June 28, 2012 — Behind the bar at the newly
re-opened Cornell's Irish Pub,
with the emphasis on the word added in the
middle, are Cornell's 25-year employee Bill
Lindsey and newcomer Julie Keefe today, on their
first day reopened after passing papers. Owners
Ellen and Colm Scanlon have been brightening up
the place and putting their own special touches
on things since they took over last week.
Today's afternoon fare from the kitchen was the basic pizza, burgers, chicken fingers, hot dogs and wings, along with a full complement of soft and adult beverages. Next week will be even better. "Next week, we'll have a full, expanded menu with salads, new sandwiches and soups," said Ellen Scanlon today. They will be employing a full-time chef, Jean-Pierre Trudeau, to cook and develop recipes. "We will have consistency with the same daily specials recurring every week," she said. But she emphasized that this soft opening will be followed by a grand opening at another time, after more of the Scanlon's touches are put into place. Mrs. Scanlon said they will be open seven days, and the kitchen will be fully stocked soon. There will be work continuing for a while, with cosmetic changes, like hardwood floors and windows that will be much lower than they are now. "That will let more light in and make it more conducive to a family atmosphere. "We want to be sure people know everyone is welcome." The phone number is 508-435-6191. |

HPLF’s First Annual Touch-A-Truck Event Draws
150 Children
Hopkinton
Public Library Foundation (HPLF)
announces that its First Annual
Touch-A-Truck was a huge success!
The event, held on June 24, 2012,
gathered 150 children as well as
their parents and grandparents.
Children had the chance to get up
close to
trucks, construction vehicles and
machines, police and fire vehicles,
and even a few hot rods. Dan
Higgins, a local dad who came with
his son, was the lucky winner of a
brand new iPad!
Touch-A-Truck could not have been
possible without the generous
support of many local businesses,
residents, and government agencies.
HPLF wishes to thank all those who
made the event a huge success by
donating their time and vehicles:
Norton & Haines Transportation,
Weston Nurseries, Scott Septic,
Inc., Scott's Landscaping, Inc. ,
McIntyre Loam, Inc., R & D Tree
Service, American Climbers, NStar
Gas, W.J. Deiana & Sons, Capobianco
Trucking, Robert Bartlett, the Mann

dental kits for the kids; and Maple
Farms Dairy offered samples of
chocolate milk and lemonade.
HPLF also wishes to thank all the

and the numerous volunteers who
planned and ran the event. Given its
success, HPLF plans to make
Touch-A-Truck, along with the
Mother-Daughter Princess Tea in
January, an annual event.
Touch-A-Truck raised over $1,500.
All proceeds will help to fund the
Hopkinton Public Library building
project. In addition to the $4.5
million grant awarded to the Town of
Hopkinton by the Massachusetts Board
of Library Commissioners (MBLC),
funds raised by HPLF will defray the
Town’s cost of restoring, renovating
and expanding the library’s historic
building. The MBLC expects to fund
Hopkinton's $4.5 million grant as
early as July 2014, as Hopkinton has

Solar 201 will be Thursday at the Senior Center
on Mayhew Street at 7:00 PM.
This is a reminder that the Solar 201 will be at the Senior Center at 28 Mayhew St, this Thursday the 28th starting at 7PM. The Mass CEC will give a shortened version of the 101 presentation. Now that the pricing tiers are fixed, the CEC's cost analysis is more detailed. Solar Flair will be introduced, giving a short presentation and there will be a Q&A session. Also, Admiral's Bank will give a presentation on their unique FHA backed Solar Loan program. The CEC and the Hopkinton Sustainable Green Committee do not endorse this program in any way - it is presented for informational purposes only as an alternative to a home equity loan or power purchase agreement. As promised, here is a spreadsheet of the tiered pricing schedule with all the details for the price adders. Assuming your home is reasonably new and well built, most of them will not apply. If you have an exceptionally steep or tall roof or an old fuse box, some of these adders will kick in. Also some are optional for aesthetic, convenience or higher performance reasons. If you don't want to read your meter on a quarterly basis (how you get paid for SRECS's), you could choose the monitoring option to do it automatically. If the system is 10kW or greater (unlikely), monitoring is required. When Solar Flair comes to do a full site assessment, they will be able to tell you which adders are mandatory and explain why. Hope to see you all on Thursday - Andy Boyce, Solar Coach. Photo by Nancy Drawe. |

