Bill's Pizza's Last Night in Old Building 

One customer is very unhappy

 

November 9, 2009 — Bill's Pizza closes temporarily and one customer doesn't know what to do. They plan to demolish the existing building next Saturday, open Bill's on Wheels in the rear at the beginning of December, and have a new building ready in February.

And the Whinners Winners Are...

November 9, 2009 —The Hopkinton Community Spelling Bee organized by the Hopkinton Education Foundation (HEF) and the Hopkinton Parent Teacher Association (HPTA) on Friday evening at the Hopkins Cafetorium was won by Star Realty - "Stellar Spellers".  The team was made up of, from left, Lily Holden, Seth Lipkin and Janet Carlson who are showing off their prizes.

Truck Driven into Ashland Reservoir

Driver not located

Above, divers prepare to go in the water and swim out to the submerged vehicle.

 

November 8, 2009 — Firefighters and police from surrounding towns, including Hopkinton, responded to aid Ashland search for a pickup truck reportedly driven into Ashland Reservoir, as well as the person driving it. Someone reported it driven into the water, according to sources at the scene.

     The mood was somber among the spectators who gathered out of curiosity. A collective gasp could be heard from those gathered as the pickup truck was winched above the surface of the water, and people wondered if the body of the driver of the truck would be the next to surface, after being underwater for far too long to have survived. The divers had been to the underwater site and had to know that there was no one in the vehicle but the Ashland Fire Department did not make that public until PIO (Public Information Officer) Lt. David Iarussi, spoke to the press.

       He said that the firefighters were doing a preliminary search for the driver that could be expanded to a wider search if they felt the need. He said that there had not been a police pursuit prior to the crash into the water. In addition, Lt. Iarussi said that a firefighter received a facial injury during the winching operation.

       Ashland Police Chief Scott Rohmer said that "the owner was found at a location" that was not his home, and that the vehicle had been reported stolen. He did not say whether or not the vehicle had been reported stolen before or after the crash. He said detectives are investigating.

     During a follow up call to the Ashland Police Department, a dispatcher said he could not release anything at this time.

        The area of Spring Street is not well lit, and one resident at the scene said a BMW went into the drink at the same location earlier this year. A person driving at night for the first time on this road heading north could easily mistake the opening for the boat ramp, which is on a direct path from the road, as being a continuation of the roadway.

Health Care Reform Passes House of Representatives 

Jeff Glor reports

The United States House of Representatives passed a health care reform bill yesterday. Now it needs Senate approval.  CBS News is always available from HopNews.

Oh, Deer!

Two hit, about 90 minutes apart, same location

November 7, 2009 — Two female deer were struck and killed by different drivers after dark this evening on West Main Street just east of Whalen Road. The first deer, a large doe, was found in the westbound lane of travel. Police a the scene were not aware of whether or not the driver made himself known.

     The second deer was hit in nearly the same location, in the same lane of travel, but was thrown off to the side of the road. Sometimes these wild animals are injured and need to be put down by police on the scene, but in each case this evening, the animals died instantly.

     The area is a popular crossing for deer, and especially this time of year during the rut, or mating season, where females enter oestrus and are receptive to mating. The males become sexually excited and seek females. The heightened movement and excitement by these animals this time of year puts them in jeopardy on the roadways.

     Two of the most frequent areas that road kills of deer occur are the area on West Main from the lights at Main Street to Golden Pond, and the Cedar Street Flats.

      Drivers should be extra vigilant in those areas. Not only do deer get killed, but they have also been known to crash through a driver's windshield and kick the occupants.

Police Catch Fruit Street Fields Vandal; He Confesses

November 7, 2009 — An alert citizen who witnessed a Honda CRV drive onto the existing children's soccer fields on Fruit Street Friday night, called Hopkinton Police who issued a BOLO (Be On the LookOut) for the vehicle.

      Two hours later, units situated through town spotted a vehicle that fitted the description committing a traffic violation and pulled it over on Main Street. As a result of the stop, and the information provided by the citizen, the teen, who police refused to identify at this time, cooperated and confessed to committing the crime on Friday evening, according to Officer Matthew McNeil. The fields were also damaged on Thursday evening, but it is unknown at this time if the crimes are related, and the police did not have that information.

      The eighteen year-old Hopkinton male, who was with three other teens at the time, was issued a criminal complaint and will be summonsed to court and charged with Malicious Destruction of Property Over $250 and Trespassing With a Motor Vehicle.

