"For the Franklin boys basketball team, terrific defense led to easy offense.
And that combination resulted in a dominant performance and a comfortably 57-36 win over visiting Attleboro.
The Panthers flipped a two-point game upside down with a 20-0 run over the final six minutes of the second quarter to pull away from the Bombardiers, who entered the contest with a chance to win at least a share of its first Kelley-Rex title.
Franklin limited the visitors to just 22% shooting from the field in the opening half as the Bombardiers couldn’t find a connection from deep, going just 1-for-17 from three-point range. And with consistent stops, Franklin’s pushed the pace and cashed in with an impressive transition offense, converting some easy looks down low. Franklin shot 65% from the field in the opening half, making 12-of-18 shots from two-point range."Continue reading the recap

 The MBTA and MassDOT invite you to participate in a Rail Vision Open House. It will take place on Tuesday, March 5, from 4:30 to 7:00 PM in the Transportation Board Room at 10 Park Plaza (2nd floor). The goal of the event is to provide information on the seven service alternatives we are considering in Rail Vision, while gathering input from riders and non-riders alike on these futures. The first hour will be an Open House format, where attendees can browse maps and boards describing the seven service alternatives and discuss questions and feedback with the study team. There will be a presentation at 5:30, followed by Q&A and then a return to the Open House format. Please share the meeting information as widely as you can with your organizations, communities, and contacts. https://www.mbta.com/events/2019-03-05/rail-vision-open-house For more information about Rail Vision, please visit the study website at https://www.mbta.com/projects/rail-vision The Rail Vision Team |

"For the second time, hearts adorn the Franklin Town Common, strung up from tree to tree to celebrate both Valentine’s Day and Random Acts of Kindness Week.
Uxbridge High School adjustment counselor Alison Ciccone saw the positive impact of the project a few years ago and decided last year it was time to bring it to Franklin.
The project has been going on for seven years in Uxbridge, but it’s Franklin’s second year being involved, she said. In Uxbridge they hung over 1,000 hearts, while in Franklin they hung about 500 this year, but the movement is certainly growing, she said."

When Carl, a teenager, wants to run away from home, he applies for a job with the mysterious Professor Pinecone and his traveling magical marionette puppet show. He quickly discovers, however, that the position comes with all kinds of strings attached. Once he feels the magical jolt in Professor Pinecone’s handshake, he embarks on the audition of his life.
In this play-within-a-play, Carl becomes Pinocchio and improvises his way through the story, meeting some familiar characters — including a cricket with an attitude (“I’m Gonna Bug Ya”), the devious fox and cat (“Easy Money”) and the memorable Blues Fairy (“Blues Fairy Mama”) — as well as some new ones. With the help of this eclectic cast, Carl stumbles upon life’s lessons as he’s forced to make important decisions. After a string of poor choices (which makes his nose grow and ultimately leads him to make a donkey of himself), he finally does something good for a change by saving Geppetto from the mouth of a giant shark."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)
