Hopkinton, MA – 05 January 2010 - The Town
of Hopkinton has contracted with Emergency Communications Network to
license its CodeRED high-speed notification solution. The CodeRED system
provides Hopkinton officials the ability to quickly deliver messages to
targeted areas or the entire town.
Fire Chief Ken
Clark, Hopkinton’s Emergency Management Director, cautioned that such
systems are only as good as the telephone number database supporting
them. "If your phone number is not in the database, you will not be
called." One of the reasons the CodeRED system was selected is it gives
individuals and businesses the ability to add their own phone numbers
directly into the system's database; this is an extremely important
feature.
“No one should
automatically assume his or her phone number is included,” Chief Clark
said urging all individuals and businesses to click on the graphic and
follow the link to the "CodeRED Community Notification Enrollment" page.
Those without Internet access may call the Hopkinton Fire Department at
(508)-435-0555 or fax your information to (508)435-0554, Monday through
Friday, (8AM – 3:30PM)to supply their information over the
phone. Required information includes first and last name, street address
(physical address, no P.O. boxes), city, state, zip code, and primary
phone number, additional phone numbers can be entered as well.
All businesses
should register, as well as all individuals who have unlisted phone
numbers, those who have changed their phone number or address within the
past year, and those who use a cellular phone or VoIP phone as their
primary number.
Chief Clark
explained, "CodeRED allows geographically based delivery, which means
street addresses are required to ensure emergency notification calls are
received by the proper individuals in a given situation. The system
works for cell phones too, but we need to have an associated street
address to provide relevant messages."
Chief Clark
stated, "CodeRED gives those who want to be included an easy and secure
method for inputting information. The data collected will only be used
for emergency notification purposes." Questions should be directed to
Chief Clark at 508-497-2325.
Although the voice
messages provided through the system are a fast and effective way to
provide notice. We encourage you to also complete the e-mail option to
provide additional notification.

Planning Board Approves Minor Site Plan Review for Colella's Expansion
Accepts
Downtown parking study
January 5, 2010— Among several items on the Planning Board's plate on
Monday evening was a review of the exterior changes Colella's
Supermarket will be making during their expansion into the former Strata
Bank space that became available following its purchase and closure by
Middlesex Savings Bank.
Company CEO Dale Danahy explained that on the interior wall behind the
facade of the Main Street side of the building will be a wall of frozen
food cases, and that the existing door replaced with suitable material.
The front door will be moved to where the former Strata Bank front door
was.
The Board approved the changes.
Downtown Parking
Member Joe Markey, liaison to Downtown Revitalization Committee, said he
would be memorializing the input of people from over several years regarding
changes to parking Downtown, and being sure that it was given to the
Conway School of Landscape Design, which will begin a study of the
Downtown landscaping and traffic this month. The Parks and Recreation
Commission, as well as some members of the business community, gave a
total of $6,000 to pay for the study.
On a related note, they accepted the conclusions of the study they did
of Downtown Parking, which stated in a nutshell, "There appears to be
sufficient parking for the current uses and buildings within the
Downtown area at this time."
Legacy Farms
The Planning Board and Legacy Farms representatives got hung up for
longer than they had planned, because of differences between the town's
engineer and Legacy's proposed street angle limit.
Legacy proposed a 12% grade in one instance, while the town's engineer
recommended a 9% grade.
The Board recommended that they get together and resolve all points of
disagreements that they could.
"And then bring it back to us, and we will be the arbiters," said
Chairman Mark Abate.

