Calling all bridging Hopkinton Junior, Cadette, Senior and Ambassador Girl scouts
(Left to Right): Mikayla Pucci, Allison Maffiore, Emma LaCascia, Madeline Maguire, Lauren Hamm and Elizabeth MacDonald.
by Nancy Alvarez Burdick March 30, 2011 — "By Girl Scouts for Girl Scouts" is the major focus of this year's Hopkinton Girl Scouts Marathon Tea event. The 2011 event planned to take place in Hopkinton at the First Congregational Church on Thursday, April 14th will focus specifically on scouts teaching and sharing with other scouts. The "Go the Distance" theme of this year's event highlights the Hopkinton created Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts (GSEM) earned "Go the Distance" patch program.
This will be the fourth year of the annual Hopkinton Girl Scouts Marathon Tea. Each of the preceding Teas focused on celebrating the sister-city relationship shared between Hopkinton, Massachusetts and Marathon, Greece. One major accomplishment of exploring the sister-city relationship was the development of a Council's Own earned Girl Scout patch. The Hopkinton Girl scout developed "Go the Distance" GSEM patch is now available for scouts worldwide to achieve. Focusing this year's Tea on the "Go the Distance" theme will allow Hopkinton scouts who have already earned the "Go the Distance" award to showcase the organization skills and creative and artistic accomplishments achieved en route to earning the patch. By sharing their discoveries, connections and actions they will educate and hopefully inspire other scouts to pursue completing this patch or develop a new project or patch of their own.
This year's
event is supported by the Hopkinton Athletic Association (HAA) and the
Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts (GSEM) and also supported in part
by a grant from the Hopkinton Cultural Council, a local agency which is
supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state
agency. With the additional grant support, the scouts will make
greater progress toward their goal of educating the Hopkinton scouts,
the rest of the 58,000 member GSEM scout council and the community about
the sport of marathoning and the long term goals that can be realized
when training for both physical and metaphorical marathons. Girl Scout leaders interested in registering their troops or scouts and parents from troops for the event are asked to contact Karen Bograd (ktbograd@gmail.com) or Nancy Burdick (nancyb88@hotmail.com). |

...and keep the Downtown alive.
by Robert Falcione There isn't time to answer all of the people who presume to know what I think, or what others think. I am not afraid of change, and to those who say I am, I refute thee thusly: HopNews.com. But I do believe that Downtown Hopkinton, and the entire town itself in a historical sense, could benefit by Center School remaining a school.
Don't tell me there's a heating issue at Center School, and that is a Drafty windows.
Classroom sizes.
Many can be enlarged. The load-bearing walls in Center School are made
of brick, but not all of them made of brick are load-bearing, if I
understand our Municipal Services correctly. Asbestos.
The stuff does not have to be removed unless it is disturbed. But if it
needs to be removed, do it in the summertime, when the kids aren't
there. Again, there are companies that make a living removing the stuff,
and they are
Don't tell me that the land slopes and nothing else can be built. Next Generation (2 Wood Street) was on a slope, and it is now a level lot. Ever see The Shoppes at Blackstone Valley? It is a slope on steroids. East Main Street is the same slope as the Center property, as are the homes on either side of said street. To the right is the GIS map of the area of Center School (Click here for full size) that includes the undeveloped parcel in the rear. Note the large area to the south of the driveway, too! The Center School land is outlined in red. Between the two parcels is a 100' strip owned by NSTAR. This presents nothing more than an opportunity to solve the problem. And if NSTAR won't give it up, then perhaps it can be spanned, much like the Star Market building over the Mass Pike. There is a solution to every excuse I have heard for not improving Center School. If it were abandoned by the School Department, the building would need a nearly equivalent rehab anyway, so why pay twice? The superintendent of schools has said a TOTAL REHAB for Center School is $18 million. That is not a "Band-aid" as some have called it. It is not a "wash" as one person called it with respect to the $23 million estimated town share of a new school at Fruit Street, as if the $5 million difference doesn't matter. Five million dollars can go a long way toward modular classrooms that could be used during a renovation.
Hopkinton needs to keep as many of its historical artifacts as possible.
The fires took nearly all of the factories, factories that brought so
many workers to Hopkinton in the mid-1800s, that the population grew by
the thousands. Not only the Downtown, but Woodville were the sites of
abundant factories, a history that can be seen in photos at the
Hopkinton Library, or in private collections. The heart of the Downtown will not beat as loudly without Center School being occupied by students. That part of our history should not be reduced to photographs on a shelf in a public or private collection. |

Fruit Street School Shot Down Yes:_895 No: 2,302 Ballot Question Committee leaders vow to work together
March 28, 2011 — Candidate for School Committee and leader of a ballot question committee opposed to the School Committee's ballot question for a new district school at Fruit Street, Glen Layton, and HPTA President Cindy Bernardo, who doubled as the proponent of a ballot question committee favoring the new school, spoke this evening about working together to find a solution to apparent needs to improve or replace Center School.

