The Runners Are Coming!! The Runners Are Coming!! The Kenyans Are Here!
April 16, 2009 — The elite Kenyans runners visited Elmwood School today for the 17 th year as part of the Adopt-a-Marathoner program, dancing into the room to American music and giving hi-fives to eager Hopkins and Elmwood students as they promenaded around a circle and then to the guests tables. Some Hopkinton parents tell HopNews that their children count the number of slaps they get, giving value to the most number. The program, sponsored by John Hancock, begins long before the day of the visit, as students learn about the Kenyan's culture, as well as how to sing the national anthem of Kenya, and how to say, "Jambo," which means hello in their language. The runners at the event included Boston Marathon four-time winner and defending men's champion Robert Kipkoech Cheruiyot. Attending with the champion were world-class Kenyan teammates including the 2008 Chicago Marathon men's champion Evans Cheruiyot, and the 2004 Boston Marathon champion Timothy Cherigat. This Kenyan marathon team, which includes a total of 11 athletes, will participate in the 113th Boston Marathon on Monday, April 20, 2009. The Annual event began in 1993 when 150 Elmwood students welcomed three-time Boston Marathon champion Ibrahim Hussein and his Kenyan teammates. Since the program's inception, Hopkinton school officials have documented a marked increase in participation in their interscholastic track and cross-country teams, which now are among the most competitive in the state. More than 9,500 students, teachers, administrators and other Hopkinton community members have participated in the event since it began. "We are always looking for ways to promote the benefits of education and athletics," said School Superintendent Dr. John E. Phelan, Jr. "This annual event offers a wonderful opportunity for out students to learn about another culture and why it is important to develop a strong work ethic in sports and in school."

Mr. LeDuc has painted the Start line every year for nearly three decades. This year is the first year in a decade or more that the word has faced the cameras rather than the runners, therefore the interesting break in the lettering as he paints one side of the road at a time. |

Pastor Celebrates 25 Years of "Doing Life Together"
April 15, 2009 — Many are familiar with Bob the Builder, the cartoon character who eats, drinks, and sleeps construction. Well, Bob the Pastor, or Pastor Bob as he is affectionately known to the congregants at the First Congregational Church of Hopkinton (FCCH), spends the majority of his waking hours serving God by serving people. This year marks his 25th year of “doing life together,” a term he coined to refer to the cooperative efforts of those who live out life as followers of Christ. Bob Cloutier and his wife, Linda, began attending FCCH in 1974 and shortly thereafter became active in serving in the church. During these early years, Bob chaired the Board of Deacons, under the pastorate of Rev. Richard Germaine. As Bob and Linda’s family grew to include three children—Daniel, Rebekah and Lindsay, their small town church also grew and was now a regional church, drawing from many communities in the MetroWest area. Bob’s passion for people and connecting them into the church family became the basis for his service at FCCH. He shared a focus on shepherding and small group ministry with Pastor Dick for several years, eventually leading him to make a bold career change—to leave the field of economics to accept a position as Associate Pastor of Pastoral Care in 1983. When asked how Bob’s appointment affected FCCH, Pastor Dick responded, “Bringing Bob Cloutier on the staff at FCCH was a new and challenging experience for the congregation. They were accustomed to having pastors come from seminary not out of the congregation. It took some persuasion to get them to call Bob on the staff, but several of us were convinced this was of the Lord and urged them to give him a try. The church did, and has never regretted their decision. He gained his seminary education while being our associate pastor for pastoral care. He was called to this position in order that the congregation would have the kind of pastoral care needed but not adequately receiving at the time due to the growing size of the church and only one pastor.