Fugitive
Manson Brown Captured in Georgia
January
4, 2010 — Escaped
fugitive MANSON BROWN was taken into custody late last night in DeKalb County, Georgia.
BROWN, 51, was apprehended by
DeKalbCounty police officers after they received information
that a man wanted in Massachusetts was at a gas station at
approximately 11:15 p.m. Sunday. BROWN allegedly provided an alias to
the officers. The false name allegedly used by BROWN had been identified
by the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section
as an alias that BROWN may try to use, and was listed on the warrant for
his arrest. Armed with information, DeKalb police charged BROWN with
using a false name and took him into custody.
BROWN escaped from the
OldColonyMinimumCorrectionCenter on Nov. 27, 2009. Since that time,
investigators from the Massachusetts State Police, Department of
Correction and
United States Marshals
Service have conducted an intensive search for him in Massachusetts and several
other states.
“The State Police fugitive unit, along with
its partners in law enforcement, has worked tirelessly to find this
dangerous fugitive since his escape,” said Colonel Marian J. McGovern,
superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police.
BROWN was serving a sentence for home
invasion and armed robbery. He was recently indicted by the Middlesex
County District Attorney’s Office for a 1996 rape in Cambridge and for being a
habitual offender.
“I am pleased to learn that Manson Brown has
been apprehended without incident and is in custody in
Georgia. Mr. Brown will be returned
to the custody of the Massachusetts Department of Correction,” said
Massachusetts Department of Correction Commissioner Harold W. Clarke.
Plans are underway by authorities in Massachusetts to rendite BROWN to answer to
charges related to his escape and the 1996 rape.
“Manson Brown is a dangerous, career
criminal who will now face the very serious charges that we have
indicted him for,” District Attorney Leone said. “We remain ready to
prosecute Manson Brown on the habitual offender and rape charges we
indicted him on and Brown will now face additional charges for escape
due to the commendable work of the Massachusetts State Police Violent
Fugitive Apprehension Section and members of the DOC Criminal
Investigations Division in apprehending him.”

Colella's
catches 6 liquor thieves in December alone
Above, a photo of a TV screen shot from one of many surveillance cameras
trained on the liquor department in Colella's. In addition to the liquor
department, the supermarket has cameras throughout the store.
by
Robert Falcione
January 4, 2010 — Lamenting that it was some of their own customers who have ripped them
off — at least the six who were caught in December alone — the owners of
Colella's Supermarket,
a 65 year-old family business, want to make it clear that they have adopted a zero-tolerance
policy.
"You steal, we will prosecute," is the theme that the owners and
managers repeated in an interview last week. They did not identify
anyone, because their aim is not to embarrass people, but to see that
justice is done and to deter anyone who would consider shoplifting by
letting them know they will be caught, and they will be prosecuted.
Sandy (Colella) Varnum said, "They'll pay for a high-priced lawyer
instead of paying for the alcohol. Some are still in he prosecution
stage, and we want to see justice done.
"Eric [Madson] does inventory every day, and knows when something is
missing. So, if we don't see them walk out the door with it that day,
which we often do, Eric rewinds the tape and watches the culprit taking the missing bottle," she said.
"Diane [(Colella) McGrath] goes around and shows the photo to employees,
and in every case, someone knows who the person is," he said.
Mrs. Varnum said, "When we discover a theft has happened, everybody gets
involved, employees and customers.
"Nick [Danahy, family member] almost tackled one guy in the parking lot.
"One guy came in on a bicycle, got caught stealing liquor, and begged
for us not turn him in," she said. "We felt so bad."
"It hasn't been the kids lately, it has been regular adult customers."
"These people take the liquor and a candy bar and walk through the
store, and by the time they reach the register, the liquor is nowhere in
sight, and they end up paying for the candy bar. They are known to the
employees and the community," said Marketing Director, Jen Shults.
Mrs. Varnum said, "It isn't the kids — the word of our policy has spread
among them — it is the well-dressed people with expensive clothes and
cars. One woman made a dash toward her BMW SUV."
"One woman who stole expensive vodka, bought some small canned goods.
But while she browsed the aisles, she also helped herself to some cherry
tomatoes, a banana and an apple," said Mrs.. Varnum.
"These are professional, white collar people who know how to steal," said Mrs. Shults.
"And they aren't strangers, they are people in the community."
Mrs. McGrath said, "One guy came in like clockwork, so we waited for
him."
General Manger Dale (Colella) Danahy summed it up.
"Theft increases the cost of doing business.
"We paid $100,000 in debit and credit card fees alone last year," she
said.
Her sister Diane added, "We try very hard to keep prices down."

Odor on East Main, Clinton Street, Phipps Street,
Frankland Road, Wilson Street NOT natural
gas - it is the odor chemical itself.
January 2, 2010 —
At 5:35 pm Hopkinton Police received a report of a very strong odor of
natural gas on Frankland Road, which is downhill from the natural gas
facility on Wilson Street. After driving as far as Clinton Street, a
police sergeant reported it to be widespread.
While
police and fire investigated, Air Products, which is one of the
companies that has a role in the natural gas handling in that facility,
phoned police to report that there was a leak of the chemical that they
add to natural gas so that humans can smell it, but that there was no
gas leaking. Natural gas in its untouched state is odorless.