At approximately 7:25 a.m. KAREN MORLA RAMOS, 22, disembarked from arriving JetBlue flight 893. While being questioned at a Customs and Border Protection checkpoint, RAMOS provided conflicting answers about her travel, prompting officers to conduct a pat down search.
The pat down revealed a powdery substance concealed in a diaper-like garment RAMOS was wearing under her outer clothing. A field test of the substance was positive for cocaine. The total weight of the substance was slightly more than 1,000 grams.
Customs and Border Protection officers
placed RAMOS into custody. Members of a joint State Police-federal task

(Originally published May 22, 2005) Opinion/Commentary W-a-a-a-h-h-h! Why can't we be like Wellesley?
Just because. That's why! Now stop crying. Why can't we be like Wellesley? Let me count the ways. First of all, there's no room near the Hopkinton Public Library for a duck pond. Okay? Not okay? Alrighty then, how's this: There's no room anywhere downtown Hopkinton for a duck pond like there is in Wellesley. However, there is a duck pond at the Golden Pond, or as it is known to Townies, Ice House Pond. I suggest the goose, duck, great blue heron, and cormorant watchers go there instead of driving all the way to Wellesley. Or instead of the free duck pond in Wellesley, pony up some greenbacks and check out the Southwick Zoo in Mendon, two towns away, where the kids can walk in the deer enclosure and feed them if they're lucky. Or go to the Hopkinton State Park, where swimming, boating, hiking, fishing and photography are encouraged and practiced on a regular basis.
Wellesley also has almost twice the population of Hopkinton, so there are
more people to support the downtown, therefore more stores. Consider
an additional 3,000 young women who pay almost $30,000 annually to attend
Wellesley College, adding to the existing base of Babson College, also located in Wellesley, has over 2,700 total enrollment and charges over $55,000 annual tuition for graduate school. Not a bad demographic for businesses located in Wellesley. Massachusetts Bay Community College boasts another 4,994. Wellesley's college students number over two-thirds the entire population of Hopkinton, adding to Wellesley's commercial and retail base. Put into perspective, Wellesley has over 6,000 kids spending $30,000 a year each just for school. Should rich ice cream, fresh flowers, fine clothes or a fancy car be anything but necessities for those youngsters? That is potentially almost 10,000 veggie meals every lunchtime and a Starbucks concoction or a Ben and Jerry's treat aprčs dinner. And all that doesn't count the 9 private schools, including the well known Rivers School and the world renown Dana Hall, further adding to Wellesley's commercial and retail base. Some Hopkinton people who filled out the 2004 Master Plan survey wanted more restaurants downtown — you know, like in Wellesley, I guess. |

Hopkinton
Resident to Study at International Summer Dance
Program
HOPKINTON — Angela Cole, 17, a student of the Dancing Arts Academy of Holliston and a Hopkinton resident, has been accepted into the internationally recognized summer program at the North Carolina School for the Arts. This will be Angela’s second summer travelling from the Dancing Arts Center of Holliston to a prestigious dance program. In addition to the North Carolina School for the Arts, Angela was also accepted into internationally recognized dance programs at the Pittsburg Ballet Theater and the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. Under the advice of her dance director and master instructors at the Dancing Arts Center, Angela chose to attend the North Carolina School for the Arts because they have a year-round program that specializes in contemporary dance, Angela’s forte, to which she is a candidate. Angela began her dance training at the Dancing Arts Center when she was eight years old. For the past four years, Angela has been a student at the Dancing Arts Academy (day school for grades 4-12). ~ Contributed content. |

