March 23,
2009 — Representatives of the MetroWest YMCA Hopkinton appeared
before the Planning Board this evening to
continue
a Public Hearing for approval of the construction of a new
building to accommodate summer camp indoor activities, and got
seven thumbs-up from the nine member board. Chairman Mark Abate
was not present to vote, and member David Auslander abstained
due to having missed previous hearing dates. The building will have
6,360 square feet of enclosed space, as well as 2,320 square
feet of deck.
Architect Scott Richardson and Engineer Joe Marquedant were on
hand to represent John Barclay, Director of the YMCA facility on
East Street, who also spoke from the gallery area.
Of concern at the last meeting, and answered at this one, was
the method of fire protection for the proposed facility. The
YMCA has promised to install a "minimum" 10,000 gallon water
cistern to accommodate dedicated fire protection for the
building, which will also add protection for existing nearby
buildings, according to Mr. Richardson.
Member Sandy Altamura wanted to be sure that emergency apparatus
had "easy access" to the nurse's office that will be located in
the facility.
"We need to make sure that no one puts jungle gyms there [next
to the building]," said member Claire Wright.
Someone suggested leaving access for fire trucks to be able to
drive around the building.
"I don't think the code says you need to get all the way around
the building," said member Ken Weismantel.
"The key is to get people away from a building. You never put a
fire truck near a building," he said.
Answering concerns of Selectmen Vice-Chair Mary Pratt, who spoke
from the gallery, Mr. Richardson promised that the facility will
be ADA compliant, and that water-conserving plumbing fixtures
will be used.
Mr. Barclay, in answer to one of Mrs. Pratt's concerns for the
neighbors, said that the dumpsters would be, "off the beaten
path."
Member Carol DeVeuve asked that $1,000 performance guarantee be
gotten from the applicant to assure completion and to insure
against erosion. The board also added the requirement of a 15'
strip of open land around the building.
After the plan was approved, Mr. Richardson said that the
construction will start next year, 2010.

Selectmen
Call Upon School Dept. to Reduce Expenses
"It's very
clear the taxpayers' income is going down" ~Selectmen Chair Brian Herr
March 21,
2009 — A Saturday morning Selectmen's "working session" in Room 211 of
Town Hall ended with a call for the School Department to follow their
lead and reduce expenses. School and Town Departments were represented
today in the room.
"I am asking the leadership to actually exercise leadership," said
Selectman Michael Shepard.
Selectmen Chair Brian Herr asked Interim Town Manager Clayton Carlisle
about salary increases in the budget.
Mr. Carlisle said that there was "Zero on the COLA [Cost of Living
Allowance] and 1 or 2 that have a step increase."
Speaking to Mr. Shepard, Mr. Herr said, "Are you okay giving them a step
increase at the department head level?"
Mr. Shepard said, "I am not comfortable. We are asking them to take a
hit already. We are only in control of a small part of the budget. We
are not the largest department out there."
Looking at the audience, where School Committee Chair Nancy Burdick and
School Superintendent
John
E. Phelan were seated, Mr. Herr said, "We are doing this [freezing
salaries] on the Town side with our leadership, we
are looking for the School Committee to do the same.
"It's very clear the taxpayers' income is going down," Mr. Herr said.
"There are towns around us that are cutting to 80%. We have to be
careful. People are lucky to have a job. We are entering negotiations
with various unions."
Mrs. Burdick answered, "We are planning a working session prior to your
March 31 meeting.
"We hoped to glean information from this [today's] session." It was not
clear if there is a meeting on that date.
Mr. Herr then recapped some of the day's bullets.
"IT — We did save money there," he said. The Town plans to save $30,000
through a collaborative effort with the School Department.
"We didn't discuss HR consolidation. That is an opportunity."
Mr. Carlisle offered hope that the budget for the Tree Warden could be
"welcomed" into the DPW budget.
Mr. Herr said that there were savings from a possible purchase of
streets light, as well as a reduction of hours in the office of the Town Clerk.
"We are making progress," he said.
Appropriations Committee members Ron Eldridge and Joe Karner said that
the Town Charter demands that they have the budget in their hands by
April 1, because they need to hold a public hearing.
"We have a list of [budget] items we need to talk about," said Mr.
Karner.
Mr. Carlisle assured them that that "Ninety-nine percent of the work
will not change from what it is today."
NOTE: Newly
chosen Town Manager Norman Khumalo (photo) was in attendance and
observed the meeting.

Traffic
Stop Leads to Bolton Foot Chase and Trafficking Arrest
March
20, 2009 — Massachusetts State Police charged a Worcester man with trafficking cocaine
yesterday when he was located after he refused to stop for a trooper,
who observed the man throw a bag allegedly containing drugs out of his
car window.
At 5:08 p.m. on March 19, Trooper Kyle
Flanagan, who is assigned to the Leominster
barracks, observed a Nissan Murano failing to yield on the ramp from
Route 495 southbound to Route 2 westbound in Littleton. The vehicle exited Route 2 and was
observed operating at a high rate of speed, failing to yield. Trooper
Flanagan attempted to stop the vehicle on Taylor Street but it accelerated and sped
down the ramp to Route 2 eastbound. The vehicle slowed at the ramp to
Route 495 southbound where the operator threw a grocery bag out of the
passenger window and sped off onto Route 495.
Trooper Flanagan, who had radioed in a
description of the car and its driver, discontinued the pursuit to
secure the bag. Inside of it, he found baggies containing a white powder
and rock substance believed to be cocaine.
Several minutes later, Trooper John Doherty,
who is assigned to the Millbury barracks, observed the vehicle on Route
117 in
Bolton, where it pulled into a lot behind the
Country Cupboard Market. The driver exited his vehicle and tried to run
away. Trooper Doherty engaged in a short foot pursuit, apprehended the
fleeing man, and placed him under arrest without further incident.
The operator and only occupant of the Murano,
33-year-old EMILIO LACEN, was transported to the barracks in Leominster
where he was held on bail pending his morning arraignment in Ayer
District Court. He is charged with operating after suspension, failure
to stop for police, reckless operation, marked lanes violation,
speeding, littering from a motor vehicle, failure to yield and
trafficking cocaine over 200 grams.
The suspected cocaine and its packaging
weighed approximately 666 grams. The Nissan and $259 were seized pending
the outcome of the investigation.

