Veterans Gather for Dinner
Above, outgoing representative Paul Loscocco addresses the group of veterans at the Senior Center.
November 11, 2008 — Around 140 veterans, guests and public officials gathered at the Hopkinton Senior Center this evening for the Eighth Annual Veterans Day Dinner, sponsored by the Council on Aging and the Veterans Celebration Committee. "A private citizen has covered the cost of the dinner," said Chairman of the Veterans Committee, Jim Mirabile, and added that the donor wishes to remain anonymous. Mr. Mirabile noted that the Hopkinton High School chorus, led by Donna Eichorn, performed before this evening's dinner, which is one of two large events, including the Memorial Day Parade, that the group sponsors. In addition, the group coordinates a "Taps Vigil" on the first Sunday of every Month. December 7 is the next one. Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Brian Herr, praised the group. "You are doing such a good job teaching myself, my children and the community about what it means to be a veteran. "We will continue to support veterans in the years to come," he concluded. Selectman Michael Shepard said it was good to be a part "of something bigger than ourselves." "I want to give Eric Sonnett recognition, because he started this [dinner] when he was Selectman," he said. Outgoing State Representative Paul Loscocco was on to say his thank you's and to encourage everyone, although we cannot help everyone, to "help those who cross your paths." State Representative-elect Carolyn Dykema shared her anxiety over thanking a roomful of people, but thought of the advice her father, a veteran, might give her. "If I were to thank my dad, he would just say appreciate what was done for you." Director of the Council on Aging, Cindy Chesmore, gave kudos to Rep. Loscocco. "Without Paul, we would not have this building," she said. |

Senior Moments
Veterans Feted Don't miss Holiday Sale

November 11, 2008 —
Veteran’s Day—the eleventh hour, the eleventh day, the eleventh month—it

Western Front,

Still Going Down
November 11, 2008 — The gas prices hit $2.299 downtown Hopkinton today, and Hopkinton Gulf owner Jerry Lazzaro believes the price will continue to drop, because the price per barrel keeps dropping. He predicts that the trend will continue through the New Year. The current cost per gallon is lower than the average price in 2005, and in some places, nearing the $1.78 average yearly price of 2004, according to the 2008 World Almanac and Book of Facts. According to the statistics, the United States is the largest producer of primary energy, as well as the major consumer, just ahead of China. |

While in the lab/kitchen today we whipped up some explosive stuff using the book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs as a springboard. We made our own incredible geyser outside, figured out that gravity is a force stronger than humans, and performed a balancing act among other experiments!

Supporting Troops is not a Political statement
by Mike Whalen Veterans'
Day honors all men and women who have served in the United States
Armed Forces. Originally known as On Tuesday, November 11, the American Legion Post 202 here in Hopkinton, will recognize all Hopkinton veterans, and especially those who have died this past year. Since the new gazebo is under construction, the ceremony will be held in the Town Hall , and in keeping with tradition, will start promptly at 11:00 AM. Veterans' Day is not an occasion to glorify or celebrate war, but to honor the sacrifices made by others for our freedoms. Supporting our troops, past and present, is not a political statement, but it is patriotic, and our children will continue this tradition if we show them the way. By attending this event , and others, like Memorial Day, we can show our future veterans that they will always be supported and appreciated by their hometown. It is not enough just to protect our children, we also have to teach them about the world, and how fortunate they are to live in a place like Hopkinton. Hopefully, our wars will continue to be waged in far away places like Iraq and Afghanistan, and we have the veterans to thank for that. We can all demonstrate our gratitude and educate our children by attending the Veterans' Day ceremony on Tuesday. |

