The learning commons concept of library design is at the forefront of academic innovation, and it is viewed as essential in order to provide students with the infrastructure necessary for the newest educational models to be completely implemented. It is a human-centered design based on the principles that today's students learn by collaborating and working cooperatively.” |

Senior Moments Clowning Around With Fashion
Nancy L. Drawe (Punky)
June 2, 2010 — And the Oscars go to…! Is it true? Have the Academy Awards come to Hopkinton? Not yet, but the Oscars for the Rummage Sale Fashion Show have! The theme for this 2nd annual show was “Trash and Treasures,” based on the type of clothing and accessories the models had bought at the rummage sale. This show tied into the rummage sale that had recently been held at the center. Anyone could participate, as long as they modeled something they bought at the sale. The criterion for this show was just having a lot of laughs, fun AND free strawberry shortcake for everybody.
For his second year, the Master of Ceremony for this great event was Dave Dobson, who sported an Ace of Spades costume and black tights. Contestants wore outfits that ranged from elegant to quite humorous!
Judi Allessio modeled her blue capris from “Talbots,” white sandals and pretty red sweater—perfect outfit for the summer.
Mary McLeod’s outfit was a black and white silk shirt that was quite elegant. An added touch was the lovely red rose she was carrying.
Sheila Currie wore a casual vest, blouse and pair of capris that were all purchased at bargain prices from the rummage sale.
The Happy Clown flip flopped up to the stage with her huge red clown shoes! It was hard to tell that it was Joyce Plucker who was under those large glasses, red nose, wig and clown outfit!
Barbara Pimental had a gorgeous jacket that she bought for an unbelievable price! |

Texting While Driving? This was the setup to the HopNews daylight poll to the right: Last October, President Obama put the kibosh on texting while driving for 4.5 million federal workers. And now, municipalities are getting into the act. Anyone who has ever tried it knows that it is extremely dangerous to text and drive. People are all over the road, from one side to the other, trying to do the impossible. The graphic shows the final outcome of the poll, which is nearly unanimous that people want texting while driving banned. |

Dear friends and neighbors,
I find it hard asking someone to make a donation. I guess we all do. But, today I am writing to you about a cause that is important to me and a cause I know you will want to support. I have decided to take steps in the fight against multiple sclerosis (MS) by joining the 2010 Bike MS Ride, for the second year in a row, and I am asking you to join me in this important fight by sponsoring me.
MS is an unpredictable and devastating disease that can attack any of us in the prime of life. Imagine, one day you are ready to take on the world, and the next you are faced with the diagnosis of an incurable and potentially debilitating disease. That is why I am participating in the 2010 Bike MS Ride and asking you to help me in my quest. Learn more and/or donate. Michael Albertian |

Congratulations Hopkinton Editor:
Congratulations Hopkinton! Governor Deval Patrick recently recognized Hopkinton as receiving one of the state’s coveted title as a “Green Community” enabling the town to receive future energy efficiency grants from an annual fund from the state.
Receiving this title was no easy feat! Thank you to the Sustainable Green Committee for organizing the steps and producing the documents required for the application for the designation! A big thank you to the department heads and volunteers who did their jobs well to highlight and push this opportunity to the forefront of so many issues facing the town. Also, without the support of the community who came out to vote for the two items on the town warrant required for this designation, Hopkinton would not have made the short list of 35 towns in Massachusetts.
With $8.1 million from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, communities across the state will be required to show energy efficiency projects in detailed reports to be submitted shortly, to be considered for a portion of those funds. Fortunately, Hopkinton has much of that research completed by third party vendors because of the town’s focus on energy efficiency as noticed by Gov. Patrick as he toured the solar panel topped municipal buildings here.
Congratulations Hopkinton! Not only is there pride in being a community member of a forward thinking town, we have received the accolades from our State Rep. Carolyn Dykema and Governor Patrick as well! Good luck in the next steps as a “Green Community.”

TORAH EXPLORERS SUMMER PROGRAM OPEN HOUSE AT TEMPLE BETH TORAH
HOLLISTON, Mass. (May, 2010) – Temple Beth Torah (2162 Washington Street, Holliston) will be holding an open house on Mon, June 14 and Wed, June 16 from 9:00-10:00 am to allow young families in the community to experience their Torah Explorers summer program. The open house will provide parents and children the opportunity to meet some of the program’s staff, see the facilities, and participate in some of the program’s activities first hand.
Torah Explorers offers one class for 2-3 year olds and one for 4-5 year olds; projects and activities are tailored to the children’s ages and abilities. Both classes will meet 9:00 am to noon on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the months of July and August. The preschool class also has extended day available until 2:00 pm. The program’s flex option allows parents to sign up for just those class days they want, making it easy to work around vacation and other schedules. Spots are still available for almost all class days this summer.
Torah Explorers is structured around a cohesive summer-long theme that is brought to life through songs, stories, games, arts and crafts, Hebrew vocabulary, pretend play and more. The theme for summer of 2010 is “Jews Around the World”. Teachers will take the children on an exploration of 18 countries, allowing them to experience the different foods, Jewish traditions and culture in each. Combined with the learning component are many opportunities for indoor and outdoor play, making new friends, and interacting in a group dynamic. Temple membership is NOT required to participate and all interested families are encouraged to apply.
For more information and registration materials, visit the Temple Beth Torah website at www.bethtorah.org , or email Stacey David, Early Childhood Chair, at staceydavid@yahoo.com .
Conveniently located on Rte. 16 in Holliston near the Milford line, Temple Beth Torah is a conservative synagogue attracting members from Holliston, Ashland, Milford, Medway, Millis, Hopkinton, Franklin and other nearby communities. |