March
20, 2009 — The beFREE! Project held a handball tournament last Saturday
night which was a great success. We had almost 200 students
attend. There were seventeen teams comprised of 155 kids and about 40
spectators. It was beFREE's first athletic event and second Saturday
night event. Clearly there are a lot of kids looking for something fun
to do on a Saturday night. It was great to give them something fun and
active to do.
Much of the work of planning and putting on this event was done by the
students themselves. They did a fantastic job. We appreciate the
cooperation of the high school for letting us host the event in the
athletic center and the wellness department for letting us use some of
their equipment. The Boosters and Hopkinton Gourmet donated gift
certificates for the winning team. The Skate Board Park Club sold
refreshments and donated raffle tickets. We had three parents and one
student referee. All in all it was a real community effort.
Our next events are an Acoustic Coffeehouse on Saturday, April 4
cosponsored with the First Congregational Church and a dance on Friday,
April 17 in partnership with SADD. Thanks for everyone's continued
support of these activities.
The focus of
the beFREE! Project is to encourage our youth to experience life without
drugs and alcohol. To find out more about our work, email us at

by Derek
Dobachesky
March 20, 2009 —
The Hopkinton School Committee discussed federal stimulus money as well
as a plan for seeking community input into potential changes to the bus
transportation policy, and passed the 2009-2010 school year calendar in
a productive regular meeting on Thursday, March 19.
The meetings
started at 7:30 p.m. in the Middle School library, with all Committee
members in attendance, including David Stoldt, who had missed the prior
two meetings. A wide range of new and old topics were addressed during
the two-hour meeting.
The meeting
began with the recognitions section, during which Committee chair Nancy
Alvarez Burdick announced a State of the Schools event that would be put
on by the Hopkinton Parent Teachers Association on April 1 at 7 p.m. The
event will give
community members an opportunity to pose questions about Hopkinton
Public Schools to Superintendant Dr. John Phelan, Burdick and State
Representative Carolyn Dykema by e-mail or by phone. Committee member
Rebecca Robak also commended the high school swim team on "a terrific
season."
Four local
Girl Scouts stood up for the public comment session. They invited the
Committee and community members to a cultural exchange on April 17 at 4
p.m. in the First Congregational Church. The Girl Scout troupe has
invited the mayor of Marathon, Greece — Hopkinton's Sister City; members
of Massachusetts' U.S. Congressional delegation, as well as state
legislators and others to attend the exchange.
Chairwoman
Burdick then updated the Committee on the FY10 budget process. Burdick
said interim town manager Clayton Carlisle has presented the Board of
Selectman with the Committee's flat-funded budget for FY10, which
Carlisle has called its "can do!" budget. However, Burdick also said he
will recommend an alternative budget with an increase of up to $800,000
in funding, as the Committee is
seeking. The
Board of Selectman will meet Saturday, March 21 at 8 a.m. in the Town
Hall for a public budget working session. READ MUCH MORE...

DCR Ranger Assigned to
State House Arrested On Drug Charges
MALDEN –
March 19, 2009 — A
Department of Conservation and Recreation Ranger assigned to the
Massachusetts State House has been
arrested and arraigned on drug charges, Middlesex District Attorney
Gerry Leone informed the public today.
Jon D’Orlando, 32, of Malden, was arraigned today
in Malden District Court on two counts of possession of a Class B
substance (Cocaine and Suboxone) and conspiracy to violate the
controlled substance act. D’Orlando was arrested yesterday at
approximately 4:50 p.m. by MaldenPolice and
State Police assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney’s PACT Unit. At that time, he posted cash bail set at
$140. Today, Malden District Court Judge Dominic Paratore imposed that
same bail figure.
The
male who is alleged to have sold D’Orlando the Cocaine, Luis
Villa-Posada, 36, of Winthrop, was also arrested immediately following
the alleged drug deal and charged with trafficking in cocaine,
conspiracy to violate the drug law, and drug violation near a school or
park. At today's arraignment, Malden District Court Judge Paratore
imposed a $1000 cash bail.
According to authorities, at approximately 2:00 p.m.
yesterday, officers assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney’s PACT
unit and Malden PD were assembled in the City of Malden to execute a search warrant at 310 Pearl Street in
Malden. While
assembled, officers observed D’Orlando enter the passenger side of a
blue Honda operated by Villa-Posado. The vehicle then drove off down Pearl Street. Almost
immediately after driving off, the car abruptly came to a stop and
D’Orlando exited the vehicle.
D’Orlando then entered his own vehicle and officers
followed him to 310 Pearl
Street, where he exited the vehicle. Officers
then observed him drop a bag on the ground, which was later identified
as containing cocaine.
These charges are allegations, and the defendant is presumed
innocent until proven guilty.
The Middlesex District Attorney’s PACT Unit,
established when District Attorney Leone took office, is dedicated to
the investigation and prosecution of cases of public
protection (including narcotics and organized crime), anti-terrorism,
corruption, and technology.
The case is being investigated by State Police assigned to
the Middlesex District Attorney’s PACT Unit and Malden Police. Assistant District
Attorney Carrie Spiros handled the arraignments.
