Hillers Remain Unbeaten Hopkinton 7, Bellingham 3
Above, Andrew Park letting the ball go, his signature grasp caught on camera. May 3, 2008 — The Hopkinton Hiller baseball team remained unbeaten as they knocked off Bellingham to improve their record to 11-0. The win was a hard fought contest as the Hillers sent Junior southpaw Andrew Parks to the hill. The Junior kept Bellingham at bay holding on close enough to bring Worcester academy hopeful Conar Mahon in to close the door on the Blackhawks. The senior faced all but three perfect innings in allowing himself to pick up the victory. Paul Ostrander kept a torrid hitting pace as he banged out three hits. The Hillers will be playing powerful ST. Johns of Danvers in a 3:00 game saturday in Hopkinton. The Hillers will rest a tired pitching staff on Saturday as it will be four games in four days. The Hillers have a two game lead in the Tri-valley league race, and they have three league games next week. I have been and seen many Hiller baseball games but cant remember a team winning eleven straight. It has to be some kind of a record. Good Job guys! ~ Peter Marso special to HopNews. ~ Photo by John Collins |

It is an opportunity to display their artwork and see all the other entries. We will be drawing two winners of an Ipod Nano 4GB Video Mp3 Player. You need not be present to win. This was an outstanding Competition this year both in the number of entries received and the talent of the students. The Boston Marathon provides our towns with the unique opportunity to step up onto the world's stage every Spring This year, the 112th running was one for the ages; from the Symphony to the unveiling of the George V. Brown statue, to the Torch Lighting on the Common. The Boston Marathon Art & Design Competition reflects the sentiments that we all feel from being a part of a grand and glorious tradition that is ours alone. ~ Susie Johnson, Chairwoman, Boston Marathon Art & Design Competition |

Please Attend Town Meeting Begins Monday, May 5, 2008 7:00 p.m. at HS Athletic Center Legacy Farms to be heard May 6, 2008
by Robert Falcione May 2, 2008 — This year more than ever, a Town Meeting Article will affect Hopkinton like none has in its history: The Legacy Farms OSMUD District, zoning Article #29 (Town Meeting Warrant + Ballot). 733 acres of East Hopkinton land will be rezoned if it passes. Please read the • OSMUD District and • OSMUD Map to become acquainted with the scope of the project area and project zoning elements. The developer, Boulder Capital, seeks to build on a smaller footprint than usual, sometimes called Low Impact Development (LID), in exchange for keeping hundreds of acres as traditional open space and "restricted land," upon which active recreation and agriculture can take place. A key feature of the Host Community Agreement (HCA), signed by the Hopkinton Board of Selectmen last evening, is the matrix, a computation of negative and positive effects that certain types of development in the OSMUD District will have on Hopkinton's infrastructure, fire schools police, and as a result, its property taxes, and offers a resulting schedule. Some parts of the project, such as Affordable Housing, will have a negative impact on town services. But Townhomes will offset the impact with a delta of nearly twice as much revenue. Rental units are expected to be a loss, but commercial is a positive gain. The HCA agreement seeks to keep the progress of the development in tune with having a net positive, or at least neutral, effect on fiscal impact to the town through its scheduling of construction, and offsetting fiscal elements. Legacy Farms has offered playing fields on East Main Street, a half million dollars toward a fire station, as well as the upgrading of the Downtown traffic signals, the latter of which Boulder President Roy MacDowell has promised to do immediately following a successful Town Meeting vote. It is not all daffodils and roses, as many people will undoubtedly point out at Town Meeting, but neither is it smoke and mirrors. The highest purpose of any voter is to become armed with the facts. Please read the available documents at the top of the page, and see how some of the meetings have gone by doing a HopNews Google search called "OSMUD." And then be a part of the historic moment by attending Town Meeting. See you there. |

Hillers win show down as Guilmette keeps Hillers unbeaten at 10-0. Donahue drives in two big runs
May 2, 2008 — The Hopkinton Hillers picked up a big win over the Norton Lancers in a key tri-Valley baseball game played in Hopkinton. The win put the locals two games ahead in the Tri-valley league as the leagues first half is finished. Dan Donahue drove in two key runs to put the Hillers ahead 4-3 in the later innings. Lefty Matt Guilmette kept the lancers at bay as the Hillers eventually won the game in the bottom of the seventh inning on a wild pitch. A key factor was when left fielder Kelly Cook threw a perfect strike to Matt Collins, stopping a potential Norton lead. Both teams knew the importance of a victory and what it meant in the league standings, and a top seed in next month's state tournament. Paul Ostrander played a great centerfield as he held off many potential lancer rallies. The Hillers will play Bellingham on Friday and then play a non league tilt with powerful and always dangerous Saint Johns Prep of Danvers, a team they also have beaten .

Last Step 'til Tuesday Legacy Agreement signed
May 2, 2008 — The Selectmen signed the Host Community Agreement with Legacy Farms this evening after hearing a short report from Judi Barrett of Community Opportunities group, who reviewed some of the Legacy Farms as a peer fiscal consultant. Ms. Barrett said, "There's no question in my mind that the project will generate a considerable amount of net revenue. "We're pretty much in agreement with the proponents of what the gross revenue at buildout will be — roughly $6 million — we just think the costs are going to be higher," said Ms. Barrett. Ms. Barrett said she believed the net revenue from the project at buildout will be $2.2 million per year. "And that's significant," she said. The Selectmen signed the agreement, which is effective if the OSMUD District zoning change passes at Town Meeting on Tuesday. The agreement has a matrix that assures the town that Legacy Farms will be developed in a revenue positive manner. |

May 2, 2008 — Selectmen hosted Dorothy Ferriter (Holding proclamation), Chair of the Hopkinton Marathon Committee and Timothy Kilduff (Holding proclamation), President of the Hopkinton Athletic Association, and read proclamations in their behalves. There was a consensus that the 2008 Marathon was a special one for Hopkinton, with the sister city relationship between Hopkinton and Marathon, Greece cemented with the arrival of the Flame of the Marathon Run and special meetings with the visitors from Marathon, Greece. In addition, the Metrowest Symphony Orchestra of Hopkinton held its second Annual Marathon Concert, and the HAA commissioned a statue of the late George V. Brown, who has been credited with bringing hockey and Olympic sports to the United States. His descendents, following his lead, have fired the starter's pistol at the Marathon since its early days.

