Please bear with us as we redesign and add new features, while maintaining the same low cost to HopNews sponsors and the free nature of HopNews content to readers. One change that may need further explanation is the Hopkinton News Calendar, the link is behind the button to the left of the title of this frame, and to the right of the HopNews.com masthead above, where it will remain for now. The button now blinks to get the readers' attention to the new location. Previously, the calendar went through several changes, the last of which was to display it in a frame that displayed within a cell here on the front. The calendar was scrollable up and down so the reader could see more than just the day's events. Another feature we presented in an enclosed frame was crime from around the county and state. Both of those features been have altered because they did not stay within their frames in the mobile devices that readers often use, but instead displayed fully, causing slower downloads.
HopNews will go back to putting interesting criminal stories into the body of the front page as was done in the past. And the calendar will be redesigned as the entire site gets a makeover around the first of the year. It will ooze with more fun stuff.
But for now, in order to bring attention to the sole location of the Hopkinton Calendar link, we have made it blink. We spend a lot of time keeping it up-to-date, so keep on sending those calendar items, and we'll keep putting them up. |

Camera Shy
November 26, 2010 — The approaching snapping of twigs underfoot drew the attention of gaggles of Canada geese Thanksgiving afternoon on Hopkinton Reservoir. As the photographer got closer, the more frightened of the geese fled the water, and the birch tree on the opposite shore mocked their fear with exaggerated mimicry. |

Selectmen Meeting Legacy Farms Seeks Modification to Agreement with Town FD appoints new Lieutenant
by Muriel Kramer
November 24, 2010 — The Board of Selectmen
formally recognized newly appointed Fire Lieutenant Scott Jurasek; Fire
Chief Ken Clark recounted that Lt.
The owners of Bill’s Pizza, Christos and Maria Siarkos, were before the Board to request an update to their liquor license to accommodate the changes made to the premises in the recent remodeling project; the license will also allow alcoholic beverages on the patio. The patio is accessible only from inside the building and offers staff in the restaurant great visibility to ensure adequate control over the area intended to prevent problems with underage drinking onsite. Police Chief Rick Flannery supported the application agreeing that the owners have taken adequate steps to prevent underage drinkers from gaining access to alcoholic beverages served at the restaurant. The Board approved application.
Budget Update: Hopkinton Town Manager Norman Khumalo presented an update on the budget process reinforcing that he has made it clear to the Department Heads that the FY 12 budget process will be fiscally responsible and that it will continue to be important to identify efficiencies, cost containment initiatives and revenue enhancements. The Department Heads have been directed to level fund all FY 12 expenses at FY 11 levels, identify all incremental contractual labor costs and to identify all mission critical and strategic initiatives.
Budget worksheets asking for detailed expense information from all departments to include travel expenses and facility maintenance costs have been distributed; that input is due back to the Town Manager December 30th with the Board of Selectmen expecting to have a work session on the budget process soon thereafter.
Legacy Farms Update: Developer Roy MacDowell has requested modifications to the Host Community Agreement (HCA); the proposal includes increasing the percentage of one-bedroom units, decreasing the percentage of two-bedroom units and eliminating altogether the three-bedroom units in the rental component of the proposed development. Community Opportunities Group was asked to address several questions including the social & economic impact, fiscal impact, housing policy and trade-offs.
From their report to the Selectmen, “…the Town should assume an average revenue deficit of -$29,000 per year, in current dollars, and plan accordingly.” Nevertheless, they recommend amending the agreement to allow the revised project component to go forward. “A site with activity underway sends an optimistic message to prospective investors and development partners. It suggests opportunity and helps to decrease concerns about risk. By contrast, a permitted site with no activity suggests problems and could make it far more difficult for Roy MacDowell to attract high-quality developers to Legacy Farms.” COG recommends approval with several conditions to protect the Town’s interests; the Board will address the proposed modifications to the HCA at their next meeting.
Update on the proposed new Elementary School at Fruit Street: The Board met last week to tour Center School with the School Committee and the Elementary School Building Committee; the tour and discussions led to the Selectmen individually to generate a list of questions they hope to discuss further at an upcoming work session tentatively planned for November 30th. Questions include “If the town continues with the neighborhood school proposal, are there renovations that will be necessary to other buildings? If so, please explain what they are, if they are mandatory (deemed by which governing body), how much time we have to comply and estimated cost.”; “With this design, are we projected to make it through the increase in students anticipated from Legacy Farms without any further additions to this or other school buildings?”; and “Since 2008 has Center School been in threat of losing its accreditation? If so, what exactly were the findings?”
Proposed new Economic Development Committee: Mr. Khumalo outlined some direction for the soon to be newly reformed and reformatted Economic Development Committee. The committee should focus on working with the existing businesses in town and what Hopkinton can do to support them. The responsibilities would include developing marketing initiatives targeting existing businesses, conducting outreach to existing businesses to identify needs and ensure growth as well as retention as well as identifying companies that might want to relocate and establish themselves here in Hopkinton. The largest question remaining is governance over the new committee. The Board is considering using the Chamber of Commerce and the business stakeholders in town to populate the new committee and re-energize its focus. The Selectmen support the direction the effort to reform the committee is heading. John Mosher commented, “I like the non-town committee process to afford greater flexibility and confidentiality, but we have to be careful to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.” The Board will discuss this further at a future meeting to finalize the structure after Mr. Khumalo consults with the Town Attorney. |

