FHS Indoor Track MSTCA Relays: Girls team ties for 1st Place

Tough day for FHS hockey girls and boys teams

Via Twitter and our subscription to HockomockSports .com, we share the results of the fall sports competition for Franklin High School on Saturday, Jan 20, 2024.

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 4 @ King Philip, 5 – Final

Twitter thread via https://twitter.com/R_Lanigan

Highly anticipated Kelley-Rex showdown on the ice at Foxboro Sports Center. King Philip (4-1 Hockomock, 8-7-2) hosting rival Franklin (4-1, 8-7-0), winner controls its destiny in division title race
Sophomore Grady Bianculli throws one on net, looked covered originally but it popped loose and sophomore Joe Robison tucks it in. Great start for the Warriors up 1-0 with 12:44 left 1P
Deflected clearance falls right to Ben Paterson for a breakaway and last year’s Hock MVP snaps one off the iron and it’s ruled a goal. Panthers pull level, 1-1 with 10:18 left 1P
Paterson gets his second, left free to clean up a rebound right in front and Franklin takes a 2-1 lead with 7:10 left 1P
Back and forth we go. Bianculli tees up Rowan Boulger and he rips one in and now the Warriors tie it up, 2-2, with 6:38 left 1P
End 1P: Franklin 2, King Philip 2. Warriors struck first, Panthers jumped ahead with two in a row but the hosts pulled even — all within the first nine minutes
King Philip cashes in with seconds left on a 5-on-3. Bianculli’s shot partially cleared but only as far as senior Sam Naggar and his blast from the blue line finds its way through traffic. KP back up, 3-2, with 7:39 left 2P
Great hustle from Max Robison leads to a breakaway that's stopped but Boulger follows up and uses a nice move alone in front for a short handed goal. King Philip up 4-2, 6:24 left 2P
End 2P: King Philip 4, Franklin 2. Big period for the Warriors with a power play goal and a short handed goal
Franklin gets one back within the first minute of the third. Slip behind the net leads to a chance, Dan Daley puts one on the doorstep for Anthony Lampasona. KP lead cut to 4-3, 14:06 left 3P
Massive response from King Philip. Jack Morgan comes streaking down the right side and flips one in just inside the post for an unassisted goal. Warriors back up two at 5-3 with 13:05 left 3P
Final: King Philip 5, Franklin 4. Warriors take down the Panthers and now sit in the driver’s seat in the Kelley-Rex division with two league games left. Trevor Walmsley with 26 saves in the win

Girls Hockey = Franklin, 2 @ Medfield, 3 – Final (OT)

– Franklin scored in the third to tie the game up but Medfield pulled out the win in the extra period. Julia Flynn opened the scoring in the first period but the host Warriors potted a pair in the middle period to take a 2-1 lead. Flynn grabbed her second of the game in the third to force overtime. Lindsay Dennett, Nina Ianuzzi, Haley Wernig, and Maddie O’Brien each had an assist for the Panthers.

Tewksbury Quad (Franklin) – The Panthers went up against some of the top teams in the state, falling to Melrose (54-30), Shawsheen (58-15), and host Tewskbury (60-18). Jack Rosenberger had a successful day with three pins while Riley Carlucci had two pins.

Chapters - WFPR • Jim Derick: Dr. Cathy Ripley Greene (audio)

“We are not dead, we are living in another dimension."

In this episode we speak with professional Medium, Dr. Cathy Ripley Greene. Over the years Cathy has met with hundreds of people mourning the loss of loved ones, as well as those simply curious about the process.

As an evidence-based Medium, Cathy provides connection to those that have passed. Cathy insists that those that live in Spirit offer information and evidence which validates their identity. This evidence assures her clients that they are indeed communicating with their loved ones.

As a little girl Cathy was aware of her unique ability. In later life, Cathy practiced as a Doctor of Chiropractic medicine and was keenly aware of her connection to those that lived in Spirit.

Cathy resides in Norfolk, Massachusetts and is now a full-time professional Medium. She offers one on one private sessions, family / friend sessions, as well as small and large group gallery sessions.

We talk path dependence, critical juncture, and behavioral changes in this Making Sense of Climate episode (audio)

FM #1138 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1138 in the series.

This session of the radio show shares the output of The Climate Minute podcast episode hosted by Ted McIntyre, Franklin resident and climate activist. We met to record in the Franklin TV & Public Radio studio on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.

The topic thread we talked of as we continued this "making sense of climate" discussion went something like this:

Climate Leader Community
State pilot to allow gas bans in 10 communities
Path dependence
Critical juncture
Behavioral changes underlying energy revolution/overshoot/planetary management
Need for new behavior now
End of world? Viewpoints matter.

This discussion continues our journey understanding the MA roadmap toward net zero and while it helps me “make sense of climate”, we hope it helps with your understanding as well.

If you have climate questions or Franklin specific climate questions, send them in and we’ll try to answer them in a future session.

The conversation runs about 54 minutes. Let’s listen to my conversation with Ted.

Cop28 deal will fail unless rich countries quit fossil fuels, says climate negotiator | Fossil fuels | The Guardian

"The credibility of the Cop28 agreement to “transition away” from fossil fuels rides on the world’s biggest historical polluters like the US, UK and Canada rethinking current plans to expand oil and gas production, according to the climate negotiator representing 135 developing countries.

In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Pedro Pedroso, the outgoing president of the G77 plus China bloc of developing countries, warned that the landmark deal made at last year’s climate talks in Dubai risked failing.

“We achieved some important outcomes at Cop28 but the challenge now is how we translate the deal into meaningful action for the people,” Pedroso said.

“As we speak, unless we lie to ourselves, none of the major developed countries, who are the most important historical emitters, have policies that are moving away from fossil fuels, on the contrary, they are expanding,” said Pedroso."
