Marathon Fund Donates Monies for HCA Outdoor Stage
HOPKINTON, MA (May 16, 2012) --- Thanks to monies provided by the Marathon Fund Committee, the Hopkinton Center for the Arts was recently able to purchase an indoor/outdoor stage. The stage was used for the first time during the HCA Spring Arts Festival, and will be used during the Summer Music Festival on June 23; Shakespeare Under the Stars on August 4, 5 and 6; and the Summer Jazz Festival every Saturday during the summer. It is also available for use by other non-profit groups in town.
“This was a very generous gift and will make a tremendous difference in our outdoor performances,” said Kelly Grill, executive director of the HCA. “Being slightly elevated and on a firm, stable surface is more comfortable for performers and also makes it easier for the audience to see them."

 UPDATE 21 Year-old Hopkinton Man in Serious Condition. Family seeking help.
The aunt of Nicholas Russo said that he and his mother are staying in her home temporarily, and would hope that the mystery of why he was in that area yesterday, and who may have been with him will be solved with the help of the public.
Nick made many friends in the neighborhood in the short time he has been staying with his aunt and her family, she said.
Anyone having information about yesterday's tragic circumstance and those leading up to it is urged to call Framingham Police 508-872-1212.
In addition, she hopes the press would not bother her family. Members of the press walked onto her property yesterday while her children were at home, and a neighbor needed to guard the front door and fend them off until she arrived. Photo contributed by family. |

CWG Shaping Elementary School Building Project Study
by Muriel Kramer The Criteria Working Group (CWG) has been tasked by the School Committee to create a list of criteria that will be used to shape the next Elementary School Building Project Study; the final results of their work are scheduled to be presented to the School Committee (SC) on Thursday June 7, 2012. Ideally the criteria is intended to incorporate feedback from the community after the failed vote in March 2011 for a new, districted elementary school on Fruit Street; that feedback was gathered from an exit poll at the Special Town Election, structured feedback working groups, a SC survey and from individual voters directly. Members of the community that are interested in shaping this discussion as it goes forward are encouraged to contact School Committee members, the Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jonathan Landman and/or Assistant Superintendent Dr. Mary Ann DeMello directly. The CWG has two more meetings before presenting their results to the School Committee; they are scheduled to meet in the Middle School Library from 6:30 to 9:30 on May 22 and May 29.
Discussion at the May 14th CWG meeting centered on refining the drafted criteria and assigning a priority on a scale of 1 (less important) to 3 (top priority); the approach yielded some criteria that stood out as priorities, but many were rated a 2. CWG member Kim Brennan asked about next steps and the schedule ahead expressing concern that the list to date doesn’t include many things of concern to the community. She commented that the list they were working on came from an initial exercise and may not include necessary priorities from the community. Dr. DeMello responded that she hoped that wasn’t so and asked if any others in the group felt that necessary criteria were missing.
Erica Mauer, representing SPEAC, responded, “Aren’t we the community? I feel like we have been able to tap in almost ad nauseam to the community.”
Others felt that they had reached out to neighbors, teachers, family and friends; Brennan responded, “It seems like the community is much broader than that. We are getting very close (to the final presentation), and I don’t think we’ve expanded into the community feedback.”
Member Tara Sanda asked, “Can you give an example of what hasn’t been addressed?”
Brennan responded that cost had not been addressed. Chirco immediately agreed. “I was going to say that too.”
Brennan continued, “I think it was a good starting exercise, but I don’t feel confidence in the comprehensive criteria work. I want this to be successful and as comprehensive as possible.” |