Senior Moments Angels Among Us
Fran Coutinho working on her angel sculpture
by Nancy L. Drawe (Punky)
April 15, 2009 — Carol Mecagni’s Pottery Class — squishy, gooey, wet clay all over your hands — under your fingernails, on your smock; that what it’s all about! Every Tuesday morning at 9:30 up at the Senior Center, a group of women get together to create their own special “works of art” by using clay formed into shapes by hand or by using the potters wheel.
Carol’s class is very popular and by no means is she a stranger at the senior center. She started by teaching an “Art Sampler” class to the seniors where each week would be something different such as watercolors, acrylics, still life and printmaking. She thought maybe working with clay would be a nice change for one week, but everyone liked it so much that they requested that pottery be offered as the weekly class.
Carol, who has
been a tapestry weaver for 20 years and a trained painter, was also

Step back to a simpler time as the Hopkinton Middle School Drama Club Presents GREASE! May 1st, 2nd and 3rd Hopkinton Middle School Auditorium
Hopkinton, MA --- The Hopkinton Middle School Drama department is proud to present the timeless Broadway musical GREASE (school version). This family-friendly adaptation of the popular stage production will be performed on Friday May 1st at 7:00pm, Saturday May 2nd at 7pm and Sunday, May 3rd at 2pm.
Lead by 8th graders Leah Raczynski as “Sandy,” Alex Kirshy as “Danny,” Blair Guild as “Rizzo” and Liam Horsman as “Kenickie” the cast of over 100 middle school students enlivens the stage with the innocence and energy that defines the decade. Bobby-soxsers, greasers, Pink Ladies, cheerleaders and Beauty School Angels come together to bring us popular musical numbers such as “Summer Nights” and “We Go Together.”
“The students are stepping away from texting, Guitar Hero and the internet to learn about, and live life (at least during daily rehearsals!), as teens in the1950s” states Ms. Hallyann Gifford, Hopkinton Middle School Drama teacher and Director of the show. “It has been a fun process to teach the children and watch them embrace this wonderful era.”
The talented cast of actors, singers and dancers will draw the audience into this nostalgic look at the 50’s with memorable scenes from a drive-in movie and the high school prom, complete with the Hully-Gully, the Madison and, of course, the Hand-Jive.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students/seniors and can be purchased in advance at the Middle School Office or at the door the evening/day of the performance. |

An Hour Worked is an Hour Saved Time-banks pay only interest
by Elizabeth eidlitz April 14, 2009 — Whether cowrie shells or cattle, poker chips or pigs, yen or euros, silver dollars or zappozats (decorated axes), chosen objects have been transformed into currency and used as a medium of exchange since the Stone Age.
‘Time Banking,’ a social change movement in 22 countries and six continents, is a pay-it-forward program that fosters community building and economic justice. The Time Trade Circle is a local bank that tracks good deeds. When you spend an hour of your time performing a service for somebody else, you are credited with one Time Dollar. You can cash in that Time Dollar on a desired service that anyone else in the network provides. Whether you give a music lesson or feng shui tips, teach someone to make mozzarella cheese with pesto and prosciutto, or drive someone to a doctor's appointment, one hour equals one Time Dollar. If members trade things like apple pies or artwork, the hours exchanged should be the amount of time it took to make the product. Unlike conventional bartering between two individuals, you can make your exchange with anyone you want, and haggling or compromising about the value of items is eliminated. Built around the basic concept of earning and spending hours, everyone’s skills—be they those of a medical professional or a house painter-- are equally valuable. Because an hour is a standard unit of measurement, and Time Dollars, intended for a charitable purpose, are backed only by moral obligation, the IRS has determined that regardless of what is offered, Time Dollars are not taxable. The Time Bank Directory lists Massachusetts time banks only in Rockport, Andover, Cambridge, Lynn, and Somerville, but according to the Cambridge web site “you can join if you live anywhere in the greater Boston area. If you live far from other members, your exchanges might start slowly, but you can encourage your neighbors to join and then you'll have Time Trade Circle members who live near you.” For those interested in establishing Time Banks in Metrowest towns, see recommendations at http://www.timebanks.org/get-involved.htm (And --> Story on ABC.) “A sliding scale membership fee of $10-$40/year should make it easy for any community to afford the software and incidental expenses of running a Time Bank.” Each Time Bank has a web site where you list what you would like to do for other members. You look up Time Bank services online or call a community coordinator to do it for you. The website introduces Time Bank members to each other, facilitates the exchange of services and keeps track of the hours exchanged. Essentially members are on the honor system to enter the hours accurately so that everyone's account is kept up to date. “We also recommend that every Time Bank ask its members to pay an additional fee in Time Dollars, in keeping with the spirit of Time Banking.” To bring Time Banking to your neighborhood, school, church or agency, there’s a Time Banking Start-up Kit which provides step-by-step guidance for explaining Time Banking, finding members, running orientation meetings, and dividing up leadership roles. Cambridge does not perform background checks on members, ‘but meets each member at an orientation meeting before they are given access to the internal website. Additionally, members and interested people can meet each other and set up service exchanges at monthly potluck suppers.” Time Banking creates a system that connects unmet needs with untapped resources. As Dr. Edgar S. Cahn, who founded Time Dollars in 1980, said, “We have what we need if we use what we have.” |

