Hiller Baseball Wins 5th Straight
April 15, 2008 — Yesterday, the Hopkinton Hillers won their 5th straight Tri-valley game and senior Jon Carey picked up his 3rd win as the Hillers offense pounded out extra base hits on way to a 8-3 victory over the Wolverines of Westwood. It was the first game ever played in the new Russ Downs Field in Westwood. (Russ was a coach and teacher in the school system and former Athletic Director). The Hillers got great offense from Paul Ostrander 4 for 5 and Dan Muscatello collected 2 hits. Carey pitched 6.1 innings and was taken out for an injury and Lefty Bryan Guilmette took over and picked up the save. The Stickney nine will host rival Ashland on Wednesday and travel to Dover-Sherborn on Thursday before giving away to spring break next week. Hopkinton's Carey will pitch for Keene State next spring. The Hillers have a big game with Norton after the vacation with league supremacy on the line. Good job hillers its looking real good!! ~ Peter Marso Photo by John Collins |

Host Community Agreement With Legacy Farms Nears Completion Neighbors show up in force to oppose Tetlow project
by Robert Falcione April 14, 2008 — Although Bill Tetlow was not without supporters for his rezoning proposal from Resident Lake to Rural Business for the property he owns at Hayward Street and Old Town Road, the majority of the attendees at Monday's Planning Board meeting were opposed to the proposed change. The Planning Board voted on February 4 to not support passage of an Article at Town Meeting that his partner, Ken Weber, presented. Mr. Tetlow has said recently that Mr. Weber is no longer involved. In the meantime, Mr. Tetlow got a citizen's petition for an Article that will appear at Town Meeting to do the same thing. Mr. Tetlow presented a revised proposal that placed three buildings facing Hayward Street, screening the parking for the planned 20,000 square foot complex from the street. The previous plan showed parking between the street and the buildings, a configuration that is allowed in the Rural Business zone but not in the Downtown Business District. "This revised plan is a significant improvement over the other plan," said Chairman mark Abate, who met individually with Mr. Tetlow, and walked the property. Mr. Tetlow is hoping to gain the approval of the Planning Board at May's Town Meeting. Mr. Tetlow referred to the 1999 Master Plan, saying that this was the type of rezoning the plan called for. He mentioned that he had spoken in the past with medical and optical business as well as UPS, USPS and Whole Foods. "They don't even communicate [until it is rezoned]." One person speaking in favor of the project said that given 12,000 employees at EMC, Mr. Tetlow's project would have little impact on traffic. |

New Appointments Resident donates rug and installation
April 14, 2008 — The office of the Treasurer/Collector got some new desks and dividers through what Treasurer Maureen Dwinnell attributes to some creating budgeting. "I've been here 20 years and the desks were here when I got here. We saved $7,500 by ending a lease on a very large machine," Mrs. Dwinnell said. "Marco [Downey Place resident Mark Dendonnen] donated and installed the carpet. I think his business [Upton Wholesale Carpet & Tile] should get a plug," she said. The old desks and chairs and other office furniture got recycled. |

Marathon Kickoff Concert
Above, Diane Patenaude plays harp for the orchestra on Sunday afternoon.
April 13, 2008 — The Metrowest Symphony Orchestra of Hopkinton sold around 450 tickets for their Marathon kickoff concert on Sunday, in a concert that had to be moved from the High School Auditorium to the Middle School Auditorium, after the former venue, at 300 seats, sold out. A statue of George V. Brown, who has been called Hopkinton's First Citizen of Sport by Executive Director of the Boston Athletic Association, was unveiled during the performance. The statue, sculpted by Hopkinton sculptor Michael Alfano, was commissioned by the Hopkinton Athletic Association. The statue is expected to be on display near the Start line on race day for the public to admire.

Baseball Team Looking Good
by Peter Marso The Hiller Nine once again are off to a great start with victories over Medfield, Millis, Bellingham, and Medway. Super pitching and a ton of offense have helped the Hillers into the drivers seat in the early stage of Tri-valley League baseball. The pitching contributes to outstanding performance of Jon Carey, Conar Mahon , and Umass lowell bound lefty Bryan Guilmette. The Offense has been powerful as Matt Collins, Mike Preite, Mark Sanborn and Billy Hulme all hitting round trippers. Defense up the middle with Dave Muscatello handling great plays and a tough powerful arm. Veteran Kelly Cook has made great plays and is always a threat with his bat. Paul Ostrander has played flawless in the center field slot and helping out with the bat. Bryant Guilmette seems to be getting great control on the mound as the lefty was just outstanding setting down the Mustangs of Medway. Veteran Mark Sanborn has always been a threat with his offense as he also will be heading to Umass Lowell with team ate Guilmette. The Hillers are running on all cylinders and will be a good bet to win the league and also go deep into the tournament. Photo by John Collins |
