DARRYL MCCAULEY ARRAIGNED IN CONNECTION WITH EMBEZZLING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM HIS FORMER CLIENT, COMEDIAN DANE COOK
In December 2008, the Attorney General’s Office began an investigation after the matter had been referred by Cook and his lawyer. McCauley was the business manager for Cook from the early 1990’s until early December 2008. As the book keeper, McCauley was responsible for the management of his client’s financial affairs, including the receipt and payment of bills; the receipt, deposit, and management of Cook’s income and revenue from various business ventures in which his former client controlled. The charges pertain to thefts that are alleged to have occurred between January 2008 through December of 2008, and the investigation is ongoing. Authorities allege that McCauley stole millions of dollars from Cook’s business accounts by transferring those funds to his own personal accounts, and in one instance, forging a three million dollar check written from his client’s account to himself. Authorities allege that McCauley used this money for his own personal use. Authorities also allege that McCauley made the transfers without the knowledge or consent of Cook. On December 30, 2008, McCauley was arrested by Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Attorney General’s Office at his residence without incident. He was arraigned the next day in Woburn District Court before District Court Judge Joseph Jennings, where he pled not guilty, and was ordered held on $3 million cash bail. The bail was then subsequently reduced to $500,000.
On March 19, 2009, a Middlesex
Grand Jury returned indictments against McCauley. Today, he was
arraigned in Middlesex Superior Court where he entered a plea of not
guilty. Clerk Magistrate Michael Sullivan ordered that McCauley be held
on bail and raised the amount to $1 million. McCauley is scheduled to
appear in Middlesex Superior Court on April 16, 2009, for a pre-trial
conference. If McCauley
posts bail, he must surrender his passport and stay in the state of The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Rick Grundy, Chief of Attorney General Martha Coakley’s Criminal Bureau, and was investigated by the Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Attorney General’s Office. |

March 25, 2009 —
We meet
again! The Hopkinton Garden Club members were at the
The tables were filled with all sorts of pretty little flat, pressed colors, so many to choose from! There were some beautiful frames completed, some to keep and some to give away. Phyllis said she was going to give hers to a good friend who now lives in assisted living; it’ll be perfect for the new pictures of her grandchildren. I just love going to these classes and having the chance to talk to members such as Joan Luciano, Simone Margolis, Kate Heyd as well as Leslie—they are always so friendly and happy to be able to host these projects for the seniors. Their ideas are always wonderful and truly appreciated!
Glass jar terrariums will be the next garden project and that will be held on May 5th. The specialty flower of the month will be African violets, along with some greenery to make your own little terrarium to take home. Remember, these classes are FREE and materials are supplied by the Garden Club. Till we meet again!
Just a little personal note of my own—this past Saturday I attended the basketball game at the middle school between the Hopkinton Police Officers and the members of the Special Olympics team. It was such a fun couple of hours; I couldn’t believe the time went by so quickly. The Hopkinton police officers and their families are amazing—volunteering on their day off for this great event. The champion HHS Cheerleaders also volunteered to come and cheer for both teams. No matter how hard Team Police tried, they just could not beat Team Special Olympics—with a final score of 82-24. Everyone was a winner though, because after the game, pizza, salads and desserts were served in the cafeteria! Kudos to both the Hopkinton Police Officers and the Special Olympics team—they all did an awesome job!
That’s it for now, so if you have any comments or suggestions, you can email me: Punkala@aol.com. Until next time, have a great week!
A Note from the Senior Center: Are you thinking about, or hoping to, retire soon?

On Thursday, April 2 at 8:30 a.m. the Senior Center will host a presentation titled “Healthcare options for People Thinking about Retirement- Building Your Bridge to Security”. Susan Flanagan of Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA will discuss COBRA and direct pay options for those under 65, as well as the benefits and gaps in traditional Medicare and the various health plans available to Medicare recipients. She will explain the difference between Medigap, Medicare Advantage plans, PPOs and Fee for Service plans. Also included is an explanation of the complicated Part D prescription plan. The presentation is open to all, regardless of insurance coverage. Coffee will be served and a question and answer session will follow. Please call the Senior Center at 508-497-9730 to sign up.