Sport of the Week Hopkinton Baseball Wins Their 10th behind Haroian’s Arm and Sullivan’s Bat - Qualifies For State Tournament With Exciting Victory Over a Tough Bellingham Squad, 8-5!!!
By: Lou Ottaviani
Going
into yesterday’s TVL baseball matchups with Hopkinton hosting
Bellingham, and Medfield taking on Holliston, Hopkinton was hoping
that something With Hopkinton and Bellingham playing each other, it was easy to figure out which one of those teams were going to drop down to the second place; and depending on the outcome of the Holliston/Medfield game, one would be able to determine which team Medfield would be pairing up with. Would Hopkinton be in a two-way tie for first with Medfield or would Bellingham have the honor of sharing second place with them? With their 8-5 victory, Hopkinton answered the first part of the question above. The second part would be answered by Medfield, as they beat Holliston by a score of 13-8. Hopkinton has played the Warriors twice this season taking away two wins from them, despite their identical records of 10-3. Prior to the game, both teams were showcasing their “Coaches vs. Cancer” wrist bands in support of the American Cancer Society awareness. The Hopkinton baseball team has raised approximately $1K dollars which they have donated to the American Cancer Society. “Janice Portlock does wonderful things working with Coaches vs. Cancer and we’re happy to be participating in this great cause,” said Hopkinton Coach Jay Golden. “Hopefully next year we can raise more money for them.” Winning this game was a significant accomplishment for the boys of “green and white” as well as with their staff. “Coming into this game with nine wins, our first goal as a team was to make tournament play,” said Golden. “Our win today clinched us a berth to the state tournament. I thought that Jake (Haroian) pitched a wonderful game, especially in the later innings against an excellent and well coached team. We knew that Bellingham would battle us to the end. We expected no less from a solid program. I thought that we did a good job keeping our hands back. Ryan’s (Sullivan) first homerun to right was a good example of that. Our defense played tremendously, particularly our left side of the infield and our catcher, Craig (Levergood) has been outstanding all year and today was no different.” For the first five innings, Hiller starter Jake Haroian had the Blackhawks just where he wanted them. The Hopkinton senior kept the Bellingham hitters off balance with great control and nice off speed pitches. “Coming into today’s game I felt relaxed and Craig (Levergood) called a great game,” said a modest Haroian. I was really excited knowing that a win would clinch us a tournament spot. So that was a big motivation for all of us today. Craig called a great game and as the game progressed my confidence continued to grow. My curve and sliders seemed to work well for me. Overall, I felt good throwing today. And good he should have felt. For his first five innings, Haroian had only thrown a total of 53 pitches with no inning throwing more than 14 pitches. He had a total of 37 pitches for strikes, or a 70% strike to ball ratio during those first five innings. The only run allowed during that time was a solo homerun by Joey Mangini in the top of the third. The Hillers provided support for Haroian right away, giving him a quick 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first. With one out, number two batter, Mike Decina (2 for 3, RBI, 2 runs scored) hit a line drive single to put him on first. Ryan Sullivan, who had an incredible offensive display at the plate (3 for 4, 6 RBI, 2 HR, 2 runs scored) proved to be the “hit dog” of the day. With the count 2-0, Sullivan took the next Brad Rebello pitch over the right field fence to put the Hillers on top of the Blackhawks. Rebello settled down over the next three innings and in the bottom of the fifth, he gave up four consecutive singles and was relieved by Kevin Martinis, with no outs. Martinis faced four Hopkinton batters and was able to stop the bleeding but not before Hopkinton was able to produce two more runs, both on RBI singles from Decina and Levergood, to make the score 4-1 at the bottom of the fifth. Coming out in the top of the sixth, Haroian threw 25 pitches (the most he had thrown in any inning thus far). Despite a bit of a struggle, Haroian kept his composure and focus and let his defense make the plays. Bellingham was able to muster up run to bring the score to 4-2, going into the bottom of the sixth. With Jack Yaggy leading off, he wasted little time reaching first as he took a Martinis fastball to the side. Alex Hulme watched four consecutive balls go by to give him a pass to first. Next up was Nick Burns, who was pinch hitting for Mike Decina (who had to leave the game in the fifth to attend an MIAA Football Scholar/Athlete Award banquet where he was a recipient of the award). Burns also reached first with a walk from Martinis. With the bases loaded, Bellingham brought in David Sampson to replace Martinis. Up to the plate was Ryan Sullivan. Sullivan greeted Sampson promptly on his first pitch by drilling a line drive homerun over the left centerfield fence for a grand slam to make the score, 8-2 for the Hillers. “I was looking for good pitches to hit today and knew that making the right selection was key for me,” said Sullivan. I was able to get two good pitches to hit that worked out well for me. I think that Jake pitched a great game for us which made it easier for us to play and gave us more confidence. He did a nice job working the batters and kept them off balance all game. This was a great win putting us in first place and clinching a tournament berth for us." Coming into the top of the seventh, Haroian’s pitch count was at 78. It appeared that Haroian may be tiring (as he finished the inning with 31 pitches, bringing his total pitch count to 109 for the day). His strike to ball ratio had dropped to 65% (strike to ball ratio). Through this inning, Bellingham could sense his fatigue, having collected four hits in that inning along with his second walk of the game. Haroian, however, hung tough and was determined to get through the inning. But not before the ever determined Blackhawks had their say, scoring three runs of their own to make it a go. However, it wasn’t enough, as Hopkinton prevailed by a score of 8-5. Along with Sullivan’s heroics, other Hillers contributing offensively included: Craig Levergood (2 for 4, RBI); Mike Decina (2 for 3, RBI, Run); Connor Farrell (2 for 3) and Tim Moberg had a double. Hopkinton finished with 12 hits on the day. Leading hitters for Bellingham included: Pat Williamson (3 for 4, 2 doubles); Tyler Colacchio (2 for 3, 2 RBI, Run, double) and Brad Robello (2 for 4, Run). Hopkinton will host Millis tomorrow and will travel to Medway on Thursday. |

