FY20 budget keeps state on good path I was proud to be a part of the unanimous vote to approve the FY20 budget. Funded at $43.1 billion, the budget makes major investments in education, housing, substance use disorder services, health care, and other areas while projecting a more than $476 million deposit into the Stabilization Fund – bringing the fund's balance to more than $3 billion to safeguard the future of vital programs and services. The budget includes the largest annual increase ever ($269 million) in K-12 education spending support through the state's Chapter 70 account, drug pricing control reforms, and directs $50 million to help stabilize the nursing home industry. Franklin and Medway will receive state assistance in a number of areas as well. For Franklin, the state is "hitting the reset button" on charter school reimbursements, and will provide nearly $1 million in charter tuition reimbursement in addition to $28,416,161 in Chapter 70 aid. Franklin will also get $50,000 for the SAFE Coalition to provide support, education, treatment options, and coping mechanisms for those affected by substance use disorder; $100,000 for the construction of a parking lot at the Franklin State Forest; $58,000 for its Substance Abuse Task Force; $25,000 for the Franklin Downtown Partnership; and $50,000 to develop and implement a vaping prevention program in the Franklin public schools. Medway will see $10,501,419 in Chapter 70 aid; $170,000 for the purchase of public safety equipment; $135,000 for accessibility and safety improvements at the Lovering Heights Senior Citizens Complex; $25,000 for the community farm and $100,000 for programs for at-risk students in the Medway Public Schools, including the T.H.R.I.V.E. Substance Abuse Prevention Program. Massachusetts is dealing with several important societal issues, like the opioid epidemic, public safety, aging infrastructure, and an aging population. The budget strikes a balance that takes on these challenges and maintains our commitment to our communities, our children, our seasoned citizens, and the disabled as well as advancing economic development and the arts.  Copyright © 2019 State Rep Jeff Roy, All rights reserved.   You are receiving this email because you either contacted our office or indicated you wanted to keep updated on the 10th Norfolk District and things going on at the State House.

Hockomock Field Hockey: Players to Watch - Ledwith, Lewandowski, FHS

HockomockSports.com Staff has published their preview of the "Hockomock Field Hockey: Players to Watch in 2019"


Maeve Ledwith, Senior – Franklin

"Franklin senior Maeve Ledwith has become one of the top defensive players in the Hock and she leads a strong defensive unit that was just minutes away from upsetting Walpole in last year’s South semifinal and is poised to make a run at this year’s Kelley-Rex division title.

Ledwith is a vocal leader at the back and her speed and stick skills make her tough to get by and also tough to take the ball off of once she gets it. Ledwith also showed off her vision to start Franklin transitions. The Panthers return a strong core from the team that was so close to making the South final last year and Ledwith’s leadership as a three-year starter gives the Franklin defense an edge that will make them tough to score against."

Amanda Lewandowski, Junior – Franklin

"During last year’s state tournament, Amanda Lewandowski emerged as one of the team’s most dynamic attacking threats, scoring five goals as Franklin made a run to the South semifinal and nearly pulled off an upset of Walpole to reach the final. Lewandowski scored five of her 13 goals during the tournament, stepping up when the Panthers needed her the most, to spark that playoff push.

Lewandowski also added 13 assists and her 26 points for the season was among the best in the league. Although Franklin will have to manage the graduation of do-everything midfielder Cassi Ronan, Lewandowski leads a still relatively young forward group that is capable of firing in the goals and firing the Panthers back into contention for the Kelley-Rex title. If she can carry over the momentum from last year’s tournament, Lewandowski may find herself at the top of the league scoring charts this fall."

Hockomock Volleyball: Players to Watch - Bonnet-Eymard, FHS

HockomockSports.com Staff has published their preview of the "Hockomock Volleyball: Players to Watch in 2019"

Allyson Bonnet-Eymard, Junior – Franklin

"Franklin had a very senior heavy lineup during the 2018 season and that’s a big reason why the Panthers went undefeated in the regular season and won their first ever sectional title. But they also had a couple of underclassmen step up and Allyson Bonnet-Eymard was one of them.

