Days October 25 and October 26 Tours begin at 8 AM No School for Tri-County Students Grade 8 Open House November 1 @ 6:30 PM End of the Quarter November 9th Veteran's Day Observed November 12 - No School Early Release Day November 21 Thanksgiving Recess November 22-23 About The TC Insider The TC Insider is a biweekly newsletter for the families of Tri-County students.
