Framingham firefighter memorial seeks final $47K

The Framingham Firefighter Memorial Foundation has raised $103,000 toward a $150,000 goal to build a permanent memorial honoring Framingham firefighters who served the city. The project is $47,000 short of its fundraising goal, according to a community announcement, and the foundation is seeking additional donations and corporate sponsorships. The memorial is planned for Framingham Fire Department Headquarters at 10 Loring Drive. It will include a 6-foot bronze firefighter statue, a granite wall with the names of firefighters who died in service to the city and an area recognizing past members of the department. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in May. The bronze statue and granite base have been paid for. "We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and support shown by our community, local businesses, and city leaders in helping bring our Firefighter Memorial project to life," said retired firefighter Dana M. Tesorero, a director of the Framingham Firefighter Memorial Foundation. "Thanks to your support, we have raised nearly 75% of our fundraising goal, and we are proud of the progress made.

Neighborhood-Fit Test for Lincoln Variances Has Narrowed, Board Told

The board's legal counsel told members that, under a state change, the neighborhood-character test for dimensional variances now looks only at the specific relief requested, not the whole project. Members questioned whether that leaves room to consider design, and one speaker said it could affect the board's practice of asking for renderings. The issue is expected to come up again when a previously denied application returns.

St. John Paul II boys soccer comes from behind to reach D5 Elite Eight

The St. John Paul II boys soccer team is headed back to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association Division 5 Elite Eight. The fourth-seeded Lions (14-4-3) battled to a 3-1 victory over 13th-seeded Roxbury Prep on Wednesday. Roxbury Prep took the lead against the run of play before Elie Youssef leveled the match with a scrappy extra-effort play in the box. Max DePaula, who would score on either side of the break, then gave St. John Paul II a 2-1 lead. DePaula made it a two-goal advantage for St. John Paul II with 25 minutes remaining after he was first to Quinn Dillon's knockdown header off a corner kick. Despite falling behind early, St. John Paul II maintained control of the match and had a plethora of chances to further add to the lead through target man Eli Bassil and DePaula but the two were held at bay. St. John Paul II will host the winner of No. 5 Brighton and No. 12 Nashoba Valley, who play on Thursday. The game date and time are to be determined.
