Selectmen Vote to Approve New Land Use Department
by Heather Kelley November 11, 2009 — Selectman Michelle Gates voiced the sole “no” vote last night against the new Department of Land Use, Planning and Permitting, the restructuring brainchild intended to save money and create efficiencies in the town departments that deal with aspects of land. The remaining three selectmen in attendance voted yes to the reorganization that is scheduled to save the Town $50,000 in FY 2010, and $80,000–$100,000 in FY 2011, savings that are coming at the expense of jobs as the only items being cut, according to Town Manager Norman Khumalo, are salaries and benefits.
“I believe that it makes all the sense in the world to go down this path,” said Chairman Brian Herr. “I’m a big fan of this.”
“I have reservations,” countered Gates. “I have a fear of excessive growth with head count,” referring to the possibility of needing to bring back some of the person-hours that this reorganization would cut.
Laura Barry, Library Trustee and Co-Chair of the Library Building Committee, presented to the Board the Library’s Building Plan. “It is a wonderful, tremendous opportunity that we have before us,” said Barry, explaining that the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners is seeking applications for grant money that would pay for up to 50% of the costs of either refurbishing or building a new library. The town would pay for up to 25% of the costs, with the remainder coming from fundraising efforts.
Marjorie Judd, Library Consultant, shared the findings of her 2008 study of the current library. The main faults she cited were a lack of sufficient places to park, the lack of a real office in which to meet with the Library Director, Rownak Hussain (“she has a desk behind some bookcases”), an inaccessible children’s room, and insufficient shelf space for the collection. Judd used a series of focus groups and surveys to assist her in creating the current building proposal for a “cultural meeting place,” which would include 66 parking spots for a 26,000 square foot building housing community rooms and significantly more space for programs, reading, and shelving. Selectman Todd Cestari remarked that “for every dollar that we put in, we get three dollars back.” Chairman Brian Herr concurred with Barry that the appropriate next step is for the Library Building Committee to meet with the Town Manager to move the grant application forward.
Michael DiMascio, Chairman of the ADA Oversight Committee, reported on the progress the Town is making on becoming accessibility compliant. The Town must not only comply with the Americans with Disability Act of 1992, but also with State accessibility regulations first issued, according to DiMascio, by the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board in the 1970s. While DiMascio lauded recent accessibility achievements such as the new, accessible, high school stadium bleachers and the updates to many school playgrounds, he also pointed out the many places where the Town falls short. He cited the town beach at Sandy Beach, EMC Park, and the Middle School stage, among others, as locations that are in need of accessibility updates. “As we’re building new things, such as the fields at Fruit Street, let’s do them right,” urged Selectman Matt Zettek.
John Mosher, Chairman of the Sustainable Green Committee, updated the Board as to the recent work of the Committee, including collaborating with NSTAR and Grove Solar to produce a future Green Forum for citizens, which would afford residents the opportunity “to learn about and understand energy related programs and rebates.” A Sustainability Summit is also in the works. The Committee is endeavoring to establish relationships with those in charge of sustainability initiatives at area businesses such as EMC, for information sharing and mutual assistance. Finally, the Committee is working in conjunction with the Town Manager to hire a consultant to assist with the Town’s green efforts, a position paid for by the State.
Mary McLeod, Outreach Worker at the Senior Center, explained SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as food stamps). All residents, not just seniors, may contact her at the Senior Center for more information about the program, as well as assistance with the application process. Fuel assistance information is also available through her office.
Finally, the Board encouraged attendance at the Veterans’ Day ceremonies to be held at Town Hall on Wednesday, November 11, from 10:30 am until noon. In addition, a complimentary dinner for Hopkinton veterans will be offered tomorrow evening at the Senior Center, with doors opening at 5:30. |

Underage Party Ties Up Police Partygoers flee into woods
November 10, 2009 — Hopkinton Police resources were tied up for a considerable amount of time after they came upon what one officer described as underage drinking. Eight or so of the partygoers fled into the woods behind 1 Wilson Street, dodging police by running behind homes on that street as well as East Main Street. One came out of the woods with abrasions, and the police asked for an ambulance to evaluate the youth. Neighbors saw the youths and heard them breaking brush, as they bushwhacked through unfamiliar territory, and notified police, who went from house to house to attempt capture those fleeing and protect the nearby residents. The automobiles of those who fled were towed from the scene at a cost to the drivers, and one had a "hold" put on it. Many had parents pick them up, and still others called for an "escape vehicle," one that would take them from the neighborhood by stealthy means. Those who did make themselves known were released by police to their parents. |

