Eighth Grade Girls Softball Ends Season on
Positive Note June 11, 2012 — The team was 12-1-2. Almost a perfect season. Outscoring other teams 4:1. That was not the best part though. The best part was off the field, the team raised $360 for the autism group, East Coast Jumbos & autism awareness. The girls set up shop in front of Hopkinton drug, and also asked family members to purchase car magnets in the shape of a ribbon promoting Autism awareness. The girls learned how lucky they are to be able to to play a sport they love every day. They also learned that athletics are really important but, come after school, family, and special needs; and they gave up some of their personal time, in efforts to help out this extra special group of kids. Above, players pose with coach Rick LeBalnc, grey shirt, and coach Ray LeBlanc, who accepted the gift on behalf of the East Coast Jumbos. |

Tech Team Rescues 20
Year-old in Ashland Quarry Cliff Fall Several towns participate in effort June 10, 2012 — A call that came in to Ashland Police at 2:39 pm Sunday from friends led to the discovery of a 20 year-old at the quarry at Aggragate Industries in Ashland following a 15-20 foot fall from the side of the quarry onto some rocks, which rendered him unconscious. Firefighters arrived at the victim's side at 3:33 pm, and assessed the young man's vital signs to be stable. Then the Tech Team from Fire District 14 was activated, putting real world and simulated practical experience in extricating people from dangerous conditions to the test. Firefighters pulled the patient up the cliff while other firefighters bushwacked a trail with chainsaws to a home on Olive Street for the fastest way to an ambulance. Below, Hopkinton Firefighter Kaz Piorkowski talks about the use of ropes and the difficulty of reaching the victim in the rockey terrain, loosened by years of excavation. Ashland Police Public Information Officer Lt. David Iarussi said that the quarry has about 20 more years before the property will be transferred to the town and included as part of the Ashland Reservoir to be incorporated into that park. See the quarrry and hear Lt. Iarussi talk on video here. |

Who is the Victim in
Landman Debacle?
Editor: The parting-of-the-ways between Dr. Landman and the Hopkinton School Committee has all the makings of a childish high school break-up...."It's not you, it's me." While we may have accepted such a silly excuse when we were 16, we shouldn't have to accept it now. The community, as well as the employees of our school system, deserve more information.
I have been in
contact with the School Committee directly regarding
my concerns over Landman's "resignation" and how
poorly they have handled it. Was he fired or did he
quit? Why was it so abrupt and so soon after an
election? If he did quit, then why the $105k
good-bye gift? I have grown increasingly frustrated
with their generic, "cut and paste" answers. I
eagerly watched last night's School Committee
meeting hoping to get answers and heard many fellow
residents express their heartfelt concerns. While I
didn't expect the committee to respond to the
comments during the meeting, I wanted them to give
some sort of timeframe as to when they would. They
did not. I can't help but think of a quote from one
of our favorite movies, Elf. "You sit on a throne of
lies."
The School
Committee keeps hiding Dr. Landman (and themselves)
behind a shroud of "privacy" as if he is some sort
of victim. Yet, when he is the one walking away with
our money, I can only wonder who the real victim is.
While I realize some information can not be
disclosed, the taxpayers of Hopkinton deserve better
answers. Once they learn to stay out of our wallets,
we'll stay out of their business.
Sincerely,
Linda Lane