77
West Main Looking to Expand • 200 affordable units • Health facility - tennis, fitness, swim • Retail • Restaurant • Offices
by Robert Falcione
June 25, 2012 — Paul Mastroianni, owner of the development at 77 West Main Street (Dynasty, Advantage Verizon Wireless, Hopkinton Wine and Spirits, Main Street Pediatrics, etc.) appeared before the Planning Board this evening to unveil conceptual plans for developing a part of the 204 acres, formerly known as the Terry Property, that he recently purchased for $3 million. The newly acquired parcel abuts the 77 West Main Street property. Mr. Mastroianni would like to connect the current plaza with part of the new parcel by a common access driveway to a development with an approximately 60,000 square foot combination retail/office space with an additional retail/commercial building across the drive from that. A boulevard off of Lumber Street would bisect the two buildings and lead to four 4-story buildings with 200 affordable apartment units, something that Chairman Ken Weismantel, and most of the board, was in favor of. "If you look at 200 units, it will take care of our 40B requirements for the next 30 years," said Mr. Weismantel. A "40B" project refers to a state definition of affordable housing and a developer's right to skirt local zoning with a comprehensive permit from one board in a town that has not met the state's quota. This project, called a "friendly 40B" by Mr. Mastroianni, would satisfy the quota and put a stop to further "unfriendly" 40B developments. Planning Board member Claire Wright, however, was not as easily persuaded. "I don't feel comfortable the way the residential group is set up," she said. Mrs. Wright objected to the apartment residents needing to go through a commercial area to get home. She said she would rather the development look more residential than urban. Part of the proposed project includes a tennis and fitness facility. One Planning Board member suggested special off-times for high school swimming and tennis. The plan is currently conceptual with no buildings designed, and no permits applied for. Tonight's meeting was held for the developer to let the Planning Board know what he would like to accomplish and to get guidance from them. Inasmuch as not all of the zoning is in compliance, Mr. Mastroianni will set up meetings with ZAC (Zoning Advisory Committee) to develop an OSMUD (Open Space Mixed Use Development) overlay similar to what Legacy Farms did in East Hopkinton. NOTE: Drawing above is an excerpt from a larger map, which also shows "undeveloped" land to the east of this. This map show less than half of the 204 acre parcel. |

Guy Morse to Retire from B.A.A. after 28 years of service with the organization.
BOSTON
– The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) announced
today that Guy L. Morse, III will retire from the
organization at the end of this year after 28 years of
service. He has served as the B.A.A.’s Race Director for
the Boston Marathon (1985-2000), Executive Director
(2000 - 2010) and Senior Director of External Affairs
(2010 – present). "I believe now is the appropriate time to bring to a close this stage of my career, having served the B.A.A. in a number of roles and in various ways for almost three decades,” said Morse. “I confidently look back upon our accomplishments during my tenure as a leader in the running industry and the community knowing that we are among the most prestigious and stable sports organizations in the world. I have been delighted to contribute to the B.A.A. as we have moved towards a highly professional model, and I cannot be more pleased that the B.A.A. and its many events, especially the Boston Marathon, stand on solid ground. I am immensely proud of the work we did – particularly in the difficult 1980s and into the early 1990s – in having essentially rebuilt the organization.”
“The B.A.A. brand has never been stronger, and the Boston Marathon has never been more popular or experienced greater demand than it has in recent years,” said Joann E. Flaminio, B.A.A. President. “Guy’s expertise and leadership have played a key role in that, and the B.A.A. is grateful for his loyalty and commitment which encompasses an entire career.”
“One important facet of Guy’s legacy with the B.A.A. is his role in building and developing the staff and participating in the creation of the race organizing committees,” said Thomas S. Grilk, B.A.A. Executive Director. “Guy is a consensus-builder by nature, and the work that he and those groups have done has resulted in programs and events which have strong value, positive impact and have advanced the B.A.A.’s mission of promoting a healthy lifestyle.”
As for the future, Morse will honor his commitment to the B.A.A. through the end of the year, then after some time off will review opportunities and areas of personal interest in the sports, entertainment and non-profit worlds. “I always have been motivated to lend my experience to organizations interested in development and progress through the proven management style and idea implementation we’ve employed at the B.A.A. My motivation continues, and I look forward to new opportunities.” Contributed content. HopNews file photo. |
