Gulp!
June 7, 2008 — It appears that this cormorant flying over the Hopkinton Reservoir Dam on Saturday has a fish in its gullet, the only food the bird eats. Cormorants, a diving bird, can often be identified because they hold their water-logged wings out to dry in the sun before they take off in flight. When taking off from the water, they appear to run across the surface, because their wings are usually wet, making flight difficult. |

cancer. Stephanie is a wonderful citizen who wants to bring her family
together to do something truly helpful for our state. The Massachusetts
Breast Cancer Coalition (MBCC) is more than grateful to see Stephanie
participate this year, and bring with her a generation who will
hopefully not have to face breast cancer the way our generation does. |

Entwistle Trial
June 6, 2008 — Opening remarks in the murder trial of Neil Entwistle, accused of killing his wife and infant daughter in Hopkinton in January, 2006, began today at Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn.
Prosecutor Michael Fabbri introduced a timeline of events leading up to
the discovery of the bodies of Rachel, 27, and Lillian Rise, 9 months,
the relevant events afterward, and factual points of the case. Rachel's
mother testified that Rachel's stepfather, Defense attorney Eliot Weinstein presented a short opening that presented a case for a loving family, but did not present an argument for a different suspect, as many pundits had expected. Upon cross-examination of Mrs. Matterazzo, Defense attorney Stephanie Page painted a picture of a loving couple who were popular and had an abundance of friends. In fact, the majority of her questions built the argument of a typical, happy couple. The trial was adjourned at about 4:00 p.m. today, and will resume Monday, June 9, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. Many of the facts brought out by attorneys today were articulated in a piece in 2006 by Robert Falcione.

Dr. Duffy Disagrees with Town Counsel's Opinion Editor: I have serious
concerns regarding Town Counsel's opinion regarding the DPW. Last year I
expressed concern to Ann Click
I cannot agree that an item in the Appendix sets forth a whole cascade of logic (see Town Counsel's opinion) which contradicts the legislation created as a result of a vote of the Town. To conclude that there is legal justification for Town Manager to supervise the DPW and appoint its director is a huge stretch and creates significant conflicts which will soon become apparent.

Town Hall Notebook All's Well That Ends Well Town Manager sends letter to Governor to propose Special Act
June 5, 2008 — In an effort to correct a scheduling snafu that has basically voided the Hopkinton May 6, 2008 Special Town Meeting — the meeting was advertised for 13 rather than 14 days — Town Manager Anthony Troiano (File photo) has petitioned Governor Deval Patrick, seeking his authority to recommend to the General Court a Special Act that would ratify the actions of the Special Town Meeting. At the Selectmen's Tuesday meeting, Town Counsel Counsel Ray Miyares had suggested to do just that as one of three options. The option he preferred was to simply hold another Special Town Meeting and revote the 11 Articles. However, the Selectmen were unsure if that would fit into the time constraints for this fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2008. One of the Articles is a money Article that would transfer money from one DPW account into an asphalt account. That needs to be done before the new fiscal year, according to the Mr. Troiano. To read the letter to the Governor, the wording of the petition, and the Articles as they were voted by the 838 Town Meeting participants, click here.
Town Manager's Authority On June 2, 2008, Town Manager Anthony Troiano received a written opinion from Town Counsel Ray Miyares that declared that Mr. Troiano held the authority over the hiring of the DPW Director, a position currently held by J. T. Gaucher. The DPW was created by Chapter 375 of the Acts of 1998, and authority over it given to the Board of Selectmen. However, in 2006 the DPW was reorganized to place the authority of of supervising and controlling the DPW under a new, Board of Public Works. Chairman of the BPW Dan McIntyre (File photo), and former Selectmen Chair Muriel Kramer, butted heads over her pet issue of increasing sewer capacity in Hopkinton by plugging the holes in the system (Input and Infiltration, commonly known as I & I). However, Mr. McIntyre argued it was not her purview on more than one occasion. According to the opinion of Counsel Miyares, the 2006 Act establishing the three-member BPW is trumped by the Town Charter. He states, quoting chapter and verse, that anything addressing changes to authority vested in the Charter must be done by changes to that document, and not by a Special Act. The opinion letter may be read here.