Senior News for November is Now Online. The Button Is Always Above. Excerpt:

A Note From The Directors Desk

 

I would like to thank all the Friends of the Hopkinton Seniors, the volunteers, staff, donors and supporters for the success of the recent auction. Though it was quite a bit of work it was also a great deal of fun. Approximately $5,500 was raised and this will certainly help to assure our continued success of the transportation and nutrition programs at the Senior Center.

        During November, as you will read further along in the newsletter, the Friends will continue the fund raising activities with the Nov. 7 Craft Fair and the annual Christmas and Jewelry Sale November 20 and 21. We look forward to your continued support and ask that you spread the word to your friends and families.

The Council on Aging board members and Senior Center staff hope everyone will enjoy a happy and safe Thanksgiving – there is much to be thankful for.

Cindy Chesmore, Director

Fruit Street Vandals!!

Mouse-over the image to see more damage

November 6, 2009 — One or more vandals left their marks at the Fruit Street soccer fields, the ones that are on the road to Garner Bros sawmill. The DPW will have to repair the damage at a cost that has yet to be estimated. The case will be assigned to a Hopkinton Police Department detective, who will make sure no stone is unturned in bringing the criminal to justice.

     The entrance to the walking trails at the public parking area of the Fruit Street property had its chain and supporting post ripped out of the ground by a vandal a few weeks ago, but has since been fortified. A missing chain or barrier allowed the criminal access to the fields to tear it up.

No More Kindergarten AM-PM Switch in 2010-2011

b y Heather Kelley

November 6, 2009 — The yearly kindergarten flip-flop dance that happens in Hopkinton every January, where morning kindergartners switch to afternoon sessions and afternoon kindergartners become morning students, is about to end if the recommendations presented by the Full-day Kindergarten Implementation Committee are fully executed.  At last night’s School Committee meeting, Center School principal Jennifer Parson appeared with the Full-day Committee to explain their research and findings.  Citing a lack of evidence showing that there is any benefit to students in switching between morning and afternoon Kindergarten, and expressing a desire to help parents make year-long childcare arrangements, the Committee is recommending to have each side of town remain either morning or afternoon Kindergarten for the entire year, starting with the 2010-2011 school year.

 

In addition, the School Committee has moved to accept the recommendation that one pilot Full-day Kindergarten classroom be established at Center School next year.  Currently, the cost to families is projected to be about $3700 for one of the 18-20 slots that will be available in the class.  This will keep the pilot program a revenue neutral, or slightly revenue positive, endeavor, which was a prerequisite.  A televised lottery selection process for students is proposed for early February.  “Sometimes, to get to the point where you want to be for everybody, you have to start somewhere,” said Parson, sharing the concern of many School Committee members that demand for the spaces will surpass the supply.

State Trooper Shot in New Bedford, Saved by Body Armor • Suspect Killed

 

November 5, 2009 — A Massachusetts State Police Trooper assigned to a tactical entry team was shot by a suspect during execution of a search warrant this morning in New Bedford. The bullet was absorbed by the trooper’s body armor. Troopers returned fire, killing the suspect.

 

The incident began at 6 a.m. today, when members of the Massachusetts State Police Special Tactical Operations (STOP) Team went to 21 Shawmut Avenue in New Bedford to execute a warrant to search for illegal narcotics inside that residence.

 

Per the requirements of the warrant, the troopers knocked on the exterior door of the two-family home and verbally announced their presence, that they were police officers, and that they had a warrant. They then moved through that door and approached an interior door that led to the first floor apartment that was the subject of the warrant.

 

As the troopers approached the second door, multiple gunshots suddenly were fired through the wall next to the door at the troopers. As the troopers were breaching the door, one member of the entry team was struck in the torso by one of the shots fired from within the apartment. Fearing for the officers’ safety, a trooper or troopers discharged their weapons. As a result of that discharge, a male occupant of the apartment was shot and suffered fatal injuries.

 

The trooper who was shot was wearing protective body armor, which absorbed the impact of the bullet. Because of his protective armor, the trooper suffered no immediately apparent injuries.

 

The suspect is not being identified at this time pending proper family notifications.

 

The scene has been secured and is being processed for evidence. The incident remains under investigation by the State Police Force Investigation Response and Support Team, State Police detective units, and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section.

 

The search warrant that the STOP Team was serving had been obtained yesterday from the New Bedford District Court by the Bristol County State Police Detective Unit. Massachusetts State Police employ the STOP Team, which is the department's tactical entry team, in execution of warrants when intelligence suggests that suspects inside targeted locations may be in possession of weapons.