Senior Center is Not Just for Seniors
Senior
Newsletter (left) is always above
A Note From The Director’s
Desk:
It seems each year goes faster
and faster. I can’t believe we have been in the new Senior Center more
than three years. It has been a blessing to so many.
If you haven’t stopped in or
made use of our programs and services, we encourage you to give it a
try. We have much to offer. You can exercise both your mind and body,
fill your heart with newly made friends and fill your belly with
wonderful home cooked lunches.
You will find Hopkinton’s
Senior Center is welcoming to all and not one bit cliquish. There are
people of all ages. Spread the word - you don’t need to be a senior to
come in or join a program as long as space allows. We’ve not run into a
problem accommodating anyone yet. You may see children with their
grandparents or teenagers volunteering as wait staff. We often hear
folks don’t think they’re old enough to come here. The staff is starting
to understand that reasoning; most of us are seniors now ourselves. But
knowing what we know, you will find us enjoying the senior center when
retirement strikes.
Happy New Year to all and
here’s hoping it’s filled with good health and good friends.

Did Someone Resolve to Quit
Smoking
as a New Year's Resolution?
If so, how have the past 15 hours been?
HopNews will pay one person
to quit
by
Robert Falcione
January
1, 2010 - 3:00 p.m. — Yefim Shubentsov, often referred to as "The
Russian" or "The Mad Russian," has helped thousands of people quit
smoking with a treatment he guarantees will work, or the subject may see
him again at no extra charge — for life.
This writer, following a visit with him many years ago after hearing
testimonials from friends, left his treatment without the urge to
smoke after trying to quit for years. As many smokers know, there are a
multitude of reasons (excuses) for not quitting, among them is the
greatest one, procrastination.
"I am going to quit tomorrow," is a favorite of many smokers.
Then why are you going out at midnight to buy more?
"Because, by 'tomorrow' I mean 'tomorrow when I get up'." So much for
that good intention.
"I am going to quit for New Year's."
Well, how have the last 15 hours been?
"I am going to cut down first to avoid the withdrawal. I will begin by
limiting myself to 1 cigarette per hour."
I have two things to say:
Sure you are. How is that pipe dream — pun intended — working out?
Secondly, what withdrawal?
Please correct me if I am wrong on this, but the addictive part of
nicotine affects the brain. There are behavioral things that go along
with quitting, such as people wondering why they feel like they
are forgetting to take something with them when they put their keys in
their pockets to leave the house. Some people become irritable; and many
eat more food, as a way to fulfill the oral craving that cigarettes had
previously satisfied. Some people don't know what to do with their
hands. But never has anyone reported throwing up or getting a fever
after quitting. If they did, it was coincidental.
The addiction comes from nicotine telling the brain that the smoker is
doing a good thing. Outside of twelve step programs everywhere, people
who have kicked heroin, cocaine and alcohol, gather for a smoke. It is
by far, one of the most addictive substances on the planet. Smokers
everywhere can attest to that. There's much more.
The nicotine in cigarettes coats the red blood corpuscles, restricting
their ability to absorb oxygen, and making the body believe it needs to
increase the heart rate, as well as produce more blood. It can actually
burn out the blood-producing organs and cause hardening of the arteries
and blood clots, according to the American Heart Association. Secondary
Polycythemia Vera is a cancer of the blood that can be caused by
smoking, due to the body's overproduction of red blood cells resulting
from the lack of oxygen.
Is there anyone who has not heard of some lung cancers being caused by
smoking? No need to pursue that discussion.
For people who sincerely would like to quit, I recommend Yefim
Shubentsov. His card is displayed above at no charge, because it is a
public service to testify to the positive results he achieves.
Right-mouse click and choose to print. Then put it on the fridge as a
reminder to call for an appointment at the next opportunity.
CONTEST
And for those who really want to quit, but would like someone else to
pay, please send an email to
Editor@HopNews.com
detailing why you think it is important for
you to quit smoking, and what steps you have taken so far. HopNews will
pick the best one and cut a check to Yefim Shubentsov for the winner's
treatment. We need at least 10 emails for the contest.
The winner must go to the session alone. The only failures I have heard
of are those who tie their fortunes together by going with another
person and reporting their progress in frequent intervals to that
person. Quitting is personal.
And for those who do not care to write an essay, but would still like to
quit smoking, please make a record of the name and number above and give
his office a call.
