November 1,
2011 — Speaking to Selectmen this evening, Fire Chief Ken Clark
asked residents to dial 911 for any downed wires, and noted that 361
residents were still without power as he spoke. He also urged residents
to sign up for
CodeRed alerts on their cell phones, because even without
electric power, they can take the car out of the driveway and charge
their cell phone batteries.
Chair off the 300th Anniversary Celebration Committee, Anne Mattina
(photo), unveiled the motto for the celebration in 2015,
"Celebrating Our past, Embracing Today, and Inspiring Our Future." She
said the celebration will take place during the entire year, culminating
on December 13, 2015, 300 years to the day after the Town of Hopkinton
was incorporated.
School Committee Member Troy Mick and Parks and Recreation
Chair Ken Driscoll appeared to let the Selectmen know they are working
together so both organizations can plan coordinated uses and maintenance
plans for recreational fields.
Chief of Police Rick Flannery stopped by to request the Selectmen
ban hunting and shooting on the town owned Fruit Street property because
of the proximity of the new athletic fields and the limited space for
that activity. They voted to ban the activities and post signs noting
the ban. Chief Flannery made it clear he was interested in the ban and
signage as an educational and informative initiative, and that he would
see enforcement as a last resort.
Parks and Recreation Commission member Brian O'Keefe, with Chair
Ken Driscoll, presented the results of the department's survey asking
participants what they liked or didn't like about what the department is
doing, as well as their wants for future recreational facilities. A
community pool topped the wish list, with a hockey rink a close second.
The department got overall thumbs up for their efforts with very little
dissatisfaction.
The Department has forged a draft agreement with Demons Hockey in mind to take
over part or all of the 19 acres of land given to the town by Legacy Farms.
They will invest in a
hockey rink on that East Main Street land to the tune of $7 million if
given the chance.
There will be a Public Hearing on the use of the land on the second
floor of Town hall on November 19th at 7:00 pm.
Chairman of the Board of Selectmen Todd Cestari said he heard there was
a direct link from the Demons Hockey web site to the survey, and asked
if their was a way to track IP addresses of the participants. There were
also surveys returned from a newspaper insert and from email addresses.
Mr. O'Keefe said he did not track the IP addresses of the website participants.
However, there was a ten percent difference between the website respondents who
voted only for a hockey rink and those who voted for a hockey rink and
something else, proving statistically that there was a group that voted
who had an
agenda. Mr. O'Keefe said he conducts surveys for his "real time" job.
In addition, the email survey invitations were sent to those who had
signed up for Parks and Recreation programs, which would be indicative
of a demographic that is younger than the average adult, and younger
than the average voter.
Selectman Brian Herr, who has been a longtime advocate for a hockey
rink, noted that the Community has to pay for a pool, but, "We have a
buyer for the ice rink."
Town Manager Norman Khumalo presented the budget message
refined since the last meeting. Number one on the list was to Level fund
all FY 13 operational expenses at FY 12 levels.
Mr. Herr noted that the Selectmen cannot by law order the School
Committee to do anything. He said he believed the Selectmen got close to
the line with the School Committee at the last budget discussion.
Selectmen voted to lift the hiring freeze, expressing confidence
in Mr. Khumalo, who promised to continue bringing candidates before the
board.

Coach Girard Says to "Get Out the Vote!"
The Hopkinton v Westwood game on November 11th has been chosen as 1 of 2
games that people can vote on to have Fox Boston High School Football
Friday cover the game.
High School Football Friday would do a game preview at some point during
the week, and then cover the game including highlights, interviews and
post game recap on Fox. It is a great opportunity for everyone to vote
and show their support for Hiller Football!
You can vote once a day from your computer -- and if you have more than
one, make sure you use them all to vote for the Hillers! And if our
game gets the most votes, Fox Boston will cover us.

Verbatim
message from Fire Department Yesterday afternoon:
"For safety reasons, the Hopkinton Emergency Management
Team is urging all town residents to postpone their Halloween
activities, especially trick or treating, until next Monday, November 7th.
There are numerous downed wires, trees on wires and trees
blocking roadways throughout the town and it is not safe for
pedestrians.
Thank you for your cooperation"*
*
Yesterday (October 31, 2011), HopNews received numerous phone calls, and
we saw at least one Town Talk query, about Halloween. We directed people
to the Police Department. Many towns, we were told by readers, had
postponed Halloween in favor of celebrating on another day because of
safety concerns. A person answering a phone at the Police Department
said that there would be Halloween as usual. We jumped on it, putting
the info up on HopNews and also, because of the timely nature of the
late message, alerted our facebook fans and tweeted our twitter
followers. Neither the person answering the phone, nor HopNews, knew
that the Emergency Management Team was meeting at that very moment to
assess the overall safety of passage in the town, and came up with the
message above the asterisk. We were asked by the command at the Police
Department to take down the first message in anticipation of the new
one. We did.
However, in the meantime, HopNews inquired of yet another public safety
individual if Halloween was "cancelled," in the way that had quickly
become a popular way of characterizing the postponements around the
area. We were told that it was and so put up the message that readers
saw, declaring that the Fire Department had "postponed" Halloween. We
did so before receiving the actual message above, that in softer terms
urged people to postpone their activities. Thinking the unofficial
message would suffice, and rather than pester our readers with yet
another alert for what seemed like an inconsequential change in wording,
this writer let it stand the way it was.
Needless to say, Town Talk lit up with all sorts of civil disobedience
and push back from people who did not like the Fire Department
determining what holidays they can and cannot celebrate, and on such
short notice. They did no such thing.
In retrospect, we should have replaced the hastily penned alert with the
carefully crafted official message.
Please accept our regrets and apologies for not doing so until now.