This year, Bonnet-Eymard is going to see a much bigger role and will likely be the go-to option on offense for a new-look Franklin team. She was third on the team last year with 102 kills, showing off a lot of power for just a sophomore. She’s a versatile player too and could see time in the setter position this year and will also be an important defensive player for Franklin."

Girls Soccer: 2019 Kelley-Rex Division Preview - Franklin

2019 Kelley-Rex Girls Soccer Preview By HockomockSports.com Staff. We share the Franklin summary here. A link to the full listing is below.

2018 Record: 10-3-5
2018 Finish: Reached D1 South First Round
Coach: Tom Geysen

"Franklin lost only three games all of last season and had one of the league’s best defensive records, allowing only 10 goals in 18 games. That solidity in the defensive third will be hard to replicate, as the Panthers graduated three of last year’s back four, but there is also hope that the promising young attackers can take some of the pressure off by improving on the team’s 40 goals scored, which was seventh best in the Hock.

Senior Sabrina Addi is the lone returning defender for the Panthers, but she will get help from senior goalie Breanna Atwood to try and organize an inexperienced defense. Freshman Norah Anderson will jump into the center of the defense and looks ready for the physical challenge of Hock play. Senior Sam Powderly will drop back from midfield to help out as well.

Once the Panthers get the ball back, there are plenty of familiar faces to try and get goals. Senior Anna Balkus can play a number of different positions, including in the heart of midfield, the wing, or in the attack. Sophomore Stella Regan is coming off a breakout rookie season and adds even more pace to the center of the pitch, while senior Carly Alston is a solid performer on both sides of the ball. In the attack, juniors Erin Quaile and Sydney St. Marie are looking to make the leap to add more consistent scoring.

“I know the kids with experience won’t back down,” said Franklin coach Tom Geysen, “but I need to see how the younger kids will react to this level. I need to see if they can physically cope with playing where I need them to play.”

Register O'Donnell Announces 37,000th Book Printed at Registry of Deeds

	Norfolk County Registry of Deeds
	Register O'Donnell Announces 37,000th Book Printed at Registry of Deeds Celebrating a significant milestone at the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds, Register William P. O'Donnell today announced the Registry recently completed printing its 37,000th book of recorded land documents. Register O'Donnell noted, "The printing of our 37,000th book, which includes land documents such as deeds, homesteads, mortgages and mortgage discharges, is a significant event in the life of the Registry and a testament to the volume of work completed each and every business day here at the Registry of Deeds. The printing of Book 37,000 links us to the Registry's rich history that dates back to 1793. "While the printing of books is ongoing, it is important to note the Registry continues to embrace and utilize cutting edge technologies allowing us to record land documents instantaneously. Documents are scanned and available for viewing within 24 business hours of recording at www.norfolkdeeds.org." "Our computer systems are backed up on a nightly and weekly basis. This redundancy allows the Registry to maintain a permanent record of all land document recordings in the event of a disaster affecting our building at 649 High Street, Dedham. Additionally, the Registry also microfilms all recorded land documents and ships the microfilm off-site to a secure location where it can be retrieved in the event of a catastrophe," stated the Register. Residents and those with an interest in Norfolk County property are encouraged to visit the Registry of Deeds. Users of the Registry have options to view land documents by whichever means they are comfortable. Either hard copy via books or on-line by one of our many computer workstations available to the public or from the convenience of their home or work computer. Concluding his remarks, Register O'Donnell stated, "The core mission of the Registry of Deeds is to record land documents in a safe, secure and accessible manner. Part of this charge is to serve as a depository for over 8 million land documents recorded from the Registry's beginning in 1793 right up to the present day. While we have embraced the latest technologies to improve efficiencies, the printing of books allow us to maintain a permanent hard copy record of each recorded land document on-site." To learn more about these and other Registry of Deeds events and initiatives, like us at facebook.com/NorfolkDeeds or follow us on twitter.com/NorfolkDeeds and/or Instagram.com/NorfolkDeeds. The Norfolk County Registry of Deeds is located at 649 High Street in Dedham. The Registry is a resource for homeowners, title examiners, mortgage lenders, municipalities and others with a need for secure, accurate, accessible land record information. All land record research information can be found on the Registry's website www.norfolkdeeds.org.
