Annual Rummage Sale Senior Center, 28 Mayhew St Thursday and Friday, May 15 & 16, from 9 to 7 and Saturday from 9 to noon
The Center's Annual Rummage Sale will take place at the Senior Center, 28 Mayhew St., on Thursday and Friday, May 15 & 16, from 9 to 7 and Saturday from 9 to noon. This is the Senior Center’s largest fundraiser to benefit the transportation and nutrition programs that are not funded in the town budget. It is because of the public support for events like this that the Senior Center is able to provide a top notch program at a reasonable cost to taxpayers. There is a huge selection of clothing for all ages and shapes, children’s toys, furniture, linens, books and almost anything you can think of. The sale provides a great opportunity for families to save money on things they need while recycling things others no longer need. Lunch will be served on Thursday (hot dogs and beans) and Friday (hot turkey sandwiches). The cost is $4.00, which includes drink and dessert. If you want to eat at the first seating, please make reservations. Walk-ins are welcome from 12-1. The Thrift Shop will also be open, offering quality antiques as well as gift items, and the greenhouse crew will be selling their own plants, including 13 kinds of well-started tomato plants. |

Felony Larceny of Signs Police investigating
Above, at supporter Michael Kennedy's home, some of the signs retrieved and ready to be put back where they were stolen from, something that will take hours. Mr. Kennedy needs to visit every location to see whether or not that location was hit.
May 12, 2008 — This morning, residents of North Street awoke to find 70 of candidate Selectman Chair Muriel Kramer's political signs across the road, having been stolen from the properties where they were displayed. "We are going to look into it like any other larceny," said Hopkinton Police Sgt. Charles Wallace. "We can't say what methods we are going to use, but emails are going out to all of the officers to be on the lookout," he said. "A couple of years ago, there were political signs were stolen, and we caught the people who did it. "It is a larceny and people could be charged with a criminal offense. Larceny over $250 is a felony," Sgt. Wallace said.
According to Mrs. Kramer, the signs cost $4 each. ($4x70=$280) |

Neither driver nor passenger wearing seat belt
May 12, 2008 — Yesterday at approximately 9:41 PM, Troopers assigned to the State Police Barracks in Holden responded to a report of a motor vehicle crash on Route 190 North in West Boylston that resulted in two fatalities.
Preliminary investigation by Trooper Hari Arisetty indicates that a 2003 Dodge Viper being operated by an adult male was traveling north on Route 190 in West Boylston, approximately one mile prior to Exit 5, when it lost control, struck the jersey barrier on the left side of the roadway, veered across the travel lanes, struck the guardrail on the right side of the roadway and came to rest wedged underneath the guardrail. The operator of the Dodge sustained fatal injuries and was declared deceased at the scene. An adult female passenger also sustained fatal injuries and was declared deceased at the scene. Neither was wearing a seat belt. Their names are being withheld pending proper notification.
Although speed appears to have been a factor, this crash remains under investigation with the assistance of the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section. The West Boylston Police and Fire Departments and MassHighway assisted Troopers at the scene. |

the Board of Selectmen has encouraged “full and fair” debate on all
issues of concern to the residents of Hopkinton. As a seasoned
chairperson of the Board, she has always encouraged different points of
views so as to put issues in their proper perspective, while, at all
times, considering what is best for the well-being of all Hopkinton
residents. She tends to reduce the issues to their content and not their
politics. There is none of the trade-offs of normal political fare.