POLL RESULTS A poll started Monday evening yielded unquestionable results, shown in the graphic to the left. People were asked to consider the information below before voting. The practice of banning Sunday construction, we are told, is universal. Construction Ban. Good? Bad?
There is a Hopkinton bylaw that limits the use of construction equipment for commercial purposes to weekdays between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm, and Saturdays from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. Sundays and holidays are banned entirely. Homeowners are also limited in use and times. As a result of this bylaw, construction equipment stands idle at all construction sites in Hopkinton, like Legacy Farms (photo taken Sunday) and Price Chopper, outside of the allowable days and times.
These laws are left over, either statutorily or philosophically, from the so-called Massachusetts Blue Laws that were handed down from the Puritans banning work on the Sunday Sabbath. Since most of the ones regarding retail have been abandoned or overturned — shopping malls are very busy places on Sunday — should the construction ban, which is listed under the noise ordinance, be overturned too? NOTE: No one is proposing any changes. The poll is just an academic exercise. |

Hopkinton Police Department Launches High-Visibility Click It or Ticket Enforcement Mobilization Massachusetts is Serious about Saving Lives through Seat Belt Use
During the “Click It or Ticket” mobilization, which runs from May 14th through June 3rd, thousands of extra state and local police will patrol the state’s streets and highways in a concerted effort to promote and enforce seat belt use with the ultimate goal of saving lives.
Many departments across the state have adopted zero-tolerance policies for seat belt violations signaling the increasing importance of seat belt use. In fact, if pulled over, everyone in the car found not wearing a seat belt will be ticketed.
“Injuries caused by motor vehicle crashes cost taxpayers and businesses hundreds of millions of dollars every year,” said Chief Richard Flannery “We can help reduce those costs by making sure people buckle up, every trip, every time.”
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), based on known usage, 49 percent of the people killed in passenger motor vehicle crashes in Massachusetts during 2010 were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the crash.
“A lot of people shrug off the statistics because they see themselves as good drivers,” said Chief Flannery “but they forget that they can get hurt because of other reckless drivers. Your best defense is to buckle up.”
Seat belt use can be the difference between life and death. It is the best defense in a crash. Remember to Buckle Up, Every Trip, Every Time.

Comey Chapel Reopening & Civil War Tour
On Sunday, May 20th at 2 PM, the town’s Comey chapel in Evergreen Cemetery (304 Wood St.) will be reopened and rededicated, followed by a Civil War walking tour of the cemetery, focusing on the Comeys and other Hopkinton veterans who fought for the Union. The chapel, built in 1918 by son of Woodville and Civil War Veteran Henry Newton Comey, had been closed for over 30 years and had fallen into disrepair. It was dedicated to the many members of the Comey family who served during the war, as well as to H.N. Comey’s wife Augusta Wood Comey. Through volunteer efforts and Community Preservation Act funding for roof replacement, this charming stone chapel has been restored for the townspeople to use again for memorials or other small services.
In recognition of the 150 year anniversary of the Civil War and to honor the Hopkinton veterans who served, a Civil War tour will follow the rededication ceremony. Period-costumed guides will give an overview of these soldiers’ experiences, and some of the battles represented, and will explain events that shaped the course of the war. Henry Newton Comey served all four years of the war and later stood guard in the courtroom throughout the trial of the Lincoln conspirators. His experiences, and those of the eight Comeys who served, tell a remarkable story of valor and love of country. The Cemetery Commission invites you to come learn about the service of these Civil War soldiers and honor their sacrifice, as the doors of this town treasure, the Comey Chapel, are opened once again. |

Endorses Jon Graziano Editor: It is my pleasure to endorse Jon Graziano for School Committee. Over the past year, I have worked with Jon on the Appropriations Committee. Jon has been a dedicated member who does his homework and grasps the complexities of the Town budgeting process. He has been professional in his approach with the other members of the committee and with those presenting requests to the committee. He asks insightful questions, sees both sides of each question and makes his decisions based upon what is the best for the Town. He is a true team player.
As liaison to the School Committee, Jon has spent considerable time reviewing the school budget. He has shared the insight gained in this work with the AC to help all of us better understand what is requested. Jon is not afraid to make tough decisions based upon thoughtful consideration and research.
Because of this type of approach, I believe that Jon will be a valuable addition to the School Committee. The school budget is the largest that the town funds, aimed at our most important resource - our children. I am confident that Jon can balance both the educational development and the financial challenges that we face in order to benefit the entire community.
Please vote for Jon for School Committee on Monday, May 21.