Alert Citizen Leads to Arrest of Three Burglars in Milford

 

(Milford, MA.) November 5, 2009 — During recent months we have experienced many breaking and entering complaints especially into motor vehicles in the Milford Community. These incidents have resulted in the thefts of several GPS units, cash, wallets and other valuables that can be easily carried away.

     These incidents have occurred in several different neighborhoods throughout the town and most have occurred during the late night to early morning hours under the cover of darkness. Thefts from motor vehicles have been reported on several days of the week. Police have received some reports of suspicious activity as late as 5:00 am to 6:00 am in the morning.

     Recently Milford Police with the assistance of Bellingham Police arrested three people responsible for breaking and entering charges into several motor vehicles on Saturday October 31, 2009 in the early morning hours close to 6:00 am. On that morning an alert citizen reported to Milford Police that suspicious persons were going through their vehicles parked in their driveways. Milford Police Officers responded and conducted a successful investigation recovering several stolen items from victims in the Bear Hill area of town. Some of the stolen property included GPS, digital video camera, leather jacket, tools, wallet, credit card, car parts, and a calculator. The suspects were transported to the area in a motor vehicle and dropped off for the purpose to steal valuables from parked motor vehicles in the driveways of residents.

     Many of the motor vehicles breaks occurred from vehicles where valuables were left inside the vehicle visible to thieves and in most all cases the car doors were left unlocked.

     The Milford Police Department needs your help to help deter thieves and protect your property:

1. If you hear or see something that you believe is suspicious, follow you gut instinct and call the police right away by dialing 911. Officers will respond to check on the situation.

2. Please lock your doors and close and lock first floor windows in your home.

3. Please do not leave valuables visible to others particularly inside motor vehicles.

4. Always make your property appear occupied.

5. Secure window screens.

6. Light the outside of your home to make visible to your neighbors. Outside motion lights can make it more difficult for a burglar.

7. Trim bushes near doors to reduce hiding places for burglars. Install dead-bolt locks on outside doors making sure you can unlock the doors from inside without a key to allow everyone inside a quick escape from possible dangers such as fire.

8. Don’t keep expensive jewelry, collectables, or large amounts of cash in your home or motor vehicle. Keep a list of valuables with serial numbers and document them using videotape and or photographs.

9. Don’t advertise your absence. Never leave messages on your answering machine that says you are away. Have someone pick up mail, newspaper, set out trash, mow the lawn or shovel snow.

10. Close your garage door. Empty garages may signal no one is home.

11. Lock you vehicles and don’t keep valuables inside your car or at least out of sight thus reducing temptations for thieves.

12. Park vehicles in visible and well lit areas.

13. If you have information and want to remain anonymous then you may call our tips line at (508) 473-3800.

14. Immediately dial 911 if you see or hear something suspicious.

Selectmen Vote for Fruit Street Athletic Fields Agreement

Synthetic turf field to be the first of two planned

Town Manager Norman Khumalo to seek $2.5 million for Milford sewer connection

by Robert Falcione

November 3, 2009 — On Thursday evening, selectmen held their meeting in Room 211, making it a short one, but dealing with some formidable subjects.

     Milford Sewer Deal

     The decade-old deal with Milford to hook up to their sewer system and pay 1.6 times the commercial rate has hit a snag in negotiations to activate the hitherto stale agreement. This year, the state approved an inter-basin transfer of up to 202,000 gallons per day of wastewater from Hopkinton to Milford, less than half what the original agreement had called for. Milford has postured for the entire amount of money previously agreed upon, and they want it all at once.

      Selectmen voted to authorize Town Manager Norman Khumalo to apply for a grant from the state for $2.5 million for that hookup deal.

      Athletic Fields

      The long-awaited agreement between the town and the Hopkinton Youth Soccer Association was voted for signing this evening. The contract allows the association to build and maintain fields at the town-owned Fruit Street property. Hopkinton CPC kicked $1 million in at Town Meeting, the association is seeking a $550,000 bank loan, and the association will put in $100,000 of its own money.

      To hear from HSA President Brian O'Keefe and Parks and Recreation Chairman Ken Driscoll explain on more detail, please watch the YouTube video below recorded this evening.

 

 

Better Safe Than sorry

November 3, 2009 — A business concerned for the well being of a person parked in its Parkwood Drive employee parking area called police, who were also concerned for the driver's safety and took him into protective custody.