Hopkinton Youth Launch "Sticker Shock" Campaign
Teens play active role to reduce youth
access to alcohol
Consider these facts supporting the 21 minimum drinking age: 1. It is estimated that the enforcement of the 21 minimum drinking age has saved more than 21,000 lives – nearly 1,000 lives saved per year. (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). 2. Traffic crashes are the number one killer of teens and over one-third of teen traffic deaths are alcohol-related. (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). 3. People who begin drinking before age 14 are seven times more likely than those who began drinking after age 21 to report being in a motor vehicle crash because of their drinking. (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). 4. High school students who use alcohol or other substances are five times more likely than other students to drop out of school or to believe that earning good grades is not important.

Selectmen's Meeting E. L. Harvey and Sons Gets Trash Contract May 6 Special Town Meeting Vote Fails AG Muster
by Robert Falcione June 3, 2008 — Surprising most people watching, the Selectmen invited Town Clerk Ann Click, who dropped the bombshell that the Special Town Meeting held on May 6, 2008 did not pass muster with the Attorney General's Office, because the meeting was posted a day late. Toward the end of Tuesday's meeting, Mrs. Click took responsibility for "this error" and apologized to the town. Town Counsel Ray Miyares was on hand to offer three possible remedies. The first option was to "Petition the General Court to ratify what went on at [Special] Town Meeting. You have to call a Special Town Meeting to petition," he said. "It would be faster to simply call a Special Town Meeting and revote the Articles. That seems to be the option we want to pursue," he said. "The third would be to seek an Emergency Special Act that can only be proposed by the Governor," he said. Counsel Miyares said the legislature would then need to vote and approve it by a 2/3 majority. The urgency to schedule the meeting is because a $42,000 Article must be voted validly during FY '08, which ends on June 30, 2008. The Selectmen voted to open the Warrant and to schedule the Special Town Meeting on June 30, 2008. However, it was déjà vu all over again, when, after some simple math, the Selectmen concluded that the necessary advertising and waiting period may not fit into the time constraints. They questioned whether the days are counted as business days or regular days. Counsel Miyares had left before this conversation was held, and was not available by telephone to answer the question. Selectman RJ Dourney suggested "A full court press to the Governor's Office."
Trash & Recyclables Hauling E. L. Harvey and Sons, Inc. of Westborough has been chosen as Hopkinton's curbside solid waste and recycling company by Town Manager Anthony Troiano, who gave kudos for helping in the process to Selectman Matthew Zettek. Mr. Troiano said the contract will be signed Friday, and that there will be a three week transition period when information will be posted on HopNews and the Town's website to help people understand the new methods. (File photo of ELH Treasurer, Jim Harvey). For instance, the recycling will be bi-weekly, rather than weekly. One-half of the town will be done one week, and the other half the next.
Mr. Zettek cautioned that it is important to get material out at the
curb before 7:00 a.m., because
Residents may use other types of recycling containers, in addition to the typical green baskets, Mr. Zettek said. He also said that the DPW will be ordering bumper-type of stickers for people to put on their own barrels. In a telephone interview on Monday, before the winning company was made public, Mr. Troiano said that the town put out an invitation for proposals, and that the process was exempt from the Chapter 30B bidding process. Mr. Troiano said the new contract, before considering recycling, will save the town between $50,000 and $70,000. In other E. L. Harvey news, it appears the appeals for their Hopkinton C & D (Construction and Demolition debris) facility and MRRF (Materials Recycling an Recovery Facility) facility are over, and the former Hopkinton landfill is capped. The process of building the Hopkinton facility was put on hold in 2006, while the then current Westborough operation had to be upgraded by constructing buildings to put the existing processes indoors.