A Real Neighborhood, A Real Loss
by Lee Wright
November 8, 2008 — Do you have a Dickie Phillips?
I grew up next door to Dickie Phillips, who was a few years my senior. We were always friends, and still are. Dickie never asked much from people, but was always willing to lend a hand. He was a friend to old and young. We (Dickie and I) grew up on Meserve Street, my mom and sisters still live there with my nephews and nieces.
We know everybody on the street, and we can rely on most of them, but there are, as with any neighborhood, some that really don't fit in.
But the ones that do fit have a big part in our lives. We all live our personal demons, and Dickie was no exception, I live with mine as he did with his; that's a part of life. That never mattered in our neighborhood, it was what is was, (is what it is) and we were all friends.
Dickie would
be tinkering outside of his house with his many (very many) projects
that he had going on (I think when the term "multi-tasking" was
first coined after somebody visited Dickie), and a neighborhood kid
would ride his/her bike by and stop, ask what he was doing, and the
next thing you know, the kid would be holding a wrench and learning
"lefty loosey, righty tightly." Hey, free help is hard to find...
Just kidding. But Dickie would include the kids, if they were
inclined, in the "project of the day." Or there were times when I
would be driving buy and see him and I would stop to talk and would
be gravitated to
He was truly a part of the neighborhood, a part of Americana that I haven't found in a lot of places that I have lived or visited. Do you really know your neighbor? Have you sat down and talked with them, and really listen? Dickie was a part of that kind of neighborhood. Maybe I'm just lucky growing up with the closely knit 'hood where any mom could "correct" an errant child, and I've got to tell you, I've admonished a lot of times by mom's, with my own mom's approval! After the fact to boot!
The editor called Meserve Street "blue collar," but we would like to call ourselves "red necks" (for you ma), but we have engineers, accountants, realtors, town hall workers, and other professionals that grew up and/or lived there and still call it home; they all come back. I feel comfortable when I drive down the street, knowing that people look out the windows and wondering who's that, or "it's just Lee." Sometimes it was "it's just Dickie" when there was a loud motorcycle passing by.
My dad needed help with things the last few years of his life, mostly mechanical. He would go next door and ask Dickie for a hand, Dickie would be there for him — it was the neighborhood and that's what you did.
Another thing was his vast knowledge, very well read, from the masters to the macabre, he had opened them all. History? Give anyone a run for the money! If he couldn't fix it or tell you who could, then you should just throw it away. One of the most intelligent people I've ever known, and he never attended anything beyond high school.
Dickie was a single father and grandfather who lived alone at the time of his tragic passing. But he was never truly "alone." He had his neighborhood.
Now, after the tragic fire on Meserve Street, we don't have Dickie. A great loss to us, his friends. And a much bigger loss to what a real neighborhood is really about.
There is a hole in my life where there was a Dickie.
Is there one in your neighborhood?
I hope you have, if not, find one or be one, you'll never regret it! |

The food drive
comes at a critical time. Project Just Because, which operates the food
pantry, reports that many more families depend on the pantry but
donations are down because of economic problems. Hopkinton's Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and parents distributed plastic bags to all Hopkinton households on Saturday, Nov. 1. We ask that residents fill the bags with non-perishable grocery items. Especially needed are canned meat, breakfast foods for children, school snack items, paper products, cleaning products and toiletries.
The donated items should be
placed near your mailbox by 10 a.m on Saturday, Nov. 8. Scouts will
collect the bags between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and bring them to the
pantry. Tax deductible cash donations, made payable to "Project Just Because Food Pantry," are also welcome. Please send the donations to Project Just Because, Inc., 45 South Street, Unit G, Hopkinton, MA 01748. ~ Catherine Buday |

Winter Water Tips
First locate your main water shut off valve and meter. You need to check your valve and make sure it works in case of an emergency. It is usually located in your basement on the side facing the street. Insure that the area immediately surrounding the valve and meter is warm enough to prevent freezing. In older homes with fieldstone and rock foundations make sure there are no direct drafts from the holes in the walls or gaps in the windows and doors. If these areas remain cold constantly you should insulate your pipes or wrap them in heating tape. Both of these items can be found in any home improvement store. Remember, even if the room temperature is warm, a direct cold draft on your water pipes, can cause them to freeze!
If your water has frozen in the past and the problem has not been corrected, you should hire a water department licensed contractor to replace and lower your pipe. Also, do not forget to turn off and drain the supply to your outside faucets and sprinklers. If left on they will freeze and burst.
To help conserve water during the winter, insulate your hot water pipes. This will help to retain the heat and prevent you from having to run the water in order to get it hot. Have a great Holiday season!

The
Water Department responds to numerous frozen water pipe calls each
winter with the majority of them located inside the home. There are
several measures that homeowners can take to prevent their water pipes
from freezing. The water department would like to offer the following
tips. 
In
the event that your pipes do become frozen, locate the faucet closest to
your main valve and meter. Usually there is one just after the meter.
Turn it on to determine if the pipes are frozen in your home or if they
are frozen on the street side of the meter. If you have water flow at
the point, then the problem is further along the pipe in your home. Try
to locate the frozen area by checking subsequent faucets along the way.
If there are none, then feel your way across the pipe to find the
coldest spot. Once you find the area inspect the pipe to make sure it is
not split. Locate the nearest shut off in case you need it. Open the
nearest faucet and try thawing the pipe with a hair dryer making sure
you slide it from side to side and do not leave it concentrated on one
spot. This could cause the pipe to burst. In most cases this should
solve the problem. If you are unable to thaw the pipe, you should then
contact a plumber. If the problem is on the street side of your meter,
you should then contact the Water department.