Organization Gets Second Wind November 23, 2010 — Several volunteers, led by newly elected President Di Collins, have breathed new life into the marketing efforts of the Hopkinton Education Foundation; efforts they hope will end confusion over who they are and what they do. Their public face got a facelift with the retirement of the "granite" columns that have been their trademark for years, in favor of a bold, new and colorful logo by Hopkinton designer, Jenny Hart. The design impresses the viewer with a tree that has a strong trunk, representing the strength of a foundation in education. Weighted near the center of the tree, and surrounded by educational representations, is a light bulb that the group says represents the innovation that the Hopkinton Education Foundation advances, as seen in their new slogan at the base. The words in the logo show a diminished "Hopkinton" to bring forward the rest of the group's name to promote the "Education" part.
What have they done so far? A lot!
Since their beginnings in 1992, the educational gifts to the schools have grown from the then impressive nearly $11,000 to almost $84,000 in educational grants to Hopkinton schools and teachers' classrooms in 2010. This year, to highlight one effort, they have put $9,656 into transforming the Middle School Library into a "Twenty-first Century Learning center," according to Mrs. Collins. Earlier this year, HopNews Video covered the use of SmartBoards at Elmwood School, awarded through a grant by the foundation, that allow interaction and instant answering as well as internet access. See the video to the left. How does the foundation raise the funds to enable these gifts?
This year's Gala — $90 per person — will be held on Saturday, February 5, 2011 at the Lakeview Pavilion in Foxborough, MA. Learn more here. But marking next year's calendar will not do anyone any good unless a person first has tickets, because the tickets will sell out within hours of going on sale. So, mark this date: HEF Winter Gala "Oh, The Heights We Can Grow" ticket sales on Saturday, December 4, 2010 from 9:00 am - 11:00 am @ Hopkinton High School Lobby. |

Thanksgiving-Friendly Wines
Matching wine with roast turkey is easy; the wine-matching challenge comes with the wide array of traditional side dishes. Any single wine confronts a very tough task, indeed, when asked to harmonize with everything from subtle turkey breast to rich stuffing to acidic cranberries to sweet, candied yams. Successful wines are those with exceptional fruit character; wines that are lively and uncomplicated. With that in mind, this month we will sample wines that could easily find a place at the Thanksgiving feast. |

The Massachusetts State Police are urging motorists to be safe on the roads of the Commonwealth this holiday season.
The following holiday driving safety tips are recommended for safe travel: § Plan on needing extra time to get to your final destination. § Make sure all vehicle occupants wear their safety belt. § Leave the proper amount of space between your car and the car in front of you. (One car length for every ten miles per hour). § Adjust your speed to road, weather and traffic conditions. § Plan regularly scheduled breaks when traveling long distances. § Have your car serviced before undertaking a lengthy trip.
§
Be prepared should your car become
disabled. Have the proper emergency equipment with you. For example:
spare tire, lug wrench, jack, flashlight, road flares or other
illuminating devices, warm clothing as temperatures can dip well below
freezing at this time of year. A cell phone is also invaluable in
emergencies. You can reach the police and in turn all other emergency
services in § Don’t drink and drive. If you plan on celebrating with alcohol, plan on staying over or plan on having a designated driver. |

