"150 tons of washed beach sand poured to a depth of 12 inches"

There may not be any surf nearby, but there’s certainly plenty of sand at King Memorial Park in Franklin where the town has paired with a local Eagle Scout to construct a regulation-sized beach volleyball court. 

The idea had been talked about for awhile in the Recreation Department office, according to director Ryan Jette, who said Program Director Megan Woodacre, a former collegiate volleyball player and coach, had been looking into what it would take to construct a regulation-size court. 

That’s when local teenager Jack Jenkins approached the town with his idea to construct a beach volleyball court as part of his Eagle Scout project.

In the News: Franklin candidates, NE power sources

One new candidate took out papers recently to run for local office, and two have returned their nomination forms with the needed signatures. 

Franklin School Committee member John Jewell sought papers to retain his seat on Aug. 21, the most recent candidate to have done so. 

Town Council candidate Judith Pond Pfeffer and Board of Health candidate Donald Ranieri Jr., both incumbents, returned papers over the last week. Ranieri's signatures have been certified, and he will be on the ballot.

From 2000 to 2014, Bloomberg said the system’s power has shifted from being generated by coal, nuclear and oil, to natural gas. 

In 2000, nuclear energy made up 18 percent of the system’s capacity, or maximum power that can be generated with existing resources. That figure is now down to 15 percent. 

Oil made up 34 percent of the system’s capacity, but dropped to 21 percent in 2014. 

Coal, the dirtiest fuel in terms of air pollution, dropped from 12 percent to 7 percent capacity, while natural gas, which emits less carbon emissions than any other fossil fuel, increased from 18 percent to 43 percent. 

Power from hydro-electric dams and other renewables, including wind and solar, decreased from 11 percent to 9 percent capacity, but Bloomberg said that is mainly due to several hydro plants being shut down.

Shades IN Place: Boy...Oh boy!

I drove in six weeks what people drive in 6 months View on the web

The Blind Spot 'Shady' stories in the life of a Brazilian (small) biz owner August - 2015 Roger Magalhaes Shades IN Place Inc. Owner & Blind Installer I think that August should have 60 days in its month. At least we could enjoy Summer a little longer.... I know I would. Too many things to do before the longer days are gone... Enjoy the short newsletter while at the beach and pay special attention to my newest section at the end called But Before I Go... Hope you'll enjoy!   Boy...Oh Boy! Last month I wrote about my new working van and how happy I was. Can you believe that, in a little over six weeks, I have driven almost 5,500 miles already? Yeah, between jobs all over the place like Boston, Cape Cod and the Islands, Motorization Courses, Plantation Shutter courses, and a tax-free weekend, our monthly newsletter took a backseat (no pun intended). I know that you didn't really miss me, as window shades aren't required at the beach. But next month, things are getting back to normal. Sorry for breaking the news that Summer is almost over! (in case you didn't know it). Before you know it, it will be time for home decorating again and new window treatments. Why not avoid the rush and start thinking about what to do (see photos to inspire) with those large windows in the living and dining room? Perhaps you've been putting off getting those new blackout shades for a better night's sleep in your bedroom? No problem, just call or text my cell phone at 508-904-2108, or shoot me an email to schedule a visit. But Before I Go....Last Tuesday on August 25th, it was our wedding anniversary. And what better way to celebrate than to bring Ana with me to Nantucket? Now, don't let me fool you...I went there to work, but the install was completed by noon and we enjoyed the rest of the afternoon at the beach appreciating the breeze and the ocean, and took a moment to look forward to many more anniversaries to come! What I do... People don't shop for window coverings often. In fact many haven't  bought new shades in 15 - 20 years! My job is to introduce you to the many wonderful features & benefits  that automated shades have to offer. As a result you will be able to control privacy, home security (protection) and prevent sun fading via smartphones and tablets whether you are home or away.
