Franklin Downtown Partnership: General Meeting - Agenda for Thursday, Feb 7

FSPA alum returns to coach musical theatre students in "Bring It On"
The Franklin School for the Performing Arts (FSPA) Musical Theater Department will present Bring it On The Musical with an all-student cast on Saturday, February 9 and Sunday, February 10 at THE BLACK BOX in downtown Franklin.
FSPA student productions are directed, choreographed, and music directed by FSPA’s outstanding faculty, but Bring It On the Musical also required some outside coaching for the cheerleading stunts central to the musical’s plot. FSPA brought in alumna Brooke Collins to work with the students and turn a group of musical theater students into convincing cheerleaders.
Brooke Collins, originally from Franklin, grew up studying dancing, singing, and acting at the Franklin School for the Performing Arts. She was featured in FSPA’s senior dance ensemble CenterStage with whom she traveled to Walt Disney World, performed frequently with the Franklin Performing Arts Company, and toured the U.K., France, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria with Electric Youth.
In addition to her performance studies at FSPA,Collins was also a cheerleader at her academic school Bishop Feehan. After graduating from FSPA in 2017, Collins was selected to be on Providence College’s elite Dance Team. As a Freshman, she danced with them around the country ending the year at Madison Square Garden.
Bitingly relevant, sprinkled with sass, and inspired by the hit film, Bring It On The Musical takes audiences on a high-flying journey that is filled with the complexities of friendship, jealousy, betrayal and forgiveness. Collins has been working with FSPA’s cast on perfecting some lifts and stunts to incorporate in the show about two competing cheerleading teams.
FSPA Junior Susauna Wickstrom who plays Campbell says of working with Collins, “All of us were so happy to see an old friend who had grown up and learned so much. For her to come back and share a bit of her knowledge was so so special.”
Uniting some of the freshest and funniest creative minds on Broadway, Bring It On features an original story by Tony Award winner, Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q), music and lyrics by Tony Award-winning composer, Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights, Hamilton), music by Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning composer, Tom Kitt (Next to Normal), lyrics by Broadway lyricist, Amanda Green (High Fidelity), and was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Musical.
Tickets for Bring It On the Musical are available at www.fspaonline.com or by calling 508-528-8668. FSPA is also offering an “All-Access Pass” to prospective students which includes a free trial class and tickets to an upcoming performance like Bring It On the Musical.

Tri-County Senior Earns Eagle Scout Rank
Dennis Donahue, a senior from Franklin, in the Early Education career program at Tri-County Regional, was recently honored for becoming an Eagle Scout, the highest achievement in Boy Scouts.
One of the requirements to become an Eagle Scout is to complete a project that benefits the community. Dennis chose to refurbish a storage shed, which houses equipment and materials in the outside play area at Tri-County’s student and teacher run preschool, The Tri-County’s Children’s Center, where Dennis is a student.
Donahue started the project last summer under the direction of Tri-County’s vocational director, facilities director and superintendent. He painted, stained, leveled the floor, built organizational shelving and added new bins to the shed. He recruited fellow troop members to help out. Dennis was able to purchase the items needed through donations made by people within the community after utilizing social media requesting donations.
Through his leadership, his troop's assistance, the community, and friends and family his project was completed this past August. He successfully completed his Eagle Board review on January 15, 2019. Dennis is the son of Dennis and Doreen Donahue of Franklin. After graduation, Dennis plans on enlisting in the United States Air Force.

Superfan at Benchmark Senior Living
"Even when he was on the field, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was always present at Benchmark Senior Living, thanks to one superfan who witnessed four Super Bowls while working for the organization.
Program Director Lois Abramo unfailingly places her life-size cardboard cutout of Gronk in the main room any time the Patriots play, both for good luck and to remind her of the eight years she spent working for the team.
The Norfolk resident and past season ticket holder worked at the Patriots Hall of Fame museum at Gillette Stadium from 2010 to last May. She coordinated field trips, provided tours and had the chance to meet many of the players.
Many people, she said, don’t know the museum exists, though busloads of students on field trips come through the doors nearly every day."

health costs help drive school budgets
"Massachusetts residents have become accustomed to watching local school budgets increase over the years.
The annual growth -- somewhat routine -- is typically chalked up as reasonable, and there’s not much pushback in a state where education performance repeatedly ranks No. 1 in the nation.
One of the most notable drivers of cost, however, is something not typically found in a classroom -- health insurance.
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, or DESE, tracks school expenditures each year, including public funding, grants, private donations and revolving accounts."

Town Council - Jan 30, 2019 - Recap
Swearing In
One of the nice points to open the Town Council meeting was the swearing in of two new Deputy Chiefs for the Fire Dept: James Klich, Joseph Barbieri. This was anticipated from the announcement at the Finance Committee meeting held at the Senior Center a couple of weeks ago.
 |
| Assistant Town Clerk Nancy Danelo (in blue) swearing in the new Deputy chiefs |
Road acceptances
This has been a slow and tedious process as Franklin works slowly eliminating the backlog left by various developers. The town will do plowing and potholes but if road needs to be rebuilt, it is not done unless the town owns the road.
There was a correction of "Carter" to 'Canter" way. it is correct in the actual resolution, only the agenda listing was incorrect.
The Council adjusted the agenda to vote on the road acceptances and let the residents leave the meeting early.
Water Works
Next up was the DPW and their presentation on the overall water supply and plans for the next round of improvements. As you may recall the road rebuilds are coordinated with physical road requirements as well as the water pipe and sewer considerations. Page 17 shows the current plan road by road over the next several years.
Also discussed was the water treatment facility for wells 3 and 6. Related to water is sewer and the major expense coming will be the replacement of the Beaver St connector which is over 100 years old.
Capital budget
The Town Council then got to the financial business of approving the use of $2.2M of the free cash along with allocations from the water and sewer funds to meet the total of $4.5M of capital requirements. The Finance Committee had already heard the details from each of the departments on their requests. The recordings of both meetings were share here earlier.
Additional transactions to allocate some of the free cash to make the annual deposits on the field turf replacements, the Fire truck replacement, and the contribution to OPEB funding.