We encourage those who are not our facebook fans to sign up to become one. The last time HopNews had a recruitment drive, earlier this year, one lucky fan won a $100 gift certificate to the Marathon Restaurant at North Pond (See video). Austin printed the fan list, cut each fan listing individually, put them in a basket, and with the help of Michael Tobins from the Marathon Restaurant, drew the name of a HopNews facebook fan, Lois Hemmelgarn.
Being a fan means getting important news immediately. It doesn't mean that we do it every day, like the banner says. That was wishful thinking. In fact, we have had only five updates since July of this year: 50% off at the jewelers, a drowning, the President live on HopNews, robbers on the run, as well as content that yours truly thought was compelling or special. The same news is available on the front of HopNews, but some people get facebook alerts from their mobile devices.
So, if you are not signed up, please do so now to get into the pool of possible winners of the equivalent of a $100 gift certificate from one of our sponsors. The current 437 fans will also go into the basket for the drawing that we will conduct when the fan base reaches 700. Spread the word. |

From the Radical Middle... Don't Touch My Junk! — Or my titanium elbow by Robert Falcione November 23, 2010 — If I were to fly, and I may do that again someday — maybe! — then I would, without hesitation, submit to the total body scan that is being so generously offered by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at better airports across the country.
To refuse the body scanner in order to slow down the airport security, especially during the holiday travel as some have suggested, would border on infantile behavior — or behavior expected of the enemy. And if the scanner reveals something that needs to be scrutinized, like a bagful of bile, or a titanium elbow, then people should act like grownups and submit to a body search. Who doesn't remember the failed attempt by one of the enemy that was uncovered when plastic explosives packed into the human robot's undergarments partially ignited on the airplane? What about the guy who was stopped by passengers from successfully lighting his shoes with a match, shoes that were packed with explosives? Security needs to see, or feel, if there is any plastique in your Jockeys, Bostonians, Gucci, Prada or covered body parts. They have to be thorough, because human bombs look like normal people, like you and me. The enemy has vowed to bring this nation down; and they are attempting to do so in unconventional and cunning ways. No, their Ingenuity can't build beautiful and graceful airplanes or incredible buildings; it can only make devices that attack modernity itself and destroy the physical and intellectual inventions that the best of the Western world has created. They have put bombs in shoes and underwear, and boarded flights to kill themselves and their fellow passengers. They are told that if they blow themselves up and take down those around them, the Creator has a special place for them. He doesn't. He (or She) does not reward murder OR suicide. I am pretty sure about that. In fact, I am pretty sure — although a few people would argue with this — that He doesn't take sides in sporting events, either. Furthermore, I am convinced by empirical evidence that He doesn't help people with instant lottery tickets. But as with any crime — and it is a crime to mess with airport security —a thoughtful person needs to ask, "Cui bono?" Who benefits? The enemies of our nation will benefit the most from a relaxation of our airport and transportation security, which many misguided people are tacitly encouraging. I also have a gripe with the TSA and the media. They need to stop giving out the parameters of the bodily searches, like at what age a person is exempt from a physical search. That is sheer stupidity. Our enemies will start loading up their kids with C-4 as a result of that foolish revelation. It would be in the best interest of the traveling public if the TSA amended that rule immediately (Note to TSA: Stop publicizing your procedures and limits. I get nauseous when I hear you do that. Security organizations are supposed to have secrets. Keep a few to yourself. Katie Couric doesn't need to know. Tell her I said so. Oh, and stop the close-ups of the genital areas that show where agents do not touch. More nausea.). My theory about foreign enemy influence? Again, they are the ones to benefit the most. It wasn't the Red Cross that made sure there was an ample supply of heroin in Vietnam when American troops were there, and I doubt they are involved in this protest, either. So, I would recommend to anyone who wants to help move the security process along, to take the full body scan. And if the agent wants you to drop your draws and touch your toes, do it. Don't worry about him enjoying it. If he enjoyed it, to borrow from Lenny Bruce, they wouldn't let him work there. As I said earlier, I may fly again, but the more I think about it, the more I doubt that I will. And it has nothing to do with the thought of being x-rayed, or groped, or having my titanium elbow inspected. It has to do with my comfort zone, which is very near to the ground. And of course, the lack of a drive-thru. |