Selectmen Declare Monday May 5, 2008 as Arctic Day Students from Hopkins School show projects, make sacrifices
May 1, 2008 — Students form Mrs. Greene and Ms. Schnairsohn's classes met with the Selectmen on Thursday evening and presented graphical posters as well as a PowerPoint presentation to bring the "serious issue of global warming and pollution and the plight of the Arctic animals to the people of Hopkinton." The children offered solutions to save energy and help the environment, such as planting trees and flowers, composting, reusable shopping bags, hybrid vehicles, shortening showers and turning off appliances. "Your goal was to educate the public, and you have done that effectively," said Selectmen Chair Muriel Kramer. The students asked the Selectmen to declare the day, whereby residents give up something that uses energy for a least 30 minutes, as Arctic Day. And they did. |

Hopkinton Named Tree City USA Ceremony at Elm Bank in Wellesley
Above, Hopkinton Tree Warden Paul Gleason, flanked on his right by DCR Commissioner Richard Sullivan and on his left by Chief of DCR Division of Forestry, Jim DiMaio, receives an award on behalf of Hopkinton.
May 1, 2008 — Hopkinton was named a Tree City USA municipality today in a ceremony at MassHort at Elm Bank in Wellesley. A municipality qualifies as a Tree City USA if it meets four criteria: Must have a department devoted to tree care, spend at least $2 per annum on urban forestry, enforce laws protecting trees and host an Arbor Day celebration. "A Tree City USA designation gives a municipality an advantage over other towns since you demonstrate a level of interest above and beyond other towns," said Mr. Gleason. "It shows you care about trees in the community," he said. Chair Muriel Kramer held up the plaque received by Mr. Gleason today at Thursday evening's Selectmen's meeting, and voted to accept an accompanying proclamation, which gives the town precedence for grant money. |

Legacy Project Manager Responds Editor:
As the project manager for Legacy Farms, I
wish to respond to Ms. Lund’s call for more project study.
Jennifer begins her note outlining environmental concerns. We share Ms. Lund’s concerns for the environment. For this reason, we have designed Legacy Farms considering the United States Green Building Council LEED for Neighborhood Development Pilot Program. A number of LEED project criteria are fulfilled by our attempt to create what Sasaki Associates has coined our “build green” approach. We have also been involved in Low Impact Development long before it became a catch phrase.
Ms. Lund’s characterization that the Transportation analysis falls short of our neighboring communities is not true. The data gathering and analysis for this activity stretched well into Ashland, Southborough and the balance of Hopkinton. Hopkinton, Ashland and Southborough have also all had the opportunity to review our Transportation consultants’ work.
As it relates to Fiscally positive nature – Hopkinton’s consultant, Ms. Judi Barrett, can affirm this fact as well as we can. All one has to do is review the Hopkinton Appropriations Committees submittals to understand that the OSMUD will have a significant cash flow, net of costs. FULL LETTER |

State of the Town Superintendent urges Legacy Farms support
April 30, 2008 — Hopkinton political leaders and Chamber of Commerce members gathered at the First Congregational Church on Wednesday morning to present the State of the Town, an NStar/Chamber-sponsored presentation by Board of Selectmen Chair Muriel Kramer, Town Manager Anthony Troiano, Town CFO Heidi Kriger, Superintendent of Schools Dr. John E. Phelan, HAA President Timothy Kilduff and finally, Boulder Capital's Legacy Farms Project Manager, Steven Zieff (Photo at mic) and principal Roy MacDowell. Mrs. Kramer advocated for many Board of Selectmen actions, including hiring of the Town Manager, and his controversial raise, as well as strongly advocating for Legacy Farms. Mrs. Kramer called for support for the Waste Water Treatment Plant at Fruit Street, but distanced herself from others advocates saying, "An aggressive call to compromise not on principal, but on the incidentals of the project is in order," a reference to the location of the plant, which has been challenged in court. Mr. Troiano and Ms. Kriger explained cost savings earned this year and the budget process. "We need water and sewer to market the town and attract businesses," Mr. Troiano said. Dr. Phelan began his presentation with a jab at the Selectmen, saying they were wrong to cite decreasing enrollment as a valid reason for denying the schools a $400,000 override this year, saying the enrollment was basically flat. After citing a long list of staff and student successes, Dr. Phelan urged support for Legacy Farms and the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Mr. Kilduff, President of the Hopkinton Athletic Association, listed the successes of his organization — bringing the Marathon Flame to Hopkinton, commissioning the George V. Brown statue, and the Marathon Concert by the MetroWest Symphony of Hopkinton — as the successes of the Town. Mr. Zieff of Boulder Capital said, "This is what we do for a living. Creating extraordinary environments is out passion. We are social scientists who put our money where our mouth is." President of Boulder Capital Roy MacDowell said that the burden of Boulder is to get twice as many votes at Town Meeting as the opponents. "It would be a tremendous loss for the community [if it doesn't pass]. |