Planning Board Hears More Legacy Farms Traffic Impacts
by Robert Falcione April 14, 2009 — Traffic engineer Robert Nagi appeared on behalf of Boulder Capital's Legacy Farm Project of 940 residential units and 450,000 square feet of retail/commercial space in a continued Public Hearing dealing with a Master plan Special Permit for the project before the Planning Board. Abutters, residents and business owners attended the hearing, some to ask questions or give suggestions the the Board. Resident Mary Arnaut asked the Board not to go along with the taking of spaces that Legacy Farms shows on the final buildout plan. Phase Three of the plan calls for the removal of eleven spaces from Main Street — from Walcott Street to the Sovereign Bank — as well as the taking of land from Colella's Supermarket at the full buildout of Legacy Farms. Mr. Nagi has repeated at previous meetings that at full buildout of Legacy Farms, and after the intersection and Main Street are altered in the aforementioned way, that the intersection would "be back to failure status." However, no further plans have been proposed to mitigate that finality. "Yes, some of the spaces would be eliminated Downtown due to the re-striping," said Chairman Mark Abate, blaming the tail for wagging the dog. "That's the position the Planning Board is taking?" asked Mrs. Arnaut. "That's the proposal," said Mr. Abate. "It's inevitable," he said. "As for eminent domain, it's too early to tell," he said. However, the final stage calls for the taking of some of Colella's property. The first stage of work planned for the Route 135/85 intersection is an upgrade of signalization to traffic-responsive signals and installation of a left-turn arrow going north and going south that would pause the opposing traffic for left turns. It will add a safety factor, said Mr. Nagi, but would actually take traffic longer to get though the intersection, except at off-peak hours. Mary Pratt asked for a dedicated left turn at Grove and Main, but after the meeting, Mr. Nagi said the lane will not be dedicated, because they do not plan on adding a lane until the road is widened. When asked why Grove street couldn't have as many lanes as Cedar Street, he said it is because the road is not wide enough, even though it is wider than Grove. "I see this work is supposed to be done in 2009 according to the Host community agreement," said Dale Danahy, Manager of Colella's. "Can we get a date?" she asked. Town Planner Elaine Lazarus said it is a DPW/Board of Selectmen issue. Director of Public Works, JT Gaucher was on hand and said that he was waiting for information from the town's engineer, "Then it goes out to bid," he said. The Planning Board will discuss the issue next at a May 19 meeting.

Positively Hopkinton Excellence in Education
April 14, 2009 — Educators from more than three-dozen school districts nominated their cream of the crop to receive a Goldin Foundation for Excellence in Education Award Monday evening in the High School Auditorium, which was full of their peers, friends and family. Six educators were chosen from those districts, two coming from Hopkinton. One of the recipients was Middle School science teacher Evren Gunduz, above, who is known for his high level of positive energy and his innovative youth leadership groups, where kids mentor kids. Mrs. Patricia Diamond, photo below, is Elmwood's music instructor, who said she surprised Principal Ilene Silver with an ensemble of 200 recorders playing at one event. Her orchestra grows exponentially with each school assembly. Both teachers, as well as the educators from other districts, spoke of teaching values above all, while they presented their subjects. The educators at the forum spoke of their love for their job, the love for the children they teach and the rewarding comfort they get, even though the job is "24/7," as one teacher put it.
According to the presentation this evening, and the Foundation's website, the award criteria are as follows:
The award is designed top recognize excellence, expertise, and demonstrable achievement in education. Criteria for this award correspond closely to the Foundation’s belief that educators play a vital role in society supporting young people’s growth and preparing them to be adaptable, flexible, creative, and responsive to future societal changes.