Suspect Believed to be Among the Dead LYNNFIELD - November 24, 2010 — Numerous State Police units and Lynnfield Police are on scene of a triple-fatal incident on Ledge Road in Lynnfield. PLEASE NOTE that there is not an active search ongoing for a suspect. We were mobilizing for what would have been a significant manhunt for a shooting suspect involving our Air Wing, K9 troopers and ground units, but at this point the evidence suggests that the suspect is not at large. Evidence suggests the suspect is among the deceased. State troopers assigned to the Essex County District Attorney's Office are on scene and will lead the homicide investigation from this point on. All information about the details of the homicides will come from the DA's office, ~ State Police |

MLK Day of Giving Back January 17, 2011 from 9:00am to noon
Hopkinton Middle School
As we prepare for
Thanksgiving, we take pride in the spirit of community that is so
much a part of the fabric of Hopkinton. We see it every year
during events like the Horribles’ Parade, Michael’s Run and the
Relay for Life. We can also see that same spirit at the annual
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Giving Back. Planning is underway for the fourth annual celebration of Dr. King’s legacy, scheduled for January 17, 2011 from 9:00am to noon at the Hopkinton Middle School. Sarah Varadian founder of the Wee Care organization will be the featured speaker . Varadian, a native of Norwood MA, started this project to raise money to provide access to education for girls in Afghanistan. She received the 2007 William R. Sims Award for Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy and her message is sure to inspire.
The event, sponsored by the town’s Youth Commission, is run by a dedicated group of volunteers. There are always opportunities for more people to become involved; if you are interested, or need information, please contact :MLKHopkinton@comcast.net . Find us on Facebook at “MLK Day of Giving Back, Hopkinton MA” - Anne Mattina |

Alien Expose Ch. II The Moon, Treetop Decoration, or Alien Fruit? Mouse-over image to see alien fruit
November 20, 2010 — As we saw earlier (Scroll down for Alien Expose Ch. I), Colella's Market has indeed put a fence around their rooftop HVAC unit where an alien was sighted on Halloween. Although the fence was suggested by the Planning Board, its construction, shortly after the sighting of the alien creature sitting on it, is sure to draw suspicion. Then late this afternoon the photographer was exiting his vehicle when it appeared the moon was lined up as if it were disguising itself as a treetop decoration. Does it have something to do with the alien trapped behind the fence? Is it summoning another ship, a rescue vehicle? We all know what the Moon looks like, but only a few have seen it close up. Is this another Roswell-like cover up? Mouse-over this image to see the glowing object close up, and if it looks like a melon missing the stem that connects it to the vine, and that it could be easily quartered to share on a Thanksgiving table, then the only possible answer is, "Yes, it has been alien fruit all along!" Bon appétit, aliens! |

attending and excelling at the Massachusetts Fire Academy in May of that
year. According to Chief Clark, Lt. Jurasek “has made his way up through
the ranks and works hard.” On hand to celebrate Lt. Jurasek’s
achievement were his wife Liz and daughters Kate and Emily as well as
much of the Hopkinton Fire Department. Joe Jurasek, a career firefighter
from Salem, was on hand to formally pin on his brother Scott’s new rank.
LIVE
NATIVITY
Many people have expressed outrage on the television sets and other
electronic media, that they have been groped by TSA agents after
refusing a full body x-ray scan; or after setting off red flags due to a
physical accessory or deformity; then being forced to submit to the scan
as a condition of being allowed to board the graceful flying machine
that awaits them. Some people, who have not experienced the influence of
a foreign power over US media in their lifetimes — hold that
thought — are calling for a boycott of the scanner and insisting on a
physical search in order to slow down the airplane boarding procedures. This they
claim is a protest borne of a higher moral sensitivity. Pishaw! They're
just looking for attention, intentionally trying to mess things up, or
too young to understand the consequences.