Early Winter
Storm Causes Power Outages
FRAMINGHAM, MA – Governor Deval
Patrick has declared a State of
Emergency in response to the
impacts of the severe winter
storm. Heavy wet snow combined
with significant wind conditions
has caused significant power
outages across much of the
Commonwealth.
The
declaration of a State of
Emergency will enable the
Governor to take the appropriate
steps to mobilize many of the
Commonwealth’s assets, such as
the National Guard, and conduct
other emergency business to
assist local communities in
their response to and recovery
from the many impacts from this
winter storm.
The
Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency (MEMA) is the
state agency responsible for
coordinating federal, state,
local, voluntary and private
resources during emergencies and
disasters in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. MEMA provides
leadership to: develop plans for
effective response to all
hazards, disasters or threats;
train emergency personnel to
protect the public; provide
information to the citizenry;
and assist individuals,

Hillers Back On
Winning Track, With Impressive 42-22 Win
Over Bellingham!
Above, Shaun Palmer
gives a Bellingham defender the slip.
By: Lou Ottaviani
October
29, 2011 —
After suffering
their first season loss to Holliston
last week, Hopkinton’s football motto
all week in preparation for this week’s
match up against Bellingham has been
“Starting New!” And last night the
Hillers got to stand by what they
preach.
Coach Jim Gerard
couldn’t have summed it up better by
saying that his team played and scored
on all three phases of the game:
offense,
defense and special teams! To say that
this was a good balanced attack was an
understatement. What the Hopkinton
football team accomplished in the first
quarter alone (scoring 35 points) was
phenomenal. The opportunities and stars
lined up perfectly for the Hillers as
they played what turned out to be an
electrifying game at George T. Anderson
Athletic Field in Bellingham.
“I thought that our
team played a terrific first half,” said
Girard in speaking to his team after the
game. “Congrats on a great win. We now
have to prepare and get ready for our
next week’s game at Medfield. I thought
our team came out fast and that was key
for our players”.
Heck, what Alex
Hulme accomplished in the first 7:03
minutes of the first quarter could be
considered a career season for some high
school players, alone! The talented
senior wide receiver not only scored the
team’s first three touchdowns, he scored
his first touchdown offensively by
catching a 17-yard pass from Hank Rudden
just 2:44 into the game. Then just over
two minutes later Hulme made an
incredible play blocking an Austin Nunn
pass (Bellingham’s quarterback) and
still having the presence of mind to
stay with the play (ala, Vince Wilfork),
he picked off the pass and scampered
35-yards untouched for the Hillers
second score of the game.
And lastly, things
started to get better! On Hopkinton’s
ensuing kick-off, the Hillers defensive
special teams stepped up and wanted to
be heard when James Goncalves recovered
a forced fumble on the kick-off return
to give Hopkinton great field position
near midfield, setting up the Hillers
next score.
Junior quarterback,
Hank Rudden (filling in for starting
quarterback Mike Decina who is out for
the next couple of weeks with mono)
orchestrated a 6-play, 47-yard drive,
behind two key pass completions
(29-yards to Hulme and 21-yards to
Hanlon), set up Hulme’s final score of
the night, a one-yard plunge just 2:19
later.
To put the frosting
on the cake and cap off the brilliant
first half heroics, Bellingham’s Nunn
stepped back to pass on their first play
of their next drive. Waiting like a
thief in the night was Hulme, quickly
grasping it away from a Blackhawk
receiver for his second interception of
the first half. The pick gave Hopkinton
possession at their own 45, which set up
the Hillers next score. What Hulme
accomplished in that 7-minute plus
timeframe, was a special feat of
beauty. For the average high school
football fans who had the opportunity to
witness these series of plays, one
should cherish these moments of
accomplishment, as this type of
athleticism doesn’t happen too often in
such a short time span in a particular
game. Congrats for an awesome
performance!
Another standout in
the first half was senior Barrett
Hanlon. This talented wide receiver
caught another Rudden touchdown pass,
this time for 39-yards to give Hopkinton
their fourth score of the quarter.
Hanlon also kicked six PAT extra points
on the night, leaving him just three PAT
kicks away from setting a new school
record for the most PAT kicks in a
single season (and there are still three
more games left to play). More on this,
as the season continues.
With the score
28-0, and under a minute left to the
first quarter, the excitement still
wasn’t quite over. Bellingham’s John
Imparato was standing back to punt on
the next fourth down play and at the
receiving end was Hopkinton’s Jack
Ryan. Ryan caught and proceeded to
returned Imparato’s punt by rushing and
moving his way along the left side line
for a 35-yard punt return scoring the
Hillers fifth score of the quarter with
30-seconds left, to give Hopkinton a
35-0 lead at the end of the first
quarter.
Bellingham scored
on their next drive to start the second
quarter off by driving 7 plays for
64-yards behind the running of Matt
Kupiec, whose 6 rushes for 61-yards set
up their first score with Austin Nunn
hitting his favorite receiver John
Imparato for a 3-yard touchdown pass
with 7:52 left to the half. Nunn
plunged in from 3-yards out for the PAT
rush to make the score 35-8.
The Hillers quickly
answered back on their next drive
(65-yards on 3-plays); thanks to a
12-yard pick-up by sophomore running
back, Nolan Cornu and a 13-yard pass
completion from Rudden to Hulme to set
up the next play from the 31-yard line.
Cornu blasted through the hole and
scampered 31-yards for Hopkinton’s final
score on the night and giving the
Hillers a very comfortable 42-8 halftime
lead.
October 29, 2011 — Nolan Cornu is taking it home against Bellingham Friday night in an
away game that put one more in the win
column for the Hillers. Check back later for
