Use Caution
by Robert Falcione August 20, 2009 — Cumberland Farms, which dropped the Gulf Mart brand when they renovated and reopened earlier this year, has installed new stanchions between the glass windows and doors and the parking area. This follows a Milford resident crashing through the front doors and smashing the gondolas against the rear walls not long ago. However, all is not yet 100% at this location. A couple of weeks ago, a process began when this writer was pulling into the driveway above on the right side when the driver of a vehicle exiting yelled angrily, because he saw two exit arrows. Apparently, judging from the wear on the paint, the two arrows have been there for quite a while, with drivers ignoring them all day long. Several tracks from vehicles entering this "exit" can be seen leading from the puddle and into the lot above. And although there are two exit arrows, there is room for four cars abreast, causing much confusion. This writer spoke with both the Planning Director and the Chief of Police. about the situation. Two employees who were outside one day said that people just ignore the arrows, and that drivers have gotten used to using it for both an exit and an entrance. But not all drivers are daily visitors, and some take the arrows to heart. Planning Director Elaine Lazarus said that the other, west entrance, according to site plan review, is supposed to be only an entrance, but the one shown above was never designated as a one way. Chief of Police Thomas Irvin met with a Cumberland Farms representative recently, who agreed to mark this opening properly as an entrance and an exit within two weeks. "It is an accident waiting to happen," he said today. |

Health Care Reform and Debate
by Robert Falcione August 20, 2009 — A lot of people are getting involved in countering the message of the White House regarding health care reform and the bill that goes along with it. There is a lot of disinformation about the proposals and various parts of the bill. The bill is intended to reform the current system and also develop a governmental program of affordable health care for those not now covered. It is also expected to lower the costs of existing private care. Here are some resources: • The full 1,000+ pages of the bill. Remember to expand the index on the left of this pdf file to help in the reading of it. • Congressman James McGovern's website has information and links on his website as well as activities and news. • The White House has a large, informative website. Also, see the reality check button above.
Please become informed and armed with the facts of the health insurance reform measures.

Safety First
August 17, 2009 — Tree expert Joe Regan is the picture of safety as he climbs this tree strapped in and wearing eye, ear and head protection today as he and his crew took several trees down between Town Hall and Country Plus as part of a redesign and beautification of the front of Town Hall, a long-awaited project that got sidetracked while flooding issues were addressed. That space, which was full of overgrown arborvitae, is now opened up, giving the architecture of Town hall space to breathe. Two overgrown trees were removed front the front previously. |

A Dozen Minutes Away
And only a couple of miles over Upton line through Northbridge, is a vista unlike any other local scene. It is Lookout Rock, part of the Blackstone River and Canal State Park. It is just 400' off of the road and is the location of local legend, formerly officially called King Philip's Rock, due to local lore that placed the leader a group of native Americans hiding in a cave below the rock, escaping vengeful settlers from the area now called Framingham. Over the years, the state placed signs with the name King Philip on the rock that were stolen and replaced, and stolen and replaced. Some say the name was changed due to political correctness, but the truth of this matter is elusive. The Blackstone Canal, which was constructed to bring goods from Worcester to the Atlantic Ocean by way of Providence, was completed and put into service in 1828. Despite its success, a mere twenty years later the emergence of the railroad rendered the canal obsolete. The Blackstone River, areas of the former canal, its floodplain, as well as surrounding hills can be seen from the rock. Trails surround both sides of the river, one of which is adjacent to the old canal and is on top of the causeway that the mules pulled the barges from. In some areas, the river run next to the trail, and grapes hang from vines that reach toward hikers. One trail goes all the way from Plummer's Corner in Northbridge to the Stanley Woolen Mills in Uxbridge, and crosses only one street on its four-mile journey. A side trail, the steepest and most challenging in the reservation, is known to mountain bikers, whose goal is to make it to the top of Moon Hill without stopping. Most stop halfway up. Here is a map that shows the location of Lookout Rock, accessible on Quaker Street in Northbridge, about 12 minutes from the Hopkinton line. The video below shows some turkeys on the street on the way to the rock, a cardinal on a trail leading to the rock, and a walk up the rock itself, with a look at a hawk above, the valley floor below, and a causeway that is at least 1.5 miles away. Please forgive the handheld condition, which contributes to shake, especially more than a mile away.

August 14, 2009 — Hopkinton dodged another bullet with the approval by the Water Resources Authority (WRA) of the town's request to transfer 204,000 gallons per day of wastewater to Milford. Because Hopkinton is in the SuAsCo River Basin, the town needed an approval from that board in the form of a Determination of Insignificance to transfer the wastewater to Milford, which is in the Charles River Basin.
The towns of Milford and Hopkinton have a written Under one million gallons is considered insignificant. And although that means it does not need a full MEPA review, the transfer did need to be reviewed and approved by the WRA. Town Manager Norman Khumalo (File photo, left) said today, "This means the town has every opportunity to address the needs in the South Street commercial area. "Milford has done its part in upgrading the sewer infrastructure all the way to the town line," he said.
"We still have to go to Milford and make sure they are ready, able and willing to adjust the flow amount," he said. "It will give us the ability to increase capacity for sewer on South street, in particular to build out a little more, perhaps to four stories." Asked about the immediate needs of the business community on South Street, Mr. Herr said, "Lonza is looking for 75,000 gpd. That leaves capacity for the future and will help when we get Fruit Street up to capacity."
Hopkinton needs another 30' or so of pipe construction to connect.