Selectmen Consolidate Some Services with Schools "It is a good step forward for us as a town" ~ Dr. John Phelan, Superintendant
March 24, 2009 — Selectmen this evening granted permission to
the Downtown Revitalization Committee to
Liaison Reports Selectman Matt Zettek proposed supporting "Earth Hour," encouraging towns, cities, government and residents to turn off their lights for an hour on March 28 between 8:30 and 9:30 pm." It was not lost on at least one of the selectmen that the Hopkinton Police Dinner/Dance will be held on that evening at the Portuguese Club in Milford. Mr. Zettek also suggested that Hopkinton's "sister city," Marathon, Greece, do it at the same time. "We don't know what time of day it will be there," laughed Vice-Chair Mary Pratt. Mrs. Pratt brought up a situation from a few days ago, when a "suicidal" young man called police distraught and armed with a knife, to push for retention of funds for mental health. The teen was subdued with a less-than-lethal weapon brought by a Holliston Sgt. monitoring the channel. Selectman RJ Dourney agreed, saying, "We should encourage the legislature to be careful how they spend our tax dollars." Mr. Dourney also praised the Library staff and Director Rownak Hussain for absorbing the extra need as people buy fewer books and borrow more. Selectman Michael Shepard promised that the Veterans Memorial Gazebo would be dedicated on Memorial Day, following the parade. Selectmen Chairman Brian Herr asked Mr. Shepard, a veteran of the Marine Corps, to represent the Board of Selectmen at the event. Mr. Shepard is not running for reelection, and the day following the May 18 election, he will no longer be a Selectman, but he agreed nonetheless. Dr. John Duffy, who is on the Board of Assessors, spoke as a private citizen during the public input session, and said that in his 50 years of attending Town Meeting, he has never seen anyone discriminate against employees at Town Meeting. He was referring to the Town unilaterally ending step increases and COLA (cost of living increase) for non-union employees. The Town intends to open negotiations with unions to achieve similar results. Director of Public Works, JT Gaucher (Photo, above right) reported that trees have been removed and widening will begin on Saturday for the 2200' temporary road on the Town's Fruit Street property that will link to the proposed sports field area. He said Garner Bros Sawmill volunteered to removal the trees . Mr. Gaucher answered in the affirmative when asked if Garner Bros are abutters to the land. Furthermore, it came to light that they are in negotiations with the Town for an easement to their land, a situation that caused Town counsel, Ray Miyares, to promise to look into the matter. Brendan Doyle, Parks and Recreation Commission Chair was on hand to report that the effort to get a partner for the approved sports field at Fruit Street needs to go out to bid. The partnering organization will need to come up with $500,000 in donations that the Town has promised to add $1 million in CPC (Community Preservation Commission) money to match. In a related matter, the Selectmen voted to approve putting a question on the ballot to confirm a Town Meeting vote last year that removed the word "passive" in the CPC language. The passive portion of the money was 50%, but did not allow active recreation from that large funding pool. If approved, the new language will allow it. CPC money is gotten from a law passed by Town Meeting, and a confirming vote at the ballot, that allows the Town to set aside 2% of tax revenue into the fund. In the golden years, the state was matching 100%, but last year the state's contribution was down to 29%, and Selectmen had a discussion this evening on reducing the Town-raised amount to 1%. The 1% will be needed to pay for projects that have already been funded for a few years, said Town CFO Heidi Kriger this evening.
Interim Town Manager Clayton Carlisle unfurled a list of
savings, reductions, and increases in Some of the actions that require cooperation with the School Department will likely need adoption of Chapter 70, said Mr. Herr, giving credit to the new Town Manager, Norman Khumalo, for bringing that up at last Saturday's meeting. The Selectmen voted to change to a bi-weekly payroll period, saving half of the labor of making the payroll, they believe. School Committee member Phil Totino (photo, left) and Superintendent of Schools John Phelan agreed with the plan to have facilities maintenance consolidated with the Town. "The School Committee has been in favor of this concept moving forward," said Mr. Totino. "There are greater opportunities for savings going forward," said Dr. Phelan. "We will look at doing the same thing in the school side. It is a good step forward for us as a town," he said. |

Mother of Four to Run for Lions
March 24, 2009 — Ann-Michele Dragsbaek, a mother of four who is more well known for being a professional hair stylist, is adding annual Marathon Runner to her repertoire. This will be the fourth Boston Marathon for Ann-Michele. While most people were cozy in their homes in January, Ann-Michele, who started when she was 23 years-old, was out cranking up the running miles. "During the week, I did short runs, but on the weekends, I run up to 21 miles at a time. "Sometimes I run to my parents house in Grafton, to take a needed moment, and then get going again," she said. Ann-Michele said she used to go to the gym until she had children.
"I found it easier to run to stay in shape, because you didn't
need to conform to a schedule. You can
Her 8 and 10 year-olds ran in a 5 mile race in York last summer, and she expects they will again this year. "And the Mini-Marathon in Hopkinton," she added. "I missed qualifying last year by two minutes!" she said, acknowledging it as an accomplishment, rather than a defeat. "Boston [BAA Marathon] is the only marathon you have to qualify for, but because I am running for a charity, the Lions Club, I have an official number this year. "Anyone can be a bandit, but to get a bib, you need to qualify or run for a charity. "I chose the Lions because they have many different charities they give to, but they do a lot specifically for eyesight. I got hooked up by a customer who is a Lion," she said. Ann-Michele is a little more than halfway to her $2,000 goal, and is accepting more donations. |