Second Board of Selectmen Candidate Frank D'Urso switches to Democrat designation
March 25, 2011 — Former Planning Board candidate and Conservation Commission member Frank D'Urso, shown above speaking at Special Town Meeting last Monday, has switched from unenrolled voting status to Democrat, which lets him get the nod of the Democratic party at its caucus in April. In addition, Mr. D'Urso has taken out nomination papers. One other candidate has thrown his hat in the ring for Selectmen, Republican Dick MacDonald, who ironically won the contested seat for the planning Board last year over Mr. D'Urso. |

17th Annual Student Government Breakfast
by Muriel Kramer
March 25, 2011 — The 17th
Annual Student Government Breakfast was held at
Hopkinton High School this morning with over 300
students and guests in attendance including US
Congressman James McGovern, State Senator Karen
Spilka and State Representative Carolyn Dykema. The Student Government project was developed and initiated by Hopkinton High School History teacher Nancy Clark with the help and support of then Board of Selectman Chairman Joe Strazzulla. According to Mrs. Clark, the project has definitely met and even exceeded my expectations…Part of the project is for students to give an oral presentation to the class explaining the roles and responsibilities of the committee they were assigned to, and over the years these have been enhanced with the use of exciting new technology. Most students are required to turn in a notebook as well, and I am always impressed with the thoroughness of their understanding and the sophistication of their analysis of the meetings and issues.
"I am proud that HHS is always complimented on the fact that this project and the breakfast are unique. I know of no other high school in the area that has this type of practical learning experience in government. There is a substantial amount of planning and organization necessary on the part of the history/government teachers (Brett Mulvey, Steve Simoes, and myself) and the Selectmen's Office (Thank God for Geri!) to implement the local government project and the student government week breakfast, but it is definitely rewarding to see how much the students learn from going to meetings and how positively they react to the speakers at the breakfast.”
Next year will be Mrs. Clark’s last year at the helm of the project, and the community surely owes her a huge debt of gratitude for the tremendous educational experiences she has helped make possible for thousands of students over her career.
Speaking to the students, Board of Selectman Chairman RJ Dourney spoke to the benefits of getting involved. “We are a democracy; we have a voice.” Continuing he said, “We have an obligation to find our place to serve.
Representative Dykema continued in the same vein with her message to students reflecting at being personally inspired by this event each year. “Our government is a very special thing where truly everyone has a voice.” She encouraged the students to be informed, and be involved. Most importantly register to vote. “Ask your parents to give you a voter registration form on your 18th birthday.”
As if on cue, State Senator reinforced the theme. “I am hoping this program spurs many of you to get involved. Take some time to volunteer.” She also encouraged the students to call her office and plan a trip to the State House to learn more about state government and possibly pursue internships there.
Student Mehr Kaur has found her passion working to support refugees entering the US each year and spoke about her experiences. She noted sources that claimed that “2009 was the worst year on record for human displacement.” Over 43 million people worldwide were displaced in 2009. She noted also that the US accepts about 70 thousand refugees every year, and she has found her place helping support those transitioning to life in the United States. She too encouraged her fellow students to get involved. “At last count there were 43 million great reasons to get involved!” |

School Committee Ponders Alternatives to Fruit Street Neighborhood School Another School Committee candidate emerges - yet another one changes status to D
March 24, 2011 — The School Committee met this
evening and exchanged ideas with the architect for
the Fruit Street Elementary School about scenarios
to bring to the Massachusetts School Building
Authority in the event the ballot question to fund
the override on Monday passes. If that happens, the
School Committee could bring the question to the May
Town Meeting voters, where they have a The school's architect was on hand this evening to offer insight as to possible reactions by the MSBA to changes in plans for the school. In one scenario, he talked of changing the projected school population, due to repurposing the Fruit Street school as a replacement for Center School, from 540 to 450 students. That, he said, would mean less money from the MSBA. But presumably that would also mean a lower cost to build.
In the meantime, the School Committee, according to
member Jean Bertschmann, is ready to meet Tuesday
following the election, with the Elementary School
Building Committee, the Board of Selectmen, and
representatives of both Ballot Question Committees
to review Monday's vote and determine what, if
anything, to propose to the MSBA by Thursday. The
letter, should it be submitted, will be signed by
Dr. Phelan and R.J. Dourney, said Mrs. Bertschmann
in an email. Also recently in the race is Beth Malloy (photo), who changed her unenrolled status to Democrat today. That gives her the ability to run in the Democratic caucus being held on April 8, 2011. |
