Mayor Taylor and Aldermen Wilhelm and Taylor greet the Franklin All-Star girls' teams.
Yes, I'll have to discuss the Fountains of Franklin/Fox Property/Alderman Sohns letter sooner or later, but in the short time I have today I wanted to post one of the more encouraging moments from Tuesday night's Common Council Meeting, when the Franklin Little League All-Stars were honored for winning the District 6 All-Star tournaments in the 9, 10 and 11 year-old brackets.
It was wonderful to see the community recognizing their achievement - - especially with the wide range of ages in attendance. It's extremely worthwhile for Franklin's seniors and younger folks to see one another in this context.
We'll deal with the eminent domain (!) and calls-for-resignation (!!) stuff another time; for now, let it be known that August 24th is hereby proclaimed Franklin Little League Girls Softball Day.
Nine year-old All-Stars
10 year-old All Stars
11 year-old All-Stars
Proclamation for nine year-old All-Stars
Pretty sharp group!
The girls aren't bad looking either ; )
Congrats to all of them and their coaches. And parents for raising such wonderful girls.

A nice recognition of the girl's great accomplishment. Congratulation to them for a fantastic season that will be fond memory for them for many years to come.
It's probably a good thing that they left the bats at home.

Next time you might want to Photoshop the Mayor out of your picture. It would have been less political that way.
Congratulation to the girls none the less.
PS. Steve Olson looked great in his new baseball cap.

We could definitely do with more recognitions like this at council meetings (an Eagle Scout was honored as well).
And my daughter was thrilled.