CONVICTION OF SECOND CLINTON MAN CHARGED WITH SETTING FIRE TO HISTORICAL LANDMARK AND BARN
Defendant also Convicted of Setting Fire to Two Additional Structures in Western Massachusetts
BOSTON – A Worcester Superior Court jury returned guilty verdicts yesterday in the trial of a second Clinton man involved in setting fires to a historical landmark in Sterling, a barn in Holden, an abandoned paper factory in Erving (File photo/Google), and at a railroad bungalow in Florida, MA. John Rousseau, age 30, was found guilty of Burning a Building (4 counts), Breaking & Entering in the Nighttime with Intent to Commit a Felony, Malicious Destruction of Property over $250 and Malicious Injury to a Railroad.Rousseau’s co-defendant, Michael Dreslinksi, age 30, also of Clinton, was convicted by a Worcester Superior Court jury on October 20, 2009, in connection with his role in setting fires to the same buildings. Dreslinski was found guilty on the charges of Burning a Building (4 counts), Breaking & Entering in the Nighttime with Intent to Commit a Felony, Malicious Destruction of Property over $250 and Malicious Injury to a Railroad. Both defendants will be sentenced on November 23, 2009, in Worcester Superior Court by Judge John S. McCann at 10:00 a.m.According to authorities, on the night of July 29, 2007, Rousseau and Dreslinski drove to the Eastern entrance of the Hoosac tunnel in Florida, Massachusetts and broke into the radio bungalow shed of Boston & Maine Railroad. Once inside they vandalized the bungalow, destroying equipment and shutting off communication with the trains inside the tunnel. Before leaving, they set fire to the bungalow. Hours later, the two men went to the mill buildings which formerly housed the Usher Paper Plant in downtown Erving in Franklin County and set the vacant mill on fire. In the early morning hours of August 12, 2007, Rousseau and Dreslinski drove to the historic home of Mary Elizabeth Sawyer, author of the fabled nursery rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” located at 108 Maple Street in Sterling, Massachusetts, and set the vacant building on fire. The next day, on the morning of August 13, 2007, Rousseau and Dreslinski drove to Holden, Massachusetts and set fire to a barn located at 106 Bond Road. Investigations conducted by the State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit determined each fire to be deliberately and intentionally set, acts of arson. On August 19, 2007, at approximately 12:30 p.m., following an in-depth investigation, State Police assigned to the Attorney General’s Office with assistance from State Police assigned to the Fire and Explosion Unit and officers from the Clinton Police Department arrested Rousseau and Dreslinski in Lancaster without incident. The men were arraigned the next day in Orange District Court, at which time they entered a plea of not guilty and were ordered held without bail. On October 23, 2007, a Franklin Superior Court Grand Jury returned indictments against Rousseau and Dreslinski. On November 14, 2007, Rousseau and Dreslinski were arraigned in Franklin Superior Court in connection with the fires in Florida and Erving, at which time they entered pleas of not guilty and were ordered held without bail. A Worcester Superior Court Grand Jury returned indictments against Rousseau and Dreslinski on December 21, 2007. On February 19, 2008, Rousseau and Dreslinski were arraigned in Worcester Superior Court, where they entered pleas of not guilty and were ordered held without bail. The Worcester and Franklin county cases were combined for trial purposes. Rousseau’s trial began on October 29, 2009, and lasted four days. The jury deliberated for approximately four hours before returning guilty verdicts yesterday. This case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorneys General Eileen O’Brien, Senior Trial Counsel in the Attorney General’s Criminal Bureau and Matthew Shea, also of Attorney General Coakley’s Criminal Bureau. It was investigated by the Attorney General’s Office with assistance from the State’s Fire and Explosion Unit, the Commonwealth Fusion Center and police departments in the towns of Clinton, Sterling, Rutland and Holden, Erving and Boston & Maine Railways. |

Elders Need Help Shoveling and Cleaning Cars
We often tell ourselves we’d love to do something worthwhile for others, if only we knew what it was or if only we knew there was a need. Well, there’s an opportunity to help right here in Hopkinton during the winter months.
For some of our senior citizens living at the Hopkinton Housing Authority (subsidized housing for the elderly located on Davis Road, behind the Police Station), these are especially tough months. Many elderly residents have cars and rely on them to get out and about and wish to keep their cars on the road for as long as is safely possible. The parking at the Housing Authority is ample enough, it’s just that the parking spots are not covered. So, when a snowstorm is over and the road and walkways have been cleared, residents are required to clean off their vehicle and move it to a designated spot on the Housing Authority grounds so the parking areas can be plowed. Many of these residents do not have family in the area on whom they can call to perform this very exhausting task, especially if they’re in their 70’s or 80’s. It would be wonderful if we could have a name (family or individual) and tele number to give to each resident who needs assistance with cleaning off their vehicle to call upon to see if someone can come to give them a hand with this task. For a younger person, this might take 15 minutes to half an hour, depending on the size of the storm. For an elderly person, it might take 45 minutes or longer if they need to stop frequently for rests.
So, here’s your opportunity, fellow Hopkinton residents. Please contact me if you’d like to be one of the volunteers who can “do a good deed” right here in town this winter by helping our elderly residents at the Hopkinton Housing Authority in this manner. Believe me, they will be most appreciative. And here's a belated thanks to all those who volunteered last winter. Their information was lost in a computer crash. We will coordinate this effort and assign volunteers to a particular elder in need. Consider this the gift that keeps on giving! ~ Hopkinton Housing Authhority Board of Commissioners
Contact: Donna McGuire at 508-435-5542 or dmcguire44@verizon.netIf you cannot commit to an individual resident, perhaps you can help by driving to the HHA after a snowstorm to help clean off cars or shovel behind a vehicle so elderly residents can move their cars. Thank you! |