Relay For Life 2012
May 11, 2012 — Relay for Life, an American Cancer Society national effort to fundraise for Cancer Research is holding its Hopkinton version, looking a little like tent city behind the Middle School, was in the black for about $135,000 at the start of the event Friday evening. The student leaders (Video tomorrow) expect to reach more than $165,000 by the end of the event Saturday morning. The evening consists of a celebration of life, games, sports, and music by inspiration, as well as a heartwarming tribute to survivors, and a memorial to those who have passed away due to that most insidious group of diseases known as cancer. Planned events are an unbroken walk around the track, a survivors' lap around the track — 40 signed up this year — a survivors' dinner following that, and a luminaria, where people lit luminaries, and organizers light some on the opposite bleachers, arranged to spell the word "CURE."
FROM ACS: "In 2012, more than 95 events planned across Massachusetts are expected to raise more than $11 million to help the American Cancer Society save lives and create a world with more birthdays. Last year, 3.5 million people nationwide participated in Relay For Life and more than 600,000 cancer survivors were celebrated. Relay raised $385 million at 5,146 sites throughout the United States and took place in nearly 900 communities around the world evolving into a worldwide movement to end cancer. The Society can be reached day or night for up-to-the-minute cancer information at its toll-free information line, 1-800-227-2345, or its Web site, cancer.org ."

D.A. Leone and Police Chiefs Address the Dangers of Unused Prescription Drugs New Drug Collection Units Offer Safe Disposal • Hopkinton Police Dept Chosen for Drop-off
MedReturn Drug Collection Units will be
delivered by today to 29 police departments in “Illegal use of prescription drugs is the nation’s fastest growing drug problem,” DA Leone said. “Our aim is to assure that prescription drugs are only in the hands of those who they are prescribed for, and not in the hands of young people who have easy access family medicine cabinets where they can use and abuse them. These new drug collection units provide an effective and convenient method for disposal of unwanted medications without harming our environment, and keeping powerful addictive drugs off of the streets.” The effort is part of the District Attorney’s goal to address issues of substance abuse among young people. An estimated 2.4 million Americans misused prescription drugs for the first time within the past year, and about a third of those users were age 12 to 17, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The drug collection units will be placed at each local police station. Medication can be disposed of anonymously at any time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified prescription drug abuse as an epidemic. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Heath, more than 70 percent of people who abused prescription pain killers got them from relatives or friends. Additionally, the study reports, more and more opiate overdoses are now a result of prescription painkillers. Every day, on average, 2,500 teens use prescription drugs to get high for the first time, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. The DEA also reports that 56 percent of teens say prescription drugs are easier to get than illicit drugs. Two in five teens believe that prescription drugs are safer than illegal drugs.

Support for Jean Bertschmann
As we all well know, Hopkinton schools have been on an upward trajectory for several years now in its pursuit of excellence and continuous improvement in all areas. It is no coincidence, for instance, that Hopkinton High School was recently ranked by Newsweek magazine as 95th in the country and second in the state behind Boston Latin Academy. And this just in – even more exciting news: The high school was named number three in the state and awarded a gold medal for outstanding accomplishments by U.S. News and World Report. In our community, we are so fortunate to have a large cadre of smart, dedicated and caring principals, teachers, administrators and parent-volunteers – working together at all levels in the school district – to achieve these measurable goals and help students succeed. As a school committee member who is now up for re-election, Jean Bertschmann is one of those people who works tirelessly for others while tackling tough issues that make our schools strong. In her role as chairperson, Jean is a great listener and leader who consistently shows a healthy respect for other people’s points of view when making important decisions. As former HPTA president, mother of four outstanding Hopkinton students and active school volunteer for 15 years including dedicated service in the Boosters store, she also is someone who understands the dynamics between teachers, students and technology. Her efforts working with key decision makers in the community have resulted in many creative and cost-effective initiatives including: academic excellence in classrooms, reduced energy costs, flexible options for Center School, and a tuition-based student foreign exchange program designed to “pay for itself” while giving students valuable worldwide exposure. Jean and her colleagues have brought much needed value to this town as they work to achieve the highest possible educational goals for our children within a highly challenging fiscal environment – and the result has been remarkable achievements in all categories. Re-elect Jean to the Hopkinton School Committee on May 21 and help keep Hopkinton schools on the right track!
Sincerely, Joy Donohue 41 Blueberry Lane May 11, 2012 |
